Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 60:
Chapter 60: Ghoul Lord (4)
"Um . . . ”
"Have you regained consciousness?”
Heksia got up and frowned as she touched her neck .
"Ugh! That hurts! That **** bit me . ”
She grumbled .
“I nearly died, damn!”
"But would there be a punishment if you died?”
"No punishment . I have some burdens . ”
“You don’t have to worry about achievements so what is your burden?”
"It is embarrassing . ”
She would be embarrassed . That was her simple reason .
Heksia saw Kang-jun’s dumbfounded expression and said .
"A commander dying and needing to be revived . Do you know how long the sovereigns will make fun of me? Fortunately, I lived thanks to Lucan . ”
With those words, she waved her hands . At the moment, 10 potions appeared in front of Kang-jun .
"Take these advanced ones . They aren’t much use for me . ”
Kang-jun didn’t refuse . He received 10 advanced potions that could restore 300 health points . Of course, he received so much because she was the commander .
Heksia took out some more advanced potions, drank one and poured the rest on her wounds .
Her body was neatly restored . The bruises and scars disappeared, with her wings regaining that mysterious red light .
Of course, her clothing and hair were still a mess .
Yet that was all cleaned up in a flash .
Her matted hair was instantly arranged when she ran her fingers through it . Her dirty clothes were also cleaned as her hands moved over them .
Heksia returned to her original appearance and smirked like nothing had happened .
"I look like myself now . By the way, where is that ghoul lord?”
“Dead . ”
"Don’t tell me that you killed it?”
"Who else is here besides me?”
Kang-jun grinned . Heksia looked amazed .
"No matter how close he was to death, it wouldn’t have been easy with your skills . ”
Then she suddenly nodded . She remembered the skill that Kang-jun had used against her clone in the past .
“Yes . It is possible if you use that skill . I am curious . Can I ask for the name of that skill?”
"The skill is called Heavenly Cut . ”
Heksia shook her head .
“Heavenly Cut . . . ? This is the first time I’ve heard of it . The skill name isn’t important . Perhaps it is advanced swordsmanship . If not, it wouldn’t have been able to damage my clone . ”
"Are advanced skills that great?”
Kang-jun was suddenly curious . In fact, Heavenly Cut came from the Heaven’s Blood Sword Style that was a high class swordsmanship . Heksia nodded .
"Intermediate ranks are many times stronger than low ranks . However, the advanced rank is on another dimension from the intermediate rank . It will be easy for you to reach advanced level as an sovereign . ”
"It will be easy?”
“You have the skill Heavenly Cut . It has the ability to make far stronger opponents vigilant against you . The power of the skill will become stronger as you level up . So you can easily go up . ”
She continued .
"And at the very top is the high class rank . In terms of supernatural rankings, it is like going to a foreign language high school . ”
"Supernatural?”
“Whether it is magic or swordsmanship, a high class rank is the best of the best . Naturally it would be hard enough to obtain . Unless your luck is incredibly good . ”
He already had a high class skill . Of course, it wasn’t necessary to tell her that .
Heksia smiled .
"Anyway, your level must have become quite high after killing the ghoul lord . ”
"It is thanks to you . I am thankful . ”
It wasn’t flattery . If it wasn’t for Heksia then today’s jackpot would have been impossible .
Them Heksia grumbled .
"I’m envious . I want to level up . I don’t know how long it has been since I’ve levelled up . ”
How high was her level? Kang-jun wanted to ask .
It was at that moment . Heksia started to desperately look around .
“Strange . I thought one would come out . ”
"What are you looking for?”
“The ghoul lord’s golden box!”
"That . . . !"
"Have you seen it? Eh, that armour?”
Kang-jun felt pained . As she said, the black legendary armour he was wearing came from the ghoul lord’s golden box .
In fact, Kang-jun hadn’t caught the ghoul lord alone .
Strictly speaking, Heksia was the one who did the most so the items in the golden box should be distributed with her .
But he had already used the Ghoul Lord’s Heart to strengthen his skill . He could take it off but it would be with a heavy heart .
‘It is evident that the skill is strong . I can’t give it to her . ’
In addition, he had already worn the armour .
Kang-jun said with a somewhat embarrassed look .
"Then I'll give you some moonstones . ”
Heksia laughed as she patted Kang-jun’s shoulder .
“It is okay . This isn’t a big deal for me . Moonstones are quite good but you deserve them for your decisive contribution against the ghoul lord . I just want the heart . ”
H-heart? Kang-jun’s eyes widened . Heksia sighed and flopped to the ground .
"The heart didn’t emerge . I’ve killed hundreds of similar guys so far but it has never dropped . It seems like I’m quite unlucky . Why doesn’t the heart come out, dammit!”
She killed hundreds of guys like the ghoul lord?
It was alarming, but the more surprising thing was that no heart had dropped .
'Is it that rare?’
