Chapter 94: Base Defense (1)

“Kuooooh! You dare!”

The skeleton lord jumped up immediately after falling . He still had a threatening attitude .

However, he was staggering, so he must have suffered serious damage from the previous Heavenly Cut .

‘Heavenly Cut! Heavenly Cut!’

Kang-jun immediately followed up with more attacks .

In order to conserve his chaos power, he refrained from using Will to Fight .

The power was strong but he felt bitter because 1,000 essences flew away at once .

Still, he was able to drive back the skeleton lord because to it .

Pak! Paak!

The magic defense of the armour was dissipated and the skeleton lord started receiving damage .

Jjejejeok!

The skull of the skeleton lord cracked .

“Kuooooh! You will see soon . ”

The skeleton lord started to flee .

'What?'

Kang-jun was dumbfounded . He had never seen a lord level monster fleeing before .

The skeleton lord was also very fast .

'There is no way . ’

Meanwhile, Mission 16 floated in front of him . It was ridiculous to fail a mission because the enemy ran away .

"Kikiki!”

"Kukukuk!”

As Kang-jun tried to chase, the skeletons stood in his path and stopped him . When the skeleton lord called, many of his subordinates appeared .

The skeleton lord intended to run far away while Kang-jun faced his men .

However, a flash of light emerged from Kang-jun’s sword and spread in every direction .

Flash! Kwajik! Kwajijijik!

It was his wide area skill, Heavenly Unyielding Slash .

The skeleton warriors literally turned to dust .

Kang-jun moved through the wreckage of the skeleton warriors and followed the skeleton lord .

“Stop!”

Kang-jun’s sword struck the head of a skeleton lord .

Kwajijijik!

The skull of the skeleton lord caved in . His body shook and he fell down .

Pasususu .

That was the end . His body turned into black smoke and scattered .

[Your level has risen . ]

[Your level has risen . ]

[10,102 nodes have been gained . ]

[157 small moonstones have been acquired . ]

[60 large moonstones have been acquired . ]

[You have earned 600 red moon achievement points . ]

[42 Essence of Darkness have been acquired . ]

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

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

[Mission 16 has been accomplished . ]

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

[17,000 nodes have been given as compensation . ]

[120 large moonstones have been given as compensation . ]

The messages popped up continuously .

Of course, the most pleasant thing was the level up .

Including the mission reward, he gained three levels and reached Lv . 50 .

Now, a lord level monster only increased his level by two . It was because more experience was required every time Kang-jun’s level increased .

Fortunately, his level could rise further through missions .

That wasn’t all . He also earned 600 red moon achievement points, so he would be rewarded with one more level later .

This was the charm of the Bloody Battlefield .

It was at that moment . . .

Kang-jun suddenly felt strange . A strong aura exploded inside his body .

‘What is this great energy?’

To his surprise, the energy fell silent after a moment .

At the same time, a message popped up .

[Your war ability has increased to advanced level . ]

[Reaching advanced warfare has increased charisma by one . ]

[Reaching advanced warfare has increased good luck by one . ]

After reaching Lv50, his war ability advanced from intermediate to advanced .

Lv . 50 (Exp 00 . 00%)

[War] Advanced

Health: 6170/6170 .

Black Magic Energy: 5830/5830

Strength: 54 (+5)

Agility: 55 (+5)

Intelligence: 51

Good Luck: 10

Charisma: 18 (+4)

Thanks to that, his charisma and good luck stats both rose by one .

However, that wasn’t the end .

[The efficiency of black magic energy has risen . ]

[The amount of black magic energy consumed by Heavenly Cut has decreased by 20 points . ]

[The amount of black magic energy consumed by Heavenly Unyielding Slash has decreased by 40 points . ]

[The efficiency of chaos power has risen . ]

[The chaos power consumed when reviving a clone is reduced to 800 points . ]

[The chaos power consumed by Will to Fight is reduced to 800 points . ]

Consumption of black magic energy had decreased .

That alone was encouraging but chaos power consumption also reduced .

‘Amazing!’

Kang-jun was especially welcome to the reduction in consumption of chaos power .

Even so, he still needed 800 chaos power if he wanted to use Will to Fight .

It was burdensome to use it and should only be a last resort .

However, the huge jackpot wasn’t over .

As his level rose, Heaven’s Blood Sword Style did as well!

This caused him to learn a new skill .

[The energy of the heavens is nestled in the flow of the sword, so there is no need to fear the flow . . . ]

[The skill Heavenly Flow has been learnt . ]

[Heavenly Flow]

-A strong sword will scatter the magic attack .

-The higher our intelligence, the greater the power .

-Can be used with a sword .

-Consumes 40 black magic energy .

-Restrictions: Intelligence: 51

It was a magic defense skill .

It was better to avoid magic attacks but sometimes that wasn’t possible .

In the meantime, he had endured using the magic defense of the Ghoul Lord’s Heavy Armour but he didn’t need to do that anymore .

It was possible to scatter magic using Heavenly Flow .

'The first skill that relies on intelligence . ’

If he had high intelligence, not strength and agility, then he could block more magic attacks .

He currently had 51 intelligence points .

