Overgeared

e in Grid’s defense.
Grid held his hot cheeks and opened his status window.

[Name: Pagma

Level: 256

Species: Yangban

Class: Beginner Swordsman, Beginner Blacksmith

……

……

……]

All of Grid’s stats were corrected to Pagma’s stats from hundreds of years ago.
The same was true for his equipment and skills.

‘Isn’t this bullshit?’

No matter how long ago this was, he couldn’t help wondering if these were really yangbans.
The man who slapped Grid’s cheeks followed by grabbing his collar.

“This guy, you are even protecting beasts now.
I hate the fact that a crazy person like you is the same as me.
It is disgusting and my nausea is rising.”

Grid was familiar with these eyes full of disgust and anger.
He stared at the man holding him by the collar and shouted with surprise, “G-Garam!”

“Hah! Why? Do you want to say that you don’t know who I am?”

Garam scoffed and pushed Grid away.
He spat on the ground and left the great hall with the group.

Garung…

A young blue tiger inside the iron cage stared at Grid.
The bright, round eyes were pure, the breathing sounded sad and made being trapped in the iron cage look even more pitiful.

“Are you okay?”

Grid finally stood up and used the Red Phoenix’s Breath seen in the skills list.
The warm flames covered the wet Blue Tiger and energized her body.

‘They are real XX guys.’

Grid trembled as he looked closely at Blue Tiger.
There were ugly whip marks and bright red blood on the blue tiger’s small body.

“I’m sorry I didn’t help you quickly.
I’m sorry.”

Grid’s expression was dark as he stroked the body of the blue tiger.
He should’ve stopped it before the yangbans pissed.
He resented himself for being dull and not being able to quickly grasp the situation.
Blue Tiger barely pushed her head through the iron bars and rubbed her head against the crouching Grid’s legs.
She seemed to be saying it was okay and was thanking him.

‘Shit…’

This was just a reproduction of a scene from the past.
The things he did here didn’t affect the future, which was reality.
He was in a position where he had to focus on the contents of the third trial.
He had to prepare for the trial that could take place at any time in an unknown form.

Grid obviously knew all of this.
Even so, he pulled out the soft sword hanging from his waist.
It was classified as a sword mastery skill, but his Yangban’s Swordsmanship skill was only at the beginner level.

“Pagma’s Swordsmanship.”

The only sword dances he knew were Link and Wave.

“Wave Link.”

Grid did his best to cut the padlock off the iron cage.
The door opened and he reached out to the blue tiger, who was frightened and retreated.

“It ’s okay.
I won’t hurt you.”

How much violence did she experience every time the yangbans opened the cage for her to tremble so? Grid hid Blue Tiger in his arms and immediately ran out of the great hall.

“You! What did you do? Stop!”

Garam and the yangbans ran out of the tiled houses.
Grid had hit the lock dozens of times so it seemed they were attracted by the loud noise.

“Stand still!”

‘Would you stand still if you were me?’

The yangbans’ preparations were late and they were still putting on their dopos, hats, and silk shoes while Grid was hurrying to escape.
Some of the yangbans were even carrying smoking pipes.
Thanks to this, Grid managed to escape pursuit for a while and reached the entrance of the Hwan Kingdom.
The long river entered his view.
It was a river that was so big that it was hard to tell the end.

“Gasp…
gasp…”

There was a large ship waiting at the dock, but Grid wasn’t confident about getting on it.
The people on the ship were more likely to be enemies, and he had neither experience in steering a ship nor moving one.
Eventually, Grid started paddling a small boat.

“Don’t worry, I will take you to Mount Bukdu.”

Grid mentioned the place where he met Blue Tiger in the future and reassured the young blue tiger.
Unfortunately, Grid’s heart was also beating fast.
Grid himself was trembling with fear and other physical reactions.
It couldn’t be helped.

Tremble tremble.

It was because Pagma’s physical strength was inferior from Grid’s current perspective and it had reached its limit.
His rowing hands started to slow and his trembling arms and legs were out of control.

Tung!Tutong!Tuong!

Drumming sounds rang at the dock and a huge ship departed.
The ship was several times faster than Grid rowing alone and caught in an instant.

“Disgraceful guy!”Garam’s angry cry echoed through the mountains and river.

Dozens of arrows filled the sky.

‘Shit!’

Grid naturally didn’t give up.
He intercepted the flying arrows using Link and Wave.
Then the subsequent arrows were blocked by the fusion skill, Wave Link.
However, he didn’t have any sword techniques left that could directly deal with Garam.

“How can this unqualified guy dare to leave? You betrayed us to save a young beast!”

It was a reasonable accusation from Garam’s point of view.
Garam’s sword aimed at Grid was filled with real killing intent.

‘Danger…!’

It was the moment when Grid’s gaze followed the sword that was going to pierce his heart…

The world turned black and white and stopped.
No, it was more accurate to say that time had stopped.
Garam was frozen just like this and the sound of bells was heard from behind Grid, who was too scared to breathe.

“Why did you save it?” In a world where everything had stopped and even the sound disappeared, only Grid and Chiyou’s voices were heard.

“Then should I just watch?” Grid replied.

“You don’t have the power to save it.”

“I had to fight to know that.”

“You would’ve died in one second.”

“You don’t know that.”

The breaths of the blue dragon, white tiger, and black tortoise.
Grid had three skills that hadn’t been used yet.
He had planned to stop Garam’s strike with the White Tiger’s Breath then shock the river with the Blue Dragon’s Breath to make him faint.
He would use this opportunity to move the boat and try to explore new possibilities by using a single dance with the Black Tortoise’s Breath.
Well, there was no guarantee this would work.

A smile appeared on Chiyou’s indifferent face.
“I like the tenacity and spirit used to develop the sword dances so far when it was just a means of directing the ritual.”
