Chapters Chapter 109. Valhalla Dungeon (pt. 5) (2/2)
Under the leadership helmet of one of the Immortal Vanguard members, the official military cadence started to ring throughout the Vahalla dungeon.
“My honor be in battle.”
“My honor be in battle.”
And the other Immortal Vanguard members repeated what one of their members said, while dashing towards Kang Chul-In.
“There be no defeat, no surrender. This breath, stop after the battle ends.”
“There be no defeat, no surrender. This breath, stop after the battle ends.”
The Immortal Vanguard’s glorious and loud cadence, as well as powerful military might started to pressure Kang Chul-In.
“...These bastards.”
Kang Chul-In unconsciously muttered in rage. And…
BANG!
With Kang Chul-In at the center, a large shockwave formed of Kang Chul-In’s mana pushed away the Immortal Vanguard and Bellatrix.
“You guys.”
“I’ll just finish you off quickly.”
Pzzt, Pzzt!
And as soon as those words came out of Kang Chul-In’s mouth, powerful and large sparks started coming out from Kang Chul-In’s body. This was the activation of Phase 2 Overdrive.
Swish!
Swinging Kaiforce which had just turned into a lance, Kang Chul-In motioned to his enemies.
“Come.”
----
“Kuk...Kukukuk…”
Bellatrix laughed.
“You...cough! Will definitely… die… Kuk… Definitely…”
Even though Bellatrix was dying, with Kaiforce puncturing a hole through her chest, she spoke towards Kang Chul-In like a raving madman. Just like Lucy, it seemed as if she had difficulties in reining in her emotions.
“Rest now.”
Kang Chul-In spoke.
Puk-!
Kaiforce made its way to the heart, and ripped it open.
Swish~!
The remains of Bellatrix’s body turned to dust, and was swept off by the wind and carried away.
And next was the leader of the Immortal Vanguard, Robert.
“Who do I serve… My lost loyalty…”
Even while his arms and legs were brutally chopped off, Robert tried his best to remember the Lord he had once served. Even though Kang Chul-In was right in front of him… It made Kang Chul-In frustrated.
Puk!
Kang Chul-In wordlessly stabbed through Robert’s throat.
“Kuk… I… can’t seem to recall Milord's face…”
Bang!
Robert fell to the floor, dead.
“...How long do I have to do this for…”
Kang Chul-In spoke, disarrayed and lost for the first time.
Thinking of the fact that he might have to kill even more of his old subordinates as he progressed through the dungeon, the stress was getting to him.
“Sigh…”
And leaving behind the countless corpses, Kang Chul-In finally leaned against a half-broken wall, and sat down.
“Let’s rest for a little while.”
“...Even monsters rest?”
“I’m getting to my limit now.”
Kang Chul-In didn’t try to act tough in front of Dorian.
“Honestly, I think I’m going to die of exhaustion.”
Bellatrix after Lucy, as well as the Immortal Vanguard. Due to the fact that Kang Chul-In had to activate the Phase 2 Overdrive so often and for such extended periods of time, his body was in a mess.
Only 15% of his mana was remaining, and his stamina was also hitting rock bottom. And worst of all, he wasn’t recovering because of the countless bloody wounds he had.
“It seems like these might be the last potions I drink here.”
Drawing a breath, Kang Chul-In then proceeded to gulp down a Health potion, and a mana potion that he had.
“Huu…”
Like this, Dorian and Kang Chul-In rested for another two hours.
Putting bandages on his wounds and consuming some emergency food and water, Kang Chul-In was able to somewhat regain his strength.
And they started to move again.
Though they wanted to rest a bit longer, the sense of danger impeded this exhaustion. If they rested for a little longer, who knew if they wouldn’t get ambushed and sent to the underworld.
Thankfully, they didn’t meet any enemies while on their way to the Lord’s hall. Though some ghosts that seemed to be maids came and cried their eyes out and complained to them, nothing major occurred.
The boss should be in the Lord’s hall, right?
Walking across the red carpet that led to the Lord’s hall, Kang Chul-In thought of who the final boss might be.
There were many possibilities.
It could be any of the 5 generals of the Valhalla Army, or it could also be his Vampire Butler Alfred.
But seeing as though it would be impossible to determine who the boss was in a short period of time, Kang Chul-In gave up and decided to just prepare for the upcoming battle.
Finally, Kang Chul-In and Dorian were able to reach the Lord’s hall, where the final boss of the Valhalla territory resided.
But… something was off.
“So you’ve come, cold-hearted one.”
The boss was someone that Kang Chul-In had never even seen before.
Long, white hair. Pale skin. A tall, skinny body. Sharp eyes, and sharp claws. A man that Kang Chul-In had never seen in his past life, or his current life at that, sat down on the throne that Kang Chul-In had once graced.
“Are you prepared to pay the price?”
With a reddish hue in his eyes, the white-haired man stared at Kang Chul-In coldly. It occurred to Kang Chul-In, observing the man’s features, that the opponent might be a vampire.
“Who are you?”
Kang Chul-In asked.
“State your name.”
“My name, huh?”
Listening to the answer, Kang Chul-In almost dropped Kaiforce due to his astonishment. It was because this white-haired man was completely different from the ‘man he knew before…’
