Overgeared

In Satisfy’s history, Old Sword Demon was a very interesting figure. First of all, he was a mystery because there was no record of his assassinations. The nature of an assassin’s class was to build up ‘assassination achievements’, raising their fame and gaining additional abilities. It meant that having an assassination record was more beneficial for them. Yet there was no record of Old Sword Demon’s assassinations. In order to be a perfect killer, he gave up his reputation and didn’t publish his assassination record, but he was still first in the rankings.

There had been a rumor in the world. “Old Sword Demon might not know that he was transferred to the assassin class.”

It was ridiculous considering how his ID was ‘sword demon,’ which was because of his skill in combat and use of a long sword as his main weapon. The assassin’s signature mastery skill was with daggers, but Old Sword Demon used a long sword and enjoyed a fair match instead of attacking in the darkness. This gave rise to the joke that he should be a swordsman. Therefore, the new generation often knew Old Sword Demon as a ‘good swordsman’.

“Old Sword Demon...”

Grid’s eyes were shining as he watched Old Sword Demon. Grid recognized Old Sword Demon as a special being, just as many people admired and honored the current Grid. It was from the days when Grid was still obscure. In a time when he was envious of good-looking people and felt a sense of inferiority, he had a subtle affinity for Old Sword Demon’s ID. It was an ID that would make people doubt the person’s nature as long as it was in Korean characters. Back in the days when Grid was dissatisfied with society, he thought it was a good ID. He felt that Old Sword Demon was swearing at the world on his behalf.

‘I was young at that time.’

How twisted had he been? Grid smiled at the absurdity of his past self and concentrated on observing Old Sword Demon.

In the past, Grid couldn’t accurately measure the skills of Old Sword Demon. Grid’s level itself had been low, so he hadn’t been able to feel any inspiration after seeing the skills of Old Sword Demon, who had been the best at the time. He had just vaguely thought that this person was great. Now it was different. Grid had become stronger through repeated life and death battles with powerful enemies and was now at the highest level in the world.

Old Sword Demon’s long sword tilted at an angle. Then an amazing sight unfolded. The short spear that was entangled around Old Sword Demon’s sword couldn’t handle the force and was thrown out. The sharp spear was thrown in the direction of Maru. The same short spear that Maru had thrown ended up attacking him.

‘He is very skilled at using his wrist.’

It was almost like an attack from Kraugel, but the power was a bit weaker. If it had been Kraugel instead of Old Sword Demon, the spear rushing at Maru would’ve been 1.2 times faster. If it were Grid, the spear would have flown twice as fast, but unfortunately, Grid didn’t have this much technique.

“Bah!” Maru snorted and appeared in front of Old Sword Demon. He swung his feet while simultaneously hitting Old Sword Demon’s abdomen with his shoulder.

Three prerequisites were needed for Old Sword Demon to be able to respond to this. He had to understand the Shunpo skill, predict the timing at which Maru used it, and have at least 2,500 agility. Old Sword Demon met all three conditions. The moment he was hit in the abdomen, he responded immediately by tilting his upper body back, avoiding Maru’s kick. He even hit back.

Old Sword Demon’s sword brushed past Maru’s hair, creating a strong wind pressure. Maru recovered his feet, exposed his back to Old Sword Demon, and leaned back like he was leaning into Old Sword Demon’s arms. Then he grabbed Old Sword Demon’s neck with his arms, and it seemed as if Old Sword Demon’s neck would be broken like this.

It was really the worst position. Maru’s technique was reminiscent of Bubat’s, and Old Sword Demon looked like he was in a very disadvantageous position. It was fair to say that the harmony between Shunpo and Maru, who became stronger the closer he was to the target, was the best.

‘He can’t do it either.’

Grid hurriedly tried to use Shunpo.

[Shunpo has failed to trigger.]

‘Damn!’

It seemed that Old Sword Demon’s neck would be broken. Grid felt a chill down his spine and was about to launch Magic Missile. Then there was a small explosion, and Old Sword Demon’s body was covered in smoke before disappearing. Maru’s hands were floundering in the air instead of grasping Old Sword Demon’s neck.

“...?!”

“...?!”

Both Grid and Bondre, who were watching the battle, were full of doubts. Maru looked around. Just then, the disappeared Old Sword Demon reappeared in his original position. His neck was clearly marked with red handprints. That’s right. Old Sword Demon hadn’t left Maru’s grasp. He had just completely concealed his presence from the world for a while. In fact, his neck had still been in Maru’s hands, but Maru was simply unaware of this fact. If Maru hadn’t immediately released his grip, then Old Sword Demon would’ve died of a broken neck.

Maru started a fierce exchange with Old Sword Demon’s sword.

“Spit.”

“...!”

“Spit spit!”

Old Sword Demon avoided and blocked Maru’s attacks and kept spitting. It wasn’t a technique developed from spitting only once or twice. His saliva precisely struck Maru’s pupils, so Maru had to be conscious of it. Thanks to this, the almost collapsed Old Sword Demon was able to shake Maru off.

and Bondre’s eyes shook even more as they watched the confrontation between Old Sword Demon and Maru. Both of them were shocked by Old Sword Demon’s dirty combat style. The good news was that the other high rankers weren’t watching the battle between Old Sword Demon
