Chapter 764

1 . 6 seconds .  It was the time it took Tarma to reach Grid with Shadow Shift .  After that, Tarma’s dagger stabbed Grid’s shoulder and it took another 0 . 5 seconds for Grid’s sword to reach Tarma’s body .

Yes, just 2 . 1 seconds .  It was the time it took to defeat Tarma . It broke his previous record of 3 seconds .

“ . . . ”

Tokyo Dome fell silent .

Duk .

Some viewers in South Korea dropped their jokbal on the floor . They were eating spicy jokbal instead of chicken .  The viewers and TV commentators belatedly opened their mouths .

『 Skill . . . Player Grid has acquired a powerful skill . 』

『 Ah . . . ! Yes! C-Correct! That’s right! 』

Most of Grid’s attack skills required the preparatory actions of a ‘sword dance . ’ Sometimes it was an advantage, but there were more disadvantages . There were blind spots compared to the immediate skills of the combat specialized classes .  It was viewed as Grid’s weak spot .  This year’s Grid had overcome his weakness .

『 Player Grid is a hero who captured the Behen Archipelago . He seems to have acquired the strongest skill as a reward from the Behen Archipelago . 』

『 He’s born again as a complete body . . . 』

Nobody expected that what Grid used to kill Tarma was a ‘basic’ attack . No, they couldn’t even imagine it . People rarely imagined things that broke common sense .  The experts interpreted it as Grid acquiring a new ultimate skill . The audience and viewers saw the replay video that was repeated several times and agreed .

『 A quick fire skill boasting a range that even the fastest assassin can’t avoid . . . Ah! Maybe it’s a black fire dragon . . . ! 』

『 Black fire dragon . . . ? Do you mean the power that Player Lauel mentioned several times? 』

『 Yes, that’s right . Lauel had said it in an interview with various media . The power of a black dragon was sealed in his right hand and he served his master Grid with this power sealed . Maybe Grid has released the seal of that power . . . 』

『 I think the black fire dragon is a reward from some type of quest . It’s really scary if it’s true . . . 』

This was an interpretation that started to spread, but few people were concerned about this part .  It didn’t matter if it was a black fire dragon or not .  Either way, Grid had acquired the ultimate skill .  The anticipation towards the battle between Grid and Kraugel increased .

"Player Tarma! Tell me how you feel about being logged out in two seconds!”

"Shut up!”

After the match .  Tarma hurriedly came down from the stage like he was ashamed . He was terrified .  He feared Grid who disbanded Blood Carnival . . . The fear that he had forgotten filled Tarma’s body and mind .  Tarma’s body was shaking as he rushed to the waiting room .  Tarma realized .  The fact that the power gap with Grid couldn’t be filled up no matter how he struggled .

‘I can’t face that monster . ’

He didn’t know what type of harm he would come to from the Cork Island incident .

Scoff .

“ . . . ?!”

Tarma stopped as he was running away with a pale face .  Zhang Zheng was leaning of one side of the corridor leading to the waiting rooms, laughing sat Tarma .  

"Do you think it makes sense to die in one blow? The old generation is just a joke . ”

“You . . !”

Tarma’s face reddened . His grudge against this bastard, who didn’t even know Grid’s power, was very large . His eyes instantly filled with killing intent .  But it quickly died down .  Tarma confirmed that there were bodyguards by Zhang Zheng’s side and lost his momentum .  He snorted at the sight .

“Do you think you’re good enough to look down on me? This small fry who was just born? I think the world has gone crazy if someone like you is walking around . ”

“You . . . ! I’m a third-generation rookie!”

10 new rookies were born every year .  They used the know-how accumulated by senior players and information released to the world to speed up their growth . They believed that their growth was faster than their predecessors due to talent .  The older players were just ridiculous .

“I can assure you . You will also die in two seconds . You will die in a single strike from Grid . Grid is a monster and you aren’t better than me!”

Tarma eagerly hoped it would be like this .  He didn’t like this bastard before him .

'Shit! I never thought the day would come when I will support Grid!’

Tarma disappeared after ranting .

Zhang Zheng shouted towards his shabby rear view .  "This dog only knows how to talk! I will show you how incompetent the old generation are! Understood?”

Time was proportional to developed . This also applied to humans . There were far more great people in the science age than in history .  The new generation was unconditionally better than the old generation .  These were Zhang Zheng’s thoughts . It was his personal thoughts!

“Grid, I won’t challenge you again . ”

“ . . . ”

On the way back to the waiting room .  Grid met Bubat, who was waiting for him . There was a bitter smile on Bubat’s face .

