Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 50:
Chapter 50: Evil Lair (2)
Supak!
Kang-jun stared at the empty space where the woman had been .
‘She got away?’
Signs of Lotuna couldn’t be seen anywhere . Even the severed wing was gone .
Four consecutive Heavenly Cuts!
It consumed 160 points of black magic energy, yet Lotuna wasn’t killed . Kang-jun felt somewhat despondent .
‘What is with that woman?’
Then Kang-jun found something shiny on the ground .
Lotuna had dropped an item while fleeing .
[Advanced black magic energy potion]
[Restores 300 points of black magic energy . ]
‘Advanced black magic energy potion?’
In the meantime, he had only found the lowest grade potions . All monsters dropped items .
The lowest grade potions recovered 40 points .
A low grade potion recovered 80 points .
And he heard there were intermediate potions but he hadn’t seen them yet .
Yet today he had somehow obtained an advanced potion .
It was able to restore 300 points of black magic energy at once .
'It is too much black magic energy . ’
300 points was double 160 points .
Currently he possessed two low grade black magic energy potions .
'I will leave the advanced potion for an emergency . ’
He had spent a lot of black magic energy fighting Lotuna and now only had 60 points left .
If he wanted to fight a boss, he needed to recover some black magic energy .
Snap! Snap!
Kang-jun pulled out a low grade black magic potion and drank it .
It restored 80 points so he had 140 points of black magic energy left .
'This should be in my pocket . ’
Kang-jun placed the advanced black magic potion in the left pocket of his coat .
It was unusual but he couldn’t feel the weight or size whenever he placed something in his pocket .
It could only contain one item at a time .
He had three outer pockets and two inner pockets on his coat .
And there were four on his pants .
It was a total of nine inventory spots .
Kang-jun filled this inventory with black magic energy and health potions .
Fortunately, nodes or items dropped by monsters would automatically move to the nearest warehouse if Kang-jun didn’t pick them up .
Therefore, Kang-jun only kept a minimum of items in his inventory pockets .
[The 1st floor of the Kwangho building has been occupied . ]
[210 nodes have been gained . ]
[The lowest grade health potion has been obtained . ]
In the meantime, Germuz and Rodiam had occupied the 1st floor and were heading down to the basement .
Kang-jun stayed at the entrance of the building for a while, just in case Lotuna returned .
However, a long time passed and Lotuna didn’t return .
[The basement of the Kwangho building has been occupied . ]
[The Gale Gauntlets (Rare) have been obtained . ]
Germuz and Rodiam finished occupying the basement .
“Lord!”
Germuz immediately ran up to him with something . It was a black, shiny piece of equipment .
[Gale Gauntlets]
-Rating: Rare
-They have a strong durability and won’t break easily .
-Attack speed will increase by 10% .
“Lord! I found these . ”
Germuz handed Kang-jun the Gale Gauntlets with a devoted expression .
‘A rare item?’
They had an option to increase attack speed by 10% when worn .
‘The option is good but I don’t need them . '
Kang-jun previously used gauntlets while fighting, but it was inefficient to wear them after learning Heaven’s Blood Sword Style .
Then Kang-jun saw that Germuz’s gaze was fixed on the gauntlets .
‘Would he like to have this?’
These were a perfect item for Germuz .
Attack speed +10%! That alone would double his combat capabilities .
Kang-jun handed the Gale Gauntlets to Germuz .
"I don’t need them so you wear these . ”
Germuz was startled and waved his hands .
“Ah, no . Something precious like these . . . ”
His eyes were still staring at them with desire .
"It can’t be helped if you don’t accept them . Rodiam, do you want them?”
“Hehe! I will receive them, ong . ”
As Rodiam approached, Germuz was shocked and snatched the gauntlets from Kang-jun’s hands .
“Lord! This weapon isn’t suitable for a cat . I will use them well, Lord . ”
Germuz grinned as he held the gauntlets . Kang-jun just smiled .
"Put them on . ”
“Yes . ”
Germuz threw his old gauntlets on the floor and equipped the Gale Gauntlets .
Chakeok!
The sparkling, black gauntlets looked great .
“How is it?”
"Huhuhu, my power is soaring Lord . ”
Germuz’s eyes became intense . Kang-jun nodded .
"Then shall we head towards the 2nd floor?”
“Yes, Lord!”
Germuz cried out excitedly . On the other hand, Rodiam was annoyed at Germuz .
"Those are mine . Give them to me, nyang . ”
“Kukuk! This cat guy! Follow behind quietly!”
