Overgeared

There were games where field of view wasn’t important, but it was particularly emphasized in Satisfy. It was because some wide-area skills worked using ‘range of vision.’ The Undefeated King’s Swordsmanship was a prime example. Long-ranged skills that attacked by ‘specifying a target’ like Request to Stand With Me’s battle gear rain were also larger and the utilization increased when there was a longer field of view. If Grid had a third vision then his power would work even in places where he wasn’t present.

“Kuek!”

Back and forth, left and right, up and down.

No matter where he went, a black hand would rise from a dimensional gate without warning and persistently aim at Grid. This form of sniping that he had never experienced before consumed his mental power and physical strength.

‘Damn, what is this bullshit skill?’

A sniper where he couldn’t determine the sniping point... wasn’t it telling him to just open his eyes and be attacked? It was natural for a person in his position to swear. Grid was running and cursing when he suddenly questioned it. ‘Why is he targeting me?’

Barbatos’ subordinate, Krucha, was fighting with Leraje. Additionally, the reason Krucha was fighting Leraje was due to Demon Slayer Yura. Barbatos’ sniping priority should be Leraje or Yura. So why was he aiming for Grid?

‘It’s fortunate that he isn’t targeting Yura, but I don’t understand it.’

The ideal situation was for the sniping target to be Leraje. She was slowly regaining the dominant position in the fight despite previously being pushed back by Krucha. She seemed able to deal with Krucha and Barbatos’ sniping at the same time.

‘The aggro should be on Leraje so I can easily kill Krucha... Ah, that’s why he is targeting me.’

It was clear. Barbatos knew that sniping Leraje wasn’t efficient. Rather than ignoring the opponent two ranks lower than him, he was wary. He suppressed a demon’s aggressiveness.

‘Leraje seems to be special. The reason for not targeting Yura is because he has determined that Yura’s fighting power isn’t threatening to Krucha.’

Named bosses with intelligence would identify the player’s combat power and decide the hunting order. There were bosses who set the strongest player as top priority. For example, Elfin Stone appeared every 24 hours and kept using Extreme Blood Transfusion on Grid. On the other hand, there were bosses who set the weakest players as top priority. Barbatos seemed to belong to the former.

“Hell Leap.”

As Grid analyzed the situation, Yura opened a small portal connecting hell and the human world. Originally, this was a Demon Slayer ‘movement’ technique, but Yura knew how to apply it differently. She overlapped the portals in front of the gate where Barbatos’ sniping occurred and distorted his aim in a completely different direction. The black hand reaching out to Grid was sucked into the portal opened by Yura and then appeared in a remote place.

‘This is dangerous...’

Grid’s heart sank despite receiving help. He thought that Yura’s performance would cause Barbatos’ aggro to shift. It was as he expected. Barbatos’ sniping started targeting Yura, not Grid. The evaluation that Grid had a higher risk than Yura seemed to have changed.

“Avoid it!” Grid’s transcendent senses noticed the gate forming behind Yura’s back and he screamed urgently. Yura didn’t notice it until the moment the gate was opened behind her. A black hand emerged from the gate and grabbed at Yura’s body violently.

“Yura!” Grid’s expression distorted. However—

She was fine. Yura’s expression was calm as she was held by the black hand. The jade magic power flowing over the surface of her silver armor emitted a strong light.

“......?!”

The black hands contained terrifying demonic energy. Grid’s cloak had just been slightly touched by the hand, but it was eroded by demonic energy, reducing its durability and deteriorating its function. Yet the demonic energy scattered in front of this jade magic power. It was suppression, not purification. The Demon Slayer’s magic power suppressed the demonic energy in a way completely different from divine power. The sight of her intact appearance without any wounds flustered Grid.

The true value of the Demon Slayer that was often revealed made Grid feel admiration. The fact that Yura was unharmed and had enough potential to solve the difficulties in the future made Grid’s face shine brilliantly. Of course, the bright expression was soon erased.
