Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 109 - Break Through the Limit (2)

Flas.h.!.+

It was the flash of light from Heavenly Cut.

Yet it wasn’t the same as any Heavenly Cut that he had seen before.

He had broken through and reached a new level of Heavenly Cut, but that was nothing in comparison to what he saw now.

Supak!

It was an unknown light;

A mysterious light!

It was a light that couldn’t be avoided no matter where Kang-jun ran.

‘What on earth is that?’

In front of that attack, Kang-jun’s attack power, defense and evasion were useless...

And that was the end.

Kang-jun’s body literally melted and turned into smoke, then he reappeared outside the Guardian Hall.

The training was over.

He was in the best physical condition.

The equipment in his inventory had all been repaired and were like new.

However, Kang-jun was still staring blankly as he thought of the attack.

'What was that light?’

It was so powerful that everything he did was futile.

In fact, Kang-jun’s combat power had become dozens of times stronger since entering the Guardian Hall.

His wings had strengthened, his attack power had increased greatly and he gained an enormous amount of health and black magic energy.

However, it was nothing compared to the limits he had pushed past for Heaven’s Blood Sword Style.

As a result, it was able to exert a power beyond his level and stats.

However, it was still nothing before that light.

It was like the moon, that dominated the world at night, losing its light in front of the sun.

Kang-jun was helpless before that mysterious light.

‘That was transcendence.’

It was the state that Rainkar desired.

Kang-jun now understood what Rainkar was talking about.

The difference between being transcendent and the state before that was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Now, Kang-jun knew his words were right. He didn’t know everything but what he knew acknowledged the strength of a transcendent being.

'Anyway, I will reach that level someday.’

Kang-jun had become determined as he walked toward the magic circle.

‘How much time has pa.s.sed?’

It seemed like decades had pa.s.sed in the Guardian Hall, so he had no sense of the flow of time.

Chuuuot!

After returning to the base, he could see that it hadn’t been one night yet.

“Oh! Lord! You've arrived?"

In the meantime, the strong defense wards around the Yugang building had been released.

Keirun was startled to see Kang-jun. It was because the atmosphere coming from Kang-jun was incomparable to before.

"It seems like Lord has made a huge amount of progress today.”

Kang-jun smiled.

"It was a lot more than I thought. By the way, what is all this?”

The base had golden treasure boxes and silver boxes as well as all types of weapons, armour and potions piled up.

Keirun grinned.

"I haven’t put it in the warehouse because I wanted to show Lord.”

“Something must have happened today.”

"Yes, I didn’t contact Lord because I knew you entered the Guardian Hall and I didn’t want to interfere.”

Keirun gave a short summary of what happened today.

Kang-jun nodded with a bitter expression after hearing that Hardis and Zenith had joined the Second Demon King and died.

"They had stupid thoughts.”

Honestly, Kang-jun had no intention of hurting them.

Recently, he had even extended his hand to them.

He had said that he wouldn’t become hostile toward any sovereign that made a deal with him over moonstones.

It was because, just like Rainkar had said, it was meaningless to kill sovereigns to increase his power...

Especially now.

He was looking at the realm of transcendence, so he didn’t have to be afraid of any of the sovereigns on Earth Hwanmong.

No one had forced them to make such a choice. They had fallen to the temptation of the Second Demon King due to their own greed.

"Ah, Lord! I obtained these items.”

Driana handed a necklace and earrings to Kang-jun. They were sovereign tokens.

[Earrings of Valor]

-Rating: Only one

-A sign that you are a sovereign in Hwanmong.

-Strength +5 when worn.

-Sovereign t.i.tle: Zenith

[Necklace of Wisdom]

-Rating: Only one

-A sign that you are a sovereign in Hwanmong.

-Intelligence +5 when worn.

-Sovereign t.i.tle: Hardis

In accordance to Hwanmong’s rules, the tokens of the losers. Zenith and Hardis. were given to Kang-jun.

Truth be told, the increase in stats at this level weren’t enough to affect his attack power. Still, it was better not to neglect the small stats.

Kang-jun put them on immediately.

Demonic Dragon’s Ring - Charisma +3

Wyvern Ring - Strength +5

Cloak of the Wind - Agility +5

Excluding what he had gotten today, these were the ones he was already wearing.

As a result, Kang-jun owned five sovereign tokens.

“Thank you for the trouble, Driana. Today, you have distinguished yourself."

Driana smiled after hearing Kang-jun’s praise.

He continued by encouraging Keirun and the other members of his household. In particular, he didn’t forget to stroke Melinad’s head and praise Heksia who had taken care of the dark mages and advanced lords.

The rewards for the achievements he had gained diligently in the b.l.o.o.d.y Battlefield were certainly worth it.

Thanks to that, Kang-jun’s household members had become stronger.

Furthermore, the loot was substantial.

There were two golden treasure boxes which had been dropped by the advanced lords and two silver boxes from the dark mages.

Additionally, there was a lot of j.a.ptem and a large number of nodes.

In the meantime, it was time for Hwanmong to close.

‘I will open the boxes next time.'

[The door to Hwanmong is closed.]

Once he returned to reality, he received a call from Han Yeon-soo early in the morning.

"h.e.l.lo."

-Yes, this is Han Yeon-soo. I am calling about the matter of transferring the property of the sovereigns, Hardis and Zenith.

It was as fast as expected. Kang-jun nodded.

