Overgeared

Chris faltered from the shock caused by the exchange between him and Grid. His upper body was shaking as he blocked the continuous attacks from Grid. It meant he was being pushed when it came to power.

‘Chris is being pushed back in a battle of strength?’

The waiting room assigned to the participants for the third round. Kraugel was surprised as he sat alone and watched the confrontation between Grid and Chris. He didn’t think a player that could beat Chris when it came to strength existed. It was natural when he thought about it.

‘Chris has a unique strength stat.’

None of them could win against Chris with strength, even Kraugel. Yet Grid won.

‘The more I know, the more amazing he is...’

Every person had a different depth and that depth had a limit. As a person was more and more exposed, their foundations would eventually be revealed. But Grid was the opposite. New and wonderful things were discovered about him every time.

Kraugel was thrilled.

“Maybe...”

Was it possible for Grid to clear the ‘Beat Baal’s Contractor’ quest first? Agnus. Grid might be the only one who could go against the monster that was growing rapidly right now.

Of course.

“That is a story for a distant future.”

Had Grid ever met Agnus? Kraugel was suddenly curious.

***

A general greatsword design had a linear structure. Due to that, a greatsword had a unique wild charm. However, Grid’s blue greatsword was thin like a shark’s fin and there were curved details in every part of the sword. It was more three dimensional and beautiful. If a common greatsword was Rambo X, Grid’s greatsword was PeXri! It was even more powerful. At first glance, it was better than Grid’s Greatsword.

“Why is the name Failure?”

Chris was pushed in attack power.

Jjejeong! Jjang!

Chris’s eyes were shaking sharply as he gradually stepped back while defending against Grid’s attacks. There was a big psychological impact.

‘I can’t be like Kraugel.’

Chris knew he wasn’t perfect, so he dug into one path. It was the path he was most confident in, attack power. He didn’t know about anything else, but he promised to be good with attack power. After receiving the Tyrant second class and Grid’s Greatsword, he was confident he had achieved his goal.

But reality was different. He was pushed by Grid’s items.

“What is that weapon? Why is a greatsword you made more than a year ago better than Grid’s Greatsword?”

Chris had the best knowledge about greatswords. Based on his knowledge and experience, the blue greatsword Grid was currently using was the strongest weapon. Grid explained to the confused Chris.

“Failure is the origin of Grid’s Greatsword. Strictly speaking, Grid’s Greatsword is the mass produced version of Failure.”

“What...?”

Grid’s Greatsword, believed to be the most powerful weapon just two minutes ago, was just a mass produced weapon? Chris gritted his teeth.

“I see. This is why you didn’t strengthen Grid’s Greatsword to +9. There is no reason to invest a lot of money into mass production items.”
