The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 179






That day, when the helicopter attacked the bone dragon, the army realized just how terrifying an enraged bone dragon could be .


Dduddudduddu!


At the sudden attack of the bone dragon, the attack helicopter fired its machine gun as a mode of defense, but the result was disastrous .


A high-level monster’s barrier and skin wasn’t something that could be broken through with these kinds of bullets, and the bone dragon was able to easily destroy the helicopter .


Without giving it even time to crash land, it had crushed the helicopter to smithereens .


“ . . . !”


“ . . . !”


This scene was broadcasted live to the officers of the army that had given the orders,


Bang!


Bang!


And two other helicopters that had been sent as back-up were also destroyed soon after . The secret card the government had given them--- the attack through the helicopters--- had just been nullified .


“T-That monster…”


Oh Se-Min murmured, in shock .


He thought that they could kill it . With the hellfire missile, he thought that they could take down the bone dragon . He thought that with this shot, they could show that the army wasn’t just useless .


But he was wrong .


The attacks through the hellfire missile and the machine gun were purely physical-based attacks, so it was like adding fuel to the fire .


Clack!!


The bone dragon that was now in its berserk state flew high up into the sky .


Where the bone dragon headed was towards a skyscraper--- the top of the Jamsil Sinkhole Tower . It was also the tallest building in South Korea .


Bang!


The bone dragon that landed on the very top of the Jamsil Sinkhole Tower…


-Kuoooo!


Roared, as if saying that this building was now in its possession . This was the moment that the capital of South Korea, Seoul, was conquered by the bone dragon .


-----------


The officers of the army weren’t the only ones that watched this occur .


It was currently the era where each person owned a smartphone, and it wasn’t an overstatement to say that everywhere in the world, there were ears and eyes .


Now that smartphones allowed people to watch simple internet streams, there weren’t many things that could be kept as a secret .


This was the same as when monsters appeared in Seoul, and the fight between the Kang Chul-In - Lee Chae-rin duo and the bone dragon was being broadcasted through a streaming platform called ‘Serengeti TV’ . From the very beginning, Kwak-Jung had put up 4 drones in order to broadcast this fight .


So basically, Oh Se-min’s plans to keep this a secret to the public had already been seen through .


-jmn1: What the hell…


-Lu<3: They actually shot that… when someone was fighting…


-erredsl: Damned bastards… Which country owns that helicopter? Is it us? Is it the U . S? Goddammit… Whoever did that, they really are god-damned fucking bastards .


-app1st1: I really don’t have anything to say__ . Who gave those orders to shoot? Is that person even a human?


-cnjw: Now who’s going to protect us… D:


-Dambokchi: Did they really have to shoot right now??? Fuck…


Even the netizens thought that Oh Se-min’s orders were stupid .


The Kang Chul-In - Lee Chae-rin duo had grasped the opportunity at that moment .


Even the netizens realized that Kang Chul-In’s final blow was going to do some significant damage to the bone dragon, but the hellfire missile that came out of nowhere ruined everything .


Not only that, but . . .


“Mr . Chul-In!!!”



The following scene pissed the netizens off even more .


“Mr . Chul-In, are you alright? Please… open your eyes! Mr . Chul-In!!”


Overlord Lee Chae-rin that had now become a summoner grasped Kang Chul-In, who had lost consciousness .


“Mr . Chul-In… Please… Mr . Chul-In…”


After getting hit by the hellfire missile, Kang Chul-In didn’t wake up .


It was obvious .


Even though Kang Chul-In had high defense and magic resistance, he wouldn’t come out unscathed after getting hit by a Hellfire missile .


As proof of that, the unique-rank armor that Kang Chul-In was wearing was now in tatters, and some of Kang Chul-In’s skin that could be seen through the broken armor was covered in blood . No matter who saw it, they would realize that this was a severe injury . Maybe… it was an injury that could be fatal to Kang Chul-In .


“Mr . Chul-In… Don’t die…”


Sobbing, Lee Chae-rin tiredly held Kang Chul-In up . She was trying to move Kang Chul-In to a safe place .


It was truly a stroke of luck for them that the bone dragon decided to ignore them and attack the helicopters instead .


If not… Lee Chae-rin would have to fight against the bone dragon alone, and she definitely wouldn’t be able to protect herself and Kang Chul-In .


If that happened, the tragedy of two Overlords in Pangaea disappearing would become big news .


