Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Power of Destruction (1)

Luminael had blue hair and gave off an endlessly good impression . Even if he didn’t have glittering wings, anyone who saw his face would think he was an angel .

However, that was an old story, of course .

At present, Luminael was staring at Kang-jun with dead eyes .

His skin was all dried up like a land that had experienced a long drought . His face had literally stiffened, so no emotions could be seen .

Kang-jun was amazed to see Luminael looking like that .

He had been punished for 100 years, but he was still an advanced angel .

‘The Punishment of Time must be more severe than I thought . ’

In fact, it was a really terrible punishment for Kang-jun who was a human .

If Kang-jun had been punished, it was obvious that he wouldn’t be able to bear it if he was still an ordinary human .

However, Luminael was an advanced angel, so he thought the effects would be lessened .

Kang-jun had never imagined he would be so broken .

“ . . . Lucan?"

Luminael finally opened his mouth .

“You don’t even recognize my face?”

Luminael made a bizarre expression and laughed wildly . His eyes flashed as he spoke,

"Y-you bastard! You are the real Lucan . Damn scum . ”

“ . . . . . . ”

"Ugh! I’d rather die! This X bastard . I will kill this piece of shit! I will pull you to hell with me . ”

Curses emerged from an angel’s mouth .

Kang-jun stared at Luminael with a bemused expression, then laughed suddenly .

‘That’s right . I forgot . ’

Once Luminael was in the sealed world, he didn’t have the mentality of an advanced angel but merely that of a human .

Even a punishment of one year would be awful .

Yet, he had to spent 100 years in this empty space!

It was natural that Luminael would lose his spirit .

Kang-jun clicked his tongue and said,

"It wouldn’t have been like this if you had listened to my words sooner . It isn’t too late even now . Return Hayun and the others to their original states . ”

Luminael’s body shook like he had been struck by lightning . He recalled the terrible swearing that had just emerged from his mouth and spoke with a miserable expression,

“H-how much time has passed?”

His mind was slowly returning .

"It was only a moment outside but in here, 100 years have passed . ”

“Hah . . . Was that the case?”

Luminael’s expression worsened .

"I hadn’t expected that I would have a mental collapse in just 100 years . ”

"It is because you spent that time as a human, not an angel . If you want, you can experience it one more time . ”

Luminael’s body shook as he pleaded,

“Please . . . ”

He finally moaned and said,

“I have gained a sense of humanity, so I understand it . I know why Lucan is so angry . ”

He looked at Kang-jun with pathetic eyes .

“I am really sorry . I will accept any punishment . ”

After swearing, he had now returned to angel mode . Kang-jun’s cold expression hardened even further .

"I don’t want to hear apologies . Just return Hayun and the others . ”

Luminael sighed again .

"I would do it unconditionally if I could . If I can escape a cursed place like this, there is no reason to hesitate . ”

“Then that means it is impossible?”

"It isn’t impossible . It is possible if you negotiate with the celestial gods, but I don’t know if they will do you a favour . ”

Negotiating with the celestial gods . . .

Luminael said they could do it, but it wouldn’t be easy to convince them .

Kang-jun stared straight at Luminael .

"Do you really mean it? Luminael, you can’t do anything with your power?”

“Unfortunately, that is correct . ”

Luminael nodded without any strength .

It meant that he had no power .

If he was in a company, he would only be a low-ranking employee .

The condition that Kang-jun wanted needed to be judged by the executives .

He thought an advanced angel was great, but they didn’t have as much authority as he had originally thought .

If so, he needed to add more kindling .

Kang-jun was silent for a while before speaking .

“Then you can’t get out of here . Wait here until the negotiation with the Celestial World is over . However, I will no longer give you the Punishment of Time . ”

Kang-jun waved his hand as he spoke .

At that moment, the empty space turned into a lush forest . There was a humble hut in the middle . Trees grew densely and there was a small lake .

It was an ordinary forest scenery .

“Ohh!”

Luminael shouted excitedly . It was frustrating to remain trapped, but a forest was a million times better than empty space .

Furthermore, it might be sloppy, but there was a hut . There was also a lake next to it .

Kang-jun stared at Luminael grimly .

“Whether you leave or not depends on the celestial gods . If they are wise, you can exit sooner . ”

“Thank you for the consideration, Lucan . ”

Luminael knew that Kang-jun wouldn’t release him while the negotiation with the celestial gods was still ongoing . He was grateful for this much consideration as he knew Kang-jun could make a very rough environment for him to suffer in .

Kang-jun then emerged from the sealed world and was troubled for a moment .

If he couldn’t regain Hayun and the others with Luminael’s power, then it was going to be harder than he had thought .

He didn’t know if the celestial gods would allow it so easily .

‘But they won’t just discard an advanced angel . ’

Just based on his combat power, Luminael was a talented person . Losing Luminael would be a great loss to the Celestial World .

