Chapter 75. Shut up with your bull****

Editor: Arya

Translator: Leyy

As the gates opened, the golden glow from inside slowly faded, revealing what was inside.

'Akan's hall?'

Looking inside, Kang Chul-In recalled the Hall, where the Great Summoning had occurred, and where the future 'Lord Meetings' would also occur.

Yes.

Looking inside, the interior was almost the same as the hall of Akan, 'the messenger of god'. It was a structure that used both Gothic and Baroque as influences to build.

The Ancient Kingdom.

Akan's hall, the current 'Royal Palace', and the dungeons that Kang Chul-In had faced previously…

All of the most important, key 'things' were all related to the Ancient Kingdom.

The true rulers of the continent from 1000 years ago. The remains of the kingdom were just about to test Kang Chul-In.

- Come.

A serious, heavy voice could be heard from behind the doors.

"Come?"

Kang Chul-In snorted, and ignored the voice.

"How dare you."

pleased. Not even the president of the United States, or China could tell him to do so, he would smack them in the face if they did.

And telling someone like this to 'come'?

To Kang Chul-In, this was blatant mockery. Arrogance was ingrained inside Kang Chul-In, and was one of the key factors that made up who he was.

- Arrogant one, you will pay the price with your death.

The heavy voice answered Kang Chul-In.

BAM!

And suddenly, a giant broadsword appeared, and hit the floor of the hall.

- The Lord of Laputa will be humble, and will always look forward to everything like they are challenging an opponent.

Inside the hall, a knight that had white armor spoke, with the same heavy voice.

'An 'immortal knight'.'

Looking at it, Kang Chul-In could tell what it was.

An immortal knight was a high ranked unit, that was at least level 100.

This immortal knight was at least a few stages higher than a death knight, and if the death knight was a knight made of the darkness attribute from a necromancer, an immortal knight was a knight of the light attribute composed purely of mana, allowing it to keep the appearance of a person before death.

And to the current Kang Chul-In and his fellow 'explorers', this was a disaster.

"I-Is that the final boss?"

Dorain was startled at the sight of the immortal knight, who stood at 3m.

"No."

Kang Chul-In shook his head.

Although the immortal knight was truly powerful and could definitely be the boss of a difficult dungeon, this was not it.

"Look behind."

Kang Chul-In pointed further beyond the immortal knight.

"The altar… the door…"

James was startled.

"M-Milord… The knight is not the final boss…"

Lucia was also surprised.

"This guy, he's just a middle boss. The real boss… is behind him."

To think that the named immortal knight would just be a checkpoint in a dungeon, it was scary to think what kind of existance was beyond the door.

'But there might be hope'.

Because the immortal knight here was of the light attribute, there was still a faint chance that the children of Laputa might still be alive.

Why was that? Well, there were very few true 'psychopaths' that used the light attribute.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a bunch of blackish currents started swirling…

And…

Bang!

Suddenly, over 50 'Spectre Knights'; which were higher ranked versions of the death knights appeared.

"Hu…." Kang Chul-In sighed deeply.

"Now, show me what that stupid test of yours is."

And he stepped forward.

"Chul-In!"

"Milord!"

"Milord, not by yourself…"

But while Dorian, Lucia and James were worried about Kang Chul-In….

"Kuku… how could the ghosts of the kingdom dare to touch his majesty."

Nilus was laughing, just looking at this situation from the sidelines.

'We cannot win anyway. I have to go fight myself.'

Kang Chul-In was aware that if they fought against the immortal knight, and the 50 spectre knights, they would undoubtedly be wiped out.

Although the enemies were lowered by 50 levels due to his circumstances, they were undoubtedly powerful.

50 spectre knights that were level 40, as well as an immortal knight that was level 50. Rather than fighting head-on to their deaths, it would be better to just hear the contents of the 'test'.

- The test is…

The immortal knight opened its mouth.

- Defeat me, and prove yourself worthy as the true owner of Laputa.

It was simpler than expected.

"And my subordinates?"

- They will be… hostages.

"Hostages?"

- I will begin the test.

… and as the words left his mouth.

"They're coming!"

"I'll take the front!"

"I'll defend the left flank!"

The spectre knights charges straight towards Kang Chul-In's friend, and subordinates.

"You're going to take my people hostage right in front of me?"

Kang Chul-In's eyes turned blue from rage.

'Ahh… milord… always, always trying to carry all of the weight by himself…'

Looking at Kang Chul-In running towards the immortal knight looked very sad and desolate to Lucia, and she felt her heart ripping. To her, all she wanted to do was help Kang Chul-In with some of his responsibilities, as the secretary.

"How dare you!"

And as Lucia shouted…

[War Machine Mode, R.E.A.D.Y.]

Turning on the War Machine mode, Lucia started pouring down attacks relentlessly against the Spectre Knights.

Kang Chul-In was struggling.

'I'm losing in terms of power.'

Between the 3m tall immortal knight and the 183cm Kang Chul-In, there was obviously a disparity in strength.

- Is this all you've got to show?

Although the immortal knight had its level lowered by

50, it was able to easily block off Kang Chul-In's attacks. This was not the problem of the levels of skill levels but the problem of the difference in basic attack and defense. Because…

KAKANG!

Most of Kang Chul-In's attacks were accurately 'hitting' the immortal knight's back, legs, as well the neck.

- Fake Lord.

The immortal knight spoke insolently.

- You do not have the qualifications nor the rights to possess the soul core of Laputa. Quickly, give it to me.

Rage seeping into Kang Chul-In; he activated Overdrive as well as Sword Light at the same time. However…

The strength of the immortal knight suddenly surged, and it swung it's broadsword that was now full of starlight.

'This guy is getting stronger too?'

It was strange.

BANG!

Kang Chul-In and the immortal knight's clashed against each other.

"Kuk…"

And Kang Chul-In was pushed back by 5 meters. He had lost in terms of strength even after using Overdrive.

"Cough!"

Kang Chul-In coughed out blood. The violent and impactful clash between the two swords caused a great shock and strain on his body.

- Look.

The immortal knight suddenly pointed backwards.

- Your friends are in danger.

Just like the immortal knight was saying, Dorian, Lucia, Nilus, and James were all pushed to the brink of death.

If Lucia's War Machine Mode turned off, they would definitely crumble.

- Give up. If you give up, you can live.

The immortal knight instead asked him to surrender.

'Overdrive, Phase Two.'

But instead of listening, Kang Chul-In activated the second phase of Overdrive.

If the first phase Overdrive used mana as a resource to boost one's capabilities by 40%, then phase two used mana as well as one's life force to boost one's capabilities by a whole 60%.

But due to the fact that one's life force was required to activate it, someone like Alfred was needed to help and heal from this loss.

But right now, there wasn't much choice left.

To use 'that ability' he still required more levels. Right now, the only solution he had to the problem he was facing was to activate phase two Overdrive.

Swoosh!

Around Kang Chul-In formed a tornado of mana that could not be compared to the past Overdrives that he had used.

"Stop with your bull**** and farce."

And Kang Chul-In, with his 60% increase in abilities, swung his sword towards the immortal knight once more, with Sword Light also activated.

And at that moment!

- You cannot defeat me.

The immortal knight once more started becoming stronger, and showed an enormous pressure. It was clear that he had a slight edge over Kang Chul-In, even in his phase two Overdrive.

'This doesn't make any sense…'

Becoming stronger as the opponent got stronger? Was there an existence that had an ability like this?

If this immortal knight truly got stronger as an opponent got stronger, then even the Kang Chul-In of the past would find it difficult to defeat it.

'Danger!'

And as the two swords collided against each other…

CLANG!

Ifrita, Kang Chul-In's sword, was shattered into pieces.

And the immortal knight didn't give Kang Chul-In time to get back into position.

'I won't be able to avoid the next strike.'

The immortal knight, who managed to get in front of Kang Chul-In brandished its fist, which was almost as big as a person's head.

BANG!

Kang Chul-In, who was struck by the punch of the immortal knight, was flung back onto the altar.

"Kuk…"

And pointing directly at the Kang Chul-In that was on the floor was a sword that was at least 30cm thick.

- Fake Lord, you are not capable to be the true ruler of Laputa. Admit that you are an imposter, and beg for your life. If you do so, you and your companions will be spared.

It was the worst humiliation that Kang Chul-In faced.

Even in his past life, there was no existence that could overpower him like this. He had not seen or heard of an opponent that would follow their opponents, and become stronger as they did.

"Milord!"

Lucia despaired, while being surrounded simultaneously by 8 spectre knights.

"Hey, you son of a *****! What the hell do you think you're doing to my friend?!"

Dorian was the same.

"Mi-Milord… I… this servant… could not protect…"

James cried, already half dead from the wounds that he had received.

Nilus…

"Kuku… these things that will kneel in front of his majesty sooner or later are still showing off."

…was still unable to face reality even after being beaten up like a rag doll. The belief that he had in Kang Chul-In was so strong that he couldn't feel any sense of danger.

Meanwhile Kang Chul-In…

'There's no choice but to use it.'

Was thinking of the final trump card that he had.

- Will you still not surrender?

The monster-like immortal knight that grew stronger with its opponent started walking towards Kang Chul-In again, once again offering him to surrender.

'Sword… I don't have a sword.'

But Kang Chul-In completely ignored what the immortal knight was saying.

- If you do not surrender, I will kill your companions. Kneel, and admit that you are just an imposter.

"I hear all kinds of bull**** while living, huh?"

Kang Chul-In spoke with a voice full of murderous intent. And in his eyes there was a dangerousness that could not be seen after he had reincarnated.

Even though his current state was pitiful… Kang Chul-In didn't feel any fear.

"Shut up with your bull****."

- ....!

Kang Chul-In laughed at the immortal knight.

