Overgeared Chapter 1312:
Beriache, the great demon of satiation—she peeked at the rules of the world and condemned Yatan . After being exiled, she gave birth to 10 children . She repeatedly warned her children who had great desires like herself .
‘Don’t harm your own blood and flesh . If you covet your siblings’ blood then my aspirations will be in vain . This is a warning . ’
Braham Eshwald was the only child who rebelled against her ultimatum of deep concern . Braham coveted infinite knowledge and tried to overcome the Curse of Sloth . He turned away from the words of his mother, whom he loved and respected .
This was the cause of Braham’s life being plagued by grief and suffering .
‘Would I have met you if the Curse of Sloth still controlled me?’
It was also the beginning of the miracle that led to the meeting of Braham and Grid . Braham didn’t regret going against his mother’s words .
“Sky . ”
The sword dance that declared itself as heaven . As if shouting that he would punish those who doubted and denied him, Grid connected all types of powerful sword dances . Braham’s lips curled up in a happy smile at the sight .
He was happy . He was proud that he had been of some help to this ‘close to complete’ being who was a blacksmith and the Hero King, a person who wasn’t a Sword Saint, but glimpsed the extremes of swordsmanship . A person who also had the qualification to learn magic .
There was a rainbow reflection . Braham was thrilled as he returned the waves of sword dances to Grid using the legendary great magic that reflected all attacks . It was because Grid counterattacked and returned all the sword dances to him . Braham dodged using Teleport and defended his body with Shield . Then he spoke in a rather excited voice, “As you know, I am truly a genius . ”
“Gasp . . . Gasp . . . Yes, yes, you are . ”
Grid hadn’t expected all his sword dances to be reflected . If it was before he obtained Chiyou’s secret technique, he would’ve died just now . It would’ve been impossible for him to react with Flower Revolve . Unlike the gasping Grid, Braham spoke calmly, “However, there were certainly geniuses who were better than me . ”
Mumud and Marie Rose—meeting them placed a terrible curse on Braham . The curse of resenting his lacking talent . Braham sometimes shed tears as he measured their talent against his own . At the same time, he felt great pleasure . He was able to set his goals higher due to the presence of people greater than himself .
“Every time I vowed to go beyond them, my passion swelled like the sun . However, now . . . ”
“ . . . . . . ?”
“I think you can surpass me so my passion is hotter than at that time . ”
“Huh?”
No, what was this? It was honestly too much of a leap that he could surpass Braham . He heard these words after being helpless for five minutes . It must be lip service . . . The frowning Grid suddenly had a thought . Braham, giving lip service? It was impossible **** . Braham didn’t care about others . He was a being who had no experience in pleasing others . All his words were heartfelt .
‘Then will I surpass Braham one day?’
Meteor fell toward the head of the thrilled Grid .
“In about 1,000 years?”
“Aaaack!”
***
How long had it been since he was beaten so neatly? He felt like swearing .
“Groan . . . ”
Grid sat upright the moment his stamina recovered a bit and he recalled the battle . To be honest, he didn’t feel like he made any mistakes . His loss was because Braham was too strong .
‘The strengths if a transcendent didn’t work . ’
Grid’s speed was blocked by Braham’s predictions and his reflexes were counteracted by instant cast magic . Shunpo could originally change the situation with a single use, but it was countered with Teleport . It was like fighting a chariot with a cannon in Korean chess .
‘The biggest problem is that my behavior was predicted . . . ’
It felt like he was dancing on Buddha’s palm . It wasn’t just because Braham was clever . It was because he had lived for hundreds of years and had rich experience in fighting . Grid had been fighting every moment for the past 10 years, but Braham was a character who had been fighting dozens of times longer than him . If Braham was a tiger, then Grid was just a newborn puppy .
‘This doesn’t mean that I can take my defeat for granted . ’
It was natural . If he got used to defeat simply because he lacked talent and experience, then he would face countless defeats in the future . His records of defeat would pile up like a mountain . The enemies that Grid had to face were beings who had existed for at least hundreds of years .
“Don’t get frustrated . ”
Braham smiled as he sat to one side and held his chin . Did he meet a **** or something? Grid had grown so fast that it even gave rise to this absurd idea . He had believed himself to be the strongest and didn’t hide his arrogant and confident spirit, only to be helplessly defeated . Braham expected him to be shocked, but he was surprisingly calm .
“Why should I be frustrated when you are my opponent?” Grid confessed honestly .
His opponent was Braham . He was the strongest magician of all time and had even accumulated divinity recently . He might not have recovered to his prime, but it was natural for him to be stronger than Grid . Didn’t Braham overpower Piaro ‘unarmed’ even before he built up his divinity?
“Rather, I’m glad that I lost to you . I would’ve been shocked if I couldn’t grasp the subject and lost against someone else . ”
Grid fully understood Braham’s desire to fight . Braham wanted to ask the grateful Grid ‘Who will you lose to apart from me?’ but he shut his mouth before he asked . He got up, looked around the library, and inquired, “Of course . You don’t like reading, right?”
