Chapter 138: Encouraging the Household Members (1)

Keirun already knew that Kang-jun had become a transcendent sovereign .

This was because one of the shadows that enforced the rules of Hwanmong was at the base of the Delta building .

Of course, it was possible for him to feel it with the intuition of an advanced military adviser even without the shadow .

His lord had become a transcendent .

"It is amazing that Lord has become a dimensional sovereign . It is my best luck that I managed to join Lord’s household . ”

Keirun said to Kang-jun with an excited expression .

Kang-jun smiled gently .

"Keirin, it was possible due to your help . I could become stronger without worrying about my bases . ”

"It was just something I was supposed to do . ”

“I am telling the truth . ”

Kang-jun then looked at Keirun with a strange expression .

"I remembered something you once asked me . If you want, I will grant that request now . ”

"What request?”

Keirun was confused . Then Kang-jun said,

"You said you wanted to become a sovereign as well . If you want, I will release you from my household and also give you a sovereign token . ”

“ . . . . . . !”

At that point, a tumultuous expression formed on his face .

He remembered his words when he first joined Kang-jun .

However, he shook his head .

"No thanks, Lord . I don’t want to become a sovereign . ”

“Why?”

Keirun laughed bitterly .

"In fact, my desire to become a sovereign has long disappeared after becoming Lord’s military adviser . ”

“Why?”

"From the very beginning, I didn’t fit as a sovereign . Rather, as Lord’s military adviser, I am more joyful and energetic than all my previous lives . So, please forget about my previous request . ”

"I will do so . ”

In fact, Kang-jun had wanted to hold onto Keirun .

It was because Keirun was necessary as his military adviser .

Kang-jun wanted to travel .

Travelling as a dimensional sovereign . . .

If he found a new world without a master, he planned to establish a base there .

All the worlds would be linked to Earth Hwanmong and the headquarters at the Delta building .

If Keirun was at headquarters, he would be able to take care of everything .

However, there had been the promise from when he first met Keirun . Thus, Kang-jun decided to give Keirun a chance to leave if he wanted .

He wouldn’t forcibly hold onto Keirun .

However, Keirun voluntarily told him to take back the old favor, so that was welcome news to Kang-jun .

“Instead, I want to ask you for something else . ”

"Tell me what you want . If it is something I can do, then I will listen . ”

He said it sincerely . Keirun hesitated for a moment before saying,

"I didn’t know if I could ask Lord for this favour . Can you get a sovereign out from hell for me?”

“Hell?”

"That's correct . Lord is a transcendent and can make deals with those who rule over Hwanmong . If they listen, you can get anyone out of hell . ”

Well, a shadow was here, so Kang-jun was planning to meet it anyway . It was because he wondered what type of deals were available .

However, one of those deals involved removing a sovereign from hell .

“Who is it?”

“Sovereign Aniel . She was one of my allies and my lover during my last life as a sovereign . Unlike me, who escaped from hell as quickly as possible, she is still suffering in there . ”

Kang-jun smiled at the end of the words .

“If that is the case, I will naturally help you . Call the shadow right now . ”

After a moment, a shadow appeared .

Unlike the other shadows, this one was hidden so deeply by black hooded clothes that no one would be able to tell it was a shadow .

"I greet Dimensional Sovereign Lucan . ”

In the meantime, Kang-jun sat on a throne in his headquarters and the shadow bowed with a very polite attitude .

Kang-jun nodded and said,

"I was told that I could make deals . ”

"Of course . Anything that belongs to this Hwanmong can be done according to your will . Just grant us one small request . ”

“Okay . I want to free a sovereign from hell . Is that possible?”

The shadow respectfully bowed and replied,

"It is possible if they are a sovereign in hell, but we have a condition . ”

"Tell me what it is . "

“You only need to find one Destruction Piece . ”

Kang-jun made a confused sound .

"Destruction Piece?”

"There is a place called the Hall of Destruction in the dimensional stations . Killing those who emerge from there can sometimes get you a Destruction Piece . ”

Kang-jun pulled out one item from his space after listening .

He hadn’t known the purpose of the Unknown Piece and had just kept it in his space .

After becoming a transcendent, the distinction between the inventory and space had become blurred . Now that he was a chaotic being, he no longer needed to worry about the number of spaces .

It was possible to create a space and store as much as possible .

“Oh! This?”

The shadow expressed admiration after Kang-jun showed it the item .

"That is a Destruction Piece . ”

The shadow’s eyes lit up . At that moment, an item description window showed up in front of Kang-jun .

[Destruction Piece]

-Rating: Myth

-A piece with the energy of destruction .

-There is a rare probability of it dropping from a monster with the destruction attribute .

It was a Destruction Piece, not an Unknown Piece .

Kang-jun had 52 of them, but he could get hundreds of thousands more .

He could move to the dark space and go to any Hall of Destruction to beat the monsters .

Fortunately, he didn’t need to do such a tedious thing because only one was required . Kang-jun handed it to the shadow .

