Overgeared - Chapter 1281

Chapter 1281: 1281

Bain dreamed of the revival of Eclipse . He tried to regain the old reputation of Eclipse, whose name terrorized and controlled the world .

His first endeavor was to stab the back of the former Lantier, who couldn’t give up on his foolish disciples . His second endeavor was to learn Lantier’s skills with insufficient talent . His third endeavor was to sneak into the palace and gain the emperor’s trust .

Bain’s actions were a series of hardships . Every moment was a crisis . It felt like walking on a steel wire with a huge rock on his back . He couldn’t remember how many times he almost fell off the wire . However, Bain held on and moved forward little by little .

Then he took a chance . It was the moment when Chensler was struck by the sword of the traitor, Edan, and when the rampage caused by Saharan’s sword swept over both Juander and Chensler . For the first time in the decades since he infiltrated the palace, Bain used Lantier’s technique and permeated the shadows .

His hardship was at an end . He would absorb Juander’s red energy and complete Lantier’s techniques . He would reign as the king of darkness and rule the world!

The precarious wire was reborn as a solid stone bridge . Bain was overcome with excitement and joy, and he was convinced that he had reached the peak of his life . He relied on the chaos caused by Edan and succeeded in securing Juander . Then he immediately rushed to Eclipse’s base . He detained Juander in the facility he had prepared for over 20 years and exploited the red energy .

Slowly by steadily, he absorbed the enormous red energy into his body . Then a ghost of the former Lantier appeared .

Unlike Bain, who had many flaws because he taught himself Lantier’s techniques, this person’s techniques were systematic and had few gaps . This person couldn’t use the advanced techniques, but the combination of destructive physical skills and gorgeous techniques were reminiscent of the former Lantier .

“Who the hell are you?”

“I am Kasim’s disciple . ”

“ . . . . . . !”

It was unbelievable . At the last moment, Bain was caught by karma . It was at a rather difficult moment . It would’ve been less unfair if he met this person when he wanted to give up everything!

“He . . . ! I should’ve found that guy and killed him!”

The former Lantier’s disciples had clear goals and were tenacious even if their talent wasn’t enough . It reminded Bain of the former Lantier’s argument that they would reach the peak in their respective fields . He recalled the words of the former Lantier, who said that if both disciples were elected as Lantier and cooperated, they would be more powerful than the 25th Lantier .

No, he shouldn’t be deceived by that guy’s words . Bain had already denied him and betrayed him . Bain got rid of old memories with a roar and slipped into the shadows . His intention was to stab Faker’s back, but Faker didn’t allow it .

He controlled the shadow and turned it into a thorny path, so that Bain had no choice but to leap out and discard the shadows . He immediately hid in another shadow and was prepared to attack when dozens of shadow daggers struck his body . It was the aftermath of the shadow he was hiding in turning into dozens of blades .

‘This . . . !’

The other person’s dominance over shadows far outweighed Bain’s . The shadows he already controlled were taken away and a fight couldn’t take place . Additionally, the other person’s speed at controlling the shadows was nearly twice as fast as Bain’s . The physical abilities were also twice as high . . .

“Keuk!”

The level of the body technique was different . It was different to cope when the opponent gently dodged and then counterattacked with a kick that was twice as fast and twice as strong . Through Faker, Bain was able to glimpse the huge wall he felt when he ambushed the former Lantier, but was unable to take away his life . This was a wall he wouldn’t have felt if Bain hadn’t been obsessed with Lantier’s techniques .

If he hadn’t used Lantier’s techniques and instead used his own inherent techniques to decide victory or defeat, he wouldn’t have lost a lot of physical strength from using the red energy and would’ve had the advantage in the battle . However, Bain made the wrong judgment . He believed he would be stronger if he used the incomplete Lantier’s techniques rather than his own skills . While it was true, the problem was that the other person was well-versed in Lantier’s techniques .

“Do you think I will give up at this point?!”

A red aura rose from Bain’s body . He pulled out Juander’s red energy that was not yet fully his own . The shadows around him were stained with red and Bain’s shadow control speed was nearly twice as fast as before . His dominance also rose and his shadows could no longer be taken away by Faker .

A battle where the flow couldn’t be read began . In the thousands of large and small shadows created by the complex topography of the deep cave, Faker and Bain appeared and disappeared repeatedly, causing sparks to fly .

“ . . . . . . ”

“ . . . . . . ”

The expressions of Eclipse’s assassins, who was kidnapped by Bain and brainwashed before they were mature, started to distort . They were calm even in the face of death . Now they were confused for the first time in ages . They had been brainwashed into believing Lantier was their master and there were now two masters in front of them .

