Overgeared Chapter 564:

Impertinent . Scandalous . Unpleasant . Shocking .  

‘I want to tear him apart!’

Duke Lucilliv was furious as he faced Grid .  Who was he? He was the younger brother of the late King Wiesbaden and the uncle of the present King Aslan . He had the most noble lineage in the Eternal Kingdom . No, even if his lineage wasn’t mentioned, he was still the most powerful man in the kingdom . He was even treated well by the prestigious nobles of the Saharan Empire .

‘A guy without any lineage dares to insult me?’

It was an attitude that couldn’t be accepted .

“Grid . . . ! This behavior is too vulgar! You don’t even know filial piety and basic etiquette!”

Duke Lucilliv shouted with a red face and Grid shook .

"Even if I have manners, why should I be polite to trash? And what is filial piety? Don’t use words that are so difficult . ”

“T-This . . . !

Again! Again! Again!!

Using the word trash for a noble like him? He couldn’t help doubting Grid’s brain .

‘Don’t you understand how noble the royal lineage is?’

Duke Lucilliv forgot the seriousness of the situation and became concerned .  Grid pointed a dark blue sword at him . No, it was like a wooden sword rather than a longsword because there was no distinction between the handle and the blade .   Duke Lucilliv’s tension was released .

‘That’s right . He won’t dare hurt me . If he doesn’t submit to me, the hostages will eventually die . ’

“Duke Lucilliv!”

"Protect the duke!”

"Waaahhhhhhhh!"

The moment that Duke Lucilliv and Grid face each other .  The Eternal troops deployed all over Bairan flocked to Grid, surrounding him by over 90,000 troops . It was an obvious crisis for Grid . Duke Lucilliv saw Grid as a beast trapped behind barbed wire .

“Experience the position of the weak who can’t resist? You are the one who will experience it . ”

Duke Lucilliv pulled out a handkerchief to shield his mouth and nose from the dust caused by the movements of the soldiers . He truly acted like a noble . On the other hand, dust was nothing for Grid who always lived a fierce life . He was willing to eat all of it .

"You'll see soon . "

Kwajijijik!

Duke Lucilliv misunderstood that this was a wooden sword .  Grid moved with the +7 Sword Ghost . The Eternal soldiers, including Duke Lucilliv, doubted their eyes .

“D-Demon . . . ?”

A little while ago, the sun was rising when Grid reached here .  It wasn’t possible to grasp Grid’s appearance because of the shade .  But now .  As the sun rose in the sky and the shade covering Grid disappeared, Grid’s appearance became clear .

Darkness swelled .  His white skin contrasted with that .  White skin and red eyes . He was similar to the demons described in books . It was difficult to see him as an ordinary human .

“D-Duke Grid is a demon, not a human?”

“His strength makes sense now . . . "

The soldiers muttered . Asmophel’s expression wasn’t good as he belatedly arrived at Grid’s side .

‘The hearts of the soldiers who feel envious towards Grid are starting to shake!’

Grid had to remove the misunderstanding that he was a demon .  But how? The moment Asmophel thought this .  Grid judged that the soldiers had misunderstood and put on the Holy Light Crown .  The crown used by Pope Franz who sealed Marie Rose, the strongest vampire . There was no need to talk about the divinity coming from it . The demonic energy Grid was giving off paled next to it .

“Ahh . . . ”

The eyes of the soldiers towards Grid changed once more . After envy and fear, there was now awe . Grid started a spectacular sword dance .

“Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Linked Kill Wave . ”

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

Black energy blades flew like a gale towards Duke Lucilliv . It was also twice in a row!

"There is one more Linked Kill Wave . ”

-?

Was this a video replay? The viewers fell into confusion .

Was there a need to have a large piece of land on the West Continent? There was a total of 17 kingdoms and a wide variety of ethnic groups on the continent . But in the end, the influence of the Saharan Empire couldn’t overtake it . It was right to call the West Continent itself the Saharan Empire . Some scholars had pessimistic interpretations .

The power of the Saharan Empire was overwhelming . All kingdoms on the continent gave tribute to the empire, learned the culture of the empire, and some small nations even followed the empire’s orders .

" . . . But I will change the landscape of the continent . The Eternal Kingdom will become the focal point of all nations in the shadow of the empire . ”

Eternal’s 14th king, King Aslan .

He was a prince who had studied in the empire . Of course, it wasn’t from his desire, but because it was compulsory . Throughout the time of his studying, he experienced great contempt from the nobles and royalty of the empire . He didn’t want his descendants to experience such humiliation . He decided to change the world .

He had grand aspirations . He had no intention of making the sacrifice of his brother Ren in vain . After killing his brother and becoming king, he was determined to leave behind great achievements . Aslan was confident at first . He was sure that he was better than his brother after winning the throne .

