Overgeared Chapter 1410:
‘How did they know to come?’
This was the question Grid had the moment the martial **** followers entered the dining room . It took 20 minutes to get to Bairan Castle . The followers of the martial **** appeared there like they had been waiting so he even wondered if there were spies in the castle .
Then he realized that he had ignored something Zikfrector mentioned . He failed to understand the logic of ‘securing a safe area by destroying the statues of the martial **** . ’ It was natural since Grid never instructed Lord to destroy the statues of the martial **** . There were few hints and not enough time to immediately understand Zikfrector’s remark .
‘He deliberately lured them . ’
Meanwhile, Zikfrector was convinced . Grid had created a safe zone by destroying the statues of the martial **** in the forest of the guardian . It meant he had seen how to get rid of the pursuit of the martial **** followers . Yet he dared to move locations and allow the followers to track them here . He showed a willingness to start a war for his new messenger by taking on the followers .
‘His quick judgment and steadfast courage are worthy of being an object of envy . ’
This was why Zikfrector had coveted Grid since the days when Juander was emperor . He appreciated Grid so much that he urged Grid to become the emperor of Saharan and he had a tendency to overestimate Grid . It was a time when Grid and Zikfrector’s thoughts intersected .
‘Is it a trap?’
Haegak felt a chill as the fragments of the exploded blood sword swept over his body . Haegak had never allowed any type of attack to hit since he gained sharper hearing and a sixth sense after abandoning his vision . Therefore, the burning sensation from his body was surprising .
Haegak turned to Grid’s direction . Despite the missed attack, this man’s firm attitude of forming blood again into a sword alerted Haegak . This guy—
He was the king of this kingdom who dared to impersonate a **** .
“You are Grid . I heard you killed Lee Jeong but he wasn’t very good . ” Haegak abandoned the unstable posture of the one-handed handstand and stood upright .
Grid opened his mouth, “Kukuk, Lee Jeong was the weakest of us—did you want to say something like that?”
This was a regular type of comment from Lauel . He would mutter it to himself every time the dispatched personnel failed and returned .
Haegak flinched and shut his mouth .
“ . . . Really . ” Grid frowned when he saw Haegak’s reaction and then he used Freely Move . The followers of the martial **** only marched forward . Their sole purpose was to achieve the peak of martial arts . Their essence didn’t change even if they were deceived by Zeratul and lost their sense of reason . Due to this setting, the skills they used weren’t simple . They were obsessed with techniques that were difficult to use, complex, and hard to hard . They also sought development in actual combat . In short, it meant they didn’t use targeting skills .
Moonlight flowed in from a collapsed outer wall . The followers’ weapons, fists, and kicks moved through along the light, scattering them and causing ripples . The techniques connected brilliantly, but they couldn’t even touch Grid’s fluttering cloak . It was because the power of Freely Move to avoid all non-targeting skills was absolute .
‘1 . 2 seconds . ’
Grid calculated the time the blood sword combined with the Magic Power Ejection Machine would last and reached Haegak . He immediately unleashed a four fusion sword dance . First, Linked Kill occurred and Haegak dodged with restrained movements .
At this moment, the accumulated combat experience rang a warning bell inside Grid .
‘A counterattack will come . ’
Wave Pinnacle was launched after Linked Kill . Haegak immediately recognized that it was impossible to avoid this and he stretched out his right arm . He didn’t use any recoil . He just threw his fist forward with his elbow down by his waist . The result was amazing .
[There are no attacks that you won’t recognize . ]
Grid’s transcendence was triggered . Originally, an attack gained speed by using the recoil of pulling back the arm but Haegak’s fist shot forward like a bullet despite omitting this process . Grid couldn’t afford to admire it . In a slow world, Grid avoided Haegak’s attack and saw the scene of the chain being pulled out as Haegak’s fist shot forward and deflecting the blood sword . It was an iron chain that connected both of Haegak’s wrists . It collided with the blood sword and bounced it back toward Grid . It was a really fast and sharp counterattack .
