Chapter 258: Aluko’s Report

“D-Delcadooooo!”

Cladius screamed .

-Keak!

-Uck!

-P-Please…! Uackkkkk!

Beyond the screen, a gruesome scene was playing .

-Please . . .

-No .

-I want to live!

-That’s not my business .

-Your Majesty! P-Please!

-Relax, shut up, and just get beat .

-Uackkkkk!

Kang Chul-In on the screen was merciless .

“You savage! J-just kill him!”

It was to the point that Claudius unintentionally shouted for the death of his next-door neighbor .

-Keuk, keukkkk! P-Please . . .

-Then why’d you ignore my letter?

-But… it was so… unbelievable . . .

-That’s your mistake, not mine . It’s normal to be punished if you don’t have faith .

- . . .

-So get beat up .

-Keackkk!

How was a human so shameless and cruel?

If he had said that he wanted to beat someone up and kill them on the notice, it would’ve been easier to believe .

That’s a demon! Not a human! A human can’t be like that!

Cladius was completely frozen in fear watching the scene .

-K-Kuk!

-Let’s end it now .

- . . . !

-Any last words?

On the screen, Kang Chul-In asked Delcado a question with a sword emitting white light in his hand .

-P-Please let me liv . . .

-Die .

Flash!

The light of the sword flashed as it drew an arc .

Plop .

Delcado collapsed .

-Hey, you .

Kang Chul-In spoke at the lens of the magic-engineered communication device . He was speaking to Claudius .

“Y-Yes?!”

-You have 4 hours and 30 minutes left .

“ . . . !”

-Decide by them . Whether you’re going to cut off your alliance with Rothschild or . . .

Kang Chul-In glanced at his feet when he said that, towards where the dead Delcado was .

-You die .

“Huk!”

-I hope you make a wise decision .

At the same time, the communication device was cut off .

Click!

Psss, pssst!

The black and white screen filled Claudius’ vision .

“The Supreme King of the West! The real Supreme King of the West! The Supreme King of the West killed . . . !”

Thanks to that, Claudius plopped to the floor blankly .

5 hours .

He had to choose by then .

“Wow, Kang Chul-In . . . ”

Dorian clicked his tongue .

“Truly a demon . Totally a demon . ”

“ . . . What’s with those eyes?”

“You’re really evil . ”

“ . . . ”

“How can a person beat up people so well?”

“Can’t you do everything well if you just practice?”

“W-What?”

“They say people who’ve eaten meat before eat it well . ”

“S-So?”

“It means I beat up a lot of people . ”

“Huk!”

“Well, it’s not something to brag about . ”

Kang Chul-In grinned .

That scary guy… just who did he beat up so much . . .

Dorain was scared . All he could talk about was how powerful . . .

“Anyway . ”

Kang Chul-In spoke as he tapped Delcado’s head with his foot .

“Let’s clean up before we go . ”

“O-Okay . ”

“Hey, get up . ”

Kang Chul-In spoke to Delcado .

“Keuk…!”

Delcado groaned .

Surprisingly, he was still alive .

So this is useful during times like this .

He smiled sourly looking at Mitra on his waist .

Because Mitra couldn’t be used to kill anyone, no matter how much he cut someone, he wasn’t injured at all .

In fact, Delcado was a mess after being beaten up by Kang Chul-In, but his body wasn’t split in half .

“Hey, I said to get up . ”

“Keuk . . . ”

“Will you feel better once I actually kill you?”

“M-my body . . . won’t… lis . . . ”

It seemed like he had been beaten up too much .

“Tsk, there’s nothing we can do . ”

Eventually Dorian stepped up .

Puk!

His dagger swiped down on Delcado’s neck .

“Keuk!”

Delcado fell over after half a scream . He had fainted .

“Since you did it, you carry him . ”

“Humph!”

“Then should I just kill him?”

“T-That’s not . . . ”

“Then take care of him . I’ll leave first . ”

Kang Chul-In broke through the office window to go outside .

Shatter!

“ . . . He’s breaking everything just because it isn’t his . ”

Dorian shook his head, Delcado on his back .

***

In a dark room deep inside the Cyamodus territory . . .

A cocoon started to split apart .

Rip, rip!

With an ominous sound, a white arm stretched out of the cocoon and ripped at the cocoon around itself .

Rip, rip! Tear!

The process of ripping the cocoon continued .

The right hand, left hand, and left leg .

The body after that .

“Whew!”

Alex Rothschild breathed out when he ripped out of the cocoon .

White smoke was coming from his body .

“I feel . . . disgusting… very disgusting…”

Rothschild muttered as he looked at his bare body .

His body was covered with a sticky liquid, and he looked quite grotesque .

However, Rothschild’s muscles squirmed like they were alive, and each of his muscular fibers could be clearly seen .

His muscular fibers looked like they were connected by Kevlar [1], not proteins .

“So this is the power of Agnana . . . ”

Rothschild muttered as he looked at his palms .

“It’s dirty, but strong . This power… there’s no need to strengthen it . Just where did you get this kind of power, Andrei?”

It was then .

-Are you there, your Majesty?

Akul’s voice rang out from a magic-engineered speaker .

“What . . . is it, Akul?”

-It’s an emergency, your Majesty!”

“Emergency?”

-Overlord Lee Chae-rin’s military is heading for our Baldur region, and from the east, Lord Vito Clemenza’s army is coming, and has already swallowed three territories .

