Overgeared Chapter 175:


Chapter 175

When he was a highschool student . Lee Junho only believed in his fist, and tormented children weaker than him . Mental and physical abuse were basic, and he also extorted money . In school, he was the king .

No one could resist and had to obey him . One of the tormented was Shin Youngwoo . He would shiver when frightened and would become grumpy if his pride was trampled on . Youngwoo was the same, even after going to university and the military .

Lee Junho mocked him every time they met at the alumni meeting . But what was this? The person who appeared at this year’s reunion was significantly different . He was economically successful and confident .

On the other hand, Lee Junho hadn’t changed from his school days . He couldn’t abandon his gangster mentality and couldn’t adapt to society . He was in his late 20’s and could only find part time jobs .

Lee Junho became ashamed of himself . He got off the throne he was sitting on and faced reality .

‘I need to change, like Youngwoo . ’

Lee Junho was determined . Like Youngwoo, he tried to overcome his past self in order to achieve a new and successful life .

First of all, he abandoned his futile pride . He worked hard to find jobs at gas stations, convenience stores, PC Cafes and construction sites . He didn’t boast . He didn’t spend much money . He saved one penny, two pennies, and eventually realized something .

How wasteful was it to rob others of money with violence? He also realized it every time he was ignored by the customers for being a part-time worker . He believed that the act of ignoring the weak was a sin that shouldn’t be forgiven .

‘…I’m sorry, Shin Youngwoo . ’

On his way back home after his part time job . Lee Junho was smoking in a smoking booth and apologized to Youngwoo in his mind . There was a bitter smile on his face .

“If I could have an opportunity to apologize to you, I will never show up in front of you again . ”

The Satisfy National Competition was relayed on billboards on skyscrapers . He was able to see Youngwoo’s appearance there . Now he was a person in a completely different world .

Many people stopped along the way and looked up at Youngwoo on the billboard . Among the crowd was Youngwoo’s sister, Sehee .

“Cool . ”

Yerim was with Sehee and sincerely admired him . She was completely fascinated by Youngwoo, who appeared to save Yura and overwhelm the foreign teams .

“He is capable, strong and overflowing with confidence . Your brother is really the best man . ”

“The game and reality are different . I admire my brother, but he isn’t the best man . ”

Sehee tried to return Yerim to reality, but it was useless .

“Aren’t you aware that Satisfy isn’t a simple game? Satisfy is already another reality . He is the best man in that reality . ”

Yerim knew it more accurately than Sehee . She had a more mature appearance than her age and proclaimed with a giggle, “I will surely have your brother . ”

Gulp .

The men starting around them were attracted to Yerim and lost their souls . There was the sound of gulping here and there . Several men who looked like gangsters were already approaching . Sehee glared at them and asserted to Yerim .

“You don’t fit Oppa’s taste . ”

“Huh?” Yerim’s eyes widened . She looked at Sehee’s sulky expression and laughed . “Sorry, sorry . Sehee, I forgot how much you love your brother . I’m sorry for making you jealous . ”

“I’m not just saying this . You really don’t fit Oppa’s taste . ”

“Ye~? What man would dislike me?”

Yerim was considered the best queen of South Korea’s high school system along with Sehee, so her self-esteem was very high . Sehee explained the reason for her confident words .

“Oppa likes **** girls . ”

Yerim tilted her head to one side .

“Aren’t I pretty big?”

“You need to at least have a D cup . ”

On the billboard, Youngwoo was saving Jishuka from Hurent . It was natural to save Yura because she was a Korean, but wasn’t Jishuka a representative of another country? Why did he save her? Yerim confirmed Jishuka’s large chest and pouted .

“Really, that’s his taste?”

“He’s a dog in rut . ”

Sehee was furious . She was annoyed to see that woman hanging onto her brother .

“I’m going . ”

In the end, Sehee turned away from the electronic billboard and moved towards the library . Yerim wanted to see more of the broadcast, but was forced to follow Sehee . Then she thought .

‘I’m not even 20 years old yet, so should I try for a D cup?’

She was seriously considering it .



***

Hurent gazed at Jishuka and Grid .

He took a health potion and an antidote before speaking .