"Do you really think that your stupid blackmailing would work against me? Kill them if you will."

Was there a Lord like that? No.

If there was a Lord like that, then they would truly be the ones without the qualifications to be a Lord.

A Lord was an existence that was supposed to be on top of a tower of bones and blood, and was one that was always supposed to be selfish. Kang Chul-In thought that it would be better to die than to beg for his life and say that he was a fake Lord.

Before reincarnating, Kang Chul-In was someone that was arrogant even moments before Rothschild had chopped his head off. There was no way that threats of this level would work against him.

- Imposter, at least your attitude…

And at that moment.

BANG!

Kang Chul-In suddenly stood up, and kicked the midriff section of the immortal knight, pushing it away. He was buying time with a sneak attack.

'Sword, I need a sword!'

He had no intention of fighting barehanded against the immortal knight. He was already pushed against the brink, and he needed a sword to defend himself.

"Your highness! Your highness's sword is there!"

Nilus pointed towards the altar that was ruined from the impact of the collision earlier.

'My sword?'

Although turning away one's attention during battle was fatal and definitely suicide, Kang Chul-In was lead by a sort of 'desire' to turn his head, and unintentionally turned his head.

And there… was a sword that had a peculiar shape that he had never once seen before. It seemed like it was inside the altar, and only revealed itself after the altar was destroyed.

Dugeun!

His heart started fluttering.

Dugeun!

It was beating intensely.

'It's calling me'.

Kang Chul-In instinctively felt that the sword was calling him.

- Imposter.

The immortal knight spoke again.

- Do not be greedy. That object is only for the true Lord of Laputa to have. It is not someone like you to…

Kang Chul-In once again completely ignore what the immortal knight was saying.

The true Lord of Laputa?

That was Kang Chul-In.

Even though the immortal knight continued to deny the fact that Kang Chul-In was in fact the true owner of Laputa, he was not at all shaken. If he was not the true Lord of Laputa, then who was?

'Although this doesn't make any sense…'

Walking towards the sword, Kang Chul-In felt that the dungeon and the sword was the thing that led him here. Although he didn't believe in destiny and fate, and even refused to believe in it, this time around he was thinking that it might be the work of fate.

Kang Chul-In got close to the sword.

- One without the qualifications, if you touch the sword a disaster…

Although the immortal knight warned him…

Ignoring the immortal knight, he grabbed the sword with his bloodstained hands. The feeling when he grabbed it was as if he was meeting with an old friend of his.

Chapter 76. Soft Sword Kaiforce

Editor: Arya

Translator: Leyy

Nothing happened. Even to the point where the serious immortal knight felt embarrassed.

"A disaster, huh…"

Kang Chul-In snorted at what the immortal knight had said before. They were words that had flipped him over.

"Fake Lord?"

"Look carefully with your two eyes and see who the true Lord of Laputa is!"

The sword that was only meant for the true Lord of Laputa was being firmly grasped between Kang Chul-In's hands.

- I-I cannot accept this.

The immortal knight stammered, denying reality.

- O-Only his majesty is the true Lord of Laputa.

"Both you, as well as Nilus. Only knowing to speak of the stupid past."

Kang Chul-In also dissed Nilus unintentionally(?).

"That stupid emperor that you guys are talking about probably died a horrible death over a thousand years ago, how amazing is he for you guys to still be rambling on about him?"

Kang Chul-In found it difficult to accept this, and found it stupid.

"If you really want to see 'his majesty', why don't you go around the continent digging for some bones. Maybe you'll be able to see him then."

Kang Chul-In spoke insolently, not caring at all about that stupid 'his majesty'.

How amazing was he, and how similar was the emperor to him that Nilus and the immortal knight were still talking about him after so long.

- H-How dare you speak like that to the emperor!

"What stupid emperor. If you wanna see him that badly… "

Kang Chul-In spoke.

"Go to hell."

And saying that, Kang Chul-In poured mana into his blade, causing something astonishing to happen.

The sword's shape was peculiar, with the blade being about 90cm long, and the handle adding an extra 40cm there, with the shape being similar to Earth's two-handed sword 'Zweihander', and seemed to weigh at least 20kg.

And not only that, there was gold in some parts of the sword, for some reason. And the moment he poured mana into this peculiar shaped sword, Kang Chul-In was faced with a voice from a world that was made of nothing.

– You, do, not, have, the qualifications, to possess me, yet.

And this voice once again spoke, startling Kang Chul-In.

– If you want to be accepted by me, become stronger.

Kang Chul-In could tell where this voice was originating from. It was the sword, the sword was talking to him.

An 'Ego Sword', a sword that has its own mind!

It looked unique from the beginning, and it seemed like the sword was actually one that even surpassed the epic rank.

-Although you are laughing, I will lend you my power this once.

The Ego Sword spoke.

"Hmph, know your place. Don't speak of lending your power to others when you're just a scrap of metal."

Kang Chul-In's will and the Ego Sword fought against each other mentally.

– A puny, human, dares, to challenge, me?

"Kneel, you piece of scrap metal."

The two mental energies had a silent clash against each other.

– Do, you, not surrender?

The Ego Sword started to fight with a greater power than before. Although this was enough energy to completely destroy the mind of an ordinary person, Kang Chul-In fought resiliently.

'If I do not endure here, I will be devoured.'

Objects with its own mind were in fact evil tools that could devour one's soul. At that point it was not the person swinging the sword, but the sword controlling the human instead. The one in control would change.

– Surrender, and I, will give, you strength.

The Ego Sword continued to pressure Kang Chul-In.

But Kang Chul-In was not an ordinary person.

'Stupid piece of metal.'

As rage started seeping out of Kang Chul-In, his will also got stronger. The anger was able to intensify Kang Chul-In's mental power.

"Know your place."

Kang Chul-In easily pushed away and overpowered the mental strength of the Ego Sword.

-How, can, a human, have, this, strength…!

The Ego Sword was very surprised.

"I will erase your existence."

– ...!

"Get lost, you piece of scrap metal."

Kang Chul-In prepared himself one last time, and started to push even harder against the Ego Sword.

– Your, mental, strength, is powerful.

The Ego Sword was impressed.

– But, now, is, not the time, to fight.

And saying that, the Ego Sword stopped pressuring Kang Chul-In.

– We, should stop, today.

It was the Ego Sword that tried to run away from the confrontation.

"You cannot run without my permission, scrap metal."

But Kang Chul-In continued to pressure the

Ego Sword with his mental power.

– I, am not, a piece, of, scrap metal. I, am, the only, sword, of, the, mighty, Emperor, of, Blood, and Iron. I, am, the, Soft Sword (literal translation is snake sword, but I thought soft sword would be better), Kaiforce.

TZZT!

And at that moment, the world that the two of them were having their silent confrontation in started to split and crack.

-Today, I will, go back. Later, I, will, test, you, again.

Kang Chul-In couldn't stop Kaiforce from running away. It seemed as if the world was made purely of Kaiforce's will. It was not his territory.

"Stupid scrap metal, come again any time you want."

Kang Chul-In instead insulted Kaiforce for running away.

And he opened his eyes.

"Huu…"

Maybe it was because he had spent a ridiculous amount of mental energy, but Kang Chul-In felt exhausted, but his body felt surging with strength.

"…..!"

Something was off.

His body, that was full of wounds was completely healed now. Even his depleted mana was completely full again, and his body was once again functioning perfectly.

"M-Milord!"

And looking at Kang Chul-In, Lucia was deeply moved.

"Kang Chul-In… how?"

Dorian was surprised.

"Mi-Milord… how… can… you have… such strength?"

And James was also startled.

"Kuku… as expected of his majesty."

And Nilus, as usual was laughing uproariously as if he had expected that this would happen.

'Is it due to this thing?'

Kang Chul-In stared at Kaiforce, that was within his hands.

[Epic] Soft Sword Kaiforce

The famous sword of the Emperor of Blood and Iron of the Ancient Kingdom.

HIdden: (Unavailable, Unlocked after level 120)

'This is ridiculous'.

As expected, the sword was ridiculously powerful.

Although Kang Chul-In was at a low level and could not show the true force of the weapon, there was no epic item that could have the same stats and impact as Kaiforce at this level.

The only downside to this sword was the fact that this sword would try to devour his soul.

When he was off guard, and his mental barrier was down, Kaiforce would undoubtedly try to strike against him. He definitely needed to be careful. Kaiforce was truly what you would call a two-sided blade.

'Well, we'll see whether you, or I win'.

Kang Chul-In swore in his heart.

He could tell that the sword was not truly under his control.

– You… have… gotten the approval of Kaiforce…

The immortal knight's voice was quivering.

– The Soul Core of Laputa… Kaiforce… Maybe you are the true…

Although the immortal knight was looking at him confusedly, Kang Chul-In wasn't one to care.

"Test?"

Kang Chul-In had no intention of finishing the ongoing fight.

And even before the immortal knight kneeled…

"I do not need your approval."

Holding Kaiforce, Kang Chul-In dashed towards the immortal knight.

KAKANG!

And he swung his sword at the immortal knight's blade.

TZZT!

And unexpectedly, a crack appeared within the immortal knight's sword.

'I will destroy it.'

Kang Chul-In was one to never forgive ones that had driven him to the brink.

And not only this, the immortal knight had mocked and insulted Kang Chul-In, humiliating him as well as saying that he wasn't the true Lord of Laputa. To Kang Chul-In, the only option left was deft.

CHULKUK!

And bending to Kang Chul-In's will, Kaiforce suddenly changed shape, and changed into a saw.

TZZT!

And with sword light activated on the saw that was Kaiforce, it ripped apart the midriff of the immortal knight, as if the knight's armor was made of tofu.

CRASH!

And the immortal knight, that was already half destroyed, knelt down at the spot.

"Kang Chul-In… that monster…"

Dorian mumbled.

