Overgeared

“...”

The ministers had died. The place where they barely built their lives had collapsed.

All the people who suffered because of their incompetent king, the Overgeared soldiers who struggled to help them, and those who died...

The evil eyes' king clenched his hands into small fists as he sat on his throne. The only thing he could do was destroy. It was impossible for him to protect others. This power was useless because it was too powerful.

“Are you the king of the evil eyes?”

“...”

The intruder asked him a question. As he approached, the smell of blood thickened. The evil eyes' king wanted to open his eyes and inflict the pain of eternity. He wanted to kill this intruder and soothe the grudge of his people. However, he remained patient. His lips were tightly closed from anger, and blood flowed from where he had bitten his lower lip.

He hadn’t forgotten the Overgeared prime minister Lauel’s words about how the White Dragon’s Eyes were dangerous and that he should never open his eyes. The will of those who fought for them, who were forsaken by their homes... He couldn’t break these things.

If he did now, he wouldn’t be able to face the souls of the Overgeared soldiers who had sacrificed themselves for him. He had to live.

“Not even resisting,” the intruder said in a ridiculing manner. He approached, grabbed the king’s collar, and pulled him off the throne. An incompetent person who couldn’t protect or get revenge for his people didn’t deserve to sit here. At this moment...

“Let go of that hand!” Someone appeared and shouted. The evil eyes' king remembered the owner of this voice. He recalled the first time he encountered it in his life. It belonged to a man who had exchanged glances with the king and laughed without being exterminated.

‘...Grid.’

He had come to help. Why did Grid want to be entangled with a useless person like the king? Regret preceded gratitude. Grid had chosen the wrong person. This was the moment when the evil eyes' king was crushed by guilt.

“100,000 Army Massacre Sword!”

A mighty energy flew over the evil eyes' king. The evil eyes' king bled from the blow and woke up.

‘H-He is trying to kill me.’

Grid didn’t come to help...? The evil eyes' king was shocked by the terrible pain. Then grandmaster released the band around the demon king’s eyes. The red and blue eyes of the evil eyes' king appeared in the world. His gaze was facing the White Dragon’s Eyes. The evil eyes' king had a gut feeling that...

He would die. The red flames that burned everything would burn his body to ashes, and the chill that froze even the flames would break his soul.

‘I’m sorry. The sacrifices of your people have been wasted,’ the evil eyes' king apologized as he faced his death. It was an apology for the Overgeared soldiers who had died.

“Wear this!” Then Grid appeared using Mass Teleport and covered the king’s eyes with glasses. The magic power that rose from the eyes of the evil eyes' king felt like a lie.

“Ah...!” Behind the sunglasses, the eyes of the evil eyes' king were shaken. He saw a world that wasn’t destroyed. This was the first time the evil eyes' king had seen the ordinary landscapes of life since he was born.

“This... Why is this...?”

He was a person who wasn’t allowed to see. As such, the joy that this solitary being, who had been cut off from the world, felt after facing the world for the first time was incredibly huge. The evil eyes' king forgot the terrible reality and gazed at the marble pillars with trembling eyes.

He saw a boy wearing a crown. It was the king of the evil eyes himself.

The boy on the marble confirmed that he was himself. Then he raised his head and looked around. He examined every corner of the world like a dragon who had just
