Overgeared Chapter 824:
Chapter 824
‘This is a monster I’m not meant to catch . ’ Grid noticed it the moment he faced the giant cave cricket .
It had a disgusting appearance that couldn’t be endured by ordinary people, and it didn’t fall down despite being hit by two legendary NPCs . The cave cricket was at a level that players couldn’t reach . Once he combined all these factors, Grid knew the giant cave cricket wasn’t meant for players . There were no chances of winning if a player met this monster .
‘I’m certain . A normal person will be stunned just by looking at it . ’
It was a super large version of a cave cricket . Grid thought about its eyes, stretched-out snout, long whiskers, bent antennae, translucent skin, and so on… These were features that were hard for humans to accept . It felt like a few people would faint when they saw the giant cave cricket and then try to sue the S . A Group .
Additionally, there was clear proof that the giant cave cricket was a monster not scheduled to meet players .
‘It appears to be an event monster related to a specific story . ’
Grid had been playing Satisfy since the open beta test . Unlike the talented people in the game, he had experienced rock bottom . He didn’t have regular experiences, and it wasn’t difficult for him to understand the nature of certain monsters .
Behind Grid, Mercedes was changing into the new set of armor, and the leather armor she had been wearing since she left the empire fell to the ground . That was when Grid confirmed the information of the leather armor .
[Old Leather Armor]
[Durability: 15/140 Defense: 60
-The armor that Legendary Knight Mercedes wore during her days as Piaro’s aide . The performance of the armor isn’t bad, but it has long lost its original function because it can’t withstand the long years that have passed .
Weight: 290
User Restriction: Level 180 or higher . ]
“Wow . . . ” Grid was appalled . He had analyzed Mercedes’ worn equipment with a Legendary Blacksmith’s Eyes and thought it should have a level limitation of 200 . However, he had no idea that the performance of the armor was such garbage . The usage condition was level 180, but the leather armor’s actual performance was like a set of level 20 armor .
“Fighting with something like this . . . Heok . ” Grid turned his gaze toward Mercedes, only to close his eyes with horror . It was because he’d caught a peek at Mercedes’ body as she just started wearing the red and purple full plate armor . Grid blushed while Mercedes was casual about showing her naked body . She wasn’t embarrassed since this was the process that a knight used to wear equipment .
“It is shameful to blame the equipment . ” There was a determined expression on Mercedes’ face as she adjusted the hinges of the armor . “However, I changed my mind since using the sword that I borrowed from Your Majesty . ”
The more formidable the equipment, the higher the strength would be . It was an undeniable truth . The newly enlightened Mercedes made a new chivalric code, “Overgeared . . . Is that what you called it? In the future, I will also be overgeared . ”
It happened at this moment .
[Legendary Knight Mercedes has created a new chivalric code . ]
[Legendary Knight Mercedes’ stats have increased by 10% . Every time she wears a high rated item, she will receive a compensation effect . ]
[If the legendary knight Mercedes wears epic rated items, she will receive an additional 5% increase in the item stats (apart from the options) . If she wears unique rated items, she will receive an additional 7% increase in the item stats (apart from the options) . If she wears legendary rated items, she will receive an additional 10% increase in the item stats (apart from the options) . If she wears myth rated items, she will receive an additional 20% increase in the item stats (apart from the options) . ]
[The legendary knight Mercedes has equipped the Hero King’s Armor . ]
[Due to the class bonus of wearing heavy armor, there is a 20% increase in defense . ]
[A myth rated item has been worn . The stats of the Hero King’s Armor that Mercedes is wearing have increased by 20% . ]
“What?” Grid’s eyes grew bigger and twitched as he realized the unique nature of a legendary knight’s chivalric code was more than he’d imagined . In awe of Mercedes, Grid felt a greater liking toward her .
‘Pagma's Descendant in the future . . . ’
Grid was well aware of the fraudulent nature of Item Creation . He could mass produce a large number of high rated items . However, Grid’s own stats didn’t increase when he used Item Creation . On the other hand, Mercedes had overwhelming growth every time she made a chivalric code, while Sword Saint Kraugel was able to build his own skills based on Swordsmanship Creation .
It was evident that the attack power of Pagma's Descendant would fall over time compared to other classes . Just as Grid was feeling frustrated, a voice entered his ears .
