“Could it be...”
“You are right.” Desdemona nodded. “Rindermergel must be waking up.”
“We are running out of time.”
“Yes, we have to hurry! We don’t have time!”
“I will go first.” Kang Chul-In made his move. “I will send you the coordinates when I arrive. Can you warp the imperial army accordingly?”
That was Desdemona’s role. Kang Chul-In would send Desdemona the location coordinates using the Core of Pangaea, where she would then warp the army.
“Of course.” Desdemona nodded. “I will make the preparations. Hurry and go.”
“Well then, see you later.” Kang Chul-In leaped off the ground immediately.
***
Meanwhile, the great conqueror who was never meant to exist in this universe had resurrected in the Moscow Kremlin...
Thump! With tremendous sound,
Thump, thump! ‘He’ began to make his move.
“Hu…!”
Thick sulfuric mist spewed out like steam from his mouth. It was truly a sight to behold. Over 4 meters tall, ‘he’ was even more intimidating than the great demons of hell. Red lava could be seen within the cracks on his matte black skin. His eyes gleamed with a great demon’s chaos and primitive malice. His wings flapped threateningly, as if trying to contaminate the whole world with darkness.
“Finally.” Rindermergel the Relentless Eater spoke for the first time. His voice instilled despair and anguish in his audience.
“Well done, Milenius.” Rindermergel paid his respects to the dead Milenius, but that was all he was going to do. Rindermergel was the parent of his species as he possessed the DNA of all high-class Agnagas. Therefore, all of Milenius' efforts to resurrect him was akin to a law of nature. It was his duty. Therefore, Rindermergel did not express any more gratitude to Milenius.
Moreover, Rindermergel could create a ‘new Milenius’ once he recovered his strength over time. Why would he ever be concerned about the old Milenius’ death? Hence, his attention was directed at something else.
“Emperor of Blood and Iron… and Emilia… foolish mortals...” Rindermergel spoke with hatred. “Are you watching this? My resurrection? The second coming of the mighty Agnaga? You mortals even sacrificed your souls to challenge me, but it was all for naught!”
Rindermergel’s speech was useless. Unfortunately, the Emperor of Blood and Iron and Emilia were already dead for a thousand years! The fact that Rindermergel mentioned the two of them indicated how humiliating his defeat was. Truly enough, the Agnaga race had conquered countless planets before facing a bitter defeat in Pangaea.
“Mark my words...” Rindermergel gritted his teeth. “Watch carefully what will happen to the planet that you bastards tried to protect so dearly…! I will make everything go extinct...”
It was at that moment...
Banggggggg! With a tremendous echo, a huge hole gaped open on the roof of the palace.
“Don’t tell me…!”
Rindermergel had a flash of thought. According to Milenius, the Earthlings were so barbarous that they did not have any means to break through the barrier. But now his barrier was broken, and the palace roof had a hole. That could only mean two things.
Firstly, the Earthlings could have discovered a way to penetrate the barrier. Secondly, a third party which could penetrate the barrier had appeared.
However...
“Not Earthlings, I see.”
Rindermergel did not even take the first possibility into consideration. He could strongly feel a powerful presence from afar. In other words, Milenius’ plan to lure the reincarnation of the Emperor of Blood and Iron and Desdemona, the daughter of Emilia, to Nosferatu and blow them up had failed. Those beings from Pangaea had chased him down to Earth!
“It’s that bastard.” Rindermergel mumbled as he stared towards the west. He was referring to Kang Chul-In, the reincarnation of the Emperor of Blood and Iron and current ruler of Pangaea. The second powerful presence obviously belonged to Emilia’s daughter, Desdemona.
“I guess there’s no need to wait.”
Since Kang Chul-In and Desdemona had managed to chase Rindermergel to Earth, it was impossible for him to buy time to recover his strength. Therefore, Rindermergel and his ancient Agnaga army had to fight them and their alliance army.
“How dare they?”
No, Rindermergel did not plan to fight them. He brimmed with confidence. He was one of the few existences in this universe who could single handedly destroy a whole planet. It didn’t matter whether he recovered his full strength or not. According to Milenius, Kang Chul-In was weaker than the Emperor of Blood and Iron. Moreover, Dragon Lord Emilia was deemed the mightiest and most powerful dragon in history. Desdemona might be capable, but she would not surpass her ancestor!
“You will pay for opposing the mighty Agnaga race, foolish mortals.” Rindermergel was confident that he would win, even if his recovery was still incomplete...
***
Meanwhile, in the sky above Moscow...
“Good.” Kang Chul-In grinned. The root of the Moscow Kremlin, which was previously the symbol of communism and now the Agnaga’s base, was collapsing.
“Quite an introduction, I must say. Kek!”
A declaration of war? That was useless in this battle. Striking the enemy first with a Mega-Vortex was the declaration itself.
