Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 93:
Chapter 93: Will to Fight (2)
Kang-jun asked her,
"Does the strengthening of my wings hurt you that much?”
“Bah! My stomach hurts! What are you looking at?”
"That’s what I wanted to ask you . ”
Heksia blew smoke out and looked at Kang-jun .
“Yes . Honestly, it hurts . ”
"I didn’t fail once but twice, so why are you hurting?”
"I failed more than 20 times . It took me precisely 24 times to successfully strengthen it to Stage 4 . ”
“ . . . . . . !”
Kang-jun thought he heard wrongly . She took 24 tries to successfully reach Stage 4 .
“Then that means you failed 23 times?”
"Of course, I am a rare case . Usually, most people successfully reach Stage 4 on the 10th attempt . It is very rare for someone to be as unlucky as me . Yet you said that it only took you three times?”
Heksia made an extremely hateful expression but Kang-jun just shrugged . Heksia stared at Kang-jun .
"Change your position and think about it . What if you had barely succeeded in 24 attempts while I only took three tries?”
"I would burst . ”
"Yes and I don’t have the Wings of Chaos like you . I have the Wings of Enchantment . I can only fill the power of the wings with the Essence of Enchantment . The Essence of Enchantment is difficult to obtain because the dimensional merchants don’t deal with large quantities . ”
Just listening made him feel bleak . Not only did the Essence of Enchantment not appear often, but he would want to rip off his wings if he failed 23 times .
Kang-jun might have really done that if he was in this situation . Heksia seemed to be having a mental breakdown as she held the cigarette .
She then spoke with a sulky expression .
"But Stage 5 is worse . So far, I have tried it 36 times and still failed . ”
“36 times!”
Kang-jun’s mouth dropped open . Heksia laughed bitterly .
"I’ve virtually given up . I’ve filled up the power of the wings again but I haven’t attempted to upgrade it . That is why I want a heart . ”
"Why do you want a heart?”
"A heart will strengthen the odds of an upgrade succeeding . ”
A lord’s heart had such a purpose?
“Is that really the case?”
“I’ve been hearing this for a long time but I didn’t actually believe it . However, one of the army commanders I know just recently succeeded in strengthening it to Stage 5 . I heard he used one heart and 1,000 moonstones before strengthening . "
"The heart and moonstones were used as sacrifices . ”
“Yes . I’ve collected the moonstones so I just need a heart . ”
Heksia seemed to believe it . Kang-jun made a confused sound .
‘Does it really work?’
In a game, there would be all sorts of buffs and potions that could be used . It was strengthen the probability of an upgrade succeeding .
However, it might only be a misunderstanding and have nothing to do with the wings upgrade succeeding .
It might just be due to luck .
Still, he decided to keep his eyes open .
If Heksia’s words were true, then he would have to collect more moonstones in the future .
Heksia stared at Kang-jun .
"Lucan! Perhaps you are lucky enough to get a heart . If you bring it to me, I will seriously consider your offer . ”
"Really?"
"It must be a pure heart that has never been mounted to a skill . That is the only way it will work . ”
Heksia said with a serious voice .
Kang-jun’s eyes widened with surprise .
According to Heksia’s words, if he brought her a heart, she would join his household members .
However, it needed to be a pure heart that hadn’t been mounted on a skill .
Of course, he didn’t want to remove a heart that was already attached to his skill .
It was because the power of his enhanced skills would be greatly reduced when the hearts were removed .
It was silly when he needed to go to the Bloody Battlefield .
“Heksia, I will get you a heart . Don’t forget your promise . ”
“Of course . ”
Heksia flicked her hair and laughed . She still had the cigarette in her mouth but her face was brighter than before .
Chuuuot!
Then the magic circle shone and someone appeared .
It was Commander Grania from the 438th Army . She turned to Kang-jun and shook his hands .
