Overgeared Chapter 433:
Chapter 433
Among the seven guilds, the Golden Guild was at a medium level . Seuron was the master and he had gradually been growing stronger after acquiring the Soul Predator class . It was enough to make him aspire to become the peak of two billion users .
Kukukuk!
Argentina met Russia in the semi-finals . Seuron was thrilled to face Kraugel .
Kraugel, Im lucky that I have a chance to defeat you in front of the world .
Argentina wasnt active in the target processing match because they didnt have competent ranged dealers . Since they werent in the race for the medal, Seuron wasnt obsessed with the event and just enjoyed himself . But things were different now .
In the battlefield where a hundred people were fighting for their lives, Seuron was able to create an environment with fresh souls, complementing his class effect . Seuron was confident . It might not be possible yet in a one-on-one match, but he could defeat Kraugel on the battlefield .
Become the stepping stone of my fame!
Seuron excitedly pulled out some of the souls accumulated in his body and turned them into beads . They were beads the size of soybeans .
Suuuuok .
Dozens of glittering jade beads circled around Seuron . It was a beautiful effect comparable to Grids Iyarugt .
Bang!
Seuron shouted like a young child firing an imaginary gun . Dozens of beads turned fiercely and shot off . Their goal was Kraugel . The Russian representatives and NPCs near Kraugel werent targeted because they were recognized as trivial by Seuron .
Tutututututung!
The soul beads shot forward at a speed that second advancement classes couldnt see and attacked Kraugel . They were like bullets fired from machine guns . The phenomenal thing was that Kraugel avoided all the beads . It was a miraculous move that combined Keen Senses, his high agility and his innate skills .
Kraugel ran in a zigzag and reached Seuron, wielding White Fang .
Chaaeng!
Seuron defended with the Brutal Heavy Sword and felt the difference in strength .
Indeed, its clear that his battle stats have reached at least level 400 .
It was the result of completing various quests and titles first . It was unknown if any elixirs had been taken . It was truly unique . Kraugels stats were beyond common sense .
Peeok!
Seuron was shaken by the blow, while Kraugel removed his sword and dealt a second strike . The moment that Kraugel was going to deal a critical strike .
Pahat!
The soul beads that stopped in the place where Kraugel was first standing started to move again . They flew to Kraugel and spread like a spiders web . Kraugels reaction was somewhat late because he hadnt expected such an efficient skill . One arm was caught in a spider web .
[Your right arm is temporarily restrained . ]
. . .
Kraugels expressionless face slightly distorted . Seurons sword came flying as he swiftly switched White Fang to his left hand . Seuron laughed as he avoided Kruagels counterattack and kept attacking .
Kukuk, I will bind your soul!
Seurons skill was activated . The soul web in contact with Kraugels body linked to Kraugels soul, giving Seuron temporary control of Kraugels soul .
[Your body is out of control for seven seconds!]
Kraugel had a different experience . His right foot moved when he tried to move his left arm . When he tried to move his left feet, his right arm moved . Kraugels best strength, his control, was contained .
Seokeok!
At this moment, Seuron summoned 14 soul spears and shouted with all his might .
Taste this unbreakable power!
It wasnt a lie . Since changing to a Soul Predator, Seuron had never been defeated . There was only one person . He was defeated during the Reidan raid by the temporary farmer . But that farmer was a named NPC, so he didnt count as a user . At this moment, Seuron was sure of his victory . He didnt know . The fact that the Kraugel in front of him was that farmer!
You have certainly grown .
Kraugel acknowledged Seuron, even when they met in the past at Reidan . He avoided all the soul spears pouring towards him and praised Seuron .
How?
Seuron was shocked . It was natural to be surprised, since the soul-controlled Kraugel moved just as swiftly and precisely as before .
Dont tell me . . . ! He was able to adapt in such a short amount of time?
White Fang pierced Seurons neck . Seuron was able to increase his defense using Soul Armor and killed his allies to obtain more souls . Then he attempted a counterattack . The brilliant battle between the two people received praises from all over the world .

Ah, I think I am going crazy .
Brr!
Grids body continuously shook after he left the cafe . At first glance, the jerkiness was like a tap dance . It was the aftereffect of drinking the espresso . A headache was coming .
Dammit . . .
Grid didnt like bitterness and only took the syrupy cold medicine for children when he had a cold . For him, coffee was like rotten water . He was disgusted by Americans who could drink it like it was bottled water . Thats why he only ordered juice or hot chocolate at a cafe .
Then why did he drink a cup of espresso? It felt like he was drinking poison . But it was worthwhile . He got the ideal contract! Grid purposely chose a smaller drink in order to give Yook Shihyun a feeling of pressure .
