Overgeared Chapter 356:
Chapter 356
What was the terrible plan that the Japanese right wing forces set up?
“We will kill Damian . Lets show him the taste of fear and despair, so that he wont talk about Grid again .
“We will tame him and use him to thoroughly strengthen the forces of the Japanese guilds .
Lets support the rankers who will participate in the next National Competition . If there are 10 Rebecca healers per ranker, who would be able to beat them in the National Competition?
Thats right . In the name of patriotism, they were trying to use force to dominate someone elses life . It was a complete human rights violation and a terrifying idea .
I want to step on Grid .
That thought was on their minds . The right wing Japanese forces had no intention of touching Grid . The Seven Guilds didnt have the power to threaten Grid, so they couldnt even if they wanted to .
They were weak to the strong, and strong against the weak . Just like the mass protests against Korean and the small anti-Chinese protests, the Japanese extreme right wing forces chose the path they believed was wise .
Grid was the fundamental problem, but they turned away from him and aimed the arrow at the relatively weaker Damian . But they overlooked one thing .
Damian was never weak . He mightve been acting as an informal ranker for nearly a year, but he was originally a high ranker . He was also the first person to obtain a unique hidden class . Now he had become the pope .
He was definitely one of the strongest people . However, when compared to Grid…
***
Lauel was always interested in international affairs .
Collecting a wide range of information while playing Satisfy was a basic skill, and knowing the issues of each country was a great help when it came to gathering information .
Eh?
It was early in the morning . Prior to accessing Satisfy, Lauel was looking at the overseas topics and was baffled when looking at the news from Japan .
[Pope Damian! He announced that he would build a Goddess Rebecca temple in Reidan!!]
This person…!
Lauels expression twisted . Didnt he advise him several times that the cooperative relationship between Overgeared and the Rebecca Church should proceed discreetly?
In fact, during Damians campaign, Grid and Huroi had acted as carefully as possible . They tried to help Damians campaign while avoiding peoples attention . On the day of the pope speech candidates, they accidentally appeared on air, but there was no doubt that they were trying their best .
Now Damian was turning all their hard work to naught .
“Stop worshipping Grid!
The more influential religions were, the less biased they should be . They had to maintain a neutral position and treat everyone equally . It was because certain powers might collude with others to weaken the power of the religion .
Lauel immediately connected to Satisfy and whispered to Damian .
–Why are you ignoring my advice? How many times have I told you that you must keep your help towards Grid and Overgeared a secret?
–It couldnt be helped . Its hard to maintain a neutral position forever because Im receiving too much pressure inside and outside of the game . I had to make a choice .
–Inside the game? Apart from the Japanese extreme right wing groups, there is another force putting pressure on you?
–Yes, the Saharan Empire is trying to take the Rebecca Church as a state religion .
Lauels expression stiffened .
The Saharan Empire, based on a nationalist ideology, was trying to make the largest religion on the continent its state religion? The aftermath would be enormous . It would be prohibited to serve Goddess Rebecca unless they were part of the empire .
The Saharan Empire was already the greatest power . There were a total of 17 nations on the continent, but it wasnt an exaggeration to say that all of them were under the rule of the empire .
The Saharan Empire…
They grew arrogant, as there were no enemies in the world .
If I was going to hand the Rebecca Church over to you, I wouldnt have made Damian the pope .
The cynical Lauel laid out a map of the West Continent . Then he examined several kingdoms that bordered the Saharan Empire .
***
Thorny Vine Forest .
It was one of the roads connected Reidan and the Saharan Empire, and was the place where the legend of Faker, the **** of death, began .
Isnt this where the Ice Flower Guild was wiped out by Faker?
Do you believe that ridiculous rumour? The Ice Flower Guild is one of the strongest guilds, and part of the Seven Guilds . How could they be wiped out by Faker?
“That’s right . Bondre alone would be able to take care of Faker .
Grid just spread an exaggerated rumor in order to increase the reputation of Overgeared . Its just a bluff .
Japans leading right wing guild, the 180 players of Sakura, were hiding in the forest . Their goal was Damian . Their first task was to kidnap and detain the traitor who was heading for Reidan .
