Novel Bin Chapter 288
Where was the Sonic Ring!? This tenacious bastard . . .
Kang Chul-In had a perplexed expression on his face . When was Brynhildr going to deliver the Sonic Ring like a true cormorant?
No matter how hard he looked, Kang Chul-In couldn’t detect anything on Brynhildr’s finger .
“Oi, cormorant . ”
Kang Chul-In spoke in a displeased tone .
“When are you going to fetch me the fish?”
The fish here referred to the Sonic Ring .
“ . . . ”
“Work cormorant, work . ”
He coerced Brynhildr .
Kang Chul-In had to obtain the Sonic Ring before he could kill Brynhildr without hesitation .
“Stop spouting nonsense, Kang Chul-In . ”
Brynhildr replied coldly .
“Enough with your lame cormorant and fish story . ”
“Lame? You are only alive because of that fish . . . ”
Kang Chul-In was about to continue his speech when . . .
Swishhhh!
Arondight – the trusty sword of Brynhildr – was swung at Kang Chul-In at a terrifying speed, with a piercing screech .
It’s fast!
Kang Chul-In, startled at its incredible speed, instantly bent his body backwards .
Flick!
Two strands of his hair drifted on the air .
“ . . . !”
Brynhildr was fast . That was a fair statement, as he had managed to slice even Kang Chul-In’s hair .
“Let’s see how long you can ramble on about the cormorant nonsense . ”
Brynhildr snarled in a low and deep voice beneath his helmet . He had clearly indicated his wish for revenge for the previous defeat!
“Seems like you’ve powered up since the last encounter?”
Kang Chul-In smirked . He only had two strands of hair sliced, but that proved that Brynhildr’s speed was sufficient to pose danger to his life .
“How about you?”
Brynhildr replied .
“You don’t seem as strong as before, am I right?”
Spot-on . During their previous encounter, Kang Chul-In was fully powered-up with the [Full Moon] ability which made him much stronger .
“A real man becomes stronger at night . ”
Kang Chul-In snickered and replied . He was trying to crack a sexual joke .
“Trash . ”
With that,
Pang!
He dashed at Kang Chul-In with a sonic boom trailing behind him .
Hah!
Kang Chul-In could see it this time .
Oraclomind and Overdrive had activated instinctively, granting Kang Chul-In a reaction speed beyond human limits!
Clang!
Demon sword Kaiforce and light sword Arondight clashed .
He certainly did get stronger . . .
Kang Chul-In could feel the heavy impact from the blow . He had to acknowledge Brynhildr’s growth . An almost terrifying growth rate, as expected from his nemesis in the previous life .
However,
Getting cocky, are we?
Kang Chul-In’s eyes gleamed .
Ooooong!
Kaiforce began to vibrate .
Bang!
It then flung Arondight off .
“Cough!”
Fresh blood began to ooze out from beneath Brynhildr’s armor, who was reeling under the heavy blow . An overwhelming display of power! Brynhildr might be fast, but he was no match for Kang Chul-In’s monstrous strength . The latter was proving once again that he was the real deal .
I will beat you up just enough to not kill you .
Kang Chul-In charged at Brynhildr with that thought .
***
Meanwhile . . .
“Troops heading to Iota and Shen, change your trajectory to Zolushka . ”
15,000 men each . Lee Ji-Tae directed a total of 30,000 soldiers to Zolushka .
“Send in all of our most elite troops to Zolushka . In addition, send half of the 20,000 soldiers stationed in this castle to Zolushka . ”
He had also decided to send in legitimate soldiers, not just the small fries .
Kang Chul-In… I promise to make Zolushka your grave .
Lee Ji-Tae studied the map eagerly . It was almost an all-out attack .
Except for the 10,000 soldiers stationed in Itaracia’s castle, Lee Ji-Tae was sending all of his men to Zolushka .
***
The battle between Kang Chul-In and Brynhildr was indeed remarkable .
“Ohhhh!”
“So that’s the Supreme King of the West . ”
“The white knight was that strong? To even challenge Kang Chul-In?”
