Chapter 65: Serving as Reinforcements (2)

It was a huge enclosed stone room .

There was a red gem on one side of it .

It was a very familiar training room .

Heksia immediately swept a glance over the sovereigns and said,

“I will choose the total sovereign again . That method is to challenge the current total sovereign, Lucan, and take him down . Your achievements won’t be cut if you are defeated . However, in the case of victory, you will become the total sovereign and receive 50 achievement points . Any challengers, come out . ”

The strong-willed Zenith pulled out his axe then .

"I will do it . ”

“Okay . Start . ”

Zenith instantly rushed toward Kang-jun and wielded his axe . The axe grew three or four times larger and literally exploded in Kang-jun’s space .

Kwaang!

‘I won . ’

Zenith was delighted . This was his strongest skill .

If he hit properly with the axe, it was a power that couldn’t be tolerated even by an ogre or a minotaur .

The last time, he had been confused and couldn’t use this skill . However, this time he was confident of his victory .

But unlike his expectations, Kang-jun had already escaped the radius of the skill .

Sukeok!

Then Kang-jun’s sword flashed and Zenith’s head was cut off .

Kung!

Zenith’s body turned into smoke and appeared in front of the resurrection jewel .

“Shit! It is a scam . This is nonsense!”

He screamed . Heksia snorted and glanced at the other sovereigns .

“The next challenger . ”

“ . . . . . . ”

“No one?”

The sovereigns all avoided Heksia’s eyes .

Avia was more competitive than the others, yet she showed no signs of moving .

“What? This is so boring . There is nothing to lose when you die, so don’t any of you want to challenge him?”

She taunted them .

“Then the total sovereign is Lucan . ”

[You have earned 50 red moon achievement points . ]

The message was sent to Kang-jun straight away .

‘It feels like I got it without doing anything . ’

If that was the case, the gap would increase even further .

Heksia turned toward Kang-jun .

"Lucan! Be vigilant . You are still a frog inside a well . The sovereigns of the other armies are also building up achievement points like you . ”

That’s right . Kang-jun’s competitors weren’t the sovereigns in the 439th Army .

The sovereigns of the other armies, particularly the strongest of them, would be his true competitors .

“I know . So, let’s go destroy the subordinates of the Second Demon King . ”

Heksia nodded .

"Since the ghoul lord was defeated last time, many nagas have been attacking our territory . ”

Nagas were monsters with the head of a person but the body of a snake .

"Then there is a war with the nagas . ”

"I haven’t seen the naga queen appear yet but I still think I should take the vanguard today . ”

“I understand . ”

"However, not you . Right now, I have a request for assistance from another army . ”

"Request for assistance?”

Heksia nodded .

"I am the commander of the army and can’t leave this area, so you will lead any volunteers . ”

Heksia immediately cried out to the other sovereigns .

"The 438th Army has asked for support . Does anyone want to go with the total sovereign to help? Except for the volunteers, the other sovereigns will go with me to hunt nagas . ”

Five sovereigns, including Avia, raised their hands without hesitation .

"I will go help . ”

"I will follow the total sovereign . ”

They were the sovereigns allied with Kang-jun .

Apart from them, no one else decided to go help .

It was the same for the other sovereigns, not just the ones in Hardis’ alliance .

They thought it would be better to hunt monsters safely with the commander than to go somewhere unknown .

Heksia nodded .

“Okay . Instead, you must follow the command of the total sovereign on the battlefield . "

“Yes . ”

"I understand . "

Hardis’ and Zenith’s eyes narrowed as Avia, Caper, Haniel, Brio and Rosina followed Kang-jun .

'What? Have they joined up with Lucan?’

‘Do they think it will be safe to make us their enemies?'

However, Avia and the others didn’t even blink .

They didn’t ally with Kang-jun because they were afraid of Hardis or Zenith . They only feared Kang-jun .

Heksia handed a scroll to Kang-jun .

"Lucan, give this to Commander Grania of the 438th Army . ”

“Yes . ”

"Then move to that portal . Good luck . ”

A new magic circle appeared on the floor and Kang-jun entered the magic circle with Avia .

After a few moments, Kang-jun appeared at the battlefield where the red moon was floating .

"Kihihihi!”

"Kalkalkakal!”

A shield was spread out over a certain radius around the resurrection gem and laughter could be heard from every direction .

He could see pale faces with pointed fangs protruding from the mouth . They were vampires .

"Kill these damn vampires!”

“Kyaaak!”

"Kalkalkakal!”

“Give me blood!”

“Aaaah! H-help . . . aaaack!”

A group of people were fighting the vampires .

Of course, they were the sovereigns from the 438th Army .

Some sovereigns were able to get rid of a few vampires but more sovereigns were falling to them .

However, their battle was nothing compared to the other one taking place .

A woman with blue wings and a man with huge bat wings were engaging in a fierce battle .

Hwaruru! Kuaang!

Pajik! Jijijik!

Lava-like flames flashed in their air . Clouds formed in the sky and lightning flashed down .

It was a spectacular sight .

Unlike Heksia and the ghoul lord who fought physically, magic was prevalent in this battle .

Avia stiffened as she saw them .

It was at that moment .

"Aaaaack!"

There was a horrifying scream and the woman with blue wings crashed to the ground .

“Kuhahahahaha!”

The man with bad wings just laughed coldly from the sky .

Sususu .

At the same time, the woman with blue wings appeared in front of Kang-jun . She was the woman who had just crashed . She staggered and groaned .

“Ha! I don’t know how many times I’ve died . If it wasn’t for the Jewel of Darkness . . . ”

She suddenly turned and looked at Kang-jun, then she said with a straightforward attitude .

"I am Commander Grania of the 438th Army . Who are you?”

Commander Grania? She was a commander and she just died . This must be a terrible battlefield for a commander to have died .

