Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 49:
Chapter 49: Evil Lair (1)
Lights flashed from the spheres as they continued talking .
"Kikiki! Decide carefully, Sovereign Lucan! As soon as you refuse, 200 creatures will turn into your enemies . But if you give us 10,000 nodes, we can be friends . ”
"Kukuku! We can be either friends or enemies . The moment you become our enemy, we will give information about you to another sovereign . ”
Then a message appeared .
[Do you want to accept the kajels’ offer? Yes/No]
[If you accept, your friendship with the kajels will rise but charisma will permanently drop by 1 . ]
Kang-jun had no intention of giving 10,000 nodes in response to their threats .
Furthermore, charisma would permanently decrease by one and that wasn’t worth it .
Still, it would be a problem if they told other sovereigns about Kang-jun .
At that moment, Keirun appeared and spoke to him .
(Lord! Don’t accept . It is just a plot . They are always trying something like this . Once you donate to them, they will keep using pretexts to rake in more money . In the beginning, some sovereigns escape from a crisis with the help . In the end, the sovereigns would be robbed of everything . )
Kang-jun just laughed coldly .
(I wasn’t thinking of accepting their offer . I will just get rid of them before they tell another sovereign . )
At that time, the spherical bodies once again threatened Kang-jun .
“Sovereign Lucan! Are you going to make this easy or difficult? If you receive our help then you will be in a better position than other sovereigns . ”
"Kikiki! Only 10,000 nodes! Just promise to give it to us . If you don’t have the money right now, you can pay some of it later . ”
Instead of replying, Kang-jun sent a look towards Germuz .
'You take the one on the left . I’ll go to the right!’
Germuz noticed quickly . He immediately ran with all his power towards the sphere on the left .
Kung kung kung kung!
Like a long jump athlete, Germuz jumped into the air . Like a lightning bolt, he grabbed one of the spheres and ripped off the tentacles .
Wooduk! Oduduk!
“Kuoook! H-How dare you!”
The sphere tried to breathe out fire from its mouth . However, Germuz had already seen that attack and slammed the sphere against the ground .
Kwatang!
“Kukuk! I won’t be hit by another fire . ”
Bam bam bam -
The sphere turned into a lump of meat and went limp from the merciless barrage of attacks .
Thus, one sphere died .
In the meantime, Kang-jun had used Heavenly Cut against the other sphere .
“Kuook! Y-you will see soon, Lucan . . . ! You will regret today’s decision . All the sovereigns nearby will find out about you . . . ”
The spherical body cursed Kang-jun and disappeared .
Kang-jun stared after it with a grim expression .
"They can’t just come from nowhere . I need to find that place so I can chase him . ”
They had come back after being killed last time, so he couldn’t feel relieved .
Keirun nodded .
"Their lair can’t be too far . I will look for them . "
At those words, his eyes started to shine weirdly .
[The military adviser Keirun has activated the skill ‘Navigation . ’]
[The search has succeeded . ]
[The lair of the kajels will be displayed on the map . ]
The 3D map showing the nearby terrain appeared in front of Kang-jun .
There were numerous buildings .
One of the buildings had dark red smoke coming from it .
Keirun smiled with satisfaction and said .
"Right over there . Kwangho building!"
"That is surprisingly close . But how did you find this?”
Kang-jun was amazed by Keirun’s power . Keirun laughed .
“Huhu, if I can’t do something like this then how am I qualified to be the military adviser? I will show you more things in the future . ”
"Okay, I will look forward to it . ”
The Kwangho building had eight floors and was located in front of the Eco and Dain buildings occupied by Kang-jun .
The tallest building that Kang-jun occupied was the seven storey Dain Building where Germuz was the boss . Now it was time to capture a taller building .
Kang-jun examined his subordinates .
"Keirun, I will go there . All of you should listen well to Germuz’s words . ”
Then Keirun said .
“Lord! If you go alone then you might suffer from their magic . I think you should go with Germuz . Germuz will sufficiently cover your back . ”
Then Germuz laughed .
"Kuahahaha! It is like the military adviser said . Lord! Please take me . ”
In fact, Germuz was polite to Kang-jun but rude to Keirun .
Keirun just gave a unique smile .
The moment Germuz saw the smile, he felt like Keirun was somehow ignoring him .
Of course, Keirun never ignored Germuz . Rather, he was cheerful about the additional power .
Germuz still didn’t like Keirun for some reason . It was a type of complex animosity .
Germuz felt opposed to anyone else in a position of power . But now he felt slightly better towards Keirun . Keirun laughed as he looked at Germuz .
'Heh, he is a big and simple guy . ’
Keirun was proficient in dealing with people like Germuz . It wasn’t because of his talent as a military adviser, but his experience in Hwanmong .
‘Even though his attitude might be hostile at first, he is okay once you get close to him . ’
Rather, the one that was difficult to be friendly with was Rodiam .
Rodiam looked like a cute cat on the surface but he didn’t easily give his heart to anyone .
However, he was never rude to Keirun who was the military adviser . He would just maintain the distance in his heart .
Of course, this was the case with Keirun .
Only Kang-jun could win the hearts of monsters such as Germuz and Rodiam .
It was the strongest ability that Kang-jun had .
His charisma was high enough to even capture the heart of Keirun, who was experienced in Hwanmong .
At that time, Rodiam rushed in front of Kang-jun .
“Lord! Take me too, ong . I will use heal, ong . ”
"Heal? You can use healing magic?”
"The power isn’t very good but it will be helpful when fighting monsters, ong . ”
Then Rodiam stretched out his hands and recited the spell .
A bright light emerged from Rodiam’s hands and wrapped around Kang-jun .
