Overgeared Chapter 259:


Chapter 259

The day before the seven guilds invaded Reidan .

Pon and Regas travelled through the desert and discovered a dungeon entrance that reminded them of an ant hill .

“This dungeon isn’t marked on the map, is it?” Regas asked .

Pon checked the map and nodded . Then Regas immediately entered the dungeon . There was no time to stop him . It was a really remarkable performance . Pon followed after Regas .

10 seconds after they entered the dungeon . The entrance to the dungeon disappeared into the desert .

“Wow . ”

“This…”

Pon and Regas were surprised after entering the dungeon, and then a series of notification windows appeared in front of them .



[You have entered the Vampire’s Underground City (13) . ]

[Benefits will be given to the first dungeon finders! The gold and item drop rate in the dungeon will increase by 8%! This benefit will last for 10 days and will disappear when you die . ]



It was regrettable that the experience rate didn’t increase, but it was still good . But the rest was the problem .



[The entrance of the dungeon is blocked . Contact with the outside world will be blocked . ]

[You can’t escape the dungeon until you have died or kill the dungeon boss . ]



It was an unusual type of dungeon . The most powerful duo in Overgeared were tasked with ‘collecting information about the western dungeons and finding the ideal hunting ground . ’ This was the moment that they fell into a desperate crisis .

“We’re trapped…”

Pon was well aware of vampires . They were a top-ranking combat species that possessed attack cancelling skills and enchanting skills . They were especially strong in dark places . The entry of light was completely blocked and they were trapped in a city of vampires…

‘We will die . ’

As Pon was feeling frustrated, Regas looked at the dungeon unfolding before him with bright eyes .

“Isn’t it unbelievably amazing here?”

High buildings and pointed spires . Gothic buildings reminiscent of Notre Dame Cathedral and Cologne Cathedral were scattered throughout the dark dungeon . The spectacular and dreary scenery overwhelmed the onlookers, but Regas was pleased about finding a new dungeon .

“We should hunt before the buff ends . ”

“…”

Anyone would be afraid of the death penalty . In particular, it was more severe for rankers . But Regas wasn’t afraid of death . He might be 12th on the unified rankings, but he enjoyed the challenge .

‘In any case, this is fun . ’

Regas smiled at the sight .

Pon smiled and moved .

“Let’s go . ”

They had to fight anyway, so they should do it thoroughly . It would be ideal if they killed all the vampires and boss before the buff ended .

Pon and Regas moved in secret . It was the start of an epic struggle .

Jude . He was Grid’s knight and served at the captain of the security forces in Reidan . He would stop any harm from happening to Duke Grid’s city .

This was Jude’s perspective .

“Captain, get some rest now . ”

“I don’t want to . ”

There was no rest for Jude . He always tried to maintain Reidan’s safety, except for when he slept . He even ate when he was patrolling .

‘Captain is admirable . ’

‘I have to work harder!’

Jude chewing dry bread while patrolling became a model for the soldiers . The soldiers of Reidan became more diligent every day . They endured the harsh training and their growth speed was very fast . They were basically overgeared soldiers, so it was only a matter of time before they were reborn as elites .

“Today . Reidan . Safe . ”

Jude didn’t know .

One night a week ago . Hundreds of people had tried to invade Reidan while he was sleeping . He never knew that they were repelled by only four farmers . Was it because he was an idiot with only 20 intelligence?

No . This was Lauel’s intent . Lauel didn’t announce the Reidan invasion so that the people weren’t disturbed . It was easy to cover up . It was night time and the enemies could only reach the wheat fields outside the walls . They even retreated quickly . Only a few people knew about what happened that night . It was sad, but Jude wasn’t included in this minority .

“Jude . Today . Strong . ”

Today, Reidan was peaceful . The people believed it was due to Jude’s merits .

“Captain Jude! Please work hard today!”

“Thank you!”

Jude was proud every time people greeted him . He worked harder as he patrolled . Everything was for Duke Grid .

[The hidden quest ‘Fun and Enjoyable Training!’ has been completed . ]



As soon as the notification window popped up, Kraugel put down the farming equipment that he had been holding for a month .

‘The end . ’

It was disappointing . He was glad to be able to leave on new adventures, but he was sorry to say goodbye to Reidan . In hindsight, this was the first time he’d stayed in one place for so long .

‘I’ll miss it . ’

He looked over the vast wheat fields . The fun and precious memories from the last month, which couldn’t be forgotten, were engraved on his mind .

“I’m leaving . ”

He approached an impressive middle-aged man with a commanding presence and deep gaze . The fact that he wasn’t a simple person could be seen from his eyes .

Piaro . The first ranked Kraugel couldn’t win against him in the end . Kraugel smiled gently and bowed deeply to him .

