âYour second Majesty, her third Majesty Lee Chae-Rin has suffered losses consecutivelyâŠâ
âHer third Majesty was able to summon the Spirit King but lostâŠâ
âEsmeralda is about to fall to the enemies!â
âThe soldiers are discouraged⊠at this rateâŠâ
âHis Majesty Dorian Explorer has been injuredâŠâ
The situation was getting worse.
HusbandâŠ! Ninetails bit her red lips. When are you coming⊠the kingdom needs youâŠ
The absence of Kang Chul-In had a great effect. Of course, it was true that Kang Chul-In was 50% of the Valhalla Kingdomâs manpower, but this was too much. What kind of army was the Valhalla Kingdom? Soldiers in the Valhalla Kingdom were trained intensely like every fight was to the death. Moreover, they were a military that had only experienced victories. A hundred percent winning rate. The Valhalla Kingdomâs soldiers were the strongest in Pangaea, but such an army was falling apart.
It wasnât because Kang Chul-In was absent. The enemies were just too strong.
A mysterious legion of 500,000 monsters and the Ancient Empire, with the demon Saturnus. It was because they were being attacked by these two great forces.
âHusband⊠please come back soon.â
It was a desperate self-muttering.
âY-Your second MajestyâŠ!â
It was then.
âSomething bad has happened⊠sad newsâŠ!â
A messenger quickly ran into the hall and bowed in front of Ninetails.
âWhat⊠is it.â
Ninetails asked with an exhausted face. She was tired. Every piece of bad news that came was horrible. Things were so bad that she thought they couldnât get worse.
âThe commander of the White Lion KnightsâŠâ
â...!â
âSir MikaelâŠâ
âNo wayâŠâ
âIn the battle against Ancient Empire soldiersâŠâ
Ninetails felt her heart dropping to the ground. What kind of knight was Mikael? He was the master of internal affairs who had made Balnibarbi of rural Pandemonium into the second capital, along with Captain James. The man who Kang Chul-In had left Balnibarb to had died in battle.
It was something she didnât want to believe.
âI⊠see.â
Ninetails tried to hide her feelings of despair.
âHis body.â
So she asked in the steadiest voice possible.
âWere they able to bring the body back?â
âT-ThatâsâŠâ
âAnswer me.â
â...!â
âI asked if they retrieved the body.â
âThey werenât⊠able to⊠retrieve Sir Mikaelâs bodyâŠâ
âAre you being serious right now!?â
Ninetails roared. She exploded.
âYour second MajestyâŠ!â
âHe was given stars by the kingdom but you werenât able to retrieve his body!?â
âB-But⊠the situation on the battlefield was too disadvantageous to usâŠâ
âShut up!â
âI-I apologizeâŠâ
The messenger didnât know what to do.
Nine tails were waving in a threatening manner behind Ninetails.
âPlease⊠step backâŠâ
âYes, your second MajestyâŠâ
âWhewâŠ!â
Ninetails couldnât hold in her blazing fury. She knew that it was funny to be angry at the fact that the body wasnât retrieved properly, but there was nothing else she could do. One of the kingdomâs pillars had fallen at the continued losses. It was hard for her to reign in her angerâŠ
If only Tactician Kwak was hereâŠ!
Kwak Jung was half-disabled from the overuse of his ability, so he couldnât strategize and plan for any battle tactics. No, strategizing and planning aside, he was barely living day by day with Alfredâs Blood Heal.
âHusband has to come backâŠâ
There was no solution. The only one, if there was one, was Kang Chul-In. He had to come back for the soldiers to feel encouraged again and fight back against the enemies.
âIf Husband comes backâŠâ
It was then.
Boom! With a loud explosion, the Lordâs Hall began to shake.
â...!â
While everyone was shocked at the sudden commotion,
âAaaack!â
Someoneâs scream rang out in the Lordâs Hall. That wasnât the end, however.
âStop!â
âStop them. We have to protect the Lordâs Hall!â
âStay calm! Endure!â
âEmergency, emergency!â
âItâs an enemy.â
Shouts of the guards outside of the Lordâs Hall could be heard.
â...â
The shouts didnât last long, however.
Silence. The frantic commotion stopped instantly. Then, footsteps approached them.
â...!â
Ninetails shivered after hearing the sound.
This isâŠ! She didnât have a good feeling about it. Demon.
That was the only word that she could think of. The being outside was scary, although they were only standing outside of the Lordâs Hall.
Boom! With an explosive sound, the door to the Lordâs Hall burst open.
And,
âHeheâŠ!â
A demon with a cruel smile showed itself.
âY-You are!â Ninetails recognized the demon at once. âT-The Emperor of Lunacy and NightâŠâ
Why wouldnât she? If one knew the Emperor of Blood and Iron, they would know the Emperor of Lunacy and Night as well. The story of how he killed his father a thousand years ago to become emperor was still a famous one.
âOho.â Saturnus laughed at Ninetails. âNinetails⊠I heard youâre one of my sonâs women. Kek⊠a whore with nine tails⊠my sonâs preference is quite interestingâŠâ
âShut up.â Ninetails exuded a cold aura. âHow dare you come in here?â
âKek⊠I guess you have a temper?â
âI donât know how you came back to life⊠but Iâll split your stomach apart and chew up your liver⊠you bastard.â
Ninetails was scary. There wasnât any cuteness in her words, at all. Her seductive eyes were filled with violence and enmity.
âHeheâŠ!â But Saturnus didnât even blink at Ninetailsâs threat. âMy daughter-in-law.â
âYou crazyâŠ! Who are you calling your daughter-in-law?â
âDo you think that mouth will still be running while under my stomach?â
â...!â
âEven while taking my seed? Kek, kek, kekâŠ! How amusing⊠very. Iâm already excited. He⊠hehe!â
Saturnus wasnât in his right mind. He never was, but it was worse now. He was mad at the thought of being able to ravish Kang Chul-Inâs wives and his daughter.
