Chapter 353: The Final Frontier 2 (1/2)

Rindermergel’s words did not please Kang Chul-In.

“Spouting nonsense, aren’t you.” Kang Chul-In smirked. “Who’s the Emperor of Blood and Iron? I am Kang Chul-In, the emperor of Pangaea. Also, what do you mean by moth? Me?”

It was ridiculous.

“You lost to the Emperor of Blood and Iron 1000 years ago. Who are you calling foolish?”

“...!”

“You loser!”

What a taunt! Kang Chul-In had never lost to anyone in an argument before.

“A loser should know his place and humbly take part in a revenge match. Aren’t I right, Rindermergel?”

“...”

“I’m the champion, while you are the challenger. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”

Kang Chul-In brimmed with confidence, despite facing the leader of the Agnaga. He had a reason for that.

You are already dead.

Without a doubt, Rindermergel was strong. However...

You are just an actor in this play.

These circumstances were the climax portion of Kang Chul-In’s play based on the scenario that the Emperor of Blood and Iron and Emilia had proposed a thousand years ago!

“Full of confidence, aren’t you, Emperor of Blood and Iron’s reincarnation?” Rindermergel spoke. “That, however, does not mask your weakness.”

“My weakness?”

“Even the Emperor of Blood and Iron could not handle me in the past.”

That was a fact. The Emperor of Blood and Iron was always on the losing end against Rindermergel, utterly ‘dominated.' Without the Emperor of Blood and Iron’s trump card in the final moment, Rindermergel would have been the victor. Truly enough, that battle itself was almost a lose-lose situation.

“You are inferior to the Emperor of Blood and Iron, yet you dare to display such confidence in front of me?” Rindermergel smirked.

“Know your place, reincarnation of...”

At that instant, Kaiforce was swung towards Rindermergel at an incredible speed and clashed with Rindermergel’s arm with tremendous sound.

“...!”

Rindermergel was shocked.

I-Incredible force…!

He wasn’t injured or anything, but the heavy impact caught him off-guard. However, that alone was enough to shock him, because Kang Chul-In’s attack itself was half-hearted.

“What, surprised?” Kang Chul-In grinned. “You thought that I was weaker than the Emperor of Blood and Iron, huh?”

That hit the nail on the head.

Milenius… you bastard…!

Rindermergel gritted his teeth as he recalled Milenius, the previous Time Lord.

Feeding me such inaccurate information…!

In that case...

Danger!

Rindermergel, who had not yet recovered his full strength, deemed Kang Chul-In a burdensome enemy.

Thump!

At that moment, Kang Chul-In stepped towards Rindermergel.

“So, you are that strong, huh?”

“...”

“Show me that grandiose strength of yours.” With that, Kang Chul-In became a string of light and leaped towards Rindermergel.

“Keh…!” Rindermergel laughed. “Let me show you my overwhelming power…!”

Kang Chul-In was a burdensome enemy indeed. However, that was it. He was just a burdensome enemy. It took more than being stronger than the Emperor of Blood and Iron to defeat Rindermergel. He was the leader of the Agnaga, who had conquered tens of planets across thousands of years. He would never relinquish his life so easily no matter how difficult the circumstances were!

“Come at me, Emperor of Blood and Iron’s reincarnation!”

Immediately, Rindermergel also became a string of light and charged at Kang Chul-In. That signaled the start of the battle between Kang Chul-In, the emperor of Pangaea and Rindermergel, the leader of the alien race Agnaga.

The battle that would decide the fate of the world and the two races had begun!

Meanwhile, the Valhalla’s imperial army also began to move swiftly.

“Left troop, this way!” Drakan shouted.

“Right troop, this way!” Amur also responded accordingly and switched the formation.

“Central troop, split into left and right! Do not interfere with his imperial Majesty’s fight!” Lucia substituted Kang Chul-In as the commander of the central troop.

