Pagmas Swordsmanship, Linked Kill Wave.

What!?

The disadvantage of Pagmas Swordsmanship was its high mana consumption and long cooldowns. But he overcame those shortcomings with the powerful combination of skills. Thats right. Grid knew that it was possible to combine the skills of Pagmas Swordsmanship. But according to the experiments conducted by Grid, it was limited to combining two skills. However, Grids clone had combined three skills.

I never managed to do it.

The impact on Grid was great. It showed a skill combination that he didnt even know about? His pride was hurt and he was confused. Now he couldnt afford to be worried.

Its urgent to determine what skills it has.

The time that passed was less than a second. Grids brain started turning quickly.

In the case of the level 2 Linked Kill, the power of Kill is weakened, but it can shoot anywhere from 3~8 attacks.

Then what if Wave was added to it?

It cant be!

A terrible thought passed through Grids head.

Will Kill be continuously unfolded in a wave?

No, that was too much of a scam. There was no way. He tried to shake his head, but couldnt help but have a bad feeling.

Kurururung!

Grids clone moved its sword in the air and quickly connected Kill.

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

The red afterglow of Kill was overlaid with the blue of Wave, spreading out in all directions. It was truly overwhelming. The power of each one was lethal, and also had the slowing function of Wave. Grid used Fly to escape, but it chased after him like a hungry beast.

Unbelievable!

Grid felt like when he was confronting Piaros skill. The fusion of three of Pagmas Swordsmanship skills was powerful and perfect. Yes, this was a true legendary skill.

I must learn it.

Grid felt admiration, astonishment, and desperation. He needed to cope with the eight Kills. His past self wouldve likely been hit before he could escape. But.

I have Revolve.

Revolve had a cooldown time of 2 minutes. But using it first would be disadvantageous. What if he used Revolve? The other side would also use Revolve to send it back to him.

Not yet.

Grid summoned four God Hands to block four of the Kill attacks. However, the clone also used his God Hands to keep Grids God Hands in check.

Dammit!

Grid saw that the God Hands were blocked and summoned Randy.

Change locations with me!

Yes!

He felt sorry and ashamed that he had to sacrifice Randy. But what could he do? A user would lose experience and items when dying, but a pet only received the penalty of not being summoned for 24 hours. Objectively, it was right to sacrifice Randy instead of Grid.

Supak!

Randy copied Grids appearance as soon as he appeared and changed positions with Grid.

Pepepepeok!

Afterwards, Randy was hit by the eight Kill attacks.

Kyaaak!

Randy cried out with pain as he turned to grey. Grid felt a stinging pain in his chest.

[Doppelganger Randys health has fallen to 0.]

[Randy is forced to return to the pet inventory. You cant summon it for the next 24 hours.]

You!

Grids eyes were grim as he saw the rising notification windows. Randy and Kill collided, causing an explosion. Then Grid moved through it and used Kill on the clone. Grid wanted his clone to respond with Revolve. Grid would then respond with the Lv.3 Revolve, which returned 160% of the damage. He could neutralize the counterattack and cause more damage at the same time.

However, the clone didnt do as Grid wanted. Unlike the stupid BOT (artificial intelligence players) that could be seen in normal games, Grids clone was equipped with the artificial intelligence of a named NPC. The clone recognized the fact that using Revolve first was a disadvantage.

Puok!

It was perfectly calculated. The clone judged that he wouldnt die even if he was stabbed in the heart with Kill. A chill went down Grids spine. The clone started moving his feet the moment he was hit by Kill.

This is the footwork of Link!

Kill had straight footwork, while Link was curved. Of course, Grid judged that it was possible to avoid Kill using the movements of Link. In fact, Grids clone knew it as well.

Halt!

The clone used the footwork of Kill to move backwards, then moved to the left and right. At this point, Grid cut at his clone with Link.

Pit!

Pipipipipit!

Blood splattered. However, the momentum of Grids clone didnt die. Grid received solid evidence. Grids clone succeeded in using a skill while hit by Link.

Pinnacle Kill.

!!