Grid didn’t even blink once . He already anticipated a counterattack and was prepared for the situation . The God Hands blocked the blood sword . Then the blood sword changed directions and returned to Haegak again . Grid’s response was indeed perfect . Unfortunately, the blood sword didn’t reach Haegak . Just before reaching Haegak, the duration ended and it exploded . Haegak was wounded by the fragments again and retreated from Grid .
‘He doesn’t have complete control over that sword . ’ It would’ve been dangerous if the blood sword hadn’t exploded and struck him directly . During the time when Grid was **** by Haegak, Zikfrector had bound five followers while Mercedes had killed three .
Zibal stabbed the followers who were bound by the runes that Zikfrector unfolded like a net and shouted, “Grid! Call out the ambushers!”
That’s right . Like Zikfrector and Haegak, Zibal also believed that Grid had designed this situation . It was natural . He wouldn’t have left the safe area without any countermeasures .
‘Was there an ambush?’
Haegak raised his senses . He could feel Grid and Zikfrector, as well as the sword energy scattered here and there . There was nothing good about increasing the number of enemies when there were already three strong opponents present who could overwhelm the followers who had learnt eight secret techniques .
‘I should aim for a quick fight . ’
It wouldn’t be easy . Haegak estimated that Grid’s skills were as good as his . Rather, it was right to see Grid as more favorable than himself seeing that Grid controlled 10 black-gold hands holding different weapons .
‘I can only hope that I have more reinforcements than there are ambushers . ’
In the worst case, he might have to borrow the ‘wings . ’ It was a method where four angel wings were implanted to force him to become an angel, or an apostle of the martial **** . It was a black magical art that caused extreme suffering by temporarily separating him from a human, making him lose his sense of ‘me’ in exchange for borrowing the power of an angel into a human body . In the first place, the relationship between the human world and angels was the worst . From the moment the wings were implanted, his mental strength and stamina would be worn out . Even his life span was decreased .
‘Lee Jeong hadn’t learned this black magical art . ’ Grid might be hit because he didn’t know about its existence . Haegak was judging the situation while Grid looked embarrassed .
‘Things would be worse if I had prepared an ambush . ’
It was necessary to stop the knights and soldiers who would come running after hearing the turmoil . The followers of the martial **** who appeared here had learned at least eight secret techniques . Ordinary knights and soldiers would just be cut down by them .
The best way to confront them was with a small number of elites and at least four elite people were gathered here . Himself, Mercedes, Zikfrector, and Zibal’s magic machine . . . no, Zibal . In this way, it was enough for the four of them to wipe out the followers . The rapidly rising skill proficiency when fighting the followers was a bonus . If they were lucky, they might get one of the martial god’s secret techniques .
“What ambush? We are enough . ”
Yes, there was no such thing as an ambush . It happened when Grid smiled while concealing his thoughts and raised his thumb . . .
The windows and walls on all sides shattered and new martial **** followers entered . There were at least 20 of them . The number of enemies doubled in an instant .
“You alone are enough? Haha! Yes, you can try it!”
Haegak shouted and the 40 followers rushed to Zikfrector . Their purpose was Zik of the Seven Evils . It was to eliminate the danger that could use all types of tricks to incite a rebellion against the heavenly gods .
Mercedes blocked the followers . She pushed away the leading followers with her shield, rotated while swinging her sword close to the ground, cutting the Achilles’ heel of the followers . The followers ignored her . They broke through the gaps caused by her attacking their colleagues and aimed all sorts of techniques at Zikfrector .
Zikfrector was slowly pushed to the defensive . His body was weakened due to just awakening from the long sleep the Curse of Sloth put him under and the ancient magic using runes took time to unfold . He couldn’t easily handle the followers who rushed in from all directions without caring about defense .
Grid tried to help him .
Where are you going?” However, Haegak blocked Grid’s way .
It just stretched out, out, and out . Haegak’s right fist flew forward at high speed without the help of the recoil and forced Grid into the world of transcendence .
