Overgeared Chapter 1395:
The distinguished guests who attended Lord’s coming of age ceremony were big names . They exercised their power without fear in their own kingdom or other kingdoms . Even so, they were human .
Marie Rose—the appearance of the top predator made all the distinguished guests in this area tremble . The big figures who didn’t know anxiety and fear due to their great pride dared not make eye contact with her and looked away . They tried to look as insignificant as possible to show they had no intention of defying her . It wasn’t a matter of humiliation and shame .
Could their ancestors have avoided dangerous situations if they didn’t feel fear? No . Humanity wouldn’t have survived until today . The humble attitude of the distinguished guests in front of Marie Rose was the natural instincts of humans . It was an extremely primitive instinct to feel fear and avoid risk factors .
‘Marie Rose . Is it really Marie Rose?’
The dukes of the empire reflexively struggled as they were crushed by the terrible evil influence . They tried not to be noticed as much as possible and figure out the situation . They thought back . There were rumors that Marie Rose’s seal was released 17 or 18 years ago . The former emperor Juander asked Bain to find out the authenticity . Bain returned and confirmed that the rumors were true .
This type of thick evil influence was likely to belong to Marie Rose . Only then could they be convinced .
I, us—
Immortal King Grenhal, Spear Saint Rachel, and Beast King Morse—they were filled with fear despite the fame and power they built up so far . It was only by admitting the other person was Marie Rose that they could accept it .
‘This . . . it is destruction . ’
Why did Marie Rose show up here and now? They couldn’t afford to examine the reason . The dukes just felt dizzy . A monster that the second pope, Chreshler, could only barely seal when he sacrificed the lives of himself and the Rebecca’s Daughters, despite being the strongest pope of all time . Saharan’s ancient literature evaluated her as stronger than Beriache and one of the few beings that Baal was wary of . That monster, Marie Rose, appeared here . They were dead . They would die . They couldn’t survive .
These thoughts revolved around the heads of the dukes .
Meanwhile, Empress Basara thought rationally . As the matriarch of many people, her sense of responsibility was transcendent . She was sober in this desperate situation .
‘It is a raid aimed at the gathering place of many major figures from various kingdoms . . . she has ambitions to rule humanity . ’
The world would be almost paralyzed the moment the guests here were wiped out . From then on, who would be able to handle Marie Rose? Humanity would lose its center and be one-sidedly slaughtered by Marie Rose .
‘The people who need to be saved now are . . . ’
Basara’s gaze turned to Grid . Her judgment was quick .
‘I have to protect Grid . ’
Everyone in this position had to make sacrifices . Grid had to be evacuated using any means and methods . By making him the center of humanity, only then would the annihilation of humanity be avoided . Only he deserved it .
Basara’s red energy rose . This was the power that was the proof of Saharan’s lineage . This was the power of ruling that intervened and controlled everything . It was more of a constitution than a skill or magic . It wasn’t sealed by the evil influence .
Basara had the capacity to intervene with Marie Rose’s evil influence . She was determined that if she could control the evil influence for a while, she could join forces with the dukes to open the way for Grid, even if she lost her life from the backlash . She had to try it even if the chances of success were less than 1% .
Basara’s red energy thickened .
“Hmm?” It happened when Marie Rose turned her gaze to Basara . . .
Step, step, step . . .
Someones footsteps echoed in the quiet hall . One person was walking alone confidently while everyone was holding their breaths . It wasn’t difficult to infer his identity .
‘Grid?’
‘King Grid . . . !’
Everyone’s eyes turned to the direction of the footsteps . The central hall . . .
As expected, Grid was walking through it . He stared straight at Marie Rose . There was no hesitation in his gait and he stood upright . There was no trembling . Marie Rose terrified all the powerful people on the continent, but she couldn’t scare Grid . The distinguished guests admired it .
“W-Welcome, Marie Rose . Why did such a noble person come to this humble place . . . ?”
Grid finally reached Marie Rose and lowered his head with a smile . It was a completely different attitude than expected . It was surprising but no one thought that Grid was servile .
‘As expected, it is Marie Rose . She might be a demonkin, but she is a legendary existence . It is natural to be polite to her when she built a reputation for transcending her founder hundreds of years ago . ’
‘The reason Grid bowed in the first place is due to us . . . ’
Grid didn’t seem affected by Marie Rose’s evil influence . There was no particular fear of Marie Rose . The reason why he bowed was for the safety of the people gathered here . It meant he was forced to please Marie Rose to prevent her from acting hastily .
‘He is truly the lantern of humanity . ’
The distinguished guests . In particular, the distinguished guests who had only been exposed to Grid through rumors started to feel respect for Grid . A series of notifications popped up stating that the leaders of kingdoms or tribes that never communicated with the Overgeared Kingdom started to like Grid .
‘What?’
Why did affinity suddenly increase? Marie Rose reached out to the flustered Grid . The white skin that reminded him of snow was reddened by the sunlight that leaked through the window . The sun wasn’t good for vampires . Marie Rose had a stronger power than Beriache, the 3rd Great Demon . She also didn’t receive any penalties in the human world because she was born here .
One of the strongest beings in the world, her few weaknesses included the sun . She was weak to sunlight because she inherited the power of Beriache and her vampire characteristics were more than anyone else . The reason why she visited Reinhardt in broad daylight like this was because . . .
