Chapter 288: Kang Chul-In vs Brynhildr Part 2 (2)

Where was the Sonic Ring!? This tenacious b.a.s.t.a.r.d . . .

Kang Chul-In had a perplexed expression on his face . When was Brynhildr going to deliver the Sonic Ring like a true cormorant?

No matter how hard he looked, Kang Chul-In couldn’t detect anything on Brynhildr’s finger .

“Oi, cormorant . ”

Kang Chul-In spoke in a displeased tone .

“When are you going to fetch me the fish?”

The fish here referred to the Sonic Ring .

“ . . . ”

“Work cormorant, work . ”

He coerced Brynhildr .

Kang Chul-In had to obtain the Sonic Ring before he could kill Brynhildr without hesitation .

“Stop spouting nonsense, Kang Chul-In . ”

Brynhildr replied coldly .

“Enough with your lame cormorant and fish story . ”

“Lame? You are only alive because of that fish . . . ”

Kang Chul-In was about to continue his speech when . . .

Swishhhh!

Arondight – the trusty sword of Brynhildr – was swung at Kang Chul-In at a terrifying speed, with a piercing screech .

It’s fast!

Kang Chul-In, startled at its incredible speed, instantly bent his body backwards .

Flick!

Two strands of his hair drifted on the air .

“ . . . !”

Brynhildr was fast . That was a fair statement, as he had managed to slice even Kang Chul-In’s hair .

“Let’s see how long you can ramble on about the cormorant nonsense . ”

Brynhildr snarled in a low and deep voice beneath his helmet . He had clearly indicated his wish for revenge for the previous defeat!

“Seems like you’ve powered up since the last encounter?”

Kang Chul-In smirked . He only had two strands of hair sliced, but that proved that Brynhildr’s speed was sufficient to pose danger to his life .

“How about you?”

Brynhildr replied .

“You don’t seem as strong as before, am I right?”

Spot-on . During their previous encounter, Kang Chul-In was fully powered-up with the [Full Moon] ability which made him much stronger .

“A real man becomes stronger at night . ”

Kang Chul-In snickered and replied . He was trying to crack a s.e.xual joke .

“Trash . ”

With that,

Pang!

He dashed at Kang Chul-In with a sonic boom trailing behind him .

Hah!

Kang Chul-In could see it this time .

Oraclomind and Overdrive had activated instinctively, granting Kang Chul-In a reaction speed beyond human limits!

Clang!

Demon sword Kaiforce and light sword Arondight clashed .

He certainly did get stronger . . .

Kang Chul-In could feel the heavy impact from the blow . He had to acknowledge Brynhildr’s growth . An almost terrifying growth rate, as expected from his nemesis in the previous life .

However,

Getting c.o.c.ky, are we?

Kang Chul-In’s eyes gleamed .

Ooooong!

Kaiforce began to vibrate .

Bang!

It then flung Arondight off .

“Cough!”

Fresh blood began to ooze out from beneath Brynhildr’s armor, who was reeling under the heavy blow . An overwhelming display of power! Brynhildr might be fast, but he was no match for Kang Chul-In’s monstrous strength . The latter was proving once again that he was the real deal .

I will beat you up just enough to not kill you .

Kang Chul-In charged at Brynhildr with that thought .

***

Meanwhile . . .

“Troops heading to Iota and Shen, change your trajectory to Zolushka . ”

15,000 men each . Lee Ji-Tae directed a total of 30,000 soldiers to Zolushka .

“Send in all of our most elite troops to Zolushka . In addition, send half of the 20,000 soldiers stationed in this castle to Zolushka . ”

He had also decided to send in legitimate soldiers, not just the small fries .

Kang Chul-In… I promise to make Zolushka your grave .

Lee Ji-Tae studied the map eagerly . It was almost an all-out attack .

Except for the 10,000 soldiers stationed in Itaracia’s castle, Lee Ji-Tae was sending all of his men to Zolushka .

***

The battle between Kang Chul-In and Brynhildr was indeed remarkable .

“Ohhhh!”

