The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 166






Become his subordinate?


. . . That was absolutely ridiculous .


The relationship between Lee Gong-Myung and Alex Rothschild was akin to that of Kang Chul-In and Alfred .


As proof of this, in the past when Alex Rothschild had fallen to the bottom multiple times, Lee Gong-Myung had never left his lord . He had always kept his loyalty .


To Lee Gong-Myung, Kang Chul-In’s offer was mocking him . It was taking Lee Gong-Myung’s loyalty towards Alex Rothschild lightly .


But Kang Chul-In needed to keep Lee Gong-Myung busy for the time being .


Why?


It’s the full moon…


It was because of the moon behind Lee Gong-Myung’s back .


As long as he was able to activate this ability that he had absorbed from Alaric, he would be able to get out of this canyon alive .


Even ignoring the increase in defense and damage, the increase in regeneration would definitely be able to get his mana and stamina back to normal .


Not only would he manage to get out of here alive, he could also manage to strike back against Lee Gong-Myung .


But maybe it was because the moon wasn’t fully up, or maybe because the fog was blocking the moonlight, but the ‘Full Moon’ ability didn’t activate .


Due to this, Kang Chul-In decided to ramble on about Lee Gong-Myung joining him and wasted some time .


[The full moon is rising… 99 . 8% . . . ]


[The full moon is rising… 99 . 9% . . . ]


Thanks to this, Kang Chul-In was able to buy enough time .


While he was doing that,


You’re thinking of hitting me with thunder, aren’t you, Lee Gong-Myung?


Kang Chul-In was able to guess what Lee Gong-Myung would do .


Even though Lee Gong-Myung was truly a smart person, Kang Chul-In had something that was even better than that, which was knowledge from the past .


Kang Chul-In was aware that Lee Gong-Myung’s abilities were what earned him the nickname of ‘Weather Controller’ .


He also knew that Lee Gong-Myung was able to summon thunder in order to strike a certain area . It was a pattern that he had experienced countless times in his previous life .


It won’t work, though .


Funnily enough, Kang Chul-In had just absorbed the ‘Spellthirst’ ability from Sheville Polansky . He wouldn’t take any damage from the blast of lightning .


Actually, it was good for him .


Electricity?


He could take it while laughing .


As long as he had the Spellthirst ability, there was no need to fear Lee Gong-Myung’s abilities .


Sorry, but… looks like I’ll have to activate my trap card .


Before the Full Moon ability was activated, Kang Chul-In smiled .


Kang Chul-In felt excited .


Since he had a way to completely negate all of Lee Gong-Myung’s cards and reverse the situation, he was naturally excited .



After all, it brought him immense joy since he was able to strike a blow against the famed genius strategist that was Lee Gong-Myung .


-----


A white flash streaked past the soldiers, and almost 1 billion volts struck Kang Chul-In head-on .


BANG!


With a terrifyingly loud noise that seemed to be able to rip apart the eardrums of a human, tens of thousands of sparks started to fly around the narrow canyon . It was truly a terrifying and peculiar sight .


“What is…”


“The lightning… isn’t touching us?”


The soldiers of Anatolia couldn’t come to their senses immediately .


It was a strange phenomenon .


Even though the aftershock of the lightning caused immense energy to surge up, the soldiers of Anatolia weren’t harmed at all . They hadn’t been affected whatsoever .


“What’s going on…”


“I thought for sure I was dead…”


Unaware of what just happened, the soldiers tilted their heads in confusion .


“Don’t tell me…”


At that moment, the eyes of one of the soldiers widened, as if he had realized something .


“The reason that strategist Lee had told us not to move… Was it because of this? This was all his doing?”


And as proof,


“L-Look over there…”


“They’re dead…”


Some of the soldiers that didn’t follow Lee Gong-Myung’s orders and stepped somewhere else had turned into ash .


“Amazing… I wonder just how powerful strategist Lee is…”


The soldiers of Anatolia were extremely shocked and praised Lee Gong-Myung’s abilities .


“Why are you so surprised?”


But at that moment, a voice of someone that shouldn’t be alive was heard .


“ . . . !”


“ . . . !”


“ . . . !”


And the faces of the soldiers started to stiffen in shock .


“H-How…?”


“He’s alive… even after being hit by that?”


It wasn’t just the soldiers of Anatolia that were safe from the lightning strike .


“Feels like a massage . ”


Kang Chul-In murmured .


Pzzt, Pzzt!


Although Kang Chul-In didn’t activate Overdrive, sparks were flying all around his body . It was because he had absorbed the power from the lightning .


Amazing .


Kang Chul-In was shocked at his current state .


From head to toe, he felt incredible .


In this state, he could show off 60% of the power he could in his peak .


“Hu…”


Kang Chul-In sighed, and stared at Lee Gong-Myung .


