Overgeared Chapter 851:
Chapter 851
Eat Spicy Jokbal bought a variety of information from top rankers in each class . It was a habit that had started since the time of Blood Carnival, and based on the enormous amount of information he had, Eat Spicy Jokbal’ strength was greater than what people imagined .
“You dog bastard! Take your hands off her right now!”
Flash! Eat Spicy Jokbal’s body was surrounded by a green glow as he rushed toward Agnus . The mithril longsword and armor reflected the lights which were installed throughout the dungeon . That’s right . Eat Spicy Jokbal had equipped items meant for facing the undead . He was fully prepared for Agnus being the identity of the intruder . Having the power of Blood Carnival meant he could reserve many types of items . He wielded the legendary-rated ‘Lua’s Blessing’ and the unique-rated mithril armor, instantly slaughtering dozens of skeletons that Agnus summoned .
The special characteristic of a Dungeon Maker was that they were stronger in a dungeon, and the synergy with his battle gear exploded against the undead .
“Kik? There are strong people everywhere,” Agnus spat out . However, the smile on his face didn’t seem to disappear . He was still relaxed .
It was an attitude that enraged Eat Spicy Jokbal . “You . . . !”
Eat Spicy Jokbal felt a strong desire to kill Agnus, who still hadn’t let go of his niece, and narrowed the distance between them . He hoped that shock would spread across Agnus’ leisurely face . In spite of that, the process of narrowing the distance was too difficult .
Clack! Clack clack!
The undead that emerged from the ground kept pestering him . The skeleton warriors . . . ! For a number of rankers, these undead were tricky to face . Due to the high amount of dominance consumed and their outstanding abilities, third-advancement necromancers were limited to summoning two skeleton warriors at one time .
Yet Agnus summoned four skeletons at the same time, and Eat Spicy Jokbal was quickly isolated . The people who witnessed Eat Spicy Jokbal’s actions in the National Competition wouldn’t be able to understand how he was suffering a crisis right now . However, Agnus himself was in a crisis and released his grip on Elizabeth’s collar .
“Sprinkle Cement!” Eat Spicy Jokbal left the four skeleton warriors in a state where they couldn’t move with just one skill . Then he reached Agnus and linked it with ‘Cutting Bricks . ’ If Agnus were still holding Elizabeth, he would’ve been cut by the sharp attack several times .
Instead, Agnus managed to protect his body and evaded the attack before letting out extremely pleased laughter, “Kuk! Kukukuk! Kuhahat! You are also one of them?”
“Them?” Eat Spicy Jokbal made a confused sound .
“A monster that can split the game into 0 . 1-second increments . Kikik!” Agnus kindly gave him the answer . He then suddenly pulled out the basic ‘Supreme Ruler’ ability of his sword, and Eat Spicy Jokbal felt a strong pressure .
‘Just like the rumors!’ Eat Spicy Jokbal’s expression hardened as he blocked Agnus’ sword . He could feel how fast and powerful Agnus was despite being a necromancer . Still, the information Eat Spicy Jokbal had obtained in advance allowed him to cope flexibly without any confusion . This information made a large difference .
The biggest part of why players were defeated by Agnus was his unpredictable nature . Even if Eat Spicy Jokbal predicted Agnus’ actions, there would still be a problem . It was that Agnus evolved .
‘What?’ Eat Spicy Jokbal’s face turned pale as he exchanged a fourth blow with Agnus .
[Lua’s Blessing has received a demon’s curse . ]
[The divine power of Lua’s Blessing has temporarily disappeared . ]
[The durability of Lua’s Blessing has decreased by 27 . ]
[The attack power of Lua’s Blessing has dropped by 50% for 20 seconds . ]
Was it a skill? Or was it a curse that dwelled in the sword itself? Eat Spicy Jokbal’s eyes shook every time he blocked Agnus’s sword as he confirmed that Lua’s Blessing had lost its strength . Agnus’ voice echoed in the dungeon, “You have a divine sword to punish the villain?”
