Overgeared Chapter 547:
"Weeeeeek!"
Food and shelter . They were the basic elements of human life and a source of human pleasure . It was hard for humans to live when they lacked food and shelter . They were beings that desired a bigger and nicer house, more expensive clothes, and more delicious food .
However, Grid boldly gave up on this . His desire to be stronger was larger than his desire to eat good food . Of course, it wasn't that easy .
“Cough cough! Damn Idan! How can the beef sirloin he cooks taste like shit?”
The bathroom in Idan's restaurant . Grid was tearful and had a runny nose . It was the aftermath of vomiting up the garbage food . The terrible thing was that his stats didn’t go up despite eating such trash . Grid felt resentful of this world that was filled with the concept of probability . It was enough to make him tremble .
“But in the end, I’m the one who chose to eat Idan’s food . . . The result might be bad, but I feel no regret about my choice . ”
He couldn’t look serious talking while he was still vomiting . However, Grid had pride in himself . He maintained his patience and perseverance until he got the results he wanted . He was now aware that this wasn’t something everyone could do .
“Well . . . The good news is that my empty stomach is resolved . ”
His stamina had been restored to normal .
Spit spit . Grid left and headed straight to Pangea Castle . He lay down on the bed in the room assigned to him and logged straight out .
***
"Ugh . . . I still feel sick . ”
Shin Youngwoo’s complexion was pale as he left the capsule . The taste of Idan’s food was still lingering in his mouth .
“It should be okay if I eat something sweet . ”
He only gave up on good food in Satisfy . Now he was craving a sweet potato latte . It was warm, soft, and sweet . If he bought one on the way home after a morning jog, all his fatigue would melt away . It was a luxury that he wouldn’t have even thought of when he was poor . Now it was nothing for Shin Youngwoo to spend 6,000 won on himself . He donated 3,300 won to Uni X, so how could he hesitate to buy a 6,000 won beverage?
Compare it . Originally, Youngwoo was only stingy with others . He wouldn’t have bought a 800 million won car if he was stingy with himself .
“I will go eat . ”
Youngwoo stretched for a long time in the garden and entered the elevator . Then he headed to the famous cafe chain store on the first floor of the building .
"Welcome . "
A panoramic cafe . It was a cozy space comparable to a cafe in the city center . A cafe employee greeted him with a bright smile and Youngwoo ordered a sweet potato latte . He sat at the sunny window seat and made a gentle expression .
‘The buildings of the guild members will soon be completed . ’
Six high-rise buildings were currently under construction next to Youngwoo’s building . They were buildings owned by Yura, Jishuka, Pon, Huroi, and Vantner . Youngwoo felt like a new person . He felt happy that his former debt-ridden self was now a landlord and that his colleagues were doing well . His heart was happy enough to fill the world .
The employee handed him his drink with a soft smile, before asking with an anxious expression . “I’ve seen the news . The Overgeared Guild is having a hard time these days . Is it okay?”
"?"
The Overgeared Guild was having a hard time?
‘Aren’t we doing well?’
Youngwoo was speechless and the employee explained to him .
“I heard from the players that belong to the Eternal Kingdom . I heard that Bairan and Patrian are completely isolated by the enemy . It’s so sad . I would’ve fought for Overgeared if my level was a little higher . "
“ . . . The players?”
Youngwoo realized his mistake .
‘That **** Aslan gave quests to kill Overgeared!’
Lauel had said that Overgeared could block any enemy attacks even if Grid wasn’t there . Become strong in the East Continent and return . At the time, Grid had obediently nodded .
‘I didn’t expect the players to intervene . ’
He was still stupid .
Kkuok!
He jumped out of his seat . He was running to the elevator when he stopped in place . It was because the cafe owner had just brought out a cake that looked good .
“I will eat well . ”
He couldn’t resist a free meal! Youngwoo collected the cake and boarded the elevator . He pressed the button for the penthouse and pulled out his phone .
" . . . No . He’ll just tell me not to worry . ”
Youngwoo had thought about contacting Lauel . He changed his mind and pulled out a business card from his wallet, calling that number . The call was set at the cost of the receiver . The reason?
