Overgeared

There were various types of gaiters. There were simple ones that wrapped around the calves or ones that covered the pelvis, thigh, and calves. Naturally, the more each side was protected, the higher the defense but the lower the agility. They also required high strength and stamina to wear. If the material used was metal, not leather, the penalty was extreme enough that the wearer should be prepared to be slowed down at all times.

This was because it wasn’t easy to bear the weight on the lower body. This was why most players, except for certain occupations, preferred wearing short gaiters. The Mass Produced Grid’s Gaiters distributed to the Overgeared Army were also short gaiters. Of course, this had nothing to do with Grid.

Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!

Greed was tempered on the anvil. He hammered at Greed mixed with the White Tiger’s Breath and made several hinges first. He intended to create multiple joint parts so that even if they were worn on his legs, they wouldn’t interfere with the movements.

“This is ridiculous...” Blue Tiger marveled as she bit one of the black-gold metal pieces piled up beside Grid. “How can you easily work these metals?”

“Aheung? How is this...”

A toothless tiger cocked his head like he couldn’t understand the Blue Tiger’s response and came forward fearlessly. He grabbed a metal and bit it before Blue Tiger could stop him. The yellow fur rose and the pattern trembled. The tiger shook like he was hit by electricity. The broken dentures fell to the ground.

The tigers saw this process and were astonished.

“A-Aheung! W-What?”

“What happened?”

Thanks to the sacrifice of their companions, the tigers learned how hard Greed was and their eyes grew wide. It was absurd. Greed changed shape every time Grid hammered. It had looked as soft as a rice cake so they had gulped. They hadn’t expected it would be so hard.

Tosun clicked her tongue like they were pathetic. “Stupid tigers. You should’ve noticed it from the time he turned the white phosphorus tree into firewood.”

Even the sacred creatures flinched at the ferocity of the white phosphorus tree. The white phosphorus tree couldn’t be cut easily and would explode as soon as it was touched. Yet Grid used the white phosphorus wood as firewood to ignite the furnace and took complete control of the rough flames.

“The true essence of the God of Virtue isn’t just armed force.”

It was clear that his workmanship was also at the level of a god. Tosun had lived for many years and had interacted with a large number of people. Grid was far superior to the best blacksmiths she had seen. Her analysis was that even the blacksmith who made the items the Four Gods were sealed in wouldn’t be able to reach Grid’s skills.

‘I had wondered about the many battle gear that came pouring down like rain. They were actually the battle gear that the God of Virtue created.’

The battle gear he created would be one of the triggers of his faith...

Tosun discovered a new fact and focused.

Grid tempered Greed and pulled out a bundle of leather. It was leather that was torn apart and seemed to have a bad quality. It was like someone had peeled off the skin of a dead beast with great wounds.

Blue Tiger frowned. “It is lousy leather.”

Since it was said that tigers left their skin behind after they died, Blue Tiger took great pride in her skin. The quality of the leather that Grid pulled out was undoubtedly the worst.

“Are you going to use it?”

“Yes. I will put leather or cloth on the inside to make it feel better and it will be able to absorb the shock from the outside.”

Grid nodded and Blue Tiger growled. “Put that away. I would rather take off my skin.”

A tiger leaves behind their skin after they die. In other words, taking off the skin was a story of death. However, Blue Tiger was a sacred creature. Even if her skin was peeled off, she wouldn’t die and would recover. Of course, there would be so much pain that it might be better to die but she could endure it for Grid.

“Now! Take off my skin! Kuheong!” Blue Tiger cried out in a determined manner. She was willing to make sacrifices for the benefactor who resurrected the red phoenix, freed the Twelve Zodiacs, and brought about the ‘future.’

“Oh? Thank you.”

Grid didn’t refuse. There was no reason to refuse when a sacred creature was offering her skin.

‘It could be better than Berith’s Leather.’

No, it would be better. The sacred creatures were complete half-gods. Even the 22nd great demon who terrorized humanity was inferior to a sacred creature. Grid put down Berith’s leather that was holding, pulled out a dagger and approached Blue Tiger. It was at this moment that he noticed that Blue Tiger was shaking like an aspen tree. He realized that the other tigers were pale and looking at Blue Tiger like she was a madman.

‘Crazy.’ Grid thought it would be easy to remove the skin but it seemed that wasn’t the case. He almost did a cruel act of stripping off an animal’s skin while they were alive.

Grid sighed and put away the dagger. “Stop the insane words. You are also mistaking something. This leather is better than it looks.”
