Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 117: Becoming the Owner of a Trillion Won Building (2)

The next evening, he entered Hwanmong.

Kang-jun was on the 48th floor of the Delta building, not the Yugang building. The military adviser Keirun greeted Kang-jun with an excited expression.

“Lord, congratulations. The red moon has disappeared but Earth Hwanmong is now in Lord’s hands.”

Kang-jun’s heart beat wildly after hearing Keirun’s words.

The monthly rent had been 250,000 won when he lived in a small, cramped goshiwon room.

Then he became a sovereign, struggled to survive and knocked down Jung Kwang-hyeon.

Jung Kwang-hyeon was dragged to hell but then Hardis, Kang-jun’s enemy, attacked the Yugang building with a large army.

At that time, the red moon emerged.

Now, the red moon was gone.

In the meantime, Kang-jun became one of the 12 senior army commanders and the top sovereign of Earth Hwanmong.

Now, he was the absolute sovereign who could command all the sovereigns of Earth Hwanmong.

He couldn’t help feeling relaxed.

Keirun continued with a joyful expression,

“Above all, I am surprised that Lord is strong enough to defeat the Second Demon King. I have a hunch that you will be able to reach the transcendent realm. I have never seen anyone become transcendent in my previous lives.”

Kang-jun smiled.

“I don’t know when but I will definitely become transcendent.”

Then Keirun’s eyes shone as he spoke,

“I’m not sure but Lord may become the dimensional sovereign.”

“Dimensional sovereign? What is that?”

“It is literally the sovereigns that rule the dimensions. Only a transcendent sovereign can be such a sovereign.”

“Why is that a good thing?”

“A dimensional sovereign causes fear to millions of pirata throughout the dimensions. It’s a sovereign with the mysterious power to become stronger after being transcendent.”

Kang-jun was amazed.

“What is the dimensional system? How many worlds exist outside of Earth Hwanong?”

Keirun scratched his head and said,

“I’m sorry but I don’t know much beyond that. I have been on a lot of Hwanmongs but I have never left those Hwanmongs. I couldn’t even dream of it unless I am transcendent or close to transcendent.”

“I understand. My first priority will be to become transcendent.”

“That’s correct. From now on, Lord should concentrate on becoming transcendent while I raise our forces.”

Kang-jun smiled.

“Then I will leave you in charge of the base, Keirun.”

“Leave it to me, Lord. The Delta building will become the strongest fortress in Earth Hwanmong.”

Keirun smiled confidently.

After a while, Kang-jun entered the Earth Hwanmong Defense Army’s headquarters.

It was to meet the senior commanders.

“Hello, Lucan.”

Binhaim’s tone had changed from before. Even a senior commander of the same rank was treating him were reverence now.

That wasn’t all. Madun, Ligas and the other senior commanders all had a very respectful attitude toward Kang-jun.

This was because the rank was thoroughly decided by skill.

It was clear that everyone knew Kang-jun had fought on equal footing with the Second Demon King.

He felt awkward but quickly adapted to it.

By the way, he didn’t see Rainkar anywhere.

“Where is the 12th Commander?”

The Binhaim said with a bitter expression,

“He left.”

“Left?”

“Strictly speaking, everyone is assuming that. He isn’t seen anywhere in Earth Hwanmong.”

At that moment, Kang-jun recalled what Rainkar had said before.

‘After this war, I will leave Earth Hwanmong. If I go into the wider world and compete with stronger people, I will be able to see what I lack and will be one step closer to transcendence.’

That’s right. He had clearly said this to Kang-jun.

He was going out into the wider world.

Where? It was obviously the dimensional system.

‘I won’t say goodbye when I leave. If you don’t see me one day, remember my words from today.’

He had literally disappeared without saying anything.

Although Kang-jun knew Rainkar would disappear like this, he still felt somewhat upset.

He was Kang-jun’s favourite existence in Earth Hwanmong.

He regarded Rainkar as a teacher.

Kang-jun had received a lot of teachings from him.

His last words:

‘Fight many enemies strong enough to threaten your life. That way, I think you can become a transcendent.’

He had given Kang-jun a clear sense of what to do.

The transcendent ability wouldn’t have emerged if he hadn’t been threatened by Klater’s flames.

‘A crisis of death.’

Unfortunately, there was no existence on Earth Hwanmong that could threaten Kang-jun.

If might be possible to fill the gap if he dueled with Rainkar, but he had already left.

In the end, Kang-jun decided that he should leave as well.

‘I have to go out into the dimensional system.’

While Kang-jun was thinking, 1st Commander Binhaim and the others gathered in front of him.

Then Binhaim said,

“Lucan, I heard that the sovereigns have recognized you as the absolute sovereign. I am very pleased that you have prohibited fighting between the sovereigns of Earth Hwanmong.”

Kang-jun smiled.

“It isn’t that great. I just accepted their offer because I don’t want any more sovereigns to be sacrificed.”

Then 2nd Commander Madun said,

“You have become the absolute sovereign and, at the same time, the strongest in the Earth Hwanmong Defense Army. From now on, you will become the commander-in-chief of the defense army.”

