Overgeared Chapter 944:
Chapter 944
It was natural to defeat the Hero . One year in real time . In Satisfy time, the Hero had stagnated for three years while the contestants made steady progress . Indeed, last year’s Hero was defeated by many challengers . His fall reminded the world of how great the power of time was .
On the other hand, this year’s Hero was different . He blocked the challenges of the famous powerhouses and cruelly slaughtered those who didn’t understand who they were up against . This was the Hero’s true nature . How powerful was the Overgeared King Grid, who made even time meaningless? People deeply questioned this and shook . The huge presence of the monster called Grid was eroding the entire planet .
However, Kraugel remained calm as he competed against the Hero . His time, efforts and development were denied but he didn’t show despair . It seemed like he had been prepared a long time ago .
It was two years after becoming a Sword Saint . Kraugel, who had lost a lot and got back up, was much stronger than he was last year . He had a vast amount of knowledge and information accumulated during the process of becoming the peak of two billion users . The transformed Kraugel was like a fictional character who returned to the past and was living a second life . He started again from the beginning and was the only hope against the monster called Grid .
Kraugel neutralized the Hero’s blow with Shedding and inserted his sheath into the ground .
“ . . . ?”
At the same time, the Hero’s sword dance stopped . The skill was cancelled because the path of the footwork was blocked by Kraugel’s sheath . What happened next? The Hero naturally reacted . He started a new sword dance . Kraugel’s sheath blocked the path again . The same thing was repeated many times .
Kraugel was familiar with all of Grid’s sword dances since last year . Nevertheless, the Hero didn’t panic . Once all his footwork started being read, he responded by mixing them with false information . He corrected the path of the footwork in real time, using footwork that wasn’t related to the sword dances in order to confuse Kraugel .
The Enlightenment Sword and White Tiger Sword collided without stopping . There were occasions where black flames hit Kraugel and stone thorns created wounds on the Hero . In the midst of this continued fighting, Kraugel drew out an additional sword . He summoned two new swords from his inventory while placing sheaths in the ground to seal off the Hero’s footwork . Kraugel’s swords and sheaths kept hitting the Hero .
“Kuek . . . ”
Anger flared in the eyes of the Hero . He was agitated enough to express his emotions, making an opportunity for Kraugel . The insight-induced predictions became dull the moment the Hero lost his composure and the experienced Kraugel didn’t miss it .
“Splitting the Sky . ”
It was the technique he learnt from Great Swordsman Piaro . The sword technique that dealt a deep wound to Great Demon Belial was released from Kraugel’s sword after he avoided the Hero’s attack .
"Cough!"
The Hero coughed up blood . Three bars disappeared from the health gauge, which was divided into 10 bars . The Hero had allowed a lot of hits throughout the battle . Thus, this sword technique was a considerable burden despite the Hero’s high defense .
" . . . Am I seeing correctly right now?”
"What is this . . . Cutting off the sword dances with a sheath? How did he come up with that idea?”
"It isn’t just the idea . The body will follow . ”
The majority of people didn’t understand the battle but there were some who felt admiration . In particular, the impact on Chris was great since he was pursuing the ultimate swordsmanship .
‘The range of his thinking is different . ’
At this point, he doubted the heavens . What was the reason for a monster called Grid after there was a genius called Kraugel? Then Lauel’s voice was heard . “If the two of them were born in different eras, they wouldn’t be able to grow this far . ”
Going beyond the limits . Grid and Kraugel recognized each other as rivals and were able to drive themselves to the limit because they were conscious of each other . They reached their present state by overcoming their limitations several times .
“Isn’t it the wish of heaven that a transcendent beyond a human is born? It is advising us to prepare for the attack of some huge enemy . Kuk, kukukuk . . . Sooner or later, the door of a second dimension might open on Earth . ”
“Ah . . . ? I see…”
Why did Lauel come to the waiting room of another country and talk nonsense? Chris got goosebumps .
『 Blackening . . . ! The true power of the Hero is being shown! 』
On the monitor, the Hero facing Kraugel turned black . His black hair rose as demonic energy appeared around him . It was the precursor to Transcend . The Hero moved away from Kraugel and started releasing sword energy . He subdued the enemy from the distance while opening up Cray’s Power, which had a 100% blood-sucking effect . The blood from the wounds formed red tails that threatened Kraugel . It was a huge momentum that seemed like it would kill anyone who came near . The God Hands were trying to get rid of the swords in the air . Kraugel was busy trying to control the swords while avoiding the bombardment .
