Overgeared, page 353
“If I can’t reproduce the strongest attack power because of the patch, then I will show the strongest defense. I will thoroughly use this patch to look much better than last year.”
Grid’s remark from the press conference entered his mind. That’s right. Bubat never even imagined it. Grid hadn’t even pulled out Three Layers yet. Grid aimed a finger at the confused Bubat’s forehead.
“Magic Missile.”
Magic Missile (Enhanced) constantly gained proficiency in the Behen Archipelago, but it was still level 2. The experience was only at 60%. The proficiency gain rate of legendary skills was the worst.
On the other hand, the damage of the legendary magic was strong. It ignored the enemy’s magic resistance and dealt damage equal to twice Grid’s current magic power. Grid was still wearing the Holy Light set, meaning his intelligence was increased by 200 due to the Holy Light Crown. The elixirs also increased his intelligence by 400.
Bubat was surprised by the high damage.
Peeng!
“Ugh!”
Bubat’s head snapped back after he was hit by Magic Missile. Looking at the blue sky, Bubat was convinced that the situation was the worst. Notification windows appeared in front of Grid.
[Critical!]
[The option effect of Iyarugt has caused the target to bleed.]
[The 3rd combo has been achieved!]
[The option effect of Iyarugt maximizes the bleeding of the target. The damage done to the target will increase by 200% for 1 second.]
Grid attacked during this gap. It was Pinnacle Kill.
[Pinnacle Kill]
An attack that completely ignores the target’s defense and deals 2,000% of your attack power.
* The sword can change orbit in the middle, making it hard to deal with.
Seokeok!
“Kuaaaack!”
Just like most tankers, Bubat invested his stat points into stamina, and his agility was very low. However, he hardly ever encountered inconveniences due to low agility. Was it sometimes difficult to respond to enemy attacks because of low agility?
It didn’t matter. His defense was high, so he could endure it. But Grid’s attacks were an exception. They hurt. He struck continuously and eventually linked Hell Sword.
It was a legendary attack skill attached to Iyarugt. It was another star. It happened in less than a minute.

Chapter 414
『 Bubat has been logged out! 』
Criticisms towards Bubat flooded in as he died.
The Turkish people were disappointed by his pathetic ability that allowed Grid’s attacks.
–There are a large number of allies, so it’s natural to tank while your allies deal damage to the enemies.
–What type of tanker challenges a person to a one-on-one battle?
–Bubat lacks one-on-one experience. Seriously the worst.
–Basically, Grid is the strongest. How did such a monster appear in a small and weak Satisfy country like South Korea? I’m sick because we have been grabbed by South Korea two years in a row.
–This year, the one with the lowest ranking seems to be Turkey.
–Won’t Bubat lose his sponsors soon?
“…”
The logged out Bubat couldn’t raise his head. He was afraid to return to Turkey. On the other hand, Grid remained on the battlefield and was still admiring it.
‘It’s a huge passive skill.’
Grid confirmed the damage of Pinnacle and decided that it was possible to finish off Bubat with Pinnacle Kill. But he was wrong. Pinnacle Kill did much less damage than expected. It was presumed that Bubat had a passive skill where ‘only a % of the maximum health’ was decreased by a strong blow.
‘If his armor was unsealed, it would’ve taken much longer.’
Grid had the Blacksmith’s Eyes skill.
He could check the information of an item if he looked at it for three seconds. This could be a double-edged sword.
It was because the item information window interfered with his field of view.
Anyway, Grid learned one thing through the Blacksmith’s Eyes. Bubat’s armor was currently sealed and couldn’t perform at its full capabilities.
‘The undefeated king.’
Was he also one of the nine legends? Grid’s expression wasn’t good as he moved. He spent longer than expected dealing with Bondre and Bubat.
‘I feel like my luck is really bad.’
There was one reason why Grid used the Holy Light set instead of the newly created equipment, including Three Layers and Lantier’s Cloak. He was hoping to trigger the 5 Joint Attacks skill attached to the Holy Light Gloves. If 5 Joint Attacks was activated, Grid would be able to deal with the enemy faster because he could deal five times as much damage.
However, the problem was that it wasn’t activated. Since he entered the Behen Archipelago until now, the number of times 5 Joint Attacks was activated had significantly decreased. Grid felt like his odds when it came to games of luck was becoming worse.
‘I am angry.’
He wanted to make an item that would increase his luck.
‘…Eh? Isn’t this good?’
It was better than the good luck state in many ways. In an extreme example, if he wore items that increased luck, he could increase the chances of producing higher rated items. Grid thought such things while moving to save the Korean team.
At this moment. He didn’t show any signs of nerves, despite the Korean team being in a crisis.
Why?
He believed in his companions.
The reason why Grid decided on this high risk operation, which was to immediately attack the targets and attract the aggro of the enemies, was because he trusted in Yura and Peak Sword’s abilities.
***
4 minutes after the commencement of the target processing.
While Grid was defeating Bondre and Bubat in succession, the Korean team was struggling against the allied teams.
“Fire Wall!”
“Multi Shot.”
