Overgeared Chapter 964:
The waiting room was crowded with players who had been eliminated from the Demon King Subjugation event .
“ . . . ”
Why was Grid the Demon King, and what did he gain in exchange for that? Perhaps he was monopolizing a lot of rewards? If it turned out to be preferential treatment, they would have a chance to raise some issues . The players’ minds were in a very complicated state . There weren’t only one or two problems to worry about .
Despite this, they were silent for a few minutes without discussing anything with each other . All the players were concentrating on Grid and Kraugel on the screen . They didn’t want to miss the opportunity to see the power of the two people .
“ . . . . ?”
A few minutes passed by . After a fierce battle, Grid seemed to be in a somewhat unfavorable position, and he pulled out a sword breaker . He cried out absurd words about producing an item, but it was just a trick to shake Kraugel as he seemed to take it out of his inventory .
A sword to break a sword . . .
It was obviously an item to counter Sword Saint Kraugel . Still, it was doubtful if it would work .
“No one is currently using that . ”
“Unless a person has the relevant passive skill, it has limitations and is difficult to control . ”
“Grid used it for only a moment a few years ago, so I don’t think he will handle it properly . ”
Among the players, Jishuka asked Chris, “Isn’t this a dangerous decision?”
Jishuka was an archer, but she was well versed in swordsmanship . It was because she was a woman who dreamed of becoming a supreme player . In order to apply different concepts to archery and to supplement the weaknesses of archery, she studied all possible fields .
“I think there will be a mishap . ” Jishuka was anxious . Based on her insight, Grid fought in a way that faithfully practiced what he experienced and learned . The total amount of experience he accumulated was so high that he could cope with many situations, but his creativity was insufficient .
On the other hand, Kraugel’s movements were creative from beginning to end . It was no less than the experience that Grid had accumulated . Additionally, Grid’s stats and items had fallen a bit lower . This was already the fourth fight with Kraugel .
. . . Grid was likely to be on the defensive one-sidedly .
Talent—Grid needed to work hard to make up for his terrible talent . Grid’s control might be better than that of other players here, but it was definitely below the level of the genius Kraugel . Although Grid brought out the threatening weapon that was a sword breaker, it was unknown if he would be able to properly take advantage of it . Kraugel could deflect the sword breaker, and Grid might have to pay a hefty price for using an unfamiliar weapon .
Jishuka bit her red nails . It was hard for her to shake off her anxiety because she didn’t understand Grid’s decision . Chris nodded and opened his mouth, “Hrmm, well . . . It is risky . If Kraugel is a professional racer, the difference in the skills is enough to call Grid a normal person with two years of driving experience . ”
“Isn’t that too harsh? What do you think about our Grid?”
“No, I have no intention of putting down Grid . It is just a proper analogy . . . ”
“Three years . Let’s go with three years of experience . ”
“ . . . Yes . ”
What was the difference between two or three years of driving experience? Chris frowned, but he knew Jishuka’s heart and that she wanted Grid to be treated even a bit better . Jishuka was a violent and scary woman, but she was clearly good bride material for ‘Grid alone . ’ She would make an excellent wife . He shook his head .
Jishuka urged him, “Keep talking . If Kraugel is a professional driver while Grid is a driver with four years of experience . . . ?”
“Three years . . . Yes, a driver with four years of experience and a professional driver—the difference between the two of them is obvious . But that’s it . ” A smile spread across Chris’ face . “Kraugel’s car is a Chinese car while Grid’s car is a Ferrari . ”
They were people who were the most familiar with Grid . Between having talent and being overgeared, which was the higher-level concept? It was being overgeared . Ultimately, it was a fact that being overgeared was the best .
Grid proved this fact personally . Could he really take out an ordinary sword breaker after directly feeling that his skills were less than Kraugel’s? It was certainly a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, and it would complement Grid’s relatively poor technique . Chris was convinced of this .
On the screen, Grid’s sword breaker clashed with Kraugel’s sword . Then something magical happened . The sword breaker pulled at Kraugel’s sword, and it slipped between the grooves in the blade .
“What is that?”
“Hah . . . What is that effect?”
“What the **** is that principle?”
The players trembled as they made a fuss . The scene was shocking . Jishuka clasped her hands together and shouted . Meanwhile, Chris’ eyes widened, and he clicked his tongue . ‘Is it a Bugatti?’

- A sword produced by the legendary blacksmith Grid .
There are several deep grooves on one side to form a saw blade . The purpose is to block and destroy swords . All swordsmen in the world should be afraid .
The ‘Strengthened Blue Dragon’s Breath’ and ‘Astaroth’s Horn’ has increased the lightning energy to the peak .
User Restrictions: Level 300 or higher . Advanced Sword Mastery Level 1 .
Weight: 280]
A sword breaker that flashed with blue lightning—its form was far from rigid or sharp . Its blade was short and didn’t seem suitable for attack purposes . Due to the fine grooves, the content of iron itself was lowered and the blade’s durability seemed poor .
