Chapter 75: Naga Queen (2)

"Ohh!”

The sovereigns were terrified . Some were so surprised, they flopped down .

Fortunately, there were no victims of the bombardment due to a transparent shield .

It was a shield Commander Grant had activated . Her right hand was holding a staff .

She smiled as she stared up at the sky .

"The naga queen has started attacking . We should go now . ”

After speaking, she flew into the sky .

Suuk .

Then a whip appeared in Heksia’s right hand . Today, she was fighting with a weapon instead of unarmed .

‘Is a whip her main weapon?’

Heksia suddenly turned and glanced at Kang-jun, then immediately flew upwards .

She didn’t say anything but he could understand the look in her eyes . She was telling him to destroy the Jewel of Darkness as soon as possible .

'Okay . Shall I start?’

Kang-jun rushed toward the fortress .

A naga had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake . There were males and females but most of them were more powerful than vampires .

He needed to pass through at least 1,000 nagas to arrive at the fortress . At the fortress, there would be a great number of troops guarding the Jewel of Darkness .

‘The difficulty is definitely higher compared to the vampire lord . ’

He couldn’t afford to move with the allied sovereigns today . They also knew that Kang-jun couldn’t afford to take care of their party .

"There is an enemy!”

“Bah! How dare you come here?”

The nagas found Kang-jun who was in the vanguard . A naga with the upper body of a man approached first and swung a spear .

Sswing! Sswiing!

Four arms . Each of the two arms gripped a spear, so they were hard to ignore .

However, Kang-jun avoided the spears lightly and sliced the naga’s waist .

Sukeok!

“Kuack!”

“Kuaack!”

The upper body wasn’t supported by the lower body anymore, so the naga died . Kang-jun moved forward without any hesitation .

His goal wasn’t to annihilate enemies but to arrive at the Jewel of Darkness at the fastest speed!

Therefore, he advanced and only defeated the enemies that blocked his path .

“Kukukuk! Where are you going?”

“Stop him . ”

Countless nagas surrounded him . The body of a snake meant that their speed was ridiculously fast . Unlike when he rushed through the vampires, it wasn’t easy to move forward if he took care of them one by one .

‘Heavenly Unyielding Slash!’

A wide area skill was useful in cases like these .

Flash! Paaaah!

"Aack!"

"Cough!"

“Aaack!”

Although 50 black magic energy points were consumed and 20 nagas were killed at once .

There was a moment of silence . The nagas were so astonished that they hesitated .

Snap!

Meanwhile, Kang-jun drank a bottle of black energy recovery potion and looked at the dropped items .

[52 nodes have been gained . ]

[An intermediate black magic energy potion has been obtained . ]

[One small moonstone has been acquired . ]

[48 nodes have been gained . ]

[One intermediate health potion has been acquired . ]

He picked up the moonstones . The remaining money and japtem would be moved to the warehouse when left alone .

However, Kang-jun had recovered his black magic energy . It was so that he could use his skills freely while moving . In order to do that, he needed to keep his black magic energy at the maximum . He was dealing with formidable enemies, after all .

‘Heavenly Unyielding Slash!’

Flash! Paaaah!

"Aaaagh!"

"Kaaack!"

One person behind Kang-jun stared at the way he broke through the nagas .

It was Radel, the total sovereign .

Kang-jun opened the path, so Radel was able to take care of some nagas behind him .

‘Euh! Is he human?’

His expression was tinged with amazement . The sight of Kang-jun taking out 20 nagas at once was cool .

'Shit! I have to admit it’s cool . However, I will be the final winner . ’

It was highly likely there would be a final battle in front of the Jewel of Darkness as a very powerful being was probably guarding the Jewel of Darkness .

While Kang-jun was fighting the guardian, Radel would rush out and destroy the Jewel of Darkness .

‘Huhu, the money that the bear made will be taken by the king . ’

There was a meaningful smile on Radel’s face as he followed Kang-jun .

Meanwhile, the other sovereigns were engaged in fierce combat with the nagas .

The sovereigns had become very cautious and smart! Those who experienced a bitter taste during the evaluation had changed .

