Chapters Chapter 163: Activate, Trap Card! (pt. 1) (1/2)

Lee Gong-Myung was waiting at a canyon 10 kilometres away from the west gate of the Bittermoon territory.

“Immense confidence and terrifying martial prowess with power to match up with that confidence. Looking at this man… he reminds me of a tyrant.”

Standing in front of an altar, Lee Gong-Myung looked eastward. As if someone had set it on fire, the Bittermoon territory was drowning in a sea of flames.

“However…”

Lee Gong-Myung grabbed his epic item, the White Rain Fan.

“I cannot let you rampage on for so long. For the sake of my lord… I will have to get rid of you.”

The reason that Lee Gong-Myung had even come to offer an alliance to Baruk Al-Yusuf was in order to put pressure on Kang Chul-In. Now that he had a chance to get rid of him, he didn't want to miss it.

“Strategist Lee.”

While he was thinking, an Anatolian commander called upon him.

“The altars are set up now.”

“And everything else?”

“They’re also finished.”

“Good.”

Lee Gong-Myung nodded, and then looked up towards the sky.

A full moon was rising.

“1 hour at the earliest, and maybe 2 hours if late…”

Lee Gong-Myung was calculating when exactly Kang Chul-In would make his way over to the canyon, and he predicted that by the time he would get there, it would already be dark.

“Tonight…”

Lee Gong-Myung murmured to himself.

“Will be your very last. I don’t have any bad feelings towards you. It's just… Milord doesn’t need you in his way…”

Lee Gong-Myung considered Kang Chul-In’s death to be inevitable.

Since they had already finished setting up so early, Kang Chul-In was just a dead man to him.

---------

In front of a sea of dead bodies, Kang Chul-In was breathing heavily.

It was a terrifying sight.

Dead bodies, upon dead bodies, upon dead bodies.

“Let’s… rest for a bit.”

Kang Chul-In jumped off the Altaica, and rested his body against the castle walls.

“This is something… I won’t ever do twice.”

Kang Chul-In shook his head because he was sick of the fighting.

Although he had managed to get out of the west gate, it was still extremely tiring.

His seemingly boundless mana and health also seemed to be at a limit, making his body extremely heavy. His muscles were screaming at him, seemingly about to spasm after overworking them so hard.

-Huk… Hu…

The Altaica wasn’t in a good state either.

This was evident by how it was sticking its tongue out and panting.

Its white fur was now covered in red patches, and blood was flowing down from its wounds. It was a truly depressing sight.

“Just a little further.”

Kang Chul-In told the Altaica.

“We just need to get past that canyon.”

-Krr…

As long as they made it past the western canyon, it wouldn’t be too difficult to escape, so that canyon would be their true final test.

“First of all…”

Murmuring, Kang Chul-In looked through his stuff and held up two flasks containing a purplish liquid. They were middle-ranked health potions.

“This is for you.”

Kang Chul-In opened up the flask, and handed it towards the Altaica.

-Krrr?

“Though you might not feel like you drank anything due to your large body… drink up. It’s much better than not drinking it.”

-Krrr… Hng…

As if it understood Kang Chul-In's words, the Altaica thanked him by acting cute.

To think that this is the godbeast of the ancient kingdom…

Speechless at the Altaica’s actions, Kang Chul-In put his hand on the remaining potion,

“Daughter.”

And handed it to his daughter, Arshelly.

“Endure for a little bit longer.”

Kang Chul-In started to pour the potion into Arshelly’s mouth, cautiously.

“F-Father…”

Due to this, Arshelly woke up and called Kang Chul-In with a weak voice.

“Don’t talk.”

Kang Chul-In stroked Arshelly’s hair.

“Father…”

Arshelly tried her best in order to drink the potion. Even though it was tiring for her to do even that, Kang Chul-In’s help encouraged her to drink all of it.

“I will also become… strong like father… will not… be a burden… will become… str…”

Unable to continue, Arshelly’s head dipped down a little bit. She had lost consciousness once again.

Looking at this, Kang Chul-In’s heart seemed to be ripping open again.

“That damned bastard…”

Kang Chul-In gritted his teeth.

This was all because of that damned Sheville Polansky.

“Hu….”

Calming himself down, Kang Chul-In vowed to himself:

“Do not worry, for I will make you strong. And… to save you, this pain is nothing worth mentioning.”

“There!!”

At that moment,

“That man is Overlord Kang Chul-In!”

“Over there!!”

From far away, the soldiers of Anatolia started to rush towards him.

And,

“Kang Chul-In, you bastard!!”

With a large shout, a huge lizard appeared.

”Pfft...”

Kang Chul-In laughed.

“Seems like he’s a little pissed.”

Without even having to check the person’s face, it was obvious that the one riding the giant lizard was Baruk Al-Yusuf.

“Where are you running? Stay right there!”

Shouting, Baruk Al-Yusuf tried to stop Kang Chul-In from fleeing.

“If you surrender now…”

While he was speaking,
