Overgeared Chapter 560:
Blood flowed under the blazing sun and screams echoed .
Grid wore a bizarre half mask that made it unknown if he was laughing or crying . Every time his sword swung in a half circle, 10 soldiers died . Sometimes it was 20 soldiers when he drew a full moon . The shark-shaped blue greatsword tore the soldiers’ armor apart .
"There were rumors that his swordsmanship is strong . ”
Well, he already had a reputation for having great swordsmanship . But there was one thing that was hard to identify .
“What are the white spheres circling around him?”
Baron Duka . He was one of Eternal’s great swordsman that emerged after Chucksley . He earned Duke Lucilliv’s favor thanks to his strength and was promised the title of an earl after this war . Of course, this was on the premise that his performance was sufficient . If he could directly cut off Grid’s head, he would become a marquis instead of an earl .
Baron Duka watched Grid with interest while his deputy spoke up .
"According to the analysis of the magicians, it’s estimated to be Magic Missile . It’s probably through an artifact like Fly magic . ”
“Hoh . . . Magic Missile that isn’t immediately launched . ”
There were exactly 113 white spheres around Grid . The reason was clear . It was to help in combat . Grid intended to protect his own body and release a Magic Missile when he was in a crisis .
‘There are also the four golden hands called the God Hands . ’
Every hand guarded Grid’s rear while holding hammers . The amazing thing was that the hammers swung by the God Hands killed the soldiers .
‘Strong . ’
It was a perfect harmony between strong swordsmanship and overwhelming artifacts . Grid had great power as a legend .
'It might be different if he was armed with ordinary weapons . Still, I wouldn’t dare fight him alone . ’
But Baron Duka wasn’t afraid of Grid . There were 100,000 troops here . Grid would kill the soldiers surging like a tsunami and become exhausted . It was impossible for Grid to block all the attacks . Right now, he was accumulating wounds by allowing the attacks from magicians and archers .
‘In the next few hours, he will become exhausted . ’
Then he would bring the knights and easily overpower Grid .
“Hmm?”
Baron Duka smiled wickedly at the thought .
Step step .
He heard someone coming up the stairs . The clock tower in the central square . Baron Duka came him in order to see the battlefield at a glance and ordered his troops not to let anyone up . Then who was coming up?
‘Marquis Bera?’
There was no one else who would be authorized . Baron Duka naturally thought that the owner of the footsteps was a noble like himself . However, that wasn’t it . The clock tower had six floors . A soldier came to the spot where Baron Duka and his deputy were standing .
It was a soldier wearing leather armor . A private with a low status who was conscripted .
‘How did a soldier come here?’
The deputy went forward to question the soldier on Baron Duka’s behalf .
"It’s scandalous to leave your position during a war . What unit do you belong to? No, why did you come here in the first place?”
A non-regular soldier, Ars . He answered while pointing his spear .
"I am a soldier serving under Grid . The reason I came here today is to take Baron Duka’s head . ”
“ . . . ?”
Bark bark .
Why did he hear the sound of a dog barking? The absurd introduction of the soldier made Baron Duka and his deputy go blank .
“Haha . ”
Baron Duka regained himself and laughed . Of course, it wasn’t a laugh of enjoyment . His real feelings were expressed by his deputy .
“You’re crazy . ”
The deputy made an angry expression and pulled out his sword without hesitation .
“Grid’s spy! I will have your head!”
Baron Duka’s deputy was also a master with the sword . He could easily kill one soldier .
Seokeok!
The sharp blade extended towards Ars’ neck . The sharp sword reached Ars’ neck in an instant . The deputy didn’t think much of it . The soldier in front of him would die without even realizing his head was separated from his body . But it was strange .
‘Eh?’
Where was the soldier whose head should’ve been cut off? And why was his gaze falling towards the ground?
Duk .
The head of the deputy fell to the ground . That’s right . The deputy hadn’t realized his head was cut off when he died .
“ . . . What’s your identity?”
Grid’s subordinate had swiftly used the spear to cut off the deputy’s head . Baron Duka stared at the scattered ashes of his deputy and then the **** spear . Ars picked up the sword and replied, “I am Grid’s soldier . ”
"Nonsense!”
A person who could make a great swordsman nervous couldn’t be a lowly soldier! Killing intent filled Baron Duka’s eyes . His sword headed towards Ars . It was an incredible swordsmanship that cut from the left and right without a time difference .
Chaaeng!
However, Ars angled the spear to block the two swords at once and laughed at Baron Duka .
“Your swordsmanship is poor compared to other great swordsmen . ”
Baron Duka had just recently become a great swordsman . It was lacking compared to when Piaro was a great swordsman of the empire . Ars had been growing steadily while serving under Grid and Baron Duka wasn’t a match for him . Baron Duka got chills as he realized the difference between their skills .
“You are . . . ! Kirinus!”
The best spearman on the continent was serving Grid?
"Reidan’s Spearsmanship 3rd style, Splitting the Seven Seas . ”
Peeeeeong!
Baron Duka’s sword was deflected and the golden spear moved in a straight line . This was the technique that Nautilus of the Red Knights couldn’t withstand, so Baron Duka was devastated .
"Kuaaaack!"
Baron Duka was swept up by the golden flash and disappeared . Ars finished his mission and descended the clock tower . His next target was Earl Carrion . The earl had become a great swordsman one step ahead of Baron Duka . Ars would wipe out anyone who could threaten Grid .
***
‘This is easier than I thought . Is it still early?’
