Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 55:
Chapter 55: Rise in War Capabilities (2)
[Reaching intermediate warfare has increased charisma by one . ]
[Reaching intermediate warfare has increased good luck by one . ]
Then new messages appeared .
What did that mean?
An increase in charisma and good luck!
So far, those two had been fixed stats and didn’t increase with every level up .
That wasn’t all .
[The efficiency of black magic energy when using Heavenly Cut has risen . ]
[The consumption of black magic energy will be reduced to 30 points when casting the skill . ]
‘Consumption of black magic energy has decreased?’
Those were very pleasant words .
The skill was powerful but taxing since it consumed 40 points of black magic energy every time .
Of course, 30 points was still a burden but at least it had decreased by 10 points .

The status window showed that his black magic energy was full .
More than anything, he was proud of his good luck and charisma .
In addition, his agility, strength and intelligence had also increased due to the level up .
When his level went up, the power of Heaven’s Blood Sword Style, Aura of the Wind and Aura of Earth also rose .
It meant an increase in his combat power!
The difference was immediately apparent . The speed at which Kang-jun got rid of monsters became noticeably faster .
Now it was possible to get rid of a 10 metre tall tentacle monster without using a skill .
Moreover, the consumption of black magic energy for Heavenly Cut was reduced so the battle became easier .
“Wahh! H-help me . ”
At that time, a **** sovereign ran up to Kang-jun . A huge tentacle was attached to him .
“Kukukuk! Kukukukak! Where are you fleeing to?”
Kang-jun immediately used a skill .
‘Heavenly Cut!’
Flash! Chwack –
“Kuooooh!”
The giant monster was sliced in half .
[90 nodes have been gained . ]
[One small moonstone has been acquired . ]
In fact, no matter how large the tentacles, he didn’t need to waste black magic energy to use Heavenly Cut on them .
Kang-jun was able to deal constant damage .
However, it would take a long time to fight the dozens of tentacles that were flying .
It would be even more hard if he was surrounded by various creatures .
He didn’t want to spend too long against a single opponent .
‘Aura of the Wind!’
In order to avoid the constant tentacles, it was necessary to move faster .
He ran between the tentacles of a five metre tall monster .
This time he swiftly swung his sword without needing a skill .
Chwack! Chwack! Chwaack!
“Kueeeeoh!”
The tentacles were cut off and a large stab wound occurred on the main body . Black blood and organs poured out . It was the end .
[52 nodes have been gained . ]
[A low grade black magic energy potion has been obtained . ]
‘Huhu, jackpot!’
A potion that recovered 80 points of black magic energy .
Among the items that dropped, these were Kang-jun’s favourite .
The black magic energy potions were often consumed so he could refill his depleted black magic energy .
Furthermore, the amount of money accumulated wasn’t a joke .
Perhaps Keirun was currently looking at it with a wide mouth .
On the other hand, the ones fighting in teams had the money divided depending on their damage contribution .
Money was automatically distributed and placed in the sovereigns’ bases, but the problem was the items .
If an item dropped then the sovereigns had differing opinions about how to divide it .
Some said the person who picked it up first should keep it, whilst others wanted a rotation system .
However, it was impossible to distribute the items equally .
Most of all, the moonstones that gave achievement points were a source of conflict among the sovereigns . None of them were willing to yield the moonstones to each other .
Therefore, some of the sovereigns who originally teamed up withdrew to fight on their own .
Even if it was dangerous, they would fight alone!
Zenith, Hardia and Avia were already fighting alone like Kang-jun .
They were slower than Kang-jun but they could take down 10 metre tall monsters . Each of them had a powerful combat skill .
In the meantime, they had levelled up and their movements became more agile .
Still, they only managed to take down one in the time it took Kang-jun to kill three or four monsters .
Hardis stared at Kang-jun with a complicated expression as he saw it .
‘How is he stronger than me? It is really unbelievable . ’
He slowly started to feel fear towards Kang-jun .
Kang-jun ignored him and focused on the battle .
How much time passed?
Before he knew it, the tentacles weren’t visible anymore .
The sovereigns were all safe . However, many of them had been resurrected, treated for injuries or gained little achievements .
However, there were some people who were well off .
Zenith, Hardis and Avia .
They never died and their injuries were treated with potions .
Each of them obtained a few moonstones .
Of course, it was nothing compared to Kang-jun . Kang-jun smiled with satisfaction when he saw the message in front of him .
[As the sovereign with the highest achievements among the 439th army, 50 achievement points will be acquired . ]
[Red Moon Achievement Points: 200]
He currently had 200 achievement points . He had 26 moonstones so he could gain an additional 26 points .
The moonstones were unique in that they could be stored together . It was very convenient that all the moonstones could be stored in one place .
Susususu .
At that moment, Heksia appeared again .
Something had happened in the meantime as her body was in a miserably condition .
Her red wings were half torn and tattered while her hair was all tangled . Her whole body was a **** mess and her face was bruised .
The sovereigns were astonished by her appearance .
Who was Heksia?
She was a commander with a power that was estimated to be equivalent to a dragon .
Who was she fighting that she ended up in a state like this?
Heksia frowned as she noticed the sovereigns’ glances .
“What are you looking at? While you were fighting these inferior things, I was killing their lords! Bah! Do I look that funny?”
The sovereigns flinched and turned their attention away .
“Damn! Why are the lords of the Second Demon King so strong? I nearly died . ”
Heksia grumbled as she staggered forward to the resurrection gem .
Hwaaack!