The archer Jonghwa and the magician Sumin didn’t consider their mana, trying their best to tie up the feet of the enemies while the tailor Jinhee did his best to set up a protective tent. The tanker Kyunghoon used skills to slow down the enemies’ advance.
But they were weak. They were at least 40 levels lower than the other players, making it impossible to endure.
“Shit, when is Grid coming?”
Park Jonghwa said nervously.
He had a negative impression of this plan from the beginning, so he couldn’t help grumbling. He fired his arrows relentlessly, but there wasn’t a single enemy who collapsed. His weak arrows couldn’t penetrate the enemies’ defenses.
“Ugh!”
Rather, his wounds increased due to the counterattacks. His health had already fallen to a risky level. He would’ve died sooner if it wasn’t for the 50% reduced PvP damage patch. Sumin’s mana reached the bottom.
“I can’t use magic anymore…”
“Shit! Hey, Jinhee! Haven’t you completed the tent yet?”
“I-I’m sorry. I think it will take 3 more minutes.”
“This… Ugh!”
Ku tang tang tang!
Kyunghoon barely blocked an attack with his shield and went flying. The person who blew him away was Australia’s leading ranker, Luca.
“Stop the senseless resistance. Aren’t you just tiring yourselves out in this attempt to buy time?”
Luca was 80th on the unified rankings and had a third advancement class. The Korean team members couldn’t go against him. He faced them with cold eyes.
‘The end.’
Park Jonghwa thought with frustration.
“Our goal is to win, not buy time.”
Yura was handling the targets with her rifle while being protected by her team members. This time, she was the one protecting her team members. Luca looked at her and laughed.
“I wondered what type of hidden class you got after disappearing from the rankings, but it was just a gunman?”
Gunman, a hidden class. One of their advantages was that they used a rifle, which had a longer attack distance and more powerful attacks than archers. They had the highest attack power among physical damage dealers.
But the weakness was clear. They had low health and defense, and their evasion rate was ridiculously low. They didn’t have as many utility skills as magicians. It was safe to say that once they allowed the enemies to approach, they would die.
For Luca, a gunman was just good prey.
“I don’t like the pretty faces of Asian people, so I will use this opportunity to trample on it.”
Luca grinned and rushed towards Yura. His speed was very fast. His defense and evasion was great, so he avoided any fatal blows from the few shots fired by Yura.
“Yura!”
The South Korean team was desperate. It was the same for all Koreans watching the game. They didn’t want to see the goddess of Korea being trampled on. Did their wish reach the sky?
Yura didn’t panic. She avoided Luca’s attack and cut at him. Yes, it was a cut. From a gunman.
“W-What is this?”
Luca’s eyes widened as he felt terrible pain.
***
“Draw Sword.”
The moment that Peak Sword placed his hand on his sheath. Ten team members jumping at him flinched back. Peak Sword normally seemed stupid, but his presence was different on the battlefield.
“Annihilate.”
Flash!
It was well known that Peak Sword had cut apart dozens of enemies during the Silver Knights war with Japan’s Sakura Guild over Cork Island. That famous story was now being reproduced in the eyes of the world.
Seokeok!
Peak Sword felt the ultimate pleasure at his Draw Sword. By using the shortest distance from the sheath to the attack point, the enemy couldn’t recognize it.
“Eh…?”
Kukukukukung!
There was a flash and everyone in front of Peak Sword collapsed. The rankers felt a chill.
[You have suffered 13,520 damage.]
[You have suffered 12,144 damage.]
[You have suffered 9,050 damage.]
[You have suffered 8,600….]
…
…
“Ugh!”
“Cough!”
The pain came late.
‘How can a ranged skill do so much damage…?’
The rankers suffered serious damage from the strikes and couldn’t believe it. However, Peak Sword wasn’t satisfied with his own attack.
‘Damn, the effect of the patch is too great.’
The only advantage of his class with a long attack delay was the power of his strikes. It was worth it since one attack could deal a fatal blow to the enemies. However, in the National Competition, Peak Sword couldn’t exert his original strength and the advantage of his class disappeared.
“Hit him!”
“Let’s go!”
The wounded rankers of the allied teams rushed towards Peak Sword. They were aware of the weakness of Peak Sword’s class. Peak Sword couldn’t link an attack until the sword returned to the sheath, so their aim was this defenseless gap.
But Peak Sword’s weapon was made by a legendary blacksmith.
[Ideal Longsword]
Rating: Unique
Durability: 308/308 Attack Power: 680
Attack Speed: +21%
* The skill ‘Wind Blast’ is generated.
* The skill ‘Quick Movements’ is generated.
User Restriction: Level 310 or higher. Advanced Sword Mastery level 5 or higher.
The durability and attack power was lacking compared to the same unique-rated Iyarugt, but it couldn’t be denied that it was one of the best one-handed swords. Furthermore, it was a longsword that maximized the advantages of Grid’s Ideal Dagger.
It was a very suitable weapon for Peak Sword, whose attack speed was important. Furthermore, Grid had prepared another gift for Peak Sword. The gift was a sheath.
[Peak Sword’s Sheath]
* 20% increase in sword drawing speed.
* 40% increase in sword recovering speed.
