Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Will of Strengthening (1)

Cheongdam-dong was a place with high-end department stores as well as buildings with the names of prominent Korean designers and foreign brands lined up .

In the old days, he had only passed by on a bus and looked at it vaguely .

Of course, today he took the Sentus, a foreign car instead of the bus .

And just like a scene from a drama or movie, Hayun tried out various clothes and showed them to Kang-jun .

"What about this checkered black?”

"Let's see? It isn’t much . ”

Kang-jun shook his head and she came out wearing a pink dress .

"Is this a bit too much?”

His heart thumped wildly . Kang-jun shook his head and said .

"No . It is just right . Let’s end it here . ”

Hayun’s eyes narrowed .

“It is really okay?”

“Really . You look like a completely different person . ”

His words weren't wrong . It had a simple but sophisticated style .

A rare item that could only be fully shown with a very small number of bodies, including Hayun’s . She smiled inwardly and said .

“Then I will go with this . ”

“Okay . Let’s go to another one . ”

“Yes . ”

Kang-jun directly bought Hayun the clothes without worrying about the price . Kang-jun also bought some clothes on the spot .

Kang-jun was a famous exorcist so his face was well-known . However, there wouldn’t be any problems if he wore sunglasses and a hat .

However, Hayun’s beauty attracted attention from everywhere .

After parking at the theatre, they went into the building arm in arm .

The latest fantasy movie that was released .

While watching the movie, Hayun lay her head on Kang-jun’s shoulder with an expectant expression .

Kang-jun shyly avoided Hayun’s gaze .

Once he looked back, he was reminded of something .

It was nice to pretend . Kang-jun was well aware of what Hayun wanted .

He also felt a similar urge .

It was natural for there to be romance in reality .

But was it okay if the person was Hayun?

Hayun was his household member and an existence that depended on him .

But it felt natural because she was a friend before Kang-jun became her lord .

Was this what it felt like to have a girlfriend?

He never expressed it before, but perhaps their feelings for each other were more than simple goodwill .

Now it would be awkward if they didn’t progress any further .

Although she wasn’t a person, Kang-jun was able to share love with her .

But what if Hayun knew that the water spirit queen had become his lover?

He couldn’t hide his relationship with Aquana from her . It was a dream but it was also a reality to Kang-jun .

Kang-jun kept thinking about this and the movie finished without him watching any of it at all .

He immediately grabbed Hayun’s hand . Then they exited .

In the meantime, it was getting darker as night approached .

They entered a bar located at the corner that had a luxurious atmosphere .

After having a couple of cocktails, Kang-jun opened his mouth only to have Hayun stop him with a finger to his mouth .

“Don’t say anything . Now it is my turn to talk . ”

Hayun smiled .

I don’t care who you meet in your dreams . But in reality, only think about me . Can you do that?”

“Yes . ”

She had already guessed . He wondered how she had such a strange intuition but decided not to ask .

After a while, Kang-jun exited the bar and hugged Hayun and flew off .

He didn’t use the skill Dark Transparency, but a magic called Group Transparency .

Hayun also turned into a transparent state .

Thanks to Scolaris’ skill books, he could do a type of prank like this .

It was even possible to lie down on clouds like they were in beds .

Kang-jun and Hayun who climbed up to the clouds in the blink of an eye, only came down again when it was dawn .

There were joyful smiles on Kang-jun and Hayun’s faces .

The next day, Kang-jun went to a PC room with Hayun and played games . He played a game called Expensive Watch and tried an old MMORPG that he used to play before .

The next day, he read manhwa and watched cartoons . In the middle, he got the idea to eat jajangmyun .

He wasn’t really alone and even an ordinary game seemed interesting if he played it with Hayun .

Yet even in such situations, Kang-jun never stopped meditating on transcendence .

It felt like his body and head were separate existences as the body continued to live in reality while the head was filled with thoughts .

In other words, Kang-jun discovered a method of meditating even when doing something else .

The state of transcendence!

It seemed like he would reach it if he solved this problem .

However, he couldn’t completely grasp it .

He was able to concentrate when doing covert things with Hayun . However, if he played games or read manhwa then his eyes and hands moved mechanically while his thoughts were immersed in meditation .

If he was far from the state of transcendence then he might have been less obsessed with it .

But he couldn’t help feeling impatient since recently he felt it getting closer and closer .

Kang-jun knew that this state might lead him beyond the confines of the heart .

He could fall to hell in an instant .

It was fortunate that he had Hayun at this time .

From then on, he spent some unbelievable secret time with Hayun .

It made him feel much better .