“Take this and bring Sovereign Aniel to this place . ”

“Yes, Lucan . ”

The shadow bowed respectfully and disappeared somewhere .

After a while, a balding, skinny woman appeared anxiously .

Keirun looked at the woman with mixed emotions .

“Oh! Aniel! It is definitely you . ”

“ . . . . . . ?”

At that moment, Aniel turned her head and saw Keirun . A blue-haired dark elf! She knew who he was .

“K-Keirun?”

Then Keirun embraced her tearfully .

"You must have suffered a lot, Aniel . I never thought I would be able to see you again . ”

“Keirun, how did you . . . ?”

Aniel couldn’t believe this situation . She had just been going through a terrible suffering .

She had been a defeated sovereign in hell .

The shadow bowed to Kang-jun and said,

"Then I will be going if you don’t have another request . ”

“Yes, you may go . ”

Kang-jun smiled and nodded .

In the meantime, Keirun and Aniel were hugging each other while sobbing . However, Keirun soon regained his spirit and introduced Aniel to Kang-jun .

"Aniel, he is Dimensional Sovereign Lucan who pulled you out of hell . He is also my lord . ”

Aniel gazed at Kang-jun with a tumultuous expression . She staggered toward him .

“Thank you very much . . . I still can’t believe that I’m out of hell . Repaying this favour . . . If you would accept then I would like to repay the favour . ”

Kang-jun shook his head .

"It was already paid for by Keirun, so don’t worry about it . For me, Keirun is like my right arm . I’m just granting him a favour . Now, just let Keirun take care of you and rest . ”

Kang-jun waved his hand as he spoke .

Then vigor filled Aniel’s destroyed body . Kang-jun restored her appearance and abilities to their best condition .

“Ah!”

It was like a dream to Aniel .

Instead of the hellish prisoner state, she had returned to looking like an elf . The ash grey hair turned blonde and full and her dried out skin became white as snow .

Keirun smiled .

"Lord, Aniel is a far superior military adviser than me . If you accept her, you won’t be disappointed . ”

A talent that Keirun recommended! Even if she was his lover, his personality meant that he wouldn’t easily recommend something to Kang-jun .

After listening to Keirun, Kang-jun spoke to Aniel,

“Aniel! Do you really want to join my household? It isn’t necessary if you just want to repay a favour . ”

"I would consider it lucky to join the household of Dimensional Sovereign Lucan . My abilities will be helpful to you . ”

Kang-jun immediately accepted Aniel into his household . At the same time, he accepted Keirun’s advice and appointed her as a military adviser under Keirun .

[The elf Aniel has joined your household . ]

[Aniel is now your faithful subordinate . ]

In the meantime, Keirun had been in charge of all the work by himself, but now, he had Aniel, an outstanding military adviser to help him .

Keirun couldn’t stop smiling .

Then other members of Kang-jun’s household, including Heksia and Melinad appeared and congratulated Kang-jun on becoming a dimensional sovereign .

Kang-jun gave every single one of them encouragement .

They had joined his household and would remain with him until the end .

Although they were a little weaker than the other members, Kang-jun didn’t spare any encouragement for Germuz, the ogre, Rodiam, Kajel, and so on .

Then Heksia approached Kang-jun and said,

"Lord, Grania has said that she is willing to join your household . Can you please accept her? She has been waiting here for Lord for a while . ”

438th Army Command Grania .

In the past, Kang-jun had worked hard to try and convince her to join him .

At the time, Grania promised to join if Kang-jun won a duel against her, but now, Kang-jun’s abilities already exceeded hers .

He had been so busy that he had forgotten about it, but Grania was excited that Kang-jun wanted her .

Kang-jun smiled at her .

"Of course . Call Grania . ”

Kang-jun had decided to only accept those with the minimum power of a demon king from now on, but Grania was an exception .

He would keep the words that he had said before .

Thus, the beautiful commander with blue wings came to his headquarters with Heksia .

She instantly fell to her knees in front of Kang-jun and cried out,

"I, Grania, the 438th Commander of the Earth Hwanmong Defense Army will swear my loyalty to Dimensional Sovereign Lucan . ”

“Okay . I look forward to it, Grania . ”

[The angel, Grania, has joined your household . ]

[Grania is now your faithful subordinate . ]

[You have acquired an angel for the first time, so charisma has increased by one . ]

He had not thought that Grania, who had the same temperament as Heksia, would be an angel .

It was the first time that an angel had joined his household .

Something had gone wrong in the Celestial World a long time ago and she fell to Hwanmong . Then she became the boss of the 40-storey Geonmulin building located in Samsung-dong .

Thanks to that, it became Kang-jun’s territory and the 4,000 troops under her joined as well .

"You are an angel of the Celestial World . ”

Kang-jun had thought that Grania was a demon .

Not only Kang-jun, but even Heksia hadn’t known that Grania was an angel as most of her abilities as an angel were sealed .