‘Shedding doesn’t work . ’
The Sword Saint’s passive skill Shedding was a technique where if he blocked the target’s attack with a sword type object, it would deflect it without him receiving any damage and had a certain probability of destroying the enemy’s stance . It was impossible for Shedding to cope with the energy blades that exploded at the moment of contact .
The duration of Transcend was approximately 30 seconds . Kraugel knew Grid and there was no way he could miss this . He planned to avoid the Hero, who increased his attack speed and attack power with Blackening and was bombarding him with Transcend .
Kraugel used True Clouds, his sword emitting a blue fog that erased his presence . Sparks of white magic power appeared in the sky above the blue fog . It was the Alarm spell . It was one of the abilities Grid could use when he had the mental power to afford it . The Hero had set the combination of Alarm + Magic Missile every time the cooldown ended since the battle started . This was an attack optimized to aim at the defenseless Kraugel .
The light came pouring down . Dozens of energy blades from Transcend came from the front while Magic Missiles poured from the sky .
‘Did he match the timing of the spell’s activation to Transcend?’
Kraugel was trapped between the magic and energy blades . He activated Super Sensitivity and retreated . He moved faster than the energy blades of Transcend . His appearance as he flew through the fog while blocking the Magic Missiles with Sword Curtain was fast and complex . The viewers found it hard to follow him .
However, the Hero utilized insight and the Slaughterer’s Eye Patch to the limit and never lost sight of the target . The fog created by True Clouds, which disturbed his view and blocked detection, didn’t show much effect . The continuous movements directly related to the consumption of stamina .
After confirming that no more Magic Missiles poured from the sky, Kraugel stopped and adjusted his sword . It was due to the ‘Reveal Sharp Teeth’ effect attached to the +8 White Tiger Sword that had grown to the unique rating . The Hero didn’t miss this opening . He sensed that the target had stopped and pulled out the Ideal Dagger . His right hand held the Enlightenment Sword and the left hand held the Ideal Dagger .
“Quick Movements . ”
The Hero’s agility was maximized . Now that it was useless, the Ideal Dagger was thrown through the air like a dart as the Hero fired six continuous energy blades at the frozen Kraugel . Kraugel twisted his back .
‘Just a bit more . ’
The attack speed was very fast . The energy blades poured down with almost no break . Kraugel waited until a breathtaking moment . He waited until more than 12 energy blades reached him . The number of energy blades that reached his nose was exactly 12 . Kraugel swung his sword along with six additional swords .
Even so, the timing was a bit off . It was because one of the swords dealing with the God Hands was hit by the Ideal Dagger and flew away . The God Hand was temporarily freed and struck Kraugel’s collarbone with Failure .
“Kuek . . . ! Tearing the Sky!”
The storm of sword energy tore into the sky like a beast’s claws . Four of the 18 energy blades pouring toward Kraugel hit him and the remaining 14 returned to the Hero . The Hero didn’t intercept or avoid them . The direction of the counterattack Tearing the Sky was limited to above . The 14 deflected energy blades passed over the Hero’s head and exploded .
『 Ah! He failed with his aim? 』
『 I think he lost his balance after allowing the God Hand’s attack . The damage done by the energy blades seems quite big . . . 』
The commentators watching the situation felt pity as Kraugel walked through the fog . Unlike what the commentators thought, Kraugel accomplished his intentions . The series of explosions over the head caused a massive shock wave in the vicinity and caused the Hero’s body to shake .
Kraugel stood in place and swung his sword . The distance between Kraugel and the Hero was approximately 15 meters . It was a distance that the sword couldn’t cross . Still, not one person thought that Kraugel was hitting the air . They knew about the sword that split apart the world . The neat cutting sound produced by Kraugel spread out into the distance .
The clouds in the sky . . .
The land between Kraugel and the Hero . .
The things that made up the landscape were split in half, as if they were like that from the beginning . It was the effect of Space Sword, one of Kraugel’s ultimate techniques .
“ . . . !?”
The eyes of the Hero widened . This guy was learning .