A mysterious red light hit her body and it was restored to its original state .
Her transparent red wings glittered behind her and her blue hair was neatly arranged .
Heksia immediately swept a glance over the sovereigns and said .
“Well done everybody . The first fight has been completed successfully . In the future, the level of the battles will be different so be prepared . ”
Kang-jun heard her last words as a hallucination . The space on either side of him was distorted .
[Your time in the world of Hwanmong is over . ]
[The door to Hwanmong is closed . ]
Hayun smiled at him as Kang-jun opened his eyes .
“You woke up? There is a guest in the living room . ”
“A guest? Who?”
It was early morning so why would someone come here?
It was Han Yeon-soo from the Black Dragon Law Firm . She smiled brightly at Kang-jun .
“Hello, Lee Kang-jun . ”
“What are you doing here so early?”
The lawyer didn’t need to sleep . She might not sleep because she wasn’t a human . Kang-jun seemed to be in a bad mood as Han Yeon-soo shrugged .
“I was just passing through the area when I remembered Hayun’s ramyun . So I decided to come . I’m sorry if it is too early . ”
Kang-jun was dumbfounded . In the end, she just came to eat ramyun . It was 6 . 30 a . m . It was also a man’s house .
“Hoho! I’m sorry, Hayun . May I have one bowl today?”
Hayun replied with a smile .
“This morning’s menu isn’t ramyun . I hope you don’t mind soybean paste stew . ”
“Ah, I really like soybean paste stew . ”
“Then that’s great . It will take 30 minutes . ”
Hayun walked into the kitchen and started cooking with her assistant Colt .
Kang-jun studied Han Yeon-soo .
“What the **** is going on? Surely you didn’t come just to eat . ”
“That’s right . I actually have a few things to tell you . ”
Han Yeon-soo fiddled with her glasses before continuing .
“Do you want to know about the red moon? The moon is quite significant . ”
“Of course . ”
He had been fighting on the battlefield of the red moon but didn’t know why .
“The same rules apply in this reality . It is wise to consume your battle power fighting against the forces of the Second Demon King . ”
Kang-jun nodded .
“The other sovereigns can’t hit me during this time . ”
“Yes . But you don’t have to worry about me making a deal with them . In fact, it isn’t easy to meet and negotiate with sovereigns during this period . ”
Usually when sovereigns met, negotiating was impossible since there would be a battle soon .
“Another thing, it is better to obtain more red moon achievement points . Only the moonstones should be used wisely . ”
“Aren’t moonstones used to gain achievement points?”
“Of course . But it is also possible to make deals with the sovereigns . In addition, our law firm will purchase them . In fact, that is what I came for . ”
“So the bottom line is, don’t trade moonstones for achievement points but sell them . ”
“Yes . Hoho, you noticed very quickly . ”
“So what do I gain?”
“You will get far more rewards than public achievements . Cash or buildings . ”
Cash or buildings? Moonstones gained in Hwanmong could be exchanged for real world cash or buildings .
“How is it? Do I have your attention? I’ll tell you the conditions at a later date . I’m sure you won’t be disappointed . ”
“I understand . ”
I didn’t know why a neutral force like the Black Dragon Law Firm wanted the moonstones . But there was obviously an important reason .
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have used an excuse of a meal to come meet Kang-jun so early .
‘I don’t know if I should keep the moonstones . ’
After a while, Han Yeon-soo entered the kitchen to eat the bowl of soybean paste stew that Hayun created . Kang-jun also finished the meal and prepared to go to work .
After getting dressed and grabbing the car keys, he headed to the library .
The study room contained hundreds of thick books in the shelves . He had been spending the last two days in the library looking for books on management and the economy .
‘What books should I read today?’
Kang-jun borrowed four books and placed them in his bag .
Of course, he picked these books to read at the market .
At the moment, Kang-jun didn’t do any direct trading .
He periodically used the Draw In Customers skill while his part-time workers sold the merchandise .
He made a minimum of three million profit a day and it could go up to six million .
Thanks to this, Kang-jun already earned more than 30 million even without Jung Kwang-hyeon’s fortune .
Construction workers were currently building the book cafe on the 4th floor of the Dafeng building so he would quit selling underwear when that finished .
Therefore he went to the market today . He drove the Venta S class .
Bururung .
Kang-jun started the car and drove off . Not long ago, he had been riding a bus or subway to work but now a car seemed natural .
It had only been a few days .
Kang-jun drove leisurely and arrived at the market . He parked in the public parking and walked with the bag containing the books .
“Boss-nim! You came?”
“We have put out the underwear . ”
“Haha! Have you eaten breakfast? Then please work hard today . ”
Kang-jun greeted his part time workers, sat on a chair to the side and opened the book .
Reading in this noisy market?
It was an absurd sight but Kang-jun focused his attention on the book . He was having fun reading .
‘Draw In Customers!’
He used the management skill after he started reading .
How much time passed?
Kang-jun ordered lunch at a nearby restaurant and was reading again when he felt something strange .
It was like someone was staring at him .
It lasted for quite a while .
He ignored it and focused on his reading . But as it continued, he finally looked up .
A man in a high-class suit was standing 20 metres away and staring at him .
‘That person?’
The man’s face was somewhat familiar . He had seen the face on the television a few days ago . This was the first time he saw it directly .
‘Yoo Seung-hwan?’
It was Yoo Seung-hwan, the wealthy businessman with 100 billion shares in stocks . Yoo Seung-hwan gave a bitter smile and approached Kang-jun .
“Do you have time to talk?”