"You're here, Lucan . ”
The last time, she had left after Kang-jun offended her . However, now it seemed like her attitude had returned to normal .
Kang-jun smiled at her .
"I thought you didn’t want to see my face for a while but it is good . ”
"Did you come to see me?”
"Of course . I am interested in you . ”
Grania scoffed at Kang-jun .
“Bah! What? Are you talking about that again? You still haven’t given up . ”
"I won’t give up . ”
“Okay, then win against me . ”
“Huh?”
Kang-jun stared at Grania with amazement .
"I don’t want a lord weaker than I am . ” Lucan, if you defeat me, I will consider your offer seriously . ”
If he won the duel, she would become his household member .
“Okay . Then shall we move to the training room?”
Kang-jun nodded easily .
Of course, he wasn’t sure that he could defeat her .
He just had to see the results once .
If he defeated her, she would join him . If he lost, he could see how lacking he was compared to her .
He would raise his level on the Bloody Battlefield and keep on challenging until he won .
However, Grania’s eyes widened with surprise when Kang-jun wanted to fight immediately . She thought that Kang-jun would avoid a duel .
"Heh, I like that attitude . However, I am a little busy today, so we will duel next time . Heksia, please come help me . I need your help because the battle is a little heated . ”
“Yes . ”
Heksia nodded .
"So, I will defeat you next time, Lucan!”
"Don't forget the heart . "
They entered the magic circle and disappeared .
Kang-jun smiled .
'Good . ’
Heksia would join him if he brought her a heart and with Grania, he needed to defeat her in a duel .
He just wasn’t sure if he would win in a duel with Grania .
There was no guarantee of victory, so he needed to raise his level as much as possible .
He stopped at the Defense Army’s headquarters and headed for the Bloody Battlefield .
After a few moments, he arrived on the Bloody Battlefield .
When Kang-jun appeared at the magic circle that signified the safety zone, Andras and Agnus approached him . They instantly welcomed Lucan .
"Lucan! You did well . Would you like to move in a party with us?”
Agnus was the one who offered . She had created a party with Andras, Damas and Fade .
Kang-jun shook his head .
"I'm sorry but I’m more comfortable alone . ”
“Then it can't be helped . ”
Agnus was disappointed but she didn’t offer twice .
“Then we’ll be going first . ”
"Be careful . ”
"You too . "
Agnus and the others spread their wings open and soared up .
‘They still haven’t given up . ’
Kang-jun thought that Agnus and the others wouldn’t come back here .
However, they showed up today .
The rewards were too attractive so they couldn’t give up .
‘Then shall I go as well?’
Kang-jun flew upwards immediately .
The Bloody Battlefield was an autonomous battle system .
Sometimes the top 12 army commanders would cooperate if there was an operation, but most times it required facing the enemy alone .
Of course, it might be a good idea to move in a team . However, Kang-jun was more comfortable alone .
Hwiiik!
As he drifted on the winds for a while, he could see Agnus, Andras and the others fighting a group of monsters .
Other army commanders and soldiers were in the area, so it was a fairly safe place .
If the need arose, they could then retreat from the monsters .
However, Kang-jun flew further away from them .
He stopped when there didn’t seem to be any allies in the area .
‘I will stop here today . ’
He couldn’t go too deeply into enemy territory just yet .
It was too dangerous .
His greed would be in vain if he was surrounded by enemies and killed .
Kang-jun looked at the forest below him . There was a shining hole between the monsters .
It was one of the Aoks that he saw yesterday .
'That's great . I’ll have to get rid of the monsters to open the Aok . ’
He was glad that there weren’t any lord level monsters nearby, just middle-sized ones .
As soon as Kang-jun descended towards the forest, the monsters headed towards him .
“Kikikiki!”
"Kukukuk!”
Monsters with body armour!
Bones could be seen through the armour!
‘They are skeletons . ’
The bones were surrounded by a **** aura .
They weren’t the usual undead, but skeleton warriors with a very strong combat power .