[You have received a recovery aura . ]
[3 health points will be restored every second . ]
[It will last for 15 seconds . ]
“Oh!”
Kang-jun exclaimed after seeing the messages .
45 points in 15 seconds! It was better than an inferior health potion .
Especially since he didn’t have the time to drink potions when encountering a strong boss . It would be very reassuring if Rodiam was with him .
"Okay . That will be helpful . ”
Kang-jun patted Rodiam’s head . Rodiam was in a good mood and rubbed his cheeks against Kang-jun’s hand .
"Leave it to me, ong . ”
“Then let’s go . ”
Kang-jun headed to the Kwangho building with Germuz and Rodiam . Then something popped into his mind and he stopped walking .
"Oh, wasn’t there a scroll last time?”
"This scroll? I held it for Lord . ”
Keirun pulled out the scroll that he had forgotten about . Kang-jun received it .
[Shining Scroll]
It was the scroll that dropped when Germuz killed the orcs .
'What will come out?’
It would be useful if it was a combat skill like Heavenly Cut .
That was the reason why Kang-jun stopped for the scroll before going to fight the monsters .
However, something unexpected came out when he opened the scroll .
[You can interfere with the business of a hostile sovereign . Once this skill is used, customers won’t easily gather in the target area . . . ]
[You have learnt the skill ‘Drive Away Customers (Inferior) . ]
"Drive Away Customers?”
Kang-jun was disappointed . Of course, management skills were useful in reality but he currently wanted combat skills .
However, Keirun was actually glad .
“Lord! Don’t be disappointed . Drive Away Customers is a very important skill . At first it isn’t very good . But if the rating is raised, you can deal a huge blow to the enemy sovereign . "
Kang-jun smiled .
"Then I'm glad . How do I raise the rating? Do I need to use the management skill a lot?”
"Yes, it is much faster when using it in related fields . And if you’re not in the field or hunting monsters, reading will give extraordinary benefits . ”
"Reading?"
Kang-jun asked incredulously . Keirun spoke with a firm expression .
"In the meantime, Lord couldn’t afford it because there was no money . Now that there is a foundation, we can delegate the chores and businesses to trustworthy people . ”
"Delegate?”
"Yes, it is important to recruit talented people . Don’t forget to read . ”
"Okay . On that note . I will be going now . ”
"Yes, Lord! Be careful . ”
The military adviser Keirun’s advice . Meanwhile, Kang-jun was thinking it over in his head .
Finding talented people to take care of business!
Kang-jun had never thought about it . It would be a good idea to hire talented people in reality .
Anyway, that was something he would worry about when he exited this world .
Kang-jun arrived at the Kwangho building .
[Kwangho building is the territory of the kajels . ]
Do you want to enter? Yes/No]
‘Yes! Enter . ’
As always, there was a barrier . At the same time, some slime-like monsters emerged from the ground .
Slime . Kang-jun swung his sword at them .
"I will take care of them while you smash the barrier!”
"Yes, please leave it to me . "
Germuz started using the barrier as a punching bag .
Kwang kwang! Kwang kwang kwang kwang!
The barrier around the eight storey building was quickly smashed by Germuz’s enormous power .
Meanwhile, all the slimes had been killed by Kang-jun .
[Mission 10] Occupy the Kwangho building and defeat the kajels!
-Compensation: Experience, 3000 nodes, 10 Essence of Darkness
A mission appeared .
At the same time, ugly slimes appeared on the 1st floor .
“Kuwaaaaaah! Kill!”
Germuz roared and rushed forward . Rodiam had transformed into the minotaur .
The monsters on the 1st floor were easy so there was no need for Rodiam’s healing .
“Kuwaaaaaah!”
“Kuwaaaaaahong!”
A minotaur and ogre were on either side of me .
Of course, he wasn’t a real minotaur but he still caused fear .
[12 nodes have been gained . ]
[18 nodes have been gained . ]
[One Essence of Darkness has been acquired . ]
[13 nodes have been gained . ]
He got money and japtem .
'This is great . But I can’t stay still . ’
At this rate, he would lose all his experience to them .
Kang-jun was about to rush towards the monsters as well .
“Hoh! An ogre and a transformed minotaur . It is quite decent . ”
A voice was suddenly heard from behind him .
Who was it?
Kang-jun was startled and looked back .
A mysterious woman with blue hair was there .
However, the red wings on her back indicated that she wasn’t human .
Of course, not being human didn’t necessarily mean she was evil .
“Who are you?”
The woman laughed .
"Lotuna . ”
"Lotuna?”
"Don’t be afraid, little sovereign . I just went for for a walk because I was bored . ”
She approached the wary Kang-jun .
"Ohuhut . . . ! How about it? Should I help you out?”
Kang-jun was instantly dazzled by her smile .
“Hohohoho!"
He felt a strange urge to embrace Lotuna . A pulse was suddenly released in his body .
‘Ugh! What is this?’
It was obvious . She had used something on him!
‘Heavenly Cut!’
Kang-jun reflexively used his skill .
Flash! Chwaack!
The feeling of cutting something . Lotuna stepped back in surprise .
'Only a light scratch?’
Kang-jun was startled .
The skill that split apart the kajels only gave her a light scratch!
Flash! Flash!
Kang-jun didn’t spare his black magic energy and used it continuously .
Pak! Seokeok!
He missed once . The second hit!
This time it seemed like she was cut properly . One of Lotuna’s wings was severed by Heavenly Cut .
"Ugh! This is ridiculous!”
Lotuna stepped back with an expression of astonishment . Kang-jun didn’t miss this chance .
"Just die!”
The Warrior’s Sword flashed . Lotuna panicked and faded away .
