Overgeared Chapter 1311:
“There is no access from here on . ”
At the road to Kars, capital of the Cho Kingdom . . .
He picked a rough mountain road to move, but the defense was thorough . It was clear what it would be like elsewhere . Even a single ant wouldn’t be able to enter Kars .
“I have business in Kars . When will the access restrictions be lifted?”
“I’m not sure . . . the capital can’t be blocked forever, so I think it will be released soon . ”
“Can I ask what incident happened?
“What incident? We are just preparing for an important festival, so we’re temporarily blocking anyone outside from entering . ”
“Is that so? Then keep up the good work . ”
The capital was the heart and face of the kingdom . It wasn’t good if it was known that something had happened in the capital, so he understood the position of the Cho Kingdom .
Kraugel politely bade farewell to the soldiers before secretly using True Clouds . Blue clouds covered the foggy mountains and the soldiers’ five senses were temporarily paralyzed . Kraugel leisurely passed through the blockade .
“Why are there clouds all of a sudden . . . ?”
The bewildered soldiers couldn’t imagine that the handsome young man who just went back had already passed by them .
***
Upon arriving in Kars, Kraugel examined the city while avoiding the eyes of the soldiers . There were white bones scattered throughout the city and traces of tombstones being excavated . It was clear that the reason for the collapse of the street houses and palace walls was a necromancer’s invasion . There were also traces of at least a dozen necromancers invading .
‘This . . . ?’
Kraugel frowned as he searched through the rubble of a wall . The wall’s surface was uneven like they had been cut with a saw, but there were no cracks in the cut part . It was proof that a saw blade, not a sword blade, had cut the wall quickly in one blow . Kraugel knew the master of this swordsmanship .
‘Cao . ’
The orc warrior death knight . It was none other than Agnus’ servant . In other words, it meant there weren’t dozens of necromancers who invaded Kars . It was Agnus alone . Agnus had been working alone since he abandoned Immortal . Some people might argue that one player couldn’t turn a big city into ruins .
‘They are safe despite Agnus’ invasion . ’
Kraugel’s thoughts were the opposite . He was greatly impressed with Kars’ power, which protected the city after Agnus’ invasion .
‘Is it the power of the red phoenix?’
Kraugel quickly inferred the reason why Agnus failed to capture Kars . The loss of the Kars army was surprisingly small . There were few casualties, so Agnus had difficulty securing bodies and he eventually had to withdraw . It must’ve been possible because the power of the red phoenix continued to heal the wounds of the soldiers .
‘It seems that Agnus hasn’t grown unexpectedly . ’
The Baal’s Contractor who momentarily appeared in Muller’s story showed the dignity of an absolute . It was enough for him to protect the Behen Archipelago alone from the great demons’ forces . Moreover, soldiers died more easily than great demons . The dead soldiers were soon resurrected as slaves to Baal’s Contractor, so it was impossible for a human army to stop Baal’s Contractor .
Yet Kars stopped Agnus’ invasion relatively easily . All the houses outside the city inner walls were destroyed . They gave up on the outer walls and defeated Agnus . It was a remarkable achievement even considering that Agnus was incomparably weaker than the former Baal’s Contractor . Judging from the status of the tombstones, Agnus must’ve spent quite a long time collecting power .
‘Even such a powerful kingdom became infinitely smaller in front of the yangbans . ’
Kraugel indirectly felt the greatness of the yangbans and looked tired .
“Kraugel?”
Kraugel waited without avoiding the familiar voice and a woman appeared . She was none other than Jishuka, the woman so beautiful that it made Kraugel impressed even though he didn’t care about the concept of appearance .
“Did you help the Cho Kingdom?”
One more reason was added to Agnus’ defeat . Kraugel quickly grasped the situation and Jishuka smiled at him .
“It is the strength of the Bow Saint . ”
It was Bow Saint, not Povia’s Descendant—someone who succeeded in pioneering her own path was standing right in front of him . Kraugel’s eyes were extremely warm as he gazed at Jishuka . His respect was revealed .
“Congratulations on becoming a legend . ”
“There is still a long way to go when compared to Grid, but . . . thank you . ”
Jishuka scratched her head like she was embarrassed by the praise . She showed no signs of regret at all . Kraugel was once again convinced—it was definitely more interesting to carve out his own path . He had pursued pure fun from the game after his mother overcame her illness, so he shouldn’t forget the essence of ‘the game should be fun . ’
“I am the thankful one . Thanks to you, I can see hope . ”
“Huh? What?
“Haha . ”
“What is it? Tell me quickly . ”
Jishuka was the only person in the world who could grab the collar of Sword Saint Kraugel and he couldn’t help laughing . Kraugel had a brief exchange with her and left for Kaya .
***
Time was fair to everyone . Just as the members of the Overgeared Guild grew during Grid’s adventures, Mercedes also wrote new chivalry codes . The place where a knight should die was the battlefield . It was a chivalry code written from the enlightenment gained by seeing Irene’s young and healthy appearance .
