Overgeared - Chapter 212

Chapter 212
Chapter 212



The Eternal Kingdom and Gauss Kingdom didn’t have a good relationship . Over the past decades, there had been countless disputes and frequent bloodshed . The Eternal Kingdom used the guide of being a neutral kingdom to monopolize some of the Gauss Kingdom’s products .

But the Gauss Kingdom wasn’t able to induce conflict with the Eternal Kingdom . It was because the great magician Ashur was present at the border . Earl Ashur’s power was like a nuclear warhead in modern society, so it was enough to suppress any conflicts .

But Piaro was more than that .

“W-Who are you?”

In the beginning, Earl Ashur had no interest in the beggar . No, he hadn’t even noticed . He only paid attention to Grid . Now the beggar was emitting an energy that could reverse the situation . At this moment, Earl Ashur’s five senses were only concentrated on the beggar . His original purpose of taking care of Grid disappeared .

‘Is this fear I’m feeling?’ Goosebumps covered his entire body . ‘There was a monster like this hiding in the kingdom?’

Earl Ashur gulped as Piaro asked for a duel .

“I want to experience the skills of one of the continent’s 10 great magicians . ”

“I refuse . I have no reason to fight you, nor do I want to fight . ”

Earl Ashur was adamant . But Piaro just pulled out his sword .

He was still obsessed with revenge, but he was also thirsty to fight against the strong . He was filled with a desire to become a sword saint . In particular, he was obsessed with Earl Ashur, because he had no experience fighting great magicians .

“You have no choice . ”

‘Crazy bastard!’

This was his only chance to get revenge on Grid, who stole Pagma’s Rare Book, as well as his son’s crush . Once Grid arrived at Reidan and solidified his position as a duke, Earl Ashur would no longer be able to act against him . Later, he would be forced to bow before Duke Grid .

But at this critical junction, someone interfered . Earl Ashur’s anger soared .

“Who the hell are you?”

Earl Ashur knew about the group with the strange name of Overgeared who were working with Grid . But there was no information about this beggar being part of Overgeared .

Where did this guy suddenly pop out from?

“Why are you with Grid? Are you his protector?”

“Protector? You’re mistaken . I don’t have anything to do with Duke Grid . This is my personal interest . ”

In the first place, did Grid need his protection? It was clear that this person called Ashur didn’t know much about Grid .

“Anyway, you aren’t Duke Grid’s opponent . It is better for you to compete against me . Right now, I am in an incomplete condition . ”

“This person!”

Earl Ashur sounded resentful towards Piaro, but his head was calm .

‘I must be calm . I shouldn’t turn him into my enemy . ’



The rumors might be exaggerated, but Grid’s strength that he showed in Reinhardt wasn’t negligible . Grid was praised as the kingdom’s hero, so Earl Ashur had to fight seriously . After fighting with a much stronger opponent, could he take care of Grid?

‘It is impossible . ’

The wisest choice was to let Grid go . But .

‘I can’t miss the chance for revenge that will never come again . ’ Earl Ashur made a decision . ‘Create a space where Grid and I can fight . ’

In other words, create a three dimensional space . Space magic was different from other magic, so the consumption of magic power was very extreme . Even Earl Ashur had to consume half of his magic power to create a space ward . But he was willing to do this to handle Grid .

“Buy me some time . ”

An earl was only supposed to have five knights, but Earl Ashur had dozens of knights as a commander of a fortified city . He not only had great individual power, but his forces surpassed that of his title .

The elite knights got into formation at once . In that gap, Earl Ashur chanted a spell .

“Shake hands . ”

Elite knights? They were nothing compared to the knights of the Saharan Empire, the strongest nation on the continent . Furthermore, Piaro was the captain of the Red Knights .

“It’s a waste of manpower . ”

Piaro’s missing sword shot straight ahead . A knight defended by raising his shield, but Piaro predicted this .

“Supreme Swordsmanship 3rd style . ”

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

It was comparable with the skill of a martial artist . Piaro’s sword collided with the shield . The owner of the shield became a rag, while the other knights standing behind him spurted blood . It was the moment when the knights that Earl Ashur was proud of were knocked down by a single blow .

“Heok?”

“Defense is useless?”

The knights freaked out as it felt like they were hit by a tornado . Piaro leapt lightly . He didn’t give the knights time to reform their formation .

“Kuaaaaak!”

He really was like a god . Piaro defied the laws of gravity as he stood in the air and wielded his sword . The vulnerable knights were unable to respond as the sword techniques fell from the sky . They couldn’t use the advantage of numbers to threaten Piaro, so they could only defend .

However, Piaro’s sword accelerated so quickly that it was difficult to chase with the eyes, making it virtually impossible to defend .

“Ugh!”

Jacks, the leader of the knights, swung his halberd and tried to counterattack in the gap when his men were being attacked . But it was difficult to hit, because Piaro rotated his body in the air at a dizzying speed .

“This monster!”

It was unbelievable . He completely avoided the large and wide attack of the halberd in the air? Was this old man a rumored assassin? Jacks continuously wielded his halberd . The opponent avoided it until the end . Then there was an unforgettable experience .

“What?”



The halberd started to be sucked into the rotating Piaro, as if it was attracted by a magnet . Jacks tried to withstand it with all his strength, but it was useless . He let go of the halberd .

Jjejejeok!

The halberd lost its master and shattered in the air .

“Keok . ”

The falling fragments of the halberd aimed precisely at the knights on the ground . They were wearing expensive armor, but whether it was coincidence of Piaro’s intentions, the fragments only aimed at the gaps on the armor . The armor was useless and the knights instantly collapsed .

