Chapter 89: Ratian Lord (2)

Andras was surprised to see that Kang-jun was facing the ratian lord alone .

‘Lucan! When did he get stronger again?’

‘I can’t believe it . He already has a lord level combat power . ’

They thought they understood Kang-jun, but that wasn’t the case .

He had a different combat power compared to a few days ago!

However, it was great to see now . If it wasn’t for Kang-jun, they would have been killed by the ratian lord .

That’s right . Now wasn’t the time to be jealous of how strong Lucan was .

This was the Bloody Battlefield . It was a dangerous place where they could die . They would think about their jealousy after leaving the battlefield .

'We must gather our strength . ’

Andras struck the surrounding monsters in order to make it easier for Kang-jun to deal with the ratian lord . Damas, Agnus and Fade agreed .

Thanks to this, Kang-jun could fight the ratian lord more reliably .

‘Heavenly Cut!’

Flash! Sukeok!

Kang-jun swiftly aimed Heavenly Cut at a gap in the ratian lord’s movements and cut off his left hand .

"Kuooh!”

The body of the ratian lord shook from the pain . However, surprisingly, a new hand appeared where the previous one was cut off .

An extreme regeneration ability .

That wasn’t the end .

"Kukuku! I didn’t realize that I would have to use this against a trivial human sovereign . ”

The ratian lord muttered .

At that moment, someone with the same appearance as him showed up .

‘Two against one?’

The ratian lord thought he would be able to win by joining up with his clone, but Kang-jun was still confident .

In the meantime, he had grasped the attack patterns of the ratian lord . The clone was also much weaker, so he wasn’t worried .

However, Kang-jun was mistaken .

“Go! Go and destroy him!”

At the command of the ratian lord, the clone flew towards Kang-jun . It was a strange attack without any defense .

'What?'

Kang-jun immediately swung the Vampire Lord’s Sword .

Sukeok!

At that moment, the clone literally exploded .

Kwaang!

‘This!’

Kang-jun tried to avoid it, but the explosion caused a powerful shock wave that struck him .

"Kuuack!”

Kang-jun was blown away and crashed into the ground .

Kuuong!

Andras and the others were startled to see it .

Until now, Kang-jun had been obviously pushing the ratian lord back . Therefore, they couldn’t imagine the situation changing like this .

An explosion!

It was a terrible attack caused by the clone exploding . That explosive force was terrifying .

Andras and the others also received some damage despite holding back the mobs from a distance .

Kang-jun wouldn’t have been safe despite the good armour he was wearing . So, it wasn’t surprising that Kang-jun crashed into the ground .

His condition was horrible . Blood gushed from his body, turning the nearby land red .

Andras and the others looked down at him with mixed expressions .

‘Lucan’s efforts were in vain . ’

‘He must be dead . ’

Originally, they would have been delighted by this situation . However, their hearts were heavy .

If Lucan, the number one sovereign in Earth Hwanmong, had died, they definitely would not be safe .

It was their turn next .

“Kikikik! Do you see it? Insignificant human sovereigns!”

The ratian lord flew towards Andras and the others .

At that moment . . .

Kang-jun, who had been lying stiffly on the ground, opened his eyes .

He staggered upwards .

"Ugh!"

Despite his terrible state, he was still alive .

Health: 821/2970 .

Additionally, he still had 821 health left .

He had been in a state of shock from the unexpected explosion but now, he had woken up .

Kang-jun poured a health potion into his mouth and laughed bitterly .

‘Will of Survival saved me . ’

It was the new ability that appeared when Wings of Chaos reached Stage 2 .

[Your health has dropped below 30% . ]

[Will of Survival has activated . ]

[Your physical and magic defense will increase significantly when Will of Survival is activated . ]

This was the reason .

It was precisely at the moment when his health had dropped to 891 points . The ability was automatically triggered even though Kang-jun himself wasn’t conscious .

At that point, the impact of the explosion gradually decreased until the damage stopped at 821 points .

His defense had soared to offset the damage .

[An Aok has been found . ]

In this situation, he noticed an Aok that he couldn’t detect from the sky . The impact of the explosion caused the dust to rise and reveal the hidden Aok .

Of course, the Aok was located in another space, so it wasn’t visible .

Only a person who had a key would be able to see it .

A fiercely shining lock .

It had been buried in the ground and only just revealed itself .

‘What is inside the Aok?’

However, now wasn’t the time to wonder about that . He would think about the Aok after killing the ratian lord .

‘My health is too low, so I have to fill it up . ’

Snap! Snap!

As Kang-jun drank a potion, the ratian lord frowned .

"You didn’t die in the explosion! Tough bastard . Then I will completely stop your breathing . ”

He immediately flew down to the ground where Kang-jun was and started attacking . The axe flew towards Kang-jun like a storm .

Sswing! Swi sswing!

Kang-jun immediately threw away the potion and defended .

'Shit!'

An advanced health potion would only restore 300 points of health .

However, he didn’t drink it, so it couldn’t be restored .

Health: 1021/2970 .

Although it was over 1,000 points, his body’s movements were slow due to the explosion .

Kakang! Kakakaang!

He could barely defend, let alone fight back .

At that moment . . .

Agnus, who had been watching from the sky, descended and chanted a spell .

"Have strength, Lucan . Great Healing!”

Hwaaack!

A bright light poured from her staff and wrapped around Kang-jun .

Health: 1532/2970 .

