Chapter 135  

Chapter 135   . The Thousand-Year PromiseBang!

The table in front of them shattered into pieces .

“Krrrrr!”

A terrifying, piercing gaze shot out of the beast’s eyes .

“That stupid Ninetails dares to hire a mercenary?”

Alaric was truly furious .

He had gone out to set up an alliance, but while he was gone his troops had died? As the leader of the werewolf tribe within Kalevala, it made sense that Alaric raged .

“Kuku, it happens . ”

The man sitting in front Alaric, a man emanating the aura of death, spoke .

“That fox-woman is just doing all she can in order to live . Didn’t you say that she was already struggling with your troops?”

“Even still!!”

Alaric shouted .

“My base is in shambles right now! And my people!”

“When you live, you experience all sorts of things, kukuku . Calm down . ”

As the man that was his supposed ‘ally’ laughed, Alaric nearly burst out in rage .

This psychopathic bastard . How dare he laugh at me?

Alaric thought that the person sitting in front of him was an absolute psychopath .

Of course, he wasn’t wrong .

The man in front of him wasn’t a pedophile, nor was he into zoophilia [1] . It was just that he enjoyed looking at cursed corpses and felt lust towards them .

Necrophilia!

The man that sat in front of the werewolf was none other than the Overlord Aleister, the traitorous bastard that Kang Chul-In despised so much .

The stench . This guy smells of rotting flesh, but not just a normal dead one . It smells like a cursed body that isn’t dead but isn’t alive either .

Even though Alaric himself was also a cursed creature, he still hated the man in front of him nonetheless .

Half-human, half corpse .

Aleister was half-human yet also half-undead, being the cursed being that was known as a Half-Lich .

For a sensitive beast like Alaric, he was an extremely unpleasant being .

Hu… I can’t do anything about it right now .

“Even though I don’t know how strong the man is, I’ll take care of him for you! Huhu…”

Aleister promised .

“No, he’s mine . ”

But Alaric didn’t listen .

“Since he was the one that put Kalevala into such a mess, shouldn’t I be the one taking care of him?”

“That’s true and all, but you still have to concede this one to me . ”

“Huh?”

“Without my undead army, how are you planning to take over Fox Valley? Even though your tribe is admittedly powerful, you cannot beat them alone . ”

Aleister said, laughing .

“Are you… threatening me?”

Alaric responded slowly .

“If you don’t agree to this, our alliance is over . ”“ . . . . . !”

“I want him . How good would it be if I can get such a powerful soldier as him to join my undead army? Huhuhu!”

Aleister was actually planning on turning Kang Chul-In into an undead .

“And not only that, but I also need a practice run with my new toys . ”

“New toys?”

“Huhu, I’ve finally succeeded in making 50 death knights! With them, I’ll be able to defeat him no matter how strong he is!”

“D-Death knights? And 50 of them?”

Alaric was astonished .

There were countless stories about how fearsome Death Knights were .

“Huhu, if you just hand over the bodies of that masked man and the Ninetails… Fox Valley will be yours!”

Once again, Aleister laughed creepily .

“Huu… There’s no choice then . I agree to your terms . ”

Trying to calm his rising anger, Alaric quickly agreed to Aleister’s proposal .

What Alaric wanted was Fox Valley, and what Aleister wanted was the bodies of the Ninetails, and her people . There was no need for them to fight when they had such clear differences .

------

She had been waiting?

For a thousand years?

That didn’t make any sense .

What the Ninetails said seemed more like a lie than anything .

“What are you saying?”

Kang Chul-In’s voice turned frosty .

“A thousand years? You and I are people that haven’t met for even a minute . And… Husband? On what basis am I your husband?”

He didn’t feel good since he had run away from his marriage and now he was her husband? It made Kang Chul-In feel extremely uncomfortable .

“Dear husband, didn’t you promise?”

But the Ninetails ignored Kang Chul-In . Though Kang Chul-In tried to deny what the system told him, he knew that it wasn’t as simple as tricking himself .

From his experience, the system had never lied .

Even though there were times where it spoke in a somewhat vague fashion, it never delivered incorrect information . Everything that came from the system was based on facts .

