Overgeared Chapter 561:
[Item Transformation]
A skill that can be triggered if the legendary mineral ‘pavranium’ is possessed .
It transforms the pavranium into the shape and performance of a specific item .
* It can only transform into items you have learned how to make .
* The duration of the transformation is 3 minutes . After the transformation is released, the pavranium will return to its original form .
Skill Mana Cost: None .
Skill Cooldown Time: 6 hours .
It was the power that Grid obtained in return for making the 15th legendary item . It was a skill that maximized the value of pavranium . So far, the skill had been used to reproduce the myth rated Lifael’s Spear . Now he used it to reproduce the Red Phoenix Bow .
Pagma’s Descendant lacked wide area skills compared to other combat classes . The Red Phoenix Bow was a good item to overcome this shortcoming . Of course, it was impossible to completely reproduce the myth rated Red Phoenix Bow . The prerequisite for the myth rated Red Phoenix Bow was the Red Phoenix’s Breath . As the essence of a god, it couldn’t be reproduced by pavranium .
The Red Phoenix Bow that Grid reproduced was the legendary rated one that he gave to Han Seokbong .
“Fly Up!”
[Fly Up!]
Summons a copy of the Red Phoenix .
The Red Phoenix’s clone will deal fire attribute damage to all targets within 300 meters of the summoned spot . The damage is 600% of the summoner’s total attack power .
Mana Consumption: 3,000
Cooldown Time: 24 hours .
It was a terribly weak effect compared to the Fly Up! attached to the myth rated Red Phoenix Bow . The attack range was too bad . The myth rated Red Phoenix Bow attacked all enemies within the player’s field of view, while the legendary rated bow had an attack range of 300 meters .
But 300 meters wasn’t a small range . Wide area skills with such a large range were actually very rare . It didn’t matter if this wasn’t the Fly Up! of the myth rated Red Phoenix Bow . The legendary rated Fly Up! would be used! It was a superb wide area skill .
In addition, the myth rated Fly Up! also had limitations . It was difficult to exert the full effect when the user’s view was restricted . In terms of stability, the legendary rated Fly Up! was better . It was more efficient . However, the disadvantage was that it attacked all targets within range . In other words, it didn’t differentiate between friends of foe . But right now, there was only enemies here . All of them were enemies except for the inhabitants of Bairan .
“Fly Up!”
Kiiiiiiii-!
The white phosphorus arrow was fired at the same time by Grid and the God Hands, leaving the Red Phoenix Bow and soaring into the sky . At the same time, the cries of birds rang throughout Bairan and two red phoenixes appeared . Birds surrounded by flames . The size was as big as a house . The Eternal soldiers fell into a panic as they saw the giant birds blocking the sun .
“Phoenix!”
“Grid summoned them!”
There was no limit to Grid’s power!
Flap .
The birds in the sky flapped their wings and flames fell to the ground . Duke Lucilliv sensed the danger and screamed at the soldiers .
"Spread out!"
It was in order to minimize the loss of troops . But the large number of troops was a disadvantage . Bairan was full of Eternal soldiers . The place was too narrow to allow escape . Before they could move a few steps, their bodies collided, their feet became tangled up and they collapsed . The fireballs bombardment commenced above their heads while they were trapped in the streets and defenseless .
Pepepepeok!
"Aaaaack!"
These were the screams of the survivors . The soldiers burnt by the flames couldn’t even scream as they turned to ash . A scene where thousands of soldiers were targets of the falling fireballs . . . People started sweating at the overwhelming sight .
"The magicians as well . . . !”
Duke Lucilliv felt anxious from his position on the walls . In front of Grid, the number of troops was meaningless . The battlefield was devastated . The bulk of the soldiers were lost . In particular, the loss of the magicians forced him to make a decision .
"Send out the knights! We’ll only receive more losses if this continues!”
"Waaahhhhhhhh!"
Finally, the real battle started . Around 5,000 knights in the mid-200s assaulted Grid .
Duke Lucilliv laughed . "They’re different from the soldiers!”
It was painful to lose knights . However, the ultimate goal of this war was Grid’s death . They needed to devote resources to take care of Grid .
‘The curse doesn’t care if he is a creature of the gods . ’
He had prepared a curse . A curse that only worked on immortal beings . It was an atrocious curse that increased the player’s death penalty by up to three times . It could cause fatal damage!
Grid looked at the confidence Duke Lucilliv and released the transformation of the Red Phoenix Bow . Then he transformed the other two God Hands into Red Phoenix Bows .
“Don’t you know I have two more left? Fly Up!”
Kiiiiiiii-!
Grid fired the bow and two more firebirds appeared in the sky .
"Heok!”
“This doesn’t make sense!”
The 5,000 knights approaching Grid hastily stopped in place . It felt like a dream that such a powerful skill was used twice in a row .
“A-Avoid it!”
The knights started to flee between the soldiers . They used the soldiers as shields to protect their lives . But Fly Up! It attacked all targets within a certain range . Using people as shields were meaningless .
Kurururung!
Fireballs that poured like rain!
“Kuaaaack!”
The knights were struck by burning fireballs and screamed in horror . But knights were knights for a reason . Most of them didn’t die from the blow . The vast majority of them barely lived . But .
