Overgeared

There were wailing walls in every area. It was a field that couldn’t be handled by the average level of players active in that area. Winston’s Chaos Mountains was an example of such a wailing wall. Now...

“Beautiful, it is beautiful.”

At the center of the East Continent was a reservoir that surrounded a huge peach tree forest. It was a place that contained the passage to Heaven and didn’t easily allow people to approach, so it was called a wailing wall. It was also the worst one in the East Continent.

‘Should I fight?’

The moment Grid left the forest, he encountered an immortal ghost and he rolled up the ends of his skirt. He knew it would be a tough fight, so he eliminated anything that would get in the way of his movements.

Immortal ghosts—they dreamed of becoming daoist immortals, but failed and fell. They were beings who lost their bodies and lives due to their failure and moved around as spirits. The grandmaster predicted that the reason why they inhabited the reservoir was purely the Five Seniors’ intention. It didn’t matter if they were daoist immortals or immortal ghosts. They were all just servants for the Five Seniors. They were chosen as a type of guard dog.

“T-The smell of flesh is very good.”

The reason they failed and became an immortal ghost was due to their ugly natures. Additionally, the spirits were driven by instinct and obsession, not reason. It meant they were all wicked. The immortal ghosts were those who showed their ugly faces without any pretenses.

“Y-You are the best among the 266 women I have eaten! Ahh! Ahhh!! I-I want to eat! Eat you right now!”

They were strong because only instincts remained. The immortal ghost deployed all the skills and swordsmanship it had honed during its life so its combat power was explosive. Even the grandmaster had pulled out Saharan’s Sword when three or more immortal ghosts appeared.

“……”

Before visiting the Hwan Kingdom and experiencing Chiyou’s Test, Grid couldn’t fight against the immortal ghost and had to rely on the grandmaster. Grid and the grandmaster’s group were able to cross through the reservoir and reach the peach tree forest thanks to the grandmaster’s protection. However, now...

“Flower Revolve.”

Grid met an immortal ghost alone and chose to fight back without avoiding it. It was like an old painter who cut off his ears seeing an explosion of starlight and moonlight. Dozens of sword energies appeared around Grid and the world swirled. This vortex sucked up the dozens of sword energies from the immortal ghost and eliminated them.

“......?”

Since only instincts remained, it was faithful to emotions. The flustered immortal ghost cocked its head when all the sword energies meant to hunt the human disappeared. At the same time, the momentary silence ended. The sword energies swallowed up by the vortex were returned to the immortal ghost.

It contained more destructive power and curses than before as it swept through the reservoir and flooded at the immortal ghost. The immortal ghost had launched all types of techniques at Grid and it took him only two seconds to return them with Flower Revolve. The immortal ghost quickly took out a talisman, but it couldn’t handle the counterattack. The time was too short.

“Kuoh!”

Plop!

The immortal ghost couldn’t bear the impact and floated back before falling into the reservoir. There was a great ripple as the immortal ghost sank to the bottom of the reservoir until it calmed down again. The immortal ghost wasn’t dead. The ghost submerged at the bottom of the reservoir jumped up instantly and appeared on the surface of the water. It was amazing that it could ignore the pressure of the water.

“S-Shit!”

The dark ghost emerged in the air and its swaying body was like a candle in front of the wind. Spirits were immune to physical attacks and were somewhat vulnerable to daoism. It was even its own daoism.

“Hurts! It hurts!”

The immortal ghost’s eyes were red. It recalled the pain of its former life when it failed to ascend and rushed angrily at Grid through the water. It was someone who wanted to become a sword immortal among the daoist immortals. The immortal ghost’s swordsmanship was more threatening than its daoism. Thunderbolts were created every time its sword was swung and the sky was soon covered with clouds due to the linked actions. The immortal ghost’s swordsmanship was powerful, but unreadable.

‘This is it.’

It was the swordsmanship that confused the grandmaster for a while. Grid had abandoned his spirit of challenge when he saw the swordsmanship that injured the grandmaster’s shoulder. He judged there would be no benefits if he struggled to fight these ghosts who were as powerful as yangbans, yet were classified as monsters, not bosses or NPCs.

However, this wasn’t the case anymore. The immortal ghost he had been reluctant to face now seemed like suitable prey.