However, if they weren’t idiots, they wouldn’t give up Hayun and the others just for Luminael .

Thus, Kang-jun had to convince the Celestial World in the negotiation .

He shouldn’t overdo it .

However, he needed to be in a favourable position for the negotiation .

He should be the one holding the hilt .

Kang-jun’s heart became heavy at the thought that it would take longer than expected to recover Hayun and the others .

It might even be necessary to fight the celestial gods .

If Kang-jun defeated them, he would give them no choice in the negotiation .

They would only negotiate if they couldn’t do anything against Kang-jun .

Could he win against a celestial god?

Luminael had a similar combat power to the demonic god, Heldas, that he had seen previously . This meant the upper ranks must be stronger than the demonic gods .

Originally, it would be impossible for Kang-jun to deal with the celestial gods . However, he was now the guardian of Hwanmong .

Most of the celestial gods’ fraudulent powers wouldn’t work .

Still, Kang-jun decided to raise his combat power in preparation for the battles ahead .

‘I need to create more power jewels . ’

Two power jewels could be attached to the Heaven's Blood Sword . There was already one jewel attached while the other spot was vacant .

Guardian, Destruction and Survival!

Kang-jun intended to make the Destruction Power Jewel to increase his attack power .

‘The Destruction Jewel will raise my attack power . ’

At that moment, the contents of the Book of Power and the related recipe rose up before him .

[The power of destruction will increase your attack power in Hwanmong greatly . In particular, it will deal lethal damage to immortal creatures such as the celestial gods and demonic gods .

[Destruction Power Jewel Recipe]

-Two bottles of blood from demonic gods, one Essence of Power, 100 Dimensional Pieces and 100 synthesized Essence of Chaos .

[The blood of a demonic god can be obtained using a destruction bottle created from a Destruction Piece melted by chaos power . ]

[Only one bottle of blood can be acquired from a demonic god . ]

‘I need the blood of a demonic god . ’

The other materials were in his inventory . The only one he needed was the blood of a demonic god .

[Mission] Obtain the Destruction Power Jewel

[Performance Conditions] Created Destruction Power Jewel 0/1

[Compensation] Three levels, one Chaos Knowledge Script

[Would you like to accept the mission?]

[Yes/No]

‘Oh! Mission!’

Surprisingly, there was a related mission .

If he created the Destruction Power Jewel, he could gain three levels as well as another Chaos Knowledge Script!

‘Enormous rewards . ’

Kang-jun’s eyes widened with surprise .

He had been feeling regret that he hadn’t gotten any experience from sealing Luminael .

If he didn’t kill them, he couldn’t get experience . So, sealing advanced angels wasn’t much use in this area .

This was why it wasn’t good to fight the gods .

Winning wasn’t worth it .

However, it was a different story if there was a mission .

Of course, if he wanted to create the Destruction Power Jewel, he needed to fight two demonic gods and obtain their blood .

However, this wouldn’t be too difficult for Kang-jun .

‘Yes! I accept . ’

[The mission was accepted . ]

[Create a Destruction Power Jewel to complete the mission . ]

‘I don’t know when a demonic god will appear, so let’s make a destruction bottle quickly . ’

He needed a Destruction Piece to create the bottle . The last time, he had consumed all the Destruction Pieces to make the Sealing Jewel, so he didn’t have any left .

‘It is better to keep a bunch of Destruction Pieces . ’

Kang-jun moved to the dark space directly .

He swept away all the halls he saw .

The transcendents fighting in front of each Hall of Destruction were stunned as the creatures suddenly disappeared .

However, they thought there was merely an anomaly in the Hall of Destruction . They never imagined that Kang-jun had appeared and destroyed the creatures .

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Halls of Destruction were broken and Kang-jun acquired 32,972 Destruction Pieces .

‘This should be enough . ’

For the moment, there weren’t anymore Destruction Pieces in the dark space .

Kang-jun left the dark space and immediately melted a Destruction Piece with chaos power .

Chu chu chu .

The Destruction Piece was melted and a piece of dough the size of a nail emerged .

'Hundreds of Destruction Pieces are needed to create one bottle . ’

The size for the bottle was floating in front of Kang-jun like a hologram .

In order to make a bottle of that size, Kang-jun had to melt the Destruction Pieces and shape the dough .

He finally made one .

It was transparent, just like ordinary glass .

All he needed to do now was add the blood of a demonic god .

Chu chu chu chu .

Kang-jun continued melting Destruction Pieces and another bottle was soon finished .

He completed the preparations by making two bottles to contain the demonic gods’ blood .

"I wish that two demonic gods would appear . ”

However, there were no signs of that yet .

Kang-jun would feel it immediately if a demonic god entered Pavalia Station .

‘When will they come?’

He didn’t know where they were, so he had to wait for the demonic gods to come .

However, he couldn’t just wait patiently .

Kang-jun decided to make the materials for the other power jewels in the meantime . He would need them someday anyway .