“We can wait around here . Well make that traitor pay for betraying his country .
Building a temple in Grids **** territory, he must be a Zainichi .
“Whoa whoa, suppress your killing intent . We cant kill the person who will become our puppet .
The Sakura Guild members gritted their teeth . After a while, they witnessed a long procession entering the forest .
“Happy-chan~ isnt it difficult? Do you want me to do it?
“Your Holiness, please maintain your dignity .
“I dont care about my dignity if it means ignoring girls who are having a hard time .
“…
Now~ Happy-chan, come on . Yes? Are you shy? You are completely cute . I want to pat your head like this .
“Kyaaak! Your Holiness! Dont use too much strength!
The Sakura Guild members frowned . Pope Damian was part of a procession with 200 young girls? They heard he was an otaku, but they didnt know he was a lo*ic*n as well .
“Hes enjoying this world properly after becoming pope .
“Bringing his harem girls on a journey…!
“Is he the emperor of the Lorije Empire?
Kkirik!
Yoshimura, the master of the Sakura Guild, pulled back his bowstring . The bow of the person who was once the 2nd ranked archer was aimed exactly at Damians heart .
First, eat this!
Piing .
A quick shot was fired . Yoshimura mightve fallen to 4th place on the archer rankings, but it was rare to see someone with such a good bow skill in the world . The arrow quickly broke through the gap in thorns and precisely struck at Damians heart…
…This is?
Yoshimura was astonished . The 200 beautiful girls in white clothing who were following Damian . The young girls aged from 10 to 15 years old instantly brought out spears, swords, and shields, and blocked Yoshimuras arrow?
Reading the arrows position and even blocking it? An arrow shot by Yoshimura?
These kids are freely swinging a blade bigger than their bodies?
The speed at which they take their formation is like well-trained soldiers!
The Sakura Guild members couldnt believe the sight that was happening in front of them . They wondered how little girls could show such great talents and agile movements . It didnt make sense .
“…
Deep in the quiet forest .
The Sakura members mouths gaped open as they hid, while the beautiful girls looked around the forest while holding weapons . Damian stood in the center and gave a meaningful smile .
“Trying to fight the Rebeccas Daughters candidates, how foolish .
The eyes of the Sakura Guild members shook .
‘Rebeccas Daughters candidates!
The Rebecca Church only chose girls who were born with divine ability and talents, secretly training them to be the strongest paladins who could handle the three divine artifacts . And the name of the strongest paladins were called Rebeccas Daughters .
These girls were the candidates?
‘Shit! Arent the candidates secretly fostered in a secret temple of the Rebecca Church? Why are they accompanying Damian?
These young girls are unbelievably strong…!’
The confused Sakura Guild members were about to turn back after realizing the situation, when…
Goddess Eyes .
Pahat!
A golden light concentrated on Damians fingertips and spread out all over the place .
[The pope receives Goddess Rebeccas blessing . ]
[Goddess Rebecca detects all living things within 300m of you . Undead and the demonkin will receive great damage . ]
There are exactly 180 people .
Damians eyes sank coldly .
I dont want blood covering the fine hands of these girls . I will do it myself . Goddess Blessing .
Pahat!
Pa pa pa pa pak!
It was truly spectacular . More than 200 green lights streaked through the dark forest, falling from the sky and hitting Damian and the girls .
[The Goddess Blessing increases you and your party members stats by 10% for 5 minutes, negates one strike and will create a shield that absorbs 8,000 damage . ]
Ack…!
The Sakura Guild watching Damian frowned . It was due to the intensity of the green light that wrapped around Damian and the girls that made them shine . Damian gazed towards the location where most of them were gathered .
Goddess Wrath .
Chiiiiiing!
Two huge magic circles, around 3m in diameter, were quickly created behind Damians back .
Whats that?
The Sakura Guild couldnt get a sense of Damians actions . It was natural . Among the users, only Grid would recognize the popes skills .
Die .
Damians declaration was a signal .
Kuwaaaaaang!
