Overgeared - Chapter 1044

Chapter 1044: 1044

『 Hup . . . ! 』

What was this spectacular skill? It reminded most people of Pagma’s Swordsmanship .  In particular, when Grid sword danced using Iyarugt with the ‘coolness’ option attached, it was as beautiful as a painting .  However, when it came to scale, there was no skill more gorgeous than Space Sword .

It was one of Kraugel’s ultimate skills .  The super skill maximized the basic characteristic ‘there is nothing you can’t cut’ of a Sword Saint to cut the world itself .

[Critical!!]

[The target has received 15,300,599 damage . ]

[The target has received 17,900,143 . . . ]

[The target has received . . . ]

. . . .

. . .

[The target has suffered irreversible damage! All stats are reduced by 20%, and all speeds are reduced by 50%!]

[The target has exposed his weakness! If you hit the target within 30 seconds, an unconditional critical hit will be applied! The critical damage applied will be 1 . 5 times higher!]

[ . . . !]

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[Your powerful sword has separated the world!!!]

The massive walls that made up the canyon were split in half .  A line was drawn through everything in the world, including the demons that resembled flies infesting the sky and the winding earth of the canyon .  Many of the demons advancing along the narrow path, those climbing the walls, and those in the sky had their bodies cut and turned to gray ash .  If Zibal rode on Pegasus and killed more than 100 demons, then Kraugel produced a miracle that devastated thousands of demons with a single blow .  Space Sword was fatal to the advancing army because it had the effect of ‘cutting all enemies that exist in the path . ’

[The earth god Garion has exerted his power . All things split in half are restored like the split was a lie . ]

The canyon walls and earth, that had been split apart, reattached into their original state .  The demons fell into the gaps formed in the walls and the earth and disappeared .  Additionally . . .

““ . . . ””

Berith’s left arm was precisely struck by the Space Sword and cut off .  White blood rose like a fountain from the cut surface, shocking the world .  The demons’ eyes widened, and they stiffened .

『 U-Unbelievable . . . ! The demon army’s advance has stopped instantly! 』

『 Oh, my god! The moment he appeared, he cut off the great demon’s arm! Tens of thousands of people and rankers struggled to achieve this . . . ! 』 

『 Really! This is amazing! Great, Kraguel!! 』 

Commentators around the world shouted with excitement, and all of the world’s viewers cheered .  However, Kraugel’s face didn’t show any excitement .  Kraugel evaluated the space as an ‘empty cart . ’ Unlike the flashy performance that made the world loud, it didn’t kill the target in one blow .

Although it boasted the highest damage coefficient among wide-area skills, it didn’t completely deviate beyond the limits of a wide-area skill . This was the somewhat weak part compared to other ultimate skills .  It was just that the special nature of war highlighted the merits of Space Sword . The topographical advantage of the canyon also played a big part . The demons were vulnerable to Space Sword as they marched on the narrow road .

‘His physical defense is twice as high as Belial’s . Is it around three times the health?’

Kraugel compared his current specs with his specs during the Belial raid .  He checked the damage that had been inflicted on Belial and the health gauge of Berith, and he came to a conclusion .  Once again, Kraugel concluded that Berith couldn’t be raided with his current power .

‘It isn’t possible without Grid, Damian, and Ruby . ’

Grid’s Four Heavenly Kings that had appeared during the Demon King’s Subjugation were Piaro, Asmophel, Noll who played a big role in Reidan recently, and the woman whose exact reality still wasn’t known .  Kraugel couldn’t help thinking of those four people .  Grid had almost lost Piaro in the Belial raid, so it was unlikely he would let NPCs join this raid .

‘Let’s slowly buy time . ’

Normally, Kraugel linked Space Sword with another skill .  This was due to the 30-second period when critical damage was increased .  It meant attacking Berith could cause significant damage .  Still, Kraugel didn’t overdo it .  He knew that he didn’t need to overdo it because the Overgeared Guild was currently on the way here .

How did he know? It was naturally thanks to Hao and Alexander .  China’s top ranker and Russia’s top ranker were Kraugel’s limbs .  Kraugel’s information network went beyond the days of when he was alone .  Well, in this case, he didn’t need his information network .

-I’m going to kill him .  Leave a share for me, Grid sent him this whisper .

Kraugel turned his attention to Zibal .  Zibal, who was saved just before death, looked very uncomfortable .  The moment Kraugel’s gaze fell on him, Zibal grumbled, “Dammit, I still can’t tell who the main character is . ”

“It has been a long time since I was pushed into the supporting role . ”

“You have thick skin . ”

Zibal descended to the ground alongside Kraugel and captured the scene of the battlefield .  Hundreds of demons had perished, and hundreds more moaned due to their wounds . Thousands of demons stiffened like statues when they saw their master had lost his arm .  Only one presence completely changed the atmosphere of the battlefield .

It was overwhelming, and it was certain that Kraugel was definitely stronger than the days when he was the sky above the sky .  This was quite different from the weak self he showed in the two years after becoming a Sword Saint .  It seemed that he could finally use the power of a Sword Saint properly .

“ . . . The competition for the top will soon be fierce again . ”

“No, I still have a long way to go . ”

As much as he grew, Grid would’ve grown beyond that .  Grid had built up the largest player-based power on the continent, and his growth environment wasn’t comparable to a single player’s .  It was fundamental that he monopolized all types of information and riches while his utilization of talent was unmatched .

One example was Great Sage Sticks .  Thanks to Stick’s Mass Teleport, Grid could move anywhere at any time .  It was completely different from the activity radius of one player .