Combining a skill without using Link as the medium? Grids eyes widened. At this moment, Grids confusion was reaching the extreme. But the countless battle experience hed built up so far wasnt in vain.

Grid acted instinctively. He responded by twisting the trajectory of Link to cut the Pinnacle Kill. But Link was a technique that focused on speed rather than power. The power wasnt comparable to Pinnacle Kill or Kill. It was a bad idea to defend against the combined Pinnacle Kill with Link.

Chaaeng!

Pinnacle Kill crushed the power of Link.

Puok!

[You have suffered 59,300 damage.]

Kuaaaak!

Grid let out a large scream and felt stunned. A targeted skill that combined the power of Kill and Pinnacle. It was an outrageous power that made Grids defense obsolete.

[You have lost more than half of your health in one blow! You will be stunned for three seconds!]

[Resisted with the passive effect of One who Became a Legend.]

Shit

Grid hurriedly moved. He wanted to use Pagmas Swordsmanship, Wave, to open up the distance and escape. However, there was a clear difference between Grid and Grids clone. The moment that Grids clone used Linked Kill Wave, Grid had tried to find a way to avoid it. But the clones main focus was on blocking Grids skills. This meant that the clone was a cut above Grid.

Puok!

Kuk!

Grid shook tremendously as he used Wave. It was because the clone precisely broke his ankle, causing his posture to collapse. Due to that, the skill casting was cancelled.

This rotten person knows my weaknesses better than me.

He couldnt help cursing. Grid was still lacking. He hated his own ignorance that allowed the clone to stop his casting.

Swaeek!

Iyarugt was swung towards Grid. After using the skill with Grids Greatsword, it had swapped to Iyarugt. It was proof that the clone had high comprehension of items.

Blackening.

Peeng!

Black magic exploded with Grid in the center. Grid avoided the enemys attacks while confirming his rising stats. He linked Blacksmiths Rage and Quick Movements, before using Linked Kill. It was so fast that Grids clone couldnt prevent it.

Puok!

Puk puk!

[You have dealt 35,300 damage to the target.]

[You have dealt 36,106 damage to the target.]

I did it properly!

He stabbed the greatsword forward and bet on his victory. Grid believed he would clear the 40th island the moment that the next Linked Kill strike was about to strike flesh But what was the truth? It was the wrong judgment.

[The target has recovered 54,159 health.]

Dorans Ring instantly restored 50% of the damage as health, while the Holy Light Armor raised health regeneration by 300%.

Grids clone quickly restored his health by taking advantage of these two items. He followed up with Blacksmiths Rage and Quick Movements, succeeding in avoiding Grids third Linked Kill.

Its a scam.

The effect of Dorans Ring and the Holy Light Armor was ridiculously excellent. Had he been using such fraudulent items all this time? He felt sorry for all the enemies hed faced in the meantime.

Well, whatever.

Dorans Ring had a cooldown time of 10 minutes. Grid hadnt used Dorans Ring yet. He had one more card than the clone.

Its still absurd.

The clone might show new fusion skills in the future. Grid clicked his tongue and fired the remaining Linked Kill. But the clone responded in an unexpected manner. He didnt avoid and responded with Revolve?

Jjejejeok!

Now!

Grid smiled with satisfaction and counterattacked.

Revolve.

Jjeejeeeong!

Revolve was countered with Revolve. This was the ideal result! Grid cheered as the energy of Linked Kill became incomparable to before. It was immensely powerful. Grid was confident this would defeat the clone in one shot.

At that moment.

Pagmas Swordsmanship, Revolve.

A new Grid appeared behind the clone and used Revolve? It was Doppelganger Randy.

It also cloned the pet!

A notification window popped up in front of Grid.

[You have suffered fatal damage!]

[A legend doesnt die easily. You can resist all attacks for 5 seconds with a minimum of health.]

Grid realized.

I lost.

He couldnt win like this. A dark smile appeared on Grids face. Was it an insane smile? No, he was smiling with joy.

I have to do it again.

Until the advent of the National Competition, he would absorb everything and grow.
