Chapter 68
Not many people knew the story . After the Tyrant and united the Korean Peninsula, people became curious . Why didn't the Tyrant come up earlier?
The fight between the south and north was close . Considering the Tyrant's nature to invade and conquer, it was curious as to why he came up after 50 years .
"He couldn't come up," Giwon said . "It was about 30 years after that he took control of the south . And when he did… he found the unexpected . "
A port .
The Tyrant was overjoyed . With the port in their hands, he did not have to care about a Korean peninsula . The ships were available for him to travel outside to other lands .
"It was an adventure that only the Tyrant could take, I guess . We don't have any information regarding other lands . "
It was 30 years after the world changed . They did not know what was it like outside the world they were in . Yet Ilgyu did not hesitate .
He plainly thought that there was no one stronger than him .
With this in mind, he invaded the vast lands of China . However, when he arrived, he was faced with the impossible . The vast amount of land was ruled by one person .
The Swordmaster .
The monster who would later be known as one of the Phenomenal Nine, overpowered Ilgyu and killed half of his men . That was the first time . Ilgyu barely escaped fearfully… and a few years after-
"He faced the second monster . "
At the coast of Polynesia, he faced the ruler of Australia .
Cactus Bill .
The navy was comprised of weird metal ships that decimated the remaining half of the Tyrant's ships . He had lost too many forces and resources . That's when he changed . He was once cold and ruthless, but he had a clear mind . However, he was now full of damaged pride .
I will kill them all!
I will rape the swordmaster and set Australia on fire!
I am the best!
And when the story was finished, Dohyuk was no longer on Giwon's back . They were at Giwon's private place, in the basement of the old ruins in the city . They were in Giwon's region .
"Coffee? It's not that good, but it's okay . "
Dohyuk couldn't understand .
"…I don't intend on saying I'm the best . "
He heard that he was the best out of the Phenomenal Nine . But the Tyrant was decimated by two of them whereas the Tyrant fought against him as an equal?
"You make it sound like I only won against the Tyrant because he had lost too much against those two . "
"You are right," Giwon answered as he put the water up on a portable stove .
"The people in this region don't really know the Great Emperor . No one called you that even when I was killed . Not even the people by your side called you that . "
The Tyrant didn't consider Dohyuk to be that dangerous either . He just thought Dohyuk had flirted with the Swordmaster to be given the north region .
"And so were the Phenomenal Nine . North America and Europe were mysterious places, and we had just heard about the third monster who reigned in the Middle East . "
"…I see . "
Dohyuk then realized why Giwon decided to follow him . The reason why Dohyuk wasn't viewed highly in this place was simple .
"So I wasn't that strong back then . "
"I don't know . I mean, you were as strong as the Tyrant himself anyway . "
Dohyuk or Tyrant, neither of them were even close to fighting the Swordmaster at the time . But it was different afterwards .
"I… do not know how you became such a figure after that . But what's certain is that you still hold that possibility . That's what I believe in . "
Giwon handed Dohyuk a cup of coffee .
"And how do you feel about my region?"
"Disappointed . "

His region did not have Casita's needle . It was a place that was not controlled by any god .
"Right . I can't even call it a territory . "
Yet, it had its purpose as it shared the border with five different regions .
"The Tyrant appointed me here . He's making me watch out . . . and keep an eye on other regions . "
"And keep them from growing?"
"Right . "
Dohyuk took a sip . It seemed like Giwon was a 'dog' from the beginning .
"Can I ask you something?" Giwon asked, "What are the top three things you think you need to be at the top of the world?"
"…" Dohyuk answered, "Power, resources, and charisma . "
"Charisma…" Giwon nodded . "I see . I guess that's how you view it . I would rather call it a 'fear' . "
Dohyuk did not object . He knew what Giwon was talking about .
"I think if you want others to bend to your will, you need to become more fearful then the Tyrant himself . "
GIwon then took out a handheld flashlight and pointed to a map with various markings that Giwon made with a red pen .
"This is our region . " Giwon explained, "And this, to the south, is the region that now lies in ashes . The two regions in the east are worthless for now . "
There were two more regions on the map . There was one by the beach where Dohyuk was heading towards, and the region that the Tyrant visited every day . The remaining region was…
"It's a hell . "
"…Hell?"
"It's the region governed by the infamous god . "
A living hell . The monsters were strong and increased in numbers way too quickly for any humans to settle down . Only the followers had the 'possibility' of surviving .
"The one who controls the place is the Four Circle – Jung Ilhu . "

"The name…"
"Yes, he's the Tyrant's twin . "
Dohyuk looked incredulously at Giwon . The land didn't seem like much to send a brother to take .
"Ilhu was a follower of that god from the previous life . I think it was good for the Tyrant, to make it look like sending him there is normal . I mean, it's not normal to even want that place . "
With what he just realized, Dohyuk then asked, "So, you mean he's hiding something there?"
"Yes . Quite possible . I think that's the only reason why he sends me here is to see if there are any unneeded clashes between the regions . "
"What has to be done is simple . I send you in there, and you 'grow' with whatever that's within . "
Giwon knew about Dohyuk's Nature . Dohyuk had to become more powerful if he was going to fulfill Giwon's wish .
"If I had time… I was going to find a way to put you in there . . "
"That's unnecessary," Dohyuk said, "That's enough . "
The map . He knew where the treasure was hidden and he had a map to get there .
"I want to get the item now . "
"Are you going now? But-"
Dohyuk still didn't trust Giwon after all . If what Giwon said was true and Dohyuk succeeded in getting what was hidden, he would become much more powerful .
"Then maybe I can relax . "
Giwon then stood as Dohyuk took something out from his pocket . Giwon thought he was trying to kill him, but…
"I don't trust you, but I trust you in some way," Dohyuk stated . He wanted to know the pointed to this man who was corrupt . Why did he have the same 'wish' as him?
"I will see you s…"

Before Dohyuk could finish, a man rushed in, calling out to Giwon .
Dohyuk quickly dived toward the ground .
"S-sir!"
"Do you wish to be killed?"
The Two Circle became silent after seeing Giwon's cold eyes .
"Bursting past the door isn't the right process . "
"B-bu-but…"
He glanced around . On the ground was Giwon's prize, the mysterious man that he had up in the ashlands . Blood was seeping out from man's head who seemed to be lying on the ground, unconscious .
"Speak, before I punish you . "
Then the man brightened up and tried to speak .
"It's not needed . "
With the voice, the man was sliced off from his shoulder to the waist .
"Did you see that? He was relieved when you told him to explain . "
"Dumbass idiot . He should've objected right away . Do I need to be 'explained' when I come to see you?"
"…No, sir . "
Dohyuk listened carefully . It was the first time he sensed bloodthirst even without seeing the person .
"I heard about it while I was coming here . You killed two Three Circles? Isn't that too much?"
The Tyrant spoke while cackling with a smug face .
