Overgeared

aking it tens or hundreds of times higher than a player.
While Grid’s health gauge dropped by 1/7th or 1/6th every time he allowed an attack, Lorex’s health gauge was still healthy.

‘In this state, Grid has no chance.
Let’s get rid of the Fifth Knight and look for an opportunity to help…’

The moment Ares thought this.

“Eh…?”’

Sounds of admiration were heard. Liberon Forest had a high temperature and thick water vapor. Now a red and purple aura started to be emitted from Grid’s body, which had been hidden by the thick water vapor. It was fighting energy. In fact, Grid was wrapped in fighting energy since he first appeared but other people couldn’t see it because of the blood and water vapor.
But as the color became thicker, it became visible through the water vapor.

 

[Fighting energy has reached 50 points.]

 

Jjang!

Jjeejeeeong!

“Kuoh…!”

Lorex’s eyes widened as he allowed an attack from Grid.
He couldn’t believe how much stronger the attack was.

“I see…! You’re a berserker!”

He felt that Grid’s defense was too high for a berserker, but he was forced to think like this.
Grid shook his head at Lorex’s shout.

“Berserker? No.”

“????”

“It’s a basic attack.”

“Ik…! What nonsense does this guy keep saying!?”

Lorex was filled with anger.
He was furious at Grid’s response.
He roared like a beast and unleashed an onslaught.

‘This bastard, his endurance is monster-like.’

Two minutes had passed since Lorex started the battle. But it felt like Grid had been fighting for 30 minutes or 1 hour. It was a battle that allowed one hit per second and four counterattacks. Grid’s stamina could afford it, but his mental power couldn’t. He needed to focus his concentration and power every second.

That’s right.
Grid felt a strong sense of mental pressure.

Kwajak!

‘I think he is equipped with a passive blood-sucking ability.’

Grid coughed up blood as his chest was hit by the axe and watched Lorex’s health gauge.
It seemed to be rising a bit.

‘Damn bastard…
It seems to be a passive skill since he doesn’t use too many active skills.
That makes it stronger.’

Grid was well aware that Lorex was stronger than him.
It was because his flat damage was much stronger than Madra and the experience of items such as Elfin Stone’s Ring, Tiramet's Belt, and the God Hands increased more than when he fought Madra. He thought carefully about it.
He concentrated carefully in order to not miss anything.
Then he reached a conclusion.

‘I don’t have a chance of victory.’

It seemed virtually impossible to defeat Lorex, who had more than 10 million health, with basic attacks.

‘It might be possible with Pagma’s Swordsmanship.’

This monster-like persistence? He would be able to neutralize it with the overwhelming offensive power of Pagma’s Swordsmanship. But the current Grid couldn’t use any techniques that symbolized the Overgeared King.
It was because his identity couldn’t be discovered.

So? Was he going to run away because there was no chance?

‘No.’

It felt different from when he met Yangban Garam and First Knight Mercedes. Lorex’s presence fell far short of them. In addition, Grid had a high opinion of himself.
 It wasn’t arrogance.
A hero of heroes, was it an easy title to obtain? Grid trusted his skills.

‘Think about it, Youngwoo.
How can I beat this guy?’

“Kuhahahaha! You must be tired!”

‘This!’

He had been thinking too deeply. Grid blanked out for one second. He didn’t strike back and in the gap, Lorex used a skill. The blue black aura around Lorex’s axe flooded towards Grid.
The ripple of energy at the end of the axe looked like it was about to explode.
It was likely to be an attack in the form of splash damage like the black flames.

‘I can’t stop it when I can’t even stop his basic attacks.
Shit, I have to use Quick Movements for evasive purposes…!’

But it was better than losing the immortal passive.
Grid determined and was about to use Quick Movements.

'Wait? Explode?’

An object passed through his mind.
As Lorex’s axe flew towards his face, Grid pulled out a large fabric.

Cloak?

No, it was a piece of cloth.

“Grid…! Eh?”

Ares judged that Grid was in danger when Lorex used the skill. He ran out to help Grid only to freeze in place. He felt something when he saw Grid pulled out a piece of cloth.
Right then, Lorex’s axe hit Grid.
No, he cut the piece of cloth before it hit Grid.

Lorex snorted.

‘This guy really is crazy!’

He must be crazy to block Volcano Axe that could destroy the whole area with a piece of cloth. Well, he could understand.
Volcano Axe was a strong technique that couldn’t be blocked or avoided.
There was nothing strange about doing something crazy when it was meaningless to resist.

“…Eh?”

A dark smile appeared on Lorex’s face as he imagined the man being killed by an explosion. His mind went blank for a moment.
It was because his axe, which should’ve emitted a powerful energy, became silent the moment it was wrapped in the cloth.

‘What?’

He felt possessed! Lorex couldn’t understand it, but he retreated because his vision was blocked. Grid’s sword stabbed his side. A basic attack as usual? That’s right.
But this time, he immediately linked a skill between the basic attacks as usual.

“Unbreakable Justice!”

Peeeeeong!

“…!!”

Lorex’s eyes turned white.
