Overgeared

gloves are epic rated, but please use them for now.
I will recreate them when I get Emous’ gloves and shoes.

“I understand…” Tiramet was different from Iyarugt.
He equipped the items and stood upright beside Grid.
It was a compliant attitude.

‘Indeed.
I’ve known this since seeing the status window.’ Grid smiled.

As Grid had expected, Tiramet was the perfect pet.
In the case of Iyarugt, he had the stats and the nature of an NPC, while Tiramet had completely changed to the nature of a pet.
Like pets, his summoning time was indefinite.
This was why Grid greatly appreciated Tiramet.
Right now, it was difficult because of Tiramet’s depression and low level.
Still, if he hunted with Grid, then his growth potential was high.
There was plenty of room for him to be the best partner after Noe.

“Please serve me actively.”

“…I understand.
I am honored to serve the master who has the Qualification of a Blood King.”

‘Oh, this is great.’

Grid discovered why Tiramet’s attitude was compliant.
It wasn’t just because Tiramet was a pet.
He was also attracted to Grid’s title.
It was very positive news.
Earl Elfin Stone was the most powerful noble that Grid had dealt with.
Grid felt excited at the thought that he would one day summon Elfin Stone and have that guy be loyal to him.

‘Iyarugt isn’t a problem.’

In the meantime, Grid had entrusted Iyarugt to Peak Sword.
Iyarugt’s poor speech was somewhat annoying, but the main reason was that Iyarugt’s sheath maximized Peak Sword’s power.
Grid had asked Peak Sword to raise Iyarugt by using it until Peak Sword obtained a better weapon.
This was a win-win situation for Grid and Peak Sword.

“Okay.
Let’s go.”

Grid summoned the Overgeared Skeletons, Noe, and Randy and started the full-scale exploration.
As Grid, Tiramet, the Overgeared Skeletons, Noe, and Randy headed deeper in the labyrinth, more and more messengers attacked the party.

Galgunos—he was only the servant of a great demon, but he was a powerful lich.
The statues in this temple released endless amounts of demonic energy, and Galgunos’ messengers exerted an explosive attack power.
They used the demonic energy of the temple as a resource and unleashed attack skills.
However, the firepower wasn’t enough to neutralize Tiramet who had become overgeared.

“Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Link!”

“Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Wave!”

Tiramet was tanking while Grid and Randy attacked the messengers.
The messengers were hit hard, but they were fearless and tried to counterattack.
However, they were interrupted by the Overgeared Skeletons who shot the silver thread from a distance.
Additionally, when there was a chance, they approached and broke bones, restricting the messengers’ actions.

“Punish the intruders!”

The monsters’ fast recovery speed exceeded Grid’s expectations.
While Grid’s party were busy dealing with 20 messengers, new enemies appeared in the rear.
They were messengers wearing robes, not sheet armor.

“This is really…” Grid detected danger.
It was as he had expected.
The messengers in robes were magicians.
They chanted spells, and red magic spheres were formed everywhere with the attack spells aiming at Grid’s party.
It wasn’t a big threat to Grid, but it was different for Randy and the Overgeared Skeletons.
Grid thought that Randy and the Overgeared Skeletons would have their summoning canceled.

‘I wanted to raise their levels as much as possible…’

Then dozens of huge fireballs came flying.
Grid wanted to intercept them with Transcended Link, but he soon realized it was pointless.
An explosion would occur as soon as the fireballs and Transcended Link hit each other.
Randy and the Overgeared Skeletons would have no defense against the splash damage which would occur at that time.
Lauel had said that in order to deal with the ‘intermediate bosses’, Grid shouldn’t waste Blackening or Quick Movements.

This was the moment when Grid gave up on Randy and the Overgeared Skeletons.

[Your pet ‘Noe’ has leveled up.]

[Noe has reached level 100 and acquired a new skill.]

This notification popped up the moment one of the messengers being attacked by Randy and the Overgeared Skeletons died.

“Nyaang!” At the rear of the party, Noe faced the flying magic and suddenly raised his paws.
A lightning curtain appeared in front of Noe.
It was a powerful shield that blocked all the spells shot by the messengers.

“Huh?”

It completely destroyed dozens of spells…? Grid was more confused than the messengers.
Laughter rang out in the midst of the silence, “Nyahahahat! This is a memphis, the best demonic beast of hell…
Nyang…”

The situation was reversed again by Noe’s actions.
Grid entrusted the messengers in front to Tiramet and shot to the rear, using Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Link, to quickly neutralize the magicians.
After that, Grid took care of all the messengers attached to Tiramet before confirming Noe’s status window.
Grid was curious about Noe’s new skill.

[Become Majestic (SSS)]

[Hell’s best demonic beast, a memphis, has pushed the power of the thunder stone to the limit.
A shield of lightning that blocks all attacks will be created for two seconds.

“I love you, Noe.” Grid’s words were sincere.
There was love in Grid’s actions as he hugged Noe tightly and rubbed his face against the fur.
Noe purred like he was happy.
After that…

“Grid, I also raised my level.
You should hug me as well.”

“Y-Yes, Randy.
I’ll do it once the transformation is released.”

Clack! Clack clack clack!

“Overgeared Skeletons, I also congratulate you.”

Grid moved through the temple labyrinth rapidly.
His speed was at least four times faster than Pon, Regas, and Chris who were soloing at different locations in the labyrinth.
The experience gauge of Noe, who had evolved and had his level reset, and Tiramet rose quickly in just half an hour.
Grid’s experience gauge was the same.

It was a moment of regret for the experts who had been talking about the fact that Grid had fallen to the 80th rank in the past year.
