The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 110






“Me? I am a ‘true’ vampire! Not one of those dirty half-bloods you can see just about anywhere . ”


The blonde-haired man opened his mouth .


True Vampire .


These were beings superior to normal vampires and were also known to be contenders for being a ‘Vampire Lord’, the kings of all vampires . Basically, they were the nobles of the Vampire race .


“Thaddeus, Alfred Northrod de Thaddeus . That’s me . ”


As soon as Kang Chul-In heard the name of the vampire, his expression turned extremely ominous .


Alfred?


This young, blonde-haired man standing in front of him was his old secretary?


‘How can this be…’


He couldn’t believe it .


No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t get himself to believe that this blonde-haired man in front of him was Alfred .


Though Alfred in Kang Chul-In’s memory also had blonde hair, he wasn’t as young as this .


Kang Chul-In tried his best to remember how Alfred looked like in his memories and compared his image to the Alfred standing in front of him .


It wasn’t easy .


They were polar opposites; one a handsome young man, while the other an old man who just liked to speak to him as if he were Kang Chul-In’s own mother, always talking to him about marriage .


It was a stereotype that only Kang Chul-In possessed .


To him, Alfred was an old man . Whether it be 10 years ago, 50 years ago, 100 years ago, or 1000 years ago . Even when Alfred was born .


Kang Chul-In had never thought about Alfred’s appearance when he was younger .


‘Is this . . . really Alfred?”


Kang Chul-In looked carefully at Alfred’s face .


‘Eyes… nose… they’re all similar . ’


As for his hair . . . he was always blonde, so he didn’t need to look at that .



‘And his mouth…’


The distinguishing thing about Alfred’s appearance was his noble-looking mouth .


‘It’s the same . ’


Though it was difficult to believe due to him having such a different appearance than the one from before, it was undeniable that he could see traces of Alfred within the face before him .


‘Alfred… Alfred . The Valhalla Territory, no, the people inside the Valhalla Dungeon are not sane . Lucy, Bellatrix, and even the Immortal Vanguard . That means…’


“Alfred . ”


Kang Chul-In called out to his old Secretary, with a wisp of a smile on his face .


“It’s been a long time . ”


Though it had been a long time and his appearance was not the same, Alfred was still Alfred . It had to be a pleasant surprise for Kang Chul-In .


So instead of fighting, he asked another question .


“Do you remember me, Alfred?”


Kang Chul-In asked, with a sliver of hope remaining inside of him .


“Kuk…”


But Alfred laughed .


“Kuku… Remember you…? Do I remember you…? Kukuku…”


“A true vampire that had risen to the status of a Lord Candidate… Would he remember you? A puny human? Ha!”


His words were full of insanity and bloodlust, and it didn’t seem that he remembered Kang Chul-In at all .


But Kang Chul-In wasn’t flustered .


“Is that it…? Even you cannot remember me and have to fight, Alfred?”


“Kuku… A lowly human like you… you’re going to speak to me like that? Kuku… HOW DARE YOU!”


Kang Chul-In and Alfred, the two who once had the relationship of servant and master, faced each other and growled .


After that…


CLANG-!


-----


Not even 5 minutes into the fight .


“Kang Chul-In… is being pushed back?”


Dorian was astonished .


It was surprising to Dorian because to him, Kang Chul-In was meant to be invincible . He had never been pushed back so hard in a fight before .


However, at this very moment, Kang Chul-In was fighting an extremely dangerous battle against a True Vampire .


Whiiing!


Puk…


Charged with the spell Vortex, Kaiforce pierced through the heart of Alfred .


A few moments afterwards, Alfred’s stomach was completely blown away from the aftershock of the Vortex . However…


“Puny and useless tricks . ”


Though his heart was punctured, Alfred laughed maniacally and dashed towards Kang Chul-In .


“As if they would work on me!”


Saying that, Alfred grabbed Kang Chul-In’s collar, and slammed him into the ground . The wound that he had from before had already healed .


“Kang Chul-In!”


Though Dorian was running towards Kang Chul-In in worry…


“Don’t intervene!”


“Don’t come any closer . ”


He was stopped by Kang Chul-In’s shout, as well as Alfred’s words .


“How dare you . ”


The young Alfred stared at Dorian with bloodshot eyes .


“A stupid idiot like you dares to interrupt this noble one’s enjoyment?”


“S-Stupid?”


“Does such a thing like you not have eyes?”


Laughing, Alfred started swearing and dissing Dorian .


“Small height, no dignity in your behavior, and a stupid way of talking--- and not only that! I can sense that you don’t belong anywhere, so you just travel around . A lonely wanderer . ”


Considering that Dorian’s height was 173cm while Alfred was almost 190cm, it made sense that Alfred would call Dorian ‘short’ .


“You disrespectful vampire!”


An angry Dorian rushed towards Alfred even with Kang Chul-In telling Dorian not to do so .


Kuk!


Controlled by the telekinetic powers of Alfred, Dorian stopped midway in his attack, and had to slowly watch as Alfred walked closer, and grabbed his throat with an iron grip .


“Kuk . . ”


“Did you really think that you could do anything to me, pitiful human?”


“K-Kuk…”


Though Dorian tried his best to struggle and put up a fight, Alfred’s choke was just as powerful as Kang Chul-In’s grip, if not stronger .


“You do understand what will happen if I just put a little bit more strength here, right?”


Laughing, Alfred looked at Dorian with his bloodshot eyes .


“Now, it’s time for you to die . Pitiful tra…”


Before he could finish . . .


BANG!


Vortex around it, Kaiforce flew towards Alfred’s head, before completely blowing it up .


“I don’t know if it’s because he’s a true vampire, but that healing factor of his is just ridiculous . ”


“Stay back now . ”


Kang Chul-In looked at Dorian, his face serious .


“But, you’re being pushed back . ”


“With your current level of strength, you won’t be of help to me in this fight . ”


“But…!”


“I’m warning you right now . Don’t . Join . The . Fight . ”


Kang Chul-In emphasized each word .


The opponent was Alfred .


And to Kang Chul-In, the one who had to put rest to his old secretary was none other than him . It was his way of apologizing to his old comrade .


“Seeing as how he doesn’t like you, that’s definitely the Alfred I know . ”


Though he was in a pitiful state, Kang Chul-In still laughed . It was because he once again witnessed Alfred disliking Dorian .


“As a human, you’re not bad . Not bad, but…”


Alfred, who had already healed up from the previous attack, looked at Kang Chul-In again .


“How dare you look down on me, a true vampire? Do you wish to die?”


“Of course I look down on my servants . Should I look up to them instead?”


Laughing, Kang Chul-In once again retorted .


“Servant? Kuku… You’re just a guy who doesn’t know his place . For you, I’ll be especially violent in tearing up your body into pieces and devouring you . ”


Though it was a terrifying threat, it didn’t have an effect on Kang Chul-In .


“You’re welcome anytime . ”


To Kang Chul-In, it didn’t matter what happened to him after death . He wasn’t one to really care about those things .


“But first, it’s time for you to get punished for speaking like that to your Lord . ”


Though his body was severely injured, Kang Chul-In walked forward as if the fight was just beginning .


Of course there was no way that Kang Chul-In, who had laughed at Alex Rothschild and the Lord alliance as he died, would be afraid of a situation like this .


Maybe I’ll have a chance if I use ‘that\'…


It was at that moment .


-Do you want my strength?


Vibrating, Kaiforce talked to Kang Chul-In with sweet temptation .
