Overgeared Chapter 697:
Chapter 697
Grid got a textbook containing the swordsmanship of the Undefeated King! He was impressed by the fact that 100,000 Army Swordsmanship was classified as a legendary skill .
‘It’s legendary despite being a degraded version . . . ’
100,000 Army Swordsmanship was also just the ‘basic swordsmanship’ of Undefeated King Madra . Braham said that Madra’s true value was exerted from at least 500,000 Army Swordsmanship .
‘The more I know about the past legends, the greater they become . ’
Grid recalled when he first assimilated with Braham . Braham used Mana Drain the Sky and forcibly absorbed all the mana from nature . From that time, Grid realized that the current legends weren’t comparable to the previous generation . Even Piaro, one of the strongest people of the present time, wouldn’t be able to withstand a fireball from Braham in his prime .
” . . . That’s why it’s interesting . ”
Satisfy was still in the early stages of its story and it meant there was room for further growth . Grid’s motivation shot up .
‘Let’s catch up with the former legends . ’
No, he would surpass them . Kraugel’s goal was the same . There was no need to delay . Grid was filled with large ambitions as he opened the textbook for 100,000 Swordsmanship . At the same time .
[You are attempting to learn a new swordsmanship technique, 100,000 Army Swordsmanship (Degraded) . ]
[You are someone who has received the recognition of the Undefeated King . You have already achieved the learning condition of 100,000 Army Swordsmanship . ]
[Congratulations! You have succeeded in acquiring the 100,000 Army Blockade Sword (Degraded) and 100,000 Army Massacre Sword (Degraded)!]
[The new skill information can be found in the skills list . ]
“Good!”
Grid immediately opened the skills window . 100,000 Army Massacre Sword sent out 40 attacks per second over a wide range . It was obviously a superior version of Link, so Grid wanted to try it quickly . However .
[100,000 Army Blockade Sword (Degraded) Lv . 1]

“What’s sword energy?”
It said it was possible to learn it, but not how . He had an illusion of the system message moving in front of him .
“ . . . No, is this a joke?”
He couldn’t use a skill that he won in a fair fight after being acknowledged by the opponent?
“Are you kidding me?”
Grid denied reality . He got up and left the study . He headed through the wide corridor towards the palace garden .
“Kyaaak! The Overgeared King!”
“Ohhh! The Overgeared King!”
The maids and gardeners in the garden cheered when they saw Grid . They were glad to have the good fortune of welcoming the world’s most respected king . They held their breaths as Grid pulled out a gorgeous red long sword . The people gathered, regardless of gender, watched Grid with shining eyes . Then Grid . . .
“100,000 Army . ”
Clink!
On one side of the garden . He aimed at the trees and used a skill .
“Massacre Sword!”
“ . . . !”
The dozens of maids and gardeners watching Grid were simultaneously shocked . Their great king was talking about slaughtering 100,000 troops . They were all nervous about what type of swordsmanship would develop . The result?
Hwiiiing~~
Nothing happened . The trees in front of Grid didn’t have a single injury .
[100,000 Army Massacre Sword is a non-activated skill . It has failed . ]
“ . . . ”
Grid, the maids, and the gardeners were silent .
On this day . The rumor that Grid was a chuuni started to spread in the Overgeared Kingdom . 100,000 Army Massacre Sword . Starting with the name, the debut of the strongest skill was the worst .
***
“Ah, it’s seriously nasty . ”
Pagma’s Swordsmanship increased my attack power and chances of a critical hit when deactivated . That’s why Grid’s basic attacks were strong . Grid was sincerely anticipating the power of 100,000 Army Swordsmanship combined with the passive function of Pagma’s Swordsmanship . Yet he couldn’t use it at all?
‘The mana consumption is really high, but what the **** is sword energy?’
Grid was forced to invest points in intelligence but his total mana was still less than 14,000 . 100,000 Army Swordsmanship consumed 5,000 and 8,000 mana and this was a huge burden alone . It was painful that he needed one more unidentified resource .
‘Wow, **** . . . I have the fraudulent skill that causes 60% damage 30 times over a wide area and I can’t use it . . . ’
It was psychologically painful . It felt like he was being tortured . The frustrated Grid was suddenly reminded of Chris .
“Won’t Chris know about sword energy?”
After obtaining the title of Hero King, Grid opened a new resource called fighting energy . It was likely that sword energy was a resource for classes specializing in swordsmanship . And the 1st ranked Chris was a master of the greatsword . After joining Overgeared with the Giant Guild members and becoming a duke, he was one of the people that Grid most relied on .
Grid didn’t hesitate and went to find Chris .
***
Reidan .
