Overgeared

ed a bodyguard in case that absurd situation occurs again.’

He already had a powerful knight called Jude, but Jude was an NPC.
Unlike users, NPCs had a finite life.
He was reluctant to take them to dangerous places with him because he was worried about them dying.

However, Lauel was a user.
Youngwoo was making a happy expression when Lauel gave advice to him.

“You should be careful of Bondre.
Don’t give him time to case his ice prisons and webs.”

“I don’t know what ice prisons and webs are, but don’t they require casting time?”

“…Yes, but it will be difficult to approach him.”

Bondre could generate an ice barrier around 1m in diameter in less than 1.5 seconds.
Even if Grid advanced while resisting all types of status conditions like slow, frostbite and freeze, he would inevitably be delayed by the barrier.

“By the time you break the ice barrier, Bondre will finish casting his magic.”

So what? Ranged skills were the answer.

“If I had to give advice on how to fight…”

Youngwoo waved his hand at Lauel, who was trying to explain the timing to use the Transcended Link skill.

“I will take care of it.”

“Yes.”

It would be good to taste frustration at least once.
Lauel hoped that after Youngwoo was defeated by Bondre, he would abandon arrogance to become more prudent.
He didn’t know.
Youngwoo had already suffered numerous setbacks.

‘Anyway, I can log out Bondre in 5 seconds.’

Right now, Youngwoo wasn’t being arrogant.
He knew his strength better than anyone else, so he calmly grasped the situation.

‘I’m the strongest.’

Hurent had referred to boss monsters as fools who just used strength.
Boss monsters were strong, but they could be ignored.
But what was the reality? The pope, the Awakened Guardian of the Forest, and Hell Gao.
Had Hurent ever struggled with big shots like them? Even if he had fought strong boss monsters, had he ever defeated them alone?

‘He doesn’t understand the subject.’

Youngwoo ignored such a man.
Didn’t he smash that conceited guy in 5 seconds? It was funnier the more he thought about it.

“Puhuhu.” Youngwoo laughed.

『 After a while, the first match of the round of 16 will begin.
All participants should go to the capsule room.
』

Youngwoo moved according to the guide.

“I am on a different dimension from all of you.”

The only legend.
He would show the world why a legend was a legend.
And.

『 Grid, who logged out Aura Master Hurent in 5 seconds and the undefeated Bondre! With hundreds of thousands of spectators and hundreds of millions of viewers watching! Their showdown! Start! 』

Papat!

Grid and Bondre appeared in the desolate garden of the Lion’s Castle.

“Ice Field.”

Bondre didn’t delay.
He immediately changed the surroundings to make it more advantageous to him.

Jjejeok! Jjejejejeok!

The ground in a 50m radius was completely frozen.
Now Grid would slip if he moved even one step.
And.
Grid stood in place, not even trying to take one step.

Bondre laughed.

‘I’ve blocked his skills.’

Grid needed at least four steps every time he used Pagma’s Swordsmanship.
But now he couldn’t move as he liked on the ice field.
And even if he didn’t slip?

‘A sharp piece of ice will protrude with every step he makes, meaning it is impossible to do his sword dance.’

Grid had only one choice.
He couldn’t use skills on the ground.
So he would inevitably fly up in the sky.
Bondre was planning to completely trap Grid using the Ice Spider Web.

‘I will finish it with Absolute Zero.’

Ssik.

As Bondre was smiling with satisfaction.
Grid still didn’t take a single step as he swung his black greatsword lightly.

“Golden Flash.”

Kuwaaaaaang!

A skill attached to Dainsleif (Reproduction).

Golden Flash was an instant skill, unlike Pagma’s Swordsmanship.
The speed was brilliant when used in a flat area.
Just…

Grid was a warrior type player so he couldn’t use Golden Flash efficiently due to his lack of magic power.
However, the current Grid…

Grid’s intelligence reached 853 when he wore Malacus’ Cloak.
He had the level 200 stats awakening.
In other words, the second awakening meant mana would increase by 6 and magic damage by 2 with every point in intelligence.

Grid currently had 1,706 magic power.
What if this was multiplied by many times? The attack power would far exceed that of Bondre’s Absolute Zero.

“What…?”

Didn’t Grid always dance when he used a skill? Then what was this skill? He didn’t expect it at all.

“Ice Barrier!”

Bondre paled as he hurriedly used magic.
Ice Barrier was the shield with the most ‘physical defense’ among all the shields Bondre could use.
It was helpless in front of Golden Flash that dealt damage proportional to magic power.

Jjejeong!

“Heok…!”

Golden Flash completely penetrated through the shield.
With its overwhelming aura, the ice barrier collapsed instantly.

[You have suffered 12,530 damage.]

A blow that took 40% of a user’s health at once would stun the user for three seconds.
Just now, Bondre lost 80% of his health.

[You can’t regain your mental state.]

“W-What…!”

He felt a chill go down his spine.
Dozens of energy blades were coming towards his face.

“…!”

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

A devastating explosion shook the Lion’s Castle.
The commentator witnessed a faint grey light and shouted reflexively.

『 P-Player Bondre has been logged out…! 』

This time it was 4 seconds.
‘4 seconds’ was ranked first on the real time search terms of various portal sites.
The world was once again in shock.

Zibal jumped to his feet in shock.

“He broke the ice barrier? That means his magic power…!”

Zibal hadn’t lost his composure when Hurent lost.
Hurent was overconfident and was stung by Grid.
It didn’t mean anything more.
But now that idea had changed.

‘A monster.’

Was Grid hiding a special trick? Nonsense.
He wasn’t hiding anything.
His power just significantly exceeded Zibal’s predictions.
It was immeasurable.
Yes, just like Kraugel.
He was someone that couldn’t be matched until the third advancement class.

Then the world started pouring praise towards Grid.
Korean netizens united for the first time in almost 100 years and shouted ‘God Grid!’ The experts also didn’t ignore Grid anymore.

『 The phrase ‘Praise God Grid’ is spreading on the Internet.
I also want to praise God Grid.
』

『 That… Me too… 』

『 … 』

Satisfy.

At a hunting ground, Peak Sword witnessed a party composed of foreigners and asked them in broken English.

“Do you know Grid?”
