Overgeared Chapter 294:
Chapter 294
“What method…? How can we escape from the immediate crisis?’
Grid had numerous experiences with raids . He had raised his level through raids rather than hunting . Therefore, it was safe to say that he was crazy in an emergency . Furthermore, the bosses of Grid’s raids weren’t monsters that appeared with a “Kuwoooh!”
Satisfy had named bosses that exerted a big and small influence on the worldview of the game, and they overflowed with individuality . Perhaps that was why?
Grid had a very unique perspective about bosses . He didn’t just concentrate on the combat patterns of the bosses like everyone else, he also considered their personality and background . The more he identified the boss’ tendencies, the easier the raid was…
At the time of the Pascal raid, Grid hadn’t haphazardly used his strength . The situation was designed to work in his favor . He was a professional . He would be the first job called ‘raid expert,’ who gave raid advice to various guilds and users . But it was a shame that Grid had no brains to turn this talent into money .
‘Elfin Stone is the key to this situation . ’
Grid thought about it . Elfin Stone was able to destroy their party at any time . But in the past four days, he only attempted to kill one of them . Why? It was surprisingly simple when looking at his nature .
‘It was for fun . ’
Elfin Stone repeated the same thing every time he appeared . He would let them experience extreme fear by killing one person a day .
‘His aim is to see us scared and shivering . ’
What if he focused on killing all of them at once?
‘It would be futile . ’
He would lose his toys and Elfin Stone didn’t want that .
‘I have to use this point . ’
Grid’s face darkened .
“Rapid Pressure . ”
Peeeeeong!
As Grid was thinking, the Overgeared members were struggling . Elfin Stone’s aggro was thoroughly taken by Huroi, so the party members left Huroi’s protection to Vantner and focused on attacking .
The Overgeared members had different characteristics and could create a 120% synergy by connecting their skills . They were indeed users in the top 20 rankings, and were models for everyone .
In particular, Faker’s performance was dazzling . It was difficult for even Elfin Stone to respond to his swiftness . The dagger caused blood to shed before he could turn his body into smoke .
However, Blood Field was the problem . Elfin Stone recovered over 1,000 health per second from the Overgeared members! His recovery power was phenomenal . It was estimated that his total health was 8 million . It was impossible to knock him down with the attack power of a few people .
“Lightning Kill!”
Kwajijijik!
Regas’ fist pierced Elfin Stone’s chest . However, Elfin Stone didn’t suffer any damage . He turned into smoke at the point of attack .
“This is the real thing!”
Regas rotated his body without recalling his fist . He aimed his heel towards Elfin Stone’s head . It was an irregular and exciting attack .
“Kkuk…!”
Regas’ strength was his unpredictable attack patterns . Elfin Stone didn’t expect this type of behavior and groaned . On the other hand, Pon was rushing forward .
“Rain Spear!”
Pepeng! Pepepeng!
Pon leapt and repeated stabbed his spear . The spear poured down like rain . It was an unavoidable attack, as long as the whole body wasn’t turned into smoke . But if the whole body was turned into smoke, there was a large delay and counter attacking was impossible . It was an act that Elfin Stone had to avoid .
“Blood Shield!”
Jjejeong! Jjeejeeeong!
Elfin Stone consumed some of his health to release blood, creating dozens of red shields . The spears and shields collided in the air .
Puk! Puk puk!
Faker approached in secret and repeatedly stabbed Elfin Stone in the neck . The higher the number of hits, the more damage that would be accumulated . Elfin Stone shouted .
“I’ll have to deal with you first!”
“…!”
Faker was nervous . It was because Elfin Stone’s gaze was no longer focused on Huroi .
Peeng!
Iyarugt glowed red, causing his ears to burst .
Chiing!
The Overgeared members instantly felt their ears ringing . This was the ‘Blood Cry’ skill attached to Iyarugt . The Overgeared members lost their balance and Elfin Stone used a skill .
“Blood Thorns!”
Puuok! Puuok!
Dozens of thorns emerged from Blood Field and stabbed Faker’s thigh . Blood Thorn! The attack power wasn’t strong, but it was the worst magic that polluted the blood stream of the target . Movement speed was drastically reduced, so Faker’s swiftness was blocked .
Elfin Stone smiled and wielded Iyarugt . He wanted to cut Faker’s head off . Just in time, flaming arrows came flying and stopped the action . It was Jishuka’s cover .
“You are pretty good humans . ”
Elfin Stone was stimulated by the Overgeared members . Elfin Stone was in a better position the longer this went on .
Kwajak!
Elfin Stone lightly snapped an arrow . His current health was still at 8/10ths . On the other hand, the Overgeared members had their health reduced by at least one-third to a half . It was the power of Blood Field .
“If this continues, we’ll be wiped out in two minutes . ”
Zednos restored Faker’s movement speed with Blessing of the Wind, and spoke with a desperate expression . Vantner shrugged .
