Overgeared

‘It is so uncomfortable. How did I live without Shunpo?’

Shunpo was restricted. The magic of the three masters that surrounded the city blocked all space movement techniques. Grid felt more uncomfortable than he imagined. It was much harder than when he lost his limbs during battle.

The power of Shunpo was that outstanding. A technique that allowed him to move anywhere within his field of view. There was bound to be a big difference from when he had Shunpo and when he didn’t. In particular, the opponent in front of him was Mir. He was a strong rival who used the speed of the blue dragon by completely embodying the power of the Four Auspicious Beasts.

It was virtually impossible to respond to that speed without Shunpo. His transcendent senses might recognize the attacks that reached supersonic speed, but Grid’s motor abilities couldn’t respond.

That’s right. Mir was faster than before although there was still the premise that the blue dragon’s power should be activated. He felt much faster and stronger than when he fought against Raphael a month ago. This was a unique growth power when comparing it to all the worldview existences that he had witnessed so far.

After all, one of the beginner gods, Hanul made him to be Baal and Raphael’s enemy. Chiyou must’ve been watching Mir with anticipation before meeting Grid. Mir was proving that his potential suited his background.

It was normal for Grid to have no chance of winning. It was right to say that Grid’s defeat was set from the time that Shunpo was sealed. However, there were other things to consider. Grid’s growth rate was comparable to Mir’s growth rate. Additionally, his artificial senses.

Grid contemplated his own limitations and made the peak power of being overgeared. Unlike his transcendent senses, which only recognized an attack, the potential of the power to read the trajectory of attacks was endless. It was possible to grasp the intent and nature of the attack based on the trajectory.

Furthermore, Grid was currently making an item. The patience skill was activated and this increased defense, health, and stamina by 300%. It was somewhat inferior to the legendary miner who became invincible during mining, but Grid’s defense was so high that it had a great effect. Even if he was properly cut by Mir’s sword, he only suffered less than 10,000 damage. It was possible to almost negate the damage by overlapping it with White Tiger’s Posture.

He used the artificial senses to avoid fatal injuries, held on patiently, and counterattacked with the dragon weapon. The strengths of a blacksmith overlapped. Rather, the penalty of completing the item within a set time was turned into an advantage.

“......”

Mir was already wary about the destructive power of the dragon weapon, so he became a bit more passive. He got a strange feeling so he was unable to rashly attack Grid. This allowed Grid to adjust the positions of the God Hands more closely. He used the God Hand controlling the Magic Power Ejection Machine and designed the artificial senses more effectively.

‘I wasn’t mistaken. Just now... he read the attack perfectly. Is it that skeleton’s black magic? Or the vampires’ blood magic?’

Mir was wary of Grid’s pets and subordinates. Their level was all unusual so he naturally doubted them.

‘It is right to kill the pets first,’ Mir judged. He also hoped that Grid would give up and leave in the process of losing the summons. Mir still didn’t want to hurt Grid. At this moment—

“You are buzzing like a fly. Flies will eventually be caught,” Grid opened his mouth. It was a clear provocation. It was an attempt to break Mir’s composure and create a better situation.

Mir took it differently.

‘He is giving me advice even in this situation.’

He was understandable. Mir was the person most clearly aware of Grid’s growth power compared to his own growth power. Mir’s evaluation of Grid was more than imagined. Furthermore, the two of them were mutual benefactors. They owed each other their lives. Mir felt a great liking. It was just that he couldn’t reveal it due to being in different factions. In other words, they didn’t have a relationship of low level provocations. No matter what Grid said or his tone, it was all considered as good intentions.

‘Certainly... I was too obsessed with speed to be vigilant about the dragon slaying sword. I used it incorrectly.’

His first mistake was that he somewhat shrank back in front of the dragon weapon. His second mistake was that he didn’t want to hurt Grid. Mir first decided to understand the situation. It was only disadvantageous for the Overgeared God if he dragged out the time.

Acting sloppy due to useless hesitation would only make the situation worse. He needed to conclude it quickly. He would remove Grid from this land, even if it meant killing him. This was the only way to protect the Overgeared God...

“Sigh.” Mir took a deep breath and his eyes became calmer than usual. He experienced the lineage of the Sword Saint from Muller to Kraugel and awakened sharp, blade-like sensations.

The atmosphere that changed in an instant flustered Grid.

‘It backfired?’

Mir shot forward like a flash of light and appeared right in front of him. He immediately swung the Blue Dragon Dao and the artificial senses in his way were cut without a problem. It literally unraveled like a cobweb. The silver threads that were segmented into particles and connected by magic power were cut. The Sword Saint’s sword that cut all concepts naturally came to mind.

Grid was shocked, but putting aside his shocked heart, his mind was spinning quickly. The moment his artificial senses were cut, he predicted and defended against the attack based on the information delivered. The Blue Dragon Dao interlocked with Gujel’s Dao held on without being pushed. The extreme sword energy supported the Blue Dragon Dao.

‘Hurry.’

Grid’s willpower urged the God Hands to move. Every time a collision occurred, the Blue Dragon Dao accelerated. The form of the swordsmanship was strange. It was a structure that used kinetic energy in reverse so it felt unreasonable.

Grid had no choice but to face it with Link and the fusion sword dances containing Link. He wasn’t confident about keeping up with Mir’s speed unless he borrowed the power of the system. Fortunately, at least the artificial senses were quickly restored. The particles of silver thread and magic power, which were recovered when the God Hand turned off the Magic Power Ejection Machine, once again unfolded the moment the Magic Power Ejection Machine was turned on. Even so, it was cut every time it reached the Blue Dragon Dao, but Mir wasn’t aware of this fact.
