Chapter 105: Guardian Hall (2)
If it hit, his legs and neck would be literally cut off.
Kang!Kaaang!
Kang-jun swung his sword swiftly and destroyed the waves in front of him.
‘I’m surprised. How can such an attack be possible?’
The Heaven’s Blood Sword Style’s two skills didn’t have cooldown times.
However, since the action itself was so large, it took more than one second to use it again.
Particularly, Heavenly Unyielding Slash should take two seconds.
Yet this guy had just used it at the same time. The direction had also been adjusted.
If Kang-jun could do that, he would be stronger than before.
Anyway, he had those questions as his sword moved through a gap.
Seokeok!
He cut the opponent’s neck and the enemy disappeared in a puff of smoke..
[2,000 chaos power has been acquired.]
The acquired chaos power had doubled.
Sususu.
Meanwhile, two more men showed up. Looking at the atmosphere, they had the same combat power as the previous man.
One of them gazed at Kang-jun and said,
“Don’t look with just your eyes but with your heart. That will lead to enlightenment in Heaven’s Blood Sword Style and transcendence.”
Transcendence! Before Kang-jun could express his surprise, the man spoke again in a blunt voice,
"Additionally, the chaos power gained here will reinforce the wings without failing. This is a chance that won’t come twice! The longer you last without dying, the more you will get.”
As soon as the conversation was over, a flash flew from the man’s sword. It was the same for the man next to him.
Flash!Flash! Flash!
How many Heavenly Cuts were flying toward him?
Kang-jun felt uncomfortable but he concentrated and blocked them. Then he ran forward and cut the men.
Chwack!Chwaack!
The man didn’t scream as they disappeared into smoke.
[2,000 chaos power has been acquired.]
[2,000 chaos power has been acquired.]
In an instant, he acquired 6,000 chaos power.
-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 6: 6000/256000
If he killed 125 people in the future, he would be able to obtain the necessary chaos power to strengthen it to Stage 6.
The chaos power gained here wouldn’t fail! If the words were true, it meant that Stage 6 could also succeed.
Kang-jun’s heart beat wildly.
Then that meant he had to survive even if his bones were broken.
Sususu.
Four more people showed up. Then five people, six, seven...
Kang-jun continued knocking them down in a trance.
After some time...
Kang-jun found himself using two Heavenly Cuts simultaneously.
It was also possible to use three at a time.
It was the same for Heavenly Unyielding Slash!
What was going on?
It was a moment of enlightenment. It seemed like he had been influenced by watching the men using the skills.
From then on, using Heaven’s Blood Sword Style was much easier.
Why did he suddenly feel like a child who had grown up?
He was convinced that his swordsmanship had gone up another level.
It felt like breaking through a gigantic wall that he hadn’t been able to overcome while levelling up.
The only certain thing was that he had become extremely strong!
‘Is this the meaning of Rainkar’s words?’
Kang-jun finally understood what he was talking about.
‘Therefore, given the chance and no matter how painful the process, you must concentrate and gain enlightenment.
That enlightenment will give you greater strength than hunting monsters overtime will.’
Those were his words.
His level hadn’t changed but his attack power had increased by several times.
Simply raising his level wouldn’t have allowed him to break an insurmountable wall.
Sususu.
However, the moment that Kang-jun gained enlightenment...
The men fighting Kang-jun disappeared and a new man appeared with an atmosphere incomparable to before.
"The path of transcendence is far away. You have just found the entrance to it.”
He immediately wielded his sword after speaking.
Flash!
Despite being 20 metres away, the flash from his sword reached Kang-jun.
Paak!
Kang-jun was startled and blocked it quickly.
"Ugh!"
Kang-jun was pushed back 10 metres. He blocked it with his sword but it felt like he was hit by a hammer.
’What is this?’
It was clearly Heavenly Cut.
Yet it was shot from a distance like an arrow being fired.
Flash!Flash!
This time, two flashes came flying. Kang-jun rolled his body and avoided it.
Kwaang!Kwaang!
After being hit by the Heavenly Cuts, the ground shook like a bomb had exploded.
Kang-jun ran forward and wielded his sword.
Kakang!Kang!Kakang!
The two swords collided. It wasn’t easy to find a gap when the man seemed to have a perfect Heaven’s Blood Sword Style.
Seokeok!
Still, Kang-jun succeeded in cutting the man’s neck.
[3,000 chaos power has been acquired.]
However, this was just the beginning.
Soon, there were two men with the same abilities.
’Shit! I have to win somehow.’
By the way, he didn’t like the idea of gaining enlightenment blindly. The enemy became stronger whenever he became enlightened.
That made filling up his chaos power more difficult.
However, even so, he couldn’t not receive enlightenment.
Perhaps, it was more important to gain enlightenment than to raise the level of his wings.
‘I have to endure as long as possible!’
Kang-jun fought desperately.
This was a place he couldn’t enter twice.
If he could upgrade his wings one more time, he wouldn’t feel any regret.
Meanwhile, in the time that Kang-jun was the Guardian Hall...
Yoo Seung-hwan - Hardis was shocked at his base in the Seyoung building.
Originally, it had been normal for his military adviser Anas, a shadow sovereign, to meet him.
Additionally, a scroll from Commander Heksia should have arrived.
However, what was this?
He suddenly saw a woman who was waiting for him.
The face of the woman wearing a red robe was beautiful but her bloody red eyes gave her an eerie feeling.
"Don’t be surprised, Hardis. My name is Kelnia. I came here under the name of Colladikus.
“W-what are you talking about?"
Yoo Seung-hwan freaked out. He didn’t know why a subordinate of the Second Demon King Colladikus had showed up here.
Kelnia stared at him coldly.
