Overgeared Chapter 483:


“Grid!”

“Huh?”

Shortly after making love to Irene and talking with Faker .  Grid was in Khan’s smithy when someone called out to him . It was Euphemina .

"What’s so important that you’re making a fuss?”

He faintly noticed .

‘Was there a positive result from Mumud’s Spellbook?’

But Grid wasn’t that expectant .  He would just feel disappointed if the effect of Mumud’s Spellbook was less than expected .  Grid was trying not to count the chickens before they hatched when Euphemina grabbed him . The small girl reminiscent of a squirrel fit comfortably against Grid’s wide chest .

Grid panicked at the abrupt embrace .

“H-Hey, what’s this all of a sudden?”

He might be a married man, but Grid was ignorant when it came to relationships .  With the exception of Irene, he still wasn’t used to touching women’s skin . He hurriedly pulled Euphemina away, only for her to hug him again .

“Thank you . . . ! Thank you very much!”

“ . . . Ah . ” She was happy enough to cry .  It made him feel glad .  "There’s no need to thank me . Congratulations . ”

Grid smiled and stroked Euphemina’s blonde hair . Euphemina thought his big and solid hand felt good . Caring yet dependable . If she had a brother, it would’ve felt like this .

“Heok?”

Grid was shocked as he held Euphemina in his arms and stroked her head . It was because he met the eyes of Lord, his son who was looking at him .

“S-Since when have you been watching?”

This was a scene that could be misunderstood! Lord replied innocently to Grid, who was feeling fear and guilt .  "I saw it when Father hugged the pretty sister . ”

"I didn’t hug her!” Grid was agitated and unknowingly raised his voice .  Then he pulled Euphemina away, approached Lord and whispered, "D-Don’t tell your mother about this . ”

Grid asked this for the sake of peace at home . Lord just laughed brightly .

"The beautiful sister is Father’s lover!”

“W-What . . . ”

A married man having a separate lover? As expected, Lord was the Casanova who already had 200 lovers .

“This is a big deal! Lord, this sister isn’t your father’s lover but my . . . ”

“Your first lover? Second lover? Father is cool!”

“ . . . Cool?”

A married man .  Lord misunderstood that his father was cheating and even said it was cool! Lord’s ideas about the opposite **** were so different that Grid already started to worry about his future daughter-in-law .

"I don’t know who will marry you . . . ” 

Yes, Lord’s future wife was pitiful . Grid had serious thoughts about his son .

 

***

 

"Wow, it’s beyond imagination . ”

Khan’s smithy .

Grid was surprised when Euphemina shared the quest information she received .  A growth class starting at the legendary rating? Combining Pagma’s blacksmithing techniques and Braham’s magic only gave Grid a glimpse of the myth rating . Meanwhile, Mumud’s Successor alone could reach the myth rating .

In other words .

'Mumud was a genius at the level of Lord?’

He was amazing enough that Braham felt afraid and vigilant . Braham’s soul spoke while Grid was feeling admiration .

‘There’s nothing to be surprised about . If Mumud had lived a little longer, he would’ve transcended Muller . ’

" . . . ”

Sword Saint Muller who sealed the great demons . Mumud was someone who could reach that level .

‘Truly great . ’

His colleague would be able to obtain the best class .  Grid was pleased rather than jealous . Braham scoffed .

‘You have no guts . ’

‘It is better than being narrow-minded enough to feel jealous of a colleague . ’

In the first place, having stronger colleagues would unconditionally benefit Grid .

‘Isn’t it good if I have strong people to count on?’

‘Nonsense . ’

Even if the woman here became Mumud’s successor, would she be stronger than Grid? Braham swallowed down these words . He was too narrow-minded to admit Grid’s infinite potential .

“Congratulations, Euphemina . ”

Euphemina showed a shy smile at Grid’s sincere words .

"I want to be more helpful to you in the future . ”

‘Che, playing around . ’

Braham was annoyed and started taunting Grid .

‘There’s one think you are overlooking . How strong is Baal’s Contractor? Even Sword Saint Muller wasn’t able to match Pagma when he obtained Baal’s powers . You should know . It is close to impossible to fight Baal’s Contractor and free Mumud’s soul . ’

‘You’re speaking too much . ’

Baal’s Contractor .  A person who formed a contract with the 1st great demon, Baal . According to what he learned in the Behen Archipelago, Baal’s former contractor was Pagma .

‘Pagma is dead . . . Then who is Baal’s Contractor?’

Braham kindly answered Grid’s question .

‘Your subordinates know him . ’

"Eh?”

Grid was deep in thought when he suddenly let out a bewildered sound .  

"What's wrong?" The puzzled Euphemina asked Grid .

"Do you know who Baal’s Contractor is?”

"No, I don’t know . This is the first time I’ve heard of Baal’s Contractor . ”

“Hrmm . ”

Information about **** and great demons was an unfamiliar area for most players . Euphemina didn’t know . In the end, Grid asked in the guild chat window .

{Do you know who Baal’s Contractor is?}

{I don’t know . }

{What is that?}

Nobody knew . Grid frowned and complained to Braham .

‘The kids don’t know . You kindly provided an answer, but it was just a lie?’

‘Change the question . Ask them about the necromancer they met in the vampire city . ’

‘Vampire city?’

Lauel, Jishuka, Pon, Regas, Vantner, etc .  Grid was unaware that a few people met Agnus by chance in the vampire city . He dubiously asked again .

