As Kaiforce spoke, Kang Chul-In was dragged into a world of nothingness, or more exactly, was about to get pulled into it.
âShut up and get lost.â
Kang Chul-In instead used his inhuman mentality and mental strength to reject the offer to go into that abyss.
-You want this strength, donât you?
Kaiforceâs voice tickled Kang Chul-Inâs ears.
-The strength to slaughter that disrespectful vampire.
âI donât need something like you, so get lost.â
-Huu⌠showing unnecessary bravery even in the face of certain death? You donât have a way to suppress that vampireâs healing factor. So, what are you going to do?
Kaiforce spoke, teasing Kang Chul-In.
-Youâre not even using 10% of my full potential right now. Me, such a wonderful sword⌠and you can only use me to this extent? Every moment, Iâm disappointed at the fact that someone like you is my master. What is this, if not casting pearls before swine?
Even with Kang Chul-Inâs mentality, he was about to burst after being belittled by not only Alfred, but also Kaiforce.
Kaiforce tried once again to persuade Kang Chul-In.
-10 minutes? No, even 5 minutes would be enough. Just let me borrow your body and Iâll destroy that vampire for you. Not a bad deal, eh?
-⌠You still have some pride left even in this state? Huhu⌠well, weâll talk again when youâre almost dead because of that vampire over there. Itâll be much easier to take control of your body when youâre injurâŚ
Kaiforce couldn't even finish its words.
This was because without saying a word, Kang Chul-In dropped Kaiforce on the ground without care.
âStupid and disrespectful piece of scrap metal. Iâll put you inside a furnace as soon as I get back from this fight.â
Kang Chul-In roared ferociously.
This was an obvious choice for him.
The Soft-Sword Kaiforce was a sword with consciousness, a cursed Ego Sword.
Kang Chul-In knew that borrowing the strength of this sword to get over precarious situations would land him in a heap of trouble. The position of master and sword might be switched around, with Kang Chul-In being dragged around by Kaiforce instead.
For Kang Chul-In who had a strong sense of domination and didnât like being dragged around, there was no way that this sort of temptation would be able to sway him.
I am the great Overlord, Kang Chul-In.
Calming himself down, Kang Chul-In walked closer to Alfred.
In the past, Kang Chul-In was able to overcome his enemies without the help of an Ego Sword like Kaiforce. Using just Fragarch, he was able to make Pangaea tremble in horror just with the mention of his name. Kaiforce? He didnât necessarily need something like that.
Though Kaiforce that was thrown away vibrated in rage, Kang Chul-In didnât even spare it a glance.
He was going to throw it into a furnace after the fight anyway.
âWhat are you muttering about?â
Alfred looked at Kang Chul-In with a terrifying smile.
âNone of your business.â
âOh? So you donât recognize your inferiority and your weakness until the end, puny human.â
Kang Chul-In decided to ignore the piercing words of Alfred. InsteadâŚ
He punched Alfredâs face as hard as he could.
âAre you satisfied now?â
Alfred, who had recovered from his wounds instantly, taunted Kang Chul-In with a smile.
âI wonder, how do you taste?â
As soon as he said thisâŚ
Though Kang Chul-In felt a strong suctioning force near his heart and tried to turn his body around, it was a tad too late.
A fistful of blood was taken out of Kang Chul-Inâs body and was sucked into Alfredâs body. It was the ability that only powerful True Vampires had that allowed them to drain blood from afar, âPsychic Bloodsuckingâ.
âHuuu⌠This doesnât taste nice. For some reason, your blood feels familiar. The blood of a Lord... of a tyrant.â
To Kang Chul-In, this felt very hypocritical. This young Alfred seemed to have the same arrogance and ambition inside of him that Kang Chul-In has, if not even more.
Overdrive phase two⌠would last for a maximum of 30 seconds.
Kang Chul-In tried his best to remain cool, and calculated his full strength.
1 second. Just 1 second is all I need. Just one blow.
And Kang Chul-In thought of a method.
Walking forward in large strides, Kang Chul-In started emitting a terrifying aura.
Overdriveâs 2nd phase, drawn out to its fullest extent. He also had Vortex wrapped around his two fists, so it made sense that the mana around him would create a terrifying aura.
âYou made yourself that much stronger in your current state?â
âA final stand before you fall. Using up your life-force for thatâŚâ
Before Alfred could even finish his words, Kang Chul-In interrupted him by punching his face.
Though it was a short period of time, to the two that were fighting, it seemed much longer.
Wrapped around with Vortex, Kang Chul-Inâs fists hammered into Alfredâs body. He was overloading Alfredâs healing factor, punching and hitting Alfred too quickly for the healing factor to be able to catch up to the damage taken.
Of course, Alfred wasnât just getting beaten up one-sidedly.
The claws of Alfred managed to scratch Kang Chul-Inâs abdomen, andâŚ
Through the wound, blood spurted out. The claws of a true vampire were famed to be as dangerous and sharp as most swords, and this feat proved that.
It was a brutal slugfest.
It was a fight between the two of them where retreating meant certain death.
I can sense it. His healing factor is weakening!
During the fight, Kang Chul-In tried his best in order to slowly, but surely slow down Alfredâs healing factor.
Although Alfred was a true vampire, the healing wouldnât last forever. It was apparent that a bit of Alfredâs life-force was used in order to continue healing.
This stupid, lowly human. How long does he think he can go on like this for?
