Overgeared - Chapter 417

Chapter 417

Grid .

He was a legendary class, and the most famous one among the informal rankers .  He was behind so many topics that even people indifferent to Satisfy knew Grid's name .

But evaluations were split in two .  He was either an inexperienced person lucky to obtain a legendary class, or he had the ability itself to acquire a legendary class . And so on .  A person who received both praise and criticism like Grid was rare .

However, those who praised Grid and those who criticized him came to a common consensus .  Grid was strong .

But Tarma thought differently .

'I'm stronger than a blacksmith . '

In fact, Tarma had seen Grid's battle video several times . Grid was lacking a lot when seen from the viewpoint of a combat specialist .  His combat skills were all aggressive and lacked any defense, but he had no control skills to cover for that lack of defense .

'Well, he might seem good when looking at it from the level of the public . '

Tarma ridiculed and made a shooing motion with his hand .

"Get lost, small fry . I don't have time to deal with you . "

Before the National Competition started, the world predicted that Grid wouldn't play a big role, and it was the same for Tarma's client .  Tarma's client didn't put a bounty on Grid's head .  In other words, Tarma didn't target Grid . It was a waste of energy to kill him .  He intended on sending Grid away, but his tone was the problem .

Get lost, small fry? Grid didn't like Tarma's attitude .

"What did you call me? Get lost?"

"What? What are you saying?"

Tarma didn't understand Grid's slang .  Then Grid raised his middle finger .

"Eat this . "

Grid was more welcoming towards the people around him, but his innate personality was still far from being gentle .  The worst of his nature emerged when it came to people like Tarma .

"You bastard . . . "

Tarma's face distorted like he was a demon .  The second reason for Grid's grudge was that Tarma was at the point where Grid expected Kraugel to be .  Due to that, Grid missed the timing for a perfect surprise attack .

"This can't be forgiven . . . "

Tarma growled out .

"Small fry, I will give you a chance to die under my glorious hands . "

The world knew Faker as the strongest assassin .  Faker was responsible for wiping out one of the seven guilds, the Ice Flower Guild .  But those who knew Tarma evaluated Tarma as higher than Faker .

The unofficial ranker, Assassin Tarma .  The activities he showed in the world of darkness were greater than Faker's achievements .

『 Tarma? Who's that? 』

『 Um, let's see . . . A third advancement assassin belonging to Greece . His class is Shadow Master . . . He's an unofficial ranker because his level isn't disclosed . 』

There were currently hundreds of cameras installed on Tira Island, capturing the movements of the participants in real time .  However, the videos that the broadcasting stations could show were limited, so the users who weren't famous weren't exposed to the viewers . One of them was Tarma .

But at this moment .  Grid destroyed the allied teams and came across Tarma, making Tarma subject to the attention of the world .

-Tarma? He has a third advancement class, which means he's at a minimum, the same level as the 80th ranker .

-There seems to be little exposure about him . He's probably a person who only eats and hunts .

Most viewers didn't know Tarma . It was the same for the international commentators .  But those who knew the world of Satisfy more deeply were well aware of Tarma .

『 Tarma is a well known assassin . 』

『 There is a rumor that Tarma has assassinated over 100 rankers . Even the 2nd ranked Zibal was assassinated by Tarma . 』

『 Have you heard about that dark gamer group called Blood Carnival? Tarma is one of the monsters of that infamous group . 』

『 There's a saying that the true god of death is Tarma, not Faker . 』

The Internet was shocked by the comments from the experts .  The real time search terms on Internet portal sites were dominated by Tarma and Blood Carnival .

-Wow . . . This is the first time I've heard of Blood Carnival, but their power is huge .

-An unbelievably wicked group . . . Are they the Triads of Satisfy?

-13 kingdoms have bounties on the Blood Carnival, but their base can't be found .

-It seems like Tarma isn't a simple assassin;; Did Grid pick the wrong opponent? Isn't it dangerous?

-Yiing

Dozens of drones scattered through the forest started gathering around Grid and Tarma .  It was proof that the world was paying attention to both people .

"Hah, this is really . . . "

Tarma scratched his head as he saw all the cameras .  He was only in the National Competition to assassinate Kraugel, so he wanted to avoid people's attention to act more freely .  However, this was ruined due to Grid .

"After I kill you, all the participating countries will be alert towards me . I'm being bothered by this little chick . "

Suuk .

