Overgeared - Chapter 906

Chapter 906

‘ . . . Danger . ’

The moment that Valhalla of Infinite Affection was shattered, the clone felt a dark emotion for the first time since his birth . Feelings of insecurity and fear dominated him .

‘Lost armor . Can’t be repaired . ’

[You have suffered catastrophic damage!]

[Activating the protection sequence based on your birth . For the next five seconds, health is fixed to a minimum and you can’t die . ’

Grid’s sword pierced him again, and the clone groaned . “Ah . . . ”

The terrible pain made his mind and body tremble .

‘Destruction?’

He didn’t want that . He didn’t want to disappear .

“Blackening!” The clone barely managed to cry out, with blood pouring out from his mouth . He had to destroy Grid and take Grid’s place . Surrounding by demonic magic, the clone’s skin started to whiten and his black hair grew longer .

[Your physical abilities have increased greatly . ]

[The fusion skill Linked Revolve has been opened . ]

[The fusion skill Transcended Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle has been opened . ]

[Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Splendor has been opened . ]

The clone had copied Grid’s physical abilities when he entered the Behen Archipelago . Then while living in hell, the clone had hunted and raised his level, exceeding level 400 . His stats experienced the fourth awakening, but it wasn’t an overwhelming development compared to the stats that Grid enjoyed from making items .

However, the proficiency of his swordsmanship was different . The clone only relied on Pagma’s Swordsmanship, unlike Grid who obtained the power of the Hero King and the sword technique of the Undefeated King . His swordsmanship was developed to a higher level than Grid’s, and he was able to use a variety of sword dances . It was only possible when he used Blackening to enhance his physical abilities .

“Pagma’s Swordsmanship . ” That’s right . In order to acquire new fusion skills and sword dances, Grid had to raise his stats . This showed that leveling up was more important than he thought .  “Transcended Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle . ”

“ . . . !?” Grid felt that the clone was finally coming .  The clone used Blackening and sublimated his movements before using the five fusion sword dance .  Dozens of energy blades appeared continuously .  

“Transcended Link!” Grid tried to intercept them, but it was impossible . It was because the dozens of energy blades flying toward Grid scattered all over the place .

“ . . . !?” Grid was confused as the dozens of energy blades disappeared from sight .

“Master!” Noe’s desperate shout rang out .  The Blade Aiming at the Gods suddenly changed its course and flew over Grid’s head .

‘This . . . !’ The frightened Grid raised his head toward the sky .  He saw the energy blades filling the sky . It was an amazing sight, much like an aurora was unfolding .

“Revolve!” It was in the realm of instinct . Grid was surprised because the power of the five fusion sword technique was greater than he had imagined .  The dozens of energy blades spread out in the sky fell toward Grid’s head as the Pinnacle part of the sword dance .

“Lephel’s Embrace!” Euphemina used a skill that she had saved . Lephel was an indigenous god that monks served, and she asked him to protect Grid from the energy blades .

“Arrow Rail!” Jishuka fired dozens of arrows over Grid’s head . This was also a defense skill . Jishuka wanted the barrier of arrows to guard Grid .

“Your Majesty!”

“Grid!”

Lauel unfolded wind magic to alter the trajectory of the sword, attempting to weaken the power . Meanwhile, Peak Sword tried to intercept the energy blades . However, it was wishful thinking .  The attack power of Transcended Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle transcended the power of the skills used by the 10 meritorious retainers . It seemed to scorn the 10 meritorious retainers as the heavy rain of energy blades poured toward Grid’s head .  Grid was already using Revolve, and the rotating sword swallowed up the energy blades pouring from the sky .  Still, it was only partially effective . It was impossible to counterattack against the dozens of falling energy blades with a single move .

“Cough!” Covered in blood, Grid fell to his knees .  Some energy blades that entered the area around him were shot back toward the clone .

“Ohhh!” The spectators let out cheers . They knew that Grid was aiming for mutual destruction with the clone .  

However, the clone wasn’t an easy opponent .  “Revolve . ” 

It was using the same counterattack as Grid to return the attacks to Grid . . . ? The viewers thought that Grid was going to die alone .

“Revolve!” Then another Grid besides the real Grid and the clone appeared . It was Randy .  Randy used the counterattack against the counterattack, threatening the clone .  In the past, the clone had summoned another Randy, just like Grid .

