Overgeared Chapter 466:

Chapter 466

Empress Marie .

The mother of the 4th prince, she had the ambition to place her son on the imperial throne .  After Empress Aria’s death and captivating the emperor’s heart, she built up a strong relationship with the nobles and reorganized the Red Knights into her own limbs .

At one time, the Red Knights were judged to be weaker than the Red Knights of the previous generations . But now? Quite the opposite .  The current knights receive the instructions of the enlightened Sword Duke Limit and had the power of a great swordsman . It was no surprise that the Red Knights of the modern world were judged to be much better than the past knights .

Thanks to that, Marie’s position increased further .  Whatever her intentions, she brilliantly trained the Red Knights, making the emperor more favorable towards her .

Originally, Marie should’ve been happy . However, it was actually a headache .  Ever since the Five Pillars were obtained, the emperor recognized the Red Knights as ‘usable tiles’ again . The number of tasks the Red Knights received from the emperor gradually increased, causing frequent gaps in Marie’s armed forces .

‘Juander . . . I know that you love me, but it’s impossible for me to control you . ’

He wasn’t the emperor of an empire for nothing . It wasn’t easy for him to be deceived by his heart . No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t completely get him under her thumb . She felt a sense of crisis since Asmophel was kidnapped by someone, and created a new group as a defensive instinct .

She would use dogs that were only loyal to herself, out of reach of the emperor and other nobles .

Once every four months, two full moons would overlap in one night .  When the coastal waters of Brinichi experienced a low tide, a secret path would be revealed .  A purple road leading into the deep abyss of the sea .  It headed towards Siren .  That’s right .  Originally, Siren was a place that could only be entered once every four months .

However, since it was released by Euphemina, numerous players visited there and succeeded in finding several new paths . Now Siren became a place that could be visited at any time .

“Is it really there?”

Rab .  Based on the speed of the wyvern, it was a place that could be reached by flying for two hours from Reidan’s desert .  Katz gulped as he confirmed the gigantic whirlpool swirling in the centre .  They had to fly into that whirlpool to enter Siren? Katz couldn’t understand it .

“If we fall down there, won’t we 100% die?”

Surely these guys weren’t trying to kill him because they disliked him? Katz didn’t trust his colleagues because he had just joined the team . He couldn’t believe people due to the environment that he grew up in . He fought against his blood brothers and sisters over who would become the successor .  

For Katz, trusting humans wasn’t easy .

“I don’t know why you’re so timid . ”

As a descendant of an independent fighter, Peak Sword hated Japanese people who made racist remarks like Alexander of Russia .  Fortunately, Katz didn’t mind his tone .  He didn’t forget his mistake of ignoring and criticizing the Korean people in the past . Katz might have a selfish personality, but he wasn’t the type to deny his mistakes .

"I understand why you hate me . I want to apologize for my attitude and remarks in the past . ”

“ . . . Eh?”

Peak Sword was embarrassed by Katz’ unexpected reaction . The Katz that he knew was a **** . He didn’t show such a mild attitude in the past .

‘Isn’t he a bad guy?’

How should he respond?  Katz kicked the **** of the worried Peak Sword .

“Why aren’t you apologizing?”

"Ah, this X!”

Peak Sword fell into the whirlpool that was the entrance and Katz checked to see if he had died or not .  Pon and Regas laughed like they found it funny .  Huroi watched the four crazy people and realized again .

‘Normal people are rare in Overgeared . I should stay alert so that Grid isn’t damaged . ’

Huroi was someone whose specialty was talking about parents . Looking at it objectively, he was the most garbage person in Overgeared .

Water clan .  Their physical characteristics were very similar to humans .  They looked like humans apart from the gills on their shoulders and arms, as well as the sparkling scales on their thighs .  It was easy to think of them as humans who could live in water .

However, their strength and magic power were several times higher than normal humans and the possibility of development was high . If they didn’t have the fatal weakness of low fertility and not being able to live long on land, they would’ve built a civilization that would’ve surpassed humanity .

“I found a means of harnessing the magic power accumulated in their hearts . Go to Siren right now and obtain as many hearts as possible . . . No, take them all . ” 

White was one of the best users of Blood Carnival . Half a year ago, she joined the Rose Knights who served Empress Marie and had been loyal to Marie ever since . Marie was one of the few people who could satisfy her desires .

“It’s bad luck not being pretty . ”

White reminisced about Marie’s explanation and command while looking around Siren .  She noticed a sand castle rising in the center of the beautiful underwater kingdom .  

Escente laughed at the sight of the water clan being killed as they fled .

"It’s rare to have beauty . Do you think the water clan are stupid because they’re fish? Why build a castle with sand?”

Escente was a member of Blood Carnival like White .  But he had nothing to do with Marie or the Rose Knights . He could participate in this expedition because White shared the quest with him .

“One heart is 80 gold . . . 100 hearts can be converted into 7,000 dollars . ”

“It’s 70,000 dollars if it is 1,000 hearts! Kukuk! This isn’t a triple S quest! It’s a very lucrative quest!”

