Chapter 155

“Finally... To hell... By God Yatan’s side... I can go...”

Flop.

The decrepit body of the old man fell to the cold floor. The whole world cheered as soon as they saw him turn to grey light.

『 Oh...! Ohhh! Awesome! The first legendary class, Pagma's Successor has defeated the Fourth Servant of the Yatan Church! It’s truly a remarkable achievement! 』

Asia.

『 Neberius is level 300. He’s a third advancement dark magician and a hidden boss. He defeated that enemy alone? The ability of a legendary class is amazing. 』

North America.

『 I wouldn’t say he succeeded in the raid alone. Didn’t the Tzedakah Guild consume Neberius’s health and magic power before he appeared? 』

Europe.

『 If it wasn’t for the Tzedakah Guild, would Pagma's Successor be able to knock down Neberius alone? 』

『 We can’t be sure. 』

South America.

『 What are the pros and cons of Pagma's Successor that could be observed in this battle? 』

Oceania, Africa, and so on. The international media of all continents broadcasted headlines about Pagma's Successor. There was an uproar in various communities.

-Defeated. A hidden boss was defeated in a one-man raid.

-I thought he was stupid after being hit by the magic ㅋㅋ Yet he still managed to win ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Honestly it is true. He won due to his items.

-Yes, I agree.

-What are those golden discs? I’d like to have them. Where did he get them? A quest item?

-If we knew, than would we be here? Think before posting comments on the message boards;

[A review of Pagma's Successor by a level 269 ranker]

Hello, I am ranked 15th on the unified rankings. Proof? I don’t need it. It’s annoying in many ways. People can choose to believe me or not.

Then I'll get straight to the point.

Based on what I saw, Pagma's Successor is just a beginner at combat. Why is my evaluation so extreme? Okay, then I’ll change my comment to a ‘magic dictionary.’

Magician. Pagma's Successor used skills against a great magician, but was affected by gravity magic, didn’t consider the magic built into orbs and received a great deal of damage... He is the worst in many ways. In particular, he couldn’t deal with Reverse Gravity properly, proving that his control skills are bad. Ah, this ‘bad’ is based on the perspective of a ranker.

Omitted.

[PvP expert commentator RIX on Pagma's Successor]

Omitted.

The bottom line is that Pagma's Successsor’s control skills and fighting abilities are plain, while the power of his items is huge.

His white armor and golden shield have high magic resistance. The cloak should have a built in taunt ability and the boots give him Fly magic. The greatsword has overwhelming damage. More than anything else, there are the two golden discs that defended against the damage of a powerful magic that combined three attributes, Dark Stone Blizzard by 70%.

How big is it? It is impossible to measure the value of the discs, but it’s most likely a legendary rating.

The point we need to note here is that Pagma's Successor is a ‘legendary blacksmith.’ Did Pagma's Successor make these items himself? How does he do it? I want to commission an item right now.

[Part of an interview with the 3rd ranked Chris.]

Q: It is theorized that Pagma's Successor is the same as the butcher of Winston who devastated your guild. What do you think?

A: I believe it is correct. I also believe he is the same person who made the Special Jaffa Arrows that became a hot topic in the past.

Q: Is he a member of the Tzedakah Guild?

A: It is natural to think so considering the context.

Q. I will ask you in a straightforward manner. Who is stronger, you or Pagma's Successor?

A: His raid ability is better than me. Neberius might have weak defense and health, but he is still a hidden boss. I don’t have enough offensive power to kill him in an instant. What would happen if I raided Neberius alone? It’s easy to drive Neberius to the defensive, but he would’ve been able to escape.

However, my PvP ability is several times higher than Pagma's Successor. The class itself might be strong, but his control abilities are the worst. In particular, his skill usage is very simple. I can avoid or counter his skills. I think that most of the top 20 rankers will be thinking the same thing as me.

Q: There are many people who are criticizing the control skills of Pagma's Successor, but I haven’t seen anyone degrading the class performance itself. What type of class is Pagma's Successor?

A: It combines other elements but its best aspect is the ability to make items. Isn’t he the only legendary item maker? The combat power is also the best. Attack power, defense, speed, there isn’t anything lacking. His items are good, but I guess that his basic stats are also superior.

I just don’t know about the power of his skills. As everybody knows, didn’t the skills of Pagma's Successor miss? (Laughs)

Everyone was enthusiastically paying attention to Pagma's Successor. However, Grid himself didn’t realize this.

[Neberius’ Flute]

It is a treasure that has been preserved for many years by the Yatan Church and influences the minds of those who hear it. The appearance is old but that doesn’t affect the ability to produce sound.

When a member of God Yatan plays this flute, it reduces the enemy’s evasion rate by 50%, their accuracy by 30% and magic casting time by 1.5 times.

When a member of the three other gods plays this flute, it will increase ally’s evasion and accuracy by 20% and reduce casting time by 1.5 times.

