Overgeared Chapter 1313:
The way mana was used was divided into several different techniques . The flow of mana changed according to the technique applied, the magic core responded, and the magic was completed . However, there was fighting energy in all the mana circuits in Grid’s body . It was also as thick as tar . As a result, the flow of mana wasn’t smooth .
It didn’t mean that the match between fighting energy and mana was bad . It was a side effect that occurred because Grid’s fighting energy was in harmony with sword energy . The opposite would’ve occurred with sword energy if Grid had a harmony between mana and fighting energy .
‘Someone did this . ’
Who was the one who changed Grid’s circulation? Braham, the magician, didn’t like it, but he didn’t think of beating up this unknown person . He noticed that Grid’s potential had risen thanks to this . While this person was an enemy to Braham, they were also the one who gave an opportunity to Grid .
‘I don’t think they are an ordinary master . ’
Braham found it difficult to guess the identity of the other person despite his knowledge being as vast as the sea . However, it hurt his ego to ask Grid about the identity of the person . He just accepted that the world was wide .
“You’ve picked well . ”
Braham soothed his regret and his eyes soon brightened as he watched Grid . The magic book picked by Grid was a good choice . On the other hand, Grid’s expression was rotten . “I’ve picked well? Are you serious?”
Decoy—this was the identity of the magic in the magic book he picked . It was a type of dummy magic that made a bird of mana to deceive the opponent . It was a disheartening result for Grid who wanted powerful destruction magic or weapon enchant-based magic that maximized his items .
‘It would’ve been a big jackpot if I learned Meteor . ’
He had set a big goal for himself . Grid had longed for Meteor ever since designing Failure . He couldn’t help being disappointed . Then Braham asked him, “Is it destructive power that you lack?”
“ . . . I don’t think it is lacking . ”
Are you lacking the ability to protect your body?”
“It isn’t that either . ”
Braham nodded as Grid answered honestly .
“Thats right . The thing you are most lacking is experience . Decoy is a precious magic that will fill your lack of experience . ”
“Decoy will fill up my lacking experience?”
Grid couldn’t get a sense of it . Decoy was something that Grid had used previously . During the time when his second class was Legendary Great Magician, one of the magics that was temporarily activated due to the effect of increasing intelligence was Decoy . It was definitely useful at that time . He used Decoy to confuse the other person and make them reveal a gap .
However, the opponents that Grid would have to face in the future were powerful beings like Braham in front of him . Would such a trivial trick work on them?
Braham pointed his staff at the distrusting Grid . “Try using Shunpo . ”
“Yes . ”
Grid immediately used Shunpo .
[Shunpo has failed to trigger . ]
“Cough . . . ”
“ . . . . . . ”
Shamefully, there were several failures . Then the moment the successful Grid took control of Braham’s rear, Braham teleported away . This was the result for the entire battle . A transcendent’s combat style of ‘leaping through space with Shunpo to strike’ didn’t work at all .
‘Does it make sense for Teleport to be used faster than Blink?’
The movement magic that magicians used in combat was Blink, not Teleport . It would be possible to leap through space with just one second of casting, unlike Teleport that required a long casting time .
The movement distance was very short and it had the fatal disadvantage of not being able to select the location they moved to . Even so, magicians were able to fight against knights thanks to Blink . They approached and attacked the sword-wielding knights with Blink .
However, Braham was completely different from the usual magician . Rather than using a second, Teleport was activated immediately and he moved to his desired location . Who in the world could catch him? He was a crazily fraudulent character .
Grid was looking around when he felt Braham’s presence behind him . ‘I got him!’
Had he grown from one spar? Unlike the earlier spar, Grid succeeded in capturing Braham’s position in an instant and he reached out with a joyful face . However, it wasn’t Braham that he grabbed . It was a mass of magic power . It was a bird made of Decoy .
“ . . . . . . ?”
Were his transcendent senses tricked? Grid looked like he had seen a ghost and Braham appeared in front of him .
“I fully understand why you distrust Decoy . It isn’t high ranking magic but there are some benefits compared to the clone skills . ”
His words were accurate . Grid could use clones thanks to the power of the great demon imprinted on the rune . It was just that every time he used the clones, strong people quickly found the main body . Then what about Decoy which was merely a mass of magic power?
Grid guessed that it would have no effect, unlike the clones that confused the opponent for a while . Yet just like Braham’s Teleport, the Braham style Decoy was different from ordinary Decoy .
“The advantage of Decoy is that it is a lower ranked magic . ” Braham extracted a small amount of magic power and formed a bird . It was as red as blood, and as large and fierce as a bird of prey . “It inherits the mana nature of the caster . ”
“Ah!” Grid let out a cry of excitement when he realized why his transcendent senses were deceived . Decoy might not be able to deceive the other person’s eyes like the clones, but it could perfectly deceive their senses . Of course, it was possible because it wasnt an ordinary Decoy . It was Braham’s style of Decoy .