It was like watching an anti-tank gun . Two huge rays were fired from the magic circles created behind Damians back, moving in a straight line that swallowed everything in its path . Half of the forest was destroyed .
[Party member Gigs has suffered 14,100 damage!]
[Party member Kinji has suffered 15,500 damage!]
[Party member Rokman has suffered 14,990 damage!]
[Party member Yoshimura has suffered 12,100 damage!]
[Party member Orochi has suffered 9,900 damage!]
[Party member…]
[Party…]
…
…
This is ridiculous!
The faces of the Sakura Guild members turned white . It only took a few seconds to cast a large area skill that inflicted huge damage to dozens of guild members that were at least level 210? This was a complete scam!
How…? How can a user be so strong? This is ridiculous! Its unbalanced!
Damian just laughed .
“The popes tenure is limited to one year, so shouldnt I be able to exercise this much power? Your level is just too low .
Eek! We would be able to win if you werent the pope!
“I know that Im the pope, but youre stupid .
I didnt know a pope was so strong! Shit! Damn! If you were weak, we would be able to easily take care of you!
Truly unscrupulous guys . Damian sighed and pulled out a sword . Then he threw off his white clothing, revealing golden armor . I love Isabel-chan, Rin-chan and Luna-chan was beautifully engraved on the armor .
“I dont need to use the popes power on you .
Teong!
Damian rushed towards Yoshimura, the master of the Sakura Guild . Yoshimura calmly fired an arrow, despite being surprised at the paladins speed . It was a strong blow, but the arrow was offset by the shield of light around Damian .
“Its just this much .
…!
Seokeok!
Great skills .
Damian showed a high level of swordsmanship that Yoshimura couldnt escape with his agility, leaving him wounded . It was far beyond the range that the Yoshimura Guild estimated for the first unique hidden class and the pope .
Damian might look silly because he was an otaku, but his ability was actually really great . However, when compared with Grid…
OG:
Current schedule: 20 chapters a week .
Chapter 357
All paladins had similar swordsmanship .
Every time they wielded the sword, they poured their whole heart into it, making it close to the concept of breaking the target . Due to this, the orbit was simple, and when the attack failed, it inevitably revealed a gap .
Yoshimura had a lot of experience and was aware of this fact . How could an archer with high agility struggle against a paladin? It was like that until now . For Yoshimura, paladins were merely solid targets . They wouldnt easily fall down, but they werent a threat .
Damian was the exception .
Seokeok!
Kuak!
Every time Damian wielded his sword, Yoshimuras body became covered in wounds . Yoshimura couldnt avoid his attacks .
You . . ! How can a paladin use such splendid swordsmanship? Is it because youre a hidden class and not a paladin anymore?
It was an incorrect guess . As Goddess’ Agent, Damian was still a paladin . However, it was a unique class . He was able to learn a higher Sword Mastery skill than general paladins, and that was the key to his high quality swordsmanship . Furthermore, Damian…
Im a paladin . A paladin with the strongest master .
Thats right .
Damian was a person taught by Piaro . He grew by leaps and bounds when he was farming under Piaro . It was thanks to a clear enlightenment, as well as the quest reward for Hidden Quest Fun and Exciting Training!
“Supreme Swordsmanship might be slower than other swordsmanship techniques and less varied, but it is the most excellent one .
“Why?”
“A good sword might be controlled with strength, while an excellent sword is controlled by the mind and heart . It can accelerate according to the speed of the mind, while making many changes like the heart .
“…
As a paladin, Damian couldnt understand it . If this was reality, Damian wouldnt have felt anything from Piaros teachings . But a game was different from reality .
[You have received the teachings of the sword by Piaro and awakened!]
[Accuracy is increased by 30% when wearing sword type weapons . This effect is applied separately from the Sword Mastery skill . ]
In other words, it was an additional reward for the hidden quest . Damian was well behaved and built up a great deal of favor during the hidden quest, and was able to gain great strength thanks to it .
The strongest teacher? What are you saying?
Theres no need for you to know .
Puok!
Kuaaack!
Master!
