Overgeared Chapter 295:
Chapter 295
“…”
As soon as they ran away from the area of Blood Field, a notification window popped up .
[Your party member Huroi has died . ]
The atmosphere was heavy .
“Shit… There is a day when I have to sacrifice my companion to live…”
“This is the result of our lack of power . Let’s take this opportunity to work harder . ”
The party members no longer blamed Grid . They knew Grid hadn’t chosen to abandon Huroi because he wanted to . When they looked at it calmly, Grid’s decision was right . No, maybe it was better . Thanks to Grid’s decision, the rest of the party were able to escape the crisis .
He took the nature of the boss into consideration and created such a situation? It was the day they noticed that Grid wasn’t evolving in just personality and abilities, but in intelligence as well . The present situation wasn’t bad when they thought about it positively .
But Regas was still shivering .
“It would’ve been better for all of us to die, rather than sacrificing someone . ”
Originally, Regas was a sympathetic person who valued righteousness above all else . When Grid was still immature . Regas was the only one who respected and trusted Grid, who was ignored by everyone else . Thus, Grid could understand Regas’ anger . But understanding didn’t mean he could accept it .
“If you have time to grumble, kill more monsters . We now have to clear four buildings in 23 hours . ”
“…!”
Grid’s group took an average of 10 hours to clear a building . This was a lot . The first two days, it took them at least 12 hours to finish a building .
There were many strong vampires in each building . In particular, those with more than two True Blood vampires were particularly dangerous . There were times when Vantner needed to use his invincible skill .
Now Grid declared that the strategy was to spend six hours per building . In particular, the number of people had decreased by one . In a way, it proved that Grid was the most enraged person about Huroi’s sacrifice .
“Look . We’ll be wiped out if we hurry . It will be unlucky if we encounter a party with more than three True Blood vampires, and if there is no rest…”
“Vantner is correct . We should maintain our previous pace . Don’t you know that we can get more hurt if we’re too hasty? Grid, I understand your feelings, but don’t be too irritated . ”
Pon persuaded . However, Jishuka and Peak Sword’s thoughts were different .
“No, we have to do as Grid says . Elfin Stone will come to us again tomorrow . ”
“If Grid doesn’t reach level 300 by then, this situation will happen again . ”
The goal was set .
“More haste and more speed . We have to hurry . ”
Grid entered the new building and immediately aimed Transcend at the ceiling .
Kurururung!
There was a loud sound as the ceiling collapsed and dust covered the place .
Bump!
Kung! Kung!
There were piles of stones .
Kwaang!
Kwang! Kwang!
The coffins in the part of the hall with the collapsed ceiling opened simultaneously . Hundreds of vampires escaped and gazed around angrily .
“Who dares to awaken us from our sleep!?”
“These human scum want to die!”
“No, I want to kill you . ”
Grid held Failure and the Doppelganger’s Greatsword with a cold expression .
‘I am angry . ’
His party members were here to help him with his quest . He was shaken by his helplessness .
“I…!”
Grid led the way . There was no stopping . The red light of the Slaughterer’s Eye Patch shone in the darkness .
“I! I’m going to become stronger!”
Yes, he would become strong enough not to experience this dirty feeling twice . The best! Grid finally had a goal to play this game . What was the one thing he needed? Numerous combat experience, level and senses . As well as the power of items .
“Ohhhhhh!”
Grid entered the middle of hundreds of vampires! In the darkness, Failure and Grid’s Boots became more powerful . Now he was able to fight better than before he arrived in the vampire city .
He had struggled with a large number of enemies all day long and grew more proficient . But he should remain calm at all times .
“Kek! Ugh! H-Hik! Save me!”
“…”
Grid moved like a madman among the vampires and quickly became ragged . The party members had to struggle to clean up his mess .
***
Reidan Castle’s resurrection point .
Pahat!
Huroi appeared with a burst of light . He looked fine considering that his body had been torn apart by Elfin Stone a while ago .
“Pant… Pant…”
Huroi’s breathing was rough . His body was trembling like crazy . He had a strong mentality, but he hadn’t experienced his body being hacked apart before . He breathed out as he shook off the shock and opened the status window . He checked his experience gauge .
‘10%… . ’
The drop in experience was a huge 29 . 3% . From level 200 onwards, the loss of experience after death was in proportion to the level .
‘Fortunately, no items dropped . ’
It wasn’t comforting . The durability of all of his items had dropped by at least 100 points . If Huroi was an ordinary user without Grid, he would’ve had to spend a lot of money on repairs .
“Huroi?”
Lauel ran over to Huroi . He was the busiest person in the guild . Lauel was tired .
“What happened?”
He knew of only two ways to escape from a vampire city . It was to kill the boss or die . There was only one reason for one member of the party to return .
“…You, did you die?”
Huroi nodded at Lauel’s question .
“The boss is too strong . ”
“Please tell me the story . ”
There was no reason to hide it . Huroi told Lauel all the details of what happened in the vampire city . Lauel’s reaction to the story was surprisingly bright .
“Grid used such a method? Haha! Incredible! Grid’s brain wasn’t just a decoration!”
