Overgeared

Training the body, honing swordsmanship, and measuring talent. They took pride in their talent until they were sent to the agricultural fields. Then they had a taste of hell. The training that was so severe that it changed common sense seemed to be torture.

Still, they endured it. It was a patience that was possible because they learned from the steadfastness of the ground that embraced the crops that changed every season. It was only by seeking instructions in nature, exercising with the farmers, and following the knight’s principles that they felt the evolution of their talent. It wasn’t until they showed worthy swordsmanship and indomitable faith that they could make a pledge of loyalty. As such, the process of becoming a knight of the Overgeared Kingdom was very difficult. It was only when they had formally completed training as a farmer and knight under Piaro and Asmophel that they could dream of qualifying.

“Gulp.”

The Overgeared Knights Division. The strongest knights division that could form a double wall with the Red Knights of the Empire were so nervous that they gulped. They felt greater pressure than when they fought the war against the Gauss Kingdom or against the great demons.

The senior knight Royman spoke again, “Maintain your tension but don’t be afraid. Fear will cause you to shrink back from the flames.”

“Yes!” The knights responded powerfully and set up their shields. Currently, they were surrounding Grid’s smithy. This was because Grid was making a new sword.

The knights vividly remembered that day a long time ago. On the day when the Fire Dragon Sword was born under Grid’s hands, the huge smithy exploded. It was speculated that even the hot furnace couldn’t withstand the internal heat from the Fire Dragon Sword. After the incident on that day, Administrator Rabbit rebuilt the smithy so it was more majestic and sturdy.

‘It might not be enough.’ Rabbit wasn’t very relieved. He had been serving Grid for nearly 20 years and had seen that Grid’s growth never stopped. ‘His Majesty’s blacksmithing technique should’ve evolved even further. This time, the entire district might explode, not just the smithy.’

If he was asked about the correlation between the development of the blacksmithing techniques and explosions, he would be forced to keep his mouth shut. There was quite a backlash against the fact that half of the knights’ power and 80% of the magicians’ power was used to prepare for the aftermath of this explosion.

However, Rabbit insisted and people couldn’t stop him. Even if it was only 1%, the possibility of there being an explosion in the aftermath of Grid’s new sword being created meant Rabbit couldn’t be stopped. It was the duty of the bureaucrats to protect the nation’s property and people.

Ttang!

In this state where tight tension was maintained, Grid’s hammering was faintly heard. It was already a sound that didn’t stop for three days and nights.

“It will end soon.” The magic tower’s master, Laella, failed to decline Rabbit’s request and had to dispatch the magicians. She muttered to herself as she sat on the terrace of a cafe near the smithy, drinking coffee. Grid would soon be forced to log out due to the limit on connection time. Based on Grid’s pattern, the production of the new sword would soon come to an end. The average time that Grid took to create a new sword was three days.

“We can finally see the finished product.”

Peak Sword sat opposite Laella and laughed as he drank persimmon punch. What type of effect would Grid’s new sword boast? He was filled with expectation and had already been excited for a few hours.

They were laid back, unlike Rabbit. They weren’t concerned about an explosion occurring. The explosion that occurred when making the Fire Dragon Sword was the result of the powerful internal heat from the Fire Dragon Sword. Grid wasn’t creating a weapon of fire beyond the Fire Dragon Sword, so that wouldn’t happen.

‘The weapon that Grid makes this time should be a wind or ice one.’

Peak Sword wanted Grid to make a wind attribute type weapon. The versatility of wind attribute weapons that assisted in ranged attacks and acceleration was demonstrated in this year’s National Competition. Many people were impressed by the appearance of the ranker, Oasis, who was part of Ares’ army and who actively used the wind. Oasis was one of the best rookies at this year’s National Competition.

‘He didn’t even use the Undefeated King’s Swordsmanship.’ It seemed he had no intention of showing the world his true worth yet. Few people seemed to know that Oasis was related to the Undefeated King except for the Overgeared Guild. ‘Even so, he won two silver medals and finished in the top 32 in PvP.’

Oasis’ personal skills were great and the power of the sword that controlled the wind was outstanding. The US media attached the title of ‘New Hope’ to him.

‘He has enough qualifications... well, he is a bit worse than Coke.’

Even if Oasis used the Undefeated King’s Swordsmanship, he was slightly inferior to Coke. Peak Sword thought this, but it was true that he was uneasy. According to the information acquired by the Overgeared Shadows, Oasis had currently acquired up to 70,000 Army Swordsmanship. It was a bit pitiful compared to Grid who could use the 300,000 Army Swordsmanship, but that was a story when compared to Grid. Everyone was equal before Grid. Anyone was a novice when compared to Grid.

“Huh?” Laella made a flustered sound as Peak Sword’s thoughts were drifting.