He was full of vitality and his mind calmed .

[The door to Hwanmong is open . ]

Meanwhile, it was time to come back to Hwanmong .

Kang-jun appeared in the lobby of Shakan’s 39th Base on the Drobi Continent .

Last time, Commander Radius said there would be a welcoming banquet for him .

He was looking forward to the banquet from the elves when he saw an elf commander approaching him with a desperate expression .

"Lucan, right now, mysterious creatures are heading towards Drobi Continent . ”

What did that mean?

"It isn’t Top Demon King Kaljark’s army but unidentified creatures?”

"There are unknown organisms living in the dimensional system . They are randomly generated and sent to attack so we don’t know their identities . ”

"So that is why I didn’t see anyone at the base . ”

“Yes . Now everyone has to fight against them . I would like to ask for Lucan’s cooperation . ”

"I joined Shakan’s camp so of course, I should help . ”

Kang-jun easily nodded .

Kang-jun flew up through the sea of clouds and landed on the deck of the Rotas Battleship where the demon kings were waiting for Kang-jun .

“Lord! It is better to avoid this . Dimensional creatures are big and strange . ”

"The Demon kings are thinking of fleeing?”

Kang-jun said with a disgruntled expression and Cerato scratched his head .

“Dimensional merchants and travelers are more afraid of these creatures than they are of piratas . Even if they are killed, hardly anything can be gained from them . Rarely, Dimensional Pieces will appear . ”

“Dimensional Pieces?”

“Yes . But your luck has to be really good . It is better not to expect too much . "

“Hrmm . ”

If there were chances of getting Dimensional Pieces by defeating the dimensional creatures then it was worth fighting .

Demon kings also feared them so that provoked curiosity and determination in Kang-jun .

It was because he needed strong opponents .

He meditated but couldn’t reach it .

He couldn’t meditate in Hwanmong so he had to find opponents .

The enemies that appeared at Shakan’s base caused even the demon kings to feel fear so Kang-jun had to welcome them .

"Head towards the dimensional creatures . Move to the forefront . Get ready for battle . ”

“Yes, Lord!”

The demon kings immediately followed Kang-jun’s commands .

They were reluctant because there wasn’t much to be gained from defeating these tough enemies . It was also troublesome .

However, Kang-jun had commanded them so the demon kings instantly disappeared .

They could fully exert their evil nature in a battle .

“Kuhuhu! Get ready to fight . ”

"Kukuku, wipe them all away . ”

Their eyes flashed and they prepared their own households for battle .

Meanwhile, Rotas rushed rapidly through the dimensional waters and quickly escaped the area of the Drobi Continent .

Once in the sea of clouds, a fierce battle was occurring between the defenders of Shakan’s base and the dimensional creatures .

They were hideous monsters that looked like giant caterpillars .

There were insect-like objects, but he felt the dimensional power from them, not magic . It meant these unusual creatures were created by dimensional power .

Thus, Kang-jun just decided to call them dimensional objects .

There were over a thousand insects on the caterpillar-shaped objects, and there were hundreds of caterpillars .

Chuaaah!

Kwaaaah!

The caterpillar-shaped object opened its mouth and shot out a circular mass!

It was similar to the breath of an ice dragon .

The ships of the defenders struck by the lump were frozen and shattered .

The even more spectacular thing was that the chunks flying from the caterpillars had an infinite range .

But as soon as it reached the dimensional cloud, it didn’t inflict damage to the sub-dimensional world below it .

It was fortunate .

However, Kang-jun was only watching for a short while and already five ships belonging to Shakan’s base had been broken .

There were still hundreds of ships but he wondered how long they could hold on .

‘The key to this is killing the caterpillars as quickly as possible . ’

The problem was the insect shaped monsters on top of the caterpillars .

There were scorpions, spiders, mantis, etc .

The elves who climbed on the caterpillars were literally melted away .

Radius, who was riding around the battlefield on an anomaloria, was the only one capable of defeating the caterpillar shaped objects .

Radius was using an elven bow .

Every time there was a burst of blue like from the diamond on the bow, a storm of energy was emitted and the huge body of the caterpillars fell out of the sky .

That occurred a few times before the body of the caterpillar cracked and exploded . The insects on top of it also exploded .

However, dozens of caterpillars starting aiming for Radius .

Chwaaaaak!

Kuaaah!

Dozens of chunks of dimensional power flew at a tremendous speed . If it was a ship then it would already be broken .

Fortunately, Radius was riding an anomaloria . The anomaloria used instantaneous movements and avoided the endlessly flying masses of dimensional power .
