Chapter 119: Demon King Cerato (2)

Then Cerato made an even more astonished expression .

Even though Cerato could attack again, Kang-jun had given the Destruction Scythe back!

He thought it would be returned after he became a household member .

However, those were just Cerato’s thoughts .

Kang-jun wasn’t stupid enough to create a situation he couldn’t deal with .

In other words, if Cerato showed even the slightest of movements, Kang-jun would throw him away . It was very easy for him, which is why he returned the Destruction Scythe .

However, Cerato didn’t know this and was impressed .

He fell to his knees and pushed the Destruction Scythe forward .

“I, Demon King Cerato, will, from now on devote my loyalty to Sovereign Lucan . This is an indication of my loyalty, so please accept it . ”

Cerato offered Kang-jun the Destruction Scythe .

[The demon king, Cerato, has joined your household . ]

[Cerato is now your faithful subordinate . ]

[You have acquired a demon king for your household for the first time . ]

[Charisma has risen by one . ]

Thus, he gained a demon king as a subordinate .

Additionally, his charisma rose by one .

Suuk .

Kang-jun received the Destruction Scythe easily . There was no reason to reject the sign of loyalty, especially when it was a myth grade weapon .

“Okay . I will accept your sincerity . But if you give me this, what are you going to use as a weapon?”

Cerato laughed .

"It doesn’t matter since there are several weapons that I can use . ”

Cerato took out another scythe-shaped weapon from his space .

One side of the weapon was slightly shorter, so it was better to call it a sickle than a scythe .

It was a myth grade weapon that shone with an eerie red light! The attack power seemed more powerful . It just didn’t have the ability to stop regeneration like the Destruction Scythe .

"That is a fairly usable weapon . ”

Kang-jun nodded and put the Destruction Scythe in his inventory .

Cerato exclaimed vigorously,

"Please tell me if there is anything you need, Lord!”

“Knowledge of the dimensional system . ”

“Huh? Knowledge?”

"Today is the first time that I’ve left Earth Hwanmong . So, I am lacking knowledge about this place . I don’t know everything . ”

Cerato smiled like he knew what Kang-jun meant .

“Kuhuhu! If you want knowledge about this place, then you’ve come to the right person . As a pirata, what place haven’t I gone to? If you have any questions, just ask me . I’ll tell you everything . ”

“Okay . What are those things that look like stars?”

“They are sub-dimensional worlds of the big dimensions . We call this place, with the dimensional sea, the big dimension and those star-like things, the small dimensions . Earth Hwanmong that Lord came out of is also a small dimension . ”

"I see . ”

Of course, Kang-jun had already guessed this, but he had a clearer understanding after hearing Cerato’s explanation .

"Some of them are in a fixed position and some are in motion . What is the difference?”

They didn’t move in a certain direction like a meteor but back and forth like a star .

Kang-jun wondered what these, in particular, were .

Cerato responded with a smile .

"The fixed ones are the moderately large-scale worlds, including Earth Hwanmong . The ones that are moving are very small worlds . ”

"Small worlds?”

“Yes, many are approximately the size of this sailboat . ”

"Then it is better to call it a space, rather than a world . ”

"However, it is an independent world, so it is separated from the space . It is a small space, but it contains all the conditions necessary for life . That one over there, if you stop by it, you’ll understand what I mean . ”

As he spoke, he pointed towards the nearest world .

"Let's move the ship to that world, Lord . ”

The nearest shining world wasn’t in a fixed location and was moving back and forth .

"Is that small world the size of a sailboat?”

"I don’t know . We won’t know how big it is until we open the door of the dimension . We should go inside . ”

Kang-jun was interested, so he nodded .

“Okay, let’s go . ”

"It will take some time . It may look close, but it is relatively far away . It can’t be helped even though this ship is quite fast . ”

Then another question popped into Kang-jun’s head .

"Do you know where to find an anomaloria?”

"I don't know about them . They are rare and are a long distance from here . ”

Cerato scratched his head with a look of regret . His expression showed that he was telling the truth .

Then he suddenly smiled and said,

"Anyway, it will take a while, so you should see my ship . ”

"See the ship?”

Kang-jun couldn’t see anything other than black sails and a spacious deck . Then Cerato guided Kang-jun to a stairway leading down from the deck .

"If you go down, there is something to see . ”

“Really?”

Kang-jun went down with Cerato .

There was a stunning scenery under the deck .

Bright lights were shining brilliantly .

There was a table full of drinks and alcohol that were as colourful as jewels, a variety of dishes and fruits and several rooms that looked like hotel rooms . There were even huge baths reminiscent of hot springs .

The one thing in common was that there were half-naked beauties all over the place . They played the harp, danced and sang .

"What is this?”

"Kuhuhu, one of my assets is a Shelter of Pleasure . I usually spend time here unless I need to fight . ”

"These females?”

"They are demons who are maids in my household . I gathered them with much difficulty while traveling the dimensions . Rather than fighting, they have excellent abilities in singing, dancing, cooking and pleasing a man . ”

Demons? They all seemed to have big appetites .

‘A resting place for a demon king . ’

Just like the name implied, it was a place for pleasure .

There were hundreds of beautiful female demons .

Even in ancient times, emperors could choose between hundreds of females, so it wasn’t strange for a demon king to be like this .

Cerato grinned with a proud expression .

"Kuhuhu, please enjoy this Shelter of Pleasure . Lord can take any demon that you like . This is my sincerity . ”

"Thanks for your sincerity, but there is no need . ”

Kang-jun climbed back onto the deck . The females were quite beautiful, like succubi, but Kang-jun didn’t think there was anything strange about not wanting them .

He had just come out to the dimensional system, so he couldn’t spend the time rolling around with female demons .

