The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 55

Chapter 55 . SS rank Mage, Nilus Lhotsechart!

In front of Kang Chul-in’s was an explanation of the SS rank unit, Nilus .

-Name: Nilus Lhoteschart

-Title: The Ark Mage (yes it literally says ark mage in the o . g, not arch mage)

-Age: 12 years old

-Rank: C rank (Potential SS rank)

-Job: Magician, War mage

-Specialty: Magic Barrage

Detailed Info: Grand Mage of the Royal family of the Great Ancient Empire

Is proficient with all types of magic, but is most suited for wide-area spells that barrage the enemy with magic .

As he gets older, his potential awakens, allowing him to become stronger .

‘What kind of bullsh*t is this…!’

Kang Chul-in couldn’t believe the situation right now .

Although currently a C rank, he had earned a unit with the potential of an SS rank! And not only that, it was a named unit!

…This was more ridiculous than when he met the person he assumed to be Kwak-jung coincidentally in Park Doo-sik’s office . Not only that, he should have bad luck according to Dorian, because of his status as the biggest villain in Pangaea .

“Your majesty…”

The ark mage Nilus walked before Kang Chul-in and kneeled .

‘Majesty? Am I an emperor now?’

Though Kang Chul-in was used to people calling him ‘milord’, he wasn’t used to being called ‘your majesty’ . This was even after he had become an Overlord .

According to Akan, the right-hand man of god, you needed to become the sole ruler of Pangaea and become emperor, in order to be called ‘your majesty’ .

But this SS rank unit was calling Kang Chul-in your majesty . It was as if they had known each other before .

“Again… To meet you again… This servant is so happy, the tears are blocking my sight…”

Nilus spoke as if he weren’t a twelve year old . And he started crying tears of joy too .

“Your majesty… The leader of this old man forever! The only emperor in all of this continent!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although he definitely got an SS rank, it seemed like the one Kang Chul-in had received was a bit odd .

Although he looked like a smart boy, he talked like an old man . Not only that, talking to Kang Chul-in as if they knew each other . Although he had the potential of an SS rank, it was odd .

“Something’s weird…”

“That’s also what I think . ”

“Mr . Chul-in, are you actually an emperor?”

“As if . ” Although he had been an Overlord, he had not been emperor .

“Nilus, was it?” Kang Chul-in spoke .

“I am no emperor . ”

“No!” Nilus spoke back loudly and denied it .

“No matter what you say, your majesty is the one and only Emperor of Blood and Iron!”

“Stop saying that nonsense . ”

“I am not speaking nonsense! Although you might no recognize me after reincarnating, this old man recognizes you perfectly well . Not only that, even your majesty’s face is exactly the same, how could I ever forget you?”

“…Is he a broken good or something?”

Kang Chul-in thought that the mighty SS rank Nilus was junk . After all, he had been told that he was an emperor who had reincarnated, as well as some other nonsense .

“I don’t want to hear it . Stop calling me your majesty . ”

“Not being able to call your majesty your majesty (not a mistake)… Then what does your majesty wish this one to call you?”

“My name is Kang Chul-in . Just call me as ‘milord’ . ”

“Huu…”

“How can a great man like you use such an insignificant title like lord?”

“I’m saying this for the second time now . I am no emperor . ”

“Your majesty definitely is . The 27th emperor of the Ancient Empire, ‘The Emperor of Blood and Iron’, Emperor Ulius Berlinetta Pawn Aurangjeb .

“Uli… what?”

“Ulius, Emperor Ulius Berlinetta Pawn Aurangjeb!”

“…I have no idea what you’re saying . ”

“I can understand that you’re confused, your majesty . It’s obvious that you don’t have the memories of your past life after you reincarnated . ”

‘Reincarnation? Pft . ’

Although he could believe that he had gone back in time using the Soul Backup, he truly couldn’t believe in reincarnation .

He thought that life was only precious if you lived once, not tens, or hundreds of times . He believed that if he went through the process of life and death over and over, there was no point in life .

“I don’t believe you . And I don’t want to listen to your story . So don’t say anything about being reincarnated . ”

“Yes, your majesty . ”

“Also, stop calling me that . ”

“Although this servant can carry out any kind of order or mission, that is the only exception . I cannot stop calling you your majesty . ”

Kang Chul-in shook his head and looked away from Nilus . He thought he would have to listen to another weird story if he kept on talking with him .

‘It doesn’t matter to me’ .

It happened sometimes .

If it was a named unit and not a normal one, there was a chance that they had memories of their past . It was before they had fallen asleep, and when the Pangaea continent was still bustling and prospering .

He somewhat understood it .

-Nearly 97% of Pangaea’s items and relics are from thousands of years ago . Although it was impossible to know what occurred back then, humans and civilization was wiped out from the world a thousand years ago, and it had turned into the ownerless Pangaea that it was now .