Yoshimura was deeply stabbed in the side and eventually sat down . Orochi saw this and ran over aggressively .
How dare you do this to Master!?
The strongest person in the Sakura Guild, Orochi . He was the master of twin swordsmanship . He was particularly strong in PvP as a high ranking player, capable of dazzling the target with his swordsmanship .
But he wasnt Damians opponent . Damian scoffed as he easily defended against Orochis sword with a shield .
Even Reidans farmer who likes potatoes will yawn against you .
Reidans farmer who likes potatoes?
Who is that?
Did he mean the legendary farmer who caused an uproar in the world by smashing Hurent and 2,000 troops in a short amount of time? Orochi felt doubts .
Chaaeng!
Damian pushed at Orochi using his shield and then stabbed his chest .
You arent my opponent . You should at least be a temporary farmer in order to deal with me . Oh, I am still lacking compared to him .
Temporary farmer?
Who is that?
“I also dont know .
…?
From then on, a one-sided massacre took place . The Sakura Guild lacked a third advancement class, so they were totally overwhelmed by Damian, who was over level 300 . Damians basic defense was high and his healing was fraudulent, so it was difficult to kill him .
It wasnt an exaggeration to say that Damians endurance in battle was the best . The Rebeccas Daughters candidates were also a problem . The Sakura Guilds hands and feet were **** because they thoroughly assisted Damian .
Shit! Shitt!
Once their colleagues started dying, the Sakura Guild members became angry .
Yoshimura cried out, Why? Why are you helping a Korean person!? (TL: Once again, a Japanese word meaning Korean person that has negative connotations)
“Korean person? What an old-fashioned and racist remark . You should apologize .
What? You… Keook…!
Damian no longer continued the conversation . He knew that the opponents werent worth talking with, so he just silently killed the Sakura Guild members .
On this day .
The Sakura Guild suffered big damage . All the guild members died and lost experience and some items . It was a huge loss, making them unable to do anything big for a while .
***
Grid became certain of one thing after the spar with Kraugel . His goal of becoming the best wasnt a fanciful dream .
Geniuses… No, its true that my talent is poo compared to the general public .
He didnt deny it, since it was a reality hed realized since his childhood .
But .
Grid had a weapon that no one else had . It was the power of items . It wasnt the usual items, but the items which had collapsed the sky above the sky .
First, polish the weapons .
In order to regular users to obtain items, they had to devote themselves to raids or hunting . However, Grid was different . As a legendary blacksmith, he was able to produce ideal items directly .
But it isnt easy .
There was a limit on the performance of items . It was virtually impossible to make a 10 billion damage weapon that could kill a target unconditionally, or to be invincible by making a 10 billion defense armor .
Its about creating ideal items within the limits .
It couldnt be done by staying in the smithy . Grid knew from experience . Then what did he have to do?
“…
Reidans smithy .
Grid was locked in thought for a while .
Expand my insights .
Would it be possible to build up his current skills if he was alone like Kraugel, even if he was a genius? It wasnt possible . Through repeated adventures, meeting new people and enemies, and learning and growing through them .
I should do that .
There was a place that Grid decided to go .
Behen Archipelago .
It was made up of 66 islands . Even Kraugel had only managed to reach the 30th island . By challenging it and experiencing new things, he could overcome his shortcomings and design more ideal items .
The determined Grid moved to the castle .
***
“Abu! Abuuuu!
“Welcome back . ”
Irene and Lord welcomed Grid . Irenes affectionate gaze and Lords envious gaze were directed towards Grid .
I want to make them happy for the rest of my life .
Satisfy was different from reality . Enemies were everywhere and his precious people could be in danger at any time . In order to completely protect them, Grid wanted to become stronger . Grid summoned Lauel .
“Did you call?”
Lauel, who was buried in a pile of papers in his office, came running wildly . Grid was thankful for his diligence, despite always being tired .
Im incompetent, so youre experiencing a lot of hardships by taking on everything .
“I wanted to do it . You dont have to worry . Continue to rely on me .
“Yes, I will believe in you and leave for a while .
…Huh?
