Overgeared Chapter 748:
Chapter 748
‘Why didn’t I see them?’
A tough clothesline that couldn’t be cut or sawed off . At the window, Kraugel was blocking the enemies crossing the clothesline . In other words, he was looking at all the clothesline connected from the building across the street . But he didn’t see Pon or Lauel at all . They suddenly appeared at the windowsill like ghosts .
‘This is it . ’
Kraugel was feeling puzzled when his gaze landed on a spear stabbed into the wall . It was a completely dull spear, like the durability had been exhausted .
‘They crawled up the outer wall . ’
This five-storey building they were gathered in was old and ugly . The exterior wall was rugged and cracked in places . It was a structure that could be climbed using a tool . However, the condition was showing agility, patience, and concentration .
Suook .
Kraugel watched the two men who surrounded him . One of them was armed with a spear while the other was holding a fan made of iron .
‘Who are they?’
Kraugel was feeling alert when they told him their identities . It was honestly without any lies .
"I am Lauel of the Overgeared Kingdom . Oh, should I introduce myself as American Representative Lauel . This is a separate event not related to the National Competition, but I regret that we couldn’t fight together . . . ”
Shortly before Lauel’s words finished .
Syuk!
Kraugel swung his sword . His target was Lauel . He judged that Lauel needed to be taken care of quickly . What was the identity of the man holding the spear next to Lauel? Of course, it was Pon .
‘Pon is strong . ’
On the other hand, Lauel was a schemer . His fighting skills were weak . Kraugel decided to take care of Lauel first before focusing on Pon . That’s why he did a surprise attack . However .
Jjejeong!
“ . . . !”
Lauel blocked Kraugel’s attack, like he predicted it . He read the timing of the sword and opened the fan to defend . Kraugel was surprised by his unexpected skill . His eyes widened but there was no change in expression . Lauel folded the fan back up and placed it against his mouth .
"I have also advanced . Well, it’s a different scale from you who is at the top of 2 billion users . ”
Around three years ago, there were 10 geniuses who overturned the world . The young boys and girls topped the rankings despite playing late . They were the very first generation of the 10 Rookies . And Lauel was the best of them . He was praised by countless people . After joining the Overgeared Kingdom, he became a flow master to direct the battle .
“But my basic skills are still present . ”
In Battlefield where all characters were the same and strength was determined by control, Lauel was a top player .
Kukuk! He laughed at Kraugel .
“In addition, I have the brilliant mind that allows me to predict your behavior pattern . Kraugel, you will have a pretty tough fight . The blood is boiling in my body . Huhuhut . ”
“ . . . ”
He truly was an Overgeared member difficult to deal with . Kraugel got goosebumps from the words when a spear flew at him . It was from Pon . Kraugel rolled to the side to avoid it . Then he immediately rose and tried to counterattack .
Jjejeong!
Lauel’s iron fan followed his actions . Kraugel defended and Pon’s spear aimed at the back of his neck . Both of them were quick and fast . It was a perfect pincer attack .
Puok!
Kraugel was bleeding . It was a scene that shocked the world .
『 Kraugel was hit by the enemy first . . . ! 』
『 It’s a sight I never imagined! 』
The commentators of broadcasting companies around the world made a fuss . It was rare for Kraugel to allow a hit .
“Kraugel!”
Jishuka was surprised by the sudden development and tried to help, but . . .
Puk! Puk puk!
“Ugh . . . !”
The arrows constantly flying from the other side of the building made her unable to move . She was forced to hide behind a large leather couch .
'This is annoying!’
Jishuka felt angry at the situation . What was her role? Shoot as many enemies as possible before covering both Grid and Kraugel inside . But the situation was too difficult because the enemies allied with each other .
‘I wanted to win with Grid . ’ She wanted to embrace him on the stage while everyone was watching . If the atmosphere was nice then she might’ve kissed him . But this seemed to be difficult . 'I’m incompetent! I am too incompetent!’
Puok!
An arrow flew as Jishuka was busy lamenting . The tip of the arrow pierced through the leather sofa . The leather sofa Jishuka was hiding behind had completely become a hedgehog .
‘There are almost no spaces left . I will be a hedgehog when I get out of here . ’
The interior of the building was too bare and there were many windows . In order to shoot a bow, the target had to be followed with their eyes . But if she left the leather sofa, she would receive a flood of arrows .
