The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 160: Breakthrough (pt. 2)

Kang Chul-In had a problem. 

He was alone, and his movements were restricted, as he was carrying Arshelly on his back.

“Your name was... Kang Chul-In, right?”

Abubakar said, laughing.

“If you surrender, I will give you a quick death.”

Backed up by the elites of Baruk Al-Yusuf’s army, Abubakar spoke confidently.

“Isn’t that generous? After you humiliated our Lord in the previous Lord meeting, I'm offering you painless death. Instead of suffering, you may embrace the arms of Allah.”

Kang Chul-In's response to this was: 

“Eat this.”

Kuooo!

Instead of using words, he replied with Vortex. 

The tornado swept aside those who stood in the way, and quickly headed towards where Abubakar stood.

“Hup…”

Startled, Abubakar gasped and jumped away.

However, Vortex wasn’t a simple attack that could be dodged just like that.

“Ack!”

Abubakar screamed in pain.

“W-What…”

And he looked down incredulously, only to find that his waist was bleeding and missing a bit of flesh.

“What on…”

Abubakar felt cold sweat pouring down his back.

This happened just by Vortex grazing him, so it was obvious that he would have been ripped to shreds if he had been hit head on.

“You bas…”

While Abubakar was swearing…

-Krrrr!

The Altaica started to dash, and leapt towards Abubakar. Of course, Kang Chul-In was riding on it as well.

“...!”

Abubakar froze in place, unable to even scream.

A-Am I going to die…

The fear of death flashed through Abubakar’s mind. If nothing changed, he would definitely be crushed under the Altaica’s feet.

But, before he could get crushed, 

Bang!

With a large noise, an explosion occurred between Kang Chul-In and Abubakar.

Red flesh was splattered all over the ground randomly.

“A-Ah… I’m alive…”

Abubakar had barely been kept alive, due to the sacrifice of a suicide bomber.

“GO!”

-Krrr!

Kang Chul-In didn’t miss this short moment.

This isn’t the time to be fighting.

If he were alone, he would fight them, but not with Arshelly on his back.

“Faster!”

Kang Chul-In urged the Altaica, and the godbeast followed up by accelerating into its maximum speed.

“T-These bastards!”

Realizing that they had fallen to a cheap trick, Abubakar’s face turned red with rage.

“C-Catch him!”

Abubakar pointed at Kang Chul-In, who was escaping.

“Catch him now! Catch that stupid bitch!”

Tat!

Under his commands, the elites of Anatolia started to chase behind the Altaica quickly.

However,

Ssss……!

Out of nowhere, black currents started to swirl in the air, before ghostly figures wearing black armor appeared. The Spectre Knights had come to let Kang Chul-In escape.

“T-T-This bastard!”

Abubakar gritted his teeth, facing the Spectre Knights.

Their existences couldn’t just be ignored.

If he ignored them and tried to chase after Kang Chul-in, he would definitely lose his troops to the powerful Spectre Knights. 

“Guards!”

Abubakar ordered.

“Stop the Spectre Knights along with the soldiers! Quickly!”

Even though he was reluctant in giving this order, it was necessary. If the soldiers and the guards were able to stop the Spectre knights, it wouldn’t be a bad trade-off.

“Everyone else, chase him! Run, run, and catch that bastard!”

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

Even though he had managed to gain some distance from Baruk Al-Yusuf’s army, the situation didn’t look good for Kang Chul-In.

-Allahu Akbar!

It was because whenever he heard that damned ‘allahu akbar’, 

Bang!

An explosion would occur near him.

In the future… any terrorist that speaks of Allah in front of me... will definitely get some mental training.

Kang Chul-In vowed.

Although the Altaica responded quickly to these explosions, it would be impossible to dodge all of them. The best he could do was try to protect Arshelly from these explosions.

Thanks to this, he started to be covered with wounds.

His seemingly infinite mana and his stamina that seemed to fuel him for a few thousand kilometres both started to run low.

These crazy psychopaths...

While Kang Chul-In was thinking,

-Allahu Akbar!

With another shout, yet another explosion occurred near Kang Chul-In.

“His back! Aim for his back!”

Abubakar shouted.

“It looks like he’s carrying something precious on his back, aim for it!”

It seemed that the enemies had figured out what was going on.

“Suicide bomb a little bit further away from him!" 

Abubakar added yet another dirty tactic to catch Kang Chul-In.

-Allahu Akbar!

Bang!

Allahu Akbar! 

Bang!

Rather than trying to get as close as they could to Kang Chul-In, the soldiers exploded from a small distance away. Although this didn’t do 100% of the damage it could do, it slowly hurt Kang Chul-In.

These crazy bastards.

The assassins were also getting close to Kang Chul-In, allowing for no rest.

Puk!

Kang Chul-In’s sword punctured an assassin’s heart.

However,

“Together… we die together!”

Even though he had been stabbed in the heart, the assassin moved until his dying breath. This was what the drug allowed.

This isn’t a good situation.

Kang Chul-In’s instincts warned him.

If it was any other army he would have been able to escape, but these damned Anatolian soldiers didn’t allow an easy escape. 

Pzzt, Pzzt!

Kang Chul-In activated the 2nd stage of Overdrive.

“You take care of the scraps.”

Kang Chul-In shouted towards the Altaica.

-Krr!

Despite its injuries, the Altaica roared, before leaping towards the Anatolian soldiers.

“Let’s finish this quickly.”

Jumping off the Altaica, Kang Chul-In dashed towards the assassins and the suicide bombers.

Bang! 

Kuooo!

Whiii!

With all sorts of noises, the area around Kang Chul-In and the enemies were destroyed.

“Kuk…”

The elites of Anatolia started to fall one by one.

But that didn’t mean Kang Chul-In wasn’t taking any damage.

His lacking mana and stamina, along with the small wounds he had, were starting to slow him down.

“I’ll destroy you all.”

Kang Chul-In didn’t stop there. Instead of succumbing to his wounds, he started to make more dynamic movements and fought the enemies as if he were the reincarnation of a war god.

Pow!

Kang Chul-In’s fist cracked the skull of an assassin.

And even though a suicide bomber tried to get close to Kang Chul-In,

Pow!

Kang Chul-In punched straight through his chest and destroyed his heart, killing the soldier before he could even suicide.

Slowly but surely, the elites of Anatolia started to die out.

“W-What kind of monster…”

“H-He’s not human…”

Looking at Kang Chul-In’s strength, the Anatolian soldiers started to tremble. They had been frightened by Kang Chul-In’s ridiculous strength.

Tuk…

One more assassin fell.

“...!”

“...!”

“...!”

The eyes of the people watching nearby were filled with shock.

After all, the assassin that fell... was the only one remaining.

With that assassin, the elites of Baruk Al-Yusuf had finally been completely exterminated by the hands of Kang Chul-In.

“Huu…”

Kang Chul-In took in a deep breath.

As a human, he also needed to breathe sometimes.

“M-Monster…”

Though, some didn't believe he was human. 

Looking at the completely blood-soaked Kang Chul-In, Abubakar started to step back.

“Hey you, what did you say to me again?”

Abubakar no longer had time to be startled. Kang Chul-In was walking towards him.

“D-Don’t come any closer!”

The once infamous terrorist, Abubakar, started to tremble in front of Kang Chul-In, like prey would before their predator.

“Whose head were you going to chop off again?”

Kang Chul-In laughed.