Rather than recklessly moving alone, they formed parties and prioritized their own survival . As soon as they were injured, they moved to the back of the party and drank a potion .

So, no one had died yet .

There were a few parties that showed outstanding skills, including Avia’s party . It was the same for the party led by Hardis .

Kwarurung! Kwa kwang!

There was an endless battle in the sky . The naga queen was dealing with both Heksia and Grania alone .

She looked at the situation below and frowned, then threw something down towards the ground .

Hwik!

It was a single bead . As soon as it hit the ground, clouds emerged and turned into the naga queen .

It was the naga queen’s clone!

"No?”

“Damn!”

Heksia and Grania panicked . It would be difficult for the sovereigns if the naga queen’s clone started moving .

However, there was no time for them to worry about that .

The naga queen was pushing them harder than before .

“Ridiculous things! Receive the queen’s anger!”

Hwing hwing hwing!

Countless red blades flew towards Heksia and Grania .

Kuwang! Kwarurung! Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

While the vibrant battle was occurring in the sky, the naga queen’s clone on the ground rushed towards the sovereigns .

Papapa! Papapat!

Sharps barbs pierced the necks of the sovereigns and their limbs were cut off .

"Aack!"

"Ack!"

The difference in combat power was so large that the parties couldn’t stop it . A party of 10 sovereigns were destroyed by the naga queen’s clone in an instant .

The nagas stunned by the sovereigns started their assault again .

“Aaack!”

“Kuak!"

"Shit!”

The sovereigns started collapsing . Following Hardis’ party, Avia’s group ended up dying .

All the sovereigns, except for Kang-jun, Radel and Zenith who had passed through the vanguard of the nagas, were annihilated .

The naga queen’s clone threw a spear that pierced through Zenith’s throat .

“Kuaack!”

At that moment, Kang-jun felt a sense of uncertainty and looked back .

‘No, that is?’

A naga was rushing at him at a tremendous speed .

“Hohoho! Where are you busy going? Human!”

Of course, Kang-jun didn’t know that this was the naga queen’s clone . He could only sense the naga had an unbelievably strong presence .

Hwi hwi hwi hwik! Papapat!

Many spears flew at Kang-jun . The spears cut off all of Kang-jun’s movements and cornered him .

Chang! Chachachang! Kakakakak! Kakang!

Kang-jun calmly swung his sword and blocked all the spears . There was no time to use a skill and he had to concentrated completely on defense .

‘Why the hell is this naga so strong? Perhaps it is the queen’s clone?’

The appearance of the naga was different compared to the others .

She had bright red hair . Clear-cut features . Unlike the normal nagas with grey skin, she had skin that was as white as snow . Furthermore, her chest was covered with a golden bikini-like underwear . Other female nagas showed their breasts, so it was unusual that this one was covered .

Anyway, she was a great beauty, just based on the upper half .

Of course, Kang-jun wasn’t deluded by her beauty, so he didn’t hesitate to attack . Although her upper body was pretty, her lower body was a snake . She was just a monster .

Flash! Jijijik!

Even though a few spears got through and hit him, the Ghoul Lord’s Heavy Armour displayed its power and not that much health was consumed .

A strong and challenging opponent .

It wouldn’t be easy to kill her quickly!

"It is amazing that you are such a powerful swordsman . ”

The naga queen’s clone sincerely expressed her admiration for Kang-jun’s swordsmanship .

Her eyes shone .

However, she was a scarier opponent .

Kang-jun couldn’t find any gaps while he kept defending against the spears .

However, that only lasted for a short while .

Kang-jun grasped the pattern of the spears’ flow and started to swiftly move his sword .

And then he spotted gap .

Flash!

Kang-jun didn’t hesitate as a flash emerged from his sword .

Chwack!

"Kuook!”

Blood spurted from the clone’s chest and Kang-jun followed up with a slice to the neck .

Sukeok!

The naga queen’s clone that lost her head stood still .

[Experience has been gained . ]

[3,820 nodes have been gained . ]

[52 small moonstones have been acquired . ]

[27 large moonstones have been acquired . ]

[The naga queen’s silver box has been acquired . ]

His level didn’t rise despite killing the clone of a lord . There wasn’t even a mission .

