Chapter 135: Hall of Ruin (2)
"But who will protect this place if both of you go with me? Surely, you don't intend to leave your clones?"
Then Shakan grinned.
"The ability of a clone can't last for a long time here. I will just leave my anomaloria. It will come to me immediately if something happens."
All presences that weren't transcendent grade wouldn't be able to survive here.
Rather, it was better to leave behind the anomaloria that was a being of the dimensional system. It could immediately warp to its master through warp movement.
"Okay. Then follow me."
Kang-jun didn't know how they could follow him to reality.
In fact, although Kang-jun had become transcendent, he didn't know all the miscellaneous knowledge about the dimensional system.
In other words, he just jumped to Shakan and Keljark's level in combat. He still had a long way to go in miscellaneous knowledge.
[The door to Hwanmong is closed.]
[Your time in the world of Hwanmong is over.]
Finally, the message appeared and the space started to distort.
At that moment, Shakan and Keljark turned into blurry shadows and penetrated into Kang-jun's wings.
"You woke up."
Hayun greeted him with a bright smile.
However, unlike the earlier days, she wasn't sitting on a chair but lying beside him.
It was a natural occurrence after her relationship with Kang-jun deepened.
Kang-jun looked at her like she was adorable and said,
"Good morning."
"Yes. By the way, there is something different about you."
Hayun said after staring at Kang-jun. During the night, Kang-jun had not only reached transcendence in Hwanmong, but he had also become a dimensional sovereign.
As a result, he was no longer bound by the rules of Hammond, so Hayun could feel something was different.
Kang-jun smiled.
"It is as you said. I am no longer controlled by the rules of Hwanmong."
Hayun's eyes widened with surprise.
"Did you become transcendent?"
"Yes."
Hayun's face lit up. It was very meaningful to her that Kang-jun had become transcendent. It was because her destiny lay with Kang-jun as a member of his household.
"Congratulations.
"Thank you."
Hayun looked very sexy at that moment, so Kang-jun immediately kissed her on the lips. His hand touched Hayun's chest naturally.
At that moment, a hot wind blew out.
"Hmm hmm! This view is a little bit embarrassing."
"Is this really necessary in the morning? They really are humans."
What was this? Kang-jun was shocked to hear familiar voices in his bedroom.
He turned his head and saw a man and woman standing in front of his bed.
They were a red-haired young man and a black-haired beauty.
Of course, they were the Top Dragon Shakan and Top Demon King Keljark.
Once they came out of his wings, they stared at Kang-jun holding a naked Hayun in bed with strange eyes.
"What? These people?"
Kang-jun asked, covering his lower body with the blanket. This situation was beyond embarrassing.
Then Shakan shrugged,
"You must have forgotten that we came together. Carry on."
Keljark also said,
"I'm sorry if I'm intruding. I'll leave."
He couldn't speak. What could he say in this situation?
Kang-jun got up and put on some clothes.
In the meantime, Hayun was almost completely dressed in perfect attire.
It was a really marvelous speed.
She knew that Shakan and Keljark were special like Kang-jun. Hayun smiled brightly like nothing had happened and led them to the living room.
"Sit over here."
Then she set some cookies she had baked and cups of warm coffee in front of them.
"We have guests today, so I will prepare a lot of food for breakfast."
Hayun seemed to enjoy the thought as she entered the kitchen and started to wash the rice. At the same time, she had Colt run some errands.
"Today, I will make kimchi stew. I will make rice while you go and buy plenty of pork and tofu. We have kimchi."
"Yes, Hayun-nim. I'll buy pork loins from in front of Jigal Street."
Colt took the credit card from Hayun and disappeared.
After a while, he came back with bags containing pork and tofu.
Hayun put all the ingredients into the kimchi stew.
Bugul bugul.
Shakan and Keljark smelt the distinct scent of kimchi stew as it started boiling.
No matter how transcendent they were, there was a myriad of things they hadn't experienced.
One of those things was kimchi stew.
Kimchi stew was a dish where you could feel the delicious taste of kimchi.
However, the smell was difficult for them to understand. There was no way of knowing if it would be delicious or not.
However, their expressions were full of expectation.
They were going to be tasting something that they had never experienced before!
It made their hearts stir.
'Indeed, these type of interesting things occur when we follow Lucan.'
'I'm certainly not bored here.'
The cookies and Americano coffee didn't stimulate their interests. Still, they had come to a strange world and were going to eat something new.
Furthermore, the TV in the living room was a very interesting tool to them.
As transcendents, it didn't need to be explained to them as they sucked up all the knowledge.
Keljark lay on the couch with her legs curled up and changed the channels with the remote control.
"Wait! Leave it there."
"No, thanks."
Shakan tried to hold it on a channel where idol girl groups were dancing and singing in sexy outfits, but Keljark switched it to a drama with a sneer.
In the end, Shakan rushed and tried to grab the remote.
"Give it to me, Keljark."
However, Keljark stubbornly defended the remote control. She stared at Shakan with fierce eyes.
"Do you want to fight here?"
"I have nothing to lose."
