Overgeared Chapter 663:
[Mana Shield Lv . 6]
When attacked, mana is consumed instead of health . However, only 68% of your defense and magic resistance is available .
When casting a spell, the function of Mana Shield is incomplete . During magic casting, the Mana Shield will be penetrated if more than 30,000 damage is dealt .
* Can be turned ON/OFF without a cooldown time .
These were the specifications of the level 400 Mumud’s Mana Shield . In addition, Mumud was a lich who had close to infinite magic power, so his mana was close to 500,000 . There was something else .
[Mumud’s Knowledge]
Increases magic casting speed by 15% and mana regeneration rate by 30% .
Mumud also had basic skills like this . It was enough to convince Agnus to have Mumud cast high level magic from the beginning of the battle . Yes, Agnus interpreted the present Mumud as an invincible being . Mumud would take 5~7 seconds to cast the high level spell and Agnus thought Mumud would be able to withstand any attacks during that time .
But the result? Grid’s casting speed of the lowest level magic was three times faster than Mumud and the power was enough to penetrate the Mana Shield .
[Lich Mumud has suffered 37,300 damage!]
[Lich Mumud has lost 30,000 mana!]
[Lich Mumud has suffered 7,300 damage!]
'Mumud really received this type of damage from Fireball and Dark Cutter?’
Mumud’s current intelligence was as high as 10,000 . Mumud’s magic resistance was high enough to absorb most damage from the 1st ranking magician . But in front of Grid’s magic, Mumud’s magic resistance was useless . Agnus’ eyes twisted before he laughed .
‘This is Braham’s strength . . . I have to acknowledge it!’
Agnus finally raised his rating of Grid . This was the first player to acquire the legendary class of Pagma's Descendant and then Braham’s power . Agnus decided that Grid’s ‘quest progression’ would be unique .
‘If Kraugel is a genius at combat, Grid has the talent to understand and use the game’s worldview and story . ’
The truth was very different, but Agnus was forced to overestimate Grid . It was because he could only interpret the existence of a person who could use the power of two legends as a bugged player . Agnus shook with thrill . His smile curved from ear to ear as Grid spoke .
"This is a myth rated item, **** . ”
"I . . . tem!”
Kwaaaang!
Grid once again cast Fireball . Before Lich Mumud finished casting the S grade unique magic, Grid was already using his third spell . Of course, from a common sense perspective, the lowest rated Fireball would be no threat to Mumud . It was impossible to get through a lich’s Mana Shield with the lowest rated magic . But the destructive power of Grid’s Fireball was so beyond common sense that Agnus was nervous .
‘Is a Fireball that deals at least 20,000 damage coming again?’
The damage suffered when Fireball and Dark Cutter hit at the same time exceeded 37,000 . Agnus thought that he would suffer 20,000 damage from Fireball alone .
Peeeeeong!
[Lich Mumud has suffered 8,800 damage!]
[Lich Mumud has lost 8,800 mana . ]
‘Huh?’
The power of Fireball was much weaker than before?
‘Was the first spell a critical hit?’
Agnus regained his reason and stood in front of Mumud . It was in order to shield Mumud while the spell casting finished . On the other hand, Grid was suffering .
[The double casting of Fireball and Dark Cutter has failed . ]
‘How rotten!’
Belial’s Staff had a fraudulent option that made Triple Casting possible . But it was an option that could only be used when supported by proficiency . For Grid, it was absolutely impossible to do Triple Casting .
‘Double casting . . . ’
He had to call out Fireball with his mouth and Dark Cutter in his mind, which was difficult for him . The first time he succeeded was purely . . . A coincidence .
'I should grab 100 people passing by and have them try it . ’
Maybe all 100 out of 100 would fail . The difficulty of double casting was high .
'Should I use high level magic?’
The current Grid was wearing almost all his overgeared items . There was Neberius’s Bracelet which increased the wearer’s intelligence by 30 and shorted magic casting time by 20% . The Black Quartz Earrings increased the wearer’s intelligence by 15% . The Ring of Absurdity increased the wearer’s mana regeneration rate by two times and reduced the resources consumed by magic and skills by half . Malacus’ Cloak increased the wearer’s intelligence by 200 and gave off a **** smell . The Holy Light Crown raised his intelligence by 300 and his dignity by 200 . There was also Belial’s Staff .
In order to take full advantage of the power of a magician, Grid pulled out all the products that were effective . In addition, there were the dozens of magic spells that could be used at level 400 . That’s right . The current abilities of the magician Grid weren’t lacking compared to Lich Mumud . He might even be ahead . The reason why Grid only used the lowest level spells was for efficiency . Basic spells liked Magic Missile, Fireball, and Dark Cutter only took one or two seconds to cast, while the casting time increased as the rating went up .
