Overgeared

'That magic sword can wreak so much havoc alone?’

A magic sword could only be created by combining the strengths of a magician and a blacksmith. A blacksmith or magician could sometimes produce it alone, but this was a very rare occurrence. Goldhit had experience with producing magic battle gear with blacksmiths.

‘It is difficult to produce such a magic weapon alone.'

There were three types of magic weapons.

First, a magic battle gear imbued with complete magic. In this case, it was possible to consume the user’s mana when the magic was used.

Second, there was magic battle gear enhanced with magic. It increased the magic power of the wearer.

Third, there was magic battle gear containing a pure attribute. It consumed the wearer’s mana while having a certain probability of releasing fire, ice, electricity, etc. It wasn’t very powerful despite being able to express the pure power of an attribute.

The current sword Grid was using was the third type. But the user’s mana wasn’t consumed. The atmospheric mana was used every time flames were released. Thus, the user wasn’t tired and the power of the flames were huge. It was a weapon that would appear in legends.

‘A legendary sword...!’

Goldhit recalled that Grid was Pagma's Descendant. All her nerves were concentrated on Grid’s long sword. It wasn’t made out of an ordinary material.

‘Demonic energy? Don’t tell me?’

The story that Grid defeated the Great Demon Belial was already well known. Goldhit could easily guess what type of material the sword was made out of.

‘A by-product of Belial!’

Definitely. This sword would be worshipped as a legendary sword later on. In addition, it was likely that Grid had made it directly. Goldhit got goosebumps. How many years had it been since she felt such admiration? Looking back on faint memories, it seemed to happen half a century ago.

A dark smile appeared on Goldhit’s face. Her impression of Grid changed. He wasn’t just the beneficiary of enhancement magic. She accepted him as a greater person.

‘In fact, it was like this from the beginning.’

The other person was a legend, the hero of a nation, a person who built a new kingdom and a hero of heroes. Now that her narrow-mindedness due to her obsession with enhancement magic was released, Goldhit had genuine respect for Grid.

'A hero that transcends the era... It is right to greet him politely.’

But.

‘Don’t forget my original purpose.’

Respect and purpose are separate things. She felt respect but she needed to do what she had to do. Goldhit needed to encourage Grid to use enhancement magic. She checked on Grid on the 16th floor and pulled out her trump card.

"Let’s try the lilith guardian.”