– The owner of Kaiforce… The true Lord of Laputa…

And the fallen immortal knight looked so weak and frail.

-I… I see your majesty…

The immortal knight strained to look at Kang Chul-In.

-It… It is an honor to see you again…

But staring at the immortal knight, Kang Chul-In's gaze was piercingly cold.

"Just like a broken clock…"

Kang Chul-In rated the immortal knight like this.

"Why don't you just remain in the past forever."

And he swung Kaifroce.

CHOP!

And decapitated the immortal knight.

KWANG!

And with a loud noise, the head made of metal rolled on the floor.

"What your majesty."

'As for the rest…'

There were still enemies that he had to destroy and kill. The spectre knights were still remaining.

"…Where are they?"

But the spectre knights were gone.

"Milord…!"

Lucia, who was in an absolutely pitiful state wobbled towards Kang Chul-In, and handed him a blackish bracelet.

"The spectre knights… were all absorbed into this bracelet."

It was also an epic item.

[Epic] Owner of the Ghosts

A bracelet that has the ghosts that were part of the Ancient Kingdom's Knights.

Option 1: Summons 50 Spectre Knights that are 70% of the owner's level (at least level 40) (Cooldown: 24 hours)

An item that had the option to summon forces that were equivalent to a knight force and grew along with the user? An item like this was absolutely amazing to the current Kang Chul-In.

"Lucia."

Putting the bracelet onto his hand, Kang Chul-In spoke to Lucia.

"Yes, milord."

"Just endure for a little bit more. Only the final boss is left."

"Milord… you will challenge it right away..?"

"James isn't in a good condition right now."

Kang Chul-In pointed at the unconscious James.

"We need to hurry up, and get back quickly.

Kang Chul-In walked towards the altar in big strides.

"Just hide your bodies for a while. I will fight the boss alone."

Not to mention the fact that he was at a perfect condition, he had even earnt Kaiforce, and could also summon the Spectre Knights. He was planning on destroying the final boss right now.

It was easy to open the door.

As he walked towards the door Kaiforce started emitting light, and all Kang Chul-In had to do was insert Kaiforce into the door like a key. It seemed like Kaiforce was required to go to the next stage.

CREAKKK!

And the door slowly opened.

'A marionetteer that has incredible psychokinesis.'

Thinking of the boss beyond the door, Kang Chul-In prepared himself. Although this would definitely be a tough fight, he didn't feel any sort of life threatening danger.

But… as the door opened, Kang Chul-In almost dropped Kaiforce.

Maybe the age of an elementary school student?

A girl with black hair holding a teddy bear within her small arms stared at Kang Chul-In.

And she spoke.

"Royal Father?"

Kang Chul-In's face stiffened.

Chapter 77. Unmarried Father, Kang Chul-In.

Editor: Arya

Translator: Leyy

There was no 'psychopath murderer' here.

Behind the altar was a giant house, as well as an amusement park.

"Hahahaha!"

The children of Laputa were riding all sorts of rides, and having fun.

And staring at their faces, they looked like they were having the time of their lives, and it made the rescue team seem foolish.

"Royal father… sob… Father…"

The girl with black hair that seemed like it was weaved from the night sky stared at Kang Chul-In, and started sobbing.

'…Since when am I a father.'

And while Kang Chul-In was feeling startled, information of the girl in front of him popped up.

– Name: Arshelly Berlineta Pon Aurangzeb.

– Title: The Imperial Princess

– Age: 9 years old

– Rank: S rank (potential, immeasurable)

-Occupation: Lovely daughter, kind daughter, princess, magician, swordsman, psychic.

-Specialty: Everything

Explanation: The imperial princess of the Ancient Kingdom.

Born between the Emperor of Blood and Iron Julius Berlineta Pon Aurangzeb and the Royal Queen, she is born with an extremely powerful and impressive heritage and bloodline.

*Lovely

*Cannot be hated

*If truly awakened, immeasurable

S rank… immeasurable potential… even Nilus isn't able to compare to this.

Kang Chul-In had never seen a ridiculous unit like this.

9 years old and already an S rank unit, as well as an immeasurable potential.

And excluding the occupation of being a 'Lovely and Kind Daughter', being a magician, swordsman, and a psychic? There were some rare occasions where some powerful people could control both magic and the sword resulting in becoming the class of the Magic Swordsman, but there was no case where they also had psychic powers like right now. It was not like the human had two brains…

"Father…"

The girl, the imperial princess of the Ancient Kingdom, Arshelly started carefully walking towards Kang Chul-In.

'Danger!'

And staring at Arshelly, Kang Chul-In tried to swing his sword.

'I cannot be deceived.'

Kang Chul-In wasn't naive enough to be tricked by the outer appearance of this little girl.

If one was not careful in the dungeon, it would undoubtedly lead to their deaths.

This situation could be an illusion, and could just be a fake. The second that he let his heart relax, he could be killed.

However…

"I have been waiting for you, royal father."

Wiping off her tears, Arshelly stopped her sobbing and stopped about 3m in front of Kang Chul-In.

"What kind of bull…"

"Have you been well?"

Politely putting her two hands together, Arshelly bowed at Kang Chul-In.

"Daughter… this girl has been waiting for royal father. The promise that you would

come back… I had no doubt that you would keep it."

Looking at her red eyes as well as her nose, she seemed to be very emotional.

"I wanted to see you… wanted to see royal father…"

Arshelly was speaking in a trembling tone, and it was obvious that she was barely stopping herself from crying. As expected of the Imperial Princess, she was very sensible for her age. After all, she was only 9…

"Royal father."

Arshelly once again called Kang Chul-In, and her wet eyes were so lovely that it made everyone other than Kang Chul-In want to hug her, and comfort her.

"Father… C-Can I hug…"

"Hmph."

Kang Chul-In shook his head as if he was displeased.

"No."

"… Why not?"

Arshelly got depressed again.

"Don't be foolish. I am not your father, the Emperor of Blood and Iron. And not only that, I have never married before in my life. I do not have a daughter like you."

Kang Chul-In's reply was very cold.

Nilus, the immortal knight, even Arshelly… Kang Chul-In was displeased at the fact that all of these people thought that he was the stupid Emperor.

It was at that moment.

"K-Kang Chul-In…"

With a strange expression, Dorian pointed at a wall that was far away.

"What."

"Isn't… that you?"

At the far wall, there was a portrait that was about 10 by 8 meters hung on it.

'What the…'

Looking at the portrait, Kang Chul-In's face stiffened.

'He' was there.

A man wearing royal clothes of an emperor with black hair, he was looking arrogant and imposing. Was it as expected from an emperor?

But the problem… was that he looked to similar to the current Kang Chul-In. Other than the red eyes that the emperor had, everything else was the same, and it wouldn't be a stretch to say that it was actually a portrait of Kang Chul-In.

Maybe they used the expression doppelganger in moments like this.

"Why is there a portrait of milord there…"

Lucia who had also come because she was worried about Kang Chul-In stared

at the portrait and immediately thought of Kang Chul-In.

"Kuku!"

And Nilus, as always, was laughing.

'There was a reason that he thought of me as the emperor.'

It made sense.

Even Kang Chul-In admitted that looking at the portrait was like he was staring at

a mirror.

[The emperor is watching.]

Even the caption on the portrait was ridiculously arrogant. It seemed as if the emperor had a habit and hobby of bullying his servants and subordinates to work.

"Father."

Arshelly once again called Kang Chul-In.

"This one… has waited for a thousand years. If you could just hug me once… I… I really wanted to see you…"

Like a lovely puppy, Arshelly looked at Kang Chul-In and once again asked him to hug her.

And Lucia…

'Oh my… how could a child be so lovely and composed at such a young age?'

'I… I wanna hug her instead of Kang Chul-In instead….'

…was what Dorian was thinking.

"Hmmm… what a lovely young girl."

And strangely, Nilus started stroking his nonexistent beard. Although he had memories of the emperor, it seemed like he had no memories of Arshelly.

"Father…"

"Stay back."

But Kang Chul-In was still indifferent.

"Who's your father. I'm still unmarried."

Kang Chul-In had never married in this lifetime, nor in his previous lifetime. He was so engrossed in work that he had no thoughts of starting a family or having romance.

For someone like him to be called father by a girl that he had never seen before, there was no way he would be happy. After all, he seemed like he would become an unmarried mother, no, father!

Of course, Arshelly herself was extremely pretty and lovely.

She was pretty enough that the small girls that came up on the media for being pretty were like squids compared to her,

It seemed like she had a sort of beauty that didn't exist in this world.

And not only that, Arshelly was extremely polite and sensible. One could tell this from the fact that she forced herself to stop crying in front of her father.

Although he had never seen her, it made one think that they wanted to become the father of Arshelly.

"Then later…"

"No."

But Kang Chul-In still remained cold and turned the other ear on her.

"Explain."

And he pointed at the children who were still having fun riding rides even though their Lord had come in person.

"Is this your doing?"

"That… I was so lonely… and bored… I-I wanted company… I was going to send

them away after today…"

Arshelly looked downcast.

"I am truly sorry, father."

And she asked Kang Chul-In for forgiveness.

"I won't do it again."

Yes, the true owner of this dungeon was not an evil marioneteer, but a 9 year old girl that had been stuck inside this place for a thousand years.

There was no such thing like evil intent.

It was just a little girl that wanted to play with children that were of the same age as her.

'I can't even kill her.'

Although if it was anyone else he would have swung his sword, he strangely didn't feel like doing so towards Arshelly.

"Milord."

Lucia spoke.

"She seems like a good child. Why don't we take her with us?"

Lucia seemed like she was already in love with Arshelly, even though it had been less than 5 minutes since they met.

"Uhh… Kang Chul-In?"

And Dorian was the same on this.

