Chapter 133 - Anomalous Phoenix (2) (1/2)
Kang-jun asked suddenly,
”I was wondering about one thing. The two of you are at war with each other, but I don’t see it.”
Shakan and Keljark looked surprised like it was an unexpected question. Shakan nodded and said,
”It is true that we are in some type of war. We have been fighting for a long time. However, the war is different from what you think.”
”Different?”
“If I had to put it in an easy to understand way, we are just enjoying a game.”
“A game?”
”It is a game where we build bases and destroy the opponent’s base. We don’t do much direct fighting, so we have a type of friends.h.i.+p.”
Kang-jun was stunned. Then they were just enjoying a type of territory game over small worlds?
It was the same as a real-time combat simulation game.
‘These d.a.m.n people! It is really scary because it makes no sense.’
These people who reached transcendence were playing such a joke against those who lived in the small worlds?
Kang-jun recalled the despair of his lover, Aquana, when she had been released from the Aok prison.
It had been carried out by the self-proclaimed Top Demon King Colladikus, but technically speaking, the two transcendents were behind the war.
The great battle between the spirit worlds and demon worlds!
Kang-jun had thought there was a big reason behind it.
Yet there was no special justification and it came from a game between the two transcendents.
How foolish was that?
Aquana was just one of the many victims.
How many, apart from her, had disappeared as sacrifices of this game?
”s.h.i.+t! The two of you aren’t worth leaving alive.”
Even though Kang-jun was also a transcendent, he had been thinking of leaving them alone.
He gained the rare anomalous phoenix but couldn’t risk a mistake that might flip the situation.
Being a transcendent didn’t mean absolute victory.
He couldn’t guess how much the demon king and dragon had trained until they became transcendent.
He wasn’t willing to kill these transcendents.
However, Kang-jun couldn’t forgive them the moment he heard that they were playing a game with the small worlds.
The game had lasted thousands of years and hearing the word ‘friends.h.i.+p’ provoked his rage even further.
There were other things for friends to do, so why a war?
Who was going to release those who had died?
The answer was to kill them.
Chu chu chu chu.
Kang-jun immediately sealed off the surrounding area.
This was a new type of battlefield.
In the meantime, a question would pop up asking if he wanted to create it. Now, he could create the field using his will.
A dimensional field!
Unless Kang-jun released it himself, they absolutely couldn’t escape.
It wouldn’t happen unless they killed Kang-jun and Kang-jun intended to kill them first.
”It would be better to throw away any ideas of survival.”
An eerie will sprang out from his eyes.
”W-wait a minute!”
Shakan and Keljark panicked as they were suddenly locked in the ward Kang-jun created.
Now, they had to choose between being killed by him or fighting and dying anyway.
However, they already had no intentions of fighting with Kang-jun. Shakan hurriedly asked,
”Why do you want to kill us?”
Kang-jun replied coldly,
“Are you asking because you truly don’t know? Driving the whole dimensional system into war without any justification! Is that cause for your deaths?”
Keljark looked at Kang-jun like she was unhappy with something.
”You're misunderstanding something. We have never been directly involved with the war. We just stayed behind those who wanted to fight. It is true that we enjoyed antic.i.p.ating the results.”
Shakan nodded immediately.
”Keljark’s words are correct. And we restrained those on our sides. Otherwise, a bigger war would have occurred. Without us, the Pavalia Station might have been ruined by the war between small worlds.”
Kang-jun just snorted.
”Don't talk nonsense. For the sake of your game, you herded the small worlds into a war but prevented a big war. Do you expect me to believe that?”
Keljark nodded.
”You have to believe it. It is the truth.”
”If you want an excuse, it should be something more plausible. Keljark! A demon king who loves slaughter and destruction, like you, tried to stop a big war? That doesn’t make sense.”
Keljark shrugged.
”I used to do terrible things when I was a demon king, but after becoming transcendent, trivial things like slaughter and destruction disappeared. Rather, I am trying to prevent the demon kings from causing bigger accidents.”
“Then what about Colladikus? Earth Hwanmong was in a crisis because of him.”
Keljark then looked embarra.s.sed.
“That couldn’t be helped. It is a common occurrence because I have many demon kings under me, not just Colladikus, and frankly, I’ve turned a blind eye to some demon kings.”
Basically, she didn’t care if Earth Hwanmong was destroyed by the plundering of a demon king.
“Is that an excuse?”
Once Kang-jun’s expression became ice cold, Keljark lamented,
”Anyway, I have nothing else to say about it. Obviously you think that I am an evil being.”
She immediately continued,
”But from now on, I will thoroughly prevent the demon kings from going near Earth Hwanmong. I will also give Colladikus to you, so will that be enough to stop your anger?”