He had expected it to be great due to the legend rating . However, he didn’t know it was so rare . He thought all the ghoul lord bosses dropped the heart .
‘I shouldn’t say anything . ’
Kang-jun had no intention of opening his mouth . He couldn’t let her know about the heart .
Looking at Heksia’s current reaction, there was no way of knowing what she might do .
“Oh! Bloody heart! Heart! Why can’t I get a heart?”
Heksia kept on complaining about the heart . Kang-jun felt a slight **** to his conscience and asked .
“Do you need the heart for something?”
"Rather than a necessity, it is just a collectible . ”
"Collectible?”
"It can strengthen skills but I have something better . ”
“Then why do you want to collect it?”
"It is just a hobby . "
"Ah, hobby . "
Kang-jun nodded . A hobby . He thought there was a great reason, but it was just a hobby .
A must-have survival item for him was just someone else’s hobby .
'I don’t mind anymore . ’
He hadn’t thought about giving it away, but he still wanted to know the reason for Heksia’s desire . He had worried about getting a heart from another boss .
But that disappeared after hearing that she wanted to collect it for a hobby .
At that moment, Heksia looked at Kang-jun and suddenly asked .
"Lucan, are you lucky?”
“Lucky?”
Kang-jun laughed bitterly .
In fact, he tried playing the lottery and only ever won the 5th place prize . He never once picked up money from the side of the road .
Was that all? His parents died early and Kang-jun was crippled after a hit-and-run car accident .
He never got good items when playing games . When hunting in a party, he always got a lower number when rolling the dice for a good item .
If he had to grade his luck, he was set it as the lowest grade .
However, that changed a lot after entering Hwanmong and becoming a sovereign .
He didn’t know if it was because of his good luck stat .
But the atmosphere around Heksia didn’t make it easy to answer . She might suspect that he received the heart .
"I don't know . ”
"You received the Heavenly Cut skill so I think that you are lucky . But I’m not lucky . Bah! This is really an unfair world! I hate lucky people the most . ”
Kang-jun just laughed .
"Isn’t being born as a demon or dragon equal to having tremendously good luck? How miserable and unlucky do you think those who are born as orcs, ghouls or slimes are?”
“ . . . . . . ”
Heksia was bemused by Kang-jun’s words . Kang-jun said it casually but she had never thought about it before .
"You have really strange ideas . ”
“I guess so . Who would want to be born as an orc or slime? They have no luck at all . After they are born, they probably spend a lifetime hoping to be killed . ”
"It is very rare but there are some orcs that are stronger than dragons . Among the slimes, there are some who will become strong enough to hit a demon . ”
"How many of those guys are there? One in several million?”
"Poop! Indeed . I would commit suicide if I was born as an orc or slime . ”
She sent Kang-jun a stern look and sighed . Someone who was born with a golden spoon couldn’t understand a life like his .
"People have to adapt to the life they are born with . I am also like that . Anyway, you were born to a powerful species so that is great luck . ”
"I have great luck?”
"An orc or slime would have to do everything they could to survive after being born . But you don’t . You were lucky from birth . ”
Heksia was silent for a moment before nodding .
“Thank you . It is a little comforting . ”
Then she suddenly approached and kissed him .
A soft tongue moved around his mouth .
What the, this? She suddenly kissed him?
After a while, Heksia withdrew and laughed .
“It is a sign of gratitude . You have saved my life and comforted me . ”
Kang-jun nodded because his face was hot .
"That was the meaning? I understand . ”
There was no reason to hate being kissed by a beautiful woman like Heksia . It was also a sign of gratitude .
Heksia then whispered .
"I can give you more, but that is for later . ”
More? What did she mean?
Heksia went back to her original position .
"Sovereign Lucan, you went through a lot of trouble today . Destroying the Jewel of Darkness and surviving to the end, all the achievements in this war belong to you . Now you will be rewarded . ”
Messages immediately appeared .
[The army’s mission has been completed . ]
[You have survived until the end . ]
[You have earned 30 red moon achievement points . ]
[You have destroyed the Jewel of Darkness . ]
[You have earned 100 red moon achievement points . ]
[You have killed the most ghouls among the survivors . ]
[You have earned 80 red moon achievement points . ]
This added 210 achievement points, giving Kang-jun a total of 410 .
Of course, he could get more achievement points for exchanging moonstones but he kept them in the inventory for now .
[Mission 11 has been accomplished . ]
Kang-jun gained more than 300 achievement points so Mission 11 was completed .
[As a reward, enough experience will be given to increase your level . ]
[4,000 nodes have been given as compensation . ]
[30 small moonstones have been given as compensation . ]
Thanks to that, his level once again rose by one to Lv26 .
The surrounding space started to distort .
[Your time in the world of Hwanmong is over . ]
[The door to Hwanmong is closed . ]
It was time to leave the dream and return to reality .
Kang-jun opened his eyes and woke up .
