‘…’
Grid understood what Braham was saying. But anticipating the opponent’s action in real time during a battle, setting the time for the Alarm spell, as well as the attack magic trajectory? Wasn’t it impossible unless it was Braham? Braham assured the embarrassed Grid.
“There is an easier way of using it.”
Tak!
Braham kicked the male rat that was trying to rise and withdrew back. Then he summoned another six Magic Missiles. Four Magic Missiles flew simultaneously towards the charging male rat.
“I won’t take it anymore! Myong!”
The male rat swung its trident in a line.
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
The powerful force struck the four Magic Missiles and destroyed them.
Ssik!
The male rat smiled with satisfaction. As soon as he swung the trident at the four Magic Missiles, the other two Magic Missiles and another six summoned by Braham had already hit him.
Pepepepeng!
“Muoong!
The male rat flew after he was beaten by eight Magic Missiles. Braham shrugged.
“It’s much easier to take advantage of attacks like this and the effect isn’t bad. Alarm magic will be a big help.”
The level of Grid’s Magic Missile was still low. The cooldown was slower than the master level Magic Missile, so it was impossible to use two or more at the same time. But what if he used the Alarm spell? Grid could summon multiple Magic Missiles in sequence.
‘Keep in mind that Alarm can only be attached to magic itself. The distance is also limited. In particular, the Lv.1 Alarm is much more restricted. Well, you will soon know if you use it.”
‘Doesn’t the description say I can use it anywhere?’
“That is a description of the magic itself. Once learned, the level specific explanations will be more detailed.”
‘Um…’
Could he really use it? Braham gave encouragement to Grid who wasn’t confident.
“In fact, it’s easy to take advantage of Alarm.”
“Myooooong!”
The ragged male rat jumped up. Braham looked at the beaten up rat and raised a finger. Then he snapped it. And…
Wiiiiiiing!
“Kyaaaak!”
There was an annoying ringing sound from right next to the male rat’s ear. At that moment, the male rat’s eardrum burst and he sank down, his nose bleeding. It was the ‘forced balance loss’ state that couldn’t be resisted.
‘Making the alarm ring from his body…?’
Wasn’t this a complete scam? It was a perfect disruption. Even a legendary’s passive resistance couldn’t resist it. Braham spoke with consternation as Grid felt admiration.
“Well, to be honest, this can only be done at the master level for Alarm. Lv.1 Alarm should be like this.”
Clack!
Braham snapped his finger again.
Pipipipipi!
The alarm started to ring loudly beside the male rat’s ‘ear.’ Braham fired Magic Missile at the completely wide-open male rat and grinned, revealing his white teeth.
“Does this look good enough for you?”
Braham was filled with pride about the enhanced magic he created. Grid didn’t deny him.
‘Amazing… The best.’
It was huge. A legendary rated magic. A notification window popped up in front of the shaking Grid.
[You have destroyed the Strong Male Rat!]
[205,700,890 experience has been acquired.]
[The Strong Male Rat’s Gallbladder has been acquired.]
[The Strong Male Rat’s Heart has been acquired.]
[5 blessed weapon enhancement stones have been acquired.]
[4 blessed armor enhancement stones have been acquired.]
[Congratulations! You have learned Alarm (Enhanced)!]
[The duration of Assimilation is over.]
[You have regained control of your flesh.]
[Braham’s soul has temporarily dimmed.]
“…Eh?”
It was already three minutes? When he was in school, he used to fall asleep in less than a minute and only focused on class for three minutes. Grid was very upset as his black hair returned. But it was only for a moment. He suddenly realized reality and was overwhelmed with despair.
The Queen Rat. The real boss of the big poisonous rat community didn’t have a single scratch on her.
“Human. You killed my husband. Myang.”
“…Ah.”
Damn Braham. Couldn’t he have killed the queen rat first? Grid confirmed that his mana was depleted and summoned the God Hands to keep the queen rat in check. Then he ran away. First of all, he needed to buy enough time to take two mana potions.
Chapter 521
Chapter 521
[You have taken a high grade mana potion.]
“Shit.”
The alchemy facility in Reidan produced the superior mana potion. If he could take it, Grid would’ve filled up all his mana with only one potion. But the high grade potion only filled half his mana.
‘That Rabbit…’
Before going to the East Continent. When Grid had requested the potion, Rabbit couldn’t raise his head.
‘The potions we have built up over the last few months has been depleted because they were supplied to the Overgeared members who participated in the war. I’m sorry.’
Damn alchemy! He had questioned the value of the facility ever since the ‘coolness’ option was attached to Iyarugt. Reidan’s economy had recovered and was growing, but Rabbit still had an obsession with alchemy.
‘There is little effectiveness and it’s just wasting money.’