That’s right—the assassins of Eclipse couldn’t distinguish between Bain and Faker . They recognized Bain as their master based on Lantier’s techniques so their thinking was confused . Due to this, Bain wasn’t helped by anyone .

“Cough!”

“Keuk!”

Dozens of times? No, perhaps it was hundreds of times already . Bain and Faker crossed countless times in the shadows and black blood gushed from their mouths . It was because they were both poisoned by Lantier’s Poison, which had an irresistible curse .

After hundreds of attacks and defenses, both were covered with small and large wounds and their skin had darkened . From now on, it was a battle of speed . They had to quickly defeat the enemy in front of them to gain time for detoxification .

“Shadow Soldiers . ”

Faker struck first . He controlled thousands of shadows at the same time and turned them into soldiers with spears . The soldiers acted as a barrier for Faker and pointed their spears at Bain . It was a place Bain hadn’t reached yet . No, it was an unreachable place for him .

This technique that controlled a large number of soldiers at once and caused them to become soldiers was Kasim’s unique technique that he made by reinterpreting Lantier’s techniques . However, Bain had red energy . Red energy had the power to dominate and control matter . More than half of Faker’s shadow soldiers quickly turned red .

“Shadow Soldiers! Cough!”

Red energy was originally the power belonging to someone else . Bain hadn’t fully gained control of the red energy and was injured . Black blood poured from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth . He staggered like he was about to fall . However, unlike his physical condition, the situation on the battlefield was favorable to him .

The red shadow soldiers started to ambush Faker’s shadow soldiers . The shadow soldiers aimed spears at each other . The black shadow soldiers were first attacked by the red shadow soldiers that appeared in their formation and quickly collapsed .

Bain and Faker disappeared from the messy battlefield . They crossed the shadow soldiers calmly and reappeared while colliding in the air .

“Ohhhhhh!” Bain’s cry echoed loudly .

His physical technique that gathered the shadows around his fist and threw it out had reached a level that even the former Lantier hadn’t reached . He had already pushed the limits many times . Bain was certain after he felt the sensation from his arm that stretched out neatly in a straight line .

“I won!”

The moment he defeated this person, he would surpass the previous Lantier . It was a huge feat that transcended his status . Bain smiled faintly .

“Greed . ” Just then, the shadows gathered at one point were swallowed up . It was Kasim’s ultimate skill that he created by combining Daluka’s Methods and Lantier’s Methods . It was theoretically the strongest physical force that swallowed all the things around him .

“Ku . . . kuaaaaaack!”

Bain’s entire body was swallowed up from head to toe . The irresistible pressure caused his body to crumple like a piece of paper and it ate greedily .

“Keok! Keeeeeeeok!”

Terrible, bizarre noises, and screams resonated in the cave . The red shadow soldiers dominating the battlefield stopped instantly and disappeared like they were a lie .

“Gasp . . . Gasp . . . ”

Faker’s Greed was at a very low level compared to Kasim’s one . It only worked on targets with less than 15% health . If Lantier’s poison was a damage over time (dot) skill that dealt fixed damage instead of a dot skill that dealt percentage damage, Faker wouldn’t have a chance to use Greed against Bain .

However, Faker eventually won . He believed in Lantier’s poison and predicted his victory in the fight against Bain . In the end, it was a victory due to thorough calculations .

[You have changed classes to the legendary assassin Lantier . ]

[Your level has been reset to level 1 . ]

The notification windows that he should have originally been happy about popped up . It was just that the timing was too bad .

“ . . . . . . ”

“ . . . . . . ”

Hundreds of assassins were surrounding the helpless Faker . The assassins of Eclipse . They were the puppets Bain had raised for decades . They gazed at Faker with apathetic eyes and took a few steps closer to Faker while pulling out their daggers . Then they cut their own hands and dripped blood onto Faker’s shadow .

“We pledge allegiance to the new Lantier . ”

***

“ . . . . . . ”

Faker woke up from his recollections of his encounter with Bain . He saw Grid spending time with his family before leaving for the East Continent and commanded the assassins in the darkness .

“As of today, Eclipse is under the umbrella of the Overgeared Shadows . ”

“Attention!”

An assassination group that existed for thousands of years—the strongest organization in history was completely absorbed by the Overgeared Kingdom . The sinister name of Eclipse was discarded, and they were reborn with the glorious name of Overgeared Shadows .

“Why . . . ? Assassins . . . ”

Lauel cried sadly, but Faker didn’t care . The name ‘Overgeared’ was now his pride .
