Overgeared Chapter 1112:

‘I will kill you because you are stronger than me . ’

Asmophel’s serious declaration contained a misuse of words .  It was the right of the strong to kill or spare someone .  If the weak talked about life and death, then it was likely that anger would rise beyond the absurdity .

‘Daring to deny the providence of power—this is a blasphemy against the war god!’

It happened from the time he experienced the miracle of the war **** .  No, Kyle had already become a fanatic the moment he peeked at the ultimate technique presented by the war **** .  Dignity and rule of law were all created by strength .  He was fully educated in this type of belief and only revered strength .

I will teach you providence . You will learn with your death . ’ 

Kyle gritted his teeth .  He was certain there were no variables to worry about as he knew the meaning of Asmophel’s ‘Fire Sword’ title and his Flower technique .

‘I just need to watch carefully . ’

Most people didn’t know it, but Asmophel’s swordsmanship didn’t only exert power when it blossomed . It also exerted power when it gave out a sparky glow .  Kyle needed to be careful, but if he paid attention, there was nothing Asmophel could do to make up for their difference in skill .

After being hit by the sheath, Kyle’s eyes started to recover quickly .  The electric current became his blood, his flesh, and then his bone .  It was the result of using the best regeneration technique, just like when he restored the arm that he had lost a long time ago .  This was a power he had learned because of the war **** .  It was literally a miracle .

‘The method consumes so much stamina that it is hidden in a number of secret techniques . ’

There was no chance .  Nothing would work against him . . .  

“Free Farming . ”

“ . . . ?” Kyle, who was wary of Asmophel, doubted his ears as he checked his recovered vision .  Supreme Swordsmanship, the swordsmanship that was passed through Piaro’s family for generations—it was the power that symbolized Piaro .  Kyle never dreamed that Asmophel would use Supreme Swordsmanship .

‘ . . . No, did I hear it wrong?’

He was so perplexed that he was mistaken for a moment . It seemed to have been a different name from Supreme Swordsmanship . (TL: Supreme Swordsmanship and Free Farming are only different in one character, so they sound similar) 

Still, it was only for a moment .  Kyle’s thoughts were complicated .

“Altered Style . ” Asmophel succeeded in reproducing the power of the number of Piaro .

“W-What is this?” 

Kyle’s currents, which had been spread out like a spider web in all directions in preparation for Mercedes’ intervention, started to vibrate simultaneously .  It was a warning of danger .

“ . . . !?” Kyle belatedly noticed the forest was covered by darkness and looked up reflexively .  Then he witnessed it .  A huge pillar was falling from the sky .

‘A tree trunk?’

It had the form of a trunk that had been increased by thousands or tens of thousands in size .  The falling pillar was covered by thousands of thorns . They were big and sharp thorns that would pierce the body with a slight touch .

“You’ve mastered a weird trick!”

The Power of the Number Two—Asmophel’s unique characteristic that developed out of his desire to surpass the number one was a power that Kyle didn’t know about .  He never imagined that the basis of the farming method reproduced by Asmophel was Piaro .

That’s right .  Asmophel wasn’t using Piaro’s Supreme Swordsmanship .  Where did he learn a strange skill with a name so similar that it made him sound cool?

Kyle became incandescent .  It was the first time he showed off his power, which had previously only been used for attack and propulsion .  He became an electric current itself .  One foot late, a pillar fell over Kyles head .  It devoured Kyle without a trace and crushed the entire forest within a 20-meter-radius .  

“Uh . . . Uhhh?”

“ . . . ”

Mercedes was able to see Asmophel’s abilities with Keen Insight .  Everyone except for her was speechless .  She knew Asmophel was strong, but she hadn’t known it was to this extent .  Asmophel’s power, which caused a disaster to fall onto a single human, shocked the Sword Knights and the former single digit knights .

Player Resh was also surprised in a different sense .

‘Is he also a farmer?’

Free Farming—the dramatic play of the legendary farmer Piaro against Great Demon Belial was a video that received billions of views .  Resh never thought Asmophel could use it as well . . .

Was the Overgeared Kingdom a training center for farmers? Were the former single digit knights gathered together because they wanted to be farmers? Then it happened when Resh was thinking seriously .

“Pant . . . Pant . . .  Grab the elves and flee . ” In the silence, Asmophel barely opened his mouth while gasping roughly . “I didnt kill him . ”

Simultaneously, a flash of lightning flew toward Asmophel’s chest .  It wasn’t just one .  The lightning struck again and again, turning Asmophel’s body into rags .  Finally, Asmophel sat down like a broken doll .  Then the bombardment stopped .  The white light stopped by Asmophel and gradually took a human form .  It was Kyle’s hand that viciously grabbed Asmophel’s golden hair .

“You have humiliated me in all sorts of ways . This weak thing . . . This weak thing!” Kyle gritted his teeth .

His body, which had shaken off the electric current and returned to human form, was almost half crushed .  It was an unexpected result for Kyle .  In the electric current state, his body didn’t involve any physical force, and his resistance to all properties was significantly increased .  With such a formula, it meant that he was expected to be fine, even if he was hit by the pillar .

However, the pillar was a concentration of energy superior to sword energy, and it was powerful enough to seriously injure the electrified Kyle .  It was natural .  Asmophel recreated Piaro’s suppression energy that was the power of nature itself .  It was impossible for Kyle to fully handle the power that destroyed even the body of a great demon .

