Overgeared Chapter 387:
Chapter 387
[You have entered the 20th island . ]
The time it took Grid to pass 19 islands and reach the 20th island was exactly 45 hours and 19 minutes . He broke through the treasure hunt mission with a versatile key and avoided the thunderstorm with a giant lightning rod . These missions wasted a lot of time for ordinary contestants .
It was the same with the Overgeared members . The Overgeared members were prepared due to Grid who had reached the 40th island . They were able to enter the 20th island as fast as Grid .
‘The mission of the 20th island is to avoid the eyes of the **** moon . ’
The Overgeared members thought of the method that Grid came up with .
Sururuk .
They used the invisibility cloak and hid their traces on the island . Thanks to that, the **** moon couldn’t do anything . All of this was thanks to Grid .
***
39 days remained until the National Competition .
The 1st ranked Kraugel stood at the crossroad of choice . For the remaining period of time, he could re-challenge the Behen Archipelago or re-challenge Piaro .
‘I can acquire skills and elixirs in the Behen Archipelago . ’
If he won against Piaro, he could change to a legendary class . Even if he only succeeded in one of the options, Kraugel could play an overwhelming role in the National Competition .
‘Both are likely to fail . ’
Could he challenge Piaro and win? Kraugel calculated that the odds were only 30% . Then what about the Behen Archipelago?
‘The probability of clearing the Behen Archipelago is even lower . ’
The reason why Kraugel couldn’t re-challenge the Behen Archipelago was the nonsensical 31st island . The 31st island recreated his past trials . There, Kraugel had to fight the great demon Furfu . It was in a state where his level was lower than 180 .
‘Furfu…’
One of the great demons who lost to Sword Saint Muller . In the past, Kraugel had dismissed Furfu . A great demon who lost his body . Kraugel was confident that he could raid Furfu by himself, despite Furfu borrowing the body of an intermediate demon .
The result? It was terrible . He had been killed three times in succession, with Furfu chasing him to the ends of the world . If he hadn’t received help, he might’ve died a few more times .
‘The Behen Archipelago isn’t a place I can clear with my abilities . ’
Kraugel’s expression was bitter as he made this judgment . He compared himself with Grid . Grid, the first player who defeated him . He said he passed the 30th island . Grid was a man with the amazing ability to overcome past trials .
“…Hrmm . ”
Kraugel thought this and turned his attention to the East Continent . He could gain exclusive White Swordsman items, exclusive skills and rapid level increase from the East Continent . There were many rewards that were less valuable than the Behen Archipelago or Piaro, but they couldn’t be ignored .
‘I have to stay on the East Continent until the National Competition . ’
Kraugel made his decision and used the East Continent’s portal scroll .

“This is very hard . ”
The 41st island .
Grid studied the combination of Linked Kill Wave and Pinnacle Kill in three days of game time, but didn’t achieve the desired result . It wasn’t easy to catch the timing if Linked Kill Wave and Pinnacle Kill .
‘It is absurd . ’
He tried from 0 . 1 seconds to 3 seconds to connect Link and Kill . But rather than Linked Kill Wave, only Link or Linked Kill were activated, making Grid go crazy .
‘I’ve been doing this for three days already…’
The fact that he couldn’t get the results he wanted despite doing his best was irritating him . Grid’s head hurt . He once again lamented his low talents . But he wasn’t frustrated . Grid still had hope .
‘Perhaps it isn’t the gap between Link and Kill, but the fulfillment of other conditions . ’
How could he figure out what conditions there were?
“I will fight my clone one more time . ”
Grid knew better than anyone that he couldn’t win against his clone in his current state . However, Grid wasn’t afraid . If he was afraid of failure, he would become stagnant .
“Do it again . ”
Grid breathed in deeply and moved through the gate of the 41st island . He would once again fight with the clone, while taking note of the process for Linked Kill Wave and Pinnacle Kill .
***
[You have entered the 41st island . ]
[A mission will be created . ]
[41st Island]
Fight with yourself and win .
First Clear Compensation: You can raise the level of one skill .
A flat island with no geographical features . The moment Grid stepped onto the small island, the clone came forward to meet him .
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship . ”
Indeed, it was the same as three days ago . Grid’s clone attacked the moment Grid entered the island .
‘Will he open with Linked Kill Wave again?’
Grid focused . He watched the movements of the clone without blinking in order to figure out the secret behind Linked Kill Wave . Then the skill was used .
“Transcended Link . ”
“Dammit . ”
It used Transcended Link instead of the skill Grid wanted? Grid also used Transcended Link, as dozens of energy blades were fired . The bombardment caused the earth to shake . The impact was enormous as it was a clash between legendary skills .
Kuaaaaang!