“Thank you for everything . ”

It was the luck of a lifetime that he met Piaro . Thanks to working tirelessly in the field and sparring with Piaro, Kraugel could finally cross the wall . Sword Saint 4th Stage . There was one more step until he became a sword saint .

“You should come back here often . You’re always welcome . ”

Piaro reached out his hand . It was a dirty hand covered with calluses . Kraugel could see a little bit of the road that Piaro had been walking in the meantime . Kraugel grabbed the hand politely .

“Yes, Brother . ”

Then when he next came to visit…

‘I will be the best . ’

Kraugel had been greatly disappointed when Piaro became a farmer . He thought that Piaro gave up the road to being a sword saint . But that wasn’t it . He realized it when they were together . Piaro didn’t give up . He chose a more suitable path for himself .

The class wasn’t important . It was important that he was a legend . Currently, Piaro succeeded in combining farming equipment with swordsmanship, and Sword Saint Muller couldn’t even be compared . Piaro had become the strongest man . In order to compete with him…

‘I also have to become a legend . ’

Sword saint . It didn’t matter how long it would take, Kraugel was determined to achieve it . He wanted to become equal to Piaro and face him .



***

‘I have noticed . ’

A man wearing a straw hat was saying goodbye to Piaro . He didn’t take off his hat to the end . Faker followed him and as soon as he left Reidan, he used White Light Steps .

‘It truly is him…’

Faker was convinced after seeing the white light .

‘The sky above the sky . ’

The peak of two billion users, Kraugel . It wouldn’t be hard for him to throw Faker off his scent . A faint smile broke out on Faker’s face . Kraugel had a relationship with Reidan and might become a positive influence on Grid later on .

[The hidden quest ‘Fun and Enjoyable Training!’ has been completed . ]



It was eight days after Kraugel left . Damian also finished the quest .

“Good!”

Damian confirmed his ascending stats and skill level from the quest reward and was filled with joy . It was unbelievable compensation for such a short period of time . Damian achieved a dramatic growth compared to three weeks ago .

“It would’ve been nice to share this joy with Rin-chan . ”

Damian felt regret . He turned his attention to the horizon beyond the wheat field .

‘Now I just have to wait for Grid . ’

Today was the day that Grid was scheduled to return . Damian was filled with expectations .

‘If Grid could seal Lifael’s Spear…’

Isabel-chan could be saved . On the other hand, he was worried .

‘What if Grid refuses my request?’

The Grid that Damian knew was a very greedy person . He couldn’t imagine that such a person would help others out of simple goodwill .

‘Lauel says I should have faith, but…’

He had to prepare for the worst . Damian started to prepare the treasures to be given to Grid . He disposed of all items except for his main equipment, and even changed his savings to gold .

‘I’m willing to sell my house…’

Damian firmed up his heart .

And that night .

Grid finally returned . Asmophel was with him .

“Have you been well?”

Grid returned after five weeks and was now level 295 . He grew even more after a long journey, making the Overgeared members overwhelmed . In particular, Lauel was feeling a thrill .

‘G-Great!’

The eyes that shone with a red light! It was completely to Lauel’s taste . Grid scratched his head as he looked at the people around him . His eyes were tinged with affection .

“What happened?”

Damian shook his head from where he was standing behind the Overgeared members and looked at Grid .

‘What’s this? He doesn’t know that his city was invaded?’

The invasion of Reidan by the seven guilds was a global issue . Even people who didn’t play Satisfy a lot were aware of this incident thanks to the news . Therefore, it was surprising that the person involved, Grid, wasn’t aware of it .

Lauel laughed . “Were you so busy with the quest that you didn’t watch TV?”

“Yes . I’m so busy playing the game that I reduced my sleeping time . ”

This quest was annoying in many ways . It was a long distance to Titan and Asmophel’s mansion was hard to find . It was due to the wards installed by Dark Bus . Grid trembled as he recalled the day he saw Titan, the biggest city on the continent, much bigger than Reidan . He was lucky that the last boss was weak . If the opponent had been strong, he would’ve started crying .

‘I had a hard time but it was worth it . The reward was good and most of all, it was linked with a hidden quest . ’

Grid wanted to finish this quest by reuniting Piaro and Asmophel as soon as possible . Then he would logout, wash, and go to sleep . He also missed his mother’s meals . He hadn’t seen the faces of his family for several days .

“But why are you talking about the TV? What happened?”

“Just something trivial… You can check it slowly later on . ”

“I have something separate to do . Where’s Piaro’s house?”

Grid questioned and Lauel and the Overgeared members guided him . Damian noticed that it wasn’t his turn yet and followed them silently .