“Kuaaaaah!” Kyle roared as he almost died to an opponent weaker than him .  He had sinned against the war **** by denying the providence of power .  It was clear the war **** would be disappointed in him .  He might not be able to learn the ultimate technique .

“You . . . ! You!!” All sorts of anxiety and anger shook Kyle’s sense of reason .  He was unrelenting in his desire to kill Asmophel .  A spear of electricity aimed at Asmophel’s neck .  Of course, his attack was in vain .  It was because Mercedes came out .  A shield surrounded by sword energy changed the trajectory of the electric spear, and simultaneously, Kyle’s jaw was hit .  The ensuing attack was a kick with rotational power .

“ . . . ”

Kyle’s appearance of being successively struck in the chin and back like a frog confused many people .  Would it be so easy for her to beat the person who defeated three single digit knights and Asmophel alone?

‘ . . . No, it won’t be easy,’ the Sword Knights denied it .  Even Resh, who wanted Kyle to die, had this thought, ‘Is he so hurt and agitated that he let down his vigilance for a while?’ 

It was as expected .

“Kuoock . . . ! Shit! Dammit! Like one! Like one . . . !” Kyle rose up again .

There was blood in his eyes as he electrified his left arm and swung it like a whip .  It all happened in an instant .  Resh and the Sword Knights simple saw it as ‘a lightning bolt struck Mercedes’ head . ’ However, Mercedes stood up and blocked that lightning bolt with her shield .

“This is crazy!”

Every time Kyle wielded the whip, the Sword Knights saw flashes of lightning .  Eventually, dozens of lightning bolts were created at the same time, and they flew to enter Mercedes’ defense .  Even so . . .

“ . . . ”

Mercedes was fine without a single scratch .  Her white hair wasn’t in disarray, as if not even static electricity was allowed to touch her .  Kyle was speechless .  Mercedes’ sheer speed and agility prevented all close combat while his electric currents were nullified by a single shield .  It wasn’t even an iron shield .  

‘Even if the electric currents are offset by sword energy, it is normal for the residuals to remain . ’

It was a natural phenomenon for the residual energy to seep into the shield, transfer to the armor, and electrocute Mercedes .  So, how did she manage to block it? In the incomprehensible chaos that deepened, Kyle continued to wield his whip as he suddenly realized something .  His vision was blurring .

“Ah . . . ” Kyle looked down at his body .  His ribs were all crushed, and his back was half torn . White bones were exposed below his rattling left shoulder .  It wouldn’t be strange if he died soon .  Out of instinct, most of the electric currents were invested into wound recovery, which would weaken his damage .  Since the opponent was a knight with Keen Insight, his weak spots would’ve been attacked without his knowledge .

‘It isn’t possible . ’

There were no odds of victory .  He hadn’t calculated that he would suffer so much damage from Asmophel .

Stagger .  One step .

Stagger . Two steps .

Kyle slowly stepped back from Mercedes .  He was making calculations .

‘At this point, even the arrogant 12 Te would be running over . ’

The 12 Te had heavy buttocks . They thoroughly maintained their position unless it was a very special case .  Now that the World Tree’s Forest was so badly damaged, it should count as one of the special cases .

‘I have to leave here . ’

It wasn’t too late .  If the Sword Knights shielded him, he would be able to avoid Mercedes’ pursuit .  However, even his Origin True Energy would be exhausted if he got surrounded by the 12 Te . He needed to hurry .

“Retreat . Buy me some time,” Kyle commanded .

“ . . . I don’t want to,” the Sword Knights refused the order .

“ . . . ??” The perplexed Kyle shouted, “I am an agent of Prince Dulandal! Here, I am your master! You dare to reject the orders of your master despite being knights?”

Kyle was ugly in his fury .  The Sword Knights squirmed, but it was Resh who stepped forward .

“We have already broken the knight’s chivalric code once . It was at your command . It isn’t hard to break the chivalric code once more . ”

“But this isn’t about the chivalric code . It is treason! Do you think Dulandal will keep you alive?”

“I feel like I will die if I fight here . If I’m going to die anyway, I will choose to avoid killing meaninglessly . ”

Resh and the Sword Knights looked around .  The elves were holding their bows .  They had surrounded the knights from the moment that Mercedes’ group arrived .  There was no way for them to survive anyway .

“Disgraceful . . . I’ll tear you apart and kill you . . . ”

Kyle wouldn’t die .  He might take a lot of damage without the knights as his shield, but he would eventually be able to escape .  Kyle started to raise his Origin True Energy, and the currents that surrounded him grew to an unprecedented strength .  At this moment, unidentified figures in gray clothing fell around Kyle .  One of them bizarrely had his eyes covered .

“Kyle . We received a divine message and have come to save you . ”

It was the appearance of the followers of the war **** active on the West Continent .  They tried to use the Light Footwork Technique to take Kyle away .

“All of you can’t run away . ” Mercedes blocked the path of the followers with a white transparent sword .

“ . . . !?”

The cries of a tiger filled the forest .  Arrows poured down like rain, bushes hindered their vision, and there were sharp thorns and bumpy rocks .  The war **** followers, who had been leisurely breaking through all the obstacles, lost their balance and started to fall down .