"Did you forget? You are now a subordinate of Colladikus.”
“W-what is this?”
Yoo Seung-hwan’s expression became stiff.
He suddenly recalled the dream he had the day before yesterday.
"Then that wasn’t a dream?”
"You just wanted it to be a dream. However, a dream isn’t just a dream when it comes to sovereigns involved in Hwanmong. You won’t be able to turn back now that you have agreed to join Colladikus.”
“Ohh! T-that is ridiculous.”
Yoo Seung-hwan grabbed his hair and screamed.
No matter how he thought about it, this couldn’t be happening.
It was crazy to become the subordinate of the demon king who invaded Earth.
“Hohoho! Aside from you, quite a few sovereigns were chosen by Colladikus but you are lucky, Hardis.”
“Lucky? What are you saying?”
"The rules of Hwanmong will no longer constrain you. There is no need to perform missions or go to hell when defeated.”
"Really?"
"Of course. Additionally, be assured that your men are safe.”
At the end of those words, Yoo Seung-hwan could see Anas and his troops.
After purchasing buildings, he had constantly summoned troops, so he had 2,000 orc warriors.
"Soon, there will be a great battle on the Bloody Battlefield. Most of the commanders will be called and the sovereigns will be left behind in Hwanmong. Then you can sweep away the nearby sovereigns with me.”
Yoo Seung-hwan flinched.
“Right now, the red moon has risen. War between sovereigns is forbidden...”
“Stupid person. Didn’t you hear my words? You are not a sovereign now. You don’t need to worry about the rules of Hwanmong,”
Kelnia said with a meaningful smile.
“Hohot! Why don’t you be honest? You can use this opportunity to take care of someone you don’t like. Sovereign Lucan! He is the first one we will aim at.”
Yoo Seung-hwan was surprised. He shook his head immediately.
"He isn’t someone who can be defeated so easily.”
"He will also be going to the Bloody Battlefield today. We can sweep away his base.”
“Ohh! There is that method!”
"Huhut, if all the bases disappear, you know what will happen to the sovereign."
“Huhu, of course I know.”
There was a smile on Yoo Seung-hwan’s face.
Kelnia laughed wickedly.
"And even if he is there, you don’t need to worry. Kurao will arrive here shortly.”
Shortly after her words finished. There was a loud sound like something heavy landed on the roof.
Kelnia’s eyes lit up.
"He is here."
Yoo Seung-hwan went up to the roof with Kelnia.
At the centre of the extended rooftop was a huge monster with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a horse.
The centaur lord, Kurao!
He was one of the advanced lords under the Second Demon King.
Kurao looked down at Kelnia and Yoo Seung-hwan and cried out,
"Ready?"
“Yes, the army is ready to move at any time.”
Kelnia was very polite in front of Kurao. Yoo Seung-hwan also bowed his head for some reason.
Then Kurao said to Yoo Seung-hwan,
“Hardis! Because of you, I was able to come to this place with Kelnia. If you win this battle, you will become one of the rulers of this Hwanmong and your real estate will be multiplied by thousands of times.”
"Ohh, is that true?"
A ruler of Earth Hwanmong! He would become a thousand times richer in reality!
His heart started beating really wildly.
It was something he hadn’t dreamed of as a sovereign.
There was a smile of satisfaction on Yoo Seung-hwan’s face.
After a while, at the headquarters of Earth Hwanmong’s Defense Army...
Rainkar and the other senior commanders had been having a meeting when someone came towards them while shouting,
“The enemy is attacking. They are heading toward Lucan’s base. There is a huge number of them.”
The senior commanders paled.
"Did the Second Demon King recover his power? Right now, it is extremely unfavourable towards them.”
"If he has a lot of numbers, the disadvantage can be offset. There is no time. We should go and check.”
The commanders moved to the Bloody Battlefield and Lucan’s base immediately.
Rainkar, who was the first one to arrive, looked up at the sky and frowned.
“The Second Demon King is coming. The three commanders as well! What are they trying to do now?”
His body instantly disappeared from the spot.
Kwarurung!Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
Rainkar and the Second Demon King immediately collided far away.
Additionally, Ligas and the other advanced commanders collided with the three demon commanders.
Kururung!Kwaang!Woorururu!
“Kikikiki!”
"Kukukuk!”
A large number of monsters descended. The horizon was literally filled with monsters.
“Go and stop them. This base absolutely can’t be taken.”
1st Commander Binhaim ordered the other commanders. His expression hardened as he watched the endlessly encroaching army of the Second Demon King.
’He mobilized all his power here. We have the disadvantage.’
He immediately shouted to one of the commanders.
"Tell the other commanders to come and support this place immediately.”
“Yes.”
Soon, all the lower commanders, who led the sovereigns, moved to the Bloody Battlefield.
At that moment...
The sovereigns under the Second Demon King, including Hardis, started their departure.
Among them, Hardis led 2,000 orc warriors and marched towards the Yugang building owned by Kang-jun. Next to him was the dark mage Kelnia and the centaur lord was in the front.
The first one to catch sight of them was Kajel.
Kajel, who had increased his abilities steadily due to Kang-jun’s achievement rewards, was able to see Hardis’ camp from a distance.
He immediately reported the situation to Keirun.
“Keirun! Hardis’ army is coming here. There is supposedly an advanced lord of the Second Demon King in the lead.
"Hrm."
Keirun didn’t panic. It was somewhat surprising but he had experienced this situation several times as a sovereign.
Therefore, he knew that the Second Demon King might attack this way.
No, it was what he had been hoping for.
Now, he had some justification for a conquest war.
It was why he had been so passionate about increasing the power of the base while the red moon was up.
‘Hardis! I feel compelled to thank you.’
There was a sneer on his face.
