Overgeared Chapter 961:

‘Did he intentionally design this situation?’

Since the moment Grid was hit by Charging Shot, Jishuka had been filled with an anxiety that was difficult to express clearly . The timing of the magic machine’s explosion was perfect . Grid exposed a large gap in his defense, and the players didn’t miss this opportunity . Hundreds of scattered players gathered around Grid .

They fell into the trap . From the moment that Charging Shot hit, Grid had this current development in mind .

“He is becoming sexier . ” Jishuka shivered as she recalled the scene of five Grids in red armor . Her beautiful face turned red, and a rough breath emerged from the gap in her lips . She wanted to try dissecting Grid’s skull . Even the folds in his brain seemed **** .

Masquerading as the Demon King, Grid stared at Jishuka . Jishuka’s blush thickened . She trembled from extreme excitement .

“Come . ”

Approximately 80 players had survived . Most of the Overgeared members—including Chris and Peak Sword—might’ve been killed, but there were still many strong players such as Damian and Zibal with his magic machine . Despite this, Grid was looking at her, concentrating solely on her . It meant she was the biggest threat to him . Jishuka felt great joy at monopolizing Grid’s gaze .

---!!

Black arrows were fired soundlessly . Jishuka was the only one who knew exactly how many there were . Grid was facing her head on and wasn’t aware of the arrows flying from different trajectories . This wasn’t an uncommon situation, but Grid was feeling rushed . He didn’t dwell on impossible defenses or avoidance . Instead, he was like a bull . He was attracted by the charming red cloth called Jishuka .

“Yes, I’m coming!”

Jishuka’s excitement was getting out of control . The arrows struck Grid’s body . His philtrum, between his eyes, and in the middle of his forehead were hit . This was a terrible feast of skills . It was understandable why the people of Tzedakah used to compare Jishuka’s spirit to a wild beast and a hunter . She showed no concept of mercy toward her target . Logically, Grid should be shrinking back .

‘Pagma’s Swordsmanship . ’

Grid was currently under the protection of Moving Fortress and was completely resistant to physical attacks . The arrows inserted between his eyes and the blood flowing down didn’t disturb him .

‘Link . ’

Grid broke through the arrows, reached Jishuka, and unleashed dozens of energy blades . Jishuka moved in a half turn to widen her distance from Grid while drawing back her bowstring . She dodged a few energy blades and fought back .

[You have suffered 8,930 damage!]

[You have suffered 7,590 damage!]

[You have suffered 13,580 damage!]

Her aim was also perfect . Jishuka avoided the protective gear—such as armor and shoulder guards—that Grid was wearing and damaged him . She often hit his weak points, but she couldn’t evade his attacks forever . Jishuka’s agility was high as the first ranked archer, but she wasn’t faster than Grid . This was because the movements of the sword linked together faster than the firing of the arrow .


[The target has received 29,300 damage . ]

[The target has received 25,760 damage . ]

Jishuka allowed only two blows yet she lost more than half her health . She used her quiver and bow to stop a few energy blades, using the natural rebound to dodge a few more . The distance between Grid and Jishuka increased again while a trap was installed at Grid’s feet .

Then the trap activated and wrapped around Grid’s ankles . The trap lasted for five seconds, and anyone who tried to move from it might have their ankles torn . However, Grid ignored it and ran forward . Now Moving Fortress was activated . A trap couldn’t break the fortress at all .

“Too cool,” Jishuka’s voice thickened . She was becoming more and more immersed in the dual charm of Grid’s **** brain and his toughness . Thus, she was sincerely sorry . If only it wasn’t for the debt . . . If her relationship with Grid wasn’t that of creditor and debtor, she would be able to communicate this boiling emotion .

‘I will just seem like a snake if I communicate my feelings . ’ Jishuka smiled bitterly and drew her bow with all her power . Grid was someone who couldn’t be caught by traps . She couldn’t win . Even so, she would cause some damage before she died . This was her distinct pride—the last pride of a beast .

Jishuka concentrated all her resources and fired her last arrow at Grid who was chasing her . Her point of aim was different from before . The arrow was aimed at the center of the armor, not the seams of the armor . She fired the arrow from a close range, and the arrow that touched his armor caused Grid to get the chills .

Valhalla of Infinite Affection’s current durability was 30, and it would last for one minute . This was the penalty of Moving Fortress . Wouldn’t Valhalla of Infinite Affection turn into rags because of his arrow? It couldn’t last .

Grid decided that he should activate Freely Move, which had been left as a trump card . However, the arrow was fired right in front of his nose . Jishuka’s arrow pierced through Valhalla, and it shattered into thousands of fragments . It was a result caused by Jishuka’s ability to read, judge, and act the moment she fired the arrow .

Unfortunately, Grid wasn’t as fast-witted as her and didn’t notice in time . He wasn’t a chosen human being, a genius like Kraugel . The Enlightenment Sword, a weapon that was hard to determine if it was a spear or a sword, penetrated Jishuka’s waist . It occurred almost simultaneously with Grid’s armor .

[You have been struck with a serious blow!]

