Flutter⊠Hundreds of black strings fluttered in the wind.
âOh dear.â
Kang Chul-In smirked.
âYou shouldâve taken better care of your hair. Itâs so weak⊠Hmm⊠Should I get you some glue to stick your hair to your scalp?â
âArghhhhâŠ!â
âWell, itâs not that bad actually.â
â...â
âIt looks like⊠that two-block style that's trendy these days."
Of course, it was all a load of bullshit. Neptune Spear's hair on the sides of his head had fallen out from Kang Chul-In's ridiculous strength. Obviously, other than the fact that he didn't have any side hair, it looked nothing like the two-block style.
Crunch!
Neptune Spear grounded his teeth together.
âYou dare... I'm the King of the South Sea...! Do you think you'll be...!â
âBe what?â
â...â
"You're not trying to threaten me, are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Kwannnng!
The second ship, [Monocle], exploded. It was the work of Dorian Explorer.
"...!"
Neptune Spear was surprised, but that wasn't the end of it.
The Full Metal Dragon⊠No, the Full Metal Drake had pierced through the barrier of the ship, [Atlanta], and began to thrash around.
"Oh no...!
It was a tremendously shocking sight. In the blink of an eye, out of the eleven ships, Alligator, Nemesis, and Monocle were reduced to pieces of scrap metal. Now, even Atlantica was taken overâŠ
The captain's ship, Poseidon, also had Kang Chul-In aboard.
-Heeheehee!
It was then.
-I'm gonna be the only one you beat up, is that it?
Hecate's maniacal voice spread out through the magical voice amplifier.
-Fine⊠let's do it⊠just you wait⊠I'll break you to piecesâŠ!
It was a voice filled with frustrations from being held back. Hecate naturally enjoyed blowing things up, so being held back because of the anti-aircraft guns was horrible for her. However, the tables had turned, because Alligator, Nemesis, Monocle, and Atlantica were all unavailable for battle!
That meantâŠ
âGun one, ready!â
âGun two, ready!â
âGun three, ready!â
âGun four, ready!â
The soldiers of Temeraire all shouted at the top of their lungs.
Fire. The 74 guns of the greatest firepower in Pangaea were about to teach Neptune Spear what the price was for messing with them.
-Wait!
Kang Chul-Inâs voice shook the battlefield.
-Hecate!
-What?
-Stop.
-Hm? Why should I stop? This is our chance.
-Victory is already ours, so thereâs no need to use Fire.
It was true. With Kang Chul-In aboard the captainâs ship, Poseidon, this battle was already the victory of the Valhalla soldiers.
-So?
Hecate asked.
-Are you telling me to stop the attack?
-Of course.
Kang Chul-In nodded.
-Why would you break all of these when theyâre worth a hefty amount of money?
People had to look for opportunities at any chance they got. Neptune Spearâs fleet was worth an astronomical amount, and breaking all of them would be a waste of supplies and manpower.
-But I donât want to.
Hecate continued to argue.
-Iâm gonna break all of them!
-...!
-So what if all those ships are crushed?
She seemed to be furious because Neptune Spearâs fleet had only targeted her.
-I like breaking things too, but this timeâŠ
-No.
-Itâs an order.
-Iâll break them.
-...!
-I canât let this go! So this time, you let it go!
-WhewâŠ
A long sigh escaped Kang Chul-Inâs mouth.
Dammit⊠He bit his lower lip.
From his experience, whenever Hecate was stubborn like thisâŠ
Itâs the real deal this time.
She didnât know how to let others have their way. Hecate didnât have the âfemale Kang Chul-Inâ title for nothing. Of course, she was a lot easier to talk to, but once she started being stubborn, she would never change her mind.
How should I convince herâŠ
Kang Chul-In contemplated.
She probably wonât budgeâŠ
He thought of threatening her, but because Hecate was already angry, it would cause the situation to become worse. But he couldnât just tell her to shoot to her heartâs content.
There were 10 ships in the fleet of iron. If itâs worth was exchanged for financial and tactical assets, it was greater than the Full Metal Dragon by 5 times. It was too priceless to be thrown away to appease Hecate.
-Iâm gonna shoot, so move.
Hecate warned.
-Shoot.
Kang Chul-In shot his shot.
-Huh�
-If you want to shoot, just shoot. Thereâs nothing I can do about it.
-...!?
-InsteadâŠ
Kang Chul-In shut his eyes tight when he spoke.
DripâŠ! Sweat and shivers appeared on his back.
This is the only way. There was nothing else he could do. âThatâ was the only way to make Hecate bend to him this time.
-What! Instead what?!
Hecate raised her voice.
-Are you threateningâŠ
-Youâll never get what you want.
-What do I want?
-I think you spoke about this every time you opened your mouth.
A heavy silence descended on the battlefield after Kang Chul-In spoke. What was he talking about? He was bringing up the relationship between a man and a woman in the middle of the battlefield with the magical voice amplifier?
-S-SoâŠ? Are you saying youâll give it to me?
-Of course not.
-Are you playing with me right now?
-No way.
Kang Chul-In decided to handle Hecate in the calmest attitude possible.
-I donât sell my body like that, so making a deal like this doesnât seem right. I am the king of a kingdom. Iâm saying that I canât give it over just because I want to.
-So what do you want to say?
-The possibility.
-...!
-Iâm not saying Iâll give it to you, but if you donât bend this time, the 1% chance will completely disappear.
It was a cowardly offer, but,
-Huk..!
Not for Hecate.
