Chapter 92: Will to Fight (1)

[Health has risen by 2,000 points . ]

[Black magic energy has risen by 2,000 points . ]

"Yay!"

It was finally a success . Surprisingly, this time his health and black magic energy were increased by 2,000 points .

However, that wasn’t all .

[You have awakened the Will to Fight . ]

[When Will to Fight is activated, the energy of chaos will enter your skills . ]

[A skill with chaotic power will ignore the opponent’s defense and deal damage . ]

‘T-this!’

Kang-jun was surprised .

Will to Fight was a power that ignored the opponent’s defense!

This meant that if defense was displayed in numbers, his opponent’s defense would be zero at that moment .

In that state, he would be able to inflict huge damage if he unleashed a powerful skill like Heavenly Cut .

'This is a jackpot . ’

It was an ability that consumed 24,000 essences .

However, it was worth every essence .

[This does not apply if the skill is blocked or missed . ]

[1,000 points of chaos power will be consumed every time it is cast . ]

The skill only applied when the opponent was hit .

If the opponent avoided or blocked the skill, it wouldn’t work!

Furthermore, it consumed 1,000 chaos power every time, so Kang-jun couldn’t abuse it .

-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 5: 3000/32000

His chaos power had been filled up to 3,000 points .

Although it should be kept to strengthen the wings, the chaos power allowed him to use Will to Fight three times if he encountered a formidable foe .

‘By the way, it is just the beginning of Stage 5 . ’

32,000 chaos power were required, so he needed 2,134 pieces of moonstones .

What would happen if he collected all of it and failed?

2,134 moonstones would fly away at once .

Then he would find out exactly what it meant to have a mental breakdown .

However, Kang-jun was determined to strengthen his wings as soon as he saw his status window .

Lv . 47 (Exp 00 . 00%)

[War] Intermediate

Health: 6110/6110 .

Black Magic Energy: 5780/5780

The wings increased his attack power and gave various abilities but the rise in health and black magic energy were the most impressive .

‘My health is over 6,000 points . ’

If he fought the ratian lord again, he wouldn’t need to be afraid of dying .

Additionally, his black magic energy was at a level where he didn’t to worry about using Heavenly Cut and Heavenly Unyielding Slash .

This was all due to the upgrade of the wings .

This was only Stage 4, so Stage 5 or 6 would exceed his imagination .

Therefore, although it would be hard, he had to try and collect enough moonstones to strengthen it .

He shouldn’t think of failure .

If he thought about it in advance, he would have to give up everything for the upgrade .

After looking at the status window, he saw two boxes in the inventory below it .

‘That reminds me, I still have the boxes . ’

[Ratian Lord’s Silver Box]

[Ratian Lord’s Golden Treasure Box]

He didn’t have time to open it after the ratian lord dropped it .

‘What is inside?’

The happiest moment in Hwanmong was probably when his level rose .

Of course, he was happier now that his wings level was rising .

Additionally, it was similar to the joy he felt when the abilities of his household members rose .

Now was the time to enjoy the rewards .

‘First is the silver box . ’

Kang-jun left the delicious food for later and opened the silver box first .

[The Guardian’s Heavy Armour has been acquired . ]

[Guardian’s Heavy Armour]

-Rating: Hero

-The Guardian’s Heavy Armour greatly increases physical defense when equipped and slightly increases magic defense .

-Equipped area: Whole body

-20 inventory spaces .

-Wearer Restriction: Strength 18, Agility 15

Hero grade equipment .

‘Equipment came from the silver box . ’

He wanted knowledge or skills, so he felt regret for some reason .

Moreover, it was unnecessary for Kang-jun who already had the Ghoul Lord’s Heavy Armour .

‘I’ll give it to my clone . ’

If it was possible, he wanted to equip legend ranked equipment on his clone . However, that wasn’t easy, so he decided to give the clone hero ranked armour .

He immediately summoned the clone and equipped the Guardian’s Heavy Armour .

It was yellow armour . The shine made it look quite flashy .

He was in a good mood after seeing the shine on his equipment .

Kang-jun smiled .

"Go back – summon release!"

The clone entered his wings again .

‘Next is the golden treasure box!’

In the meantime, other lords had dropped golden treasure boxes and legend ranked items came out with almost no exceptions .

'A heart or Aok Key! Please have one of these two come out . ’

Kang-jun took a deep breath and opened the box .

[Shining Scroll]

However, this time, a scroll emerged unexpectedly .

'A scroll?’

He opened it and all types of strange characters were sucked into his head .

[Advanced ratian knowledge has been acquired . ]

It was knowledge .

[Your attack power against the ratians has increased by 30% . ]

[When a ratian is defeated, the probability of acquiring items will increased by 15% . ]

It didn’t just apply to the ratians but the entire ratian clan .

To his surprise, he gained advanced knowledge of one species .

It was a scroll from a golden treasure box, so it wasn’t an ordinary knowledge scroll .

