“…..!”
Grid witnessed his appearance. Noe folded his arm and laughed at Grid’s surprise.
“Nyahahat! How is this body’s insight? I am the best demonic beast of hell ong! Nyahahat!”
“Good…! Well done! The best!”
Grid learnt the strategy to attack the 64th island! He once again threw an iron ore to stop Gis’ mining and then used Pagma’s Swordsmanship.
“Link!”
Peeng!
Pepepepeok!
The deep cave. Every time Grid wielded the sword, there was the sound of Death Knight Gis screaming.
“Kiyaaaaah!”
Gis lost his invincibility and his health!
Sticks shivered as he gazed at the sight in the crystal ball with admiration.
‘Figuring out the strategy for the 64th island in only a few hours…!’
The basic condition for attacking the 64th island was ‘mining technique.’ Grid met this condition with his ability to make items. Then by getting rid of the minerals, he shook Gis, who had an inherent ‘love of minerals.’ This resulted in the invincibility being lost. Gis was no longer invincible.
‘Of course.’
Gis was a tanker. He was a legend who boasted the highest defense. Gis might’ve lost his invincibility, but he wouldn’t be so easily damaged by Grid…
“Pinnacle Kill!”
“…It seems easy.”
***
[You have dealt 42,350 damage to the target!]
Grid released Gis’ invincibility with Noe’s help! He immediately used Link but Gis’ defense was amazing. He felt three times more solid than other death knights and wasn’t damaged properly. However, Grid had the skills to penetrate defense. It was Pinnacle and Pinnacle Kill. In particular, Pinnacle Kill completely ignored the defense of the target.
Chukakakakak!
The stab caused Gis to lose a tremendous amount of health! Gis was threatened and immediately counterattacked.
[You have suffered 2,700 damage.]
A tanker’s attack power couldn’t cause serious damage to Grid. Gis’ pickaxe failed to penetrate Grid’s Triple Layers. After losing his invincibility, Gis was just good prey for Grid.
[The hidden passive ‘God’s Command’ has reset the cooldown of Pinnacle KIll. If reused within three seconds, no resources will be consumed.]
“Pinnacle Kill!”
Peeeeeong!
Gis, the guardian of the 64th island who caused a lot of frustration for Grid. He was unable to endure Grid’s onslaught and eventually died.
[You have defeated Death Knight Gis, guardian of the 64th island!]
[The 64th island has been cleansed!]
[As a reward for cleansing the island, you have gained one level!]
[Gis’ Pickaxe has been acquired!]
“Huh?”
Grid felt that the difficulty of the 64th island was very high. Gis himself was weak, but the island was the most difficult to purify since it was almost impossible to find the strategy. If it hadn’t been for a coincidence, this was a place that would’ve been impossible for Grid to clear.
Therefore, he was feeling expectant. The reward would be enormous in proportion to the difficult!
“But…”
The pickaxe was the only compensation?
“Hah…”
Grid sighed and used the Legendary Blacksmith’s Appraisal skill without any anticipation.
Ttiring~

“Wow…”
During the process of digging out Gis’ body from his grave, Pagma took his beloved pickaxe as well?
‘Based on Braham’s words, the more I know about Pagma…’
Well, Pagma’s nature wasn’t important at this moment. Grid just admired Gis’ pickaxe. There was an increase in minerals acquisition rate, it increased the mining skill of the user and greatly increased mining speed. In particular, the increased defense during mining and the invincible buff was great.
‘Can’t it be used to draw aggro?’
Grid was suddenly reminded of Peak Sword.
‘Whenever encountering an enemy, make Peak Sword go and mine minerals…’
It would be convenient to use him as a tanker. Peak Sword’s class was one known for its damage, but Grid had long forgotten this fact. It was because Peak Sword’s activities as a miner since the Hell Gao raid were really great.
***
[You have entered the 65th island.]
Now there were only two islands left. The 65th and 66th islands. Grid would succeed in cleansing the Behen Archipelago as long as he cleared two more islands. He would be the hero who saved the Behen Archipelago, which lost its function for many years.
‘One of the original functions of the Behen Archipelago is the Hall of Fame.’
It was likely that Grid’s name would be stamped on top of the Hall of Fame. It would have a huge symbolic significance.
“Okay…”
Grid’s motivation was overflowing. His reputation was catching up with Kraugel little by little.
Suuk.
Grid started moving. The background of the 65th island was a forest. It was a huge forest with the sound of birds and insects. Grid predicted that the guardian of this dark forest without any sunshine would be the legendary archer Povia. It was because there were many good places to use as sniper points. It was like he expected.
Syuk!
“…!”
The problem was that the sound of the birds was too loud. Grid picked up on the flying arrows too late and couldn’t cope, the arrows precisely piercing Grid’s chest.
[You have suffered 6,993 damage.]