"Can't we let her go this once? How can we kill a child like this" And only that, the children of your territory is also fine. Why don't you just take her… at least for my sake…"

And Kang Chul-In's response to this was…

"That is what I am planning to do. Not that I have any intention of taking her in as a daughter."

It made sense.

And at that moment the quest tab suddenly glowed, showing that it was completed.

[ Royal Palace Dungeon, Clear! ] [ Experience +3000! Level up, Level 37! ]

And due to the rewards for clearing the quest, the experience allowed him to level up.

[ Level up, Level 38! ] [ Level up, Level 39! ]

And he rose 2 extra levels after that.

[ You have gained 1 'ticket of territory enrichment'] [You have gained the Epic Item, 'The needle of the Empress']

And suddenly, a golden ring appeared on Kang Chul-In's fingers, but there were no special options attached on it. It seemed like a special item.

And…

[You have obtained Arshelly Berlineta Pon Aurangzeb as your child!]

And something in Kang Chul-In's [My information] list made Kang Chul-In's flow backwards.

- [My information]

Name: Kang Chul-In / Occupation: Lord / Class: Warrior

Lord Points: 390P / Ranking: HIdden (D-33 until unlocked)

Level: 39 / Specialty: Conquer (B ranked) / Tendency: Conquest Lord

Race: Human / Mandate: Locked (Unlocked when Overlord)

Spouse: – (Up to a maximum of 7)

(New!) Children: Arshelly Berlineta Pon Aurangzeb (Daughter)

(Notification!) You will lose a lot of your Lord points if you are not careful with raising your children.

(Notification!) If you pay attention in raising your child, your Lord points will rise by a small amount.

*A Lord's child can be both a weakness to a Lord, and also a n existence that is a lovely existence to the Lord. A smart Lord should also raise their child well.

"What kind of system is this…?"

Kang Chul-In was forced to become the father of Arshelly, and was astonished.

'All I hope for now is for son to marry and give me a lovely granddaughter…'

'I really want a grandson… Actually, maybe a granddaughter might be better. Although I've gotten a son once, I've never had a daughter before. Our son is finally a proper worker, you should get married soon, shouldn't you?'

'This is going to be tiring.'

Kang Chul-In wrapped his face around with his arms, tired.

"Father…"

Arshelly walked towards Kang Chul-In and hugged his thighs.

"I will be a good daughter. Please treat me well, father. I love you."

And… that was how Kang Chul-In got a daughter.

To get out of the place, the rescue team, as well as the children who were now back to normal used a secret passage to get back to the territory. The secret passage as connected by a magic circle inside the Talking Tree forest.

"Mi-milord!"

"OHH!!! Our Lord has defeated the evil marionetteer!"

"The children are alive!"

All of the people that were waiting for Kang Chul-In's return were cheering for him.

"Hip hip hooray for our Lord!"

"Hooray!"

"Come here, ride with me."

Riding on a white horse, Kang Chul-In held his hand out to Arshelly.

"Father…"

Arshelly's eyes started sparkling.

'I need to raise her well.'

Although she was not truly blood related to Kang Chul-In, what could he do if she was already listed as her daughter.

"Kang Chul-In!"

Dorian was the last one to exit the magic circle, and he shouted at Kang Chul-In.

Dorian was hugging a gigantic egg. There was a reason for him being the last between all of them, and it seemed like this was the reason.

"AH!"

Nilus was astonished.

"T-That is!"

"It seemed like he new something.:

"That is…"

But before Nilus was able to finish his words…

CRACK!

CRACKKK!!

The egg started splitting apart.

Chapter 78. An Unexpected Harvest

Editor: Arya

Translator: Leyy

"W-What?"

Staring at 'its' front legs, one of the people in the sidelines mumbled in a dazed manner.

'Front legs from the egg?'

Kang Chul-In himself was also very startled.

Since the egg was very large, Kang Chul-In thought that a dragon or a bird would come out, but that was not the case.

Instead, what came out was the large legs of a mammal. And it also had the claws attached that could easily rip through even steel.

"Y-Your majesty… that… that is…"

Nilus seemed like he knew what was inside the egg.

"That?"

Nilus seemed like he couldn't breathe, due to his astonishment.

And suddenly, the powerful legs of the beast managed to finally crack the egg, and made a huge visual impact to the people watching.

"T-This… can I truly keep something like this?"

Looking at the scene, Dorian regretted him asking for the egg. It seemed like he was unable to control something like the beast.

BAM!

The beast inside the egg finally broke its shell apart, and stood on the ground with its four feet.

The beast was incredible, and majestic. Even Kang Chul-In who was watching at the sides nodded his head, and had an appearance that anyone could admire.

"I-I found it, so… can I keep it?"

The beast was so majestic that even a pushover like Dorian wanted to keep it.

"If you want it, you can keep it."

Kang Chul-In nodded his head.

But it was not purely of kind intentions, but Kang Chul-In was ready to use Dorian in the future as he pleased.

"Kuu… as expected of my friend."

Dorian's lips parted in happiness, and appreciation.

"Hey there, buddy."

And as Kang Chul-In accepted, Dorian treated the beast as if treating a puppy.

"I'm your new owner… OW!"

And started bleeding.

ROAR!!

The beast bared its fangs at Dorian, completely ignoring what he had to say.

"W-What the hell?"

And Dorian seemed like he was about to cry, After all, his hands were almost bitten off by an animal.

"Kuku… as expected."

Nilus laughed it off.

"Uhh… why are you doing that to me? I'm telling you, I'm your new owner!"

Although Dorian tried to calm it down…

ROAR!

There was an indifferent response to him.

Yes.

Dorian had failed to make the beast recognize him as the owner of it. His 'imprinting' had failed.

But it made sense for him to fail.

Imprinting only worked against weaker species like birds, not fierce beasts like the one in front of him.

HMPH!

After snorting at Dorian one last time, the beast turned its head away from him, walking slowly towards where Kang Chul-In and Arshelly were, on the white horse.

'Oh?'

Kang Chul-In's eyes gleamed.

"Kuku, as expected of an Altaica! It truly is an intelligent one, recognizing his majesty in just a glance."

Like Nilus had said, the Altaica was a symbol, as well as a godbeast that originated from the Ancient Kingdom. Even though it was just born, it had the size of a fully grown hound.

Meow~~!

But in front of Kang Chul-In, it made noises like a cat, trying to appeal to him.

'Look at this thing.'

And Kang Chul-In was speechless at the Altaica's behavior.

Golden eyes that shone brighter than those of a dragon, fur that was closer to pure silver than white, intimidating black stripes on its back, sharp, glistening teeth and claws, as well as a third eye on its forehead.

A beast like this that had a visual that could scare away most monsters was trying to appeal itself to Kang Chul-In, even turning over and showing its belly to him made him speechless.

And it was turning its body in a cute (?) manner, looking at Kang Chul-In with its eyes. It was a clear sign of it obeying him.

"Father."

Arshelly spoke.

"It seems like the baby Altaica wants to serve you as its owner."

"Yeah, seems like there's no other choice." Said Kang Chul-In.

Although he was planning on giving it up for Dorian, there was nothing he could do but accept it since the Altaica was like this.

"Dorian."

Kang Chul-In spoke.

"It seems like I have no choice."

And Dorian spoke back, depressed.

"… Your right… It seems like me and it are not destined to be together."

Dorian sounded depressed, and it made sense. For Dorian, who

was in love with the animals in Pangaea to almost lose his hand and be humiliated by a newborn baby was very depressing to him.

"Can you ride a horse?"

Kang Chul-In spoke to Arshelly.

"Yes, father." She answered.

"Then hold the reins." He spoke, before getting off the horse, and walking towards the Altaica.

MEOW!!

As he got closer, it started to appeal itself even more to Kang Chul-In. It had a completely different attitude to when it was facing Dorian earlier.

MEOW!!

And when Kang Chul-In stroked its fur, the Altaica moved, as if it was satisfied. It seemed like nothing more than a cat in front of Kang Chul-In, and was astonishing from an onlookers perspective.

And this was how Kang Chul-In became the owner of the godbeast Altaica.

And when Kang Chul-In got back to the territory, he was met with the best reception as well as treatment he could.

It was due to the fact that he had saved the children, and came back with all of them alive.

Of course, it was a misunderstanding, but if he revealed what had actually happened, it might affect how people viewed Arshelly, so he didn't do that.

"Timothy."

"Yes, milord."

The goblin Timothy was instead named as Secretary while Lucia was injured, and helped Kang Chul-In with his duties.

"Tell the civilians that Arshelly is the princess now, and that they will continue working to gather the Talking Tree sap. They need to gather up for the two days that they have missed. And… Michael."

"Yes, milord."

"Take this."

Kang Chul-In handed his bracelet, the epic item, Owner of the Ghosts to Michael.

"T-This is…?"

"It is an item that allows one to control 50 spectre knights. I will lend it to you for a while, so use it to guard the perimeter while the work is going on."

"Spectre Knight!!"

Michael was frightened and startled, almost falling down due to his astonishment.

And it was understandable, as Spectre Knights were more powerful than even Death Knights.

It was very surprising to Michael that he was able to control 50 spectre knights.

"But if you fail, then you will be severely punished this time round. Understood?"

"Yes, milord."

"Good. Dismissed."

After Michael left and all of Kang Chul-In's 'work' was done, he could have a rest.

'It was a blessing in disguise.'

Kang Chul-In thought, as he looked through a list of what he had gained during this expedition.

- 3 Levels up, 1 Ticket of Territory Enrichment

- Epic Item, Kaiforce

- Epic Item, Owner of the Ghosts

- Epic Item, Needle of the Empress

- Godbeast Altaica

- +60 Lord points due to the civilians worship

And finally…

"Father!"

He had also gotten a daughter, Arshelly.