Death in the game wasn’t comparable to death in reality . It didn’t mean a complete ending . But users who played the game were more afraid of death than anything else . They were frightened of losing their level and hard-earned items .
Yes, Grid was amazing . He thought he was crazy when he plunged into 100,000 troops alone . But his fear disappeared as he fought . He displayed his overwhelming power and felt pleasure rather than fear .
[Critical!]
[The +9 Failure’s option effect is activated, causing the skill ‘5 Joint Attacks’ to be generated!]
[You have dealt 155,900 damage to the target . ]
[You have dealt 149,540 damage to the target . ]
[You have dealt . . . ]
The level, stats, and items of the general soldiers were poor compared to Grid . Grid’s basic damage was like skill damage and all the soldiers within range of the attack were killed in one blow .
"Magic Missile . "
Grid refrained from using skills in order to preserve his stamina . He used Magic Missile which didn’t consume any stamina because it was the lowest level magic . His maximum mana increased and it wasn’t difficult to use . He also wanted to raise the level of Magic Mastery that he learned from the Behen Archipelago .
“You monster!”
“Die!”
Puk! Puuok!
Grid wasn’t Kraugel . He had ranker level control, but that didn’t mean he was a **** . He couldn’t completely block the attacks of all the soldiers . But it didn’t matter .
[You have suffered 230 damage . ]
[You have suffered 155 damage . ]
“Good, good . You’re doing very well . Hit me more . ”
The benefits to Grid were significant after receiving damage from many people at once .
[Weapons Mastery has risen to Lv . 5 . ]
[The experience of Tiramet's Belt (Unique) has increased by 0 . 01%!]
His skill experience and item’s experience rose at a tremendous pace . Grid was becoming stronger in real time .
‘If this continues, Weapons Mastery will hopefully gain one more level today and Tiramet’s Belt might accumulate 30% experience . ’
Weapons Mastery was a passive skill that raised his attack power and speed no matter what weapon was worn . Magic Mastery was a passive skill that raised the power of magic . Tiramet’s Belt reduced damage and allowed him to summon the vampire Tiramet if it reached the legendary rating .
Grid was pleased with this growth . He was able to reduce the stress of having demonic power rise every time he killed a person . At this moment, Grid perceived the battlefield as a workplace . There was no tension . Why?
‘None of them are a match for me . ’
The 100,000 troops . It was literally just numbers . There were no enemies who could threaten Grid .
‘Are there no knights?’
Braham spoke to the curious Grid . ‘The enemies are waiting for you to become tired . Then they will commit their true power . ’
‘I know . ’
He needed to be vigilant . Grid controlled his mind and saw the soldiers rushing at him with shields .
‘Now they are using tactics?’
Use the shields in the lead to block Grid while attacking Grid from the rear with spears . Duke Lucilliv used basic, but efficient, tactics to press at Grid . It was a means to reduce losing troops and accelerate Grid’s stamina consumption . But what if he pierced through?
“Do you want to stop my sword with these cheap shields?”
Seokeok!
Grid wasn’t burdened by the shields . From the public’s point of view, the soldiers with large shields seemed very strong . But Grid slashed at them without hesitation . Then .
“Kuaaaack!”
The sword pierced through their shields and armor, killing the soldiers .
“Heok . ”
The spearmen who believed in the shields panicked . Their upper bodies were exposed and Grid rotated, cutting at them .
Seokeok!
“ . . . !”
An overwhelming attack that made the combination of shields and spears useless! The morale of the Eternal army fell rapidly after they witnessed this .
[The morale of the soldiers is at the bottom . The soldiers’ attack and defense will drop by 20% and their recovery speed is reduced . ]
“Wow . ”
The Eternal players were shocked by the warning windows that appeared before them . They couldn’t catch the timing to attack Grid . They coveted the rewards for the ‘Fight the Rebel Leader’ quest, but could they really obtain it? It was more likely that they would be killed by Grid .
Grid’s momentum shot to the top .
Pepepepeok!
Then the magic bombardment from the rooftops of the two-story houses surrounding the central square began . Duke Lucilliv grabbed Grid’s eyes with the shield infantry and used the magicians in this gap .
[You have suffered 2,200 damage . ]
[You have suffered 930 damage . ]
[You have suffered 1,660 damage . ]
[You have suffered 3,490 . . . ]
. . .
. . .
“Ugh . ”
Grid’s face became tense for the first time . The magic damage was quite burdensome because he was wearing Triple Layers, not the Holy Light set . The bombardment poured at him from all directions . It was difficult to avoid or stop . However, did he replace his battle gear with the Holy Light set? No, it was meaningless . The damage from the pouring arrows would just increase instead .
The reaction of the viewers was updated in real time .
-Crazy;; Hundreds of magic spells are pouring down . It’s a big hit .
-The Overgeared members wouldn’t be able to withstand that . ㅡㅡ; It seems really dangerous .
-A reversal . . . It’s the end for Grid .
-5,000 people is nonsense . ㅋㅋ He couldn’t even kill 2,000 people . ㅋㅋ Kraugel would’ve killed way more . ㅋㅋ
Pepepepeok!
In the midst of the magic bombardment .
“Item Transformation . ”
Grid transformed two of the God Hands protecting him . They changed to a bow . The Red Phoenix Bow . One Red Phoenix Bow was held by two God Hands while the other was held by Grid .
“Fly Up!”
Kiiiiiiing!
Bairan Castle . Two red phoenixes appeared in the sky above it .