Although this honestly didn’t make sense, almost nothing did . After all, the great summoning from the first place didn’t make sense .

Kang Chul-in and the other dimension travelers just knew that there was a big event a thousand years ago in the continent . The truth was known to only god, and his right-hand man, Akan .

‘It seems like his emperor looks similar to me then . ’

That was what Kang Chul-in figured out .

After sleeping for a long time, there was a chance of mistaking someone else for another . Especially as an SS rank unit, it wasn’t really unusual that he had some ‘special’ behavior after reawakening .

“Your majesty . ”

Nilus wiped his tears and looked at Kang Chul-in with his red, bloodshot eyes .

“Being able to serve your majesty is an honor, a great honor!” Said Nilus, and kneeled down towards Kang Chul-in .

“Huu…” Kang Chul-in let out a deep breath as if he was tired .

“Mr . Chul-in…?” Lee Chae-rin spoke .

“I think this boy knows about the past of Pangaea?”

“No, he doesn’t . ”

“Huh?”

“If you ask what happened and why he was sealed and asleep for so long, he wouldn’t know . That is the answer for every unit, no matter who their facing . ”

“Is that so…”

“It’s better if you don’t know about the pasts of your units . ”

“Anyway… it seems like you have very good luck, Mr . Chul-in . ”

“Good… luck?” Listening to the words of Lee Chae-rin, Kang Chul-in face turned into a startled expression .

“Of course . Didn’t you say that the Random Unit selection is absolutely rigged?

“Well yes, I did . ”

“But you obtained an SS rank unit on your first try, so your luck must be very good . ”

“Is that so?”

“Of course . I predictions were right . ”

“……?”

“Kind people have good luck . Because Mr . Chul-in helped me in taking back authority, isn’t a sign of karma?”

That was true .

In Kang Chul-in’s mind, the memory of Dorian talking surfaced .

‘Santa Claus doesn’t give bad children presents . Picking an S rank unit is impossible, unless you’re kind like me . ’

But Dorian’s argument that his luck was bad because he was a villain was proven to be wrong .

Lucky was an S rank seeker unit, while Nilus was an SS rank . In the end, Kang Chul-in had won .

Although the argument that Dorian made on how the random unit selection could be beneficial was also proven to be true .

“Congratulations, Mr . Chul-in!”

Lee Chae-rin congratulated him from the depths of her heart . Even though it wasn’t her who had picked the SS rank unit with 500 coins, she was truly happy for Kang Chul-in .

“… Then thank you . ”

Since his territory had no gone from having no magician to getting an SS rank one, he was truly lucky .

Especially when Nilus reached his full potential and finally became SS rank, it would truly be a sight to see .

“Nilus . ”

“Yes, you called, your majesty . ”

“Although it may be temporary, I name you the magician of our Laputa territory . ”

“It’s an honor, sir . This, Nilus, will truly use his full potential and use in order to help your majesty in his conquest . ”

“Conquest?”

“Yes . After all, your majesty is the reincarnation of my emperor, the former owner of this continent . Since you’ve reincarnated, the continent should rightfully belong to you . ”

Somehow, they fit together . It seemed like the past emperor he served was like Kang Chul-in, and strived to unite and conquer the continent .

“Good . ”

Although he didn’t like being called your majesty, he agreed when Nilus had said they would rule the continent . After all, his final goal was to boss over all of the Overlords, and take total control over the whole of pangaea .

“We’re finished here today then . Go rest . ” Kang Chul-in persuaded her to rest .

“No . ” Kang Chul-in knew how tiring today was to her .

“But…”

“Do you plan on letting the civilians see the best of you, or you when you’re tired, and about to fall asleep?”

“T-that is…”

“Fine then . ” She finally nodded her head .

After Kang Chul-in said goodbye to Lee Chae-rin, he helped Urad and the others get rid of the traitors .

‘We finished quickly’ .

After taking care of the final dwarf, Kang Chul-in stared at the rising sun and sighed .

“Take the ones that truly deserve to be killed, and hang their heads up on the walls tomorrow . As for the rest, put them in the dungeon . I will bring them back to Laputa . ”

Kang Chul-in hurriedly accepted forty dwarf laborers .

“We didn’t know what to do with them anyway, but thankfully that’s solved now . ”

‘Ark Mage Nilus and forty dwarf laborers . To think that I would earn so many unexpected benefits…’

As Kang Chul-in earned two unexpected profits, he was very satisfied . Who knew, maybe Lee Chae-rin was his lucky charm .

‘Is it going to be war now?’

‘We’ll solve it quickly again though’ . Kang Chul-in was very confident .

Why? Because he was planning on using the Magic Satellites against the enemy during this war!
