NovelOnline“I’ll beat him up.” Kang Chul-In turned towards the sewers to punish the Emperor of Blood and Iron, putting Dorian in front of him.
“I’m being serious...” action
“What are you talking about?”
“That Emperor of Blood and Iron guy is really strong.”
“Stop pulling my leg.”
“I’m being serious!”
“It’s because you’re weak.” Dorian and Kang Chul-In grumbled with each other while heading towards the sewers.
“Fine.” Dorian said, deciding to pull out his final card.
“What’s fine?”
“Let’s make a bet.”
“Bet...?”
“Yeah.” Dorian nodded.
“What kind of bet?”
“If I’m right or if you’re right.”
“You’ll probably lose though.”
“I’ll win! The Emperor of Blood and Iron is stronger than you! I couldn’t get a single punch in!”
Dorian’s statement wasn’t baseless. Even though Kang Chul-In was strong and Dorian was a pushover, when the two of them went at it, it was hard for the winning rate to be 100%.
It was about 9:1. Of course, Kang Chul-In was likely to win by about 90%, but the 10% wasn’t something to look down on. To be honest, Kang Chul-In didn’t think he could defeat Dorian in a fight without allowing a single punch from him. Of course, he wouldn’t allow it to be a critical one.
There’s some kind of trick to it.
However, Kang Chul-In didn’t even consider that the Emperor of Blood and Iron was the real one. The Emperor of Blood and Iron died. A thousand years ago, at that. If he hadn’t died, he wouldn’t have called Kang Chul-In his reincarnation.
There were two possibilities.
An excellent shadow that can use force.
Or,
A doppelganger that can defeat even a loser.
That was as far as Kang Chul-In knew.
Well... that Emperor of Blood and Iron probably has some kind of temper... I wonder if he can use Oraclomind?
Also, Kang Chul-In was thinking with his smart brain that the Emperor of Blood and Iron could use the Oraclomind. It was a reasonable guess.
It’ll still be a fake though.
Kang Chul-In was confident.
“Well, fine.”Kang Chul-In accepted Dorian’s offer. “Let’s do it.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
“You can’t go back on your word.”
“Don’t make me repeat myself.”
“O-Okay...”
“What will you bet?”
“Hmm... gold is the best, right?”
“Sure.”
Yes, money. The best thing to raise the stakes was gold.
“How much are you gonna bet?”
“Hmmm... 50,000?”
“100,000.”
“...!”
“Or 150,000?”
“H-Heek!?” Dorian gasped at the unbelievable amount. 150,000 gold wasn’t an easy amount of money to attain, even if one was an Overlord.
“Why, are you scared because the money is too much?” That was how sure he was. He was planning on taking everything from Dorian that he could get. “Well, if you’re scared we can stop.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“...!”
“On top of being a pushover, you’re a scaredy-cat. Sounds about right.”
His mocking continued.
Tremble, tremble...!
Dorian’s body shook.
“I-It’s true I’m a pushover but I’m not a scaredy-cat!”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Then let’s do the bet.”
“T-That’s...”
“So you were a scaredy-cat like I thought...”
“Let’s do it!” Dorian shouted. “Let’s do it! Do it! I have money too!”
“You’re being serious?”
“Yeah!”
“Hmm... you’re sure you won’t regret it?”
“Yeah.”
“Good.” Kang Chul-In smirked. “You’re pretty gutsy,”
“Humph!”
“Oh, and also.”
“Hm?”
“Call Moth and tell her to get the money ready.”
“What?”
“You’re gonna lose.”
Kang Chul-In put on his classic evil smile and walked past him.
“That...!” Dorian followed Kang Chul-In with an angry face. “Wait and see, Kang Chul-In... saying I’m a liar... humph...!”
Dorian was really angry this time. However, he was missing something important.
No one who told Kang Chul-In to “wait and see” had been able to smile at the end!
***
I-Is this death...!?
Milenius felt the fear of death for the first time while being gripped by Saturnus. He had never felt it before. Milenius always turned back time when he was in dangerous situations and extended his life. It was impossible for death to touch him, but it was different this time.
“Kuk... what a fun bastard...” Strangely, his skill wasn’t working at the moment. “You dare to attempt to play with time under my territory?”
“...!”
“Very funny...”
Milenius wasn’t able to say anything from the shock.
“But...” That is, until Saturus began to speak the “very shocking truth.”
“You overlooked one thing, foreign being.”
“K-Kuk..!”
“Maybe you can bring me back under another appearance, but resurrecting me?”
“...!”
“No matter how talented you are at playing with time, you didn’t really think you could break the rules of the Underworld, hm?”
“W-What are you...!?”