{Is there anybody who saw a necromancer in the vampire cities?}

{ . . . }

Lauel and Jishuka panicked after realizing that the person Grid was looking for was Agnus .  They were all hoping that Grid would never encounter Agnus . Grid watched the quiet chat window and asked again .

{Did no one see a necromancer?}

{Master, where are you?}

Then Lauel came forward . He obtained Grid’s location and ran to the smithy .

“Why are you asking about Baal’s Contractor?”

Grid looked at her and Euphemina shared the quest information with Lauel . Lauel read the contents and felt admiration .

“Unbelievable . . . ! A growth class starting at the legendary rating . . . !”

But .

‘In order to clear this quest, she must be hostile to Agnus . . . Is this fate’s joke? My bad karma in a previous life is affecting Grid and my colleagues . . . Everything was so good . . . ’

Lauel’s face became shadowed .

Grid asked again, "Why are you worried rather than pleased? Who is Baal’s Contractor that you’re so afraid?”

Sigh .

Lauel took a deep breath and spoke the name that he never wanted to mention .

“It’s . . . Agnus . ”

“Agnus?”

Grid was familiar with the name .  A high ranker in the 5th position after Kraugel and Yura vacated their spots .  A person who obtained an epic class early on along with Katz and Euphemina .  Yura had said this during her black magician days . He was much stronger than her .

"It’s definitely big . ”

Grid could easily guess that Agnus was strong .  He was one of the ‘three epic classes’ along with Euphemina and Katz, and Braham had just called his class the ‘strongest . ’ Yes, Agnus would certainly be strong . Maybe he was in the same class as Kraugel .

“But that isn’t enough to cause fear . The strength of Overgeared isn’t at a level that individual players could go against . Find him and sweep him away . ”

Attacking an innocent player for a quest? It was a morally wrong idea .  Grid knew that .  But Grid didn’t hesitate .  He couldn’t always be just when building up his strength to become a king .  He would make countless new enemies . He already anticipated this and was prepared .

Lauel was thrilled by Grid’s determination, but tried to calm him down .

“It’s too early to be hostile with Agnus .  First of all, Agnus isn’t an individual . Numerous players are fascinated by his insanity . In fact, there are rumors that several small and medium sized guilds have pledged allegiance to him . We need to be ready for war if we have a conflict with him, but we can’t afford that . ”

Aslan of the Eternal Kingdom had the Saharan Empire behind him . Aslan had blamed Grid for Prince Ren’s death and then kept Overgeared in check .

"We will become the target of the Eternal Kingdom if we go to war . ”

“Hrmm . . . Aren’t you too passive? First of all, our power will increase dramatically if Euphemina becomes Mumud’s Descendant . If we raise Euphemina quickly, we can destroy Eternal’s forces and Agnus at the same time . ”

"Your basic premise is wrong from the beginning . Agnus is strong .  Victory isn’t guaranteed . What if a hostile relationship is formed, only for Euphemina’s class change to fail? Our territories will become a sea of fire . ”

Grid couldn’t accept it .

"What are you saying? Can’t we easily kill one player if the elites of Overgeared act together?”

“Agnus has already transcended the category of a player . ”

When they encountered him in the vampire city, Agnus was accompanied by a powerful lich and death knight . He didn’t participate in any external activities like the National Competition and only focused on growing, making him much stronger than before .

“Please excuse me, but just looking at pure combat capabilities, he is several times higher than Master . And we can’t afford to send all the main forces of Overgeared . The domestic affairs of our territories became worse when we went to Siren, so everyone is doing their duties . Above all, you have to level up if you don’t want to be left behind . ”

" . . . ”

Grid frowned . He trusted Lauel’s advice more than anyone, but . . .

‘He is that much stronger than me?’

Braham also said it was impossible to fight Baal’s Contractor to liberate Mumud’s soul, but Braham was Braham and Lauel was Lauel .  Lauel didn’t know all the facts .  It was shocking . His ego was bruised .  Lauel didn’t mind Grid’s shaking .

“Agnus is a **** . Literally . It isn’t good to go against him . We will suffer for the rest of our lives . To be honest, I was hoping that the Overgeared Guild would never become mixed up with him . . . ” But it couldn’t be helped now that Euphemina had received such a great quest . Agnus was an enemy that needed to be taken down . "First of all, let’s clean up our affairs in the Eternal Kingdom and refine our power . Then I will make a detailed plan . ”

“ . . . I understand . ”

Grid trusted Lauel . That’s why he made Lauel the lord’s proxy . He didn’t refuse Lauel’s decisions or advice unless it was a special case .

"I will get used to the new magic and strengthen myself . In the end, it’s my quest . I will become strong enough to solve the problem . ”

Once the conversation was over, Euphemina rose from her spot .  She expressed her will not to be indebted to her colleagues, bowed in farewell, and headed to the magic tower . It was to systematically learn and understand the magic knowledge she was given . Lauel also left in order to do his work .

Grid was left alone in front of a furnace . For him, who had been only aiming at Kraugel, Agnus’ emergence was a positive thing .

"Several times stronger than me . . . ? Someone who has transcended the category of a player?”

He would deny it .  Grid pulled out the **** mineral adamantium .  He obtained it as reward for the gold medals he won in the National Competition .  What could he create to become stronger? He’d already been thinking about it, but his concentration at this moment was the best . He was confident that he could create greater items .
