The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 225






“This is the worst . ”


After looking at the picture once more, Kang Chul-In’s expression stiffened .


The picture looked absolutely disgusting, with the cocoon filled with all sorts of creepy crawling bugs .


“So, are these bugs that you know?”


“No . ”


At Dorian’s question, Kang Chul-In shook his head .


“I haven’t seen these disgusting things before either . ”


“Hmm…”


“Well, did you investigate this case afterwards?”


“Hmm, there wasn’t really much to investigate anyway . It’s not like they had any special powers . They just smelled bad . But…”


“ . . . ?”


“I actually took out these bugs…”


“What a useless…”


Just as Kang Chul-In was about to criticize Dorian, the next picture he saw made him close his mouth .


“The shape… of a human?”


“Right? It looks as if a human was inside there, right?”


Kang Chul-In shook his head .


“But there’s no way that a human could go inside a cocoon like that . ”


“Hmm… That’s true too . Maybe a human-shaped monster then? Or a demon? That’s what I think . ”



“Well, that does make sense . So, what happened after? I’m sure that someone like you wouldn’t have stopped just there, with your curiosity . ”


“Hehe~! Kang Chul-In, you know me too well . ”


After shrugging his shoulders, Dorian continued .


“So basically, I chased the tracks along with Podolski . After all, the heat in the cocoon suggested that the thing had only come out recently . ”


“And the result?”


“Well, I found its tracks after chasing it for around 30 minutes, and after 10 more minutes, I could finally see its behind . It was like 2 kilometres away from me at that time . ”


“You’re saying this because you couldn’t catch him, right?”


“Yeah, even though I don’t know what it was… It was extremely fast . Almost as fast as you, I think . ”


“ . . . ?”


“To be completely honest, he seemed faster than you with your second phase Overdrive . ”


Even though this was somewhat hard to believe, Kang Chul-In still believed what Dorian said .


---------


At the same time .


“Ha… ha…”


The unknown existence that had run away from Dorian stopped .


Under the moonlight, its appearance was extremely hideous .


Its black skin seemed like that of an insect’s, and pus was flowing from between its muscles .


There were also a combination of colors in its eyes, making it seem like that of a fly’s .


And,


Crawl…


With insects like centipedes and worms crawling in its eyes, ears, and mouth, it looked truly like the most disgusting existence in all of Pangaea and Earth .


“Who is it!?”


At that moment .


“What is it!?”


“Is it a monster?”


“Everyone, ready for battle!’


Some adventurers who were passing by this place by chance stopped after looking at it, and got ready for battle .


“Oi, you . ”


One of the adventurers started to cautiously walk towards it, and spoke .


“Show your . . . ”


At that moment,


Kwajik!


It dashed towards the adventurer like thunder, and attacked the adventurer .


RIP!


With the sound of flesh and bones being ripped apart,


“Ahhhhh!”


The adventurer screamed in pain .


“Kek… Kekeke…”


And it laughed .


As if it was funny, and as if it was enjoying how powerful it was right now, it laughed .


Soon after,


Chomp, chomp .


After killing all 8 adventurers in the blink of an eye, it started to eat the bodies of the dead adventurers .


Cannibalism . It was the fate of this existence that was cursed .


***


The Kang Chul-In party had to search for over 2 more days after coming into the forest .


Of course, Kang Chul-In and the Ninetails were able to run at extreme speeds, but the problem was that they didn’t know where the witch lived .


“That damned witch…”


Pissed off, Kang Chul-In stabbed at the bonfire with a stick .


“Hmm… maybe I should have brought Jack too…”


Dorian said, tilting his head .


“There’s no way that a seeker could find a house, though . ”


“That’s true, I guess . ”


“Well, let’s rest here for a while, and start to search again once the sun comes up . ”


Kang Chul-In said .


It was currently late at night, and it was extremely dark in the already dark ‘Dark Forest’ . It would be much easier if they started to move again when day came .


“To be completely honest, I don’t know how my mother will respond to you . ”


During the journey, Kang Chul-In and the Ninetails talked about many things, and got to know each other better .


“Well, this girl is confident!”


The Ninetails spoke, smiling .


“After all, my husband\'s mother is now also my mot…”


Just when the Ninetails was going to remind Kang Chul-In that she was going to be his wife . . .


“Wait . ”


Kang Chul-In motioned for her to quiet down .


Hwek!


The Ninetails suddenly looked backwards .


Her gaze was pointed at the same direction that Kang Chul-In was looking .


With her animalistic instincts, she had also sensed that someone was coming up from behind too .


“Hmm, what is it? Something’s coming . ”


Dorian also noticed .


“Right, something’s coming . ”


Finally, Kang Chul-In stood up from where he was sitting .


And,


“Ah, I can tell from first glance . ”


With the voice of a woman, someone showed themself .


A woman that was wearing an extremely long robe that was being dragged on the ground had a beautiful appearance and sensual body and was also wearing a hat that witches would wear .


“I’ve been waiting for a long time, Julius Berlinetta Pon Aurangzeb . No, what do I call you now… The reincarnation of the Emperor of Blood and Iron? Well, whatever . I just need to show you the past anyway . ”


At that moment, one of the soldiers shouted .


“It’s her, Milord! She’s the witch!”


It seemed like the woman that had suddenly come and spoke some nonsense was the witch that lived in the Dark Forest .
