Overgeared Chapter 423:
Chapter 423
Before Grid raided Russia .
As Grid predicted, Kraugel targeted South Korea . It was because among the countries that remained, South Korea had the highest score . Of course, he didnt intend to fight to kill . He planned to keep Korea in check by preventing them from concentrating on the target processing .
Kraugel wasnt in a perfect state . Yes, he was like a car out of fuel . It was the same as just after his confrontation with Piaro . What if he faced Grid now?
Kraugel was sure that the probability of his defeat was more than 80% . It was shocking if Kraugel was to be defeated by someone, but Kraugel knew . He wasnt invincible . In addition, Grid was strong .
This?
Kraugel stopped moving through the forest . In the sky above . The golden hands holding weapons were handling the targets .
. . . The God Hands .
South Koreas score was slowly but steadily rising . Kraugel realized that it was thanks to the God Hands . He looked around and confirmed that there were no signs of Grid . He had to neutralize the God Hands .
But .
Chaaeng!
Indeed, destroying them is impossible .
The God Hands were ridiculously durable . After being hard by White Fang, causing them to stiffen for 2~3 seconds was the limit .
Bururu .
The God Hands protection system was activated . They started targeting Kraugel .
The Sword Mastery skill is attached?
The God Hands had grown compared to when he faced them in Reidan . They were stronger and faster . Kraugel guessed that the God Hands could hunt level 200 monsters alone . They were really great items .
Indeed, it was the private item of Pagmas Descendant .
Will a sword saint have an item only for them?
Kraugel imagined it as he avoided the attacks of the God Hands in a relaxed manner . It was like a professional boxer facing four elementary school children .
. . . ?
Once the God Hands were drawn to him, South Koreas score had completely stopped . Now Kraugel jumped with surprise . It was because Russia had been increasing the gap from South Korea, only for their score to suddenly stop .
It cant be!
Kraugel felt like he had been hit in the back of the head . It was clear that someone attacked Russia while he was away, and that someone was likely to be Grid .
Go back .
Kraugel determined that it was impossible for Russias representatives to deal with Grid and was going to return .
Tatang!
Around 120 meters to the rear . A sniper shot came from behind a huge rock . A bullet made of magic power . Based on the direction of the sound and the wind, Kraugel predicted the point of impact . He moved his waist and avoided the magic bullet .
Peeng!
The tree behind Kraugel exploded, the shockwave causing Kraugels long ponytail to become a mess . It revealed his face that was as beautiful as a sculpture .
『 As expected from Kraugel! This is the control skill of the 1st ranked user! As long as it isnt a definitive attack, he can avoid almost all of it! 』
『 I received some statistics just now . In this target processing match, Kraugel avoided a total of 502 out of 537 non-targeted skills . . . Heok, is this data wrong? 』
『 He has gone beyond the realm of a human . . . 』
The former 5th ranked Yura . Despite her appearance and her hidden class, the world was only focused on Kraugel . Yura one of the most popular women in the world, was only a supporting figure when placed next to Kraugel, the peak of two billion users .
『 How long will Yura grab Kraugels ankle? 』
『 Currently, Kraugel is in a tired state . Since she was the 5th ranked user, shouldnt Yura be able to hold on for five minutes? 』
『 No . Since the old days, Yura was vulnerable to close combat . She can only withstand for one minute . 』
As the commentators and experts speculated, Kraugel rushed towards Yura with White Fang . Kruagel was convinced that Yura was a gunman, so he focused on narrowing the distance . Yura planned to buy time while running away, but . . .
Fast!
Kraugels speed was much faster than expected . The actual speed of movement was similar to Yura, but Kraugel grasped the forest terrain in an instant and minimized his movements, making it more efficient .
Kraugel caught up to Yura . At this time, the God Hands had completely left Grids sphere of influence . Therefore, they no longer targeted Kraugel and were forced to return to Grids inventory .
Chaaeng!
Kraugel wielded White Fang without any hesitation . Yura defended with Alexs Magic Engineering Gun in rifle mode and shuddered . Kraugels white sword had gone over the top of the barrel and stabbed into her heart .
Puok!
Uh . . . !
A truth that everyone overlooked was that Kraugels greatest strength wasnt his control skill, but his ridiculously high level . Due to the gap in level, there was a bonus to the attack power, defense resistance and accuracy .
Yura had just reached level 260 and wasnt able to cope with Kraugel who was level 343 . She suffered great damage . Kraugel was surprised by this .
You, why is your level so low?
Yura was 5th on the unified rankings . Half a year ago, she had already crossed level 300 . But looking at the damage that Yura received, she didnt seem to have experienced her third stats awakening yet . She was just a paper body, despite the excellent condition of her armor .