“M-Monster…!”

Jacks couldn’t close his mouth . Earl Ashur was even more surprised .

‘They couldn’t last?’

One minute . That was the amount of time required to generate the ward . The 23 knights couldn’t withstand that short amount of time .

Cheok .

At last, Piaro landed on the ground and stepped forward, ignoring Jacks . He neared Earl Ashur .

“In the end, we have to fight?” Earl Ashur screamed at Piaro . “That’s right! Okay! Let’s try it once!”

It seemed he couldn’t avoid the fight . Earl Ashur pulled out a staff that was 50 cm in length . Most magicians used orbs due to the versatility of the orb that could store magic . However, Earl Ashur was fast in magic casting, so he used a staff that amplified magic .

“Haste!”

One of the most important elements in a magic battle was speed . The opponent must hit before the magician finished casting a spell, and the magician must finish casting a spell before allowing an attack . Earl Ashur quickly increased his movement speed with Haste and widened the distance with Piaro .

He already finished casting the next spell .

“Orion’s Illusion!”

It was an illusion technique . Earl Ashur created five clones of himself and once again opened up the distance while Piaro was searching for the real body . Next was debuff magic .

“Soul Weakness!”

Piaro’s body became as sticky as oil and unpleasant magic power suppressed him .

“Disgusting . ”

Piaro’s body lost its swiftness, but he bent like a bow and shot forward like a thunderbolt . He maximized his body’s ability to increase speed, offsetting the effect of the debuff .

‘Did he resist? My magic? No, it’s impossible . ’

Earl Ashur’s eyes widened as he faced Piaro . But he tried to remain calm and finished casting the magic spell .

“Ice Tornado!”

It was a mixture of two A-grade spells with different attributes, and exerted more power than an A-grade spell . It was still significantly less powerful than S-grade magic, so why did he use it?

Even a great magician couldn’t cast S-grade spells in an instant . Using S-grade magic without precautionary measures against a person like Piaro was close to suicide .

Jjejejejeok!

Piaro’s body froze as he approached Earl Ashur . Earl Ashur’s magic power exceeded common sense, so there was no one who wouldn’t be frozen .

‘This guy won’t die like this . ’

Earl Ashur believed that Piaro would recover within five seconds and started to chant a S-grade spell in that gap . However, he underestimated Piaro .

Chaaeng!

“…!”

Earl Ashur was shocked . An intangible energy was felt from the frost and it shattered before even a few words could be chanted?

“You’ve already recovered?”

It was too fast to use S-grade magic . He had to quickly accumulate more damage using A-grade spells . He belatedly responded to Piaro’s sword that was flying .

“Shield!”

It was the manifestation of basic defensive magic that even beginners could use .

“Great magic power . ”

Piaro admired Ashur, who absorbed most of the damage with his shield . However, he continued to wield his sword . Earl Ashur stood firm . He tried to avoid as much damage as possible by relying on the previously activated Haste, while minimizing the actual damage using Shield .

Despite the continuous wounds he kept receiving, he used Shield while chanting S-grade magic in his head . Earl Ashur’s concentration was truly worthy of respect .

“Yes!”

Piaro was swinging his sword when he suddenly felt alarmed . He detected a strong magic power and used the Supreme Swordsmanship 5th style, a defense technique .

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

Something intangible shot out of Earl Ashur the moment the spell was completed .

“Fluid Escape . ”

Fluid Escape was a spell that separated the soul and body of the caster for three seconds . The caster could control the soul that emerged from the body, while the body became immune to all damage .

Jeeeong!

Earl Ashur’s body wasn’t damaged at all despite being hit .

‘This is the power of Fluid Escape!’

Earl Ashur’s soul passed through Piaro’s body and dealt damage in proportion to his magic power .

“Kuk!”

Blood poured from Piaro .

“I can’t tangle with this monster forever . ”

Earl Ashur’s soul headed towards Grid, who was watching the battle with folded arms . He didn’t give up on his original goal of aiming for Grid .

“Die!”

Kwaaaang!

Earl Ashur’s soul went through the grid .



[You have suffered 40,985 damage . ]

[You have received catastrophic damage all at once, and your spirit can’t endure it . ]

[You have resisted . ]



Grid was unprepared for the damage and suffered . The soul’s movement speed was so remarkable that the pavranium responded late . It was virtually impossible for a human to perceive it . Ashur’s soul returned to his body .

“You deceived me!”

Piaro suffered great damage to his pride and wielded his sword, but there was a powerful shockwave as soon as the soul returned to the body . Piaro knew this fact, but he was confident that he could neutralize it with his blade .

However, Earl Ashur’s magic power couldn’t be pierced by the sword .

Peeng!

“This…!”

Piaro was pushed back by the shockwave . While he was upset, Earl Ashur aimed at Grid .

“This is the end!”

Finally, his grudge would be repaid . Earl Ashur was determined to kill Grid while Grid was suffering from great damage and not in the right mindset . But what was this? Grid moved smoothly and Earl Ashur’s vision was covered with blue-white light .

“Kuaaaaak!”

Earl Ashur screamed at the unexpected attack . He suffered cumulative damage when reciting the S-grade magic, so he easily fell down .

Grid pointed Failure at him and said, “Beg me, Duke Grid, for your life . ”

“W-What…!”

Grid’s sword damage was as powerful as Piaro’s . No, maybe even more than that . Earl Ashur thought it was ridiculous .
