Overgeared

“Did anything happen?”

Kraugel returned to Reinhardt as soon as he cleared the world quest because he was worried about Lord. The prince of the great empire should be the safest person in the world, but his safety had been in jeopardy the past few days.

Lord’s role was to protect Grid’s full-term wives. Grid had as many enemies as people who respected him. If his wives happened to be targeted, the safety of Lord, who was guarding them, couldn’t be guaranteed.

Lord ran out with the Daughters of Rebecca and greeted Kraugel politely.

“Fortunately, nothing happened thanks to you taking care of me. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher! News of your great deeds have reached here as well!”

Lord looked at Kraugel with gratitude and envy. Kraugel got second place in the contribution rankings. He was second only to Grid in this war. He had also increased his reputation after being acknowledged by the Sword Saint of the previous generation.

However, Kraugel felt ashamed.

“I just went on a rampage. There are many people who performed better than me.”

For some reason, NPCs hadn’t been included in this world quest. Some people such as the Tower members, Apostles, or Juander’s group hadn’t been counted in the contribution rankings. However, Kraugel wasn’t talking about strong individuals like the Tower members and Apostles when he said that others had performed better than him.

Lauel had paved the way for his allies to excel in battle thanks to his amazing tactics and strategies; Jishuka had increased the power of the army by 200% with her charisma and mercenary skills; Huroi had demoralized the cultivators by cursing them out until they coughed up blood; and Damian and Haster, who had lent their support to the Absolutes.

Knight had turned the death of a key figure into an opportunity to turn things around; Katz and Chris had made the enemy lines collapse several times; Zibal had moved the Tomb of the Gods freely like it was an extension of himself and wreaked havoc on his enemies; Euphemina had destroyed the enemies’ carefully prepared plan with her spells; Peak Sword and Ibellin had killed an Absolute, while Vantner and Toban always had their allies’ backs at critical junctures...

There were countless people who did a lot using their own wisdom and abilities. If it hadn’t been for them, the world quest wouldn’t have been cleared in time. If things had really looked dire, Grid would’ve taken care of everything by himself. But, in any case... Kraugel didn’t think others were inferior to him.

Lord saw the sincerity in Kraugel’s expression. “I understand,” he cheerfully said. He was happy that his father and other teachers always served as role models for him.

“Lord-chaaaaaan~~”

A brilliant beam of light fell and Damian popped out of it.

Did his eyes become faucets...? People had such doubts upon seeing Damian burst into tears and run up to Lord to hug him.

“I almost died more than a thousand times! That wicked old man Braham kept pushing me in dangerous situations!! Lord-chan! Please be sure to tell Grid! Please ask him to scold Braham!”

“T-Teacher, there are many eyes on us,” Lord whispered. He barely pushed Damian away.

Damian finally came to his senses and looked around. The Daughters of Rebecca and caretakers of the palace were around. Hundreds of people were watching them. Lord was genuinely worried about the reputation of the Overgeared God Church leader, but Damian didn’t care.

“It’s a good thing that they’re watching. Braham’s evil deeds must be denounced to the whole world...” Damian shouted vigorously before his mouth twitched like a crucian carp. He had been hit by a Silence spell.

This was Lord’s doing. Damian, who was the rank 1 paladin, broke the Silence spell with his purification magic. He looked shocked.
