Chapter 130

Chapter 130 – Ring of a Dimensional Sovereign (1)

Just then, the anomalous phoenix flapped its wings and cried out,

“Kaaaaack-!”

Then it returned to the world it came out from .

Did it like none of them?

However, Kang-jun felt like the anomalous phoenix was telling them to enter its world .

The gazes of the man and woman moved toward Kang-jun .

They both seemed uncomfortable as they frowned . The young man said,

“I don’t know how long I have been waiting for the anomalous phoenix to wake up . I’ve waited so long for this moment, yet another competitor has showed up . ”

This time the woman was the one who spoke .

"Normally, it is said that the anomalous phoenix will call to those who have an Anomaloria Golden Scale Insect . Maybe that is why I came . ”

Kang-jun was surprised by her words .

If that was true, then it wasn’t a coincidence that Kang-jun came to this place today .

It could be said that the Anomaloria Golden Scale Insect lead Kang-jun here to where the anomalous phoenix had emerged .

Was it due to this that the dimensional creatures appeared?

It seemed unbelievable to Kang-jun but the man nodded like it was true .

“It seems so . Once we enter, the anomalous phoenix will choose one of us . ”

The woman also nodded and turned to stare coldly at Kang-jun .

"Nobody knows who the anomalous phoenix will choose . However, please don’t have any hope . ”

Kang-jun felt that the two people weren’t very favourable towards him . So, he asked coldly,

"I don't know who are you but why shouldn’t the anomalous phoenix choose my golden insect?”

The woman laughed with ridicule .

“Think closely . Tell me what you would feel if you have been waiting for a treasure for many years only to have an unexpected presence show up at the decisive moment . ”

Of course, he would feel very dirty .

Kang-jun had a rough understanding of their feelings .

However, just because he understood didn’t mean that he would give up .

"Anyway, isn’t the choice up to the anomalous phoenix?”

“That’s right . The anomalous phoenix called all three of us, so we will know the results once we enter . ”

The young man and woman gazed at Kang-jun’s Anomaloria Golden Scale Insect before sending him a glare .

Then the young man said with a strange smile,

"You have been invited by the anomalous phoenix, but I don’t know if you have the ability to go inside . ”

The woman also gave him a smile of ridicule .

"Indeed . That golden insect is useless if you can’t enter . ”

After seeing that, the man and woman entered the small world after the anomalous phoenix .

‘Is there something that will prevent me from entering?’

Kang-jun placed the golden insect into his inventory and entered the small world of the anomalous phoenix .

“······!?”

Kang-jun opened his eyes and saw the ceiling of a cramped room .

There was a single bed with a bag of sweets and a half-read fantasy novel .

‘W-where is this place?’

Kang-jun stared with bemusement before realizing that this was Room 406 of the Dafeng goshiwon .

He was working at a convenience story and today was Saturday, his day off .

He had been reading a fantasy book he borrowed and eating snacks when he fell asleep .

It was a fantasy novel about dimensional sovereigns .

The main character of the novel was a young man who lived in a goshiwon, like Kang-jun, and he gained the power of Hwanmong . Not only was he incredibly powerful but he was also rich in reality .

He was completely envious of that wealth .

He had fallen asleep wishing he could be that main character .

'What? The whole thing was a dream?’

Kang-jun tried to use his dimensional power .

However, there was no reaction .

The status window?

Naturally, he should be Lv135 .

However, nothing popped up no matter how many times he tried .

That wasn’t all .

He tried to stand up and look in the mirror, but there wasn’t any strength in his right leg .

Lame .

Only one leg was working properly . He looked in the mirror and saw a head with severe hair loss .

"T-this! This is nonsense!”

Kang-jun couldn’t accept the situation .

He absolutely couldn’t accept it .

He was Sovereign Lucan, the strongest person on Earth Hwanmong who had strengthened the Wings of Chaos to Stage 9 . He was now trying to tame an anomalous phoenix .

It was a right that had been given to Kang-jun .

He had continuously become stronger and was looking at the realm of transcendence .

Everything couldn’t be because he had fallen asleep while eating snacks .

“No . It can’t be . ”

Kang-jun was convinced that he was Sovereign Lucan .

Perhaps someone had used a confusion magic?

He didn’t know what the two unidentified people could have done .

The Wyvern Ring protected him against confusion but it might not have an effect in front of such absolute beings .

Even Kang-jun had the ability to neutralize it to some degree .

However, now he was just being delusional .

