The ground trembled from the force of Titan merely walking.
From inside Titan, Franz laughed crazily.
If an Atlas was to be measured in âtens of tonsâ, then Titan was a giant that weighed over 100. Riding in this final weapon of his, Franz wanted to crush Kang Chul-In and see the faces of his subordinates after his death.
Kang Chul-In looked at the trump card that Franz had prepared and nodded.
Though Franzâs Titan could not be compared to the Titans that had fought during Ragnarok, it was extremely impressive considering the fact that it had only been a year since the Great Summoning.
Franzâs voice echoed through the battlefield with the help of a large speaker inside his control seat.
- Kneel down now and beg for mercy.
He suggested that Kang Chul-In should surrender.
- If you do that, Iâll spare at least your life. Huhuhu...
Riding on Titan, Franzâs confidence skyrocketed. It was obvious that he thought of himself as the predator here and Kang Chul-In as the prey.
Kang Chul-Inâs reaction to that was...
Kang Chul-In looked at Franz who was sitting inside Titan, 20 meters away, and spoke.
âIf you keep speaking nonsense, I will go and personally cripple the legs and arms of that trash robot. Okay?â
It was as if Kang Chul-In was really talking to a dog that didnât know its place.
Franz laughed as if he had heard something crazy.
- No matter how strong you are, do you really think that youâll be able to stand back up after fighting against my Titan? In front of this ridiculously powerful Magic Weapon?
Franzâs words somewhat made sense.
Would a person, even if that person was a powerful Lord, truly be able to stand up against Titan with his bare body?
Standing tall at 7 meters and weighing in at 115 tons, equipped with and powered by 3 Magic Crystals. There was no sane person that would fight against Titan and yet still be so confident and shameless.
- Seems like you need a beating.
- Whatâs the point of acting so powerful and posing so much? Is it to show off to that woman standing behind you? Or is it really because you believe in yourself? You⊠No matter how much I think about it⊠youâre crazy.
This was how Franz saw Kang Chul-In.
Kang Chul-In called Lucia.
âJust in case, standby behind me.â
âStandbyâŠ? Donât tell meâŠâ
Rather than responding to Luciaâs words, Kang Chul-In just jumped off the Altaica and started slowly heading towards Titan.
Lucia frantically called Kang Chul-In.
âY-Youâre going to fight against Titan alone?â
Kang Chul-In didnât turn around while answering.
âT-That canât be! No matter how powerful my Lord may be, fighting against Titan alone isâŠâ
Kang Chul-In interrupted her words.
At these words, Lucia could not stop Kang Chul-In anymore or try to persuade him. The only thing she could do now was to believe in him.
Kang Chul-In signaled at Franz to come, speaking arrogantly.
âIâll destroy you.â
âIs your mouth the only thing thatâs alive?â
Saying this, Kang Chul-Inâs eyes showed killing intent. It meant that he wouldnât let Franz go anymore.
âIf you donât come, then Iâll go.â
Kaiforce suddenly turned into the shape of a snake before wrapping around Kang Chul-Inâs right hand. It was known as a Soft Sword, but it had even changed shape into a Gauntlet to fit Kang Chul-Inâs hands.
Seeing Kang Chul-Inâs confidence, Franz was annoyed. Once Kang Chul-In was in the attack range of Titan, he was the first one to attack.
Titanâs joints started moving at once.
With a âkachinkâ, the heavy and metallic arm of Titan started to swing down towards Kang Chul-In.
Franz didnât expect this attack to succeed.
Although Kang Chul-In was walking towards him like an idiot, he thought that Kang Chul-In would still dodge the first attack before trying to counterattack afterwards. Due to this, he slightly lowered and tilted Titanâs back in preparation to launch a 2nd attack immediately. He had tried to look a step forward.
But Kang Chul-Inâs reaction to the attack was something that Franz hadnât anticipated at allâŠ
With an extremely large explosionâŠ
A shockwave spread to the surroundings of where the collision happened.
Titan fell to the ground, landing on its butt.
Lucia was so startled that she couldnât speak properly.
What she saw right now was so unbelievable that even after witnessing it with her own two eyes, she could still not process it.
The fists of a human that was 183cm tall and the fist of a 7-meter-tall Metal Giant collided. Yet, the one that had lost the exchange was not Kang Chul-In but Titan.
It wasnât even Titan being slightly pushed back.
Titan, which had clashed fists with Kang Chul-In, fell before rolling 4 or 5 times backwards on the frozen ground.
The right fist of Titan that had clashed with Kang Chul-In had been completely distorted in shape, and it seemed like it lost its capability to function.
The two miniature Magic Cannons loaded on Titanâs shoulders were also broken due to the shock taken from rolling backwards.
The right arm and two Magic Cannons.
Titan had already lost over 30% of its entire strength in one collision.
Yet, Kang Chul-In, who had just done that, started stretching as if what he had just done didnât even qualify as a warm-up. What seemed impossible for others to do became something easy in the hands of Kang Chul-In.
Sparks formed around Kang Chul-In, making him look stronger than he had ever been before.
Lucia really couldnât understand this man standing in front of her and how strong he actually was. Was this man actually a reincarnation of an undefeated war god?
Kang Chul-In, who had activated the second phase of Overdrive, was incredibly powerful.
If phase 1 Overdrive gave a 40% increase in overall strength, phase 2 would give a 60% increase in strength. At this point, it wasnât enough to merely say that someone had gotten stronger. It was a strength that was on another level.