Grid was fidgeting as he thought about how to use the flexible Decoy . Then Braham smiled and spread open his arms . It was a pious act that reminded people of a great master . “Assimilate it . ”
At the same time .
[Decoy (Enhanced) has been learned . ]
[Decoy (Enhanced) Lv . 1]
[Separates mana to summon a bird .
The bird’s range of motion is five meters around the summoner and it will last for 10 seconds .
Summonable Range: 1 meter radius
Cooldown Time: 3 minutes .
Mana Consumption: 1,000]
‘Transcend . ’
In order to grasp the opportunity without variables, he had to make the probability of Shunpo 100% . Grid judged and used Transcend . Then he immediately activated Shunpo and Decoy . He used Shunpo to move to Braham’s side while he summoned Decoy behind Braham’s back . The bird that Grid summoned was as black as a crow .
Braham nodded . “Okay . Once applied in this way, it will be difficult for the other person to determine your location with just their senses . ”
Well, even so . . .
“It doesn’t mean much if you burn them both at the same time . ”
“Uwaaaack!”
***
“In any case, he is a willful old man . . . ”
It was still a long time until his immortal cooldown ended . Grid, who hadn’t expected to be attacked, complained as he drank a potion and Braham scoffed .
“It is your fault for being careless . In any case, the usage of Decoy is endless . Be sure to devote yourself to devising new methods so you can use it more diversely . ”
“Yes . . . ”
It was Braham who was telling him that he was careless, not anyone else . Grid clicked his tongue as he recalled Braham’s past of being stabbed in the back by a friend . Then the Knowledge Room collapsed and disappeared . Mercedes greeted Grid and Braham as soon as they returned to reality, You’ve worked hard . ”
“Yes,”Grid answered without thinking .
‘How does she know that he worked hard?’
Braham had a strange feeling . Even the Duke of Wisdom, Braham, felt awkward around Mercedes despite understanding the truth of the world . He couldn’t figure out her potential because he couldn’t measure the depth in those quiet eyes .
“Bah . ”
It happened the moment when the uncomfortable Braham scoffed and turned around . . .
“?”
Braham felt a new miracle approaching and stopped on the spot .
“There is an issue to report . ”
Soon after, Faker popped out of the shadows . Grid was shocked because he only felt Faker’s presence once Faker was close .
“It is amazing after he has become Lantier . . . ”
Grid truly admired it . A being who erased his existence from the world—he had already experienced it and knew that Lantier’s stealth skills were on a different level . He just never dreamt that Faker would’ve already assimilated it .
‘It has only been a few weeks since he changed his class . To reach this level . . . ’
How far would he grow? Grid gulped as Faker told him, “There is a report that Rothschild has started to move . They feel the need to keep us in check and are doing many things . ”
“Why do they feel the need to keep us in check?”
Chairman Lee Jinmyung said that the world’s leading group and families had invested in Satisfy a long time ago . It was said that Rothschild was one of them, from as early as the open beta period . Their foresight was second to none . However, he was told that their purpose was to accumulate wealth . They could make a deal with the Overgeared Kingdom and there was no need for a hostile relationship .
“I don’t know the details yet . ”
Faker reported the incident in Reidan to the confused Grid . Grid listened silently before nodding .
“So the words of the revolutionaries haven’t been confirmed to be true or not . ”
The revolutionaries said they had Rothschild behind them, but . . . what was the truth?
“Don’t issue a killing order yet . Let the revolutionaries move freely while keeping an eye on the situation . ”
It was a smarter Grid . He wasn’t blinded by anger and pursued practical interests . Faker nodded and moved back into the shadows . Grid already lost his presence before he moved less than 10 meters . Braham had been watching silently and now he laughed .
“This kingdom is going crazy . ”
It wasn’t to this extent when Braham was first resurrected—there was only one farmer who could be called quite capable in the Overgeared Kingdom, yet now . . .
“Huh?”
“Nothing, I was just talking to myself . ”
Braham shook his head and left . He was smiling . He was proud of Grid who brought together so many great legends . It was an achievement that no one had been able to do before, no, they didn’t even try it .
“Let’s go,” Grid urged Mercedes .
It was the graduation day of the very first graduates since the establishment of the Overgeared Academy . He planned to encourage the new talents, meet Sticks, and then travel to Cokro Island .
The stars in the night sky sparkled brilliantly . They seemed to be illuminating Grid’s future path .
TL: Small change to the skill Sky that I just realized wasnt saved when I edited the previous chapter 1304 . Instead of every sword dance, it is every single sword dance .
