Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 73:
Chapter 73: Becoming a Celebrity (2)
It was like a movie where he needed to swear allegiance to the Demon King .
‘Damn! I’m going to die here . ’
Kang-jun thought bitterly .
If he knew he Second Demon King was here then he never would have come .
Solving this would only give 300 points . The commanders were obviously crazy .
‘Wait!’
Then Kang-jun suddenly shook his head .
There was something strange . Were the commanders really crazy?
This situation was either one of two things .
What if the commanders weren’t crazy? Then the Second Demon King in front of him wasn’t real .
In other words, it was worth 300 achievement points .
Furthermore, he also had a mission . The 13th mission asked him to destroy the ghoul lord .
The mission wouldn’t have been wrong .
‘Maybe he is a fake?’
What if it was a type of confusion magic?
However, that wasn’t possible . If it was confusion magic, he would be immune thanks to the Wyvern’s Ring .
So, it wasn’t a fake but the real Second Demon King . However, at the same time, it couldn’t be the real Second Demon King!
He was somewhat confused .
‘I don’t know . ’
Kang-jun gritted his teeth .
It didn’t matter if it was the real Second Demon King .
He couldn’t just sit down and die after deciding not to surrender to the Second Demon King . He would fight, even if it meant dying .
In the meantime, the ghoul lord had gotten closer to Kang-jun .
Unlike the force coming off the ghoul lord, it had moved closer secretly like a cat .
Now, only one more step was needed to for it to arrive near Kang-jun .
Until then, Kang-jun’s eyes had been downcast as he showed signs of distress on his face . A satisfied smile appeared on the ghoul lord’s face . It was on the verge of grasping Kang-jun with both hands .
However, Kang-jun had been waiting for this time and he leapt forward .
His sword swung in the space before him .
It didn’t matter if the attack didn’t do any damage . He couldn’t just die . He needed to try striking .
‘Heavenly Cut!’
Kang-jun reflexively used his skill .
Flash!
At the moment, confusion shone in the ghoul lord’s eyes . It jumped back hurriedly but Kang-jun’s sword was faster .
Sukeok! Flash! Sukeok!
His sword flashed and the ghoul lord’s head fell to the ground .
And then the body ran forward with agitation .
Kung kung kung! Hwing hwing hwing!
Despite having no head, the arms struck precisely where Kang-jun was located . Its huge foot stomped on the ground, making it shake .
Kung! Kung! Kuwuong!
‘Ugh!’
Kang-jun’s health was reduced by the shockwave .
Health: 704/810 .
‘Shit! What?’
It wanted a final struggle?
Its speed was like the wind, so he needed to pay careful attention .
Hwing hwing hwing! Kung! Kuwuong!
Kang-jun avoided the fierce attacks and responded calmly . His sword passed over the forearms and legs of the ghoul lord .
Chwack! Chwack! Chwack!
He didn’t unleash a skill but it still caused damage . Kang-jun’s sword sliced up the ghoul lord’s body wildly .
Chwack chwack chwack!
The Vampire Lord’s Sword then showed its ability to absorb health .
Health: 810/810 .
The health that had been reduced by the shockwave was restored .
Conversely, the ghoul lord’s body was gradually losing power .
It slowed down and stopped moving for a moment .
‘A chance . ’
Kang-jun couldn’t miss this and his sword flashed in succession .
Flash! Flash!
It was the end . The ghoul lord’s feet were cut off and its huge body fell to the ground .
“Kukukukuku!”
Laughter could then be heard from somewhere .
He turned to see the cut off head laughing .
Its two eyes stared at Kang-jun .
“Indeed . There has to be someone like you in order for me to enjoy conquering this place . ”
The light in those eyes made it seem like they found this situation rather interesting .
Kang-jun could tell that the Second Demon King himself was looking through the eyes of the ghoul lord .
Now, his confusion was cleared up .
He was controlling the ghoul lord from a distance . It was like controlling an avatar in the game .
“Sovereign Lucan! You will see me again in the near future . . . ”
After those words, the body and head of the ghoul lord scattered into smoke .
[Your level has risen . ]
[6,320 nodes have been gained . ]
[61 small moonstones have been acquired . ]
[22 large moonstones have been acquired . ]
[You have destroyed the resurrected ghoul lord . ]
[You have earned 300 red moon achievement points . ]
[Mission 13 has been accomplished . ]
[As a reward, enough experience will be given to increase your level . ]
[8,000 nodes have been given as compensation . ]
[40 large moonstones have been given as compensation . ]
Numerous messages appeared .
Kang-jun smiled as he confirmed that he gained two levels to reach Lv34 .
He also enjoyed the 300 achievement points .
‘Indeed, the commanders weren’t crazy . ’
Sususu .
At that moment, the battlefield distorted and started to disappear .
Kang-jun turned and looked at Jang Seo-yeon who was gazing at Kang-jun with a shocked expression .
[You have won the battle . ]
[No more black magic energy can be obtained as it is full . ]
As soon as the battlefield vanished, the black clouds over the mart disappeared . The identity of the scattered black clouds was revealed .
It was obvious . The ghoul lord had turned this area into a mess .
Kung! Kung!
Those inside the area collapsed immediately .
They were the sovereigns .
Except for Kang-jun and Jang Seo-yeon, the 10 sovereigns collapsed and their bodies were cold .
Originally, those defeated in the battlefield wouldn’t die .
It only took the black magic energy .
However, the battles with evil spirits were an exception .
Defeat was certain death!
In the red moon battlefield, resurrection was possible but there was no such thing here .
Reality was an even more terrifying battlefield for the sovereigns .
Jang Seo-yeon’s heart thumped once again as she looked over the corpses of the sovereigns .