“Did you become the Blood King while I was sleeping?” She wanted to congratulate Grid .
Grid politely kissed the back of her hand and smiled awkwardly . “Yes, it happened to be that way . ”
Marie Rose was the strongest vampire, but she wasn’t suitable for the position of Blood King . Her purpose was merely to exterminate the great demons . She had no ambition to become the king and lead the vampires . The evidence was that she had no feelings for her siblings .
Grid knew this fact and simply accepted Marie Rose’s congratulations . She didn’t feel that the position of Blood King had been taken from her . In any case, Marie Rose’s congratulations was sincere . Her brightly smiling face was so clear that it was like a beautiful flower emerging . “I am glad . ”
“ . . . . . . ?”
“The man who released my seal has grown into an excellent spouse . I have to believe in the word destiny . ”
“ . . . . . . ?”
“ . . . . . . ?”
Blood King? Spouse? Ordinary people couldn’t understand it . Even Grid didn’t understand it . ‘Spouse?’
He could feel eyes stabbing into his back . They weren’t Queen Irene’s eyes . She had long wanted Grid to take a concubine . She had urged Grid directly . She was becoming old faster than Grid and would leave first . For his sake, she hoped that another good person would stand by Grid’s side . Queen Irene was fortunately now regaining her youth, but her thoughts remained the same . She hadn’t given birth to a second child for 15 years already . The situation in the kingdom was too uneasy to have only one successor to the throne .
“ . . . . . . ”
Grid glanced back . Unlike Irene, who hadn’t changed her expression, Basara and Mercedes looked gloomy . There were shadows on their beautiful faces . This was why he felt stinging gazes . Why Basara . . . ?
“Hum hum . ” Grid cocked his head for a moment before coughing to relieve the atmosphere . Then he guided Marie Rose to the top position . “Today is the day my son has finally become an adult . Some guests have gathered to celebrate, so let’s talk about private matters next time . ”
“I noticed instantly that he is your child . He is talented and handsome, just like you . Perhaps our children too . . . ”
“Hum hum! Now, come this way . ”
“ . . . . . . ”
Marie’s expression changed dramatically the moment Grid coughed and interrupted her words . The bright smile turned meaningful and her eyes curved in a half moon . Grid’s heart thumped loudly . He wavered .
“Do you not want to be my spouse?”
“T-That, I’m a married man . . . ”
“Hmm, then you can just give me your seed . There is no need to feel too burdened . ”
“ . . . . . . ”
Silence filled the hall . In particular, Basara and Mercedes’ mouths were tightly shut . it was because they witnessed the regret and hardness that was in Marie Rose’s fascinating smile . Maybe she was serious about Grid . It happened the moment Basara and Mercedes had this thought . . .
“Why did you come to this place?”
A new figure appeared behind Jude and Prince Shining, both of whom were standing at the entrance of the great hall . A man with silver hair—the identity of the man so handsome that his appearance was comparable to Marie Rose was naturally Braham . The legendary great magician—the dukes of the empire who witnessed his power in the Drasion raid reflexively focused their attention
On the other hand, Marie Rose was relaxed . “You have grown up a lot, Braham . You actually dare to talk loudly to me . ”
“Don’t spoil this precious event and get lost . ”
“Previous event . . . ? It is precious?” Marie Rose doubted her ears . Braham—the most selfish and cruel Braham, who slaughtered thousands and experimented on his kin, was actually respecting the events of others? “ . . . Huhu, haven’t you changed a lot while I was asleep?”
There was a smile on Marie Rose’s face, but her eyes were cold . Braham flinched and stepped back . He recalled the past when Marie Rose pierced him in the heart and he lost his vampire power . Braham feared Marie Rose like everyone else, no, more than others . Her power had grown over the years beyond their mother and she was still in the process of regaining her strength .
‘Again . . . I am going to die . ’
Just as he hated Marie Rose, Marie Rose hated him . Braham knew this and foresaw his own death . In the beginning, Marie Rose was an existence who could accomplish most of her wishes . No one could stop her if she wanted to kill Braham .
‘ . . . I won’t go silently this time . ’
He would inflict a wound that couldn’t be erased forever . Braham made up his mind and instinctively raised a hand behind him .
“An unexpected guest came . ”
The legendary farmer Piaro and the recently returned Asmophel appeared next to each other . Grid’s messenger Sariel was also with him . Nefelina also didn’t seem to like this situation and her faint energy that exerted influence over the entire palace became stronger . Finally—
“Braham is my father’s friend . It is just like Marie Rose is my father’s friend . ”
Lord stepped in front of Marie Rose as she stared at Braham . The murderous smile he learned from Sua surprised Marie Rose slightly .
. . . You’ve made a lot of friends . ” Marie Rose glanced at the people surrounding Braham in turn before taking one final look at Braham . Then she turned back to Grid . “You dont have to look so scary . The reason I came today is to discuss our future, not to hurt your friend . Today . . . the timing is bad . ”
“ . . . . . . ”
This time, Grid also saw the short regret that briefly passed through Marie Rose’s eyes .
“Then, bye! I’ll come back next time . ” Marie Rose’s body turned to smoke and started to scatter . She returned to the dark underground area where there was nothing except the coffin where she had slept alone for a long time . To her—
“I will visit you next time,” Grid vowed .
A smile of joy adorned Marie Rose’s face as she gradually disappeared .
