Overgeared - Chapter 775

Chapter 775

Chapter 775

Muller, Pagma, Braham, Madra, Lantier, Povia, Kruger, Gis, and Alex .

The name of the nine former legends .  Most players were aware of them . It was because the former legends occupied a large amount of Satisfy’s worldview .  But what about other legends? The legends before the previous generation? They were unknown .  It was virtually impossible for a player to collect the information of all the legends in the past . It was because a person who was too far in the past wouldn’t be mentioned well in history .

Pokibun, Ten, Arin . . . They were legends in the distant past that not much was known about . But Kasim was well aware of the former legend, Lantier . His master often told the story .

The introduction was too long . Faker avoided the attacks of the death knight Kyleo and skeleton knight while paying attention to Kasim .

"First of all, can you save Khan?”

-My teacher also used the name Lantier .

“ . . . ?”

-Lantier isn’t the name of an individual .  It’s the title given to the head of Eclipse, a shadow group that existed for over a thousand years .  We . . . the teacher who taught Doran and I was the 32nd Lantier .  Do you understand?

Puok!

Kyleo’s dagger was deeply embedded in Faker’s shoulder . Faker was in pain but the skeleton knight protected Kyleo against his counterattacks . Kasim’s explanation continued .

-From now on, I will give you the techniques meant for a legendary assassin .  Of course, it isn’t complete .  Many years passed and many techniques were lost .

This strength .

-Will it raise you to the legendary status or will you stay at the same level as me, Doran, and our teacher? It’s purely up to you .

Chaaeng! Chaeng!

Why was Kasim doing this? Didn’t Kasim know what Khan meant to Grid? Faker grumbled about Kasim, rather then rejoicing at receiving the forerunner of a very important hidden quest . He put Khan’s safety higher than his development . He wanted to stop Kasim, even if it meant not receiving the hidden quest .

“Kasim . . . !”

Faker urged Kasim to move .

-Don’t fret . I will arrive soon .

Kasim’s words were meaningful .

"I will compliment you on your diligence . ”

Veradin’s voice was heard at the same time .  Faker was unable to exert his full strength due to Tower of Command and was imprisoned by the skeleton knight . He sensed his death when he saw Kyleo’s dagger flying .

Veradin .  He had a high level of survival and dominance stat that made it hard to see him as a normal necromancer . He dealt painful despair to Faker .  Faker realized it since he stabbed Veradin with Moon Sting . Veradin still had a lot of hidden power left . Veradin was several levels higher than Faker . Maybe Immortal was more terrifying than the Overgeared Kingdom thought?

‘I’m sorry, Khan . ’

Kyleo’s dagger entered Faker’s field of view .  It wasn’t just the shape of the blade . The snake scales embossed on the green handle were clearly marked in his eyes .  Now Faker was going to die . Faker demonstrated transcendent concentration . His thinking power transcended the speed of time .

Gulp!

Just before the dagger stabbed between his eyes .  Faker swallowed a small drug that he had inserted in the gap of his molars .  It was the ‘Assassin’s Mindset’ that he obtained from a hidden quest in the past .  A person who swallowed the drug would immediately explode when they activated it, ‘instantaneously’ targeting the enemy within 2 meters .

However, the death penalty increased by three times .  It meant that the user lost three times more experience and had a triple chance to drop items .  In short, it was crazy .  It was something that shouldn’t be used unless the person was willing to quit the game .

However, Faker swallowed it without hesitation . It was purely to increase Khan’s chances of survival . If he were to die and the death knight and skeleton knight freed, Sua and the Red Phoenix Group wouldn’t be able to deal with the remaining enemies to save Khan .

Then .

Puhahahak!

Faker’s shadow started rising like a waterfall .  It was the moment when King of Shadows Kasim appeared . He used Shadow Move several times to travel from the royal palace where Lord and Irene lived and rose from Faker’s back, stabbing at Kyleo with his dagger .

“Cough!”

"Awful people . You deserve this . ”

Faker smiled as he confirmed Kasim’s appearance .

Veradin was baffled .  “Who are you?”

Faker, the Red Phoenix Group, and now Kasim .  Veradin gritted his teeth at the people that kept appearing .

"Don’t disturb us!” Veradin screamed .

Kyleo and the skeleton knight attacked Kasim in response to Veradin’s order .  Kyleo was releasing more poison than before . Veradin’s mana was quickly consumed . His mana potions couldn’t keep up with the speed of mana consumption .  This wasn’t what Veradin intended . Kyleo was running wild .

Why? Veradin still had dominance remaining . The moment the question popped into Veradin’s mind .

Chaaeng! Chaeng!

Kasim swung his dagger just as fast as Faker and more vicious than Kyleo . Then the shadows at the feet of Kyleo and the skeleton knight rose .

Puoook!

Kwajajajak!

“What . . . ?”

Veradin’s face turned white . Kyleo’s health feel sharply as he was penetrated by the shadow spear while the skeleton knight turned to ashes .

Kiik . . . ! Kiiiing!

Kyleo’s runaway condition was getting out of control . He waved his sword randomly, speaking in an odd voice as he emitted a huge amount of poison .  Why?

Kasim answered . “This guy, he still has the memory of being murdered by me?”

“ . . . !!!”