Im planning to go to a place called the Behen Archipelago . Please look after Reidan and my family while Im not here . Ah, can I also take some of the potions produced by the alchemy facility?
Huh? Ah yes, of course .
Lauel was confused, but he didnt ponder over Grids choices and actions . Grid had become more cautious since the spar with Kraugel, so Lauel thoroughly trusted him . After that, Grid made love to Irene, said goodbye to Lord, and left for the Media Kingdom .
Aba! Abubu! Abu!
Lord held the Babys Wooden Sword in his hands and cried out as he looked at his fathers distant back . But there was no one who could understand the babys words . People thought that Lord was just saying goodbye to his father .
However, the truth was different .
A few days later . After some suffering, the pope procession succeeded in crossing the desert and finally arrived in Reidan . Damians heart was overflowing with joy . He was happy because he could see Grid and Piaro, who had helped him a lot without blaming him for being an otaku .
But the touching reunion didnt occur easily .
“A murderer like you cant enter the city!
The soldiers guarding Reidans gates blocked Damians way . It was unavoidable . Damians name was bright red from killing the Sakura Guild .
“No, Im the pope .
“Nonsense!
Why would the pope commit such butchery?
A murderer is trying to lie! Disgraceful person! Get out now!
“…
After a while, Damian was able to enter Reidan due to Lauel . However, Grid wasnt there anymore .
***
There were countless players hoping to cross to the East Continent .
There were those who wanted to get ahead of everyone else, those who aimed for a reversal in a new land, etc . All types of people tried to reach the East Continent . The wealthy even invested an astronomical amount of money .
However, most of them failed to reach the East Continent . They became stuck at the Dead Sea . Only a very small number of people succeeded . Out of two billion users, less than 1,000 succeeded in figuring out how to get to the East Continent .
They were the people who grasped the existence of Sage Sticks by clearing a lot of linked quests . However, fewer than 10 people managed to cross to the Eastern Continent .
Behen Archipelago . It was a difficult task to break through the 66 islands, which were like an instant dungeon .
Sigh .
After a long journey, Grid arrived at the Behen Archipelago and took a deep breath to calm himself down . Was he nervous because he remembered Kraugel saying that even famous high rankers had been eliminated at the first island?
No . Grid was actually filled with confidence . The reason for his deep breathing was to stop himself from becoming angry .
“Now, shall I get started?”
Grid readied himself and started to cross the bridge between the mainland and the first island . A notification window appeared at the end of the bridge .
[Do you want to enter the instant dungeon Behen Archipelago?]
Yes .
[The Behen Archipelago is limited to one person and the escape method is unknown . Death is highly likely . Do you still want to enter?]
Go .
At the same time . Grids body was sucked into the gate .
***
Its been a long time since there was a challenger .
The hidden sage, Sticks . He gazed into his magic ball and saw a man with black hair . Sticks examined him closely and didnt feel inspired .
Anyway, he will be eliminated .
The first island dropped the challengers stamina to the limit . Faced with the terrible limit, they would cause their own self-destruction . Over the past few decades, most challengers lost their lives at the first island .
Sticks was sure that the same thing would happened to this black-haired man . However, the result was different from what he expected .
Heok! N-No, how…?
Sticks was shocked . He looked like he saw a ghost . It was natural . The first island . The goal was to take advantage of the island terrain to hold out against the monsters that appeared infinitely for 20 minutes .
They should reduce the area that the monsters could attack from by moving to the highlands or into narrow places . It was a common strategy, but most people didnt survive for 20 minutes even if they knew the strategy . There was a limit to their stamina .
However, the man with black hair used an unconventional method . He cleared the first island easily without using a strategy . After summoning four golden hands that each held a weapon, he waited for the monsters to appear and killed them . It was a method that destroyed common sense, making even the sage Sticks embarrassed .
OG:
Current schedule: 20 chapters a week .
Chapter 358
[You have entered the first island . ]
The first island was much smaller than Grid expected . The area of one tenth of Yeouido Park . The structure was very simple . There were several rock piles, as well as white sand .
There isnt anything?