This was Agnus declaring that he was prepared for divine weapons . Eat Spicy Jokbal’s temporarily weakened sword pierced Agnus’ abdomen, while Agnus’ heavy sword tore at Eat Spicy Jokbal’s shoulder . Although Eat Spicy Jokbal seemed to suffer a superficial effect, they actually suffered a similar amount of damage .
The power of the Supreme Ruler imprinted on the rune and the Sword Mastery skill weren’t enough to overcome the base difference in stats . After all, Dungeon Maker was about hard labor! Eat Spicy Jokbal’s strength and stamina were high like Grid’s stats . Therefore, his attack power was still strong despite his weapon being weakened . The set of divine armor also played a firm role .
The problem was that Agnus wasn’t alone .
“ . . . !” Eat Spicy Jokbal got goosebumps and looked behind him, ignoring Agnus’ blow . A death knight was moving . In order to prepare for the attack of the death knight who was raising a sword with a purple aura, Eat Spicy Jokbal was beaten by Agnus’ continuous strikes and saw a painful notification window .
[Soseosan’s Mithril Armor has received a demon’s curse . ]
[Soseosan’s Mithril Leggings has received a demon’s curse . ]
[The divine power of Soseosan’s Mithril Armor has temporarily disappeared . ]
[The divine power of Soseosan’s Mithril Leggings . . . ]
[The durability of the Soseosan’s Mithril Armor has decreased by 47 . ]
[The durability of Soseosan’s Mithril Leggings . . . ]
[The defense of the Soseosan’s Mithril Armor has decreased by 20% for 20 seconds . ]
[The defense of Soseosan’s Mithril Leggings . . . ]
“What?!”
To think that the curse could enter armor as well as weapons . . . ? The death knight’s sword fell toward Eat Spicy Jokbal’s head .
“Kuk!”
The explosion caused by Eat Spicy Jokbal’s sword colliding with the death knight’s sword caused the dungeon to shake . Agnus and the death knight seized this winning chance and proceeded to bombard Eat Spicy Jokbal without stopping . The swords that kept pouring toward Eat Spicy Jokbal exhausted his health at a rapid pace . He tried to counterattack, but the debuffs, which had a low chance of activating, made him feel even more helpless .
“Uncle!”
This was the uncle who had raised Elizabeth on behalf of her grandparents and parents . She treated him as a friend but he was a person she looked up to from deep inside her heart . Elizabeth didn’t want to see her uncle, who was always steadfast, in such a helpless state . It might be a game, but her uncle’s pained expression caused her heart to ache . The most serious problem was the terrible death penalty .
In the end, Elizabeth shouted, “I understand! I’ll accept your request, so leave Uncle alone!”
Agnus paused at this, and Eat Spicy Jokbal took advantage of the gap .
“Looking away from me during a fight is bad because I am a coward!”
“ . . . ?”
Something unexpected started to occur . The dungeon shook like it was hit by an earthquake, and its structure started to change . Some floors floated up while some of the ceiling rotated around and around, and the walls changed their position . This was the Dungeon Remodeling skill that Eat Spicy Jokbal received when he reached level 325 .
[Dungeon Remodeling Lv . 1]
[Temporarily change the internal structure of a dungeon that you created . The structure change is random, and all objects in the dungeon won’t be able to resist the ‘confused’ or ‘isolated’ state . The caster himself can’t avoid this effect .
* Locations set as critical points will be preserved and won’t be affected by the remodeling .
* The changed dungeon can be restored to its normal structure at any time .
Skill Mana consumption: 20% of the current mana .
Skill Cooldown Time: 6 hours . ]
It was a skill that put even the caster in a crisis . There were too many variables, but it was worth trying out in the midst of a crisis .
“U-Uncle! Diz . . . zy . . . ”
“Kuk . . . !”
Agnus’, Eat Spicy Jokbal’s, and Elizabeth’s sight became blurred . Although Agnus’ resistance as a legendary class was an unexpected variable, the Gel-Dena Ring gave Eat Spicy Jokbal and Elizabeth a quick recovery . It was a ring made by Elizabeth herself .
