Chapter 109 - Break Through the Limit (2) (1/2)
Flas.h.!.+
It was the flash of light from Heavenly Cut.
Yet it wasn’t the same as any Heavenly Cut that he had seen before.
He had broken through and reached a new level of Heavenly Cut, but that was nothing in comparison to what he saw now.
Supak!
It was an unknown light;
A mysterious light!
It was a light that couldn’t be avoided no matter where Kang-jun ran.
‘What on earth is that?’
In front of that attack, Kang-jun’s attack power, defense and evasion were useless...
And that was the end.
Kang-jun’s body literally melted and turned into smoke, then he reappeared outside the Guardian Hall.
The training was over.
He was in the best physical condition.
The equipment in his inventory had all been repaired and were like new.
However, Kang-jun was still staring blankly as he thought of the attack.
'What was that light?’
It was so powerful that everything he did was futile.
In fact, Kang-jun’s combat power had become dozens of times stronger since entering the Guardian Hall.
His wings had strengthened, his attack power had increased greatly and he gained an enormous amount of health and black magic energy.
However, it was nothing compared to the limits he had pushed past for Heaven’s Blood Sword Style.
As a result, it was able to exert a power beyond his level and stats.
However, it was still nothing before that light.
It was like the moon, that dominated the world at night, losing its light in front of the sun.
Kang-jun was helpless before that mysterious light.
‘That was transcendence.’
It was the state that Rainkar desired.
Kang-jun now understood what Rainkar was talking about.
The difference between being transcendent and the state before that was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Now, Kang-jun knew his words were right. He didn’t know everything but what he knew acknowledged the strength of a transcendent being.
'Anyway, I will reach that level someday.’
Kang-jun had become determined as he walked toward the magic circle.
‘How much time has pa.s.sed?’
It seemed like decades had pa.s.sed in the Guardian Hall, so he had no sense of the flow of time.
Chuuuot!
After returning to the base, he could see that it hadn’t been one night yet.
“Oh! Lord! You've arrived?”
In the meantime, the strong defense wards around the Yugang building had been released.
Keirun was startled to see Kang-jun. It was because the atmosphere coming from Kang-jun was incomparable to before.
”It seems like Lord has made a huge amount of progress today.”
Kang-jun smiled.
”It was a lot more than I thought. By the way, what is all this?”
The base had golden treasure boxes and silver boxes as well as all types of weapons, armour and potions piled up.
Keirun grinned.
”I haven’t put it in the warehouse because I wanted to show Lord.”
“Something must have happened today.”
”Yes, I didn’t contact Lord because I knew you entered the Guardian Hall and I didn’t want to interfere.”
Keirun gave a short summary of what happened today.
Kang-jun nodded with a bitter expression after hearing that Hardis and Zenith had joined the Second Demon King and died.
”They had stupid thoughts.”
Honestly, Kang-jun had no intention of hurting them.
Recently, he had even extended his hand to them.
He had said that he wouldn’t become hostile toward any sovereign that made a deal with him over moonstones.
It was because, just like Rainkar had said, it was meaningless to kill sovereigns to increase his power...
Especially now.
He was looking at the realm of transcendence, so he didn’t have to be afraid of any of the sovereigns on Earth Hwanmong.
No one had forced them to make such a choice. They had fallen to the temptation of the Second Demon King due to their own greed.
”Ah, Lord! I obtained these items.”
Driana handed a necklace and earrings to Kang-jun. They were sovereign tokens.
[Earrings of Valor]
-Rating: Only one
-A sign that you are a sovereign in Hwanmong.
-Strength +5 when worn.
-Sovereign t.i.tle: Zenith
[Necklace of Wisdom]
-Rating: Only one
-A sign that you are a sovereign in Hwanmong.
-Intelligence +5 when worn.
-Sovereign t.i.tle: Hardis
In accordance to Hwanmong’s rules, the tokens of the losers. Zenith and Hardis. were given to Kang-jun.
Truth be told, the increase in stats at this level weren’t enough to affect his attack power. Still, it was better not to neglect the small stats.
Kang-jun put them on immediately.
Demonic Dragon’s Ring - Charisma +3
Wyvern Ring - Strength +5
Cloak of the Wind - Agility +5
Excluding what he had gotten today, these were the ones he was already wearing.
As a result, Kang-jun owned five sovereign tokens.
“Thank you for the trouble, Driana. Today, you have distinguished yourself.”
Driana smiled after hearing Kang-jun’s praise.
He continued by encouraging Keirun and the other members of his household. In particular, he didn’t forget to stroke Melinad’s head and praise Heksia who had taken care of the dark mages and advanced lords.
The rewards for the achievements he had gained diligently in the b.l.o.o.d.y Battlefield were certainly worth it.
Thanks to that, Kang-jun’s household members had become stronger.
Furthermore, the loot was substantial.
There were two golden treasure boxes which had been dropped by the advanced lords and two silver boxes from the dark mages.
