Overgeared Chapter 238:
Chapter 238
Most clones were illusions . They were merely a gimmick that couldn’t exert substantial force . However, the unidentified man’s clone dealt a real blow . The guild member Elvo screamed as he was hit .
The White Wolf guild members became frightened .
‘I heard that a third advancement assassin can have a perfect clone . ’
‘What? Then this man is an assassin over level 300?’
‘Is that Faker…?’
Faker was the number one assassin and 14th ranked monster on the unified rankings . It was rare for him to reveal himself in public, but there were many rumors . It was said that the number of users assassinated was over 10,000, and rankers were always attacked by him .
There was a rumor that even the first ranked Kraugel suffered a level decrease after being assassinated by Faker . Of course, they were lies . Faker wasn’t a player killer . He was like Regas and liked personal training .
But rumors were always distorted and exaggerated . The White Wolf Guild misunderstood Faker as a murderer . Was the man in front of them really Faker?
‘We are inferior . ’
‘Today is my day to die!’
The White Wolf members started to shake . They gulped and shivered . Veradin spoke a few words to calm them down . “Assassins don’t use a greatsword . In addition, they are covert . If he was Faker, we would already be dead . ”
“Ah…!”
They were confused and overlooked the obvious facts . The guild members regained their calm as Veradin explained .
“That person is likely to have a hidden class . ”
It was a reasonable guess . Hidden classes existed in Satisfy . It wasn’t strange if there was a hidden class specialized in clones . The guild members were relieved .
“Phew… I’m glad . I don’t want to go against Faker . ”
“Dealing with a hidden class is easier than dealing with a third advancement ranker . ”
“Those people are too scary . ”
It showed how much the dignity of hidden classes had been lost since the third advancement classes . Veradin was alarmed at the guild members’ relaxation and warned them .
“It’s still difficult to gauge the opponent’s ability . Don’t act hastily and step back . ”
Th White Wolf members had strong loyalty . They stepped back without a fuss as soon as Veradin commanded them .
Step step .
The unidentified man walked through the streets .
“You aren’t fighting back? Are you scared?”
As a guild master, Veradin was always cautious . He didn’t fall for the taunts . He closely watched the man and the clone as he asked . “What is your relationship with the Ul Clan? Why are you helping them?”
The answer was concise . “I got a quest . ”
That person was Grid . During his journey, he accidentally visited the Ul Clan’s village and got a quest when the village was attacked by the enemy . He couldn’t help wondering if he was cursed to get involved in incidents wherever he went .
[Ul Clan’s Rescue]
Difficulty: A
The Ul Clan have been deprived of their kingdom by the Saharan Empire, and the survivors are hiding in remote areas . However, they couldn’t escape from the empire’s surveillance and an invasion is once again occurring .
Free them from the clutches of the empire .
Then you will be their sun .
Quest Clear Conditions: Repel the invaders .
Quest Reward: Your affinity with the Ul Clan will reach the maximum .
Quest Failure: The Ul Clan will perish .
Four days ago .
Prior to leaving Reidan, Grid had studied the empire and found that it carried out a policy of genocide . Minorities who didn’t serve the emperor were slaughtered in various parts of the empire . Indeed, it was a brutal oppression . If they wanted to try and oppose it?
It was futile . Grid hadn’t accepted the Ul Clan’s quest for a noble reason . He just coveted the reward .
‘If they don’t have a place to go to and their affinity is at the maximum…’
Couldn’t he accept them as his people? The Ul Clan’s quest was a chance to increase the population of Reidan . It would be ideal if he could bring all the persecuted minorities in the empire to Reidan . Grid was starting to think and act in the manner of a lord . Lauel would be impressed if he knew .
“You have two choices . ”
Grid’s eyes shone with killing intent . He was inwardly furious after witnessing the brutality of the White Wolf Guild . Grid had high respect for NPCs due to the influence of Khan and Irene .
“You can die easily, or you can get beaten up first before you die . Choose . ”
“Crazy bastard!”
The White Wolf members were furious . What was this **** arrogant guy saying?
“Veradin! How long are you going to let that brat’s mouth run wild? We should attack him right now! Anyway, he’s alone!”
Elvo was particularly furious . He was surprise attacked by the clone and suffered damage . Veradin checked Elvo’s health gauge .
‘Well, it isn’t bad . ’
Elvo was a berserker, so his defense was very low . However, he only lost one-fifth of his health after the surprise attack .
‘The clone isn’t very strong . ’
The unknown man’s clone was much weaker than he was . This evidence clearly showed that it wasn’t very strong . ‘Maybe he can produce a lot of clones . But it’s easy to deal with clones at this level . ’
Veradin made a judgment call and ordered the guild members .
“We won’t be able to avoid this fight . Do it . ”
“Okay!”
Elvo was in the lead . At level 179, he was the lowest among the White Wolf members, but he liked being in the vanguard . He was very courageous and not afraid of others .
“I’ll kill you!”
Elvo was full of killing intent . He wanted to deal a nasty blow to the clone .
“Dash!”
Teong!
A distance of 3m was narrowed in an instant . Elvo smiled with satisfaction at his own dashing ability . Then he used the ‘Madness Vortex’ skill . This was the manifestation of five powerful blows that could even cause great damage to an ogre .