-If I shoot, youâll never sleep with me?
-I wonât speak twice.
-And if I donât shoot, we can sleep together?
-Thatâs up to you.
Kang Chul-In didnât say what Hecate wanted until the very end,
-HngâŠ
And Hecate was left pondering. It might seem like a pathetic struggle to others, but it was important to her. Would she destroy Neptune Spearâs fleet and give up the âlustful nightâ with Kang Chul-In forever, or would she leave the chance open?
What should I do?
Both of them were so tempting, that Hecate was deep in thought.
ThenâŠ
-Thatâs it?
She began to set conditions.
-What do you want?
-MmâŠ
Hecate thought to herself for a moment and spoke.
-If you become my manâŠ
-...!?
-You have to sleep with me once a week.
-...!
-You canât say that youâre too busy as an excuse. You have to.
Hecate had brought up conditions for when she and Kang Chul-In were completely connected.
-Thatâs not hard.
Kang Chul-In readily accepted the deal.
Itâs a profit. He had to reason to refuse. The conditions that Hecate brought up all hung on an âif,â and if he didnât marry her, nothing would happen.
-Sure, then do that.
Hecate seemed to be taking a step back.
-Oh, also.
-...!?
-Take 26 guns from that bastardâs ship.
She wasnât satisfied with her 74 guns and wanted 100 of them.
-Sure.
-Good.
The strange deal was finished like that.
These bastardsâŠ!
Neptune Spear was flabbergasted. Kang Chul-In and Hecate were treating him as an âextra.â In front of the perfectly healthy King of the South Sea, they were making a deal about whether to destroy his fleet or not? It was humiliating. He was looked down upon.
âHey, youâŠâ
Rage! Neptune Spear shook the Epic-item Triton and screamed.
âSon of a bitch!â
âHm?â
Kang Chul-In saw the trident that was aiming for his chest.
âMmâŠâ
It was slow. Very slow. It mightâve been a fast attack for normal people, but it looked like it was moving in slow-motion to Kang Chul-In.
Swoosh! Kaiforce scattered darkness in 10 different directions, and Neptune Spearâs chest split into ten pieces. Bright red blood spewed out.
Plop! Neptune Spear fell to his knees on the deck. He didnât have the strength to stand anymore.
KashingâŠ! Kang Chul-In held Kaiforce at Neptune Spearâs neck.
âHey, fishermen.â
âY-Yes.â
âGive me everything youâve got.â
The Supreme King (king/thief) of the West. Kang Chul-In was faithful to his profession like always.
***
Meanwhile, at the same time, about 30 kilometres away from the Esmeralda territory, Kwak Jung was receiving a report from a soldier.
âCommander-in-chief!â
âYes?â
âHis Majesty has succeeded in defending Venetz!â
â...!â
âAnd thatâs not it!â
âWhat is it? Didnât he break everything to pieces?â
âNo!â
âHmâŠ?â
âOf the 11 ships, he completely destroyed 2 of them, made 2 of them unfit for warâŠâ
â...!â
âBut has succeeded in taking the remaining seven ships in good condition! Including the two that arenât able to be used for war, he has captured 9 ships!â
âW-What!?â
âAlsoâŠâ
There wasnât an end to the soldierâs report.
âHe has even taken over the Aquatica Kingdom thatâs under the King of the South Sea Neptune Spearâs ruleâŠ!â
âHukâŠ!â
Kwak Jung was taken aback.
That guyâŠ!
He couldnât tell how much stronger he had become.
I thought he would take a break for a day or twoâŠ!
He knew that Kang Chul-In would defend Venetz properly, but he didnât imagine that he would destroy Neptune Spear like thatâŠ
âS-So? What did his Majesty say? He must have said something!â
âT-ThatâsâŠâ
The soldier hesitated.
âWhat is it? Say it quickly, you bastard!â
âHis Majesty said toâŠâ
â...?â
âTake over the Esmeralda territory before he arrives...â
â...â
âIf the Esmeralda territory isnât dominated in two days⊠His Majesty willâŠâ
âM-MeâŠ?â
âGive you mental training.â
âE-Eek?!â
âThat was his messageâŠâ
The soldier carefully handed Kwak Jung a piece of paper.
The content was the following:
To the subordinate I cherish the mostâŠ
Work.
-The Supreme King of the West, Kang Chul-In.
â...â
Kwak Jung was speechless.
âShitâŠâ
It would take at least 3 days to take over the Esmeralda territory.
But two?
âAaackâŠ!â
Kwak Jung groaned painfully.
âC-Commander-in-chief!â
âHeyâŠâ
âYes?â
âGo tell this to everyoneâŠâ
It was a wise decision. The defense of Venetz was a great accomplishment. It would influence the morale of the soldiers.
âIncrease the speed of the march! Unless you want to see me die!â
âYes, sir!â
There was no time. He had to get to work if he wanted to take over Esmeralda territory in 3 days.
***
In a secret lab 10 floors underground in the Pentagon of the Bifrost territory.
âUseless bastardâŠâ
Andrei Ivanovich frowned after checking the rankings.
âI canât believe he didnât even last a dayâŠâ
The result was disappointing to no end.
âWell, I didnât expect much from the beginning.â
Milenius muttered to himself and looked at the great glass casket in front of him. A man was floating around naked in the boiling liquid. The manâs hair was black, and he looked extremely similar to someone.
âYouâll have to step up soon.â
Milenius spoke to the man in the glass casket. Of course, the man didnât reply.
He was still incomplete...
