The ending of Kang Chul-In and Desdemonaâs fight could be explained by one word: Carelessness. It was the decisive factor in Desdemona losing. If she had left the Lordâs Hall and returned to her true form to fight with Kang Chul-In, victory would definitely have been Desdemonaâs. No, not just victory. She wouldâve completely pushed Kang Chl-In down. She couldâve easily deflected Kang Chul-Inâs attacks and she could have used level-11 and level-12 magic to break through his S++ skill.
However, she didnât do that. It was because she never wouldâve imagined that her life would be in danger in her human body. Also, Desdemonaâs battle experience wasnât that high because she had been so powerful. All the battles she fought beforehand were one-sidedly in her favor.
I-IâŠ
Desdemona trembled as she faded away. An intense pain was whipping inside of her. Mitra had a vortex property that was whirling around in her body so her internal organs would obviously be crushed.
I⊠lost to a m-mere human?
And with that thought,
Plop!
Desdemona fell.
â...!â
Everyone was surprised.
âH-His MajestyâŠâ
Especially Drakan.
âDefeated a⊠true dragon?â
It was impossible for Kang Chul-In to defeat a true dragon no matter how strong he was. It was natureâs law that a human couldnât win against a true dragon, but he had won. Although Desdemona had lost during an attack while she was changing into her true form, there was no doubt that Kang Chul-In was victorious.
âThis powerful little girl.â
Kang Chul-In was also surprised.
âShe survived even after being hit with that?â
Mitra was a holy sword, but that was only when its opponents were human. Desdemona was a dragon, one that would be extremely weak against Mitraâs properties. The fact her body hadnât exploded even with a vortex inside of her meant that her physique was beyond imagination.
It was even more shocking that she wasnât dead, but had just fainted. There was probably no stronger living being in the world than her.
âIf we actually went at it⊠I wouldâve died.â
The proud Kang Chul-In couldnât help but acknowledge it as well. If she had succeeded in changing, he wouldâve most definitely lost. Oraclomind was telling him that the amount of mana within Desdemona wasnât something a human could handle. Kang Chul-In could feel an immense amount of mana that he wouldnât have been able to look at even back when he was at his strongest.
âWell, since I did winâŠâ
It wasnât a victory that he liked, but it was a victory nevertheless.
âNow I need toâŠâ
While he was muttering to himself, he suddenly wavered and fell over.
Plop!
Dammit!
The mana in his heart was jumping around. The drakeâs heart wasnât completely absorbed before he fought and side effects that were hard to handle had come along with it.
I have to⊠controlâŠ
Kang Chul-In tried to calm the sparking mana down, but it was breaking his body in real-time, not able to be controlled.
Stop⊠pleaseâŠ
âY-your Majesty!â
âYour Majestyyyyyy-!â
âSupport His Majesty, quick!â
âWhat are you all doing!?â
He could see his subordinates frantically dashing over, crying out for him.
Pat!
At the same time, Kang Chul-In lost consciousness.
***
In the VVIP hospital room of Valhalla Kingdom,
âH-Husband!â
âHoney!â
âDadddd!â
Kang Chul-In was greeted by his family when he opened his eyes.
âHow long⊠has it been?â
The first thing he spoke about was how much time had passed because he felt like it had been a while, but his question was buried under Arshellyâs cries.
âDaddddd!â
Tears were brimming in her eyes as she ran into his arms.
âHeuk... Dad, I thought you were going to dieâŠâ
â...!?â
âDonât get hurt like that again, okay? Heuk, heukâŠâ
Arshelly seemed to be quite surprised.
âHusband⊠why would you fight with a true dragon... Goodness!â
Ninetails spoke with an angry face.
âWere you planning on making me into a widow? Hm?â
â...â
âI hate you! I really really hate you!â
Normally, she wouldâve greeted him with a smiling face since she was the oldest of his wives, but she seemed to be inconsolable considering who he had just fought.
âYeah, sheâs right!â
Lee Chae-Rin began to nag as well.
âWhy!? Until when will you make us worry!? Hm?â
Adding onto that,
âYour Majesty⊠you were too careless this timeâŠâ
Skadi, who had recently made some progress with him, also spoke up.
âYour Majesty, when will you think of your bodyâŠ?â
âGoodness⊠how will I save you if my heart is beating so fast? Hm?â
Lucia and Alfred scolded him as well.
âUmâŠâ
Kang Chul-Inâs response to everything was the definition of responsibility.
âItâs fine since I didnât die.â
He was ever the same.
âThe time? How long was I lying down?â Kang Chul-In asked Alfred.
âIt has been two weeks, Your Majesty.â
âSo itâs been a while.â
âThatâs not something someone whoâs been unconscious for 2 weeks should say. How can someone who has a family now be so irresâŠâ
âKeuk!â
â...!â
âA-Alfred⊠I⊠it hurts a lotâŠâ
Kang Chul-In gripped his chest and made a pained face.