"What is it?"

At the unexpected words, Kang Chul-In's face stiffened.

"I thought you would be tired, so I made you so honeywater!"

His pretty daughter smiled dazzlingly towards Kang Chul-In.

'It had said it was impossible to dislike her in her description.'

As expected, Arshelly, with one of her occupations being a 'kind daughter', she had brought Kang Chul-In hand-made honeywater, even being a princess.

"Thank you… but I dislike sweet things."

But Kang Chul-In absolutely loathed eating sweet things.

"Daughter also knows your taste preferences, and instead used Maltbee honey in this honeywater, and it is not sweet at all."

Arshelly's eyes started sparkling, as if she was waiting for Kang Chul-In to compliment her.

'As expected of a kind daughter, should I say?'

Thinking like this, Kang Chul-In drank the honeywater that Arshelly had made in one go. He felt it going down his throat cleanly, and was quite satisfied with its bitter taste.

And staring at him was Arshelly, her gaze full of love.

The next day.

Kang Chul-In went to the small (?) poultry farm placed behind where the Lord lived.

"Ohh, my Lord."

It was Adrian, the father of Lana Lovely. Maybe it was due to the stress of his daughter being lost, but Adrian had lost a great deal of hair since the last time they had met.

"Get one of them."

"Huh?"

"Take the smallest, and skinniest one there." Kang Chul-In pointed at the massive cage.

And inside were 7 child Peacock Dragons.

Yes.

Since the last time when they had succeeded in killing the Peacock Dragon, Kang Chul-In was able to take out the eggs out of the female's belly, and were now growing them as livestock.

The reason… they were planning on growing them like chicken, and using them for meat. Although it was doubtful if they could earn the Dragon Heart, with these Peacock Dragons being domesticated (?).

"Already? After all, these things are still children and need at least 20 years to mature fully…"

"I need meat."

It was due to Old man Kwon's request.

Old man Kwon continued to believe in Kang Chul-In. And for someone like him, taking out one of the seven child Peacock Dragons was not a big deal.

"Oh, if you're looking for meat, there's still some leftover at the storage room."

"There's some left?"

"Yes, there was still quite some left after we had handed it around the city, so we made some of it into sausages and have some meat left too."

It was good news.

"That's good then. Tell Secretary Timothy and hand me over 10kg of the meat there."

"Yes, milord."

Kang Chul-In smiled satisfiedly, as he didn't need to unnecessarily kill the Peacock Dragons, which were very rare.

"Are you raising them well?"

"Well, they're not very obedient. And not only that, they're already growing so big that I think we need to expand the cages. And since they are subspecies of dragons, we need at least 5 men in order to stop them if they're on a rampage."

It seemed like they were hard to control, as prideful beasts.

"Well, if you think they're too disobedient, just go and beat them up."

Kang Chul-In ordered.

"Of course, not so bad for them to die."

'Well, the processing of the sap is being continued, and Old man Kwon's request is also completed. It's time to head back to earth and finish of the business."

After this was over the Galaxy Corporation would definitely prosper even more, and after this, Kang Chul-In was ready to take over all of what was on the Eastern side of Pangaea. It was time to show his true power as the 'Conquest Lord'.

"Well, good luck."

"Thank you, sire!"

And saying that, Kang Chul-In was going to head back. Before he heard Adrian's mumbling, that was.

"Hmm… c'mon, hair, grow…. Grow…"

Listening to this peculiar 'chant', Kang Chul-In turned his head around.

'Wait a minute…'

Kang Chul-In's face stiffened, looking at Adrian's weird behavior.

And this weird behavior of Adrian… was something that would make Kang Chul-In into the richest man in the world in the future.

Chapter 79. Finding a 'super item'.

Editor: Arya

Translator: Leyy

'Dear lord'.

Looking at Adrian's behavior, Kang Chul-In was absolutely startled.

The reason was simple.

In Adrian's hands was a plant that looked peculiar in shape, almost like seaweed. And using this plant, Adrian was rubbing his bald head crazily.

"Adrian."

"C'mon… grow… Huh?"

Unaware of the fact that Kang Chul-In hadn't left, Adrian was startled.

"Oh milord, you still haven't left?"

"That thing in your hands."

"What is it, and why are you rubbing your head with it."

"This? Well, it's nothing special."

"Nothing special?"

"Well, this is weed called the 'hair growth weed', and it is actually very beneficial for people with hair loss…"

"Is that so? Well, does your hair grow if you rub your head with it?"

"Yes, sire."

"Hmm… show me the effects, try it on yourself."

"Eh? Milord… to show my pitiful self…"

"It's fine, go on."

"T-Then…"

"Just start."

Although it was a little bit embarrassing for him, Adrian bowed his head 90 degrees towards Kang Chul-In, show his bald scalp.

'This is it!'

Staring at the unexpected commodity, no, super item that he had just found, the tip of Kang Chul-In's mouth wriggled, struggling not to smile. After all, he still had to maintain the dignity of being a Lord.

"M-Milord? Do I keep…"

"Yes, just for a little bit longer, let me see."

Answering like this, Kang Chul-In looked cautiously and meticulously at Adrian's hair. And looking at it, his expectations weren't let down.

'It's growing!'

Although it wasn't immediate, the hair was growing, at rates approximately around 0.05cm per minute.

'To think that the main source of income for those damned Gulveig bastards was just a stupid type of plant. Unbelievable.'

"Adrian."

"Yes?"

"This weed, where did you find it?"

"There is a cave in the Dragonia Mountain Range, and in that cave, there are a lot of these plants."

"Where is that? Take me there immediately."

"Yes, milord."

Although Adrian had no idea why Kang Chul-In wanted to go there, he did as he was ordered.

Heading to the Dragonia Mountains, Kang Chul-In's thoughts were quite complicated.

These grotesque looking weeds were the geese that laid the golden eggs, and they were the reason behind the revolution to start a new era.

Of course, depending on the person this might seem quite absurd, but truthfully, it wasn't so.

Although there was medicine to try and stop the process from occurring, there was no true 'medicine' to stop it, and actually grow one's hair back.

For example…

France's soccer star 'Zinedine Zidane' and the basketball superstar 'Michael Jordan', Hollywood's 'Bruce Willis' etc. Even people like this who had worldwide fame and money could not escape the fate of being bald.

Was this on purpose?

Did they not care about their hair?

…As if.

If a medicine to cure hair loss was truly invented, it would allow someone to not just earn a bunch of money, but even swim in a massive ocean full of money.

Weapons to blow up whole buildings?

Items that could summon the dead?

…These things were not needed on Earth.

What was needed on earth were items that could change a person's lifestyle and how they lived.

This would be the greatest invention since the smartphone had first been introduced.

"Adrian. How exactly did you find out about the existence of this grass?"

Maybe it was due to 'superior' genetics, but it was difficult to find someone that was bald in Pangaea.

And if they were bald, they didn't treat it as something to be embarrassed about, and instead embraced it. And for this very reason, it was very rare that a Pangaean would know about this weed.

"Well, ever since I got bald, there wasn't anyone even teasing me about it, but I wondered if I would live the rest of the days out as a bald person.

And one day, when I went to the caves to take some herbs, I coincidentally found them. And that cave is the very one where I am taking milord currently."

'They say that the greatest discoveries are often unintentional.'

"We're here, milord."

After an hour or so, Kang Chul-In arrived at the cave that Adrian was talking about.

And growing there… were the weeds that would make Kang Chul-In truly rich.

But the sight truly wasn't very pleasing.

The weeds were like seaweed, and the sight of them wriggling about the cave wasn't a beautiful sight.

But did that really matter?

The important thing was that these almost disgusting looking plants were the 'medicine' that almost 14% of the entire world's population were in desperate need for.

Looking at these weeds, Kang Chul-In thought of the way to mass produce them. If the Gulveig Alliance of the past had achieved it, then so could he.

"Adrian. From henceforth, I shall promote you as the Laputa territory's Chief of Animal Handling, and I will also give you and your family ranks as noblemen."

"….!"

"Also, if you want, I can give you responsibility over this cave. Although that job will be very important, and tiring for you."

Adrian blinked his eyes like he didn't understand.

Of course.

It was difficult for a Pangaean to understand the importance of this cave to Kang Chul-In, and Earth.

To them, they were just fascinating weeds, and couldn't even dream of the possibility that this could allow someone to rake in millions and billions of dollars.

"I-Is that so?"

"A Lord does not lie to his subordinates."

"O-Of course. How could milord ever lie to someone like me?"

"Well, I'll give you time to decide. Tell me when you have made a decision. However, you must also realize the importance of this cave, and how much of a responsibility you will have as the one taking care of it."

Saying this, Kang Chul-In walked down the way that they had come, ready to go to Earth.

"Hey~ You've come!"

As soon as Kang Chul-In solved the problem with the Talking Tree sap, Kang Chul-In went to find Old man Kwon.

"Here, what you asked for."

Saying this, Kang Chul-In handed the meat of the Peacock Dragon to Old man Kwon.

"Ohhh, is this 'it'?"

"This is the sausages from the same Peacock Dragon that you ate last time. The effects will be the same."

"Truly, thank you!"

Staring at the package of meat that Kang Chul-In had given him, Old man Kwon rejoiced, like a little child would.

"And this."

Kang Chul-In handed a batch of 'hair growth weed' that was meticulously wrapped in wax paper to Old man Kwon.

"This is for the price of the lamborghini."

"A Sesto Elemento? You do know that those things cost over 3 million dollars, right? Are you saying whatever is in here is the equivalent of something like that?"

"Just take it out, and rub it on yourself."

Old man Kwon slowly opened the wax paper, as if he was treating a baby. And the sight of a peculiar looking plant greeted him.

"W-What even…"

"Just rub it on your head."

"Huh?"