Why? What would make her level drop so drastically? Kraugel was feeling confused when Yura whispered in his ear .
I believe that one day you will know why .
. . . !
Kraugel hurriedly moved back . Yuras magic gun suddenly transformed into a sword . The barrel divided into four and a blue blade emerged .
Pit!
The aim was Kraugels face . The sword left a wound on his left eye, causing blood to flow .
. . .
The owner of the second legendary class, Yura . Like a flower blossoming, the blue light of the sword illuminated the strong will in her eyes . Kraugels black eyes sank coldly while the commentators were extremely excited .
『 Yura has dealt a wound to Kraugel! 』
『 Yuras strength cant be ignored! 』
『 What is Yuras weapon? How did the magic gun turn into a sword? 』
General magic engineering guns only supported rifle mode and pistol mode . But Yuras magic gun changed into a sword, making the commentators feel disbelief . The experts speculated .
『 Its a magic engineering gun made by dwarves . 』
『 Its likely that Yura has travelled to the dwarf city of Talima . 』
『 However, this isnt a card that will upset the battlefield . 』
Yura was presumed to have obtained the gunman hidden class . She didnt possess the Sword Mastery skill . In the first place, swordsmanship was out of the question for a black magician . This was what the experts thought, but . . .
Chaaeng! Chaeng!
Surprisingly, Yuras swordsmanship was at a good level . She fought back and directly received Kraugels counterattacks . The spectacular effects that occurred when the two people crossed swords dazzled the viewers .
But this tense confrontation didnt last long . Yuras swordsmanship wasnt comparable to Kraugel, and above all, their level and stats difference was too great .
Peok!
After throwing away Yuras sword, Kraugel raised his sword vertically . He put his knee on Yuras shoulder and held the handle of his sword . It was the precursor of Jajinmori . (TL: only thing I could find was related to music, basically the fastest tempo . )
Peeeong!
. . . !
He was kicked in the chest and Yura rushed away . Kraugel tried to hit her by throwing a secondary weapon . But at this time, he felt an intense energy from the rear .
While Yura grabbed Kraugels attention, Peak Sword aimed for a surprise attack from the rear .
Draw Sword, Sudden .
Piing .
Once Peak Swords sword was pulled out, there was a sharp burst of energy and it suddenly flew at Kraugel . Fast . In the first place, drawing sword techniques werent easy to avoid . Even Kraugel, with his keen senses and insight, wasnt able to avoid the skill that was used with perfect timing .
Seokeok!
Cough!
The sword penetrated Kraugels chest, causing him to cough up blood .
Dangerous .
The moment this thought crossed his mind, the figure of his mother appeared in front of him .
. . . Stand up .
Kraugel was at the last of his strength . Yura turned her weapon back into pistol mode and fired magic bullets at him .
Pepeng! Pepepepeng!
Kraugels body was consecutively hit by magic bullets . Peak Sword recovered his sword and prepared for his next attack . Then Kraugel used True Clouds . A blue cloud-like haze covered the area .
I cant see .
Yura and Peak Sword were nervous because they could see Kraugel within the clouds . They didnt know when and where Kraugel would appear to attack them . After 20 seconds, Kraugel didnt attack them and the clouds completely disappeared .
He had run away . It was because the continuous battles had pushed Kraugels stamina and mana to the depleted state . Kraugel decided to survive and maintain Russias score, keeping the silver medal, rather than kill Yura and Peak Sword .
Then 20 minutes later . South Korea scored 400 points and the target processing match was automatically stopped .

After the opening day finished . There was a brief press conference and the players returned to their rooms .
Shang X Lila Hotel . The Korean representatives were gathered in Grids room .
Amazing! Amazing! Korea won the gold medal at a team event . No one wouldve imagined it!!
Peak Sword shouted excitedly .
This is all thanks to Grid, Yura, and Peak Sword .
Im sorry that we were no help to you .
Hah, we are useless . We were completely disruptive . . .
Kyunghook, Sumin, and Jinhee couldnt lift their heads . The proud people trembled from their helplessness . The atmosphere suddenly sank . Surprisingly, the one to encourage them wasnt Peak Sword .
It was Grid .
No, this result is due to all of us . If all of you werent present, we wouldnt have won the gold medal .
Grid had been despised for incompetence his whole life . Thats why he knew .
There are no worthless people in the world . Everyone has their own personality and talent . Always have pride in yourself .
As soon as a human saw themselves as unnecessary, their lives would be at risk . Their self-esteem would collapse and they couldnt overcome misfortunes due to their misery . Just like the Grid of the past .
The smiling Grid . As the protagonist of the gold medal, he wasnt arrogant and shared his achievements with everyone . Yura felt that he had matured . It was interesting and pleasant to watch a man who was becoming an adult day by day .
