Chapter 1532 (1/2)

“......”

The place where the ceiling should be, or used to be, was blue. Today, a particularly clear sky covered the smithy like a blanket. Were they intentionally messing with him?

Grid seriously doubted it as he stood in the collapsing smithy. It was a natural flow of thought. Why did the smithy fall apart? He was worried that Rabbit would be in an extreme state of collapse.

[Overgeared Skeleton One’s evolution has been completed.]

The notification window woke him up from his thoughts. The reason for the blue sky was gradually descending.

A purple light that flashed between dark magic power. The emitted heat that evaporated clouds was unusual.

[Allegiance to Your Majesty...]

The appearance of Overgeared Skeleton One kneeling in front of Grid was surprisingly unfamiliar. He looked like Zik, but different. Perhaps it was because the skin and hair were discolored white or because the eyes were emitting a red light. Or perhaps it was due to the dark magic power that was like armor. The biggest reason was that his body had grown in size. It seemed to be a natural change in the process of combining and reconstructing the bones of Overgeared Skeleton One and Zikfrector.

A tall knight who gave off a cold, frost-like impression—Grid confirmed the details of Overgeared Skeleton One, who was proud of the change.

[Name: Overgeared Skeleton One

Level: 430]

First of all, the level was normal. He rose to the same level as Overgeared Skeleton Two did when it became a lich.

‘For the time being, Overgeared Skeleton Two will have the upper hand.’

Overgeared Skeleton Two was currently level 461. It was because it reached the fourth class advancement first and played a big role in the war.

‘In any case, the important thing is the class name.’

Grid would be a bit upset if Overgeared Skeleton One was a dancing knight. The incident in which Overgeared Skeleton Two became a dancing lich remained a trauma.

[Class: Dancing Death Knight Who Speaks Ancient Languages]

“......”

Grid confirmed the class name of Overgeared Skeleton One and closed his eyes with a sorrowful feeling. He took a deep breath again and again to control his mind.

‘Really... do whatever you want.’

No matter whether it was tap dancing, waltzing, acrobatics, or strip dancing, it was all part time...

Currently, the most important thing was skills. If this guy could play an active role like Overgeared Skeleton Two, that was enough.

Grid consoled himself and opened the list of stats and skills. A smile naturally appeared.

First of all, the strength and agility had increased significantly. With 4,000 strength and 4,500 agility, it was a stats ratio suitable for swordsmanship. The ratio of stamina was low for a knight, but this was only when discussing the ratio. At 3,500 stamina, even this was superior to knights of the same level. It was a shocking level considering that a death knight’s shortcoming was usually its weak defense.

Besides that, there was also the insight stat, like Overgeared Skeleton Two. The figure was even 2,000. Combined with the high agility, it would be sublimated into a powerful weapon. Overgeared Skeleton One would be able to respond to most attacks with his unstoppable dynamic vision. Unless it was a legend or a transcendent, it would be difficult to inflict a fatal injury on Overgeared Skeleton One.

‘Even his intelligence has increased tremendously.’

3,000 intelligence—it was obtained by absorbing the body of Zikfrector, who could use the ‘rune language,’ but it was safe to say that Overgeared Skeleton One was more like a magician than a death knight.

‘He overwhelms Overwhelming Two just based on the total of stats.’

A death knight was also a knight. A knight represented a balanced class, and the biggest strength of a balanced class lay in the total stats. Unlike other classes with distinct strengths and weaknesses, they showed equal strength. The disadvantage was that there was no obvious advantage. However, Overgeared Skeleton One could use the rune language, so this disadvantage disappeared.

[Understanding and Utilization of Ancient Languages Lv. 5 (Unable to accumulate proficiency)]

[Understand and utilize seven runes.

It can be combined into a total of 19 words. The meaning of each word becomes a phenomenon.

Skill Mana Cost: 6,500 for each rune. It is 23,000 per word. The consumption will double every time the number of words increases.

Skill Cooldown Time: 10 minutes per rune.

* Sentences can’t be implemented at this stage.]

‘...I will need to use items to raise his mana.’

Grid had thought this amount of intelligence was high, but it wasn’t necessarily the case. The mana requirement for the skill was too large.

‘It is okay.’

The biggest weakness of a death knight was its low intelligence and susceptibility to divine power. However, this didn’t apply to Overgeared Skeleton One. The basic intelligence was high and divine power resistance could be raised by items. It was impossible to point out that it was a weakness just because a large amount of resources was consumed when using the runes.

‘Basically, it is correct to interpret it as a death knight with no weaknesses, who even has a weapon called the rune language.’

Above all, there was the most important fact. The rune language wasn’t all that Overgeared Skeleton One obtained by taking Zikfrector’s body. It was a time when Zik was Zikfrector. He used to be called the grandmaster. In addition to the runes, it had the strength of being versatile.

[All Mastery (Mastered)]

[Passive

Deals with all weapons in the realm of a master.

Based on the knowledge accumulated through various studies, you can speak all existing languages and easily learn anything.

★There is a probability of learning the skills you have experienced. It is up to 10 times. Give priority to acquiring high rated skills first. If the skill slot is full, throw away skills that are less frequently used.]

This was a strength that Zikfrector hadn’t shown. There was no chance for him to use it due to the Curse of Sloth. Meanwhile, Overgeared Skeleton One didn’t have the curse. Overgeared Skeleton One had inherited the abilities, not the curse, from Zikfrector.

‘One thing is for certain.’

The potential of Overgeared Skeleton One was endless. All Mastery was a skill comparable to Overgeared Skeleton Two’s Space Distortion. It wasn’t exaggerated to describe it as a power.

Clack clack clack!

Overgeared Skeleton Two had been free since becoming a lich. The potential of Overgeared Skeleton One was proven by the fact that the existence who had the right to freely enter and exit Latina’s Necklace emerged and knocked on the back of Overgeared Skeleton One’s head. Overgeared Skeleton Two felt a sense of crisis...

[This is a place where the king is watching... keep your dignity.] Overgeared Skeleton One spoke in a heavy voice.

There was a greater sense of weight because he had the appearance of a person, not a skeleton. That’s right. Looking at the appearance, it was impossible to tell if Overgeared Skeleton One was undead or human.

Clack! Clack clack clack!

Overgeared Skeleton Two danced with its chin colliding. It shook its waist from side to side in a manner that went beyond cuteness to being frivolous. It could speak the human language, but the reason it didn’t speak to Overgeared Skeleton One was to let it know they were dead.

Overgeared Skeleton One snorted.

[Communication doesn’t work. It is worthy of the being whose brain has become rotten and disappeared.]
