Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 67:
Chapter 67: Serving as Reinforcements (4)
"Kuooh! It is really unbelievable . ”
Despite being in a berserk state, the man was still injured .
However, he still had a method of recovery available .
He had left someone behind for this very moment .
As the man prepared to move to where Radel was, Kang-jun smiled coldly .
'It won’t work . ’
He had seen it a few times already today .
The vampires’ fearsome resilience meant they would recover unless they were killed!
It would be a hassle if he recovered again this time . The gaps were gradually increasing .
Therefore, Kang-jun had been slowly moving in the direction of the Jewel of Darkness during the battle .
He was now only 10 metres away!
He would destroy the Jewel of Darkness as the man absorbed blood .
And that moment came .
Sususu .
As expected, the man disappeared from before Kang-jun . Kang-jun didn’t hesitate and rushed toward the Jewel of Darkness .
The man freaked out and appeared in the direction of the Jewel of Darkness to block Kang-jun .
"Kukukuk! You dare . . . !”
His sword struck the man’s neck .
At the same time, an eerie sound was heard as he cut through bone .
“Keoooook! Unbelievable!”
The man trembled . He grabbed his neck and gazed at Kang-jun .
"Goodbye, vampire!”
In fact, Kang-jun hadn’t run toward the Jewel of Darkness . He’d just made a motion and pretended like he was going to .
He guessed the point where the man would appear and hit him with Heavenly Cut .
Duk!
In the end, the man’s head rolled off his body and fell to the ground . The body that lost its head was destroyed .
‘I’m tired . ’
It had been a tough fight but it wasn’t that difficult until the other sovereigns appeared in the middle .
[Your level has risen . ]
[1,800 nodes have been gained . ]
[32 small moonstones have been acquired . ]
[11 large moonstones have been acquired . ]
[The vampire lord’s silver box has been acquired . ]
Unlike when he killed the ghoul lord, his level only rose by one this time .
It was because the vampire lord was a clone .
Money and moonstones also came pouring out . Additionally, the vampire lord’s silver box!
However, right now, it wasn’t a situation where he could relax .
The vampire lord was angry over the death of his clone and shot a huge flame from the sky .
“How dare you! I can't forgive you . You lowlife bastard!”
Hwaruru!
Flames enveloped him from the sky!
There was no place to avoid it .
Kang-jun thought quickly and rushed toward the Jewel of Darkness .
Hwaruruk!
Flames wrapped around his whole body .
‘Ugh!’
It was unthinkable! His whole body seemed like it was melting .
The Ghoul Lord’s Heavy Armour protected Kang-jun’s body but its defense was limited .
Health: 112/730 .
Despite just levelling up, his health quickly reached the bottom .
If this continued on, he would really die .
But even if he died, he would just be resurrected anyway . He just needed to do one more thing .
‘I have to destroy the Jewel of Darkness before I die!’
Kang-jun used a skill .
‘Heavenly Cut!’
Flash! Paak!
The Jewel of Darkness turned into powder .
At that moment .
[Mission 12 has been completed . ]
[As a reward, enough experience will be given to increase your level . ]
[6,000 nodes have been given as compensation . ]
[20 large moonstones have been given as compensation . ]
The messages seemed slow but the effects had already been applied .
The mission was completed just before his health reached zero and his level rose again . At this point, his health was restored and the maximum value increased .
Health: 750/750 .
Of course, the flame damage kept occurring but the rate had slowed down .
Health: 452/750 .
Flames were still burning the garden but a blue shield formed around Kang-jun’s body and pushed away the flames .
(I worried that my shield was too late . However, I’m glad that you didn’t die . It is really surprising how you managed to endure it . I can see why Heksia praised you . )
It was Commander Grania’s voice again .
The vampire lord fighting her had suddenly fired at Kang-jun .
It was powerful and fatal to sovereigns!
Radel, the total sovereign, was near the flames, so his life was in danger .
Therefore, Grania covered Radel and Lucan with a shield at the same time .
However, Radel had melted before the shield was triggered and Lucan had endured it . This was despite the fact that he received stronger damage than Radel .