It was a sheath that used one of the Water Clan King’s Tears that Euphemina obtained in the Siren Kingdom to attach Zednos’ wind magic. A gust of wind occurred to increase the speed of Draw Sword. at the same time, a whirlwind would recover the sword.
“God Grid! I will surely become more overgeared!”
Peak Sword tearfully cried out. The faces of the rankers turned pale at the sight.
‘That recovering speed…’
‘Ridiculously fast!’
The rankers didn’t step back, despite the sight before them exceeding common sense. To be precise, they couldn’t step back. It was already all or nothing with Peak Sword.
“Die!”
“A country weak in Satisfy, you should collapse quickly!”
All types of weapons stabbed at Peak Sword.
Peeeeeong!
The storm surrounded Peak Sword as there was once again a dazzling light.
“Kuaack!”
Peak Sword was thrilled as he confirmed the enemies’ screams and collapse.
‘This is the power of items!’
Overcoming the limitations of his class with items… Peak Sword was excited and amazed.
At the same time.
“T-The sky above the sky…!”
While South Korea and the allied teams were fighting chaotically on one side of Tira, Kraugel was in full swing elsewhere.
Chapter 415
Chapter 415
Tira had three mountains.
The highest mountain was 723 meters above sea level and was the closest area to the sky. There was no better place to aim for the targets moving around in the sky. The team that won this spot?
The United States. This was the inevitable result. The seven US representatives were all third advancement classes and had the best names.
1st among the 10 Rookies, a Genius among Geniuses, Grid’s Brain, Chunni… Lauel had many titles, and even he was merely ordinary in the US team. They had many business cards among them.
‘Lauel, this child.’
Pon, who had been struggling to occupy the highlands, was hit by a landslide and fell down a cliff. The culprit who caused the landslide was Lauel.
“Kuoong.”
Pon barely inserted his spear into the cliff and saved himself from crashing down, but it was dangerous. It wouldn’t be unusual for Pon to be logged out if he fell down.
{Attack Zibal… Ugh!}
{This! Zephyr is preventing the use of my skills!}
{Dammit! Skull is behind you!!}
{L-Lauel is causing another landslide…! Kuaaack!}
Pon was isolated and the Spanish team’s party chat window was frenzied. The seven Spanish rankers were strong, but it wasn’t enough against the United States. The average power of the United States was overwhelming.
‘That Lauel, he’s the same as always, but now he is so scary.’
It was unfortunate that they overlapped with the US team.
‘We need to give up on the medal.’
Pon saw his colleagues being logged out one by one and pulled out the spear rammed in the cliff. Then as he fell, he used his last remaining mana to fire a blow. The target was the back of Zibal’s head at the top of the mountain.
“I will make you a friend on my journey.”
Pajik! Pajijik!
Lightning formed around the red spear held in Pon’s hand. It was the precursor of Rail Spear, which used electromagnetic force to shoot the spear faster than the speed of sound.
Kurururung!
The cliff where countless joys and sorrows were taking place. Light shone in that dark place and a thunderous roar was heard. The moment the sound was heard, the spear was already almost at Zibal’s head.
“What?”
Zibal’s eyes widened.
“Dragon Claws. Wind Dragon’s Roar.”
Kurururung!
Lauel considered Pon’s nature and predicted this situation, using two skills at the same time to protect Zibal. He summoned a wind to slow down the speed of the Rail Spear, then caused the ground to raise, creating a barrier to block the weakened Rail Spear.
But it was useless. The power of the Rail Spear was too strong. It simply tore down the wind and earth barrier in its way. Lauel failed to protect Zibal and Zibal received a big blow. He would need to withdraw from battle for a while.
“Poooooon!”
“…Hat! Hahahahat!”
Zibal’s shriek of rage was heard from the top of the mountain, while Pon laughed loudly from the bottom. This battlefield was becoming more intense.
***
『 Pon has been logged out! The Spanish team has been annihilated! 』
『 Spain couldn’t win against the United States. The United States is really strong! I can guarantee that the United States is the strongest at team events! 』
At the start of the event, the Korean team and the teams that allied against them were struggling against each other. The Brazil team, led by Jishuka, moved secretly and reached the depths of the northern forest.
“Is there a need to fight? You shouldn’t forget the fundamental purpose of shooting the target.”
Pepeng!
Pepepepeng!
Truly a godly archer. Jishuka fired without a break, quickly taking care of the flying targets in the area. Jishuka handled several more targets and asked the team members.
“Huhu, how about it? Aren’t we first?”
“Of course! Eh?”
A Brazilian ranker responded and then checked the scoreboard, only to feel shocked. No matter how they looked at it, the score was strange. Jishuka became anxious when she saw him stiffen and checked the scoreboard. Then she was shocked.
1st. South Korea – 41 points.
2nd. Brazil – 23 points.
3rd. United States – 18 points.
4th. Russia – 11 points.
…
…
“What… What?”
How could Korea flourish, despite being the target of various teams from the beginning? The confused Jishuka burst out laughing.
‘The God Hands.’
Grid was facing the allied teams, while the God Hands were destroying the targets in the sky. The God Hands were very simple and easy to control, so it was possible.
