Chapters Chapter 268: Kang Chul-In’s Counterattack (1/2)
Kang Chul-In had bought the following items from Lily:
[Unique/Staff] Girl’s Magic Wand
[Unique/Pants] Bomb Chastity Belt
[Rare/Bracelet] Furry Handcuffs
[Unique/Whip] The Whip of Delight
[Magic/Consumable] Chestnut- Scent Cream
“… As expected.”
Kang Chul-In frowned. There was nothing useful. In fact, these items were absolutely ridiculous. And to think they cost him 186,000 gold (even with the 420 gold discount)! That was about 74 billion South Korean won.
Kang Chul-In would have definitely gone crazy if Lee Chae-Rin had not offered to buy all these items.
“It’s too early to give up.”
Kang Chul-In held onto his sliver of hope. He still had a few more items to look through.
However,
(Skipping the middle 9)
15. [Unique] Metal Underwear
16. [Normal] Torn Cotton Sash
17. [Magic] A Novice Magician’s Ring
Totally useless items.
He wouldn’t even get them for free.
“How dare that bitch choose all these trashy items...”
Kang Chul-In muttered under his breath.
Kang Chul-In, the Supreme King of the West, and also a niggard.
He had put on a cool façade before, but he was now regretting his choices.
He was the living proof that someone who was once poor always thinks like they’re poor.
“A bitch, indeed. Where’s her conscience? To think she immediately accepted my offer to pay triple for these shitty items...”
Suddenly,
“Hmm?”
The last item began to intrigue Kang Chul-In.
Its description was as follows:
[Unique/Consumable] Return Scroll to Jötunheimr
Warps the user to the Jötunheimr region.
“What do we have here?”
Kang Chul-In’s face lit up.
The Jötunheimr region. It was a small rural area located just north of the Gullveig region.
“Interesting… very interesting…”
Kang Chul-In mumbled cunningly.
Wasn’t it so coincidental? This Jötunheimr region shared its boundaries with the Bifrost territory. Even Vilhelm himself had neglected this place due to the lack of resources, strategic location, population and a ruler! It was that barren. The only saving grace was its close proximity to Bifrost, the biggest city in the North. But still, a layman needed a week to travel between these two locations.
However,
“Sounds good.”
Peculiarly, Kang Chul-In had a wide grin on his face.
“Hmm… it’s going to be very risky… but if I do succeed, then tables may turn in this war.”
This Return Scroll was undoubtedly bad in any other circ.u.mstances, but Kang Chul-In had figured out a use for it. In fact, it could be even more valuable than any other Epic-ranked item in this situation.
“Hehe… let me take one for the team.”
Having said that,
Rip!
Kang Chul-In shredded the Return Scroll to Jötunheimr into pieces.
Flash!
With a brilliant light, Kang Chul-In vanished.

“Hey, you damn bastards!”
“You cowards… come at me, come at me!”
“Die, dieeeee!”
“I’m a proud soldier of Valhalla!”
The Deathwin stronghold defence finally began. With their morale at an all-time high, the Valhalla soldiers clashed against the incoming swarm of enemies without mercy. Astonishing combat proficiency! The Valhalla army was called the strongest in Pangaea for a good reason.
“Not good...”
However, Kwak Jung wasn’t too optimistic about this situation.
“This problem… can’t be solved with strategy alone.”
He was right. An hour had already passed since the start of the battle… his soldiers were starting to tire. In contrast, Kwak Jung couldn’t see an end to the swarm of Gullveig Alliance soldiers.
A staggering 80,000 soldiers! Furthermore, this wasn’t even the enemy’s full strength. Its special units were not even deployed in this fight, yet.
Pow, pobat abilities, the Valhalla soldiers were slowly falling one by one.
“The disparity in number is just too significant… god damn it...”
Even Kwak Jung himself was running out of options.
In order to preserve its force, Valhalla had to forfeit Deathwin and retreat to the 18 peaks. However, that would lower the morale of the soldiers and put them at a severe disadvantage for the next battle in autumn.
“It would be great if the fight was just nicely even… damn it, what’s Hecate doing?”
Kwak Jung complained.
Hecate. This psychotic Overlord had to unleash her overwhelming firepower in order for Kwak Jung to play his trump card. Temeraire, however, didn’t move an inch from the rear.
Hey, you weasel. I will kill you if you urge me one more time. I have a plan so wait patiently, alright?
Hecate replied to Kwak Jung’s request for reinforcement, then holed herself up in Temeraire. He was about to go crazy with frustration.
“Argh!”
Kwak Jung screamed.
“Don’t tell me we are actually going to lose...”
Suddenly,
Thump, thump!
The earth began to tremble violently.