(Sovereign Lucan! I will destroy the vampire lord since you have taken care of the Jewel of Darkness . Now you will be rewarded for your achievements . )
Her voice was excited . The vampire lord was still alive, yet she was convinced of her victory?
Then a new message appeared .
[The reinforcement mission has been completed . ]
[You have destroyed the Jewel of Darkness . ]
[You have earned 100 red moon achievement points . ]
The rewards for his achievement arrived . By this time, Avia and the other sovereigns who were waiting at the resurrection gem would be given 50 achievement points .
Kang-jun’s mission was over .
The support mission had been to destroy the Jewel of Darkness, not kill the vampire lord .
Grania’s figure disappeared as she fought the vampire lord in the air .
However, Commander Grania had promised him additional compensation . So, Kang-jun waited without leaving his position .
'Should I open the box?’
The vampire lord’s silver box he obtained was in his inventory .
The size was small .
It was a lower ranked box than the golden treasure chest but it was still a box .
Kang-jun opened it instantly .
‘A book?’
[Vampire Mage]
It was a thick book titled, Vampire Mage .
He could tell it was an old book just by looking at the cover .
There was a picture of a vampire similar to the ones at the entrance of the mansion .
‘What is this?’
He felt somewhat reluctant but decided to touch it .
Suuk .
At that moment, the vampire and bizarre letters made of flames were sucked into his head .
[Intermediate knowledge about the vampire magic has been acquired . ]
It was knowledge .
Usually, there was a rare chance of a knowledge scroll being dropped if he killed many monsters .
This was the first time it appeared in the form of a book .
[You can summon a vampire mage in the barracks by constructing a magic tower . ]
[Vampire Mage]
-Resources: 100 nodes, 1 Essence of Darkness
-It is possible to summon one if you have 3 charisma points
‘Oh! This is?’
It was possible to summon them as long as the magic tower was built . Of course, there was a limit to the knowledge gained .
‘I need a magic tower . ’
The offensive power of the vampire mages wasn’t a joke . If Kang-jun hadn’t been wearing legend grade armour, he might have been turned to ashes .
If he could summon vampire mages, his base power would increase a lot .
The problem was the magic tower .
He had yet to see a place where he could build a magic tower in an occupied territory .
‘I’ll have to ask Kajel . ’
Kajel specialized in things related to magic .
It was at that moment that a huge storm occurred again in the quiet sky .
Flash! Pajijijik!
“Kuaaaaak!”
The man with red wings fell down with a terrible scream .
He was the vampire lord .
Kwarurung! Jijijik!
Grania sent another lightning spell toward the falling vampire lord .
Pasususu -
The body of the vampire lord turned to smoke and scattered .
‘Dead . ’
Thus, the body of the vampire lord disappeared .
At the same time, Grania landed in front of Kang-jun . She had a very pleasant expression on her face .
“Hoho! I finally caught him after a long chase . I also received a heart, so I feel good . ”
A heart . Did it mean that Grania received the heart of the vampire lord?
It was an item that Heksia wanted to obtain .
It was a very good item for Kang-jun .
However, the vampire lord never attacked Kang-jun directly, so he had no claim over it .
Kang-jun just smiled .
"Congratulations on getting the heart . ”
“Thank you . It is all thanks to you . ”
Grania handed something to Kang-jun .
"Now, take this . It is the extra reward like I promised . ”
It was a glowing long sword with an eerie black blade . At the first glance, it didn’t look ordinary .
“A sword?”
Grania laughed at Kang-jun’s amazement .
"I received two golden boxes . The heart is necessary for me but it seems like you need the sword more . I saw that your sword is broken . ”
Like she said, the Warrior’s Sword was no longer suitable to be used as a sword .
Of course, he didn’t want to throw away this sword .
It was a rare item with the option to increase his defense when he used Aura of Earth .
Repairing it was easy .
If he kept it in the base warehouse, it would be repaired and its durability recovered .
"Then I will gratefully receive it . ”
Kang-jun placed the Warrior’s Sword in his inventory and grabbed the sword from Grania .
[Vampire Lord’s Sword]
-Rating: Legend
-It has a strong durability due to the special ability of the vampire lord .