Alfred also had his own plan.
Iâm sure heâll run out of fuel soon. 1 minute? 2 minutes? When all of your strength is gone, Iâll rip you to shreds.
He was aiming for a counter once Kang Chul-In ran out of stamina.
These were the thoughts that flashed through Kang Chul-In and Alfredâs minds. After a few seconds, Kang Chul-In was falling into a state of grogginess due to the backlash.
âIâll rip your heart out!â
Witnessing the rapid fall of strength in Kang Chul-In, Alfred laughed maniacally. He stretched his arm out to rip Kang Chul-Inâs still-beating heart straight out from his chest.
But as soon as he moved to do so,
With one last explosion, the space between Kang Chul-In and Alfred started to distort as Kang Chul-in hit Alfredâs abdominal section.
Finally, after many blows, Alfred fell to his knees before Kang Chul-In.
âH-How⌠could a lowly human like youâŚâ
Alfred looked down at his stomach in absolute shock. What he saw was an empty midsection.
âThe core inside of me... the entirety of it! Itâs brokenâŚ? How could it be⌠howâŚ? How is this possible? How!â
Thankfully this time, there was no regeneration. The source of the healing factor had finally been destroyed.
Kang Chul-In sighed deeply.
His body was in an absolute mess due to the overuse of mana. And⌠for the last exchange, the use of the 3rd phase of Overdrive had completely drained him.
At the last moment, Kang Chul-In had activated the 3rd phase of Overdrive combined with Vortex, to destroy the core of Alfred. Obviously Kang Chul-In was going to be in a terrible state. After all, he used a move that he shouldnât have attempted until after Level 100.
After witnessing everything, Dorian ran towards Kang Chul-In urgently.
âYou look like youâre going to die! Sit down!â
âIâm not finished with my job yet.â
âThen, let me help you.â
âNo, not now. This is not the time.â
Rather than accepting Dorianâs help, Kang Chul-In walked slowly towards the dying Alfred.
Alfred⌠you too, huhâŚ
Kang Chul-In bit his lower lip in bitterness.
It was a pleasant surprise when he saw his old subordinates in the dungeon, but it soon turned into bitterness as he had to go through each of them, killing them.
But⌠now that was finally over. By giving rest to Alfred, this dungeon would finally be over.
As soon as he thought this,
[You have cleared the Epic dungeon, the forgotten territory, the âRaging Valhallaâ!]
The notification that signified the end of the dungeon popped up in front of Kang Chul-Inâs eye.
[The anger of the monsters have dissipated!]
[The rage of the monsters will now head toward the intruders.]
[The monsters have returned to their original strength.]
[The rage and hatred that once filled this dungeon has disappeared.]
Soon after, the rewards for clearing the dungeon came rushing down, like a flood bursting through a dam. Though he wasnât able to get Lord points or experience from this, the other rewards more than made up for it.
[Reward 1: Epic Item âMemory transfer deviceâ (consumable)!]
[Reward 2: The âValhalla territoryâ will be given to the Lord Kang Chul-In.]
[Reward 3: Mythical HP potion.]
An epic item, the Valhalla territory, as well as an HP potion that he didnât know of. Though the rewards weren't life-changing, it was still quite a reward that befitted the hardships he went through.
Sparks flew up, and a golden crown, along with a flask containing a rainbow-colored liquid appeared in front of Kang Chul-In.
Although he wasnât interested in the items due to the shock of losing Alfred, the options were shown in front of him anyway.
[Epic]: Memory Transfer Device (consumable)
Made from the Ancient Kingdomâs magic technology academy. The effects are not clear, due to it being only a prototype.
Option: Can send oneâs memories into another.
The item had quite a weird explanation.
[Epic]: Mythical HP potion
Effect 1: Can restore 20% of lost life-force.
Effect 2: Can increase regeneration up to 200% for 5 minutes.
It seemed that the Mythical HP potion would be able to save a dying person.
Though it seemed a little sketchy since it was a prototype, Kang Chul-In imagined the possibility of what would happen if he gave his memories to Alfred, and saved him using the health potion.
His heart beating, Kang Chul-In picked up the items, and put the Device on his head.
[Will you activate the âMemory Transfer Deviceâ?]
[Now, a scan will occur for 1 minute. Please hold still. 0: 59⌠0:58âŚ]
[Scanning complete. Put the device onto the one who will get the memory transfer.]
Kang Chul-In walked towards the dying Alfred, and put the machine on his head.
[The memories that have been scanned will now be transferred. It will take 1 minute. Please hold still. 0: 59⌠0: 58âŚ]
âW-W-What the hell do you think youâre doing t-to me?â
At this point, Alfred seemed like a middle-aged man, as he rapidly aged without his regeneration factors.
But rather than answering Alfred, Kang Chul-In punched him, and force fed him the HP potion.
The 1 minute that seemed like a year for Kang Chul-In, finally passed.
â...Is it a failure?â
Looking at Alfred, Kang Chul-In bit his lips in bitterness.
It seemed as if not even the Mythical HP potion could stop Alfredâs aging, as Alfred had already gone past being middle-aged, and looked like an old man now. If this continued, Alfred would surely die.
Alfred changed his gaze, and looked towards Kang Chul-In, and spoke.
âM-Milord? Is that really you? I-Is it the Kang Chul-In that I know?â
Tears flowed down Alfred, the old Alfredâs face.
Alfred started to cry his heart out.