"Bald hair… don't you think it's time to grow out of that?"

"No way…"

"Yes way. This is absolutely effective against hair loss, and is absolutely permanent. It doesn't fall back out, once it grows."

And Old man Kwon did as he was told.

"Hmm… well it doesn't feel great, and it feels like I have seaweed on my head."

"Endure it."

"It's not that I can't endure it… Just don't laugh, you guys."

And Old man Kwon took his anger out on his bodyguards.

"Hmm… but why does my scalp itch so much?"

"Take a look in the mirror."

And asking one of his many bodyguards, Old man Kwon got a hand mirror from one of them, with the bodyguards trying their best to suppress their laughter.

"Hmm… well, let's see…"

And making a pose and staring at himself in the mirror, he looked at his bald head. And…

CRACK!

He dropped the mirror on the floor.

"I-Is my hair actually growing? W-What in the world am I seeing…"

"Our aim is to start mass producing these weeds in 2 years."

Kang Chul-In said.

"I think I will be able to ship over maybe 100 batches a month. We'll first sell to the extremely rich, and gradually lower the price so that they could be mass produced."

"Hu… Huhuhu… To think that I would have black hair after 50 years of being bald… HAHAHA!"

It seemed that Old man Kwon had become bald when he was thirty.

"I'll look at least 10 years younger now! Ms. Eun-Mi will like it too! HAHAHA!"

"Thank you, thank you."

Old man Kwon grabbed Kang Chul-In's hands passionately.

"As expected of you! Supercar? Just name one. Actually, I'll even pay for you to move houses with your mother!"

And thanks to this, Kang Chul-In was able to obtain a house in the Seocho District, the 'golden part' of Seoul.

The second day.

South Korea was in an uproar.

Due to Kwak-Jung's plan, the giant academies of Korea were accused of being corrupted, and due to this, the education department of Korea was in total chaos.

-Famous english teacher at XX Academy, meeting with his 17 year old female student privately… the teacher's dirty private life.

-Giant Academies, hire over 10 power bloggers to try and diss and counteract against Lang Bro.

-Famous english teachers in a protest… trying their hardest to feed themselves.

-Lang Bro, all sold out on the 3rd wave of reservations! Is this a new age?

-How big will the Galaxy Corporation grow?

With many articles popping up about the rivals of 'Lang Bro', all of the discontentment slowly vanished, and was instead redirected to the academies instead.

And… one sentence appeared on the official website of the Galaxy Corporation.

- Conquering: hair loss! D-7 Coming Soon…

And this simple phrase… flipped over South Korea.

Chapter 80. Harvest, and preparation for war.

Editor: Arya

Translator: Leyy

There was once a male celebrity, that grew to extreme fame in the late 2000s, and later plummeted in terms of support and fame.

… This was because it was later revealed that he was actually bald.

A smile that could melt any woman's heart, snow white teeth, as well as high, angular cheekbones. Not even the face that seemed as if crafted by the gods could stop his fall.

Although it could be different with another actor, actor Kim Deuk-Chul was the most popular male actor in the 20s, and this lead to a huge backfiring in his image, due to him 'betraying' all of his female fans when they found out he wore a wig.

"Hello, everyone. How have you been?"

Kim Deuk-Chul, who had taken off his wig, didn't look amazing. It was even more so due to the fact that he hadn't even completely shaved his hair, due to the fact that he felt that all of his 'remaining' hair was a waste.

"The reason I… am here is… well, it is to apologize for everyone that had fallen for my stupid trick back when I was an actor, and was to embarassed to embrace the fact that I was, and am, bald. Also, I would first like to thank the Galaxy Corporation for giving such an opportunity, and would like to thank everyone related to this product. And I also thank everyone who is watching this right now."

And Kim Deuk-Chul bowed his head to the camera, bowing down 90 degrees.

"Well, first…"

An MC, that was very famous around Korea spoke to Kim Deuk-Chul.

"How have you been? It's been almost 10 years since you've last shown yourself in front of a camera."

A lot of discussion passed.

As expected of an experienced MC, he and Kim Deuk-Chul kept the viewers watching by the actor speaking about what he had been doing, and all of the worries that he had.

"Well, hasn't humanity been plagued by the disease called hair loss from ancient times? Mr. Deuk-Chul, I think you shouldn't be so embarrassed about it."

"Yes, that's right. Since ancient times, humanity has been plagued by hair loss, and even now, where modern medicine is extremely, extremely highly developed, there is still no complete way of conquering hair loss. However!"

Saying 'however!', the MC made all of the viewers focus.

"As the Galaxy Corporation has stated, what if. What if there truly was a way to conquer hair loss?'

The camera suddenly rotated, focusing on Kim Deuk-Chul's scalp. This live broadcast was in HD, allowing the viewers to see clearly what was going on.

"Right now, the Galaxy Corporation would like to ask you. What would YOU do if over 5cm of hair grows over the next 30 minutes?"

And as the MC spoke until there, all of the famous portals and search engines in Korea had the Galaxy Corporation in 1st place for the 'Hot Searches' list, followed by 'Hair Loss Medicine', 'Hair Loss', 'Kim Deuk-Chul' etc.

"Everybody."

"Right now, we will use the Galaxy Corporation's newest product, the Hair Brother, otherwise known as the 'Hair Bro', and test it on Mr. Deuk-Chul over here. I am also very curious to see what will happen."

And as the MC said that, the full HD cameras got closer to Kim Deuk-Chul's head, and a staff of the Galaxy Corporation sent here started rubbing 'black cream' on the top of Kim Deuk-Chul's head.

Gulp!

The sound of the people on site swallowing anxiously was heard, and was sent on the live broadcast.

"According to the Galaxy Corporation, the time it takes for new hair to grow after putting on the 'Hair Bro' is about…"

At that moment.

"E-Everyone!"

On Kim Deuk-Chul's head, new, black hair started growing.

"Viewers, everyone,

do you see this? New hair is growing on Mr. Deuk-Chul's head!"

Allowing with the enthusiastic and passionate MC…

"Sob…sob…"

Kim Deuk-Chul sobbed, and cried to his heart's content. The stress that he had gotten from the fact that he was bald was recalled by him, causing his emotions to stir up.

"Thank you… Thank you so much, Galaxy Corporation…"

And as Kim Deuk-Chul said that, new captions on the bottom of the Live Broadcast could be seen.

Along with Kwak-jung, who had successfully hyped up the production of the two products of the 'brother' series, Kang Chul-In returned to the Laputa territory.

He could not wait to start conquering anymore. He had to unify the eastern plains as soon as the harvest was finished.

"Mr. Chul-In!"

Surprisingly, the person who greeted Kang Chul-In first in his territory was Lee Chae-Rin. It seemed that she had brought the gold, as well as the Recall stones with her.

"What about your territory?"

"Well, after my secretary died, I got a new one, namely being the secretary of that crazy woman before (the berserker). Her name is Eva."

"Well, how is your mother?"

"She moved to Seocho."

"Oh, does she still own a fruit store there?"

"A small cafe. And I also set up a flower shop next to it there as well."

"You're such a good son, Mr. Chul-In."

"You could do the same, can't you?"

"I don't have any parents."

"….?"

"They both died, back when I was in my third year of University."

"Well, it's okay. If I'm feeling lonely I can come to visit your territory like this, and also meet your mother!"

And as Kang Chul-In was about to open his mouth because the subject was becoming dangerous…

"Father~"

Arshelly, who was walking with the godbeast Altaica by her side, came and hugged Kang Chul-In cutely.

'Oh dear.'

Kang Chul-In was startled, as he was suddenly hugged by Arshelly.

"F-Father?"

Due to Arshelly's sudden appearance, Lee Chae-rin's face turned pale.

'No way… is Mr. Chul-In actually married?'

Lee Chae-Rin continued to stare at Arshelly.

She hoped that she wasn't actually his daughter, and that she had mistaken him for somebody else.

But…

'They look… similar.'

The problem was that no matter how you looked at it, Kang Chul-In and Arshelly looked similar.

"I… I'll go check on something else!"

Saying this, Lee Chae-Rin, who looked shocked, scurried away.

'She seems to think that I'm married.'

'Mr. Chul-In…'

As if she was running away, Lee Chae-Rin hurried away from the Lord's hall. She needed some private space to sort out her thoughts.

"To think that you even had a daughter… Ack!"

Suddenly screaming, Lee Chae-Rin fell to the floor on her butt.

"Oww… What did I even bump into…"

"Sorry, are you okay?"

And someone held their hand out to the fallen Lee Chae-Rin.

"I-I'm okay…"

"No, no. You nearly got injured because of me. But… I haven't seen you around here before?"

"Oh… yes, I'm actually the Lord of the Dorado Territory."

"…What?"

Suddenly, the woman, Lucia's voice turned frosty.

"Oh, so you're that woman with a lot of money?"

"Do you know me?"

"Of course, who wouldn't? Anyway, I'm Lucia, the secretary of the territory."

And in the air was an invisible pressure, formed by the two women staring each other down.

Economic Power Vs Military Power.

This was the first meeting of the two women that would have the greatest rivalry throughout the whole of Pangaea.

As Kang Chul-In had enough economic power and stability, he decided to increase the population.

- Sky Fortress Laputa

- Lord: Kang Chul-In

- Level: 9 (Can grow until level 30)

- State: Idle

- Price: Costs for 1712 gold per every 30 days (changes depend of State)

- Security: Very good / Finances: Average: / Food: Severely lacking (Before harvest)

- Loyalty: 99/100

- Happiness: 80/80

- Durability: 1000/1000

- Military: 300/300

- Facilities: 27 (not including bedding)

- Population: 1286 humans / 47 Dwarves / 93 Ants

- Population Limit (human): 1500 (varies with level of the territory and Lord)

- Population outside the city: 15 (adventurers)

'1500, huh…'

Although it was easy to increase the populace, Kang Chul-In didn't do so immediately.