Still, at least he had a solid profit of nodes and moonstones . Furthermore, there was a silver box .

What was in it?

Anyway, he decided to check it after it was safer . Right now, it was imperative to break the Jewel of Darkness .

Kang-jun plunged into the fortress immediately .

"The enemy!"

“Stop him!”

There were nagas wandering around inside the fortress . Most of them were big nagas with two or three upper bodies joined to one lower body .

They could be called giant nagas but to Kang-jun, they were no different from normal nagas .

‘Heavenly Unyielding Slash!’

Flash! Paaaat!

After gathering 20 monsters in one area, he used the wide area skill to wipe them out .

The man following Kang-jun was upset . It was none other than Radel .

He was lucky enough to survive .

It was because the naga queen’s clone aimed for Kang-jun straight after Zenith . Radel was thankful for such luck but was shocked after seeing Kang-jun take care of the clone .

'I really want to be that person . Huhu, but I still have a chance . ’

He hadn’t given up . Rather, this was currently his best chance . Radel and Kang-jun were the only ones left .

On the other hand, Kang-jun knew from the beginning that Radel was following him and his reason for following Kang-jun was obvious .

‘It won’t turn out as he wants . ’

The shiny Jewel of Darkness wasn’t far away . There was no powerful presence that could threaten Kang-jun since he had already destroyed the clone .

However, if he fought the dozens of nagas guarding it then Radel might destroy the Jewel of Darkness first .

Kang-jun moved between them . He had at least 10 nagas following him .

At this point, Kang-jun could use his wide area skill . Instead, he used Aura of the Wind to run in a certain direction . It was the area where Radel was .

"Huheok! W-what?”

Radel flinched but the nagas had already reached him . Kang-jun laughed .

"It is hard on my own, so take care of them . ”

Kang-jun killed a naga and escaped from the encirclement . The nagas then rushed toward Radel .

"Ugh, damn it! Cowardly bastard!”

Radel cursed Kang-jun . However, right now, he had to fight against the nagas in order to live .

He was a total sovereigns, so despite being surrounded by 10, he didn’t panic and endured .

In the meantime, Kang-jun was approaching the Jewel of Darkness .

"Aaaack!”

At that moment, he heard a scream from the sky .

Kang-jun looked up with surprise as a woman with blue wings crashed down .

It was Commander Grania . Her body turned into smoke just before hitting the ground and disappeared .

‘Damn!’

Grania had died . The problem was that Heksia was completely bloody . It seemed like she would soon receive Grania’s fate .

‘I need to take care of the Jewel of Darkness instantly!’

Paak!

Kang-jun smashed the Jewel of Darkness with his sword .

Then the naga queen’s body trembled .

“Euh! Damn it!”

“Huhut, you are now finished . ”

There was a smile of victory on Heksia’s face . She struck with her whip .

However, the naga queen just snorted .

“Bah! Who is finished?”

Her spear gleamed and penetrated Heksa’s chest .

"Die!”

At the same time, Heksia’s whip wound around the naga queen’s waist .

“Aaack!”

"Kuook!”

Heksia and the naga queen attacked each other in a matter of seconds after Kang-jun shattered the Jewel of Darkness .

Pasususu .

Heksia’s body disappeared into smoke .

What was this?

The naga queen didn’t die . Her bloody figure fell to the ground and she immediately jumped up .

“Bah!”

"Kuaaaak!"

She entered the fortress without hesitation and pierced Radel with her spear .

Kwatang!

After skewering Radel, she threw his body away and rushed to Kang-jun .

"Now, you are the only one left . Die . ”

The naga queen’s eyes glared at him coldly and she wielded her spear furiously .

Flash!

A red flash like lightning flew toward him from a distance and Kang-jun quickly rolled his body . . .

Kwaang!

The ground where he had been standing split apart .

'Shit! What do they want me to do if I died?’

Kang-jun was in a troubling situation . Grania and Heksia had died and yet, the naga queen hadn’t died yet .

Of course, Kang-jun would be resurrected after dying .

However, he found it difficult to give up . The Jewel of Darkness had also been smashed .

'Shit!'

Kang-jun raised the Vampire Lord’s Sword .

‘I will try it once . ’