Grid was looking around with confusion when he saw the notification window that popped up .
[A mission will be created . ]
[First Island]
Survive for 20 minutes!
First Clear Reward: 1 Challenger Point .
[The mission will start 30 minutes from now . ]
Survive?
This place was Behen Archipelago, where even high ranking users died . What terrible things would happen in the future that he needed to survive? Ordinary people would be extremely nervous and uneasy .
But Grid was the person who broke the sky above the sky . This created a high pride, and he wasnt easily upset . Grid was only focused on the compensation .
Challenger points? Is it something that only applies to certain areas?
Reputation was used as the currency in the Reputation Store .
What can I buy with this?
Grid was full of anticipation . He used Brahams Boots and looked over the island from the sky . It was to grasp the situation before the mission started .
Magic circle?
There were four large magic circles engraved on the island . What were they for? Another person wouldve been able to grasp it more quickly, but Grid just had the intelligence of an ordinary person and only came up with an idea after a while .
Are they places where monsters are created?’
Since it stated that he had to survive for 20 minutes, it meant he would be threatened for 20 minutes . Grid guessed that monsters would pour out of the circles as soon as the survival mission started .
But he wasnt fully convinced . It was to leave his mind flexible to cope with unexpected situations .
I have to prepare .
There was a few minutes left until the start of the mission .
In order to secure the minimum of safety and prevent himself from wasting mana, Grid landed on some rocks . He summoned the God Hands and gave them the strongest weapons, before moving them to the different magic circles .
“Attack as soon as the enemy appears .
The four God Hands swung their weapons as if in reply to Grids command . After a while .
[The first islands mission has begun . ]
Pak!
Pa pa pa pat!
A smile appeared on Grids face . He was delighted that his expectations were correct . Thats right . Monsters were created at the four magic circles .
Kieeeek!
Kyaack!
The monsters that emerged from the magic circles were the creepy sellobu .
It has been a long time .
Sellobus . They were a spider type monster with low defense and stamina, but high attack power and speed . The sellobus were so fast that humans couldnt counter . They were ghastly monsters that slaughtered players all over the continent .
Only level 200 .
Now Grid could destroy the sellobus in one blow . But the God Hands were different . The God Hands only had 30% of Grids stats . In addition, his Sword Mastery was only beginner level 7 . They had the most advanced weapons, but they couldnt stop the sellobus instantly . It took them an average of three to four hits .
Too slow .
The speed at which the sellobus were created was much faster than the speed of the God Hands hunting . Their numbers started to get out of control and they shot poisonous liquid at Grid .
Kuk .
As expected of an offensive monster, their damage was flawless . The cumulative damage was a burden on Grid .
‘Its a waste of experience, but it cant be helped .
Grid used Pagmas Swordsmanship, Transcended Link, to kill the sellobus around him, then pulled out his next method .
Noe, Randy .
“Snack time! Nyang!
“Randy, Grid okay .
Noe and Randy, who was in the form of Grid, appeared . Grid ordered the two of them .
Support the God Hands in the east and north . I will support the hands in the south and west .
Nyang!
Noe replied energetically, moving his wings and heading east . On the other hand, Randy didnt know where the north was . However, he soon moved quickly when Grid pointed . Thanks to them joining, the east and north God Hands could quickly kill the sellobus .
Grid also wasn’t idle . He reached out his hands to the left and right and fired the Magic Missiles, assisting the God Hands that were suffering under the sellobus . From this point on, numerous notification windows appeared in front of Grid .
[You have killed a sellobus . ]
[612,000 experience has been distributed . ]
[Your pet Noe has acquired 204,000 experience . ]
[Your pet Randy has acquired 204,000 experience . ]
[You have killed a sellobus . ]
[612,000 experience has been distributed . ]
[Your pet Noe…]
…
…
Wow, this is a big hit . ”
Grid was astonished . He killed almost four sellobus per second, so the speed of his experience gain was beyond imagination . It was around 10 times faster than the current best hunting ground, the vampire cities .
This wasnt the end .
