The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 111






Chapter 111 . Reunion (2)


As Kaiforce spoke, Kang Chul-In was dragged into a world of nothingness, or more exactly, was about to get pulled into it .


“Shut up and get lost . ”


Kang Chul-In instead used his inhuman mentality and mental strength to reject the offer to go into that abyss .


-You want this strength, don’t you?


Kaiforce’s voice tickled Kang Chul-In’s ears .


-The strength to slaughter that disrespectful vampire .


‘I don’t need something like you, so get lost . ’


-Huu… showing unnecessary bravery even in the face of certain death? You don’t have a way to suppress that vampire’s healing factor . So, what are you going to do?


Kaiforce spoke, teasing Kang Chul-In .


-You’re not even using 10% of my full potential right now . Me, such a wonderful sword… and you can only use me to this extent? Every moment, I’m disappointed at the fact that someone like you is my master . What is this, if not casting pearls before swine?


What a waste .


‘These bastards…’


Even with Kang Chul-In’s mentality, he was about to burst after being belittled by not only Alfred, but also Kaiforce .


-Come on, now .


Kaiforce tried once again to persuade Kang Chul-In .


-10 minutes? No, even 5 minutes would be enough . Just let me borrow your body and I’ll destroy that vampire for you . Not a bad deal, eh?


‘ . . . F*** off . ’


-… You still have some pride left even in this state? Huhu… well, we’ll talk again when you’re almost dead because of that vampire over there . It’ll be much easier to take control of your body when you’re injur…


Kaiforce couldn\'t even finish its words .


Clang!


This was because without saying a word, Kang Chul-In dropped Kaiforce on the ground without care .


“Stupid and disrespectful piece of scrap metal . I’ll put you inside a furnace as soon as I get back from this fight . ”


Kang Chul-In roared ferociously .


This was an obvious choice for him .


The Soft-Sword Kaiforce was a sword with consciousness, a cursed Ego Sword .


Kang Chul-In knew that borrowing the strength of this sword to get over precarious situations would land him in a heap of trouble . The position of master and sword might be switched around, with Kang Chul-In being dragged around by Kaiforce instead .


For Kang Chul-In who had a strong sense of domination and didn’t like being dragged around, there was no way that this sort of temptation would be able to sway him .


I am the great Overlord, Kang Chul-In .


Calming himself down, Kang Chul-In walked closer to Alfred .


Kaiforce?


. . . Bullsh**!


In the past, Kang Chul-In was able to overcome his enemies without the help of an Ego Sword like Kaiforce . Using just Fragarch, he was able to make Pangaea tremble in horror just with the mention of his name . Kaiforce? He didn’t necessarily need something like that .



Brrr-!


Though Kaiforce that was thrown away vibrated in rage, Kang Chul-In didn’t even spare it a glance .


He was going to throw it into a furnace after the fight anyway .


“What are you muttering about?”


Alfred looked at Kang Chul-In with a terrifying smile .


“None of your business . ”


“Oh? So you don’t recognize your inferiority and your weakness until the end, puny human . ”


Kang Chul-In decided to ignore the piercing words of Alfred . Instead…


POW!


He punched Alfred’s face as hard as he could .


“Are you satisfied now?”


Alfred, who had recovered from his wounds instantly, taunted Kang Chul-In with a smile .


“I wonder, how do you taste?”


As soon as he said this…


Danger!


Though Kang Chul-In felt a strong suctioning force near his heart and tried to turn his body around, it was a tad too late .


A fistful of blood was taken out of Kang Chul-In’s body and was sucked into Alfred’s body . It was the ability that only powerful True Vampires had that allowed them to drain blood from afar, ‘Psychic Bloodsucking’ .


“Huuu… This doesn’t taste nice . For some reason, your blood feels familiar . The blood of a Lord . . . of a tyrant . ”


To Kang Chul-In, this felt very hypocritical . This young Alfred seemed to have the same arrogance and ambition inside of him that Kang Chul-In has, if not even more .