Kang-jun immediately handed her the scroll .

"I am Lucan, the total sovereign from the 439th Army . Commander Heksia ordered me to give you support . ”

Grania unfolded the scroll and read the contents .

“Ah! Are you that Lucan? The sovereign who made a decisive contribution against the ghoul lord . ”

"You know about me?"

"Heksia complimented you so much that I got a tick in my ear . ”

"I was just lucky . ”

“I don’t care if it was just luck . As you can see, I am currently in a desperate situation . There isn’t a competent sovereign in this army, so no one has succeeded . They all died as soon as they entered the mansion . ”

Grania raised her hand and pointed to a place .

A large mansion could be seen on a distant hill .

"The Jewel of Darkness is in that mansion . Whether you are lucky or skillful, please destroy it as soon as possible . ”

"Will we get anything for destroying the Jewel of Darkness?”

"Of course . If any of you complete the mission, they will receive 100 achievement points and the others will receive 50 points . In addition, the one with the largest contribution will be given extra compensation . How about it? Can you do it?"

"I will do it . ”

The attack power of the vampires seemed to be superior to the ghouls, so it was a tough mission .

“Then I will go and deal with the vampire lord . ”

Grania flew back to the vampire lord .

Kwarururung! Flash! Pajijijik!

The magic battle started once again .

Kang-jun looked at Avia and said,

"I will rush ahead to the mansion . Follow behind me and take care of the enemies on the side . ”

“Yes . ”

“I understand . ”

Avia and the others were nervous . Even if Kang-jun pierced a path, it wasn’t easy to pass the area filled with infested vampires .

Moreover, it wouldn’t end when they reached the mansion .

They didn’t know what it might be filled with .

It would be hard to find and destroy the Jewel of Darkness .

Kang-jun raised the Warrior’s Sword and said,

“If you die then just wait here in front of the resurrection gem . Coming alone can also cause death . Also, those who don’t have any confidence should just stay here . You will still be given a reward anyway . "

Avia and the others shook their heads .

"I can't do that . ”

"Even if I end up dying, I want to try it at least once . ”

"We can’t receive compensation without even trying . ”

Kang-jun just smiled .

"Then let’s depart . ”

“Yes, total sovereign . ”

Avia and the others tightened their grip on their weapons .

The moment that Kang-jun ran out of the shield,

Chwack!

“Kyaaak!”

A vampire that had been hitting the shield fell down with a wound in its chest .

Sukeok!

Another vampire was cut at the neck and died . Avia saw it and hurriedly exclaimed .

“There is no time to hesitate . Go and follow behind Lucan . ”

“Yes . ”

Avia and the others followed Kang-jun .

Kang-jun adjusted his speed so that they could follow .

However, the vampires were clever and quick . They approached like shadows and attacked secretly .

"Kihihihi!”

"Aack!"

Eventually, Haniel was bitten by a vampire and died .

‘Damn!’

Unfortunately, Kang-jun couldn’t do anything about it since he was running ahead .

Of course, he could move slowly and protect everyone but the situation didn’t allow it .

Like Grania said, they were running out of time .

If the sovereign couldn’t come out, then it was better for them to wait at the resurrection gem .

"Aaaagh!"

"Kyaaack!”

Caper and Rosina were the next ones slain by vampires .

Kang-jun ignored the screams behind him and ran forward . Even if they were in an alliance, he couldn’t protect them like they were children . They needed to raise their skills themselves .

“Aaaah! These guys, come on! Kuaack!”

In the end, even Brio was hit by the vampires .

At this time, Kang-jun arrived at the mansion . Avia killed the vampires and approached . She gazed at Kang-jun .

“We finally arrived at the mansion . ”

"There will be many enemies inside, so be careful . ”

“Don’t worry . I can protect my own body . ”

Avia smiled confidently as she held up her blue spear . Kang-jun nodded and entered the front door of the mansion .

Kwatang!

The door was broken and a garden with many black flowers could be seen .

"Intruders!"

"Kill them!"

There were vampire magicians wearing red robes .

Blackish red flames emerged from their hands .

Hwaruru! Hwarururu!

Receiving damage couldn’t be avoided .

'Shit! This is why the sovereigns died . ’

Kang-jun just rushed through the flames .

It was something he wouldn’t have been able to do without his legend grade armour .

Hwaruru!

Fortunately, the flames winding around his body disappeared without a trace . Additionally, only a little bit of his health was reduced .

"Ohh!”

“Avoid it!"

The confused vampire magicians tried to flee but Kang-jun’s sword was faster . Avia also ran quickly and swung her spear .

Supapak!

“Aaack!”

"Cough!"

The vampire magicians collapsed helplessly .

Kang-jun moved forward .

‘Over there . ’

A shiny black jewel was inside the garden!

It was the Jewel of Darkness .

Surprisingly, a man with bat wings was guarding it . Both his eyes burned blood red .

"Huhuhuhu, you have amazing skills to come this far . ”

The pale skin and red eyes were filled with madness .

An eerie aura was coming from him .

‘What? Are there two vampire lords?’

Grania and the vampire lord were still fighting fiercely in the air, yet there was another vampire lord here .

(Lucan . He is a clone of the vampire lord . )

It was Grania’s voice .

(His clone can’t use a lot of magic but he is still a tough opponent to deal with . You have to destroy the jewel somehow . )

“Kuhuhuhu! Then shall we make this a festival of blood?”

At that time, the man giggled and disappeared .

"Kuook!”

And there was a scream from the rear .

Kang-jun turned around to see the man biting Avia’s neck .

“Ah . . . ”

Avia turned pale as her blood was sucked and turned into smoke .

“Kikikik! Delicious . Too fresh . "

The man poked out his tongue and gazed at Kang-jun .
