Overgeared - Chapter 1107

Chapter 1107: 1107

In the capital of the Overgeared Kingdom, Reinhardt . . .

Lauel’s eyes widened as Grid informed him about what happened in the forest .  

“Isn’t that Baal? No, there is no doubt that it is Baal?”

“It is impossible . ” Grid denied Lauel's speculation .  “Baal is almost like a final boss . The timing is too early for him to appear and there was no strength . ”

The basis for Grid’s thoughts wasn’t poor .  The great demons Belial and Berith boasted a fearsome strength .  Putting aside other players, even Grid had seen the ease at which they caused despair .  If the identity of the great demon he encountered in the forest was Baal, the absolute monarch of hell, Grid would experience a sense of fear that would be hard to endure .

However, Grid hadn’t been afraid .

“It makes no sense for a final boss to appear in the body of one user . It is too unbalanced if a specific player can borrow the power of a final boss . The S . A Group shouts about balance all the time and wouldn’t allow such a situation . ”

“Aren’t you allowed to borrow Braham’s power?”

“Braham isn’t a final boss . ”

“I think that for an average person, Braham or Baal are just as fraudulent . ”

“In any case, it is different . That must not be Baal,” Grid reiterated, “He was even less powerful than the grandmaster . ”

He wasn’t talking casually .  The demonic energy that was emitted from Agnus’ possessed body was lower than Great Demon Berith . No, it wasn’t much better than Belial .  If the grandmaster hadn’t been asleep then it would’ve likely been forced on the defensive by the grandmaster .  It was too weak to be 1st Great Demon Baal, even if Baal was subjected to a number of penalties by possessing a player’s body .

Of course, the fact that Grid’s fighting energy filled up so quickly, the great demon freely using shunpo, and the great demon destroying Grid’s demonic energy meant it was likely to be a higher ranked great demon . However, this didn’t mean it was Baal .

“Didn’t he say he was the master of hell’s throne?”

“Is there only one throne in hell? Hell has 33 territories and 33 great demons that each rule a territory . There are naturally 33 thrones . ”

“Agnus is Baal’s Contractor . ”

“It is difficult to assume that Agnus is involved with Baal just because he is Baal’s Contractor . I’m not contracted with Belial or Berith but I can use their power . It isn’t strange if Agnus can borrow the power of other great demons through some method, such as runes . ”

“Still, didn’t the great demon know Pagma very well? Shouldn’t Baal know Pagma the best among the great demons since Pagma was the previous Baal’s Contractor?”

Pagma—this was the core point .  The demon who descended into Agnus’ body had a high understanding of Pagma and compared Grd to Pagma .  That’s why Lauel saw that Baal was the identity of the great demon .

However, this was also denied by Grid .  “Pagma was someone who single-handedly prevented the hell army’s invasion of the Behen Archipelago . There would be more than one great demon who fought against Pagma . Most of the great demons who participated in the war, not just Baal, would know about Pagma . ”

“Hmm . . .  indeed . " Lauel conceded .  Grid was the Hero King who purified the Behen Archipelago and he went directly to Asgard to meet the gods .  His understanding of the great demons and gods transcended Lauel’s knowledge .  Lauel’s guess was less likely to be correct than Grid’s guess .  “Then who do you think descended into Agnus’ body?”

“Is it Amoract?”

“You mean Yatan’s First Servant that Braham talked about . ”

“Yes, he is the one most likely and willing to intervene . ”

“Nevertheless, he seemed to be hard-working if he is running the Yatan Church behind the scenes . . . ”

“ . . . ?”

“It is a bit unreasonable to say he is a very free person who has fun watching the pretensions of the gods and humans every day . . . ”

“Then it must be someone else . In the first place, what is the importance of his identity?”

After all, it was a great demon who could only be expressed through the medium of items or skills .  The power of the great demon attached to the rune wasn’t a match to the power of the living great demons and the assimilation with Braham had obvious limitations .  The same was true of the great demon who borrowed Agnus’ body .  He could just think of it as part of Agnus’ power . Did he need to waste time being stuck on this issue?

Grid didn’t want to discuss it any longer .  Just thinking about Agnus was disgusting .

“There is a separate problem to worry about right now . ”

Grid shared the quest information .  It was the quest from the world tree .

[Early Death] 

[Difficulty Level: SS

The world tree wants the death of the dark elf, Beniyaru .

Help the world tree by killing Beniyaru .

Quest Clear Conditions: Beniyaru’s death .

Quest Reward: Slight increase in affinity with the world tree . The linked quest ‘Search’ will occur .

Quest Failure Penalty: None .

*This is a quest that has already been cleared . ]

“ . . . ??”

Lauel was also perplexed .  The world tree had existed since the beginning and embraced all things like a mother .  The sentence that he or she wanted to kill an elf was strange .

Grid explained, “The world tree has determined that Beniyaru is the cause of the darkness outside . ”

The elves were pure but more stubborn than necessary .  Their self-determination meant it wasn’t easy for them to be corrupted .  If Grid hadn’t rescued the elves . . .

The world tree claimed that in the situation where Grid rescued the elves from Kir, Beniyaru had willingly assimilated with the darkness .

“Look at the next quest . ”

Early Death was a quest that ended the moment that Beniyaru died .  Grid brought up the information of the new linked quest .

