Overgeared Chapter 539:
Chapter 539
Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Wave, had the lowest attack power among all the techniques . The level 6 Wave only dealt 230% of his attack power . It was a little over double his flat damage . It was incredibly low for a legendary rated skill . It was occasionally a powerful skill considering it was a ‘wide area’ attack . However, this lost its utility after the skills of the third advancement classes were released .
But it still had unique strengths . All targets hit by it would be affected by a slowing effect . In other words, it was a wide area CC skill, and it was natural for the attack power to be low . This was if the user was an ordinary player .
“Wave . ”
The white light that was emitted only by a +9 enhanced weapon . A powerful light wave of energy was shot from Failure . The bodies of the armored needles chasing after the Red Phoenix members were damaged .
Ku kwa kwa kwa kwa! Ku kwa kwa kwa kwa!
The explosion shook the dungeon . Blood spurted from the armored needles while parts of the dungeon failed to survive the aftermath of the shock .
[You have dealt 15,310 damage to the target . The target’s speed will decrease by 63% . ]
[You have dealt 16,004 damage to the target . The target’s . . . ]
[You have dealt . . . ]
. . .
. . .
“Y-You . . . ?”
Sua stared at Grid with a stunned expression . A blacksmith using swordsmanship? It was also extremely strong swordsmanship!
“What is your identity?”
Sua was confused . Grid placed extra strength in the arm wrapped around her waist . It was to protect her from the blood that was like lava that came from the armored needles . But it wasn’t easy . It was impossible to avoid all the blood with Grid’s control abilities .
'The blood dissolves anything it touches . ’
It was impossible for a person to be safe . In the end, Grid called for the best assistance .
“God Hands!”
Pa pa pa pat!
Four golden hands appeared immediately in response to Grid’s call and moved quickly . They protected Sua and Grid as much as possible from the blood .
Chiiiik!
The God Hands burned fiercely when touched by the armored needles’ blood . Sua’s surprise became larger .
‘They are fine despite being hit by the armored needles’ blood and can move by themselves?’
The East Continent people had wide imaginations . In the treasure houses of the various kingdoms, there were many things outside common sense . Yes, like the golden hands currently summoned by Grid . That’s right . In Sua’s eyes, the God Hands looked like divine beings and Grid was a daoist, which was how he could use swordsmanship despite being a blacksmith . He was mysterious and overwhelming .
On the other hand, Grid was relieved .
‘Thank **** she is wearing armor . ’
Grid had hesitated when he was about to put an arm around Sua to protect her . He was worried about what would happen if she experienced his hands . Fortunately, Sua was wearing excellent armor . No matter how dexterous Grid’s fingers, it was impossible to cause someone to feel pleasure by touching armor . Sua luckily didn’t feel Grid’s touch .
"Step back . ”
The armored needles were currently slowed . Grid handed Sua to the Red Phoenix members and urged them to move away .
“What is his real identity?”
“A blacksmith using swordsmanship . . . ”
"I heard he used the white phosphorus wood to restore the Red Phoenix Bow . Is he really a daoist?”
‘They don’t know Pagma’s name?’
White once mentioned a legendary blacksmith . In addition, Pagma was a person presumed to be born on the East Continent . Grid thought that people on the East Continent would know Pagma . However, that didn’t seem to be the case .
‘Well, not everyone will know a legendary blacksmith . ’
It was likely that Pagma didn’t have as much reputation on the East Continent because he was more active on the West Continent .
‘My reputation here might transcend Pagma’s reputation . ’
His heart jumped at this thought . An area that couldn’t be reached by others . Grid felt joy at the opportunity to gain new achievements . Grid’s smile was distorted with greed as he questioned Sua and the Red Phoenix members .
"All of you are careless for a group who has been steadily exploring the dungeon . Are you originally like this? Or are you in bad shape today?”
Grid felt great disappointment in the Red Phoenix members . Experiencing a crisis in their first engagement after entering the dungeon, it was absurd and pathetic . The armored needles were strong, but the skills of the Red Phoenix group wasn’t as much as he expected .
“That . . . ”
Grid's sarcastic tone . It was enough to undermine their pride as those who dedicated their lives to defending Pangea . But the Red Phoenix didn’t get offended . No, they couldn’t feel offended . They weren’t qualified . They understood Grid’s tone .
“ . . . ”
Sua explained instead of the silent Red Phoenix members .
“Originally, the armored needles rarely travel together . We have been coming here for several years and this is the first time we’ve been attacked by five . ”
The basic tactic of the Red Phoenix group was to form a team of eight people . Eight people were needed to hunt one armored needle, and the highest number that had appeared at one time was three . It was unusual for five of the armored needles to appear at the same time . The Red Phoenix members deserved praise for not instantly falling into confusion .
But the result? It was the worst . They would’ve surely been wiped out if it wasn’t for Grid .
“I don’t mean to imply that we are unlucky today . I am deeply embarrassed by our inability to thoroughly prepare for today’s situation . And . . . Thank you . ”
Grid didn’t respond to the bowing Sua . It was because of the conflict between the armored needles and the God Hands!