“Kuk…!”
The swirling sandstorm disturbed Grid’s visibility and he retreated backwards, while the clone made another choice . Despite the pain of the sand getting into the eyes, the clone persevered as he rushed forward and swung Iyarugt at Grid . It was immediately after using Transcended Link and Grid was still armed with Grid’s Greatsword, so he couldn’t read Iyarugt’s orbit .
Seokeok!
Grid’s thigh was cut . He belatedly swapped to Iyarugt, but…
“Wave . ”
The clone swapped from Iyarugt back to Grid’s Greatsword, and used a skill, hitting Grid successively .
‘Why is his weapons swapping speed so quick?’
Weapon swapping required a series of processes . It required opening the inventory, putting in the item then bringing out the desired item . In Grid’s case, the process took around 2 seconds on average . Grid was confused because the clone did it in less than a second .
‘Will I get used to it if I do it often?’
Grid suppressed the confusion and thought as positively as possible while wielding Iyarugt . It was necessary to deal as much damage as possible while the clone was armed with Grid’s Greatsword .
Puok!
Iyarugt stabbed at the clone’s side, leaving a blood-like glow .
‘I have to continue this momentum . ’
Grid didn’t use a skill . He quickly wielded Iyarugt, not giving the clone a chance to use skills . It was clearly an effective choice . The clone was forced to concentrate on defense .
Chaaeng! Chaeng!
The battle entered a lull . Iyarugt and Iyarugt collided with each other, leaving a **** afterglow in the area .
‘Let’s think about it . ’
How could he shake off the clone in order to use a skill and change the shape of the battle? The clone extended a finger while Grid was thinking .
“Magic Missile . ”
Peeng!
“Kuk . ”
Magic Missile (Enhanced)’s casting time was only one second . It required one finger to be extended, so it was possible to cast while wielding a sword . Grid also knew this, but the one who changed the battlefield using Magic Missile was the clone . It proved that the clone’s thinking ability was better than Grid’s .
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship . ”
Grid winced as he was hit by Magic Missile . The clone swapped to Grid’s Greatsword in an instant and carried out the footwork of Link . Grid also wanted to offset it by using Link the same way, but the problem was that it took time to swap to Grid’s Greatsword .
The moment Grid’s Greatsword was pulled out, the clone’s Link was already complete .
‘Shit . ’
Grid gritted his teeth . It was to prepare for the pain . But the pain didn’t come . The clone was still continuing its sword dance .
“Kill . ”
Link and then Kill .
‘Linked Kill!’
It was lucky . He wouldn’t have been able to cope if Link was immediately used, but he was given time .
Taack!
Grid hurriedly pulled out the Divine Shield .
“Wave . ”
“…!”
The clone combined Linked Kill with Wave . It was Linked Kill Wave .
Kurururung!
Subsequently, waves of Kill attacks filled the air .
‘I understand!’
Grid gained enlightenment . In order to combine Linked Kill Wave, it was essential to withdraw back before connecting each sword technique .
‘Finally, I also…!’
Grid watched carefully . But it wasn’t a situation where he could just sit back and enjoy .
Pepepepeng!
8 Kill attacks were directly aimed at Grid . Grid summoned Randy and had him use Revolve .
Chaaeng!
The 8 Kills were sucked in by Revolve and turned around, heading back to the clone . The clone remained calm . He also summoned Randy and responded by using Revolve . In the meantime, Grid was completely aware the movements of Link and Kill .
He calculated the time accurately and didn’t forget to step backwards before connecting Link and Kill . Then he started on the sword dance for Wave .
Kuwooooh!
A powerful energy centred on Grid . It was the energy of Linked Kill Wave .
‘Okay!’
Grid was filled with joy . After two Revolves, the more powerful Kill attacks headed towards him .
Kuaaaaaaang!
There was an explosion and the earth shook . Did Grid receive catastrophic damage? He succeeded in Linked Kill Wave, but couldn’t even use it? No, that wasn’t it . Grid wasn’t in a crisis .
“Linked Kill Wave . ”
“…!”
By changing his position with Randy, he was able to appear at the side of the clone and unfold the best skill .
[You have entered the 20th island . ]
The time it took Grid to pass 19 islands and reach the 20th island was exactly 45 hours and 19 minutes . He broke through the treasure hunt mission with a versatile key and avoided the thunderstorm with a giant lightning rod . These missions wasted a lot of time for ordinary contestants .
It was the same with the Overgeared members . The Overgeared members were prepared due to Grid who had reached the 40th island . They were able to enter the 20th island as fast as Grid .
‘The mission of the 20th island is to avoid the eyes of the **** moon . ’
The Overgeared members thought of the method that Grid came up with .
