Overgeared

It had been a journey which spanned over 10 years.

“...” Imperial Prince Benoit had finally achieved his purpose, and he felt a strange sense of power. The truth that he had known from the beginning... Maybe he had wanted it to be a lie. He felt all types of emotions when he saw the evidence that Great Demon Berith gave him.

“Imperial Prince! Imperial Prince!” There was a call for him during the long journey back to the empire. Benoit turned his head in the direction of the call, but he ignored it and kept walking. With a thin body, upright posture, an old attire, and a long beard, he looked like a pilgrim. The people passing by greeted him, unaware that he was the traitor to humanity. However, he couldn’t fool everyone’s eyes.

“Your Highness!” The running man caught up and overtook Benoit, blocking his way. He was the owner of a demon mark that attached to the target on the premise that the wearer never died. It was Chensler.

“Sir Chensler.”

How did he recognize Benoit’s current disguise? However, it was expected for the Five Pillars to recognize him. He couldn’t hide his red energy in his present state and couldn’t escape the senses of the Five Pillars.

“I came to this place by following the trail of the priest that carried out the great demon summoning ceremony.”

“Huhuhu, the priest. Is that what the Rebecca followers are calling me?”

“Yes, but they don’t know Your Highness’ identity.”

“It is reasonable. Ah, don’t misunderstand. I’m not hiding my identity for the empire. The Yatan Church already knows my identity. The world will know it at any time now... the fact that it is an imperial prince who summoned a great demon.”

“Why did you...”

“Why? Are you afraid that the Rebecca Church and the whole world will blame the empire?”

“I’m not interested in political matters. It is just that His Majesty the Emperor will be troubled.”

“Sir, you are very unusual.”

“...?”

“Unlike the other pillars, you are truly loyal to His Majesty.”

“The other pillars are the same. In particular, Sir Bain is more than me...”

“Who knows? Well, by the way, His Majesty knew what I was doing.”

“There is nothing His Majesty doesn’t know.”

“What?” Prince Benoit looked like he was hit by a hammer. The blind man who believed his beloved wife died of illness knew everything?

“Kuk...! Kukukuk! Kuhahahaha!”

Benoit was prepared. He had committed all types of crimes while risking blame and criticism. The killing intent of the inwardly afraid Benoit amplified again. It became louder and fiercer, with a momentum that wouldn’t die down again.

“Sir, do you really believe that? His Majesty knows everything? When it took me more than 10 years to find this truth?”

“Your search was carried out in secret, so it took a long time.”

“He will be embarrassed if it is known that his son is a lunatic who wants to summon the great demons. I was forced to keep it secret.”

“Please refrain from speaking like that.”

“Well, that’s fine. Let’s return to the empire. I was on my way back.”

“Kuoong...” Hurent struggled with the war god follower. He consumed all his ultimate techniques and used all of his power. There was nothing to say.

‘I heard the level of this place is high, but it is really difficult. I can’t believe this monster is so strong. No, I’m too weak.’

There were too many great opponents who developed their skills by trying to die. The subconscious aspirations and desire to be at the top again troubled Hurent. Satisfy's worldview wasn’t at a level he could handle. Seriously, he wanted to quit the game.

Hurent smiled and dealt the final blow.

The experience gained from killing the follower was almost as much as hunting a boss monster. It was
