Chapter 113: Supreme Sovereign (2)
Kang-jun stared at her but she didn’t open her eyes.
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?”