Grid once had a reading phobia . It was especially bad in his school days when he lived with textbooks and study papers . He resented the textbooks and study papers that he couldn’t understand no matter how much he read . However, this had changed since Satisfy started . It has been a few years since he was forced to read all types of strategies and encyclopedias, forcing them into his head . He became very familiar with reading .
He replied, “No, reading is my hobby . ”
“Is that so? It is surprising . ”
“ . . . . . . ”
Grid was flustered when Braham said this without scoffing . Just a few years ago, Grid was a fool . Wasn’t Braham the one who called him a stone head? He thought it would be good if Braham didn’t mock him after he said he read . So what was this satisfied expression?
“The stone has fallen off your head . I wanted this to happen and you really made reading a hobby . ”
It happened when Grid glared at Braham who was seriously muttering to himself . . .
The bookshelves filling the infinite library moved by themselves and changed their layout . Soon, a bookshelf came in front of Grid and towered over him .
“Choose one . ”
The dozens of millions of books stored in the library were embodied fragments of Braham’s knowledge . It meant the contents of all the books were different . However, on the outside, they all looked the same .
“What are these books?”
“My magic is written in the books on that bookshelf . ”
“ . . . . . . !”
Braham’s books of magic! Grid’s heart that he had stabilized jumped wildly again . In fact, he had abandoned magic . He could no longer learn magic the moment his second class, Legendary Great Magician, changed to Duke of Wisdom . Still, he hoped that Braham would separately teach him magic . It was just that Braham’s response was so strong despite Grid’s intelligence exceeding 4,000 that he was forced to throw away his remaining regrets .
Now he was freely given the magic books . There were also hundreds of books of magic .
‘If I learn all of this . . . ’
Couldn’t he become Braham’s successor? Grid gulped and pulled out a book . He was about to open it when Braham spoke like he was surprised, “Don’t you have any worries?
“They all look the same on the outside anyway . Does it make sense to worry about choosing?”
The hundreds of books on the bookshelf just had black covers . They were books without titles . It was impossible to tell what it was so he could only pick one at random .
“However, you can only pick one book . Why don’t you think about it a bit?”
“Huh?”
Braham really meant that he could only choose one? Among all these books? Grid made an absurd expression and Braham explained to him, “Unfortunately, you can’t master a variety of magic . ”
“Why?”
He acknowledged it only when his intelligence stat was low . Braham’s enhanced style magic was something that even renowned magicians couldn’t learn . He thought it would be greedy to learn magic from Braham when he only had a few thousand points in intelligence .
However, Grid’s current intelligence was heading toward 5,000 points . Braham said the acquisition condition of his basic magic was 4,000 points so the condition was already met .
“Can’t I learn all the basic spells now?”
“It isn’t a matter of intelligence . It is aptitude . ”
“Are you saying that I’m lacking aptitude?”
Honestly, this sentence wasn’t very pleasant . He had obtained Legendary Great Magician as a second class and then it evolved into Duke of Wisdom . This meant six of his stat points were invested in intelligence every time he leveled up . Yet now he was lacking aptitude? What about all the points that were forcibly invested in intelligence? Grid barely swallowed down his rising anger .
“It can’t be helped because fighting energy is circulating in every passage where mana should be circulating . ”
“ . . . . . . ”
“There is nothing to regret . This has made your sword energy stronger . ”
In fact, Braham’s heart was the same . He didn’t express it outwardly, but Braham had wanted to make Grid his own disciple . He wanted to make Grid a magician like himself . However, what could he do? Grid’s body became a harmony between sword energy and fighting energy and it was no longer suitable for a magician . The only good thing was that Grid’s intelligence had improved considerably .
There were a few passages to circulate mana so even if he couldn’t digest multiple magic techniques, learning magic itself was no problem . Of course, this was only a story for when Braham helped .
“For you, magic will have to be a choice and requires concentration . ”
Magic was a multi-step process, with five to ten steps per technique type . However, Grid could only learn one spell per step . It was a serious disadvantage for Grid if he could only learn ordinary magic . The story was different when it came to Braham’s enhanced magic .
Braham’s enhanced magic created a lot of power with just one magic . Even if Grid only learned one magic, he wouldn’t envy the magicians who had learned 10 .
Braham confirmed it and glanced at Grid . “If you have been guided to that book, then don’t hesitate to open it . ”
“Can I pick something else?”
Grid had chosen the magic book without thinking so there was no choice but to hesitate . Braham smiled at the indecisive Grid . “My knowledge should’ve responded to your shortcomings . ”
“ . . . I understand . ”
At this point, Grid had to understand it . He gave up on his hesitation and opened the magic book . Braham’s eyes shone brightly . “You’ve picked well . ”