Thats right . The reason why Grid ordered an espresso was that it was necessary to his bluff . Now he was using a process called pre-planning . He couldnt just rush forward forever . He acted cautiously .
-Please read the contract carefully . Read it several times until you completely understand it . Dont forget to record it .
-God Grid! Isnt is amazing for a Korean to contract with a Korean company?
- Go! ◆If you join ◆ ※You will get a 1 millioncash bonus
-Team Leader Kim Minyoung . ^^
Grid intended for messages to arrive during his conversation with Yook Shihyun . He had asked Yura and Peak Sword in advance to send him a message at this exact time . The spam messages came flying by chance . He hadnt signed up for the spam blocker service because it cost him 2,000 won each month . . .
This is why people say that money shouldnt be spent .
Grid received a new enlightenment and vowed he would only order jajangmyun instead of kanjajang .
『 Oh my **** . . . ! The United States castle was captured! 』
『 Against everyones expectations, Russia has won! 』
The road to Shang X Lila Hotel . A loud noise was heard from the store that Grid was pssing, and Grid turned towards the TV in the store .
Russia won?
It was also against the United States? Grid clenched his fists tightly . He couldnt suppress his feelings after learning that Kraugel had overcome the United States .
Kraugel . . .
Was he superior to Grid in every way? Grid couldnt accept it . He didnt intend to derail the value of the person called Kraugel . Grid couldnt evaluate Kraugels innate talent and achievements . However, Lauel was a normal class user who beat Grid!
It was a cruel reality for Grid . Grid felt how trivial he was . His self-esteem that he raised with much difficulty was crushed at this moment .

The 3rd day of the National Competition ended . The National Competitions ranking was updated .
1st . South Korea (2 gold)
2nd . Russia (1 gold, 2 silver)
3rd . United States (1 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze)
4th . Brazil (1 gold)
Joint 5th . United Kingdom and France (1 silver)
6th . Canada (2 bronze)
7th . Japan (1 bronze)
It was a lot different from what most people expected . The most powerful country in Satisfy, the United States was ranked 3rd, while Korea and Brazil stood out? But people werent shaken . The National Competition was just beginning . There were 16 events remaining and as the days passed, it was clear that the overall ranking was taking shape as people expected .
As everyone thought, the overall rankings stabilized on the 14th day of the National Competition .
1st . Russia (4 gold, 3 silver, 2 bronze)
2nd . United States (4 gold, 2 silver, 4 bronze)
3rd . Canada (3 gold, 3 silver, 3 bronze)
4th . South Korea (2 gold)
5th . Spain (1 gold, 2 silver)
6th . Japan (1 gold, 2 silver)
7th . Brazil (1 gold)
Joint 8th place . United Kingdom, France (3 bronze)
Joint 9th place . Argentina, China (2 bronze)
10th . Turkey (1 bronze)
South Korea and Brazil hadnt won a single medal since the third day, while the countries considered strong in Satisfy were constantly winning medals . It was the time when the difference between a strong team and a weak team was evident . Now there were only 5 events remaining .
The people wondered about which of the three countries between the US, Russia, and Canada would win . But no one could easily predict it . All members of the United States could be called top-class . Russia was slightly weaker than the US, but they had the crown called Kraugel .
Chris and Vantner were starting to show good chemistry for Canada . They were too powerful . It wouldnt seem strange if any of them won .
『 We are forgetting something . Isnt there another country that could be a contender to win? 』
Another championship candidate? The viewers from all over the world were puzzled by the experts words when they recalled someone . Grid . The main culprit behind the destruction of common sense hadnt competed in any solo events yet .
-Perhaps South Korea is another candidate to win?
-At any rate, winning gold medals is the best thing to do in the National Competition . If Grid wins the gold medal in the raid event and his three solo events, Korea will win . ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow, thats right . If Grid wins four gold medals and Russia and the US dont win any, Korea will win .
-But thats impossible . -_-;
Right now, people of the world were aware of Grids power . It couldnt be denied that he was top-class . The problem was that there were many top-class players comparable to Grid . Kraugel of Russia, Chris of Canada, Damian of Japan, Seuron of Argentina, Pon of Spain, Regas of Britain, Zibal of the US . . . all of them were tough .
Would Grid be able to win four gold medals alone against the specialists of each event? It was impossible .
『 What if . . . What if Grid really wins four gold medals and leads South Korea to victory? 』
『 He will be a myth . 』
『 But its impossible . The peak of 2 billion users, Kraugel, is standing in his way . 』
『 Its questionable if he can cross the mountain called Kraugel . In addition, Zibal might seem weak, but isnt he optimized for raids? Theres a less than 10% chance that South Korea will defeat the US in the raid event . 』
These words kept coming . The atmosphere of the people of South Korea, who had been looking forward to Grids appearance, became solemn .