It only costs about 5 gold to summon a person. And even to summon the max limit of people, it would only cost 7500 gold.

But the difficulty lies in the fact that you had to pay them constantly, every month. Bedding, food, salary, etc. It was difficult to handle if the increase in population backfired against them. It would cause their economy, which had just turned for the better to struggle again.

"I will just discuss with Timothy."

And while Kang Chul-In was looking for Timothy, Kwak-Jung appeared.

"Milord."

"Oh, you've come?"

"I have something to speak to you about."

"What is it?"

"I have something to speak to you about…"

"Well, go on then."

"Hmm… I've been thinking for the past few days, and…"

"As a result?"

"I-I believe that…"

"Do not hesitate, and speak. I will make the final decision after listening to your decision. I will not ignore or shame you even if I disagree with you."

"W-Well…"

And after hesitating for a little bit, Kwak Jung's eyes gleamed.

"Milord."

"We need to start war right now."

And it was faster than even Kang Chul-In was anticipating.

Chapter 81. One step faster

Editor: Arya

Translator: Leyy

'Starting a war right now…'

"Why do you think that?"

"We won't make it pass the winter'

"Milord, the scale of our farmland is small. Even if we do harvest by this winter it would be very bad for us. Sir Timothy and I have concluded that more than 1,200 people will live up to late winter, and when winter comes, the other 300 will die from hunger."

This was something that Kang Chul-in had already known.

At present the Laputa territory had received 756 people(256 men/500 women) from the Tempaman Territory, and the population increased by more than half. This was why it was impossible to go through winter with their crop yields. So Kang Chul-in wasn't trying to raise an army right after harvest.

"Must it be right now?"

"Yes, it is best to do it today"

"The reason is?"

"The problem of food shortages is the same now and after harvest. So why not plunder the farmland of the enemy early and procure the scarce food quickly?"

What Kwak-jung was suggesting was an extreme way.

Invading the enemy-> plundering food -> feeding the army with the plundered food -> moving the remaining food to the territory. This was an easy concept.

…but it was easier said than done.

This strategy was simple, but also very difficult to pull off.

"So, do you have any plans?"

Kang Chul-In did not ignore Kwak-jung's opinion. He knew that there was a reason for Kwak-Jung to suggest this sort of method.

"Of course, milord."

Kwak-Jung smiled coldly.

"And what is it?"

"The Laputa territory will use you, milord, to win in this war."

Although some Lords might feel uncomfortable if their subordinate said that they would use them to win, Kang Chul-In instead had a satisfied smile on his face.

'It seems like he has worked out how Pangaea works.'

"Use me?"

"Yes."

"Explain?"

"Huh?"

"I want to know why you decided to use your brain, and decided that I was the best way to win the war."

"W-Well…"

Kwak Jung seemed to be ashamed of himself, and tried to avoid explaining it to Kang Chul-In himself.

"Well, speak. Or do you want to get some mental edu…"

Kang Chul-in tried to refer to "mental education".

"Oh no, milord!"

Kwak-jung was surprised.

"Hmm, okay … I'll tell you."

Kwak Jung's face was red.

"This is neither the middle, nor the modern ages of Earth. Here, you will only lose blood if you try using the tactics normally used back there."

"And the reason for that is?"

"Because of people like you, milord."

Kwak Jung pinpointed the point.

"A strong monarch, a strong adventurer, is like a strategic weapon. What can a flock of poor lambs do if you unleash a lion upon them?"

Indeed, Kang Chul-in was right. Kwak-Jung had understood how Pangaea worked within a few days.

"You are right."

Kang Chul-In nodded his head.

"So, how do you plan to use me?"

"Foremost is Lucia, Lieutenant James, Captain Michael, Chief Sorcerer Nilus. These 4 will be the ones that go up and beat them up…not. I mean—-"

"General."

"… Yes, four generals take charge."

Kwak-Jung blushed, due to the fact that he had subconsciously reverted back to his 'old way' of speaking.

"Anyway, this is the battle for the forefront of the battle, and — you can take charge of the supply forces."

Kwak Jung said that the Kang Chul-In should direct the supply forces, which would be the major targets of the enemy. I told them to hang their guns.

"Do you want to be the target of the enemy?"

Kang jung-smiled and said.

"Yes."

Kwak Jung-il replied coldly.

"Ho … to take over the command of the supply troops most enemies to the monarch alone. I'm going to die."

Kang Chul-in said playfully.

"Oh, no!"

Kwak Jung hit his hands in amazement.

"… We need a supply unit that won't fall… Solid enough to handle a long supply line. Isn't your majesty the strongest man in the whole of the territory? Well, it isn't an overstatement to say that the whole plan is dependant on you, milord."

"Are you sure? "

"Yes, your majesty. For your enemy, majesty is the most delicious rice cake and also the best trap. Your majesty will crush every single enemy, no matter how many enemies come…"

Basically, Kang Chul-In would support and defend the supply unit, and attract the enemy forces.

It was a bait.

Since he was the strongest member of the army, Kang Chul-In would be the one that

would take the brunt of the enemy forces.

"It doesn't really matter whether we win or lose the war, as long as we manage to take some food from them."

"Is it profitable to just plunder food?"

"The purpose of this war is food procurement. Even if we don't occupy the plains, if we have food for the winter, wouldn't it be difficult for the winter of the enemy? And wouldn't we have a favorable war against the hungry enemies in the winter when spring comes? "

Kwak-Jung's words were correct.

It was a bit of a mess, but it was also the most efficient way.

All except for one fatal flaw.

"What if I fall?"

Kang jung-il thought of that question.

"Then… we're screwed!" Kwak Jung replied.

"You still have to do it, you have to do it."

And he cheered Kang Chul-In up.

"Our estate is poorer than other estates. We really do need the food to get back into business, and start pulling ahead of the other territories. Although we do have the rich Dorado territory as our allies, they just restarted their territory, and still need time to stabilize themselves. If we ask from them, I'm afraid that it would be too much of a burden." Kwak-Jung said.

And although the word poor made Kang Chul-In's veins throb, it was also true.

"And not only that, milord also has the epic item in order to summon 50 spectre knights."

"If it is milord with 50 spectre knights, I'm sure that no squad in Pangaea would be able to stand up against it right now."

"Fine."

Kang Chul-In nodded his head.

"Although I would say it is only a 40 point answer, it's okay."

He only gave it the measly 40 points because the strategy was heavily reliant on him.

It was a good strategy for someone that had been a gangster just a couple of days ago. And not only this, Kang Chul-In, as a Lord who liked to go into the battlefield himself, was willing to take the risk.

'Not bad, considering it is his first time'. Was Kang Chul-In's conclusion with the strategy.

"Well, we'll go like this. We will increase the population size, and the ones that join us will stay at…"

"The burrow lands are currently empty, milord."

"Oh, right. We can use that guy's land."

Kang Chul-In nodded his head, as if he understood.

"Oh by the way, where is that guy? I heard from Podolski that he ran away, before being caught again and being thrown inside the prison."

"Oh, you haven't heard? Kimura is currently helping the Ants in the construction."

"Oh, is that so? Well, I'll have to see his face sometime soon."

Kang Chul-In added 1500 people to his populace, along with 3 magic cannons, as well as 6 musketeers to help in shooting them.

And he also added 4 Battle Ogres, and 8 Troll Shieldmen.

And after increasing the size of his population, he created an army.

1000 humans, 4 Battle Ogres, 8 Troll Shieldmen, 3 Magic Cannons, and 6 musketeers. Along with… Billy Halford, and the 30 other adventurers.

Although it wasn't a truly big army, this was still the full size of it, due to the fact that they had basically took all the fit men in Laputa.

'If we win in this war, we'll have some breathing room, and we'll also have some time to create and build an even greater army.'

Just like Kwak-Jung had said, Kang Chul-In was aware of the fact that the fate of the Laputa territory, as well as his future was dependant on the upcoming war.

Although he could buy people, items, and weapons with gold, he couldn't buy food with gold.

And thanks to this, taking other people's territories was something that was absolutely important and vital to all the fights in Pangaea.

Three days later.

While putting his army on hold and using cosmic force, he scouted the nearby area. As a result, he could see that there was another territory around 50km eastward of Laputa, with a farm there. It was decided. This would be the first target.

"Podolski, are you proficient with a bow?"

Along with the White Lion Knights, he would bring Podolski with him, to go scout their enemy territory.

"Well, although I'm no Hou Yi (godly archer in chinese mythology), I have to say I am pretty decent in using one."

It seemed that Podolski was capable with all types of weapons, being the 'perfect' human that he was.

"Well, follow me."

"Yes, milord. But… a bow? Are we going to go hunting?"

"I'm planning to shoot some Scouting Hawks down if I see them.

"Oh…"

Scouting Hawks were quite annoying, due to the fact that they could not be touched by any close combat style weapons. That was why despite the fact that Kang Chul-In himself also knew how to use a bow, he had brought someone else that could also use mana with the bow efficiently.

"Yes sir. I will follow you."

Sometimes, there were battles that started coincidentally, and without any plan.

That was the same with Kang Chul-In's battle right now.

While going scouting in enemy territory along with his White Lion Knights, Kang Chul-In met the opposing territory's scouts due to pure coincidence, the reason being that the time that they had gone to scout overlapped.

"Who is it! State who you are immediately!"

The enemy's captain shouted boldly, along with his 200 or so soldiers standing next to them.

"I am the Lord of the Laputa territory, Kang Chul-In."

"The Laputa Territory? Laputa… isn't that the territory located within the westernmost area of this region? What is someone near the western borders doing here in OUR territory?"

"Scouting."

Kang Chul-In answered boldly.

"Scouting?"