Tarma complained while pulling out the logo of the Lion Group .  The Lion Group .  One of the world's top 10 companies, they were the ones who sponsored Tarma .

"Since so much attention is being paid to a small fry, I might as well get money from it . "

Tarma attached the logo of the Lion Group to his chest .  Then he started to emit a dark aura as he pulled out two yellow daggers .  It was a PK only weapon that he acquired from quests in Gaya, the sandy kingdom on the East continent that most users hadn't even seen yet .

"This is the strongest weapon that makes those on the West Continent look stupid . Overgeared? Pffft! That's a word that describes me!"

Tarma shouted with confidence and shadows emerged from everywhere .  The ground, bushes, trees, rocks, etc .  Tarma's shadow spread all over the place and deceived the viewers .

"The shadows are moving!"

Tarma disappeared into a shadow .  It was perfect .  It was at a level that could be called the strongest hiding technique, so the comments, experts and viewers around the world admired it .

But Grid was different .  In the past, Grid had experienced the shadow assassin called Kasim .  He was able to grasp Tarma's identity the moment that Tarma's shadow started wriggling . Based on this, he used Magic Detection (Enhanced) Lv . 2 in advance .

Magic Detection Lv . 2 had a long casting time and couldn't accurately detect the position of an assassin moving in real time . However, Grid's Magic Detection was one developed by the legendary great magician, Braham .  It transcended common sense .  

Furthermore, Grid had his high insight and the Slaughterer's Eye Patch .  All the conditions were in place to make it a perfect disaster for Tarma .

"What?"

Tarma emerged from the shadow of the tree next to Grid .  He stared at Grid, intent on killing Grid before he was detected .  But Grid's Greatsword was aiming towards the point where he appeared .

"Linked Kill . "

Puok!

Puk! Puk! Puk .

" . . . !"

An assassin's weaknesses were their low health and defense .  They were proud of their excellent stealth and lethality, but their bodies were the weakest of all damage dealers .  How could an assassin survive Linked Kill, which was superior to Linked Kill Wave when it came to just attack power? It was only fortunate if they could avoid it .

Tarma couldn't even scream as he turned to grey .

『 Wow . 』

The commentators and experts took a deep breath .  The 1st ranked real time topic on search portals was '3 seconds . ' After logging out Hurent in 5 seconds and Bondre in 4 seconds in the last National Competition, now Grid had set a new record .  It was very cliche, but the world was once again astonished .

From the first day of the National Competition, Grid was overturning the world several times .

***

'A very strong guy . '

Grid realized the moment he read where Tarma would emerge and used Linked Kill .  Tarma didn't give up and fought back, cutting Grid's wrist .

'I received 3,000 damage . . . '

Grid resisted it, but the attack also caused poisoning and paralysis .  The power was tremendous . If he couldn't kill Tarma with one blow and if Linked Kill had only done three strikes, Grid thought it would have been dangerous .

That's right .

Grid had eyes that could measure an opponent's ability just by exchanging one blow .  It was something he developed after numerous battles with enemies stronger than him .  Now Grid was becoming a real powerhouse .

『 The US team has started catching up with the South Korean team! 』

『 Currently, there are only three survivors in the Korean team . It's inevitable that their speed will slow down compared to other teams . Isn't it possible for them to lose their first place to the United States? 』

"This . . . "

The words of the commentators alarmed Grid .  After confirming the scoreboard, Grid used Fly and flew in the direction where targets were concentrated, unleashing Wave .  Dozens of targets exploded .

However, there was a limit to his mana .  Grid had the God Hands continue to handle the targets and dropped to the ground after his mana was depleted .  The Korean viewers who saw it were frustrated .  The targets were difficult to deal with from the ground and South Korea only had one ranged damage dealer, Yura, so the US team was able to catch up .  Maybe Russia and Canada would also catch up .  

But who was Grid? He was a legendary blacksmith that could use all weapons . He had acquired the Weapons Mastery skill in the Behen Archipelago .  The commentators and viewers were shocked as they saw him take out a bow .

『 Bow? Why is he bringing out a bow? 』

『 Don't tell me . . . Surely a blacksmith isn't trying to shoot a bow . . . 』

Pagma was a legendary blacksmith and great swordsman .  Everyone could understand why Pagma's Descendant would use a sword, but they never imagined that he could shoot a bow .