3rd Commander Ligas continued,

“Now that the red moon is gone, the defense army will be disbanded and Earth Hwanmong will return to normal. However, if the army needs to be called upon again. we will follow your instructions.”

As a result, Kang-jun had become the leader of all the species on Earth Hwanmong as well as the sovereigns.

The commanders said goodbye to Kang-jun as they left one by one. They were returning to their territories.

After a while, everyone was gone and Kang-jun was alone.

Kang-jun soon moved to the Bloody Battlefield.

It was a niche that allowed entry to Earth Hwanmong as well as the dimensional system.

Colladikus had withdrawn, so there were no longer any threats on the Bloody Battlefield.

Still, he flew to Lucan’s base to have a look but didn’t see any monsters.

‘There isn’t a single Aok.’

He thought he could open them if he saw any Aoks.

Then he suddenly heard Sud’s voice,

(Lord, I succeeded.)

“What?”

(I have manufactured the Miracle Regenerating Medicine. Sadly, I only succeeded once in 10 attempts.

[Miracle Regeneration Medicine]

-Rating: Legend

-Restores all health.

“Oh! Good work.”

Kang-jun was delighted. Although it was only one, he received a Miracle Regeneration Medicine that could restore all his health at once.

“I’ll give you two more hearts of the lower lords, so keep going.”

(Huhu, I understand, Lord. This time, I’ll try to somehow increase the success rate.)

Sud liked it when he was given jobs. It was very fun for him when he was using alchemy.

In the meantime, Kang-jun flew through the sea of clouds to the top of the dimension.

The sea spread out before him. No matter where he looked, he couldn’t see the end.

‘If I move along this sea, will new worlds appear?’

Rainkar had entered the wider world.

It meant that Earth Hwanmong was very narrow.

‘I’ll just look around for today.’

He didn’t intend to go that far as he wouldn’t be able to go back if he got lost.

After flying for a while…

A new message appeared.

[If you move further, you will exit the area of Earth Hwanmong.]

[If you don’t set a warp point here, you may not be able to return to Earth Hwanmong.]

‘Warp point? That’s right. I can use the lutra.’

Kang-jun immediately summoned the lutra that the Black Dragon Law Firm had given to him.

[The lutra has been summoned.]

[The lutra will transform into the most suitable form for traveling through the dimensional sea.]

Along with that message, the lutra transformed into a smooth sailboat.

Another message appeared as soon as Kang-jun stepped on the deck.

[A warp point has not been set for Earth Hwanmong. Are you sure you want to set it up? Yes/No]

[One Dimensional Piece will be consumed.]

‘Yes! Set it up.’

One of the Dimensional Pieces in his inventory disappeared.

[A warp point has been set for Earth Hwanmong.]

[Now, you can warp to this place using the lutra from anywhere in the dimensional system.]

‘Okay. Then what now?’

Now, even if he got lost in the dimensional world, he didn’t have to worry about returning to Earth Hwanmong.

Chwaaaaak!

The lutra headed in the direction that Kang-jun commanded.

Its speed was fast compared to moving with his wings.

[You have left Earth Hwanmong.]

After a while, this message popped up and the scenery around him changed.

Unlike Earth Hwanmong that only had a dark sky, the sea of clouds was still there but shining things, like stars, were seen everywhere.

‘What is this?’

Kang-jun intuitively realized he was in a different dimension. He soon found out that his intuition was correct.

Chwaaaaak!

He moved the lutra.

How far had he gone?

Suddenly, something appeared before Kang-jun’s lutra.

It was a sailboat similar to the lutra, but it was much larger.

“Kukukuku! Stop.”

An eerie voice came from the black sailboat blocking his path. The person standing on the black sailboat looked like a demon king.

It had two horns and the head of a cow. At first glance, he was reminiscent of a minotaur, but the atmosphere coming from him was incomparable.

Looking at his pure brute power, his strength was similar to Kadiana who Kang-jun had just recently defeated.

Kang-jun stopped the lutra and looked at the demon king.

“What are you? Didn’t you see me?”

It was the first time he had entered the dimensional system, so he had intended to just going to look around quietly. However, a demon king had appeared in front of him.

Meanwhile, the devil king, Cerato, felt jumpy.

He was a pirata, a plunderer who explored the dimensional worlds.

Then a small sailing boat appeared in front of him.

However, he felt something was strange.

‘W-what? That guy?’

He saw the intense light shining from Kang-jun’s eyes and felt like something was wrong.

A pirata had to know how to recognize strong enemies.

If he wasn’t a match for the opponent, he had to escape as quickly as possible to survive.

Chwaaaaak!

Cerato’s sailboat turned in order to rush away.

However, Kang-jun had already jumped onto the deck.

Immediately after releasing the summoning of the lutra, he jumped over to Cerato’s sailboat.

“Kuoh! You dare! What are you doing? Surround him.”

Cerato cried out angrily towards his men on the deck and they rushed to surround Kang-jun.

They were advanced lord grade monsters.

Despite the unbearable momentum around them, a cold smile appeared on Kang-jun’s mouth.