A large city that was once the home of the Overgeared Guild, it was now called the second capital of the Overgeared Kingdom . The lord of this place was Chris . He was a player with a natural talent and a good mentor called Zirkan . He was once the leader of the Giant Guild that was part of the Seven Guilds and a strong person in Satisfy . In particular, his strength stat was high enough to overwhelm Grid . After acquiring his second class Tyrant, he had the ability to take away strength from surrounding targets and could exert a destructive power higher than Grid’s Enlightenment Sword .
Who would’ve imagined that the Canadian representative in Satisfy would one day join Grid? The world had been shocked the day Chris bowed to Grid during the founding ceremony . There were many voices shouting that Grid had caught Chris’ weakness and was threatening him .
But the reality was completely different . Chris acknowledged Grid and served Grid of his own free will . Chris was confident that he could be the best if he was with Grid . Anyway, the bottom line was that Chris liked Grid . Except when this happens .
“I also want to use sword energy . ”
“ . . . ”
No, what type of nonsense did he come for? Chris was hunting in a vampire city when his concentration was shattered .
“Sword energy is a unique resource for swordsmen who have earned the title of great swordsman . How can you use it?”
Sakak-!
Chris attacked the true blood vampires on both sides . It was a truly excellent swordsmanship that inspired Grid . Grid felt a cool and stuffy emotion in his chest when he saw Chris’ exciting swordsmanship after a long time .
“You really do know about sword energy . I need to obtain sword energy . How do I get it?”
Puk .
Puuoook!
Kwaaaang!
Grid struck the true blood vampire four times per second and then killed it with a black flame explosion . Chris was speechless for a moment .
‘This is the rumored new sword?’
The power of Grid’s sword was tremendous . Chris admired Grid, who grew by leaps and bounds in a few months .
“Didn’t you reach 3rd on the rankings after clearing the Behen Archipelago and getting the title of Hero King?”
“I can’t boast in front of the 1st ranked user . ”
“ . . . Bah . ”
Chris knew . The throne that was 1st in the unified rankings could be taken away by Grid at any time . But Chris didn’t feel bad or anxious . He already acknowledged Grid . He was ready to give the place to Grid at any time . Of course, he didn’t intend for anyone other than Grid to take the seat .
“Did you gain a swordsmanship technique from the Behen Archipelago?”
The clever Grid immediately guessed Grid’s situation . It was an incredible reasoning that impressed the dumb Grid .
“That’s right . You are really impressive . ”
“In conclusion, sword energy is a resource that opens up only after reaching a certain level after becoming a great swordsman . And great swordsman is a title that can only be obtained if you have a swordsman type class . In other words, you absolutely can’t obtain sword energy . ”
“ . . . ”
Grid’s eyes twitched . He was hit with cold reality . He angrily used Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Transcend . He slaughtered the vampires coming out of the darkness and gave a deep sigh .
“Then what should I do? I will never be able to use the skill that consumes sword energy?”
“It was originally like that . But it might be possible . ”
Suuuuok . The 13th vampire city .
Elfin Stone who once ruled the city had been replaced by another true blood vampire . Grid and Chris . The two strongest of Overgeared had already reached the boss’ room . The boss was furious at his sleep being disturbed and attacked the two . At this point, a blue energy rose from Chris’ body like a haze .
“This is sword energy . ”
Peeng!
Chris’ greatsword drew a blue line . It was an incomparably powerful blow that blew away the upper body of the 13th city’s boss .
“Wow . . . ”
Grid’s eyes widened .
“The red energy around your body, is that the fighting energy gained after winning the title of Hero King?”
Chris focused on Grid’s fighting energy .
“According to a quest I did in the past, Hero King was Muller’s title . ”
“Sword Saint Muller . . . ?”
“Yes . Muller would use sword energy and fighting energy . It means that fighting energy is a resource that can be used with swordsmanship . Why don’t you try replacing sword energy with fighting energy?”
“How?”
” . . . I’m not in a position to answer . You have to find the answer yourself . ”
Kwang!
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
[The owner of the 13th city, True Blood Vampire Ray has been destroyed . ]
Grid and Chris had a lot of combat experience . They didn’t miss anything in the raid while talking and the result was amazing . The two of them captured the vampire city in the shortest time . Grid thought about it .
‘It might be time to challenge the next cities . ’
Grid and the Overgeared Guild hadn’t challenged any new vampire cities because they feared the power of Vampire Duke Marie Rose and the other direct descendants . But now quite a lot of time had passed . Grid and the Overgeared members had all grown . Wouldn’t they be relatively safe as long as they didn’t meet Marie Rose?
“Um . . . I have to talk to Sticks about fighting energy . Thanks again, Chris . Level up . ”
“You took away all my experience and now you are saying this . . . ”
“Haha, sorry . Get in touch if you need me!”
Grid left the grumbling Chris behind and returned to Reinhardt . Chris smiled as he was left alone .
“I’m looking forward to the National Competition . ”
