Overgeared Chapter 75:
Chapter 75
“Pant…pant…”
Two-thirds of my health was consumed when fighting the three lizardmen . I was completely drained of mana .
‘I only have four skills to use, but my mana is so lacking…’
Currently, I only had around 500 mana . Even though my mana recovery rate wasn’t slow, my mana was almost gone once I used my combat skills . I didn’t want to waste a mana recovery potion, so I sat down and rested . Once my health and mana were fully recovered, I got up again and started moving .
‘If I catch two more mobs, I can level up . ’
I no longer feared the monsters in the canyon . The monsters in the canyons were like clumps of experience, just like the frostlight orcs . But there was one monster that was the exception…
Tadak! Tadak! Tadadak .
A very bizarre and sinister stepping sound descended rapidly down the curved wall, approaching quickly . I hurriedly shifted my gaze and almost peed my pants as I saw the owner of the steps .
The huge spider, which was as large as two 15-ton trucks, was heading towards me .
“C-Canyon spider!”
The canyon spider was a top predator among the canyon monsters . It was level 180! Even the canyon lizards and lizardmen would be caught in its spider web and become prey . There was speculation that the monsters of the canyon lived in caves because they were protecting themselves from the canyon spider .
Such a big monster actually appeared in front of me .
“H-Hik…”
In the past, I had been trapped by the canyon spider and suffered a huge trauma . So now I had an allergy towards spiders . I got goosebumps and my legs couldn’t even stand up straight .
“Kikikik…”
The canyon spider made a strange sound and shot out a spider web . Then it ran down the web and stopped right in front of my nose .
“Aaaaaaack!”
The canyon spider’s head was incredibly small compared to its huge size . As soon as the head stopped right in front of me, the mouth of the spider opened wide and the sharp teeth revealed a threatening appearance .
I randomly swung my dagger in an attempt to resist . But the blind attack didn’t touch the body of the canyon spider . The canyon spider avoided my attack while hanging on the web, then fired a web towards me .
Swaeeek .
It was initially launched in cocoon form and spread 3m wide in less than a second . If the web draped over my body then I would become the prey of the canyon spider . I was well aware of this and desperately wanted to avoid the web, but I still couldn’t move because my legs were weak .
At that moment!
[A legend doesn’t feel fear easily . ]
I was freed from the spider allergy and moved my body, avoiding the spider web . As I let out a sigh of relief, the spider looked at me like it was a trivial move . Then its onslaught started .
Syuk! Syuk!
Spider webs were shot out continuously, forming a fearsome net in the sky .
“Dammit!”
I frantically avoided the spiderwebs . As I was diligently avoiding it, I felt my limits .
‘This **** spider… no matter how much I avoid it, the spider keeps shooting out the webs . If this continues, I will become tired and unable to do anything . ’
There was a need to stop it from easily launching the webs .
“Wind Blast!”
I made a decision and cast Wind Blast towards the torso of the canyon spider . The spider was hit by Wind Blast and shook a few times while hanging on the web . But it wasn’t a substantial blow .
[You have dealt 300 damage to the target . ]
“Crazy! What is this defense?”
The canyon spider only suffered a slight amount of damage from the Wind Blast of the +8 Ideal Dagger! This meant the canyon spider’s defense was overwhelming to the point that it was superior to the frostlight orc chief, as well as the canyon lizards .
While the canyon spider was 40 levels higher than the frostlight orc chief, it was but a normal monster in comparison to the chief, which was a boss monster . A normal monster having more defense than a boss monster…
‘Of course, its health will be much lower than the frostlight orc chief’s health, but what good is that? The defense is so high that I can’t deal any damage to its health to begin with . ’
I was frustrated while the canyon spider started firing the spider webs even more quickly .
“Kuk! Quick Movements!”
My evasion and agility temporarily increased . I barely avoided the spider webs while the duration of Quick Movements continued running out . In the meantime, the cooldown of Wind Blast finished .
“Blacksmith’s Rage! Wind Blast!”
Peeng!
The canyon spider was so huge that it was easy to aim at it . Wind Blast was reinforced by Blacksmith’s Rage and hit the canyon spider, but once again, the spider didn’t receive a high amount of damage .
[You have dealt 344 damage to the target . ]
“No, what type of defense it this? Such a scam!”
“Kiyaaak . ”
I avoided the webs that started to fly again while trying to think of a plan .
‘I can’t fight against it using Wind Blast alone . Unbreakable Justice will work to a certain extent…’
Originally, Wind Blast was a skill that dealt 60% of the caster’s attack power . But since I didn’t meet the conditions to use the Ideal Dagger, I was penalized by having only half the option effect applied . In other words, Wind Blast only dealt 30% of my attack power .
On the other hand, Unbreakable Justice fully dealt 300% of my attack power . Even the canyon spider would be damaged by Unbreakable Justice .
