BXBX NOVEL Chapter 91
Editor: Arya
Chapter 91 . Franz, swearing revenge .
“M-M-Monster…”
‘I… I picked the wrong person to mess with…’
Looking at Kang Chul-In, who had just shattered a boulder with his bare hands, Franz realized that he had messed with the wrong person here .
And as he thought that…
“Milord! Quick! Get back inside the hall!”
Schneider, the leader of the Mecha Knights in the dome, spoke .
“Quickly, sire! Come inside!”
And helping Franz over, the Mecha Knights and Franz went past the dome’s sturdy, iron gates .
BANG!
And after Franz, and the Atlases came back in, the gates started closing, and the Mecha Dome started disappearing, going back underground .
“Hmm… a magical fortress that is good for magic engineering and guerilla warfare, huh . Interesting . ”
Franz had made a mistake .
The Atlases were the only saving grace of the Mecha Dome, as they were limited with the small amount of people and resources that they had .
And using the Atlases to fight against Kang Chul-In? That was a crucial mistake .
‘I will kill you, and take away all of your magical engineers . ’
Whether it was an Pangaea or Earth, good technology and science was a must . And the Lords that possessed the skilled magical engineers were the ones that could build and/or upgrade artillery that helped immensely during war .
“Let’s head back to our territory . ”
Kang Chul-In turned his back, after staring at the now-underground Mecha Dome for a long while .
“We’ll go back to the Burrow Lands, and prepare special forces that can deal with those stupid Atlases that they posess . ”
There were many ways to fight against or around an Atlas, even without going for the joints .
“Yes, milord . ”
Lucia followed behind Kang Chul-In .
“Umm… Can I ask you just one thing?”
“Of course . ”
“My weapon . ”
Maybe it was Kang Chul-In’s imagination, but he thought Lucia sounded quite depressed .
“…Was it a precious one?”
Kang Chul-In spoke, looking over the horizon .
“Zenith… is a Soul Weapon . Along with Aegis over here, it grows with me as I get stronger . ”
Kang Chul-In had borrowed a sword because he didn’t want to throw away Kaiforce, but it seemed like that sword held significant importance to Lucia .
“Cough, cough . ”
Kang Chul-In could do nothing but cough in embarrassment .
“Of course, I completely believe in milord’s words . I also believe that milord will be able to take that stupid, cheeky Lord’s head within a month . But… the only worry that I have is whether or not that Lord will throw away Zenith into a furnace and melt it, or break it . ”
Listening to Lucia’s voice that was full of worry, Kang Chul-In felt his conscience being hurt .
“… I’m sorry . I promise that I’ll give it back to you within a month . Of course… if that bastard destroys the sword, I can’t do anything either . I’ll find you a better sword if that happens . ”
“No, sire . It’s okay . But… I have a request . ”
“Request? Speak . ”
“Uhh… Well, the princess…”
“Arshelly?”
“Yes, milord . ”
Lucia spoke without directly looking at Kang Chul-In .
“She has said that she wanted to visit your hometown . ”
“…Did she?”
And Kang Chul-In’s face stiffened in anxiety .
“And… I thought that I too would like it if I had the opportunity to go . This is my request… Will you let me, and the princess go to your hometown?”
It was a request that was hard for him .
“It… It’s not a difficult request, but…”
“For someone of Pangaean birth to go to Earth, they need a rainbow colored ‘Recall Stone’…”
“That’s fine, sire! That useless wom… I mean, the Lord of the Dorado territory has given us some, as compensation for us helping them last time . ”
“Oh, and also . Princess Arshelly has said that she also wants to go to a school, or an academy back in your hometown, sir . ”
School?
‘Dammit . ’
Although Kang Chul-In had nothing that he was jealous of, and was a greatly accomplished man, becoming a parent of Arshelly for when she went to school even though he was still unmarried?
“About that… we’ll decide later . ”
“Then what about visiting…”
“That’s fine . ”
Kang Chul-In said .
There was no reason for him not to bring his secretary, as well as his adopted daughter and show him around Earth .
But allowing her to stay there, and study, was a completely different matter . Kang Chul-In felt that that he would rather fight 10, no, in 100 battlefields if he didn’t need to do that .
“But about her going to school there… Hmm… I’ll need to give it some more thought . ”

Meanwhile, as Lucia and Kang Chul-In were talking about their future plans, the Magic Engineers of the Mecha Dome territory were working hard, repairing the 3 Atlases that had been damaged and broken by Kang Chul-In .
“Dammit… Dammit! That bastard! That rotten bastard!”
Franz stared at the working engineers, and cursed Kang Chul-In .
“Who’s in charge here… Director . ”
The engineers stiffened, as they heard Franz’s angry tone that seemed to make him look like he was growling at them .
“Yes…milord…”
Bashular, the leader of the Engineers, answered, his head down .
“The enemy took down two Atlases before we could even turn on the boosters . Do you know what this means?”
“N-No, sir . ”
“He found the weakness of the Atlases, and stabbed a ‘claw-like’ thing inside, making it explode . Bashular . I want to take revenge on him . Is there any method? To protect the Atlases from being exploded like that again, and to beat that man?”
Saying this, Franz’s eyes were filled with madness . It was an obsession for him to beat Kang Chul-In .
“Well… the best, surefire way to do that… is to cover up the joints with not just steel, but with a harder, more durable substance . ”
“Well, do that, then . ”
Franz commanded .
“But… if we want to do that, the cost won’t be small . If the opponent is skilled enough to take down an Atlas with their bare body, then it won’t be cheap to find a metal that can stand up against him . ”
“Still, do it . ”
Franz didn’t care . All he cared about was his revenge against Kang Chul-In .
Although it was a completely inefficient and foolish choice, Franz didn’t care .
“It doesn’t matter how much resources are used to fund this project . Use up all of the funds in the territory to fund this project, and for the two remaining Magic Gems…”
Franz laughed maniacally .
“… Put them into one Atlas! HAHA!”
He was prepared to make a secret weapon that could defeat Kang Chul-In .
