Chapters Chapter 310: The Ragnark Begins! (1) (1/2)
“Just to make it clear, I’m not trying to mock you, Brynhildr.”
“...”
“But the truth...”
“I will prove it.”
“...!”
“I do acknowledge my previous defeats. However...”
Flicker! A bluish flame began to envelop Brynhildr.
Shiver! Mei Ling almost collapsed from Brynhildr’s vicious spirit.
“Not anymore.”
Brynhildr placed an emphasis on his words.
“I’ve become stronger.”
“...!”
“Do you know why I had left my post? It was because I was fully indulged in radical and agonizing training.”
“I-I see...”
“Do you know why I showed up again?”
“T-That…!”
There was no need for explanation. Brynhildr had clearly gotten stronger. Through his asceticism, he had achieved a certain degree of improvement that gave him the confidence to defeat Kang Chul-In. That was why he returned to the Gullveig Alliance!
“Take a look for yourself.”
Brynhildr spoke.
“L-Look at what?”
“Can’t you see?”
“Huh?”
Mei Ling was puzzled.
“What are you asking me to look at...”
At that moment...
Crack! A nearby desk was split into half.
“...!”
Mei Ling was appalled. When and how did he even cut the desk? This was astonishing speed indeed.
“F-Fast...”
That wasn’t all.
Crack! The bookshelves broke as well.
Slice! So did the curtains.
And...
Crack, crack, clang! The objects in the office began to break one by one.
“...!”
Mei Ling was lost for words.
“H-How…?”
Extreme speed? No, that wasn’t good enough of a description. Light speed. Yes, light speed! Brynhildr had managed to surpass human limits!
“Your Majesty.”
Brynhildr spoke in a staunch and charismatic voice.
“Yes…?”
“Is this...”
“Good enough…! It’s more than enough!”
In the end, Mei Ling had to acknowledge Brynhildr’s strength. How couldn’t she? She had just witnessed the greatest speed with her very own eyes, after all.
“Brynhildr.”
“Yes, your Majesty.”
“I hereby appoint you as the general of the army, and I leave you to fight with Kang Chul-In.”
Mei Ling’s decision was to no one’s surprise. To be honest, she had no reason to not take Brynhildr in, even if he hadn’t increased his strength. Heavy hitters like him were rare. In fact, he was one of the strongest warriors in Pangaea. To top it all off, he had mastered light-speed sword skills. It was quite a serendipity.
“That’s not all, of course. I will...”
Mei Ling tried to offer him more rewards but,
“I don’t need it.”
“...!”
“I only care about my battle with Kang Chul-In.”
Brynhildr denied Mei Ling’s proposal in advance.
“Your Majesty. I only live to stop Kang Chul-In’s rampage, not to gain wealth and honor.”
“Is that so…?”
“Therefore...”
“...?”
“Let me tell you first. I will leave you after I achieve my goal.”
“Ah…!”
Brynhildr was drawing the line. He was stating that their relationship was a pure partnership, not that of a sovereign and subject.
“Brynhildr… seems like it’s impossible to earn your loyalty… not even my late husband couldn’t...”
“I’m sorry.”
“N-No… I understand that you do not wish to be tied down. I shall not force it. You and I will be partners with a common enemy.”
“Yes, your Majesty.”
“In return… I hope you strictly uphold the military law at the very least. Although you are strong and worthy of respect, I can’t let our army’s discipline slack.”
“Don’t worry.”
Brynhildr nodded.
“Moreover, I wish to respectfully decline any events like commission ceremonies.”
“Sure.”
“Yes, then I will excuse myself...”
Brynhildr cautiously walked away from Mei Ling.
Hmm?
At that moment...
His hand…?
Mei Ling detected something peculiar from Bryhildr’s back view. It was a snow-white hand. Brynhildr wasn’t wearing a gauntlet on one hand. His hand was thin, white and beautiful.
It was as if...
A girl?!
As if Brynhildr was a girl.
But...
It was too early to jump to conclusions. Mei Ling only noticed Brynhildr’s pretty hand and failed to notice another peculiarity. On his ring finger was a light blue ring that was absent in the past...

“Roll left.”
“Keeek!”
“Roll right.”
“Keek!”
“Sit.”
“Keek!”
“Stand.”
“Keek!”
“Roll right, stand, roll left, roll left, roll left, roll left, roll right, don’t stand and then roll right.”
“K-Keek…?”
Vulkan, who had been rolling diligently according to Kang Chul-In’s order, was suddenly dumbfounded.
“Got it wrong, huh?”
“K-Keek?!”
“Time for some punishment.”
“...!”
“Bite the bullet.”
Kang Chul-In clenched his fist with a ghastly expression.
“Eeeeeeek!”
The thousand-year-old monkey had to experience bone-shattering pain and scream in agony.
“Wow… he really has no mercy...”
Hecate marveled.
“How could a human be so cunning?”
“Hmm… a bit too brutal, huh?”
Dorian agreed.
“Kang Chul-In’s personality is really...”
“Really my type...”
“W-What?!”
“How should I say… it’s very stimulating? Just my style. Also...”
“...”
“He seems to be amazing in bed, according to the rumors. How can I not be tempted?”
“Ah, okay...”
Dorian, absolutely appalled by Hecate’s eccentric taste, refused to comment further.
This person is a complete psychopath… why do women even crave for a guy like that…?