Veradin was shocked . He knew the end of Kyleo so he finally realized Kasim’s identity .

“King of Shadows!”

The strongest assassin currently in existence . His presence across all the shadows of the world was a death sentence that couldn’t be avoided .

“Shadow Soldiers . ”

He was as majestic as any other king with his 100,000 shadow soldiers .

"Not a target . . . ” Veradin muttered with a confused expression .  Why was such a big monster in the Overgeared Kingdom? He shook with fear as he felt doubts . The huge smithy was already filled with hundreds of thousands of shadow soldiers .

"W-What is this?"

“Eh . . . ? Eh eh? Aaaack!”

The screams of the necromancers belonging to Immortal rang out .  The number of dead bodies increased .  Kasim’s shadows were a perfect counter to the necromancers who specialized in a large number of troops . The necromancers were overwhelmed with numbers and were helpless .

Seokeok!

Chukakakakak!

The dozens of ghouls and skeleton knights were shattered by the shadow swords and spears flying in all directions .  In the center of the smithy covered by darkness, Kasim handed a booklet to Faker .  It was a booklet containing Lantier’s knowledge .

"This is what Doran inherited from Teacher . The skills couldn’t be succeeded with my talent and emotions . But it might be possible for you . ” Kasim had been watching Faker for the several years that he guarded Lord . He saw that Faker’s talent transcended himself .  “For you, this power is just the beginning . First of all, go beyond Doran . And . . . ”

Kasim’s sharp eyes focused on Veradin .  Veradin made a quick judgment and was running away .  It was stupid . Didn’t he realized he had received a death sentence he couldn’t escape from?

Kasim scoffed .

" . . . And then succeed my skills . ”

The moment that Doran’s skills and Kasim’s skills combined, Lantier’s techniques would be completed .  The path to being a legend would open .  Despite being a normal class player, Faker had wings as he defeated a sun grade player .  But Faker pushed the joy back . He didn’t even examine the contents of the hidden quest as he ran to Khan .  

"I will thank you next time . ”

They were family living in the same house anyway . They could meet at any time .  Faker lightly nodded to Kasim and took Khan to escape the smithy . He headed towards Sticks . Then Kasim . . .

Puhahahak!

Shadows appeared at Veradin’s feet and immediately spread like water .  Veradin used the hidden technique ‘Overcoming Death’ to endure Kasim’s attacks several times, but it didn’t make sense .  It would take him 18 hours to re-summon Death Knight Kyleo, who just died . Even if Kyleo was summoned, he couldn’t win .

In the end, Veradin fell to his knees and laughed .  He seemed to have ulterior motives . But Kasim didn’t show any interest . Veradin saw the dagger heading towards him and hurriedly shouted .

“You’re going to regret killing me!”

“Why?”

Kasim finally showed some interest and Veradin explained, “Do you think I would’ve invaded this place without any insurance? If I die, the queen and prince might not be safe . ”

Of course, it was a bluff .  Even Veradin wouldn’t dare harm Irene or Lord . They were Grid’s family, but they weren’t excluded from the target list because of a moral issue . They were excluded because Veradin knew they would always be protected .  But there was no reason to tell the truth . Veradin didn’t want to receive the death penalty . The penalty for Veradin was different from an ordinary player .

“Really? You sent troops to Queen Irene and Prince Lord?”

"Of course . It is a power that consists of 20 death knights . If I die, then they won’t be safe . . . ”

Veradin didn’t change his expression when lying, only to suddenly stop talking . It was because Kasim was laughing . He was holding his belly and laughing .

‘Did I exaggerate too much?’

20 death knights was too much . It was obviously an exaggeration . He should’ve said 10 . Veradin was uneasy .

“The 20 death knights . . . By now, they would’ve all returned to dust . ”

There were 200 Rebecca’s Daughters candidates around Lord . Even if there really was a group of death knights, they were no match against the Rebecca’s Daughters candidates . In the first place, Kasim knew that Irene and Lord were safe . That’s why he came to support Faker . If there was the slightest risk, he wouldn’t have left them .

Puok!

Kasim’s blade stabbed his heart .

[You have died . ]

[You have lost 32 . 3% experience . ]

[Your death has caused all the conditions to become a Hwan Kingdom resident to be lost . You have lost all the additional effects you have obtained in the meantime . In order to get the effects back, you must meet the criteria again from the beginning . ]

It was huge damage . It had been almost a year since he died .  Veradin experienced the biggest frustration since Satisfy began . He missed his target, Khan, and only killed a few young blacksmiths .

At the same time, in Sticks’ office .

"I need to go to the elf kingdom to obtain an antidote to cure this poison . I will hurry, so wait here . ”

"Isn’t it faster if you bring Khan with you?”

"Many procedures are needed for a person to enter the elf kingdom . I can’t help with this part . "

"Please let me know the exact timing . How long will it take?”

“Six hours . . . no, seven hours . . . ”

"Can’t you do it sooner? Khan's pain is too great . ”

" . . . I will try . ”

Sticks checked Khan and hurried . He disappeared immediately with Teleport .  Faker held his head .  Seven hours? It meant that Khan would experience the severe pain of poisoning for the next seven hours .

Khan spoke to the saddened Faker . “I . . . Take me to the smithy . ”