“Pagma’s Swordsmanship . ” The clone’s Randy had died the day that the clone fell into hell . Right now, the clone was alone .  “Linked Revolve . ”

Counterattacks were activated continuously! The energy blades that were strengthened by the consecutive counterattacks flew toward Grid .  

[You have lost more than 70% of your maximum health . ]

[The First King title effect is activated . ]

[A protective shield containing the health that was lost in the last minute has been created . For the duration of the shield, terrain adaptability will increase by 100% while movement speed and defense will increase by 10% . ]

“Keuk . . . !” Grid stood at the crossroads of life and death .  

[You have suffered catastrophic damage!]

[A legend doesn’t die easily . You can resist all attacks for 5 seconds with a minimum of health . ]

Of course, it was still too early to give up . Five seconds was great . Grid had just entered the immortal state while the clone’s immortality was coming to an end .

“Blackening!” Grid felt hope and raised all his power .

“Linked Kill Wave . ” The clone unleashed a menacing attack .

“Freely Move!” Grid used the skill that avoided all non-targeted skills and approached the clone .  “Drop!”

The attack that was triggered instantly threatened the clone .  Grid saw a chance to win until the God Hands interfered! 

“ . . . !?” 

Drop didn’t get triggered because the God Hands flew over and restrained both of Grid’s arms .

“You . . . !” Grid was completely captured by the four God Hands and completely lost his freedom . His arms were spread open like he was nailed to a cross .  The clone’s ability to control the God Hands was several times higher than Grid’s ability .

“I am you,” the clone’s creepy voice entered the ears of the captured Grid . Grid realized that the clone wanted to completely usurp his existence . He was absolutely horrified that the clone had evolved like this and was threatening now him .

“You . . . ” Grid was certain . “You must die!”

Only the clone’s complete disappearance would guarantee his safety .  Grid determined this with murderous eyes .  Simultaneously, a smile appeared on the clone’s face . Yes, it was an obvious smile .  “You are the one who will die . ”

The clone was evolving even at this moment . In the process of feeling fearful toward death and feeling the joy of being liberated from death, the clone could experience various emotions . Now he was truly dreaming .

“I am Grid . ” 

“ . . . !” 

Failure pierced Grid’s heart .

Ttang! Ttang!

Then the clone took out the hammer and hit Failure several times, transforming Failure into the Enlightenment Sword .

“Four seconds,” he stated as he pressed the Enlightenment Sword deeper into Grid’s heart . “Three seconds . ”

It was the remaining time of Grid’s immortality .  The clone knew that Grid would die very soon . He believed that if he held onto until the end of Grid’s immortality, he would surely win . Of course, variables existed .

“Take your hands off him right now!” Asmophel and the 10 meritorious retainers cried out . All of them bombarded the clone to get him away from Grid .

However, the clone still had a trump card .  “Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Splendor . ”

Flash! A brilliant white light emerged from the sword piercing Grid’s heart, causing the 10 meritorious retainers and Asmophel to become ‘blinded . ’

“One second . ”

This was the end .  The clone predicted Grid’s death . He glanced at the future that he would replace . The God Hands tightened their grip on Grid’s arms, forcing him to be still .

“Result . Your death . ”

The clone used Kill .

“ . . . !?”

There was another flash of light that disturbed their vision as the sound of skin, flesh, and bones being pierced was heard . The flash was from the linked attacks of the light elemental and the Blade Aiming at the Gods .  Yes . . .

“Cough!” The one coughing up the blood was the clone, not Grid . Unlike the predictions of the onlookers, the clone was the one falling down .

“Do you also have the Rune of Darkness?” Grid freed himself from the God Hands that were confused after their master fell .

“ . . . ” The clone didn’t answer . He just knelt down and coughed up blood .  

Grid asked again, “Had I used the power of the rune, would you have copied this power like you did with the armor and sword?”

“ . . . ”

“Wily guy . ”

It would be a lie to say that Grid felt no sympathy for the clone .  Grid felt uncomfortable as he thought of the loneliness and confusion that the clone, who had been born to kill Grid, would’ve felt .  However, the clone was a threat to Grid and his kingdom . Setting compassion aside, the clone was an opponent that must be killed .  Grid struck the clone’s throat . After losing his armor, the clone was infinitely weakened, and Grid determined that this was the end .  

. . . At least, until the Guardian’s Necklace and Guardian’s Bracelet that the clone wore luckily activated the Indomitable effect .