[The hidden passive ‘God's Command’ has reset the cooldown of Fly Up! If reused within three seconds, no resources will be consumed . ]
"There is still one remaining . ”
Kiiiiiiii-!
The red phoenix appeared once again . The knights couldn’t understand and shouted .
“This is impossible!”
It was a cry that was full of misery and wishful thinking . They turned to ashes from the fireballs . It was the moment when the proud knights of the Eternal Kingdom were destroyed . Duke Lucilliv was stunned as he lost his main forces in vain .
“T-This doesn’t make sense . . . !”
There was no way for even a great magician to use large magic spells consecutively . Grid’s power was infinite . Duke Lucilliv was filled with doubt and fear . He was afraid that he really might lose 100,000 troops to Grid .
'No! Absolutely not!’
Duke Lucilliv and his 100,000 troops couldn’t be destroyed by only one enemy . He would be labelled as the most incompetent person in the history of the West Continent . Duke Lucilliv needed to avoid this situation and decided to convene the elite group .
“Baron Duka! Earl Carrion! Earl Red! Marquis Bera? It’s your turn!”
They were the great swordsman and magicians who boasted the strongest power . The knights and soldiers they fostered were excellent compared to the Eternal Kingdom . Duke Lucilliv believed they would be able to kill Grid, even if they received damage .
However . . .
"Where is everybody?”
They couldn’t be seen at all? Confusion filled Duke Lucilliv’s eyes . It was enough to drive him crazy .

『 What are we seeing right now? 』
Jishuka summoned a red phoenix above Patrian . Experts from all the the world evaluated as a quest item . The power from a player was so strong that it must be a force that could only be used during the Eternal Kingdom’s war quests . But now they realized that might not be the case .
The bow that summoned a red phoenix . Grid had several of them .
-Grid can summon the red phoenix five times in a row, although it’s weaker than the phoenix summoned by Jishuka . No matter how weak the red phoenixes summoned, doesn’t Grid’s summoning ability seem much stronger than Jishuka?
-I agree . It seems comparable to Meteor, which is a rumored high grade spell .
-What was Grid doing after the National Competition? How did he become so strong in such a short period of time?
-Don’t try to understand him . Did you see how easily he beat the vampires? He is a king/god gamer .
-Right now, I think that the candidates to win the 3rd National Competition are South Korea and Brazil . Summoning a phoenix alone would end the war .
-Now people are shutting up . Those cursing Grid are silent .
The viewers around the world admired the sight . Grid summoned five red phoenixes in a row and destroyed more than 10,000 troops . Was there a player capable of destroying 10,000 troops in the blink of an eye? People started speculating . It was only Grid capable of doing this, not Kraugel .
The basis for it was as followed:
『 We shouldn’t overlook one thing . Grid hasn’t shown most of the skills he used during the National Competition . 』
『 Grid still hasn’t fully revealed his abilities . 』

Akaru Fortress .
It was located on the edge of the Saharan Empire . Geographically, it was facing Reidan’s direction and the reason for the fortress’ presence was to watch and keep in check the Saharan Empire . It was a neutral state but it wasn’t necessary to keep it in check . Like other kingdoms, the Eternal Kingdom also offered a tribute to the empire . As a result, there were few troops deployed to Akaru Fortress .
But the atmosphere had changed in recent years . The noble called Grid revolted in the Eternal Kingdom, causing the Eternal Kingdom to be in turmoil . The Saharan Empire didn’t intend to miss this gap . In particular, the Saharan Empire had long since coveted Reidan . Now that the Eternal Kingdom was in turmoil, they planned to invade Reidan and take control .
Now 20,000 elite troops were deployed to Akaru Fortress and this was a golden opportunity .
"The Eternal Kingdom has moved 100,000 troops . ”
“There’s a group deployed from Reidan in response . ”
“Now Reidan is empty . ”
This was the time . The time had come to enter Reidan with no bloodshed and plant the flag of the empire . What about the Eternal Kingdom? The empire was just giving strength to the kingdom suffering due to the rebels . They were just protecting Reidan while the kingdom was recovering . After this, they could casually occupy it .
The takeover of a territory by a powerful nation! Earl Turich, commander of Akaru Fortress, didn’t even think about it . He moved without any hesitation towards the empty Reidan . But he was forced to stop the march of the army .
‘This is impossible!’
The mountain range that was between Reidan and Akaru Fortress . As they crossed the mountain range, they saw tens of thousands of Reidan soldiers in the vast desert . The large army was united and training in the same movements . The imperial soldiers got goosebumps .
“How can tens of thousands of soldiers move the same?”
There wasn’t a hair out of place . The tens of thousands of troops were doing the exact same movement with the spear . It was obvious with a glance that they were the elites .
" . . . We have to step back . ”
Earl Turich judged and gave an order to his army . He never imagined it . There were actually only 1,000 soldiers training in the desert heat . The reason there seemed to be tens of thousands? It was due to the shadows that the 1,000 soldiers made under the sun .
“Using my shadow soldiers strategically . . . Earl Lauel is really a great person . ”
Kasim’s heart thumped as he saw the imperial army retreat beyond the mountains . He become even more convinced that Grid, accompanied by powerful forces and talent, would surely destroy the empire .
