Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 84:
Chapter 84: Wings Strengthening (1)
Essence of Earth: 62
Essence of Wind: 22
Essence of Darkness: 39
These were the essences piled up in the warehouse .
Some were obtained from Kang-jun’s battles, while others were found in mines, lakes and grasslands .
The essences were used for advanced facilities, upgrades and summoning high level troops at the barracks .
In particular, the Essence of Earth were used to summon golem ratigers and the Essence of Darkness were necessary for the vampire mages . Keirun was collecting the Essence of Earth to create a future golem ratiger army and the Essence of Darkness to summon 100 vampire mages .
In other words, these essences weren’t easy to gather . They were literally rare items .
So he had to make a choice . Either strengthen his wings or strengthen the power of the base .
'Shall I see how much I get first?’
Kang-jun pulled out one Essence of Earth and brought it to his wings .
Then a question immediately appeared .
[Do you want to convert the Essence of Earth to Chaos Power?]
Yes/No]
‘Yes!’
The wings shone with a bright light .
[One point of Chaos Power has been obtained . ]
-Chaos Power needed to upgrade to Stage 2: 1/1000
'What? Only one point?’
Kang-jun was dumbfounded . This meant that 1,000 essences were required to upgrade it to Stage 2 .
He thought that the Essence of Wind or Darkness might give more Chaos Power .
[One point of Chaos Power has been obtained . ]
[One point of Chaos Power has been obtained . ]
-Chaos Power needed to upgrade to Stage 2: 3/1000
"Each one only gives one point! 1,000 points is required to reach Stage 2 so this isn’t the answer . ”
Then Keirun spoke with a confused expression .
"I've never seen the Wings of Chaos, just heard it through rumours . But one essence only gives one point . I don’t think it will be easy to strengthen your wing unless you meet a dimensional merchant . ”
"What is a dimensional merchant?”
"You can meet them at the Dimensional Shelter . ”
"Dimensional Shelter?”
"A shelter can be created using a Dimensional Piece . When a shelter is created, a dimensional merchant will appear . You can buy various types of essences . ”
A merchant selling all types of essences existed . Kang-jun was delighted .
"That's great . By the way, how can I get a Dimensional Piece?”
Keirun scratched his head and said .
"If Lord is lucky then you might find it in an Aok, but it won’t be easy . ”
"Aok . ”
It meant a prison space . Kang-jun had the Aok Key that could be used three times, but he hadn’t found an Aok yet .
It was at that moment . Naga Queen Melinad spoke with shining eyes .
"I have a Dimensional Piece, Lord . ”
“Really?”
Kang-jun was surprised . Keirun’s eyes widened . Melinad just smiled .
"I’ll give it to Lord if you need it . ”
"I'm very thankful . "
Kang-jun didn’t refuse . A dimensional store wasn’t just good for strengthening his wings . It was possible to summon high level troops in large quantities since he could purchase essences in bulk .
Melinad pulled out a ring that shone with a blue light and pushed it towards Kang-jun .
"Accept it . ”
"It is this ring?”
“Yes . A dimensional ring . It was my mother's keepsake . I’ve only received bad luck from this so I hope you get good luck . I had wondered if it was a ring of misfortune . Still, it is nice to know that Lord needs it . My best luck was meeting Lord so I don’t need any more luck . ”
Kang-jun’s heart swelled with emotion .
“Thank you . Tell me if you want anything . ”
“It’s okay . I am just glad that I can help Lord . ”
"Then I'll get you a really good ring . ”
“No . Just sometimes . . . ”
“Sometimes?”
Melinad avoided Kang-jun’s gaze like she was embarrassed .
"It would be nice if you could stroke my hair sometimes, but I know that isn’t easy . ”
"It is easy . Of course I will do so . ”
It was natural to stroke her head if she did something worthy of praise .
Seuk seuk .
Kang-jun immediately stroked Melinad’s head . Melinad laughed brightly like she was in a good mood .
"Thank you . "
"I will stroke your head at any time . You deserve it . ”
Kang-jun smiled . On his other side, Keirun was staring at the dimensional ring .
"If you have a Dimensional Piece and 10,000 nodes then you can construct a Dimensional Shelter . The jewel in this ring is clearly a Dimensional Piece . ”
"Make it right now . ”
“Yes, Lord . ”
[A shelter is being constructed on the roof of the Yugang building . 1%]
[2%, 3% . . . 100%]
[A Stage 1 shelter has been completed on the roof of the Yugang building . ]
Surprisingly, it was completed in seconds . Kang-jun went up to the rooftop with Keirun and Melinad .
Meanwhile, the rooftop door had changed to a portal .
There was a shimmering deep blue light that was like water .
As they passed through, a large square was revealed .
[You have entered the Dimensional Shelter . ]
[The Dimensional Shelter is a place for weary strangers wandering the dimensions to rest . This is now a deserted vacant lot and there will be no visitors other than merchants . ]
[Two Dimensional Pieces are required to upgrade a shelter to Stage 2 . If the shelter is connected to the rest area then more people will find it . ]
'Do I need another Dimensional Piece to get it to Stage 2?’
He needed two of them . It was hard to get one so how can he obtain two?
He would be satisfied with Stage 1 for now .
On the other hand, the square was empty .
