Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 71:
Chapter 71: Silver-haired Exorcist (2)
Kim Hye-na searched up information on the smartphone and reported some facts to Kang-jun .
"There are no reports of evil spirits here but there have been a few suicides in recent days . Three people jumped off the roof of a nearby parking garage for no reason . ”
Although articles appeared, the evil spirits were so terrifying that news of the suicides weren’t noticed .
‘Suicide . They must be doing it . ’
Kang-jun glanced around coldly .
“I’ll have a look while you guys stay here . ”
“Yes, Boss-nim . ”
“Be careful, Boss-nim . ”
The secretary and bodyguards didn’t follow Kang-jun .
It was because they knew they would just be a hindrance .
In the meantime, as Kang-jun approached, a fuss came from one side of the fog . Many shadows with gleaming eyes started looking at Kang-jun .
Of course, the average people couldn’t see them . Kang-jun couldn’t grasp the details in reality but he saw their rough forms .
However, he would be able to see them clearly on the battlefield .
[The enemy’s attack has automatically activated the battle field . ]
Sususu .
The moment that fog covered the area entirely, Kang-jun stood in a space that wasn’t the parking lot .
It was dark but he could see .
Upon entering the battlefield, Kang-jun was equipped with the Ghoul Lord’s Heavy Armour .
Chachak! Chak!
Additionally, the Vampire Lord’s Sword, gifted to him by Commander Grania, appeared in his right hand .
“Kiiii!”
“Kikikiki!”
The ones approaching Kang-jun were bone skeletons .
Their bodies were made of solid bones . Only two red lights flashed in their skulls and they were over two metres tall .
The skeletons holding swords, axes and even spears seemed tough .
The unusual thing was that there was a huge cage behind the skeletons with three people trapped in it!
They cried out urgently after seeing Kang-jun .
"P-please save me!”
“Huuk! Please spare me!”
A skeleton, that looked like a jailer, whipped them .
"Kikiki! Won’t you be quiet?”
Jjak! Jjak!
"Ack!"
“Kuaack!”
Who were they? Why were they caught by the skeletons?
The story Kang-jun heard from Kim Hye-na flashed through his head then . Recently, three people had jumped from the roof of the parking garage .
Were they those people?
Obviously, their suicides were related to the skeletons . It seemed like the souls of the dead were trapped in that prison .
Kang-jun looked at the skeletons and cried out .
"Why are things like you leaving Hwanmong? Anyway, after being caught by my eyes, you are all dead . ”
“Kikikiki! What are you saying?”
“Kukaka! I will make you a slave and exploit you forever . ”
The skeletons surrounded Kang-jun quickly . There were no gaps anywhere on the left or the right .
Of course, Kang-jun didn’t care about being surrounded .
It was a good situation to test his new skill .
‘Heavenly Unyielding Slash!’
Flash!
Just like when he used Heavenly Cut, his sword flashed .
However, the flash didn’t aim for the front but spread in a circular wave around Kang-jun .
Pak! Papak! Papapak . . . !
The skeletons trembled as they were hit by the wave and turned into powder .
[43 nodes have been gained . ]
[32 nodes have been gained . ]
[One small moonstone has been acquired . ]
[One intermediate health potion has been acquired . ]
From the beginning, they weren’t fit to be Kang-jun’s opponents .
Still, he didn’t know they would all be wiped out with one skill .
It was a wide range skill, so he thought it had weak damage and would need to be used twice .
He killed 31 of them but only one small moonstone dropped .
It was like that even with his good luck increased by one .
‘Heksia did say that the drop rate would be lowered . ’
Now, there was only one enemy left .
The skeleton guarding the prison .
“Kiiii! Die!”
The skeleton guard ran up with a gleaming axe . Other creatures might had fled in this situation but skeletons had no fear .
Kwajik!
Kang-jun smashed his sword into its skull .
Once the last skeleton collapsed, the iron prison holding the three souls melted away .
At the same time, a bright light started to emerge from the three souls .