Germuz kept on rubbing his gauntlets . Rodiam formed two tight fists .
“I won’t give them to you, nyang . ”
"They aren’t for you . ”
"They suit me better, nyang . ”
For reference, Rodiam used ‘ong’ as an honorific while ‘nyang’ was for those he thought were lower than himself .
Kang-jun laughed as he saw the huge ogre and small cat arguing with each other .
"What are you doing? Don’t fight and pay attention . ”
“Yes, Lord . ”
“Understood, ong . ”
Germuz and Rodiam regained their focus after Kang-jun’s lecture and immediately rushed towards the 2nd floor .
[The 2nd floor of the Kwangho building has been occupied . ]
[302 nodes have been gained . ]
[The 3rd floor of the Kwangho building has been occupied . ]
[Hardened Leather Coat has been obtained . ]
Germuz was equipped with the Gale Gauntlets! Kang-jun cleared the 2nd and 3rd floors in an instant .
“Lord! An armoured jacket has come out . ”
“Oh! Really?”
Kang-jun was delighted .
[Hardened Leather Coat]
-Rating: General
-An armoured coat made of hard leather . The impact from the enemy’s physical attacks will be reduced .
-Contains eight pockets .
This was an equipment that Kang-jun required . Although it was a general grade item, it gave him more defense than the previous coat and there were three more pockets .
“Huhu, it is okay . ”
Kang-jun immediately wore the leather coat .
Susuk .
In this case, he didn’t need to change clothes like he did in reality .
When he touched the new equipment, it would automatically change and the inventory items would be moved .
The result was that he now had 12 inventory spaces .
[The 4th floor of the Kwangho building has been occupied . ]
[350 nodes have been gained . ]
[The 5th floor of the Kwangho building has been occupied . ]
[428 nodes have been gained . ]
Up to the 5th floor, the number of slimes increased but they weren’t that threatening .
However, the situation changed on the 6th floor .
Suddenly, the slimes started producing flames and poison .
Fortunately, Rodiam continued to use his heal so it wasn’t that difficult .
Unlike when he was fighting, Rodiam used it in a timely manner whenever Germuz and Kang-jun was suffering from poison or the flames .
As he was occupying the 8th floor, Kang-jun rose to Lv18 .
“Now there is only the roof . Smash the door!”
"Yes, Lord! Leave it to me . ”
Kwang! Kwa kwang! Kwaang!
Germuz destroyed the rooftop door with a few smashes .
A large space was revealed .
There was a huge slime that was 10 metres tall .
Kang-jun laughed coldly .
"You were hiding in a place like this?”
"Kukukuku! Fool . Sovereign Lucan! You could have survived if you accepted my offer! You came here to die . ”
Kajel burst out as he sprang up .
His mouth was filled with sharp teeth!
Two spherical bodies popped out from between .
Chuaaak! Chuaaak!
The odd spherical bodies . They were Kajel’s clones .
"Kukukuku! Stupid Lucan! Ready!”
“Kikikik! Kill!”
The spheres shot out flames from their mouths .
“Germuz! You will deal with them . I will handle Kajel directly . ”
“Kukuk! Leave it to me, Lord!”
It wasn’t easy for Germuz to deal with the spherical bodies that were emitting flames .
Still, Germuz had tireless physical strength and prevented them from interfering with Kang-jun .
Kang-jun was fighting with the 10 metre tall slime called Kajel .
“Kakakaka! Little Lord! Now you will realize how dumb it is to go against me . ”
Dozens of tentacles shot out from Kajel’s body towards Kang-jun .
Chwack! Chwack! Chwack chwack chwack!
Kang-jun moved rapidly with Aura of the Wind and cut off the tentacles . Then the severed tentacles turned into small slimes and rushed at Kang-jun .
“Kikiki!”
“Kikik!”
The slimes shot out flames and poison .
'Shit!'
The tentacles acted like living organisms . In addition, they would turn into slimes if they were cut .
‘It won’t end like this . I have to attack the main body . ’
Kang-jun avoided the tentacles and approached Kajel’s body . The number of tentacles suddenly increased and wrapped around Kang-jun .
Kajel had a happy expression on his face .
“Kukakakat! You can’t run away now . I will swallow everything without leaving behind a single bone . ”
Kajel ran forward with his huge mouth gaping open . Kang-jun had no room to avoid it . He was surrounded by tentacles on all sides .
However, Kang-jun had been waiting for this time . The moment that Kajel was about to reach him .
‘Heavenly Cut!’
Flash!
A line formed in front of him .
It seemed like a piercing ray of light .
