âIâll beat him up.â Kang Chul-In turned towards the sewers to punish the Emperor of Blood and Iron, putting Dorian in front of him.
âIâm being seriousâŠâ
âWhat are you talking about?â
âThat Emperor of Blood and Iron guy is really strong.â
âStop pulling my leg.â
âIâm being serious!â
âItâs because youâre weak.â Dorian and Kang Chul-In grumbled with each other while heading towards the sewers.
âFine.â Dorian said, deciding to pull out his final card.
âWhatâs fine?â
âLetâs make a bet.â
âBetâŠ?â
âYeah.â Dorian nodded.
âWhat kind of bet?â
âIf Iâm right or if youâre right.â
âYouâll probably lose though.â
âIâll win! The Emperor of Blood and Iron is stronger than you! I couldnât get a single punch in!â
Dorianâs statement wasnât baseless. Even though Kang Chul-In was strong and Dorian was a pushover, when the two of them went at it, it was hard for the winning rate to be 100%.
It was about 9:1. Of course, Kang Chul-In was likely to win by about 90%, but the 10% wasnât something to look down on. To be honest, Kang Chul-In didnât think he could defeat Dorian in a fight without allowing a single punch from him. Of course, he wouldnât allow it to be a critical one.
Thereâs some kind of trick to it.
However, Kang Chul-In didnât even consider that the Emperor of Blood and Iron was the real one. The Emperor of Blood and Iron died. A thousand years ago, at that. If he hadnât died, he wouldnât have called Kang Chul-In his reincarnation.
There were two possibilities.
An excellent shadow that can use force.
Or,
A doppelganger that can defeat even a loser.
That was as far as Kang Chul-In knew.
Well⊠that Emperor of Blood and Iron probably has some kind of temper⊠I wonder if he can use Oraclomind?
Also, Kang Chul-In was thinking with his smart brain that the Emperor of Blood and Iron could use the Oraclomind. It was a reasonable guess.
Itâll still be a fake though.
Kang Chul-In was confident.
âWell, fine.âKang Chul-In accepted Dorianâs offer. âLetâs do it.â
âReally?â
âOf course.â
âYou canât go back on your word.â
âDonât make me repeat myself.â
âO-OkayâŠâ
âWhat will you bet?â
âHmm⊠gold is the best, right?â
âSure.â
Yes, money. The best thing to raise the stakes was gold.
âHow much are you gonna bet?â
âHmmm⊠50,000?â
â100,000.â
â...!â
âOr 150,000?â
âH-Heek!?â Dorian gasped at the unbelievable amount. 150,000 gold wasnât an easy amount of money to attain, even if one was an Overlord.
âWhy, are you scared because the money is too much?â That was how sure he was. He was planning on taking everything from Dorian that he could get. âWell, if youâre scared we can stop.â
â...!â
âOn top of being a pushover, youâre a scaredy-cat. Sounds about right.â
His mocking continued.
Tremble, trembleâŠ!
Dorianâs body shook.
âI-Itâs true Iâm a pushover but Iâm not a scaredy-cat!â
âReally?â
âYeah.â
âThen letâs do the bet.â
âT-ThatâsâŠâ
âSo you were a scaredy-cat like I thoughtâŠâ
âLetâs do it!â Dorian shouted. âLetâs do it! Do it! I have money too!â
âYouâre being serious?â
âYeah!â
âHmm⊠youâre sure you wonât regret it?â
âYeah.â
âGood.â Kang Chul-In smirked. âYouâre pretty gutsy,â
âHumph!â
âOh, and also.â
âHm?â
âCall Moth and tell her to get the money ready.â
âWhat?â
âYouâre gonna lose.â
Kang Chul-In put on his classic evil smile and walked past him.
âThatâŠ!â Dorian followed Kang Chul-In with an angry face. âWait and see, Kang Chul-In⊠saying Iâm a liar... humphâŠ!â
Dorian was really angry this time. However, he was missing something important.
No one who told Kang Chul-In to âwait and seeâ had been able to smile at the end!
***
I-Is this deathâŠ!?
Milenius felt the fear of death for the first time while being gripped by Saturnus. He had never felt it before. Milenius always turned back time when he was in dangerous situations and extended his life. It was impossible for death to touch him, but it was different this time.
âKuk⊠what a fun bastardâŠâ Strangely, his skill wasnât working at the moment. âYou dare to attempt to play with time under my territory?â
â...!â
âVery funnyâŠâ
Milenius wasnât able to say anything from the shock.
âBut...â That is, until Saturus began to speak the âvery shocking truth.â
âYou overlooked one thing, foreign being.â
âK-Kuk..!â
âMaybe you can bring me back under another appearance, but resurrecting me?â
â...!â
âNo matter how talented you are at playing with time, you didnât really think you could break the rules of the Underworld, hm?â
âW-What are youâŠ!?â
âFoolish bastard.â Saturnus scoffed at Milenius. âI am someone from the true hell, ââ â â â â .ââ
Beep...