“M-Monsters . . . ”
The Lords of the Gullveig Alliance and their elite troops didn’t dare to interfere with this intense battle . All they could do was marvel at the two fighters .
Well, who could stop them? Only death awaited whoever stepped in . Observing from a safe distance was the wisest move .
“Urgh!”
However, the battle was more lopsided than it appeared to be .
“What, getting tired?”
Kang Chul-In pressured Brynhildr with a wicked smile on his face .
Clang, clang, clang!
Kaiforce and Arondight clashed relentlessly, creating tremendous shock waves each time .
“How dare you, a mere cormorant, challenge me?”
Kang Chul-In caught Brynhildr off guard for a split second and flung his knee upwards with great strength .
Bam!
Kang Chul-In’s knee landed straight into Brynhildr’s abdomen .
“Cough!”
Brynhildr’s body folded from the impact .
“I told you . . . ”
Bang!
Kang Chul-In’s fist struck Brynhildr’s jaw .
“You should’ve . . . ”
Crack!
An elbow attack this time!
“Just fetched your fish . ”
Bam!
A kick followed .
Thump!
Brynhildr rolled a good 10 meters on the floor before coming to a halt .
“Keuk!”
“Do you get it now?”
Kang Chul-In grinned .
“This is the difference between us . ”
A clear arrogance . He proved that he could kill Brynhildr anytime . The only thing that was stopping him from doing so was the Sonic Ring, which was also referred to as the ‘fish’ .
It was the hard truth . Kang Chul-In could have murdered Brynhildr the moment he caught him off-guard . All he had to do was swing Kaiforce instead of the tedious kicking, punching and elbowing . Brynhildr would’ve become a corpse by now .
“Kang… Chul-In . . . ”
Brynhildr struggled to get himself up .
“It’s not over yet . . . ”
“Really?”
“Don’t be arrogant… I can still fight . ”
A remarkable fighting spirit indeed . Brynhildr’s brilliant white armor was dented and torn everywhere, but he refused to give up . This greatly moved Kang Chul-In . . .
“You fucker . ”
… Or not . Kang Chul-In was not a cliché main character of a shonen manga, who typically made up with his opponent after a fight .
“Let me crush all your bones into pieces . . . ”
Kang Chul-In approached Brynhildr while mumbling those harsh words .
Suddenly,
Toommmm!
The ground began to tremble .
“Wahhhhh!”
“Capture him!”
“Kill Kang Chul-In!”
From afar, tens of thousands of Shatyameba soldiers were marching at an incredible speed .
“Trying to win by numbers, huh…?”
Kang Chul-In smirked . He wasn’t afraid . As long as the arch-shaped passage was unscathed, it was impossible for him to lose .
It was certainly true that he might collapse from fatigue on day 3, but he could just escape before that happened .
“Don’t mind them . ”
Brynhildr walked towards Kang Chul-In .
“You fight with me . ”
“You still don’t get it, do you?”
Kang Chul-In jeered .
***
“Kang Chul-In . . . ”
Having launched an all-out attack, Lee Ji-Tae stood on the watchtower .
“Your corpse . . . ”
He could see Zolushka in the distance . A large troop was approaching it . A battle was about to unfold, and Kang Chul-In was certainly going to die while fending off the relentless wave of attacks .
“You will never escape . . . ”
Lee Ji-Tae was about to complete his sentence, when . . .
Vroooomm!
A screeching engine sound could be heard .
“ . . . !”
Lee Ji-Tae could sense that something was off . A bit later, three enormous air crafts emerged from the curtain of clouds to reveal themselves in the sky above Itaracia . One of them was familiar to Lee Ji-Tae .
“Z-Zeppelin!”
Wasn’t that Rothschild’s former aircraft which was used to attack Laputa?
Not only did Zeppelin appear, but also . . .
Roarrrr…!
A gigantic beast gleamed with brilliant silver shine appeared . It was none other than the famous Full Metal Dragon .
