Chapter 78: Total Sovereign War (1)

Last time, he had killed the ghoul lord at Geumho-dong and received 300 achievement points.

When that was combined, he had earned a total of 1,750 points.  Kang-jun’s had 1,850 achievement points when the 100 points given at the beginning was added.

‘That is three times over my previous achievements points.’

The fact that he took the naga queen into his household had given him such a fraudulent achievement.

In the last evaluation period, he gained three levels and two charisma points with only 560 achievement points. So, what would he receive this time?

Just like a good student waiting for a report card to come out quickly, Kang-jun also wished for the next evaluation period to arrive.

Of course, most sovereigns hoped the next assessment period would be delayed as much as possible.

Heksia gazed at Kang-jun and declared,

“Lucan, you have gained the naga queen and it could be said that you have the best power among the sovereigns. The commanders can’t ignore this. After the red moon is gone, I can’t attack you anymore. Damn!”

“You can still try it.”

Heksia then shook her head with a smile.

“No, it’s not like that.”

“When we first met, I remember you said that you would see me after the red moon. You decreed I would pay for my actions against your clone.”

In fact, Heksia had really told him that. Kang-jun felt it was unpleasant she tried to deny it.

“So, I was preparing to see you after the red moon was gone.”

Heksia looked embarrassed. She laughed awkwardly and said,

“Hoho! I guess I did. Forget it. Why would you remember something like that?”

“I can never forget that.”

“Then are you going to attack me?”

“Let’s see. Well, I don’t know yet. Now that the red moon is rising, I will concentrate on fighting the Second Demon King.”

He didn’t necessarily mean his words. Heksia stared at Kang-jun with wary eyes.

Then Grania said urgently from beside him.

“Lucan, what about me? I have done nothing wrong. Isn’t that right?”

“War is like a jungle. It is natural for a strong person to eat the weak.”

“What? What does that mean?”

“I don’t mean anything.”

“Then you won’t?”

“I can’t say for sure. I don’t know what the world will be like.”

After the red moon was over, Grania might end up losing to him. Therefore, she also watched Kang-jun with wary eyes.

“Bah! In the end, you’re aiming for me.”

Of course, Kang-jun didn’t intend to attack Heksia or Grania after the red moon was over.

To be honest, he didn’t know what buildings they were occupying.

He just wanted to play a prank due to Heksia’s previous words and Grania was just standing next to her.

It was a joke because they didn’t know the naga queen was only responsible for defending Kang-jun’s bases.

As he had already seen, even Heksia and Grania combined couldn’t defeat the naga queen.  In other words, if Kang-jun attacked with the naga queen, Heksia and Grania would suffer.

Was there anything else? Heksia seemed to take Kang-jun’s joke very seriously. After seeing her stiffened expression, Kang-jun said hastily,

“It was a joke. I want to go to the end with Commander-nim, so don’t worry.”

“Bah! A joke?”

“You don’t know that it is joke.”

They stared at Kang-jun with challenging eyes.

“It can’t be helped. I’m going to attack Lucan after the red moon.”

“Me too. I need to hit first in order to live. I’m going to lead my troops.”

They really seemed like they were going to strike first. Kang-jun started sweating as he tried to soothe them.

“It really was a joke.”

“That is nonsense. You are too strong to accept it as a joke.”

However, their expressions had relaxed considerably. Kang-jun smiled.

“We are comrades. Comrades have a closer relationship than friends! I won’t betray you. I want to go together with you until the end.”

“Go together until the end?”

“Of course. We will be friendly even after the red moon has passed. Feel free to come to my base to play.”

Heksia smiled.

“Hrmm. I will consider it.”

“Okay. I guess we don’t need to be enemies.”

Grania’s expression brightened.

‘I’m glad they are more relaxed.’

In fact, his words were true to a certain extent.

He truly would wait and see if he would attack them or not.

In the future, he would try to obtain them when he had enough charisma.

Originally, he hadn’t planned such a thing.

He hadn’t imagined it would be possible.

However, he was capable of it now that the naga queen had been brought into his household.

‘I have a chance to obtain Heksia and Grania if I have enough charisma.’

If he got the naga queen, Heksia and Grania, then Kang-jun would become more powerful. The defense would be left to the naga queen, while Kang-jun would sweep the area with Heksia.

So, it was necessary to make the relationship with them as good as possible.

It seemed difficult but he seemed to be getting closer as he saw their warm gazes. They felt better after Kang-jun emphasized that they were comrades.

Then Heksia suddenly said,

“I almost forgot to tell you. Be firmly prepared the next time you enter.”

“I guess there will be a great battle again.”

