Overgeared Chapter 232:
Chapter 232
The doppelganger couldn’t completely reproduce Pagma’s power in its entirety . Nevertheless, its stats were equivalent to Hell Gao . Since Grid had a tendency to rely entirely on skills, it was natural that he was completely defeated in the first battle after Pagma’s Swordsmanship was blocked .
This horrific monster…
‘Fight again?’
Grid was unwilling . Wouldn’t the result be the same even if they fought a few times? He would be much more comfortable if Piaro went out and took care of it . But he quickly fixed that idea .
‘Piaro said to absorb Pagma’s Swordsmanship . Yes, this is a chance to become stronger . ’
More and more strength . He needed enough strength to do the things he had to do .
“Sigh…”
Grid hesitated before taking a deep breath .
Kuoooh!
The doppelganger stabbed forward . The attack was deafening, and despite being 5m away, seemed like it would reach his stomach .
Piaro exclaimed from behind him . “There are obviously limits to a greatsword . It’s big, dull and hard to move on the fly . The stabbing of a greatsword is extremely simple, and can easily be seen . Don’t worry about hidden weapons and block . ”
It was convincing advice . Grid’s confidence was elevated and he moved calmly . Utilizing the footwork of Link to move left and right, he avoided the doppelganger’s stab .
Kudududuk!
The jade greatsword passed by the side of the Holy Light Armor . Sparks scattered like firecrackers and the doppelganger could be seen beyond them .
“Once the stab misses, a gap will be exposed . This is an opportunity to hit back . ”
A greatsword was big and heavy . What if the greatsword was stabbed but didn’t hit the target? The person holding the greatsword would lose their balance and their posture would collapse .
“Okay!”
Grid smiled with satisfaction as he counterattacked . His greatsword curved from the bottom up and aimed for the doppelganger’s heart .
Seokeok!
It was avoided . The doppelganger demonstrated his agility by twisting his upper body to avoid being hit . However, the front of his clothing was loosened, clearing revealing the doppelganger’s upper body .
“Kyaaak!”
Laella, a member of the party, let out a sound of appreciation . The doppelganger copied Pagma’s appearance and was so beautiful that he caught her heart instantly . It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the sleek muscular body was the creation of a **** . But the body wasn’t an important factor in battle . Only the strong would win .
“Ohhhh!”
Failure passed over the doppelganger’s head and once again descended .
Sukakak!
Heavy . Grid took full advantage of Grid’s boots, so the weight at the end of his sword was incomparable to before . He could even easily disintegrate a rock . Could the doppelganger withstand it?
Of course, it was possible . This doppelganger had been a named boss of the Mysterious Forest for at least 100 years . Apart from its stats, its health would be in the millions .
[Critical!]
[You have dealt 17,790 damage to the target . ]
‘Indeed, there isn’t a single scratch on him . ’
Grid was dismayed when he saw that the doppelganger’s health gauge didn’t seem to decrease at all . Then the jade greatsword aimed at Grid’s side .
‘Ah!’
A chill went down Grid’s spine .
Jeeeong!
The seven golden blades moved to protect Grid . They combined into one to form a barrier that defended against the greatsword . But they couldn’t fully absorb the shock and became stuck in place .
Piaro spoke again . “The biggest disadvantage of a greatsword is that it will take a long time to recover the weapon after an attack . You forgot this point and allowed a counterattack . ”
Then what should he do?
Jjejeong! Jjang!
As Grid was confused, the momentum of the doppelganger rose again . He started an endless onslaught and didn’t allow time for Grid to take any countermeasures . The pavranium moved to protect Grid, but there was a limit since it stiffened every time .
“The opponent’s behavior is correct . You should do it as well . If you take advantage of the recoil that occurs when you attack, you can link more strikes . ”
“Urgh…!”
Grid felt the need to stop the doppelganger’s attacks . If so, he should evade rather than defend . In fact, Piaro had advised ‘don’t play around when you have a sword in your hand . ’ However, the enemy’s attack speed was much faster than Grid’s attack speed, so it wasn’t easy to react .
Then what should he do? Grid finally allowed an attack and the next blow aimed for his neck . Then .
Teong!
Piaro stepped forward again . He blocked the doppelganger’s sword and saved Grid’s life once again .
“Why do you only use the golden blades as a defense tool? Optimize your control and use them as weapons if possible . Now fight again . ”
“…”
After that .
The same thing was repeated many times . Grid listened to Piaro’s advice, dealt with the doppelganger and when faced with death from an error, he was saved by Piaro .
Grid felt like he was in a game room .
‘Just when I think the game is over, the neighborhood boy will put in another coin . ’
In fact, he had never met such a good person .