Mercedes noticed that Grid didn’t want his precious people to die a vain death and injected energy into her body through the new chivalry code . The results were astounding . Miraculously, the origin true energy that she used to fight the ancient monster was restored . Her bone density increased and her white hair returned to its original color . Layers of skin fell off to be replaced by new skin and the scars and calluses on her body disappeared .
At first, Mercedes was in turmoil . She felt ashamed that her hands and skin had become as soft as a child’s . She had lost the calluses she gained from training all her life and was worried she might’ve lost her qualifications to be a knight . It was a groundless worry . She was actually undergoing a metamorphosis—it was an evolution, not a degeneration .
“I remember the first time I met you . ”
Grid smiled brightly when he saw the blue hair that Mercedes had recovered . The first meeting—Mercedes recalled the memory of telling Grid to kneel and blushed .
“I-I’m sorry . ”
“It is as pretty as it was back then . Don’t let it turn white again . ”
It wasn’t just a confession of his tastes . It was advice telling her not to overdo it . Origin true energy was something that was directly related to life force . Grid didn’t want to see Mercedes exhaust her origin true energy because of him again . It was heartbreaking when thinking back to the sight of her hair turning white .
“I will keep that in mind . ”
Mercedes gave a good answer . Contrary to her response, the light in her eyes was blazing . Grid saw it and shook his head .
‘If the same situation occurs, then I will protect you . ’
Grid definitely felt it—he had become stronger . It was enough to be considered the strongest in the Overgeared Kingdom . Therefore, he walked while thinking he should take on greater responsibility . Suddenly, he stopped in place . It was due to the man standing in the middle of the large hallway . The moonlight flowing through the window shone on his silver hair .
“Braham . ”
Braham’s nose was raised so high it seemed like it would hit the ceiling . Braham’s lowered eyes and raised chin made it seem like he was looking down on the world as always . “You are cocky . ”
“Huh?”
Was this what should be said to a friend he hadn’t seen in a long time? Grid frowned when he heard the word ‘cocky’ instead of welcoming words . Then Braham smiled and flicked his finger . The landscape changed . The wide hallway covered with a red carpet and the scenery of the night sky collapsed and soon disappeared . Countless bookshelves started to fill the space like grains of sand in the desert . This infinite library was one of Braham’s mental worlds . It was his first world, the Knowledge Room .
“This is unbelievable . . . ”
Grid started shaking in an overwhelming manner . He was overwhelmed by Braham’s mental world, which was so large that it reminded him of Chiyou . It was already another world . It could be added to concepts such as earth, hell, and heaven . Braham was even able to implement a total of three worlds . This meant that even this huge world was only a party of Braham .
“Do you know what people should be most vigilant about?” Braham appeared where the corners of the library were cut at certain angles and asked .
Grid carefully replied, “I think it is laziness . ”
He had recently witnessed the frightening power of laziness . The grandmaster when he was affected by the Curse of Sloth was completely different from when he overcame it .
Braham shook his head . “No, the most important thing to watch out for is pride . ”
“……”
Was this what he should be saying? Braham was arrogant and thought he was the best in the world . Did he perhaps read Grid’s mind as Grid glared at Braham?
“I’m not arrogant because I am the best . ”
“Ah, yes .
“On the other hand, you are different . ”
Braham’s red eyes were more provocative today .
“You are still a child . Don’t mistakenly think you are strong yet . ”
Grid was frustrated . He fully understood Braham’s intentions, but he still found it unpleasant . It was ridiculous that Braham still considered him a child when he had learned Chiyou’s secret technique and built up his divinity . He wondered, “Is there a problem with your eyes?”
“Are you trying to deny my assessment?”
“Of course . ”
“Then try changing my assessment . ”
Braham pulled out Belial’s Staff and placed it at an angle on his shoulder . His expression was terribly arrogant as he dared Grid to try it . Grid didn’t refuse . He really wanted to accurately judge how far his skills had developed . Braham hadn’t yet regained his original strength, so they should be well-matched .
Grid deployed Transcend just by holding the sword . Then he immediately used Shunpo . The moment he appeared behind Braham, he realized that Braham had disappeared from view . Shunpo, which was proof of a transcendent, was met with teleportation magic . Grid was amazed by the power of ‘magic that is triggered without casting’ and looked around . Then he heard Braham’s voice from above his head . “This is one of the ways to hit a person using Shunpo . ”
“ . . . . . . !”
Did he predict how Grid would fight? The magic that Braham cast in advance using Alarm was triggered in a timely manner . It was Disintegrate . A spear of light that destroyed existences pierced Grid’s body .
‘It is harder than I thought . ’
There was light in Braham’s eyes as he watched Grid trembling in pain . It was because Grid endured the legendary great magic . It was so amazing that Braham got goosebumps all over his body . This was the first time that Braham had opened his mental world against a human and armed himself with a staff . His plan was to smash Grid with one blow to teach him a lesson before letting Grid learn a new spell .
He was surprised because contrary to his thoughts, it wasn’t that easy .
‘He has reached the stage where I need to worry . ’
Was it him who was arrogant? There was a smile on Braham’s face . It felt completely different from his usual twisted smile . It was a smile derived from pure admiration and joy .
