Overgeared Chapter 723:
Chapter 723
[The enhancement has failed . ]
[The enhancement has failed . . . ]
[The enhancement . . . ]
Fail, fail, fail in a row! Grid kept failing in his weapon enhancement . Every blessed enhancement stone was worth 1,200 gold . The Overgeared members started sweating .
" . . . Doesn’t he have a passive that increases the probability of enhancement?”
"That's right . Therefore, every time I need to strengthen an item, I asked Grid to strengthen it instead . ”
Ibellin replied to Vantner . It wasn’t just him . Most of the Overgeared members ran to Grid when they needed to enhance something .
“But looking back . . . ”
" . . . I feel like the probability when Grid enhances it is similar to when I enhance it . . . ”
“ . . . ”
It was a fact that was hard to deny . He had the ‘increased probability of enhancement’ passive and was the first to succeed in the ultimate enhancement, but looking at his total experience, his enhancement ability wasn’t very good . His probability of success wasn’t much different from a regular player .
The reason? Grid believed that the probability of the ‘increased enhanced probability’ itself was bad . Otherwise, it was hard to understand why he was so bad with enhancement . Now the Overgeared members dimly noticed it . The real reason why Grid didn’t do well .
' . . . A **** hand . ’
The Overgeared members’ interpretation wasn’t wrong as another blessed weapon enhancement stone vanished .
Shake shake!
Grid’s eyes were bloodshot as he started shaking . He thought he would cry at any minute . It was natural since a huge amount of money was disappearing into thin air . It was a normal Grid reaction, since he didn’t have money like Katz .
"G-Grid, wouldn’t it be better to take it easier?”
“Do as Toban says . I don’t think this is the time . ”
There were countless myths about enhancement . Many people believed that a particular time or place had an impact on enhancement probability . An average person would give up on the enhancement and wait for a better time . But not emotional people like Grid . Having failed so far, he couldn’t stop the unfounded belief that he would succeed next time . He was too angry to make a reasonable judgment .
"Uwaaaaaah! Let’s see who will win!”
Grid cried at the expense of destroying the enhancement stones while continuing to try enhancing the Enlightenment Sword .
[The enhancement has failed . ]
[The enhancement has failed . ]
There was no reversal . The odds hit Grid in the back of the head as usual . Goosebumps crept over the skin of the Overgeared members as they watched Grid failing continuously .
‘Grid has no luck . We should leave now . ’
'Maybe the probability of enhancing myth rated items is lower than expected?’
Normal items could be enhanced up to +6, while myth rated items had a probability of failure from +0 . In addition, every time an item failed to be enhanced, the enhancement value would drop . This was what Grid and the Overgeared members knew .
Nobody knew the percentage of successful enhancement for a myth rated item . They vaguely guessed that it would be a similar probability to a +7 normal item . But now they realized it wasn’t +7 . The odds were more similar to a +8 enhancement .
"Jishuka, haven’t you already tried enhancing the Red Phoenix Bow?’
Once he saw Grid’s stress, the worried Peak Sword asked Jishuka . His expression was reproachful since she could’ve given Grid information about enhancing myth rated items . Jishuka shook her head .
"I only attempted a few enhancement attempts . ’
“Why?”
It was a myth rated item . It would have explosive growth even at +1 . Why didn’t she try to enhance the Red Phoenix Bow when she knew this? Jishuka explained to the confused Peak Sword with a depressed expression .
“How can I afford to buy enhancement items when I’m so busy paying Grid off?”
“Ah . . . ”
It was rare for anyone to live in this world comfortably . Peak Sword once again realized this timeless truth .
***
* If this bracelet grows to a legendary rating, the wearer can summon Vampire Earl Cray .
* If this greatsword grows to a legendary rating, the wearer can summon Vampire Earl Yetima .
As Grid was drinking a bitter cup of hardships, Euphemina and Chris couldn’t help looking at the information of the bracelet and greatsword they obtained . Items that could summon a vampire lord! Putting aside their performance, Cray’s Bracelet and Yetima’s Greatsword had tremendous value alone as a summoning tool .
That’s why Euphemina and Chris appreciated the fact that Grid gave them the items . They fought together and succeeded in the raid . Didn’t they have the right to claim ownership of the items? Why did they thank Grid? The reason was simple . Grid acted modestly, but he clearly was 1st in this raid . Grid had the strongest right to claim ownership over items . If he claimed the items, Chris and Euphemina could only give up . But Grid didn’t claim ownership of the items . He wanted his companions to use the dropped items more appropriately . This was despite the fact that it was a direct summoning item .
‘As expected, not just anyone can become king . ’
When Chris was leading the Giant Guild, he had monopolized the small number of elixirs dropped in his castle’s dungeon . In fact, most organizations benefited from this structure and Chris thought he was exercising his right as a leader . But Grid was different . He gave a lot of concessions despite being a leader . As a typical example, he created, enhanced, and repaired items for his colleagues .
