Redo: Grimoire System in the Apocalypse

Geth ran to the opposite side of the cemetery after sending Hulk a message to be ready. The distance was at least 20 football fields, but he still crossed it quickly.

With Geth's Blessing active, his Agility shot to 101, causing his speed to increase from 23 miles per hour to almost 37. During his and Filthy's experiments, they found that each point in Agility increased one's speed by approximately 2%.

  He was even more impressed by the increased reflexes. He had no issues dodging or vaulting over the obstacles, even while sprinting through the thousands of headstones.

In the distance, he saw the final Forsaken make a move. Geth watched as a shady figure burst from its hiding spot and tackled the beast.

The sewn-together creature stumbled backward before roaring in anger. The clawed hands swung down in an attempt to slay their target.

As Geth closed in, he could see Hulk raise his shield and firmly stand his ground. The man used his Enrage Skill just in time for Geth to make it to him.

He cast Restoration on the monster immediately. Hulk raised his eyebrow but didn't let his curiosity distract him.

The aggro Skill would only last for so long. Geth didn't waste the opportunity.

He repeated the same process that he had with the other Undead. Damages of over 550 constantly pelted the Forsaken while it was distracted.

All of Hulk's blocks were perfect, causing the creature to stagger slightly. The man used those opportunities to carve the creature's health down further with his sword.

By the time the first Enrage timed out, the Forsaken had already lost half of its health. With its mind no longer clouded, it swung its claws towards Geth.

He raised his staff to block... and watched as it was cleaved in two! The claw continued to scratch his chest lightly, a small figure of 20 damage flashing above him.

"What?!" He exclaimed, looking at the broken piece of wood in his hands. It seemed that he still received the bonuses from the Sockets while holding it, but the Attributes from the weapon itself had gone grey.

Hulk cast Enrage before the creature could strike again. Geth spat on the ground in annoyance.

"Pfft! What a pain in the ass!" Geth complained. This would mean that he would have to choose reward boxes instead of bonus Points for this Dungeon.

He drank more Mana potions and angrily spammed his Mass Blessing. The pain in his mind from the overheating Rune just further irritated him.

The beast soon dropped to the ground, turning to dust as its core left its body. Geth walked over to grab the loot crate and stored it in his satchel.

"I'm sorry about your staff," Hulk said to him as he walked over.

Geth looked down at the old piece of wood. It had multiple scorch marks, dings, and scratches from the battles thus far.

"Let me take a look at your sword," Geth stated. Hulk nodded and handed it over.

The blade was chipped in many places. There was even a tiny crack forming along the most used edge.

Geth asked out loud, "Albus, how often should magic equipment be repaired?"

'It depends on the quality of the equipment, but the higher the rarity, the better the craftsman is needed. You would be hard-pressed to find someone at this point that can repair Epic equipment.'

Geth looked over the clothing he was wearing. His Epic gear was fine, but his Uncommon supplies were almost in tatters. Even his Rare equipment was showing signs of wear.

*Sigh*

Geth let out a long huff of breath. It seemed that they would need to have a craftsman of some type in every party.

He handed the sword back to Hulk and voiced his thoughts to the man. Even if this were a strange situation, he wouldn't mind brainstorming a bit.

"Well, I think it would be a good idea in general. We are constantly finding different materials.

It would be nice to have someone with us who can upgrade our equipment as we travel. If equipment needs to be repaired, then I suppose now it has become a necessity.

Just imagine if a tank's shield were to shatter in battle due to lack of maintenance. It could be detrimental to the entire group."

Geth nodded, "Very well. We will try to recruit more once we get into the more populated areas.

In the meantime, we will need everyone to keep a backup set of equipment in their storage devices. Once your equipment looks like it may break, swap over to the secondary gear."

Just as the two finished discussing the issue, the rest of the party rushed over. Some of them had odd looks on their faces as they scanned the area, looking for the Sub-Boss.

Geth spoke up, "The Sub-Boss is taken care of. Dig up as many of the loot crates as Filthy can find."

Filthy nodded and began leading everyone towards the 'X' marked stones. Geth sat on the ground and closed his eyes.

He had heavily overworked his Mass Blessing Rune. With his eyes closed, he could see that the glass-like material was beginning to shatter.

Focusing, he began to move the Mana from his mind towards the broken structure. The liquid Mana began to seep into the cracks and mend the damage slowly.

It would take him a few hours to reverse the damage. In the meantime, he had Albus scan the area for any misshapen Runes or breaks in the Formation.

Geth still wasn't comfortable with the fact that the Boss was missing. It seemed that something strange was at work here, and he wasn't sure how to handle it.

There were still many more Dungeons to conquer, and he didn't want to run into any problems along the way. 

'As soon as this one is settled, we need to begin forming multiple parties. I believe that Hulk can handle his own at Tier 3 and below,' Geth thought.

As he was thinking, he heard footsteps coming from behind.
