Were the details right?

... Grids silence lasted a long while. He couldnt accept the second class list of the Overgeared Skeletons in front of him. Was this a dream or reality? The boundaries were ambiguous and difficult to distinguish. Grid was blank like he had a lock on his mind, only to belatedly regain his spirit. He tried to analyze the cause of this absurdity.

I made the Overgeared Skeletons mine several times.

In Grids memories, he had only occasionally used the Overgeared Skeletons for mining when he was lacking labor. The number of times was small enough to be counted on one hand. Following the first advancement class list, he couldnt believe there was a miner option in the second advancement class list.

...This was naturally Grids subjective memory. At one time, the Overgeared Skeletons were forced to go mining when they were summoned. In particular, it had happened when their levels were low and they were too weak to be useful for hunting.

Cough... Yes. Lets say they acquired the mining skill because I made them mine 100 times. And the clown and dancer options are due to their basic habits of laughing and dancing.

Yes, the causes of these three classes were understandable. It was encouraging that the classes of swordsman and mage had also opened. Overgeared Skeleton One watched Grids swordsmanship and Overgeared Skeleton Two watched Grids magic, leaving room for increased strength.

Its fine. Its fine...

...By the way, what was a dancing blacksmith? He couldnt comprehend this even if he conceded 100 times. It was purely absurd.

Did you dance while I was doing blacksmithing? Eh? How can I believe this?

It was natural for the Overgeared Skeletons to open the blacksmithing path. Their master was a blacksmith and they had observed him working many times. However, it wasnt just a blacksmith. It was a blacksmith with the word dancing attached...?

I wouldnt worry if it was dancing swordsman or dancing mage.

Thats right. The modifier being attached wasnt the problem. Rather, it was good. The problem was that the attached position was wrong.

I want the proper combat power for the second class but...

Grid originally wanted to pick the swordsman and mage for the Overgeared Skeletons. Unfortunately, Grid was well aware of the power of a modifier. The more modifiers an item had, the more powerful and useful it was. A dancing smith was likely to be a class with high potential. Of course, the combat power was low.

Giving up the class with a modifier for the ordinary swordsman and magician might give me a feeling of loss...

Grid was struggling with this and asked Braham, Braham, what do you think?

He didnt expect to get an answer though. Brahams soul was in a very weak state, so he was sleeping almost all the time. Grid thought he would be asleep once again, but Braham woke up at the right time.

-It is better to make them a dancing smith.

Brahams reasoning made sense.

-The first classes of destroyer and restorer are applied as modifiers to the second advancement. It will be the same with the third advancement. As you know, the concept of modifiers is absolute. The more modifiers there are, the higher the status will be. The merits of the class called dancing smith might be small right now, but if you think about the future, it is wiser to choose a class with many modifiers.

Was it because they were the heritage of Shizo Beriache? Braham was showed great interest in the Overgeared Skeletons. He actively advised Grid and was a big help to him.

Okay... I will do so.

This was an investment for the future. It was in order to make the Overgeared Skeletons have the modifiers of destroyer, restorer, dancing, and blacksmith attached to the third advancement classes. Grid nodded and made a decision. It might feel like a loss right now, but it cant be helped. You will both become dancing smiths.

Kyaak! Kya kya kyak!

The Overgeared Skeletons were pleased with Grids choice. They laughed and started to dance lightly.

[You have selected the dancing smith class for Overgeared Skeleton One. Is this correct?]

Co...rrect.

[You have selected the dancing smith class for Overgeared Skeleton Two. Is this correct?]

Thats right...

Flash!

Grid didnt change his decision, and a golden glow appeared around the bodies of the Overgeared Skeletons who were absorbed in their dancing. Meanwhile, Grid felt a bit regretful. He was gloomy because they were now two dancing smiths who would be of no use in combat.

Sigh. I need to raise them to level 300 as soon as possible.

The reason for the slow leveling of the Overgeared Skeletons was because the level difference with Grid was too large. The penalty meant that the Overgeared Skeletons received lesser experience points. However, as the level gap gradually narrowed, the level-up speed of the Overgeared Skeletons would accelerate.

[The second class advancements of Overgeared Skeleton One and Overgeared Skeleton Two have been completed!]

[The class compensation effect has increased Overgeared Skeleton Ones strength and stamina by 50. There is an additional 20,000 increase in health.]

[The class compensation effect has increased Overgeared Skeleton Twos intelligence and stamina by 50. There is an additional 15,000 increase in health and 5,000 increase in mana.]

[The appearances of Overgeared Skeletons One and Two have changed!]

[The information on Overgeared Skeletons One and Two will be updated!]

Ohhh!

Once the class advancement was completed, the golden glow was absorbed by the Overgeared Skeletons. The Overgeared Skeletons now turned into shiny golden chibi skeletons instead of just chibi skeletons. If the previous Overgeared Skeletons were like chewed bones left behind by a dog, the current Overgeared Skeletons were fine skeletons made of gold.

However, their eyes were still the same. The shaped eyes were still naughty.

...I cant see it.

It was subtle.

Well... its fine since theyre cute.

Grid opened the Overgeared Skeletons information.

[Dancing Lv. 1]

[Skeleton's Patience]

[Intermediate Magic Mastery Lv. 7]

[Omitted.]

The Overgeared Skeletons gained six stat points every time they leveled up. Given that level 1 had a basic 10 points for each stat and players gained a 20 point bonus for their first level, the total value of the level 200 Overgeared Skeletons stats should be 1,224. However, the Overgeared Skeletons had a stats increase due to the second class advancement bonus, the bone strengthening effect, and the various usable items made by Grid.

