Chapter 110 . Reunion (1)
“Me? I am a ‘true’ vampire! Not one of those dirty half-bloods you can see just about anywhere . ”
The blonde-haired man opened his mouth .
True Vampire .
These were beings superior to normal vampires and were also known to be contenders for being a ‘Vampire Lord’, the kings of all vampires . Basically, they were the nobles of the Vampire race .
“Thaddeus, Alfred Northrod de Thaddeus . That’s me . ”
As soon as Kang Chul-In heard the name of the vampire, his expression turned extremely ominous .
Alfred?
This young, blonde-haired man standing in front of him was his old secretary?
‘How can this be…’
He couldn’t believe it .
No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t get himself to believe that this blonde-haired man in front of him was Alfred .
Though Alfred in Kang Chul-In’s memory also had blonde hair, he wasn’t as young as this .
Kang Chul-In tried his best to remember how Alfred looked like in his memories and compared his image to the Alfred standing in front of him .
It wasn’t easy .
They were polar opposites; one a handsome young man, while the other an old man who just liked to speak to him as if he were Kang Chul-In’s own mother, always talking to him about marriage .
It was a stereotype that only Kang Chul-In possessed .
To him, Alfred was an old man . Whether it be 10 years ago, 50 years ago, 100 years ago, or 1000 years ago . Even when Alfred was born .
Kang Chul-In had never thought about Alfred’s appearance when he was younger .
‘Is this . . . really Alfred?”
Kang Chul-In looked carefully at Alfred’s face .
‘Eyes… nose… they’re all similar . ’
As for his hair . . . he was always blonde, so he didn’t need to look at that .
‘And his mouth…’
The distinguishing thing about Alfred’s appearance was his noble-looking mouth .
‘It’s the same . ’
Though it was difficult to believe due to him having such a different appearance than the one from before, it was undeniable that he could see traces of Alfred within the face before him .
‘Alfred… Alfred . The Valhalla Territory, no, the people inside the Valhalla Dungeon are not sane . Lucy, Bellatrix, and even the Immortal Vanguard . That means…’
“Alfred . ”
Kang Chul-In called out to his old Secretary, with a wisp of a smile on his face .
“It’s been a long time . ”
Though it had been a long time and his appearance was not the same, Alfred was still Alfred . It had to be a pleasant surprise for Kang Chul-In .
So instead of fighting, he asked another question .
“Do you remember me, Alfred?”
Kang Chul-In asked, with a sliver of hope remaining inside of him .
“Kuk…”
But Alfred laughed .
“Kuku… Remember you…? Do I remember you…? Kukuku…”
“A true vampire that had risen to the status of a Lord Candidate… Would he remember you? A puny human? Ha!”
His words were full of insanity and bloodlust, and it didn’t seem that he remembered Kang Chul-In at all .
But Kang Chul-In wasn’t flustered .
“Is that it…? Even you cannot remember me and have to fight, Alfred?”
“Kuku… A lowly human like you… you’re going to speak to me like that? Kuku… HOW DARE YOU!”
Kang Chul-In and Alfred, the two who once had the relationship of servant and master, faced each other and growled .
After that…
CLANG-!
-----
Not even 5 minutes into the fight .
“Kang Chul-In… is being pushed back?”
Dorian was astonished .
It was surprising to Dorian because to him, Kang Chul-In was meant to be invincible . He had never been pushed back so hard in a fight before .
However, at this very moment, Kang Chul-In was fighting an extremely dangerous battle against a True Vampire .
Whiiing!
Puk…
Charged with the spell Vortex, Kaiforce pierced through the heart of Alfred .
A few moments afterwards, Alfred’s stomach was completely blown away from the aftershock of the Vortex . However…
“Puny and useless tricks . ”
Though his heart was punctured, Alfred laughed maniacally and dashed towards Kang Chul-In .
“As if they would work on me!”
Saying that, Alfred grabbed Kang Chul-In’s collar, and slammed him into the ground . The wound that he had from before had already healed .
“Kang Chul-In!”
Though Dorian was running towards Kang Chul-In in worry…
“Don’t intervene!”
“Don’t come any closer . ”
He was stopped by Kang Chul-In’s shout, as well as Alfred’s words .
“How dare you . ”
The young Alfred stared at Dorian with bloodshot eyes .
“A stupid idiot like you dares to interrupt this noble one’s enjoyment?”
“S-Stupid?”
“Does such a thing like you not have eyes?”
Laughing, Alfred started swearing and dissing Dorian .
“Small height, no dignity in your behavior, and a stupid way of talking--- and not only that! I can sense that you don’t belong anywhere, so you just travel around . A lonely wanderer . ”
Considering that Dorian’s height was 173cm while Alfred was almost 190cm, it made sense that Alfred would call Dorian ‘short’ .
“You disrespectful vampire!”
An angry Dorian rushed towards Alfred even with Kang Chul-In telling Dorian not to do so .
Kuk!
Controlled by the telekinetic powers of Alfred, Dorian stopped midway in his attack, and had to slowly watch as Alfred walked closer, and grabbed his throat with an iron grip .
“Kuk . . ”
“Did you really think that you could do anything to me, pitiful human?”
“K-Kuk…”
Though Dorian tried his best to struggle and put up a fight, Alfred’s choke was just as powerful as Kang Chul-In’s grip, if not stronger .
“You do understand what will happen if I just put a little bit more strength here, right?”
Laughing, Alfred looked at Dorian with his bloodshot eyes .
“Now, it’s time for you to die . Pitiful tra…”
Before he could finish . . .
BANG!
Vortex around it, Kaiforce flew towards Alfred’s head, before completely blowing it up .
“I don’t know if it’s because he’s a true vampire, but that healing factor of his is just ridiculous . ”
“Stay back now . ”
Kang Chul-In looked at Dorian, his face serious .
“But, you’re being pushed back . ”
“With your current level of strength, you won’t be of help to me in this fight . ”
“But…!”
“I’m warning you right now . Don’t . Join . The . Fight . ”
Kang Chul-In emphasized each word .
The opponent was Alfred .
And to Kang Chul-In, the one who had to put rest to his old secretary was none other than him . It was his way of apologizing to his old comrade .
“Seeing as how he doesn’t like you, that’s definitely the Alfred I know . ”
Though he was in a pitiful state, Kang Chul-In still laughed . It was because he once again witnessed Alfred disliking Dorian .
“As a human, you’re not bad . Not bad, but…”
Alfred, who had already healed up from the previous attack, looked at Kang Chul-In again .
“How dare you look down on me, a true vampire? Do you wish to die?”
“Of course I look down on my servants . Should I look up to them instead?”
Laughing, Kang Chul-In once again retorted .
“Servant? Kuku… You’re just a guy who doesn’t know his place . For you, I’ll be especially violent in tearing up your body into pieces and devouring you . ”
Though it was a terrifying threat, it didn’t have an effect on Kang Chul-In .
“You’re welcome anytime . ”
To Kang Chul-In, it didn’t matter what happened to him after death . He wasn’t one to really care about those things .
“But first, it’s time for you to get punished for speaking like that to your Lord . ”
Though his body was severely injured, Kang Chul-In walked forward as if the fight was just beginning .
Of course there was no way that Kang Chul-In, who had laughed at Alex Rothschild and the Lord alliance as he died, would be afraid of a situation like this .
Maybe I’ll have a chance if I use ‘that'…
It was at that moment .
-Do you want my strength?
Vibrating, Kaiforce talked to Kang Chul-In with sweet temptation .