Last but not least, there was the largest aircraft of the three . It was at least five times bigger than Zeppelin .
“T-Temeraire!”
Overlord Hecate’s legendary battleship sailed through the sky .
Ah, ah, mike test . Mike test .
Suddenly, Kwak Jung’s voice could be heard through the magic-engineered loudspeaker, which echoed throughout the Chamonix mountains .
Fresh vegetables are here… no, that’s not it! Ok, I’m giving you guys 10 seconds .
It was a warning .
Choose . Surrender in 10 seconds or become roasted meat .
He was threatening to destroy Itaracia .
“What the fuck!?”
Lee Ji-Tae couldn’t believe this situation . Why would Valhalla’s main battle force appear in the northern region of Baldur? It already didn’t make sense that Kang Chul-In was protecting Zolushka .
Why? Was Kang Chul-In’s information network so incredible? No, that’s not it . Even that Kang Chul-In wouldn’t be able to read the situation in Pangaea so effectively!
No matter how he pondered, it didn’t make sense . Of course, Lee Ji-Tae was unaware of the deal between Kang Chul-In and Lily . It was natural for him to be caught off-guard .
10 . . .
Meanwhile, Kwak Jung had already initiated the countdown .
9, 8, 7 . . .
10 seconds . That was a very short time . Not to mention that it was impossible to decide a crucial matter like surrendering within such a short time frame!
6, 5… argh, fuck it!
Kwak Jung suddenly flared up .
Just shoot everything! Now!
As impatient as ever, he didn’t bother to keep to the 10 seconds at all!
God damn it!
Lee Ji-Tae’s face crumpled .
Pow!
And hence began the bombardment .
Farewell .
Overlord Hecate’s ultimate attack, ‘Fire,’ began to pour down on the opponents!
***
While Kwak Jung was unintentionally screwing Lee Ji-Tae up, Kang Chul-In was facing 300,000 Shatyameba and Gullveig Alliance soldiers, as well as Brynhildr, at the same time .
“Come at me . ”
Brynhildr stepped up .
“Oi, cormorant . ”
Kang Chul-In replied coldly .
“You sure you won’t regret this?”
“ . . . ”
“Should I really kill you here?”
It was his final warning . Kang Chul-In had been giving many chances so far, but any further and he would murder Brynhildr, regardless of whether he could obtain the Sonic Ring .
“Your threats are meaningless . ”
Brynhildr held tightly onto his light sword, Arondight .
“I - Brynhildr, the white knight - will never back off from a fight against Kang Chul-In, the Supreme King of the West . ”
“ . . . ”
“No matter what happens . . . ”
Suddenly,
“Kang Chul-Innnnnnnnnn!”
An idiotic voice could be heard from somewhere .
Keeeeek!
The unique cry of a wyvern could also be heard .
“I’m hereeeeeeeeee!”
With that,
Thump!
Overlord Dorian Explorer alighted from a gigantic black Wyvern’s back .
“… What?”
Kang Chul-In asked Dorian with a puzzled expression .
“Why are you here, bastard?”
“To help!”
“Help who?”
Kang Chul-In asked .
“You!”
“Me?”
“Yep! You are all alone!”
“That’s true but… I don’t recall asking for help?”
“R-Really?”
Dorian started to sweat .
“Kwak Jung told me that you are in big trouble . . . ”
“Idiot . ”
“ . . . !”
“Tricked again . ”
“T-Tricked?”
“Tsk… you suffer more if you are stupid . ”
Kang Chul-In mocked Dorian .
Brrrr!
Dorian’s body trembled with rage .
“Urgh… tricked again… Damn it . Well… what can I do…? Anyways, take this, Kang Chul-In . ”
Dorian passed something to Kang Chul-In .
“What’s this?”
“A tonic!”
Dorian grinned .
“Tonic?”
“Dragon Heart . ”
“ . . . !”
“Take care of your body . You have three wives to deal with . You need something like this to sustain your virility . . . ”
Bam!
Kang Chul-In smashed his fist onto Dorian’s head .
