It was almost sad to watch Kaiforce’s struggles to get back to his sword form.

“Kuk… Ugh… Sob…”

Even while moaning in pain from the mana poured inside his brain by Kang Chul-In, Kaiforce continued to crawl towards his sword.

“Ugh… Kuk…”

Snot and tears falling down, Kaiforce tried his best to reach the sword.

Of course, Kang Chul-In didn’t just watch.

Tuk!

Kang Chul-In kicked the sword away slightly.

“...!”

Looking at this, Kaiforce’s eyeballs seemed to bulge out from rage.

“Try a little harder.”

“...”

“What’re you doing? If you want to live, you better continue crawling.”

Kang Chul-In’s voice once again tickled Kaiforce’s eardrums.

“Kuk…”

Kaiforce gritted his teeth.

Even though he wanted to curse, the pain didn’t allow him to speak any proper words. The only thing that he could do was continue to crawl towards the sword.

“Ugh...”

“So, how do you feel?”

“Sob… sob… Aghhhhh!!!”

At that moment, a terrifying scream erupted from Kaiforce.

“P-Please… just once…”

“Once? Once what?”

“Please save… agh!!”

“Hmm…”

“I-I’m sor… I-I… agh… will swear… my allegiance…”

“Oh?”

“Y-Yes… S-So… please…”

“Hmm…”

After thinking for a while,

“Is that so?”

“Yes!!”

“Really?”

“O-Of course!! A-Agh… P-Please…”

“Fine.”

“R-Really?”

“I thought you were going to swear your allegiance.”

“Y-Yes, sir!”

“Fine then, go get your sword.”

“T-Thank you, sir!!”

After showing his thanks to Kang Chul-In, Kaiforce once again began to crawl towards the sword.

2 metres, 1 metre...

“H-Huk…”

Just as Kaiforce’s fingers were about to reach the sword, the sword went flying.

“...!”

Kaiforce’s face stiffened.

“Ah, oops.”

Kang Chul-In said mockingly.

“I accidentally moved my foot.”

“...”

“Sorry. Try harder.”

“Y-Yes…”

Even though Kang Chul-In was obviously teasing and mocking him, there was nothing Kaiforce could do.

He knew that if he got angry here, it would get even worse.

“A-As you wish…”

Kaiforce began to crawl once more.

Forget the pride of an ancient demon and whatnot, he would lick Kang Chul-In’s feet if he could live.

That was how terrifying the pain he was feeling was.

“Uu…. Please… Please…”

With a heart-wrenching scream, Kaiforce once again stretched his arm out towards his sword.

10 centimetres, that was how far he was from the sword. If he touched it, he would be able to escape from this terrible pain.

But… Kang Chul-In wasn’t finished just there.

Tuk.

“...!”

Kaiforce had to once again experience the sword being kicked away from him, just as he was about to touch it.

But that was just the start.

Tuk,

Tuk tuk,

Tuk tuk tuk!

Kang Chul-In continued to mock and tease Kaiforce several times after that, and the ancient demon had no choice but to grit his teeth.

“Ah, so close.”

The 11th time this had happened, Kang Chul-In spoke while laughing evilly.

“Try a little hard…”

“Y-You…”

“...?”

“You bastard!!!”

And finally, Kaiforce exploded, unable to remain calm anymore.

“You fucker!! You god-damned bastard!”

“Oh?”

“Kuk...”

“You can still withstand the pain?”

“Y-You terrible person… you fucker… Kuhuk… Ugh…”

Even while crying and sobbing, Kaiforce continued to curse.

“To think you’d curse at me… I’m hurt.”

“...!”

“That was the last test…”

“...!’

“W-Wait…!”

“As expected, what you said about swearing your allegiance to me was just a lie, wasn’t it?”

At Kang Chul-In’s shamelessness, Kaiforce almost wanted to bite his tongue and suicide.

To say that it was a test, after doing this 11 times...

He hadn’t ever met someone like this before.

“P-Please… forgive me… one more… opportunity.”

“What, did you honestly think that I would be tricked by your words?”

At that moment, Kaiforce realized the truth.

