The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 107






This was definitely a big crisis for Kang Chul-In .


If he got hit by the Vortex, the body part that was struck would definitely be torn off .


But what if it was the Mega Vortex?


… He would die if even the slightest bit of it touched him .


In the past, Lucy was able to use this powerful authority of her’s to wipe out over 10,000 soldiers of Alex Rothschild in one blow .


He had to dodge it .


Unless he wanted to be swept up by the winds and ripped into shreds, Kang Chul-In had to dodge the Mega Vortex .


“KANG CHUL-INNNNNNN!!”


Listening to Dorian’s fierce roar, Kang Chul-In activated the second phase of Overdrive .


Bang!


The mana inside of his body started to rampage…


Badum .


Badum! Badum!


And the beating of his heart started to disperse the mana throughout his body .


I can dodge it . I’m fast, and I… have no limits .


Hypnotising himself, Kang Chul-In tricked himself into believing that he wasn’t the level 40 Kang Chul-In right now, but rather Kang Chul-In in his prime .


His leg muscles contracted to their limits, and the phase two Overdrive allowed Kang Chul-In to transcend the limits of his body .


BANG!


Creating a sonic boom, Kang Chul-In ‘distorted’ the space around him . He had shown the most he could, no, more than what his most should be able to show .


“Kang… Chul-In?”


Dorian was startled . Kang Chul-In was no longer anywhere to be seen .


But there was no more time to be startled .



It was because the Mega Vortex that had been aiming for Kang Chul-In hit the ground, and created a huge tornado that ripped apart the Valhalla plaza .


“Agh!”


Screaming pitifully, Dorian was hit by flying debris and smashed against a nearby wall .


“What in hell…”


Looking around, everything was in ruins .


“Kang Chul-In… What about Kang Chul-In?”


Dorian quickly looked for his comrade .


“Kang Chul-In!!!”


Shouting while looking through the rubble, Dorian looked for Kang Chul-In . And…


“Kang . . . Chul-In?”


He was able to find Kang Chul-In, who was pointing Kaiforce at Lucy’s neck .


---


“It’s over . ”


Kang Chul-In said .


However, Lucy’s answer disappointed him .


“I… am an unstoppable existence . ”


“Unstoppable?”


“You must know too… My life force is no longer here . ”


“ . . . There might be an opportunity . ”


“Will there be one though?”


Lucy faintly smiled .


Swoosh…


She started scattering into dust particles . First it was just parts of her, and then it was her entire body--- purplish particles in the shape of a dark elf .


And finally, she was gone .


“Go . ”


Kang Chul-In hoped the best for his former subordinate in the afterlife .


He didn’t apologize for discarding her . It was because he still didn’t regret choosing Laputa over Valhalla .


If I hadn’t had been defeated, this would have never happened .


Instead, the desire to take revenge on his previous life became even more intense .


Everything started that day when they had lost the war .


So…


This time, I won’t fail .


He didn’t want to see any more suffering from his subordinates .


I won’t lose anymore .


Kang Chul-In promised himself .


“Kang Chul-In . ”


At that moment, a stiff voice interrupted Kang Chul-In’s thoughts . It was Dorian, who seemed to have a lot of questions to ask .


“Who… are you?”


“No . Not right now . ”


“ . . . Will I ever be able to hear the truth from you?”


“Maybe another day . ”


“But…”


Dorian suddenly pointed to where Lucy had vanished .


“What’s that?”


Kang Chul-In instinctually followed Dorian’s finger, to where…


The Core of the Abyss…


It was the core, which Kang Chul-In had given to Lucy in the past .


Walking closer to it, Kang Chul-In stretched his arms towards it .


The grey bluish sphere that was the Core slowly dissipated, being absorbed into Kang Chul-In’s body .


With that, Kang Chul-In was able to obtain Vortex .


[You have learned ‘Tempest: Vortex’ Level 1 (Maximum Level 5)]


[Tempest: Vortex is extremely compatible with Lord Kang Chul-In . ]


[+30% Mastery]


[Tempest: Vortex has been increased to Level 3]


[When you reach Level 5, you will be able to use ‘Mega Vortex’ . ]

Arshelly was having a wonderful experience every day in Seoul, South Korea .


Although she was unable to enter elementary school because she still didn’t have some common knowledge, she was able to quickly absorb the things she looked at and studied .


Arshelly was smart, sensible, and most of all, could learn 100 when she was only taught 1 . If geniuses in this world existed, Arshelly would definitely be considered as one .


But just as most geniuses have problems within their lives, Arshelly did too . Recently, she had gotten bullied in the Piano Academy she went to .


The reason… was because she was too talented .


“S-She… She must be a genius!”


Even the piano teacher who had attended the famous ‘Berklee School of Music’ thought that she was a genius .


It had to be so .


Who wouldn’t be surprised if a 9-year-old girl that had only been learning piano for a week memorized not only all of the musical scores in the academy, but also all the notes on the piano?


That wasn’t even it .


She had a perfect pitch which allowed her to copy any song perfectly after listening to it once, confusing everyone on how such a genius came to be .


“Hey!”


One day, when the piano teacher had left for just a while, a girl called Park Seul-Gi suddenly shouted at Arshelly .


“How can I help you?”


Arshelly answered politely .


“You… you don’t have a dad, right?”


But Park Seul-Gi laughed .


“No . ”


Arshelly continued to respond calmly .


“I also have a wonderful dad . It’s just that he’s busy and can’t come to pick me up right now . ”


“Stop lying!”


“I’m not lying…”


“Ha! Be quiet . You don’t even have a dad . You liar . ”


“Hmm… you can think of it in that way if you want . Do as you like . ”


Arshelly spoke one last time to Park Seul-Gi, and put her fingers back on the piano .


“HEY!!”


Because Arshelly ignored her, Park Seul-Gi screamed in rage . She then . . .


“You little…”


Started grabbing onto Arshelly’s pitch-black hair…


“How dare you ignore me!”


“Oww…”


And started pulling .
