Overgeared - Chapter 724

Chapter 724

Chapter 724

Who came to mind when thinking about assassins? From a 3 year old child to an 80 year old person, most people would think about the shadow protecting the Overgeared Kingdom .  The killing god, Faker . Despite having a normal class, he showed the strongest PK skills and his stage was increasing every day . It was natural to think of him first among assassins .

However, the story changed when it became ‘assassin who plays in the National Competition . ’ Since Faker had never made public appearances other than the Overgeared Kingdom’s founding ceremony, people naturally thought of Tarma .

Assassin Tarma from the dark gamer group, Blood Carnival .

At the time of the 2nd National Competition, he entered for money and showed off his skills . At least, until he met Grid .

‘I will avenge my loss in the National Competition . ’

Since Blood Carnival was destroyed by Grid, Tarma had hid in a sandy kingdom of the East Continent .  Over the past few months, he performed all types of quests, learned to deal with sand and wind, and realized how much stronger he was .  He was able to easily hunt the creatures that he couldn’t three months ago, so it was impossible for him to not realize . Grid, who felt so strong every time he looked back, now seemed inferior .

‘If I have this power, even Grid . . . !’

The fox’s sword was caught in Tarma’s hand and it instantly turned to sand .  It was the power of Erosion, a racial special skill that Tarma had obtained .  It was the ability to decompose’ objects classified as ‘things . ’ Items that monsters or players were armed with were classified as ‘things . ’ It was an ability that was the perfect counter for Grid’s items .

‘The duration of Erosion is 5 seconds . ’

After destroying the monsters in the canyon, Tarma closed his eyes and concentrated .  It was the beginning of the simulation .  He imagined a battle based on the past Grid who had grown stronger . The result?

‘Victory!’

Tarma saw it . Grid’s appearance after all the new items he was proud of became eroded!

“Okay . . . ”

A sly smile crossed Tarma’s sharp face . He was convinced that he could pay back the grudge from the National Competition and raise his reputation to a higher level than before .

‘Then I should find a sponsor . ’

Who would benefit the most if Grid was damaged? As he pondered this, Tarma was reminded of the Belto Kingdom war .

‘Wasn’t Agnus hostile to Grid?’

He was the master of Immortal who proclaimed to be the king of the living and the dead, but he retreated before Grid and Ares . Agnus would definitely perceive Grid as a big barrier .

‘If I make it so Grid wins only one gold medal in the National Competition, it will be a temptation that he can’t resist . ’

Like the previous National Competition, the S . A . Group promised special rewards to the medalists . Making Grid unable to obtain medals would be a big loss and it would be a tremendous boon from the perspective of Grid’s enemies .  Tarma was convinced of this and contacted Agnus . Then he realized why Agnus was called crazy .

“You want money to kill Grid? I don’t understand what this mad dog is saying . Huh~~?”

“Why don’t you understand me? Don’t you know what a huge profit it will be for you if Grid can’t win a medal?”

“Kikikik? Grid is my target . Do you think you can beat him?”

"No, what does beating Grid have to do with him being your target?”

"I will kill those who touch my prey . ”

“ . . . ??”

Was he crazy? The conversation kept going wrong and didn’t make sense . It was like talking to an alien . Tarma clicked his tongue .

‘Is he just acting because he doesn’t want to pay me? He’s this type of person . ’

. . . . No, it was better to assume that he was surprisingly clever than a miser .  

‘He knows that I will defeat Grid, even if he doesn’t accept my request . ’ 

The fact that Tarma had a grudge against Grid was something that most people in the world could guess . Agnus was also the same . Tarma guessed this and nodded .

“Then I will search for other clients . ”

Sururuk .

Tarma escaped into the darkness . Agnus stared at the spot where he disappeared and asked Veradin .

“Who is he?”

“Haha, you don’t remember small fries? I don’t know if you should be treating him as a small fry . . . ”

Veradin smiled pleasantly . His eyes were filled with anticipation .

‘Tarma has already fought against Grid several times . He must have a sure basis for being so confident about hunting Grid . ’

Wouldn’t Tarma unexpectedly play a big role?

‘I’m especially looking forward to this year’s National Competition . It’s unfortunate that Agnus can’t participate . ’

Agnus had already appeared to the world since the battle in the Belto Kingdom . But he still wasn’t in a position to attend the National Competition . He was unable to control himself, so it was unknown what he would do in an event with rules .  

*** 

The sky would never fall . Hao was confident of this as he followed Kraugel .  