“Bunny Bunny? Uh, um . . . What is turn on the translator in English?”
It was an international call!
***
Bairan .
The small city adjacent to Winston was originally under the jurisdiction of Marquis Steim . After gaining big achievements in the north, it was given to Jishuka and then Grid . Yura wanted to protect it . Bairan was a territory that Jishuka, a founding member of Overgeared, brought as a gift .
Yura only brought herself to Overgeared . In addition, she wasn’t able to do much after that . She just helped in the Tiramet raid . From the standpoint of Overgeared, wasn’t she worthless?
‘I need to prove my worth . ’
It wasn’t just a one-dimensional desire to look good for Grid . It was natural to contribute to the organization that she belonged to .
Step .
Yura stepped onto the wall of the small fortress . She pulled out a yellow hair band and **** her long black hair . The souls of thousands of enemy players watching her flew away for a while . Slim limbs and a perfect face . The proportions of Yura’s body were so unrealistic that they wondered if she was made by God .
“Wow . . . Her face became smaller after her hair was **** . ”
“She’s better than NPCs . That’s a real person?”
"So pretty . . . "
People from various races exclaimed . Skin that was whiter than snowflakes . The gleaming lips and eyes that charmed anyone who saw them . It was natural for people present to be attracted to her . Pon saw the reactions of the enemies and laughed .
‘They’ve lost their minds . I admire her beauty every time I see her . ’
Pon only cared about becoming strong in the game . But in reality, he was a man who couldn’t live without women . For him, Yura was a really desirable woman . But he had already given up on Yura . He had no intentions of becoming rivals with Grid .
"According to the report, there are 10,000 enemies . Half of them are players . ”
On one hand, it was encouraging that the players were incorporated into the army . It was because the kingdom’s army system made it easy to send in spies . Of course, it wasn’t weak enough to sneak in the Overgeared members . But Pon’s personality was moderate and he had a variety of contacts .
"This is interesting . The average level of the kingdom’s soldiers is 180, and the players are 140 .
"Considering that most of the nearby hunting grounds are low to medium level, it’s natural that the players’ levels are low . But I didn’t expect the level of the kingdom’s soldiers to be so high . ”
"I agree . The average level of the soldiers that are attacking Patrian is only 160 . Why did they send this army here instead of Patrian?”
“It’s because Bairan is closer to the capital than Patrian . From the kingdom’s point of view, it’s more convenient to have a base in Bairan . ”
“I see . Tsk, they wouldn’t have dared attack Bairan if Marquis Steim had taken our side . Doesn’t he know that he became a marquis thanks to Grid?”
“You have to understand the position of Marquis Steim . His essence is a loyal subject of Eternal . Even if the king killed his brother, it isn’t easy to betray him . More than anything else, war is scary . He’s afraid his precious people will be swept away by it . I respect his heart . ”
Yura was a former member of the Yatan Church and familiar with slaughter . She was always covered in the blood of the enemy and got the nickname of Blood Witch . But at that time, she was just acting faithful to her role . Unlike Lauel, she didn’t regard people as tools and appreciated Marquis Steim’s heart . She knew that a man who cherished his people had value .
'A talented person who is essential for Youngwoo’s kingdom . ’
They would win the war without putting pressure on Marquis Steim . Yura pledged and pulled out a sword . Yes, it was a sword instead of a gun . It wasn’t a bayonet with a blade at the end, but a pure sword that was 1 meter in length . Pon tilted his head to one side .
"A sword? Isn’t a Demon Slayer’s main weapon a magic engineering gun?”
"The sword can also be used as a primary weapon . A Demon Slayer has the same level of Gun Mastery and Sword Mastery . ”
The reason she chose a gun was because the former Demon Slayer did so . She thought that a gun was a better weapon than a sword for a Demon Slayer . But she changed her thoughts since the National Competition . She had suffered in close combat since her days as a black magician . She didn’t want to be afraid of enemies approaching anymore .
