Isaac

Chapter 176

“The demon wasn’t here. What do you have to say for yourself?”

“I guess it ran away.”

Colins answered nonchalantly, to which Isaac smacked him in the back of his head.

“Ah, seriously. I may look like this, but I’m quite high up in rank, you know. You’re embarrassing me in front of my men.”

Colins complained as he rubbed his head. Isaac laughed and asked.

“Oh, is that so? Then may I ask what your rank is?”

“I am the Commander of the Independence Army’s 1st regiment, Colonel.”

“Hah. Good on you to rise so high. Was it fun playing soldier all this time? A sergeant getting to wear the rose of sharon.1EDN: The rose of Sharon (???, romanized as Mugunghwa) is the national flower of Korea and the flower’s shape is used in various emblems, including college graduations, government documents, military honours, etc. Reference. Are you reaching for the stars now?”

“Hey, don’t be like that. Of course we reserved a place for you, Lord Isaac.”

“Really now? What’s my rank?”

“Huhuhu. We originally planned to infect the entire city, but that angel bitch ruined it. So we had to come personally.”

“I can’t imagine how much of this poison you’d need to infect this entire city.”

“It’s not poison. It’s a stimulant that sends the virus into overdrive. Its only real downside is that producing it is difficult and it doesn’t last very long, so we planned to use it against the combat agents equipped with the defensive coats. The results were ideal, as you can…”

“So infecting the combat agents was just another step.”

“That’s right. The plague will wipe the Empire from this world.”