Two transcendents of Pavalia Station were arguing over the TV channel?
However, Kang-jun, who had just exited from his shower, took Keljark's remote and changed the channel.
"What drama is on in the morning? A girl group show is better."
"Hey, that is too much."
Keljark whined but Kang-jun disregarded it. Shakan was delighted.
Hayun laughed and called out to them,
"Breakfast is ready. Come eat."
Kang-jun stood up happily.
"Let's eat."
Keljark and Shakan also rose immediately.
"Okay."
"Huhu, I always welcome food."
They sat around the table.
The kimchi stew was spicy but tasty.
Keljark and Shakan made a strange expression at the unfamiliar taste at first, but quickly understood the taste of kimchi stew.
"Kya ~ this soup tastes great."
Spoon up!Lick lick! "This is the taste of pork."
Kang-jun admired their amazing ability to recognize the delicious taste and to seem like they had been eating it for a long time.
After a while, Kang-jun left the house.
Hayun was busy today with the operation of the Delta building, so he went to a PC room to play games alone.
However, Shakan and Keljark followed after him like they were puppies.
"Why are you coming along?"
"I will just do what you are doing."
"Yes, don't worry about it."
He wanted to enjoy an ordinary life in reality, so he headed to the PC room. This also seemed very interesting to Shakan and Keljark.
Kang-jun was somewhat embarrassed at first, but on the other hand, it made sense.
They were bored.
No, he could see that they were lonely.
Kang-jun was a transcendent and could enjoy an ordinary life in reality, but they had no such things.
Their sole pleasure after fighting the monsters in the Hall of Ruin for so many years was playing around with the small worlds.
Kang-jun's everyday life was interesting to them.
Thus, Kang-jun decided to let them experience even more fun things…
Like pork belly and soju!
A little later in the evening.
First, they shared soju with pork belly, then they went to a pub to have beer and chicken.
Then he heard about why they were playing war games. Keljark spoke first,
"Lucan, I was actually hoping that a new transcendent would appear. Thus, I started the war game."
"What does that mean?"
"If there is a war, people will experience crises and want to become stronger. Among them, there will be those who will exceed the limits. There is no one who will become stronger if it is too peaceful. They would just stay complacent."
Kang-jun frowned. He didn't like the means that she had chosen.
"Then what about all the innocent people who died in the middle of it?"
"I don't know about that, but in the end, you emerged. Lucan is transcendent due to Colladikus. I should give a bonus to him. Hohoho."
Keljark's cheeks were tinged with red. She didn't get rid of the light-headed feeling because she seemed to be enjoying it.
Meanwhile, Shakan wasn't interested in their conversation and just focused on eating.
"Excuse me, one more fried chicken and spicy chicken over here! And some beer as well! Also, please bring a plate of golbaengi muchim as well!" (Golbaengi muchim: a type of spicy sea snail salad snack consumed when drinking alcohol)
It made Kang-jun wonder when they learnt Korean.
The next day, Kang-jun enjoyed an ordinary life with Keljark and Shakan.
Keljark and Shakan became addicted to pork belly and soju and insisted that they eat it every evening. Therefore, for the first time, Kang-jun had to eat it for three days consecutively.
They it was time to go back to Hwanmong.
Kang-jun laid down on his bed as Keljark and Shakan entered his wings.
[The door to Hwanmong is open.]
They appeared at a point near the Hall of Ruin.
Shakan smiled at Kang-jun.
"Thank you, Lucan. I really enjoyed it. I felt the real pleasure of living after a long time."
Keljark also smiled.
"It is the same for me as well, Lucan. It was really a lot of fun. Bring me again at a later time.
After indulging in pork belly and soju, they returned to having the mysterious atmosphere of a transcendent.
Kang-jun nodded.
"Sure, feel free to come at any time."
He felt like they had become friends.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa!
Then Kang-jun's gaze turned toward the Hall of Ruin.
Unlike when the unidentified monsters had popped out, the Hall of Ruin was swirling with an eerie aura.
A familiar aura could sometimes be felt.
Kang-jun's eyes shone.
'Doesn't it seem to be related to chaos power?'
Originally, he had planned to stop by the base in order to celebrate becoming a transcendent with Keirun and the other household members.
However, it was now more important to uncover the secrets of the Hall of Ruin.
He had already talked about it with Shakan and Keljark while drinking.
The next time that monsters popped out, Shakan and Keljark would deal with them while Kang-jun went inside.
Shakan spoke with a worried expression,
"Are you really going to enter?"
"Somehow, I feel sick. You should think about it once again, Lucan."
Keljark also warned him.
Of course, this wasn't the first time they had tried to deter Kang-jun. They had told him many times that it was ridiculous while drinking.
However, this was another chance for Kang-jun to exceed his limits.
It was an opportunity given only to those who had chaos power.
Kuoooh!
It was at that moment that the Hall of Ruin, which had been swirling wildly, abruptly became silent. Once again, a monster popped out.
'Finally!'
Kang-jun's eyes lit up. His gaze moved to Shakan and Keljark and they nodded.