The total number of stat points was nearly 2,000, which was comparable to that of ordinary level 200 players. It was almost miraculous considering the Overgeared Skeletons were less powerful than players. They literally resembled their master by possessing fraudulent stats. Still, that wasnt the important issue right now.

This...

In fact, Grid had great expectations for the potential of the Overgeared Skeletons until their first class advancement. He had imagined that Overgeared Skeleton One would cause massive explosions to crush the bones of opponents while Overgeared Skeleton Two would use wide-area heals. The result was disappointing because they were terrible, unlike his imagination. The reality was that Overgeared Skeleton One could blow up the item while Overgeared Skeleton Two could reset the process...

Something garbage like this...

Grid was forced to bind all his hopes onto the third advancement. The Overgeared Skeletons would have the modifiers of destroyer (restorer) dancing blacksmith skeleton. He could still hope for a combat class for the third advancement. Then Brahams voice entered the ears of the frustrated Grid, -Maybe it is because you are an idiot, but your imagination is poor. Sharing your thoughts are a pain. If this continues, my soul is likely to burst to death before it can recover.

...?

How could he be blamed when Braham was going to die anyway? Grid frowned while Braham scoffed.

-Stupid guy. You should be focusing on the provocation skill, not the blacksmithing. One has a wide-range provocation and damage ability while the other can launch an infinite provocation ability. What the hell are you regretting?

...Ah!

The Dancing skill didnt specify the category of the enemy. It was even a wide-area skill.

On the other hand, the Bloody Smell option of Malacus Cloak didnt apply to creatures whose sense of smell had deteriorated like the undead. Additionally, Malacus Cloak was very dangerous because Grid himself attracted the aggro. However, the Overgeared Skeletons were summons who didnt receive a penalty from dying.

This isnt trash.

Possibilities started to unfold in front of Grid. He anticipated that the Overgeared Skeletons third and fourth advancements would come faster than he had thought.

***

...

The defense of the evil eyes village had ended.

A month had passed, but Peak Swords condition was still the worst. He felt uncomfortable and unmotivated. It was hard for him to concentrate on hunting, so even Vantner was worried about him.

Are you still thinking about that knight?

The knight whom Vantner mentioned was the leader of the Blue Flames Knights of the Gauss Kingdom. He was a young knight named Apollo. Peak Sword was traumatised from killing him. It was because Peak Sword saw himself in Apollos image of fighting for his kingdom. A lonely struggle was the fate of a weak nation.

To be honest, Peak Sword hadnt wanted to kill him. However, he had to fight for the sake of the evil eyes. It was a fair fight, and he had to knock down the enemy. The only thing he regretted now was deceiving the other party who had fought to the end for his kingdom.

Yes, Peak Sword knew all of this. Yet he still felt regretful when the face of the young knight came up.

...He had only one life.

Satisfy was only a game to players, but it was reality for NPCs. They couldnt revive.

Of course, I will kill him if the same thing happens again. I just regret that I didnt say a word to him before he died. He was too strong.

Then from now on, say goodbye before killing them.

...Eh?

Say goodbye and kill. Isnt that enough?

...

Were going to be fighting NPCs. It was a planned future from the moment Grid set up his kingdom. Some of the enemies you will encounter will certainly be good people, and youll have to kill them. What if you have a mental breakdown every time? Your mind will soon become exhausted. Will you quit the game?

Kuk... Yes, my resolve was lacking. I was too short-sighted. Ill have to greet the enemy in advance before fighting.

Good. Thats the right thing to do. Greet and kill them.

Hut... Yes.

...

The two men clasped hands. Their conversation content was obviously missing the main point. The listening Overgeared members thought it was so absurd that they clicked their tongues. It was at this moment.

&Zednos: An explosion has occurred in the southern market.

The guild members who were in Reinhardt were talking to each other in the guild chat.

&Ibellin: What happened?

&Zednos: Agnus is visiting. Maybe he is making a commotion.

&Toon: Agnus is here? Why? Isnt this crazy?

&Jishuka: Yes! Hes a crazy guy~

&Ibellin: (/-_-) Im nearby, so Ill be right there.

Agnus?

In the Galgunos Temple, Bullets face hardened as he placed pressure on the war god followers with his undead and jiangshi. Agnus was obviously crazy, but he wasnt a loose cannon. If a crisis that couldnt be overcome arrived, he would enjoy the situation but always try to avoid the worst situation. Yet he was visiting the capital of the Overgeared Kingdom where they were obviously enemies...? Agnus wouldnt have intended to cause a disturbance.

He seems to be having a hard time these days... Maybe he came here because he wanted to rely on me?

Damn. Bullet couldnt even send Agnus a whisper because Agnus was removed from his friends list. He couldnt concentrate on the battle. Bullet worried about it before recalling the undead and jiangshi to his side.

Eh? What happened? The Overgeared members, who were hunting with him, asked.

Bullet scratched his head. Im sorry but I want to take a break. Ive been hunting for too long.

Are you sleeping at that level?

...You have dropped from second in the necromancer rankings.

It took a surprisingly long amount of time to produce the jiangshi, causing him to drop to fourth place. Nevertheless, Bullet was still a high ranker who was far above the average level of the Overgeared members. This was because the necromancer class was optimized for hunting.

That was the past. You have to restore your ranking.

Today isnt the only day. Ill work hard next time. Then Im going. Bullet didnt say anything else and used a return scroll.

He left to help his old idol, feeling grateful and sorry toward the Overgeared members who hadnt done anything but treat him as an old friend. Still, once he gave his heart, he would never betray or easily abandon the person. This was the man called Bullet.