“…”
Lauel was truly jubilant about Grid’s growth . But this choice of words was inappropriate, so Huroi couldn’t help glaring .
***
“Grid’s expedition of the 13th expedition will end in failure . Maybe this time tomorrow, Grid’s party will appear at the resurrection point . ”
The meeting room in Reidan Castle .
Lauel convened the former members of the Tzedakah Guild and delivered the news of Grid’s party to them . The Overgeared members murmured at the desperate story .
Toban gritted his teeth, “I should’ve gone . ”
Toban was a paladin with divine power . He was the antithesis of vampires . But he didn’t take part in the expedition because he was in charge of the yellow mithril mine . There were few people in Overgeared who could manage the workers, so Toban was an invaluable presence .
Lauel waited until the atmosphere calmed and opened his mouth again .
“As you know, pavranium is indispensable for Grid . The more pavranium that Grid obtains, the stronger he will become . So I will send an additional two people to support Grid’s party . ”
Reidan, Bairan, Cork Island . These three territories must be managed so more support was impossible . Just sending two people as support was hard for Lauel . If only two people were missing, Lauel would have to reduce his sleeping time and managing the territory would become more difficult .
Toban declared, “I am going to join . ”
“Nope . Not you . ”
“Ik…! Think about it! I will be the biggest help to Grid’s party right now!”
“I’m aware of that . But now that the number of miners is over 100 people, you can’t leave . ”
“Then what about me?”
It was the human beast, Toon . Lauel shook his head again .
“Not you either . If you leave the guild while the main force is absent, the guild’s attack power will drop to a dangerous level . ”
“Then who are you going to send?”
“Hrmm . ”
Lauel examined the Overgeared members . Including Huroi, there were a total of three people . Who could be a big help to Grid without taking away too much from the territory management?
Lauel struggled before pointing out one person .
“Ibellin . ”
“Yes!”
The flamberge master, Ibellin! He was delighted at being called . For the past few days, he had just been hunting the monsters near the mine .
“The second one… Hah . ” Lauel sighed at the thought . “No matter how I look, there isn’t another useless person like Ibellin . ”
“You bastard!”
Lauel and Ibellin were still rivals from their days in the Ten Rookies . As the two people were fighting, somebody knocked on the door of the meeting room .
“Come in . ”
Lauel called out and a soldier opened the door .
“A guest has come . ”
“Guest?”
What guest would come to the guild?
“Heok . ”
“T-This is ridiculous…”
The Overgeared members were surprised . It was because they confirmed the identity of the guest .
“Nice to meet you . ”
Even the voice was beautiful . White skin and black hair . A slender figure and neat impression that radiated charm . It was her, Yura .
Lauel smiled widely .
***
“Pant pant… Shit, I’m going to die now . ”
The bloodstained Vantner cursed and screamed . The situation was desperate . There were over 100 vampires surrounding Grid’s current party, and there were also three True Blood vampires .
On the other hand, the eight people of Grid’s group were now ragged . Their health and mana was at the bottom and even their stamina was low, so it was difficult to raise a finger . It was the aftermath of hunting without any rest .
“It’s too much . ”
“I wanted to slam my fist into that **** Elfin Stone’s face . It’s too bad I’ll die before that . ”
The party assumed the worst . Even Jishuka, who always encouraged the group, was silent . Grid stared at her chest that moved with every hard breath she took and tightened his grip on Failure .
Kwajak!
He squeezed out all his strength and aimed at the skull of a vampire . The vampires’ aggro fell on him and they simultaneously stared at Grid .
“Crazy!”
“Hey! How can the leader die first? We should be the first ones to die!”
The terrified party members moved towards Grid .
“Pant… Pant…”
Grid didn’t say anything . He kept panting as he wielded his sword towards the vampires . The only good thing was that Lifael’s Spear wasn’t affected by his tiredness and hovered beside him . Grid would’ve died sooner if it wasn’t for Lifael’s Spear .
“Sigh, one last rampage . ”
Vantner was stimulated by Grid and grabbed his shield . He had already consumed his invincible skill and couldn’t even use basic defense skills . Potion? He took them every time the cooldown ended . The other members were the same .
“Die!”
The vampires unleashed an onslaught . The three True Blood vampires were at the center . Vantner wanted to block their attacks with his shield, but he was forced down . The other party members also killed two or three vampires before reaching their limits . They allowed attacks and their health quickly sank to the bottom .
“Jishuka!”
The enemies penetrated through the collapsed front line and aimed at Jishuka . Zednos squeezed out the last of his mana, but the wind failed to be of any help to Jishuka . This was the end .
“Hah… Hah…”
The party members could only await death . Just as the vampires were about to take away the last of their health .
Chaaeng!
There was a splendid pillar of light . It was the signal that someone had levelled up . That someone was naturally…
“You’ve been waiting . ”
It was Grid .
[Congratulations!]
[You have reached level 300 and achieved the third stats awakening!]
[For every point of stamina, health will increase by 25 and defense will increase by 0 . 9 . ]
[For every point of strength, health will increase by 7 and attack will increase by 0 . 6 . ]
[For every point of intelligence…]