' . . . I can’t follow them with my eyes?’
Then . . .
‘I will have to use my ears . ’
Jishuka took deep breaths to calm herself and closed her eyes . She focused on the footsteps of Kraugel, Pon and Lauel, who were fighting in this narrow space, and pulled her bowstring . At that moment .
Puk puk puk!
Several arrows flew and threatened her .
'Ah, they can see what I’m doing because of the mirror over there . ’
Who would place a mirror in an old building with almost nothing in it?
“The map designer had archers in mind . Hah . ”
She put down the bow with a deep sigh . Surprisingly, she didn’t feel despair .
‘It is okay . There is a limit to the number of arrows . ’
After joining Grid, Jishuka looked for arrows and scriptures and discovered it was actually very hard to find arrows . They were hard to find and even if she found some, there were only one or two . It was an item close to a consumable so a lot of effort was needed to collect it . It would also be the same for the other people .
Jishuka thought that the arrows threatening her would stop soon . On the other hand, what about her?
‘My arrows are now almost endless . ’
In the dusty mirror, Jishuka’s beautiful face shone . The sofa and walls filled with arrows made her feel good .
***
‘I’m glad there’s Jishuka . ’
The arrows from the other building no longer headed for Kraugel . Kraugel’s evasion rate was high but he was worried that Pon and Lauel would attack in that gap . It was good that the aggro of the archers were completely focused on Jishuka .
‘There’s a problem . ’
The close range dealers . Earlier, they had unsuccessfully tried to cross the clothesline and now they were trying to move across again . Kraugel had to get rid of Pon and Lauel as quickly as possible . But Pon and Lauel wasn’t easy opponents .
Chaaeng! Chaeng!
A fan less than 30 centimeters long . Lauel was tangled up with Kraugel and quickly hit him with the iron fan .
Swaeeeeek!
Pon stayed at a medium range and stabbed his spear . As time passed, the two men were completely grabbing Kraugel’s ankles .
Peok!
Lauel, who was struck by Kraugel’s sword in exchange for a punch, smiled instead of panicking .
"A damage of 1 isn’t possible . Are you irritated because time isn’t on your side?”
Lauel confirmed that his allies had started to cross the clotheslines . Sooner or later, Kraugel would lose his composure . It couldn’t be overlooked that he was still a human . Lauel knew it for certain because he served by Grid’s side . Grid was at the top like Kraugel and didn’t he often lose his composure?
'You will also in the end . . . Eh?’ Lauel was puzzled as he was immersed in wielding the iron fan . His vision spun and he felt his body being hit . “What?”
He was caught unawares and blown away? Lauel became aware of his situation when he had already fallen to the ground . He was defenseless and Kraugel struck him with the sword .
Puok!
“Cough!”
The moment Lauel was pierced in the chest, Pon’s spear flashed towards Kraugel . Then it was blocked by the shield .
[The defense is successful!]
[The damage received has been reduced . ]
[You have suffered 1 damage . ]
[The shield’s durability has fallen by one . ]
The shield, a warrior only item . It was one of the items that Kraugel had obtained from the ‘underground hunt . ’ It could definitely block the enemy’s attack but it lost durability every time it was used to defend . The total durability was only 10 . But Kraugel wasn’t disappointed by the loss in the shield’s durability . It was because of who the opponents were The skills of the Lauel and Pon duo were excellent . Kraugel felt it was worth using the shield against them .
Snap!
Kraugel gripped Pon’s spear that was blocked by the shield . Then he used the elasticity of his body to dig it into Pon’s heart .
Puk!
Puk puk puk!
An attack that maximized the benefits of a dagger! He hadn’t reclaimed the sword piercing Lauel and there was already a small dagger in Kraugel’s hand . Two strikes quickly accumulated on Pon’s abdomen .
“Shit . . . !”
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it happened in the blink of an eye . Lauel lost concentration . But at this moment, the situation completely reversed . Lauel got goosebumps . He rushed to help Pon but Kraugel had already grabbed Pon’s neck and pushed him out the window frame .
Peok!
Kraugel grabbed Pon’s ankle to tilt him out the window and Pon fell out .
“Pon! Kuk!”
What was this creepy and realistic battle? Lauel got a chill as he was left alone . Kraugel dismissed the dagger and took out a new sword from his inventory . It was a great help that he secured many weapons in the underground hunting .