“Emperor of Blood and Iron.” Kang Chul-In mumbled. “I will complete your unfinished work today.”
He was addressing the Emperor of Blood and Iron, but it was also a pledge to himself. Completing the Emperor of Blood and Iron’s unfinished work also meant that Kang Chul-In would protect his Valhalla Empire.
“Shall we begin?” Kang Chul-In mumbled and looked back.
“Long live the Valhalla Empire!”
“Hooray!”
“Long live his imperial Majesty, Kang Chul-In!”
“Hooray!”
His army was there. The strongest army in Pangaea, equipped with burning animosity and retaliatory spirit, was waiting for Kang Chul-In’s order.
“Listen all!” Kang Chul-In bellowed.
“Yes, your imperial Majesty!” The million soldiers replied simultaneously.
“Today – no, this moment – shall be the first and last battle against the Agnaga.”
He planned to decide the victor with just one battle.
“The victor has already been decided.”
Moreover, Kang Chul-In was confident of winning.
“Let me ask.” He faced his audience. “Who will become the final victor? Will it be them?”
“No!”
“Will it be us?”
“Yes!”
To both Kang Chul-In and his soldiers, victory was almost a given. Kang Chul-In held the Core of Pangaea high up in the air.
“Well then...” He then shouted something that was a little cringey and cliché. “Follow me!”
However, it didn’t matter. This could very well be the last time he would ever shout ‘follow me.’
“I will lead you all to victory!” The Emperor’s mighty roar shook the grounds of Moscow.
“Waaaahhhhh!” Simultaneously, the Valhalla soldiers charged towards the Kremlin palace.
The final battle had begun, and it was intense. Hecate’s Temeraire bombed relentlessly. Stingray, which had a castle on its back, spewed out a toxic energy beam known as ‘Venom Beam.' The gigantic whale released water-type icy wind, while the ectoplasm ghost ship emitted a hallucinating wavelength to attack the Agnaga soldiers without mercy.
The magic-engineered artilleries made significant contributions as well. They could easily break through the Agnaga’s barrier, which eventually led to the death of countless Agnaga soldiers.
Moreover...
-
Roaaaaaaaaaaarrrr!
The most powerful existence of all released a terrifying roar and revealed herself.
-
Get lost if you wanna live, kiddos.
A huge black dragon over 200 metres in length warned her allies. A ‘miracle’ then happened.
“E-Escape!”
“Queen Dragon asks us to move!”
“Make way!”
“Get away from the center!”
The sight reminded one of the fabled crossing of the Red Sea, made possible when Moses divided it. Over a million soldiers parted left and right to open up a path. A scene of such a scale was unprecedented in both Pangaea and on Earth.
-
Good.
Desdemona grinned widely.
-
Shall we open up a path?
Immediately, Desdemona’s body began to swell up like a balloon. The ancient dragon was about to release ‘Dragon Breath,” which boasted the greatest firepower in Pangaea.
The next moment...
-
Banggggggggggggggggg!
Desdemona’s green Acid Breath began to erase everything in its path.
The destructive power of Acid Breath was incredible. It’s composed of a substance that could dissolve even bone upon contact. The ancient Agnaga soldiers were dissolved without a trace and splattered onto the ground.
“Keh…!” Kang Chul-In marveled. “As expected of a dragon.”
Indeed, Desdemona’s firepower was comparable to an atomic bomb. She might be a fool, but she was fundamentally still a mighty dragon!
-
Kang Chul-In, now!
Desdemona signaled to Kang Chul-In after spewing her last bit of Acid Breath.
“Roger.” Kang Chul-In nodded. “Follow me, central troop!”
He then began to dash through the shortcut to the Kremlin palace created by Desdemona.
“Waaahhh!”
“Let’s gooooo!”
“His imperial Majesty is on the frontline! Charge!”
200,000 soldiers followed Kang Chul-In in suit and charged straight to the enemy lines.
“Left troop, follow me!” Drakan, the dragon warrior, shouted at 400,000 soldiers.
“Right troop, this way!” Amur led another 400,000 soldiers and attacked the east.
It was a triangular formation. While Kang Chul-In led 200,000 soldiers through the shortcut to the central enemy lines, both Drakan and Amur would lead 400,000 soldiers to attack the flank!
Couldn’t be better than this. Kang Chul-In smiled as he penetrated the enemy lines. He might be tough and daring, but he was no idiot. He was a smart man. In fact, he was cunning. Even in the past, Kang Chul-In was the brain that singlehandedly led the Ishtar Alliance. Not only was he the most powerful in terms of strength, but he was also an invincible commander-in-chief! As such, he had powerful rationale behind his every move.
We will definitely win this battle as long as the triangular formation works. Guaranteed.
Kang Chul-In was 100% confident in winning. Such a simple and basic army formation was about to bring him the victory.