“Thank you very much . "
"Thanks to you, we are free . ”
They smiled brightly toward Kang-jun before slowly fading away .
"Take care . "
Kang-jun waved at them . Possessed people returned to normal but those who were already dead couldn’t survive .
This was the only thing Kang-jun could do .
If Kang-jun had found this place earlier, he could have prevented the situation . However, he was only one person .
The souls were now freed, so they could rest comfortably .
Sususu .
The battlefield started to disperse .
[You have won the battle . ]
[50 points of black magic energy have been acquired . ]
The black magic energy consumed for Heavenly Unyielding Slash was completely restored .
‘This is a very useful skill . ’
Unlike Hwanmong, the advantage of the battle field was that black magic energy could be obtained after victory .
Even so, there was the inconvenience of having to travel to find other incidents . The speed of his levelling up would be slower than in Hwanmong .
“Wah! The fog is gone . ”
“Oh! How can he do that?”
Kim Hye-na and Hwang Chang-min, who were watching from a distance, were amazed when the fog disappeared as soon as Kang-jun entered .
“Were there really evil spirits in the fog, Team Leader Hwang?”
Hwang Chang-min nodded at Kim Hye-na’s question .
"I’ve seen it, so there is no doubt . The evil spirits are so scared of his reputation that they disappeared . ”
Since time flowed differently, they felt like it occurred instantly .
No matter how fierce the battle was, it seemed like it was instant .
Kang-jun came back and boarded the van .
"Now, let’s go to Geumho-dong . ”
"Yes, Boss-nim . ”
Kang-jun found a bright red dot on the Skia’s detection app .
The red colour showed signs of spirit possessions . The fact that it was so thick meant the creature there was very strong .
However, the dot became increasingly unusual . Before he knew it, the dot had become the deepest in Seoul .
No, it seemed to become the darkest in South Korea . Even if the map was extended towards China or Japan, no other similar places could be seen .
Right now, he was on his way to Geumho-dong .
‘Strange . Why is this area so dark? Don’t tell me that some type of lord showed up?’
Han Yeon-soo had said that wasn’t possible .
It was because they couldn’t afford the power required to enter reality .
‘Anyway, I will see when I get there . ’
Several dots then appeared, showing evil spirit possessions . They were pale in colour .
This meant they were weak .
Kang-jun sent the addresses to Jang Seo-yeon .
[I have sent you several places where there are incidents of evil spirit possessions . ]
After a while, he received a reply .
[Thank you ^^ . There are some places that I haven’t identified yet . ]
[The level of difficulty doesn’t seem high, so you can do it alone . ]
[I’m going to Geumho-dong . Heh heh . ]
[Why Geumho-dong?]
[There is a large uproar at that place . Anyway, thanks a lot . I’ll will head there afterwards . ]
There was an uproar at Geumho-dong? Kang-jun asked for the address just in case .
[Perhaps, is it in front of K Mart in Geumho-dong?]
[Yes . ^^ You’ve already heard about it . ]
[Wait! It is dangerous, so don’t go there . Or wait until I arrive . ]
[I’ve already arrived . Don’t worry . Heh heh . I have plenty of troops . I’m not that weak . ㅠㅠ]
What was with the crying emoticon? It would be dangerous if her pride made her ignore Kang-jun’s warning .
In fact, she was quite aggressive .
She didn’t show it in front of Kang-jun but she wasn’t a person to back off .
Last time, she was the one leading the lizardmen and swinging her spear from the vanguard .
So, if she arrived, her personality would definitely make her rush straight into the mart .
Kang-jun sent her a message again .
[I’m not ignoring you . Just wait . I don’t think this is a place for you to enter . ]
However, he didn’t receive a response .
She didn’t even pick up his phone call .
Right now, the two vans were on Dong-ho Bridge . It was because he had to cross the Han River to go from Apgujeong-dong to Geumho-dong .
However, the vans started to stop near the centre of the bridge .
"That’s strange, there shouldn’t be a traffic jam at this time . ”
"It should move soon . ”
Kang-jun smiled despite being in a hurry . In Seoul, cars were blocked every day . There was nothing else to do but to wait patiently .
