Dimensional Sovereign Chapter 90:
Chapter 90: Opening the Aok Space Prison (1)
In this situation, he would never select, ‘No . ’
There was just one thing to watch out for .
He couldn’t tell what was inside . What if a horrible creature came running out? He may be attacked as soon as he opened the door .
However, he couldn’t not open the door .
Kang-jun nodded cautiously and prepared for battle .
‘Yes! Open it . ’
[The Aok Key has been used once . ]
[The Aok has been opened . ]
Kang-jun was moved to an unknown space .
[You have become the master of this Aok . ]
[You may release any prisoners here or leave them locked up . ]
[The prisoner or prisoners in the Aok can’t attack the master of the Aok . ]
‘The Aok’s master?’
He only opened it with a key, yet he had become the master of the space prison .
Furthermore, the prisoner or prisoners couldn’t attack the master of the Aok, so he was safe .
'So, this is an Aok?’
He saw an unfamiliar space the moment the Aok was opened .
It was an enclosed stone chamber without any bars .
There were only small light fixtures attached to both sides of the wall in order to illuminate the interior .
‘If I was trapped here, I would starve to death . ’
There was no food or water to drink and even air didn’t flow in here .
A human absolutely couldn’t survive in this space .
However, there were so many bizarre beings in Hwanmong that there might be some capable of surviving here .
‘Is there really nobody?’
He looked but the room was empty .
No, there was something . Unlike the other parts of the room, there was one corner which contained a thick darkness .
‘Perhaps?’
Kang-jun was suspicious of the dark spot .
As he approached, it flinched .
Surprisingly, it was a shadow . The shadow took the form of a human man and gazed at Kang-jun . It was obvious that he was nervous and anxious .
"Who is the one that entered this humble and solitary place of despair . . . ?”
It was an evil voice that sounded like it came from **** . Just listening to it gave Kang-jun an eerie feeling .
However, Kang-jun stared at the shadow with detachment and said,
"I am the master of this Aok . I can release you or keep you locked up . ”
The shadow flinched at Kang-jun’s words, then bowed .
"This lowly prisoner looks forward to seeing Aok Master . ”
"Who are you?"
"I am a demon called Sud . ”
Demon? He had a bizarre form for a demon .
“A demon . However, why are you trapped in here?”
"A long time ago, the lord I served was defeated by the Second Demon King Colladikus . The demons, including myself, were imprisoned in the Aok . ”
He was one of the Second Demon King’s captives .
“My lord was the demon Merik . At that time, he was slain by the Second Demon King . But, who are you?”
“I am Sovereign Lucan, a commander of the Earth Hwanmong Defense Army . ”
Sud looked surprised .
"Then, what is your relationship with the Second Demon King Colladikus?”
"I don't have any affiliation with him . I suppose it is more of a hostile relationship . ”
Sud nodded with a bemused expression .
"I have a rough idea . The Second Demon King invaded Earth Hwanmong and you are facing him as a sovereign . Then by chance, you came across an Aok and came in using an Aok Key . ”
“Yes, you understand . "
It was good that Kang-jun didn’t need to explain it . Sud grabbed Kang-jun’s foot with both hands and begged .
"Aok Master! If you let me out of this desperate place, I will devote myself to you forever . ”
However, Kang-jun looked down at Sud with a frown .
‘I can’t just accept . ’
If it was someone great, he would release them with certain conditions .
However, the presence that Sud gave off was less than a slime . He had virtually no combat power .
It would be useless to take this shadow into his household .
However, he still needed to ask . Sud might be like Kajel who had become stronger after eating the Essence of Darkness .
"Right now, your combat power is less than one of my subordinates from Earth . Can you eat something like the Essence of Darkness to regain your original ability?”
Sud bowed and replied,
"I'm sorry but my combat power can’t increase any more . ”
Kang-jun was dumbfounded . If this was true, Sud had no value as a household member .
"I don’t need incompetent people . If you don’t prove your value to me, I will close the door again . ”
Sud’s body trembled and he said,
"I am a demon with a non-combat ability . I don’t have any combat power but I know alchemy . ”
"Alchemy?"
"I can’t show you because I don’t have any ingredients . However, I am sure that I can make what you need . For example, I can make potions . ”
Potions usually came pouring in when he killed monsters . Still, an alchemist could make potions in bulk, so he would be useful .
Kang-jun looked at Sud with a slightly more interested expression .
"So, you can make health potions or black magic energy potions?”
"Yes, that’s right . If you have ingredients, I can show you right now . ”
"What ingredients are needed?”
"One bottle of any potion and an essence . It doesn’t matter what type . ”
Kang-jun looked at his inventory .
“I have a potion and essence . ”
Usually his inventory only contained moonstones and potions, but luckily an Essence of Darkness had dropped .
Kang-jun handed an advanced health potion and one Essence of Darkness to Sud .
Sud took them and placed them on the floor .
First, he grabbed the Essence of Darkness and chanted a spell .
Sususu .
The Essence of Darkness turned into powder . Sud added the powder to the health potion and chanted a spell again .
