âHe said heâs the Emperor of Blood and Iron.â
âReally?â
âYeah.â
âKuk, kuk kuk kukâŠâ Kang Chul-In laughed.
âW-Whatâs wrongâŠâ
âKuk kukâŠâ
âHey⊠y-youâre scaring meâŠâ
âKuk⊠so thatâs what happened⊠alrightâŠ!â
However, Kang Chul-In didnât answer Dorian and just muttered to himself.
Shiver!
Dorian trembled at the ominous feeling running down his back.
âThe Emperor of Blood and Iron⊠explain what happened in detail.â
âHm?â
âTell me what happened.â
âT-ThatâsâŠâ
Dorian felt wronged at Kang Chul-Inâs sharp attitude but he didnât point it out. It was because he thought that there was a reason why Kang Chul-In was being like that.
âSoâŠâ
Dorian began to spill everything.
***
Heh.
Dorian was shocked when he saw Kang Chul-Inâs smile.
âW-What? Did you follow me here?â
Why was the person who ordered him to find the grave of the Emperor of Blood and Iron already here? Dorian thought he was tricked.
âOf courseâŠâ Kang Chul-In replied. âNot.â
âWhat is it then? Kang Chul-In, you reallyâŠâ
âNo.â Kang Chul-In shook his head.
âHuhâŠ?â
âIâm not Kang Chul-In.â
âWhat? Are you kidding me right now? I might be a pushover, but even I donât like these kinds of bad jokes.â
Dorian seemed to be acknowledging that he was a pushover now.
âHuh? Since when has your hair been that longâŠâ
There were a few things different about the Kang Chul-In in front of him. Somethingâs strange. Something was definitely strange. The Kang Chul-In he knew didnât have long black hair like a rock star and didnât have the same red eyes that Arshelly did.
It was strange. The person in front of him looked extremely similar to the Kang Chul-In he knew, but the overall atmosphere around him was darker and foreign.
And his clothes⊠The man who looked similar to Kang Chul-In was obviously someone of a high position. They mustâve been made out of precious material. The iridescent red crown looked like it was made of material out of this world, and his clothes also showed that he was an important person.
âW-Who are youâŠ?â
Click.
Dorian gripped the God Hand gauntlet in his fists after realizing that it wasnât Kang Chul-In.
âI...â However, the person ignored Dorianâs powerful gesture and spoke. âAm Julius Berlineta Pon Aurangzeb.â
âW-What?â
âThe 27th emperor of the great Ancient empire and my nickname is the Emperor of Blood and Iron.â
âEmperor of Blood and I-IronâŠ?â
Dorian had an astonished expression. The Emperor of Blood and Iron? This person was saying that he was the owner of the grave he had been raiding.
âW-What⊠youâre really the Emperor of Blood and Iron?â
His anger was understandable. He was annoyed that everyone called him a pushover, and even this person calling himself the Emperor of Blood and Iron was calling him a pushover. Not to mention, this was the first time they were meeting.
âIâm just calling it as I see it.â
âWhat?â
âStop with the chit chat and bring Kang Chul-In to me.â
âThis bastard reallyâŠ!â
The angry Dorian swung his fust.
Smack!
It was a loud sound.
âAck!â
But the one who hunched over wasnât the man who called himself the Emperor of Blood and Iron.
âAackâŠâ Dorian groaned. âH-HowâŠ?â
âThis wonât do.â
Smirk!
He wore a cold smile.
That meantâŠ
âI guess you need some mental training?â
It was a merciless response.
âN-No!â
âYes.â
At the same time,
Pababababac!
The man who looked like Kang Chul-In began to punch Dorianâs head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toesâŠ
Yep, his entire body.
âAaaack!â
A scream exploded from Dorianâs mouth.
***
â...So.â
Kang Chul-In opened his mouth with a flabbergasted face.
âYou were beaten up a bunch?â
âYeahâŠâ
âWithout being able to get a single punch in?â
âHe was stronger than you.â
â...â
âIâm being serious⊠I couldnât hit him at allâŠâ
A vein popped out of Kang Chul-Inâs forehead. A manâs pride! Of course he would be upset that his best friend (?) Dorian said the Emperor of Blood and Iron was stronger than him.
âThatâs because youâre weak.â Kang Chul-In mocked Dorian. âHow useless. You should've trained harder.â
âW-What?â
âWhat if you met an illusion or a superior doppelganger that wasnât the Emperor of Blood and Iron? Youâre not actually believing that someone from a thousand years ago is still alive, right?â
âT-Thatâs true, but he wasnât an illusion or a doppelganger!â
âWhat do you mean he wasnât?â
âUgh⊠ughâŠ!â
âTsk⊠what a pushover to come back after getting beat upâŠâ
âThatâs not it!â
âWhatever, letâs go.â Kang Chul-In ignored Dorianâs argument and began to move.
