Chapter 111: Break Through the Limit (4)
“Oh! Lucan! No, 7th Commander!”
“I greet 7th Commander.”
Andras and the others welcomed him. Their eyes were full of awe as they gazed at Kang-jun.
The sovereign who was ranked first.
Kang-jun, who had become one of the 12 senior commanders in the army, was the pride of the sovereigns.
They had competed with Kang-jun at one time, so they knew Kang-jun’s strength better than anyone else and that it was foolish to fight against Kang-jun.
So, there was no animosity in their gazes toward him.
Kang-jun laughed.
"Is there a party spot available?”
"O-of course. Commander is welcome at any time.”
Agnus, the party leader, quickly offered a party invite to Kang-jun.
Once Kang-jun was added, they were able to deal with the lizardmen freely.
Kang-jun looked down from the sky.
Of course, the Kang-jun below was his clone.
The sovereigns were in a crisis so he sent his clone to help.
There was no point to surviving alone if all the other sovereigns were dead.
Enemies beyond one’s imagination existed in the Hwanmong worlds.
If possible, a large number of capable sovereigns needed to survive in order to defend Earth Hwanmong.
'Then should I find a different goal?’
Kang-jun searched the battlefield for advanced lords.
There were Lords everywhere.
Many lords had been released from the Aok prisons.
There were many allied commanders fighting against them.
Kang-jun supported the situations where his allies were at a disadvantage. He used Heavenly Flow to scatter the enemy lords’ magic from a distance.
Then after a long time...
During that time, Kang-jun took care of four more advanced lords, eight intermediate lords and ten lower lords.
Only five hearts had dropped.
He got three more Aok keys and two of the rare Dimensional Pieces.
There were also other legend grade equipment.
Just in case, he placed two sets of legend ranked armour and sword into his inventory and sent the rest to his warehouse.
It was the same for the silver boxes.
He only opened the golden boxes, while the silver ones were sent to the warehouse unopened.
It would be interesting to see the silver boxes piled up in his warehouse later.
He also completed missions 19 to 21.
Three missions! It required getting rid of 12 lords.
As his level soared, the required experienced increased. So, the last advanced lord he killed only gave him one level.
He gained a total of 15 levels.
Lv.84 (Exp 03.89%)
[War] Advanced
Health: 24950/24950
Black Magic Energy: 24180/24180
Strength: 88 (+10)
Agility: 89 (+10)
Intelligence: 82
Good Luck: 11
Charisma: 23 (+4)
At that time, Sud, the demon, suddenly sent him a message.
(Lord, can I use a heart in my alchemy?)
"Heart in your alchemy?”
(Yes, it is possible to manufacture very powerful recovery medicine by synthesizing the heart and essences.)
"What is the efficacy?”
(Not sure, but if you are lucky, a potion that restores all your health at once might emerge. There is a possibility of failure. However, I can try up to 10 times with one heart, so at least one of them should succeed.)
“Then try it.”
Kang-jun didn’t worry about it.
Right now, he could obtain the hearts of the lords without much difficulty.
If Sud’s alchemy was successful and he created a potion that restored all health, it would be a great help to Kang-jun.
If Kang-jun was facing imminent death, he could recover all 24,950 health points at once.
(Lord trusts me, so I will surely succeed.)
"Are there any other necessary ingredients?"
(Essences and a health potion should be sufficient, but some moonstone powder might increase the probability.)
“Moonstones?”
(Yes. It is a superstition but it seems pretty likely.)
"Then do it. Would you prefer a large moonstone?”
(Of course.)
“How about 10?”
(Huhu, that is enough.)
“Okay. Then please be successful.”
(It will take some time. I will tell you when it is done.)
After that, Sud started his alchemy.
Of course, Kang-jun didn’t see it.
It was because Sud was doing the synthesis in his alchemy space.
‘I hope he succeeds.’
If there was one potion that could restore all his health, it would be reassuring, since it was like having an extra life.
'Is it here?’
In front of Kang-jun, a battle was occurring between a giant demon and the army commanders.
As he killed lords and moved through enemy lines, Kang-jun arrived at the vicinity of a battle between one of the top three demon commanders and the senior commanders of Earth Hwanmong.
The demon Kadiana!
She was a huge female mermaid.
Her upper body was female but her lower body had scaly armour and looked very creepy.
Additionally, each of the thousands strands of hair were made up of serpentine tentacles like the legendary Medusa.
Kadiana was fighting the 2nd commander, Madun, and four other arm commanders.
Kwaang! Kwarururung! Kwa kwang!
A normal human with ordinary ears would have their eardrums burst from the sounds.
Of course, before the eardrums burst, their bodies would be turned into dust from the shockwaves of their strikes.
However, Kang-jun just watched their confrontation.
Kadiana was slightly superior.
Unlike Kadiana who was attacking, Madun and the others were focused on defense.
Flash! Kwaaaaang!
Thousands of Kadiana’s strands of hair whipped at Madun’s body but the other commanders instantly blocked them with a barrier.
It was the same for the other army commanders.
