Chapters Chapter 106. Valhalla Dungeon (pt. 2) (1/2)
The ‘authority’ that allowed one to take control of tornadoes, Vortex.
Unlike a Lord’s ability or an Overlord’s authority, Vortex was not given to the user through the seemingly god-like system. Nor was there a method to train this authority, unlike other ridiculous powers like Overdrive.
Only the one that directly consumed the Leviathan’s heart was able to use this authority.
Lucy... is it Lucy?
Dodging Vortex, Kang Chul-In prepared for Lucy’s other attacks.
It wasn’t just Vortex.
Though Lucy was very skilled in archery, she also had talent in magic.
Battle Mage.
A class that buffed their own physical attributes and abilities through the use of their magic.
Lucy was a perfect example of a Battle Mage.
There was a high possibility that she would make the best use of her archery. Not only would she look for opportunities to use Vortex but she would also try to catch them off guard through ambushes.
Not even Kang Chul-In could tell when the arrow that contained Vortex would come, or where it would come from. It seemed like Lucy was using the spell ‘dimensional cloak’ to hide perfectly.
“Kuk…”
And finally, a victim arose from the ferocious and persistent attacks. It was Dorian who had taken damage from an arrow aimed at Kang Chul-In.
“Ugh, my arm… What kind of unfair ability is that?”
Looking at his bloody right arm, Dorian sighed.
Though his arm thankfully wasn’t chopped off, it was still a severe injury. It was difficult for Dorian to think of what would happen if he had gotten hit head-on instead of taking the collateral damage of an arrow aiming for Kang Chul-In.
Kang Chul-In, what are you...
Dorian gazed deeply at Kang Chul-In, who was dodging the seemingly endless hail of arrows.
It was almost ridiculous.
Kang Chul-In’s movements didn’t seem fancy, nor technical. It would actually fit better to call his movements humble.
With just those movements, the fact that he was able to dodge those Vortex arrows was ridiculous to Dorian. And this was not even mentioning the fact that these arrows came from almost every direction, as Lucy was covered by the dimensional cloak.
But…
Dammit!
Unlike Dorian’s dumbstruck gaze that showed otherwise, Kang Chul-In wasn’t faring a good time.
Which meant what?
...It meant that he had to use Overdrive.
Using the 1st phase of Overdrive which boosted 40% of his physical stats and attributes, Kang Chul-In was able to dodge through the Vortex arrows with explosive speed. If not for the use of Overdrive, he would have been doomed from the very beginning.
Come out, Lucy.
Kang Chul-In was just waiting for the moment that Lucy would show herself.
Lucy, how long are you going to hide?
Though Kang Chul-In had dodged over 50 arrows, Lucy still hadn’t shown herself. And to Kang Chul-In who was using Overdrive, it would be more disadvantageous for him as time passed.
Where could she be? Where…
While Kang Chul-In was frustrated and figuring out where Lucy was…
Swish…
A dark shadow seemed to dart to his left.
CLANG!
As Kang Chul-In noticed that, he held his soft-sword Kaiforce up to clash directly against the ‘falchions’ that the dark elves used.
Now!
Kang Chul-In immediately turned his body around, pushing Lucy’s falchions away from his body and rushing towards the left.
CLANG!
As Kaiforce and the falchions clashed once more, Kang Chul-In and Lucy faced each other.
“It’s been a while, Lucy.”
Kang Chul-In spoke.
“...How do you know of my name?”
But Lucy spoke back in an uninterested, bored tone. It seemed as if she couldn’t remember who Kang Chul-In was.
“Do you not remember me?”
“Unfamiliar human, I do not know who you are. Just… it’s just my frozen, discarded heart seems to tell me to hate you.”
And at the word discarded, Kang Chul-In stiffened for a moment.
Though he was suspecting it to be this way, it was still a different feeling when he heard it from Lucy herself.
“I do not know who you are, and how you know my name. I don’t even know why I hate you. I… just… do.”
Lucy spoke.
“So, you’re going to have to die.”
At these words, Kang Chul-In’s answer…
“So what?”
Was a scoff. He could understand completely that his former subordinates might dislike and despise his decision.
And due to this reason, he had set his mind to take the rage and hatred of his citizens and loyal subjects in the Valhalla dungeon.
But…
He did not have the slightest intention of forfeiting his life in a land like this.
There were new subordinates and subjects around Kang Chul-In now. There were already over 3000 citizens that were worshipping and serving him in the Laputa territory.
So telling Kang Chul-In to die just for their hatred and rage?
There was no way that would work.
Kang Chul-In further responded,