However, it was enough to be threatening . There was no swordsman who didn’t fear a sword which was born to break swords . Kraugel would’ve felt a great deal of pressure if he were an ordinary swordsman, but he was a Sword Saint . He was the master of swords and could handle them completely .
So, he wasn’t shaken . Kraugel unleashed a torrent of swings and pressed Grid back . There was an explosion, and the White Tiger Sword headed toward the right side at the same time . Grid blocked with the Enlightenment Sword and attempted to grab the White Tiger Sword with the sword breaker . It was a quick and ruthless movement . Even so, there was a limit to how fast it could be .
Kraugel slid down the White Tiger Sword and moved his body close to Grid, striking Grid’s left wrist with his elbow . The sword breaker, which was aiming for the White Tiger Sword, headed toward the ground while Kraugel pushed Grid’s chest with a hard shoulder . Then he raised the White Tiger Sword up again .
Like a snake, the White Tiger Sword headed toward the Enlightenment Sword . He disturbed Grid’s mental state and slashed . Grid backed away . A close-range battle was considered disadvantageous due to the difference in technique . Nevertheless, Kraugel didn’t miss . He clung to Grid fiercely and didn’t give him a chance to wield the swords in both his hands . Kraugel even wielded his fists, and his storm-like swordsmanship at close range caused the commentators to fall silent .
Despite this, Grid wasn’t shaken . He became calmer as Kraugel’s offensive grew fiercer . Most of the experience Grid accumulated had been from difficult combat . Grid fought better as the situation worsened .
‘Divinity . Item Combination . ’ Grid gritted his teeth and triggered a skill . He combined Valhalla of Infinite Affection that he was wearing with Triple Layers . That’s right . This was the combination of armor and armor . It reduced the physical damage he received by 30%, and any damage from cuts or stabs were reduced by 50% . The passive skill Sword Breaker was also created . The critical features of Triple Layers were added to Valhalla .
All of a sudden, Grid’s expression changed .
“ . . . ?!” Kraugel’s eyes shook the moment he stabbed Grid with the sword .
[The target has received 3,880 damage . ]
It wasn’t just because the damage was greatly reduced .
[The durability of the Domineering White Tiger Sword has decreased by 25!]
The sword which Grid had made and given to Kraugel cried out painfully .
‘The sword breaker option has been added to armor?’
This was a bit dirty . . . The momentarily strained Kraugel stepped back . The Blue Dragon Sword Breaker, which had a very short length compared to the Enlightenment Sword, struck him . Of course, Kraugel wasn’t beaten easily . He tried to twist the sword breaker’s trajectory by sliding the White Tiger Sword along the edge of the blade to avoid the grooves .
However, it didn’t work the way he wanted . The sword that should be one with him didn’t listen . The White Tiger Sword was pulled by an invisible force and stopped in place . It engaged with the saw blade part, seemingly attracted by a magnetic force .
‘What?’ Kraugel shivered . The sword breaker made swordsmanship unimportant . It was an absurdity that was even more deadly against those who were at the peak of swordsmanship . This was a predator that could destroy the concept of providence .
“Pinnacle Kill . ”
The skill that contained a stifling killing intent fell toward Kraugel’s chest . Kraugel was in a hurry and forcibly pulled the White Tiger Sword away from the sword breaker . However, the price of doing so was great .
[The durability of the Domineering White Tiger Sword has decreased by 153!]
“Kuek . . . !”
How did he lose more than one-tenth durability at once? Kraugel’s expression twisted, and he used Quick Command . The illusion of wings expanded, and he left the position intact . It was the development that Grid had been hoping for .
“Fly . ”
Grid recovered Pinnacle Kill and rose into the air . It wasn’t to keep track of Kraugel . He was targeting the four swords that were fighting the God Hands .
‘Don’t tell me?’ Kraugel paled as he read Grid’s intentions . Quick Command finished, and he returned to his original spot . Meanwhile, Grid destroyed all four swords facing the God Hands . The newly liberated God Hands fired Magic Missiles at Kraugel . Kraugel triggered Sword Curtain and blocked it .
Then Grid’s voice rang out, “Do you have 30 swords? Take all of them out . ”
Grid floated in the sky . His arms were folded as the four golden hands protected him . It was a very familiar look to the public . They felt he had become even more overbearing and arrogant than when he was the Demon King .
“Transcended Link . ”
The storm of energy blades swept the ground, and the God Hands holding Mjolnir flew toward Kraugel . Kraugel used True Clouds and Control Sword in an attempt to stop the God Hands, but Grid appeared like a ghost and destroyed all the swords . The fragments of the swords scattered about, reflecting Kraugel’s face like it had been split into hundreds of fragments .
Kraugel was making an expression he had never shown before . It was a confused expression .
“ . . . It will soon end . ”
The players sensed it . Their voices were clearly raised . They had seen the ideals they should pursue .