âIn the future⊠when Iâm better⊠thenâŠâ
â...â
âIâm too tired right nowâŠâ
It was an excuse. Alfredâs Blood Heal was an overpowered healing skill healed Kang Chul-In from the exploding mana. He was only trying to get out of the nagging by pretending like he was still hurt.
A vein popped out on Alfredâs forehead, but the old vampire could calm his rage down. It wasnât the first time that Kang Chul-In had caused a mess and returned to be healed by Alfred.
Huhu!
Alfred laughed internally.
Is there a need for me to nag!? You now have her Majesties.
Yes, it was time for Alfred to stop nagging. To be frank, who would want to be a nagger? This was all just a natural result of Kang Chul-In being such a troublemaker. But now, it was different.
âI hate you!â
âAre you going to stay quiet like that? Your Majesty?â
âYour Majesty⊠you need to take care of yourself sometimes tooâŠâ
Alfred didnât have to nag because Kang Chul-Inâs wives were doing that role for him.
âDad⊠heuk⊠if you get hurt like that Iâm so sadâŠâ
Arshellyâs desperate plea was added on top of that.
âO-Oh, dearâŠâ
Kang Chul-In stopped pretending to be hurt and suffered from the nag attack of the four women. No, he thought he was going to suffer.
Urrrng!
Laputa suddenly shook.
âIs something the matter?â
âIt seems like the dragon is struggling, â Alfred replied.
âThe dragon?â
Kang Chul-Inâs eyes widened.
âThat bitch is here?â
âYes, Your Majesty.â
âThe reason?â
âYour subordinates said that she needed to die by your hand.â
âAh, I see.â
He nodded his head.
âBut it probably wasnât easy to tie her up.â
âIndeed, Your Majesty. It was possible because the dragon isnât in a good condition. Nilus, and her Highness, who were in charge of sealing her, said a week would be the limit.â
âYeah, father! That bad dragon unnie is super strong!â
âYour Majesty! Are you up?â
Just then, Drakan ran into the hospital room like he was flying and reported to Kang Chul-In.
âYour Majesty, the true dragon Desdemona is causing a ruckus saying that she requests to meet you.â
âMe?â
âYes, Your Majesty.â
As soon as he finished speaking,
-Hey!
A sharp voice shook Laputa.
-Hey, you cowardly bastard! Are you listening? Huh?
It seemed like even though she was sealed her mouth was alive.
-Just a few words, You human bastard!
And that shout made a vein pop out on Kang Chul-Inâs forehead.
âWhere does she think this is?â
Not only did she destroy his wifeâs home (although in reality, that was Kang Chul-in), Desdemona was now acting noisily in his home.
Clench!
Kang Chul-In tightened his fists and burst up from the bed.
âLead the way, Drakan.â
âY-your MajestyâŠâ
âNow!â
âUnderstood.â
âI must educate that girl.â
Everyone knew that education here meant mental training.
ButâŠ
A flame of greed grew in Kang Chul-Inâs head as he moved.
Do true dragons have dragon hearts too?
If he absorbed her dragon heart after butchering her⊠Kang Chul-In thought that he might be able to destroy a planet.
***
The ancient Black Dragon Desdemona was quarantined in Kang Chul-Inâs individual training room with her limbs all tied up.
But,
âW-What is this!?â
Kang Chul-In was taken aback.
âGoodnessâŠâ
The method that Desdemona was tied up inâŠ
Podolski!
She was tied up like a tortoise.
âHey!â
Desdemona shouted with rage seeing Kang Chul-In.
âYou pervert!â
â...â
âYou ordered this, right?â
â...â
âWhy would you tie me up like this, huh?â
Desdemonaâs ears were red, humiliated and embarrassed to be in that position.
It was a relief that she wasnât naked.
âAhem~!â
The one behind the monstrous tying method, Podolski, shrugged.
âPodolskiâŠâ
âYes, Your Majesty!â
âCan you tie her up in an appropriate manner?â
âHaha⊠when else would I be able to tie up a true dragon in my lifetime?â
â...â
âIt was an honor for my family, Your Majesty.â
After he replied, he used Dorianâs Epic Item, Obscura, that he mustâve borrowed and took a selfie with Desdemona in the background.
That crazy bastardâŠ
Kang Chul-Inâs teeth shivered in humiliation and he covered his eyes.
He was tired. Podolski was an excellent subordinate, but his problem was that his strange taste was revealed whenever he tied someone up.
âHey, human.â
While Kang Chul-In didnât know what to do in the awkward situation, Desdemona growled.
âLet me go this instant.â
â...?â
âItâs too humiliating, so let me go.â
Desdemona didnât seem to know her place. Her attitude was ridiculous.
âHaaa...â
Kang Chul-In sighed in disbelief and grabbed Desdemonaâs club, Pain Maker.
