Overgeared

“This...”

A sudden change in weather—the cleared up sky became dark like night again, and the faces of the magicians staring at the sky turned pale. The higher the level of the magician, the more they started sweating. They realized the cause of the darkness was powerful demonic energy. It was much more powerful than the demonic energy of Botis, who appeared in the middle of the capital. It meant a great demon ranked higher than Botis had appeared near the capital.

‘Where?’

The empire was clearly strong. The weakness was that they distributed their power in order to protect such a large territory. The army stationed at the capital was less than a tenth of the entire imperial army. Among those guarding the capital, the strongest one was Lightning God Kyle. Excluding him, the continent-level talents were two magicians belonging to the 10 great magicians and three single digit knights. Many of the Red Knights were scattered throughout the empire and dukes such as Rachel and Morse usually defended their territory.

If Grid hadn’t visited Titan today—

If Rachel and Morse hadn’t rushed over after hearing about Grid’s visit—

The capital Titan probably would’ve been crushed by Botis. In a severe situation, Basara might’ve had to abandon the capital and run away. The forced escape meant she would become the worst figure in the history of the empire. That’s right. The 17th Great Demon, Botis, was one who put Titan in a crisis. Now a higher ranked great demon had appeared. It was the worst.

The good news was that unlike Botis, it didn’t appear in the middle of the city. There was some time to prepare.

“Your Majesty, I’m sorry but there seems to be a new great demon. Have the people evacuate quickly and summon troops to protect the imperial palace.”

A person who confronted Goldhit, who called herself the Magician King—the one who spoke was Ricilia, one of the continent’s 10 great magicians and the master of the white tower. A loyalist who already served three emperors, he was also the sage who noticed the experiments taking place in the Tower of Eternity and insisted that it be closed. The other magicians were agitated.

“In this situation, you want Her Majesty to defend the imperial palace? Who will take responsibility if something happens to Her Majesty?”

“I’m saying we need Her Majesty’s strength to fight against the great demon. Her Majesty’s red energy and appearance will boost the morale of the soldiers and increase the skills of the knights. Her Majesty must stay if the imperial palace is to be protected.”

“Don’t speak nonsense!

“There are less than 200,000 troops stationed in the capital, including 500 knights and 300 magicians! How can we fight against a great demon?”

“Correct! We must have the soldiers set up barriers to buy time. During this period, Her Majesty will take refuge!”
