Chapters Chapter 289: The Final Investment (1/2)
“W-Why did you hit me!?”
Dorian shouted, as if he got an undeserved punishment.
“You asked for it.”
“What did I do!?”
“What do you know about my s.e.x life to spout such nonsense?”
“Why wouldn’t I know!?”
“...!”
“Even if you do it once per week, that’s already three times! Then you won’t have any more virility left...”
“I would.”
“...!”
“You don’t even know anything...”
“D-Don’t lie!”
Dorian strongly denied Kang Chul-In’s statement.
“Then die!”
“...?”
“Excessive s.e.x can bring serious implications for the body...”
“That’s only you.”
“E-Eek!?”
“I’m totally fine, so worry more about your own virility rather than mine.”
Kang Chul-In reprimanded Dorian.
“You are still a bachelor.”
“...”
“Noob.”
Dorian had nothing to say. He pouted his mouth and ducked his head.
“Hmph. Ah, anyways, since I gave you that, we are finally even!”
“Sure.”
“Then hurry up and drink it!”
“Here?”
Kang Chul-In was puzzled.
“Are you telling me to consume a dragon’s heart in the middle of battle... is that it?”
“Yep.”
“...”
“Why not now…?”
“Why don’t you just hold a funeral for me instead?”
“Ah, is that the problem?”
Dorian scratched his head.
“It’s like telling everyone, ‘I’m here, so please drive a knife into my stomach,’ isn’t it?”
“...”
“Idiot.”
Kang Chul-In stared at Dorian pitifully. That was the reality.
An ‘Energy Core,’ or a concentration of monsters’ mana, contained a tremendous amount of mana, thus it required caution during consumption.
As for a dragon’s heart?
Even Kang Chul-In required at least a week to absorb a dragon’s heart.
“A-ahem!”
Dorian faked his cough and pretended to know nothing about it.
“Stop spouting nonsense. Since you are here, just help me deal with the enemy. There’s a lot of them.”
“O-Okay...”
A swarm of soldiers were charging towards Kang Chul-In and Dorian. 300,000. No matter how powerful a man was, he was bound to be overwhelmed by that number.
“Woah… but that’s quite a lot… hahaha...”
Heh, acting weak, huh?
Kang Chul-In smirked inwardly as he looked at Dorian. There was no way that Dorian was afraid. This handsome English man might be an idiot, but he was no coward. In fact, he was a former member of the SAS who roamed around the battlefields of Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and more, fighting armed terrorist forces. How could a man as such fear his opponents?
Moreover,
He is stronger than before.
Kang Chul-In could clearly detect the changes that have occurred in Dorian.
Wriggle wriggle!
Just look at the concentration of mana in his heart! Dorian had absorbed 40% of the dragon’s heart previously. The effects were starting to become more apparent. He was ready to become a one-man army, just like Kang Chul-In in the past!
“Kang… Chul-In...”
Brynhildr snarled.
“How dare you… how dare you say that in front of me…?”
“Hmm?”
“You dare to speak about your s.e.x life in front of me?”
“Ah, did that make you uncomfortable?”
Kang Chul-In bantered with a grin.
“If you are jealous, get multiple wives and concubines yourself...”
At that moment,
Bang!
Brynhildr charged at Kang Chul-In, creating a shrilling sonic boom behind him.
Fast!
Kang Chul-In was surprised again.
Swishhh!
Arondight was swung at an unparalleled speed, threatening to slice Kang Chul-In in half.
Flick!
Kang Chul-In turned his body to dodge Brynhildr’s surprise attack.
Crack!
Arondight barely missed Kang Chul-In, only cutting through part of Kang Chul-In’s armor. Not a fatal blow, but certainly a dangerous one.
“Next time...”
A blue, chilling light began to flash beneath Brynhildr’s helmet.
“I will kill you.”
“...”
“Prepare yourself.”
A ferocious warning. It was hard to believe that this was the same Brynhildr who had a hard time before.
“Is that so?”
However, Kang Chul-In didn’t bat an eyelid.
“You know, tons of people have threatened me like that so far...”
It was just like what he said. He didn’t just have one or two enemies. Even his first love during his younger days was gritting her teeth. How could Brynhildr be an exception?
“You wanna know what happened to all of them?”
“...”
“Experience it for yourself, cormorant.”
Immediately,
Boom!
With a thundering crack in the air, Kang Chul-In charged straight towards Brynhildr.
***
Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow. Pow!
‘Fire’ – Hecate’s bombardment – began to rain down on Itaracia’s castle.
Wiiiing.
Chulkuk!
