Overgeared Chapter 665:
-I will leave your share, so please don’t interfere .
It was the whisper that Grid had sent to Euphemina immediately after Agnus summoned Lich Mumud . Grid didn’t want Euphemina to interfere in his confrontation with Agnus . It was because he wanted to win against Agnus, who was praised as the best, and be reborn as a true master . Euphemina was convinced . She didn’t mind Grid’s useless pride and respected it .
Thus, she remained silent . She felt sorry for Regas, but she reserved her power and waited for the time when she could leave the battle with White . Grid would call her after showing a satisfactory performance against Agnus . However, this plan was ruined .
“Fated to Perish . ”
Piaro appeared in response to Grid’s summons . He broke White with Pounding Mortar and then used the worst technique . The target was Agnus!
Puk!
“N-No . . . !”
The death of the summoner meant the defeat of the familiar . Once Agnus started turning to grey due to the hand plow hitting his forehead, Grid and Euphemina felt despair . It was because it was natural for Mumud to die when Agnus died . That’s right . Due to Piaro, Grid failed the ‘Braham and Mumud’ quest, while Euphemina failed to clear her ‘Liberate Mumud’s Soul’ quest .
“D-Damn Piaro . . . ”
He was a troll like Braham!
“Ruined . . . Eh?”
Grid doubted his eyes . It was because the grey covering Agnus had disappeared .
‘The death was cancelled halfway through?'
The concept itself was different from the immortal passive possessed by legends or those who were close to being legends . The immortal passive was a skill that temporarily resisted death, while Agnus had already received the death sentence .
‘How is this possible?’
Agnus’ dismal voice entered the ears of the confused Grid .
“Kuk . . . Kukuk! I never dreamt that such a big boss monster would show up . ”
“ . . . ”
Agnus lifted the grey coloration and appeared again . The flesh and muscles of his body were torn apart, exposing his bones . It was like seeing an undead, causing everyone to freeze .
“Summoning knights . . . You don’t need to control the summoned targets, so it’s the best summoning skill . ”
Agnus swept away his green hair that was covered with blood and sweat . Of course, a person needed to have a noble title to be able to summon knights . But he never thought about using the Summon Knights skill in this battle . The players who he had a dominant relationship with were already engaged in battle and the NPCs had finite lives . It was too risky to summon them against the ‘strong’ Grid .
“The bottom line is that your knight is too fraudulent . ”
Agnus stared at Piaro . A legendary NPC wasn’t something that players could face at this time . Wasn’t it unbalanced for such a monster to exist as someone’s possession?
‘People think like this when they see me . ’
Agnus laughed and remembered the Absolute Domination skill . Absolute Domination . It was a skill that Baal’s Contractor could only use three times . He could make a dead target his servant forever . Thus far, Agnus had only used Absolute Domination once . It was when he took away Lich Mumud from Braham .
‘I want to use this skill . . . ’
Agnus lips curved up . His eyes were filled with greed as he stared at Piaro . On the other hand, Piaro was looking at Agnus with a fierce hostility .
"The power over death . . . A dangerous guy . ”
Agnus’ strength was so high that Piaro was alert against it . Piaro saw that if he didn’t finish off Agnus now, Agnus would someday strike back at Grid .
"I have to kill you . ”
Taack!
Piaro tightened his grip on his sickle and hand plow .
"Ah, forget about today . ”
Agnus stepped back . The power of Immortal gathered near Agnus .
Clack! Clack clack!
Clack clack clack!
Uwaaaaah-
A barrier of thousands of skeletons was created . Even Piaro couldn’t rush through all of it and had to take a while . Veradin cried out as he broke through the encirclement of Ares troops .
"Agnus, this way!”
"Wait!” Grid called out to the retreating Agnus . "Do you have no pepper? Does it make sense for you to flee? Isn’t it shameful?”
"Pepper?"
Agnus froze in place . Grid thought his provocation would work . Unfortunately, Agnus was accustomed to criticism and mockery . He wasn’t sensitive enough to respond to Grid’s provocation .
“No? Kik!”
Flap .
Agnus threw off his robe and revealed his lower body . It was in a skeletal state . It wasn’t a good view, causing Grid to flinch and some people to feel nauseous .
"I will delay the game until next time . In any case, the quest doesn’t have a time limit . Kukuk!”
Agnus tried to leave his position, but the Overgeared members and Ares troops weren’t willing to let him .
“Fly Up!”
The phoenix rose from Jishuka’s myth rated Red Phoenix Bow and acted as the signal for the Ares’ troops onslaught towards Agnus . But .
"Raincoat . Body Shield . ”
Pepepepeok!
Fly Up! was blocked by Agnus’ anti-air spell while the other skills were disabled by Body Shield . Of course, Agnus couldn’t stop every skill alone . But Agnus had hundreds of necromancers and their undead numbered in the thousands . It was virtually impossible to break through the undead army that was only focused on defense . Piaro and Euphemina struggled against the skeletons .
