Overgeared, p.281
Overgeared, page 281
“I will eat all of you.”
Elfin Stone got up and declared. His red eyes were tinged with black. The feeling of intimidation was incomparable.
“…Now how should we defeat him?”
The Overgeared members were lost. They weren’t sure how to deal with Elfin Stone, who had all his stats increased by Blood Field. As everyone was feeling desperate…
“Don’t you know that I have a hidden power as well?”
Grid spoke meaningful words. Elfin Stone and the Overgeared members focused on him.
‘A hidden power?’
Elfin Stone was nervous.
‘Truly God Grid!’
‘He had a trump card!’
The Overgeared members were delighted. As everyone’s attention was fixed on him, Grid shouted.
“Item! Combi!! Nation!!!”
“…?”
Was it a cool animation like the transformation robots that were popular in his grandfather’s generation. No, it was…
Ttang! Ttang!
Grid took out a hammer and anvil, before squatting down and starting to hammer. Honestly, it was ludicrous behavior.
“This person has become crazy from fear.”
The previously tense Elfin Stone ridiculed Grid. The Overgeared members felt embarrassed.
Chapter 299
Chapter 299
The premise of this raid’s success was the obstruction of Blood Field. But in the end, that failed. Elfin Stone opened his real power and succeeded in using Blood Field. The chances of this raid succeeding declined exponentially. If Elfin Stone couldn’t be defeated in the next three minutes, Grid’s party wouldn’t be able to avoid annihilation.
‘I need more power.’
There was no room to be leisurely. Grid pulled out two accessories from his inventory.
[Dark Bus’ Ring]
Rating: Unique
Durability: 15/15
A ring worn by the 7th Yatan Servant, Dark Bus.
The wearer’s mana is constantly consumed, and the dispel function will depend on this.
* 50 mana per second will be consumed by the ring. If the consumed mana reaches 5,000 then you can use Skill Deletion twice in 10 minutes.
* If you lose more than 5,000 mana and Skill Deletion isn’t used twice within 10 minutes, the ring will overload and explode. At this time, the wearer will suffer a deadly wound and the ring is permanently destroyed.
* Within 3 minutes of wearing the ring, the ring will disappear if you don’t lose more than 5,000 mana.
* Skill Deletion is only used when the hand wearing the ring touches the desired skill.
* Skill Deletion doesn’t apply to skills with a continuous effect.
User Restriction: Level 300 or higher.
Weight: 0.1
A thin black ring. There were severe restrictions on the use and the conditions were tricky. In particular, Grid’s total mana was only slightly above 4,000. In order to properly use Dark Bus’ Ring, he needed to take mana potions and use skills systematically. It definitely hurt in many ways, but…
‘The performance is excellent.’
He had mastered the use during the process of beating Kamiyan. Grid wore the ring then pulled out small black earrings.
[Dark Bus’ Earrings]
Rating: Legendary
Durability: 55/55
Earrings worn by the 7th Yatan Servant, Dark Bus.
A vehicle to summon a great demon, it has powerful black magic.
There is enough magic power to control the body and mind of the wearer.
* The skill ‘Blackening’ can be used every 12 hours.
* The maximum duration of Blackening is 5 minutes.
*The frequent use of Blackening has the potential to awaken you as a non-human being.
User Restriction: Level 300 or higher. Has a reserve of black magic power.
Weight: 0.1
The conditions of user were simple compared to the ring, but it was dangerous.
‘I don’t mind.’
If he didn’t use it now, when would he use it? There was no point saving it. Grid wore the earrings without hesitation. Then he used the new skill he acquired after reaching level 300.
“Item! Combi!! Nation!!!”
Grid was expecting a cool scene from a movie.
Bam bam bam~ baaaam~
He expected a magnificent background music while the two items fused together nicely. But reality was a gutter.
[Take out your hammer and anvil.]
After the notification window emerged, his body moved and pulled out a hammer and anvil. Then…
[Put the two items to be combined on top of the anvil.]