“You… today is your funeral . ”


------


Lee Gong-Myung was so shocked that he couldn’t speak .


“What the…?”


Even though Lee Gong-Myung had terrifying foresight, he couldn’t see through the man that Kang Chul-In was .


Truth be told… he was even doubting whether Kang Chul-In was human or not .


“You… today is your funeral . ”


When he heard these words, Lee Gong-Myung realized he was in trouble .


Danger!


The Overlord Kang Chul-In was a man that had broken through the lines of the 10,000 man Anatolian army by himself, and survived .


He had also completely exterminated the elites of Baruk Al-Yusuf .


So when this terrifying man stared at him and declared that today was his funeral, Lee Gong-Myung panicked .


We have to break it!


At this moment, an idea popped up in Lee Gong-Myung’s head . This was the final card he had prepared .


“Use the detonator!”


Lee Gong-Myung shouted .


“Sorry?”


The soldiers that had the detonator asked Lee Gong-Myung .


“T-There are 2,000 of our allies down there…”


“We will all die!”


“ . . . !”


“If we don’t kill Kang Chul-In right now, we will all die together! Is that what you want!?”


“O-Okay…”


Even though the soldier hesitated, he didn’t disobey Lee Gong-Myung’s orders . He also didn’t want to die .


Bang!


An explosion occurred,


Bang! Bang!


And started to set off a chain reaction .


Finally,


The ground started to shake, and the canyon itself started to rumble, before rocks that were tens and hundreds of tons started to fall like meteors .


------


"Pfft-!"


But even still, Kang Chul-In was calm .


“You think I wouldn’t have guessed that you\'d do that?”


They say that a rabbit dug 3 holes just in case of danger .


And in Kang Chul-In’s eyes, Lee Gong-Myung wasn’t just a rabbit, but rather a sly fox .


It was as expected of Lee Gong-Myung to do something like this .


First, let’s get out…


Just as Kang Chul-In was about to jump up with Arshelly in his arms .


“Ah . Right . ”


A large figure was struggling to get control of its body because it was stuck under a boulder .


The appearance of it . . .


“ . . . Are you a chicken?”


With a little exaggeration, seemed like a giant chicken .


-Krr… .


It was the Altaica, who had lost all of its fur due to the lightning . It stared at Kang Chul-In pitifully, as if saying that it was done for, so he should run away .


“Idiot, it seems like you’ve spent too much time watching action movies . ”


Kang Chul-In laughed,


BANG-!


And destroyed the large boulder that was almost the size of a house .


“Lose… some weight . ”


Kang Chul-In held up the Altaica, on his shoulders .


Even though it looked quite comical due to how big the Altaica was… it didn’t matter to Kang Chul-In . They had to live first .


“Now, let’s go . ”


-Krr!


The Altaica roared happily, and Kang Chul-In’s body shot up like lightning .


There was no more time .


Tens of thousands of boulders were falling into the canyon .


“I-It’s collapsing!”


“Run!”


“W-We’re done for…”


BANG!


The rocks started to crush the soldiers of Anatolia .


Hmph, just falling rocks .


Meanwhile, Kang Chul-In continued to dodge the falling obstacles, and managed to jump onto a wall .


And,


Tat!


Kang Chul-In’s legs started to push off the wall,


“ . . . !”


Lee Gong-Myung, who was watching this,


“He’s… walking up the wall?”


Once again realized how terrifying Kang Chul-In was .


Kang Chul-In wasn’t climbing up the wall, but rather walked on it, as if he was talking a leisurely stroll . No matter how Lee Gong-Myung thought, this didn’t make sense . How did a human defy the laws of gravity?


But Kang Chul-In managed to do that, whilst carrying the Altaica, and holding Arshelly .


This is not the time to be surprised!


Lee Gong-Myung quickly snapped back to his senses, determined not to watch powerlessly as Kang Chul-In came up .


“Crossbows, ready!”


Lee Gong-Myung shouted .


Shii-!


50 crossbow bolts were fired, but none of them hit Kang Chul-In .


Finally, Kang Chul-In stood back up normally .


Tuk!


He had landed on flat ground now, and stood opposite to Lee Gong-Myung, with a cliff separating them .


“Huu…”


Kang Chul-In put down the Altaica, and breathed heavily . It wasn’t easy for even Kang Chul-In to run up a wall while holding 1 . 5 tons .


“Lose some weight, kitty-cat . ”


-Krr…


After saying this to the Altaica, Kang Chul-In once again turned towards Lee Gong-Myung .


“Lee Gong-Myung… let’s have a chat, shall we?”


Kang Chul-In laughed and spoke .


At that very moment, Lee Gong-Myung felt chills down his spine .


It was a complete failure .


Forget about killing Kang Chul-In . Lee Gong-Myung had to worry about his own safety first .
