Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Trampling those with Gold Spoons (8)

Jung Kwang-hyeon immediately looked at the Dafeng building after entering Hwanmong .

Sususu .

The Dafeng building had become his so the interior was clear through a 3D map .

Even the enemy barrack was visible . There was a stage three barrack .

However, there were only 20 troops waiting in the barrack . The base contained a blue-haired young man and the cat-headed monster that bothered Jung Kwang-hyeon last time .

Strangely, he didn’t see Kang-jun or as he was known, Sovereign Lucan .

'What? Where is he? Did he run away?’

It was obvious that he was hiding somewhere because he was scared .

'Pathetic bastard! Does he think he will survive? It will be the end once his base is broken . ’

Jung Kwang-hyeon immediately mobilized his entire army .

"Kuahahaha! A complete assault! Go to Sovereign Lucan’s base and shatter it!”

“Chwiik! Yes, Lord!”

“Kekekeke! I understand . ”

80 orcs and 10 goblins triumphantly marched towards the Dafeng building .

They entered the Dafeng building but didn’t receive any counterattack .

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors were passed without any resistance . It was natural . It was because those areas were under Jung Kwang-hyeon’s domain .

As the orcs entered the 4th floor, ratigers and giant ratian warriors popped out and engaged them .

“Roaaaaar! How dare you come here?”

A ratigers roared but the orcs bravely moved forward .

“Chwik! Chwiik! Attack!"

“Chwiik! Kukyakyakyakya! Kill them all!"

Jung Kwang-hyeon, who was watching the scene, suddenly cocked his head .

'Who are they? Don’t they seem like people?’

There were people among Lucan’s subordinates .

Two men .

They were grumbling while holding an axe in their hands .

“Last time we had to work in the mine and today we are fighting monsters?”

“Sob! Today we are truly screwed, Hyung-nim . ”

They were Hwang Seong-gil and Cho Sang-jin . Due to Kang-jun’s Soul Exploitation skill, they were automatically summoned to Hwanmong . Once the base was in danger, they were placed in the defense troops .

Jung Kwang-hyeon thought it was absurd .

'What are those brats doing over there?’

He laughed . It didn’t matter . He didn’t care if they died or not . They weren’t threats so there was no need to worry .

Kakang! Puok!

“Kuwaaack!”

“Keeeek . ”

The battle became fierce .

As the battle raged on, the cramped corridors of the goshiwon expanded . The internal structure itself didn’t change but the enemy’s small and powerful troops resisted .

Despite many orcs waiting in the rear, the orcs in the front died .

But that only lasted for a moment . Except for three rooms in the goshiwon, everything else was owned by Jung Kwang-hyeon . He activated the defense capabilities of the place to attack Lucan’s men .

Kuwang! Syuok! Syuok!

A door popped open and arrows were fired .

That wasn’t all . Buffs were applied and the orcs’ health gradually recovered . No matter how much pain they were in, they kept fighting .

In the end, the ratigers and giant ratian warriors were pushed back .

“Huhuhu, Lucan! Are you watching? This is the ability of a golden spoon that you must envy . Poor bastard! From the very beginning, you were not my opponent . Kukuk! Hahaha!"

Jung Kwang-hyeon was convinced of his victory as he watched the battlefield .

'If Lucan is dead then I can obtain his sovereign token . ’ His level would also rise after achieving the mission . ‘Hu, am I becoming too strong?’

Everything was going smoothly so far . There was nothing to fear in the world .

Now he only needed to wait, so there was a leisurely smile on his face . After solving today’s problem, he would enjoy the real world in the future .

'Now that I have that nurse, should I aim for a doctor next?’

Female plastic surgery doctors tended to be beauties . Jung Kwang-hyeon recalled the nurse’s defeated expression .

Gulp!

'Huhu, my mouth is watering . ’

This war would soon be over and the door to Hwanmong would close .

It was at that moment .

[The enemy has appeared . ]

[The barrier is under attack . ]

‘What does that mean? The enemy!’

Who was it? Currently, all of Lucan’s forces were trapped in the Dafeng building .

So it didn’t make sense that the Yugang building would be attacked .

Yet this ridiculous situation was actually happening .

Sususu .

At that moment, he expanded the area being attacked on the 3D map .

“Kuwaaaaaah!”

There was a huge roar as a monster punched the barrier . It was an ogre .

'Heok! T-that guy?’

Jung Kwang-hyeon freaked out . A giant ogre normally seen in movies had appeared .

Of course, Hwanmong was a dream world . It was a world where such monsters could show up . The question was why an ogre suddenly appeared to attack Yugang’s barrier .

Kwang kwang kwang kwang!

The barrier’s durability fell at a frightening rate every time the ogre’s fist hit it .

[Yugang building’s 2nd stage barrier: 87%]

Yugang building was owned by Jung Kwang-hyeon so he could strengthen the barrier . He didn’t worry about money and upgraded it .

Yet the ignorantly strong ogre just sneered and smashed the barrier .

[Yugang building’s 2nd stage barrier: 76%]

The durability kept falling . At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the barrier broke .

