Overgeared Chapter 717:
Chapter 717
Flash!
The remnants of light flashing off Vantner’s bald head was still dazzling . Due to this, he felt eyes focused on him from four directions .
“Hahaha . . . The helmet designs these days . . . ”
“ . . . ”
There was an awkward silence . Pon, who would’ve normally laughed at Vantner, could only gulp . The appearance of the four direct descendants was still shocking .
“ . . . Seven is a lucky number?”
“ . . . ”
Peak Sword couldn’t react to someone’s comment . Four direct descendants in one city . The four earl-class vampires appeared at the same time? It was the worst case scenario that no one expected . How could Peak Sword imagine it?
“How did this happen . . . ?”
Lauel’s eyes were shaken . According to the results of his research, the direct vampires were strongly affected by the Curse of Idleness . They didn’t leave their cities and slept in the coffins for tens or hundreds of years . It was against the setting for them to leave their cities and gather in a certain area .
‘The four of them are all city owners?’
Lauel started to get a headache . He was stressed because the plan changed with unexpected variables .
“I’m sor . . . ry . ”
Lauel opened his trembling lips and apologized . As the initiator of the city conquest plan, he thought he should bear all responsibility . He wanted to sacrifice himself to give his colleagues time to retreat . But in order to escape from the vampire city, they had to defeat the owner of the city . Until then, they couldn’t leave the city . Lauel’s sacrifice wouldn’t solve the problem . The party’s chances of survival were zero .
‘This is bad . . . !’
His carelessness weakened the power of the Overgeared Kingdom . Lauel’s face was white and stricken . Someone placed a hand on the shoulder of the guilt-stricken Lauel . It was a big and warm hand . Lauel couldn’t not know the owner of this hand .
“King Grid . . . ”
Lauel turned his gaze and met Grid’s cool eyes .
"Use your brain if you have time to apologize . Isn’t this the time to be calm? Try it . Regain your spirit . ”
“ . . . ”
Yes, Lauel was aware of his weakness from a long time ago . If things flowed differently from his thoughts, he lost his composure and the ability to deal with it . This was a fatal weakness for a strategist . A strategist should be able to cope with any variable calmly and do their best .
"Don’t look like it’s over . ”
Four earl class direct descendants? There was no possibility of fighting and winning . But he didn’t have the slightest intention of being helpless . This was Grid .
"Think while we buy some time . That’s the best thing we can do right now . ”
The morale of his colleagues had fallen to the bottom . Regas, who desired fighting against the strong, and Katz, who had a strong spirit, were fine . But not all members of Overgeared were the same . In particular, Ruby was terrified .
‘I promised to be a dependable person . ’
A leader had responsibilities . Especially in a tricky situation!
Teong!
Grid looked up and flew into the sky . He would confront the four direct descendants alone .
“Grid . . . !”
This was the end . They would all die . Some Overgeared members were frustrated and desperate at the thought of losing experience and items . They belatedly noticed Grid soaring into the sky . Black demonic energy covered Grid’s body as he reached the four direct descendants .
“Blackening . Quick Movements . ”
[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 . ]
[Your evasion rate is increased by 30% and your agility doubled for 1 minute . ]
Grid would directly confront the four direct descendants alone! He put a lot of effort into survival . He was determined to grasp the power of the direct descendants and show the way to his colleagues .
Pit!
Pipipipipit!
“Hoh . ”
The eyes of the four direct descendants, looking down at the humans with no inspiration, widened slightly . They thought a trivial human was coming to commit suicide but he was as agile as a flying squirrel .
"Interesting . "
Pit!
Pipipipipit!
A storm of dark energy blades poured out! Blood started to appear on the skin of the four direct descendants . They weren’t able to avoid the attack of Grid who had reached the highest speed .
'Not even fighting back or defending? Okay, there isn’t completely no answer . ’
Grid slightly grasped the agility of the direct descendants and performed a sword dance . This time he intended to measure their defense .
“Link!”
Chukak .
Chukakakakak!
The 20 strikes per second, which was more powerful than normal, cut at the body of Earl Cray . The God Hands firmly guarded Grid against the counterattacks of other earls and Grid identified the notification windows that came into view .
[You have dealt 16,900 damage to the target!]
[You have dealt 18,780 damage to the target!]
[You have dealt 20,600 . . . ]
. . .
. . .
‘Not bad!’
The defense wasn’t at a very good level . It was slightly less than the defense of Third Knight Lorex . Grid had hope .
‘If we all join forces, we can hunt two of them . ’
In the end, it was okay to fail in attacking the city . If they took out two out of four, they would unconditionally succeed in attacking the city in the next challenge . The moment Grid thought this .