“My strength is Master’s strength . ” It was Mercedes’ soft voice . Grid looked at her and once again admired her . She was so beautiful . The intense combination of white hair and transparent skin with the red and purple armor took Grid’s breath away .
[Hero King’s Armor]
[Rating: Myth

-An armor that the legendary blacksmith Grid, who even the gods admire, made for the legendary knight Mercedes .
-A heavy armor made of black mithril filled with the red energy of the Saharan emperor, ogre bones and rosar tin, and the fighting energy that was given by Grid .
Due to the limitations of the rosar tin, there is less defense . However, it has the ability to give more aggression to the wearer as the battle continues .
Weight: 3,020
Conditions of Use: Grid or Mercedes . ]
It was an armor that couldn’t be sold . Who would buy it for an expensive price when Grid and Mercedes were the only ones who could wear it? Still, Grid wasn’t worried .
After all, the Hero King’s Armor was made only for Mercedes . Grid had no thoughts about commercializing an armor with such excellent performance in the first place . He wasn’t certain that he could get another black mithril that contained the emperor’s red energy .
‘The defense is lower in exchange for offense . ’
Step . Step . Step .
Mercedes wore the armor and steadily walked through the forest that was transforming into farmland . The giant cave cricket’s antennae detected Mercedes as its aggro was still focused on her . Then it moved soundlessly . The cave cricket swung its legs through the air . The sharpness of its legs cut through the wind, air, and space in 0 . 1 seconds to reach Mercedes .
Mercedes’ might’ve had a 10% increase in stats from making the chivalric code, but it was still impossible for her to avoid the cave cricket’s attack completely . Not only was the cave cricket fast, but it also aimed at all types of gaps in her defense . Mercedes disregarded defense and took the offensive . This was a judgment that was different from before as when she wore the leather armor, she had tried to block some attacks .
The cave cricket made a confused sound . The small creature stuck to its legs . The sweet smell of blood disseminated and flew away, while the creature clung to it like a rock .
“It hurts . ” Mercedes gulped as blood flowed from her side and grasped the White Tiger Sword more firmly .
Step . Step . Her pace didn’t stop . The distance between Mercedes and the cave cricket was now only four meters . The cave cricket’s ability to detect danger was fast, just like an insect’s instinct . Compared to the past, the number of Mercedes’ offensive attacks had increased, and the cave cricket had no intention of allowing Mercedes to get close to it .
“Kuk . . . !”
The cave cricket had become faster . . . ?
Mercedes was forced to use White Tiger’s Attitude once the Hero King’s Armor started to lose its durability . She maintained a slow pace as she advanced steadily . Suddenly, four golden hands flew in and started to assist . They were Grid’s God Hands .
Then what was Grid doing? A strong aura came from the sky . Grid had flown up there . He swung the Enlightenment Sword and shouted, “Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle!”
Kuwaaaaaang! The storm of fighting energy descended . It was Grid’s signal .
“Growth! Threshing! Polishing!!” After finishing the clearing, Piaro quickly spread all types of fast-growing grain and seeds, making them explode . The farmland received a lot of damage and collapsed . Mercedes was the only one who had access to the cave cricket .
“Ohhhhh!”
Thanks to the Hero King’s Armor, Mercedes was able to exert more damage by accumulating damage . Her swords hadn’t been able to penetrate the skin of the cave cricket earlier, but they entered easily now and caused great damage . The cave cricket struggled as some of its nerves were damaged . Its eight legs moved strangely in every direction, forming a sight that could induce someone to vomit .
However, Grid wasn’t shaken at all . He had learned to control his emotions after seeing the boys and girls raised like cattle in the Tower of Eternity . Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle crushed the shell of the cave cricket .
“Fated to Perish!” Piaro ultimate attack dug into the cave cricket’s inner flesh .
Kyak kyak! Kyak kyak kyak!
“Lightning Discharge! Discharge, nyong! Nyang nyang nyang!”
The Overgeared Skeletons, Randy, and Noe also attacked the cave cricket with all their might . The cave cricket’s cries stirred up the forest at dawn . The effect of God's Command was activated, and Grid used a second Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle .
[Your level has risen!]
