“Huhuhut!”
Thanks to Sword Ghost and the four Mjolnirs all having legendary ratings, his stats had increased by 50 each. The belatedly opened good luck stat didn’t see the benefits, but it wasn’t a big deal.
‘Where is it?’
He wanted to laugh every time he saw the good luck stat.
[Good Luck]
The likelihood of lucky phenomenon will increase.
* The higher the number, the higher the effect.
* Stat points can’t be distributed to this stat.
The lucky phenomenon mentioned here probably meant the probability of positive effects occurring, such as critical hit occurrence, chance to avoid attacks, probability to obtain good items, and probability to enhance an item. Grid felt like he had the whole world.
‘I will become the master of battle, luck, and enhancement in the future!’
Grid believed this with just 1 point in the good luck stat. He was feeling thrilled when Braham asked him a question.
‘Why don’t you raise your intelligence?’
The remaining stat points were irritating him.
“Hrmm…”
Grid was still troubled by it. First of all, should he adjust his strength and agility ratio to 1:1 to become a more powerful swordsman? Or he should invest the points into intelligence to learn new magic from Braham?
‘Isn’t it naturally to raise intelligence? It’s right to learn my great magic first.’ Braham said after reading Grid’s troubles.
Grid would’ve normally ignored it, but this time was different.
‘Certainly…’
Since obtaining the four Mjolnirs, Grid could theoretically cause ‘infinite stiffness.’ The need to be obsessed with high level swordsmanship was gone. He could become more powerful by learning magic and improving his utility.
‘I don’t know.’
Stats distribution couldn’t be reversed. In the first place, Braham’s magic was uncertain. His intelligence needed to be at a minimum of 2,000 to learn basic magic. He couldn’t bring himself to raise it that much.
“Intelligence or agility… I will think about which one to raise some more.”
Should he be a blacksmith swordsman or a magic swordsman blacksmith? The one that was the better choice, he would worry about it after accumulating more combat experience.
The determined Grid entered the nearest building. Blue moonlight shone down through the cracked ceiling in the building. There were hundreds of coffins irregularly placed. Of course, vampires were asleep in the coffins. Hunting would be easier if the vampires could be woken up one by one, but that was impossible. The vampires in the coffin woke up the moment they heard a commotion. n addition, Grid had no intention of such a leisurely hunt. Hunting quickly was the best shortcut for a huge leap in level!
“Okay, shall we begin?”
Grid breathed in deeply and signalled to the God Hands.
‘Start!’
Braham was looking forward to it. How overwhelming would Grid be when slaughtering the vampires with the enhanced weapons! In this solemn atmosphere, Grid started taking action.
“Item!”
‘…?’
“Combi!”
‘…??’
“Nation!”
‘…???’
Ttang!
Ttang! Ttang!
‘…’
Grid suddenly squatted in front of the vampire coffins. It was absurd enough to pour cold water on the serious atmosphere as Grid pulled out the portable furnace and hammered with the God Hands. No, it was beyond absurd. Sitting down alone in the middle of enemy territory?
‘This person really isn’t sane…’
It was a moment of misunderstanding because Braham didn’t know about Item Combination yet. The +9 Failure which had been the best weapon just three days ago and the +7 Sword Ghost were reborn at Grid’s fingertips. It was a blue-black blade that resembled a shark. It wasn’t cool, but the power was fearsome.
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship.”
Suuuk.
Under the moonlight. Grid moved in an impressive manner and performed an advanced sword dance. His eyes that shone in the darkness were sharp and unshaken.
“Linked Wave Kill.”
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
The blue and black energies tangled together. At the same time, a strong explosion shook the earth as energy waves moved in all directions and covered the vampires sleeping in the coffins.
[A junior vampire was destroyed.]
[A junior vampire was destroyed.]
[4,931,000 experience has been acquired.]
[4,915,500 experience has been acquired.]
[An intermediate vampire was destroyed.]
[An intermediate vampire was destroyed.]
[7,054,300 experience has been acquired.]
[6,998,000 experience has been acquired.]
The vampires enjoying their sleep inside the coffins were killed. Dozens of vampires screamed without knowing why. Linked Kill Wave only unleashed a total of 8 Kills, but Grid used the explosion to cause massive splash damage. Grid was filled with joy as he confirmed the quickly filling experience gauge.
“Good! It’s the start of my giant level up!”
‘…Fairly good.’
Braham felt admiration. For vampires, the coffin wasn’t just a bedroom, but a protective tool as well. To ensure their safety while sleeping, the coffins had high durability and gave the vampires high defense. Yet the presence of the coffin was moot to Grid as he killed the sleeping vampires. Braham realized that the combination of weapons and Pagma’s Swordsmanship was more powerful than he thought.
On the other hand.
“How dare a human do this?”
“Our kinsmen!!”
“Rotten bastard! Attacking sleeping vampires!”