[The Sword Mastery of God Hand has increased from beginner level 7 to beginner level 8 . ]
[The Sword Mastery of God Hand has increased from beginner level 8 to beginner level 9 . ]
The Sword Mastery of the God Hands grew at a tremendous rate as they wielded their swords without a break . Grid trembled with something that was beyond joy . As the Sword Mastery level of the God Hands increased, the speed of the sellobu hunting became even faster, causing an equivalent rise in the speed of acquiring experience . Now it was 20 times faster than when hunting in the vampire cities .
[You have killed a sellobus . ]
[You have killed a sellobus . ]
[You have killed…]
…
…
[The level of Noe has risen!]
[The level of Randy has risen!]
[The level of Randy has risen!]
Yes! This is honey! Amazing!
Grid was so excited that he couldnt help cheering . The first island that frustrated so many challengers…
The land of despair turned into a great hunting ground for Grid .
***
[You have cleared the first island . ]
[You have acquired 1 challenger point for the mission success . ]
[Challenger Point]
Can be used to purchase items from the Challenger Store that exists somewhere in the Behen Archipelago .
Ah, too bad .
Grid ended up hunting for 20 minutes . He gained an extra 15% experience .
It would be nice if the mission was surviving for 20 days instead of 20 minutes… Or maybe 20 hours…
Grids heart wanted to take advantage of the first island . He wanted to repeatedly clear the first island so that he could catch up with Kraugels level . But it was a stupid idea . There were still a lot of islands . Wasnt it likely to have a better hunting ground later on?
‘In the first place, I need to escape from here before I can do it again, and I dont know how to escape .
Grid hadnt yet fully grasped the system of the Behen Archipelago . He needed to be more careful . He disciplined his heart and stepped onto the newly created bridge . The gate to the second island was located at the end of the bridge .
***
[You have entered the second island . ]
This island was at least 10 times larger than the first island . The scenery was also different . There was the sound of waterfalls from the lush jungle, as well as a small mountain at each end of the island . There were also lakes and caves .
Huh? Treasure chest?
Grid looked around and noticed one place . It was a towering rock wall just behind the starting point . There were 10 golden boxes shining brightly .
What is this… No, is it a trap?
Grid didnt act carelessly, unlike the past, and notification windows appeared in front of him .
[A mission will be created . ]
[Second Island]
Open the locked treasure chests!
There are 10 keys hidden throughout the island .
It is important to find as many keys as possible, as each box has a different key .
Time Limit: 3 days .
First Clear Reward: Every time you open a box, 1 Challenger Point .
* If two or more boxes cant be opened within the specified time, you will be expelled from the island .
[The mission will start 30 minutes from now . ]
“This time, it involves searching .
It seemed to be very difficult to find the keys if the time limit was three days .
Of course its hard .
The island was big and the terrain was too complicated . There were bushes, lakes, waterfalls, caves, and cliffs all over . He had to find a small key in this place? It was no different from finding a needle in the desert .
But Grid didnt show any signs of being troubled . He still had a bright smile on his face .
***
The second island had the most dropouts .
Sticks observed Grid through the magic ball . He didnt have much expectations .
It was true that the black-haired man broke through the first island in an extraordinary manner, but the difficulty of the second island was extremely high when compared with the first island .
“In order to break through the second island, you need the intelligence to bring together the different clues observed, without missing a single one . But…
The black haired man was sitting in front of the magic circle and just resting during the 30 minute preparation time before the mission began . He was wasting this time and not even looking for clues, so it was like the black haired man had already given up .
“I dont have much expectation for him .
Sticks was surprised when he looked at the magic ball . Why was he so surprised?
Keok…! Keok keok… . N-No! Dont tell me that person is a legendary thief?
Sticks was bound to think so . The treasure boxes that couldnt be opened unless it was the right key, the black haired man opened them with one key in his possession . It was a dexterity that could only be admired .
“T-The second island in just 10 seconds…!?
It was an unprecedented record . It was the moment when Sticks, who was called a sage because he was wiser than anyone else, became a fool . On this day, Grid reached the ninth island . It also meant that Sticks was surprised a total of nine times .
