Overgeared - Chapter 579

Chapter 579

 “ . . . !”

King Aslan doubted his eyes as he ran out of the palace .  Great Demon Belial was really destroyed .  The strongest monarch of hell, who had the power to destroy humanity, was beaten by a few hundred humans? King Aslan made an incredulous expression and soon found Grid . His eyes were filled with anger, resentment, and madness .

“The power of a legend that can even destroy great demons . . . ! Why you? Why did you use this power as a tool of rebellion?”

King Aslan wanted to make his kingdom stronger . He didn’t know why he had to be disturbed by this pure and upright cause .

“You don’t know! I always wanted a friendship with you! I really did my best to treat you well! Then why? Why did you ignore me to the end!”

He was serious . King Aslan needed Grid’s power and did his best to make peace with Grid . But in the end, he was ignored .

"Why weren’t you loyal to your kingdom!?”

Aslan complained to Grid .

Grid gazed at him silently before slowly opening his mouth . “You . . . How was that the case?”

“ . . . !”

"No, did you think it would be fine by using me to cover up the fact that you killed Prince Ren? Think about it from my perspective . How ridiculous is it? I received all the gifts you gave me, but I never felt grateful . ”

“That . . . It couldn’t be helped from my position . ”

“Right . You’re a dog who killed your older brother because you wanted to be king, and then framed me for it . You’re just trash . Now you’re acting as the ultimate victim . ”

“You!”

It was true to a certain degree .  The king of a nation who was no better than a dog was just rubbish .  Grid’s words were too much .  King Aslan couldn’t bear it any longer . His lingering grudges towards Grid disappeared . Grid had nailed a wedge into the feelings already inside him .

"Everything is gone . You and I weren’t destined to get on the same boat in the first place . ”

The reason Grid made Overgeared? There was only one reason .  It was to build up enormous resources . His infinite greed couldn’t bear the small kingdom of Eternal .

“If there wasn’t the incident with you and Prince Ren, you would’ve been kneeling before me already . ”

It had been decided from the beginning that he would swallow up Eternal . It was right after the Reinhardt golem invasion, where he refused to pledge allegiance to the royal family .

Suuk .

Grid’s sword pointed at Aslan . There was no hesitation in his action .

“Let’s finish this now . ”

The moment that Grid finished speaking .

Chaeng!

Chaeeeeeng!

All members of Overgeared simultaneously pointed their weapon .  They were movements without any error .  All of them were aiming for King Aslan and there was silence for a moment .  Sounds were heard from beyond the palace walls .   It was the wails of the people .

“Revive my daughter!”

“Revive my sister!”

“Kill the king!”

“Aslan isn’t king!”

The family and friends of the virgins sacrificed for the summoning of the great demon .  The people of Reinhardt had been condemning and cursing Aslan for half a day .  Their sorrow and anger couldn’t be reduced .  Their innocent women were burned to death .  They became the victim of a sin that couldn’t be understood .

Reinhardt’s people were convinced .  Aslan wasn’t qualified to be king . They cried out in order for the world to know the truth .

"Kill the king of Eternal!”

The people had turned away from Aslan . Grid carried out their will .

“Aslan, I am not like you . ”

If his greed was first, his kindness towards the weak was second .

Step .

Grid took one step closer to Aslan .  Chucksley blocked his way .  The sword of Eternal . Grid smiled bitterly at him, who defended Aslan without hesitation .  

"Aslan is the criminal who killed the legitimate successor to the throne, Prince Ren . He also sacrificed thousands of innocent people to summon a great demon . Is there a reason to protect him?”

“There’s no reason . This is my destiny . ”

From the moment of his birth until now . Chucksley only lived for protecting Eternal’s royal family . He was raised this way . He couldn’t think of any other way .

'Even if it’s the wrong king . . . ’ 

He couldn’t turn away .

Kkuok .

Chucksley’s expression was gripped his sword . But his eyes were sad .  He blamed the fate that he couldn’t rebel against . Grid’s greed boiled as he looked at Chucksley .

‘I want him . ’

A named NPC who was absolutely loyal to his owner .  Eternal’s first great swordsman .  Grid recognized the value of Chucksley . Grid knew that Chucksley was someone he wanted, just like Piaro, Asmophel, Sticks, and Rabbit .

Therefore .

“I will deal with you myself . I’ll change your fate . ”

Chwarururuk!

Rather than the Holy Light Armor, Grid’s body was covered with Triple Layers .

Next .

Teong!

Grid ordered the Overgeared members to wait and shot forward .  Chucksley shouted as he watched Grid, “This time will be different!”

The growth rate of named NPCs was slightly above the growth rate of players . Chucksley was several times stronger than he was when Prince Ren invaded Eternal and he blocked Grid’s attack .

Jjejejeok!

He endured the overwhelming attack power of the +9 Failure without much difficulty . His sword cut down Grid’s chest .

“Oppa!”

Ruby was shocked when she saw Grid bleeding . She wanted to use Heal, but Piaro stopped her .

"This is my lord’s battle . ”

In order to embrace the dragon, one had to be the sky .

"Humans can’t help the sky . Just watch him . ”

“ . . . ?”

Ruby couldn’t understand what Piaro meant .  But Ruby was quick to notice . She controlled her heart as she watched Grid’s health quickly go down . Piaro watched her as if she was worthy .

***

“Linked Kill Wave . ”

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

Thanks to Triple Layers, Grid considerably neutralized the attack power of Chucksley . He used the movement of his sword to get further away from Chucksley and unleashed a storm of swords .