âCome here.â Saturnus began to move towards Ninetails. âIâll wake your lustful instinct⊠hehehe.â
It was then.
âStop!â With a clear beautiful voice, a girl of about seventeen years old stepped into the Lordâs Hall.
âA-Arshelly!â Ninetails shouted frantically.
Yes. The girl was Arshelly, transformed into an Arknight. Kang Chul-Inâs daughter had appeared to protect the Lordâs Hall from Saturnus.
âRun away, quick! Escape now!â
âNo, mom!â
âListen to mom! Go now!â
âI wonât run away!â Arshelly didnât listen to Ninetailsâs orders to leave. âIâll be punished for this later⊠Mom.â
âItâs dangerous! That demon isâŠâ
âI know, Mom!â
Why wouldnât she know? Arshelly was a princess born between the Emperor of Blood and Iron and Brynhildr. The blood of Aurangzeb, the imperial family, was flowing inside of her. Furthermore, Arshelly was a true jack of all trades who was skilled in everything. There was no way she wouldnât know that Saturnus was dangerous.
âBut, I canât stop.â Arshellyâs resolve was like Kang Chul-Inâs. âWe cannot give this Lordâs Hall in any situation!â
âB-ButâŠ!â
âMom, Iâm also a part of the royal family of Valhalla. With dad not here, I have to step up! Itâs the responsibility of the royal family! Dad taught me that! From father to daughter, from king of Valhalla Kingdom to princess!â
She was right. Yes, it was something that the royal family had to do. Kang Chul-In didnât raise Arshelly like a flower in a greenhouse. He taught her about the responsibilities of being in the royal family. He taught her properly instead of spoiling her.
âDaughterâŠ!â
Ninetails was proud of Arshelly. What a beautiful heart she had. She wasnât her biological daughter, but Arshelly was so lovable.
âKek...â Saturnus had a huge grin on his face. âBlack hair⊠those red eyes⊠you⊠have the blood of our family. Kek⊠youâre a child with my blood. Then⊠you are my true granddaughter⊠Juliusâ daughter.â
âI donât know a grandfather like you.â Arshelly firmly denied any ties she had to Saturnus. âSo shut that disgusting mouth.â
She got ready to fight. It was fitting of Kang Chul-Inâs daughter.
âKek⊠fine⊠go ahead.â Saturnus had a mad smile as he began to approach Arshelly. âLetâs see what tricks my granddaughter can do⊠kek kek kekâŠ!â
***
Seoul, South Korea, in front of the 63 Building in Yeouido...
BrrrâŠ! The flagship model of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG screeched to a stop. As the gull-wing door, the symbol of the SLS AMG, opened, Kang Chul-In came out.
âHuh?â
âK-Kang Chul-In?â
âIs it really Kang Chul-In?â
âWhoaâŠâ
The people in front of the 63 Building all whispered to each other. After the dungeon gate incident, Kang Chul-In was a hero and a hot celebrity. He was also one of the richest men on Earth. He earned millions every year with Galaxy Corporation.
Moreover, after the dungeon gate incident, Kang Chul-In and his family (although there weren't many) were exempted from taxes from the South Korean government as a sign of gratitude.
Kang Chul-Inâs influence had also reached far beyond South Korea. The United States, China, and Japan all wanted to work with him.
Not to mention, he was a hero who saved South Korea from the monster wave. His name would be recorded in textbooks. Kang Chul-In had everything a man could ever dream of.
âExcuse me⊠are you Kang Chul-In?â
âMr. Kang Chul-In, can we take a picture together?â
âHeuk⊠Mr. Kang Chul-In⊠my child survived because of you! Thank you!â
âNice to meet you, Mr. Kang Chul-In!â
People rushed around him.
In the end, itâs hereâŠ
However, he didnât have the mind to worry about them. Kang Chul-In was reminiscing about the past. This 63 Building was where everything began.
And Kang Chul-In...
Everything will be finished soon.
The 63 Building was a special place to him.
âLetâs go.â Kang Chul-In began to move.
âOkay, Oppa.â Han Ye-Sun followed him.
***
The Warp Gate inside the Lordâs Hall flashed and Kang Chul-In and Han Ye-Sun appeared.
â...â
Kang Chul-In became speechless after seeing his surroundings. It was a mess. His brilliant throne was broken into pieces. The corpses of multiple people were lying on the floor.
âH-Husband⊠youâve comeâŠâ Ninetails greeted him tiredly.
AndâŠ
âD-DadâŠ!â Arshelly was with her.
Kang Chul-In ground his teeth after seeing Arshelly. His lovable daughter was in a horrible state. Her clothes were all ripped, her hair was messed up, and there were clumps of blood on her skin.
As a father, he felt horrible.
âHeheâŠ!â Just then, a burst of evil laughter rang in his ear. âLong time so see, son.â
The Emperor of Lunacy and Night, Saturnus, the demon from hell, was smiling at him.
âI was just about to play a fun game with my granddaughter, but you came at just the right timeâŠ! KeâŠ!â
â...â
âAfter I take you apart, Iâll ravish my cute grandâŠâ
Before he could finish, Saturnusâs head was whipped around.
âKukâŠ!â He gasped for breath. His black hair was in Kang Chul-Inâs hand. Kang Chul-In then slammed Saturnusâ head onto the ground.
âKyak!â Saturnus screamed. âYouâŠâ
Saturnus growled in a low voice.
âYou touched something you shouldnât have, you son of a bitch.â
At the same time, Kang Chul-In began to grind Saturnusâ face onto the floor of the Lordâs Hall.