However, Wind Blast was a ranged attack skill while Unbreakable Justice needed to hit the target directly . I couldn’t use it since I couldn’t reach the canyon spider . And right now, it was impossible to approach the canyon spider .
‘This can’t continue . Is there any way I can reach that spider?’
I was troubled as I looked at the spider webs covering the sky .
‘It is impossible to approach due to the spider web . Then I…?’
What was this? Did I need to once again experience being chewed alive?
“Dammit… Eh?”
I suddenly got a good idea .
“I don’t know if a combo will work… but it is worth trying!”
The degree of freedom in Satisfy was infinite . That also applied to skills . It was possible for users to create completely different effects depending on how they used or combined their skills . I walked forward . Then I checked and found that the cooldown of Wind Blast had ended .
Now I had somewhat figured out the pattern of the spider webs, so I easily avoided them and accurately aimed Wind Blast at the canyon spider .
Then!
“Unbreakable Justice!”
I used Unbreakable Justice . There was also the freshly generated Wind Blast .
Kiiiiing-!
The energy of Unbreakable Justice combined with Wind Blast . Wind Blast and Unbreakable Justice couldn’t be broken so they were combined into one, then a message window popped up .
[The new skill fusion has succeeded . ]

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
The dark blue aura, reminiscent of a sword master, flew towards the canyon spider .
“Kieek?”
As the wind sword flew forward, the canyon spider scrambled up the spider web in an attempt to escape . But the spider couldn’t be faster than the wind .
Peeeeeong!
“Kiyaaaaah~!”
Wind of Justice hit the canyon spider, causing it to fall down the web while a yellow liquid emerged from its mouth .
Kuwaaaang!
The canyon spider crashed into the ground, causing a huge crack . It fell on its back and was so big that it couldn’t raise its body . I was confident that now was my chance to get rid of it . I drank a mana recovery potion .
“Blacksmith’s Rage! Quick Movements!”
Once my attack power, attack speed, evasion and agility increased, I rushed towards the canyon spider . It couldn’t raise its body yet, but the spider kept trying to resist . The eight legs waved and threatened me several times, but I only had light injuries on my shoulders and thighs due to Quick Movements .
“Now…!”
I laughed as the eight legs twisted in the air, then stabbed the Ideal Dagger deep into the canyon spider’s chest .
Puok!
The back, legs, and head of the canyon spider were all covered with a thick shell . But the chest was covered with hair . In other words, the chest of the canyon spider didn’t boast an overwhelming defense, unlike the other areas .
[You have dealt 2,880 damage to the target . ]
[The Best Gauntlets option effect is activated, causing you to attack the target twice . ]
[You have dealt 6,040 damage to the target . ]
“Kieeeeeeek!”
The terrible screams of the canyon spider echoed in Kesan Canyon . Yes, now was the chance…
“Revenge… it is the true revenge time! Kuhahahahat!”
In the past, how much had I suffered from the monsters in Kesan Canyon? I was stabbed to death by a tail, killed by a tail, stunned, trampled and even eaten . I lost items and experience in this place, and my mental state was shattered . It was so bad I developed an allergy to spiders .
However, the monsters in the canyon were so strong that I never dared dream of revenge . Then what about now? I was different now . I was significantly different .
“Now is the time for you to fear me!”
Puoook!
“Kiyaaaaah~!”
[You have defeated a canyon spider . ]

[The canyon spider’s eyeball has been acquired . ]
[The canyon spider’s spiderweb has been acquired . ]
[387,500 experience has been acquired . ]
[Your level has risen . ]
At this moment, my allergy to spiders disappeared forever . Meanwhile, a long-haired man was watching Grid from a high cliff .
“This is the first time in ages that I’ve seen someone take care of a canyon spider alone . His skills are still very poor, but he has a rapid growth rate…”
The canyon spider lost its web and crashed into the ground . It fell to its back and was helpless because there was no nearby terrain to fire and attach new webs to .
If the canyon spider had fallen on its stomach and there was terrain close enough to aim a spider web at, the spider would’ve instantly recovered and attacked Grid again . In other words, luck played a huge role in Grid’s successful hunt of the canyon spider .
However, the man couldn’t help admiring Grid .
“His ability grows every time he hunts a monster . His potential is beyond imagination… He seems a good choice to be my agent of revenge . ”
The name of this long-haired man was Piaro . He was once the strongest knight of the Saharan Empire . He was originally a knight captain, but he was framed as a traitor and hid in Kesan Canyon…
“Asmophel… I will make you die a cruel death!”
They were trackers looking for Piaro all throughout the continent . Piaro couldn’t escape from this place so he needed someone to get rid of Asmophel, who ruined the lives of Piaro and his colleagues .
Piaro was convinced that Grid was the person he wanted .
“Pant…pant…”
