Chapter 34 The Overlord of Blood and Iron Ch 34 | Next Chapter
Chapter 34 . Level Up, Again and Again
“You’re Overlord, right?”
Spoke a man that looked like a bum .
“Nice to meet you . You, your skills aren’t too bad?”
Then, he proceeded to walk towards Kang Chul-In to shake his hands .
“I’m known as ‘Lumpen’ in the World Comm“Can I ask you something?”
“If it’s something that I can answer . ”
“Why are you not telling the adventurers the final goal? Although the others aren’t saying anything, because they’re unsure, their goal isn’t to simply level up, right?”
“It’s a problem of confidence . ”
“Confidence?”
“Although the Peacock dragon is the weakest of the dragon species, it is a level 40 monster in name . If I was to tell them that we were going to fight against an uncouth monster like that, do you think they would follow me?”
“Mm?”
Dorian made a stupid expression .
“They would have run away, or would have said that they would not do it . ”
“Ey, what do you mean run away? I’m sure they have definitely agreed, since we’ll be fighting against a dragon type . ”
“You idiot . ”
“……?”
“You think everyone is like you? The adventurers’ goals are money and items, not to die from fighting a high-level monster . ”
“I, is that so?”
Dorian could understand Kang Chul-In’s words .
No matter what it was, there was a big difference between having confidence, and not .
“By tomorrow, you and I should be level 20, while the adventurers will be level 15 . ”
Kang Chul-In spoke .
He was planning on fighting against the Peacock dragon once he hit level 25, and the adventurers level 20 .
“I think we can slowly enter into special training . ”
“Special training? What special training? Did you by chance think up a strategy specifically to fight against the Peacock dragon?”
“How admirable . To think that you would be able to think that far . ”
“… . . Hey, I’m not stupid . ”
“Of course you are . ”
… . as Kang Chul-In responded like so, he thought to himself .
‘If you’re not stupid, then who is?’
It was quite pleasant to be messing around with Dorian .
At that moment .
Dorian spoke as if he was doubtful of something .
“Wait, something’s weird?”
“What’s weird?”
“You… . what’s your purpose?”
“… . . ?”
“Something’s weird . How do you know how to fight every monster that we come across? How do you know the existence of the Peacock dragon and how to fight against it? Are the items that you distributed also part of the strategy to specifically fight against the Peacock dragon?”
“…… . !”
For a moment, Kang Chul-In was very surprised with Dorian . He did not know how sharp Dorian was, because he had only seen Dorian as an easy fish, someone who could easily be played around with .
“It really is suspicious . It’s only been a month since the Grand Summoning, yet you know too much . Are you by chance…… . . ”
With eyes full of suspicion, Dorian stared at Kang Chul-In .
‘When did this bastard get this smart? He usually would skip through it as if it was nothing . ”
As Kang Chul-In was at a loss, Dorian took the initiative .
“Did you practice earlier? You wanted to get stronger quicker, and wanted to fight against high-leveled monsters?”
“……!”
Kang Chul-In was super nervous, but as expected, Dorian guessed wrong .
“You asked your confidants, and if there was something they didn’t know, you researched the information on World . What do you say, am I right?”
Kang Chul-In thought ‘You stupid idiot, that’s why you always get played with in the palm of my hands . ’, as he agreed enthusiastically .
“… . . I’ve been caught . ”
“As I thought . ”
Dorian was elated as he perked his shoulders up . Idiots were idiots and were happy because of it .
“Well, either way . We just need to gain the skills needed to fight against the Peacock dragon . Or, fight against monsters that have similar characteristics as the Peacock dragon . ”
Dorian used his innate monster hunting skills to grasp Kang Chul-In’s intentions .
“That’s what I’m planning . ”
Kang Chul-In had already planned a curriculum of monsters that he wanted to kill . Slowly, there was a list of monsters in Kang Chul-In’s head that he wanted to hunt within the next week .
‘From this point on, we need to fight against big monsters . ’
In order to fight against the Peacock dragon, the 40+ adventurers needed a big monster that could take on everyone’s attacks at once . A big monster that was at least around level 30 .
What Kang Chul-In didn’t know was that, this opportunity would come a lot faster than he thought .