‘It’s too risky to cast long spells when I’m unfamiliar with the magic . ’
Every spell had an antagonistic attribute . There weren’t just simple attack spells, but those that showed all types of functions . The probability of being countered was extremely high, as utilization was unlimited . It meant that a battle involving magic was a psychological war . The only magic that Grid had used was Magic Missile, Fly, and Alarm .
Could the not intelligent Grid fight efficiently using various spells in real time? It was impossible . His opponent was Agnus . He had a lich skilled in using magic . It was highly likely that Grid would be defeated in a psychological war with him .
‘So . ’
Grid planned to take advantage of the option of Belial’s Staff where additional damage would be dealt if he used both fire magic and dark magic at the same time . He wanted to avoid a psychological warfare by using only the lowest level magic, which was close to immediate magic, in order to push Lich Mumud . However, reality wasn’t that easy .
“Fireball!”
' Dark Cut . . . Ball!’
“Fire . . . ! Dark!”
‘Damn!’
It was really difficult to cast Fireball and Dark Cutter at the same time . He was convinced that double casting wasn’t an area for players .
‘This is why . . . The title of a great magician will be the exclusive property of NPCs .
Pepeng!
Peng!
Fireball and Dark Cutter were deployed separately to attack Mumud . The power was so weak that it couldn’t be compared to when cast at the same time . This meant it couldn’t penetrate the Mana Shield . Grid’s nervousness reached the peak .
Kiyaaaaaaah!
Under the protection of Agnus and the Mana Shield, Lich Mumud finished casting his magic . Magic power exploded and headed towards Grid .
“God Hands!”
Grid called out but he had become a great magician thanks to Assimilation . The God Hands were the dedicated item of Pagma's Descendant and didn’t respond to Grid’s call . In the end, Grid had to endure Mumud’s attack with his own strength .
‘What should I stop?’
Mumud cast magic that Grid had never seen before . The power and effects couldn’t be predicted . But it was clearly top rated magic if it took eight seconds to cast .
'I have to unconditionally stop it . ’
Grid quickly pulled something out from the magic list he had checked before . The defense magic list . Among them, there was a spell that exerted extreme magic resistance .
“Anti-magic Shield!”
[Increases magic resistance by 50% for 10 seconds . ]
[Defends against one magic attack . ]
Chwaaaaak!
A pink transparent curtain wrapped around Grid’s body .
Jjeejeeeong!
Like a comet, a flash of glowing light hit the pink curtain . Then . . .
The pink curtain shattered . The prismatic flash that boasted seven colours now had only six colours . A chill went down Grid’s spine .
'Multi-hit magic . . . !’
The flashing prism . It seemed like one spell but it was actually seven types of spells separated by seven attributes .
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
Mumud’s magic flew through the anti-magic shield and exploded as it collided against Grid’s chest . The explosion was so huge that the ground where Grid was standing disappeared like it was hit by a meteorite .
“ . . . ”
“G-Grid . . . ”
Through the dust generated by the explosion, they could see the silhouette of the struggling Grid . He was being burned, frozen, covered with dirt, blown by the wind, pierced by a flash . Grid received different types of damage at once . It was a scene that caused goose bumps .
Lich Mumud . Those who knew about him and those who first came to know about him today . . . everyone was thrilled . This was Mumud’s magic . It was enough to invoke silence on the chaotic battlefield .
“Kukuk . . . !”
How much time passed? Both the viewers and those on the battlefield foresaw Grid’s death as the stillness lasted for a moment or maybe an eternity . Someone’s unpleasant laughter broke the silence . It was Agnus’ laughter .
"Kuhahahahahat!” Okay! Very good! Hahahahahat!”
Agnus sought the pleasures of the moment . He wanted to forget the terrible reality by receiving new stimuli . For example, today’s encounter with Grid was the best .
“You having Braham’s soul . . . It will be the stepping stone for Mumud’s growth!! Kuk! Kukuk! Gridddd! More! Jump further! Give me more!!!”
Peeng!
Pepepepeng!
Lich Mumud aimed a spell at the silhouette of Grid in the dust . Most of the viewers saw this action as the killing shot . It was because the power that Mumud used before was too strong for Grid to recover so quickly . At that moment .
“ . . . Why didn’t I think of this sooner?”
The storm caused by the aftermath of Mumud’s magic . The appearance of the wounded Grid was revealed . Over his left shoulder, 10 fireballs were lined up while there were 10 black blades over his right shoulder . It was like wings of fire and darkness .
“ . . . ?”
The viewers, Ares members, Overgeared members and Agnus didn’t understand the meaning of Grid’s appearance . But Lich Mumud . . .
Flinch .
He was learning . Among the enhanced magic that Braham redefined, it was the second coming of the Alarm magic that showed the most efficiency .
