Chapter 91 . Franz, swearing revenge .

“M-M-Monster…”

‘I… I picked the wrong person to mess with…’

Looking at Kang Chul-In, who had just shattered a boulder with his bare hands, Franz realized that he had messed with the wrong person here .

And as he thought that…

“Milord! Quick! Get back inside the hall!”

Schneider, the leader of the Mecha Knights in the dome, spoke .

“Quickly, sire! Come inside!”

And helping Franz over, the Mecha Knights and Franz went past the dome’s sturdy, iron gates .

BANG!

And after Franz, and the Atlases came back in, the gates started closing, and the Mecha Dome started disappearing, going back underground .

“Hmm… a magical fortress that is good for magic engineering and guerilla warfare, huh . Interesting . ”

Franz had made a mistake .

The Atlases were the only saving grace of the Mecha Dome, as they were limited with the small amount of people and resources that they had .

And using the Atlases to fight against Kang Chul-In? That was a crucial mistake .

‘I will kill you, and take away all of your magical engineers . ’

Whether it was an Pangaea or Earth, good technology and science was a must . And the Lords that possessed the skilled magical engineers were the ones that could build and/or upgrade artillery that helped immensely during war .

“Let’s head back to our territory . ”

Kang Chul-In turned his back, after staring at the now-underground Mecha Dome for a long while .

“We’ll go back to the Burrow Lands, and prepare special forces that can deal with those stupid Atlases that they posess . ”

There were many ways to fight against or around an Atlas, even without going for the joints .

“Yes, milord . ”

Lucia followed behind Kang Chul-In .

“Umm… Can I ask you just one thing?”

“Of course . ”

“My weapon . ”

Maybe it was Kang Chul-In’s imagination, but he thought Lucia sounded quite depressed .

“…Was it a precious one?”

Kang Chul-In spoke, looking over the horizon .

“Zenith… is a Soul Weapon . Along with Aegis over here, it grows with me as I get stronger . ”

Kang Chul-In had borrowed a sword because he didn’t want to throw away Kaiforce, but it seemed like that sword held significant importance to Lucia .

“Cough, cough . ”

Kang Chul-In could do nothing but cough in embarrassment .

“Of course, I completely believe in milord’s words . I also believe that milord will be able to take that stupid, cheeky Lord’s head within a month . But… the only worry that I have is whether or not that Lord will throw away Zenith into a furnace and melt it, or break it . ”

Listening to Lucia’s voice that was full of worry, Kang Chul-In felt his conscience being hurt .

“… I’m sorry . I promise that I’ll give it back to you within a month . Of course… if that bastard destroys the sword, I can’t do anything either . I’ll find you a better sword if that happens . ”

“No, sire . It’s okay . But… I have a request . ”

“Request? Speak . ”

“Uhh… Well, the princess…”

“Arshelly?”

“Yes, milord . ”

Lucia spoke without directly looking at Kang Chul-In .

“She has said that she wanted to visit your hometown . ”

“…Did she?”

And Kang Chul-In’s face stiffened in anxiety .

“And… I thought that I too would like it if I had the opportunity to go . This is my request… Will you let me, and the princess go to your hometown?”

It was a request that was hard for him .

“It… It’s not a difficult request, but…”

“For someone of Pangaean birth to go to Earth, they need a rainbow colored ‘Recall Stone’…”

“That’s fine, sire! That useless wom… I mean, the Lord of the Dorado territory has given us some, as compensation for us helping them last time . ”

“Oh, and also . Princess Arshelly has said that she also wants to go to a school, or an academy back in your hometown, sir . ”

School?

‘Dammit . ’

Although Kang Chul-In had nothing that he was jealous of, and was a greatly accomplished man, becoming a parent of Arshelly for when she went to school even though he was still unmarried?

“About that… we’ll decide later . ”

“Then what about visiting…”

“That’s fine . ”

Kang Chul-In said .

There was no reason for him not to bring his secretary, as well as his adopted daughter and show him around Earth .

But allowing her to stay there, and study, was a completely different matter . Kang Chul-In felt that that he would rather fight 10, no, in 100 battlefields if he didn’t need to do that .

“But about her going to school there… Hmm… I’ll need to give it some more thought . ”

Meanwhile, as Lucia and Kang Chul-In were talking about their future plans, the Magic Engineers of the Mecha Dome territory were working hard, repairing the 3 Atlases that had been damaged and broken by Kang Chul-In .

“Dammit… Dammit! That bastard! That rotten bastard!”

Franz stared at the working engineers, and cursed Kang Chul-In .

“Who’s in charge here… Director . ”

The engineers stiffened, as they heard Franz’s angry tone that seemed to make him look like he was growling at them .

“Yes…milord…”

Bashular, the leader of the Engineers, answered, his head down .

“The enemy took down two Atlases before we could even turn on the boosters . Do you know what this means?”

“N-No, sir . ”

“He found the weakness of the Atlases, and stabbed a ‘claw-like’ thing inside, making it explode . Bashular . I want to take revenge on him . Is there any method? To protect the Atlases from being exploded like that again, and to beat that man?”

Saying this, Franz’s eyes were filled with madness . It was an obsession for him to beat Kang Chul-In .

“Well… the best, surefire way to do that… is to cover up the joints with not just steel, but with a harder, more durable substance . ”

“Well, do that, then . ”

Franz commanded .

“But… if we want to do that, the cost won’t be small . If the opponent is skilled enough to take down an Atlas with their bare body, then it won’t be cheap to find a metal that can stand up against him . ”

“Still, do it . ”

Franz didn’t care . All he cared about was his revenge against Kang Chul-In .

Although it was a completely inefficient and foolish choice, Franz didn’t care .

“It doesn’t matter how much resources are used to fund this project . Use up all of the funds in the territory to fund this project, and for the two remaining Magic Gems…”

Franz laughed maniacally .

“… Put them into one Atlas! HAHA!”

He was prepared to make a secret weapon that could defeat Kang Chul-In .