“Kuk…! Is this a godly archer?’
It was massive damage despite wearing Triple Layers that raised physical resistance. Grid recalled the fact that archers had the highest attack power among physical damage dealers and brought out the Holy Light Shield. It was intended to block the flying arrows and to receive less damage.
‘I have to figure out the location first.’
The key was to identity Povia’s hiding place based on the direction of the arrows and then narrow the distance. An archer was weak so he was confident that he could overcome Povia if he narrowed the distance. But Povia was a legendary archer. As long as he had a favorable distance, he wouldn’t make the mistake of exposing himself.
Swaeek!
Puuoooook!
Povia’s arrows fell from the sky like rain, making it difficult for Grid to locate Povia.
“Che… Rain Arrows.”
The skill Rain Arrow fired a large amount of arrows into the sky which would fall towards the target like rain. The strength of this skill was its wide range of attack and that it was difficult to predict. But it also had the advantage of hiding the archer’s position. Grid found it hard to find where Povia was shooting from. The surrounding trees were so high that his line of sight was greatly disturbed.
“Noe! Randy!”
Grid summoned his pets and sent them all over the forest.
“Report to me immediately if you find out where the arrows are being fired from!”
The moment Grid gave the order to Noe and Randy.
Jiing-
Red apple emoticons appeared over Noe and Randy’s hearts.
Puk.
Puk puk!
Arrows flew and pierced the apple. Noe and Randy’s hearts were pierced.
“Nyaang!”
“Kyak!”
“What?”
Grid was upset when he saw Noe and Randy hit the ground. Apple emoticons appeared simultaneously on his face, stomach, heart, lungs, elbow, wrist, etc. It was the precursor of the ‘targeting’ skill.
Chapter 687
Chapter 687
‘Apple??’
Looking at the previous Noe and Randy, the apple effect seemed to mean that he was ‘locked on’ by Povia. It was the moment when Grid’s plan to defeat Povia with Freely Move was ruined.
“An archer has the ability to target from such a long distance…? Che! It completely destroys the balance! Magic Detection!”
Pahat!
Grid desperately felt the need to find Povia’s position quickly and used Magic Detection (Enhanced) He had used Magic Detection steadily every day and it was now level three. Then Braham’s voice was heard.
-An archer’s sniping point isn’t comparable to an assassin. In particular, a legendary archer…
Grid also knew this because he had watched Jishuka from the side. It was as he expected. Magic Detection failed to find Povia!
“Ah, your magic is useless whenever I actually need it.”
-It’s because you are incompetent.
Braham was convinced that if Magic Detection had two more levels then Death Knight Povia would be quickly found.
-That is why I always tell you to train your magic. Don’t create unnecessary underwear.
It had been a while since Grid devoted himself to the tailoring technique rather than magic training. As Braham was sighing at him, arrows poured down from the sky. There were 11 arrows in total. Grid’s response was surprisingly calm.
“God Hands!”
First of all, he tried to block all the arrows falling to the right side using the God Hands and then evade the rest. It was a pretty good move. If Povia used non-targeted attacks, Grid would be able to escape from a large number of arrows with this behaviour. However, Povia’s attacks were targeted and avoiding targeted attacks weren’t possible with the Satisfy system.
Jjang!
Puk! Puuok!
A few arrows were reflected off the shield and the rest hit Grid.
“Kuk…!”
A total of six arrows hit him and he lost more than 40,000 health.
‘Based on the damage, it ignored defense?’
Tong!
Teteteteng!
As five more arrows flew, Grid blocked it with the God Hands and shield and examined the arrows. It was a jaffa arrow.
“Tsk, no wonder why it hurts…”
Grid drank a health potion. The best potion made by Reidan’s alchemy facility filled up his health gauge instantly.
-Aren’t you surprisingly calm?
A huge forest with no sunlight. The lush greenery interfered with vision while the noisy chirping of birds interfered with hearing. Grid was currently in a pretty bad shape. He was confused by the one-sided attack of an invisible enemy and it wasn’t strange to fall into a crisis. Yet Grid was reacting really calmly.
-Do you have a good idea?
Braham’s tone was trying not to sound curious. Grid was confident.
“Even if Povia is a legendary archer, it is impossible to always shoot arrows. Isn’t that right?”
Think about it realistically. An archer who could shoot a massive number of arrows over a large distance, and they were targeted attacks as well? It was obviously overpowered. It was a power that shouldn’t exist.
‘There will definitely be a cooldown on Povia’s ‘lock on’ skill.’
It might be different when still alive, but it was likely that the death knight had a long cooldown.
‘There was one each for Noe and Randy, then five out of 11 arrows for me. The next attack will be non-targeted.’
Non-targeted attacks were often more powerful than targeted attacks. The more powerful the attack, the harder it was to use.