‘Truly amazing . ’

Who would’ve imagined that Grid could grow the Overgeared Kingdom to this point? Most people thought it was lucky if he could keep it .  However, Grid was very resourceful, and the kingdom developed rapidly . They advanced ahead of kingdoms hundreds of years old and were able to compete with the empire .  Grid was a great person .

“By the way, I couldn’t even help damage the great demon,” Zibal muttered as he gazed at Berith in the distance .  The cut-off limb was like rotten meat on the ground, and blood was still flowing down from the severed shoulder .  The bleeding from the amputation was something that even a great demon couldn’t avoid .  Berith’s slightly consumed health gauge gave Zibal some hope of winning .

“Let’s join forces this time . I’ll use Raiders, so let’s work together to wound Berith through a gap . ”

“The ultimate goal of alchemy . ”

“ . . . ?”

“It isn’t just about making gold, it is about creating life . The existence of the Stone of Life is the evidence . ”

“What?”

Zibal wanted to cooperate, only for Kraugel to suddenly speak nonsense . . . ? Kraugel pointed at something while responding to the confused Zibal, “It is easy for Berith to recover his flesh . ”

“ . . . !?” Zibal’s eyes widened .

The blood flowing from Berith’s shoulder was as hard as metal .  It soon became bones, flesh, and skin .  The sight of Berith instantly restoring his left arm stunned the viewers watching as well as Zibal .

“This damn monster . ” Zibal clicked his tongue .  Was it useless to cut the body? It was the first time he realized that alchemy was so great .  Even the alchemy of the best nation of the continent, the Saharan Empire, was at a level that was little better than making potions and metals .  Toward the stiff Zibal—no, it was toward Kraugel standing beside Zibal, Berith spoke .

““The Sword Saint of this time is weak,”” he said quietly from a distance of several kilometers, but his voice entered their ears clearly . ““Sword Saint Muller sealed many great demons . I think it's impossible for you . ””

Kraugel didn’t deny it .  “That's right . It will be hard for me with my current strength . ”

Muller was the strongest human in history .  If the potential of a named NPC could be classified from 1 to 10, Muller’s potential would be 100 .  It wasimpossible for the player Kraugel to be as strong as Muller .  However, Kraugel wasn’t alone .

“Sorry for being late . ”

“It took me a while to collect the kids . ”

Hao, Alexander, and dozens of Russian rankers rushed to Kraugel’s side .  It was a much more splendid party than any other Berith raiding party, including Zibal’s party .  The audience’s hearts pounded .  Yet from Berith’s perspective, it was just a group of small fries .

Berith scoffed, and 10 magic circles appeared in the air around him .  They quickly transformed all the elements around them .  From dust, dirt, stones, rocks, water, and the air, they turned into metal harder than steel as they formed 10 large and threatening spears that shot at Kraugel .

““Die . ””

“Gulp!” Kraugel’s group swallowed their saliva .  They were full of fighting spirit, but once they directly met Berith, the power felt from him was beyond imagination .  Could they hold on until the Overgeared Guild arrived? To be honest, they didn’t feel confident .

The 10 spears crossed the battlefield .  They flew past all the obstacles in front of them and struck Kraugel’s group .  The 10 spears were of a totally different dimension .  The viewers thought this as they watched the canyon collapse more every time a spear grazed it .  Then the flying 10 spears suddenly slowed down, gradually losing their shape and scattering .

『 What? 』

The commentators and viewers couldn’t understand the sudden phenomenon .  The same was true for Hao, Alexander, and Zibal .  Only two beings knew .  Only Kraugel and Berith could see why the alchemy lost its momentum .  

“ . . . Intangible will?”

A power with no form—it was a realm for the absolute masters who could knock down objects with just their willpower .  Two powerful wills were extinguishing Berith’s alchemy .  Berith looked rather surprised and moved his focus from Kraugel’s group to the back wall of the fortress . Hundreds of cameras followed his gaze .

“It is an ugly horse . ”

“This great demon has an arrogant tone . ”

A man and woman who held spears were standing there .  The somewhat short middle-aged man had the name Kirinus, and the beautiful blond woman whose age couldn’t be determined had the name of Rachel .  Both their names shone a bright gold color .  The commentators and viewers doubted their eyes .

 『The best spearsman on the continent, Kirinus! 』

『 Spear Saint Rachel!! 』

『 H-How are they here? 』

The powerhouses of the continent that the average players would never have a chance to meet—why had they appeared beside each other in this place? In particular, Rachel was one of the empire’s Seven Dukes .  The empire was ignoring the crisis of the Haken Kingdom, so no one could easily guess why she was visiting the Haken Kingdom .  Kraugel greeted the two of them, “You came . ”

“Yes,” Kirinus and Rachel responded lightly .  Kraugel seemed close to the two of them .

『 D-Don’t tell me . . . . 』

Kraugel was the one who brought the powerhouses here? An inflexible general—this was what the world had evaluated Kraugel as .  Most people believed that Kraugel had fallen once and would never be able to catch up with Grid .  After all, what could Kraugel do on his own?

Grid had hundreds of rankers and the monstrous Four Heavenly Kings .  In the end, Grid would stand as an eternal presence .  The people had to think like this, but their minds changed at this moment .  A duke and the best spearman of the continent… .

Those who witnessed Kraugel appear with two super-grade NPCs saw that Kraugel had the potential to surpass Grid .  They might not know the best spearman of the continent, but the Saharan Empire was the greatest power on the continent .  Even Grid’s Four Heavenly Kings would just be babies in front of the Seven Dukes . . .

The people thought like this .