“…?”
It was a completely unexpected coercion. Grid was baffled. However, he couldn’t afford to waste time. He hurriedly did as the system directed. He placed Lifael’s Spear and Failure on top of the anvil.
At that moment.
[Try to combine Lifael’s Spear and Failure.]
Ttang! Ttang!
His body moved on its own again. Regardless of his will, Grid started hammering the items. Item Combination was a skill where forced motion was applied.
‘I look stupid.’
Squatting and hammering during a battle? What type of skill was this? Grid inwardly cursed.
“This person has become crazy from fear.”
“…”
Elfin Stone treated him as a madman. Even the party members had shame in their gazes. Grid felt embarrassed and like it was unfair. A notification window appeared in front of him.
[Analyzing the time required to combine the items. Please wait for a moment.]
[…3]
[…2]
[…1]
Ttiring~
[The analysis has succeeded! It will take 43 seconds to combine Lifael’s Spear and Failure.]
[Keep hammering for 43 seconds.]
‘This is crazy!’
A chill went down Grid’s spine. He had to hammer for 43 seconds during a battle? Wasn’t it asking the enemy to eat him? Furthermore, the opponent was the strongest boss.
‘This is bad.’
The party members asked the pale Grid.
{What are you doing? Why are you hammering? Did you eat something bad?}
{Grid, no matter how desperate the situation, calm down and act wisely.}
He was treated as a completely crazy person. Grid explained the situation.
{These are the motions of a newly acquired skill. I need you to buy me 40 seconds.}
{…}
The party members frowned. A skill that had forced motions during a battle. It was also 40 seconds? It just sounded like nonsense. However, there was no reason for Grid to be joking. The party members checked on Elfin Stone.
Elfin Stone kept an eye on Grid.
“It’s suspicious.”
The blue greatsword and golden spear emitted a strong aura every time Grid hammered. Elfin Stone was nervous.
“I don’t know what you’re doing, but I won’t let you.”
Kurururung.
Powerful magic started to concentrate on the blood-drenched ground. It was the forerunner of Blood Wave, a magic linked with Blood Field.
“Protect Grid!”
On this cracking ground, the wave of magic power aimed at Grid. Zednos detected this and acted to protect Grid.
“Do you think you can stop me?”
Elfin Stone was overflowing with confidence. He had absolutely faith in himself now that Blood Field was deployed. And the reason for his faith was shown as the magic was deployed.
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
Waves of red magic sprang from the ground and flooded towards the Overgeared members. Vantner used Thousand Shields and Zednos triggered Wind Curtain. The two skills boasted excellent magic resistance, but it wasn’t enough to handle Blood Wave.
Pepeng!
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
“Aack!”
“Ah! I will die!”
Thousand Shields shattered while Wind Curtain was scattered like an illusion. Vantner and Zednos were hit by Blood Wave and fell down. Blood Wave continued despite the actions of the two men.
The goal was Grid. Peak Sword interrupted.
“Draw Sword, Annihilate.”
Seokeok!
The moment Peak Sword drew his sword, light gleamed and crossed Blood Wave. It was possible because Blood Wave’s power was weakened by Vantner and Zednos’ sacrifice.
“Okay! Eek?”
He protected God Grid! Peak Sword’s excited face suddenly distorted with pain. It was because his thighs were pierced by red thorns that emerged at his feet.
“Shit!”
Peak Sword’s movement speed significantly reduced. Elfin Stone moved past him.
“You…!”
Peak Sword couldn’t let him pass and put a hand on his sheath again.
[You have suffered 9,980 damage.]
“Kuaaaaak!”
The notification window was accompanied by intense pain. He wasn’t able to recognize it, but he was hit by Iyarugt.
“It’s natural to kneel before me.”
Elfin Stone checked that Peak Sword was down and got closer to Grid. Grid saw it and checked the remaining time.
[27 seconds until the items are combined.]
