Dimensional Sovereign

She didn’t seem to care if Kang-jun would leave.

So, Kang-jun felt somewhat greedy toward the woman.

Of course, he was curious.

At the first glance, the woman didn’t look ordinary.

Was she close to transcendence?

He could tell just by the look in the opponent’s eyes.

He could guess the competency of his opponent.

The woman had lost all her power, but Kang-jun guessed that she would have the same attack power as Kadiana if her condition recovered.

In other words, the woman was a top commander class combatant.

However, she wasn’t a demon.

So, he wondered about the identity of the woman.

Jebeok jebeok.

Kang-jun walked toward the woman stuck to the wall.

The woman then opened her eyes and looked at Kang-jun. She stared through hooded eyes.

“Bah! You can torture and insult me like Colladikus did. It is no use. No matter what you do, I will never give in.”

"Don’t worry. I’m not going to torture you.”

Kang-jun grabbed a nail stuck in the woman’s right arm.

Buuuuong!

He tried to pull the nail out but a strong repulsive force could be felt from it. The woman laughed,

"I don’t know what you are doing but it is useless. That nail contains Colladikus’ magic power, so if your ability doesn’t match..."

However, the woman’s eyes suddenly widened as she stared at Kang-jun.

She had a disbelieving expression on her face.

The nail in Kang-jun’s hand turned to black smoke and scattered.

Sususu.

He continued with the nail in the left arm that also turned into smoke.

As soon as the woman’s upper body slumped, Kang-jun reached out and supported her.

Then the nails in both thighs turned to smoke and Kang-jun laid her carefully on the floor.

He also picked up her body parts on the floor.

’How unusual. They didn’t decay even when separated from the body.’

Colladikus wouldn’t have cared about that.

The woman’s body must have a special ability.

Moreover, it was very strange to touch. When he touched her body, it was as soft as touching water.

Her skin felt like he was digging his hand into water, so it was very unusual.

It meant that the woman was a species other than human.

They were demons that existed in a shadow state, so it was nothing unique.

Chuuot!

Furthermore, once each body part was held to the original position, a blue light shone and it attached into its original position.

“Ah.”

Once the limbs returned to normal, the woman made an astonished expression.

She stood up painfully and looked at Kang-jun.

"Who are you?"

“I am Earth Hwanmong Defense Army’s 7th Commander.”

“Earth Hwanmong? A sovereign?”

"I found this Aok while taking a break from the war with the Second Demon King. I don’t know who you are, but if you swear loyalty to me, I will give you a chance to fight against the Second Demon King and get revenge.”

Then the woman laughed coldly.

"I’m sorry but I won’t surrender to anyone. Thus, I can’t join your household. If you are here because of that, then leave me alone.”

Her determination was still steadfast.

It was why she didn’t succumb to Colladikus after so long.

Kang-jun said,

“Okay. Then I won’t force you. However, I can’t release you without knowing who you are.”

There was no guarantee that she wouldn’t become an enemy. The woman said with a grim expression,

“Right now, I have lost all my abilities, but I am a spirit ruler.”

“Spirit ruler?”

“Yes. The water spirit ruler, Aquana.”

Kang-jun’s eyes widened.

He felt some type of force from her, so he had wondered if she was a demon king, but she was actually a spirit ruler.

He had heard about it from Keirun.

It was said that the spirit rulers had the same abilities as a demon ruler.

"The water spirit ruler. That is why you have such a strange body. By the way, how did Colladikus catch you?”

Aquana seemed surprised that Kang-jun knew about spirit rulers.

However, she recalled how Kang-jun had pulled out the nails containing Colladikus’ magic power.

He had sufficient capabilities.

She gazed at Kang-jun and suddenly said,

"I can’t tell you everything in detail, but right now, there is a huge war going on in the dimensional worlds. I was defeated in a war against Colladikus and captured as his prisoner. If you release me, I will never forget your grace. Not only me, but my friends will consider you an eternal friend.”

She was asking for release? It didn’t seem to be a threat.

Aquana was actually asking with an awkward facial expression.

However, her eyes were extremely serious.

Kang-jun felt her sincerity and nodded.

“Okay. I’ll release you, so don’t pretend to forget it later on.”

Aquana made a surprised expression.

She had asked but honestly, she hadn’t expected Kang-jun to listen.

Yet he had just accepted it.

"Are you serious? But I can’t repay you right now.”

"I know, so go ahead.”

Kang-jun pointed to the Aok door and Aquana’s complexion brightened.

“Thank you. I will repay you someday.”

However, she stiffened as she arrived at the door.

The purple clouds outside the door could be seen clearly.

“T-this place...”

"Why aren’t you going out?”

“If I go out now, I will die. I’ve lost my power and won’t be able to tolerate the dimensional power.”

Aquana said with a defeated expression. Then she glanced over at Kang-jun.

"I hope you don’t mind but can I request one more thing?"

“What is it?”

"I’d like to rest by your side if you would let me.”

“What does that mean?"

"Your wings are a great haven for spirits like me to rest. It is only until my spiritual powers are restored.”

