Overgeared

[You have completed the map of the Sword Grave!]

“Good!”

Grid had expected to take at least a fortnight to complete the map, but the schedule quickened thanks to the emergence of the war god follower who had learned two secret techniques. An unexpected crisis turned out to be good luck.

“It is thanks to the increase in my good luck stat. Huhu. I should be renamed as the king of luck.”

Grid smiled as he was reminded of his good luck stat soaring thanks to the elixirs. He ignored the Overgeared Skeletons who were making wistful expressions on the side.

‘Additionally, I was also lucky when falling into Garam’s trap. If this luck keeps up, I can reach the Sword Grave and clear the hidden quest before the National Competition.’

The excited Grid forgot something for a moment. This place was the Galgunos Temple. It wasn’t a safe zone.

“You destroyed my created soldiers! It is hateful!” Galgunos’ roar came from underground, and it shook the whole temple. Grid’s group was alert since they had consumed all their resources while facing the war god follower. Judging that another war god follower was going to appear, they prepared to run.

Grid’s party gulped and took potions while checking the status of their items and skills. Nevertheless, they were meaningless actions. The party didn’t need to be so vigilant. That was because this time, Galgunos’ action...

[Your relationship with Lich Galgunos, subordinate of a great demon, has become hostile.]

[‘Galgunos Imprint’ is engraved on your heart.]

[The first imprint effect has occurred. The imprint is filled with the essence of magic power. You have failed to resist the imprint effect.]

[The first imprint effect has caused death. The imprint has disappeared.]

[Resistance to the first imprint effect has increased.]

[36.7% experience has been lost.]

[The +8 Ideal Dagger has been lost.]

He used his power instead of dispatching soldiers, and Grid’s party died. They were inevitable deaths. Grid’s party gained new information that raiding the intermediate boss of the first floor of the temple would mean ‘unconditional death.’

“Are you okay?”

In the garden of Reinhardt Castle, Grid opened his eyes at the resurrection point and worried about his colleagues first. Death was fatal to Grid, but it wasn’t big enough to cause him despair. Grid’s hunting speed was several times faster than that of other people, so he didn’t need to work as hard to recover the lost experience. The lost item was also easily recoverable unless it was legendary or above.

The Ideal Dagger—it was the item he had made when he first met Euphemina. It wasn’t a big deal for Grid to lose it because he had been using it for 10 years already in Satisfy time, and the +8 enhancement wasn’t that huge. He still had many enhancement scrolls from various rewards on the East Continent. It would be easy for him to enhance an item to +8 as long as it wasn’t a myth item.

However, Chris, Pon, and Regas were different. After dying, they felt desperate. From their experience, the lost experience and items would be difficult to recover. Grid was worried about them.

“We’re fine.”

“Why are you making a fuss? There’s nothing to worry about.”

“Dying is natural while hunting.”

The three men spoke like it was just a trivial thing. Of course, their actual thoughts were different. ‘It will be difficult to reach our goal of gaining one level before the National Competition.’

‘I dropped Lensia. Dammit. I need a new secondary weapon.’

‘Death... My pride...’

However, they didn’t express it. They didn’t want to burden Grid.
