Overgeared Chapter 188:
Chapter 188
If Pagma’s Descendant was a class that relied on items, orators were a class that specialized in talking .
They could get more favorable conditions for quests by talking to NPCs, or give buffs or debuffs with specific remarks . In particular, orators were absolutely necessary for nobles and lords . It was possible to boost the morale of the army through eloquence, and it was easily to appeal to the people and take control of the public opinion .
But an orator wasn’t a preferred class for users . Most users were reluctant to become orators, so they were a very rare class . The problem was that it was difficult to raise their level . The weapon they could equip was ‘books . ’ They had only one attack skill . There were no defense or escape skills . They had lower health than a magician .
First of all, the problem was that their weapon was a book . A book had the option of adding to the narrative power, but it didn’t have the ability to increase magic power or store magic like orbs . They had to charge with the weapon and swing it at the target . But would the target be hurt if hit with a book? Not at all . The attack power was too weak . A book exerted much less damage than a blacksmith’s hammer .
The only attack skill an orator possessed was Spiteful Tongue . This was also a problem . It wasn’t practical at all, because there was a 80 second cooldown and it only dealt 200% damage to a single target .
It was practically impossible for an orator to hunt solo . They had to rely on hunting in parties . Unfortunately, it was difficult for an orator to find a party . It was due to the lack of viability . What did the great buffs and debuffs matter?
It was obvious when an orator participated in battle . Their constants words were tiring . The party members also had to keep on eye on the orator to make sure they didn’t die . Most users didn’t like having orators in their party . Apart from the orator class, there were clerics, black magicians, dancers, linkers, etc . to give buff skills, so there was no need to add an unstable orator to the party .
As a result, it was very difficult for an orator to level up through hunting . They weren’t able to level up through production like production classes, so they had to rely on leveling up through quests .
In other words, the level of difficulty for an orator was the highest among all classes in Satisfy, and most users avoided the orator class due to this . This was despite the fact that orators were a class that nobles and lords all over the continent would pay expensive money for!
Grid was truly lucky to obtain the 1st ranked orator as his subordinate .
‘…Does Grid know such facts?’ Lauel questioned as he looked at Grid, who always made Huroi run errands .
At the same time, in the outskirts of Winston .
“…Sword?”
The ‘unique’ Huroi who obtained a second class in Satisfy . Shay’s party was frowning at the horrifying debuff that was placed on them . Now the orator was armed with a sword? Moreover, the sword had a sinister appearance . Didn’t it resemble the greatsword that Grid used to smash them in the past? They felt anxious as the bad memory popped up .
‘It can’t be… No?’
Shay tried to calm down as he smiled awkwardly .
“An orator armed with a sword… Isn’t he still an easy threat? Right? Are you bluffing? You, you can’t wield that . Right?”
Huroi was exactly 937th on the unified rankings . This was a similar ranking to Shay, and was high enough to be compared to Kerb and Sniffer . Nevertheless, the reason why Shay dared face Huroi was simple .
Huroi was an orator . Wasn’t an orator the weakest? His level might be high, but it was thanks to Grid’s power and repeated party hunting . Huroi himself would be extremely weak . Why was he armed with a sword?
Shay rapidly became uneasy . It seemed that he couldn’t grasp Huroi properly .
“…Originally, I was a helpless existence . ” Huroi gazed at Shay’s party and brought up an old story . “I raised my level while doing small quests . Then one day . ”
Yes, he first met his lord in Winston .
“I acquired the first S-grade quest of my life . ”
He was forced to do an outrageous quest where he was trapped in a narrow dungeon for 50 hours of real time . It was unimaginably painful . It wasn’t a level he could endure with his usual mentality .
He wanted to give up and logout many times . But he endured it . He persevered in the hopes of going beyond the limits of an orator . However, he kept waiting and waiting .
“I didn’t think the quest would end . ”
A quest where he had to wait for a savior who might not appear . Huroi had gone half crazy by the quest . He couldn’t log out for more than 150 hours in game time and was trapped in a dark place . His sense of time blurred . He wasn’t aware of what he was doing . It was just **** .
Just before the quest’s time limit ended . A ray of light appeared in the darkness . It was the moment when Grid appeared .
“…My Lord saved me . Thanks to him, my wait wasn’t in vain and I was able to complete the quest . ”
He got a new strength .
Second class: Apostle of Justice’s Partner .
* A matchless bravery .
* When you are with the Apostle of Justice, all stats will increase by 20% .
* The skills Unbreakable Justice and Sacrifice for Justice can be used .
