Overgeared Chapter 537:
Chapter 537
Rare treasures, herbs, and various battle gear could be obtained from the dungeon underneath Pangea’s castle . In particular, people coveted the silver thread produced by the armored needles and called Pangea’s dungeon a treasure house . It was a land of opportunity that everyone wanted access to .
Pangea’s knights and soldiers were exasperated by this . The castle’s dungeon was a treasure house? A land of opportunity? It was all crazy talk . The castle’s dungeon was **** . It was the worst place on this earth that was filled with powerful and atrocious monsters .
Today, and tomorrow as well . The knights and soldiers had to go on expeditions to stop the monsters in the dungeon from looking for trouble in Pangea . They risked their lives, and now those seeking riches demanded entrance to the dungeon . A volunteer with no combat skills was just a burden on them . For example, these blacksmiths .
‘These blacksmiths have no shame . ’
Grid and White arrived with Han Seokbong . The blacksmiths who won this year’s competition were enemies in the eyes of the knights . They hated the blacksmiths for coming with such a light heart, while they shed blood in the dungeon . In this cold atmosphere, Han Seokbong’s daughter Sua came forward .
“Father . ”
"Oh, Sua . ”
Sua was a beautiful woman who could be called the first beauty of the kingdom . Moreover, she was gentle, intelligent, and excellent at martial arts . Han Seokbong always boasted about her achievements . She was the captain of the dungeon exploration team, the Red Phoenix Group .
She looked like an actress in a historical drama with her black hair **** with a hairpin and her luxurious clothing .
‘Pretty . ’
Grid couldn’t help admiring Sua . It was very rare .
Who was Grid? He was the husband of Irene and surrounded by the most beautiful women in the world, Jishuka and Yua . He even had a pretty little sister . In other words, Grid was very familiar with beauty . He was a man who didn’t feel inspired when seeing beauty .
But he was overwhelmed the moment he saw Sua . The thick lips and glaring eyes captivated Grid’s mind .
‘There is something mysterious . . . ’
Was it because they were both Asians? Grid compared Sua to Yura, not Jishuka and Irene . Due to her overwhelming beauty, Yura made the surrounding scenery black and white . If she was a blooming flower, Sua was the moonlight . She gave off a cool feeling that made him feel a strange **** . Was it the curves of her white neck?
He couldn’t deny it, but there was something irritating him . There was a sense of disturbance despite her elegance .
‘Maybe . . . ’
Grid realized something . Sua was a similar age to Grid . She was more mature than Yura, who was a few years younger .
‘Won’t Yura change once she matures over the next few years?’
Although her chest was unknown .
‘It will be sad if she gets medical help . ’
Grid was interrupted while thinking useless thoughts .
“Is the expedition prepared?”
"Yes, we do this every day . ”
"I was told by Captain Horang that the speed that the monsters are expanding their area is becoming faster . . . I am very worried about how long the Red Phoenix Group can endure . ”
“We all know that it’s over for Pangea if we fall . Don’t worry . We’re managing the schedule and taking care of our physical state . ”
Han Seokbong and Sua were talking about a heavy matter . Based on the contents of the conversation, the monsters in the dungeon were constantly expanding their area and becoming a threat to Pangea .
‘They can’t ask for help because of the monster community in the north . ’
Then he had a question .
‘What are the yangbans doing?’
They were people were powers that he estimated to be equivalent to legends . In addition, the Hwan Kingdom they belonged to were affiliated with the Cho Kingdom . It was said that Pangea’s Red Phoenix Bow was given to them by the Hwan Kingdom . Based on this, it was interpreted that the yangbans of the Hwan Kingdom would help out Pangea .
‘It would be easy for the yangbans to solve the monster community in the north or the problem of the castle’s dungeon . ’
Then why did the yangbans leave Pangea alone?
'Well, it’s good for me . ’
He could obtain this excellent hunting ground . A huge grin emerged on Grid’s face . He avoided Sua’s eyes . It was because his face would redden whenever he met her eyes . After the disappointment of his first love, Grid became very conscious of the opposite **** .
"Hmm hmm, I want to enter the castle’s dungeon . ”
Rather than Han Seokbong, Sua was the one who responded to Grid’s words .
"Can I ask why you would like to enter the castle’s dungeon?”
Sua gave an oddly bewitching smile . Grid blushed the moment he met her eyes and tried to calmly reply .
“I want to get the silver thread . ”
"Do you know how to obtain the silver thread? Oh, I was impolite . I’m Han Sua, and I’m the captain of the Red Phoenix Group that is in charge of the dungeon exploration . Please forgive me for the late introduction . ”
Sua bowed slightly and reached out to shake Grid’s hand . But Grid couldn’t hold her hand . His ears were red and he avoided looking at her . At this moment, Sua’s black eyes shone strangely .
‘This man . . . ’
It was obvious that he was someone who didn’t have experience with women . Sua thought he was funny . But that was it . She had no private interest .
