Overgeared Chapter 269:
Chapter 269
‘This… perhaps?’
At that moment, something passed through Grid’s head .
‘Goddess’ Essence!’
The Goddess’ Essence was an unknown item dropped by Pope Drevigo . He had neglected it for over a year . Grid pulled it out of his inventory .
‘It is unlikely that Drevigo would’ve dropped a useless item . ’
Drevigo wasn’t a typical boss . He was a person who had a big influence on Satisfy’s story . The man who ruined Satisfy’s first religion, the Rebecca Church . What was the probability that the liquid he dropped was simple water?
‘None . ’
The name alone made it sound special . Grid thought about it . The reason why he unsealed Lifael’s Spear . The cause of Pascal’s appearance . The cause of the elders sympathizing with Pascal’s cause…
It was all due to Drevigo .
‘It’s highly likely that the item dropped by him is a solution to this . ’
This was originally a game . The items that the final boss dropped were often clues to overcome despair .
“I shall check it . ”
Grid decided and opened the lid of the small glass bottle . Then he placed one drop of it on Lifael’s Spear .
Tok .
The moment that Lifael’s Spear made of adamantium and the Goddess’ Essence met .
Swaaaah!
A bright blue light emerged and filled the small room .
“Ah!” Isabel exclaimed .
Grid gazed at the beautiful light before turning to her . A notification window popped up in front of Grid .

Five days had passed with no news from Crow . Kamiyan was forced to admit it .
‘Crow has died . ’
At first, Kamiyan was dubious . Crow’s assassination skills were the best . It was difficult to imagine that he failed in his assassination . But on the fifth day, it was obvious that Crow had failed .
‘Stupid, you spoke such confident words . ’
Anyway, things had become clear .
‘Grid’s strength is on the same level as me . There is no doubt . ’
Even more .
‘I have to be careful . ’
Grid hadn’t announced that there was an assassination attempt . It was like he had never received the assassination threat . It was a clear sign of his willingness to remain calm until he figured out who was behind it .
‘I thought he was ridiculous when he treated Pascal and the elders in that way, but he’s actually a fox . ’
A tricky **** . To be praised by members of the church while having individual power…
‘Pascal’s gift attempts are failing every day . It isn’t good to drag this out longer . ’
Kamiyan shifted his gaze out the window . Damian and Huroi were still campaigning today . They were a nuisance .
‘Especially that person called Huroi…’
His speaking ability wasn’t common . He quickly took control of the hearts of the church members . Some of the senior priests bought by Pascal now seemed to favor Damian . If Huroi called dog feces a drug, they would believe it .
‘I will deal with it personally . ’
In one week . The event that took place exactly 30 days before the pope election . The pope candidates would give speeches to the priests of the Rebecca Church scattered across the continent, as well as the nobles .
At that time, Earl Chirita of the Saharan Empire was going to attend . Pascal’s father was different from Pascal . He got rid of any risks .
‘I have to receive his support to hit Grid . ’
He acknowledged that Grid’s individual power was superior . However, Grid’s total power wasn’t good . It was a Rebecca’s Daughter who might die today, Damian, and the orator Huroi . It would be easy to take care of him if Kamiyan joined forces with Earl Chirita .

[Goddess’ Essence]
A liquid that contains the divine power of Goddess Rebecca . It is simple liquid to the general public, but it is a poison to those who possess black magic power and a miracle drug to those who serve the goddess .
When mixed with minerals, it will maximize the viscosity of the minerals and improve the mineral’s unique functions . In addition, it will inject divine power .
Weight: 0 . 1
‘Maximizing the viscosity? Does it mean like clay? This would make it easier to shape the item . ’
The secret of the spear combination was hidden here .
[Your understanding of Lifael’s Spear will increase by 40% . ]
[You have discovered the hidden secret of the item! A great achievement!]
[Insight has increased by 30 . ]
[Intelligence has increased by 30 . ]
[The Legendary Blacksmith’s Appraisal skill has improved . When you observe an item, the understanding of it will increase . ]
“Wow . Amazing . ”
Grid was delighted . He was pleased that he had uncovered the purpose of the Goddess’ Essence and the secret behind how the spear was joined . Now he also received bonuses .
‘Even more . ’
Grid turned to stare at Isabel . Her complexion had noticeably improved . It was the healing effect caused by the ripple that occurred when the Goddess’ Essence touched Lifael’s Spear .
‘First, save Isabel . ’
This was imperative . Isabel needed to be healthy to be separated from Lifael’s Spear .
‘Then I can proceed with the disassembly and assembly process . ’
The mission was clear . Grid rose from his spot . He handed the Goddess’ Essence to Isabel, who admired it .
“Drink . ”
Isabel refused, “I-I don’t want to . ”
“Why?”
“I can’t receive such a precious thing . ”
“Aren’t you at the crossroad of life and death? Just drink . ”
“I don’t want to . ”
“Why won’t you drink it? Just drink a drop . ”
There was 1 ml of Goddess’ Essence . The volume of one drop of water was 1/20ml, so it meant there were 20 drops . Isabel’s health improved because of just one drop resonating with Lifael’s Spear . Isabel could be healed if she drank one drop directly .