However, it met the wrong opponent .
[The target has resisted the damage . ]
“Eh?”
It wasn’t defense but resistance . The skill apparently hit . Then what the **** was the resistance to damage? Grid stared at the stunned Elvo .
“You want me to die?”
“Heok?”
The prideful Elvo was now like a terrified rodent . It was because of the dignity stat, which had a low chance of making the enemy yield . Grid had over 1,500 dignity, so it was hard for low or medium ranked users to endure his greatness .
[You have become lost in front of an immeasurable existence . Your head involuntarily bows . Your body is shaky and head begins to move . ]
‘W-What…!’
He was stunned just because he met the person’s gaze? Was this guy a medusa boss? Elvo couldn’t believe the situation right now . It was a dream . The other guild members didn’t know the situation and were rushing around, like moths to a flame .
“Magic Transmission!”
“Atra’s Poison!”
“Fire Spear!”
“Lower Cut!”
“This is a kick! Abyooo~!”
All types of CC, physical attacks and magic attacks were used . 20 enemies used skills at the same time, so Grid seemed to be in danger . The silent clone came out . It was the doppelganger Randy .
“Revolve . ”
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
The counterattack skill was activated at the perfect timing . The White Wolf members were attacked by their own skills .
“Kuaaaak!”
“What is this absurd thing?”
The White Wolf Guild members were agitated . What was with this clone’s skill? Furthermore, it was a counterattack skill that even a person found difficult to use? The one who was most surprised was Veradin .
‘He didn’t show his skills in the first surprise attack!’
He realized it right away . Randy had 30% of Grid’s current combat power . To be honest, he was equivalent to level 200 . If he wanted, he couldn’t cut the guild member in half with the first attack .
But Randy refrained . He deliberately pretended to be weak to make the enemies less vigilant . This was Randy’s instinctive judgment, not Grid’s orders . He lost his memories of the past, but the battle experience accumulated for more than 100 years was firmly engraved in him .
Grid admired Randy’s strategy .
“Look at those facial expressions . I was surprised as well . Isn’t my friend really great?”
‘Friend?’
Wasn’t it a clone? Then what was it? The White Wolf members fell into the black hole of confusion .
Puok!
Then the jade greatsword penetrated Elvo’s chest .
[You have been hit by a lethal blow!]
[The enemy has attacked five times using an unknown ability . ]
[You have suffered 103,900 damage . ]
‘Over 100,000? Not 10,000, but 100,000? I don’t even have 20,000 health!’
Elvo’s vision turned grey .
‘Is this a dream?’
[Your party member Elvo has died . ]
Silence filled the area . A monster beyond imagination had appeared in front of the White Wolf members .
But Veradin kept calm . He was part of the 10 Rookies along with Lauel and Ibellin, and he was now level 281 . He didn’t feel frustrated when meeting a strong opponent . Moreover, he had a hidden card . There was a sniper who remained in the mountain .
–Now .
Veradin whispered and gave the signal . There was a small flash from the low mountain 300m in the rear, then an arrow came flying .
Peeeeeong!
Kiki was also part of the 10 Rookies . The White Wolf Guild’s number two person . Her sniper skill was comparable to Jishuka, the expert archer . She precisely fired an arrow at Grid’s head . Veradin had no doubt that the person would experience great damage or confusion, and took out his staff . He was trying to raise the corpses of the Ul and Elvo with magic when he suddenly froze .
“T-This…?”
Cries of shock burst out everywhere . They saw it . The famous golden blades .
“I am surprised . ”
The man’s voice was heard from behind the golden blades that protected their master from the arrow . The voice was filled with a powerful anger that could stop the heart of the person who heard it .
Sururuk .
Was it due to the shock wave caused by the arrow and blades colliding? The hat the man was wearing fell off . The ID that most people in the world knew was exposed .
“Grid…!”
The first legendary class, three gold medal holder in the National Competition, the hero of the golem invasion, the first user to become a duke, GOD, etc . He had countless nicknames attached to him .
Then he pulled out the blue greatsword that he used to defeat Hurent in five seconds . The people present felt frightened at Grid holding two huge swords in each of his hands .
“Don’t use surprise attacks!”
‘You did it first!’
The White Wolf members wanted to cry out . But they couldn’t grumble . Grid’s eyes fixed to the top of the mountain 300m away .
“You first of all . Transcended Link . ”
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
Blue-white and jade energy blades emerged at the same time . It was the moment when one small mountain permanently vanished from the map of the Saharan Empire .
[Your party member Kiki has died . ]
“…I would’ve rather met Faker . ”
The White Wolf members complained . Veradin couldn’t keep his composure anymore . This was the worst catastrophe since the guild’s launch . The result was a complete annihilation .
***
“Huh? The size of the desert is less than it was a year ago?”
A black-haired man dressed in white stepped foot in the western part of the Eternal Kingdom .
Most clones were illusions . They were merely a gimmick that couldn’t exert substantial force . However, the unidentified man’s clone dealt a real blow . The guild member Elvo screamed as he was hit .
The White Wolf guild members became frightened .