“Mr . Chul-In… Mr . Chul-In… I’ll save you… Mr . Chul-In…! Now is my turn to save Mr . Chul-In…”


Lee Chae-rin mustered the last bit of her strength and tried to save Kang Chul-In .


It was difficult for Lee Chae-rin, who was about 163cm to carry Kang Chul-In who was 183cm and was muscular . It seemed that she was dragging him with her, rather than holding him up .


This sight was broadcasted live through the 4 drones that Kwak-Jung had, and the reactions of the people watching were explosive .


-akrkadms: Ah… fuck… I really can’t watch this anymore…


-wlsWk: I’m crying right now…


-glaemfek: How could they strike a person that was fighting against a monster? Is this something a human can do?


-123ehakdclrh: Get better… Please…


-tlvek: Don’t die… Stand up… ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ


And quickly, the emotions of the viewers turned into rage .


-tnlrhtlvek911: I really don’t have anything to say… much less help him, look at what they…


-tkadlfaks: Such a shitty world… I wonder if we’ll bomb our own troops if a war breaks out .


-vnr: Hahahaha… Who’s the bastard that gave these commands LOL! I really can’t believe someone came out with such a shitty idea, hahahahaha!


It made sense that the viewers became pissed, watching the ‘team-kill’ done by the korean army .


--------


After fainting, Kang Chul-In was moved to a safe place, and was moved to a hospital where the person in charge was a friend of Old man Kwon .


“Sob sob…”


Inside the ambulance carrying Kang Chul-In, Lee Chae-rin held tightly onto Kang Chul-In’s hand, and sobbed .


“Mr . Chul-In, don’t die… Please don’t die… Sob…”


“Who says I’m going to die?”


“Of course, Mr . Chul-In definitely…”


At that moment, Lee Chae-rin was startled .


“M-Mr . Chul-In?”


“Sh…”


Grunting in pain, Kang Chul-In put his left index finger to his mouth, signaling Lee Chae-rin to be quiet .


“My head hurts . So… please speak quietly . ”


“A-Are you alright?”


“Of course . ”


“Really?”


“It’s just a minor concussion, nothing major . If I drink some potions, I’ll be fine . ”


Kang Chul-In spoke, as if nothing was wrong .


“What on earth…”


“What…”


The doctor and the medical staff riding on the ambulance together with them looked at Kang Chul-In as if they were looking at a monster .


“H-How…?”


“Before that…”


Kang Chul-In stared at Lee Chae-rin’s hands that were gripping onto Kang Chul-In’s right hand .


“Please… let go . ”


“Sorry?”


“My right hand is a mess right now . I’m pretty sure that at least 5 places on it are broken, so if you hold it like that, it hurts . A lot . ”


“S-Sorry!”


Startled, Lee Chae-rin quickly let go of Kang Chul-In’s hand .


Since Kang Chul-In had fought the bone dragon with his bare hands, his right hand was completely messed up . He had to hit the sturdy bones of the dragon with his bare hands, so it would be weirder if his hands were fine .


“I need a weapon . ”


Kang Chul-In spoke, as if it was a shame .


“A weapon?”


“There’s a limit to fighting with my bare hands . It’s getting tiring . If I keep fighting with my fists, they might break again . ”


“Should I buy you one?”


“An epic item?”


“W-Well…”


Lee Chae-rin turned speechless at Kang Chul-In’s response .


An epic item was something that one couldn’t just simply buy .


“It’s okay, so you don’t have to pay attention to me . ”


“Huh?”


“I know some dungeons where I can get epic items, so I’ll just go there . Even though I can’t get a truly useful weapon at the moment… There might be something that I can use for the current situation . ”


Kang Chul-In said, looking through his past memories .


He had conquered countless dungeons with Dorian before . It made sense that he could come up with at least one dungeon that gave a suitable weapon for this situation .


The weapon I need right now… is a light-element based sword .


Kang Chul-In had always used a sword as his weapon of choice, and they definitely needed a light-element based weapon to take the black bone dragon down .


Since I’m level 64 right now, a light-element sword that I can get from a level 70 dungeon…


Kang Chul-In thought of a few items, but there didn’t seem to be one that fit the current situation .


Even though he could think of some fire or dark based epic weapons, they wouldn’t be of much use in this situation .


“This might be bad…”


Kang Chul-In murmured, unable to think of anything .


