Chapter 109: Break Through the Limit (2)

Flash!

It was the flash of light from Heavenly Cut .

Yet it wasn’t the same as any Heavenly Cut that he had seen before .

He had broken through and reached a new level of Heavenly Cut, but that was nothing in comparison to what he saw now .

Supak!

It was an unknown light;

A mysterious light!

It was a light that couldn’t be avoided no matter where Kang-jun ran .

‘What on earth is that?’

In front of that attack, Kang-jun’s attack power, defense and evasion were useless . . .

And that was the end .

Kang-jun’s body literally melted and turned into smoke, then he reappeared outside the Guardian Hall .

The training was over .

He was in the best physical condition .

The equipment in his inventory had all been repaired and were like new .

However, Kang-jun was still staring blankly as he thought of the attack .

'What was that light?’

It was so powerful that everything he did was futile .

In fact, Kang-jun’s combat power had become dozens of times stronger since entering the Guardian Hall .

His wings had strengthened, his attack power had increased greatly and he gained an enormous amount of health and black magic energy .

However, it was nothing compared to the limits he had pushed past for Heaven’s Blood Sword Style .

As a result, it was able to exert a power beyond his level and stats .

However, it was still nothing before that light .

It was like the moon, that dominated the world at night, losing its light in front of the sun .

Kang-jun was helpless before that mysterious light .

‘That was transcendence . ’

It was the state that Rainkar desired .

Kang-jun now understood what Rainkar was talking about .

The difference between being transcendent and the state before that was like the difference between heaven and earth .

Now, Kang-jun knew his words were right . He didn’t know everything but what he knew acknowledged the strength of a transcendent being .

'Anyway, I will reach that level someday . ’

Kang-jun had become determined as he walked toward the magic circle .

‘How much time has passed?’

It seemed like decades had passed in the Guardian Hall, so he had no sense of the flow of time .

Chuuuot!

After returning to the base, he could see that it hadn’t been one night yet .

“Oh! Lord! You've arrived?"

In the meantime, the strong defense wards around the Yugang building had been released .

Keirun was startled to see Kang-jun . It was because the atmosphere coming from Kang-jun was incomparable to before .

"It seems like Lord has made a huge amount of progress today . ”

Kang-jun smiled .

"It was a lot more than I thought . By the way, what is all this?”

The base had golden treasure boxes and silver boxes as well as all types of weapons, armour and potions piled up .

Keirun grinned .

"I haven’t put it in the warehouse because I wanted to show Lord . ”

“Something must have happened today . ”

"Yes, I didn’t contact Lord because I knew you entered the Guardian Hall and I didn’t want to interfere . ”

Keirun gave a short summary of what happened today .

Kang-jun nodded with a bitter expression after hearing that Hardis and Zenith had joined the Second Demon King and died .

"They had stupid thoughts . ”

Honestly, Kang-jun had no intention of hurting them .

Recently, he had even extended his hand to them .

He had said that he wouldn’t become hostile toward any sovereign that made a deal with him over moonstones .

It was because, just like Rainkar had said, it was meaningless to kill sovereigns to increase his power . . .

Especially now .

He was looking at the realm of transcendence, so he didn’t have to be afraid of any of the sovereigns on Earth Hwanmong .

No one had forced them to make such a choice . They had fallen to the temptation of the Second Demon King due to their own greed .

"Ah, Lord! I obtained these items . ”

Driana handed a necklace and earrings to Kang-jun . They were sovereign tokens .

[Earrings of Valor]

-Rating: Only one

-A sign that you are a sovereign in Hwanmong .

-Strength +5 when worn .

-Sovereign Title: Zenith

[Necklace of Wisdom]

-Rating: Only one

-A sign that you are a sovereign in Hwanmong .

-Intelligence +5 when worn .

-Sovereign Title: Hardis

In accordance to Hwanmong’s rules, the tokens of the losers . Zenith and Hardis . were given to Kang-jun .

Truth be told, the increase in stats at this level weren’t enough to affect his attack power . Still, it was better not to neglect the small stats .

Kang-jun put them on immediately .

Demonic Dragon’s Ring – Charisma +3

Wyvern Ring – Strength +5

Cloak of the Wind – Agility +5

Excluding what he had gotten today, these were the ones he was already wearing .

As a result, Kang-jun owned five sovereign tokens .

“Thank you for the trouble, Driana . Today, you have distinguished yourself . "

Driana smiled after hearing Kang-jun’s praise .

He continued by encouraging Keirun and the other members of his household . In particular, he didn’t forget to stroke Melinad’s head and praise Heksia who had taken care of the dark mages and advanced lords .

The rewards for the achievements he had gained diligently in the Bloody Battlefield were certainly worth it .

Thanks to that, Kang-jun’s household members had become stronger .

Furthermore, the loot was substantial .

There were two golden treasure boxes which had been dropped by the advanced lords and two silver boxes from the dark mages .

Additionally, there was a lot of japtem and a large number of nodes .

In the meantime, it was time for Hwanmong to close .

‘I will open the boxes next time . '

[The door to Hwanmong is closed . ]

Once he returned to reality, he received a call from Han Yeon-soo early in the morning .

"Hello . "

-Yes, this is Han Yeon-soo . I am calling about the matter of transferring the property of the sovereigns, Hardis and Zenith .

It was as fast as expected . Kang-jun nodded .

