Overgeared Chapter 978:

Just like how some pets such as elementals didn’t have the concept of growth, Iyarugt didn’t have the growth concept of ‘level . ’ This didn’t mean he was restricted or had limitations though . Rather, it meant that Iyarugt could grow through the process of restoring himself .

[* By winning in a battle against the strong, he can regain a feeling of life . The more he wins, the more he will regain your skills . (5/10)]

This was stated in Iyarugt’s status window . Every time he raided a named boss monster, he could break his limits and restore his strength . The power of Iyarugt’s current Sublime Sword was four times more powerful than Peak Sword’s Annihilate and was comparable to Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle .

“Kuek . . . !” Apollo blocked the sword with a shield and couldn’t help groaning from the shock . His left arm that was holding the shield spun through the air .

“Captain!” The knights’ horrified cries rang out . A demonkin had suddenly appeared, and one of the knights’ captain’s arms was cut off . Apollo used the first aid skill Hit a Pressure Point available for a fourth advancement knight and asked in a resentful voice, “I don’t understand . . . The evil eyes are a species banished from **** . Why are you helping the demonkin?”

However, Iyarugt wasn’t a conversationalist . He was only interested in pursuing fighting skills . Iyraugt had no interest in other people’s positions, nor was he kind enough to explain his reasons .

“What a load of **** . ”

“ . . . ”

The moment the atmosphere became tense from Iyarugt’s attitude, a voice rang out .

“Shouldn’t you look at your own actions before blaming others?” It was Peak Sword who shouted from behind Iyarugt . “You are the invaders! Do you deserve to blame other people when you have invaded this territory, harmed the people and took away their peace? You are barbarians!”

“ . . . I omitted the introductions, so there was a misunderstanding . We are the Blue Flame Knights of the Gauss royal family . This is our territory, and we have the right and duty to defend ourselves . It is the evil eyes who are the invaders, not us . ”

“G-Gauss Kingdom? Keuk! Still, the evil eyes haven’t hurt your people!”

“How do you know? Can you guarantee that they haven’t harmed anyone? They are demonkin . They must be ferocious to have been banished from **** . ”

“Uh . . . !”

“No . . . Before discussing race, it is a matter of basic national security . . . Think about it from our perspective . If you find out that a certain armed group is living underneath your Overgeared Kingdom . . . would you be able to overlook it?”

“ . . . !” Peak Sword became more and more dumbfounded . It was because he couldn’t refute any of Apollo’s reasonable words . As an easy example, imagine if the Chinese army were living underneath South Korean territory . It was something that could never be tolerated for Koreans .

“I-I see . . . I fully understand your position . Technically, you guys are the victims . . . ” Peak Sword admitted it honestly . However—


“Ah, I don’t know! In any case, the Gauss Kingdom is our enemy! I’ll get rid of everyone here!”

It was enough to ignore the unfavorable truth . Peak Sword refused any further conversation . He pulled out a dark sword—a long sword that Grid had made out of Belial’s Horn . Just based on the performance alone, it was a weapon that was slightly more powerful than Iyarugt .

“Let’s go, Iyarugt! Exterminate them!”

The new Iyarugt was launched like a flash of light while Peak Sword stood in place and bent over .

“Hell Moon Cut . ”

Simultaneously, Iyarugt had cut through the lead knights and was surrounded by the enemies .

“Annihilate . ”

Peak Sword’s weapon swept through the enemies around Iyarugt . It was a ridiculously aggressive offensive . Apollo realized the opponents weren’t willing to talk and raised a blue sword energy from the tip of his sword . It was a flame-like sword .

“My fire will protect my country!”

It was a powerful wave of energy! Peak Sword was pushed back during the gap created by using Draw Sword, and Vantner ran to his side to set up a shield . After that, Apollo’s sword energy struck Vantner’s shield . Vantner murmured to himself, ‘It is a whole different level . . . !’

As expected, a fourth advancement opponent was too much at this point in time .

A third advancement class could overwhelm a second advancement class . Then what about a fourth advancement?

It was difficult to deal with Apollo’s damage, despite his stats falling significantly because of his severed arm .

While suffering an internal injury and coughing up blood, Peak Sword shouted, “Hey! Iyarugt! Get rid of that guy quickly!”

“You aren’t my master so you should shut up . ”

The ferocious Iyarugt moved close to Apollo . He also knew that Peak Sword would be in danger if he didn’t get rid of Apollo .