If it hadn’t been for the Protection of Time and Kang-jun, she would have turned out like these sovereigns .
“Huh, what happened?”
Meanwhile, the police and crowd of people were looking at Kang-jun with unease and anticipation . Kang-jun replied with a serious expression,
“I took care of the evil spirit but they are victims of it . ”
Kang-jun pointed to the dead sovereigns on the ground .
People had no idea they were sovereigns . They called them exorcists .
Was there anything else?
They felt more relief that the evil spirit was destroyed than sympathy for the dead .
At the same time, Kang-jun’s credibility rose sharply for taking care of the evil spirits when the other exorcists had failed .
“The rumors are true . Really amazing . ”
“He isn’t called the strongest exorcist for nothing . ”
Kang-jun briefly explained the situation to the police and headed to the van .
Jang Seo-yeon was escorted by bodyguards and also boarded her van .
She sat for a moment with a stunned look before sending a message to Kang-jun .
[Thanks again . And I’m sorry . I nearly died today due to my stubbornness . I regret not listening to you . ]
Then Kang-jun’s messaged back .
[From now on, you should move with the allied sovereigns . Even if you don’t get a lot at once, it is better to hunt reliably . ]
If it had been the same as before, she would have refused out of pride . Of course, she still didn’t feel good .
However, Jang Seo-yeon admitted that Kang-jun’s words weren’t wrong .
Dying once was the end . Rather than getting moonstones, she could die in vain from her greed .
The only exception was if she was as strong as Kang-jun .
[I’ll do that . ]
Then another message came from Kang-jun .
[And I will send a warning message in advance if there is something dangerous like today’s situation . You won’t be a match for such things even in a party . ]
[I understand . ]
Jang Seo-yeon was a bit upset but had nothing to say . If it hadn’t been for Kang-jun, she would have died today . He wasn’t an allied sovereign but a lifesaver .
She immediately contacted Choi Hyun-joo, Jung Sung-wook and the other allied sovereigns . She told them to move together in a party .
Among the allied sovereigns, except for Kang-jun, Jang Seo-yeon was the strongest . There was no reason for them to refuse to move with Jang Seo-yeon .
On the other hand, Kang-jun started hunting again .
Unlike Jang Seo-yeon, he was naturally alone .
He only picked the strongest evil spirits in order to gain as much moonstones as possible .
‘Huhu, due to the increase in good luck from the bean sprout soup, my japtem income has increased slightly . ’
But the drop rate of the moonstones was the same . It didn’t come out frequently but it still came out .
However, he got a lot of moonstones from the ghoul lord, so today’s profit was quite good .
Thanks to the secretary and bodyguards, he didn’t need to drive and the inconvenient chores were taken care of .
While going to the next destination, he could nap or have some snacks while the car was moving . So, even if he hunted all day, he was less tired than before .
The next day, reporters came in the morning .
Kang-jun, who destroyed an evil spirit strong enough to kill 10 exorcists, became known not only in Korea but also the world .
One page of the newspapers was dedicated just to Kang-jun . It was also reported on the Internet and television, so Kang-jun had become a celebrity . Everywhere he went, he was asked for interviews and photos with fans .
Fortunately, Hwang Chang-min was a bodyguard for popular celebrities and was good at coping with such things . Kim Hye-na took care of various interviews so Kang-jun could concentrate on hunting .
[The door to Hwanmong is open . ]
[You have entered the world of Hwanmong . ]
The next night, Kang-jun appeared at his base in the Yugang building in the world of Hwanmong .
“Lord! You’ve arrived!”
Keirun ran over and greeted him . His blue hair and eyes had become clearer than before . He had the distinctive air of a dark elf but also a mysterious atmosphere around him .
Kang-jun just smiled .
“You have changed a lot, Keirun . ”
“Huhu, of course . I made great progress in my abilities as a military adviser as well as my personal abilities . It is all thanks to Lord . ”
“What are your individual capabilities?”
“An increase in my combat power . I can also use a few magic spells . ”
“That’s great . Then what about your abilities as a military adviser?”
“In combat, I have the ability to raise the morale and combat strength of allies . I also have the ability to make the enemy confused . ”
“Okay . I am looking forward to your actions in the future . ”
Kang-jun nodded with a warm expression . Just like Hayun and Colt, Keirun had also become stronger .
“Has a scroll from Commander Heksia arrived yet?”
“Not yet . “
“There is no mission today?”
“If nothing special happens, it will arrive after a while . Meanwhile, why don’t we go around the territory?”
“Is that so? Then, it will be good to see how the area has changed . ”
Due to the abundant funds acquired from Kang-jun, the base at the Yugang building had been upgraded to stage three .
Upgrading from stage one to two cost 5,000 nodes and 10,000 nodes were required for stage three . Therefore, the advantages were incomparable .
Not only was there an increase in taxes but new types of bases could be built .
“Germuz, seeking an audience with Lord!”
Germuz realized that Kang-jun was here and greeted him with a smile .
“It is great to see Lord . ”
After that, Rodiam and a young slime-like man greeted him .
“Kajel greets you . ”
The slime-like young man was Kajel .
“It has been a while . ”
Kang-jun nodded as he saw them .
Once he saw Germuz’s blazing eyes and steel like skin, he could tell that there was a significant upsurge in the combat strength of his troops .
Rodiam’s healing abilities and capabilities as a supervisor increased significantly .
The current workshop was stage three and could accommodate 200 workers . Amazingly, 200 hundred people were summoned every night and put to work .
Finally, Kajel’s attack power rose and he could summon three alternative bodies .
Then Keirun said,
“Then, we shall move to the rest area on the 3rd floor, Lord . ”
“Okay, be my guide . ”
Keirun led Kang-jun with Germuz, Rodiam and Kajel following behind him .