Kang Chul-In had no intention of keeping him alive from the very beginning.

He was just planning on continuing to mock him in order to make him feel more pain.

“You… damned!!! Aghhh!!”

“It feels good hearing you scream.”

“You… will regret this… when the great Agnaga wake up…”

“...?”

“Destruction… Huhu… Your land will fall… Your citizens will die… And the remaining survivors… will become slaves forever… Huhu…”

Kaiforce spoke.

Even though Kang Chul-In ignored everything he said.

“Kuk… Hahahahha!”

Kaiforce started to laugh maniacally.

“Sob… sob…”

And also began to cry soon after.

It’s finally the end.

Looking at this, Kang Chul-In smirked.

He knew what this meant; acting like this meant that the person’s mental state was about to completely collapse and that he was close to death.

Uuungg!!

As if proving Kang Chul-In’s thoughts correct, demonic qi started to dissipate around Kaiforce’s body and

 his body started to change from the shape of a demon to a human.

-Kuaaaa!

With a final scream, a black-purple current struggled, but disappeared soon after. This signified the riddance of Kaiforce’s ego, and his true death.

-It’s finished, master.

Mitra said.

-Kaiforce… the ancient demon is finally gone.

Is that so.

-Yes, master.

Then, that sword, is it trash now?

-Even though it still is a dangerous demonic sword, it won’t be able to take over the body of a human ever again. And even though Kaiforce has died, it won’t lose its powers since the evil energy is still there. It will become a good sword, albeit a hard one to handle.

That was good news.

Even though Mitra’s effects were amazing, Kaiforce was better in battles where he had to kill.

“M-Mr. Chul-In?”

At that moment, Lee Chae-rin’s voice could be heard.

“Ah?”

Kang Chul-In looked back.

“...?”

But… for some reason, Lee Chae-rin’s expression was quite strange.

Her face was stiff, making one think that she was afraid.

“What is it?”

“Well…”

“...

?”

“Mr. Chul-In, you really…”

“Really?”

“Are a terrifying person.”

“...”

“A human that tortures a demon… I thought Mr. Chul-In was the demon for a moment.”

“...Anyway, can you take the body of that soldier and help me out of the dungeon?’

Kang Chul-In said, pointing at the dead body of Pluto.

“After all, we still have to give his body to his parents.”

“Huh? What do you…”

When Lee Chae-rin was speaking.

“Uhh? Huh?!”

Kang Chul-In suddenly fell into Lee Chae-rin’s arms. It wasn’t something he had planned, but rather something that had happened because he was out of strength.

“M-Mr. Chul-in!!”

Shocked, Lee Chae-rin called out to Kang Chul-In, but Kang Chul-In remained still, asleep due to the aftereffects of Overdrive.

--------

It was a week after that when Kang Chul-In’s eyes finally opened.

“...”

What greeted Kang Chul-In was 3 women.

His mother, Park Sun-Ja.

His daughter, Arshelly.

And Overlord Lee Chae-rin.

All 3 of them had fallen asleep, their heads on the bed.

“Oh, milord!”

Kwak-Jung said in surprise, realizing Kang Chul-In had woken up.

Shh.

Kang Chul-In shook his head.

Kang Chul-In slowly and cautiously got out of the bed. 

Let’s go outside.

Gesturing with his chin, Kang Chul-In went outside, Kwak-Jung following close behind.

“Report.”

“Yes, milord.”

To think Kang Chul-In would ask about work right away... Kwak-Jung was almost sick of Kang Chul-In’s workaholic attitude but still reported what had happened.

“Well, everything is over.”

“And the idiots?”

“They’re all resting in the room next to milord’s.”

“Are they alright?”

“Yes.”

“Then how about Pangaea?’

“I haven’t heard of anything special from Pangaea, but something has happened.”

“What is it?”

“Kim Sung-hee has come back with some shocking information.”

“Information?”

“Apparently Rothschild and Aleister have allied.”

“Those damned bastards?”

“Yes, Rothschild used his brain well this time. So…”

Kwak-Jung began to explain the situation.