Grid dodged while noting that the right arm had more developed muscles than the left arm . It seemed that his habit of moving around using his right arm wasn’t for nothing . The reason why the follower blindfolded himself, restrained his hands and feet, and did a handstand with one arm was all part of training . The training of unusual intensity developed his body and combat skills .
Grid understood this too . This was why he did his next action .
Click!
So far, both hands had been restrained by Lee Jeong’s handcuffs .
[Lee Jeong’s Handcuffs have been unequipped . The attack range, hit rate, and attack power of the equipped weapon are restored to normal . Some of the skills that have been sealed will be released . ]
“Kukuk!Kuhahaha!Haegak saw Grid removing the handcuffs around his wrists and burst out laughing . It was an action that showed he found it absurd . Haegak also loosened the iron chains restraining his wrists and the chains that fell to the ground caused it to shake . Haegak released the chains binding his ankles and the shackles fell into a hole it created in the ground . “Lee Jeong’s handcuffs are half the weight of my handcuffs . ”
Finally, Haegak took off his blindfold . All the restrictions for training were removed . Haegak disappeared like smoke . The moment Grid took one step back, Haegak’s kick passed by the tip of Grid’s nose .
[You have suffered 1,900 damage . ]
His nose bled . Grid definitely felt it . Haegak became several times faster and stronger than before . The attack hit rate had risen to the point where it was difficult to dodge even using the world of transcendence . The depth of the martial arts that predicted the target’s response combined with vision made him a monster .
“The Triad . . . it wasn’t a bluff . ” Grid honestly admired it .
Haegak shrugged in response, but he didn’t let down his guard . He had determined that he might have to transplant the wings in exchange for his life, so he couldn’t underestimate Grid .
“Sky . ”
The strongest single sword dance cut through the waves of moonlight .
Grid suppressed Haegak with Restraint, appeared behind Haegak, and entered the Transcend state . He connected Kill and Pinnacle to restrict Haegak’s movements . Dozens of blue petals appeared in the area and exploded with a wave-like momentum . Grid pierced Haegak with Dragon and blood scattered .
[The heavenly gods are paying attention to you . ]
Sky was a sword dance that announced the birth of a new sky . The attention of the gods was natural and interest was directly linked to hostility . This was why Grid suppressed the sword dance, Sky, that was powerful enough to be a fusion sword dance .
However, that was a story of the past . There was no hesitation in the current Grid . From the moment the heavenly gods imprisoned Hexetia, the relationship between Grid and the gods had become irreversible . The battle between Grid and Haegak intensified dramatically .
Grid gradually increased his momentum by using stronger sword dances while Haegak responded with the dozens of martial arts that he had trained in . The strong wind that stretched out from Haegak’s fist failed to hit Grid and destroyed a spire before being extinguished .
Then the God Hands deflected Haegak’s next strike and fell to the ground . Next, Haegak was cut on the thigh in exchange for blocking a sword dance and leaned over . He grabbed Grid’s collar, used a grappling technique and tossed Grid away . However, Grid appeared in front of Haegak again using Shunpo and swung his sword . Grid and Haegak’s attacks moved along all types of trajectories and collided, creating shockwaves that shook the castle .
Haegak, who had been concentrating for a long time, suddenly burst out laughing . “Hahaha! Aren’t you too focused on me?”
The scene was filled with a **** smell . It would surely be the blood of Zik who was surrounded by dozens of followers .
“The 6th evil is dying while you are **** by me . . . ”
Haegak was talking while enjoying the situation only for his eyes to widen . It was quiet . There wasn’t a single noise at the scene other than his own voice . He felt something strange and turned his head, only to be shocked . All his followers were corpses . A silver-haired man sat on the mountain of corpses like it was a throne, a farmer and an angel on his left and right sides .
“What . . . ?”
What type of bizarre combination was this? Haegak couldn’t understand the sight unfolded before him and seemed to have an illusion that the shadows around him were shaking . Then he soon realized it wasn’t an illusion . It was due to two assassins rising from the shadows and attacking him .
Grid smiled brightly . “You should’ve been careful of an ambush . ”
