Overgeared

Yatan's Eighth Servant, Yura—she was a traitor.

Yatan's Seventh Servant, Dark Bus—he died during the mission to infiltrate the Saharan Empire.

Yatan's Sixth Servant, Malacus—he died while preparing a ritual in Winston.

Yatan's Fourth Servant, Neberius—he died during the invasion of Bairan.

Yatan's First Servant, Tallos—he died due to an unidentified magician who invaded the Yatan headquarters.

This was the record of the former Yatan's Servants. It was a shame that the Yatan Church wanted to erase. Those chosen by Great Demon Amoract to serve the evil god, Yatan, had been murdered by unknown people. It was a disgrace.

Likaos was appointed as Amoract’s agent after Tallos died. On the surface, he was Yatan's First Servant, and he gave this command to the other servants, “The beasts who serve Rebecca and the people devoted to catering to them will gather at the Vatican. This is an opportunity to sweep up these bastards. Destroy the Vatican and reestablish the fallen status of the Yatan Church!”

Likaos calculated that the present Rebecca’s Daughters were near the end of their lives. The curse of the Rebecca Church’s three divine artifacts meant they were no more than dead bodies, while the newly recruited Yatan's Servants were young and strong.

With these in mind, Likaos saw a golden opportunity to cause chaos. Apart from the Rebecca Church, this was a great chance to deal a blow to the empire and other kingdoms. So, Likaos sent out five Yatan's Servants and requested cooperation from Baal’s Contractor.

“Kik? Crazy monsters have gathered.”

The top of Kay Mountain was soaked with heavy rains. Rose who was the 1st ranked black magician and Yatan's Eighth Servant, Baal’s Contractor Agnus, and the other four Yatan's Servants looked down at the Vatican.

The so-called Overgeared King? He had the power to ruin the Vatican twice over, but the Yatan Church couldn’t be afraid of one person. The Red Knights escorting the imperial prince? They were people who had lost the emperor’s trust and were on the brink of ruin. Rebecca’s Daughters? They were worn down by the divine artifacts and were on the brink of death.

“How trivial.”

This was the previous impression Likaos had of Yatan's Servants, and Agnus agreed with it. However, the power here was overwhelmingly strong. Agnus judged this due to the wave of shadows moving behind him. They were the shadows of thousands of black magicians who had been discretely moved here.

“Haha, I see.”

“As expected from Prince Dulandal.”

“I can’t stop admiring you!”

The scenery of the dinner banquet was no different from people’s expectations. Most of the royal families of other nations were gathered around the empire’s 2nd prince, Dulandal. He was said to be far from the succession since he was behind the 1st Prince supported by the emperor and the 4th Prince supported by the empress, but his name was still famous. Dulandal had the power to collapse a small kingdom in one morning, so it was natural for the small royal families dependent on the empire to curry favor with him.

“Hrmm...” Dulandal’s gaze shifted from these royal families toward a corner of the room. A woman with silver hair was shining under the lights. Her beauty, which was rare even in the empire, attracted Dulandal’s attention. Dulandal especially liked the woman’s gentle impression. “Who is that?”

Once Dulandal expressed interest, the royal families explained, “The Overgeared Queen.”