However, the higher the level of alchemy, the more types of options that could be attached to the item. It was also possible to produce enhancement stones themselves in the future. Grid had poured a huge amount of gold into the alchemy facility. He couldn’t stop supporting alchemy now. Therefore, he could only hope that it would become useful in the future.
“Myaang! My husband’s enemy is laughing!”
The outraged Queen Rat kept chasing him. Grid ran with all his strength, but the Queen Rat gradually narrowed the distance. Grid stopped thinking and summoned the God Hands.
“Buy me some time.”
The level difference between the hamster couples was generally around 20 levels. The female rats were always at least 20 levels higher than the male rats. Based on the assumption that the Queen Rat was at least level 420, Grid didn’t dare face the Queen Rat head on. He planned to use the newly acquired Alarm spell to create a favorable situation for himself.
Kung!
Kung kung!
The ground shook every time the Queen Rat took a step. He didn’t know how she carried her weight despite her wrists and ankles being thinner than Grid’s.
‘This monster!’
There was the possibility that Grid could be overwhelmed and commanded the God Hands to attack. First of all, he had the God Hand swing the Ultimate Enhanced Mjolnir at the Queen Rat. It was the precursor of infinite stiffness. The Ultimate Enhanced Mjolnir boasted a 100% accuracy rate and struck the Queen Rat’s head hard.
Peeok!
[The Ultimate Enhanced Mjolnir has caused the target to stiffen for 0.15 seconds.]
‘What…?’
Originally, the Ultimate Enhanced Mjolnir caused 0.3 seconds of stiffness. Then what was this 0.15 seconds?
‘Is it a 50% resistance to status conditions? Or is it due to the level difference?’
A chill went down Grid’s spine. The Queen Rat quickly recovered from the stiff and blocked the strikes of the other God Hands with her trident. Then her red eyes glowed as she hit the God Hands.
[God Hand (1) has received a strong shock and has become stiff.]
‘Dammit!’
0.15 seconds was too short. It seemed impossible to cause infinite stiffness to the Queen Rat because she could recover before the other God Hands would link their attacks.
“Myaang
!”
The Queen Rat caused all the God Hands to stiffen and threw her trident at Grid.
Kuwaaaaaang!
It was like a fighter jet was flying. The trident rushed through the atmosphere like a missile. Grid responded instantly.
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship.”
He had to run while waiting for the cooldown time of the potion to be over. How could he take advantage of Alarm to knock down that monster? He actively used his brain and coped with the thrown trident by using Revolve.
Peeeeeong!
The rotated light and trident hit each other.
Puoook!
[You have dealt 190,300 damage to the target.]
The trident was turned around by Revolve and stabbed at the chest of the Queen Rat. The Queen Rat suffered 200,000 damage in one blow, but didn’t slow down at all.
“Muong!”
She pulled the trident out and chased after Grid again with the trident. Grid was able to figure out one feature of the Queen Rat.
‘She will unconditionally use a throwing attack once we’re a certain distance apart?’
If he knew it in advance, it wasn’t difficult to cope with.
Kuwooooh!
The trident made a loud sound like an animal’s roar. Grid confirmed that the cooldown time of the mana potion returned, drank it, and used Blackening and Quick Movements.
Peeng!
Grid disappeared just before the trident reached him. The only thing left in his place were the remains of demonic power.
“Muong?”
The Queen Rat started to explore the area to find Grid. But he wasn’t easy to find. It was because Grid wore the Hooded Zip Up the moment he had escaped. It was only a matter of seconds before the Queen Rat could find Grid, so Grid needed to catch her during this time.
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship.”
Grid appeared in the space where there was nothing. His position was above the Queen Rat’s head.
“Muoong!
The Queen Rat grasped Grid’s position immediately using her excellent sense of hearing. She showed a ridiculous reaction rate. She avoided Grid’s Pinnacle and prepared to counterattack. However, the Queen Rat hesitated before attacking. It was due to the God Hands. The God Hands had recovered from the stiffness and aimed at the Queen Rat with Mjolnir.
‘It’s the end if I kill that human! Myong!’
Then Queen Rat made a decision quickly. She hesitated for only a moment. She ignored the attacks of the God Hands and waved her tail at the enemy human who killed her husband.
Peeok!
Like a bee’s stinger, the sharp tail hit Grid’s face. In return, the Queen Rat allowed a hit from the Mjolnirs and became stiff for a total of 0.3 seconds. At this time.
Sururuk.
Grid flew back after being hit by the tail and changed into Randy.
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship.”
The voice of the ‘real’ Grid was heard behind the stiffened Queen Rat.
“…Myong!”
It was a fake? The Queen Rat’s eyes widened with surprise. She looked just like a hamster! Honestly, the expression was cute. But Grid wasn’t deceived by the outward appearance and connected the skill to the end.
“Linked Kill!”
“Myaang!”