It was the first time Kang-jun had heard about this. His wings had such an amazing feature.

Aquana said with a sigh,

"Once I get inside, I will be reluctant to get out but it can’t be helped. Please allow me to rest a little bit. I will repay the favour.”

Her eyes were eager. He didn’t know how many times she had said she would pay back the favour. Kang-jun nodded.

"I will allow it.”

“Thank you, Sovereign Lucan.”

Aquana smiled brightly at Kang-jun, then she entered Kang-jun’s wings.

(It is nice and warm. I’m going to sleep a bit.)

Then she stopped speaking.

Kang-jun exited the Aok.

‘What happened to rent?’

Kadiana’s death meant it was a very favourable situation for his allies.

Chuoot!

It was at that moment... There was a gust of wind as something popped out of the sea of clouds.

It was a youth whose whole body was covered with red light!

His eyes were heated as he looked at Kang-jun.

"Here you are. You killed Kadiana?”

His voice, which shook the heavens and earth, was full of anger.

Kang-jun recognized him at once.

‘Second Demon King!’

It was the Second Demon King Colladikus who had been fighting Rainkar.

He was furious about Kadiana’s death and had been looking for Kang-jun.

Kang-jun laughed.

"Do you need to ask after seeing what I am wearing?”

It was an armour made of red scales, the proof that Kang-jun had defeated Kadiana.

Her magic sword also appeared in Kang-jun’s hand.

Then Colladikus’ eyes flashed.

"Kukukuk! Kyakyakyakyak!”

He burst out laughing.

Then a red light emerged from his hands.

The intense light stained the sea of clouds red.

However, Kang-jun sensed that something irreversible would happen the moment the red light touched him.

He hurriedly moved the Leon Magic Sword to block it.

The red light rushing toward him split in half.

Kwaang!

Kang-jun was pushed back by the explosion it caused.

‘Ugh! As expected from the Second Demon King. He is different from the other demon kings.’

However, Kang-jun almost completely prevented the Second Demon King’s attack. He lost approximately 1,000 health points but that was it.

At that moment, Colladikus stared at Kang-jun with a disbelieving expression. He had never imagined that Kang-jun would stop his blow.

Then something even more surprising occurred.

Flash!

A flash of light emerged from Kang-jun’s sword and flew towards Colladikus.

Flash! Flash!

It soon changed to dozens of flashes in the blink of an eye.

The flashes moved through space, making it impossible for Colladikus to block all of them.

Susususu.

However, Colladikus swung his hand and scattered them. Then he grumbled,

“Kyakyakyakyak! What is this? Is there another monster like Rainkar in Earth Hwanmong? But I will surely kill you today.”

This time, a yellow spherical light emerged from his hand and rushed toward Kang-jun.

Swiik!

And it exploded!

Kwaaaaang!

As the explosion affected a vast radius, it was like a nuclear bomb had gone off. However, Kang-jun had already moved out of the radius of the attack.

Flash! Flash flash flash!

A comparable flash of light flew toward Colladikus.

Colladikus frowned at the glare that filled the sky.

“You fool. I am impervious to attacks like these.”

He disappeared from his spot and appeared in front of Kang-jun.

“Stop!”

It was an attack that didn’t leave any room for Kang-jun to evade.

Chwaaaak!

However, blood sprang from Colladikus’ chest instead. Kang-jun waved his sword at that spot like he had been waiting for it.

"Kuook!”

Colladikus frowned as he raised a hand. A brilliant light stretched out from his hand and struck Kang-jun.

Bam bam!

“Ugh!”

Kang-jun blocked it with his sword but was pushed back.

A cry emerged from his mouth. It was blocked with his sword, but he still received a shock because the attack was from a close distance.

At that moment, someone burst through the sea of clouds.

It was Rainkar.

He showed up at that exact moment Kang-jun and Colladikus struck each other.

He was surprised to see that Kang-jun was fighting at almost the same level as Colladikus.

In fact, Colladikus had pretended to flee while losing to Rainkar.

He ordered the retreat of his entire army and after deceiving Rainkar that he was retreating, he climbed through the sea of clouds and found Kang-jun.

Rainkar had noticed this belatedly and followed him but Kang-jun and Colladikus were already fighting.

He saw the scene of Kang-jun’s sword slicing Colladikus’ chest, followed by Colladikus counterattack.

However, Rainkar was only amazed for a moment before rushing toward Colladikus.

“Colladikus! You look very good.”

"Dammit!"

Colladikus frowned at Rainkar’s appearance and started to flee to the other side of the dimensional sea.

The injury that Kang-jun gave him disappeared.

Rainkar and Kang-jun’s eyes met.

Kang-jun nodded. He didn’t need to be told.

Now was a great opportunity to get rid of the Second Demon King Colladikus! Rainkar and Kang-jun quickly chased Colladikus.

Pak - Pak.

He used a method of flight where he skipped space.

Rainkar was flying using the same method that Kang-jun was using but Kang-jun’s speed wasn’t that different.