“Foolish bastard.” Saturnus scoffed at Milenius. “I am someone from the true hell, ‘■■■■■.’”
Beep...
Milenius couldn’t hear the “■■■■■” that Saturnus was talking about. This was because what Saturnus was saying wasn’t something beyond their planet but beyond their dimension.
W-What is this...!
However, he was sure of one thing. There was no doubt that he, an Agnaga, had summoned something that he shouldn’t have.
“And...” Saturnus continued with a vicious smile. “You know that the moment you called me here, the time paradoxes you’ve been causing won’t be happening anymore, right?”
“...!”
“Also...” What he said after was even scarier. “You will pay the price for that.”
“W-What kind... kuk...!”
“Hell.”
“...!”
“You’ll be trapped in the true hell, ■■■■■, where those who broke the laws of dimensions go, and forever be in pain.”
“...!”
“Foolish being, look into my eyes.”
“Uk...!”
Milenius tried to avoid looking into Saturnus’ eyes. He felt like he shouldn’t look into them. However... Saturnus turned Milenius’s head with his powerful grip.
“...!”
The surprised Milenius ended up looking into his eyes without even getting the chance to close them.
Shiver!
At that moment,
“H-Hik!?”
Milenius saw something in those eyes.
T-This is...!
It was most definitely an image of ■■■■■.
“Ack!”
“Kek, hahahaha...”
“Aaaaaaack!”
“Haha...!”
“Aaaaaaack...! S-Save meeeeeee!”
Just what had he seen? Milenius screamed like he was being tortured.
“Can you see hell? The ■■■■■?”
“Kuk... aaaaack!”
“Enjoy it all you want, you foolish being!”
“Kuk... huk... huuukk...!”
“It’s where you’ll go after you die so enjoying it before then will be a great experience.”
“Huk...!”
After a while.
“H-Huk... huk...!”
Milenius panted after barely escaping from the fear.
“Do you know your place now?”
“Huk... huk...”
“Kneel.”
“...!”
“You’ve called me into this world, so you must become my servant, no?”
Their positions were changed. Saturnus’ existence was greater and more evil than what Milenius had thought, and now he wasn’t able to control his own creation. The cart was put before the horse.
“Kuk...”
“Why, you don’t want to?” Saturnus pressured Milenius. “Guess you want to go to ■■■■■ now, hm?”
“T-That’s...!”
“You’ve already broken the rules of dimensions, and the moment you die, you will be locked in ■■■■■.”
“...!”
“Do you want to go there faster?”
“N-No, sir!”
“Then choose.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“...!”
“If you’ll become my servant and postpone being locked in there, or...”
“I-I’ll do it!” The fearful Milenius bowed at Saturnus’s feet. “I-I will become your servant... y-your faithful servant...! Oh, master...!”
“Kuk...”
“Just not death...!”
“Fine.” Saturnus nodded with a satisfied expression. “You should do that, you lowly being.”
“Yes, sir...”
“But...”
“Please speak, master...”
“Where am I, and how much time has passed since I died?”
“That’s...”
“Is my son, Julius, still alive?”
That was what he was most curious about. Whether his son, the 27th emperor of the Ancient Empire, was still alive.
“Master...” Milenius replied. “As I already said, it has been a thousand years...”
“Time has no meaning to my cute son.”
Saturnus was right. Resurrection, reincarnation, and regression... to Julius, who had these three powers, a thousand years wasn’t a big deal.
“That’s...”
“...?”
“There is someone who’s assumed to be the reincarnation of your son...”
Milenius began to speak about Kang Chul-In’s tales.
***
In the Esmeralda territory, under the sewers, where the grave of the Emperor of Blood and Iron was thought to be...
“Have you come?”
The Emperor of Blood and Iron greeted Kang Chul-In.
“Coming all the way here, as expected of my reincarnation.”
“...”
“Have you been well?”
He was speaking in a friendly tone.
“Shut up with the fake greetings.”
However, Kang Chul-In rejected the Emperor of Blood and Iron’s greetings.
“How sensitive.”
“You’re not even human, so why bother with greetings?”
“Not human?”
“A cyborg?”
“...!”
“No, you’re not a cyborg either. I’ve never seen something that’s made up like you are.”
Kang Chul-In’s insight was sharp. His Oraclomind allowed him to see the general identity of the Emperor of Blood and Iron.
“Well, anyway.”
“...”
“It doesn’t matter what you are.”
“It doesn’t matter?”
“Of course not.”
Kang Chul-In nodded.
“Then what does?”
“Do I have to say it myself?”
“That’s why I asked, reincarnation of mine.”
It was then.
Kashing!
Kaiforce began to speed towards the Emperor of Blood and Iron. Fists over words. Kang Chul-In’s dirty temperament had raised its head.