“Is that so…? Well, alright . ”

Rothschild was relaxed even though the Baldur region was being attacked from both sides .

“I’ll take care of it one by one while taking care of business . ”

-That’s not all, sir!

“ . . . ?”

-Some of the territories we are allied with have received letters from Kang Chul-In .

“Kang Chul-In, again? Alright, explain . ”

Akul spoke about the information in Kang Chul-In’s notice .

“I see, I see . . . ”

Rothschild wasn’t mad .

“Pft, pft pft! That’s what he did? That Kang Chul-In did this to isolate me?”

-Y, Yes, sir . . .

“Well, sure, whatever . ”

“What? Your Majesty, you have to prepare for . . . !”

“Prepare . . . Fine . I’ll call for a meeting one hour later, so tell the messengers to get ready . ”

-Understood, your Majesty . . .

Akul was flustered because Rothschild’s voice was so calm, but he didn’t ask why . Recently, Rothschild had called his subordinates depending on his mood and killed them, showing his tyrant instincts .

“Whew . ”

Rothschild sighed .

“I suppose it’s time to settle things with you . ”

His eyes were completely black with no whites . His clear blue eyes had disappeared .

“Wait a little, Kang Chul-In . There’s not too long until your life is taken… ha, hahahahaha!”

Rothschild laughed ominously .

While Rothschild was drunk on his new power, a periscope smaller than a pinkie disappeared through the ground .

Swipe!

One week later . . .

“D-Don’t come closer!”

Lord Gilbert shouted at the demon approaching him .

“Don’t you have any refreshing lines?”

The demon spoke with a grin .

“Don’t come, I said! Fuck off!”

“Goodness . . . ”

“You demon-like bastard!”

Gilbert had quite a temper, seeing how he was shouting in the Lords’ Hall after all his guards and soldiers were just killed .

That might’ve been why he had increased the security around his territory by 3 times and spent sleepless nights in the Lords’ Hall .

It’s easy to tell who’s gonna burst out crying just by their faces .

Kang Chul-In took a step closer to Gilbert .

As he did, Gilbert fainted with bubbles in his mouth, right before Kaiforce landed in his head .

“Whew . ”

Kang Chul-In sighed as he took Kaiforce back .

“I’m tired . ”

“Me too . ”

Dorian, who had suddenly come from somewhere, spoke with a tired face .

“And the clean up?”

“Good enough . ”

“That’s fine . ”

“Ugh… this isn’t something I want to do again . We send notices to the Lords so . . . and it’s hard when they move . . . ”

“That’s why we’re holding the Lords hostage . ”

“But it’s still hard… ugh . . . ”

“Cheer up . ”

Kang Chul-In dryly encouraged Dorain .

It’s understandable that he’s tired . Since I’m also tired .

To be honest, Kang Chul-In was tired as well .

The two had used up all their energy causing messes in 5 different territories for the last week .

“Huk, hukkk . . . ”

“Haaa… haaaa . . . ”

“Ugh . . . ”

The same went for Dorian’s airborne forces, the Wyverns Woman Airborne Forces .

They weren’t even at war, and causing terror in territories and running away was extremely tiring .

They couldn’t even imagine fighting against Rothschild’s forces .

“Anyway, shouldn’t we stop now? I think both of us will die from overworking ourselves if this keeps up . ”

Dorian spoke in a raspy voice .

“I was thinking of stopping anyway . ”

Kang Chul-In replied .

We’re at the limits now .

It was true .

The more time went on, the more the forces of the Lords were increasing . Even for him, it was dangerous to fight against all those soldiers . It was time to stop .

But we still gained something .

It wasn’t like this was for nothing .

From the 5 Lords that they spoke about, two of them had been taken care of by Kang Chul-In and Dorian, and the other 3 returned to Rothschild to cut off their ties and hide .

With this, Rothschild wouldn’t be able to ally himself with the Lords around himself for the time being .

Also, the other Lords in the Baldur region were hiding themselves, saying they wouldn’t be on Rothschild’s side . They had definitely achieved what they came to do .

Will you stay inside your territory even after I pressure you like this, Rothschild?

But something was strange .

It was normal to show some kind of response to this, but it was quiet . Like he was planning something .

It’s strange . . .

There was only one option for Rothschild to pick .

It was hard for him to help the Gullveig Coalition because he was busy with the attacks from Lee Char-rin and Vito Clemenza .

Then there was only one thing left . To swallow up the territories around him to gain power . That was the wisest path that Rothschild could take .

But why? Just what is he trying to do in there . . .

Just then, he heard the sound of wings flapping and some owl human suddenly came from the ceiling . It was Aluko, from Fox Valley’s reconnaissance group .

“Aluko greets the Supreme King of the West!”

“Oh, it was you?”

“Yes, your Majesty . ”

“Weren’t you watching over Rothschild?”

“Yes, sir . ”

“But why are you here? Has the reconnaissance group been found?”

“No, sir . ”

“Then why?”

“I came because I have important information to report to you!”

“Hm . . . ?”

“Your Majesty, I’ll report it to you separately . Could you make some time . . . ”

“Of course . ”

Kang Chul-In nodded .

“Your Majesty, Rothschild is currently . . . ”

After they moved to another location, Aluko reported to Kang Chul-In .

“Huh . ”

Kang Chul-In smirked when he heard the report .

It seemed like his bad fate with his enemy was on the closing act .

“The time to end that damned bastard’s life has come . ”