"I’ve already heard that you have succeeded in restoring the Red Phoenix Bow . Congratulations . I represent the people of Pangea and will pay back this grace . For example, giving you the silver thread as a gift . ”
“ . . . !”
Grid’s eyes shone as he heard he would be given the silver thread as a gift . It was a gift with tremendous value . But the two men had made up their minds .
"No, I will get the silver thread directly . ”
Grid wanted to experience a new dungeon that would give him experience and raise his level . In addition, he wanted to help White get revenge for his father’s death by killing the armored needles . The two men were burning with fighting spirit .
“The only way to get the silver thread is to hunt down the armored needles . But the armored needles are very strong . There are countless people who have lost their lives to this monster . One of them was Dawhite . ”
“ . . . ”
"It is impossible for you to hunt an armored needle when you aren’t a warrior . It’s dangerous even if you go with our expedition . Unfortunately, I can’t allow you access to the dungeon . ”
"Didn’t the lord say I can enter if I resist one attack from the gatekeeper?”
Sua’s expression changed at Grid’s words .
“The gatekeeper isn’t an ordinary person, but a member of the Ung clan . He hasn’t learned martial arts, but his natural abilities surpass the imagination . Do you think you can endure the attack of the gatekeeper that is as powerful as the armored needle? Don’t hurt yourself and give up . ”
‘Ung clan?’
The gatekeeper standing by the well . He was over 2 meters tall and had a large belly . However, he wasn’t obese . It was just that his species was larger than others .
‘Let’s do it . ’
Grid shrugged .
“Don’t worry . I can withstand it . ”
Grid tried to be as calm as possible . However, he was still uncomfortable and couldn’t meet Sua’s eyes . He was extremely conscious of Sua .
Sua scoffed at Grid . ‘The pride of an immature man is useless . ’
This futile pride could drive a person to their limits .
‘He can’t imagine it . ’
Han Seokbong sighed and whispered to Sua .
“This is Pangea’s savior . Can’t you do it this once since your father is asking?”
"I am refusing because he’s our savior . What if his body gets hurt?”
"But look at the armor that he’s wearing . Doesn’t it seem durable? He might not be able to use the armor properly, but at least survival is guaranteed . In addition, tell Ung to use only 30% of his power . ”
“ . . . ”
Certainly, the armor looked really durable . It was armor made by stacking many iron plates sculpted to look like dragon scales . It was a beautiful masterpiece .
"10% is enough . Otherwise he might be unconscious for a few days . ”
"Yes, you thought well . We will let him know not to be too greedy . ”
Nod .
Sua led Grid and White towards the gatekeeper . Gatekeeper Ung . He didn’t care about the lord coming with precious guests . He was yawning while looking at the distant mountain .
“What?”
Sua whispered to Ung, who was scratching his head and looking confused .
“Hit one of them . Use 10% of your strength . ”
“I understand . ”
Ung snorted like a bull and moved his huge arms . At that moment .
"Prepare to move them to the infirmary . ”
Sua commanded the members of the Red Phoenix Group .
Peeeeeong!
Ung’s fist slammed into Grid’s belly . There was a sound wave as the sound of something hitting metal was heard .
“This . . . !”
Sua was stunned . Ung seemed to have used at least 50% of his strength .
“No!”
Han Seokbong paled . The person who restored the Red Phoenix Bow was going to be killed in front of him because he made a mistake .
“What’s the fuss?”
It happened when the Red Phoenix members were making troubled expressions .
Shake shake .
The fist stuck in Grid’s belly started shaking .
“ . . . Huh?”
Han Seokbong, Sua, and the Red Phoenix members were shocked .
‘Why . . . ’
'Ung is making a pained expression?’
That’s right . The big face of Ung was distorting . It turned red and sweat dripped down . On the other hand, Grid was fine . His expression was calm .
‘This is impossible!’
‘This can’t be . ’
Han Seokbong and Sua were amazed . They were expecting his intestines to be ruptured and his bones smashed, but Grid was fine? How solid was his armor? Someone muttered while Han Seokbong and Sua were speechless .
“If he has this much defense, he will be able to save his life when attacked by an armored needle . ”
Grid was permitted access to the castle’s dungeon . But Grid looked troubled . Why?
[You have suffered severe damage . ]
[Triple Layers has reduced the physical damage by 30% . ]
[You have suffered 2,303 damage . ]
Ung’s swinging fist was judged not to be a cut or a stab . It was considerable damage when taking into account that Triple Layers’ 50% damage reduction wasn’t activated . But this was only 10% of Ung’s power . The attack of the armored needle would be several times more painful .
‘Armored needle . . . They are much stronger than I expected . ’
They seemed more like boss monsters than ordinary monsters . If they appeared in large quantities, he would have to stop their attacks as much as possible .
‘It’s hard to operate the God Hands in the narrow dungeon . ’
This was a battlefield where extreme control was needed . Grid became tense . But White was even more nervous . He was extremely shocked when he saw the wound on the man’s hand that struck Grid .
"That . . . I’ll give up today . ”
White thought that he could pay back his father’s enemies in another way . He was a wise man .