‘Already?’
Grid was confused . Including the fused undead, there were a total of six armored needles . But still, what were the God Hands? He thought he could take advantage of the infinite stiffness and bind their feet for at least 20 seconds . But it failed to last even half of 20 seconds .
‘They can break Mjolnir’s offensive with their slow attacks?’
Grid realized when it he faced the fist of the gatekeeper, but the armored needles were strong . The evidence was that they overpowered the God Hands . The lead God Hand . It held the Ultimate Enhanced Mjolnir and was the one with maximum power . It had fought for ages, but was now bound by the silver thread . The remaining three God Hands were hurriedly avoiding the silver thread .
‘I have to go hard . ’
Grid categorized them as boss monsters and summoned Noe and Randy .
“Noe!”
“Nyang!”
There was a funny sound effect as Noe appeared and cried out .
“The best demonic beast of **** has emerged! Nyang!”
“Randy!”
“I will help . ”
Then Randy appeared and copied Grid’s appearance .
A talking cat . Two Grids .
The Red Phoenix members were astonished as they watched Grid .
‘Sacred creature!’
‘A clone!’
'Daoist! He is definitely a daoist!’
It was natural for the Red Phoenix members to think so . Grid was too special . Grid didn’t care about what they were thinking and ordered Noe and Randy .
"Noe, take the stats of the fused armoured needle . Randy will use ranged skills to help me . Make a gap so that the God Hands can strike the armored needles . ”
"I understand! Nyang!”
“Yes . ”
Grid was convinced when he saw the armored needles break the God Hands’ infinite stiffness . The Red Phoenix members weren’t weak . They were the elites of the elites . It was just that the armored needles were too strong . Thus, it would be a challenge of strength . There was no room to hold back his strength .
“Linked Kill Wave . ”
The armored needles were undead monsters . Their intelligence was significantly low . They moved without thinking and conflicted with each other when moving along the relatively narrow passage . It was impossible for them to avoid Grid’s Linked Kill Wave in this passage .
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
Linked Kill Wave boasted damage that was several times higher than Wave . It shot out eight energy blades that contained 1,500% of his attack power . The armored needles hit by them were instantly turned to rags and their health gauge fell by more than half .
Grid’s momentum increased . He calmly decided to finish them off as they rushed over .
‘If possible, let’s try not to consume the talisman in this fight . ’
It meant that he couldn’t be hit! It was ridiculous to deal with six boss monsters without being hit . However, Grid was serious .
“Transcend . ”
The scene of transcendence was completed in an instant as Grid’s hair was swept upwards . Grid’s ears and sharp eyes were exposed as he stepped back from the armored needles and wielded his sword twice .
Then two energy blades shot out .
Pepeng!
Pepepeng!
"Kyaak!"
The fraudulent ability of Transcend had been proven many times . It replaced Grid’s default attack with ranged attacks that had double his attack power . What if a buff skill was used in this state? It was a bombardment that no one could endure .
“Blacksmith's Rage . ”
[Blacksmith's Rage has been used . Attack power will increase by 25% and attack speed will increase by 40% for 35 seconds . ]
“Kyaaaak!”
The armored needles were angry . They were angry at being hit by their prey . They started moving quicker towards Grid .
Pepepepeng!
Pepepepeok!
After using Blacksmith’s Rage, Grid wielded the sword three or four times while stepping back . The momentum of the armored needles decreased . In particular, the one at the forefront was on the verge of having its health extinguished . Grid was excited .
“Hahat! Kuhahahahat! You are too slow!”
“ . . . ”
Sua and the Red Phoenix members were just watching the battle . The evil that had taken so many lives . The ghastly armored needles were just scarecrows in front of Grid .
"How can he be so stro . . . Ah!”
The Red Phoenix members flinched in unison .
Puoook!
It was because a few strands of silver thread appeared behind Grid . An armored needle secretly shot it through the ground in order to attack Grid .
"Danger!"
Sua hurriedly shouted but it was too late . Grid was busy with the armored needles in front of him and not paying attention to the rear .
"Ah . . . !"
The moment that Sua and the Red Phoenix members felt desperate .
“Come out! Overgeared Skeletons!”
Pahat!
A little ahead of where the silver thread emerged . Two skeletons popped up behind Grid . Then they were hit by the silver thread instead of Grid .
“Huh?”
There were a large number of people on the East Continent who could summon skeletons . But it was uncommon for people to use them as shields . Grid summoned the skeletons again .
‘It is good that the East Continent has a high mana regeneration rate . ’
It was the environment that best harmonized with the Ring of Absurdity .
Clack! Clack clack clack clack!
Peok! Pasak!
Noe, Randy and the God Hands were used for attack purposes, while the strands of silver thread were blocked by the Overgeared Skeletons . Then a notification window popped up in front of him .
[Overgeared Skeleton (1) and Overgeared Skeleton (2) are gradually growing accustomed to the silver thread . ]