-The sword’s attack power will increase greatly when used with Aura of Darkness .
-When attacking, there is a low probability of absorbing the target’s health .
A legend grade weapon .
It also had two amazing options .
Of course, one of them had no power right now because Kang-jun hadn’t acquired the Aura of Darkness skill yet .
But that wasn't a problem .
In the end, the last option was the real jackpot .
Health absorption!
If the attack was successful, there was a chance to absorb health from the enemy .
The probability was low but that didn’t matter . It would be a great help even if this ability was activated once in a dozen times .
During fierce battles, there were often times when he couldn’t afford to drink a potion to restore his health .
"The sword suits you . ”
“I like it very much . ”
"I'm glad . Then I’ll see you next time if there is another chance . Thank you for the work today, Sovereign Lucan . ”
Grania waved her hands and chanted a spell .
Hwaaack!
A glittering light wrapped around his body and Kang-jun reappeared back at the 439th Army headquarters .
Hwakak! Hwaaak!
Kang-jun was followed by Avia . She greeted Kang-jun excitedly .
"Lucan! What happened to that terrible guy? I got the reward thanks to you but I don’t deserve it . ”
Avia fidgeted with one side of her neck . She still seemed to be shocked by the vampire lord’s clone sucking her blood .
Caper, Rosina and Brio also scratched their heads .
"I am really ashamed of myself, total sovereign . ”
"I didn’t help but was still rewarded . ”
"I’ll do better next time . ”
In particular, Haniel who died first was apologetic .
"I'm sorry . I will increase my skills in the future so that I don’t become disruptive . ”
However, their expressions were shining brightly . These were the first achievement points they received after the red moon rose .
Hwaaak!
Then the magic circle glowed and Heksia appeared in a tired state . She wasn’t in a very good mood but she looked happier after seeing Kang-jun .
"The total sovereign is back . The mission?”
“It was completed successfully . ”
"Huhu, as expected from the total sovereign . But thanks to that, our side was a total failure . I shouldn’t have sent you as support . ”
Heksia sighed .
"Did the naga queen appear?”
“I’ll explain later . For now, there is something more important than that . Enter the palace . ”
“Sure . ”
Kang-jun nodded . Kang-jun entered the palace where the other sovereigns were already waiting .
Everyone seemed to have bitter expressions on their faces, so something must have happened against the nagas .
Heksia sat on the throne and said .
"Everybody listen up . After the red moon rises, there will be a periodic assessment of your accomplishments . ”
Periodic assessments . What did that mean? The expressions of the sovereigns stiffened .
"The commanders decided this in order to encourage and motivate the sovereigns . Therefore, you will keep being evaluated in the future . ”
Naturally, the sovereigns frowned . Those who lost most of their achievement points wouldn’t be happy .
"Everything will be judged thoroughly . People who have less than the standard number of achievement points will be punished, while those who have more will be rewarded . Then the achievements will be reset . ”
She said with a calm expression .
"For those who feel like they are lacking achievement points, place your moonstones in the box in front of you . Then the value of the moonstones will be added to your achievement points . ”
Heksia waved her hands and a large box appeared at the side of her throne .
Multiple sovereigns ran up to the box . The moonstones they received from killing monsters or mission accomplishments were placed in the box .
Of course, Kang-jun didn’t move .
He currently had 560 achievement points .
It would increase if he exchanged his moonstones but he kept in mind what Han Yeon-soo said .
After a few moments .
Heksia raised a hand .
"It is over now, so everyone go back to your spots . ”
The sovereigns returned to their positions .
Heksia closed the lid of the box .
Hwaaak!
There was a bright light and the box disappeared .
Hwaaak!
After a while, a different box appeared in its place .
Ttalkak!
Heksia immediately opened the box .
There were many scrolls inside .
There were 40 of them .
The name of each sovereign was displayed on the scroll .
“Sovereign Lucan!”
Heksia called out . Kang-jun approached and Heksia handed him the scroll .
"Now, take this . "
"What is it?"
“Read the evaluation yourself . The contents are different for everyone . ”
“Yes . ”
Heksia continued to distribute the scrolls to the other sovereigns .
Kang-jun returned to his position and opened the scroll .