We will accomplish this mission no matter what! Focus only on your fight, your imperial Majesty! Believe in us!

Lucia, Drakan and Amur clenched their teeth and tried to accomplish their mission given by Kang Chul-In. The three of them were actually the protagonists in this play. Kang Chul-In was just the bait. Although Kang Chul-In was in charge of dealing with Rindermergel, that alone would not win them the final battle.

He needed an army. A triangular formation first, then a circular one. His one million soldiers would bring him the victory.

Yes, they were the stars in this battle!

***

The battle between Kang Chul-In and Rindermergel was intense.

He’s strong! Kang Chul-In was shocked by Rindermergel’s strength. Incredible strength… lightning speed… and also...

Rindermergel wasn’t just strong physically.

He’s experienced too…!

The leader of this alien race was a master of martial arts, and that was to be expected. Rindermergel had led his race to conquer countless planets throughout the entire universe, across tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, Rindermergel’s experience was even superior to the Emperor of Blood and Iron’s memories. The experience of fighting against innumerable living organisms was definitely insurmountable...

I’m getting pushed back…!

Kang Chul-In could gradually feel himself getting overwhelmed. Rindermergel was the god of martial arts. Kang Chul-In used the Emperor of Blood and Iron’s memory to analyze and memorize Rindermergel’s battle style, but he couldn’t find any weakness. It was as if he was facing an impregnable fortress.

Rindermergel grinned.

“How foolish, Emperor of Blood and Iron's reincarnation…!”

With that,

Bang! A compressed force struck Kang Chul-In’s chest.

“Kuhuk!” Kang Chul-In was knocked down as he coughed out blood.

“I acknowledge that you are stronger than the Emperor of Blood and Iron.” Rindermergel looked down at Kang Chul-In.

“However...”

“...”

“Why don’t you realize that it’s not enough? I’m invincible! Nobody in this universe has ever overpowered me before!”

He pressured Kang Chul-In with his overwhelming aura.

“You can’t win me, Emperor of Blood and Iron's reincarnation.” Rindermergel slowly approached Kang Chul-In.

“Is that so?” Kang Chul-In got himself up and replied. “On what basis? The battle has just begun.”

“You think so?” Rindermergel questioned. “Do you really think so, Emperor of Blood and Iron's reincarnation?”

“Of course.” Kang Chul-In refused to be daunted.

Not yet. I have to buy some more time.

Rindermergel was definitely powerful. However, Kang Chul-In wasn’t going all out either. Well, he certainly wished to, but now was now the right time.

Let’s endure a little longer… when the battle reaches its climax...

The battle between the imperial army and the ancient Agnaga army was still premature. If he invested all his energy into this now, his whole plan could be ruined.

“Shut up and come at me.”

Kang Chul-In decided to endure a little longer, just until the battle heated up a bit more...

***

The battlefield was inundated with a massive blood bath. The battle between the Valhalla soldiers and the ancient Agnaga army was gruesome, horrifying and intense.

“Die, die, die, dieee!”

“You fuckers! Die, dieeee!”

“Arghhhhh!”

“Come at me, you fuckers!”

The imperial army soldiers gave their all.

“These bastards...”

“I-I may die here… but… you bastards… are going down… with me… kuhuk!”

“I will… even become an apparition… to haunt you bastards.”

Even on the brink of death, the Valhalla soldiers were engulfed in anger, animosity and fighting spirit. They would attempt a final attack even while collapsing. It wasn’t an exaggeration to term them ‘evil spirits’ based on such behavior. The Valhalla soldiers were that desperate.

They did not have a future if they lost, so now was not the time to value their lives. This battle had a different meaning altogether.

Territory versus territory? Nation versus nation? Such battles were bound to conclude someday, and the parties involved could return to their respective homes after they were done battling. However, that was not the case for this battle. Who could back out from a battle that would result in the extinction of their species?

That was why the soldiers were so desperate to bring down at least one Agnaga soldier with them.
