Chapter 262: Rothschild Explodes!
While Kang Chul-In was licking his lips looking at Rothschild’s gold dragon raid, in the west of the Baldur region in some forest, “it” was being voracious .
Crunch, crunch! Rip! D-Drip .
Even while blood and spit were dripping down, it didn’t stop filling itself .
“Keuk… p-please . . . ”
Despite the fact that the prey was still alive, it continued to eat it .
Crunch, crunch!
It endlessly ripped the flesh and muscles of adventures apart, chewing their bones and drinking their blood .
There were broken body parts piled around it . It signified the number of people it ate .
“Keee…!”
It slowly raised its body after finishing its meal .
At the same time, the ‘change’ began .
Chuk, chuk!
The shining black skin that looked akin to an insect’s shell split apart, revealing pure white flesh .
About 5 hours later . . .
“Whew . . . !”
‘It’ let out a long breath, having finished its change .
It was the perfect form of a human with black hair, white skin, a tall height, and nicely toned muscles .
“Finally… finally!”
The language of humans flowed from its mouth .
“I’ve come back… like this . . . ”
The language was Korean .
Lee Gong-Myung’s appearance was exactly like how it had been when he was alive .
“Just you wait . . . ”
The thing with Lee Gong-Myung’s appearance spoke to itself .
“I’ll be there soon . . . ”
Right after it finished speaking, it began to move .
Its destination was the east, where Alex Rothschild’s Cyamodus territory was .
***
“N-Noooooooo! Hey, you son of a bitch!”
Screams of despair came from Rothschild’s mouth .
“I said ‘nooooo!’”
“‘No’?”
Kang Chul-In asked with a smirk .
“Why wouldn’t I?”
Why couldn’t he?
This was a chance to eat this tasty and strong gold dragon for free!
Also, wasn’t it a universal fact that the grass was always greener on the other side?
In fact, the gold on the other side was more gold as well .
Swish!
Kaiforce turned into a frightening-looking longsword .
Kashing!
There was a black flash, and with an explosive sound, the gold dragon’s head plopped to the floor . Its head had been cut from its body with a single swing from the sword .
Puhak! Flash!
White light wrapped around Kang Chul-In’s body .
[You leveled up! Level 73 accomplished!]
[You leveled up! Level 74 accomplished!]
[You leveled up! Level 75 accomplished!]
[You leveled up! Level 76 accomplished!]
[You leveled up! Level 77 accomplished!]
[You leveled up! Level 78 accomplished!]
It was an increase of 7 levels!
[Regal Power +100 strengthened!]
[Lord Points +2,000P!]
[You have earned the title ‘Dragon Slayer (+20% additional damage to dragonic species)’!]
Also, he received Lord Points, the new stat points, Regal Power, and the glorious title of Dragon Slayer .
Erm, it’s not that great .
They were incredible rewards, but Kang Chul-In just smacked his lips . It was because the rewards weren’t that great considering he gave the final blow .
Makes sense, it did seem small for a dragon .
The reason was simple .
The target of Rothschild’s growth quest, the gold dragon, was significantly young, and it was a lot smaller than the Blue Dragon that Kang Chul-In had hunted in the past .
Back then, three Overlords, namely Kang Chul-In, Aleister, and Hecate, had to work together against it .
“Well, this isn’t that bad . ”
It was actually pretty nice considering he got it for free . A dragon was a rare monster, so it wasn’t something you could hunt often .
“K-Kang Chul-Innnnn!”
It was then .
“You son of a bitch!”
He heard Rothschild cursing behind him .
“Y-You’re still here?”
Kang Chul-In turned around with a cheeky grin that flipped people over from frustration .
“I-It’s the Supreme King of the West!”
“What in the world!?”
“What kind of nonsense is this!? We worked so hard… n-no, I guess we just gave it to the Supreme King of the West . . . ”
The adventurers that recognized Kang Chul-In were completely shocked . They had barely succeeded in the dragon hunt but Kang Chul-In suddenly appeared… there couldn’t be anything more shocking than this .
“I’ll give you 10 seconds . ”
Kang Chul-In spoke looking at the adventurers .
“Disappear within that time . ”
He was basically saying that if they wanted to live, they should just fuck off .
“What kind of bullcrap is that!?”
“We hunted that gold dragon!”
“Hey, you thieving bastard!”
“That cowardly guy!”
The adventurers refused .
It was an expected reaction .
They were the ones who hunted the gold dragon, so they had the right to the delicious reward .
Tsk tsk, these losers .
Kang Chul-In laughed at them .
Losers . They were people that didn’t truly understand anything .
Rothschild wouldn’t share his treasure .
If Kang Chul-In didn’t come here, Rothschild would have betrayed the adventurers and hoarded the gold dragon’s corpse to himself .
And after this,
“Unfortunately, they all passed away from the tough battle . However, they were true warriors and great heroes . They will always live in my heart . ”
He would say sly things like that, and the truth would be buried forever .