âIâll finish this quickly.â
Saying this, Kang Chul-In shortened the distance between him and Titan at a speed that couldnât be properly seen.
Thinking of the aftereffects that would come after activating the second phase of Overdrive, it made sense that he would have to wrap up the fight as quickly as possible. After all, this special move of his was a double-edged sword, and it would end up hurting him more if used incorrectly.
Kang Chul-Inâs right fist, which had the Kaiforce Gauntlet wrapped around it, smashed into the abdomen of Titan.
The tough steel that protected Titanâs midsection was pushed back 30cm, making it look like there was a giant hole in the middle. If someone saw this, they might misunderstand that Titan was made out of Aluminium and not steel.
This was the difference in hardness.
Although it was unknown what sort of metal that Kaiforce was made of, the durability of it was unchanging, which meant that it was infinite. It was impossible for an ordinary metal to stand up to it.
âWell then, letâs see how you look.â
Kang Chul-In smiled evilly, andâŠ
Smashing and raining his fists down like crazy, Kang Chul-In crushed the metal that protected Titan into nothingness.
Franz, who was hidden behind 60cm of pure steel, shouted in panic as Kang Chul-In started walking closer.
What kind of fist was able to break through 60cm of steel so easily? To Franz, it seemed like Kang Chul-Inâs fist would be able to tear down even the entirety of his territory.
Franz hurriedly tried to turn on the booster and show Kang Chul-In the true power that Titan had. It was only a minute since the battle had started, and the real start of the fight would begin now.
Franzâs hopes were soon dashed.
As the heavy steel plating started to get pummeled by the raw force of Kang Chul-Inâs fists, the big plate that covered the front section of Titan was ripped away before the booster was even pressed. The first thing he saw after Titan was ripped apart wasâŠ
âDid you really think youâd be safe if you hid inside here?â
Devil, no. It was Kang Chul-Inâs face that seemed like the devilâs to him.
Franz didnât give up and tried to use the Soul Core to control Titan, butâŠ
His neck was grabbed by Kang Chul-In and was being clamped down.
Since Franz was running out of breath so quickly, he could not control his own body, much less control Titan or activate the booster.
While his neck was still grabbed, Franzâs body was dragged out of the control seat by Kang Chul-In.
Kang Chul-In spoke to Franz, now grabbing onto his hair.
âYou remember what I said before, right?â
Iâll make you like this.
Franz still couldnât forget the scene in which Kang Chul-In had broken the boulder in front of him with his bare fists. It still gave him chills when he thought about that.
âP-Please⊠Just onceâŠâ
Franz begged for his life.
âI-If you just save me onceâŠâ
âIf you decided to fight me, you should have been prepared for your skull to be crushed. Am I wrong?â
Kang Chul-In spoke fiercely.
The Altaica circled around Franz while occasionally roaring, creating a terrifying atmosphere. It was like Franz was a caged beast, waiting to be devoured at any moment.
Finally, tears started to pour out of Franzâs eyes.
To Franz, who knew how to make and control Golems and knew nothing about fighting, the best he could do was stay quiet and cry.
Kang Chul-In stared at Franz in disgust.
It made him extremely angry that a coward like this spoke to him about âbeing a real manâ.
To Kang Chul-In, it would have been better if Franz had said âjust kill me, you son of a b*tch!â and showed his determination. Of course⊠the end result of death wouldnât change.
âPlease, if I have a wishâŠâ
Kang Chul-In spoke as if he was tired.
âItâs that I donât want to see any more trash like you.â
It meant that Kang Chul-In didnât want to see any more people that were cowardly and had to cry and beg in the face of death.
âPlease⊠spare at least my lifeâŠâ
But⊠the action of him begging was actually what hastened his death.
Franzâs skull exploded like a watermelon.
Kang Chul-In spoke, turning around.
âAlways keep my word.â
He had kept his word that he would really make Franz like the boulder he had shattered.
Because Kang Chul-In was a âreal manâ who did what he said he would.
Kang Chul-In could only truly take in how much they had gained once he read the report written by Lucia. The contents were as follows:
Mecha Dome territory (fortress) / 300 citizens living inside342 Gold6 Atlases (Exterior damaged, out of battery, 20% damage for inside, 1 completely destroyed)Titan (Exterior 35% damaged)10 Magic Technicians50 Magic Engineers+1 Level+75P (Lord Points)
What made Kang Chul-In the most excited was gaining the 10 Magic Technicians and 50 Magic engineers.
Besides that, the Mecha Dome territory was a circular shaped building and was the best territory from which to defend and watch over the Eastern Plains as a fortress and a watchtower.
Due to this, Kang Chul-In became the Lord who had taken over 80% of the territory in the Eastern Plains and could gain massive harvests from each territory he had conquered.
With this, Iâll finally be able to move.
Riding on the back of the Altaica and returning to the Laputa territory, Kang Chul-In decided inwardly that he would move back to the old Valhalla territory that he resided in previously.
The conquest to conquer the entirety of Pangaea would begin from then onwards.
Hecate, who had kept her integrity to the end, and the traitor, the Necromancer Aleister, who had betrayed him. Finally, Kang Chul-In. He would go back to where the heart of the old Ishtar alliance.
Suddenly, Kang Chul-Inâs Status Window opened, and an announcement could be seen there.
[Notification!] The Lord Rankings will be announced! (All Lords)
Finally, the Lord Rankings that were based on the Lord Points would be presented!
