The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Kang Chul-In Vs . Desdemona (2)

The first collision between Kang Chul-In and Desdemona was pretty rough for the former .

Throb . It was the first time in a while that he felt like his fist was being crushed . After all, Kang Chul-In’s fist was as strong as iron .

What is… the identity of this girl?

He couldn’t tell where she had come from . If she was that powerful, then she would’ve shown herself in his past life .

“Why, do you not want to fight now after tasting my fist?”

Desdemona spoke mockingly .

“It hurt, huh?”

“ . . . ”

“But you know… that was only a small part of the pain I felt, you hit-and-runner . ”

He couldn’t understand what she was saying . His driving style was staying within lines, obeying traffic laws, and always yielding to others, because his father had passed away from a traffic accident . So him, a hit-and-runner? There was no way he knew about the bullshit that Desdemona was talking about .

“Well, I can figure it out by beating you up . ”

However, Kang Chul-In didn’t try to understand what she was saying . He gripped Kaiforce in his right hand and Mitra in his left hand .

Dual-wielding .

It was the sword technique that he had trained in by using both the swords at the same time .

“It probably won’t work . ”

Desdemona was relaxed .

“You’re going to fight against me with toys that aren’t awakened yet? You child . And with your body in that condition?”

“ . . . !”

“You can’t even control your mana yet, and you want to do what?”

Surprisingly, Desdemona knew precisely that Kang Chul-In hadn’t finished absorbing the dragon heart . It was the sharp insight of a true dragon .

“Y-your Majesty . . . !”

It was then .

“Please move . . . !”

The one who hadn’t been spanked by Desdemona yet, general Drakan, got in between Kang Chul-In and Desdemona .

“Move?”

Kang Chul-In repeated, as if he couldn’t believe it .

“Drakan, are you telling me to run away from that girl?”

“Yes, your Majesty . . . !”

“ . . . ”

“If you don’t move, you won’t be safe . . . !”

Kang Chul-In was speechless because Drakan was speaking like it was expected that he should move . It was ridiculous . A warrior of the draconian species was suggesting that his Lord run away? It was a situation that he couldn’t imagine . However, Drakan was just trying to be faithful .

How can I watch you die right in front of me!?

His loyalty in trying to save his Lord was genuine . That was why he was getting in the way of a true dragon .

“Your Majesty, that girl is not human!”

“Not human?”

“She’s a dragon!”

“ . . . !”

“Not a normal dragon either, but the gold dragon from the legends is that girl!”

That was also something he couldn’t understand . A dragon? The only dragons that Kang Chul-In knew were large lizards with wings, not cute girls like her .

Could it be?

Just then, there was a thought that flashed through Kang Chul-In’s brain . Actually, rather than a thought flashing through his head, he suddenly remembered an old book called [Book of Higher Beings in Pangaea] . Its contents were the following:

Dragon:

The strongest being . Their lifespan is about 10,000 years . Their abilities are so out of this world that a human cannot dare to follow them, and they were skilled in all types of magic through this superior knowledge, and can even use the Level-12 magic that humans cannot .

There isn’t anything known about what they eat, and it is agreed by scientists that it is impossible to find what it is with human abilities .

(There are some who say that dragons enjoy polymorphing into humans, but nothing is confirmed about this)

Could it be… that girl is a real dragon who appeared in that old novel? If what Drakan said was true, that seemed to be the only likely reason . It was because in that book, there was also information about “fake dragons . ”

Drake:

A subspecies of dragons . They look similar to dragons (a dragon is at least 1 . 5 times larger), but they do not have a dragon heart and their intellect is only as much as a lizard’s, so they cannot use magic .

Was that true?

It seemed right . If she was a dragon and the guy that he believed was a dragon was actually a drake, it made sense .

“Ah . ”

It was Desdemona who confirmed Drakan’s words and Kang Chul-In’s guesses .

“Hey, lizard? Not only did you reveal my identity, but you dare to block my way? With a gold dragon like me in front of you?”

She was basically saying “I’m the real dragon!”

“Your Majesty!”

Drakan didn’t surrender at Desdemona’s threat .

“Please get out of the way! I’ll try to stall for some time!”

Right now, Drakan’s head was only filled with Kang Chul-In’s survival .

He could overcome his fears!

Draconians were more faithful towards their Lords than fearful of dragons .