Kadiana was furious and switched targets, but she was blocked by the commanders’ barrier every time.
‘They can’t attack, but they are holding out against Kadiana.’
That alone was enough.
The only problem was that they had to defend until Kadiana was tired and withdrew.
Of course, Madun and the others seemed to be accustomed to this type of work.
"These boring guys! If you are going to fight so shamefully, then go away!”
Kadiana shouted while attacking more aggressively.
Kwarurung! Kwaang!
More terrifying banging sounds rang everywhere. This time, the shock was strong and Madun frowned slightly.
At that moment...
Kadiana flew toward Kang-jun like she had been aiming for this. She knew from the beginning that Kang-jun had been watching.
Chwaaak!
She sped through the space like a beam of light and aimed lightning Kang-jun.
Pajijijik!
Hundreds of lightning bolts covered the whole sky.
However, Kang-jun swung calmly at them with his sword.
As soon as Kadiana made a surprised expression, Kang-jun’s sword gleamed.
Seokeok!
Kadiana’s head was cut off.
Papapat!
Her huge body was separated into dozens of pieces.
"Kuook!”
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Kadiana’s head that had flown away showed a shocked expression.
Pahat.
However, Kadiana’s body was reassembled immediately after separation. Her eyes gleamed with anger and thousands of lightning bolts flew toward Kang-jun at once.
Syuook! Syuoook!
The lightning bolts filled the entire space!
If Kang-jun had simply raised his level, it would have been impossible to get out of this situation.
It was because such a massive attack couldn’t be stopped with a wide area skill like Heavenly Unyielding Slash.
However, this attack was nothing to Kang-jun who had broken through the limits in the Guardian Hall.
Flash! Flash! Paaaat!
Heavenly Unyielding Slash spread out in 10 waves at once and all of them were cut. It was followed by another flash!
The flash created a line of red light from Kadiana’s right shoulder to left waist.
"Kuook!”
Once again, her body was cut apart. Of course, Kadiana was immediately restored to her original condition but there was surprise in her eyes.
She couldn’t believe it.
Kang-jun gazed at her coldly.
"I wonder how long you can restore yourself.”
At that moment, Kadiana aimed her whip at Kang-jun once again.
Flash! Paijijik!
It had twice as many strands as before.
‘How troublesome.’
Kang-jun used Heavenly Flow and scattered them.
Once he got rid of everything, he couldn’t see Kadiana anymore.
‘Escaping?’
She was flying up through the purple clouds.
'I can’t miss her.’
Kang-jun chased straight behind her.
Then 2nd Commander Madun screamed.
“Wait! That place is dangerous. It is difficult to move properly due to the dimensional power up there.”
Among the senior commanders, only 3rd Commander Ligas and 12 Commander Rainkar could go up there.
Madun couldn’t enter the dimensional sea.
However, one person needed to be added to that number today.
Kang-jun gave him a carefree smile and disappeared into the dimensional sea.
“T-that is impossible!”
Madun and the other four commanders were astonished.
They had never imagined that Kang-jun’s ability was on the level to push Kadiana back as well as enter the dimensional sea.
On the other hand, Kang-jun was shocked by the sight around him.
The sky was black like the universe.
Below him, purple clouds spread out like a sea.
Thus, it was called a sea of clouds.
There were only clouds no matter where he looked.
However, these clouds weren’t normal clouds but the flow of dimensional power.
Those who didn’t have resistance to the dimensional power would be broken into dust by the formidable pressure.
However, thanks to Will of Emergency that he had acquired when the Wings of Chaos reached Stage 6, Kang-jun didn’t feel much inconvenience. His eyes moved around like a hawk searching for prey.
‘Over there.’
Kadiana, the demon, appeared to be heading to the upper part of the sea of clouds.
Kang-jun chased after her immediately...
And he caught up.
His flight was different from normal flight because he continuously skipped through space.
Once Kang-jun blocked her path, Kadiana stopped and stared at him like she had given up on escaping.
"Did you come to meet your end?”
Her body was surrounded by a blue light. Kadiana, who was originally 10 times larger than Kang-jun, had reduced to a size similar to him.
She instantly struck with a dark blue sword with a strong momentum that was incomparable to before!
Kakang! Kwaang! Kwaang!
The two swords clashed.
Jjejejeok!- Kaang!
They collided a few times until cracks started to form on the Vampire Lord’s Sword.
‘Damn! Why is that sword so strong?’
Kang-jun frowned at it.
Kadiana was holding an unusual sword.
If it could destroy a legend ranked sword so easily. it was likely to be a myth ranked sword.
He put the Vampire Lord’s Sword away reluctantly and pulled out another sword from his inventory. He had prepared extra equipment for cases like this.
Kadiana had a smile of victory after seeing Kang-jun’s expression and wielded her sword more violently.
“Huhuhut! It is the end...”
However, at that moment, Kang-jun’s sword had already swept over her whole body.
Flash! Pa pa pa pa!
Kadiana’s arms and head were separated from her body.
"Kuook! T-this is ridiculous...!”
Her body was once again restored as she glared at Kang-jun’s sword.
