Overgeared

Taang, taang, taang...

The river of reincarnation—the sound of hammer striking iron resonated in the place where the cries of the souls originally echoed. It was a sound that made one realize that times had changed.

It happened as Black Knight Eligos was immersed in strange emotions...

“...Wait.”

Madra’s soul restrained the soul of King Daebyeol. It was an obstruction that was difficult to understand from the perspective of King Daebyeol.

The disruptor who suddenly started hammering in the middle of battle—he missed the opportunity to beat this arrogant person.

Madra explained it to him, “Pagma is good at deceiving and taking advantage of others. To put it simply, he is an ill-bred bastard. You will be in trouble if you trust the openly exposed gaps he shows.”

“”Huh... How far has my father fallen...?””

King Daebyeol lamented after vaguely sensing that Pagma was a being created by his father, Hanul. He heard Madra’s words and was concerned about how many people were harmed by Hanul’s sin of creating a being who was close to a demon.

“......”

The content of the conversation between the two of them was clearly heard in Kraugel’s ears. Naturally, it was also heard by Pagma.

Kraugel could feel the emotions of Pagma, who was possessing him. Sadness, remorse, loneliness...

But there was no regret. He was certain that his choices and actions wouldn’t change even if he went back to the past. It was the stubbornness of a hero who had already saved the world once. It was a stubbornness that shouldn’t be broken.

“It is over.”

Madra’s vigilance turned into an opportunity. Thanks to this, Pagma succeeded in combining Twilight and the White Tiger Sword into one and entrusted the rest to Kraugel.

“Unfortunately, this is all I can do to help.”

It wasn’t humility.

[Your swordsmanship level is higher than Pagma’s Sword Dance.]

[All the intentions contained in Pagma’s Sword Dance can be fully accomplished with your swordsmanship.]

[Pagma’s Sword Dance is disabled.]

The system judged that it would be a loss for Kraugel to use Pagma’s Sword Dance. It forcibly prevented him from using it. The skills that were so powerful in Grid’s hands were useless...

‘Grid, what type of fights have you been fighting...?’

It was the same with Pagma’s Sword Dance and the Item Combination skill. In both cases, the original skill was far from perfect. They were badly flawed until they evolved in Grid’s hands. Additionally, Pagma’s stats were low. Apart from dexterity, most of the major stats such as strength, stamina, agility, and intelligence were inferior to Kraugel.

It was regrettable even considering the fact that Kraugel had already surpassed the legends of the previous generation. If Grid had stayed as Pagma's Successor, Grid’s peak would’ve been Pagma and he would’ve never been able to achieve the same feats as he did now.

Using this newfound understanding, Kraugel realized that Grid was a greater person than he thought. Grid changed his destiny after crossing his limits several times.
