Overgeared - Chapter 772

Chapter 772

"Waaaaahhhhh!"

"Grid finally did it!”

“The best! Always exciting!”

“Keok! God Grid . . . ! I love you, God Grid!!”  

It was strange and proud to see Grid on the podium higher than Kraugel .  He broke Kraugel, who’d reigned supreme .  In the past two years, he’d led South Korea to the second rank despite it being known for being weak in Satisfy . Now he gave them the honor of being the top country this year .

It was natural for the Korean players to feel unlimited gratitude and respect for him .  Even Eat Spicy Jokbal, who hated Grid on the surface, was thrilled . He realized there was still deep patriotism in his heart and embraced Peak Sword .

"You should try and persuade Princess to join the Overgeared Guild . ” Viola said with a scolding expression .

On the monitor, Grid was being interviewed .

"Just like anyone who played Satisfy, Kraugel was an idol and goal for me . I heard his heroic stories and burned with fighting spirit when hearing his saga . Then I worked hard . This is the result . ”

Grid stopped speaking and looked at Kraugel, who was also surrounded by reporters . Grid’s eyes were no different than before .

“Thanks to Kraugel, I was able to reach where I am now . Kraugel will forever be my idol and competitor . ”

Grid closed his eyes and took a deep breath .  He recalled everything that happened in reality and in Satisfy as he struggled at the bottom before he reached the peak . He opened his eyes and smiled at the hundreds of cameras focused on him . He already organized his thoughts .

"And . . . the best capsules are from the Comet Group . ”

Grid still had the sponsorship of the Comet Group this year . The most important point was that the Comet Group’s sales jumped thanks to Grid . Grid’s words had a bigger impact on sales than the combination of TV, Internet, and newspaper ads .  All the Comet Group employees felt unlimited gratitude and affection for Grid . The chairman of the Comet Group had a plan to marry his youngest daughter to Grid . But the youngest daughter of the Comet Group stubbornly refused . The world’s best women, Yura and Jishuka, were standing by Grid’s side . She wasn’t a match for Grid when she was just a rich daughter .

Overall, it was a friendly atmosphere .

"Then . . . what about next year?”

“Yes . Just imagine the hell . ”

"What can we do? We just have to give up . ”

Chris, Damian, Pon, Regas, Katz, etc .  They felt despair because they knew Grid’s power . They didn’t have a sense of how to win against Grid, who thanks to winning this year’s PvP, would appear as the Hero next year .

"Infinite stiffness is the default and his God Hands can turn into all types of items .

“Blackening and Belial’s Power . . . ”

"How can we beat Grid’s Enlightenment Sword?”

"I don’t want him to summon Iyarugt . Maybe we can win in two years?”

“ . . . ”

Was it possible to beat him after two years? No one was sure .  They didn’t say it, but they already knew the answer . They wouldn’t participate in next year’s Breaking the Hero . That was the easiest thing to do .

“Are you going back to South Korea?”

“Yes . I want to eat the rice that my mother prepares . ”

" . . . A mother’s cooking . I'm envious . ”

“Eh? Kraugel, don’t you live with your mother? What? Is your mother sick again?”

“No . Don’t take my words seriously . ”

Tokyo Dome had been the stage of the National Competition for the third year .  After the closing ceremony, Grid and Kraugel were sitting side by side on the empty stands . Both of them were illuminated by the dim lighting .

"In the future, your area of activities will be wider . ”

“Isn’t it the same for you?”

"I’m an individual and you’re a king . You will obtain more information and visit more places . ”

"Huhu, are you nervous? You don't have to worry . Don’t I also have to shoulder the responsibility of a king? I will be going forward with heavy footsteps while you will have a light gait . ”

" . . . Let’s not keep talking about this . Grid, remember one thing . ”

“What is it?”

Kraugel’s eyes were very dignified .  What did he want to say? Grid’s smiling face went away . He took a serious listening attitude .

Kraugel started talking .  "If you visit the East Continent as a king, you will certainly be intertwined with the Hwan Kingdom . ”

Kraugel also had eyes and ears .  He visited the East Continent much earlier than Grid and knew roughly what Grid had gone through on the continent . However, he didn’t know the detailed information of what Grid had already encountered . He only knew that Grid was active in Pangea and moved some of its residents to the Overgeared Kingdom .

"You should’ve heard about the Hwan Kingdom . They’re the only religion and ruler of the East Continent . ”

“They’re like the Saharan Empire . ”

Kraugel spoke seriously .  It was a story he already knew so he couldn’t take it lightly .  Kraugel shook his head at Grid . "There’s no comparison to the empire . Didn’t I tell you? They’re the only religion and ruler of the East Continent . They’re gods to the people of the East Continent . ”

“ . . . ”

The yangban Garam passed through Grid’s head .  In the meantime, the word ‘yangban’ emerged from Kraugel’s mouth .

“Yangban . . . They aren’t those who fancy themselves as pseudo-gods . They’re the ones who consider themselves as gods because they have the right qualities and skills . ” Kraugel finally cut to the chase . "Don’t mix up with them until you are at least level 500 . If you have to visit the East Continent, then visit it as an individual . I don’t know what will happen if your kingdom gets tied up with the Hwan Kingdom . ”

“What? Are they really dangerous?”