It was fortunate that he could reach the lowest level of Heavenly Flow .

‘The skill is the greatest jackpot today . It is better than seeing my level rise . ’

He always thought that magic attacks were tough .

In the future, there was no need to be afraid of magic attacks anymore .

'Then shall I open the boxes?’

The skeleton lord had dropped two boxes .

One silver and one gold box .

The happiest moment since destroying the monster had come .

It was at that moment . . .

[As your war ability reaches advanced level, you are qualified to build a base on the Bloody Battlefield . ]

[20 charisma]

[Stage 4 wings]

[Advanced war capabilities]

[Only sovereigns who meet all of the requirements above can build a base on the battlefield . ]

What was this?

‘Build a base?’

When he read the explanation, Kang-jun barely met the requirements .

[This is a suitable place to build a base . ]

[If you build a base that can be used as a strategic base for the Defense Army, your achievements will greatly increase .

[Would you like to build a base? Yes/No]

[One Dimensional Piece will be consumed . ]

Fortunately, he had one Dimensional Piece .

It was what the demon Sud found in the Aok .

‘Yes!’

Although a Dimensional Piece was rare, he shouldn’t hesitate when building a base would greatly increase his achievements .

Moreover, allies could use it as a strategic base, so it would be a great help against the Second Demon King .

[Sovereign Lucan is constructing a base . 1%]

[One Dimensional Piece has been consumed . ]

The place where Kang-jun was standing shone with a red light .

What would appear?

A gem spread red light in every direction like a wave .

Chu chu chu chu .

A huge magic circle started to form around him .

The radius of the magic circle was 50 metres .

It was similar to the Defense Army’s magic circle but smaller .

[Lucan's base has been completed . ]

'Is it done?’

The inside of the magic circle was empty except for the portal near the gem .

[You have built an outpost on the Bloody Battlefield that will become a strategic base for Earth Hwanmong’s Defense Army . ]

[3,000 red moon achievement points have been gained . ]

A message immediately appeared .

He appreciated that he received 3,000 achievement points, but was creating a magic circle that great?

At the same time, a group of people poured out of the portal in the magic circle .

The 1st commander, Binhaim, and the 2nd commander, Madun .

After that, troops of the Earth Hwanmong Defense Arm poured out .

“Oh! Unbelievable!”

Binhaim’s expression was tinged with amazement . He watched Lucan with amazement .

"Commander Lucan! Did you build this base?”

"That’s right . ”

Kang-jun nodded and Binhaim said with a tumultuous expression .

“It is true that a sovereign can build a base on the Bloody Battlefield if their power rises . A special ability given only to sovereigns! It is surprising that you have already reached that level . ”

"Is building a base here that great?”

Binhaim smiled .

“Of course, it is great . Spatial movement isn’t possible in the Bloody Battlefield but it is possible to move to the base here . That alone is enough to make it a strategic hub . ”

Kang-jun’s base was the only place on the Bloody Battlefield that they could move spatially to .

“As time passes, an environment favourable to our allies will be established around the base . The enemy’s combat power will decrease while our allies’ will increase . Therefore, the enemy can’t approach . ”

“I see . ”

Kang-jun had a rough understanding of Binhaim’s reaction .

It wasn’t simply a protective circle . It was an outpost that the Earth Hwanmong Defense Army would be centred around .

Binhaim looked around and said,

"Therefore, it is clear that the Second Demon King will try and destroy this base . A massive engagement is coming . ”

"Then I will add some strength . ”

"Lucan! I will be looking forward to your performance . Hrmm! I see that the enemy is already coming . ”

It was like he said .

A massive number of creatures were flocking towards the base .

Furthermore, there were two demon shaped beings with huge horns in the sky .

'They are?’

Kang-jun’s heart sank at the sight of them . It wasn’t as strong as the Second Demon King Colladikus, but they gave off a scary atmosphere .

'Are they the supreme commanders under the Second Demon King?’

Kang-jun heard that there were four top commanders under the Second Demon King . One of them died and there were only three demons left . Of those three, two of them had appeared here .

However, there were already such beings at the base .

The 3rd Commander Ligas .

He gave off a bloody atmosphere after the demons appeared . The mysterious 3rd commander appeared through the portal and stared at the demons with a bitter expression .

He didn’t forget to turn his head and say some words toward Kang-jun .

"Lucan, you did a great job . If we defend here today, the powers of the Second Demon King will shrink . ”

At that time, a person that looked to be in his 40s appeared .

The other commanders, including Binhaim, bowed at his appearance .

He was the 12th commander, Rainkar .

Kang-jun felt relieved after seeing him .

Rainkar was the strongest person on Earth Hwanmong . Therefore, they could protect the base even if the Second Demon King appeared .

Rainkar shouted as he looked over them .

"Due to the great thing that happened today, the balance that had been tightly maintained with the Second Demon King has started to change . Of course, it is extremely beneficial to our side . Therefore, today we have to protect Lucan’s base no matter what . "

“Yes . ”

All individual missions on the Bloody Battlefield were stopped and there was an order to protect Lucan’s base .

Agnus and the other sovereigns appeared at the portal and looked around .

At that moment, Rainkar walked toward Kang-jun .