Milenius couldnât hear the ââ â â â â â that Saturnus was talking about. This was because what Saturnus was saying wasnât something beyond their planet but beyond their dimension.
W-What is thisâŠ!
However, he was sure of one thing. There was no doubt that he, an Agnaga, had summoned something that he shouldnât have.
âAndâŠâ Saturnus continued with a vicious smile. âYou know that the moment you called me here, the time paradoxes youâve been causing wonât be happening anymore, right?â
â...!â
âAlsoâŠâ What he said after was even scarier. âYou will pay the price for that.â
âW-What kind⊠kukâŠ!â
âHell.â
â...!â
âYouâll be trapped in the true hell, â â â â â , where those who broke the laws of dimensions go, and forever be in pain.â
â...!â
âFoolish being, look into my eyes.â
âUkâŠ!â
Milenius tried to avoid looking into Saturnusâ eyes. He felt like he shouldnât look into them. However⊠Saturnus turned Mileniusâs head with his powerful grip.
â...!â
The surprised Milenius ended up looking into his eyes without even getting the chance to close them.
Shiver!
At that moment,
âH-Hik!?â
Milenius saw something in those eyes.
T-This isâŠ!
It was most definitely an image of â â â â â .
âAck!â
âKek, hahahahaâŠâ
âAaaaaaack!â
âHahaâŠ!â
âAaaaaaackâŠ! S-Save meeeeeee!â
Just what had he seen? Milenius screamed like he was being tortured.
âCan you see hell? The â â â â â ?â
âKuk⊠aaaaack!â
âEnjoy it all you want, you foolish being!â
âKuk⊠huk⊠huuukkâŠ!â
âItâs where youâll go after you die so enjoying it before then will be a great experience.â
âHukâŠ!â
After a while.
âH-Huk⊠hukâŠ!â
Milenius panted after barely escaping from the fear.
âDo you know your place now?â
âHuk... hukâŠâ
âKneel.â
â...!â
âYouâve called me into this world, so you must become my servant, no?â
Their positions were changed. Saturnusâ existence was greater and more evil than what Milenius had thought, and now he wasnât able to control his own creation. The cart was put before the horse.
âKukâŠâ
âWhy, you donât want to?â Saturnus pressured Milenius. âGuess you want to go to â â â â â now, hm?â
âT-ThatâsâŠ!â
âYouâve already broken the rules of dimensions, and the moment you die, you will be locked in â â â â â .â
â...!â
âDo you want to go there faster?â
âN-No, sir!â
âThen choose.â
â...!â
âIf youâll become my servant and postpone being locked in there, orâŠâ
âI-Iâll do it!â The fearful Milenius bowed at Saturnusâs feet. âI-I will become your servant⊠y-your faithful servantâŠ! Oh, masterâŠ!â
âKukâŠâ
âJust not deathâŠ!â
âFine.â Saturnus nodded with a satisfied expression. âYou should do that, you lowly being.â
âYes, sirâŠâ
âBut...â
âPlease speak, masterâŠâ
âWhere am I, and how much time has passed since I died?â
âThatâsâŠâ
âIs my son, Julius, still alive?â
That was what he was most curious about. Whether his son, the 27th emperor of the Ancient Empire, was still alive.
âMasterâŠâ Milenius replied. âAs I already said, it has been a thousand yearsâŠâ
âTime has no meaning to my cute son.â
Saturnus was right. Resurrection, reincarnation, and regression⊠to Julius, who had these three powers, a thousand years wasnât a big deal.
âThatâsâŠâ
â...?â
âThere is someone whoâs assumed to be the reincarnation of your sonâŠâ
Milenius began to speak about Kang Chul-Inâs tales.
***
In the Esmeralda territory, under the sewers, where the grave of the Emperor of Blood and Iron was thought to be...
âHave you come?â
The Emperor of Blood and Iron greeted Kang Chul-In.
âComing all the way here, as expected of my reincarnation.â
â...â
âHave you been well?â
He was speaking in a friendly tone.
âShut up with the fake greetings.â
However, Kang Chul-In rejected the Emperor of Blood and Ironâs greetings.
âHow sensitive.â
âYouâre not even human, so why bother with greetings?â
âNot human?â
âA cyborg?â
â...!â
âNo, youâre not a cyborg either. Iâve never seen something thatâs made up like you are.â
Kang Chul-Inâs insight was sharp. His Oraclomind allowed him to see the general identity of the Emperor of Blood and Iron.
âWell, anyway.â
â...â
âIt doesnât matter what you are.â
âIt doesn't matter?â
âOf course not.â
Kang Chul-In nodded.
âThen what does?â
âDo I have to say it myself?â
âThatâs why I asked, reincarnation of mine.â
It was then.
Kashing!
Kaiforce began to speed towards the Emperor of Blood and Iron. Fists over words. Kang Chul-Inâs dirty temperament had raised its head.