“This isn’t a common antidote… The poison arrows are quite awful . ”

He checked the scoreboard .

‘Korea has 131 points, the US has 82 points, Brazil has 73 points, the United Kingdom has 60 points and Spain has 0 . ’

Now there were only five countries left . Spain was ruled out . The Spanish team’s Med was on the verge of being logged out by Regas . Hurent understood the battlefield and sent a whisper to Lauel in the rear .

–Get out of battle and focus on handling the targets . We have given up on the gold medal, but we need to take the silver medal .

—Isn’t the damage pretty big? Can you afford to go against Pagma’s Descendant in that state?

The seven golden blades were still moving by themselves and destroying the targets . Hurent confirmed the scene and smiled darkly .

–Why not?

Ttadak .

Hurent looked at Grid .

“Since the situation is like this, shall I enjoy it a little?”

It was an obvious provocation! The confident Grid wasn’t going to fall for that provocation .

“Stop fooling around . ”

The 1st ranked Kraugel . The 2nd ranked Zibal . The 3rd ranked Chris . The 7th ranked Agnus . The 8th ranked Hurent . The 11th ranked Bondre . Finally, the 14th ranked Hao . Yura had called them the seven people stronger than her .

Grid distinctly remembered it . However, he wasn’t nervous at all, despite Hurent being one of them . He was someone who raided the strongest boss monsters alone! He was confident that he could beat high rankers with his stats, skills and items .

“Jishuka, leave him to me and concentrate on the targets . Don’t you want the silver medal?”

“Yes…! Thank you!”

Jishuka thanked Grid and disappeared into the forest with Samuel . Once Grid was alone with Hurent, he immediately unfolded his sword dance .

“Pagma’s Swordsmanship!”

The moment Grid moved two steps .

Puok!

A 5m long red blade emerged from Hurent’s fingertip and pierced Grid’s chest .



[You have suffered 4,600 damage . ]



‘Eh?’

Hurent attacked with timing that couldn’t be coped with, because Grid was busy with his sword dance . The damage was considerable .

‘I suffered that much damage despite my legendary armor set?’

Or was it the default damage of aura? Grid was confused but his best skill was already being used .

“Kill!”

Kuooooh!

The giant blue greatsword filled with hatred roared as it headed for Hurent .

Kwarururung!

The trees in the area vibrated due to the overwhelming waves of energy coming from it . Grid had planned to blow Hurent away . However…

Hurent moved sideways at the correct timing and avoided Kill . Then he moved back to Grid and aimed his aura blades at the gap exposed by the greatsword swing .



[You have suffered 4,600 damage . ]

[You have suffered 4,600 damage . ]



‘It’s constant damage . Aura, does it ignore defense and deal a fixed damage?’

Grid frowned as he belatedly understood . The energy of Kill pierced empty air and faded . Hurent clicked his tongue . “In order to hit with a non-targeted skill, you first have to restrain your opponent’s movements . If that isn’t possible, you should predict their movements . Isn’t that part of the basics?”

Grid took a potion to restore his health and asked, “Are you attempting to teach me right now?”

“Teach? Hahat! Nonsense . Is there any reason to do that type of favor for you? I’m simply disappointed . You have the strongest class and this is the extent of your skills~? Don’t you have any combat experience?”

Grid snapped at him .

“Of course I have combat experience…! You can’t imagine how many bosses I’ve raided alone so far!”

Hurent chuckled .

“Is your combat experience limited to boss raids? Kukuk, of course, bosses are strong . But don’t they just fight with strength or with a fixed pattern? They don’t fight cleverly . Yes, just like you . Can’t you see that the difference in our combat experience is too big?”

“Talking nonsense just because you avoided my skill once . ”

The heated Grid moved his sword like butterflies dancing . This time, he was going to hit Hurent’s cheeky face . But Pagma’s Swordsmanship had a weakness . In order to activate the skill, the name must be said . This took a minimum of 0 . 8 to 2 seconds before the skill was activated .

Obviously, some people would feel that this was a short amount of time . In fact, none of the players, monsters and bosses Grid met had touched him during this time . But didn’t Yura counter in 0 . 5 seconds when facing a Crusher? Furthermore, Hurent was much better than her .