“If you have an opponent with higher health, you must go all out on attack instead of defense . Fight again . ”
“The technique of lifting from the bottom to the top is inevitably weaker because the force is countered by gravity . You might be using this technique to damage the enemy, but it is actually having an adverse effect . In the first place, is it possible with such a huge weapon? Fight again . ”
“Don’t neglect the golden blades just because they can’t kill the enemy . If you make them persevere to cover the enemy’s view, they can be a bigger help than a few colleagues . Fight again . ”
“I explained why stabbing a greatsword is a simple technique, but I don’t know why you are so obsessed with it . You should only stab in a situation where you can definitely knock your opponent away . You should know that the greatsword is designed for both stabbing and slashing . Don’t forget to use the right greatsword technique when appropriate . Fight again . ”
“Again . ”
“Fight again!”
“Again! Again! Again!”
“…Pant pant . ”
How many times did he need to repeat this **** battle? It hadn’t been dawn when they arrived here in the bamboo forest but now the sun was high in the sky . Grid was mentally and physically exhausted .
On the other hand, the Overgeared members…
“Yum yum . Grid is suffering a lot . ”
“The strongest NPC is teaching him swordsmanship and protecting his life, so how is he suffering? I would be excited . ”
“It’s exciting, but hard . ”
“Is it easy to fight for over half a day?”
“Indeed… If I was continuously fighting against the enemy like Grid, my stamina would’ve reached its limit already . ”
The Overgeared members were already freed from the helpless feeling and were eating in front of a campfire . They baked and boiled the rainbow potatoes, relaxing as they watched Grid fight .
It wasn’t because they were lazy . The Overgeared members also had a desire to join the raid . Growing through struggles was the joy they desired . But they couldn’t move . Piaro was training Grid against Pagma’s doppelganger, so there was no room for them to intervene .
“Anyway, Grid’s growth rate is remarkable . ” Lauel remarked .
The Overgeared members agreed .
“That’s right . It’s a tremendous growth . ”
The doppelganger had completely overwhelmed Grid in the first battle . He was attacked without being able to hit back once, and faced the crisis of death . In the second battle, Grid managed to strike once . The third battle, it was two attacks and the fourth battle, three attacks and so on . And in the 51st battle, Grid was exchanging blows at a level comparable to the doppelganger . It was especially impressive the way he avoided death every time .
“Grid is a blank slate . It’s obvious if he grows even a little bit . ”
The synergy of the best teacher and best sparring partner (?) raised Grid’s control . What user wouldn’t want to experience something like this? The Overgeared members really envied Grid .
“I wish I had a mentor like that…”
“How did Grid obtain such a great NPC?”
“It’s creepy that he was doing a farmer cosplay for a while . ”
What was Piaro’s identity? And what circumstances were there that led him to teach Grid? It happened when the Overgeared members’ questions were deepening .
“Sob…!”
Grid eventually collapsed . His stamina was completely depleted . On the other hand, the doppelganger was still fine . Grid had fought for half a day, but the doppelganger’s health was still at 9/10ths .
Piaro stopped him from finishing off Grid and turned his gaze to the Overgeared members . Then he pointed to Regas .
“You there . ”
“Huh? Me?”
Regas felt irritated when he saw that Grid was getting stronger and trained alone . He imagined Pagma’s doppelganger as a virtual enemy in his mind, and started sparring against it . Therefore, he was stunned when Piaro suddenly pointed him out .
Piaro instructed . “You will deal with this enemy while Duke Grid is resting . ”
Regas’ eyes shone like jewels . “Are you going to train me?”
Piaro didn’t deny it . “I have been watching your potential from a distance . ”
“Ohh…!”
Regas was jubilant . It was an opportunity to be trained by Piaro, who was stronger than anyone he knew . Piaro started the lesson as soon as he came running .
“Wow . ”
“What is this…? That NPC will teach anyone?”
“Amazing! We can receive his teachings?”
The Overgeared members were excited . They expected to become stronger after being taught by Piaro . And that expectation became reality .
“Next . ”
Piaro switched the members in turn and allowed them to spar against Pagma’s doppelganger . He also developed the Overgeared members by pointing out the strengths and weaknesses that he had observed while staying in Reidan . It was in the hope that they would become stronger and make him stronger .
The great swordsman Piaro would be a great fortune to Grid and the Overgeared members .
The doppelganger couldn’t completely reproduce Pagma’s power in its entirety . Nevertheless, its stats were equivalent to Hell Gao . Since Grid had a tendency to rely entirely on skills, it was natural that he was completely defeated in the first battle after Pagma’s Swordsmanship was blocked .
