Overgeared Chapter 676:
Chapter 676
Peeeeeong!
“ . . . . !”
A sudden explosion! Alex shook while aiming the sniper gun at Grid . Grid had a wide smile on his face .
“Heh, how about this?”
This might not be his field of confidence, but Grid took an attitude of trying to learn no matter the circumstances . He even studied the domestic affairs that were handled by Lauel . It was a habit resulting from the serious obsession of not going back to being a loser . Of course, his learning ability was slow due to his innately low intelligence . However, this wasn’t a big problem . No matter how stupid, he would improve a little bit if he kept trying .
A desire to be better than he was! Grid was filled with hot aspirations during his battle with Agnus . Then he developed .
Jiing .
Pepepepeng!
There was no guarantee of victory in a confrontation with the strong . He had to induce constant variables and the skill most suitable to cause a variable during his battle with Agnus was the Alarm spell . Thanks to this, Grid was conscious of the Alarm spell since the beginning of the fight with Alex .
He predicted that Alex would once again open the distance after becoming alert to the powerful attack of Link and arranged the Alarm spell in Alex’s predicted movement path . Of course, Grid wasn’t smart and couldn’t predict the exact path . As a result, he wasted a lot of mana placing magic over a wide range .
‘I only have enough mana to use the ultimate skills two more times . . . Eh?’
Just like all rankers, Grid’s flow of consciousness sped up during a battle . The proper eruption of adrenaline had a positive effect . Thus, Grid’s judgment was quick .
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship!”
Alex hadn’t let go of the sniper position despite Alarm being triggered and Magic Missile being fired .
Kuwaaaaaang!
Alex fired the sniper rifle at Grid .
“Revolve . ”
Grid immediately used his strongest counterattack skill that could ‘deflect all types of attacks . ’ But it was useless . The sniper mode of the magical engineering gun had the option of ‘make sure to hit the target’ in exchange for taking a significant amount of time to aim . This was the same concept as reality . It wasn’t a question of speed . A human’s body was already pierced with a bullet by the time they heard the gun being fired .
It was the same with Grid . He couldn’t expect the protection of the God Hands right now .
Peeng!
“ . . . . !”
The bullet from the sniper rifle left a jade afterglow as it pierced between Grid’s brow and the sound of a watermelon bursting was heard . In a sense, his head had burst . The psychological fear that Grid felt was enormous .
[You have died!]
[A legend doesn’t die easily . You can resist all attacks for 5 seconds with a minimum of health . ]
"Ah . . . !”
Grid’s body instantly became soaked with sweat . It wasn’t an exaggeration when he said he was like a drowning rat . Didn’t he feel his head bursting like a watermelon? Grid’s first action was to touch his head with trembling hands . He was worried that he might be suffering from a body that lost its head . Fortunately, Grid’s head was fine . The head drilled in his forehead had also been restored . There were some cases of monsters or NPCs’ heads being cut off, but even the S . A . Group avoided players having their heads burst .
“Pant . . . Pant . . . ”
Grid’s breathing became rough from the terrible experience while fear also rose in him . Normally, he would’ve acted with all his strength during the five seconds of immortality . But he already wasted two seconds recovering his soul . Alex didn’t miss this gap .
Tang tang! Tatatatang!
Alex was convinced that the intruder had suffered deadly damage and was embarking on a more aggressive offensive . The sniper was converted back to a pistol and bullets were constantly fired at Grid .
“ . . . ”
The intruder was a great demon . Protect the Behen Archipelago from the great demons and save humanity . This was the command that Pagma, his summoner, gave him and was the driving force behind Death Knight Alex . Alex wouldn’t stop attacking until he died . The result?
Tatatatang!
As only two seconds remained for the immortality passive, Grid’s body had already become riddled with bullets . Alex used quick fire skills without a sense of reason . At this point, Grid’s fury reached its peak .
" . . . Making me consume my immortality . ”
It meant he couldn’t immediately challenge the next island .
"Thanks to you, I have to grind for another day . Blackening!”
Kuwaaaaaang!
A whirlwind emerged and covered Grid . Grid’s skin turned pale and the whites of his eyes became black . Even his visible breath was black .
Your black magic power has increased . ]
[You don’t have any black magic power . It will be replaced with demonic power . ]
[While Blackening is activated, your species will change to half-demon . ]
[As a half demon, your maximum health is reduced by 50% . Your attack power, magic power and agility will increased by 30% each . ]
[All attacks will be converted to the dark attribute . ]
His body was already in the immortal state! Grid didn’t need to be afraid of taking additional damage from Demon Slayer Alex . The key to ending this battle as soon as possible was Blackening . But .