Whether it be the sovereign token or transcendent state, everything was just a dream .

Kang-jun had nothing to prove that he was Sovereign Lucan .

His body didn’t contain dimensional power or black magic energy .

Nothing happened when he tried to spread open his wings .

Flop .

Kang-jun sat down on the bed with a frown .

Was Sovereign Lucan really just a dream?

Everything in reality proved that Kang-jun was just an ordinary Korean youth .

Lee Kang-jun who worked at the convenience store and lived in a 250,000 goshiwon .

Was there anything else?

The memories of the dream were already beginning to fade .

He couldn’t recall the face of his beautiful household member Hayun or his competent military adviser Keirun .

He remembered his dream after waking up . However, it was common for the memories to disappear after a few minutes .

So, Kang-jun only remembered that he was a sovereign with great ability in his dream, but the details gradually faded from his memory .

‘Damn! It was just a dream . Wake up, Lee Kang-jun . ’

He had to acknowledge the reality .

He didn’t know what happened in the ridiculous dream but this was reality .

However, no matter how he thought about it, something was strange .

Was this really reality?

Was this the real him?

Who was he?

Kang-jun’s expression suddenly changed .

And he closed his eyes .

Just like in his dream, he started meditating .

The fact that he was just Sovereign Lucan in his dream wasn’t intentionally injected by someone, but an idea he already had unknowingly .

He feared that everything that happened was just a dream and that he would return to his original self when it broke .

It was so deep in his heart that he wasn’t aware of it .

In the end, this was a situation that he created .

He willingly sealed his own abilities .

This was also done through the Will of the Dimension .

‘This is an illusion, but not an illusion . If I don’t wake up here, this really will become my reality . Once I reach the end of my life here, I truly will die . ’

It was through his own will, not anyone else’s .

It was a type of suicide .

He could die even if he reached the transcendent stage .

Kang-jun’s most terrifying enemy was himself .

Strictly speaking, it was his own fear .

He just couldn’t understand why he had suddenly confined himself in this illusion .

He had just entered the small world of the anomalous phoenix .

At that moment, he had fallen into the illusion .

‘A test from the anomalous phoenix? Or maybe that man and woman?’

If he went there, he would know .

Kang-jun opened his eyes and there was a flash of light in his eyes .

Hwakak!

The small room started to distort .

The single bed, the bag of sweets and the fantasy novel he was reading were just illusions .

The illusions disappeared and a dark space was left .

It was a mysterious place where it was dark but he could see clearly .

It was familiar .

This was the battle field .

Why did he come here when he didn’t open the battle field?

However, Kang-jun’s expression was calm .

It was because he confirmed that all his powers had returned .

The Wings of Chaos were Stage 9 and he had all the abilities of the Lv135 Sovereign Lucan .

He also had the ability to use dimensional power, the most fundamental and powerful force in the dimensional system .

Thus, the shadows flowing towards him were trivial .

Susususu .

There are numerous unexplained shadows .

Kang-jun had seen them once before .

They were the ones who showed up with Sovereign Herod, Jung Kwang-hyeon, who had been defeated by Kang-jun .

The shadows appeared endlessly .

The space of the battle field kept expanding and the number of shadows increased .

Then the shadows started to take on clear shapes .

Surprising, they were his household members, including Keirun, Hayun, Germuz, Heksia and the others .

They also included all his troops, including the ratian warriors .

However, they revealed their hostility toward Kang-jun by attacking .

What was even more surprising was that their skills were incredibly strong .

All of them had a similar level to Kang-jun .

'Is this another trick?’

Kang-jun knew that this was also an illusion .

However, this time, it was an illusion created by someone else .

In other words, the Keirun and Hayun over there weren’t real .

However, this was the battle field, so he had to get rid of all of them .

He had to fight a number of beings with abilities similar to himself .

Even if Kang-jun did win, it would take a long time .

Kang-jun sneered and his eyes shone coldly .

"I don't know who you are but you can keep on testing me . ”

Kang-jun moved forward and wielded his sword .

Flash!

Heavenly Cut emerged from his sword .

It didn’t separate the enemies in front but the space in front of him .

The battle field was split apart .

Susususu .

The shapes of those surrounding Kang-jun blurred and they faded away .

Then an empty space with nothing in it appeared .

At that time, dozens of shadows gathered before Kang-jun .

‘More shadows?’

Was the test still unfinished?

“It is useless . ”

Kang-jun was about to move his sword again when a shadow suddenly cried out,

“Wait a minute . ”