"I thought you would contact me. Please handle it well.”

-Yes. Currently, Hardis, Yoo Seung-hwan, has about 142.8 billion won, including buildings, securities and cash. Zenith, Kim Kun-woo, has approximately 121.3 billion won, including buildings, securities and cash. Would you like to take over the buildings, sell the securities and deposit the cash into your account?

"Please do so.”

Securities referred to stocks or bonds.

The value of investments often fluctuated, so it was better to have cash.

At present, he also needed cash in order to buy the Delta building.

However, there was no need to dispose of the buildings.

This was because he would continue to purchase more buildings after acquiring the Delta building.

It was inefficient to sell buildings only to have to buy them later.

On the afternoon of the next day, Han Yeon-soo came to his house.

"Welcome. Is it over now?”

"Yes, I spent all day yesterday taking care of it. It is done. Things like cars and yachts have been put in the Skia s.p.a.ce instead of being disposed of, so please take a look. If you want to sell them, I will take care of it.”

She sat down on the couch and gave Kang-jun a list of the properties.

Hardis had seven buildings, three apartments and s.p.a.cious land surrounded by mountains in other areas.

Excluding the bank loans, the value of his real estate was worth approximately 50 billion won and the rest was in cash.

Kim Kun-woo had five buildings in Korea, two luxury apartments, a luxury yacht and one mansion in the United States.

There was also a car called Century, worth 400 million, and the yacht, they were sent to his Skia s.p.a.ce.

Hardis had a luxury SUV that was also in the Skia s.p.a.ce.

A Venta S Cla.s.s, Century, SUV, yacht and the magic bike...

Kang-jun now had five methods of transportation in the Skia s.p.a.ce.

‘More cars. Well, I don’t have to sell anything.’

He didn’t need vehicles because he had the wings, but it felt good seeing the various types of luxury vehicles in his s.p.a.ce.

Additionally, there were the two vans gifted by Jang Seo-yeon, but they were used by his secretary and security guards for business purposes. Hayun also used the van when she went out.

Han Yeon-soo sighed and got up from the couch.

“Then I will be going now.”

“You aren’t even staying for a meal. Are you busy?”

"I am a bit busy these days. Many sovereigns are waging war thanks to the Second Demon King. This area is quiet thanks to you, but there is a rampage elsewhere.”

Hardis and Zenith weren’t the only sovereigns who had fallen to the Second Demon King.

Kang-jun suddenly asked,

"Does it matter if they broke the rules of the red moon?”

"It does matter. Originally, they were going to be judged by the leaders of Hwanmong. However, they don’t have the capacity to do so now that there is the war with the Second Demon King. The Second Demon King is hoping that many sovereigns die in the meantime.”

“I see.”

Kang-jun called Jang Seo-yeon to find out the situation of his allied sovereigns.

Fortunately, they were all safe and sound.

After that, Kang-jun studied until it was time to enter Hwanmong.

He wasn’t reading books.

He was meditating and remembering the last attack that the black-haired man used at the Guardian Hall.

It was an absolute attack that could only be stopped once he reached the level of transcendence!

Honestly, right now, he wasn’t interested in anything other than that.

[The door to Hwanmong is open.]

He went back to Hwanmong.

A messenger from 1st Commander Binhaim appeared as soon as he arrived at the base.

Kang-jun delegated his new territories to Keirun and headed straight for the battlefield.

After a while, at Lucan's base...

The tired looking Binhaim welcomed Kang-jun as soon as he appeared.

“Oh! Welcome, 7th Commander.”

Then Binhaim’s eyes widened as he saw Kang-jun. He also noticed that Kang-jun’s atmosphere has changed.

“Amazing. Did you receive really good luck in the Guardian Hall?”

"It seems so.”

Kang-jun smiled. There was no need to tell him the details of the process.

“Anyway, it is good. Now that the Second Demon King, his top three commanders and superior officers have come out, we are being pushed a little bit.”

"Didn’t we originally have the advantage?”

"We did but the Second Demon King has released a lot of prisoners that he had kept in the Aok. He said he will forgive their sins if they partic.i.p.ate in this war.”

The number of army officers at the lord level had increased.

There were quite a few advanced lords.

"So, I want you to take care of some of them. If our troops are exhausted, we might be pushed back to the base. Please get rid of the dark mermen in the air above the forest.”

“I understand.”

Mermen with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish.

All their fins and scales were black, so they were called dark mermen.

The dark mermen were estimated to be lord grade and there was an average of 1,000 dark mermen in the air.

They flew like birds in the sky and fired arrows and magic, causing damage to the allies fighting near Lucan’s base.

‘I’ll have to get rid of the lord there.’

Kang-jun equipped the Ghoul Lord’s Heavy Armour and the Vampire Lord’s sword, then flew over Lucan’s base.

At that moment, he received Mission 18.

[Mission 18] Destroy the dark merman lord.

[Compensation] Experience, 25,000 nodes, 180 large moonstones

It was a mission to destroy the dark merman lord.

The missions always got more and more difficult. Therefore, the dark merman lord must be stronger than the dark mage, Driana, who had been the target of Mission 17. 

Of course, it was just compensation for Kang-jun.

‘Thanks for giving me this mission.’

He immediately headed to where the dark merman lord was.

Swiiik!

It was more accurate to call it s.p.a.ce movement, not flying.

His sword flashed and the dark merman lord was cut in half.
