Chapter 742

‘What?’

As soon as Grid pulled out the blue booklet, Hao got goosebumps . He knew what the identity of this book  was .

‘Scripture . . . !’

Swaaaaah .

Grid’s body was surrounded by light . The wounds that proved the fierceness of the battle disappeared like a lie . Hao’s eyes shook .

‘He selected a cleric?’

In the character selection value, Hao saw the cleric’s value as low .  A magician exerted a unique attack power after getting a magic wand, while a producer could make bows and arrows themselves . Both were excellent classes . In particular,  Hao thought that Grid would choose the producer class .  It was a speculation considering his identity as a legendary blacksmith .  Yet he was a cleric?

Hao gulped .

‘Grid, did you know from the beginning?’

In the character selection window, Hao saw the cleric as a bad class .  Immediately after entering the battlefield, he realized after seeing that there were dozens of shrines on the mini-map .  In fact, the cleric was the class with the greatest potential . Why? The scriptures, which he thought relied on pure luck, were actually items that could be secured strategically .  If a cleric secured a large number of scriptures, Hao predicted that the cleric would be the greatest hurdle .

But he didn’t worry much .  He was sure that no one among the high rankers would choose a cleric .  

‘I don’t anyone would’ve realized that the scriptures can be secured so easily just by looking at the character description . ’

The scriptures were described as being all over the map . There was no explanation that it could be secured in a specific area .  The other rankers were likely to evaluate a cleric lowly . But Grid was different .  He selected a cleric .

‘Grid, you read a few steps into the future . Indeed, you are the person that I acknowledge . I can only say that you are great . ’

Hao was impressed and thrilled .  Now he had 7 health left .  On the other hand, Grid read the scripture and had 15 health .

‘I need to hit him 15 times . ’

The situation had become worse . The word ‘defeat’ entered Hao’s head .  However, Hao didn’t know how to give up .

‘There’s still a chance . The possibility that Grid has secured two scriptures is very unlikely . ’

He had to do two or three hits for every time he got hit! Hao held his spear and raised his concentration to the extremes .  He had already become accustomed to Pagma’s Swordsmanship .

‘Grid turns when he uses Link and Wave, while he can respond with a faster thrust when he uses Kill . He doesn’t attack when using the footwork of Revolve and will narrow the distance when he uses Pinnacle . ’

Hao was a person who was praised as the master of fighting . His ability to identity the enemy’s strengths and weaknesses and reverse the situation were excellent .  He had excellent analytical abilities and improvisation so it wasn’t difficult for him to grasp Pagma’s Swordsmanship .  Hao believed that he could observe the direction of Grid’s feet during the sword dance and cope with it, allowing him to easily win .

At that moment .

Teong!

Grid stepped forward . The weight on his leg was different from simply moving .  It was the precursor of Kill and Pinnacle .

Hao quickly identified it and moved his right foot backwards . He watched clearly how Grid’s feet moved and took preliminary actions to cope with a stab or avoidance .  At this point, Grid moved forward again . He narrowed the distance to Hao more than necessary .

‘Pinnacle!’

Hao detected it! Hao didn’t want to confront it with his low health and took one step back .  He chose to take evasive action . At the same time .

Sakak-!

Grid’s sword moved through the area where Hao had just been standing .  It was an attack with more sharpness compared to using blunt weapons . A smile appeared on Hao’s mouth .

‘Now!’

It was time to counterattack .  Hao moved his right foot in a wide manner . The spear in his hand stretched out like a flash .  It was aimed precisely at Grid’s heart .  Hao was confident that he would completely stab Grid . But at that moment .  Grid’s sword falling towards the ground stopped in the air . The moment Hao came closer to Grid .  The descending strike was converted into a stab .

Pinnacle Kill .

‘What?’

Puk!

Hao’s spear stabbed at Grid’s chest .

Puoook!

Grid’s sword pierced Hao’s heart .  Of course, Grid was faster .  Before Hao could reclaim the spear, Grid retrieved the sword and attacked a second time .  It was possible because the length of the sword was shorter than the spear .

Seokeok!

“Kuk . . . !”

Hao’s shoulder was cut .  Grid recovered his sword again and Hao, who already finished retrieving his spear, belatedly struck a second time .  Hao tried to maintain his composure .  If he could hit two more times, they would return to the starting point . Therefore, he decided not to fret . However, Hao’s second blow didn’t hit .

Jjejeong!

Just before Hao’s spear reached his chest .  Grid turned his sword in the air and blocked Hao’s spear . Revolve .

'What happened?’

Hao’s eyes twitched .  Not only did Grid’s swordsmanship became more diverse, but it was surprising since it was linked at a faster timing than before . It might be a small change when other people saw it . But in Hao’s case, he was directly dealing with Grid and Grid seemed to have been transformed into a different person .

Hao was confused .

"Sword dance, sword dance . It is no wonder that a sword is more appropriate for it than a blunt weapon . ”

Grid informed him of the situation .  That’s right . Grid changed the moment he switched from a blunt weapon to a sword . Now he was showing off his true talent .

‘I can’t lose with a sword!’