“So that’s the Supreme King of the West . ”

“The white knight was that strong? To even challenge Kang Chul-In?”

“M-Monsters . . . ”

The Lords of the Gullveig Alliance and their elite troops didn’t dare to interfere with this intense battle . All they could do was marvel at the two fighters .

Well, who could stop them? Only death awaited whoever stepped in . Observing from a safe distance was the wisest move .

“Urgh!”

However, the battle was more lopsided than it appeared to be .

“What, getting tired?”

Kang Chul-In pressured Brynhildr with a wicked smile on his face .

Clang, clang, clang!

Kaiforce and Arondight clashed relentlessly, creating tremendous shock waves each time .

“How dare you, a mere cormorant, challenge me?”

Kang Chul-In caught Brynhildr off guard for a split second and flung his knee upwards with great strength .

Bam!

Kang Chul-In’s knee landed straight into Brynhildr’s abdomen .

“Cough!”

Brynhildr’s body folded from the impact .

“I told you . . . ”

Bang!

Kang Chul-In’s fist struck Brynhildr’s jaw .

“You should’ve . . . ”

Crack!

An elbow attack this time!

“Just fetched your fish . ”

Bam!

A kick followed .

Thump!

Brynhildr rolled a good 10 meters on the floor before coming to a halt .

“Keuk!”

“Do you get it now?”

Kang Chul-In grinned .

“This is the difference between us . ”

A clear arrogance . He proved that he could kill Brynhildr anytime . The only thing that was stopping him from doing so was the Sonic Ring, which was also referred to as the ‘fish’ .

It was the hard truth . Kang Chul-In could have murdered Brynhildr the moment he caught him off-guard . All he had to do was swing Kaiforce instead of the tedious kicking, punching and elbowing . Brynhildr would’ve become a corpse by now .

“Kang… Chul-In . . . ”

Brynhildr struggled to get himself up .

“It’s not over yet . . . ”

“Really?”

“Don’t be arrogant… I can still fight . ”

A remarkable fighting spirit indeed . Brynhildr’s brilliant white armor was dented and torn everywhere, but he refused to give up . This greatly moved Kang Chul-In . . .

“You f.u.c.ker . ”

… Or not . Kang Chul-In was not a cliché main character of a shonen manga, who typically made up with his opponent after a fight .

“Let me crush all your bones into pieces . . . ”

Kang Chul-In approached Brynhildr while mumbling those harsh words .

Suddenly,

Toommmm!

The ground began to tremble .

“Wahhhhh!”

“Capture him!”

“Kill Kang Chul-In!”

From afar, tens of thousands of Shatyameba soldiers were marching at an incredible speed .

“Trying to win by numbers, huh…?”

Kang Chul-In smirked . He wasn’t afraid . As long as the arch-shaped pa.s.sage was unscathed, it was impossible for him to lose .

It was certainly true that he might collapse from fatigue on day 3, but he could just escape before that happened .

“Don’t mind them . ”

Brynhildr walked towards Kang Chul-In .

“You fight with me . ”

“You still don’t get it, do you?”

Kang Chul-In jeered .

***

“Kang Chul-In . . . ”

Having launched an all-out attack, Lee Ji-Tae stood on the watchtower .

“Your corpse . . . ”

He could see Zolushka in the distance . A large troop was approaching it . A battle was about to unfold, and Kang Chul-In was certainly going to die while fending off the relentless wave of attacks .

“You will never escape . . . ”

Lee Ji-Tae was about to complete his sentence, when . . .

Vroooomm!

A screeching engine sound could be heard .

“ . . . !”

Lee Ji-Tae could sense that something was off . A bit later, three enormous air crafts emerged from the curtain of clouds to reveal themselves in the sky above Itaracia . One of them was familiar to Lee Ji-Tae .

“Z-Zeppelin!”

Wasn’t that Rothschild’s former aircraft which was used to attack Laputa?

Not only did Zeppelin appear, but also . . .

Roarrrr…!

A gigantic beast gleamed with brilliant silver s.h.i.+ne appeared . It was none other than the famous Full Metal Dragon .

Last but not least, there was the largest aircraft of the three . It was at least five times bigger than Zeppelin .