Teook!

The moment that Grid took the first step of his sword dance .

Puuok!



[You have suffered 4,600 damage . ]

[You have suffered 4,600 damage . ]



Hurent hit Grid twice during that time . At the same time, he escaped to the rear, opening up a distance .

“Kuk!”

Grid checked the distance and decided it was impossible, cancelling his activation of Link .

‘It stinks . ’

He admitted that Hurent was strong . It was accepted compared to the bosses he had faced so far . The aura’s fixed damage and ability to freely transform its shape was quite annoying, but the vulnerable part was that he couldn’t use a skill .

Certainly, Grid had experience fighting . However, he perceived it after two skills became useless .

“Are you going to use a skill haphazardly again? Do you have no learning ability?”

Hurent sighed as if Grid was pathetic . In the end, Grid rushed to him .

“Okay! I can just swing my sword instead of using skills . Then will you be able to avoid it? Eh? Blacksmith’s Rage!”

Jjejeong!

The +9 Failure clashed with the aura blades .

‘Strong . ’

Hurent confirmed that his aura shook like a fire in front of wind and clicked his tongue . He tried to open a distance with Grid, but his basic movement speed wasn’t enough .

Jjejeong! Jjang!

Grid persistently stuck to Hurent and swung his sword . Hurent barely managed to defend and confirmed that the cooldown of his Escape skill was over .

“Escape . ”

Peeng!

This close-range distance skill was something that all warrior classes possessed . Hurent managed to get 5m away from Grid and shifted some of his aura to his lower half .



[Attack power is reduced by 30% . ]

[Movement speed has increased by 30% . ]



‘Faster?’

Grid was no longer able to narrow down the distance to Hurent, who was running away like a coward . In the end, he swapped out to the Ideal Dagger, used Quick Movements and shouted at Hurent .

“Let’s finish this game . ”

Pepepepeok!

Hurent leaped towards where there were a lot of targets and released his aura all around him . There was an explosion and the US team’s score quickly updated .

『 The United States has 109 points! Really amazing! After logging out the representatives from France, China and Japan, Hurent destroyed 16 targets in a single strike while running from Pagma’s Descendant! 』

“What are you trying to do?”

Grid wanted to help Jishuka and Regas . He wanted their countries to win the silver and bronze medals . Therefore, he chased after Hurent to stop him . Thanks to his high persistence, Grid’s stamina remained steady while Hurent gradually became exhausted .

‘I thought he invested most of his stats into strength, then some into agility and stamina . But now I see that his stats are high overall . Indeed, a blacksmith can increase their stats dramatically through the production of items . ’

Over time, Hurent could grasp more about Grid . But his breathing was becoming labored and he was slowing down .

‘I almost caught up!’

Grid’s eyes sparkled . This was the end . He would soon catch that annoying guy .

Grid was filled with pleasure, but there was a problem .

『 South Korean team-! 150 points! Victoryyy! 』

“What…?”

Grid noticed his mistake . He forgot about the presence of Yura and the pavranium . He didn’t tell Yura that he wanted to beat the US team, and he didn’t recall the target destruction order that he gave to the pavranium . Yura and the pavranium kept destroying the targets while he pursued Hurent, eventually leading to this .

“Bye-bye~?”

Hurent laughed, as he had predicted this situation from the beginning . Grid was forced to log out . It was a rule that the team who achieved the quota could no longer remain on the battlefield .

After that .

The United States were the next to reach 150 points after South Korea and achieved the silver medal . Britain and Brazil was left behind to compete for third place, and Britain eventually became the winner .

Jishuka’s ability to destroy targets was much better than Natasha, but her partner was the problem . Samuel was too lacking and couldn’t protect Jishuka from Regas . In the end, hundreds of thousands of spectators watched as the Korean, United States, and United Kingdom team got on the podium .

“It was enjoyable, newbie . ”

“Dammit…!”

A funny scene was produced . Grid won the gold medal and was scowling from the top of the podium, while Hurent received the silver medal next to him and was laughing loudly . Looking at the atmosphere of the two men, it was like the US had won .
