Overgeared

Edan’s rebellion was a failure. He failed to become the emperor, failed to save his mother, and paid the price for treason with his own life. He dared to aim the sword at the emperor, his father, and was supposed to have been erased from imperial history. The empire considered it a shame to record the prince’s rebellion. However, the empire couldn’t erase Edan’s name.

Rather, Edan would be mentioned heavily in the future history of the empire. His rebellion had brought about too many changes. He killed the empire, changing the empire and the world.

Yes, he killed the emperor. The former emperor Juander was killed by Edan, who carried the sword of the founding emperor Saharan on his back. Of course, Grid had been evacuated by Juander and didn’t directly witness Juander’s end. Nevertheless, the system had clearly stated Juander’s death. The only one left in the blood-stained palace was Edan. Yet Juander was alive?

‘...I thought this might be possible.’

It happened when he wanted to defeat Agnus who had been possessed by Baal. Grid had witnessed the appearance of the grandmaster and thought that Juander might still be alive. At the time, it was just unfounded speculation.Now in retrospect, there was Armored Cavalryman Chensler by Juander’s side. Armored Cavalryman Chensler had the formula of being ‘unable to die.’ Grid couldn’t rule out the possibility that the armored cavalryman had protected Juander.

‘That’s right. it isn’t strange if he is alive.’

However, it was a shame. Juander’s combat strength when using the red energy was among the highest in the West Continent. The individual Juander, not the emperor, was rated as one of the most powerful people on the continent. It was Juander who had such great force.

Wouldn’t it be nice for him to have made a dramatic appearance? The chance for a great appearance was also available recently.

it was when the five great demons attacked. It would’ve been great if he appeared when Grid was being defeated by the 13th great demon and recited the line, ‘I will fight to save the world.’ However, the news of his survival turned out to be like this. Honestly, it was ridiculous.

Grid couldn’t hide his disappointment and asked, “Juander is alive? How did you find out?”

“I found out during my class quest to track the Lantier of the present day.”

Lantier’s technique left scars in the shadows. The faint traces that could be recognized by those who were well-versed in the technique remained at the entrance of the Abyss.

Grid wondered, “There is a Lantier of this present day?”

“Yes.”

“You found Eclipse’s base?”

“That’s right.”

“......!”

Eclipse was once the strongest group of assassins. They had long been lost in history. Most people thought that Eclipse no longer existed and Grid completely disregarded Eclipse. Of course, he knew that Eclipse was being maintained. However, he treated Eclipse as a deteriorating group due to the fact that Kasim and Doran, the students of the former Lantier, were unable to properly inherit Lantier’s techniques. Yet the new Lantier managed to maintain the skills necessary to secure Juander from the imperial palace?

Faker explained to the flustered Grid, “Bain’s identity is Lantier.”

“......!” These words made Grid understand the situation instantly. Grid touched his forehead as he recalled Bain, who was always by Juander’s side. “I’ve seen Bain fight a few times and he didn’t use Lantier’s techniques at all. Was he hiding his identity?”

“Yes, even Juander must not have known his identity.”

Bain had intentionally approached Juander and would’ve built up trust over the years. This way, he could stay by the emperor’s side as his shadow.

“Why? What was he trying to get from the imperial palace?”

“Juander himself.”