“Ohu, that’s right . That ring shows that you’re the human who sealed Elfin Stone . ” Earl Cray smiled at Grid after being hit . His gaze was focused on Elfin Stone’s Ring . “Looking at this, Elfin Stone must be pathetic . Well, unlike me, he wasn’t a candidate to be a marquis . ”
Paaaat!
“ . . . ?”
Time stopped? Grid fell into an illusion for a moment . The blood that flowed from Earl Cray’s wounds rejected the laws of gravity . The drops of blood floated in the air .
"What are you doing?”
“ . . . !”
Time hadn’t stopped . Grid heard Earl Cray’s voice and tried to swing the sword again, but it was already too late .
Ku kwa kwa kwa kwa! Ku kwa kwa kwa kwa!
The large amount of blood shed by Earl Cray . The massive amount of blood gathered in the air and shot towards Grid .
Peeeeeong!
“Kuk . . . !”
Grid’s face distorted with pain and shock once he was struck by the blood .
[You have suffered 19,500 damage . ]
[All of your lost health is absorbed by the target . ]
A powerful blood-sucking ability! Earl Cray’s **** attack didn’t stop at massive damage to Grid . 100% of the damage done to Grid was restored as Earl Cray’s health .
‘Shit, this is a direct . . . !’
Earl Cray wasn’t an intimidating opponent because his physical ability was relatively normal . Just as Elfin Stone specialized in swordsmanship and magic, and Tiramet specialized in physical abilities, Cray specialized in the ability to absorb blood . He wasn’t an easily dismissed opponent . As Grid was hit in the chest and started to fall to the ground, Cray’s hand grasped Grid’s face .
Next .
“Blood Tornado . ”
Puhahahak!
Pillars of blood uncoiled around Earl Cray’s body like living serpents . They started to swirl in response to Earl Cray’s order . Grid’s body started to be torn apart .
[You have suffered 17,500 damage . ]
[You have suffered 15,900 damage . ]
[A great king puts his safety first . Due to the First King title effect, a shield with all the health lost in the last minute will be created . ]
[All terrain adaptability has increased by 100% while movement speed and defense has increased by 10% . ]
“Um . . . ?”
The pillars of blood wouldn’t stop until the target was completely dead . Earl Cray, who was convinced that the man trapped inside would soon die, was amazed . It was due to the strong shield created around the human’s body .
Kukwak!
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
The human body, which should’ve been torn easily in the **** storm, suddenly started to resist the storm . This was because Grid swapped from Triple Layers to the Holy Light Armor set .
“Linked Kill!”
Puk!
An energy blade shot through the storm . The terrible attack hit Earl Cray’s chest .
Puk puk puk!
Two times, three times, and four times .
“Cough!”
Earl Cray coughed up blood and hurried away from Grid .
“Hahahat! This is too interesting!”
Unlike the others who suffered from the appearance of the four direct descendants, there was one person who was happy .
"Black Lightning Ascension!”
Pajik!
Pajijijik!
It was Asura Regas, who wished to fight strong opponents at any time . He couldn’t fly in the sky like Grid, so he climbed the wall of one building and jumped from the roof towards the four direct descendants . This was the point where Earl Cray moved away from Grid .
"A pincer attack . . . !”
Earl Cray was surprised when an enemy appeared in an unexpected place!
Puaaaaaaaah!
Regas’ punch struck his face . At this time .
“Fly Up!”
“Rail Spear!"
The other Overgeared members responded by starting the attack . 20 attack skills that killed the true blood vampires at once hit Earl Cray .
Sukakak!
Peeng!
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
Hit, hit, hit, and hit again! The Overgeared members’ attacks caused Earl Cray’s wounds to increase, as well as the amount of blood shed . It was the prelude to a disaster .
“Hmmm . . . I’m surprised that humans are so strong . ”
Earl Cray sincerely felt admiration . The number of blood pillars around his body increased from one to four . The more blood he shed, the stronger he became . This was the reality of Earl Cray . All of the Overgeared members, including Grid, tensed up . They couldn’t imagine how much stronger he had become now that he had four blood pillars .
“Cray has made four ‘tails’ after a few hundred years . ”
"Isn’t it the first time since he fought Braham with six tails and was beaten up?”
"These humans are pretty good . ”
All three direct descendants, who hadn’t yet participated in the battle, were assured of Cray’s victory . Until a crazy person came forward .
“Kuk . . . ! Kukukuk! Using blood as a weapon in front of me?”
Blood Warrior Katz . He had complained about why they had to all gather together to hunt . He had sat with folded arms when the party conquered the 9th and 8th cities .
“I’m the master of all the blood in this world . ”
Kwaruk!
Kwarururung!
“ . . . !!”
The eyes of all four direct descendants, including Cray, widened . It was because the four blood pillars around Cray’s body started to run wild .
