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 .