Grid was confident . But Isabel was stubborn .
“I appreciate the courtesy, but I don’t want to be beholden to you anymore . ”
“No, isn’t it just one drop?”
“I don’t want to . ”
The last five days . Isabel had many conversations with Grid while they were alone . In the process, she discovered something . Grid was already married . She couldn’t look at Grid in this way anymore . Isabel suppressed her feelings for Grid . In order to do so, she needed to draw a line . She didn’t want to receive Grid’s kindness anymore .
Grid shrugged as she bowed her head . “Isabel, aren’t you misunderstanding me?”
“…?”
“The reason I helped you is because it benefits me . It isn’t unconditional goodness . So don’t be mistaken and drink it right now . I’m busy . ”
Isabel was too embarrassed to refuse after Grid’s words .
“Come on . ”
“…”
Isabel accepted the small glass bottle from Grid . Then she hesitantly raised it to her mouth . She was concerned that she would accidentally drink several drops .
‘She has become very timid . ’
Originally, Isabel was a very willful girl . But she suffered thanks to Drevigo and Pascal . She was a tool, not a human, and was going to die… She had listened to those words for a while and couldn’t help changing . She truly was a poor kid .
Grid sighed and took the bottle from her . He placed a drop of liquid on his finger and raised it to Isabel’s mouth .
“Lick . ”
“Eh…”
Isabel’s face reddened . A man . Furthermore, the man wanted her to lick his finger . Her mind became complicated .
“Ah really, do I have to feed it to you directly?”
Grid shoved his finger into Isabel’s lips .
“Hah…!”
Combined with the title effects, Grid’s dexterity was over 2,300 . Isabel shivered as Grid’s finger entered his mouth . The sensations that she felt for the first time stirred her body and made her dizzy .
“Hah…!”
The thick and solid finger touched Isabel’s uvula…
Omitted .
After a moment .
“Hah… Hah…”
The drained Isabel collapsed on her bed . A warm blue light wrapped around her body . The Goddess’ Essence was immediately effective . Her platinum hair started to shine beautifully again, while her rough skin became transparent and smooth .
“Really pretty . Now if you can just recover your old figure . ”
Isabel’s faced turned redder at Grid’s compliment . She covered her face with both hands and gasped for breath, while Grid wondered .
‘Her status is odd . ’
Her health is recovering . But why did she look more tired?
Dok . Dok dok .
As Grid was feeling puzzled, a homing pigeon tapped on the window . It was a homing pigeon sent by Irene . Grid received the letter before taking Lifael’s Spear .
“You said there was a smithy here? I will go to the smithy, so you rest here . ”
“Yes…”
Isabel’s eyes were wet as she peeked at Grid through the gap in her fingers . It seemed like she was eager for something . Her eyes were enough to remind him of Irene in bed .
Gulp .
Grid involuntarily swallowed his dry saliva . It was to shake off his raunchy imagination .
‘It seems that the process of restoring her health is quite pleasant . ’
Grid thought and left the room .
“Nyang . ”
Noe was sunbathing on the windowsill in the corridor . Grid looked at the cat rolling around on his plump stomach like he was pathetic .
“Tsk tsk, I gave him a job, but he’s just sleeping . ”
Grid wasn’t aware that an assassin had come after him five days ago . It was a pity for Noe .
[White Transformation is activated . ]
[You don’t have any divine power . White Transformation has failed to be activated . Side effects will occur to your body . ]
[You have resisted . ]
The notification windows kept popping up .
Before heading to the smithy, Grid stopped in the garden and put down Lifael’s Spear . Then he sat on a bench and opened the letter .
[I can feel the movements of the child in my belly . Every day is mysterious and fun . I want to share this happiness with you soon . Dear Husband, what do you want your child to be interested in when they grow up?]
[Answer your wife’s question . This will affect the child’s abilities after they are born . ]
I want the child to be interested in martial arts .
I want the child to be interested in magic .
I want the child to be interested in learning .
I want the child to be interested in theology .
I want the child to be interested in techniques .
I just want the child to be healthy .
‘I don’t like number four . ’
Grid had a negative opinion of religion thanks to Drevigo and Pascal .
‘I don’t want number six either . The child might turn out like Jude . ’
Among the remaining options, the most attractive one was…
‘Techniques . ’
Grid thought that his child would become the estate’s labor force when they were older, and started to write his reply . He wrote that he loved Irene and then gave his answer .
‘I will go to her once I finish my work here . ’
Grid finished the letter and tied it to the leg of the homing pigeon .
Kwaduduk .
The homing pigeon flew towards the south west . It was the direction of Winston . As Grid was looking after the pigeon, someone approached .
‘This… perhaps?’
At that moment, something passed through Grid’s head .
‘Goddess’ Essence!’
The Goddess’ Essence was an unknown item dropped by Pope Drevigo . He had neglected it for over a year . Grid pulled it out of his inventory .
