Chapter 297: Kang Chul-In Vs . Desdemona (3)
Indeed . What Kang Chul-In had cut wasn’t Desdemona’s actual body but only a decoy .
“I was almost tricked . ”
Kang Chul-In was surprised at how clean the decoy was . Desdemona’s decoy was extremely realistic .
“It would be perfect if the touch wasn’t different . ”
Yes, the touch . Kang Chul-In had cut countless people in his current life and past life combined . Even if it was a decoy that a dragon had made, it was impossible to trick Kang Chul-In when it came to killing something .
“Hm?”
On the throne, Desdemona lifted a corner of her mouth .
“A mere human dares to judge my magic?”
“You’re only a lizard but you’re so arrogant . ”
“L-Lizard?”
“My subordinate says you’re a dragon . So isn’t a dragon a lizard?”
Just then, Drakan murmured quietly from his fainted position .
“Y-Your Majesty… so what I meant is… keuk…”
Drakan was hit with an unexpected attack by Kang Chul-In .
“Ha…”
Desdemona laughed . It was the composure of the strong . To her, humans were just bugs that she could step on and kill at any moment .
“You’re pretty arrogant, huh? Human?”
“Isn’t it arrogant for a lizard to judge a human?”
However, Kang Chul-In didn’t bend to her . How could someone from Earth know about a true dragon that even Pangaeans didn’t know about? From Kang Chul-In’s perspective, Desdemona was only a mutant lizard that could turn into a speaking human .
“You really want to die, hm? It wasn’t enough to hit-and-run but you want to blabber in front of me?”
“Where did the hit-and-run thing come from?”
Kang Chul-In asked Desdemona . He didn’t know why he had to be implicated as a hit-and-runner when he was all for safe driving .
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“ . . . ?
“Well, fine, I’ll tell you . You’ll feel less wronged if you know why you died . ”
Desdemona had a tray brought over .
“Video play . ”
Then, she casted a spell .
-I’m raising the altitude, so everyone go back inside!
In the playing video, he could see himself disappearing after hitting Desdemona’s lair .
“Ah?”
Kang Chul-In realized why the lizard was calling him a hit-and-runner .
“That’s nothing . ”
However, his reaction was shameless .
“I guess lizards are pretty small-minded, huh?”
“What?”
“Tsk tsk… you’re making such a mess just because a part of your roof was broken . No, shouldn’t you pay for the damage done to the lower part of our castle?”
If the other side requested a reasonable amount, Kang Chul-In would’ve given it . But Desdemona was different . She had invaded his wife’s home and was beating up his subordinates . They had gone beyond the point of striking a deal .
Why, you ask? Because Kang Chul-In’s temper was as fiery as a dragon’s .
Shake shake…!
Desdemona trembled at Kang Chul-In’s attitude .
“You dare!”
A sharp sound rang out in the Lord’s Hall .
“Keuk!”
“ . . . !”
Everyone clutched their chests and plopped down at Desdemona’s angry shout . Dragon Fear . It was a force that wasn’t possible for a “fake dragon” to have . Even if it wasn’t her actual body, it was powerful .
“You dare . . . ”
Only Kang Chul-In was unaffected by the Dragon Fear .
“You dare to scream in my wife’s home?”
At the same time, Kang Chul-In caused a sonic boom and dashed at Desdemona .
Chrwak!
A knife-like wind whirled around Desdemona from Kang Chul-In .
Crumble!
Ninetails’s throne crumbled to pieces .
It was then .
When had she appeared?
“With that weak attack . . . ”
Desdemona smiled coldly, having dug into Kang Chul-In’s blind spot by teleporting .
“You were trying to kill me? You arrogant human?”
Desdemona aimed a fist towards Kang Chul-In’s left ribs .
Danger!
Kang Chul-In crossed Kaiforce and Mitra to block the fist .
Clanggg!
A large explosive sound that almost ripped the surrounding people’s eardrums rang out .
“Keuk!”
A pained groan escaped from Kang Chul-In’s mouth .
An extraordinary destructive power!
He had definitely blocked it . But the hands with the swords in them, his arms, and even his sides throbbed . His sides just throbbed but he felt like his internal organs were being crushed .
“Ha, you blocked it?”
Desdemona grinned and began an additional attack .
She gripped his collar and threw him forcefully to the ground .
“I’ll make you into sausage!”
How dare she!
Swish!
Kang Chul-In immediately used fancy acrobatic skills to escape Desdemona’s grip . He was falling short on strength? Then he would win with tact . Kang Chul-In was a martial artist who had seen thousands of battlefields . That could make Desdemona, a dragon with no fighting experience who had been sleeping for a thousand years, bend down to him .
Chrwak!
Kaiforce was swung at Desdemona’s waist .
“Do you really think…”
Just when Desdemona was about to mock Kang Chul-In again,
Swoosh!
The sword of light, Mitra, aimed precisely at Desdemona’s open spot .
