Novel Bin Chapter 263
“Arghhhhh!”
Kang Chul-In had just finished his battle preparations when Rothschild let out a piercing, agonizing scream .
Chuk, chuk!
His pale white skin cracked open .
Crack, crack!
With a horrifying sound, Rothschild continued to bulk up and transform .
This is!
Kang Chul-In was taken aback slightly .
A transformation .
Similar to Kaiforce, who was apparently a member of the demon race Agnaga, Rothschild was also transforming .
The only difference was the method in which they shapeshifted, as Kaiforce had curtained himself with a veil of dark energy .
I’ll cut your head off!
Kang Chul-In charged at Rothschild with a blinding speed and swung Kaiforce .
Charak!
Kaiforce changed its form to a saw blade and approached Rothschild’s neck .
“Argh!”
Rothschild’s eyes, which were bleeding profusely, began to emit a beam of light .
Bang!
With a tremendous sound,
“ . . . !”
Kang Chul-In was bounced quite a distance back .
An incredible power .
The strength in Rothschild’s forearm was incomparable to Kaiforce’s, whom he had fought in the past .
“Harh?”
Kang Chul-In re-established his battle stance and grinned .
“Seems like you’ve gone the whole hog?”
It was a clear tone of condescension .
Rothschild’s current strength was not a product of his hard work . In fact, he had even given up his humanity to claim it .
Moreover, he had abandoned his pride as a sovereign . How pitiful was that?
“Keke!”
Rothschild snickered in response .
“Surprised? Hehehe!”
“ . . . ”
“I will do anything to kill you, you bastard . Kekeke! I even… killed… my own father, because of you, Kang Chul-In . You stole everything from me – Lee Gong-Myung, father, my family’s trust and my future . All because of you!”
Rothschild bellowed at Kang Chul-In .
“…This bastard is really crazy . ”
Kang Chul-In mumbled in absurdity .
Was Rothschild really blaming him for all those mishaps?
No sane person would spew such bullshit .
Their bad relationship in the past aside, Rothschild was the first to point a sword at Kang Chul-In . It was true that the latter had triggered the former, but he did not use violence .
No, with all else aside, did Kang Chul-In ever order Rothschild to kill his own father?
Rothschild’s story had zero credibility and logic .
“Yes, I’ve gone crazy . Really crazy… Kekeke!”
Rothschild nodded his head and grinned .
“But… so what…? Now I can finally kill you . ”
The confidence .
Rothschild seemed to believe that he could murder Kang Chul-In in this very setting .
“Keke, prepare to die, Kang Chul-In . . . ”
Crack!
With that, Rothschild’s transformation came to an end .
Ssssss . . . !
Steaming black skin .
Eyes with black sclera .
A muscular body even superior to that of an ogre’s .
Thorns on his elbows, knees, shoulders… all over his body .
And an unknown mucus flowing down the skin .
Rothschild resembled a demon, or a monster after the transformation .
“Hehe… I am… going to kill you today… and crunch on your bones and flesh… and drink your blood . . . ”
“Oh, how scary!”
Kang Chul-In said sarcastically .
“I’m about to shit in my pants . Do you want me to get spare underwear?”
“Go on, continue to laugh… you will be my prey in the end… keke! And . . . ”
Rothschild’s eyes flashed .
“Your wives… they married the wrong man… keke… even your daughter… I will . . . ”
Rothschild was about to continue his sentence . . .
Grasp!
When Kang Chul-In, who had instantly closed the distance between him and Rothschild, grabbed Rothschild by his collar .
“You need some bashing, bastard . ”
Kang Chul-In snarled .
There was an old myth that a dragon had one reverse scale that grew in the opposite direction . A great catastrophe awaited whoever touched that scale .
Similarly, Rothschild had triggered something that he shouldn’t have .
For Kang Chul-In’s case, his reverse scale was his family, mother, wives and Arshelly!
Bam!
Kang Chul-In’s fist landed on Rothschild’s chin . He had already let go of Kaiforce and Mitra .
“Kuhuk!”
Rothschild’s neck twisted backwards .
His bloody teeth were also sent flying into the sky .
“You bastard . ”
Bam!
“Let’s see . ”
Bam!
“How long . ”
Bam!
“You can . ”
Bam!
“Continue to . ”
Bam!
“Talk bullshit . ”
Bam!
Six intermittent punches . Rothschild could not fight back at all .
“Cough!”
Rothschild vomited a profuse amount of blood .
“H-How!?”
He was shocked .
Rothschild couldn’t fathom this situation .
He had even given up humanity to obtain this strength . He could even withstand a dragon’s attack, but Kang Chul-In’s punches were akin to atomic bombs .
“Coming to your senses now?”
Kang Chul-In laughed cunningly .
He was proving that clubbing was the best solution for rabid dogs .
“K-Kang Chul-In…!”
