Chapter 2
Chapter 2 . The end of The Absolute, But…‘Fine . Since it has already become like this, maybe it is a good thing . ’
For what reason?
Kang Chul-In flashed a faint smile .
‘I focused too heavily on military power . My neglect on economic strength was detrimental . My lack of trips to the library and closeness to books… I’m a Grand Sovereign . I did not have time to focus on foreign and diplomatic policies, as well as, military tactics and strategies alone . With the progress of war, slow and immobile, I neglected collecting intelligence and diplomacy . If I could not maintain good relations, I should have at least had good, solid information and intelligence . Then, I would not have been caught off guard like this . ’
In the face of destruction, the mind of Kang Chul-In was ruthlessly calm and quiet .
If his enemies had known the current state of Kang Chul-In, they would have thought he had given up, or that he had nothing left but regret . Like this, Kang Chul-In was calm .
“Master! You need to give a countermeasure to go against the enemies…” Alfred pleaded with Kang Chul-In, as if frustrated by his state . It was understandable, considering the threat impending on the headquarters .
“Alfred . ”
“Yes, Master . ”
“Do not act rashly and do not tremble with fear . Maintain your dignity . We have not lost yet . ”
“Sir…?”
The vampire butler Alfred was taken aback by Kang Chul-In’s calm composure, but worked to regather his nerves and composure soon after . As a NPC Aleister smirked at Kang Chul-In .
And in response…
“Shut your mouth . ”
“…!”
It was a menacing statement, enough to send chills down the spine of even the icy, Grand Sovereign Aleister .
“Shut up before I break that skull of yours . I do not wish to speak to a little traitor like you . ”
“…!”
Disgusted, Kang Chul-In turned his head away from the necromancer Grand Sovereign, towards Alex Rothschild .
“Hey, Rothschild . ” He pointed at Alex Rothschild with the end of his chin .
“You work hard to act like you work for a just and great cause, to act nice and good . ”
“What are you saying?”
Alex Rothschild answered .
“What am I saying? Well, if you are going to play dumb, I’ll kindly tell you . You want Pangaea all for yourself, but to pretend you don’t, doesn’t that just keep you up at night?”
“No way . I am different from you . ”
“Ha . Different . I can recognize my own kind . You are the same as me . Except you pretend to be on the side of the angels, instead of being honest like me . You took everything you could and benefited all you could, and now you are pretending you did not?”
“Evil only recognizes evil… Kang Chul-In, you, are just that . ”
“Is that so? It seems like you are going to kill that traitor first as soon as I’m gone . ”
And in that statement, the traitor Aleister shivered .
“Coward . ” Kang Chul-In sneered at Aleister, and continued .
“Well, whatever happens, all will be after I die anyways so it is business among yourselves . Now, end it . ”
And Kang Chul-In put down his Fragarach and opened his arms wide .
“What are you scheming, Kang Chul-In?”
Rothschild asked, his guard up .
“What scheme, you idiot . End it . You don’t understand?”
“Are you just going to die?”
“Well then? I don’t want to cry and run away like someon,e after a little attack on their headquarters, nor do I want to come back to life like a cockroach either… not my style…”
It was a direct hit at Rothschild, and the veins in his temples bulged .
The angry Rothschild’s sword gave off a glint as it penetrated Kang Chul-In’s heart in an instant .
“It is my victory… . ! Kang Chul-In!”
“Yes, enjoy it . Enjoy it all you want . ” Kang Chul-In laughed .
“Today will be the first and last day that you will be victorious against…”
“Shut up!”
Rothschild’s sword gave off another glimmer .
And Kang Chul-In’s head fell and rolled on the ground .
Dead .
The Kang Chul-In had died .
“It is my victory… My victory, Kang Chul-In!”
Alex Rothschild announced his victory with red, bloodshot eyes .
And that face, was to be feared .
The face of the man, who had defeated the enemy he had despised and feared, was like the devil . However, the menacing face of the man soon disappeared, and was replaced with joy and accomplishment .
“You all worked hard . ”
Rothschild spoke, looking around at the faces of the Grand Sovereigns as well as Aleister .
“And now, this head will be…”
As Rothschild was about to suggest hanging the head for all to see and celebrate their victory, he suddenly stopped .
Crack!
The ground began to shake .
It did not seem like a good thing .
The vibrations that they felt beneath their feet and the noise that grew louder and closer was ominous and strange . It was as if… a big explosion was going to happen .
“No way…!”
Rothschild yelled .
“Suicidal explosion!?”
“We need to get out of here right now!”
“Kang Chul-In, you despicable, crude jerk!”
And just when everyone had processed the situation, a fiery storm overcame them with a loud bang . It was, until the end, a despicable and crude tactic .
***
“Stupid, foolish, idiots . ”
Kang Chul-In smirked and mumbled .