[There is one second remaining on the immortality passive . ]
Could he beat Alex, with two thirds of his health gauge remaining, in one second?
“Blacksmith's Rage!”
Tang tang!
Tatatatang!
Grid used a buff and rushed in a straight line . There was no need for evasive behaviour and Grid succeeded in quickly narrowing the distance to Alex . His agility also rose due to Blackening .
“Item Transformation! Lifael’s Spear!”
Kuooooooh!
The God Hands turned into golden spears and pierced Alex at the same time .
[The duration of immortality is over . ]
Grid’s life became finite .
Clink!
Alex’s skull seemed to be smiling as he pointed the pistol at Grid . Grid hadn’t been able to enjoy the effect of Tiramet's Belt and the First King title due to an instantaneous death with nearly 50% of his health remaining . He only had 1 health point left and was facing Alex’s pistol . . .
‘ . . . He is calm?’
The 60th island . Sticks was startled while watching Grid’s battle . Grid was on the threshold of death and facing Alex who had almost half his health left . Yet Grid’s eyes didn’t shake at the pistol aiming at him . An unbelievable calm had settled over him . Sticks thought that Grid’s composure was abnormal .
‘The one who is blessed by the gods . ’
People were small in front of death . The countless challengers who stepped onto the Behen Archipelago felt frustration and despair when facing death . Yet Grid didn’t seem fazed at all .
Taaang!
In the crystal ball . Alex’s pistol fired from in front of Grid . The sound of the gunshot caused Sticks and Bini to close their eyes . Both of them was expecting Grid’s death . But Grid didn’t give up . He didn’t feel frustration or despair . The worst scenario?
‘How many times did I not experience the worst?’
Grid was already very familiar with it .
Taaang!
The moment Alex fired his pistol .
“Freely Move!”
It was the skill attached to the title ‘Secret Hero . ’ It was a high level dash skill that avoided all attacks until it reaches the ‘desired target’ within 200 meters .
“ . . . !!”
Alex’s purple light shook . He was confused that the four bullets fired from right in front of Grid were avoided with easy movements of the head .
“Heok . . . !”
Sticks and Bini were astonished as they watched Grid through the crystal ball . In particular, Sticks was so surprised that he felt a recurrence of his heart disease . Then Grid . . .
[The option effect ‘Ecstasy of Desire’ has activated from the Sword Born from Enlightenment and Strong Desires!]
[Your attack power will increase by three times and your evasion by 99% for 20 seconds . ]
[Your defense has become 0 . ]
Teong!
Grid dodged all the bullets thanks to the close deployment of Freely Move . He shoved Alex with his shoulders and then followed Alex, who was moving back .
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship . . . !”
Was it the strongest skill Pinnacle Kill? It was insufficient . Grid wanted to use a higher damage skill in order to take advantage of the 200% option attached to the Enlightenment Blade . But Pagma’s Swordsmanship had the deadly disadvantage of a long cooldown time and Link was still on cooldown .
Yet Grid didn’t have anything to worry about . For Grid, Link’s higher skill Transcended Link was still left!
“Transcended Link . ”
“ . . . . . !”
Kwa kwang!
Ku kwa kwa kwa kwa! Ku kwa kwa kwa kwa!
A turbulent storm of energy blades at short range! Alex’s body became mangled .
Kuwaaaaaaaaang!
The energy blades appeared many times and swallowed him up . The 62nd island shook several times . It was enough momentum to make someone fall down . On the other hand, Death Knight Alex was occasionally healed by the dark damage . . .
“Kiyaaaaaaaaaaack!”
The power of Grid’s buff skills and Ecstasy of Desire was overwhelming . It wasn’t a level that could be withstood with a certain amount of recovery . The 62nd island was purified .
[Death Knight Alex has been defeated!]
[You have succeeded in beating the 62nd island!]
[Alex’s Magic Engineering Bayonet (Produced by Pagma) has been acquired!]
[Alex’s Quick Gloves (Produced by Pagma) have been acquired!]
[As a reward for cleansing the island, you have gained one level!]
Shaaaaaaah-
Then a light fell from the sky . The desolate 62nd island was filled with grass and flowers .
“Hah . . . ”
Grid narrowly won . His smile was filled with relief and joy . In fact, it wasn’t necessary to give special meaning to playing the game . The game itself was fun and enjoyable .
“Grid! Thank you Grid!”
Sticks made a fuss as he came running from afar . The fairy Bini was flapping his wings beside Sticks . They remembered forgotten dreams and hopes as they saw the increasingly purified Behen Archipelago .