"I thought you would contact me . Please handle it well . ”

-Yes . Currently, Hardis, Yoo Seung-hwan, has about 142 . 8 billion won, including buildings, securities and cash . Zenith, Kim Kun-woo, has approximately 121 . 3 billion won, including buildings, securities and cash . Would you like to take over the buildings, sell the securities and deposit the cash into your account?

"Please do so . ”

Securities referred to stocks or bonds .

The value of investments often fluctuated, so it was better to have cash .

At present, he also needed cash in order to buy the Delta building .

However, there was no need to dispose of the buildings .

This was because he would continue to purchase more buildings after acquiring the Delta building .

It was inefficient to sell buildings only to have to buy them later .

On the afternoon of the next day, Han Yeon-soo came to his house .

"Welcome . Is it over now?”

"Yes, I spent all day yesterday taking care of it . It is done . Things like cars and yachts have been put in the Skia space instead of being disposed of, so please take a look . If you want to sell them, I will take care of it . ”

She sat down on the couch and gave Kang-jun a list of the properties .

Hardis had seven buildings, three apartments and spacious land surrounded by mountains in other areas .

Excluding the bank loans, the value of his real estate was worth approximately 50 billion won and the rest was in cash .

Kim Kun-woo had five buildings in Korea, two luxury apartments, a luxury yacht and one mansion in the United States .

There was also a car called Century, worth 400 million, and the yacht, they were sent to his Skia space .

Hardis had a luxury SUV that was also in the Skia space .

A Venta S Class, Century, SUV, yacht and the magic bike . . .

Kang-jun now had five methods of transportation in the Skia space .

‘More cars . Well, I don’t have to sell anything . ’

He didn’t need vehicles because he had the wings, but it felt good seeing the various types of luxury vehicles in his space .

Additionally, there were the two vans gifted by Jang Seo-yeon, but they were used by his secretary and security guards for business purposes . Hayun also used the van when she went out .

Han Yeon-soo sighed and got up from the couch .

“Then I will be going now . ”

“You aren’t even staying for a meal . Are you busy?”

"I am a bit busy these days . Many sovereigns are waging war thanks to the Second Demon King . This area is quiet thanks to you, but there is a rampage elsewhere . ”

Hardis and Zenith weren’t the only sovereigns who had fallen to the Second Demon King .

Kang-jun suddenly asked,

"Does it matter if they broke the rules of the red moon?”

"It does matter . Originally, they were going to be judged by the leaders of Hwanmong . However, they don’t have the capacity to do so now that there is the war with the Second Demon King . The Second Demon King is hoping that many sovereigns die in the meantime . ”

“I see . ”

Kang-jun called Jang Seo-yeon to find out the situation of his allied sovereigns .

Fortunately, they were all safe and sound .

After that, Kang-jun studied until it was time to enter Hwanmong .

He wasn’t reading books .

He was meditating and remembering the last attack that the black-haired man used at the Guardian Hall .

It was an absolute attack that could only be stopped once he reached the level of transcendence!

Honestly, right now, he wasn’t interested in anything other than that .

[The door to Hwanmong is open . ]

He went back to Hwanmong .

A messenger from 1st Commander Binhaim appeared as soon as he arrived at the base .

Kang-jun delegated his new territories to Keirun and headed straight for the battlefield .

After a while, at Lucan's base . . .

The tired looking Binhaim welcomed Kang-jun as soon as he appeared .

“Oh! Welcome, 7th Commander . ”

Then Binhaim’s eyes widened as he saw Kang-jun . He also noticed that Kang-jun’s atmosphere has changed .

“Amazing . Did you receive really good luck in the Guardian Hall?”

"It seems so . ”

Kang-jun smiled . There was no need to tell him the details of the process .

“Anyway, it is good . Now that the Second Demon King, his top three commanders and superior officers have come out, we are being pushed a little bit . ”

"Didn’t we originally have the advantage?”

"We did but the Second Demon King has released a lot of prisoners that he had kept in the Aok . He said he will forgive their sins if they participate in this war . ”

The number of army officers at the lord level had increased .

There were quite a few advanced lords .

"So, I want you to take care of some of them . If our troops are exhausted, we might be pushed back to the base . Please get rid of the dark mermen in the air above the forest . ”

“I understand . ”

Mermen with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish .

All their fins and scales were black, so they were called dark mermen .

The dark mermen were estimated to be lord grade and there was an average of 1,000 dark mermen in the air .

They flew like birds in the sky and fired arrows and magic, causing damage to the allies fighting near Lucan’s base .

‘I’ll have to get rid of the lord there . ’

Kang-jun equipped the Ghoul Lord’s Heavy Armour and the Vampire Lord’s sword, then flew over Lucan’s base .

At that moment, he received Mission 18 .

[Mission 18] Destroy the dark merman lord .

[Compensation] Experience, 25,000 nodes, 180 large moonstones

It was a mission to destroy the dark merman lord .

The missions always got more and more difficult . Therefore, the dark merman lord must be stronger than the dark mage, Driana, who had been the target of Mission 17 .

Of course, it was just compensation for Kang-jun .

‘Thanks for giving me this mission . ’

He immediately headed to where the dark merman lord was .

Swiiik!

It was more accurate to call it space movement, not flying .

His sword flashed and the dark merman lord was cut in half .
