Subject: Kang Chul-In, the Supreme King of the West / Overlord Dorian Explorer / Overlord Hecate
* Caution: Other people cannot meet the legendary blacksmith .
* Caution: The legendary blacksmith is extremely violent and eccentric, hence always remember that your life may be in danger .
An interesting reward, indeed .
Immortal-rank weapon huh… did such a rank even exist before?
Even Kang Chul-In, who had returned to the past, had never heard of such an item in existence . Until now, he had thought that ‘Epic’ was the highest rank . In that case, wouldn’t that mean that his items could be upgraded to perform even better?
You wanna fight me with those ‘unawakened’ toys? Hold your horses, you bastard . Even your body is in a complete wreck .
Suddenly, Kang Chul-In recalled Desdemona’s words . ‘Unawakened’ toys . They undoubtedly referred to Kaiforce and Mitra .
“Kang Chul-In!”
Suddenly .
Bang!
Dorian Explorer kicked the door of the Lord’s hall open and made his grand appearance .
“You bastard!”
Dorian shouted at Kang Chul-In .
“How could you do that!? Huh!?”
“ . . . ?”
“They might have been your enemies, but they were still humans! How could you slaughter them like farm animals!?”
It seemed like he had watched the video of ‘Kang Chul-In’ assassinating Vilhelm and Ao Xin .
“And you still dare to ask for my help, huh? What about our promise . . . ”
“Please . ”
Kang Chul-In waved his hand, as if he were too tired to entertain Dorian .
“Everyone knows already, stop overreacting . ”
“Huh?”
“Do you really think that I’m that perverted psychopath in the video?”
“Y-You aren’t?”
“Idiot . ”
“Really!?”
Dorian looked around at his audience .
They were . . .
“Tsk… that idiot . . . ”
“How could an idiot like him become an Overlord?”
“So tactless . . . ”
“Pathetic . . . ”
The subjects of the Valhalla Kingdom were criticizing Dorian, loud enough for him to hear .
“N-No…? Hmm… i-it looked like you to me… welp . . . ”
Dorian scratched his head .
“Screw it… I will just stay quiet . . . ”
He then slowly walked towards the subjects and hid himself in the crowd . It was difficult to live with such a lack of sense .
“Kang Chul-In?”
At that moment, Hecate also joined in on the meeting and remarked .
“Crazy, huh?”
“What are you referring to?”
Kang Chul-In was puzzled .
“I didn’t know that you kill your victims so brutally . I was amazed actually . How scared were Vilhelm and Ao Xin? I’m impressed . Well done, Kang Chul-In . A man has to show his worth sometimes, doesn’t he?”
An even worse response than Dorian’s .
“It’s my style… heung . . . ”
“What if I didn’t do it?”
“That’s why . . . ”
Kang Chul-In denied the allegations, but Hecate ignored him and continued her sentence .
“Can we do it just once?”
“ . . . ”
“I’m really curious to see how a man like you behaves in bed . In fact, I’m about to go crazy with curiosity . So just once . I’m a valuable ally in your battles, aren’t I? Please?”
Even a third-rate gangster wouldn’t make such a dirty request . The problem was that… Hecate was being 100% sincere .
She hasn’t changed at all .
Kang Chul-In had to massage his throbbing head while he dealt with Hecate, who didn’t give a damn about his feelings or embarrassment .
“Please . ”
“No . ”
“Just once . ”
“Still no . ”
“Hey! You are a man, so why are you playing so hard to get?”
The meaningless conversation persisted .
“Hey there, you insane lady . ”
Finally, Ninetails had to step in .
“How dare you flirt with my husband?”
Flick!
Ninetails had all nine of her tails flared out in an intimidating fashion . In addition, she had a murderous gaze in her eyes .
“Do you want to be punished?”
Lee Chae-Rin also held her money pay item up and threatened Hecate .
And . . .
“Do you know what this is?”
Skadi hissed, with a doll in one hand and an awl in the other . It was obvious that she was about to place a curse on Hecate .
“How ironic . ”
Hecate snorted and faced Kang Chul-In’s wives .
“So you all can share him around but I can’t?”
A cutting remark!
Kang Chul-In’s wives froze in place, the subjects turned their heads away in embarrassment and Kang Chul-In himself had to cover his face with his hands in humiliation .
“Oh?”
Of course, some were persuaded by Hecate’s argument .
“Actually, she’s right . What’s wrong . . . ”
“Bam!”
The throne made from the Gold Dragon’s horn smacked Dorian’s forehead .
“E-Eek . . . ”
Dorian gasped for air and fainted soon after . His big mouth was always the root of all problems .
“I won’t steal him . ”
Hecate, however, didn’t pay any attention to the commotion and continued with her speech .
“Let me have a taste . Why not? It’s not like he is exhausted . . . ”
At that moment . . .
Bang!
Kang Chul-In crashed into the window with a huge sound .
“ . . . !”
Kang Chul-In was shocked for a moment .
He had to clear the Awakening Quest, upgrade his skills, and escape from this dilemma before the war with the Gullveig Alliance . He tried to escape through the window, as per usual . However . . .