‘My first goal is to build Eternal into a fully neutral nation . ’

It was a challenge to become self-sufficient enough to stand up to the empire, who were able to exert pressure in the fields of economy, military, and science .  This was why King Aslan was obsessed with Grid .  He tried to keep their relationship as good as possible, despite the fact that Grid was a dangerous person who declared he wouldn’t be loyal to the royal family .

But eventually it failed .  Grid caused a rebellion . The worst thing was that the most reliable person in Eternal, Earl Ashur, was acquired by Grid .  King Aslan became desperate . He lost strength before he could build up his strength and he saw that Eternal was walking down the path of defeat .

‘I hate the circumstances where I had to pin my brother’s death on Grid . ’

Over the past few months, Eternal had been declining .  In order to recapture the territories taken by Grid, most of the kingdom’s funds were used for war supplies and developing the soldiers . In addition, the young people who were the future of the kingdom were conscripted into the war . What meaning was there in condemning Grid and successfully reclaiming the territory? In the end, the kingdom would be ruined!

“Kukuk . . . I’m also incompetent . ”

King Aslan’s heart became sick .

The reason he’d killed his brother was because he had a big dream in mind . Now that this happened, the justification for losing his brother disappeared and King Aslan’s heart became sick . He was drinking another cup of wine when somebody knocked on his door .

There weren’t many people allowed to knock on the door of the king’s bedroom .

"Come in . "

King Aslan spoke in a hoarse voice .  The man who entered his room after receiving permission was Chucksley .  He was the best swordsman in Eternal and was loyal to the royal family . In addition, he was one of the few people who knew that King Aslan was Prince Ren’s killer .

"A guest from the empire has come . ”

Chucksley spoke gently, while Aslan replied cynically .

"Is the payment for making me king still lacking? Ah~ that’s right . Are they here to get compensation for the solo number knight who died from a soldier?”

Aslan had borrowed the empire’s power to become king .  He wasn’t being used by the empire, he was using them . But now the situation was reversed . He couldn’t escape his destiny of being the empire’s puppet .

“Kukuk . . . The late king must feel sorry . How terrible is it to see his son kill his own brother and hurt his kingdom . ”

"Your Majesty, please pay attention to your behavior . ”

Chucksley resented Aslan for killing Prince Ren . However, he had to serve Aslan . After all, Aslan became king and Chucksley had to give his loyalty to the royal family . Chucksley was concerned when he heard Aslan’s words . King Aslan’s chest hurt looking at him .

‘I’m saddened that he has met an incompetent master and lost his talent . ’

Chucksley had become a great swordsman with his own abilities . This wasn’t common even in the empire . It was said that there was no one better than Chucksley except for Piaro, Asmophel, and the top three solo number knights of the present Red Knights .

If King Aslan had created a good environment for Chucksley, he would’ve become one of the best talents of the West Continent .

“It has been a long time . This is late, but congratulations on becoming king . ”

“ . . . !”

King Aslan was very surprised when he entered the reception hall .  Was it because the guest from the empire just nodded instead of kneeling before the king? No, that wasn’t it .   The guest who came from the empire wasn’t someone who needed to be polite to the king of Eternal!

"Prince Benoit . . . ?”

The empire’s 3rd prince! Unlike the other members of the royal family, he had a weak presence in the empire . He rarely showed up for official appearances and he wasn’t someone with a loud nature .  In any case, he was still a prince of the empire . It was tremendous, since he was 3rd in line to the throne .  Why did he come to this small kingdom directly?

King Aslan was surprised by the unexpected visitor and asked .  “Yes . I haven’t seen you since I studied in the empire . Prince Benoit, why did you come to this place?”

He spoke in a polite tone . Prince Benoit smiled at King Aslan’s caution . It was a warm smile like sunshine .

"Are we fellow alumni since we studied in the same place? I heard you were in a crisis and came to help . ”

“Cri-sis?”

Yes, he was in a crisis .  But a crisis that made the prince of the empire come running over . . .  

King Aslan was able to question it when Chucksley came in an shouted .

“Your Majesty! It’s an emergency! I received intelligence that the rebel army is marching here!”

“What?”

King Aslan stiffened like a stone statue .  Grid still had an army to fight back? Even if the size of the army was small, there were few troops stationed here . Most of the troops were committed to the war . King Aslan turned his gaze to Prince Benoit who was still smiling brilliantly .

“Is this the crisis you were talking about?”

Benoit didn’t deny it . He nodded and handed King Aslan a comb .  Yes, a comb . It was a tool for combing hair .

“What is this . . . ?”

Prince Benoit whispered to the confused King Aslan .

“It is a tool to summon a great demon . You should try it . ”

In that gap, Benoit would find Piaro and the Amethyst Shield .
