Chapters Chapter 284: Kang Chul-In, the One-Man Army! (1) (1/2)
“W-who are you? Where are you from? Huh?”
A soldier growled at the applauding stranger.
“Get lost.”
“What? Get lost? You bastard...”
However,
Bam! The soldier was sent flying like a bloody rag doll before he could complete his sentence.
“How dare a small fry like you address me directly?”
Kang Chul-In snickered and entered the Lord’s hall.
“I’m leagues above you bastards.”
He was right. There was a huge difference in ranks. How could an enemy soldier casually talk to Kang Chul-In, the king of Valhalla?
“O-oppa!”
Lily Sephardi recognized Kang Chul-In and exclaimed.
“Y-you came… you really… came… sob!”
Lily couldn’t control her burst of tears. She definitely longed for her oppa! In fact, Lily could only endure until now thanks to her hope that Kang Chul-In would arrive to help her. Without that, Zolushka would have fallen long ago.
Why the hell am I her oppa?
For a moment, Kang Chul-In didn’t like how Lily was addressing him, but he let it slide in the end.
Heh. Well, she is a kid after all… kinda commendable.
This girl. She had risen up to a high rank despite her young age, which was already praiseworthy. Moreover, it was a miracle that she managed to hold her grounds this long against the Shatyameba army. And to think she displayed an unbreakable fighting spirit even on the brink of death? She was truly a talent to behold in the future.
“Well done, kid.”
Kang Chul-In smiled at Lily.
“O-Oppa...”
“I came here as fast as I could, but it seems like the fortress fell much earlier than I expected.”
“Well that… that is… sob...”
“It’s alright.”
Kang Chul-In patted Lily’s head gently.
“Now that I’m here, that’s nothing to worry about.”
“Sob… sob sob...”
Lily couldn’t speak a word. Only tears continued to roll down her cheeks.
“Oi, you there.”
Kang Chul-In pointed at Rooibos.
“Yes, Supreme King of the West.”
“Protect your Lord with your life.”
“Certainly. However, your Majesty… we’ve already lost...”
“First time I’m hearing that.”
“…I beg your pardon?”
“We haven’t lost yet.”
“H-however!”
Rooibos was about to say something totally logical and objective about the current war situation. They had already lost. The inner castle had been infiltrated, and even the Lord’s hall was about to be conquered. Kang Chul-In’s claims seemed too idealistic.
“Didn’t I tell you?”
Kang Chul-In said coldly.
“We haven’t lost.”
“Y-your Majesty!”
“Who gave you the permission to decide whether the battle has been lost or not?”
“...!”
“Don’t decide that on your own.”
“Your Majesty...”
“Before I acknowledge our loss, this war is still anyone’s game.”
Thump!
Rooibos could feel his heart sink.
Brrrr!
His body trembled as well.
What confidence! As to be expected from the strongest man in Pangaea!
Kang Chul-In was the Supreme King of the West, indeed.
Only he, who was literally a one-man army, could say such things.
“What, did he just say the Supreme King of the West?”
“That guy is Kang Chul-In? That Kang Chul-In?”
“The king of Valhalla?”
“That war-maniac? And he’s here alone?”
“No way...”
The Shatyameba soldiers, who were listening to the conversation all this while, stood there puzzled. They couldn’t believe it. It hadn’t been too long since the war between Valhalla and the Gullveig Alliance had ended. Why would the busy Supreme King of the West be here in person?
“No way… why would Kang Chul-In, that god damned f.u.c.ker, be here?”
A soldier spurted out the above without thinking.
Crack! A vein popped up on Kang Chul-In’s forehead.
This bastard.
It was hardly surprising that an enemy soldier would mock him. The only problem was that the ‘god damned f.u.c.ker’ was right in front of that soldier, alive and well.
“D-Don’t tell me!?”
At that moment, Ahinandi, the Shatyameban general, finally recognized Kang Chul-In...
“S-Supreme King of the West? A-are you really that Kang Chul-In…?”
“Why wouldn’t I be?”
Kang Chul-In replied with a smirk.
“E-Eek?!”
Ahinandi was flabbergasted. He was horrified to the core. He couldn’t logically comprehend why Kang Chul-In would be here!
“Huu, I heard that.”
Kang Chul-In walked towards the soldier who called Kang Chul-In a ‘god damned f.u.c.ker’.
“Say that again.”
“Err… actually… what I-I meant was… Kuhuk!”
Thump, roll. His head fell onto the floor of the Lord’s hall and tossed around.
Psssst! Fresh blood spurted out of the soldier’s neck like a fountain.
“Nobody...”
Kang Chul-In declared.
“Will ever step into this Lord’s hall.”
Bam! That was the Absolute’s declaration.
“Hmm, actually, you all are a pain in the ass. Just die.”
In fact, it was a death sentence.
The death reaper was here.
