The Overlord of Blood and Iron

It was almost sad to watch Kaiforce’s struggles to get back to his sword form .

“Kuk… Ugh… Sob…”

Even while moaning in pain from the mana poured inside his brain by Kang Chul-In, Kaiforce continued to crawl towards his sword .

“Ugh… Kuk…”

Snot and tears falling down, Kaiforce tried his best to reach the sword .

Of course, Kang Chul-In didn’t just watch .

Tuk!

Kang Chul-In kicked the sword away slightly .

“ . . . !”

Looking at this, Kaiforce’s eyeballs seemed to bulge out from rage .

“Try a little harder . ”

“ . . . ”

“What’re you doing? If you want to live, you better continue crawling . ”

Kang Chul-In’s voice once again tickled Kaiforce’s eardrums .

“Kuk…”

Kaiforce gritted his teeth .

Even though he wanted to curse, the pain didn’t allow him to speak any proper words . The only thing that he could do was continue to crawl towards the sword .

“Ugh . . . ”

“So, how do you feel?”

“Sob… sob… Aghhhhh!!!”

At that moment, a terrifying scream erupted from Kaiforce .

“P-Please… just once…”

“Once? Once what?”

“Please save… agh!!”

“Hmm…”

“I-I’m sor… I-I… agh… will swear… my allegiance…”

“Oh?”

“Y-Yes… S-So… please…”

“Hmm…”

After thinking for a while,

“Is that so?”

“Yes!!”

“Really?”

“O-Of course!! A-Agh… P-Please…”

“Fine . ”

“R-Really?”

“I thought you were going to swear your allegiance . ”

“Y-Yes, sir!”

“Fine then, go get your sword . ”

“T-Thank you, sir!!”

After showing his thanks to Kang Chul-In, Kaiforce once again began to crawl towards the sword .

2 metres, 1 metre . . .

“H-Huk…”

Just as Kaiforce’s fingers were about to reach the sword, the sword went flying .

“ . . . !”

Kaiforce’s face stiffened .

“Ah, oops . ”

Kang Chul-In said mockingly .

“I accidentally moved my foot . ”

“ . . . ”

“Sorry . Try harder . ”

“Y-Yes…”

Even though Kang Chul-In was obviously teasing and mocking him, there was nothing Kaiforce could do .

He knew that if he got angry here, it would get even worse .

“A-As you wish…”

Kaiforce began to crawl once more .

Forget the pride of an ancient demon and whatnot, he would lick Kang Chul-In’s feet if he could live .

That was how terrifying the pain he was feeling was .

“Uu… . Please… Please…”

With a heart-wrenching scream, Kaiforce once again stretched his arm out towards his sword .

10 centimetres, that was how far he was from the sword . If he touched it, he would be able to escape from this terrible pain .

But… Kang Chul-In wasn’t finished just there .

Tuk .

“ . . . !”

Kaiforce had to once again experience the sword being kicked away from him, just as he was about to touch it .

But that was just the start .

Tuk,

Tuk tuk,

Tuk tuk tuk!

Kang Chul-In continued to mock and tease Kaiforce several times after that, and the ancient demon had no choice but to grit his teeth .

“Ah, so close . ”

The 11th time this had happened, Kang Chul-In spoke while laughing evilly .

“Try a little hard…”

“Y-You…”

“ . . . ?”

“You bastard!!!”

And finally, Kaiforce exploded, unable to remain calm anymore .

“You fucker!! You god-damned bastard!”

“Oh?”

“Kuk . . . ”

“You can still withstand the pain?”

“Y-You terrible person… you fucker… Kuhuk… Ugh…”

Even while crying and sobbing, Kaiforce continued to curse .

“To think you’d curse at me… I’m hurt . ”

“ . . . !”

“That was the last test…”

“ . . . !’

“W-Wait…!”

“As expected, what you said about swearing your allegiance to me was just a lie, wasn’t it?”

At Kang Chul-In’s shamelessness, Kaiforce almost wanted to bite his tongue and suicide .

To say that it was a test, after doing this 11 times . . .

He hadn’t ever met someone like this before .

“P-Please… forgive me… one more… opportunity . ”

“What, did you honestly think that I would be tricked by your words?”

