Overgeared Chapter 946:

“Wahhhh!” The shouting never ended . The crowd was excited about the feast of techniques as the jade light sword and the bullets eliminated the buffs . Yura’s strange power that neutralized Damian’s strength caused many people to feel astonished . Others were astonished by Damian’s control as he responded to the rapid-fire bullets .

『 Player Yura’s fighting power is equal to Kraugel in last year’s drawing the sword event . I felt it at the time but her one-on-one talent is remarkable . Why hasn’t she been playing in PvP? 』

『 Isn’t South Korea lacking players? It was particularly worse one or two years ago . Every medal is necessary so she needs to avoid appearing in the same events as Grid . 』

『 Grid’s absence is a chance for Yura . 』

『 We must revise our evaluation of Yura and South Korea . Grid is absent but South Korea is still 6th in the medal rankings . The number of silver and bronze medals is low but they got six gold medals . 』

『 Incredible . Now nobody can think of South Korea as a weak country . If Yura gets a gold in PvP and the others play a role in the demon king subjugation, won’t they be able to take third place? 』

“Cough . . . !”

Damian eventually lost all buffs and was stabbed by the sword . Damian coughed up blood, blocked an incoming bullet with the shield and swung the sword hidden behind the shield . It was a fast-paced battle . Damian had interlocked their swords when he saw Yura’s heavy eyes . As he blocked the muzzle aimed at his abdomen with the shield, he asked with a worried expression .

You look agitated . ”

The probability of getting a gold medal was high if Damian and the other powerhouses entered events with low competition . However, the reason they participated in PvP was because they enjoyed it . It was a field where they could duel without fearing physical penalties . There was no reason not to be happy .

Then why did Yura looked troubled? She seemed to feel anxiety and pain instead of enthusiasm and joy . This desperate appearance . . . it was hard to watch . She looked like a person standing on the edge of a cliff .

Please tell me if you are having a hard time . ”

“ . . . ?”

“Grid’s friend is my friend . If you need help then I am willing to offer it . ”

Damian was reluctant to use the skill Holy Sword Deployment that he acquired before the National Competition . He was reluctant to bring it out against Yura, whose state wasn’t right . Of course, he wasn’t looking down on her . Yura was so strong that he couldn’t guarantee victory even if he used the skill . He just felt worried .

For the first time, a smile appeared on Yura’s face . The smile was beautiful enough to be fatal . It made everything in the surrounding scenery black and white, apart from Yura herself .

“Thank you but I’ll take care of it . ”

Swordsmanship of Light . It had higher attack power, accuracy rate and critical hit rate than the normal Weapons Mastery skill . It was the strongest mastery skill that removed a buff or even gave a debuff when consuming a ‘great demon’s sins’ . The jade light around Yura’s sword symbolized the inherent magic power of a Demon Slayer and gave the ‘weakness’ debuff after striking Damian’s sword .

Fight me with all your strength . ”

Yura had to win . She only needed results . Nevertheless, what was the point of a false victory? Could she confidently feel pride in it? Yura wanted Damian to stop hesitating and her heart was communicated to Damian .

I understand . ”

Damian’s left hand held the shield and started to light up . It was a white light that was like blazing flames .

“Holy Sword Deployment . ”

Damian overflowed with holy power as he shot toward Yura with full force .

***

“Ha . . . ”

Grid couldn’t take his eyes off the confrontation between Yura and Damian . Damian had grown rapidly in the past few months while Yura was strong enough to be worrying . The confrontation between the two of them was as brilliant and fierce as the confrontation between Kraugel and the Hero . They weren’t inferior to the candidates to win this year’s PvP . Even Grid’s blood was boiling . He had a desire to fight properly with them . It was unfortunate that Yura wasn’t participating in the demon king subjugation .

“ . . . Um . ”

The fight lasted for 15 minutes before it ended . Damian was greatly weakened after the holy sword ended while Yura’s concentration increased . She exquisitely used Hell Leap to make Damian’s shield meaningless and succeeded in piercing his weak spot .

Yura was left alone on stage . It was victory after a fierce battle but she still looked bitter and lonely . Of course, it was an expression that only Grid noticed . Yura was smiling and most people interpreted that she was happy . Grid had been with Yura for a long time and could glimpse the shadows in her smile .

“What is going on?’

Should he call her? No, he couldn’t . They might be colleagues but it was strange to call her just because he was worried . . .

Our relationship isn’t that special . She might feel uncomfortable that I can tell just by looking at her face . ’

She might laugh at him like Ahyoung . Even so, he couldn’t stop worrying . . .

He hesitated while holding his phone .

“Youngwoo-ssi, let’s go!” Then Team Leader Yoon Nahee opened the door of the waiting room and prompted him . He had to make an appearance as the demon king . It was a sort of showcase for the demon king . Participation in the showcase was a clause stipulated in the contract signed by Grid .

“I’m going . ”

Grid had delayed it by saying he wanted to see the confrontation between Yura and Damian . Now he hurriedly rose from his seat .

***

The S . A Group was placing great significance on the demon king subjugation .

A world made by players . The demon king subjugation event contained the ideal that Lim Cheolho was pursuing . In addition, the nature of the event meant it had high commercial value and was highly anticipated . It was no surprise that many investments were made before the demon king subjugation even started .

“What?”

It was after the round of 8 was completed for PvP . The 100,000 excited spectators started to feel confused . The billions of viewers were embarrassed as well . The stage for PvP was suddenly swallowed up in darkness and a new stage appeared . It was a plains area with a towering castle .