“Kang Chul-In, go away!”
“You should step back . ”
“Do you think we’ll let you take it?”
But the adventurers didn’t know this, so they began to growl at Kang Chul-In like cornered rats . It was the blind eye of those who only saw the treasure .
These bastards .
A vein popped out from Kang Chul-In’s head .
Telling them to fuck off was a generous offer coming from him .
Those adventurers were people who participated in Rothschild’s raid, meaning they were clearly his enemies . It was extremely generous to even give them 10 seconds .
“Alright, then I’ll kill you all . ”
A violent voice escaped from Kang Chul-In .
“Waitttttt!”
It was then .
-Kiiik!
A metallic cry rang in the air .
“Leave it to us!”
Dorian Explorer arrived confidently on his black wyvern .
There were about 100 wyverns behind Dorian, all with riders atop of them .
It was a wyvern attack squad .
The force that Dorian created using his experience in the British special forces, SAS, was here!
“H-Hiik!?”
“Dorian Explorer?”
“Wyvern riders!”
Because of that, the faces of the adventurers who had been growling at Kang Chul-In was a sight to see .
Kang Chul-In alone was hard to deal with .
But with Overlord Dorian here as well, they had no chance of winning .
All of Rothschild’s elite soldiers had died during the raid, and Cyamodus was a mess from being hit by the gold dragon’s breath .
“Alright, well, take care of it on your own . ”
With this, Kang Chul-In completely took his attention off of the adventurers .
Dorian said he would take care of it, so there was no need for him to step up . He didn’t need to use a sword to catch a couple of chickens!
“Hey, chicken . ”
Kang Chul-In turned his head to speak to Rothschild . He spoke like he was talking to a friend he hadn’t met in a while .
“Should we have a chat?”
It was time to end it .
The hour of revenge had come!
***
The situation was perfect .
There were no hidden variables .
With no extra bodies and the Scroll of Absolute Return gone, it was impossible for Rothschild to leave this situation .
Finally .
Kang Chul-In smiled faintly .
Approximately 3 years ago, Rothschild had pierced his heart and cut off his neck with the help of Aleister . Kang Chul-In remembered everything clearly thanks to the Overlord power, Soul Backup .
But now, it was time to shake off the humiliation, rage, and thirst for revenge through Rothschild’s death!
“Kang Chul-In!”
Crunch!
A teeth breaking sound came from the growling Rothschild .
Growth quest .
With the last chance for Rothschild’s comeback gone because of Kang Chul-In, hate flowed throughout his entire body .
“You bother me… until the end . Just why… do you hold some grudge against me?”
“Well, something like that . ”
Kang Chul-In shrugged his shoulders .
“Keuk, keuk keuk . . . ”
Rothschild laughed .
“Sure, I suppose you do . Fine, let’s end this damned fate today . ”
“I was thinking the same thing . ”
“Keuk keuk, you’re pushing me all the way to the end . . . ”
Drip .
Vibrant red blood started to pour from Rothschild’s eyes .
“Keukk . . . !”
It was a sound mixed with sobs . Rothschild squeaked like an injured beast .
“Huh . ”
Kang Chul-In grinned .
“Are you planning on begging me you chick . . . ”
At that moment, Rothschild’s body suddenly began to split .
“Hm?”
Kang Chul-In narrowed his eyes at the sudden change .
“I heard you entered a cocoon and you’re doing all kinds of stuff . ”
Flash!
Mitra started to let out a brilliant light from his hip .
What is this?
Kang Chul-In was confused . It was strange .
Unlike the merciless Karforce, Mitra was a sword that couldn’t destroy life . Since such a holy sword was starting to shine, there was definitely a reason for it .
For example, it could mean that Rothschild wasn’t human .
-Master!
And of course, Mitra’s voice dug into Kang Chul-In’s brain .
-That man is an Agnaga’s subordinate!
Agnaga .
He had heard of that name before .
Didn’t Kaiforce say something about Agnaga?
-Yes, Master .
Mitra replied .
-Kaiforce was the subordinate of Urosinfinit, the Machine of Annihilation . . . one of the 5 Agnaga .
And? So that guy is also one of the Agnaga’s subordinates?
-Yes, sir! I can feel the power of the Furious Beast, Bergelmir!
I don’t understand what kind of bullshit this is .
Kang Chul-In didn’t know what to say .
The Machine of Annihilation, Urosinfinit?
And the Furious Beast, Bergelmir?
He didn’t know anything about this .
-You have to kill that man!
Mitra spoke firmly .
She put so much emphasis on her words that Kang Chul-In’s head hurt .
-If you can’t kill him now . . . !
You’re too loud .
-M-Master!
I was going to kill him, anyway .
The sword’s interference was out of place .
Kang Chul-In wasn’t a fool, so why would he let Rothschild live?
“Well, it’ll be more fun to kill a guy that’s resisting . ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Chul-In lifted Kaiforce and Mitra at the same time .
Swish!