âW-Where?â
âHeâll have to pay the price.â
â...!â
âHe dares to tell me to come and go?â
Crunch! Kang Chul-In grounded his teeth.
Seeing how he uses force⊠he wonât be an illusion like last time⊠then that means I can hit him, right? Hehe⊠Iâll show you this time, ghost of the Emperor of Blood and Iron.
It was a good chance to let him know his place.
***
In a secret lab 10 floors underground in the Pentagon...
Boil boilâŠ!
In a large glass casket, blood-red liquid was boiling like crazy inside.
âAre you finally awake?â The one watching it, a member of the Agnaga, the Time Lord, Milenius, had a satisfied smile. âItâs about time you did⊠Iâve been waiting a long time⊠a thousand years as a human is too longâŠâ
A thousand years. Milenius was muttering that the man standing inside the glass casket was someone from a thousand years ago.
Flash!
â...!â
The man inside the glass casket opened his closed eyes and a bright light started to be emitted from then.
âOho.â Milenius smiled. âFinally?â
â...â
âCome out, emperor of the past. If youâre up, you must escape that uncomfortable glass casket and walk your path of revenge, right?â
As soon as he finished.
Kwang!
The large man inside punched his head-sized fist at the glass.
Crack! Kwang!
Continued punches! Small fractures appeared on the surface of the glass like spiderwebs,
Kwang!
And on the third punch,
Clang!
The glass pattered down in pieces. The red liquid inside came spewing outside like a water fountain.
Thump!
A large man stepped out of the glass casket.
SsssâŠ!
Mist steamed from all over his body.
He had a large body of 2 meters, long black hair, and red eyes. The appearance of the man who woke up was as scary as a demon king.
âWhew.â
The man sighed. It wasnât because he was exhausted, but because it was his first breath in a while.
âNot a bad function.â Milenius had a satisfied smile and nodded. âBreaking the casket made of Divine Pieces with just three punches⊠definitely fitting of the man who was once called Demon Body.â
Divine Pieces were extremely rare minerals in Pangaea. They were even better than dragon bones. His strength couldnât be described in words.
âHow is the air of Pangaea after breathing it in for the first time in a while?â
â...â
âIsnât it new?â
â...â
âYouâve been resurrected after a thousand years, so it should be great.â
The man didnât reply. He just observed Milenius silently. And after a while...
âHmmm...â
The large man looked down at his hands and body with amusement.
âResurrection⊠how fun.â
That was it.
âHell was fine, but Iâve been bored, so things turned out well.â
He was speaking calmly about hell, something that all humans were afraid of⊠where was this man from?
âBut⊠who are you?â
The large man spoke to Milenius. He acted as he had just seen him, so Mileniusâs pride was hurt.
âYou dare?â
â...?â
âA mere creation doesnât recognize his owner? Heh⊠how amusing⊠your ego must be strong because you yourself are strong in the first placeâŠâ
â...â
âWell, Iâll let you go this time.â
â...â
âKneel, creation.â
Milenius ordered.
âYou should be saluting me, butâŠâ
It was then.
A cold smile spread on the manâs face.
âCreatorâŠâ
âOf courseâŠâ
âWhat a funny thing that you, a parasite, are saying.â
â...!â
âWhy, did you think I wouldnât be able to see what you are because you have a mask on?â
At the same time, the large man grabbed Mileniusâs body.
âKukâŠ!â
âParasite.â
âKuk⊠kukâŠ!â
âKnow your place.â
âW-Wait⊠l-let me goâŠ!â
âIâŠâ
The large man spoke.
âAm the 26th emperor of the Ancient Empire. I am the great being ruling over all of this land and have the right to decide on whether one lives or dies.â
âKukâŠ!â
âBut⊠a lower-level being like you dares to say heâs my creator?â
â...!
âIâll show you who should be saluting who.â
The man who called himself the Emperor of Blood and Ironâs father tightened his hand. It was unbelievable strength.
W-WhatâŠ!
Milenius was shocked.
I-I canâtâŠ
He couldnât resist. Milenius, who had once destroyed the titan of a Lord with one blow was powerless in front of Saturnusâ strength.
Not to mention, his skill of controlling time wasnât activating.
âDie.â
DammitâŠ!
Milenius shut his eyes. The 26th emperor of the Ancient Empire, Saturnus Berlineta Pon Aurangzeb, the tyrant of the century who pushed the empire into a hole of despair and caused an awful amount of carnage had resurrected.
The horrendous Emperor of Lunacy and Darkness.