The swordsmanship of a demonkin was different from that of human swordsmen .

The dazzling sword strikes that depended on the innate power and vitality of a demonkin suppressed Apollo fiercely .

Apollo was aware that Iyarugt exposed one or two gaps, but he didn’t take advantage of them .

They were a trap .

Apollo had a hunch that he could suffer more damage if he was lured in by these gaps . It would’ve been easy to fight back and defend if only he hadn’t lost his arm . The biggest problem was that he failed to gauge the power of the first attack .

“Good! Well done!”

“Push him, Iyarugt!”

Peak Sword and Vantner didn’t bother getting involved in the fight . It was because they weren’t in a perfect state and would just be a hindrance . Now there were less than 10 Blue Flame Knights left, and they vented their anger with an energetic shout . “These guys!”

While they were fighting for their lives, these two people were hiding behind the crazy demonkin and cheering .

“We’ll deal with you!” The blue flaming sword energy of the knights rose in unison . They had trained together for many years, and their cooperation was close to art .

“Aack!” Peak Sword screamed as two swords pierced his left side while he was busy blocking . Another two attacked from the right, and Peak Sword would be in danger of being killed if he didn’t handle it right . Peak Sword forgot about his pride and rolled his body . He thought about Grid as he barely managed to avoid the crisis .

It was hard to deal with four players at once . Then what about Grid who won against 400 players? It was really amazing . He was a truly great guy .

‘Cool! Too good!’ Peak Sword could only be described as crazy as he praised Grid while on the verge of dying, “God Grid is the beeeeest!”

‘He is sick again . ’ Vantner clicked his tongue while hiding behind a sword . His shield’s durability was low and was on the verge of being destroyed . “ . . . !?”

‘They are royal knights!’

The Blue Flame Knights were truly powerhouses . Their level of swordsmanship was so high that it was difficult to find a gap of opportunity, and their attack power was also high . Eventually, the four blue flaming swords shattered Vantner’s tattered shield .

“Eek! Hey! I’m dead!” Vantner cried out as he was stabbed in the stomach, but Peak Sword couldn’t afford to help him . Peak Sword was in the exact same situation was Vantner . He had already been stabbed in the stomach several times .

“Oh, shit! You are a tanker and should be protecting me! You should go before me!”

“ . . . ”

The two of them were part of the 10 meritorious retainers of the Overgeared Kingdom . The Overgeared soldiers watched the legends of the Overgeared Kingdom struggle . They had been expecting a fierce and wonderful fight, but the situation was a mess .

“We will fight!”

“Yes! Go!”

The soldiers, who had been staring blankly for a while, raised their weapons . They hadn’t participated because Vantner had been urging them to stay away, but now they had hit a limit . The soldiers were prepared to die . They decided to sacrifice their lives to save Peak Sword and Vantner .

“Waaaaahhhhh!”

“Ugh . . . Run away . . . ”

Peak Sword and Vantner didn’t welcome the soldiers joining the fight . They might lose experience and items if they died, but they could resurrect again . On the other hand, the soldiers only had one life . Piaro, Asmophel, Jude, and the elite soldiers they worked hard to train . . . The two people didn’t want the soldiers’ to die after they had fought together for more than a month .

Peak Sword escaped the immediate crisis due to the soldiers joining and shouted while coughing up blood, “Shit . . . ! Iyarugt! Protect the soldiers!”

Unfortunately, Iyarugt wasn’t in a position to respond to his call . Apollo was also a strong representative of his country . He was furious, and Iyarugt couldn’t shake him off easily . Vantner pushed the knights with his shoulders and saved his allies . Then he glared at the tightly closed gates .

“Shit! Those evil eyes to the end . . . !”

If there was such turmoil, they should open the gates and help . However, the evil eyes didn’t do anything .

‘These nasty bastards, who are we fighting for?’

The people they were sacrificing their lives for were ignoring them . Thus, Peak Sword and Vantner felt that all their efforts were in vain . It was called sage time in jargon . Their frustration was decreasing their morale . At this moment, a flower bloomed in the middle of the battlefield . The red flower was blooming from the heart of a Blue Flame Knight .

“ . . . ?”

Was it a hallucination? The knight was bewildered as he discovered the red flower at his heart . Blood started pouring from his nose .

