Overgeared

Many things happened in the next two months.

At the end of the truce agreement with the Saharan Empire, the Overgeared Kingdom quickly established an alliance with Valhalla. Without a truce agreement with the empire, Valhalla had gone on to invade their neighboring countries and expand their forces.

The empire felt its back burn. Valhalla and the Overgeared Kingdom… It was presumed they had a hostile relationship after the White Dragon’s Eye incident. So how did they suddenly form an alliance? The empire had predicted that the Overgeared Kingdom would keep Valhalla in check while Valhalla would pressure the Overgeared Kingdom with them. Yet their predictions were completely overturned.

Consequently, the empire was forced to ignore Valhalla and concentrate on the Overgeared Kingdom. They relentlessly put pressure on the Overgeared Kingdom. Then the Overgeared Kingdom started tightening up their borders. The dozens of Overgeared members who received gold medal compensation in the 4th National Competition got new items thanks to Grid. They also exported a massive amount of equipment to Valhalla, strengthening their alliance and accumulating funds.

Meanwhile, Demon Slayer Yura returned from hell and contracted with a king elemental. She was the first one to gain this achievement and became the protagonist of a world message, becoming a topic comparable to Grid during the demon king’s subjugation.

“I’m envious...”

The Overgeared members, who mostly contracted with lesser elementals, admired the dignity of the king elemental. They congratulated Yura sincerely, but they couldn’t erase their envy. Yura also gained a big motivation.

‘With this, I am a bit closer...’

She was also a little bit closer to the title of ‘legend.’ Yura was glad that she would be useful in the war against the empire which would occur in the future. Additionally...

“I will erase the goddess of light, who is painted in falsehoods, from the world!”

“Shut up! You evil people!”

The war between the Rebecca Church and the Yatan Church deepened. In order to increase their influence, the Yatan Church dispersed forces across the continent while the Rebecca Church earnestly resisted them. Yatan’s Servants and Rebecca’s Daughters gathered in one place and damaged several kingdoms.

Interestingly, the Overgeared Kingdom didn’t suffer any damage. It could be considered as due to luck from the heavens since the Vatican was based in the Overgeared Kingdom, but of course, it wasn’t luck. The Overgeared Kingdom wasn’t affected by the war between the Rebecca Church and the Yatan Church purely because of Damian’s efforts.

Damian even went a step further and asked the empire for support, “I believe that the empire can’t ignore the Yatan Church and the fight for the peace of the continent.”

“...”

The emperor had no justification to refuse sending support to the Rebecca Church and was tearfully forced to send his forces. Simultaneously, Kraugel was spotted in the empire. The place he was seen at after the 4th National Competition was the gravestone of Empress Aria.

It was an event that caused rampant speculation. People guessed that Kraugel had joined the empire. However, the truth was different.

“A great evil lives there.”

Kirinus, the best spearsman on the continent, started to open his heart to Kraugel as he pointed to the imperial palace and revealed the tangled truth around Empress Aria’s death. The imperial palace boasted a tremendous scale dozens of times larger than the Overgeared Kingdom. Among them, his finger pointed to the gorgeous palace where Empress Marie resided.

“This evil must be eliminated. If we don’t get rid of her, there will be no future for this continent.”

“...”

Kraugel couldn’t help feeling in awe. Grid had mentioned a long time ago that one of his goals was to kill the empress.

‘Grid, did you know the whole truth at the time?’

It seemed he had been fighting with a big burden on his shoulders for a long time.
