The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 297

Chapter 297: Kang Chul-In Vs . Desdemona (3)

Indeed . What Kang Chul-In had cut wasn’t Desdemona’s actual body but only a decoy .

“I was almost tricked . ”

Kang Chul-In was surprised at how clean the decoy was . Desdemona’s decoy was extremely realistic .

“It would be perfect if the touch wasn’t different . ”

Yes, the touch . Kang Chul-In had cut countless people in his current life and past life combined . Even if it was a decoy that a dragon had made, it was impossible to trick Kang Chul-In when it came to killing something .

“Hm?”

On the throne, Desdemona lifted a corner of her mouth .

“A mere human dares to judge my magic?”

“You’re only a lizard but you’re so arrogant . ”

“L-Lizard?”

“My subordinate says you’re a dragon . So isn’t a dragon a lizard?”

Just then, Drakan murmured quietly from his fainted position .

“Y-Your Majesty… so what I meant is… keuk…”

Drakan was hit with an unexpected attack by Kang Chul-In .

“Ha…”

Desdemona laughed . It was the composure of the strong . To her, humans were just bugs that she could step on and kill at any moment .

“You’re pretty arrogant, huh? Human?”

“Isn’t it arrogant for a lizard to judge a human?”

However, Kang Chul-In didn’t bend to her . How could someone from Earth know about a true dragon that even Pangaeans didn’t know about? From Kang Chul-In’s perspective, Desdemona was only a mutant lizard that could turn into a speaking human .

“You really want to die, hm? It wasn’t enough to hit-and-run but you want to blabber in front of me?”

“Where did the hit-and-run thing come from?”

Kang Chul-In asked Desdemona . He didn’t know why he had to be implicated as a hit-and-runner when he was all for safe driving .

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“ . . . ?

“Well, fine, I’ll tell you . You’ll feel less wronged if you know why you died . ”

Desdemona had a tray brought over .

“Video play . ”

Then, she casted a spell .

-I’m raising the altitude, so everyone go back inside!

In the playing video, he could see himself disappearing after hitting Desdemona’s lair .

“Ah?”

Kang Chul-In realized why the lizard was calling him a hit-and-runner .

“That’s nothing . ”

However, his reaction was shameless .

“I guess lizards are pretty small-minded, huh?”

“What?”

“Tsk tsk… you’re making such a mess just because a part of your roof was broken . No, shouldn’t you pay for the damage done to the lower part of our castle?”

If the other side requested a reasonable amount, Kang Chul-In would’ve given it . But Desdemona was different . She had invaded his wife’s home and was beating up his subordinates . They had gone beyond the point of striking a deal .

Why, you ask? Because Kang Chul-In’s temper was as fiery as a dragon’s .

Shake shake…!

Desdemona trembled at Kang Chul-In’s attitude .

“You dare!”

A sharp sound rang out in the Lord’s Hall .

“Keuk!”

“ . . . !”

Everyone clutched their chests and plopped down at Desdemona’s angry shout . Dragon Fear . It was a force that wasn’t possible for a “fake dragon” to have . Even if it wasn’t her actual body, it was powerful .

“You dare . . . ”

Only Kang Chul-In was unaffected by the Dragon Fear .

“You dare to scream in my wife’s home?”

At the same time, Kang Chul-In caused a sonic boom and dashed at Desdemona .

Chrwak!

A knife-like wind whirled around Desdemona from Kang Chul-In .

Crumble!

Ninetails’s throne crumbled to pieces .

It was then .

When had she appeared?

“With that weak attack . . . ”

Desdemona smiled coldly, having dug into Kang Chul-In’s blind spot by teleporting .

“You were trying to kill me? You arrogant human?”

Desdemona aimed a fist towards Kang Chul-In’s left ribs .

Danger!

Kang Chul-In crossed Kaiforce and Mitra to block the fist .

Clanggg!

A large explosive sound that almost ripped the surrounding people’s eardrums rang out .

“Keuk!”

A pained groan escaped from Kang Chul-In’s mouth .

An extraordinary destructive power!

He had definitely blocked it . But the hands with the swords in them, his arms, and even his sides throbbed . His sides just throbbed but he felt like his internal organs were being crushed .

“Ha, you blocked it?”

Desdemona grinned and began an additional attack .

She gripped his collar and threw him forcefully to the ground .

“I’ll make you into sausage!”

How dare she!

Swish!

Kang Chul-In immediately used fancy acrobatic skills to escape Desdemona’s grip . He was falling short on strength? Then he would win with tact . Kang Chul-In was a martial artist who had seen thousands of battlefields . That could make Desdemona, a dragon with no fighting experience who had been sleeping for a thousand years, bend down to him .

Chrwak!

Kaiforce was swung at Desdemona’s waist .

“Do you really think…”

Just when Desdemona was about to mock Kang Chul-In again,

Swoosh!

The sword of light, Mitra, aimed precisely at Desdemona’s open spot .