Overdrive phase two… would last for a maximum of 30 seconds .


Kang Chul-In tried his best to remain cool, and calculated his full strength .


1 second . Just 1 second is all I need . Just one blow .


And Kang Chul-In thought of a method .


Walking forward in large strides, Kang Chul-In started emitting a terrifying aura .


Pzzt, Pzzt!


Overdrive’s 2nd phase, drawn out to its fullest extent . He also had Vortex wrapped around his two fists, so it made sense that the mana around him would create a terrifying aura .


“You made yourself that much stronger in your current state?”


Alfred was startled .


“A final stand before you fall . Using up your life-force for that…”


POW!


Before Alfred could even finish his words, Kang Chul-In interrupted him by punching his face .


30 seconds .


Though it was a short period of time, to the two that were fighting, it seemed much longer .


“KAHH!!”


Alfred screamed in pain .


POW!


PAPOW!


Wrapped around with Vortex, Kang Chul-In’s fists hammered into Alfred’s body . He was overloading Alfred’s healing factor, punching and hitting Alfred too quickly for the healing factor to be able to catch up to the damage taken .


Of course, Alfred wasn’t just getting beaten up one-sidedly .


Shing!


The claws of Alfred managed to scratch Kang Chul-In’s abdomen, and…


Splurt!


Through the wound, blood spurted out . The claws of a true vampire were famed to be as dangerous and sharp as most swords, and this feat proved that .


It was a brutal slugfest .


It was a fight between the two of them where retreating meant certain death .


I can sense it . His healing factor is weakening!


During the fight, Kang Chul-In tried his best in order to slowly, but surely slow down Alfred’s healing factor .


It was obvious .


Although Alfred was a true vampire, the healing wouldn’t last forever . It was apparent that a bit of Alfred’s life-force was used in order to continue healing .


This stupid, lowly human . How long does he think he can go on like this for?


Alfred also had his own plan .


I’m sure he’ll run out of fuel soon . 1 minute? 2 minutes? When all of your strength is gone, I’ll rip you to shreds .


He was aiming for a counter once Kang Chul-In ran out of stamina .


These were the thoughts that flashed through Kang Chul-In and Alfred’s minds . After a few seconds, Kang Chul-In was falling into a state of grogginess due to the backlash .


“I’ll rip your heart out!”


Witnessing the rapid fall of strength in Kang Chul-In, Alfred laughed maniacally . He stretched his arm out to rip Kang Chul-In’s still-beating heart straight out from his chest .


But as soon as he moved to do so,


BANG!


With one last explosion, the space between Kang Chul-In and Alfred started to distort as Kang Chul-in hit Alfred’s abdominal section .


Plop .


Finally, after many blows, Alfred fell to his knees before Kang Chul-In .


“H-How… could a lowly human like you…”


Alfred looked down at his stomach in absolute shock . What he saw was an empty midsection .


“The core inside of me . . . the entirety of it! It’s broken…? How could it be… how…? How is this possible? How!”


Thankfully this time, there was no regeneration . The source of the healing factor had finally been destroyed .


“Hu . . . ”


Kang Chul-In sighed deeply .


He, too, wasn’t fine .


His body was in an absolute mess due to the overuse of mana . And… for the last exchange, the use of the 3rd phase of Overdrive had completely drained him .


That’s right .


At the last moment, Kang Chul-In had activated the 3rd phase of Overdrive combined with Vortex, to destroy the core of Alfred . Obviously Kang Chul-In was going to be in a terrible state . After all, he used a move that he shouldn’t have attempted until after Level 100 .


“K-Kang Chul-In!”


After witnessing everything, Dorian ran towards Kang Chul-In urgently .


“A-Are you alright?”


“I’m fine . ”


“You look like you’re going to die! Sit down!”


