Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Demonic Dragon’s Ring (3)

Kang-jun stared at Keirun .

“You are the shadow sovereign? So you were after this from the beginning . ”

And Keirun quickly replied .

“Don’t look so bitter . You just have to win everything . That is how to rule the world of Hwanmong . ”

“I have to win everything?”

“Of course . The loser has to give everything to the winner . But I’m not interested in anything else that you have . Only the sovereign token! I will go away if you give it to me . ”

“Shut up! You won’t be able to take it from my hand unless you kill me . ”

Keirun looked completely like a warlock . It would be difficult for Kang-jun to resist with his own strength .

However, he wasn’t about to give up the ring without a fight . He would be deprived of the sovereign ring as well as fail the mission .

Defeat in the world of Hwanmong meant death . He would die anyway so it was better to die trying .

Keirun just laughed like it was ludicrous .

“Silly, young fool . So you wish to die . ”

He then held up his right hand .

Swiing!

At that moment, a huge amount of wind blew and started rotating .

Kwa kwa kwa kwa!

Surprisingly, the origin of the vortex was coming from Keirun’s right hand . A ray of green light hit it and the swirling wind became increasingly larger .

‘W-what on earth is that?’

Kang-jun’s mouth dropped open .

It was obviously magic . A huge swirl in the sky!

Keirun was a warlock with tremendous power .

“Do you see boy? This is why I was dubbed the sovereign of the black storm! Also known as, Hell Storm . ”

“H-Hell Storm!”

“That’s right . You should have heard the name . The ultimate fire magic called Hellfire! This wind magic is comparable to that . ”

“Euh! Shit!”

Kang-jun knew about the fire magic called Hellfire . The ultimate fire magic that a dragon used! He knew of its existence from fantasy novels .

Keirun was boasting that his wind magic Hell Storm was just as amazing as that . If so, it would be impossible for Kang-jun to win over Keirun and he would die .

The only weapon he had was a wooden stick . But he had to fight with Keirun so early on . He had his subordinates but they would be useless . The ratians would just be mere bugs in front of Hell Storm .

Keirun gave a wicked laugh .

“This is my final warning . If you hand me the sovereign token now then I won’t kill you . ”

“Shut up! Won’t I still die if the token is snatched away?”

“You are mistaken . If the sovereign token is taken away, you will become a shadow sovereign and still have the chance to regain your position . But you will die if I destroy you here . You shouldn’t end so soon . ”

“……!”

There was a difference .

Keirun’s eyes flashed with intimidation .

“Now, make your choice . Will you select eternal despair? Or will your choose humiliating survival with a chance to recover again?”

Eternal despair meant that he would be destroyed .

Once again, there was still a chance to recover from being a shadow sovereign if he lost his qualifications . However, Kang-jun didn’t consider the second option at all .

Would Keirun really spare Kang-jun if he received the ring? There was no way that would happen . Kang-jun would absolutely never give up without any opposition .

‘Fight to the death . ’

Kang-jun was already prepared for death .

‘Summon Hayun!’

He summoned his household member, Hayun .

Hayun was called but the situation was slightly regretful .

Sususu .

Hayun appeared in her neat white dress . She opened her eyes and stared at the surroundings .

“This is Hwanmong . It looks just like reality . ”

“Look at it later . We are being attacked . ”

Kang-jun pointed at Keirun and said .

Hayun looked over and was puzzled .

“There is something strange . ”

“Yes . He is the shadow sovereign called Keirun . Right now he is using the ultimate magic Hell Storm . ”

“Wait! That is an illusion . ”

“An illusion?”

“It looks real but is actually nothing . My gut feeling isn’t wrong and I wouldn’t deceive you . ”

Then Keirun’s expression stiffened . A sign that he was upset about something .

“Unbelievable! A senior ghost! Why can you already summon a senior ghost?”

Keirun thought that Hayun was a senior ghost . A virgin ghost was the most frightening so it made sense that she would be a senior ghost .

Looking at Keirun’s panicked face, it seemed like Hayun’s words were correct .

“So it really was an illusion? You tried to trick me into handing over the Demonic Dragon’s Ring . ”

“Kuoh! Shut up . Why would I use Hell Storm on someone like you?”

With those words, he stretched his right hand forward .

Hwiing!

The vortex in the sky struck downwards .

Kwa kwa kwa kwang! Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

It was a scene where the area was crumbling . The buildings were overturned .

“Kang-jun! This is just an illusion . ”

Hayun hurriedly exclaimed . Kang-jun nodded .

“Don’t worry . ”

Kang-jun watched the scene in front of him without blinking an eye . He figured out that everything was only an illusion . Kang-jun knew that the sight of the buildings collapsing was just like a 3D hologram .

The problem was the ratians .

“Kyaaak!”

“Keeeek . ”

Unlike Kang-jun, they were confused and scattered in every direction .

