Overgeared

‘Just this?’

Grid was troubled as he walked through the jungle. The Ruins of the War God...

It had been six years since Satisfy was released and a new area opened. Wasn’t it normal for the difficulty level to be very high? To be honest, he had determined that the expedition itself wasn’t possible. Yet once he actually embarked on the expedition, it wasn’t a big deal. There was the universal key, and the work was too easy.

‘Rather, the Galgunos Temple is harder.’

The followers at the ruins were 50 levels higher than the temple followers and had more skills. However, they weren’t threats because they were normal monsters, and they appeared one by one. Rather, he perceived the difficulty of the undead-infested temple as higher.

‘...Indeed. I heard that Galgunos was also revered as a god.’

It was impossible to establish a hypothesis that this place was more difficult just because it was in the Red Sea. Before dividing the world into the West Continent, the Red Sea, and the East Continent, the settings were different from place to place. Dragons lived on the West Continent.

‘Let’s not jump to conclusions.’

The jungle was only one gateway in the ruins. After that, the difficulty might rise significantly.

“Hrmm.”

In the private barracks, Grid was busy thinking as he patted Noe’s fur, which was gradually becoming darker. What item could the Overgeared Skeletons make using their bones? He thought about what to create. The system set up Overgeared Skeleton One to make a sword and Overgeared Skeleton Two to make a helmet, but it was purely Grid’s responsibility to decide the type of sword and helmet. Grid wanted to present the best items for them since the Overgeared Skeletons would use the items for the rest of their lives.

“Ah, it is hard.”

At present, the Overgeared Skeletons could only learn one production method each. This made it harder.

“Nyong.” Noe licked Grid’s hand.

He noticed that Grid’s expression was distorted with worry.

‘A cute guy.’

While Grid was smiling with a warm expression of affection, it happened.

“King Grid!” Lauel ran in and shouted, “Come out for a second!”

Their ears were ringing. At the valley that existed at the end of the jungle, there were 53 large and small waterfalls pouring down in the centre. In particular, there were two very big waterfalls. They were only 30 meters wide, and the water pressure was strong enough to drill a hole in the bottom of the valley.

Therefore, no one noticed the existence of a follower hiding behind the waterfall. It was purely a coincidence that Skunk found him. The two waterfalls collided, and a crack was formed. Finally, the falling moonlight illuminated the follower.

“A follower who mastered 10 secret techniques.”

Some of the 10 meritorious retainers couldn’t gulp. It was hard enough to deal with a follower who had mastered five secret techniques. No one knew how strong one with 10 secret techniques would be. In particular, Vantner had received a great deal of damage from the followers who had acquired the ‘Force Palm’ technique that penetrated through defense. He prayed that the follower who had learned 10 secret techniques hadn’t learned Force Palm.

Grid belatedly arrived at the scene. “How long has he been hiding in there? Is he planning to ambush us when we are off guard?”

To put it bluntly, the follower was an insidious person who was equipped with a named-grade level artificial intelligence. The color of the name couldn’t be seen because of the disturbance of the waterfall and the distance, but it was likely to be a boss monster.

“Since he is still there, he doesn’t know that he has been caught by us?”

“It seems so. From inside the waterfall, the sound of the waterfall will be louder, and he can’t see this side very well.”
