Overgeared

‘Isn’t it a bit unclear?’

Grid smashed the jiangshi’s head and looked at the blood-soaked golden hammer. The Blacksmith Hammer to Go Against the Gods—it was a production item made when competing against Hexetia. The performance was so excellent so the last of the pavranium was left behind in it instead of being used as a material for Greed. The performance was naturally referring to the performance associated with producing items.

The Blacksmith Hammer to Go Against the Gods wasn’t a combat weapon so he was vulnerable. The physical damage was only 870. It had a better attack power than an epic rated weapon but that was it. There was no separate option for enhancing combat power, except for the blessing of the four gods.

It also wasn’t a sword so the passive effect of Grid’s Swordsmanship wasn’t applied to it. Nevertheless...

The jiangshi fell too easily. Grid was just too strong. Grid’s superior stats, various titles, the Weapon Mastery skill that increased the damage of all types of weapons, and being level 405, allowed Grid to easily destroy the steel jiangshi with the hammer. It wasn’t inconspicuous. In other words, Grid was breaking the basic rules he had to follow in this adventure.

‘This won’t work.’

Grid felt the attention of people and swapped items. Rather than the Blacksmith Hammer to Go Against the Gods, he pulled out the Dragon’s Hammer that only had 290 damage.

Peok peok! Peok peok peok!

‘Um, this is just right.’

Grid looked gratified as he defeated the jiangshi at a similar pace to other people. Since the critical damage caused by the ‘Death in One Shot!’ title was too strong, he cheated people’s eyes by adjusting his attack speed.

‘Now there will be no more misunderstandings about being a ranker?’

Three attacks in two seconds—Grid swung the hammer as slowly as possible at the steel jiangshi while glancing at Hera. She was gazing at Grid with envy. After realizing the reason, Grid quickly used a skill he had acquired in the Behen Archipelago.

“Hu, the jiangshi are so strong that I have to keep using my skills, consuming a lot of mana.”

“This isn’t the first time you’re using a skill?”

“I’ve been using it all the time?”

“I-I see. I thought you were just swinging in a basic attack.”

“That can’t be. I am an ordinary person. I guess my skill impact is so ordinary that it is hard to distinguish it from a basic attack.”

‘There is a story.’

Hera thought there must be a story when an unusual person continued to emphasize their mediocrity. She didn’t want to embarrass the other person so she focused on exploring her surroundings.

‘It is definitely near.’

Hera, a doctor, had come to the East Continent to seek medicine. There were a total of seven types of medicine she needed to obtain. Among them, the crystal dandelion roots and the white balloon were said to grow naturally near Pangea. However, she couldn’t seem to find them no matter how she looked...

“Ah!”

They had been moving for an hour but was still far away from the horizon. Hera was just beginning to get tired when her eyes flashed. She found the dandelion petals shining like a transparent crystal. She was concerned about slowing down her benefactor’s pace so she quickly took out tools to gather the dandelion roots. However, there was an unexpected problem...
