With the sound of something being cut off,
“Aaaaah!”
Neptune Spear screamed loudly.
Flutter… Hundreds of black strings fluttered in the wind.
“Oh dear.”
Kang Chul-In smirked.
“You should’ve taken better care of your hair. It’s so weak… Hmm… Should I get you some glue to stick your hair to your scalp?”
“Arghhhh…!”
“Well, it’s not that bad actually.”
“...”
“It looks like… that two-block style that's trendy these days."
Of course, it was all a load of bullshit. Neptune Spear's hair on the sides of his head had fallen out from Kang Chul-In's ridiculous strength. Obviously, other than the fact that he didn't have any side hair, it looked nothing like the two-block style.
Crunch!
Neptune Spear grounded his teeth together.
“You dare... I'm the King of the South Sea...! Do you think you'll be...!”
“Be what?”
“...”
"You're not trying to threaten me, are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Kwannnng!
The second ship, [Monocle], exploded. It was the work of Dorian Explorer.
"...!"
Neptune Spear was surprised, but that wasn't the end of it.
The Full Metal Dragon… No, the Full Metal Drake had pierced through the barrier of the ship, [Atlanta], and began to thrash around.
"Oh no...!
It was a tremendously shocking sight. In the blink of an eye, out of the eleven ships, Alligator, Nemesis, and Monocle were reduced to pieces of scrap metal. Now, even Atlantica was taken over…
The captain's ship, Poseidon, also had Kang Chul-In aboard.
-Heeheehee!
It was then.
-I'm gonna be the only one you beat up, is that it?
Hecate's maniacal voice spread out through the magical voice amplifier.
-Fine… let's do it… just you wait… I'll break you to pieces…!
It was a voice filled with frustrations from being held back. Hecate naturally enjoyed blowing things up, so being held back because of the anti-aircraft guns was horrible for her. However, the tables had turned, because Alligator, Nemesis, Monocle, and Atlantica were all unavailable for battle!
That meant…
“Gun one, ready!”
“Gun two, ready!”
“Gun three, ready!”
“Gun four, ready!”
The soldiers of Temeraire all shouted at the top of their lungs.
Fire. The 74 guns of the greatest firepower in Pangaea were about to teach Neptune Spear what the price was for messing with them.
-Wait!
Kang Chul-In’s voice shook the battlefield.
-Hecate!
-What?
-Stop.
-Hm? Why should I stop? This is our chance.
-Victory is already ours, so there’s no need to use Fire.
It was true. With Kang Chul-In aboard the captain’s ship, Poseidon, this battle was already the victory of the Valhalla soldiers.
-So?
Hecate asked.
-Are you telling me to stop the attack?
-Of course.
Kang Chul-In nodded.
-Why would you break all of these when they’re worth a hefty amount of money?
People had to look for opportIt was slow. Very slow. It might’ve been a fast attack for normal people, but it looked like it was moving in slow-motion to Kang Chul-In.
Swoosh! Kaiforce scattered darkness in 10 different directions, and Neptune Spear’s chest split into ten pieces. Bright red blood spewed out.
Plop! Neptune Spear fell to his knees on the deck. He didn’t have the strength to stand anymore.
Kashing…! Kang Chul-In held Kaiforce at Neptune Spear’s neck.
“Hey, fishermen.”
“Y-Yes.”
“Give me everything you’ve got.”
The Supreme King (king/thief) of the West. Kang Chul-In was faithful to his profession like always.

Meanwhile, at the same time, about 30 kilometres away from the Esmeralda territory, Kwak Jung was receiving a report from a soldier.
“Commander-in-chief!”
“Yes?”
“His Majesty has succeeded in defending Venetz!”
“...!”
“And that’s not it!”
“What is it? Didn’t he break everything to pieces?”
“No!”
“Hm…?”
“Of the 11 ships, he completely destroyed 2 of them, made 2 of them unfit for war…”
“...!”
“But has succeeded in taking the remaining seven ships in good condition! Including the two that aren’t able to be used for war, he has captured 9 ships!”
“W-What!?”
“Also…”
There wasn’t an end to the soldier’s report.
“He has even taken over the Aquatica Kingdom that’s under the King of the South Sea Neptune Spear’s rule…!”
“Huk…!”
Kwak Jung was taken aback.
That guy…!
He couldn’t tell how much stronger he had become.
I thought he would take a break for a day or two…!
He knew that Kang Chul-In would defend Venetz properly, but he didn’t imagine that he would destroy Neptune Spear like that…
“S-So? What did his Majesty say? He must have said something!”
“T-That’s…”
The soldier hesitated.
“What is it? Say it quickly, you bastard!”
“His Majesty said to…”
“...?”
“Take over the Esmeralda territory before he arrives...”
“...”
“If the Esmeralda territory isn’t dominated in two days… His Majesty will…”
“M-Me…?”
“Give you mental training.”
“E-Eek?!”
“That was his message…”
The soldier carefully handed Kwak Jung a piece of paper.
The content was the following:
To the subordinate I cherish the most…
Work.
-The Supreme King of the West, Kang Chul-In.
“...”
Kwak Jung was speechless.
“Shit…”
It would take at least 3 days to take over the Esmeralda territory.
But two?
“Aaack…!”
Kwak Jung groaned painfully.
“C-Commander-in-chief!”
“Hey…”
“Yes?”
“Go tell this to everyone…”
It was a wise decision. The defense of Venetz was a great accomplishment. It would influence the morale of the soldiers.
“Increase the speed of the march! Unless you want to see me die!”
“Yes, sir!”
There was no time. He had to get to work if he wanted to take over Esmeralda territory in 3 days.

In a secret lab 10 floors underground in the Pentagon of the Bifrost territory.
“Useless bastard…”
Andrei Ivanovich frowned after checking the rankings.
Rank 6: Overlord Neptune Spear (position revocated!)
“I can’t believe he didn’t even last a day…”
The result was disappointing to no end.
“Well, I didn’t expect much from the beginning.”
Milenius muttered to himself and looked at the great glass casket in front of him. A man was floating around naked in the boiling liquid. The man’s hair was black, and he looked extremely similar to someone.
“You’ll have to step up soon.”
Milenius spoke to the man in the glass casket. Of course, the man didn’t reply.
He was still incomplete...