In addition, a crucial reason for her selection of the sword was Grid . Grid couldn’t make a gun alone . He needed the help of magic and alchemy . On the other hand, Grid could make a sword alone . Using a sword meant it was easier to receive a weapon from Grid .
Thus, Yura chose the sword . This was a great choice .
Black magician . She formulated and arranged magic with quick responses that were beyond common sense and displayed strong combat capabilities . Her ability to calculate in real time combined with swordsmanship made her as deadly as the thorns on roses .
"Whenever the cooldown time of my basic skills return, I will open the gate and act . ”
“ . . . Huh?”
"The enemies are level 200 . If I go out and kill 100 people, we will be able to win the win if this keeps repeating . ”
“ . . . ”
Her brain resembled Lauel, while her personality was like Grid . Pon was confused by this crazy tactic and tried to stop her .
"No, this won’t work no matter how strong you are . Your stamina is a problem, and the fortress . . . ”
He was too late . Yura had already jumped down the wall and ordered the soldiers to open the gate .
Kiiiiik!
“What?”
"Opening the gate themselves?”
“Are they crazy?”
The kingdom’s soldiers and players laughed as they watched Bairan’s gate opening . They had 10,000 people, while the other side had 2,000 . Bairan should be closing themselves up like a turtle, not opening the gate .
“Hahaha! Bairan? You can’t fight and now you want to surrender? Keeok!”
They expected to enter with no blood shed . Then the bodies of the excited players started to turn grey one by one .
Peeng!
Peng! Pepepeng!
It was a grey feast of grey-colored pillars rising to the sky . Yura was at the center . Her expression was unchanged while the sword supposed to be for destroying demons was now taking human life . She was a grim reaper that was as beautiful as a goddess .
“The female version of Kraugel?”
Yura used Image Sublimation in the midst of the bombardment of arrow and magic . Pon couldn’t help having this thought as he watched Yura moving through the enemies like lightning . She was the former 5th ranked user . She was also a genius, and now she was a legend .
***
“Crazy . . . What are these people?”
The fortified city of Patrian .
The players of the Eternal Kingdom turned white . Every time Jishuka fired an arrow, dozens of allies died . Hundreds of soldiers were stopped by Vantner and Toban’s shields . Every time the Overgeared members entered the battlefield with Regas in front, the army was ravaged . For the ordinary and low level users who couldn’t deal with more one or two soldiers, the Overgeared members were transcendent .
The second day of the war . The high rankers quietly watching the Eternal soldiers and ordinary players shrink back stood at the crossroad of choice . Should they give their strength to the Eternal Kingdom and strike Overgeared as planned, or stand back?
'I would’ve added my strength if the Eternal Kingdom was a bit stronger . ’
‘The number of troops isn’t high, so I’m reluctant to help out . ’
At the start of the game . Most players chose the Saharan Empire as their starting point . The empire had a wide range of infrastructure that made it easier to enjoy the game . The Eternal Kingdom compared to the empire? It was a village located in the north of the continent .
The awareness level was third-rate . As a matter of fact, the number of players belonging to the Eternal Kingdom was small and the quality was low . It happened when the high rankers decided to leave the battlefield .
"Reinforcements have arrived!”
A voice roared out on the battlefield . Everyone's attention naturally turned that way . Then the players of the Eternal Kingdom regained their color .
Jeff, Ralph, and Bubat . The masters of the former Seven Guilds led their guilds to intervene in the war . Bubat, who had the strongest CC and a reputation for being unrivalled on the battlefield, smiled with satisfaction .
"I can’t miss an opportunity to mess with Grid . ”
Bubet wasn’t a member of Eternal and hadn’t been given the quests to kill Overgeared . But that didn’t matter to him . Grid had frustrated him several times in the National Competition and the Reidan invasion, so he only dreamt of revenge .
"Let's go! Wipe out Overgeared!”
"Waaahhhhhhhh!"
The appearance of the powerful army enhanced morale . The high rankers noticed this and also joined the offensive . Jishuka’s beautiful face wrinkled .
"The puppies have become dogs . ”
It was a bit dangerous .
