The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 110

Chapter 110 . Reunion (1)

“Me? I am a ‘true’ vampire! Not one of those dirty half-bloods you can see just about anywhere . ”

The blonde-haired man opened his mouth .

True Vampire .

These were beings superior to normal vampires and were also known to be contenders for being a ‘Vampire Lord’, the kings of all vampires . Basically, they were the nobles of the Vampire race .

“Thaddeus, Alfred Northrod de Thaddeus . That’s me . ”

As soon as Kang Chul-In heard the name of the vampire, his expression turned extremely ominous .

Alfred?

This young, blonde-haired man standing in front of him was his old secretary?

‘How can this be…’

He couldn’t believe it .

No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t get himself to believe that this blonde-haired man in front of him was Alfred .

Though Alfred in Kang Chul-In’s memory also had blonde hair, he wasn’t as young as this .

Kang Chul-In tried his best to remember how Alfred looked like in his memories and compared his image to the Alfred standing in front of him .

It wasn’t easy .

They were polar opposites; one a handsome young man, while the other an old man who just liked to speak to him as if he were Kang Chul-In’s own mother, always talking to him about marriage .

It was a stereotype that only Kang Chul-In possessed .

To him, Alfred was an old man . Whether it be 10 years ago, 50 years ago, 100 years ago, or 1000 years ago . Even when Alfred was born .

Kang Chul-In had never thought about Alfred’s appearance when he was younger .

‘Is this . . . really Alfred?”

Kang Chul-In looked carefully at Alfred’s face .

‘Eyes… nose… they’re all similar . ’

As for his hair . . . he was always blonde, so he didn’t need to look at that .

‘And his mouth…’

The distinguishing thing about Alfred’s appearance was his noble-looking mouth .

‘It’s the same . ’

Though it was difficult to believe due to him having such a different appearance than the one from before, it was undeniable that he could see traces of Alfred within the face before him .

‘Alfred… Alfred . The Valhalla Territory, no, the people inside the Valhalla Dungeon are not sane . Lucy, Bellatrix, and even the Immortal Vanguard . That means…’

“Alfred . ”

Kang Chul-In called out to his old Secretary, with a wisp of a smile on his face .

“It’s been a long time . ”

Though it had been a long time and his appearance was not the same, Alfred was still Alfred . It had to be a pleasant surprise for Kang Chul-In .

So instead of fighting, he asked another question .

“Do you remember me, Alfred?”

Kang Chul-In asked, with a sliver of hope remaining inside of him .

“Kuk…”

But Alfred laughed .

“Kuku… Remember you…? Do I remember you…? Kukuku…”

“A true vampire that had risen to the status of a Lord Candidate… Would he remember you? A puny human? Ha!”

His words were full of insanity and bloodlust, and it didn’t seem that he remembered Kang Chul-In at all .

But Kang Chul-In wasn’t flustered .

“Is that it…? Even you cannot remember me and have to fight, Alfred?”

“Kuku… A lowly human like you… you’re going to speak to me like that? Kuku… HOW DARE YOU!”

Kang Chul-In and Alfred, the two who once had the relationship of servant and master, faced each other and growled .

After that…

CLANG-!

-----

Not even 5 minutes into the fight .

“Kang Chul-In… is being pushed back?”

Dorian was astonished .

It was surprising to Dorian because to him, Kang Chul-In was meant to be invincible . He had never been pushed back so hard in a fight before .

However, at this very moment, Kang Chul-In was fighting an extremely dangerous battle against a True Vampire .

Whiiing!

Puk…

Charged with the spell Vortex, Kaiforce pierced through the heart of Alfred .

A few moments afterwards, Alfred’s stomach was completely blown away from the aftershock of the Vortex . However…

“Puny and useless tricks . ”

Though his heart was punctured, Alfred laughed maniacally and dashed towards Kang Chul-In .

“As if they would work on me!”

Saying that, Alfred grabbed Kang Chul-In’s collar, and slammed him into the ground . The wound that he had from before had already healed .

“Kang Chul-In!”

Though Dorian was running towards Kang Chul-In in worry…

“Don’t intervene!”

“Don’t come any closer . ”

He was stopped by Kang Chul-In’s shout, as well as Alfred’s words .

“How dare you . ”

The young Alfred stared at Dorian with bloodshot eyes .

“A stupid idiot like you dares to interrupt this noble one’s enjoyment?”

“S-Stupid?”

“Does such a thing like you not have eyes?”

Laughing, Alfred started swearing and dissing Dorian .

“Small height, no dignity in your behavior, and a stupid way of talking--- and not only that! I can sense that you don’t belong anywhere, so you just travel around . A lonely wanderer . ”

Considering that Dorian’s height was 173cm while Alfred was almost 190cm, it made sense that Alfred would call Dorian ‘short’ .

“You disrespectful vampire!”

An angry Dorian rushed towards Alfred even with Kang Chul-In telling Dorian not to do so .

Kuk!

Controlled by the telekinetic powers of Alfred, Dorian stopped midway in his attack, and had to slowly watch as Alfred walked closer, and grabbed his throat with an iron grip .

“Kuk . . ”

“Did you really think that you could do anything to me, pitiful human?”

“K-Kuk…”

Though Dorian tried his best to struggle and put up a fight, Alfred’s choke was just as powerful as Kang Chul-In’s grip, if not stronger .

“You do understand what will happen if I just put a little bit more strength here, right?”

Laughing, Alfred looked at Dorian with his bloodshot eyes .

“Now, it’s time for you to die . Pitiful tra…”

Before he could finish . . .

BANG!

Vortex around it, Kaiforce flew towards Alfred’s head, before completely blowing it up .

“I don’t know if it’s because he’s a true vampire, but that healing factor of his is just ridiculous . ”

“Stay back now . ”

Kang Chul-In looked at Dorian, his face serious .

“But, you’re being pushed back . ”

“With your current level of strength, you won’t be of help to me in this fight . ”

“But…!”

“I’m warning you right now . Don’t . Join . The . Fight . ”

Kang Chul-In emphasized each word .

The opponent was Alfred .

And to Kang Chul-In, the one who had to put rest to his old secretary was none other than him . It was his way of apologizing to his old comrade .

“Seeing as how he doesn’t like you, that’s definitely the Alfred I know . ”

Though he was in a pitiful state, Kang Chul-In still laughed . It was because he once again witnessed Alfred disliking Dorian .

“As a human, you’re not bad . Not bad, but…”

Alfred, who had already healed up from the previous attack, looked at Kang Chul-In again .

“How dare you look down on me, a true vampire? Do you wish to die?”

“Of course I look down on my servants . Should I look up to them instead?”

Laughing, Kang Chul-In once again retorted .

“Servant? Kuku… You’re just a guy who doesn’t know his place . For you, I’ll be especially violent in tearing up your body into pieces and devouring you . ”

Though it was a terrifying threat, it didn’t have an effect on Kang Chul-In .

“You’re welcome anytime . ”

To Kang Chul-In, it didn’t matter what happened to him after death . He wasn’t one to really care about those things .

“But first, it’s time for you to get punished for speaking like that to your Lord . ”

Though his body was severely injured, Kang Chul-In walked forward as if the fight was just beginning .

Of course there was no way that Kang Chul-In, who had laughed at Alex Rothschild and the Lord alliance as he died, would be afraid of a situation like this .

Maybe I’ll have a chance if I use ‘that'…

It was at that moment .

-Do you want my strength?

Vibrating, Kaiforce talked to Kang Chul-In with sweet temptation .