‘Should I cancel the skill?’
No, he couldn’t do that now. He would believe in his companions and wait.
“Don’t go.”
In response to Grid’s belief, the duo of Pon and Regas blocked Elfin Stone’s path.
Pepeng!
Pepepepeok!
The spear and unpredictable attacks aimed at Elfin Stone. But Elfin Stone was freed from Lifael’s Spear, so he could avoid their attacks by turning into smoke.
“Shouldn’t you understand the subject?”
Sususuk.
Elfin Stone’s body scattered as smoke before returning to its original form. The location was behind Pon and Regas.
“Ghost!”
The scared Pon and Regas aimed their spears and fists behind them. However, Iyarugt was faster.
Seokeok!
“Keook!”
“Kkuk…!”
The red sword slashed at Pon and Regas’ chest. The two people suffered huge damage and had to take a health potion. However, only 20% of the potion’s effect was applied thanks to the influence of Blood Field.
Pahat!
Faker appeared behind Elfin Stone, who was trying to deal the finishing blow to the duo. Elfin Stone was always hit by Faker’s surprise attack, but now he was different. Faker’s swiftness and stealth were useless in front of the fully powered Elfin Stone.
“Blood Tornado.”
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
Blood winds stirred around Elfin Stone’s body. Faker wasn’t able to attack Elfin Stone and was blown away.
“Too strong.”
Jishuka bit her lip as she fired arrows to cover her companions. Elfin Stone was too strong. She didn’t know how to deal with him.
“Kuhahahaha!”
Elfin Stone ran wild like a fish that met water and finally burst out laughing. He felt great pleasure in knocking down the humans who dared threaten him.
“Now! Only the two of you are left!”
Grid was still hammering and Jishuka was protecting him. Elfin Stone’s gaze was fixed on both of them. Around him were the collapsed Overgeared members. Blood Field was constantly taking their health and they would die within a minute.
“I will eat until I’m satisfied!”
Teong!
Elfin Stone leapt energetically and narrowed the distant to Grid and Jishuka instantly. Jishuka used Multi-shot and Dancing Arrows to try and slow Elfin Stone’s momentum, but it was wishful thinking.
Seokeok!
Blood rose from Jishuka’s smooth shoulders and Elfin Stone finally reached Grid.
“Iyarugt!”
Kiing!
The red Iyarugt responded to Elfin Stone’s call and aimed for Grid. At the same time, the sword emanated an abnormal sharpness that seemed like it would stab right through Grid’s armor.
“This is the end!”
Ttang! Ttang!
Grid was still hammering. Iyarugt was bound to be stabbed into his neck. The Overgeared members closed their eyes.
‘This is the end.’
They didn’t know what the newly acquired skill was, but it wouldn’t work since it took too long to activate. It was over. The Overgeared members were desperate while Elfin Stone was delighted.
[The items have successfully combined!]
The notification window he had been waiting for finally appeared. A smile appeared on Grid’s face.
“Blackening.”
Kuwaaaang!
Black magic exploded.
‘This power…!’
Amazement appeared on Elfin Stone’s face.
Peeeeeong!
The gold-blue greatsword collided with Iyarugt and the earth shook. The ensuing blood that scattered came from Elfin Stone.
Chapter 300
Chapter 300
[The items have successfully combined!]
[(Combination) Failure + Lifael’s Spear]
Rating: Legendary (Transcendent)
Durability: Infinite
Attack Power: 1,100~2,390 Defense: 100
* Agility +100
* Divine Power +400
* Fixed damage of +2,200 on each attack.
* There is a certain probability of activating the ‘Light Wheel’ skill.
* Attack power +30% against those with black magic power.
* There is a certain probability of blocking the enemy’s attacks.
* There is a high probability of activating the ‘5 Joint Attacks’ skill.
* The skill ‘Bisect’ will be generated.
* There will be a fear effect if the enemy is more than 15 levels lower than the user.
