Overgeared

Some people had been born as ordinary humans and became legends. Most of the heroes had started their journeys just like regular individuals. Some examples included Hayate, Biban, and the Tower members.

However, there were also heroes who were the complete opposite of them. They were humans who had been born strong. Madra, who had been born with a body that surpassed human limits, Mercedes, who had been born with Keen Insight, Kyle with his lightning power, and Saharan’s founding emperor with his red energy...

According to the records of the imperial family, the founding emperor had named the empire after himself. It was said that he used to have all things under control by making use of his red energy. Of course, people exaggerated a bit. Still, it was undeniable that red energy could control certain things and beings.

The descendants of the founding emperor had used the red energy in a variety of ways depending on their individual capabilities. In some cases, they could command very small creatures such as insects to move and act a certain way. In other cases, they could hinder the movements of monsters larger than elephants for a while.

Another descendant could only move a small pebble while another moved dozens of boulders as large as houses to build an impromptu fortress. Some descendants manipulated the soldiers’ minds to raise the morale of an army during war. Others brainwashed the nobility in order to usurp imperial authority.

Objects, living things, people’s minds... Red energy had the potential to control anything.

The founding emperor was the one who had made the most of it while the former emperor, Juander, was one of the best at handling it.

However, he’d never used it to this extent. Juander was controlling thousands of people. They weren’t ordinary humans, but cultivators. Commanding so many of them at once to turn them into meat shields?

The expressions on the cultivators’ faces weren’t even worth seeing as they blocked the second bombardment of the Full Moon Fortress. They turned to ashes or suffered several serious and small wounds. They were all terrified.

The arrogant murderers who had a hobby of slaughtering mortals were now looking at Juander like he was the monster.

Juander smiled bitterly. “Can you see it?”

So what if the cultivators slaughtered hundreds or thousands of people? Jundar had slaughtered millions. He just needed to use a few words or scrawl his signature on a piece of paper and he would figuratively trample tens of thousands of humans to death like they were ants. In the name of the empire, he hadn’t tolerated anything that didn’t belong to it. He had destroyed numerous minorities and kingdoms in this process. Many imperial soldiers had also sacrificed their lives for the sake of the empire.

Juander was a murderer of a different kind. Cultivators didn’t respect humans because they considered them a subspecies. Meanwhile, Juander simply saw people as numbers. Therefore, he was even more brutal and vicious.

Just then, the red thread that connected Juander to thousands of cultivators lost its color and snapped. It became ineffective after achieving something seemingly impossible. Nevertheless, the cultivators were still frightened.

They faltered, unable to run away or fight back. They could clearly tell that Juander had killed countless people, but they only had a vague idea about the number. They could tell because they had also killed many people.

All of the cultivators got goosebumps...