“Gather over here . ”

Kang-jun urgently gave a command but the ratians had fallen into a panic and didn’t easily return .

Keirun gave a smile of triumph and chanted a spell .

“Kukuku! Nwahorulosukal niswigural! Vengeful spirits that never sleep! Now release your resentment…”

At that moment, dozens of sobbing could be heard in the darkness .

“Huooooh!”

“Huhuhuhuk!”

Over dozens of ghosts . They started flocking due to Keirun’s spell .

An expression of ridicule appeared on Hayun’s face .

“Leave it to me . I know these kids . The vast majority of them are those who died in car accidents near here . They didn’t even dare approach me in the past . ”

“Aren’t there too many of them?”

“Don’t worry . They are weak ghosts . I alone will be sufficient . ”

Hayun showed her self-confidence . Indeed, the ghosts seemed surprised the moment they saw Hayun .

“Then take out the ghosts Hayun . ”

“Yes . ”

Hayun shot like an arrow towards the ghosts . The ghosts turned into smoke every time her hands grabbed them .

‘How great . ’

Kang-jun watched with delight . Hayun was clearly the god of the area .

‘I will take care of Keirun . ’

He didn’t miss covertly approaching Keirun while watching the ghosts .

At that moment, Keirun’s face stiffened . The illusion of Hell Storm had failed to scare Kang-jun and even the attack of the ghosts failed . All of it was because of the senior ghost .

‘Oduk! Dammit! This was an unexpected variable . ’

The abilities he had as a sovereign had long since scattered . Thanks to that, he was now only slightly stronger than a ghost . He painfully gathered black magic energy over a long period of time and took advantage of it .

That was the illusion magic . The illusion of Hell Storm that appeared earlier . He had to somehow snatch the sovereign token from Kang-jun . Of course, he would start again at Lv1 but his previous experience meant it would be possible to raise his level at a fast pace .

But his plan had failed . Despite the illusion in front of him, Kang-jun never took out the sovereign token . Then the senior ghost showed up and told him it was an illusion .

It was totally unexpected . He had been careless because the other sovereign was someone who lived an ordinary life in the human world .

‘I underestimated him . Shit!’

A willpower that didn’t yield to fear! In addition, he had the good luck to have a senior ghost as a subordinate!

‘I have to admit that he is a great guy . However, I need to kill him . ’

The black magic energy he collected was almost gone . He only had six attacks left! Despite being Lv1, his species characteristics gave him a natural affinity with the wind . Therefore, he was convinced that a mere human sovereign wouldn’t be able to defeat him .

Susuk . Susususuk .

Keirun’s body flew like the wind towards Kang-jun . Kang-jun jumped with surprise as Keirun suddenly rushed towards him .

“Kukuk! Drop dead!”

A black dagger suddenly appeared in Keirun’s right hand .

Swish!

A fast and accurate attack that an elderly person wouldn’t be able to see! The dagger flew towards Kang-jun’s chest in an instant .

‘Ick!’

Kang-jun swiftly turned his body to avoid the attack . At that moment, Keirun’s dagger also changed direction .

Chwack! Chwaack!

“Ugh!”

The dagger grazed his left side and forearm . There was a hot pain as he started bleeding .

‘Shit! Fast . ’

Usually, a warlock would only use magic . But Keirun’s movements were as good as an assassin .

Hwing hwing!

Kang-jun furiously swung the wooden stick but Keirun seemed to predict the direction and avoided it .

‘Shit! This isn’t enough . ’

Kang-jun threw the wooden stick . He would rather meet the enemy with his body instead of an uncomfortable weapon .

‘It is easier with my bare hands . ’

Kang-jun formed fists and took a stance .

Chwack! Chwack chwack chwack!

Kang-jun’s body was cut by Keirun’s dagger everytime he moved .

Kang-jun instantly became bloody .

However, his eyes were still calm . Dirt was falling from his skin thanks to Aura of Earth .

‘Right . I just need one gap . ’

Kang-jun slipped in jabs but he was waiting for a decisive attack . In addition, he thoroughly defended his belly and forearm .

Then Keirun roughly wielded his dagger .

“Drop dead! Go to hell!”

Papapat!

Kang-jun continued to avoid the dagger coming at a dazzling speed . At that moment, Kang-jun used his right foot to kick Keirun’s left knee .

“Cough!”

Keirun stumbled, losing his balance . Kang-jun’s body jumped forward .

And that was the end .

Bam bam!

His feet successively kicked at Keirun’s head .

“Keoooook!”

Keirun fell on his back . His bloody face looked like a monster .

“Kuoh! D-dammit!”

He instantly tried to get up . But Kang-jun was already stepping on his chest .

“Bye Keirun!”

“Ooh! W-wait a minute!”

Kwakwang!

Kang-jun’s foot fell towards Keirun’s face like a hammer .