Kuuong!
It was the end . Half of the giant slime was gone .
Huduk! Hudududuk!
The tentacles that persistently headed towards Kang-jun and the spherical bodies fell down .
"Kkuck! S-so strong! I-I can’t believe it . . . ”
Kajel recoiled . Kang-jun was amazed by the true power of Heavenly Cut .
He had been expecting a fatal wound to a certain extent .
But he hadn’t expected that it would slice Kajel’s huge body in half .
Was this the power of Heaven’s Blood Sword Style?
‘If that is the case?’
Kang-jun felt cold with fright . Lotuna, who he met at the entrance, suddenly crossed his mind .
Kang-jun had used Heavenly Cut against Lotuna four times and only two of them had hit .
Nevertheless, Lotuna had only received a slight injury .
‘The huge Kajel was ended in one blow so what is her identity?’
No matter how he thought about it, something was strange .
“Lord! Look at this . ”
Germuz pointed to something on the ground . Kajel’s massive body shrunk and turned into a slime the size of a child .
He had a bizarre form with no nose, round eyes and a mouth .
"He looks fun, nyang . ”
Bam!
“Kuaak!”
Rodiam started hitting the slime . He noticed Kang-jun and cried out .
“Ohh! Please spare me . ”
“Who are you?”
"As you can see, I am Kajel . ”
“Is this your original appearance?”
"How can that be? My source of power was destroyed by you so I will naturally become weaker . ”
“Hrmm, is that so?”
“Hehe! If you spare me, I will swear my loyalty to you . ”
Kajel laughed subserviently . Kang-jun was cynical .
Kang-jun would accept a strong subordinate .
Their loyalty would become solid after joining .
However, Kang-jun was reluctant to accept someone who couldn’t even tolerate hits from Rodiam .
"Do you know any other sovereigns?”
“I’m not sure . I don’t know . ”
“Then you should die . Rodiam! Get rid of him!”
Rodiam raised his sharp claws and stepped towards Kajel . Kajel hurriedly exclaimed .
"W-wait a minute!"
"Did you remember something?”
"That's not it . . . I really don’t know anything about other sovereigns . I was just trying to intimidate you but it was a lie . ”
“Then I guess you have no reason to live . ”
Kajel desperately begged .
“Sovereign Lucan! I might not know the sovereigns, but I know about evil spirits . And if I eat an Essence of Darkness then I can regain my strength . Please give me a chance to prove my loyalty . ”
Kang-jun currently had eight Essence of Darkness .
He got five through the last mission and another three were dropped by monsters .
In addition, he would receive 10 Essence of Darkness as a reward for Mission 10 .
It was a total of 18 .
It was worth sacrificing one if Kajel could regain his power . There was something he was still unsure about .
Kang-jun asked Kajel .
"You said you know about evil spirits? Then do you know someone called Lotuna?”
"Lotuna . . . I don't know . ”
"Don’t you know about evil spirits? It was a lie . ”
“No . There is no one with that name in the area . ”
“That is impossible . Didn’t I meet her?”
Kang-jun described Lotuna’s appearance . Kajel thought for a moment before speaking .
"The appearance is similar to a succubus . I am a little bit forgetful but I would know if there was a succubus with that name nearby . ”
"Then what is Lotuna?”
“I’m not sure . To be honest, I only know the ones up to the 14th floor . ”
Kang-jun was startled .
"Then Lotuna might be from a territory that has more than 15 floors?”
“Yes . If so, she is probably a demon rather than a evil spirit . ”
Demon? Kang-jun shook his head .
‘No . That is impossible . ’
If Lotuna was a demon then she wouldn’t have run away .
‘A sword style that contains the invincible strength of the heavens!’
He recalled the message that appeared when he learnt Heaven’s Blood Sword Style .
'Is it due to that?’
Then Kang-jun shook his head with a smile .
No matter how strong it was, a demon wouldn’t be defeated by a skill used by a Lv17 person .
Maybe he just didn’t remember Lotuna’s name .
“Kajel! I will accept you as my subordinate . However, I will be watching you in the future . ”
“I-I’ll give you my loyalty, Lord!”
[Kajel has joined your household . ]
[Kajel will become your faithful subordinate in the world of Hwanmong . ]
[Mission 10 has been completed . ]
[As a reward, enough experience will be given to increase your level . ]
[3,000 nodes have been given as compensation . ]
[10 Essence of Darkness has been given as compensation . ]
Level up! He was now Lv19 .
Kang-jun returned to his base at Yugang building with a glowing smile .
