Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Punishment of Time (1)

Flash!

The light from Kang-jun’s sword struck Luminael’s body .

Pasususu .

Luminael’s body then turned into dust . However, it had only been a clone as the real Luminael frowned at Kang-jun from a distant place .

“Do you really want to be stubborn, Lucan? You might regret it . ”

“This is the final warning . Return Hayun and the others intact . ”

Kang-jun hadn’t used the power jewel yet . He thought about trying to seal Luminael but decided to give him one last chance .

The illusion wasn’t a welcome thing .

It was obvious that Hayun and the others had been summoned to the Celestial World . Therefore, he thought the advanced angel Luminael would be able to return them like nothing had happened .

However, Luminael ignored Kang-jun’s warning and said with a sigh,

"Whatever you do, they won’t be able to return . The Celestial World has already decided to send you back to reality . If you insist on being stubborn . . . ”

Luminael didn’t finish speaking .

Suddenly, a gleaming light split his chest apart .

Flash!

Kang-jun’s attack was so fast that he only noticed after his heart was struck .

"T-this . . . ”

Luminael made a surprised expression . He knew that Kang-jun was strong, but he hadn’t expected him to be so powerful that Luminael couldn’t even touch him .

"You’re crazy . Do you know what you are doing right now?”

"I'm very normal . Rather, you are the one who doesn’t understand the situation . ”

Luminael groaned .

“Ha! Then it can't be helped . You are now on an irreversible path . ”

Sususu .

His body blurred and disappeared .

As an advanced angel, he had a fighting power similar to a demonic god . In other words, he also had the ability of immortality that didn’t allow him to die .

However, Kang-jun was so strong that there was no way to beat him .

‘I will go back to the Celestial World and check the situation . ’

But he soon fell into shock as he felt his power suddenly escaping from his body .

That wasn’t all .

Before him was a strange place! The moment Kang-jun sliced his chest, he had appeared in a strange place that definitely wasn’t the Celestial World .

‘Where is this place?’

It was a space of unknown darkness .

Although everywhere was dark, he was able to see .

‘Unbelievable! My divine power has been exhausted . ’

He was in a state where his ability as an advanced angel had been lost .

This state meant he was no different from an ordinary human and he couldn’t return to the Celestial World either .

Sususu .

Kang-jun appeared in front of him .

In fact, this was another world that Kang-jun had created using the power of the Sealing Jewel .

Therefore, Kang-jun could use all his strength but the sealed Luminael couldn’t use his .

It was similar to the battle field and punishment field, but the difference was that there was no time limit and the opponent’s ability was sealed .

The most important point was that there was no time limit!

Unless Kang-jun released him, Luminael would be stuck in this world forever .

"How did this . . . . ?”

Luminael realized he couldn’t return to the Celestial World and that he was trapped in a seal .

. . . Sealing an advanced angel of the Celestial World!

Only a small number of demonic gods had the power jewels that were able to do this .

“Don’t tell me that you have the power jewel of a demonic god?”

Kang-jun laughed coldly .

"You don’t need to know . If you are wise, you should only be thinking of one thing— a method to return Hayun, Colt, Shakan and Keljark . ”

Luminael laughed bitterly .

"You are greater than I had thought, but even so, it is foolish to fight against the Celestial World . ”

Kang-jun smiled coldly .

“I don’t want to hear that . Restore Hayun and the others right now, then I will release you . ”

"Once again, those who disappeared from Earth are now out of my hands and I can’t return them even if I want to . ”

"Are you saying this again? It seems like you still don’t know the predicament you’re in . I can’t believe the words of an angel . ”

At that moment, the punishment seal appeared in front of Kang-jun .

[As master of this world, you can punish the prisoners trapped here with the Punishment of Time . ]

[Punishment of Time]

-The target will be trapped in time and made to feel loneliness and despair .

The Sealing Jewel with the formidable power of Hwanmong . . .

It didn’t just lock up the target, a punishment was also added .

It wasn’t anything other than time .

[Please determine the length of punishment . ]

[You can choose freely from a minimum of one year to a maximum of 100 years . ]

Somehow, the punishment seemed harsh .

It was 100 human years, so that was nothing to angels .

However, Kang-jun had sealed Luminael’s abilities, so Luminael’s mentality had dropped to a the level of a human’s .

‘It can’t be helped . I will use 100 years which is the maximum punishment time . ’

This meant the flow of time would be distorted to 100 years when Kang-jun entered and left .

It was a long time for a human .

Luminael, with the mentality of a human, needed to spend that long in the punishment .

It was an empty space where he couldn’t do anything and was powerless .

Of course, Luminael was still unaware of what would happen to him . Kang-jun watched Luminael with a cold expression and declared,

"Please answer wisely the next time I enter . ”

[The Punishment of Time has begun . A countdown to 100 years has begun . ]

After seeing those messages, Kang-jun left the sealed world .

Before he knew it, the door to Hwanmong had closed .

