Overgeared Chapter 551:
Borneo .
The Gauss players started to feel excited .
‘What? 9 million dollars just for inflicting an injury?’
‘900 million for killing . . . !’
How many chances like this would appear before ordinary people? It was low enough that it wouldn’t be strange if they never experienced it . Katz's proposal was enough to capture the Gauss players .
‘Money!’
'I will become rich!’
Money! Money! Money! This was a capitalist society that produced new monsters, a very desirable phenomenon for Katz .
"Seuron, give me one blow please . ”
"No, please just die . Yes? Please . ”
The eyes of the Gauss players changed . They revealed their intent to kill a high ranker that they normally wouldn’t go against . Seuron was recognized as prey, like a chicken trapped in a poultry farm . Seuron gulped as he was surrounded by the Gauss players .
“Do you really believe his words? Aren’t you just fools?”
The average level of the Gauss players was 100, with no rankers among them . If Seuron were behind some fortifications like Katz, he wouldn’t care how many opponents there were . But unlike Katz, however, Seuron was alone in the middle of enemy territory . He was isolated among thousands of enemies . Even the ‘Soul Predator’ Seuron had to feel tense .
Seuron determined that he had to be careful and tried to speak with a calm expression, "This isn’t $90,000 or $900,000 . It is 9 million dollars and 900 million . Does it make sense that he will keep this promise?”
In other words, it was worth billions of won . No matter how wealthy a person was, spending that much money just to hunt one person in a game? It was a bluff . Seuron was sure of it and people started to become dubious .
"It is a lot of money . No matter how rich Katz is, can he really spend this much?”
“That . . . I would’ve believed it if it was a more realistic amount . ”
They could gain enough money to reverse their life if they dealt one injury to Seuron! This extraordinary condition ended up grabbing Katz’ ankle . The Gauss players started to doubt Katz words and Seuron felt relief .
"Kukuk! Kuahahahat!” Katz’ shoulders shook as he laughed from the wall . "People are fun . It is beyond your imagination so you deny it? Look, your imagination is too weak . ”
That was the only problem they had? Then he would adjust the level .
"I will correct the amount . I will give 100 million yen to people who injure Seuron and 10 billion yen for the person who kills him . I promise in the name of the JIN Group . How about it? Are you going to believe it?”
People didn’t know how scary a madman with a lot of money was . Why? It was rare to see a madman with a lot of money!
“What are you doing? If you want to make money then you have to kill that beggar . ” Katz prompted with cold eyes .
It was the spark .
“Waaaaaaaaah!”
The players in the Gauss army no longer hesitated . Katz offered much better incentives than the quest rewards, making them all rush towards Seuron . Seuron shrank back from surprise and roared .
“Shit . . . ! Shit!! Overgeareddddd!”
The Overgeared Guild was a nightmare for Seuron . He was killed by a farmer in the invasion of Reidan and was unable to do anything big in the National Competition due to the Overgeared members wearing the items that Grid made . Seuron hated the Overgeared Guild, who left a stain on his life . He wanted to trample on them and get rid of the shameful past .
Yet now he was being trampled on with the power of money? Why did he get stuck in a situation where he was **** with the Overgeared members? It was enough to drive Seuron crazy .
"Do you think you can leave a scratch on me?”
“Kill! Kill Seuron!”
“We don’t have anyone strong . Hit him at the same time! One hit means a lot of money!”
“It’s mine!!”
A clash between the angry Seuron and the money-blinded Gauss players! Katz enjoyed the fierce sight from the walls . The power of money that made enemies into allies caused the whole world to shake .
***
Bairan’s siege had a special pattern . It was the first ever siege where the role of the one being sieged and the one attacking completely reversed .
Kiiiiik!
The firmly closed gate of Bairan once again opened .
“Hiik! Again!”
“D-Damage once again! Use the soldiers as a shield!”
The players belonging to Eternal started to retreat . The formations collapsed in an instant . The formations were a mess due to the players and the command system was temporarily paralyzed . The battlefield instantly became a mess .
At this time .
“I will show you my spirit today . ”
Pon rose a white horse through the open gate and threw his spear . Rail Spear .
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
The lightning spear blew through the Eternal army like a lightning storm . Hundreds of soldiers and players turned to grey .
“Hiyah!"
Pon pulled out a new spear and ran out . He broke into the collapsed Eternal formation and wielded his spear . The soldiers were slaughtered . It was the scene of a one-sided massacre due to the overwhelming power difference . But the massacre didn’t last long .
Just 100 people . Pon defeated 100 people before recovering his spear and returning .
“Foolish guys! I told you not to let the ranks break!”
"Reform the ranks! The enemy’s next attack is coming!"
The commanders verified that Pon was gone and gave orders to the soldiers . They wanted the siege weapons that arrived late to be escorted . But time was too tight . In addition, the players were a problem . The average level of the players at Bairan was 140 . Apart from a few people, the majority were low-level users who hadn’t received military training . The commanders did their best but the speed of the formations was too slow .