Cerato followed after Kang-jun .

In the meantime, the sailing boat had gotten much closer to the small world .

It didn’t seem to be moving very fast, but he could see the speed as he got closer .

Cerato’s sailboat caught up with it very nicely .

Then after a moment . . .

[The new world, Freya Island, has been discovered . ]

[Freya Island is a world without a guardian, so you can enter it . ]

[You have entered Freya Island . ]

The sea of clouds disappeared .

Strictly speaking, rather than the dimensional sea disappearing, it was Cerato’s sailboat that had entered the small-scale world known as Freya Island and the sea had disappeared from sight .

However, the scenery that unfolded then was completely different from the battlefield of Earth Hwanmong .

Purple clouds shone in the blue sky and the sun was shining down .

Below, there was a big island surrounded by an emerald sea that was the size of Jeju Island when viewed from above .

“That is Freya Island? It is quite big for an island . ”

Then Cerato pointed to the island and said,

"That island is the entire world here . ”

"Entire? What about the sea?”

“Other than the sea and the island, there is nothing else . ”

“Hrmm . ”

So, it was like that . Outside of the coast of the island, the sea disappeared like a mirage .

'This is a very unusual place . ’

It wasn’t a place that could be understood using the common sense of Earth .

It was just like how the common sense didn’t apply to Hwanmong or the big dimensions .

So, Kang-jun simply accepted it .

It was now familiar to accept bizarre things was they were .

Frankly, Kang-jun had the ability to suppress a demon king with one finger, so there was no need to make a fuss about things like this .

When he came down to the island, he felt a strong vitality from the fresh air .

The island had a few lakes and it seemed like half of the island was made of water .

There were various rock cliffs and all types of wonderful plants .

They were plants that couldn’t be seen on Earth . Should he create a house here?

Then an unusual message appeared in front of him .

[Freya Island is a newly created small-scale world rich in mana and vitality . ]

[As a supreme sovereign, you can build a base here . ]

[Once the base is built, Freya Island will become your territory and will connect with your other bases through a portal . ]

[Are you sure you want to build a base?]

[One Dimensional Piece will be consumed . ]

“What is this? I can build a base here?”

Kang-jun asked and Cerato nodded .

"It's a special ability that only sovereigns have . Once you build the base, it will be linked to Earth Hwanmong and reinforcements can be sent through a portal in case of an emergency . ”

"Do I need to bother building a base here?”

It was just like living on an empty island .

Sometimes, he would like to rest and enjoy the scenery, but that wasn’t worth consuming a rare Dimensional Piece .

Then Cerato said,

"Still, there is no guarantee that you will find another early world like this . Most of the small worlds are old and have owners . ”

“Hrmm . ”

"It is always useful to build a base . In particular, there aren’t many places with such a strong vitality . ”

Kang-jun was somewhat convinced by Cerato’s words . Anyway, Dimensional Pieces were still available, so he decided to set up a base as a test .

‘Yes! Construct . ’

[A base is being built on Freya Island . ]

[The base on Freya Island has been completed . ]

The base was completed in the blink of an eye .

A protective circle approximately 100 metres in radius was created with a portal in the centre .

Chuoot!

After the portal was created, someone popped out of it .

It was his military adviser Keirun .

“Lord!”

"Keirun, why did you come?”

"Haha, this is a new base, so how can I not come? I was just about to report that I built the Lucky Tower on the Delta building . However, where is this place?”

Keirun had never left his Hwanmong, so he didn’t know what a small world was .

Kang-jun explained briefly and introduced Cerato who was next to him .

"I will introduce the both of you . This is my military adviser, Keirun, and this is the demon king, Cerato . "

Keirun’s eyes widened after hearing a demon king had joined Kang-jun’s household . Then he said with a laugh,

"Welcome to Lord’s household . I am the military adviser, Keirun . ”

“Demon King Cerato . ”

Cerato nodded and gave a short reply . He had no interest in anyone except his own lord, Kang-jun .

Keirun made an awkward expression, but he didn’t mind . This was always the reaction when someone first joined . However, eventually, they would become familiar with each other .

He gazed towards Kang-jun and said,

"Then I will build a base warehouse and various defense facilities here . It would also be nice to send troops occasionally . ”

"Do that . I have some concerns about how to use this place . ”

"I'll worry about that part . "

Keirun was fascinated by the place called Freya Island . His intuition as an advanced military adviser convinced him that this was an important place .

Chuuot!

It was at that moment . . .

Suddenly, there was a flash of blue light from Kang-jun’s wings and that light turned into a woman .

It was the water spirit queen, Aquana .

In the past, she had hazy blue skin, but now, there was a mysterious blue .

Her two eyes glowed as she took in the beautiful view .

"Yawn, I slept well . "

She stretched and breathed in the air with a pleasant smile, like she was enjoying the environment .

She looked over at Kang-jun . Looking at Kang-jun, her gaze was more gentle than before . There was also some awe .

Perhaps it was the effect of Kang-jun’s charisma going up .

“Sovereign Lucan, I regained some strength thanks to you . I really appreciate it . ”

"I am glad that you regained some power . ”

"In the meantime, I have been thinking about your offer while sleeping . ”

She was referring to Kang-jun’s proposal to join his household . Her eyes gleamed mysteriously .

"It doesn’t fit my personality to join someone else’s household, but I think it is okay if it is Lucan . ”

Kang-jun was delighted .

"Does that mean you will join my household?”

"If you give me this place, I will join your household . ”

"Can I ask why you want this place?”

Aquana replied with expectation in her eyes,

"The mana and health are overflowing, so this is a good place for spirits to be born . If you allow me to, I will make this a world of spirits . ”

“Okay, I will allow it . ”

Kang-jun nodded easily .