[You can summon ratian flying soldiers at the barracks . ]

[Ratian Flying Soldier]

-Resources: 300 nodes, 1 Essence of Earth, 1 Essence of Wind

-It is possible to summon if you have 4 charisma points

‘Ratian flying soldiers?’

They were the flying ratians that he’d met a few days ago .

Although Kang-jun easily took care of them, their combat power was several times stronger than the giant ratian warriors . Above all, they could fly, so it was possible to secure air superiority .

That wasn’t the end .

[You can summon ratian rangers at the barracks . ]

[You can summon giant ratian greatsword warriors at the barracks . ]

[Ratian Ranger]

-Resources: 240 nodes, 1 Essence of Earth, 1 Essence of Wind

-It is possible to summon if you have 4 charisma points

[Giant Ratian Greatsword Warrior]

-Resources: 280 nodes, 2 Essence of Earth

-It is possible to summon if you have 4 charisma points

Ratian rangers and giant ratian greatsword warriors!

He could guess easily the power they’d have by the amount of resources required to summon them .

“Lord! Did you obtain advanced ratian knowledge?”

Keirun ran into the warehouse .

His expression was excited .

This was because the information about the troops that could be summoned was immediately sent to the military adviser .

Kang-jun laughed bitterly .

"I thought a legend ranked item would come out from the box but it was only knowledge . ”

Keirun grinned .

"Advanced knowledge about a species is harder to find than legend ranked items . Summoning advanced troop is possible and the power of your allies will be several times stronger . ”

Kang-jun nodded .

"I thought about buying a few buildings, so it is great . Sooner or later, we will own a territory than is several times larger than it is now . ”

"Huhu, then I will build some barracks . ”

Keirun had an earnest expression .

"And we need some Essence of Wind . ”

"I will save it soon . ”

Currently, Kang-jun only saved two types of essences .

1,211 Essence of Earth .

509 Essence of Darkness .

The Essence of Wind had been converted to chaos power .

In the future, it would be better to leave a few hundred of each essences in case this happened again .

"I will use the Essence of Earth to awaken the giant ratian warriors as giant ratian greatsword warriors . ”

“Is that possible?”

"Of course . Only the additional resources are consumed . ”

There were sufficient nodes and essences, so there was no reason to hesitate .

After a while, Kang-jun visited the 439th Army Headquarters .

He wanted to see Commander Heksia before going to the Bloody Battlefield .

Of course, he didn’t come to see her face .

Today’s purpose was to let her know that Kang-jun was still interested in her . Of course, it was interest as a sovereign .

Heksia was in the palace .

The periodic evaluation was over, so the expressions of their sovereigns were completely different from last time .

Among them, Avia smiled proudly at Kang-jun .

“Welcome, Commander Lucan . ”

“Have you been doing well? You seem to be in a great mood . ”

"My level has gone up . ”

"Congratulations . "

“Hoho! Thank you . ”

After Kang-jun left, she had defeated Hardis and Zenith and become the total sovereign of the 439th Army . It was due to the gap caused by participating in the reinforcements mission with Kang-jun .

Therefore, her eyes were filled with confidence and full of favour toward Kang-jun .

Most of the other sovereigns were also favourable toward Kang-jun .

Last time, Kang-jun sold them three or four moonstones and it was a little bit of help in their assessment .

However, Heksia was startled when she saw Kang-jun .

‘I can’t believe it . How did he become some strong in the meantime?’

The atmosphere coming from Kang-jun was unbelievable .

It was so formidable that it couldn’t just be due to a rise in level!

'There's no doubt about it . He upgraded his wings!’

Heksia moved the sovereigns to the battlefield and returned to Kang-jun .

“What brings you here today? If you’re here to talk about what I think you’re talking about, just go back . ”

Kang-jun smiled .

"I came to greet you for a moment before going to the Bloody Battlefield . It isn’t just due to the offer . ”

Kang-jun didn’t deny that he was interested in Heksia joining his household .

At that moment, the small smile on Heksia’s face disappeared .

"You seem to have become quite strong in the meantime . Your aura has changed . ”

"There has been some progress, but I am still far from strong . ”

“Show me your wings . ”

“Wings?”

Kang-jun spread open the Wings of Chaos .

As his wings spread out, a glowing light emerged from them .

However, the light changed to darkness and then an enchanting pink . This kept repeating .

The same was true for the shape . Its form wasn’t constant and kept changing .

“Great . What stage is it now?”

“Stage 4 . ”

Heksia was astonished .

“It is already Stage 4? No way! What was the probability of failure?”

“I failed twice . ”

Heksia’s expression stiffened .

"Just two times? So, it only took three times?”

“Only? 16,000 essences flew away . My luck was really bad . ”

However, Heksia’s expression distorted even more .

She flopped down on the ground with a blank expression and pulled something out of her pocket .

“Hu-!”

A cigarette . The shape was similar to a cigar .

Kang-jun was shocked by Heksia suddenly pulling out the cigarette . He thought she would congratulate him on strengthening the wings, but she was smoking?

“Hu-!”

She had a frown on her face and seemed slightly gloomy .
