Overgeared

Chill.

‘What?’

There were 30 pillars on each side in intervals of four meters. Grid was overwhelmed because the size of the great hall, which was just the tip of the palace, was bigger than he imagined. He felt helpless since the kingdom he and his colleagues worked so hard to build was just a speck of dust in front of the empire.

But the source of the alienation and fear that Grid currently felt wasn’t the great hall. Grid gulped and cautiously moved. At the far end of the hall, a person on the throne was watching Grid.

Step, step, step...

As he stepped forward, Grid’s fighting energy responded to this ‘era’s powerhouse’ and the color deepened. Some people observed the purple red glow with interest, some people looked upset, and some people didn’t notice.

In the silence.

"Overgeared King Grid greets Your Majesty the Emperor.”

Grid reached the stairs of the stage where the throne stood and bowed his head. He knelt on one knee and bowed politely. Emperor Juander. The greatest power of this age. Numerous people and a huge army that covered the land followed him. Grid didn’t disagree that he was the master of the continent. Juander might be a present and future enemy, but Grid couldn’t skip the courtesies. The bitter blades were hidden behind his back.

“You truly are the Hero King.” He seemed to have natural white hair. The emperor’s white hair was shining, unlike the usual hair that elderly people had. "King of the Overgeared Kingdom, I sincerely welcome you to the empire. I will greet you. I am the emperor.”

Was a long introduction needed? The word emperor meant he was already the master of heaven and earth. Juander wasn’t arrogant, but being the emperor was a huge position.

Chill.

‘What is this?’

Grid knew immediately after entering the hall. Grid realized why there was a chill down his spine and realized why he felt fear. Was it due to the lines of strong people on the left and right? No. The direct source of this huge fear was the emperor.

‘...The last boss?’

It was impossible to observe the emperor using the Legendary Blacksmith’s Eyes or Character Observation. The difference in levels was too great. But Grid’s high insight told him that the emperor was strong. Grid couldn’t overlook him!

'Isn’t this beyond expectations?’

As mentioned several times before, an NPC’s strength was often proportional to their status. In particular, those representing a nation or clan were really great. The water clan and the evil eyes were good examples. How strong was the emperor, the master of the continent?

Grid expected that the emperor wouldn’t be easy. But he didn’t know it would be this much.

‘Legendary level...’

The system might make the ‘emperor’ equivalent to a ‘legend.’ It was natural when thinking about it. Wouldn’t the founder of the empire be a myth? The royal pedigree was special.

"Yes, did you like the welcome?”

“It’s more than I deserve. I’m glad that you were willing to accept my sudden request for a visit.”

“It might be temporary, but we are allies. It’s only natural for me and my people to respect you. Just as you were just polite to me.”

The words were full of hidden meaning. The emperor was smiling with a good face, but no favor could be found in the grey eyes that seemed like a beast.
