Overgeared

Susan was full of talent and enthusiasm. She just had bad luck. If only she was born in the main family. If she had competed on the same footing as Mercedes, then she would’ve been ahead of Mercedes.

“Heiro!”

Susan had been bothered for years. Mercedes and the traitor Piaro who were sent away by the former emperor. It was ridiculous that the two of them, who had as many shortcomings as their skills, were pretending to be great powers in a small kingdom.

The flames from the woman’s sword, who claimed to be the queen of the Overgeared Kingdom, swept through the long corridor of the palace. The king and the guard captain were startled and curled up while Susan and the Neo Red Knights stood firmly and faced the flames.

The carpet that was burned black filled the air with a pungent smell. The luminous ores that lit up the corridor were broken and lost their light.

“Cough, cough!”

Ironically, the intruders became a barrier. Thanks to the Neo Red Knights standing in the middle of the corridor, the king and the guard captain escaped from the flames. They opened their eyes and let out sighs of relief. The back of the intruders, alive and well, came into view.

Susan was safe without any wounds despite being engulfed in flames from the front. All of them had ice-like transparent blue runes around their bodies.

“Hey, this mentally disabled queen. Attacks that contain attributes are useless against us. If you plan to believe in that unusual sword, then I recommend that you quit immediately.”

In fact, Susan had felt a crisis. She would’ve turned to charcoal if the runes had activated only 0.2 seconds later. Even so, she pretended to be unconcerned. She was proud in her ability to quickly activate the runes so there was no shame.

The Fire Dragon Sword trembled.

-Master, is that human blind.She looked at me and called me an unusual sword?

‘She isn’t blind, she is just a madman. By the way, that is a higher level elemental shield... it is surprising.

Grid remembered Susan. She was a traitor, yet she denounced Piaro for being a traitor. She was crazy, but her stats were great. The proof was that she survived despite being hit in the forehead by Piaro.

“Hrmm.”

Grid’s blue eyes looked around at the people present. The Neo Red Knights—an organization obtained by the grandmaster after Juander’s end.

‘The fact that those who only follow the grandmaster are here...’

It meant the grandmaster was also likely to be nearby.

‘As expected, his purpose is to meet the Five Seniors?’

The grandmaster had been looking for the expelled gods, also known as the Five Seniors. He wanted to join forces with them to punish the gods of the west and cleanse the stigma of the seven malignant saints. At the time, Grid didn’t know the reality of the Five Seniors, thus he wasn’t aware of the seriousness of the situation.

‘I have to stop it.’

But now he knew—the meeting between the grandmaster and the Five Seniors must absolutely never happen. He didn’t know what the greedy yangbans would do the moment the Five Seniors came to the West Continent. In the first place, the war between gods shouldn’t occur. The moment the plague that fell from the sky struck the land, the Overgeared Kingdom and the West Continent couldn’t be safe.

‘The grandmaster is misunderstanding.’

The Five Seniors were by no means good. They were far from the ideal gods that the grandmaster wanted. The gods of the west, who were only selfish or followed their instincts, might be better. Grid looked at the Xing King. He felt sorry when he saw the haggard appearance. The reason why he was on the defensive...

Perhaps it was because he rejected the grandmaster’s request to arrange a meeting with the Five Seniors.