In the meantime, Yura emerged from the gate .
"I can’t let you use the siege weapons . ”
Peeng!
A Demon Slayer acquired black magic power each time they slew demonkin . She could use this black magic as a resource to activate special skills . One of them was black magic . This was a specialty of Yura who used to be first in the black magic rankings . She summoned black spheres and bombarded the enemy soldiers escorting the siege weapons . Her aim was the siege weapon and no one could stop her .
The elite Eternal soldiers were still only level 180 . Their abilities were useless in front of Yura’s agility and aggressiveness, making them fall into helplessness .
Kurururung!
“Shit! How long will we let her run wild?”
The Eternal players realized the seriousness of the situation when they saw the collapsing siege weapons and firmed up their hearts . They started to concentrate on attacking Yura . They were eager to clear the quest as they fired arrows and magic . Their average level was lower than the soldiers but Yura was tired from the war that lasted five days .
Pepepepeng!
“Ugh . ”
Yura started to allow attacks . She came out of the castle to fight, so she was physically and mentally at her limits . The good news was that Eternal’s players were weak . The difference in level and items was so severe that Yura wasn’t seriously injured . After barely enduring the attacks of the enemies and defeating the quota of 100 people, she returned to the castle .
Kuuong!
She flopped down as soon as the gate closed . Yura sat down . She gasped for breath as she sweated, while Pon spoke to her .
"The supplies are running out . The archers on the wall don’t have as many arrows and are running out of potions . We might only be able to last two more days . ”
Yura, Toon, and other skills members of Overgeared were concentrated in Bairan . They alternated going out of the castle and attacking the enemies in order to protect the castle without a loss of troops . But this wasn’t possible forever . They couldn’t get enough rest so their stamina recovery speed was slow and the durability of their items was at the bottom . Their potions were also running out .
It was a desperate situation for Bairan . But Yura didn’t want to give up Bairan .
“Definitely . . . I will definitely keep it . It will be dangerous for Patrian if Bairan collapses . ”
How much longer could they hold? Yura, Pon, Toon, and the Overgeared members . They risked their lives but wouldn’t be able to hold on for more than two days . Bairan would be finished if there were no reinforcements .
***
Chaaeng! Chaeeeeeng!
“Kikik! Kikikikik!”
Puk .
“Kiiiiik!”
Red Sun Forest . For Korean players, it was known as the ‘Hypnotic Forest,’ where strange sights could be seen . The dubrick racer, or the nimble creatures that were deemed ‘unhuntable’ due to their species characteristics were being slaughtered by a single swordsman .
Seokeok!
Puhahahak!
A speed that couldn’t be avoided . The white sword belonging to Kraugel blocked the dubrick racers that were three times faster than humans . The monsters that were 60 levels higher than him died . He wiped the sweat off his skin that was as beautiful as a woman’s and tucked his hair behind his ears . His high nose and deep eyes were revealed . The man was handsome enough to capture the hearts of men and women .
“Kraugel . ”
Hao arrived at Kraugel’s side . After discovering that Ares’ men were aiming for Kraugel, he stayed by Kraugel’s side for protection . Now he asked with an anxious expression .
“Is it really okay if you don’t go and help Overgeared?”
Kraugel had a great liking for Overgeared, and couldn’t hide his impatience while he grasped the war situation of Overgeared in real time . It seemed like he wanted to go and help Overgeared . But Kraugel continued hunting without heading to the Eternal Kingdom .
“Please let me know if there is anything stopping you from helping . I will assist you . ”
Kraugel could tell what Hao thought in his heart, since he was now quite familiar with Hao . Kraugel made a bitter smile and said, "Grid will want to avoid getting help from me . ”
“Why do you think that?”
"We are rivals before we are friends . ”
***
Pangea, the East Continent .
"Today is the third day . . . ”
Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!
The White Hammer blacksmiths were uneasy . Grid had been constantly hammering for the last three days . Could a person be okay after working three days without any rest? In particular, forging was something that required a tremendous amount of stamina . They were concerned about Grid’s health .
"Captain White, what do we do if Grid falls down? Shouldn’t he rest for a while?”
White shook his head at the concerned question . White was also showing signs of weariness . It was the aftermath of watching Grid work without sleeping for the past three days .
"Don’t disturb the concentration of Pangea’s Duke of Virtue . ”
Grid was a craftsman . Once he put his soul into making an item, he wouldn’t stop for food and rest . The work was the most important thing to them . White knew this because he grew up watching his father . He never intended to disturb Grid . This was a great choice .
Grid was able to focus with White’s support and succeeded in smelting the Red Phoenix Breath one day earlier than expected .
“Now . . . Now it is the real work . ”
Hwaruruk!
Grid increased the temperature of the furnace . The Legendary Blacksmith’s Patience was activated for the fourth time and reduced his fatigue .
Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!
Grid started the making of the Red Phoenix Bow . He had a vague inkling .
‘The best masterpiece will be born . ’
It was a well-founded confidence .