“ . . . !” He couldn’t even scream as his body fell . The flower that blossomed at his heart was already dying as it scattered petals everywhere . The scattered petals became blood and soaked the ground . That’s right . The red flower that had fallen from the heart of the collapsed knight wasn’t a flower but blood pouring from the heart .

“ . . . What?!”

Who killed the knight without a trace? Who showed up and helped? Both the Blue Flame Knights and the Overgeared soldiers were incredibly astonished .

“ . . . Phew, I survived . ”

Peak Sword and Vantner smiled with relief . They were aware of the identity of the person who had entered the battlefield . He was the shadow that protected the Overgeared Kingdom—the Death God Faker . Another Blue Flame Knight lost his life and collapsed .

‘Where the **** is he?’

The knights became tense as two of their colleagues died . They focused and desperately looked around . Nevertheless, it was useless . Faker invoked Lantier’s technique and was in an extremely secretive and mobile state .

Duguen . Duguen . Duguen . . .

It was a battlefield where only the heartbeats of the frightened knights were heard . There was complete silence . All the Blue Flame Knights died without knowing who killed them .

“ . . . In any case, his form looks good . ”

“He looks too cool in some ways . I’m going to spew . ”

Peak and Vantner sat down and turned their gazes towardsIyarugt .

Iyarugt and Apollo were moving all over the battlefield . They had already moved away from the gate and crossed the city as they exchanged blows . Then a black sword fell between them . It was Faker . Apollo, who was maintaining a breathtaking balance, completely missed the opportunity to reverse the situation thanks to the sudden increase in enemies .

The result was a great victory . The guards, including Peak Sword and Vantner, were able to defeat the Blue Flame Knights with less damage than expected .

After a while, Grid arrived at the scene . He was relieved when he saw Peak Sword and Vantner, as well as the troops they led .

“You must be dying from the hard work . Leave the rest to us and go rest . ”

“Yes, rest . Everyone has gone through a lot of trouble . ”

“Hehe . . . Log out . ”

“Wahhhh! King Grid!”

The soldiers cheered . Grid who led the large army was their savior .

“I won’t forget your hard work . ”

The appearances of the survivors weren’t great . Grid knew how hard they had been struggling and remembered their faces . He would give them big rewards in the future .

“Your Majesty . ” Then Sticks approached Grid with a bad expression . “A mighty magic power can be felt from the castle . ”

“From the castle?”

Grid turned his gaze toward the gates . The gates were firmly closed . There were no signs of outsiders having broken in .

“Are you referring to the magic power of the evil eyes king?”

“Of course, I can also feel the magic power of the evil eyes king . However, this is as powerful as the evil eyes king . . . No, it is several times more powerful than the other magic power . ”

Sage Sticks—the person who stayed calm when encountering Magician King Goldhit now had a shaky voice . “It is clear that someone has breached the castle . ”

That someone was naturally . . .

“It is someone more powerful than the evil eyes king . ”

“ . . . Don’t tell me!” Grid immediately opened the gates and ran into the castle . Then he saw it . There were blood stains in the corridor leading to the king’s great hall . This was the place where the evil eyes ministers resided . It wasn’t difficult to infer as to the owner of the blood marks .

“Shit!”

The evil eyes king was in danger! Grid was filled with nervousness as he ran . He entered the great hall of the evil eyes king and received a message .

[You have encountered a strong person who has transcended the times . ]

The young man holding the evil eyes king caught Grid’s attention . He was a slender beauty who looked tired .

“You are the one who advances your destiny . ”

His identity was Zikfrector . He was famous as the grandmaster instead of his real name .

“Hmm, for the sake of convenience, I will kill you, Overgeared King . ”

[An unknown survival instinct has been activated! Your fighting energy is charged to the maximum!]

“Let go of that hand!” Grid combined the Blade Aiming at the Gods and the Enlightenment Sword before using 100,000 Army Massacre Sword . Several dozen red energy blades struck the grandmaster . However, the grandmaster used the evil eyes king in his hand as a shield and was perfectly fine .

“The concept of death doesn’t work with you, but this doesn’t mean you won’t receive any damage . You are going to die,” the grandmaster uttered blankly before pulling out a white mirror and untying the band covering both eyes of the evil eyes king .

Then it happened at this moment .

“Mass Teleport!”

Grid instantly moved to the side of the evil eyes king thanks to Stick’s spell and placed the glasses on the king . They were an easily transferable accessory—the Ether Glasses made by Elizabeth .

“ . . . ?” The fatigue on the grandmaster’s face deepened .