However, they fell down helplessly when Kang-jun swung his sword .
Pak! Papak!
One by one, they collapsed . There was no need to use a skill as dozens of skeletons were turned into dust .
His damage had increased significantly due to his wings reaching Stage 4 .
In no time at all, he could no longer see any skeletons in the vicinity .
‘It was so simple . ’
It was the feeling of a high level person massacring low level monsters .
The experience wasn’t very good but he was glad when one achievement point was received .
[Will you open the Aok? Yes/No]
‘Yes!’
Kang-jun opened the Aok and entered .
Unlike the place where Sud was, this prison was quite large .
It was an open space . There was a well in the centre and a hut-like house on one side .
However, the well had dried up .
There was also nothing when he looked inside the house .
There were just unknown letters written on the dirty floor .
(Lord, the one in here is dead . )
The demon Sud spoke . He was also searching the Aok from Kang-jun’s shadows .
"Dead?"
(Yes, I can tell by looking at the Aok prison . They were unable to stand the loneliness and killed themselves . The remains are so completely destroyed that even the ashes don’t remain . It isn’t uncommon in Aoks . )
"I see . ”
Kang-jun nodded .
He had already heard it from Keirun .
There were many cases where an Aok might be empty .
“It can’t be helped . We have to go . ”
It was at that moment . . .
(Lord, wait a minute . There seems to be something buried under the ground . )
Sud exclaimed hurriedly .
"Then search for it slowly . ”
It was like when he had found the Essence of Darkness . Kang-jun didn’t leave and waited .
Then a message emerged immediately .
[Sud has discovered a Dimensional Piece in the Aok . ]
'Dimensional Piece?’
This was what he used to create the Dimensional Shelter .
It was the gem stuck in the ring that Naga Queen Melinad had been wearing .
He didn’t think such a rare item would be found here .
(Lord! A Dimensional Piece . It was hidden but it looks like my senses aren’t rusty . )
"Well done . Thanks for the trouble . "
Kang-jun was in a good mood . Entering this Aok hadn’t been a waste .
However, there was a 10-meter tall monster waiting for Kang-jun after he exited the Aok .
"Kukukuku!”
Those blazing eyes . Bloody bones were visible through the flashing black armour .
'Skeleton?’
He was clearly the lord of the skeletons from earlier .
"Kukuku! I heard that someone had boldly entered my realm alone . ”
The skeleton lord’s hands were holding a giant shield and sword .
Swiik! Sswik!
The sword was at least four meters long and aimed at him . Kang-jun avoided it lightly and attacked the skeleton lord’s body .
‘Heavenly Cut!’
Flash - Paak!
Nevertheless, the breastplate of the skeleton lord wasn’t even dented .
"Kukuku! It is no use . Nothing can penetrate my magic armour . ”
The skeleton lord laughed and moved his shield .
Bam!
“Ugh!”
The shield moved at a tremendous speed but Kang-jun blocked it with his sword .
Kang-jun was pushed back .
However, he flew forward like the wind and swung his sword .
‘Heavenly Cut!’
Flash!
The skeleton lord blocked it with his shield .
Kakakaang!
Kang-jun aimed the skill at a gap in the skeleton lord’s torso .
Paak!
However, it only left a little bit of imperfection in the skeleton lord’s breastplate .
‘Damn!’
It was impossible to win against the skeleton lord even if he aimed precisely at the gap .
'Okay . Then I should try it once . ’
An intense light shone in Kang-jun’s eyes .
‘Will to Fight!’
It was the skill that awakened when Wings of Chao reached Stage 4 and it had the effect of ignoring the opponent’s defense .
Kang-jun avoided the skeleton lord’s sword and once again used a skill .
‘Heavenly Cut!’
Flash! Kwaang!
At that moment, a loud sound rang in his eardrums . The skeleton lord was pushed backwards and fell down .