“I’m sorry, but I’m a proud woman,” Jishuka apologized as she collapsed like a broken doll into Grid’s arms . This wasn’t an apology for her actions . Although the armor might not be the real one, Jishuka apologized for destroying Khan’s work . It was why she had hesitated and hadn’t aimed for Valhalla the moment she saw its weakness .

Grid read her mind and stroked her red hair . “I apologize for everything . ”

“Huut . . . Cough!” She slowly turned grey in Grid’s arms and soon ascended as a pillar . It was a sign announcing Jishuka’s death .

Shortly after she left, the white giant managed to beat the vampire and rushed toward Grid again . “Griddddd!”

While Grid had been fighting Jishuka, the other biggest threat—Zibal—had been facing Tiramet .

‘Tiramet is already dead . ’

The magic machine was truly a monster . Was it possible to obtain the materials to make a magic machine from the production rewards? Grid thought this and opened the inventory . The items he took out were the Dragon Harpoon and hammer . Now that he’d lost Valhalla, he had no intention of fighting Zibal head on .

“Spear Shot . ” The giant harpoon, which had been created to raid the drake during the 2nd National Competition, was thrown like a javelin . Raiders paused as the harpoon struck its chest .

“You don’t intend to get out of there and fight?” Grid attached the chain of the harpoon to the ground using a peg and immediately disappeared . It was a spacious battlefield . The faces of the players were still shocked from the aftermath of the huge explosion .

Grid’s next target was Pope Damian .

‘Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle . ’

Rotating like a spinning top, Grid crossed the battlefield . The Enlightenment Sword in his hand let out a terrible roar . Damian used a healing skill to barely recover from the wounds he had sustained in the explosion and cast a shield . However, his shield failed, just like Grid’s Valhalla .

“Scream,” the other name for Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle emerged from the mouth of the Demon King . Damian’s shield couldn’t even withstand the first strike and shattered . “Ugh . . . !”

Damian summoned a large golden circle behind his back as a last-ditch attempt .

[You have died . ]

He was already dead .

“Griddddd!” Raiders was released from the **** of the Dragon Harpoon and started chasing Grid again . This time Grid didn’t avoid Raiders . The wind blew his ebony hair as he stood in place and stared at Raiders . Zibal’s legs were soft from where he was sitting on the boarding seat .

Behind the half-mask, Grid’s eyes weren’t strained at all . He was reminded that his explosion had destroyed Eat Spicy Jokbal’s fortress . It was as he had expected . The golden cannon accumulated a shell made of the Blue Dragon’s Breath and fired .

“Kuoock . . . !”

Then it happened just before Raiders reached the armorless Grid . Raiders’ body was hit by the cannon and tilted heavily . There was a magnetic field, and the surging currents shook Raiders’ movements, rendering it unable to move .

“Grid . . . !” Desperation filled Zibal’s face . He screamed because he couldn’t change the flow of the battlefield that was formed after he inadvertently distributed the wrong information .

Grid’s voice rang out, “You have shown a wonderful performance this year . ”

“ . . . ”

Zibal was a simple person . Two years ago, he had been badly defeated by Grid . The person who looked down on Zibal like a bug was now expressing appreciation for him . He didn’t know if he should laugh or cry as Raiders was recalled . Then he climbed onto the summoned pegasus and rushed toward Grid .

The other players followed behind Zibal . 80 surviving players descended on Grid .

The Demon King had lost his armor . The physical body that he had trained for many years was now just as injured as the bodies of the players . The players sensed that it was time to end this short yet long war . It was the same for Grid . He took a deep breath and quietly closed his eyes .

『 S-Surely, he isn’t giving up? 』

『 He has no choice . His resources are at their limits, and he lost his armor . It won’t be strange if he decides that he can’t endure anymore . 』

The commentators discussed the end of the Demon King, while the crowd and viewers cheered . Then hundreds of stars appeared in the sky . Underneath it were Demon King Grid and the players heading toward him . Then there was a bombardment . The 200 Magic Missiles Grid set up using the Alarm spell penetrated the players’ heads and backs, shattering the ground . The players screamed at the surprise attack .

‘Noe, Randy, Can you Become the King of the Dead?’

A complete copy of the Demon King, a tiger surrounded by black flames, a lich, and a death knight appeared . . .

『 Ah . . . Ahhh . . . 』

In a few minutes, only two people remained on the battlefield . One was badly injured and couldn’t breathe properly while the other person had no wounds . The person who opened his mouth first with a complicated expression was Sword Saint Kraugel .

“You have lost your immortality . ”

“Yes . Everyone was too strong . ”

“ . . . ”

This wasn’t a fair fight . Kraugel judged this and was about to take off his armor to stab himself in the heart .

It was the Demon King who stopped him . “Extremely honorable painting . ”

Grid returned to the image from the painting . The image of the Demon King blurred, and the figure of the most famous person in the world was revealed . It was the Overgeared King—the Hero King .

『 G . . . rid? 』

People who were still dubious over the identity of the Demon King were shocked . The ratings of the Demon King Subjugation ran wild . The 1st ranked real time search query for every portal site was replaced with Grid’s name .