It was too late. 0.3 seconds of stiffness was too short. The Queen Rat was released from the stiffness and avoided the God Hands’ next attacks. She intended to counter the human’s attack. However…
“Muong?”
The Queen Rat was stunned. Didn’t she clearly hear the voice of the human using a skill behind her? Why was there nothing when she turned back? The moment that the Queen Rat was feeling confused.
“Linked Kill Wave.”
Grid’s voice was heard from the sky. That’s right. The real Grid was in the sky. Grid’s voice that the Queen Rat heard behind her was merely a fake recorded with the Alarm spell. As soon as he learned new magic, Grid applied it properly in practice.
Ku kwa kwa kwa kwa! Ku kwa kwa kwa kwa!
The bombardment of black energy blades!
“Kyaaaaang!”
The Queen Rat screamed from the pain. In the interim, the God Hands continued to attack the Queen Rat and Grid took another mana potion. He accumulated Magic Missiles.
‘Magic Missile. Magic Missile. Magic Missile.’
Magic Missile (Enhanced) Lv. 3 could be used once per second. He summoned it every time the cooldown returned and attached the Alarm spell to it. The result.
Kuoooooh.
Right now, Grid was as splendid as the sun as he floated in the sky. There were lumps of white mana around him.
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship.”
“Uhh!”
By now, the Queen Rat had learned the name of Grid’s skills. In the midst of the bombardment of energy blades and Mjolnir, she caught Grid speaking the name of a skill. She used the ‘Maintain Dignity’ skill that was the privilege of the queen who led the big poisonous rats.
Paaaang!
Maintain Dignity was a one-time override threat skill that a few leaders of a species had. The effect was absolute. The energy pouring from the Queen Rat caused the God Hands to stiffen and the Queen Rat rushed forward.
“Myaang!”
The angry Queen Rat’s voice was heard to Grid’s right. This time, it was an attack where she intended to kill her husband’s enemy. But once again, the Queen Rat went hungry. The real Grid was in the sky while Grid’s voice that she heard was a fake caused by the Alarm spell.
“This magic is a scam. Right?”
Ssik!
The Grid in the sky laughed and ridiculed the Queen Rat. The moment that the Queen Rat’s anger soared into the sky.
“Where are you looking, nyang?”
Noe suddenly appeared behind the Queen Rat and swallowed her. It was the activation of Soul Ingestion. The Queen Rat’s highest stat was weakened. The crisis of the Queen Rat started from here.
“Sublime Sword.”
The Queen Rat appeared again with fur wet with saliva. A demon stood in front of her confused self. It was a white-haired old demon.
Sakak-!
“Myaang!”
A swordsman who had even threatened a great demon. The Sublime Sword struck the Queen Rat’s chest. The Queen Rat screamed as she suffered a great deal of damage and Grid in the sky pounced. He fired 50 Magic Missiles as well as Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Pinnacle Kill. Then…
Kuwaaaaaaang!
The past 2 years. The center of the monster community that made the people of Pangea tremble was ruined. It was an extraordinary accomplishment created by a single man passing by the East Continent.

Rating: SSS
The strongest passive attack power skill related to domain and ruling ability.
When using an attack skill, there is a 50% chance to reset the cooldown. Reuse of a reset skill within 3 seconds won’t consume resources.
“Ugh…!”
The mass of notification windows was confusing. Grid dimly grasped that the notification windows contained positive contents. But he didn’t have time to verify the details. The situation was desperate.
‘Shit!’
40 minutes. He had been moving through the community for a long time. Then he consumed his stamina avoiding the Queen Rat’s attacks while tying Alarm to Magic Missile. He freely took advantage of Alarm magic. But the result was the worst.
‘What is this crazy health?’
He had been uneasy since he saw that the stat Noe took from the Queen Rat was stamina. The Queen Rat was a perfect tank-type boss monster and didn’t die even after suffering heavy damage from Grid. She still had two-thirds of her health left. She was a monster with ridiculously high health.
“Pant… Pant… What the hell should I do against this rat?”
His stamina gauge was flashing. It was a warning that if he didn’t take a break right now, he would fall into a state of incapacity. But the monster. How could he rest when a boss monster was right in front of him?
“Noe, can you carry me and bring me away?”
“Nyahahat! I am the best demonic beast of hell! But I am too small to carry Master… Nyang.”
“Kuk.”
The best demonic beast of hell, a memphis. Grid had never once felt envious of other players since acquiring him. But at this moment, he felt envious.
‘I would’ve been able to run away if I had a wyvern.’
The Queen Rat couldn’t fly. If he had a bit more stamina remaining, Grid would be able to get away with Fly.
‘Mana isn’t a problem.’
His mana could be replenished by taking potions, but stamina could only recover naturally.
‘I still lack the ability to manage my stamina.’
There was never an end to learning. While Grid was thinking about his own shortcomings.