[Search]

[Difficulty: S

The world tree determined that the Beniyaru active in the Gauss Kingdom’s forest is a fake .  The world tree suspects that the ancient species ‘rafflesia’ is responsible for this .  The rafflesia have been a major threat to the forest visitors and tribes since ancient times since they nourished the darkness in the heart .

Please search for the location of the rafflesia, who hold Beniyaru’s main body .

Quest Clear Conditions: Find the rafflesia .

Quest Reward: Slight increase in affinity with the world tree . The maximum affinity with Beniyaru .

Quest Failure Penalty: None . Beniyaru’s death . ]

“Ah . . .  the world tree is aware that Beniyaru is nothing more than a fake clone . It has unique insight from the beginning . ”

“In the first place, don’t the ancient species only inhabit the forest of the world tree? That’s why it is exceptionally knowledgeable about the ancient species . In any case, is there anyone with good searching skills among Overgeared Two or the Overgeared Shadows? You know that I don’t have search-related skills, so I want to be supported by explorers or assassins . ”

It was just a quest to find the rafflesia, not fight them .  In fact, it was easy for a quest with an S-grade difficulty .  Grid had no reason to refuse when it was an opportunity to rescue Beniyaru without taking a great risk .  Why did he want to rescue Beniyaru?

One of the strongest of the ‘12 Te’, Grid calculated that it was important to build a favorable relationship with her and enter into a contract with her .  He had also fought together with Beniyaru and shared her grief and anger .  Grid’s desire to help her blossomed like a spring flower .

Lauel clearly knew this and smiled, “It isn’t easy to search the forest of the world tree . Unfortunately, the Overgeared Guild is lacking a talent that specializes in searching . ”

“Shit . Is that right? It is no wonder why no one came to mind . ” 

“There is only one outsider who is just right for this job . ”

“Outsider?”

“Yes,” Lauel's finger pointed at Grid's chest, “A man who is fascinated by Your Majesty . ”

“ . . . ?”

“It is the first ranked explorer, Skunk . He will help Your Majesty . ”

***

‘He has acted terribly since obtaining Kyle . ’

Sighing had become a habit .  Resh, the knight who served 2nd Imperial Prince Dulandal, felt like he was walking on thin ice every day .  Dulandal had failed to give up on his ambition for the throne and conducted secret negotiations .

“I will liberate the forests of your nation . ”

Dulandal sent letters to many kingdoms .  It was a letter stating that with the power and authority of an imperial prince, he would reclaim the forests stolen by the elves . Then they would have to work closely with him in the future .  It lay the groundwork for a supply of armed forces to take away the throne .

It was a very obvious proposal but surprisingly, many royals agreed . No, all the royal families who received Dulandal’s offer accepted it and asked for salvation .  They wanted to reclaim the forests as soon as possible and were very dissatisfied with the current power situation .

They were forced to feel increasing dissatisfaction and anxiety because they were being destroyed while the empire and Overgeared Kingdom were sucking up honey .  They hated the empire that only favored the Overgeared Kingdom . They hated the empire that released the different species in the name of unity while neglecting them .  There was even a suspicion that the empire was using the excuse of unity in order to destroy them .

Then Dulandal made his proposal .  He was just as disgruntled with the new empire and had the power to save them .

‘The position of the other kingdoms makes sense . However, Dulandal’s greed is too much . ’

Dulandal still had many supporters .  No, it was more than ever before .  The corrupt nobles threatened by Basara willingness to intervene in politics and the economy, unlike the former emperor, gathered around Prince Dulandal .  Furthermore, Kyle’s recent return from the Ruins of the War God meant Dulandal’s force was no longer inferior to the dukes .  If he had the power of the other kingdoms then he would become a force that the empress could no longer ignore . The empire might undergo a huge conflict .

‘There is no way Empress Basara doesn’t know about this . . . ’

It would’ve been ideal if Basara stepped in and cut off the buds .  Yet strangely, Basara neglected Dulandal .  It was rumored that this was the will of the former emperor, who asked her to take care of his children . Still, what was the point if she was killed while trying to protect the will of the deceased? 

‘No, from the empress’ point of view, Dulandal must be an eyesore . Maybe she is deliberately leaving Dulandal alone to obtain the justification to break the will . ’

It was time to decide .  Should he remain with Dulandal, who would surely become a traitor, and suffer all types of dangers and damages? Or should he think of the benefits if Dulandal’s rebellion succeeded and take the risk?

‘Shit, the penalty I will receive when breaking the oath of loyalty is so big . Am I forced to stay?’

A knight’s loyalty was an obligation .  Knights who broke their vows would suffer a great loss .  It was why player knights might be abandoned by their masters but they couldn’t easily betray their masters .  Resh was struggling with a heavy heart when a notification window rose in his vision .

[Your master Dulandal has given a new command to all knights . ]

[A quest will occur . ]

[Reclaim the Forests]

[Difficulty: S

I can’t help but lament the illegal occupation of the forests by the dirty different species .

Now is the time to fight for human peace, rights, and dignity .

We will work with the innocent victims to liberate forests across the continent .

Quest Clear Condition: Liberate three forests .

Quest Clear Reward: A medal of military merit . The linked quest ‘Reclaim the Forests II’ will occur .

Quest Failure: Durandal's confidence in you will drop . ]

“Kuoong . . . ”

He should wait and observe a bit more .  Under the guidance of a senior knight, Resh left the empire with a heavy heart .
