Overgeared Chapter 712:
Chapter 712
[Braham’s soul has left . ]
The friend he built up many memories with had left him, but there was only a short notification window .
The system didn’t understand the friendship between the two of them .
“Braham . . . ”
Grid was left alone and felt depressed . He could no longer feel Braham’s soul in his chest, causing him to be overwhelmed by a sense of loss that was difficult to describe .
“ . . . ”
His legs wouldn’t fall . Grid stood firmly in place, looking at the blue trail that Braham’s soul left in the sky . He continued for a long time after the trail had completely disappeared .
***
Oasis . He became a candidate to be the Undefeated King’s descendant, but he was gradually moving away from his dream . He was stunned in this war . Pagma’s Descendant, Grid . The hero of this era who became the first king with natural talent (?) . Wealth, fame, and women . Having secured everything, now he used the Undefeated King’s swordsmanship .
Oasis felt a sense of deprivation . Why was the world so unfair? This world was for main characters only! The awful reality made Oasis sad . He felt that Grid was dominating all the luck in the world and resented the world’s unfairness . But now .
' . . . He is truly an amazing person . Yes, like Ares said, good luck doesn’t exist . Grid was qualified, so he could become a main character . ’
Oasis no longer blamed the world . He couldn’t envy Grid . The five pillars . Oasis shook as the Ares Army dealt with the remnants of the empire and observed Grid .
‘Grid . . . He has been locked in thought for five hours . . . ’
Why was Grid staring up at the sky after the battle?
‘He’s replaying the fight . ’
Oasis was convinced . Grid was like this all the time .
‘After experiencing some incidents . . . Grid always spent hours replaying the situation . Then he would use it as food for growth to develop constantly . ’
Replaying the battle . It was easy to say, but who could do it every time? In particular, Grid invested a few hours .
‘Amazing . . . Really amazing . I can’t even be jealous . Grid is different from me . ’
Well, of course . While he was an ordinary person, Grid was the best ranker who achieved countless great feats . No, he was one of the best . He couldn’t be compared .
Kkuok .
Oasis gripped the Undefeated King’s old sheath tightly . He was conflicted . Could he really keep this sheath? He had lost his qualification to become the Undefeated King’s descendant . After much struggling .
‘I can’t . ’
The Undefeated King . It was impossible for Oasis . He realized reality .
‘The rightful owner of the sheath is Grid . ’
Grid already had the Undefeated King’s swordsmanship . If he obtained the old sheath, he would be immediately chosen as the Undefeated King’s descendant .
‘He is already Pagma's Descendant . . . He has a second class . ’
Step, step .
The determined Oasis approached Grid .
Dugun dugun!
He looked like a tycoon from afar . Oasis’ heart beat like crazy . Finally .
“H-Hello?”
Oasis was so nervous after greeting Grid that he bit his tongue . Grid glanced at him .
“ . . . !”
The moment he met Grid’s black eyes, Oasis got goosebumps all over his body . Grid’s eyes were so deep that he couldn’t believe they were the same age . It was a totally different feeling from looking at a distance or through the screen . Oasis was confronted with the reality of Grid and gulped .
“What can I do for you?”
Grid asked politely . If someone who knew Grid was in this place, they would be shocked . Why? It was because originally Grid wasn’t polite . Since a long time ago, Grid rarely used honorifics on his opponent . In fact, this wasn’t a problem of Grid’s nature .
It was an overall feature of Korean gamers . Korean gamers lost politeness due to the AOS genre game ‘rules’ in the past . Since a certain point in time, informal conversations in game was a basic culture . But at this moment, Grid’s thoughts changed . It was a change that occurred when he looked back at himself and regretted that he had never been polite to Braham, who was hundreds of years older than him .
Grid didn’t know if he would develop a relationship with the person in front of him in the future, but he shouldn’t make this person disgusted with him . He came to know the concept of ‘respect . ’
“Ah, t-that . . . ”
Oasis was confused and nervous, since the image of Grid that he knew was different than the one he faced . He was in a muddled state .
"I don't know what’s going on, but feel free to speak your mind . ”
Grid smiled kindly . He could see his past self in the obscure Oasis . He always lacked confidence so he bowed his head and was afraid of even meeting people’s eyes a few years ago . Now Grid knew . Even pathetic people deserved respect . He had wanted to be respected in the past .
'But now I am . ’
He had never respected the weak . He never harassed anyone unless they were an enemy, but he only helped his allies if they were in distress .
‘I never thought about the position of that person . ’
He was vigilant and suspicious of everyone before he got to know them . Yes, it was the same with Braham . He was wary and didn’t feel respect because Braham was a demonkin .
‘Just once . ’
If only he talked to Braham about being betrayed by Pagma, if only he said words of warm comfort . When Braham encouraged him, Grid could also give Braham hope .