-
Roaaaaaar…!
At that moment, a gigantic beast obstructed Kang Chul-In’s path.
Furthermore...
-
Weak humans, how dare you challenge us, the Agnaga?
-
What a barbaric race… kek…!
-
Stop, members of an inferior species!
The generals of Agnaga, who were equipped with intelligence, appeared.
Kang Chul-In smirked because he had expected this. In any battle, the hardest part was to break through the central defense of the enemy army. However, he had to endure and do it.
The key was the central troop. Kang Chul-In and his 200,000 soldiers had to divert the attention of the ancient Agnaga army. Only then could he complete his ‘plan’ and achieve victory. Fortunately, Kang Chul-In had strong subjects and comrades who were as powerful as the Agnaga generals.
“Hey, idiot.” Kang Chul-In said to Dorian Explorer.
“Yes, Kang Chul-In?”
“Kill them all.”
“Ok!” Dorian shot out like a bullet.
“Lucia!”
“Yes, your imperial Majesty!”
“Crush them.”
“Certainly!” Lucia also began to charge at the Agnaga generals.
“Han Ye-Sun.”
“Yes, oppa.”
“Cut everything down.”
“Of course. I will never forgive anyone who dares to stand in your way.” Han Ye-Sun, who once tried to stand in Kang Chul-In’s way herself (due to a misunderstanding), was now his avid supporter.
“James! Podolski!”
“Yes, your imperial Majesty!”
“Give us your order, your imperial Majesty!”
James the leader of the guards and Podolski the commissioner were also deployed.
“Lee Chae-Rin.”
“Yes, honey!”
“Show us the power of money.”
“Certainly, hoho!” His wife was an ‘Arch Summoner’ who could even summon the Spirit King with her Epic item ‘Miss Moneypay.'
“Your imperial Majesty, you can’t leave me out!” Of course, Nilus the great Arch Mage had a role to play as well.
Good. While observing his subjects, comrades and wives, Kang Chul-In felt an emotion that he had never experienced before.
Everyone was trustworthy and reliable. Together, Kang Chul-In felt like he could win against anyone.
Let’s keep this flow going. Kang Chul-In enjoyed this unfamiliar feeling as he approached the Agnaga generals. He planned to kill them all, without any mercy!
***
A blood bath, no, a great blood bath had occurred!
The Valhalla’s imperial army was on the losing end because the Ancient Agnaga army had five times the number of soldiers compared to the imperial army. In normal circumstances, the Valhalla’s imperial army should’ve perished immediately. However, both parties were so well matched in strength that they had to resort to quarrelling. This was because Kang Chul-In alone could compensate for the discrepancy in army size!
Swish, swish! Kang Chul-In was in a zen-like trance at the frontline, swinging Mitra and Kaiforce left and right indiscriminately.
“Whoever stands in my way shall not survive.”
Kang Chul-In became the Grim Reaper himself. He had to.
“Argh!”
“Y-Your imperial Majesty… please… please achieve victory…!”
“Argh!”
“Urgh!”
Even at this moment, hundreds of his soldiers were dying in battle. Kang Chul-In could not tolerate that. Casualties were a natural occurrence in any war, but Kang Chul-In had the strength to reduce his soldiers’ sacrifice. The more he killed the enemy soldiers, the less the harm to his allies. Kang Chul-In was willing to be labelled the Grim Reaper if he could mitigate the damage to his allies.
He was a man who upheld noblesse oblige! That was Kang Chul-In, the Emperor of Pangaea!
“Kuhuk!”
“Argh!”
“Arghhhh!”
Despite Kang Chul-In’s amazing achievements, the imperial army still suffered a massive loss, but that was to be expected. How could charging through the enemy lines be an easy task? Realistically speaking, most of Kang Chul-In’s 200,000 soldiers could end up dead. In fact, 100,000 soldiers had already passed away in battle.
“Let’s go further! We can’t stop! I will take the lead! Follow me!”
They were moving step by step. Although his central troop was advancing slowly, it was clearly penetrating the ancient Agnaga army’s center.
As a result...
We are almost here!
After battling for almost half a day, Kang Chul-In arrived at the central area of the Kremlin palace. He had done it. He had successfully pierced through the enemy lines!
“How foolish.”
It was at that moment...
“Digging your own grave? Drawn into the fire like a moth?”
An existence radiating an eerily powerful aura was approaching the central troop’s frontline.
“Kek...” Kang Chul-In smirked. “Finally, we meet.”
Kang Chul-In could instantly recognize the stranger thanks to the Emperor of Blood and Iron’s memories. He was an individual with the title of ‘Relentless Predator,’ who led the Agnagas to conquer and destroy countless planets.
Rindermergel! Kang Chul-In’s arch-nemesis, as well as the final boss, had appeared!