Chucksley responded .

“Sword of Incision!”

Chuckely’s origin was as a knight . The characteristic of his swordsmanship was excellent defense .

Paaaat!

Chucksley moved his sword around him, creating several layers of aura that defended against the bombardment .

“Hoh . ”

Grid didn’t panic, despite his attack being neutralized . Rather, he enjoyed it .

'I desire him even more!’

Chwaruruk!

As Chucksley defended against Linked Kill Wave, silver threads flew from Grid’s fingertips as he started a new sword dance .  Dozens of strands of silver thread stretched out .  Like the Milky Way pouring from the night sky, the beautiful silver thread wrapped around Chucksley’s body . No, they tried to wrap around him .

‘Gone?’

It happened before the silver thread reached Chucksley .

Pahat!

Chucksley moved and appeared behind Grid .  He moved as swiftly as an assassin despite being a swordsman in heavy armor . Piaro admired it .

'A moving mountain . ’

A true rare breed .  Unlike others, Chucksley was fast and hard . It was because he trained to run to the king’s side at any time .

Jeeeong!

“Kuk . . . !”

Grid was struck from behind by Chucksley’s shield and his sword dance was cancelled .  This was the limitation of his sword dances .  The advantage was that the footwork required could be used to avoid attacks . However, it was difficult to see the advantage in swordsmanship that required a certain amount of footwork .  If Grid could use swordsmanship without needing to take steps then he wouldn’t have revealed such a gap .

Pagma’s Swordsmanship was a powerful skill, but it also showed the inherent limitations of a non-combat class . However, Grid had already overcome this limit .

Chaaeng!

Jjejeong! Jjejejeok!

Grid used a series of quickly movements to move from side to side, avoiding Chucksley’s shield and giving him a chance to swap weapons .  It was a staff instead of a sword . Belial’s Staff .

“Magic Missile!”

Peeeeeong!

Magic Missile could be used once per second and penetrated Chucksley quicker than ever .  The strength was superior to the past .  Thanks to the title of Savior of the World, the 200 extra points in intelligence increased his magic power and Belial’s Staff also raised the power .

“Cough!”

Despite his chest being pierced, Chucksley raised his shield instead of collapsing .

Peng!

Pepepepeng!

The Magic Missile bombardment continued . Earl Ashur’s eyes were wide as he watched .

‘I would believe he’s a magician instead of a blacksmith . ’

Magic Missile alone was enough to reverse the momentum .

“Ugh . . . ! King’s Shield!”

The continuous magic damaged Chucksley, who quickly used a defense skill . Then the light of defense stopped Grid’s Magic Missile bombardment .  Grid swapped from the staff to Sword Ghost .

‘Now!’

A gap was revealed during the item swap .  Chucksley quickly tried to strike during this time .  But the counterattack didn’t succeed . Grid didn’t allow it .

"Behind you . ”

Grid spoke a meaningful statement towards Chucksley .

Pepepepeok!

The white spheres behind Chucksley’s back were released, penetrated Chucksley’s body .  It was Magic Missile that contained Alarm magic . Chucksley had no idea that Magic Missiles were waiting for him and couldn’t react .

Swaeeeeek!

Chucksley staggered to one side and Sword Ghost pursued him .

"Huup!”

Chucksley tried to defend with his shield . The movement was incomplete, putting great strain on his knees and waist .  But wasn’t it better than allowing an attack? Chucksley focusing on blocking Grid’s strike .

Supak!

The Sword Ghost aiming at Chucksley split into two, making two orbits .

Chaeng!

One Sword Ghost moved along the original orbit and slammed against the shield .

Seokeok!

The other Sword Ghost hit Chucksley’s chest .

“Keok!”

The match was decided . Chucksley still had half his health left while Grid only had 1/3rd, but Chucksley could tell .

‘This is an opponent I can’t win against . . . ’

Grid wasn’t using the golden hands . He just overwhelmed Chucksley with pure skill . Chucksley couldn’t deny his complete defeat .

‘But . ’ 

He still had a commitment to protect King Aslan .  This was his absolute destiny .  In an unsafe posture, Chucksley tried to use his ultimate technique . It was aiming at Grid . At that moment .

Kurururung!

The golden hands knocked down a wall around the palace .  At this moment, Chucksley saw the crying people enter .

Grid asserted . “The king is respected because he protects the people . Chucksley, why should you protect a king who doesn’t care about the people?” 

“ . . . !”

His destiny was lost .  Chucksley looked at the crying people and understood .  What reason did he have to protect the king? The sword was heavy .  He let go of the sword . Chucksley fell to his knees and bowed his head .

Grid confirmed this and gave an order to the Overgeared members .

“Capture Aslan . From this time on, I will occupy the throne of Eternal . ”

『 . . . !!! 』

A new hot topic not long after the Belial raid! The media companies around the world were busy . Grid’s attitude that blatantly aimed at the throne was breaking news . In this heated atmosphere, Grid declared .

“I will build a new nation with my people as well as the wounded Reinhardt . ”

The first player to become a king! The hearts of the Overgeared members ran wild and the attention of the world concentrated on Grid . In the midst of this anticipation and anxiety, Grid spoke the name he had thought hard about .

“The Overgeared Kingdom!” I am Overgeared’s king, Grid!”

“ . . . ?”

『 . . . 』

-Is this true?

A new legend had begun .