"This place is a big wide so it would be more advantageous for Pon . But as you can see, this is inside a building . From the beginning, the odds were low . ”
“You . . . !”
The word ‘monster’ almost popped out . Lauel barely closed his mouth as he looked out the window . He could see his allies coming on the clothesline .
In addition .
Piing!
He also saw the arrow aiming at Kraugel . The situation started to change rapidly once the archers fired . Lauel’s judgment was quick . Surprisingly, he was running to Jishuka, not Kraugel . It was to create a situation where Jishuka couldn’t control his enemies . Thanks to this, Kraugel was surrounded by arrows . His enemies managed to cross the clotheslines safely and reached the window frame .
Seokeok!
Kraugel judged that the answer wasn’t to avoid the arrows . He used the shield to block the arrows . Then he abandoned the shield that lost its durability .
He took a potion while attacking the enemies hanging on the window frame . But potions were more limited than the shield and Kraugel couldn’t hold out against the arrows forever . In the end, he only caused four enemies to fall and the remaining six enemies succeeded in entering the building .
“Lauel! You bastard!”
Jishuka shouted at Lauel while counterattacking . Lauel was amazed that she could fire an arrow again after being hit with an iron fan .
“Battlefield is great training . Thanks to the battle today, the Overgeared Guild will grow bigger . Please think about your trials as growing pains . "
“The training instructor is a dog! A master at ganging up on people! You lousy bastard!”
" . . . Is it King Grid’s influence? You use a lot of Korean curses . Well, it’s a hundred times better than learning from Huroi’s curses . ”
Lauel had regained his composure . Jishuka lost her motivation and her resistance started to weaken . Meanwhile, Kraugel was besieged in a narrow space .
‘We will win . ’
Lauel smiled as he watched a man competing with Kraugel . It was Soul Predator Seuron .
"You bastard! I will knock you down!”
Chaaeng! Chaeng chaeng!
Kraugel’s momentum weakened quickly as he blocked Seuron’s sword . He was already in a tired condition . In the first place, it was impossible to stop over 20 enemies . Were the enemies regular players? They were mainly rankers in the top 100 . They were talented enough to be called the best wherever they went .
‘I’m sorry, Grid . ’
Jishuka felt a sense of defeat as she saw Kraugel’s wounds . She couldn’t help being disappointed that she got help from Grid every time . She was filled with bitter frustration . Then suddenly,
"Kuaaaak!"
“This **** guy . . . !”
Jishuka came to her senses as she heard an enemy scream . She shifted her gaze and saw that Kraugel was still fighting against the enemies with unshakable eyes . He didn’t care that his health was in the single digits . He was focused . He always did his best . The arrows kept flying from the opposite building and he stood up to the six strongest people without flinching . Every time there was a wound on his body, he dealt two or three injuries to the enemy .
‘Me too . . . !’
Jishuka’s heart was grabbed . She was inspired by Kraugel, who did his best and didn’t feel despair under the same circumstances . She took a step forward .
At the same time .
Kwajak!
The firmly closed door opened with a loud sound . It was the door connected to downstairs . Yes, the door that the intruders were so eager to open . In addition, it was the door Grid was guarding .
“Grid . . . !”
At the same time, Jishuka and Kraugel faced the door . They were waiting for Grid . How funny . Could Grid fight alone against 10 enemies? He came here after repelling all enemies . It wasn’t a feasible fantasy .
Indeed .
“ . . . It’s chaos . ”
The person who opened the door wasn’t Grid . It was a man armed with a greatsword .
“Chris!” Lauel knew his identity and shouted with pleasure .
‘Grid was defeated?’
‘It’s hard to see . ’
Jishuka and Kraugel were forced to accept reality . They thought that Grid hadn’t survived . It was a reasonable judgment . So what if he could restore his health with scriptures? He could only inflict 1 damage on the enemy . . . Such a non-threatening attack couldn’t wipe out 10 of the strongest people . Jishuka’s face filled with dark clouds while Kraugel silently wielded the sword .
“Then . . . I wish you luck . . . Cough!”
Chris, who opened the door, suddenly coughed up blood and turned to grey .
Then .
"Ah, what is with you guys? Why are you so late? No matter how long I waited, I had to do it all by myself . Sigh, forget it . ”
Grid appeared among the grey ash scattering .
“Wave . ”
Sharp flashes reminiscent of a crescent moon cut down many enemies at the same time .