It was time to return to reality .

[The door to Hwanmong is closed . ]

Kang-jun made a devastated expression as he woke up in the bedroom on the top floor of the Delta building .

He had always woken up to Hayun’s bright smile .

However, he wasn’t able to see it today .

Once he returned to reality from the dream, his strange state disappeared with Hayun’s smile . Now, that she wasn’t here, Kang-jun felt a deep emptiness .

This emptiness wasn’t the problem .

It was the thought of never seeing Hayun again that he couldn’t stand .

‘I can’t lose Hayun . ’

It was the same for Colt, Shakan and Keljark .

‘I will get them back even if I have to negotiate with the Celestial World . ’

It would certainly be possible .

One way to get them back was releasing Luminael in exchange for them .

However, that was impossible in reality .

He would only be able to get in touch with the Celestial World in Hwanmong .

'I don’t have time anymore . ’

He wanted to return to the world of Hwanmong as soon as possible, so the three days felt like a long time .

It had only been one hour in reality, but it felt like years had passed .

Even without Hayun, it was likely that no harm would happen to his body while he slept .

Kang-jun had already spread a variety of magics and wards around the house and bedroom that would trigger when hostile presences appeared .

As a result, even transcendents wouldn’t be able to enter here .

Moreover, even if a chaos being had appeared and destroyed Kang-jun’s body, the Kang-jun in Hwanmong wouldn’t die .

It was because once he had reached transcendence, he was no longer bound to his body .

In other words, his body in Earth was the passageway from Hwanmong to Earth, but his life wasn’t influenced by the body .

Kang-jun could even recreate his flesh .

The chaos ability could be used on Earth as well as in Hwanmong .

In extreme terms, even the destruction of Earth wouldn’t affect Kang-jun’s abilities .

However, if Earth disappeared, he would suffer a psychological loss .

After that, he would live forward in Hwanmong without going back and forth between reality and Hwanmong .

Even so, Kang-jun hadn’t told Hayun this . It was because Hayun was proud about protecting Kang-jun .

Kang-jun didn’t want to take away Hayun’s joy .

This was also Kang-jun’s joy . There was only one thing he wanted to see first when he returned to reality and that was Hayun’s bright smile .

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the reason why he returned to reality was Hayun .

However, Hayun had been caught by the Celestial World . If she was a human, she would be dead .

'She is surely alive . ’

Kang-jun would give a warning to the Celestial World to make sure this wouldn’t happen twice in the future . It would be the same for the demonic gods as well .

Kang-jun sat on the roof of the Delta building and stared at the clouds, waiting for time to pass .

He had no thoughts about eating or doing anything .

After some time passed . . .

Chiing!

The Skia rang .

-Lord, it is me, Han Yeon-soo .

In fact, she was Crodin, the black dragon who was in charge of the Black Dragon Law Firm that influenced Earth from the shadows .

Of course, she was also one of Kang-jun’s household members .

Fortunately, the Celestial World hadn’t caught Crodin as well .

“What's going on?"

Kang-jun was very glad to hear from Han Yeon-soo .

Other than Kang-jun, she was the only other alien being on this earth .

-There is something strange regarding the aliens .

‘Aliens . What’s going on?’

Kang-jun summoned Han Yeon-soo immediately .

Han Yeon-soo panicked as she suddenly appeared on top of the Delta building, but she then smiled carefully .

She knew of Kang-jun’s abilities, so summoning an awakened dragon, who was part of his household, was nothing to him .

“I greet Lord . ”

She fell to one knee in front of Kang-jun . Kang-jun nodded and asked,

“Aliens . Are there aliens coming for Earth?”

“That is my guess . Actually, I activated a magic called Watcher’s Eye around the earth and solar system . That way I can handle any annoying enemies before they get close to Earth . ”

She had set up hundreds of warp points in this solar system .

Each of those warp points contained a wide-range detection magic called Watcher’s Eye, allowing her to know when enemies approached .

"Suddenly, they all disappeared yesterday . ”

"The hundreds of Watcher’s Eyes are gone?”

“Yes . So, I have to think that something is aiming for Earth . ”

“I think so as well . ”

Kang-jun nodded . Someone had released the magic of Han Yeon-soo, who was an awakened dragon .

What type of power was coming from outer space?

Furthermore, why so suddenly?

It could be a coincidence, but Kang-jun didn’t think so .

It was obviously related to the Celestial World or demonic gods .

Setting the demonic gods aside . . .

Would the Celestial World do such a thing?

In the past, he would have thought it was ridiculous, but Kang-jun could no longer trust anything in this world .

The advanced angel, Luminael, had done such an unscrupulous thing to Hayun and the others .

Anyway, it didn’t matter who it was .

The war had already started with both sides .

‘I just want some quiet time in reality, but even in here, they won’t leave me alone . Do they really want to try it?’

He didn’t need to guess who was behind this .

It would come out when he grabbed and questioned the ones attacking .