“Bokja!”
“Uncle!”
Eat Spicy Jokbal and Elizabeth grabbed each other as they recovered from the abnormal state more quickly than Agnus did . They ran away from Agnus, who was isolated by the moving walls, and headed toward the dungeon’s exit . Elizabeth no longer insisted on keeping her workshop . The loss of throwing away her workshop was serious, but it was nothing compared to losing her uncle’s life . The two of them were confident they had escaped from Agnus, but it was an unproven confidence .
“Kik! Kikikik!” Agnus barely recovered from his confusion . Seeing Eat Spicy Jokbal and Elizabeth run away, Agnus shouted, “Demon Summoning!”
As the name, Baal’s Contractor, suggested, he was the contractor of the 1st great demon .
“Dyulebul . ”
In fact, the true power of Baal’s Contractor was in summoning and controlling demons, rather than the summoning and control of the undead . However, this ability only emerged after his class was promoted to the legendary rating . The demon opened its mouth and shot out a ray, hitting Eat Spicy Jokbal and Elizabeth .
“Bokja!”
His niece was hurt, and Eat Spicy Jokbal’s clothes were turned into rags as he wrapped himself around her small body .
***
‘Does Youngwoo know?’
Yura wondered as she barely escaped from **** .
It was likely that the Grid NPC in **** had a close relationship with Grid, but she judged that Grid probably wasn’t even aware of the existence of the NPC . Otherwise, Grid would’ve told Yura in advance if he had known that his NPC was in **** . However, Yura hadn’t heard anything about it .
‘First, I should inform Youngwoo-ssi about this . ’
She had no intention of asking for answers, but there was no reason not to tell Grid about how there was an NPC in **** that was exactly the same as Grid when he used Blackening .
‘Then I will rest for a few days . ’
Yura’s fatigue was considerable after being stuck in **** for several months . One’s body could be restored through rest, but one’s spirit wouldn’t recover as easily . The barren landscapes and the harsh atmosphere of **** made her spirit desolate .
The biggest problem was that the Demon Slayer class didn’t shine despite her level reaching 320 . Yura felt increasingly disappointed with her class which was unable to exert a satisfactory power, and her mental state kept falling . She felt shameful when she was compared to other legends .
‘In hell, I’m not lacking when I’m compared to the Sword Saint and Pagma's Descendant, but . . . ’
Hell wasn’t the only stage of the game . Yura couldn’t be locked in **** for the rest of her life . This made her feel that she was lacking in comparison to the other legendary classes which could be powerful anytime and anywhere .
‘Will it be different once I complete all my class quests? But I know that Youngwoo-ssi hasn’t finished his class quests yet . . . Perhaps I missed a hidden quest?’
Yura’s steps were heavy and her face was dark as she headed toward Reinhardt . Her undiminished beauty attracted the gazes of passersby, but this was an obstacle for Yura . She didn’t want to dazzle others with her outward appearance but to be recognized for her pure abilities . Then she received a chance .
[A demon has emerged in the human world! It is a high-level demon dependent on dark and powerful magic . ]
[The new skill Demon Tracking has been opened . ]
[The fourth class quest ‘Old Enemy’ has been created . ]
[Defeat Baal’s Contractor!]
“Gerad Mountain!”
Was this luck from the sky? The demon’s location was very close to where Yura was . Feeling joyful, she ran as fast as possible . Agnus was a figure comparable to Grid, but as a Demon Slayer, Yura knew that she was the counter to Agnus . She had a good chance of winning .
Simultaneously . . .
“Is this place right?”
“You have asked three times already . Rest assured . We will soon arrive safe and sound . ”
“ . . . ”
“I apologize again for wasting your time . I’m really sorry . ”
“ . . . I would curse if you weren’t ashamed . ”
“ . . . ”
Grid and Bullet were still wandering on the road . Unexpectedly, Grid wasn’t feeling particularly irritated . He could utilize the time by making underwear, and after talking to Bullet for a few hours, he felt that their relationship had become better .