The vampires woke up at the noise and were outraged when they saw the situation. Sharp fangs flooded towards Grid. The true blood vampire was at the forefront. He was a noble. The baron grade true blood vampire, Kri. His overall stats were weak, but he had a huge 5,000 agility.
“Insignificant human! I will kill you when you’re unaware!”
Peeng!
Kri used a vampire’s unique blood magic to increase his speed. He was fast enough that Grid couldn’t follow him with the eyes. He approached Grid instantly and wielded his nails that were sharper than a knife. At that moment. The God Hand holding the +10 Mjolnir swung at him.
“Bah! Slow!”
Kri tilted his head slightly to the side. From his point of view, he was avoiding the attack of the slow God Hand. However, it was different from what he intended. The Magic Detection (Enhanced) attached to the Mjolnir pursued him stubbornly.
Peeok!
“Keok?”
Just before his nails pierced Grid’s heart. Kri coughed up blood and paused. The large golden hammer had accurately hit his back.
‘W-What is this?’
Didn’t he avoid it?
‘Why couldn’t I avoid such a slow attack?’
Kri was feeling confused when the rest of the God Hands holding the +7 Mjolnirs hit him in succession.
Peok! Peok! Peok! Peok! Peok!
“Ugh! Eek! Keok! Eek! Ugh!”
[The Ultimate Enhanced Mjolnir has
hit the target. The target will become rigid for 0.3 seconds. The target is a demonkin. Further damage is applied.]
[The +7 Mjolnir has hit the target. The target will become rigid for 0.1 seconds. The target is a demonkin. Further damage is applied.]
[The +7 Mjolnir has hit the target. The target will become rigid for 0.1 seconds. The target is a demonkin. Further damage is applied.]
[The target will become rigid for 0.1 sec…]
[The target will become rigid for 0.3 sec…]
It was perfect. Infinite stiffness! Grid aimed at Kri, who was bleeding from being continuously hit.
“Linked Kill.”
Puk.
Puk puk puk!
“…!”
Kri had been turning his head to the left and right while being beaten by the hammers. He was hit by a powerful stab that penetrated the heart and couldn’t even scream as he died. The cumulative damage from Mjolnir was too great.
[The Vampire Baron Kri has been destroyed.]
[180,909,300 experience has been acquired.]
[The Vampire’s Pajamas has been acquired!]
‘Pajamas?’
It was a doubtful item. However, he had no time to confirm the information of the acquired item. Once the true blood vampire died, the angry vampires went on the offensive. Grid used Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Wave, to hit all the vampires around him and buy time. The God Hands approached the vampires in this gap.
“Kek!”
“Eek!”
“Ack!”
The vampires became rigid whenever they were struck by a golden hammer full of divine power. The stiffness had the effect of cancelling offensive motions and skill casting. Therefore, under the protection of the Mjolnirs, Grid had an absolute area of protection around him. The absolute domain where no counterattacks were possible. It was truly great efficiency. The God Hands consumed no resources. There was no skill cooldown time.
The current Grid. He was unbeatable in close combat. He was able to slaughter all vampires in the 7th city at a rapid pace. It was an ignorant and cruel way of killing with the hammers.
***
“Eh…?”
“W-What?”
The South Korean media and Internet communities around the world fell into chaos. Grid was level 307 last night and now he was level 309.
Chapter 492
Chapter 492
It was exactly 23 hours. Grid had gained two levels.
“What is this…?”
“This is nonsense!”
The world was overturned. The Satisfy experts, journalists, and people all over the world noticed it late. No one could understand Grid’s levelling speed. It was natural. How much time did it take level 300 players to gain one level? The average was 10 days. It was also thanks to the newly discovered hunting grounds. Before that, it took 20 days to gain one level. Of course, this was on a real time basis. This was on the premise that they maintained their hunting time while sleeping.
However, Grid gained two levels in one day. It was a speed that couldn’t be accepted. It broke common sense.
“It doesn’t make sense, even considering the experience buff.”
“But Grid is very big. He’s in a position to use various special items. Who knows? He might be sweeping through the monsters because he made items that greatly increased the speed of hunting.”
“No, that doesn’t make sense.”
The experts calculated it. How could a level 307 user raise two levels in 23 hours? He needed to slaughter monsters that gave at least ‘3 million experience’ at a rate of 1 per minute.
China’s hunting expert, Panda Dagger, held a press conference.
“For a level 307~308 user, they must hunt level 320 monsters to gain 3 million experience from each one. Look at the table I prepared. It has the average health and defense figures of the level 320 monsters revealed to date. As you can see, they have a lot of health and high defense. There’s no need to talk about their combat strength.”
Hunting these monsters in one minute?
“It isn’t possible even for Grid. He might be able to hunt one or two instantly with the ultimate weapon, but he can’t keep killing one every minute.”
Even if it was possible, Satisfy had the concept of stamina. Once stamina was depleted, a user couldn’t lift their fingers. Rankers with high stamina and a fast stamina recovery rate still had to take breaks every four hours when hunting. But Grid didn’t seem to take a break. This was assuming that he killed level 320 monsters.