“Strictly speaking, they aren’t evil . But their ideas are different . Think about them as monsters . ”

Grid recalled with Garam was like and fully sympathized with Kraugel . Grid smiled and asked a question, "Are they that strong? It’s enough to make you act like this . ”

Kraugel nodded without hesitation .

“They’re strong . To you right now, they’re a great mountain, another mountain on top of the great mountain and the sky above it . ”

“ . . . ”

Was this referring to the Chiyou test that Garam mentioned? Had Kraugel met up with them? Grid was filled with pure curiosity when he heard Kraugel’s voice .

“But . ”

“ . . . ?”

"They aren’t as strong as Bunhelier . ”

"Huhu . ” Grid understood Kraugel’s meaning and stretched .  “Okay . I understand . I’ll be alert . I can avoid them, but I won’t be daunted by those who aren’t a dragon . "

"I’m glad that you understand . ”

Yes, Grid just had to be alert .  He wouldn’t be involved with those sociopaths unless they were interested first . Grid was strong . Kraugel believed this but he didn’t know Grid had already become a target of a yangban .

“Then I’m going . I’m going home to eat . ”

Grid said farewell with a handshake . He wanted to have a glass of soju with Kraugel, but it wasn’t yet time . The day that he shared a cup with Kraugel . . .

"Three rounds . ”

“ . . . ?”

"A man’s match should be decided in three rounds? I was thinking about it but the first time we fought doesn’t count . ”

“What do you mean by that?”

"It was just after you fought Piaro . Wouldn’t you have won if you were in a normal state?”

“It’s pointless to think this way . I lost at that time . This is the truth . ”

"No, I'm not convinced . ” Grid pulled back his hand . He immediately turned away from Kraugel . "Let’s play the third round in the National Competition next year . Then we will have a cup of soju on that day . ”

“You . . . !”

Grid ignored Kraugel’s cry . He headed straight to the parking lot where Toon was waiting . Grid had noticed . After being freed from his high position, Kraugel was planning to seclude himself from the world . Kraugel would act like he used to and not do public activities again .

"You shouldn’t retire alone . ”

Kraugel must be in Grid’s field of view .  If Grid didn’t see Kraugel, he would feel insecure . Grid had to confirm whether Kraugel was still behind him or had already gone ahead .

"Just relax and continue to play against me, Kraugel . ”

There were many ways to invalidate the three rounds .  Grid had overwhelmingly conditions not just in the first round, but the second and third as well . It was too unfair .

A huge smile .  Toon jumped as he saw Grid smiling in the middle . It was because Grid was making a different expression from normal . He seemed like a completely different person from this morning .

‘The best . . . ’

A warrior became a blacksmith, joined the Tzedakah Guild, became the master of the Overgeared Guild, and eventually became the king of the Overgeared Kingdom .  His evolution was still ongoing .  What would Grid look like a year from now? Toon was full of expectations when he suddenly received a call .

" . . . What?”

It was the worst news .  Toon paled and looked back . Grid was so tired that he had fallen asleep .

"Did something happen?” The driver asked .

"Go to the airport instantly . ” Toon urged . He prayed eagerly for Grid to be having a good dream .

***

Let’s go back in time . It was time for the PvP finals between Grid and Kraugel to start .

“It’s here . ”

Veradin led the elites of Immortal and stood in front of the smithy in the center of Reinhardt .  It was a huge smithy . No, to be exact, it was a smithy complex . There were five smithies in the center of Reinhardt that could accommodate at least 30 furnaces . The alarming part was that there were many smithies still under construction .

"Reinhardt is said to be a city without a night and it’s all because of the smithies . ”

The necromancers of Immortal clicked their tongues . On the other hand, Veradin was smiling .

'Grid will be quite angry if all the smithies here are burned . ’

The legendary farmer Piaro, who lived in Siren, had disappeared after the vampire expedition . Grid’s first knight Jude was still in Bairan . In addition, the great magician Ashur was guarding the border .  

Grid’s three heavenly kings weren’t in Reinhardt .  He was sure of it since it was information received from Empress Marie .  In addition, the National Competition was now occurring .  Most of the Overgeared members who were supposed to replace the three heavenly kings were mostly away . It was obvious that Reinhardt’s defenses were weak at this time .

"But shouldn’t I be careful? First of all, I will assassinate Khan who is the target . ”

Sururuk .

He secretly summoned a death knight in the darkness . It was a death knight made from the corpse of the assassin who was called ‘reaper in the dark . ’ Veradin’s heart pounded .  There was a need to weaken the power of the Overgeared Kingdom for the future of Immortal .  He led the elites of Immortal for this reason .  

This incident would make Grid furious .  What would happen when he found out Agnus was behind it? It was obvious . Grid would be filled with killing intent .  What would Agnus look like in a dire crisis? Veradin was curious as well . He wanted to observe all aspects of the madman .

That’s right .  Like Lauel said in the past, Veradin wasn’t loyal to Agnus . Agnus was just an interesting experiment . Grid was selected as a sacrifice for the experiment .