“Actually, I shouldn’t give you room to breathe . Let me beat you into a pulp . ”
With that,
Pzzt, pzzzzt!
An intense burst of sparks began to surround Kang Chul-In’s body .
That wasn’t all .
He emitted energy like an active volcano .
An incomparable strength!
He had activated the third phase of Overdrive, the secret to breaking through limits!
“Say your prayers, you bastard . ”
Kang Chul-In threw his punches at Rothschild . He wanted to show his nemesis the strength of the triggered Supreme King .
He was not going to forget his revenge for the past!
***
While Rothschild had left Cyamodus to hunt the Gold Dragon, a commotion occurred in the territory .
It was to be expected .
Wouldn’t it be shocking to see someone come back from the dead? Nobody knew what was going on .
“Lee… Tactician Lee…!”
Akül couldn’t believe his eyes .
Lee Gong-Myung, who had been murdered by Kang Chul-In, had appeared in front of him .
“Akül . ”
Lee Gong-Myung nodded slightly .
“It’s been a while . ”
“ . . . ”
“How have you been?”
“Tactician Lee… h-how… I-I can’t . . . ”
“Long story . I will tell his Majesty privately about my current physical status . ”
“Ah, okay… I see . . . ”
Akül replied rather coldly . He didn’t appreciate Lee Gong-Myung’s attitude .
“Where is his Majesty?”
Lee Gong-Myung paid no attention to that .
His first action was to look for Rothschild .
“His Majesty is absent . ”
“Where did he go? Is he back in his main family? Or . . . ”
“I can’t tell you . ”
“I beg your pardon?”
“His Majesty is a sovereign who rules over this territory . His whereabouts are confidential . I can’t spill the information to outsiders . ”
“Akül, what are you talking . . . ”
“Tactician Lee . ”
“ . . . ?”
“No, Mr . Lee Gong-Myung . ”
Akül replied bluntly .
“You were declared dead and we even had a state funeral . ”
“ . . . ”
“And because of that, the tactician seat is officially unoccupied currently . ”
“What’s your point…?”
“Hey, Mr . Lee Gong-Myung . I know you are smart, but why can’t you take the hint?”
“ . . . ”
“Do I really need to say it out loud? You, Lee Gong-Myung, are an outsider . I can’t reveal his Majesty’s whereabouts to any explorer . ”
A clear hostility .
Akül was hardly overjoyed to see Lee Gong-Myung alive . In fact, he was irritated .
“Those words, can you take responsibility?”
Lee Gong-Myung inquired in a cold voice .
“When his Majesty returns, how is he going to react . . . ”
“Who knows?”
“ . . . !”
“Will his Majesty – no, Rothschild, that crazy bastard, even hear about your return? Why don’t you think with that clever brain of yours?”
Akül’s attitude changed 180 degrees .
Not only was he looking down on Lee Gong-Myung, he was also portraying his master, Rothschild, as a mad man .
How dare you try to come back?
Akül’s intention was clear, and it wasn’t totally absurd .
If Rothschild, that bastard, comes to realize that you are back, he will treat me poorly again . Do you think I will let that happen, Lee Gong-Myung?
Akül, who had been living as Rothschild’s number one faithful dog, could hardly appreciate Lee Gong-Myung’s return . He had been the number two in Cyamodus for quite some time now .
Furthermore, his survival depended on whether he could keep his position .
He knew that Lee Gong-Myung would render him useless, and Rothschild the tyrant could cut his head off any day .
In other words, Akül was displaying hostility mainly for his survival and secondarily for his thirst for power .
“Akül, you dare to get off after mocking his Majesty?”
Lee Gong-Myung’s voice was cold and apathetic .
“Well, that’s only if you manage to meet Rothschild . ”
“ . . . ”
“Your return will be made confidential, and that crazy bastard will never guess your whereabouts . Also . . . ”
Akül snickered .
“You are going to die twice . . . ”
At that instant,
Plack!
Lee Gong-Myung’s hand moved at lightning speed and penetrated Akül’s heart .
“Kuhuk!”
“Continue talking . ”
“L-Lee Gong-Myung! You bastard…!”
“You thought trash like you could kill me, who overcame even death just for his Majesty?”
“ . . . !”
“Nobody… can insult his Majesty… Akül… you disloyal trash . . . ”
An intimidating speech .
It carried an intense animosity and rage .
“G… guards . . . ”
“Shh . ”
“Kuhuk . . . ”
“I will eat you up without a trace…”
“ . . . !”
“Completely . . . ”
Lee Gong-Myung was clearly referring to the act of cannibalism .
“W-What are you talking about…!?”
“Well, who knows . ”
Immediately,
Crunch!
Lee Gong-Myung’s mouth tore widely open and bit onto Akül’s neck without mercy .
Crunch, crunch!
It was the beginning of a ‘feast’ .