Jung Kwang-hyeon hastily issued a command .

"Pull out! Withdraw right away! Kill the ogre destroying the barrier!”

Now wasn’t the time to destroy Lucan’s base . He can do that at any time . If he left the ogre alone then the Yugang building would be shattered .

The orcs withdrew and hurriedly headed to the Yugang building after Jung Kwang-hyeon’s order .

At this time, the durability of the barrier was already at the bottom .

[Yugang building’s 2nd stage barrier: 12%]

The ogre wasn’t alone . A silver-haired man was aiming a black sword at the barrier .

Jung Kwang-hyeon’s eyes widened as he saw the person .

"That guy!"

He already knew what Kang-jun looked like . This was the first time Jung Kwang-hyeon saw him directly but he instantly knew his identity .

"H-how did Lucan get an ogre?”

Jung Kwang-hyeon lost his spirit .

Kwaang!

At that moment, the barrier around the Yugang building faded away .

[The barrier of the Yugang building has been destroyed . ]

“Kuwaaaaaah!”

The ogre Germuz roared towards the group of orcs .

“C-chweek!”

“Chwiiik!”

The orcs were scared and stopped .

It was the most feared enemy of the orcs! The predatory ogre was right in front of them so they froze .

Jung Kwang-hyeon shouted after he saw the scene .

"You stupid bastards! Attack the ogre! Attack now! It is a command!”

After giving several orders through the crystal ball, the orcs flocked with their axes .

Then Kang-jun said towards Germuz .

"Can you handle it alone?”

“Kukuk! Of course . Lord doesn’t have to worry about me . ”

Despite there being 90 enemies, Germuz didn’t even blink .

“Kuwaaaaaah!”

A storm struck the orcs . Of course, the storm was from Germuz’s fast movements .

Bam! Bam bam! Bam!

“Keek!”

“Kuweeek!”

"Ack!"

Germuz used his gloves, his strength making the heads and limbs of the orcs blow off .

[11 nodes have been gained . ]

[13 nodes have been gained . ]

[The lowest grade health potion has been obtained . ]

[A shiny scroll has been obtained . ]

[10 nodes have been gained . ]

The orcs dropped some items as they collapsed . Germuz ate the experience but the money and japtem belonged to Kang-jun .

In the meantime, Kang-jun had occupied the 1st floor and gone down to the basement .

‘Wait! What is the shiny scroll?’

Usually some type of knowledge or skills could be found in a scroll . Kang-jun didn’t kill the orcs directly so it couldn’t be knowledge .

If so, it was probably a skill .

'I’ll have to check it later . ’

He had competent subordinates so he could obtain the japtem .

Kang-jun had a warm smile on his face as he struck the basement door .

“Chwik! Enemy . . . . kueek!”

“Chwiik! Where . . . kek!”

Orcs were quickly summoned at the barracks but they quickly fell in front of Kang-jun . The orcs didn’t slow down Kang-jun’s speed .

He instantly took over the basement and ran to the 2nd floor .

“Kuoooooh!”

Then the door on the 2nd floor turned into a golem and aimed a huge fist at Kang-jun . The self-defense capabilities given to the owner of a building!

Kwang! Papak! Kwa kwa kwang!

However, Kang-jun wielded his sword as swiftly as the wind and crushed the door .

Jung Kwang-hyeon, who was watching from the 3D map on the 5th floor, felt his mouth gape open . His legs started trembling .

[The 2nd floor has been occupied by the enemy . ]

The 2nd floor was occupied . It was only one person . The dirt bag that he had ignored so much!

He couldn’t believe it . He didn’t want to admit it .

It was ridiculous . Yet that was the reality .

[The 3rd floor has been occupied by the enemy . ]

Jung Kwang-hyeon panicked as a message appeared stating the 3rd floor was occupied .

“Ohh! This is ridiculous! How does a poor person like that have such skills?”

Despite the circumstances, he still wanted to deny Kang-jun’s abilities .

However, the situation kept becoming more frightening .

Defeat!

That’s right . It was a defeat, not a victory .

Losing to an insignificant person who only spent 250,000 won for a room!

He was the owner of the Yugang and Dafeng buildings! The combined value of the two buildings was more than 10 billion .

He couldn’t believe it .

"Ugh! This can’t be happening . Never . . . ”

Jung Kwang-hyeon didn’t want to lose . He prayed for a miracle . Even if it meant selling his soul to the devil, he wanted to escape this situation somehow .

It was at that moment .

(Do you need help, Herod?)

“Who?”

Where did the voice suddenly come from? Jung Kwang-hyeon looked around in surprise .

(Don’t be surprised . We have come to make you a good offer . )

"Who are you?"

(It doesn’t matter who we are . The important thing is your survival! Surely you don’t want to be destroyed like this?)

"Ugh! What do you want to talk to me about?”

(We will help you . Defeating your enemy . We have that kind of power . The situation is urgent right now . If you don’t hurry then you will die . )

Jung Kwang-hyeon’s expression hardened . That’s right . The 3rd floor had just been occupied! The 4th floor would be captured shortly after that .