“ . . . !”
While Desdemona’s eyes were filled with shock, with an ominous sound, a drop of blood slid down Desdemona’s arm .
I-I was… cut? By… a mere human?
Desdemona was shocked . She had never imagined in her dragon life that she would be hurt by a mere human . Even if she was in her human form .
“Die . ”
She didn’t have more time to be shocked because Kaiforce, which had suddenly taken the force of a whip, was flying at her to bind her, and Mitra was shining brilliantly coming at the speed of light .
What does he think he’s doing!?
“الجنوبیة كوریا“
“!صدر”
“!الاحتیال بعملة كویتیة مزیفة”
“!نجلیز”
“!حاولة”
Desdemona reflected it by using five level-8 magic spells . This was the true reason why dragons were fearsome . Just by saying the most important part of a spell, she could cast her magic in less than 95% of the time it took human magicians .
However,
[Energy is filling up! (Absorption rate : 82%)]
[Energy is filling up! (Absorption rate : 99%)]
[Energy is filling up! (Absorption rate : 86%)]
[Energy is filling up! (Absorption rate : 93%)]
[Energy is filling up! (Absorption rate : 71%)]
It might’ve been dragon magic, but it was still magic! His S++ skill was blocking Desdemona’s dragon magic perfectly . Also, Desdemona’s magical energies were bestowing him great strength .
[Mana is overflowing!]
[Warning, you need to release the mana you absorbed!]
Let’s see if you can block this too .
Kang Chul-In thrust all the magical energy from his dragon heart’s mana into the sword of light, Kaiforce .
-M, Master!
He could hear Mitra’s urgent shout .
-This… t-too, powerful!
Shut up and bear it!
-Ahhh!
The fact that it was hard for a holy being like Mitra meant that it could also be dangerous to an ancient dragon .
No way!
Desdemona was shocked . A mere human had not only chewed up her magic but created an attack powerful enough for her to feel danger . The hit-and-runner in front of her didn’t seem to be a normal human .
Do you think I’ll be hit?
But that was it . Desdemona wasn’t going to let Kang Chul-In succeed in his attack .
“التي الأخبار“!
She casted a spell again . The level-10 dragon magic Charge Barrier formed in front of her . She could guarantee that no human could pierce through this barrier .
Heh .
An evil smile grew on Kang Chul-In’s face .
Do you think this is all I have? Lizard?
[Release amplified!]
Flash!
At the same time, the Amplifier Talisman on his neck began to vibrate .
“ . . . !”
Shock filled Desdemona’s eyes .
I can’t block it!
Kang Chul-In didn’t use the Amplifier Talisman until the end to make Desdemona make the wrong choice and she had naively created a level-10 barrier . Of course, this was enough to block his attack, but not enough to block the released energy increased by 120% . This meant that Kang Chul-In had completely tricked Desdemona!
And the result was . . .
Kwaaaaaaang!
The destruction of the Charge Barrier .
“Kyaaaaak!”
A scream came from the ancient dragon’s mouth .
“B-Be careful!”
“It’s coming down!”
“Run away!”
Kang Chul-In’s attack not only swallowed Desdemona but destroyed everything around it, and the shock of it brought down half of the Lord’s Hall .
“ . . . Oops!”
Kang Chul-In looked flustered . He felt like he could see Ninetails already nagging him .
H-Husband! What did you do to my house!
Ah, so this is what a sad beast was? A sad beast known as a “married man . ”
“How should I explain this…”
Just when Kang Chul-In was mumbling to himself, his senses sent him a warning .
“ . . . !”
She’s… alive?
Kang Chul-In could feel it .
Beyond the thick smoke and the crumbled marble, a great being was about to descend .
Dammit!
Kang Chul-In threw his body .
***
“Haaa… so I can’t do it with a human body, huh?”
Desdemona’s draconic eyes blazed . She was currently in a mess .
“Fine, let’s see this to the end . ”
As soon as she finished muttering to herself, she was wrapped in light . This was a kind of regression . She was getting rid of the weak human body and returning to her true form, a dragon . It was hurtful to her pride, but there was nothing she could do . She had to acknowledge it . That hit-and-runner was a powerful human that she couldn’t defeat in her polymorphed form!
I’ll painstakingly make you feel how weak you are .
She hardened her resolve to make that hit-and-runner know what a true dragon was .
“Do you think I’ll let you?”
However, Kang Chul-In wasn’t someone who would simply let his opponent become stronger . He was a man who knew how to go in sharply while his enemy was at their weakest .
“N-No!”
Desdemona shouted urgently, but he was merciless .
“Yes!”
Right before she changed, the sword of light, Mitra, entered her side .
Then… a whirlwind began to form .
T-This is . . . !
Desdemona could feel it . A condensed whirlwind . A violent storm that could rip iron to shreds was entering her body!
“Aaaaaaack!”
Another scream came from the ancient level dragon . It was a desperate scream .