When a neutral person plays this flute, a random effect will be created.

* You must play it for at least five seconds.

* The duration of the effect is 30 seconds.

Conditions of Use: None.

Skill Cooldown Time: 10 minutes.

Effect Range: A radius of 20 metres.

[Neberius’ Bracelet]

Rating: Unique

Durability: 14/20 Defense: 5

Intelligence +30

* Reduces magic casting time by 20%.

A bracelet that Neberius treasured. It doesn’t have much effect, but it is an artifact that is very helpful to a magician.

User Restriction: Level 250 or higher.

Weight: 1

[A hidden function doesn’t exist.]

"Yes!!”

Jackpot.

‘In particular, Neberius’ flute is a big hit!’

Classes that could use buff and debuff magic were very limited, such as black magicians and paladins. Among them, there were very few classes that could use wide area debuff or buff magic. However, if he had Neberius’ Flute, he could use wide area debuff or buff magic regardless of class.

‘I can’t imagine how much it will sell for if I register it at auction... Should I try it out once?’

Grid wondered about the random effects. He started playing the flute.

Bik. Biiik. Bik.

Grid hadn’t even played a recorder, so it was impossible for him to play the old flute well. However, the tone of the flute itself was so good that it didn’t disturb his ears.

‘What is he doing all of a sudden?’

The Tzedakah Guild members who were cheering after Grid defeated Neberius! Those who were still attacking Balak became affected when Grid suddenly started playing the flute. Then their faces turned pale.

[You have heard a bad flute sound. All stats will drop by 30%, making it easier for you to be affected by a status condition. This effect will last for 30 seconds.]

All members of the Tzedakah Guild weakened. On the other hand, the jade flames around Balak’s body started to burn more fiercely.

“I feel stronger!”

“Y-You crazy person!”

“Hey Grid! What are you doing?”

Kwaang! Kwaang!

The blazing sword started to attack the weakened Tzedakah Guild members. Pon and Regas, who almost killed all the elders, suddenly faced a crisis.

“Pant... Pant... My stamina is suddenly depleted...”

"The elders are becoming stronger...”

[A random effect has occurred. Decrease the stats of all allies and increase the stats of all enemies.]

“...Wow.” Grid belatedly confirmed the notification windows and scratched his head like he was embarrassed. “Sorry.”

"This is shit!”

Vantner cursed as he defended against Balak’s swords with his twin axes, then rolled far away. It wasn’t just him. Most of the guild members fell down because they couldn’t endure the power of the strengthened Balak.

“It can’t be helped. I have to get rid of this cheap thing.”

Grid blamed the item and looked at Balak. He started approaching Balak and Balak hurriedly flew into the sky. Then he created a door to move between dimensions.

“Neberius is dead, so I will step aside today. But I will be better prepared next time.”

The magician Neberius had to chant a long spell to use Teleport, but the demonkin Balak could create a dimensional movement door at will. The Tzedakah Guild trembled when they saw him running away so easily.

"We missed our prey...”

"Damn! It was an amazing chance!”

“Dammit Grid... Did you do this on purpose?”

"...I'm sorry.” Grid was sincere. Unlike the past, he had a conscience and was truly sorry. In the end, the Tzedakah Guild members couldn’t say anything more and just sighed.

"Now, let’s restore the village quickly.”

The Tzedakah Guild combined forces to defeat the remaining followers, rescued the NPCs and began to restore the village under Jishuka’s direction. It was annoying for Grid, but he let Balak escape, so he joined in the recovery efforts.

The Tzedakah Guild members were shocked when they saw him working hard.

"Hasn’t Grid changed too much?”

“That... He is a little too good-natured.”

"I thought I was looking at the wrong person...”

Toban listened to the words of the guild members and trembled, "Don't talk nonsense. I’m sure he is better than before, but he still isn’t good.”

At the same time, a super luxurious mansion in Miami, USA.

A blond man watching Grid turned off the TV. Then he turned to the long-haired young man standing beside him.

"You were defeated by that guy?”

The youth with the ID of Box in Satisfy, hid his face with embarrassment. "I’m sorry.”

The blond man raised his body from the chair. Then he headed towards the gold ultra-high tech capsule that was located in the centre of the living room.

“Asuka and Black Teddy are also trash. I shouldn't have offered them the executive positions.”

“But Asuka’s wealth is required. We can’t let her go.”

"I know."

The blond man who gave off a sharp impression like a serpent was Zibal. He was second on Satisfy’s unified rankings and the head of the Snake Guild. He invited talented people from different fields and his Snake Guild occupied the strongest territories of Satisfy one by one. He had ambitions to become a king and evaluated Grid.

“He’s a dunce. The fact that he is the only legendary item maker is irritating, but if we can occupy territories and monopolize the secret dungeons of various places, we can also get a supply of legendary items.”