At that moment, Kaiforce realized the truth .

Kang Chul-In had no intention of keeping him alive from the very beginning .

He was just planning on continuing to mock him in order to make him feel more pain .

“You… damned!!! Aghhh!!”

“It’s feels good hearing you scream . ”

“You… will regret this… when the great Agnaga wake up…”

“ . . . ?”

“Destruction… Huhu… Your land will fall… Your citizens will die… And the remaining survivors… will become slaves forever… Huhu…”

Kaiforce spoke .

Even though Kang Chul-In ignored everything he said .

“Kuk… Hahahahha!”

Kaiforce started to laugh maniacally .

“Sob… sob…”

And also began to cry soon after .

It’s finally the end .

Looking at this, Kang Chul-In smirked .

He knew what this meant; acting like this meant that the person’s mental state was about to completely collapse and that he was close to death .

Uuungg!!

As if proving Kang Chul-In’s thoughts correct, demonic qi started to dissipate around Kaiforce’s body and his body started to change from the shape of a demon to a human .

-Kuaaaa!

With a final scream, a black-purple current struggled, but disappeared soon after . This signified the riddance of Kaiforce’s ego, and his true death .

-It’s finished, master .

Mitra said .

-Kaiforce… the ancient demon is finally gone .

Is that so .

-Yes, master .

Then, that sword, is it trash now?

-Even though it still is a dangerous demonic sword, it won’t be able to take over the body of a human ever again . And even though Kaiforce has died, it won’t lose its powers since the evil energy is still there . It will become a good sword, albeit a hard one to handle .

That was good news .

Even though Mitra’s effects were amazing, Kaiforce was better in battles where he had to kill .

“M-Mr . Chul-In?”

At that moment, Lee Chae-rin’s voice could be heard .

“Ah?”

Kang Chul-In looked back .

“ . . . ?”

But… for some reason, Lee Chae-rin’s expression was quite strange .

Her face was stiff, making one think that she was afraid .

“What is it?”

“Well…”

“ . . . ?”

“Mr . Chul-In, you really…”

“Really?”

“Are a terrifying person . ”

“ . . . ”

“A human that tortures a demon… I thought Mr . Chul-In was the demon for a moment . ”

“ . . . Anyway, can you take the body of that soldier and help me out of the dungeon?’

Kang Chul-In said, pointing at the dead body of Pluto .

“After all, we still have to give his body to his parents . ”

“Huh? What do you…”

When Lee Chae-rin was speaking .

“Uhh? Huh?!”

Kang Chul-In suddenly fell into Lee Chae-rin’s arms . It wasn’t something he had planned, but rather something that had happened because he was out of strength .

“M-Mr . Chul-in!!”

Shocked, Lee Chae-rin called out to Kang Chul-In, but Kang Chul-In remained still, asleep due to the aftereffects of Overdrive .

--------

It was a week after that when Kang Chul-In’s eyes finally opened .

“ . . . ”

What greeted Kang Chul-In was 3 women .

His mother, Park Sun-Ja .

His daughter, Arshelly .

And Overlord Lee Chae-rin .

All 3 of them had fallen asleep, their heads on the bed .

“Oh, milord!”

Kwak-Jung said in surprise, realizing Kang Chul-In had woken up .

Shh .

Kang Chul-In shook his head .

Kang Chul-In slowly and cautiously got out of the bed .

Let’s go outside .

Gesturing with his chin, Kang Chul-In went outside, Kwak-Jung following close behind .

“Report . ”

“Yes, milord . ”

To think Kang Chul-In would ask about work right away . . . Kwak-Jung was almost sick of Kang Chul-In’s workaholic attitude but still reported what had happened .

“Well, everything is over . ”

“And the idiots?”

“They’re all resting in the room next to milord’s . ”

“Are they alright?”

“Yes . ”

“Then how about Pangaea?’

“I haven’t heard of anything special from Pangaea, but something has happened . ”

“What is it?”

“Kim Sung-hee has come back with some shocking information . ”

“Information?”

“Apparently Rothschild and Aleister have allied . ”

“Those damned bastards?”

“Yes, Rothschild used his brain well this time . So…”

Kwak-Jung began to explain the situation .