‘Why didn’t I show any interest in Braham?’
Grid knew his position . He could try to help Braham with his resurrection . But Grid didn’t . He just treated Braham the way he wanted . Nevertheless .
“Nevertheless, you . . . You liked me . . . ’
Kkuok!
Grid bit his lower lip hard . He was trying to stop himself from crying . Oasis had a great misunderstanding after seeing Grid .
‘I don’t know anyone who is so kind and looks at me with such friendly eyes . . . ?’
King Grid . It wasn’t just limited to Satisfy . He had a reputation and power to reign like a king in the real world . But rather than being arrogant, he was such a warm person . It was surprising .
‘He can control his mind . . . That’s how he was able to succeed . . . !’
The arrogance exposed through various types of broadcasts was a false production . He didn’t want his true self to be seen by potential enemies . It was indeed admirable . ‘Yes, this is the ideal Undefeated King’s descendant . ’ Oasis’ tension was released once he saw Grid as such a big person . He had a warm heart like believers in front of a Buddha statue .
"Please accept this . "
Oasis handed the old sheath of the Undefeated King to Grid . Of course, it wasn’t without good reason . He wasn’t a fool . In any case, if he made Grid the descendant of the Undefeated King, he might get a separate reward in return .
‘It might be a few legendary items . '
He would be able to live a different life . The moment that Oasis thought so .
“Hey, sh . . . Is this a joke?”
"?????"
Grid frowned after being given the old sheath of the Undefeated King . The gentle atmosphere had completely disappeared . His eyes looked like he was going to curse at Oasis .
‘W-What? Why so suddenly?’
Oasis panicked . The angry Grid threw the old sheath back to him .
"A person is trying to suppress his emotions . Why are you giving this japtem to me? What is wrong with you? Eh? What is it?”
“Jap . . . tem?”
An item that provided a legendary class change quest was called japtem? It was impossible . Oasis thought that something was wrong with the Undefeated King’s old sheath . Then he heard a voice that hadn’t been present since he failed the quest in Lubana .
-Do you think you can surrender ownership at will? The choice isn’t your burden .
" . . . I didn’t lose my qualifications?”
Oasis asked in a quivering voice . The voice from the old sheath hummed .
-It’s a problem for me to judge . Don’t think about it .
“ . . . ”
Oasis’ eyes turned red . Deep emotions flickered as the dream he thought was long gone appeared again . Grid’s eyes were flat when they looked at Oasis .
‘Talking alone in front of a person . . . He is completely crazy . ’
Once again, he shouldn’t be kind to anyone . This was just a strange and twisted person . Then someone on a horse ran towards Grid . It was Ares returning after the war . Ares got down from his horse and bowed deeply to Grid .
"I really appreciate it this time . Thanks to your help, I was able to achieve a bigger victory than I expected . ”
In the war that Ares planned, Liberon Forest was just the ‘first interception . ’ Despite taking advantage of the terrain and climate of Liberon Forest, Ares knew that this line of defense would eventually be overcome . He prepared other traps in various places, but was able to get rid of the imperial troops before they were exposed . It was a tremendous benefit in the long run . Ares was truly thankful and grasped Grid’s hand .
"No, I didn’t do it for your thanks . ”
"I know . "
The reason that Grid participated in this war was for the future of the Overgeared Kingdom, not Valhalla . Ares also knew this fact .
"But it’s clear that Valhalla greatly benefited as a result . Allow me to repay you . ”
Clap clap .
Ares clapped and 500 soldiers ran over . At a glance, they were clearly well-trained .
“They are elites who have been given top attributes . The war raised their level to 270 . Maybe they can grow into knights?”
“ . . . ?”
"I will give them to you . ”
“Huh?”
"These soldiers, please accept them . ”
“ . . . ”
Valhalla would supply troops to the Overgeared Kingdom, while the Overgeared Kingdom supplied items to Valhalla . This was the ideal alliance that Ares dreamt of .
“I hope that the exchanges between the two kingdoms will be more active from today . "
“ . . . I understand . ”
The grateful Grid left Valhalla with the soldiers . Oasis looked at his back and questioned the old sheath .
"Isn’t he a fit for the ruler you’re looking for? Honestly, won’t he fulfil your wish?”
The answer he received in return was:
-He is already a ruler . His vessel is too big for the small part of my soul in this sheath to handle .
“ . . . ”
An amazing person who was recognized by an arrogant ego item . Oasis’ eyes filled with envy as they looked at Grid’s back .
‘Someday, I will stand side by side with you . . . No, I will become a person you will be aware of . Until then, please win . ’
The footsteps left by a hero of heroes, countless people followed them . Now Grid was someone else’s goal . Just like Grid’s goal was Kraugel .