“How will you help me? And what do you want?”

(10,000 nodes . )

"10,000 nodes? I don’t have that type of money . ”

(We know that you don’t have that type of money . But it won’t be hard to raise that type of money in the future . )

That’s right . Considering that he would now get the taxes of the Dafeng building as well, obtaining 10,000 nodes wouldn’t be hard .

(Decide quickly . He is almost here . )

A new message appeared .

[Do you accept the offer of the Kajel Brothers? Yes/No]

[Charisma will permanently reduce by 2 if you accept . ]

Something like this! The voices were living beings?

Furthermore, accepting would permanently reduce charisma by two!

Jung Kwang-hyeon frowned . He didn’t care about the 10,000 nodes .

He had four points in charisma . If it dropped by two then he would only have two left .

However, that would be irrelevant if he died .

"O-okay . ”

Jung Kwang-hyeon shed some bitter tears as he nodded .

Honestly, he had no other ways .

He had to grab onto anything .

[Charisma has permanently reduced by 2 . ]

After the message appeared, his surroundings started to change .

Susususu .

It was the rooftop of the Yugang building .

Two ugly monsters that Jung Kwang-hyeon had never seen before stood in front of him .

Two spherical monsters were floating .

Dozens of tentacles sprang from their bodies like snakes .

‘Euh! They are just things!’

They seemed to be called the Kajel Brothers .

It was at that moment .

Kwatang!

The rooftop door shattered and a man appeared . He was holding a black sword and wearing a blue cloak . Of course, he was Kang-jun .

"What are those things?”

Kang-jun was puzzled . He had reached the 5th floor but Jung Kwang-hyeon was on the roof . Furthermore, there were monsters present .

[Mission 9] Kill the Kajel Brothers .

-Compensation: Experience, 2000 nodes, 5 Essence of Darkness

‘A mission!’

He hadn’t received a mission while destroying Jung Kwang-hyeon’s base . It was because the risk was too low .

Now that a mission had been generated, it meant the combat power of the two monsters was high .

Sususuk!

If so, he needed to use something first . Aura of the Wind!

"Kukukuku! Insignificant human sovereign!”

"Kikiki! If you give us your sovereign token . . . ”

Kang-jun had reached them while the spherical bodies were talking .

‘Heavenly Cut!’

It was the first time he was using this skill! The opponents were formidable so it was worth using 40 black magic energy .

Flash!

The Warrior’s Sword split the space in front of him .

Sukeok!

It was the end . One of the three metre wide spherical bodies were sliced in half .

"K-kueeeeeok!”

The mutilated body fell to the ground and black smoke scattered from it .

“Kuooooh . H-How dare you!”

At that moment, tentacles from the other spherical body wound around him .

Chwack! Chwaaaak!

Kang-jun just calmly swung his sword and cut off the tentacles . He tried counterattacking but it wasn’t easy to hit the fast moving spherical body .

Hwaruruk!

In addition, fire poured from his mouth .

Hwaruru! Kwaang!

Kang-jun avoided it . However, the flames burning nearby started to slowly decrease his health .

'Shit!'

A magical flying enemy!

Unlike Keirun’s illusion, this was real magic .

‘Euh! That guy isn’t giving me any room . ’

He witnessed Kang-jun’s strength and intelligently attacked Kang-jun from a distance . He fled every time Kang-jun chased .

This wasn’t an easy opponent .

It was at that moment .

“Kukuk! How dare a monster do this? Drop dead!”

There was a wild voice as something grabbed the body of the kajel .

It was Germuz .

Kwang kwang!

Germuz slammed the kajel against the ground several times and tore off the tentacles . At that moment, the kajel opened his mouth .

Hwaruru! Kwaang!

“Keoooook!”

Germuz rolled across the ground as he was covered in flames .

Kang-jun approached the kajel at that time .

Flash! Sukeok!

He once again used Heavenly Cut .

“Kuooooh! H-how vexing . . . ”

The kajel was split in half and scattered into smoke .

[Mission 9 has been completed . ]

[As a reward, enough experience will be given to increase your level . ]

[2,000 nodes have been given as compensation . ]

[Five Essence of Darkness will be given as compensation . ]

What were they?

Well, he reached Lv17 thanks to them .

Meanwhile, Germuz had put out the flames on his body .

"Ku! I was caught off guard, Lord . That goddamn bastard! Aigoo, it was hot . ”

"Are you okay?"

"That's okay . . . Lord, watch your back!”

Germuz hurriedly exclaimed and pointed behind Kang-jun . Jung Kwang-hyeon was running towards Kang-jun’s back with an axe .

“Kuku! Die!”

Swiik!

However, Kang-jun acted faster .

Pak!

His black sword crossed Jung Kwang-hyeon’s neck in a flash .

“ . . . Kuaak!”

Jung Kwang-hyeon’s body trembled . His hands rose to his neck before he fell with wide, open eyes .

Kung!

It was the end of Sovereign Herod .
