Overgeared

[The audience voting has ended.]

[The winner of the most votes is the Demon King.]

“What? What nonsense is this?”

It was an absurd notification window. Some players responded violently.

“A monster was included in the voting? Does this make sense? Why are they playing around with busy people?”

“Don’t you know the nature of those S.A people? They didn’t want to pay the compensation so they included the Demon King in the voting. They played us.”

They were all elites who represented their country. No one cursed due to the weight of the stage called the National Competition. However, the atmosphere was terrible enough that it wouldn’t be strange if there was cursing. The Demon King wasn’t a player and it was right for him to be excluded from the voting. In the first place, they wouldn’t have let the Demon King have an active role if they knew he was included in the voting.

It was the logic of the players. They protested that they shouldn’t recognize the Demon King’s votes. However, the S.A Group’s reply was, “We never said the voting was limited to players.”

The S.A Group that moved according to its own rules was famous for being a ‘wall’ and their logic couldn’t be refuted. Furthermore, this situation was a positive for the majority of players. It was better for none of them to benefit than for one outstanding player to monopolize the rewards.

The players studied Kraugel. Kraugel was silent. He had an arrogant expression like he wasn’t interested in the rewards from the beginning.

“Thank you for your efforts.” Yoon Nahee greeted Grid after he returned to the waiting room. She hadn’t expected Grid to be this active.

Breaking down magic and duplicating it. Grid suspected that the S.A Group might’ve intervened in the probability of Magic Contemplation skill of the Duke of Wisdom, since the above aspects had a 50% and 4% chance of activating respectively.

‘It is a game of luck.’

The perfect activation of Magic Contemplation was the good fortune due to the increase in his good luck stat. Grid prayed that he would walk a path of luck in the future and asked about something he doubted. “By the way, won’t there be doubts over the Demon King being included in the voting?”

“What doubts?”

“That the Demon King is actually a player.”

“It is hard to doubt that a monster is actually a player. Who would imagine that a player would be a raid target for 400 people?”

In the first place, Grid was covered in the skin of the Demon King. Grid’s appearance, his items and his pets all looked different. The skill names and descriptions had also changed. The lightning storm used in the Demon King’s Appearance event was also different from usual. For example, lava appeared on the ground and the sound from the sky was subtly different from usual. It was virtually impossible to doubt that the Demon King was a player and then associate that player with Grid.

“Then I’m glad.”

Grid was reassured and sat in his spot with a light heart. The PvP semi-finals were about to begin.
