Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 9:
New Beginning (1)
What was its true identity?
A bizarre appearance couldn’t possibly exist in reality .
“Kuaaaah! Kikikiki!”
It rushed up to Kang-jun with a club in its hand .
Hwing! Hwiing!
He had to avoid it in the narrow hallway . Then Kang-jun suddenly smiled .
‘Wait! I don’t need to avoid it . I can absorb its strength . ’
The power that targeted thugs and bullies in reality! Naturally that ability would be effective here .
Kang-jun immediately glared at the rat head monkey . But there was an unexpected message .
[Invalid target . ]
[The black magic energy is unable to be absorbed . ]
“What? Why not?”
Why was it the wrong target?
However, now wasn’t the time to be worrying about such things . The club was mercilessly heading towards him .
Kang-jun hurriedly stepped back . Then the rat head monkey gained more momentum and jumped at him .
“Kiaaah!”
It struck down with the club as it jumped into the air .
At that moment, Kang-jun’s feet kicked at the rat head monkey’s wrist that was holding the club . His right foot then struck the rat head monkey’s abdomen .
Peok –
“Kek!”
The rat head monkey screamed and ran back .
‘No big deal . ’
Kang-jun was still a taekwondo 3rd dan despite the sluggish state of his body . In particular, his two feet were now working so he was fine against the dwarf-sized monster . He couldn’t absorb the black magic energy but could still attack it directly .
“Kwaaaaah!”
Then another rat head monkey popped out from Room 413 .
Hwing! Sswiing!
A barrage of strikes from the club!
Kang-jun stepped back and avoided it .
The rat head monkey that jumped at him also came back .
A two against one situation!
Kang-jun didn’t panic . He had panicked at first from their strange appearance .
However, the way they wielded the clubs was simple so they were only a small threat . It was like two elementary school children holding sticks . They also certainly had the build of elementary school children .
“Kuaaaah!”
In the meantime, one of the rat head monkeys leapt into the air and brandished its club .
Swiik!
The club headed towards his head!
Kang-jun lightly bent his head and avoided it . He spun around at the same time and kicked out with his left foot .
Peok –
The left foot accurately hit the stomach of the rat head monkey .
“Keek!”
This time the kick had all his weight in it . A blow that even adults would find difficult to tolerate!
Kang-jun turned his left foot again and aimed it at the other rat head monkey rushing over .
Pak!
“Kuwek!”
One flew five metres while the other one was at Kang-jun’s feet .
‘It hasn’t died yet . ’
Kang-jun prepared again for another strike .
Bam! Bam bam!
Kang-jun’s fist struck the head of the rat head monkey without any mercy .
“Kuwaaack!”
[Experience has been gained . ]
[3 nodes have been gained . ]
Kang-jun confirmed that he received experience and ran towards the other rat head monkey without any delay .
Bam bam bam –
“Kuwek!”
It collapsed after a few successive hits .
[Experience has been gained . ]
[4 nodes have been gained . ]
Just like a game, he acquired experience from killing the monsters .
Lv . 1 (Exp 20 . 00%)
He had 20% experience in his status window .
The rat head monkeys gave 10% experience each . It meant he would level up if he killed eight more .
‘By the way, what are nodes?’
Kang-jun had acquired 7 nodes from getting rid of the rat head monkeys .
[Nodes are currency that is only available in the world of Hwanmong . ]
[Gaining more nodes will allow you to wage war . ]
‘Money . ’
He didn’t need to make it complicated . Like a game, experience and money could be obtained from monsters . He would know how much value 7 nodes had later .
Suuk .
Kang-jun picked up one of the clubs that the rat head monkeys were holding .
‘A weapon would be good to reduce my stamina consumption . ’
70cm in length . The shape was reminiscent of a club .
‘Light in weight but pretty hard . ’
Fortunately, he managed to avoid being hit and didn’t feel any pain .
“Kuaaaah!”
“Kikikiki!”
Meanwhile, two rat head monkeys popped out .
‘Again from Room 413! Why do they keep coming out from there?’
Was it a monster lair?
Wait! Did all of them use blunt weapons?
Piing –
The terrible sound of the wind separating .
‘Heok!’
An arrow was right before him! If Kang-jun hadn’t tilted his head sideways then the arrow would have pierced the crown of his head .
Surprisingly, the rat head monkeys were holding bows in their hands .
‘Damn! Shooting a bow!’
He was really lucky . He managed to avoid a flying arrow . Perhaps it was the power of good luck . If so, he did really well in making a decision to increase good luck .
But now wasn’t the time to be pleased . Another rat head monkey had fired an arrow!
Piing –
This time he was too late and it pierced his left forearm, causing blood to pour down .
“Ugh! Shit!”
Kang-jun trembled .
Why did he have to suffer a pain like this? How could he imagine being hit by an arrow? An arrow, not a sword!
His good luck didn’t work twice in a row .
“Oooh…!”
The pain from the arrow! Usually he didn’t feel pain in his dreams, but this was Hwanmong . He would feel the same pain as reality .
“Kikikik!”
“Kyakyaaah!”
Kang-jun staggered forward as the rat head monkeys prepared to fire arrows again .
‘Euh! Those guys!’
Kang-jun clenched his teeth .
There was no time to hesitate . How could he be hit by more arrows?
Kang-jun suddenly remembered a saying .
‘You will lose everything if you are defeated . In particular, defeat in the world of Hwanmong means certain death…!’
‘Don’t forget . If you don’t want to become a corpse like me, beholden to the power of Hwanmong, then listen to my words today and don’t ever forget…’
That’s right . It wasn’t a mere dream .
Death here would mean real death . He had goose bumps just thinking about it .
“Oduk! I can’t allow it . ”
Kang-jun ignored the pain in his left arm and wielded the club while rushing forward .
Bam! Bam!
“Kek!”
“Kuweek!”
One person in the room!
The heads of the rat head monkeys were smashed .
[Experience has been gained . ]
[4 nodes have been gained . ]
[Experience has been gained . ]
[4 nodes have been gained . ]
“Phew!”
Kang-jun breathed out .