Surprisingly, more than 500 points of health were recovered at once . However, she didn’t stop and kept using her magic until Kang-jun’ health was full .

Health: 2970/2970 .

Agnus had amazing recovery magic .

It was amazing, but it was also surprising that she didn’t hesitate to use it on Kang-jun .

She was also wounded and bloody from the explosion but she used the magic on Kang-jun instead of herself .

In this unexpected situation, Agnus smiled at Kang-jun .

"Don't think too much . I am just following Rainkar’s words . ”

In the Bloody Battlefield, be allies instead of being wary of each other!

Rainkar had spoken these words to them .

Kang-jun’s heart filled with tenderness .

“I won’t forget your help, Agnus . ”

Thanks to Agnus, his body was restored to his best condition .

Kakang! Chwack! Chwaack!

Kang-jun drove the ratian lord back once again and the ratian lord’s body became covered in black blood .

“Keeeek!”

He staggered back and Kang-jun used Heavenly Cut .

Flash! Seokeok!

The ratian lord’s right arm flew away again .

“Kuoock!”

However, this time, it wasn’t restored like before .

“Y-you will see soon!”

The ratian lord started to quickly flee .

He had come down to the ground, sure of his victory . Now that he was at risk, he decided to escape .

However, the ratian lord wasn’t allowed to fly away .

A flash instantly emerged from Kang-jun’s sword .

‘Heavenly Cut! Heavenly Cut!’

He aimed the skill at the ration lord in succession .

Chwaaaak!

Black smoke emerged from his broken body .

“Ohh! H-how vexing . . . ”

The ratian lord wasn’t able to fly anymore as his health had decreased .

Seokeok!

Kang-jun approached and swung his sword, causing the ratian lord to disappear .

[Your level has risen . ]

[Your level has risen . ]

[Your level has risen . ]

[Your level has risen . ]

He gained four levels in an instant .

[8,402 nodes have been gained . ]

[123 small moonstones have been acquired . ]

[52 large moonstones have been acquired . ]

[You have earned 500 red moon achievement points . ]

[28 Essence of Darkness have been acquired . ]

[The ratian lord’s silver box has been acquired . ]

[The ratian lord’s golden box has been acquired . ]

[Mission 15 has been completed . ]

[As a reward, enough experience will be given to increase your level . ]

[15,000 nodes have been given as compensation . ]

[60 large moonstones have been given as compensation . ]

When combined with the mission rewards, he gained five levels .

Thanks to that, Kang-jun was now Lv45 .

He had become stronger .

Kang-jun laughed proudly .

‘Huhu, I defeated a boss monster and gained 500 achievement points . ’

Additionally, he gained two treasure boxes, one silver and one golden .

He wondered about what was in the boxes, but now wasn’t the time to open them .

In the meantime, monsters were flocking in from all over the place .

At the same time, Agnus also gained a level .

She used a few recovery spells on Kang-jun, so she was acknowledged as contributing to the death of the ratian lord .

Additionally, Andras and the others dealt with the surrounding monsters while Kang-jun was facing the ratian lord . Therefore, they also gained a level .

When combined, Kang-jun gained five level, Agnus two levels and the rest one level .

So, everyone was in the best condition . They weren’t afraid of the monsters flocking from all over the place .

However, Kang-jun screamed inwardly as he saw them approach .

‘Damn! I wanted to try opening the Aok . ’

However, now wasn't the right time .

"Lord level monsters are coming, so we should avoid them . ”

He could barely face one, let alone two .

“Yes, let’s go back to the magic circle . ”

“I also think that as well . ”

Just as they were about to flee . . .

A familiar silhouette could be seen in the sky .

It was the commander who looked like a demon, Ligas .

Many troops were flying behind him .

He was leading his troops against the enemy .

The Second Demon King’s monsters were frightened and started to flee .

"Pursue and kill them . ”

“Yes . ”

After seeing the minions of the Second Demon King running away, Andras and the others sighed with relief .

Ligas flew down after discovering Kang-jun .

“What are you doing here? Where is Rainkar?”

"He is now in a battle with the Second Demon King Colladikus . ”

Kang-jun briefly explained what happened . Ligas didn’t look surprised to hear it .

In fact, Rainkar fought the Second Demon King at least once or twice a day .

Rather, he was more interested in the fact that Kang-jun had defeated the ratian lord .

‘Even if the ratian lord was a lower ranked lord, it is amazing that he could kill him . He is a really amazing guy . As expected from the one Rainkar was keeping an eye on . ’

However, unlike his inner thoughts, Ligas spoke with a cold tone .

“You are lucky . It isn’t enough that you’ve lived through it this time . Once again, it is more important to learn how to survive than to be strong . ”

“I will keep that in mind . ”

Kang-jun nodded and Ligas spoke once again .

“Now, return to the magic circle . I will go to where Rainkar is . ”

“Yes . Ligas . ”

Ligas flew into the sky and quickly disappeared .

Andras also flew upwards .

However, Kang-jun didn’t move . He was staring at the lock revealed on the ground .

"Aren’t you joining us, Lucan?”

Agnus asked . Kang-jun nodded .

"I will return after exploring the terrain here a little bit more . ”

“Yes, then I am going . ”

She didn’t ask twice . It was the same for Andras and the others .

They wanted to return to the safe area and leave as soon as possible .

Kang-jun then pulled a key out of his inventory and he placed it in the lock .

A new message appeared .

[Will you open the Aok? Yes/No]
