Overgeared Chapter 452:

He can restore 150% of the damage done?

It must be a one-time thing .

Everyone in the world was paying attention to Grid .  The players who were participating in PvP right now, as well as the healers who didnt participate in the National Competition .

Grid .  He combined top class power with the best blacksmithing skill, and was also capable of exercising a tremendous force as head of Overgeared .  There were countless forces in the world who hadnt yet proven to be overwhelming, but were watched with vigilance . This was a great chance to analyze Grids strengths and weaknesses, so people focused on Grid, especially Kraugel .

Grid . . .

If Kraugel thought about his mother, he hoped that Grid wouldnt reach the finals .  But his heart wanted the opposite result .  He wanted to compete with Grid . He wanted to fight, enjoy, and develop with Grid .

. . . A selfish greed .

Kraugel painfully repressed his heart and left the waiting room . It was to prepare for the second round that would start in 30 minutes .

***

Boo!

Boooooo!

The crowd was booing . Amidst the booing, Chinese curses could be heard .

Ni chi fan le ma! ()

That was 100% a Korean . In any case, the crowd couldnt hide their anger towards Hao . There were even people throwing **** .

Why did you give up!?

After logging out, Grid refused the interview from the host and ran up to Hao .  Why would he give up after beating up Grid for 20 minutes? It was obvious slapping and hitting! It didnt feel like Grid had won . Above all, Grid wanted to fight longer to reduce the cooldown of Assimilation and gain item experience .

Peok!

Hao, whose face was hit by a plastic bottle thrown by a Chinese audience member, turned towards Grid . His eyes were clear as he looked at Grid, no signs of anger, resentment, or regret anywhere .

Its foolish to cling to a losing fight .

Things wouldve been different if it wasnt official .  Hao wouldve fought against Grid without giving up to the last minute .  He would learn .  But this was the National Competition . All types of people were watching the battle and there was great risk in revealing all his skills .

I have been fighting you for 20 minutes, but my attitude from the start was the problem . I am ashamed that I didnt recognize your skills .

Grid was above him . Hao realized the truth and humbly bowed his head .

I am in awe of you .

Think about it .  Why did Grid call himself dull-witted? Then Hao looked back .  Grids past . All the information on him .  Then Hao was able to come to a conclusion .  Grid had reached this position because of his hard work . Other rankers had the weapon of innate talent .

. . . You are special .

Haos passion was lit .  The next person since Kraugel . It was also the complete opposite to Kraugel .

The genius Kraugel was the sky from the beginning .

The dull-witted Grid was a tower .  He stacked the stones piece by piece and headed towards the sky .  Hao had no choice but to feel awe . However, there was one thing that worried him .

Dont let it fall .

A tower would eventually collapse at some point . The more height that was accumulated, the riskier it was .  If Grid met a disaster that couldnt be overcome with effort, it was doubtful that he could escape from the impact . Hao didnt know if Grid would admit defeat or give up .

I dont know who I should be worried about right now .

Hao smiled and turned his back to Grid .

If Grid breaks the sky, I will have to serve Grid .

Lauels strong words once again rang in his mind .  This time, Hao was no longer offended .

***

32 participants entered the second round . Among them were the strongest candidates: Russias Kraugel, Canadas Chris, Japans Damian and Katz, the United States Skull, Spains Pon, and Britains Regas .

『 And there is the Korean Grid . 』

『 Hey . . . I didnt expect Chinas Hao to be eliminated in the first round . It was also a forfeit? Its an unheard of incident . 』

『 Grids ability to grow and recover transcended Haos expectations . No matter how hard Grid is beaten, he is like a zombie and his attack power even becomes stronger? 』

『 But Hao still gave up too easily . Maybe Haos stamina was too weak 』

The second round started while the commentators were talking .  The contents of the matches werent bad .  It was a situation where each of the winning candidates beat the opponent to advance to the next round .  

Kraugel effortlessly won without allowing a single attack .  Skull was doing his best in the belief that he would lead the United States to victory .  Katz was intoxicated by his own strength .  Pon won while dreaming about being the best spearman . It happened when the ratings started to drop slightly due to there being no big surprises .

『 Its finally here! 』

『 The 15th match in the second round! 』 

Waaahhhhhhhh!

The somewhat quiet atmosphere of the Stade de France National Stadium changed drastically . The ratings of the international broadcasts rose sharply . It was a glimpse of how high the interest in the 15th match was .