“Huu…”


At that moment, Lee Chae-rin sighed .


“Why are you sighing?”


“It seems that Mr . Chul-In only has fighting in his mind, even after just waking up . ”


“There’s no choice . Now that the bone dragon is in its berserk state, it will rampage around for at least 4-5 days . In that time, thousands will die . ”


“Is there no way to beat it right now?”


“The only chance is if it somehow comes out of its berserk state, or if I have a light-element sword . ”


“Is that so…?”


Lee Chae-rin shook her head, and continued to talk .


“Still . . . ”


“ . . . ?”


“I’m glad… Mr . Chul-In didn’t die . ”


“Well…”


Kang Chul-In’s words were interrupted by Lee Chae-rin hugging him .


“Mr . Chul-In…”


Lee Chae-rin sobbed .


“I was worried… I thought Mr . Chul-In would die… Sob…”


“ . . . is that so?”


“Sob…”


“Umm…”


Kang Chul-In was startled .


He didn’t know how to calm her down .


It seemed that due to his addiction to working, all of his ‘romance cells’ had dried up, and died .


“Well… it’s okay . I’m alive . ”


Kang Chul-In said, somewhat foolishly .


“Hmph!”


Lee Chae-rin pouted .


------------


Kkiii!


The ambulance suddenly stopped .


“The road in front of us is blocked . I think something might be in the way…”


“Then turn the car around towards Bangbae-station . Even though that place will have bad traffic too… Wait a minute… Is that a monster blocking the way?!”


It seemed that the road had been blocked due to the appearance of a monster .


What a hellhole . I mean, it wouldn’t be Seoul otherwise .


Seoul was a city that was extremely densely populated, and there were also a bunch of cars . It would make sense that the traffic would become hellish if a monster appeared, since it was bad in the first place .


“Hello, there . ”


At that moment, a lieutenant commander came by, and talked to the man driving the car .


“Ah, yes . Hello . ”


“Is the person inside in grave danger?”


“Uh… Well…”


The man that was driving stared at Kang Chul-In, who was talking to Lee Chae-rin .


“He’s not in ‘grave’ danger, but he is a VVIP…”


“Ah…”


“He’s director Kang of the Galaxy Corporation . He got injured while fighting a monster…”


“Ah, is that so?”


Even though the lieutenant commander didn’t know what had happened, he knew that Kang Chul-In was the one that warned people of the monsters beforehand .


“Hmm…”


After thinking to himself, the man spoke again .


“If you need to go quickly, then I think I can let you pass . ”


“Huh? Isn’t a monster blocking the road right now?”


“Oh, well… no . ”


“Then?”


“Something similar to a monster gate popped up near Sadang-station… But nothing’s coming out from it, so… I think that it’ll be okay if you pass by quickly . ”


“Hmm…”


The driver hesitated .


Even though Kang Chul-In looked fine right now, they needed to take him to the hospital to do a proper check-up .


“Hey, you there . ”


After listening to their conversation, Kang Chul-In interrupted .


“What color was that monster gate?”


“Sorry?”


“I asked what color the gate was . ”


“It… was grey, I think . ”


“Then it’s okay . ”


“What do you mean…”


“No monsters will come out of a grey gate . ”


Kang Chul-In spoke .


“Really?”


“If the gate is grey, that means that the dungeon inside is shaped like a maze . There won’t be monsters that come out . Maybe 1 or 2 at most, and the strong monsters are deep inside the maze, so there’s no need to worry . ”


“Aha!”


Understanding Kang Chul-In’s explanation, the lieutenant commander nodded .


“Thank you, director Kang . ”


Saying this, he saluted towards Kang Chul-In, and made way for the ambulance to pass by .


“Hmph, to choose a maze dungeon out of everything . ”


Kang Chul-In laughed .


And while he was laughing, the ambulance passed by Sadang-station, where the dungeon was .


But at that moment---


-A hidden quest has occurred!


As the ambulance passed by the maze gate near Sadang-station, Kang Chul-In’s inventory opened up automatically, and a scroll floated up .


“ . . . !”


Kang Chul-In’s face stiffened .


This scroll was one of the rewards he had gotten for getting 1st place in the lord meetings, the epic item called ‘The Trace of the Holy Light Sword’ .


That meant,


“Holy light sword? . . . Mitra?”


That a quest, related to the legendary sword Mitra, had just occurred!