The captain snorted as if his reply was ridiculous.

"So a Lord has just brought a measly knight squadron along with him to come 'scout'? Deep into our territory nonetheless?"

"What, am I not allowed to?"

Kang Chul-In retorted.

"How dare you!!"

The enemy captain tried to snarl at them, but…

THWAK!

Blood splattered everywhere.

"C-C-Captain?!"

"CAPTAIN!!!"

Looking at their Captain's head that was separated from his body, the enemy forces were all petrified from fear.

Thump.

Roll….

And their captain's head just rolled on the floor, lifelessly.

'Sigh, what bad luck.'

Kang Chul-In's expression, who had just killed the enemy's captain wasn't great. He was planning on launching a sneak attack on the enemy after scouting the enemy territory, but since he had met the enemy on the way there, there was no way past this.

'Well, I guess we'll just have to…"

"KILL THEM ALL!" Kang Chul-In said, steeling his heart.

"How dare you do that to our Captain!"

Kang Chul-In stared at the enemy soldiers who were rushing in without consequence for their lives, enraged by the death of their Captain.

A battle of 32 against 200.

In terms of numbers, the enemy forces were far more superior.

"Kill them all."

Kang Chul-In once again ordered the White Lion Knights, as well as Podolski. And…

"Go."

He used the Epic Item: Owner of the Ghosts.

SWISH!!

Along with some black, ominous looking wind currents appearing out of nowhere…

50 Spectre Knights that were of Level 40 showed themselves.

Chapter 82. A dirty, underhanded tactic (1)

Editor: Arya

Translator: Leyy

The 200 enemy forces were instantly decimated.

"A-Amazing…"

And the reason was simple, while death knights were composed of death energy, Spectre Knights were also composed of holy energy.

They were without a match against people their level. Obviously, it would be impossible for normal soldiers to defeat them.

"Podolski. Go back to our territory, and bring the main army here."

"Huh? Then milord, what will…"

"I will stay here, and wreak havoc in their land. Just think of it as a distraction until the main army arrives."

"Maybe around five hours maximum, that will be the maximum time frame we have until the enemy finds out that their scouting squad has been killed. If we invade them and they are prepared, then we will be the ones at the losing end."

"B-But to conquer the farmlands…"

"I just need to distract them until our main army arrives. And then…"

As if he was embarrassed, Kang Chul-In froze for a second, before speaking again, his face stiff.

"We will harvest all of their crops, before running away."

"W-What a… terribly… dirty and underhanded tactic."

'To think that he would think of such a dirty tactic.'

Kang Chul-In truly had to praise Kwak Jung, who had come up with a tactic like this.

They just needed to distract the forces there before reaping the harvest, and running before the enemy's main army came to retaliate.

How frustrating and annoying would that be?

If an army just popped out of nowhere, before taking all of the crops that they had been harvesting for the entire year?

"… It seems like Soldier Kwak enjoys dirty tactics.

"Well, go back immediately so that the army can come here quickly."

"Yes, milord."

'3 hours… All I need to do now is to distract them for 3 hours.'

"White-Lion Knights, hear me. If you see any more scouts or soldiers around here, dispose of them immediately. Oh, and also, get rid of the corpses here."

"Yes, milord."

And as soon as they got the order, the knights formed groups of 2 or 3, before splitting up into the forest.

'Now, it's just up to me, and the spectre knights. Well, with these things by my side, it wouldn't be that difficult to distract them for 3 hours.'

Kang Chul-In's current level was 39, while the spectre knights were level 40.

And with Kang Chul-In, who was significantly stronger than people at his level, along with 50 spectre knights, it wouldn't be a stretch for them to fight the enemy forces and delay them for 3 hours.

"Where will you go, milord?"

Said one of the remaining knights.

"To the enemy's farmlands."

And saying this, Kang Chul-In walked out of the forest, and into the enemy's lands. He had left the spectre knights in the forest too, so as to not attract too much attention.

And while Kang Chul-In had gone to the enemy territory, soldiers at the Burrow Lands were in an emergency state.

"Move it, move it!'

"Quick, quick!"

"Go, go now!"

Due to the abrupt order to move out, the soldiers were in a hurry.

If they came a little bit late, they would definitely risk Kang Chul-In, and the other high ranking officials of Laputa tried their best to go as quickly as possible.

"C'mon, it's time for lunch now!"

Mr. Sullivan, who was the leader of the farmers in the Absilon Territory, came to the farm lands, pulling a wheelbarrow along with a few others.

"Ow… My back! Come on, everybody, let's eat!"

"Lunch!"

And all of the farmers there came near Mr. Sullivan, to grab their share of food.

And suddenly, they spotted a man with black hair lying down on a big boulder, looking relaxed.

This man was wearing black armor, and gave

everyone a sense of majesty.

"Hello, you there?"

Mr. Sullivan called out to that man with black hair.

There was no answer. It seemed like that man was asleep.

"Oh, that young'un?"

Clark, who was very close to Mr. Sullivan, spoke.

"It seems like he's an adventurer? I think he'll probably rest here for a little bit, before leaving."

"Hmm… is that so."

And Mr. Sullivan nodded, convinced of what Clark was saying.

There were many adventurers like this, and was not a rare sight.

To the Pangaeans, the dimension traveling adventurers were a common sight, and to them, they were like the wind, coming one day, before disappearing the next day.

And they were mostly pretty likable.

They took commissions and did missions for the territory and the Lord, sometimes saving the civilians of the territory. And sometimes, they were like storytellers, telling people of fascinating stories that were far away.

They were not people to be alarmed about.

Of course… there were some occasional cases where an adventurer would sometimes charm a woman, play with them, and take them away into their world, but looking at this young man's face, he didn't seem like the type to do that.

"Hey~~ young man. Your sleeping, but don't you think you need to eat too? I'd bet you're also hungry, considering that you probably go around traveling everywhere."

But the adventurer, or Kang Chul-In, didn't respond.

'Sometimes it's not too good if the people are too nice.'

'It's easy… But…'

Kang Chul-In felt a little bit regretful that the people of this territory were living so happily.

Normally, if people were living happily like this, the happiness was very high, and so was their loyalty to their Lord.

And if Kang Chul-In attacked territories like this, it would be easy to imagine that they would try their best to resist against him, and due to their loyalty, it would be difficult to convert them into his own civilians.

But suddenly… an unexpected word came out of one of the farmers.

"****! God damn that stupid sex maniac!"

Maybe he had drank too much beer for lunch, but this one man's face was beet red, and was cursing like a sailor.

"Hey, be careful!"

Mr. Sullivan poked the drunken man, and motioned towards him to caution.

"What if the soldiers hear us!

"This filthy mot***f*****! This 'Lord' of ours is doing nothing but taking women and acting like a fiend, how could I remain calm in situations like this?"

And a story that seemed quite interesting piqued Kang Chul-In's interest.

"Still, our Lord is using his privileges as a Lord, how can you say that?"

"Sigh~ You say that because you don't have a daughter, do you know how painful it is if your daughter is taken away by a sex fiend like him?"

And due to this one voice, the discussion became heated, with a lot of others attacking and cursing at the Lord.

And listening to this, Kang Chul-In could realize what was going on.

'What a crazy bastard.'

According to the system, you could have a maximum of 7 women as a Lord. It was like the fact that you could have 3 main wives, and 4 concubines like ancient China.

BANG!

It was at that moment.

A teenager that looked about 18 grabbed his pickaxe, before slamming it on the ground, with a terrifying and bloodcurdling expression.

"R-Rok…"

Even the drunken man couldn't speak in front of this teenager who had a terrifying aura around him.

'It seems like his fiance was taken from him.'

Kang Chul-In could tell why Rok had such a terrifying expression, and why he had been releasing such a terrible aura.

Was it not obvious.

A male and female who loved each other.

And a greedy, good for nothing Lord who took the woman from him.

It was such a cliche story.

…Although for the one that had his woman taken from him, every day was like hell.

But Kang Chul-In didn't sympathize with this young teenager called Rok.

He felt that someone that had been robbed of someone that they loved wasn't a true 'man'.

Even if he was not a Lord, Kang Chul-In would definitely have just grabbed some weapons, before heading immediately to kill the one that did such a thing to him.

'It seems like this isn't going to be very difficult then.'

Kang Chul-In changed his mind.

It was at that moment.

As Kang Chul-In was secretly rejoicing, from far away, around 300 soldiers that were on horseback came riding towards them.

'It seems that they have finally found out.'

Looking at the speed of these soldiers, it was quite quick. And as expected of Kang Chul-In's predictions, they had finally figured it out after around 4-5 hours.

NEIGH!

Along with the loud noises of the horse…

"You there!"

A man, who seemed to be the captain of the soldiers, pointed at Kang Chul-In, before speaking.

"You're going to come with us!"

He seemed that he was just going to take Kang Chul-In with him, as he wasn't recognized as one of the people that were part of the territory.

'3 hours, huh…'

And as he was thinking that, Kang Chul-In slowly rose from the boulder he was resting on.

"Follow obedientl…"

CHING!

And as the Soft Sword Kaiforce was taken out of it's hilt…

KACHING!

He swung the sword like a whip towards the leader of the soldiers.

"ARGH!"

And as he was struck, he had fallen off the horse, and screamed in pain. It seemed like he had lost some of his flesh due to the sword.

"From now on…"

And after knocking down the leader in the blink of an eye, Kang Chul-In boldly stated.

"This land is mine."

It was showtime.

And turning on Overdrive, he rushed headfirst into the enemy forces.

WHOOSH!

And wind, that was now formed of blood, started forming a tornado around him.

"AGH!"

And as one soldier fell…

"C-Catch that crazy…"

Kang Chul-In rode on the horse of the fallen soldier, and started to brutally slaughter the enemy forces.