But what was the truth? Grid also had to rest while hunting. He couldn’t avoid the pressure of consumed stamina. The reason he could maintain such a fast levelling speed…
[A junior vampire was destroyed.]
[4,951,000 experience has been acquired.]
[An intermediate vampire was destroyed.]
[7,254,300 experience has been acquired.]
[A senior vampire was destroyed.]
[11,000,050 experience has been acquired.]
[The True Blood vampire Pok has been destroyed!]
[59,970,111 experience has been acquired.]
In the 7th city, the average level of the vampires was 300~360. Vampires were classified as a top species, so they gave much more experience than monsters of the same level. Among them, the true blood vampires were special. The quasi-boss monsters were generally perceived as difficult to solo raid and gave several times more experience.
This meant that Grid was hunting monsters much stronger than the experts were analyzing. It was also on a per minute basis. Sometimes it was in seconds!
“Nyahahat! Take this super ultra punch from the best demonic beast of hell! Nyang!”
Dok.
Noe’s paws hit a vampire’s forehead. It was a light punch. He called it the super ultra punch. But after a moment.
“Kyaaack~”
The vampire rolled over and screamed. It was because Noe’s claws suddenly swiped his face.
‘Memphis… The great demon’s pet is evil.’
Braham tsked. The memphis declared it was a ‘punch’ to try the opponent.
‘Cute… Truly adorable. Now I know why the great demons value a memphis so much.’
He would like to raise one of his own. The moment Braham thought this.
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship.”
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship.”
“Kill.”
“Kill.”
Puok!
Randy, who copied Grid’s appearance, and Grid used the same skill.
“You!”
The vampires witnessed their kin dying and rushed over. However, they couldn’t easily approach due to the God Hands’ hammers.
“What is this…!?”
Unavoidable hammers! Once hit by one, they were hurt and then hit again. The golden hammers filled with divine power were threatening.
“The kids are too far away. I understand why hunting high intelligence monsters is avoided.”
Grid wanted to increase his hunting speed. But the vampires shrank back from the Mjolnirs and didn’t approach quickly. They used the pillars, stairs, ceilings, etc inside the building as defenses. Grid decided it would take too long chasing them to defeat.
“Assimilation.”
Magic power gathered. Grid’s wide shoulders and thick forearms started to gradually change. His jawline became tapered and his black hair was as white as snow.
[Your class is now Great Magician.]
[The list of available skills has changed.]
[You have lost control of your body for 3 minutes.]
“Fakes with no real value.”
Only the nine vampires directly born from Shizo Beriache deserved to call themselves vampires.
Ssik!
The white-haired Grid laughed and stretched out a hand towards the ceiling. He fired the master level Magic Missile (Enhanced).
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
“Kyaak!”
“Kuaaack!”
The vampires hanging like bats on the c
eiling couldn’t avoid the bombardment of white magic power and fell to the ground. In the midst of the rain of blood and debris, the white-haired Grid shone with a red light. His merciless eyes caused all the vampires in the hall to become frozen.
“Great blood…!”
“T-The smell of nobility!”
It wasn’t a human? The vampires were confused.
Pepeng!
Pepepepeok!
The white-haired Grid wore Malacus’ Cloak, the Holy Light Crown, and the Black Quartz Earrings that increased intelligence by 15%. Intelligence went over 2,000 and the master level Fireball (Enhanced) was fired in all directions. The magical bombardment borrowed the power of the Ring of Absurdity, which reduced all resource consumption by half, in order to display an overwhelming bombardment.
Kurururung!
“Aaaaack!”
The vampires screamed echoed through the burning building. It was the moment that the 7th vampire city was turned upside down.
“What?”
“The enemy is invading!!”
The 13 buildings scattered throughout the city. Once the commotion was heard, all the vampires woke up and poured out of the buildings. There were thousands of them. Grid barely secured his safety in the midst of the ruined building and his eyes widened.
“Wow…”
Thousands of vampires covered the city! The duration of Assimilation ended as Grid was thinking.
“What is this…? This is crazy! Why don’t you act moderately!?” He wanted to speed up his hunting, but not to this extent. “Why did you destroy the building?”
Grid shouted towards Braham, who carefully asked, ‘Are you unable to deal with it?’
Grid replied immediately.
“Of course! Damn!”
Dealing with thousands of vampires at once? This was Grid, not Kraugel. No, even Kraugel couldn’t deal with this situation alone.
‘I’m sorry.’
“Aish! Let’s move to a narrow place!”
Grid used the ‘absolute protection’ made by the God Hands and quickly ran away.
“Kahahahat!”
“It’s fun to watch the little bug running away!”
The vampires were excited about seeing prey after a long time and chased him. Their sharp nails and fangs aimed for Grid.
Chaaeng!
Chaeeeeeng!
“What…!”
The hands of a legendary blacksmith. The God Hands skillfully swung the hammers and blocked most of the vampires’ attacks. But the problem was magic. Mjolnir couldn’t block magic.
