The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Stories of Old (pt . 1)

"This is the worst . "

After looking at the picture once more, Kang Chul-In's expression stiffened .

The picture looked absolutely disgusting, with the cocoon filled with all sorts of creepy crawling bugs .

"So, are these bugs that you know?"

"No . "

At Dorian's question, Kang Chul-In shook his head .

"I haven't seen these disgusting things before either . "

"Hmm…"

"Well, did you investigate this case afterwards?"

"Hmm, there wasn't really much to investigate anyway . It's not like they had any special powers . They just smelled bad . But…"

" . . . ?"

"I actually took out these bugs…"

"What a useless…"

Just as Kang Chul-In was about to criticize Dorian, the next picture he saw made him close his mouth .

"The shape… of a human?"

"Right? It looks as if a human was inside there, right?"

Kang Chul-In shook his head .

"But there's no way that a human could go inside a cocoon like that . "

"Hmm… That's true too . Maybe a human-shaped monster then? Or a demon? That's what I think . "

"Well, that does make sense . So, what happened after? I'm sure that someone like you wouldn't have stopped just there, with your curiosity . "

"Hehe~! Kang Chul-In, you know me too well . "

After shrugging his shoulders, Dorian continued .

"So basically, I chased the tracks along with Podolski . After all, the heat in the cocoon suggested that the thing had only come out recently . "

"And the result?"

"Well, I found its tracks after chasing it for around 30 minutes, and after 10 more minutes, I could finally see its behind . It was like 2 kilometres away from me at that time . "

"You're saying this because you couldn't catch him, right?"

"Yeah, even though I don't know what it was… It was extremely fast . Almost as fast as you, I think . "

" . . . ?"

"To be completely honest, he seemed faster than you with your second phase Overdrive . "

Even though this was somewhat hard to believe, Kang Chul-In still believed what Dorian said .

---------

At the same time .

"Ha… ha…"

The unknown existence that had run away from Dorian stopped .

Under the moonlight, its appearance was extremely hideous .

Its black skin seemed like that of an insect's, and pus was flowing from between its muscles .

There were also a combination of colors in its eyes, making it seem like that of a fly's .

And,

Crawl…

With insects like centipedes and worms crawling in its eyes, ears, and mouth, it looked truly like the most disgusting existence in all of Pangaea and Earth .

"Who is it!?"

At that moment .

"What is it!?"

"Is it a monster?"

"Everyone, ready for battle!'

Some adventurers who were passing by this place by chance stopped after looking at it, and got ready for battle .

"Oi, you . "

One of the adventurers started to cautiously walk towards it, and spoke .

"Show your . . . "

At that moment,

Kwajik!

It dashed towards the adventurer like thunder, and attacked the adventurer .

RIP!

With the sound of flesh and bones being ripped apart,

"Ahhhhh!"

The adventurer screamed in pain .

"Kek… Kekeke…"

And it laughed .

As if it was funny, and as if it was enjoying how powerful it was right now, it laughed .

Soon after,

Chomp, chomp .

After killing all 8 adventurers in the blink of an eye, it started to eat the bodies of the dead adventurers .

Cannibalism . It was the fate of this existence that was cursed .

***

The Kang Chul-In party had to search for over 2 more days after coming into the forest .

Of course, Kang Chul-In and the Ninetails were able to run at extreme speeds, but the problem was that they didn't know where the witch lived .

"That damned witch…"

Pissed off, Kang Chul-In stabbed at the bonfire with a stick .

"Hmm… maybe I should have brought Jack too…"

Dorian said, tilting his head .

"There's no way that a seeker could find a house, though . "

"That's true, I guess . "

"Well, let's rest here for a while, and start to search again once the sun comes up . "

Kang Chul-In said .

It was currently late at night, and it was extremely dark in the already dark 'Dark Forest' . It would be much easier if they started to move again when day came .

"To be completely honest, I don't know how my mother will respond to you . "

During the journey, Kang Chul-In and the Ninetails talked about many things, and got to know each other better .

"Well, this girl is confident!"

The Ninetails spoke, smiling .

"After all, my husband's mother is now also my mot…"

Just when the Ninetails was going to remind Kang Chul-In that she was going to be his wife . . .

"Wait . "

Kang Chul-In motioned for her to quiet down .

Hwek!

The Ninetails suddenly looked backwards .

Her gaze was pointed at the same direction that Kang Chul-In was looking .

With her animalistic instincts, she had also sensed that someone was coming up from behind too .

"Hmm, what is it? Something's coming . "

Dorian also noticed .

"Right, something's coming . "

Finally, Kang Chul-In stood up from where he was sitting .

And,

"Ah, I can tell from first glance . "

With the voice of a woman, someone showed themself .

A woman that was wearing an extremely long robe that was being dragged on the ground had a beautiful appearance and sensual body and was also wearing a hat that witches would wear .

"I've been waiting for a long time, Julius Berlinetta Pon Aurangzeb . No, what do I call you now… The reincarnation of the Emperor of Blood and Iron? Well, whatever . I just need to show you the past anyway . "

At that moment, one of the soldiers shouted .

"It's her, Milord! She's the witch!"

It seemed like the woman that had suddenly come and spoke some nonsense was the witch that lived in the Dark Forest .