There was only a large magic circle on one side of the square .
Chuuuot!
At that time, the magic circle glowed and a person in a grey hood appeared .
He stared into Kang-jun’s eyes but didn’t show any noticeable reaction .
"Hmm, why is the atmosphere so cold? There is no trade . Anyway, I am here so let’s pick a spot . ”
He muttered as he trudged across the square and sat down .
Seuk . Suuk .
Something similar to a mat appeared in front of him .
On top of it were all types of sparkling beads of different colours .
‘That?’
They were all essences . They weren’t just the Essence of Earth, Essence of Wind and Essence of Darkness, but other essences as well . There were beads that seemed like fire was blazing or water was swirling .
Keirun smiled .
"Lord, that person is a dimensional merchant . You can’t know their identities, but the job of a merchant is to move around Dimensional Shelters to do business . They sell various types of essences . ”
“Then shall I go and find out the price?”
Currently, the base had more than 60,000 nodes . A few nodes were paid as tax, but most of them were the result of Kang-jun’s constant hunting and missions .
‘I can use around 30,000 nodes . ’
He was overflowing with money so it wouldn’t be a burden .
Keirun asked the merchant .
"I came to ask the price of the essences . ”
The merchant laughed and replied .
“Huhu, customers came as soon as I opened my business so I am happy . Yes . How many moonstones do you have?”
"Why are you asking for moonstones? Do yoy not deal with nodes?”
The merchant shrugged at Keirun’s question and replied .
"I guess you don’t know . Who deals with nodes these days? The value of nodes is too bloaded due to Hwanmong . I won’t trade unless it is with moonstones . ”
Kang-jun was surprised .
‘Moonstones? Moonstones are used as currency?’
Kang-jun asked .
"I have some moonstones so tell me the price . ”
Then the merchant gave him a friendly smile .
"These are the prices . ”
Essence of Earth - 2 Moonstones
Essence of Wind - 2 Moonstones
Essence of Fire - 3 Moonstones
Essence of Water - 3 Moonstones
Essence of Abundance - 4 Moonstones
Essence of Enchantment - 4 Moonstones
Essence of Darkness - 5 Moonstones
Essence of Light - 5 Moonstones
There were no Essence of Chaos . But the cheapest Essence of Earth and Essence of Wind were two moonstones each .
In addition, Essence of Darkness was going for five moonstones .
Of course, the standard was for the small size .
Keirun frowned and whispered to Kang-jun .
'It sounds like ridiculous prices . Wait a bit and see . Usually the prices will decrease when more merchants arrive . ’
Kang-jun also thought like that .
Currently, he had approximately 1,800 small moonstones . If that was the case, he could buy 900 Essence of Earth from the merchant .
When combined with the essences at his base, the 1,000 Chaos Power required to upgrade his wings would be fulfilled . However, the value of the moonstones couldn’t be lowered .
"Then I’ll come next time . ”
“Huhu, don’t think that it is expensive . Who else besides me will come to such a sad place? Anyway, you can get a small discount if you buy it in bulk so think carefully . ”
The merchant waved his hands .
Kang-jun exited the shelter with Keirun .
In the meantime, one scroll had arrived .
It was from Heksia .
[Lucan, I no longer have the right to command you now that you have become a captain . We are in equal positions .
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to visit headquarters to say hello?
Give us a chance to celebrate .
-439th commander Heksia . ]
‘Yes . It will be good to talk to her . ’
He hadn’t heard anything yet so he decided to go and meet Heksia .
After a while, the 439th Army Headquarters .
However, Heksia couldn’t be seen when he arrived . Only the sovereigns were there .
His allies, including Avia and Haniel, stared at Kang-jun .
"Lucan! Welcome back . Congratulations on becoming a commander . ”
"Welcome . "I've heard about it . You have become the first ranking commander among the sovereigns . Congratulations . ”
The other sovereigns were also staring at Kang-jun .
Some of them belonged to Hardis’ alliance that opposed Kang-jun, and the ones who weren’t close to him didn’t congratulate him .
They just returned to their work .
"How about 20 million per moonstone?”
"I can’t afford to give away my moonstones . ”
"Then 30 million? Please sell me one . ”
“Ah, let’s see . I can’t sell it . I want to sell but I can’t . Although you are giving 30 million per piece, I only have a few pieces . ”
Everyone was eager to buy moonstones . Kang-jun asked what was going on and Avia replied .
"Heksia said it would be the evaluation when she comes back . The people with less than 100 achievement points are eager to buy moonstones . However, moonstones are in short supply so no one is selling . ”
“I see . ”
Kang-jun nodded . The rate of moonstones dropping was quite low, so it was quite difficult to find some even when hunting evil spirits .
Therefore, it wasn’t easy to find someone who could spare their moonstones .
Who would sell it in this situation?
At that time, a sovereign carefully approached Kang-jun .
"Lucan! I am Sovereign Ruel . ”
It was a female voice . She wasn’t one of the sovereigns in Hardis’ alliance and had never had a conversation with Kang-jun .
She just suddenly walked over and greeted him .
“What is it?”
"This might be presumptuous, but can you please sell me three moonstones? I think that you have quite a lot of moonstones . I’ll buy one at 30 million won per piece . ”
