Chapter 107 . Valhalla Dungeon (pt . 3)
This was definitely a big crisis for Kang Chul-In .
If he got hit by the Vortex, the body part that was struck would definitely be torn off .
But what if it was the Mega Vortex?
… He would die if even the slightest bit of it touched him .
In the past, Lucy was able to use this powerful authority of her’s to wipe out over 10,000 soldiers of Alex Rothschild in one blow .
He had to dodge it .
Unless he wanted to be swept up by the winds and ripped into shreds, Kang Chul-In had to dodge the Mega Vortex .
“KANG CHUL-INNNNNNN!!”
Listening to Dorian’s fierce roar, Kang Chul-In activated the second phase of Overdrive .
Bang!
The mana inside of his body started to rampage…
Badum .
Badum! Badum!
And the beating of his heart started to disperse the mana throughout his body .
I can dodge it . I’m fast, and I… have no limits .
Hypnotising himself, Kang Chul-In tricked himself into believing that he wasn’t the level 40 Kang Chul-In right now, but rather Kang Chul-In in his prime .
His leg muscles contracted to their limits, and the phase two Overdrive allowed Kang Chul-In to transcend the limits of his body .
BANG!
Creating a sonic boom, Kang Chul-In ‘distorted’ the space around him . He had shown the most he could, no, more than what his most should be able to show .
“Kang… Chul-In?”
Dorian was startled . Kang Chul-In was no longer anywhere to be seen .
But there was no more time to be startled .
It was because the Mega Vortex that had been aiming for Kang Chul-In hit the ground, and created a huge tornado that ripped apart the Valhalla plaza .
“Agh!”
Screaming pitifully, Dorian was hit by flying debris and smashed against a nearby wall .
“What in hell…”
Looking around, everything was in ruins .
“Kang Chul-In… What about Kang Chul-In?”
Dorian quickly looked for his comrade .
“Kang Chul-In!!!”
Shouting while looking through the rubble, Dorian looked for Kang Chul-In . And…
“Kang . . . Chul-In?”
He was able to find Kang Chul-In, who was pointing Kaiforce at Lucy’s neck .
---
“It’s over . ”
Kang Chul-In said .
However, Lucy’s answer disappointed him .
“I… am an unstoppable existence . ”
“Unstoppable?”
“You must know too… My life force is no longer here . ”
“ . . . There might be an opportunity . ”
“Will there be one though?”
Lucy faintly smiled .
Swoosh…
She started scattering into dust particles . First it was just parts of her, and then it was her entire body--- purplish particles in the shape of a dark elf .
And finally, she was gone .
“Go . ”
Kang Chul-In hoped the best for his former subordinate in the afterlife .
He didn’t apologize for discarding her . It was because he still didn’t regret choosing Laputa over Valhalla .
If I hadn’t had been defeated, this would have never happened .
Instead, the desire to take revenge on his previous life became even more intense .
Everything started that day when they had lost the war .
So…
This time, I won’t fail .
He didn’t want to see any more suffering from his subordinates .
I won’t lose anymore .
Kang Chul-In promised himself .
“Kang Chul-In . ”
At that moment, a stiff voice interrupted Kang Chul-In’s thoughts . It was Dorian, who seemed to have a lot of questions to ask .
“Who… are you?”
“No . Not right now . ”
“ . . . Will I ever be able to hear the truth from you?”
“Maybe another day . ”
“But…”
Dorian suddenly pointed to where Lucy had vanished .
“What’s that?”
Kang Chul-In instinctually followed Dorian’s finger, to where…
The Core of the Abyss…
It was the core, which Kang Chul-In had given to Lucy in the past .
Walking closer to it, Kang Chul-In stretched his arms towards it .
The grey bluish sphere that was the Core slowly dissipated, being absorbed into Kang Chul-In’s body .
With that, Kang Chul-In was able to obtain Vortex .
[You have learned ‘Tempest: Vortex’ Level 1 (Maximum Level 5)]
[Tempest: Vortex is extremely compatible with Lord Kang Chul-In . ]
[+30% Mastery]
[Tempest: Vortex has been increased to Level 3]
[When you reach Level 5, you will be able to use ‘Mega Vortex’ . ]

Arshelly was having a wonderful experience every day in Seoul, South Korea .
Although she was unable to enter elementary school because she still didn’t have some common knowledge, she was able to quickly absorb the things she looked at and studied .
Arshelly was smart, sensible, and most of all, could learn 100 when she was only taught 1 . If geniuses in this world existed, Arshelly would definitely be considered as one .
But just as most geniuses have problems within their lives, Arshelly did too . Recently, she had gotten bullied in the Piano Academy she went to .
The reason… was because she was too talented .
“S-She… She must be a genius!”
Even the piano teacher who had attended the famous ‘Berklee School of Music’ thought that she was a genius .
It had to be so .
Who wouldn’t be surprised if a 9-year-old girl that had only been learning piano for a week memorized not only all of the musical scores in the academy, but also all the notes on the piano?
That wasn’t even it .
She had a perfect pitch which allowed her to copy any song perfectly after listening to it once, confusing everyone on how such a genius came to be .
“Hey!”
One day, when the piano teacher had left for just a while, a girl called Park Seul-Gi suddenly shouted at Arshelly .
“How can I help you?”
Arshelly answered politely .
“You… you don’t have a dad, right?”
But Park Seul-Gi laughed .
“No . ”
Arshelly continued to respond calmly .
“I also have a wonderful dad . It’s just that he’s busy and can’t come to pick me up right now . ”
“Stop lying!”
“I’m not lying…”
“Ha! Be quiet . You don’t even have a dad . You liar . ”
“Hmm… you can think of it in that way if you want . Do as you like . ”
Arshelly spoke one last time to Park Seul-Gi, and put her fingers back on the piano .
“HEY!!”
Because Arshelly ignored her, Park Seul-Gi screamed in rage . She then . . .
“You little…”
Started grabbing onto Arshelly’s pitch-black hair…
“How dare you ignore me!”
“Oww…”
And started pulling .