Title ‘One who Overcomes Hardships . ’
* Holds extremely high mental strength .
* Won’t give in to any trials .
* Skill ‘Strong Will’ can be used .
“Master has given me new strength . ”
Now he was strong . He only existed for his lord!
“I won’t allow anyone to harm My Lord!”
Shay’s party was thrilled by Huroi’s story .
‘This is a touching story…’
‘Grid, this guy…!’
‘My heart is heavy!’
This was truly an orator . Huroi’s story made people listen to him . Therefore, Shay’s party couldn’t help concentrating on Huroi’s story . It was like they were the protagonists of the story . They were thrilled when Huroi got to the part when he was saved . They couldn’t help thinking of Grid as wonderful, despite being their enemy .
That was the problem .
[You have become fascinated by the interesting story . ]
[You feel like the main character of the story . ]
[Thanks to the story, you have lost all sense of reality . You are unable to grasp the situation . ]
[You will feel confused for 3 seconds . ]
“Heok?”
Originally, an orator’s weapon was their mouth . Giving an orator a chance to use their mouth was no different from suicide .
“W-What is this…!”
“Shit! What is this fraudulent skill?”
Shay’s group never had experience dealing with orators, so they became easily confused . Huroi stared at them and shouted, “You dare try to kill me? Come!”
[Your morale has increased . ]
[The next attack will be a critical hit!]
This was the highest buff skill of an orator, that applied a buff to all allies for two seconds . Then Huroi swung his black sword .
“Unbreakable Justice!”
[Unbreakable Justice Lv . 5 (88 . 1%)]
Deals 650% of your attack power .
Skill Mana Cost: 500
Skill Cooldown Time: 100 seconds
Unbreakable Justice was an unique skill that only the Apostle of Justice and his partner could use . It dealt damage in a wide area and the cooldown time was very short compared to its power .
But Grid hardly ever used Unbreakable Justice after acquiring Pagma’s Swordsmanship . Compared to the legendary rated Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Unbreakable Justice had no advantages except that it was an immediate use skill . For Grid, it was more mana efficient to use Pagma’s Swordsmanship than Unbreakable Justice .
But Unbreakable Justice was Huroi’s main skill . He relied on the skill so much that he already built up tremendous proficiency with it . It was level 5 . Now it dealt 650% wide area damage . Furthermore, the black sword that Huroi was currently armed with…
[Mass-produced One-handed Sword (Prototype)]
Rating: Unique
Durability: 49/51 Attack Power: 423
Attack Speed: -7% Accuracy: -2%
A trial work by the legendary blacksmith G .
A one-handed sword that can be easily used by anyone, and is designed to exert high attack power .
It’s an aggressive design made by referencing Dainsleif (Reproduction), and has succeeded in manifesting great attack power . However, it emphasizes convenience, so the overall perfection is poor, meaning additional functions such as durability are weak .
If steel was used as the main material rather than black iron, the limitations of this work would be more prominent and it would be treated as a consumable item .
User Restriction: Level 230 or higher . 300 strength . Beginner Sword Mastery .
Weight: 410
Huroi generated the Sword Mastery passive after acquiring his second class . He could now use a sword as a weapon . But he was an orator and his strength stat was very low, so it was impossible for him to use a proper sword for his level .
His troubles ended after Grid made the Mass-produced One-handed Sword (Prototype) for him . The name indicated that Grid planned to earn money through mass production of it someday, but the attack power was already beyond the limits of a one-handed sword . It was comparable to the minimum attack power of Dainsleif .
Half of Grid’s intentions when producing it was successful .
Kwaaaang!
[Critical!]
[You have dealt 7,910 damage to the target . ]
[You have dealt 9,250 damage to the target . ]
[You have dealt 10,180 damage to the target . ]
Assassins invested their points into agility instead of stamina . Therefore, they relied on high evasion instead of defense . But they were in a state of confusion and couldn’t avoid the attacks . Shay’s party was struck by the power of Unbreakable Justice .
“Cough!”
“Cough!”
[You have suffered fatal damage!]
[You can’t regain your mental state . ]
The enormous damage caused them to suffer from confusion again . It was the ‘confusion linkage’ that they had only heard rumors about . An orator managing to do something like this…
‘…Does this make sense?’
‘Ah… Really, shit…’
Shay was grouchy . They dreamed of getting revenge on Grid, only to be killed by his subordinate before even meeting Grid? And the subordinate was an orator?
“Damn…”
They couldn’t help cursing . Three assassins being beaten by an orator . If this was known, they would be ridiculed everywhere they went . They were also worried about their experience and items dropping .
