Overgeared

TL Note: Please go back and read chapter 944 again. The author went back to edit up the mentions of Valhalla in the fight between Kraugel and the Hero, and there also seemed to be a big piece cut from my version of the raws. I’ve fixed it and there are an extra 500 or so words added to chapter 944.

“Rides are normally classified as pets but the magic machine seems different. Is it classified as an item?”

“What resources does it require to move? Based on the size and output, the magic machine should be able to operate for a long time if it uses external resources.”

“I saw the symbol of the Saharan Empire on the magic machine. Doesn’t this mean it is the possession of the empire? How big is Zibal’s position in the empire that he can personally operate a magic machine? Is he attached to the royal family?”

“Does the empire have several magic machines?”

It was the ceremony after the PvP event ended. Zibal’s press conference seemed to be flowing smoothly. The questions and answers were within the expected range. However, it was rare for reporters to stick to being gentlemanly. Most reporters wanted stimulating articles and the atmosphere deteriorated.

“Player Zibal! Why did you call the pegasus first during the finals? Did you determine that you could win against Yura without using the magic machine?”

In the semi-finals, Zibal met Chris and instantly summoned the magic machine. Then in the important finals, he summoned the pegasus and magic machine in succession, which led to many people speculating. Zibal was poking fun at Yura. He intended to defeat Yura with the pegasus alone. It meant he thought that Yura was below Chris. Yura’s legendary class was a pig wearing a pearl necklace, etc.

This issue arose due to people, who liked to disparage and criticize others, calling into question Yura’s qualifications and the reporters dug into this part.

Zibal laughed. It was filled with obvious ridicule. It was at the reporter who asked the question and the viewers watching on the monitor. “Some of you might’ve already noticed but the pegasus has the characteristic of quickly consuming the enemy’s resources like mana. The help of the pegasus is indispensable when it comes to suppressing Yura’s utility.”

In conclusion: “I didn’t summon the pegasus because she was an easy opponent. I was forced to use the pegasus because she was a hard opponent.”

Zibal raised Yura up. No, it was a reasonable evaluation. He wouldn’t underestimate or mock a strong person who climbed to the finals and fought hard.

Everything was over. She was no longer Player Yura. The more than five years she spent in Satisfy ended today.

“...”

Yura was swept away by her emotions and ran to the bathroom without completing the interview. She didn’t even have the energy to blame her own incompetence.

‘...In the end, I can’t escape.’

Yura vividly remembered her father. He wasn’t greedy and cherished time with his family the most. However, her grandfather forced him to be greedy. He ordered a sacrifice for the sake of the company, not the family. Her father was driven to accept that responsibility and gradually lost his energy.

Yura had felt sorry for her father despite being a young child. Of course, she didn’t express it. She knew that her father wouldn’t want sympathy from his young daughter. Yura played innocent. She tried to relieve her father’s fatigue by acting as a beautiful daughter.

Thus, her father could be honest. “Father is working hard because I want you to be free, not because I’m afraid of your grandfather. Yura, you only have to do things that make you happy. Father will protect you.”

It was a wish and promise to a young girl who knew nothing. This sincerity was deeply engraved in Yura’s heart. It remained there even after years passed and she lost her parents in an accident. Yura longed for freedom and happiness while hoping to achieve her father’s wish. That’s why she felt it was fate when she encountered Satisfy. She sensed it was the only way to get away from her grandfather’s obsession and find happiness.

In the end, the result was terrible. Yura had become like her father rather than achieving her father’s wish.

How much time passed? Yura regained her mind when she felt her phone vibrating. The caller was obvious. It would be her grandfather. A person who didn’t understanding caring and how to concede. He only knew how to enforce responsibility. He probably wanted her to come back to South Korea right away.

“...?”

Yura’s lonely eyes that lost their light turned to the LCD screen, only for her to freeze. The name of the caller displayed on the LCD was Shin Youngwoo, not her grandfather. It was someone she never had private contact with even though they knew each other for more than four years. A cold man who sometimes seemed full of affection but was usually heartless.

“...”

Yura hesitated to accept the call. It was likely that her mood would become worse if she accepted the call from Grid in such a difficult situation. There was only one reason why Grid would be calling. He called whenever he needed Yura’s help.