『 The main characters of the match that everyone has been waiting for! 』

『 Damian and Regas! Regas and Damian! 』

The first user pope, Damian .  He specialized in the sword and magic, had overwhelming tanking power and buff power, in addition to his recovery power .  He boasted the perfect combat balance and was comparable to Kraugel and Grid .  Regas also couldnt be ignored .

He was the strongest since the days when the Overgeared Guild was the Tzedakah Guild . He was the idol of all martial artists in the world for a long time and attracted attention as the only Asura class .

『 Isnt the Asura class really tricky? 』

『 It is said to have the highest difficulty among the 3rd advancement classes . I would rather get a hidden class than the Asura . 』 

『 There is speculation that the Asura 4th advancement class will be linked to a hidden class . Due to this, many martial artists havent switched to a third advancement class and are focused on the Asura class quest . 』 

『 The strength of an Asura is amazing . . . Each skill has an abnormally high accuracy and every hit adds combo damage . 』 

『 There is an additional aspect that when fighting the enemy, it deals extra lightning damage . 』

『 But it is questionable if he can link a combo with Damian . . . 』

Nobody could predict the winner . Damian and Regas greeted each other onstage .

It feels strange to meet you in a place like this .

Yes .

The two smiling men .  They were usually very good friends .  Damian liked Regas, who never despised him for being an otaku, while Regas was just friendly to people . But their eyes changed the moment they received the signal to start the battle .

Divine Protection, Incarnation of Light, Goddess Blessing .

From the beginning, Damian used buffs that increased his attack power, defense, all stats, and pulled out a shield . It was because it wasnt possible to deal with Regas in a no buffs state .

Great! Hahat!

Damian was surrounded by a gold and silver aura that gave off a brilliant radiance .  Regas couldnt find a gap and rushed wildly towards him .  Kraugel, who returned to the waiting room and watched the match, was rarely amazed .

Isnt this too hasty?

If the opponent used buffs, you should buy time until the buffs ended .  Especially if the opponent was someone strong like Damian .  Kraugel couldnt understand why Regas attempted a frontal match against Damian .  Even he thought it was too difficult to touch Damian in a full buffed condition .

It was as he expected .  Regas rushed wildly and received a counterattack .  Damians shield absorbed the damage and unleashed a fast and elaborate attack . An Asura had the worst defense and it was lightly shattered .

. . . It cant be .

Regas countered against Damians shield, allowing attacks and not worrying about his rapidly dropping health gauge .  His attack speed was slowly but surely getting faster .  But the only person who detected this was Kraugel . In fact, even Damian didnt notice the slight change in Regas and before he knew it, he allowed a strong counterattack .

Cough!

Damian didnt have time to raise a shield as he was hit in the stomach, causing him to fall towards the ground . His face was then hit by Regas ruthless knee .

Kkuk!

The damage of the second strike was different from the first . The second blow was more painful . The third blow would be even more painful .

I cant allow him to achieve a combo . . . !

Damian hurriedly lifted his shield . The timing and angle was perfect to block Regas fist . Just before Regas fist was blocked by the big, square shield .

Peeok!

Keok!

Damian coughed up blood again . He was struck by Regas kick!

When did he kick . . . ?

Regas could freely move his arms and legs with no time difference? No one was surprised by Regas skills .

『 Regas, who defeated the 3rd ranked Chris in the National Competition last year and played a nice match with Grid . . . ! He has further evolved! 』

『 He has good control skills comparable to Hao, and has transcended the existence of a martial artist . I can only feel admiration . 』

Would Regas win this time? As everyone was carefully guessing, Regas next attack struck Damians chin .

Wow . . .

The crowd exclaimed .  The more combos that were linked, the more damage that Regas dealt . Damians health gauge was noticeably reduced . But Damian was a pope .

Goddess Breath .

An absolute recovery skill . The most powerful healing skill that restored 100% of his health, and 70% of his party members health .

Goddess Protection .

Peeeeeong!

A shield that negated the enemys attack once, it completely stopped Regas combo . Then Damian used an aggressive skill .

Goddess Wrath .

Puaaaaaaaah!

A gleam of light struck Regas .

***

『 The winner is Damian!! 』

Damian vs Regas was the most intense match in the first and second round .  The two men fought for 31 minutes and 20 seconds, putting on a show that thrilled the spectators and viewers .  The commentators couldnt express the richness and depth of the confrontation .

Perhaps that was why? The people of the world couldnt emerge from the afterglow . They couldnt focus on anything that the host was saying on stage .  But it was only for a short moment .  

Grid and Chris . The moment that the two big names were mentioned by the host, people concentrated their attention on the stage again .