"Next time we meet, summon the farmer and you will end up crying . ”
Agnus used Lich Mumud’s magic and retreated quickly . While Immortal was tying up the legs of the Overgeared and Ares members, Agnus left this meaningless comment and exited the battlefield .
[You have failed to defeat Mumud . ]
[Braham’s promise will have to wait for next time . ]
***
The failure to kill Agnus couldn’t be interpreted as a loss . In the first place, Grid’s purpose was to help Ares occupy the Belto Kingdom and it was purely a coincidence that they met Agnus .
『 As soon as Agnus and Immortal retreated, the Belto Kingdom raised the white flag! 』
『 God of War Ares has occupied the Belto Kingdom and has become the second player king! 』
『 It’s amazing that a person who possesses a national-level army has remained obscure for so long . I once again realized how wide the world of Satisfy is . 』
『 In that sense, Agnus is also incredible . He might’ve been defeated and unable to keep his promise to kill both the Overgeared King and God of War, but his strength was unique . 』
『 He blocked the Ares Army and elites of Overgeared . . . To be honest, the impact is bigger than when Kraugel appeared . I don’t know how many times I was thrilled watching him . 』
『 But the conclusion is that Grid is much better . The first king who helped the birth of the second player king will be even higher . 』
『 The farmer . . . 』
The stir was huge . The second kingdom of players was born after the Overgeared Kingdom . It also seemed to have a strong relationship with the Overgeared Kingdom, exponentially increasing Grid’s influence . Numerous people became alert and fearful of Grid .
The reputation of the Ares Army also soared into the sky . The impact that people received was great because the unknown force had excelled over a kingdom . People suspected there were many hidden forces in addition to the Ares Army . . .
And . . .
"If Agnus hadn’t consumed power to deal with Ares in the beginning, the outcome of his battle with Grid might’ve been different . ”
“In particular, his undead appearance when he reached the point of death was thrilling . Agnus is at least the level of Kraugel . ”
“I felt charisma in the way he laughed while sacrificing the same side . ”
“Yes . . . Agnus is the only one . Let’s follow Agnus . ”
The former Blood Carnival members and other villains were attracted by Agnus’ strength and madness . They started to gather around Agnus .
***
"I'm sorry . ”
Grid apologized to Euphemina . It was because she lost the opportunity to gain Lich Mumud due to his desires . Euphemina shook her head .
“Don’t apologize . In the first place, it’s unclear if I could’ve suppressed Mumud even if I was part of the fight . ”
The encounter with Agnus was unexpected . It was pure coincidence in Grid and Euphemina’s eyes . It was doubtful that Euphemina, who had consumed a lot of skills dealing with the armored elite troops, would be in good shape against Agnus and Mumud .
“He’s too strong . ”
Agnus’ strength far exceeded everyone’s expectations . But there were no shadows on the faces of Euphemina and the Overgeared members as they thought about Agnus . Agnus might be great, but Grid eventually won . The Overgeared members were reassured because Grid was by their side .
However, Grid’s expression was dark .
‘The crowd was right . If Agnus had all his liches and death knights against me from the start, I would’ve been less likely to win . ’
If the Braham and Mumud quest hadn’t occurred, then Grid wouldn’t have been a match for Agnus . Grid was able to maintain his status due to the robust compensation effect of the quest .
'Yes, I’m currently weaker than Agnus . I would’ve lost if it wasn’t for Piaro . ’
But .
‘The next time will be different . ’
The darkness on Grid’s face lifted . He was reminded of the flexibility of his items .
‘It’s the greatest advantage of Pagma's Descendant . ’
He could create new items . Grid didn’t doubt it . It would be much easier to deal with Agnus if he had items for the undead .
'I'm sure . Agnus is different from Kraugel . ’
Kraugel’s control and senses were a strong foundation that made him feel like a hard wall . But Agnus relied on skills and seemed to have a lot of blind spots . Items were the correct tool to use against skills .
“Then next time . . . ”
He would win . A big smile appeared on Grid’s face as he vowed . The game was too fun and there was no time to be bored .
***
Outside the Belto Kingdom .
Chik . . .
Chiiiik!
Agnus was alone and his body started turning to grey . The duration of his half-lich transformation was over .
[You have died . ]
[You have lost a large amount of experience . ]
“Kik . . . Kikikik! Grid . . . ”
Agnus wasn’t furious, despite his supposedly glorious debut being stained with humiliation . Was there another opponent who had pushed him so far since Kraugel? No .
"Grid! Kihat! Kikikik! Kuhahahat!”
Agnus was happy . He felt gratitude for Grid, who covered his memories of suffering . At the very least, he would be able to sleep soundly tonight .