"I realized it after being defeated by Zhang Zheng . I have no hope in a one on one battle . ”

During the 1st National Competition and 2nd National Competition’s PvP event .  Bubat won against everyone except for Grid . He was overlooked because he kept being defeated by Grid . It was the limits of a Crusher .  After all, a Crusher was an initiator . He had weak attack power . It was possible to neutralize the target, but he didn’t have the force to finish them off .

It took Bubat many years to acknowledge the painful reality .

“It can’t be helped . Apart from Grid, I have only fought with weak people . I thought I was really strong . Therefore, I was burning with a will to challenge you . But I realized it in this fight with Zhang Zheng . It’s impossible to beat an opponent who has reached a certain level . ”

“Hrmm . . . ”

Grid showed some confusion because he didn’t know how to respond .  It had been three years since the start of his bad relationship with Bubat and there was no reason to like him .  Grid was clearly aware that Bubat took part in the invasion of Patrian and put the Overgeared Guild in a crisis .  Such a person wouldn’t be coming up to him with a good heart .  

Bubat confirmed that Grid was at a loss and waved his hand .  "No, I don’t mean to burden you . It’s too presumptuous to try and start a new relationship with you . Just . . . I just . . . ”

Bubat’s eyes twitched as he recalled the phone call to his wife a moment ago . The shock of his children due to the cruel actions of Zhang Zheng constantly rang in his ears .

" . . . I hope that you don’t lose to that cruel boy . ”

"The person called Zhang Zheng?”

"That's right . Please be careful . If that type of person wins over you . . . ”

It would no longer be a dream stage for his daughters and other children . Bubat wanted to provide information to help Grid win .

"Don’t be too careless against the rookie .  Zhang Zheng’s armor has an option of reflecting damage by three times . It is dangerous even for you . ”

It was terrible when thinking of Grid’s strong attacks being reflected with three times the damage .  Maybe Grid would lose . Bubat came to Grid because he was concerned .

“Three times the damage reflection . . Hmm, I understand . ”

Grid nodded with a calm expression and passed by Bubat .

Step step .

“ . . . ”

Grid’s footsteps gradually faded away .  He didn’t even bother saying farewell to Bubat . Bubat knew what he did to Grid and the Overgeared members . He couldn’t expect to be greeted with familiarity .  He was standing there quietly when he heard Grid’s voice .

"You are weak . "

“ . . . ”

"As you said, it’s in a one on one match . ”

“ . . . ?”

“If we meet again in a war, I hope that we are no longer enemies . ”

“ . . . Grid . ”

The Overgeared King acknowledged him in a war? Bubat was thrilled . A bright smile appeared on his gloomy face .

*** 

The PvP round of 32 passed quickly .  The relatively weak people were dropped out and only the qualified people advanced to the round of 16 .

There was also Sword Saint Kraugel .  He met winning candidate Seuron in the round of 32 and defeated Seuron with skills that were more overwhelming than last year .  People took it for granted that Kraugel, who was several times stronger than last year, would win .

On the other hand, Grid was shocked . He was aware that Kraugel was at least 50 levels lower than he was last year .

‘Not even reaching level 300 yet . . . ’

Maybe . Was this Grid’s last chance to win against Kraugel? As time passed, Grid wouldn’t be able to reach this genius . The moment Grid thought this .

Duguen! Duguen!

He couldn’t help smiling . The higher the sky that was Kraugel, the most Grid instinctively felt that he could build a higher tower .

"Hey, Bangzi .  What are you thinking?” (Bangzi = A derogatory word that some Chinese people use for Koreans . )

Zhang Zheng . The Chinese player was Grid’s opponent in the round of 16 .

"Are you thinking of packing up and going home?”

“What bullshit are you saying?”

“ . . . ?”

Zhang Zheng was confused by Grid’s words .  Until now, the ‘existing powerhouses’ tended to cling to their dignity . They didn’t reveal their true colors until they were provoked .  Zhang Zheng enjoyed seeing them lose their patience .  However, Grid cursed easily despite being on a throne .

“I’m not ignoring you just because you’re weak . If you want to be respected, conduct yourself well . ”

Grid belatedly turned off the microphone . Grid scoffed and lay in the capsule, while Zhang Zheng’s face belatedly turned red .

"Bangzi . . . ! This damn Bangzi dares . . . ! Don’t you know who I am?”

Not ignoring him just because he was weak? In other words, Zhang Zheng was weak?

“Asshole!” Zhang Zheng hurriedly lay down in the capsule . He wanted to show Grid the taste of defeat as soon as possible . "Login! Loginnn!”