"Congratulations on reaching level 260 . ”

He was full of admiration and dismay .  Kraugel’s overwhelming levelling ability was already beyond common sense .  It was hunting that didn’t allow any wasted movements or time . He demonstrated optimum efficiency in any hunting ground and overwhelmed the monsters with force .

Kraugel’s levelling ability was so perfect that it couldn’t be compared . Hao’s levelling speed also increased by 1 . 4 times as he watched Kraugel from the side .  However, Kraugel felt that he was lacking .

“In the last fortnight, Grid had gained close to 10 levels . I’m lacking compared to him . ”

Alexander denied it .

"Wasn’t he able to grow quickly thanks to the clear reward of the Behen Archipelago? He also seems to be focusing on named raids after that . ”

Yes, Grid’s current levelling speed couldn’t be explained unless it was a named grade boss raid .  In addition, the named boss raid target wasn’t always present . Named grade bosses weren’t so easy to find . Kraugel appreciated this part about Grid .

“It’s great to have an environment where we can concentrate on named boss raids . How many people in the world can monopolize hunting grounds where named bosses appear?”

Of course, Kraugel also monopolized many named bosses . Kraugel hunted named bosses that popped up in places that ordinary people couldn’t imagine .

The problem was that Kraugel had trouble finding hunting grounds where a large number of monsters and bosses appeared at the same time . In other words, he wasn’t able to secure a hunting ground like the vampire’s city . Most of the named bosses that Kraugel secured were in weed-infested places .

‘This is why I might not catch up . ’

Kraugel smiled as he thought this .  The feeling of impatience stimulated him positively . He had always been at the forefront and now he was following someone else . He found it fresh and fun . A heavenly gamer .

‘I would like to achieve level 300 before the National Competition . . . But at my current speed, I will be level 272 in two months . '

Did he read Kraugel’s grieving expression?

Hao asked carefully .

"Are you going to participate in PvP?”

Grid and Kraugel’s had a close to 80 level difference .  Furthermore, Kraugel hadn’t reached level 300, so his stats hadn’t awakened at the third level . Now Grid’s stats were overwhelmingly high .  Should Kraugel participate in PvP, which was sure to include the top rankers including Grid? It was a huge penalty . It was an unfair fight .  Hao hoped that Kraugel wouldn’t participate in the PvP this year . It would be a painful experience to watch his idol be defeated .

Kraugel nodded at the anxious Hao .

“I will participate . ”

Alexander was surprised .

“What? Are you a complete fool? Putting aside Grid, can’t you lose to someone like Chris or Damian? Do you need to decrease your reputation like this?”

"I agree with Alexander . In particular, I don’t want you to fight against Grid . ”

Hao respected Grid as much as Kraugel . He knew they considered each other to be rivals . Fighting in a disadvantageous situation was painful for both of them .  No, everyone in the world would feel sorry for them .

Hao expressed his opinion .  "I believe that your rematch should only occur when you are perfectly prepared for each other . Everyone will share my opinion . ”

Indeed, it was a confrontation of the century .  Everyone in the world expected a memorable battle between the two . It shouldn’t be meaningless . Hao was certain of this and Alexander nodded in agreement .

At that moment .

"Are you assuming that I will lose?”

Kraugel’s eyes sunk . It was a calm look that was reminiscent of the days when he was alone and was hard to read .

"I am determined to fight and I believe I can win . ” 

Hao and Alexander shouldn’t forget .  Kraugel was the sky above the sky . Now that he had the strongest legendary class of Sword Saint, he wouldn’t be caught by the notion of level .

"In the first place, my odds are the highest this year . ”

“ . . . ?”

Hao and Alexander were pushed by Kraugel’s force and felt puzzled .  It was because Kraugel implied that this year was his highest chance of winning . Kraugel shrugged at them .

"How many times have you told me? Grid’s potential is the strongest . He will grow stronger over time . If I try to match my level with him as much as possible, I might not be able to win again . ”

“ . . . ”

It was ridiculous .  Someone might’ve thought so . But Kraugel was sincere .

'He’s different from me, who can only use swordsmanship . ’

Grid could use swordsmanship, as well as items and magic . At the present time when Kraugel didn’t have a second class, he judged that Grid’s potential was higher than his . Of course, the basis for this judgment was Grid’s talent .

'His unyielding spirit will spur his growth . ’

When they competed the first time or when they competed the second time .  Kraugel couldn’t forget Grid’s eyes . The more desperate the situation, the more his eyes blazed with determination .

Duguen, duguen, dugeun .

Just like when Grid thought about Kraugel, Kraugel also got excited when he thought about Grid .