From the beginning, Grid saw Hao as a tough opponent . Thus, he was keenly looking for a sword from the moment the battle began . On the other hand, Hao saw Grid as below him . He wasn’t obsessed with the sword at first .

‘This is the result of carelessness!’

Hao realized the difference between himself and Grid .  Grid was humble, while Hao was arrogant .  This difference showed in the current results .  Hao thought so .  But the reality was somewhat different .  Hao used various weapons thanks to Weapons Mastery . He was skilled with all weapons because of his excellent talent . That’s why he wasn’t obsessed with a specific weapon .  On the other hand, Grid had no talent like Hao . He used a variety of weapons but he wasn’t accustomed to weapons other than swords . Therefore, he had no confidence with other weapons . This was why he was so obsessed with the sword .

One who had talent and one who had not .  The two of them were divided here .  It wasn’t because Grid was humble . It was a truth that no one knew .

‘I can’t win . ’

Hao judged . He sensed it the moment Grid used two sword dances in a row .

‘Achieving such complicated sword dances with the stats of this body . . . His talent is comparable to Kraugel . ’

The difference between heaven and earth! Hao was enlightened and abandoned the weapon on his hand .

“I lost . Kill me . ”

“Huh?” Grid was confused when his opponent surrendered at the end . “Why are you surrendering? Shouldn’t you accumulate as much damage on me as possible, even if you lose?”

“I would’ve done this if I hated you . ”

Hao had a great liking for Grid . That’s why he visited South Korea . He didn’t want to cause damage to Grid by fighting to the end . He wanted to cheer on Grid rather than grab at Grid’s ankle . Grid noticed his heart and smiled .

“You are truly Pon . Thank you . ”

“ . . . ”

This guy, he still didn’t know Hao’s identity despite fighting for so long? Hao became frustrated once he realized how weak his presence was .

‘My skills are lacking . ’

Hao was once Grid’s enemy . If Grid had been impressed by Hao, it would’ve been possible for him to identify Hao in this match .  But Grid didn’t know Hao’s identity . It meant Hao didn’t leave an intense impression on Grid .  Hao blamed himself for being lacking .  But it wasn’t true . The reason why Grid mistook Hao as Pon wasn’t because he trivialized Hao’s ability . It was the opposite .

"How about it? You are Pon right? Only Pon can use the spear in such an amazing manner . ”

“ . . . Haha, I am Hao . ”

A big smile appeared on Hao’s face .

*** 

-Hao is pathetic!

-Surrendering without fighting to the end . . . ! It’s the disgrace of a great nation!

The Chinese viewers were indignant . The top ranker of China was defeated by the ranker of a ‘small country . ’

-Hao should be banished forever from China! 

-Right! It is unacceptable for a representative of 1 . 5 billion people to kneel to a Korean representative! The entire world is watching as China surrenders to South Korea! It’s an absolute disgrace!!!

-Banish Hao!

-Send him to the trash!

The Internet was in chaos .  The Chinese people were angry on various communities and social networks . Of course, this wasn’t all Chinese people . But some people disgraced the country of China with their selfishness and arrogance .

-I pity Hao .

-Yes .  How many medals has Hao obtained for China so far . . .  One result has caused him to be called a complete traitor .

-Aren’t they particularly sensitive because Grid is Korean? The Chinese seem to ignore South Korea quite a bit .

-Why are they taking the competition between Grid and Hao like the competition between South Korea and China? It’s a solo exhibition anyway .

-That's right .  What does a person’s nationality matter?

The moment when netizens of each country were accusing some of the Chinese netizens, the Korean netizens felt a great deal of pleasure .

-God Grid alone can turn the continent upside down .  ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Really amazing .

-South Koreans seemed to be genetically excellent .  Our population isn’t high, but one person in each field is always unique .

-Ah, I really like Grid .  Thanks to Grid, I’m happy at every National Competition .

-Eh? What is this?

-Wow .  It is big .

The people watching Battlefield grew restless .  As Grid and Hao were facing each other, an Australian representative aimed at Grid through the bushes . Just before Grid was caught off guard .

-Avoid it!

-Notice it!

No matter how fast the netizens typed or the shouts of the audience, the contents couldn’t reach Grid .  Grid was thinking if it was better to kill Hao, who already acknowledged defeat, or team up with Hao . Then .

Teong!

An arrow flew through the bushes and hit Grid .

[You have suffered 2 damage . ]

“Kuk . . . !”

High destructive power! Grid turned a perplexed gaze in the direction that the arrow came from .

“Take this . If you beat me then you better win . ”

Hao handed the blue booklet to Grid and rushed through the bushes .

Puk!

An arrow struck Hao’s chest . Now Hao’s health fell below 3 . His vision started blinking red as a warning .  However, Hao didn’t stop .  He moved accurately in the direction of the arrow and stabbed the spear in the opponent who ambushed Grid .

“Shit . . . ! I thought I could eat for free! Aren’t you enemies?”

The Australian representative shook as he was stabbed by the spear . He was also in a state of low health from fighting against other representatives .

Paaaat!

Hao and the Australian representative turned grey at the same time .

“Hao!”

Thanks to Hao, Grid preserved his health . There were now less than 400 people left on Battlefield .
