Chapter 86 . Conquering the Absilon Territory (2)
‘This man…!’
Drakan could recognize what kind of man Kang Chul-In was .
How could he not?
The image of Kang Chul-In riding around his horse on the battlefield was still deeply engraved in her mind .
Leading the Spectre Knights and making their farmlands into a complete wasteland .
The appearance he had when he was taking care of 500 soldiers single-handedly in the Absilon territory .
The appearance he had when he ripped out the feathers of the Bird-man general, Amaru .
… And the appearance when he beat the life out of the Bull-dog general, Demian .
To Drakan, who had seen Kang Chul-In fighting, he was an existence who was basically unstoppable .
“You guys are later than I expected . ”
Kang Chul-In pretended to look at his nonexistent wrist watch .
“You… were waiting? You knew that we would come over here?”
Drakan asked .
“Of course I did . ”
Kang Chul-In answered nonchalantly .
“We… have been played around by you the whole time . ”
“Well, maybe if your crops and your farmlands weren’t stolen by us, you wouldn’t have been led around the nose by us . ”
And at this, Drakan blushed in shame .
“Think of this as the price that you are paying for not thinking enough about your crops . ”
“Price… don’t you think we’ve already paid enough of a price?”
“Could you let us go this time? We have already lost basically everything . We have already lost the food for this winter, and our army has already been exterminated . So please, let some of our soldiers go . Or at least, please let our Lord go . ”
It was a very surprising .
It was almost unheard of for the half-dragon race to beg to their enemies, but it seemed that Drakan cared more about the life of his Lord than his pride .
“Send your Lord away… Well, descendant of the dragon race, what is your name?”
Kang Chul-In spoke to Drakan as if speaking to a subordinate .
“Drakan, my name is Drakan . ”
And Drakan answered back, as if he was compelled to talk back to Kang Chul-In .
“Drakan, huh…”
Kang Chul-In engraved the name into his memory .
“That is a good name, fitting for a descendant of the dragon race . ”
“Thank you . ”
“Then, may I ask for your name and position?”
“I…”
Kang Chul-In opened his mouth .
“Am the Lord, the Lord of the Laputa territory . ”
“… . !”
“And my name is: Kang Chul-In . ”
And as Kang Chul-In revealed his identity, Drakan’s golden eyes were filled with shock .
‘T-This man is the Lord? Dear god…’
“It seems your surprised?”
Kang Chul-In smirked .
“Isn’t it obvious that I’m surprised?”
“Come to me . ”
And Kang Chul-In offered a surprising deal to Drakan .
“If you come over to me, I will save that useless Lord of yours . ”
“R-Really?”
Drakan was tempted, and really thought about it for a while .
“Milord . ”
Drakan spoke .
“This Drakan while block this man’s way . ”
“I will block this man to the best of my ability, so please run away while you can . ”
Rather than picking the easy way out where both of them could live, Drakan decided to cling on to his pride, and sacrifice himself for the sake of his Lord . It was a decision that was befitting of a Drake-man like him .
“Block them?”
“Yes, milord . ”
“N-No… no . Just go to that man… I can only live if you decide to serve him!”
“Milord…”
Drakan, who was calling Gonzales, had no strength left in his voice .
“Go… You can go, so just… go! Go! Please, just go!”
“Drakan! If you are loyal to me, just follow that man . Isn’t saving me the most important thing? I don’t really mind, so just follow that man! Please, go!”
Although a faithful servant was throwing his life on the line to protect the life and the honor of his Lord, Gonzales was just dirtying the pride of his servant, Drakan .
‘This guy is no better than a dog . ’
Kang Chul-In thought .
“Oi . ”
And from Kang Chul-In’s voice was cold, and absolutely terrifying to hear for Gonzales .
“If you do something like that again, to dirty Drakan’s pride, I will put you inside a mixer and make you into a human smoothie, you disgusting bastard . ”
“Now get lost . You don’t have the qualifications to die by my hand . ”
“Drakan . ”
And Kang Chul-In judged Drakan, who unlike Gonzales, was not running away frantically right now, as a great warrior .
“I will respect your decision . ”
‘I… want to serve him…’
Drakan thought to himself .
‘Sigh… Lord Kang Chul-In… how wonderful would it have been if you were milord from the beginning?’
‘Please… if there truly is a chance at reincarnation, let me serve you in my next life . ’
It was at that moment .
As if understanding Drakan’s thoughts, Kang Chul-In stared deeply into Drakan’s eyes, and spoke .
“Drakan . ”
And with those words .
Shing!!!
He changed the Soft Sword Kaiforce’s shape into that of the most basic sword .
“You are pretty good . ”
Kang Chul-In’s weapon was a sword, and Drakan’s was also a greatsword . This gesture meant that Kang Chul-In wanted them to fight in a battle between sword and sword .
“Strength, and speed . You don’t lack both of these things . I can tell that you have been practicing for a long time . Therefore… Come . Let me send you on your way . ”
“The way to the underworld, I will not leave any of my strength behind in this fight . ”
And saying this, Drakan’s blood began to boil in anticipation .
Kang Chul-In, who was standing before his eyes, was undoubtedly powerful .
Although he hadn’t seen the man in front of him going all out, his instincts were telling him .
… That this man was someone that exceeded his imagination, and that he couldn’t win this upcoming battle .
“Are you ready?”
Drakan, who was nervous, spoke .
“Anytime . ”
Kang Chul-In nodded his head .
—
Although Kang Chul-In and his subordinates mainly didn’t care where Gonzales was running to, it was different for some other people .
“Huk… Huk… T-That bastard…”
Rok, who was exhausted at this point, looked around in all directions . Although his surroundings were covered in darkness due to it being night, Rok’s eyes were brighter than ever .
And… Rok, who had completely gone out of the battlefield while chasing Gonzales looked up, and stared at a silhouette not so far away from him .
‘G-Gonzales!’
Rok could tell who it was right away .
How could he not?
It was the one that had taken away the woman that he had loved, no, still loved away . It was impossible for him to forget . And no matter how dark it was, Rok’s eyes stared at Gonzales with a man’s eyes that had terrifying emotions lurking behind it .
‘Kill… I’m going to kill you…’
And thinking this, Rok began to run at the fastest speed that he had ever ran in his entire life .