“T-Temeraire!”

Overlord Hecate’s legendary battles.h.i.+p sailed through the sky .

Ah, ah, mike test . Mike test .

Suddenly, Kwak Jung’s voice could be heard through the magic-engineered loudspeaker, which echoed throughout the Chamonix mountains .

Fresh vegetables are here… no, that’s not it! Ok, I’m giving you guys 10 seconds .

It was a warning .

Choose . Surrender in 10 seconds or become roasted meat .

He was threatening to destroy Itaracia .

“What the f.u.c.k!?”

Lee Ji-Tae couldn’t believe this situation . Why would Valhalla’s main battle force appear in the northern region of Baldur? It already didn’t make sense that Kang Chul-In was protecting Zolushka .

Why? Was Kang Chul-In’s information network so incredible? No, that’s not it . Even that Kang Chul-In wouldn’t be able to read the situation in Pangaea so effectively!

No matter how he pondered, it didn’t make sense . Of course, Lee Ji-Tae was unaware of the deal between Kang Chul-In and Lily . It was natural for him to be caught off-guard .

10 . . .

Meanwhile, Kwak Jung had already initiated the countdown .

9, 8, 7 . . .

10 seconds . That was a very short time . Not to mention that it was impossible to decide a crucial matter like surrendering within such a short time frame!

6, 5… argh, f.u.c.k it!

Kwak Jung suddenly flared up .

Just shoot everything! Now!

As impatient as ever, he didn’t bother to keep to the 10 seconds at all!

G.o.d d.a.m.n it!

Lee Ji-Tae’s face crumpled .

Pow!

And hence began the bombardment .

Farewell .

Overlord Hecate’s ultimate attack, ‘Fire,’ began to pour down on the opponents!

***

While Kwak Jung was unintentionally s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g Lee Ji-Tae up, Kang Chul-In was facing 300,000 Shatyameba and Gullveig Alliance soldiers, as well as Brynhildr, at the same time .

“Come at me . ”

Brynhildr stepped up .

“Oi, cormorant . ”

Kang Chul-In replied coldly .

“You sure you won’t regret this?”

“ . . . ”

“Should I really kill you here?”

It was his final warning . Kang Chul-In had been giving many chances so far, but any further and he would murder Brynhildr, regardless of whether he could obtain the Sonic Ring .

“Your threats are meaningless . ”

Brynhildr held tightly onto his light sword, Arondight .

“I - Brynhildr, the white knight - will never back off from a fight against Kang Chul-In, the Supreme King of the West . ”

“ . . . ”

“No matter what happens . . . ”

Suddenly,

“Kang Chul-Innnnnnnnnn!”

An idiotic voice could be heard from somewhere .

Keeeeek!

The unique cry of a wyvern could also be heard .

“I’m hereeeeeeeeee!”

With that,

Thump!

Overlord Dorian Explorer alighted from a gigantic black Wyvern’s back .

“… What?”

Kang Chul-In asked Dorian with a puzzled expression .

“Why are you here, b.a.s.t.a.r.d?”

“To help!”

“Help who?”

Kang Chul-In asked .

“You!”

“Me?”

“Yep! You are all alone!”

“That’s true but… I don’t recall asking for help?”

“R-Really?”

Dorian started to sweat .

“Kwak Jung told me that you are in big trouble . . . ”

“Idiot . ”

“ . . . !”

“Tricked again . ”

“T-Tricked?”

“Tsk… you suffer more if you are stupid . ”

Kang Chul-In mocked Dorian .

Brrrr!

Dorian’s body trembled with rage .

“Urgh… tricked again… d.a.m.n it . Well… what can I do…? Anyways, take this, Kang Chul-In . ”

Dorian pa.s.sed something to Kang Chul-In .

“What’s this?”

“A tonic!”

Dorian grinned .

“Tonic?”

“Dragon Heart . ”

“ . . . !”

“Take care of your body . You have three wives to deal with . You need something like this to sustain your virility . . . ”

Bam!

Kang Chul-In smashed his fist onto Dorian’s head .
