Chapter 323: Super Lucky Item
A sudden fight!
“Whoa…” Dorian’s mouth dropped as he watched the intense fight between Kang Chul-In and the Emperor of Blood and Iron.
“W-What the… both of them are… super strong…” He was the definition of surprised.
Kwang! Each attack that went back and forth was powerful enough to crush entire mountains. And their speed...
The heck… I can’t even see it properly…!
Their movements seemed like ghosts; it was almost impossible to chase after them with his eyes. Each small movement was fast enough to break the sound barrier. If anyone normal decided to fight against them, they wouldn’t even know what hit them.
Thanks to that…
Dammit… I can’t light a single candle next to them… Dorian became depressed once again.
I don’t understand…
Kang Chul-In was like a phantom. He was like that from their first meeting. At the beginning of the Great Summoning, Dorian was growing at a quick pace, but after meeting Kang Chul-In, he became a follower, not the one in the lead. He couldn’t catch up. Kang Chul-In was always a step ahead.
Shit… it’s hard to follow along… maybe I can catch up in about 50 years or so.
It was a mystery. Kang Chul-In was becoming stronger to no end. It was too bad that Dorian didn’t know that Kang Chul-In was a regressor and had a different starting point than everyone else, or that he himself was also incredibly skilled.
“Let’s stop.”
It was then...
“It’s only a waste of strength, reincarnation of mine.”
The Emperor of Blood and Iron put his fists down.
“That’s what you think.”
“I lost.”
“...?”
“So let’s stop.”
“Why should I?” Kang Chul-In was flabbergasted at the Emperor of Blood and Iron’s sudden surrender. “It was just about to get fun.”
He was feeling heated, but he wanted to quit now?
“It’s impossible to win.”
“Who? Me?”
“Me.”
“Why do you think that?”
“I am an existence of the past; it’s been a long while since my body and mind crumbled.”
“So?”
“How could I, the remains of the Emperor of Blood and Iron inside of the Ectoplasm Oversuit, defeat a living being like you?”
“...!”
“A fight between you and me is useless.”
Kang Chul-In didn’t hear the part about it being useless.
“Ectoplasm Oversuit?” All his attention was on the Ectoplasm Oversuit. “Are you saying you’re the Ectoplasm Oversuit?”
“Of course not.”
“...?”
“How could plain armor be able to carry out a conversation with you?”
“Then?”
“Didn’t I already say so?” The Emperor of Blood and Iron expressed his anger. “I used the Ectoplasm Oversuit as a vessel to contain a part of me.”
“Hmm… is it a type of possession?”
“Well, it’s similar, but I am a part of my memories from when I was alive.”
“...”
“Let’s stop with the complicated things here. Both of us will only just get headaches anyway.”
“Fine, let’s do that.” Kang Chul-In nodded. “I don’t like getting headaches either.”
“How smart.”
The expression of the two after they came to an agreement was similar.
Annoying things are the worst.
Dragging things out is annoying.
The two hated annoying things.
“Anyway.” Kang Chul-In began to move towards the Emperor of Blood and Iron. “The fight isn’t over.”
“...”
“Come at me, you lower-level ghost.”
Kang Chul-In clearly expressed his will to continue to fight. Why? It was because he wanted to teach the Emperor of Blood and Iron some manners (even though he wasn’t his actual body).
“I already said it’s useless.”
“That’s your problem.”
“Will you stop only after this suit is destroyed?”
“...!”
“You must want it... the greatest armor.”
“...” Kang Chul-In paused. “What kind of bullshit are you talking about?”
“It’s not bullshit.” The Emperor of Blood and Iron smirked. “I’m saying that there’s nothing you’ll get by beating me up.”
“How come?”
“I’m only a memory, so how can I feel pain?”
“...!”
“And this Ectoplasm Oversuit is an item that feeds on the mana and mind of its user. It’ll be destroyed after repetitive shock.”
“T-That’s…!”
“It hasn’t been able to absorb mana for at least a thousand years, so it’s in desperate need of some right now. Don’t do anything weird and step back.”
“Mm…!”
“No matter how much you fight, you’ll gain nothing. You’ll only lose this Ectoplasm Oversuit.”
Crunch! Kang Chul-In ground his teeth.
However, he didn’t attack the Emperor of Blood and Iron. It was because it was a waste.
***
“You never know.”
“...?”
“You might find the Ectoplasm Oversuit that the Emperor of Blood and Iron wore when he was alive.”
“Is that a good thing?”
“Of course! From what I know, there is no artifact greater than the Ectoplasm Oversuit in all of Pangaea.”
“Even Kaiforce and Mitra?”
“I guarantee that it’s superior to them.”
“...!”
“I have no idea what it’s made of although I once called myself the greatest blacksmith of all time.”
***
His conversation with Vulkan flashed through his head.
“Luck…”
Kang Chul-In took Kaiforce back in.
“You were lucky, lower-level ghost.”
“Right back at you.”
“...?”
“If I were alive, you would be dead already.”
“This bastard...?”
“Well, that won’t happen so don’t be too worried. I’m you and you’re me. We share the same soul, so there’s no way we’ll meet as complete beings.”
Shake, shake…!
Kang Chul-In held on tightly to his patience.
…Greed is the problem.
Normally, he would’ve attacked the Emperor of Blood and Iron regardless of whether he felt pain or not, but with the Ectoplasm Oversuit at stake, he couldn’t do that.
“Whew…”
“Let’s not cause a scene and do things smoothly.”
The Emperor of Blood and Iron sighed, then spoke amicably to Kang Chul-In.
“Do what?”
“That…”
“No.” Kang Chul-In cut him off. “Before that.”
“...?”
“I think you said it earlier.”
“What?”
