Chapter 289 : The Final Investment
“W-Why did you hit me!?”
Dorian shouted, as if he got an undeserved punishment .
“You asked for it . ”
“What did I do!?”
“What do you know about my sex life to spout such nonsense?”
“Why wouldn’t I know!?”
“ . . . !”
“Even if you do it once per week, that’s already three times! Then you won’t have any more virility left . . . ”
“I would . ”
“ . . . !”
“You don’t even know anything . . . ”
“D-Don’t lie!”
Dorian strongly denied Kang Chul-In’s statement .
“Then die!”
“ . . . ?”
“Excessive sex can bring serious implications for the body . . . ”
“That’s only you . ”
“E-Eek!?”
“I’m totally fine, so worry more about your own virility rather than mine . ”
Kang Chul-In reprimanded Dorian .
“You are still a bachelor . ”
“ . . . ”
“Noob . ”
Dorian had nothing to say . He pouted his mouth and ducked his head .
“Hmph . Ah, anyways, since I gave you that, we are finally even!”
“Sure . ”
“Then hurry up and drink it!”
“Here?”
Kang Chul-In was puzzled .
“Are you telling me to consume a dragon’s heart in the middle of battle . . . is that it?”
“Yep . ”
“ . . . ”
“Why not now…?”
“Why don’t you just hold a funeral for me instead?”
“Ah, is that the problem?”
Dorian scratched his head .
“It’s like telling everyone, ‘I’m here, so please drive a knife into my stomach,’ isn’t it?”
“ . . . ”
“Idiot . ”
Kang Chul-In stared at Dorian pitifully . That was the reality .
An ‘Energy Core,’ or a concentration of monsters’ mana, contained a tremendous amount of mana, thus it required caution during consumption .
As for a dragon’s heart?
Even Kang Chul-In required at least a week to absorb a dragon’s heart .
“A-ahem!”
Dorian faked his cough and pretended to know nothing about it .
“Stop spouting nonsense . Since you are here, just help me deal with the enemy . There’s a lot of them . ”
“O-Okay . . . ”
A swarm of soldiers were charging towards Kang Chul-In and Dorian . 300,000 . No matter how powerful a man was, he was bound to be overwhelmed by that number .
“Woah… but that’s quite a lot… hahaha . . . ”
Heh, acting weak, huh?
Kang Chul-In smirked inwardly as he looked at Dorian . There was no way that Dorian was afraid . This handsome English man might be an idiot, but he was no coward . In fact, he was a former member of the SAS who roamed around the battlefields of Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and more, fighting armed terrorist forces . How could a man as such fear his opponents?
Moreover,
He is stronger than before .
Kang Chul-In could clearly detect the changes that have occurred in Dorian .
Wriggle wriggle!
Just look at the concentration of mana in his heart! Dorian had absorbed 40% of the dragon’s heart previously . The effects were starting to become more apparent . He was ready to become a one-man army, just like Kang Chul-In in the past!
“Kang… Chul-In . . . ”
Brynhildr snarled .
“How dare you… how dare you say that in front of me…?”
“Hmm?”
“You dare to speak about your sex life in front of me?”
“Ah, did that make you uncomfortable?” Brrrr!
Kang Chul-In trembled . He certainly wasn’t afraid of Brynhildr . He didn’t find Brynhildr difficult to deal with either .
I wanna… kill him . . .
In fact, he found it difficult to suppress his murderous intent . Head, neck, left wrist, chest, et cetera . Brynhildr’s weak spots, which Kang Chul-In had failed to notice in the past, were tempting him to launch an attack .
Thanks to Oraclomind, he had access to incredibly heightened senses .
It depends on whether I follow my usual temper or not .
That damn fish . Sonic Ring – the last piece of the Trinity Impact – was the only saving grace that kept him sane . With two out of the three parts in his hands, Brynhildr was the cormorant who could make Kang Chul-In the true number one in Pangaea .
Sssssss!
Suddenly, Arondight, the light sword, began to emit a brilliant ray of light .
Finally .
Kang Chul-In knew what to expect .
Frozen Sword . It was Brynhildr’s specialty move, which concentrated cold Ki in the sword to slow the enemy’s movement speed . Kang Chul-In had a difficult time in the past against this skill .
“No more games . ”
However, things were different now .
Oooooonggg!
On Kang Chul-In’s right wrist, a heavy golden bracelet began to release a huge amount of energy .
[Activating Overpower!]
In essence, Kang Chul-In’s investment was a failure . Since he had revealed his true strength, there was no way Brynhildr could withstand his attacks .
[Muscle strength +300% increase! (600 seconds remaining)]
[Physical · Magical destructive power +20% increase! (600 seconds remaining)]
[All stats +10% increase! (600 seconds remaining)]
Kang Chul-In faced Brynhildr with energy overflowing from his body .
I will kill him .
Murderous intent! Kang Chul-In’s eyes gleamed, wanting to kill Brynhildr . This was why impatient people were bad at investing . Before the cormorant could fetch him a fish, he wanted to break its neck .
Ooong!
Kaiforce began to be infused with Kang Chul-In’s monstrous strength .
“ . . . !”
Brynhildr was shocked momentarily by Kang Chul-In’s incredible strength .
“T-this is!”
A vicious storm of mana . Brynhildr almost thought he was facing a tsunami .
“Just . ”
Kang Chul-In, who had already approached Brynhildr, snarled .
“Die . ”
With that,
Swishhhhh!
Kaiforce landed on Arondight with great might .
Banggggggg!
A huge explosion engulfed the area .
***
“You are . . . !”
Lee Ji-Tae could immediately identify the stranger . They were members of the same race . In other words, the stranger was an Agnaga .
“It was difficult looking for you . ”
The black silhouette spoke .
“You… looked for me?”
“It was a mistake to let Aleister take care of your resurrection . ”
“My… resurrection?”
“Well, Aleister certainly wouldn’t have known what I had given him . ”
Even Lee Ji-Tae, an Agnaga himself, couldn’t comprehend what the other Agnaga was talking about . To think about it… he didn’t know how he had been resurrected, or why he had become an Agnaga . He only had his suspicions that Aleister’s necromancy might have played a part .
“What are you trying to say…?”
“Questions for later . ”
“Later?”
“Isn’t getting out of here your number one priority?”
“ . . . !”
“You are important . I can’t let you die here . ”
“B-but . . . ”
Lee Ji-Tae tried to say something, but he was too surprised to continue his sentence .
It was because,
I-it stopped?
The pieces of the headquarters’ ceiling which were falling apart were ‘perfectly’ stopped in mid-air .
“Ah, are you referring to this?”
The black silhouette smirked .
“I paused time temporarily . ”
“T-time!? H-how is that possible!?”
“The Emperor of Blood and Iron – that damned man – had resurrected once, reincarnated once, and returned to the past once . This is nothing compared to that . ”
The plot kept thickening . Lee Ji-Tae could hardly understand anything the black silhouette was telling him .