I’m the reincarnation of that stupid Emperor?

For the first time since he was born, Kang Chul-In was starting to have an identity cris-- .

“I am Kang Chul-In . ”

Or not .

“Reincarnation? Yeah, let’s say that that’s true . But, I don’t have any memories of that past life . ”

Kang Chul-In wasn’t shaken at all, and he felt that his identity grew even clearer than before .

“I am the Overlord, the Lord Hunter, Kang Chul-In . ”

“Dear husband . ”

The Ninetails opened her mouth once again .

“If dear husband doesn’t trust what even the bell says…”

“Of course I don’t believe it . That’s not my promise . Why do I have to keep a promise that a stupid emperor had made a thousand years ago? I’m not obliged to do so, nor am I willing to . ”

Kang Chul-In cut off her words .

“Dear husband…”

Though the Ninetails looked at Kang Chul-In with her melancholic eyes, Kang Chul-In’s gaze had already turned frosty . The astonished and surprised gaze he had earlier was long gone .

“I’ll speak once again . Don’t try to get the promise of that stupid emperor from me . I don’t care . ”

Kang Chul-In was unshakable .

In fact, he felt somewhat upset .

“Can’t you just consider the fact that you aren’t keeping the promise?”

The Ninetails didn’t give up .

“Dear husband~ . ”

The Ninetails stepped closer to Kang Chul-In, with her charming voice . Her nine tails that were previously still started to sway slightly .

“What are you doing, all of a sudden?”

Kang Chul-In took a step backwards .

“I think dear husband is forgetting something~ . ”

“What is it?”

“Dear husband, there’s no need to think of your previous life as the emperor . ”

“I don't remember it . ”

“Then, there is no reason to try and remember it . ”

The Ninetails said .

“As you said, there’s no reason for you to keep the promise of the Emperor from a thousand years ago . After all, you're an Overlord . ”

“That’s right . ”

“Then you don’t need to consider it as keeping the promise . ”

“Then what do you want me to think of it as?”

“Is it not possible for you to take care of this poor Ninetails that is cursed, and is unable to marry for eternity?”

At this moment, the Ninetails was barely 2 meters away from Kang Chul-In .

What the Ninetails said was simple .

As she had said, it didn’t matter whether or not Kang Chul-In was the Emperor of Blood and Iron . The important thing was that the bell had rung for him, and this was the only chance for the Ninetails to marry .

Dear husband, I won’t miss this opportunity!

The Ninetails vowed to herself, clenching her fists .

“Dear husband…”

“Stop calling me that . I’m not your husband . ”

Though Kang Chul-In shielded himself from her advancements---

“Dear husband . ”

The Ninetails ignored him, and slowly walked towards Kang Chul-In, while Kang Chul-In turned to another direction to avoid her .

And while she was doing so .

Tuk .

She fell over a small rock that was on the floor .

“Ah!”

'Coincidentally,' where she was falling was the area that Kang Chul-In was also walking .

“ . . . . . . !”

And because of that, Kang Chul-In had to involuntarily catch the Ninetails, which ended up with them hugging .

“Hng… Dear husband…”

The voice of the Ninetails in his arms tickled Kang Chul-In’s ears .

Dugeun!

Kang Chul-In’s shallow heartbeat started to quicken all of a sudden .

“Am I… Am I not pretty?”

The Ninetails slowly licked Kang Chul-In’s earlobes .

And Kang Chul-In felt something from his lower section going stiff .

I-I’m being shaken?

Kang Chul-In found it difficult to believe this situation .

He was confident that he wouldn’t fall to even the strongest succubus' charms . He was incredibly confident in his ability to control his desires .

But the Ninetails was different .

The warm embrace of a woman, a touch that seemed like it could melt someone; large, perky breasts that he could feel touching his chest, an incredibly fragrant scent; a soft, alluring voice, and the sexy characteristics of a fox-human were all combined . This effortlessly made Kang Chul-In unable to resist the Ninetail’s charm .

“Dear husband…”

The Ninetails looked at Kang Chul-In with a soft gaze, while matching his lips with hers .

[1] The attraction to non-human animals .
