Overgeared

Three months passed...

‘If I connect Link with Kill, it will help increase the attack power.’

Damian, whose identity changed from the Rebecca Church’s pope to Overgeared God Church’s pope, had grown tremendously over the course of three months. He had already created the two fusion sword dances and he could sense that his fighting power had risen dramatically.

“Ick.”

Pierce with Kill and dig into the gaps with Link.

Damian, who was pressing the field boss with a fusion sword dance also used by Grid, hurriedly set up his shield. The boss’ fist, that had a steel-like wood tied to it like a gauntlet, crushed Damian’s shield. Damian lost his balance due to his bent knees being unable to stand the pressure and literally rolled forward.

Vantner clapped and laughed when he saw Damian crawling under the boss’ crotch. “Haha! It is really unsightly!”

“He just wants to live. What’s wrong with that?” Jishuka scolded Vantner before pulling the bowstring and aiming at the back of the boss’ head. No matter how hard, wood was wood.The wood attribute boss couldn’t withstand the arrows of the Bow Saint filled with the breath of the red phoenix. The boss roared and writhed as it attacked blindly. Damian avoided their blind attacks, hid behind Vantner, and recovered his breath.

‘It’s difficult because I can’t move while the motion of Link is maintained.’

Link was an attack that swung the sword dozens of times in one second. During that one second, the user’s legs must be grounded and stuck to the earth. In order to effectively utilize Link, it was necessary to show such overwhelming attack power that the target couldn’t think of counterattacking, or to have enough defense to ignore the target’s counterattack. It was just like Grid.

Damian had changed classes and his overall stats weakened, so it was difficult for him to properly use Link. He would be in danger if he was hit by the opponent while using Link. In short, it meant he would lose if he was hit. Of course, this was a story when fighting bosses with relatively high specifications. Unfortunately, all bosses of a similar level had higher specifications than Damian.

“This isn’t going to work. I will quit before the next boss.” Damian determined that he was currently unfit to take part in a raid.

It was the laughing Vantner who grabbed Damian, who was leaving the party in order to not cause any inconvenience. “Don’t be like that. Let’s do it together.”

It was the privilege of those skilled in each field to join the raid team. Raid team members exclusively hunted some bosses that respawned across the entire territory of the Overgeared Kingdom. They devoted a certain amount of the items to the guild and received money distributed to them in return. It was a pretty excellent source of income. It allowed them to accumulate money while preventing unique items from leaking outside.

“You are now an Overgeared Guild member. We should make money together.” Vantner persuaded Damian. The other Overgeared members nodded in agreement.

However, Damian refused. “I don’t want to collect the distributed gold without doing anything. I appreciate your kindness.”

It was a matter of pride. It was unacceptable for Damian, who was a famous ranker since the early days, who took part in every National Competition and he served as the leader of a mega-power called the Rebecca Church, to become a so-called ‘distribution freeloader.’

“Tut. You can join at any time. I’ll wait for you.”