“I-Is that true!”

Amur burst up .

“That child is a real . . . !”

“I don’t have time to explain! You hurry on too!”

Drakan tried to convince Amur to escape as well, but Amur’s faithfulness didn’t fall short to Drakan’s .

“What are you talking about!? I’m also a servant of His Majesty, so how can I not protect His Majesty!”

“Y-your Majesty!”

“Please hurry up!”

“I’ll open a path for you!”

“Your Majesty, quick!”

The same went for the others . A few of them were confused about Drakan’s statement, but they also realized that they couldn’t stay laying down while Kang Chul-In was in danger .

“Hey, look at you . ”

Desdemona grinned .

“Are you all writing a play together? Hm? Hilarious . ”

She was talking about them like they were pathetic . Her eyes were filled with an arrogance that only strong people could have .

I am strong, and you are weak . It was like she was saying, “kneel, you insects!”

“Ke…”

For the first time in his life, Kang Chul-In felt what true fury was .

“I feel horrible today . ”

Of course he would . Kang Chul-In was the definition of arrogance . Kang Chul-In, who was as arrogant as Desdemona, was humiliated by the situation . Some girl was acting out, and his servants were saying they would save him from her, so of course Kang Chul-In would be furious .

“Everyone move…”

A dark voice escaped his mouth .

“While I’m being nice about it…”

However, Drakan didn’t seem to want to listen .

“Your Majesty . . . !”

Drakan screamed .

“The land that you established is only…”

“Drakan . ”

A low but raging voice came from Kang Chul-In .

“What do you see me as?”

“Y-your Majesty!”

“Move . ”

“However, Your Majesty, didn’t I…”

Before Drakan could finish, he was blown away by Kang Chul-In’s fist .

Kwang!

“ . . . !”

Everyone was surprised .

“Anyone . . . ”

Kang Chul-In announced .

“If anyone blocks me… I’ll cut you down without a word, so keep that in mind . ”

It was a great amount of pride . It was the spirit of one who had calmly met his death in his past life .

“Huh . ”

Desdemona mocked him again with a smirk .

“You’re gonna die if you…”

It was then .

Chrwak!

There was a flashing light, and

Swoosh…!

A section of her hair scattered in the air . It was from Kang Chul-In’s attack .

“ . . . !”

Desdemona quickly teleported away and put distance between her and Kang Chul-In .

I almost… died?

If Kang Chul-In’s attack was only a few centimeters deeper, things might’ve gone bad . Her dragon life of a thousand years would end futilely just like that!

“A mere hit-and-runner dares…”

Desdemona ground her teeth .

“You… just know that you won’t die easily . ”

As soon as she finished,

Urrrrng . . . !

Thousands of energy forms appeared around Kang Chul-In .

Magic missiles . It was a basic 3rd-level spell, but if there were thousands of them, it could be comparable to a 10th-level . There are 12 levels of magic spells, so this was quite strong .

[Spell power, detected!]

However, Kang Chul-In was completely immune to magic .

[A great amount of magical energy has been detected! (Absorption rate : 99%)]

[Energy is filling up!]

Even if it was magic from a dragon, 3rd-level magic was still 3rd-level magic .

Chrwak!

Kaiforce turned into a whip, and aimed for Desdemona .

Jeuk!

Desdmona felt the pain of the steel whip wrapping around her neck .

“Die!”

Kang Chul-In didn’t miss this chance . Desdemona was strong . She wasn’t someone he could go easy on .

Clench . . . !

Kang Chul-In gripped Kaiforce even tighter . Desdemona’s neck began to split .

Foooosh!

Blood shot out of her like a fountain . The girl’s head rolled on the floor of the Lord’s Hall .

“ . . . !”

Everyone was shocked .

“Y-your Majesty!”

Especially Drakan . Kang Chul-In had killed a gold dragon who existed only in legends? Without even giving her the chance to return to her actual body?

“That horrible bitch . ”

However, Kang Chul’s face wasn’t bright . No, rather, he looked uncomfortable, like he was extremely displeased .

“You thought you could trick me with tricks like that?”

Kang Chul-In’s gaze turned towards Ninetails’ old marble throne .

“Hehe?”

Desdemona was there .

“You have good eyes, huh? Hit-and-runner?"

The girl was sitting arrogantly with her legs crossed .