“I agree . ”
Elfin Stone’s strengths weren’t his attack power, magic power, defense, or speed . These were low compared to bosses of the same level . However, the reason he felt so strong was his unrivaled utility .
Wide area status damage, wide area defense and attack skills, wide area vampire skills, single target defense skills and so on . It seemed impossible unless all the Overgeared members were summoned .
Could they win even if Grid reached level 300? It happened when the party members were feeling doubts .
{Sacrifice Huroi . The reason why Elfin Stone is on a rampage is Huroi, so he will stop after Huroi dies . }
What nonsense was Grid speaking?
“…?”
Everyone except for Huroi frowned and doubted their ears . Regas evaded Iyarugt’s fierce attack and questioned Grid .
{Selling out our companion? Did I hear it wrong?}
Grid shook his head .
{No, you heard it properly . }
Pon shouted angrily .
{Don’t make us disappointed!}
Jishuka was the same .
{Grid, a man who sells out his companions doesn’t deserve to stand at the top . }
Peak Sword, Zednos and Faker didn’t give opinions, but they couldn’t hide their uncomfortable feelings . It was a natural criticism . But Grid wasn’t ashamed . He looked at all the members with dignified eyes .
“This is to protect more companions . ”
That’s right . Grid wasn’t going to sacrifice Huroi for nothing .
‘Eight people will be saved by one sacrifice . ’
Ordinary people couldn’t easily make the choice to sacrifice someone for the greater good . Especially if the person was someone precious . However, Grid was more pragmatic . Making decisions out of affection? Grid wasn’t the type .
“Cough!”
Faker was hit by an attack . Grid ran towards him and pulled out Failure .
Chaaeng!
The blue Failure collided with the red Iyarugt .
[The durability of the +9 Failure has decreased by 5 . ]
The strength of the blood stone was far superior to that of the blue orichalcum . Looking at just strength, it seemed to be above adamantium .
‘The creator of Iyarugt is better than my current self . ’
Grid clicked his tongue and sent a whisper to Huroi .
–Do you understand what I mean? You have to sacrifice yourself for everyone .
Huroi didn’t hesitate at all…
–I understand, My Lord .
The reaction was as expected . This made Grid’s heart ache even more . Grid smiled bitterly .
–Why don’t you ever say it if you don’t like something? I’m even more sorry if you are too good .
–I only follow My Lord’s commands . If it’s a reasonable order like right now, I am even more willing!
The loss of experience, item durability loss or item drop penalties after death were fatal to anyone . In particular, Huroi’s combat power was low so his level up speed was slow . Thus, it was more critical . Nevertheless, Huroi was always willing to follow Grid’s orders .
–I will surely get revenge on Elfin Stone . And I will make sure that you are compensated enough to make up for today’s sacrifice .
–There is no need for compensation . It is my mission to sacrifice myself for My Lord and your precious people . I desire nothing in return . In addition, this situation is all my fault…
–I don’t need you to take responsibility . And don’t forget that you are also a precious person to me .
-…
Grid prepared his heart . He proposed to Elfin Stone, who was gazing at him coldly over the sword .
“I will hand over my companion who dared to mention your parents . Kill him to release your anger . ”
Elfin Stone couldn’t believe his ears .
“Selling out your companion to save your life? Humans are truly dirty and ugly . ”
“So, you don’t want to?”
A smile appeared on Elfin Stone’s face .
“I want . ”
‘Indeed . ’
It was as Grid expected . Elfin Stone waned to enjoy the game of hunting humans for a long time .
“Go and die . ”
Grid commanded as he treated from Elfin Stone, and Huroi took immediate action . He ran over to Elfin Stone . The people who saw him cried out .
“No!”
“What are you doing, you crazy guy!?”
The words were useless . Grid had already made up his mind, and Huroi followed Grid .
“I will kill you cruelly . ”
Puok!
Huroi didn’t resist as Elfin Stone played with him like a toy . Blood Thorns pierced his ankles to restrict movement, while Iyarugt cut at his wrists so he couldn’t hold a sword . Then the body was sliced up like steak, until he eventually hacked into the head .
“…”
The physical pain was nothing compared to the mental impact, but Huroi didn’t even groan . His mind had been disciplined by spending hundreds of hours trapped in a dark dungeon .
“I can’t look anymore!”
The Overgeared members were filled with righteous indignation . Grid warned those who were about to save Huroi .
“Don’t be ridiculous and get out of here quickly . If you violate this command, I will expel you from the guild . ”
“…”
Grid lacked charisma . What did it matter how high his dignity stat was? He seemed frivolous because he only cared about money and glamor . But at this moment, he was different . He felt guilt and sorrow at forcing someone to die .
Grid tried to keep the emotions from his eyes as he made a strong expression . The qualities of a leader were slowly blooming . The Overgeared members calmed down and retreated .
On this day, Huroi died .