“I’m not finished with my job yet . ”


“Then, let me help you . ”


“No, not now . This is not the time . ”


Rather than accepting Dorian’s help, Kang Chul-In walked slowly towards the dying Alfred .


Alfred… you too, huh…


Kang Chul-In bit his lower lip in bitterness .


It was a pleasant surprise when he saw his old subordinates in the dungeon, but it soon turned into bitterness as he had to go through each of them, killing them .


But… now that was finally over . By giving rest to Alfred, this dungeon would finally be over .


As soon as he thought this,


[You have cleared the Epic dungeon, the forgotten territory, the ‘Raging Valhalla’!]


The notification that signified the end of the dungeon popped up in front of Kang Chul-In’s eye .


[The anger of the monsters have dissipated!]


[The rage of the monsters will now head toward the intruders . ]


[The monsters have returned to their original strength . ]


[The rage and hatred that once filled this dungeon has disappeared . ]


That wasn’t it .


Soon after, the rewards for clearing the dungeon came rushing down, like a flood bursting through a dam . Though he wasn’t able to get Lord points or experience from this, the other rewards more than made up for it .


[Reward 1: Epic Item ‘Memory transfer device’ (consumable)!]


[Reward 2: The ‘Valhalla territory’ will be given to the Lord Kang Chul-In . ]


[Reward 3: Mythical HP potion . ]


An epic item, the Valhalla territory, as well as an HP potion that he didn’t know of . Though the rewards weren\'t life-changing, it was still quite a reward that befitted the hardships he went through .


Pzzt, Pzzt!


Sparks flew up, and a golden crown, along with a flask containing a rainbow-colored liquid appeared in front of Kang Chul-In .


Although he wasn’t interested in the items due to the shock of losing Alfred, the options were shown in front of him anyway .


[Epic]: Memory Transfer Device (consumable)


Made from the Ancient Kingdom’s magic technology academy . The effects are not clear, due to it being only a prototype .


Durability: Consumable


Option: Can send one’s memories into another .


The item had quite a weird explanation .


[Epic]: Mythical HP potion


Contains 100ml .


Effect 1: Can restore 20% of lost life-force .


Effect 2: Can increase regeneration up to 200% for 5 minutes .


It seemed that the Mythical HP potion would be able to save a dying person .


Wait a minute…


Though it seemed a little sketchy since it was a prototype, Kang Chul-In imagined the possibility of what would happen if he gave his memories to Alfred, and saved him using the health potion .


It’s all or nothing .


His heart beating, Kang Chul-In picked up the items, and put the Device on his head .


[Will you activate the ‘Memory Transfer Device’?]


“I will . ”


[Now, a scan will occur for 1 minute . Please hold still . 0: 59… 0:58…]


1 minute passed .


[Scanning complete . Put the device onto the one who will get the memory transfer . ]


Kang Chul-In walked towards the dying Alfred, and put the machine on his head .


[The memories that have been scanned will now be transferred . It will take 1 minute . Please hold still . 0: 59… 0: 58…]


“W-W-What the hell do you think you’re doing t-to me?”


At this point, Alfred seemed like a middle-aged man, as he rapidly aged without his regeneration factors .


POW!


But rather than answering Alfred, Kang Chul-In punched him, and force fed him the HP potion .


The 1 minute that seemed like a year for Kang Chul-In, finally passed .


“ . . . Is it a failure?”


Looking at Alfred, Kang Chul-In bit his lips in bitterness .


It seemed as if not even the Mythical HP potion could stop Alfred’s aging, as Alfred had already gone past being middle-aged, and looked like an old man now . If this continued, Alfred would surely die .


But…


“M-Milord?”


Alfred changed his gaze, and looked towards Kang Chul-In, and spoke .


“M-Milord? Is that really you? I-Is it the Kang Chul-In that I know?”


Tears flowed down Alfred, the old Alfred’s face .


“M-Milord!”


Alfred started to cry his heart out .