“It is something more important than that. Our army is fortunate to have a competent sovereign like you. However, the actual situation of the defense forces in Earth Hwanmong isn’t that good. In recent years, the situation has become quite disastrous.”

“A disastrous situation?”

Grania replied with a mournful expression.

“13 of the army commanders have been killed.”

Kang-jun was puzzled. That was impossible!

“Isn’t it possible for the dead to be resurrected while the red moon is up?”

“There is a zone where resurrection is impossible and the fiercest battle is occurring there.”

“Where is that place?”

“The Bloody Battlefield. It is the end if you die there.”

It was obvious just by the name – the Bloody Battlefield.

“There are no sovereigns there. It is the place where the strongest powers under the Second Demon King are gathered.”

If the sovereigns appeared there, they would be destroyed. Resurrection was impossible.

“Then 13 commanders are dead.”

Heksia nodded.

“It was outside of the power of the sovereigns, so I hadn’t mentioned it but now things have changed.”

She continued speaking.

“If we are pushed back on the Bloody Battlefield, it will be over. Sooner or later, some of the army commanders, including myself, will have to go and support the Bloody Battlefield.”

“Um.”

“Then there will be many armies without commanders. Therefore, the commanders met and have decided to hold a competition to select the strongest total sovereigns to appoint them as new commanders.”

A competition between the total sovereigns.  If so, it meant that Kang-jun also had a chance to become commander.

Heksia said with intense eyes,

“Next time you come here, there will be a competition among the total sovereigns. The ones ranked from 1st to 10th will become commanders.”

“Then what is good about becoming a commander?”

With his abilities, he would be able to compete with the other total sovereigns. However, he was unwilling to become a commander if he needed to lead the other sovereigns.

Heksia grinned.

“If you become a commander. you can obtain wings.”

“Wings?”

Heksia pointed to the mysterious wings behind her.

“These aren’t simple wings. It is a token of a commander and symbol of our strength. Of course, you can hide the wings and only unfold them when necessary.”

Heksia shrugged and her wings disappeared.

“Each wing has a special ability that can increase your attack power by at least two times. Of course, it can be used permanently, at least until the moment when the wearer dies.”

“I see.”

Kang-jun’s eyes shone. If so, he absolutely needed to get into the top 10 to receive the wings.

Grania continued.

“Although it is unlikely for the total sovereign in my army, I am hoping that Lucan does well. You should preferably reach first place.”

“Is there a better reward if I’m first?”

“There is a difference between first and second place. It hasn’t been decided yet but it will be substantial. The most important thing is the wing option.”

“Wing option?”

“You will be allowed to pick from the wings of the army commanders who died based on the order of your rank. Once the wings are picked, you can’t turn back.”

Then it was Heksia’s turn.

“Wings of Chaos! A commander with these wings were killed. Don’t look at other wings and make sure you choose this one.”

“Is the Wings of Chaos that good?”

“When it comes to combat power, you can think of it as the strongest wings. It is on a different dimension from the wings I have now. I would choose the Wings of Chaos if given a choice but it is impossible since I’ve already picked wings.”

Heksia looked depressed. It was the same for Grania.

“There are only three commanders with the Wings of Chaos in this whole area of Hwanmong. Now that one of them is dead, there are only two people left. This is a chance that won’t come twice. That is why you must be in first place.”

“Right, I understand. I’ll try.”

Wings of Chaos! It was an opportunity to become a commander and it was only possible when a commander with wings died.

Their appearances then started to blur.

[The door to Hwanmong is closed.]

[Your time in the world of Hwanmong is over.]

The 5th floor of the Yugang building.

“You woke up.”

Hayun greeted him with a bright smile today.

It was normal for when he woke up from Hwanmong.

Although Hwanmong was different from normal dreams, to a certain extent, he felt displeasure when he woke up.

However, that disappeared whenever he saw Hayun’s smiling face.

It felt good to come back to reality.

Kang-jun felt better to start the morning with a pleasant smile.

“Thank you for always watching my side Hayun.”

“There is no need to thank me. It is a pleasure for me.”

It wasn’t a big deal but Hayun looked very pleased.

Shortly after showering, Kang-jun tested out Dark Transparency.

Sususu. 

Five black magic energy was consumed and Kang-jun’s appearance became transparent, including the clothes he wore.

He couldn’t see anything when standing in front of the mirror.

‘Huhu, indeed.’

Kang-jun laughed as he looked at the mirror. It was great he could use the transparency ability in reality.

It was a useful skill for Kang-jun.

Yiing. 

Then the Skia rang. It was from Lawyer Han Yeon-soo.