‘Respect . ’
‘Thank you . ’
There was a strong feeling of trust in the eyes of Euphemina and Chris, who were looking at Grid . Like their other teammates, they knew that Grid had the Qualification of a Blood King title (although they didn’t know it would be promoted) . There was the possibility of him becoming the king of the direct descendants . From Grid’s viewpoint, it was better for him to possess as many direct descendants summoning items as possible . The fact that he suppressed his desires for the sake of his colleagues caused Euphemina and Chris to feel respect . They vowed .
‘I will raise the item rating to legendary . ’
‘Then I will return it to His Majesty . ’
They weren’t just thinking and acting for Grid’s sake . Items could be replaced from time to time . As time passed, it was natural to get stronger items . By the time the bracelet and greatsword grew to the legendary rated, Euphemina and Chris would be armed with superior items .
‘Even if it isn’t the case, Grid will make me a better item . Isn't that right?’
They had faith because the other person was the legendary blacksmith Grid . They thought it was really good that they joined the Overgeared Guild . A wide smile appeared on Chris and Euphemina’s faces .

“It’s better to stop for a while . ”
Laeul said as he came up to Grid, who was still busy strengthening .
Grid just snorted .
"If a man pulls out the radish, he has to slice it . I won’t stop until I use all up the enhancement stones . ”
"What if you don’t have a knife to cut it?”
Lauel who knew Korean better than an actual Korean! He spoke without hesitation and gave Grid a warning .
"I’m worried about the two direct descendants left . ”
“Ah . ”
Grid came to his senses . The two direct descendants who disappeared with Yetima and didn’t return . If one of them came back, the party would be completely annihilated . It was impossible for the currently exhausted party to deal with the direct descendants .
‘I’m relieved that the city’s entrance is open . ’
Grid put the remaining six enhancement stones back in his inventory and told his teammates .
"Let’s leave the city first . Today we’ll rest and tomorrow will be an expedition . . . ”
Before Grid finished speaking .
Peeng!
A **** magic power aimed at Grid’s face .
“Grid!”
The surprised members were still relieved . It was because the God Hands guarded Grid . Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the magic . They saw the earls floating in the sky next to each other .
‘Che, it’s too late . ”
The reason why the direct descendants left Earl Cray earlier was purely to sleep . Lauel didn’t miss this . The possibility of the direct descendants reemerging was very low . He knew that the direct descendants wouldn’t wake up for a long time after they fell asleep . However, Yetima appeared directly after the Cray raid and now the direct descendants appeared after the Yetima raid . Lauel thought that Yetima overcame the sleep because he was the owner of the city . But that wasn’t the case .
"After Cray, you defeated Yetima?”
“They’re insidious **** . We shouldn’t go out alone, so why don’t we hunt half each?”
“It’s a good idea . ”
“ . . . !”
Once the vampires in the sky talked about cooperation, the faces of the Overgeared members paled . Assuming that they were at least Yetima level, it would be impossible to defeat both of them at the same time . In particular, it was hard to deal with both of them at the same time when they were exhausted .
“I will buy time while you run away . ”
Step .
Grid stepped forward . He was ready to die . He planned to sacrifice his life to open the path for his companions . But the plan wasn't needed .
“No . Just retreat . The escape route has already been made . ”
Lauel had secured a retreat route while Grid put on a strong show in front of their colleagues . Grid had a confused expression .
“That . . . Really?”
Grid scratched his head and Lauel reassured him .
"I don’t want to repeat my mistakes . Now, let's go . "
“You! I won’t let you escape!”
The direct descendants followed as the Overgeared members started escaping with Lauel . They tried to narrow the distance to the Overgeared guild members, making full use of their ability to fly . Originally, they would’ve caught up with the Overgeared members . But it was strange .
‘What?’
‘Why is it so hard to catch them?’
The direct descendants couldn’t catch up with the Overgeared members . It was because their flight path was full of stalactites so it was difficult to speed up . It was Lauel’s plan . He had observed the terrain since he entered the city and resorted to this route to block their flying capabilities . Thanks to this, the Overgeared members were able to escape from the city without any sacrifices .
“Good! Well done Lauel!”
“We’re alive thanks to you!”
The sunny desert . The Overgeared members escaped through the city’s entrance and started to praise Lauel .
Lauel covered half his face with one hand and laughed .
“Kuk . . . Kukukuk, the residents of the night are helpless in front of this body, who is master of the darkness . They are small fries . Hut . ”
“ . . . ”
It had been a long time Lauel contributed .
"Hum hum, let’s split up here and gather tomorrow . ”
Grid settled the atmosphere and logged out . It was the same with his colleagues .
“Eh?”
The laughing Lauel realized after a while that he was left alone . He missed Damian and the evil eyes . It was less than two months before the National Competition .