In addition to Escente, many Blood Carnival players participated in this expedition .  As many as 30 people .  Around one third of Blood Carnival was gathered in Siren .  Blood Carnival was a group specializing in combat and slaughter, so the capabilities of 30 of them gathered at once was beyond the imagination .

They’d also hired mercenaries or gathered colleagues, so there were close to 1,000 people .  The average level was 233! The seven guilds? Overgeared? Those groups of people couldn’t even give them business cards . The Blood Carnival people were proud and strong .

The water clan soldiers who weren’t used to war were just prey in front of them .

Seokeok!

Siren City .

After killing an elderly man shivering on one side, Escente laughed as he defeated two soldiers who ran over aggressively in succession .

"Easy, easy! Really easy! Their levels are too low! Instead of 1,000, I will catch one million!”

The average level of the thousands of citizens were around 100, while the soldiers had an average level of 180 .  One variable was being able to use water attribute magic, but that had already been expected .  It wasn’t much of a threat since they wore items to increase resistance to the water attribute as much as possible .

Water clan .  They were weak and easy prey worth 80 gold each .

Blood Carnival and their army were filled with excitement as they started the slaughter . The Siren Kingdom’s beautifully made city of water and sand became tinged with blood instantly .

3rd Prince Gulong arrived at the battlefield late and cried out .

“Wicked humans . . . !”

The water clan weren’t aggressive .  They knew satisfaction and didn’t easily covet things . For them, the human race who didn’t care about deceiving, stealing, or killing others was a target of disgust .

“Why? Why do you come into the depths of the ocean to invade and slaughter us? Even the women and children who can’t resist . . . !?”

Gulong swung a scimitar at Escente .  Escente was surprised as he blocked the attack .  It was because after the sword exchange, Gulong leaned forward and knocked against Escent with his rock-hard shoulder . He wasn’t merely a fighter, but a warrior capable of tactics .

“Ugh . ”

Escent was hit in the chest and flew far away, but got up immediately . His mouth twisted in an ugly manner .

"Does it really mean anything to catch a fish? This **** fish!”

“Disgraceful person!”

Gulong’s movements became more aggressive as he was provoked . It was stronger and quicker due to maximizing the effects of fast swordsmanship, but it also left gaps . Escente counterattacked with a shield and struck Gulong’s jaw .

“Aha! It is easy to go against a stupid bastard!”

Gulong was a named NPC .  If Escente could catch this NPC, wouldn’t he receive at least 100,000 gold? The greedy Escente started to push at Gulong .  However, Gulong was stronger than he thought . The third advancement Escente couldn’t knock him down and was eventually driven to the defensive .

“Somebody help!"

Escente belatedly realized and shouted urgently, but there was no one to help him .  The Blood Carnival was merely a group created to share information that was beneficial to one another . There was no desire to help each other .   If there wasn’t the minimum of rules, they would’ve already stabbed each other in the back .

"Block with your shield before you die! That’s what you get for being too greedy!"

“Kyakyak! Look at that unseemly form! Pathetic!”

Escente’s companions mocked rather than help him .

“Son of a **** . . . !”

After passing through this crisis, Escente wanted to pass on the aggro to the others .  But this **** Gulong showed no gaps . At least three third advancement classes working together would be needed to raid him .

‘Why am I facing this monster . . . ?’

He had only collected 27 hearts . He only got 2,160 gold and the loss would be too big if he died .

‘I’m ruined!’

The moment Escente was feeling frustration .

"Kyaaack!”

“Aah! Mother! Father!”

Blood Carnival and their army started to increase the pace of their slaughter .  They entered the locked houses and killed the people hiding inside, irrespective of gender or age .  Screaming women and crying children .  They didn’t care about the pain and sadness . They wouldn’t have joined Blood Carnival or accepted this quest if they worried about such things in the first place .  

“Stop! Stop right now!”

Gulong couldn’t bear to see the innocent people being cruelly murdered . Escente stabbed a sword in Gulong’s side and shouted .

“Hahat! Looking away during a battle!”

"Ugh!"

Gulong realized that the situation was desperate .  The number of his soldiers was ten times more than the number of humans, but numbers had no meaning, considering the strength of the humans . One of the strongest warriors of the water clan couldn’t help because he was **** by one human .

‘Brother . . . !’

1st Prince Paong was isolated among humans and seemed to be in a crisis .  As the prophet Miong said, was **** abandoning them? The moment that Gulong closed his eyes, waiting for the human to hurt him . . .  

Kwajajajak!

A flash fell from the sky like a lightning bolt and struck Escente’s head .  It was an unexpected blow .  The skill ignored defense, and Escente, who fell into a stunned state, turned his eyes in the direction it came from . Then he saw a man .

“A beautiful river of blood . ”

Ssik .

The ID of the laughing man was Katz . His smile was tinged with insanity . Compared to Escente and other members of Blood Carnival, he seemed the most insane .

“Blood Warrior . . . ?”

Kuoooooh!

The blood of the water clan on the battlefield slowly rose into the sky, a strange, cruel, and beautiful sight that enchanted people .