“ . . . !”

While Desdemona’s eyes were filled with shock, with an ominous sound, a drop of blood slid down Desdemona’s arm .

I-I was… cut? By… a mere human?

Desdemona was shocked . She had never imagined in her dragon life that she would be hurt by a mere human . Even if she was in her human form .

“Die . ”

She didn’t have more time to be shocked because Kaiforce, which had suddenly taken the force of a whip, was flying at her to bind her, and Mitra was shining brilliantly coming at the speed of light .

What does he think he’s doing!?

“الجنوبیة كوریا“

“!صدر”

“!الاحتیال بعملة كویتیة مزیفة”

“!نجلیز”

“!حاولة”

Desdemona reflected it by using five level-8 magic spells . This was the true reason why dragons were fearsome . Just by saying the most important part of a spell, she could cast her magic in less than 95% of the time it took human magicians .

However,

[Energy is filling up! (Absorption rate : 82%)]

[Energy is filling up! (Absorption rate : 99%)]

[Energy is filling up! (Absorption rate : 86%)]

[Energy is filling up! (Absorption rate : 93%)]

[Energy is filling up! (Absorption rate : 71%)]

It might’ve been dragon magic, but it was still magic! His S++ skill was blocking Desdemona’s dragon magic perfectly . Also, Desdemona’s magical energies were bestowing him great strength .

[Mana is overflowing!]

[Warning, you need to release the mana you absorbed!]

Let’s see if you can block this too .

Kang Chul-In thrust all the magical energy from his dragon heart’s mana into the sword of light, Kaiforce .

-M, Master!

He could hear Mitra’s urgent shout .

-This… t-too, powerful!

Shut up and bear it!

-Ahhh!

The fact that it was hard for a holy being like Mitra meant that it could also be dangerous to an ancient dragon .

No way!

Desdemona was shocked . A mere human had not only chewed up her magic but created an attack powerful enough for her to feel danger . The hit-and-runner in front of her didn’t seem to be a normal human .

Do you think I’ll be hit?

But that was it . Desdemona wasn’t going to let Kang Chul-In succeed in his attack .

“التي الأخبار“!

She casted a spell again . The level-10 dragon magic Charge Barrier formed in front of her . She could guarantee that no human could pierce through this barrier .

Heh .

An evil smile grew on Kang Chul-In’s face .

Do you think this is all I have? Lizard?

[Release amplified!]

Flash!

At the same time, the Amplifier Talisman on his neck began to vibrate .

“ . . . !”

Shock filled Desdemona’s eyes .

I can’t block it!

Kang Chul-In didn’t use the Amplifier Talisman until the end to make Desdemona make the wrong choice and she had naively created a level-10 barrier . Of course, this was enough to block his attack, but not enough to block the released energy increased by 120% . This meant that Kang Chul-In had completely tricked Desdemona!

And the result was . . .

Kwaaaaaaang!

The destruction of the Charge Barrier .

“Kyaaaaak!”

A scream came from the ancient dragon’s mouth .

“B-Be careful!”

“It’s coming down!”

“Run away!”

Kang Chul-In’s attack not only swallowed Desdemona but destroyed everything around it, and the shock of it brought down half of the Lord’s Hall .

“ . . . Oops!”

Kang Chul-In looked flustered . He felt like he could see Ninetails already nagging him .

H-Husband! What did you do to my house!

Ah, so this is what a sad beast was? A sad beast known as a “married man . ”

“How should I explain this…”

Just when Kang Chul-In was mumbling to himself, his senses sent him a warning .

“ . . . !”

She’s… alive?

Kang Chul-In could feel it .

Beyond the thick smoke and the crumbled marble, a great being was about to descend .

Dammit!

Kang Chul-In threw his body .

***

“Haaa… so I can’t do it with a human body, huh?”

Desdemona’s draconic eyes blazed . She was currently in a mess .

“Fine, let’s see this to the end . ”

As soon as she finished muttering to herself, she was wrapped in light . This was a kind of regression . She was getting rid of the weak human body and returning to her true form, a dragon . It was hurtful to her pride, but there was nothing she could do . She had to acknowledge it . That hit-and-runner was a powerful human that she couldn’t defeat in her polymorphed form!

I’ll painstakingly make you feel how weak you are .

She hardened her resolve to make that hit-and-runner know what a true dragon was .

“Do you think I’ll let you?”

However, Kang Chul-In wasn’t someone who would simply let his opponent become stronger . He was a man who knew how to go in sharply while his enemy was at their weakest .

“N-No!”

Desdemona shouted urgently, but he was merciless .

“Yes!”

Right before she changed, the sword of light, Mitra, entered her side .

Then… a whirlwind began to form .

T-This is . . . !

Desdemona could feel it . A condensed whirlwind . A violent storm that could rip iron to shreds was entering her body!

“Aaaaaaack!”

Another scream came from the ancient level dragon . It was a desperate scream .
