Overgeared

‘There are dozens of divine effects in the sword.’

Judar acknowledged that Grid’s performance had never been inferior to his. In particular, he was wary of Grid’s swords. They possessed all sorts of bizarre functions and were deadly to the body. They were so powerful that they even rendered the shields made of magic and divine power almost useless. In addition, the wounds they inflicted didn’t heal properly.

He now completely understood why the dozens of dragons didn’t manage to overpower Grid. They probably needed a breather every time a blow hit them, having to constantly change those who attacked. Even worse, the narrow space meant they couldn’t take advantage of their numerical advantage at all.

‘I thought that after reaching old dragon-level, I could easily win against Grid since he wasn’t able to beat the old dragons. I was wrong. It was a mistake to leave Asura behind.’

He had regrets, but it was too late for such things.

Now that things had turned out like this, Judar had to overcome the crisis alone. His mind was racing. He learned how to use his power and magic in real time. Since he was an expert at making barriers, he had a plan to utilize them at the right time.

“Produce.”

A translucent sphere appeared in front of Judar instead of around his hands, aiming at the sword dance of the charging Grid.

“Distortion.”

The sword dance was sucked into the dimension and reappeared somewhere else–right behind Grid’s back.

Absurdly, Grid’s sword dance stabbed at himself, the unexpected attack inflicting great damage. However, since he was accustomed to pain, he just smiled softly. He was starting to understand the principle of Judar’s power, or at the very least, a rough outline of it.

‘He deals with dimensions.’

He was able to guess easily because he had witnessed Yura’s Hell Leap skill several times.

‘The reason why skills and items become useless once he touches them is because they are transmitted in a different dimension.’

In many ways, it was an overpowered ability. A real headache to deal with, but it was better than when Grid was feeling frustrated because he didn’t know what he was dealing with.

Grid made up his mind and operated the God Hands, confirming that the moment even one God Hand was transmitted, all the hundreds of God Hands became neutralized. It followed the same principle that all his equipped armor became useless when his sword was transmitted.

‘It isn’t a single target ability, it affects a whole category. However, the skill is only transmitted when touched directly.’

The more he learned, the more amazed he was. Still, this didn’t mean there was no room for him to attack. In fact, he might’ve been helpless if this fight had taken place before meeting the old dragons and Chiyou. Now, his experience of fighting against the strongest existences in the world wasn’t useless.

After releasing the combination of Defying the Natural Order and Twilight, Grid started swapping and using multiple weapons. For example, while attacking with Twilight, he let go of the sword in his hand just before it was transmitted. As a result, Twilight’s classification was changed from ‘equipped item' to ‘possessed item’, causing Grid’s newly equipped weapon and armor not to be transmitted.

[......!]

From the moment Grid started to use dozens of weapons, Judar became flustered because his counterattacks didn’t work properly anymore.

‘Has he come up with a strategy to fight against my power? Experience is such a scary thing.’

Those who were naturally strong relied on their natural strength. Just as human beings naturally walked on two feet, they also ruled with their innate strength.

Meanwhile, Grid was the exact opposite. He started as a weak person and became an Only One God. There were traces of fierce deliberation in every moment of his life.

Judar felt a strange tension as he created a new dimension that surrounded his entire body. The attack range of Grid, who had just replaced his weapon and unfolded the five fusion sword dance, was too large.

Grid started sweating as he watched the sword dance disappear to another dimension. Fortunately, it simply disappeared this time, and didn’t reappear.

‘It looks like it isn’t easy to bring it back after sending it away.’

It appeared that the more precise the use of Judar’s power, the greater the consumption. This could’ve simply been a difference in cooldown time, but Grid decided not to calculate that. Didn’t Haranbeka’s group just fail to calculate Grid’s cooldown time and ended up in trouble?

The battle went on for a long time.

As Judar continued to pour out magic, Grid also had to use a lot of skills.