“What kind of window is this…?”
It didn’t shatter . It was a strange phenomenon indeed . Usually, even tempered glass wouldn’t be able to withstand Kang Chul-In’s body slam .
“Huhu . . . ”
At that moment, a cunning laughter echoed in the hall .
“Your Majesty… you shouldn’t be underestimating me… Huhuhu… You have broken so many windows up until now, so I can’t just do nothing about that . ”
The treasurer of the Valhalla Kingdom, Timothy, made a satisfied grin .
“T-Timothy!”
“Huehue… your Majesty… that window was specially ordered and made by me . . . ”
“W-Was that really necessary…?”
“Of course . ”
“ . . . ?”
“How many windows have you broken so far? Not only that, but they were made out of top-class glass made by master artisans, with window frames made from the best wood . ”
“I-Is that so…?”
“That’s not all . The stained glass was personally fabricated by Leonardo, the royal artist of Fox Valley . It is priceless! Do you know how much damage has been caused so far? It’s 8,312 gold to be exact!”
8,312 gold . That amounted to 2,829,323 USD . In other words, Kang Chul-In could have easily bought a few apartment flats if he didn’t break the glass windows!
“W-What…!?”
“Huhu… it was extremely difficult to see your Majesty destroy the windows when the nation was already running low on finances . ”
“ . . . ”
“So I prepared that window… it is 50 times stronger than a normal glass window… plus that elasticity is amazing . In addition, Sir Nilus and Ms . Arshelly have casted a spell to increase its durability… huhuhu . . . ”
“To that extent…!”
Kang Chul-In was taken aback . He had not expected Timothy’s comeback . Who would have thought that he could put an end to Kang Chul-In’s bad habit of ‘escaping through the smashed window’?
“Sir Timothy… you are quite fearsome . . . ”
“Keuh… as expected from this nation’s treasurer!”
Some subjects exclaimed in awe . Nobody could suppress Kang Chul-In in Valhalla except for Timothy .
“Your Majesty… it’s time to give up . . . ”
Timothy was about to ask Kang Chul-In to surrender, when . . .
Chulkuk! Kaiforce began to shapeshift into a club . Or rather, to be exact, a mace .
Bang! Kang Chul-In swung the mace at Timothy’s prized window with great strength .
Crack! The window shattered into a million pieces .
“N-No!”
Timothy was crestfallen .
“Y-Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty!”
“Where are you going!?”
“The expedition is due tomorrow morning, your Majesty! Please maintain your composure…!”
The shocked subjects struggled to hold Kang Chul-In back, but he had already disappeared beyond the shattered window .
“I will visit Mt . Hephai first and join you all at Venedig!”
His voice echoed .
“Huh?”
Dorian Explorer got his senses together .
“H-Hey, let me tag along too!”
He jumped out of the window after Kang Chul-In . It was because of the quest . Dorian could reap the juicy rewards if he just tagged along with Kang Chul-In .
“That idiot is smarter than he looks, huh?”
Having said that, Hecate also followed suit .
“ . . . ”
The rest remained silent .
“No…! No…!”
Only Timothy’s despair could be heard in the Lord’s hall .
***
In Bifrost, in the Pentagon, also known as the headquarters of the Gullveig Alliance . . .
“I, the Heavenly Queen of the North, wish to be the next chairman of the Gullveig Alliance . ”
Mei Ling got hold of the alliance in a flash .
“Any objections?”
How could there be? The woman in the chairman’s seat was no longer weak and pitiful . She was now the ruler of Bifrost and the Red Valley, and the second monarch after Kang Chul-In . Furthermore . . .
“Everyone . ”
Andrei Ivanovic spoke .
“Didn’t the Heavenly Queen of the North ask a question?”
That wasn’t all .
“Is everyone mute?”
The King of the Ocean, Neptune Spear, joined in to coerce the Lords .
“T-That’s not it . . . ”
“A vote . . . ”
“Hmm . . . ”
The Lords hesitated . As members of the Gullveig Alliance, this was a tricky situation to be in, but that was to be expected . Mei Ling was previously labelled the traitor who had let Kang Chu-In into the Pentagon . They didn’t expect her to turn into a queen overnight . Moreover, the Lords didn’t think that she would receive support from Overlord Andrei Ivanovic and Neptune Spear .
“I, Kwak Jun – the representative of his Majesty, Vito Clemenza – agree to her Majesty . ”
Suddenly, Kwak Jun came forward .
***
Kang Chul-In, who had penetrated through Timothy’s defense, dashed towards the east .
A good opportunity .
He had wanted to upgrade his specs before his face-off with the Gullveig Alliance .
“W-Wait for me!”
Dorian’s voice could be heard from afar .
“Can you stop for a while? Y-You are too fast . ”
Hecate’s sharp voice could also be heard .
“Follow me with the best of your abilities, then!”
Kang Chul-In refused to slow down .
Time is gold .
He was already so busy . It was imperative for him to clear the quest immediately and then join his army to conquer Esmeralda .