Yiing .
Then the Skia rang . He was receiving a call . It was from Lawyer Han Yeon-soo .
"Hello . "
-Lee Kang-jun? Where are you now?
“Dongho Bridge . What happened?”
-Ah, are you heading to Geumho-dong right now?
"Yes, I am on my way . ”
Then Han Yeon-soo let out a relieved sigh .
-I’m glad . There is a problem there . A strong presence has emerged . It is impossible for anyone but you to solve this .
"In fact, I am curious . What has appeared?”
-It is the ghoul lord .
“Ghoul lord? Didn’t it die?”
Kang-jun was the one who killed it . He had smashed its skull .
-It is possible because the ghoul lord died .
“What does that mean?"
-The Second Demon King can revive the ghoul lord to a limited extent . It can only exist as an evil spirit .
“ . . . !”
Han Yeon-soo continued .
-The Second Demon King has changed strategies . He will create confusion so that sovereigns like you will enter . The attack of the evil spirits will become stronger in the future .
Kang-jun’s expression stiffened .
"But it will be useless if I go against the ghoul lord . ”
Kang-jun had fought directly with the ghoul lord . Even if his equipment and level had increased since then, it was impossible for him to win against the ghoul lord without the support of the commander .
-Rest assured . The ghoul lord is weaker than it originally was but it is still a disaster for ordinary sovereigns . Please join with the other sovereigns in order to remove him . This is what Heksia and the other army commanders said .
"They told you this?”
-Yes . They said they would give 300 achievement points if you succeed .
300 points .
That was the highest compensation ever given for a mission .
It meant this mission was difficult .
[Mission 13] Destroy the resurrected ghoul lord .
-Compensation: Experience, 8,000 nodes, 40 large moonstones
There was a mission . He had no choice .
Meanwhile, the cars started moving on the road again . Kang-jun’s vans started to speed up .
[Jang Seo-yeon, the ghoul lord is the one who showed up at the mart . If you see this then please wait . ]
Kang-jun once again texted Jang Seo-yeon . Still, there was no answer .
Something must have happened .
Meanwhile, the car had entered the market . The front of his cars were being blocked again .
"Let me down here . I will run . ”
Kang-jun jumped down from the car and ran toward the mart .
There were hundreds of people . There were staring at the mart across the street with uneasy expressions .
A group of people were surrounding the mart .
Among them was a familiar person . Jang Seo-yeon .
However, her body was **** and she was stiff like she was stuck in place .
It wasn’t just her but the others as well .
Kang-jun knew that the people surrounding the mart were sovereigns .
Then he heard the grumbling of the nearby police .
“Shit! What is going on?”
"It is frustrating that we can’t even approach . ”
The public couldn’t reach the mart due to a transparent shield around it .
Only those who were called exorcists could penetrate the shield . However, as soon as they entered, they stiffened like a statue and became **** .
Kang-jun knew that the sovereigns were fighting the ghoul lord .
No, the battle was already over .
The sovereigns were already defeated and likely under the control of the ghoul lord .
Everybody had blank expressions like they were missing their souls .
“Wait! You shouldn’t go in there . ”
“This is a controlled area . ”
"Do you want to die? Why are you going in there?”
The police blocked Kang-jun’s path . Then Kim Hye-na, who had followed him, shouted .
"He is an exorcist, so please get out of the way . ”
"Exorcist? Keuk! Please stop lying . ”
“Look . Didn’t the police receive an official letter to cooperate with exorcists in cases like these? Will you become responsible if something big happens?”
The police responded with an embarrassed expression .
“It is true that an official document was received but all those people told me that and now, they are like this . Who else will be sent here?”
Kang-jun smiled .
“Don’t worry . I will fix it . ”
"Who are you?”
Kim Hye-na replied .
"He is Lee Kang-jun, the silver-haired exorcist . ”
The eyes of the policemen widened with shock . The people in the neighbourhood also stared at Kang-jun with surprise .