* Attack power +30% in dark places.
A weapon that maximizes the merits of the legendary rated ‘Failure’ and ‘Lifael’s Spear (Reproduction)’ after being combined by the legendary blacksmith G.
Conditions of Use: Pagma’s Descendant
* The combination time is 2 minutes.
* This item can’t be traded.
‘Transcendent legendary…!’
The result was more than expected. The performance of Failure + Lifael’s Spear was close to a mythical weapon. It was safe to say that Item Combination was one of Pagma’s Descendant’s ultimate techniques.
‘It is a pity that the combination time is only 2 minutes.’
Anyway, this battle would be decided within a short amount of time. Elfin Stone would either be killed in two minutes, or Grid’s party would be wiped out. This was the only outcome now that Blood Field was deployed.
Grid held the golden Failure. He revealed his power.
“Blackening.”
Kuwaaaang!
Black magic stirred as Grid’s skin became pale and the whites of his eyes turned black.
[Your black magic power has increased.]
[You don’t have any black magic power. It will be replaced with demonic power.]
[While Blackening is activated, your species will change to half-demon.]
[As a half demon, your maximum health is reduced by 50%. Your attack power, magic power and agility will increased by 20% each.]
[All attacks will be converted to the black magic attribute.]
Blackening was a skill that greatly increased his combat related stats in return for half of his maximum health. Grid felt strength boiling inside him. However, his status was a little strange. His heart rate elevated and he had an excruciating headache. it was hard to breathe through the pain in his head.
‘Why?’
A notification window popped up the moment Grid felt doubts.
[Your demonic force and divine power of the weapon opposes each other.]
[The divine power of (Combination) Failure + Lifael’s Spear has doubled the strength of the demonic power.]
[All your attacks will have both demonic and divine power at the same time.]
[Whenever you hit a target with an attack, there is a clash between the demonic power and divine power, causing an explosion.]
[The demonic power will increase the power of Blackening by devouring the divine power.]
[Maximum health will drop by 50%. Your attack power, magic power and agility will increased by 10% each.]
It was an obvious mistake. He was so focused on gaining power to overcome the crisis that he didn’t consider the compatibility of Lifael’s Spear and Blackening.
“Ack…!”
The headache was getting worse. Iyarugt came running at his neck.
Chaaeng!
Failure’s blade had a small blade reminiscent of a shark’s fin attached to it. It blocked Iyarugt’s sword. Grid didn’t intentionally use his swordsmanship, relying on the power of the items.
[The option effect of (Combination) Failure + Lifael’s Spear has been activated in order to block the enemy’s attack.]
Kwaang!
A dark explosion occurred at the point where the two swords hit each other. Both Grid and Elfin Stone suffered damage.
[You have suffered 5,300 damage.]
[You have dealt 15,900 damage to the target.]
It was an explosion that contained demonic and divine power. Unlike Grid who had a certain resistance to both attributes and the Holy Light Armor which reduced magic damage, Elfin Stone was vulnerable to divine power and suffered greatly.
But the result wasn’t good for Grid either. Grid’s maximum health had fallen to 16,000 points, so 5,300 damage was fatal to him. Meanwhile, Elfin Stone’s current health was 4 million. From his standpoint, the damage from the explosion wasn’t that threatening.
However, Elfin Stone didn’t know this about Grid. He thought Grid intentionally caused the explosion and felt a chill.
‘Is this really a human?’
A human manifested demonic power and divine power while exerting a physical ability that was comparable to a True Blood earl. It was both transcendent and strange.
“What the hell is your identity?”
“…”
Grid didn’t say anything. To be precise, he had no room to speak. He was barely maintaining his reason with this severe headache.
“Kuaaaah!”
It was like the roar of a beast. Grid approached Elfin Stone and used Kill. The speed and damage wasn’t comparable to the past. It was a tremendous level. It was a fearful attack. Elfin Stone moved with all his might and succeeded in evading Kill.