Hwakak!
Then the health potion shone brightly .
"It’s done . You can look at it now . ”
Sud extended the potion to Kang-jun .
[Advanced Regeneration Medicine of Darkness]
-Restores 500 health points .
-Agility will increase by three for 30 seconds after drinking it .
‘Oh!’
Kang-jun was amazed . The potion that Sud created had the best recovery effect that he had seen .
An advanced recovery potion restored 300 health points .
This one restored a huge 500 points .
Furthermore, there was an additional effect .
Although it was only for 30 seconds, his agility still rose by three!
"This is quite usable . ”
Kang-jun made a satisfied expression and Sud looked relieved .
"I can make many things as long as I have the ingredients . Particularly, if you give me your shadow then I will always make things that you need by your side . ”
"My shadow?”
"Yes, I will become your shadow . While you are fighting our enemies, I can pick up a variety of rare herbs, ores, essences and other materials . There are many things in niche dimensions . ”
He could collect rare herbs .
If so, it was worth accepting him as a subordinate .
“Okay . Then will you join my household?”
Kang-jun smiled and reached out his hand . Sud trembled as he grabbed it .
"Of course, Lord . ”
[The demon Sud has joined your household . ]
[Sud will become your faithful subordinate in the world of Hwanmong . ]
Sud’s bod was sucked into Kang-jun’s shadow .
[The demon Sud has been connected to your shadow . ]
[Sud’s alchemy space belongs to you . ]
[Sud's 100 inventory spaces have been added . ]
‘100 inventory spaces?’
Kang-jun was surprised . Currently, the Ghoul Lord’s Heavy Armour gave him 30 spaces .
Now that he had Sud, that increased by 100 spaces .
(Lord, you can use my inventory freely . Just leave it half empty so I have room to place the ingredients that I pick up . )
There was a sound from his shadow . It was a type of telepathy .
“Okay . I’ll remember that . ”
Kang-jun stepped out of the Aok with a smile .
The Aok disappeared and Kang-jun stood in the forest where he had fought the ratian lord .
‘Shall I go back now?’
Kang-jun was about to fly off .
(Lord, wait a minute . )
Sud hurriedly exclaimed .
[Sud has acquired one Essence of Darkness from the surroundings . ]
Sud had found an Essence of Darkness in the area . Kang-jun smiled .
This was quite useful .
"Is there anything else?”
(Nothing, Lord . )
“Okay, then I will return . ”
Kang-jun flew upwards and soared towards the Defense Army’s safe zone .
Once he returned to the magic circle, a woman in a robe approached Kang-jun .
"Commander Lucan! You have returned safely from the Bloody Battlefield . Will you return to headquarters now?”
"I will go there . ”
Kang-jun nodded and the woman reached out her hands .
"Thank you for the trouble . As soon as you return, you will be rewarded for your achievements on the battlefield . ”
Kang-jun was surrounded by a bright light .
[You have accumulated 642 achievement points on the Bloody Battlefield . ]
[Now, you will be rewarded for your achievements . ]
[You have gained two levels . ]
[Your charisma has risen by one . ]
‘Oh! Level up!'
He was level 47 .
Furthermore, his charisma had also risen by one .
Lv . 47 (Exp 00 . 00%)
[War] Intermediate
Health: 3110/3110 .
Black Magic Energy: 2780/2780
Strength: 51 (+5)
Agility: 52 (+5)
Intelligence: 48
Good Luck: 9
Charisma: 17 (+4)
Unlike before, there was a periodic evaluation . Once he returned to headquarters from the battlefield, he was immediately compensated for the achievements accumulated on that day .
‘It is a jackpot . ’
He could see why Rainkar recommended the Bloody Battlefield .
It was dangerous but the fastest method of growth!
Those words were true .
[Hayun’s abilities have risen . ]
[Keirun’s abilities have risen . ]
······
[Melinad’s abilities have risen . ]
[Sud’s abilities have risen . ]
The capabilities of his household members rose once again .
Sud, who he just gained, was also included .
Then a message appeared .
[Sud's alchemy space has been enlarged . ]
[Sud's inventory has increased to 120 spaces . ]
‘His rise in abilities increased the inventory spaces?’
His growth pattern was different from the others .
It was quite good for Kang-jun .
[The door to Hwanmong is closed . ]
After returning to headquarters, Kang-jun received the message that his time in Hwanmong was over and woke up .
The next day, 8 o’clock .
Once Kang-jun had returned home after a hard day’s work, Lawyer Han Yeon-soo came to see him .
“Hoho! Did I come too late?”
“No . By the way, have you eaten?”
Kang-jun asked politely . Han Yeon-soo smiled .
“No . I wanted to handle this first . ”
She brought two boxes .
"What is that?”
"I brought two boxes, so that I wouldn’t come here empty-handed . ”
"I see . ”
Kang-jun didn’t refuse it and guided her to the couch .
“Did something happen?
"Please check this first . The sovereigns contacted us in order to send you money . ”
A total of 3 . 06 billion won was deposited .
