Overgeared

The raid that felt exceptionally long had ended successfully. Yura smiled as she shared Grid’s joy and soon sat down. The mental exhaustion wasn’t a joke due to the continuous crises. In fact, she was worried about the high fatigue Grid would feel since he fought Marchosias alone.

‘...Should I show him some cuteness to cheer him up?’

She had been practicing for a long time in case this happened, but, well... she was nervous.

“......?”

Yura puffed up her cheeks and prepared her mind. Then she looked back at Grid and became dazed. It was because Grid was fine. No signs of exhaustion could be found. He looked like a person who slept well and was refreshed after waking up.

It was natural. Grid had the best mental power even when he was an insignificant level 73 warrior. He got lost several times searching for the North End Cave and challenged it again without giving up despite dying dozens of times. No matter how difficult the process, his mental power quickly recovered as long as the raid was successful. It would’ve been the same even if the raid failed.

‘It has been a long time since it has felt so rewarding.’

Grid was smiling. Marchosias was someone who stood up and endured dozens of times. The guy who summoned hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts was a raid opponent that maximized the effect of enlightenment. He was an extremely good punching bag. Grid had gained four levels because it was considered a class-specific activity and he continued to gain experience due to the enlightenment effect. Therefore, he felt it was a windfall.

‘The dropped items are also great.’

The item that Marchosias dropped was the Petrified Shield. Not only was the shield’s defense the best, it also petrified a part of the wearer’s body and strengthened the defense of a specific area by a percentage. Furthermore, there was a high probability of petrifying the target facing the shield, so it wasn’t an exaggeration to call it a weapon as well as the strongest shield.

‘The performance is truly great and is worthy of an item dropped by a great demon.’

He wanted to make good use of this shield. It would be nice to explore the shield techniques for a while.

‘I was already in a good mood because the Holy Light Armor set upgraded. Now something good happened.’

Thanks to Grid’s recognition of Pagma as a hero, the legends of Pagma had become deeper and more widely known. As a result, all the works that Pagma left behind had their rating upgraded by one. Just look at Yura’s magic engineering gun. Wasn’t it showing a power that was incomparable to before? Grid was smiling with satisfaction when a new notification window appeared in his vision. It was a world message...

[The 29th Great Demon, Marchosias, was killed in hell.]

The reason why the message emphasized that the location was ‘hell’ was simple—even Sword Saint Muller had never killed a great demon in hell, and with the exception of Demon Slayer Alex, this was the first time humanity had defeated a great demon in hell.

[This is an achievement of Overgeared King Grid, the Lantern of Humanity.]

[His work that makes the enemies of hell nervous deserve praise from all humans in the human world.]

Then after the string of world messages was over...

[Reputation throughout the continent will rise by 1,000,000.]

Grid was wide-eyed at the huge amount of reputation he gained. It was nearly three times the reputation Grid had built up so far.

‘If it is one million then can’t I do the draw 1,001 times?’

No matter how unlucky his hand, wouldn’t he be able to receive something if he did the lucky draw more than 1,000 times? Grid thought about it before shaking his head.
