The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 104

Chapter 104 . Entering the Valhalla Dungeon

Kim Sung-hee couldn’t believe her eyes .

‘W-With just the two of them…!’

The sight of Kang Chul-In and Dorian combining forces to fight off the 500+ men of Alex Rothschild was much too shocking for her .

Not only that, but . . .

‘I tried to fight against that man…?’

Now realizing that she had severely and incredibly underestimated Kang Chul-In’s strength, she couldn’t lift her head .

‘Hah… how stupid and arrogant must I have seemed to him? I must have been crazy . ’

She wasn’t an idiot .

Though she was known as the daughter to a major conglomerate in Korea and was born with a gold spoon in her mouth, she wasn’t someone that couldn’t think for herself .

“Hey, eyewitness!”

Kang Chul-In called her from afar .

“ . . . Yes?”

At the word ‘eyewitness’, Kim Sung-hee’s face stiffened .

“W-Wait a minute!”

Almost wetting her pants out of fear, Kim Sung-hee started to take slow steps backwards .

“P-Please…! Can you spare me just this one time?”

Kim Sung-hee realized that in Pangaea, her status as the daughter of a big, powerful company was of no use whatsoever .

She knew that her life was in the hands of Kang Chul-In .

Pft---

Kang Chul-In smirked .

“ . . . !”

Kim Sung-hee froze in place, scared of what would come next .

“I like the fact that you aren’t too stupid and dull . At least you don’t want to die, huh?”

Kang Chul-In said .

“T-Then…!”

“Hey, you fly . ”

Kang Chul-in once again called out .

“Fly?”

“Yeah, you . I called you a fly because you keep buzzing around us like a mosquito or a fly would . If you don’t like it, then…”

‘He called me a fly… But, I’m still a girl, you know? How can he be so mean…’

Although Kim Sung-hee’s pride was deflated…

“N-No, it’s alright . You might not know my name, right?”

She could still endure it . At least she could keep her precious life .

“Kim Sung-hee, right?”

“Yes…”

“I know your name . ”

Hearing this, Kim Sung-hee tried her best to suppress her anger, and looked at Kang Chul-In’s face, speechless .

‘How can someone be so frustrating and annoying?!’

Looking at Kang Chul-In’s slight smile, Kim Sung-hee tried her best to calm herself down .

Kang Chul-In then continued with,

“Hey, I need you to complete a task for me . ”

Kang Chul-In wanted to use Kim Sung-hee .

He would try and use her to put Aleister into a trap .

-----

“This is a chance for you, fly . ”

Kang Chul-In wanted to make a deal with her .

“This task… this task is an opportunity?”

“Yeah . ”

“I don’t understand? How will a task you give me be an opportunity?”

As the words ‘opportunity’ and ‘chance’ piqued her interest, Kim Sung-hee futhered inquired .

“I’ll give you strength . ”

“ . . . !”

“It seems like you want to get stronger, no? Of course, it will be nigh impossible for you to become as powerful as me, or even this pushover over here . ”

Kang Chul-In stared at Dorian and spoke .

“I already told you, I’m not a pushover…!”

“Whatever you say, pushover . ”

Kang Chul-In didn’t care whether Dorian got upset or not .

“I’ll make you two to three times stronger than you are now . ”

“ . . . Really?”

“Of course . ”

“If that’s the case, it must be a very difficult ‘task’ . ”

“Of course it is . This is a task where you need to put your life on the line . If you are able to complete it successfully, I’ll make you stronger . But if you fail…”

“I would die?”

“No . ”

“No?”

“You would suffer a fate even worse than dying . ”

Kim Sung-hee couldn’t understand what kind of task required her to take a risk that was ‘worse than dying’ .

‘This is madness!’

Although she wanted to reject this offer right now…

‘ . . . He might kill me if I reject this proposal . I’m an eyewitness, after all . ’

“Are you scared?”

“Yes . . . of course I am . ”

“Then don’t do it . ”

“But if I reject it…”

“I won’t kill you . ”

“Of course you won’t… Huh?!”

Kim Sung-hee was startled .

“Really? You won’t kill me?”

Kim Sung-hee then realized how insignificant she was in the eyes of Kang Chul-In, and how she was just a small, passing existence .

“Then, can I hear the contents of the task first?”

“Don’t ask me . My thoughts are that if you truly wanted to become powerful, you wouldn’t care about the methods . So, I’ll ask you one last time . Will you do it?”

Kang Chul-In had a tendency to look at people who stayed true to their desires on a high pedestal, and Kim Sung-hee was someone who fit that criteria well .

“ . . . Yes, I think I will . ”

-------

After washing their bloodied bodies in a nearby stream, Kang Chul-In and Dorian immediately headed into the underground passage that leads to the Valhalla dungeon .

‘It’s been a while’ .

Kang Chul-In reminisced of the past, remembering ‘the old days’ before he had reincarnated .

But…

This sensation didn’t last for too long .

Because suddenly, a message popped up in front of his eyes .

[Can you handle ‘their’ rage and hatred?]