‘I can maximize the power of Revolve here. Then…’
Grid recalled the characteristics of Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Revolve. It had the characteristic of ‘hitting back any form of attack.’ In other words, it returned the attack to the target. Grid guessed that he could take advantage of this part.
‘If I go after the attack that is reflected by Revolve… I will find Povia.’
The ability to return an attack could also be used as a means of locating the enemy’s position. Now Grid was showing real-time thinking. This was a sense that had been raised naturally. Grid felt proud, but wasn’t arrogant.
‘Kraugel would’ve thought of this use for Revolve the moment he got it.’
Every time he grew one step, he felt Kraugel’s greatness more strongly. It was ironic. The closer he got, the further away he felt he was.
‘…Discovering your greatness means I am becoming great as well?’
Clink!
Kraugel was also enjoying a risky adventure somewhere. Grid smiled as he imagined the sight and swung the Enlightenment Sword.
Kuwaaaaaang!
This time, an arrow with a fearsome momentum fell from the sky like a meteorite. It was only one but the impact was enormous. If he allowed this attack… It was likely to be an attack containing fatal power. But Grid wasn’t nervous. He already completed the strongest counterattack and only needed the right timing.
“Revolve.”
Kuwaaaaaang!
The forest tilted. The meteor arrow was swept away by Grid’s sword and caused Grid’s skin to be distorted. Grid waited for a moment.
“Fly!”
He borrowed the power of Braham’s Boots and flew behind the meteor arrow that was returning to where it had been fired.
‘Alarm. Attach to Magic Missile. Three seconds later, deploy in front.’
Yiing-
Spheres of light started appearing around Grid’s side as he flew through the trees.
“There!”
Once Grid descended to the ground, he saw Death Knight Povia hiding between cliffs.
Peeeeeong!
First, the meteor arrow hit Povia, followed by the Magic Missiles fired at the same time. This wasn’t the end.
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship!”
Povia moved sideways to precisely avoid the meteor arrow and Magic Missiles, but Grid fired Link in the direction she was moving.
Pit!
Pipipipipit!
Dozens of energy blades emerged. There was also the summoning of a red lightning bolt and the explosion of black flames.
Kurururung!
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
“…!”
It felt like he was in the midst of a natural disaster. Povia struggled amidst the cliffs that crumbled due to the constant explosions. She fired arrows based on the high agility of a legendary archer.
“Quick Movements! Blacksmith’s Rage! Freely Move!”
Grid’s concentration reached its peak in order to reach the end of the Behen Archipelago. No, his concentration wasn’t at the peak. That power only exploded when he was pressed, like in the fight against Kruger and Gis.
Jjejeong!
Jjeejeeeong!
Grid broke through the rain of arrows, reached Povia and unleashed a series of basic attacks. The Enlightenment Lightning Sword roared in response.
[You have dealt 18,900 damage to the target!]
[You have dealt 20,730 damage to the target!]
[You have dealt 22,500…]
[The option effect ‘Black Flames’ has activated from the Lightning Sword Born from Enlightenment and Strong Desires…]
Kuwaaaaaang!
Overwhelming…! He unleashed a series of Pagma’s Swordsmanship and then God’s Command activated as well. It would break even the iron wall of the Undefeated King.
-Is this enough?
Braham asked from where he dwelled in Grid’s body.
/>
“Amazing…!”
Sticks watched Grid’s battle in the crystal ball and repeatedly expressed his admiration.
Peng!
Pepepepeong!
Povia’s resistance was strong. She struggled against Grid’s onslaught and fought repeatedly. It was very threatening to shoot at a close range and the high attack power caused Grid to fall into a crisis many times.
“Iyarugt!”
Paaaat!
Grid succeeded in passing the first crisis using Doran’s Ring and overcame the second crisis with a health potion and Tiramet’s Belt effect. Immediately before the First King effect kicked in, he grabbed a blood sword and summoned it. An old demonkin appeared beside Povia.
“Sublime Sword.”
Chukakakakak!
“Kiyaaaaack!”
Strong. Braham and Sticks watched Grid with appreciation. Braham could no longer treat Grid as a young person easily handled.
-As expected! This force will be able to threaten a great demon!
“After becoming a hero, reach the seven malicious…!”
[You have defeated Death Knight Povia, guardian of the 65th island!]
[The 65th island has been cleansed!]
[As a reward for cleansing the island, you have gained one level!]
[The Elf Bow Thimble (Made by Pagma) has been acquired.]
[World Tree’s Necklace has been acquired.]
Swaaaaah!
A light shone in the dark forest. The light shone on Gird’s sweaty and bloody face.
“Pant… Pant… Now there is only one left.”
The Behen Archipelago, which had been challenged by the Overgeared members, Kraugel, Agnus, Damian, and Zibal. It was about to be captured by the Overgeared King Grid.