“What is happening all of a sudden?”

Is the stage changing for the semi-finals?”

People showed great interest . The spectators were unable to leave to go to the toilet and viewers couldn’t turn the channel . Now there were only important games left so people’s attention and concentration were at the maximum . That’s why the S . A Group had the demon king appear at this time .

“ . . . ?”

Music started to play . The grand, arrogant and provocative melody overwhelmed people, making them feel excited . There were people who noticed the identity of the musical instrument making the melody .

A pipe organ . . . ”

The final image of the National Competition’s opening video rushed into people’s mind . A young man leaned against a huge organ with thousands of pipes and arrogantly beckoned with a finger .

“Heok . . . !”

The organ, an enigmatic figure, the one event left and the demon king . All types of puzzle pieces aligned in people’s minds .

“Demon king . . . ?”

Demon king!!”

The correct answer popped out everywhere . Thunder appeared in the dark sky .

“Kukukuk . ”

Someone appeared on the plains . It was a man wearing a grey mask . His head had one big horn and two small horns . The eyes underneath the mask were red, there were two wings on his back, his two hands were larger than his face and blade-like nails stretched out from his fingers .

He was the demon king .

***

Regas was an ace of the Overgeared members and one of the favorites to win PvP . He won against famous powerhouses and suffered a setback in the quarter-finals . The opponent who knocked him down was Zibal . Zibal made a brilliant comeback . He was happy to shake off the stigma of being a punching bag for two years but this joy was short-lived .

“Tsk . They are doing everything these days . ”

Zibal’s dissatisfaction was huge at the moment . It was because the attention of the people was focused on the appearance of the demon king instead of him .

What is so great about the demon king?”

Originally, Zibal’s talent was in raids . He was proud of his unique ability to analyze the patterns of boss monsters and efficiently manage the party until he was pushed by Grid’s items . Now he had a hidden class and was confident in more than just raids . He was unhappy that the organizers were highlighting a ‘fake’ boss monster .

The minds of the other players were similar . The 400 participants of the demon king subjugation event . Many of those who joined the two minute show, the Demon King’s Appearance, weren’t pleased . In particular, those who were just eliminated from PvP were sensitive .

“Yoho! Do you want to play?” The 1st ranked earth magician, Goshar . After dropping out in the round of 32, he sat in the waiting room until he participated in the emergence of the demon king . Now he started casting spells . The participants were free to do whatever they wanted in the Demon King’s Appearance . There was nothing wrong with attacking the demon king who stood alone .

It happened when Goshar was about to cast spells at the man with the name ‘Demon King’ above his head .

[From now on, the audience will start voting!]

[If you make an impression and gain many votes in this event, you will receive a reward equal to a gold medal . However, the medals tally won’t be affected . ]

“ . . . ?”

The players in this event weren’t aware of the voting beforehand . The annoyed players were motivated as soon as they saw the notification window .

Goshar laughed . “Yohohohut! The crowd’s votes are mine!”

The person who acted first would leave a strong impression on the audience! Goshar cast magic before the others and considered the group voting system to be a blessing .

“Giant’s Haaaand! Yohohoho . ”

The moment that Goshar cast the spell, the ground turned to sand and the sand turned into a huge hand shape . At the same time .

[The magic spell has been discovered by the Demon King . The magic spell has been cancelled . ]

[The demon king has duplicated your magic spell!]

. . . H-Hiik?”

Goshar’s eyes widened and he became as hard as stone . The giant hand disappeared and a new one was summoned, the new hand fell toward Goshar’s head .

“ . . . ”

Goshar was crushed like a worm . The spectators and players couldn’t understand the situation and their mouths dropped open . Silence fell .

“Why don’t all of you come at once?” The demon king made a provocative remark . He waved his hand like the opening video .

. . . This guy doesn’t know who he is facing . ”

“He is a sad **** . ”

Some aggressive players acted . The magicians were forced to calm their temper but not the warriors . They pulled out their weapons and rushed at the demon king . He was an opponent they had to fight anyway . It was better to figure out the power of the demon king as much as possible during this short event .

Rain poured down from the thick clouds . In the rain, the demon king lightly tapped his fingers . A storm blew and dozens of thunderbolts fell from the sky . Dozens of players were hit and turned to rags .

K . . . Kuoock . . . ”

F-Field magic . . . ”

It destroyed magic and didn’t allow them access . The demon king’s dignity was beyond the expectations of the people . The tense players started to feel fear while the commentators were silent . The spectators and viewers were focused on the screen without leaving their seats .

At this moment, the whole world was watching the demon king . The demon king was a person familiar with being watched by people . It was because he had experienced it dozens of times . He spoke calmly, If you don’t come then I will go to you . ”

In the rain, the demon king pulled out a weapon that could either be a spear or a sword and flew toward the players .

[The Demon King’s Appearance event has ended . ]

The message rose stating that the two minutes had ended and the demon king’s body disappeared into the black fog . The remaining players were silent . Only a few rankers like Zibal, Seuron, Damian and the Overgeared members had shining eyes . However, one person was different .

‘Grid . . . ’ The person who knew the identity of the demon king trembled . It was electrifying . The man noticed that the Demon King Grid was several times stronger than the Hero Grid .

A new notification window popped up .

[The audience voting has ended . ]

[The winner of the most votes is the Demon King . ]
