Chapter 110: Break Through the Limit (3)

[Your level has risen.]

[Your level has risen.]

[Your level has risen.]

He gained three levels to reach level 68.

He would also gain one more level from the mission.

[Mission 18 has been accomplished.]

[As a reward, enough experience will be given to increase your level.]

[25,000 nodes have been given as compensation.]

[180 large moonstones have been given as compensation.]

He got rid of an advanced lord in only one move!

In fact, his level was so high that it didn’t affect his attack power.

Still, increased stats had minor influences, so he would raise his level steadily.

If he kept raising it, he wouldn’t be able to ignore it.

Meanwhile, the dark merman lord dropped items.

[16,237 nodes have been gained.]

[103 small moonstones have been acquired.]

[38 large moonstones have been acquired.]

[You have earned 700 red moon achievement points.]

[45 Essence of Darkness have been acquired.]

[The dark merman lord’s golden treasure box has been acquired.]

[The dark merman lord’s golden treasure box has been acquired.]

Nodes and moonstones came out in large quantities.

‘Nodes are superfluous.’

It wasn’t an exaggeration; nodes were really redundant.

There were already hundreds of thousands of nodes at his headquarters.

The achievement rewards had greatly increased the taxes in his territories and there were also the taxes from Lucan’s base.

20% of the nodes acquired from combat nearby belonged to Kang-jun.

So, to Kang-jun, the 16,237 nodes gained from the dark merman lord were just a pittance.

Rather, he was excited to see the golden treasure boxes.

‘Two golden treasure boxes! Shall I open them?’

The boxes were floating in front of Kang-jun, so he opened them quickly.

[Aok Key (Legend) has been acquired.]

[The Dark Merman Lord’s Heart (Legend) has been acquired.]

‘Oh!’

An Aok Key that had three uses and the heart of a lord...

It was a pretty good profit.

[Dark Merman Lord’s Heart]

-Rating: Legend

-Can enhance the defense of an armour

-When equipped on armour, magic defense will increase significantly.

‘Magic defense? Well, it is better than nothing.’

Kang-jun immediately mounted the heart on the Ghoul Lord’s Heavy Armour.

He could scatter a considerable amount of magic, but it wouldn’t hurt to strengthen his armour.

On the other hand, Binhaim was shocked to see that Kang-jun had taken out the dark merman lord so easily.

‘That is impossible!’

Of course, it wasn’t difficult for 1st Commander Binhaim to take care of the dark merman lord.

However, it was hard to say if he could kill it as quickly as Kang-jun.

Especially since, among the Second Demon King’s advanced lords, the dark merman had been a fairly strong one.

'Lucan has gained great enlightenment. It is like I am looking at Rainkar.'

He had a sullen expression on his face.

He was impressed by the fact that Kang-jun had appeared in the situation where their allies were being pressured. However, he couldn’t help feeling bitter that there was another person like this in Earth Hwanmong.

‘It has been determined.’

He couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable at the thought of not being Kang-jun’s rival. Still, his gaze became soft as he looked at Kang-jun.

There was a little bit of jealousy but there was more relief.

Kang-jun’s awakening was a very encouraging thing for Earth Hwanmong.

He expected that Lucan would still have an ability comparable to Rainkar.

If that was the case, a pirata similar to the Second Demon King Colladikus wouldn’t be able to overcome Earth Hwanmong. No, they would be able to repel the enemy without any difficulty.

‘Rainkar is a very self-righteous person. I haven’t been able to check but I hope Lucan is similar.’

In the meantime, Kang-jun was destroying the dark mermen.

[73 chaos power has been acquired.]

[23 chaos power has been acquired.]

[89 chaos power has been acquired.]

He used the Will of Strengthening after the Wings of Chaos reached Stage 7.

He gained experience from normal monsters, but he thought it was an insignificant amount.

The unusual thing was that the amount of chaos power coming from the monsters wasn’t proportional to experience.

The amount of incoming chaos power also varied among monsters of the same type.

[373 chaos power has been acquired.]

[19 chaos power has been acquired.]

[43 chaos power has been acquired.]

Sometimes, more than 10 times the normal amount of chaos power would come in.

He extended the Will of Strengthening to a nearby skeleton lord.

It was a lower level lord monster.

If it was according to experience, then it would give a few hundred times more than normal monsters.

[1,021 chaos power has been acquired.]

However, the amount was less than he thought.

Then it would be better to receive experience.

He would receive experience from lord level monsters and chaos power from general mobs.

He had come to that conclusion.

Of course, apart from chaos power and experience, red moon achievement points kept on coming in every time the monsters were destroyed.

One point was normal but the lower grade lords gave a few hundred points. After taking care of the mermen and the nearby skeletons, he had 4,209 achievement points.

Additionally, the skeleton lord dropped two golden treasure boxes, a legend ranked heavy armour and a legend ranked sword.

[Skeleton Lord’s Heavy Armour]

-Rating: Legend

-An armour that contains the power of the skeleton lord and significantly increases physical and magic defense.

-When the Skeleton Lord’s Sword is also equipped, the defense will increase further.

[Skeleton Lord’s Sword]

-Rating: Legend

-The sword that contains the power of the skeleton lord is very excellent.

-When used with the Skeleton Lord’s Heavy Armour, the attack power of the sword will increase.

A grey sword and heavy armour emerged.

Although it seemed dull, the legend grade equipment were still usable.

Furthermore, these two were set items.

If he wore both at the same time, his defense and attack power would increase.

'That's great. I’d better put them on my clone.

He summoned the clone and gave him the equipment.

As Kang-jun became stronger, his clone did as well.

With the legend grade set, the clone wouldn’t be pushed when going against advanced lords.

It was unfortunate that the clone couldn’t use the wings’ abilities.

It was possible for the clone to fly but only Kang-jun could use Will of Strengthening.

It was the same for Will of Survival and Will of Attack.

Therefore, Kang-jun ordered his clone to hunt normal monsters near Lucan’s base.

It would be helpful for his allies and Kang-jun to obtain japtem, nodes and achievement points.

[You have earned one red moon achievement point.]

[One Essence of Darkness has been acquired.]

[One small moonstone has been acquired.]

[34 nodes have been gained.]

The clone hunted monsters according to Kang-jun’s order.

‘It is easy to auto hunt now.’

Kang-jun sought other targets with a warm expression.

After removing the threats near Lucan’s base, he decided to seek only advanced lords from now on.

Then Kang-jun saw some familiar people.

The sovereigns Andras, Agnus, Damas and Fade.

The sovereigns ranked second to fifth were fighting fiercely against big lizardmen.

There was the dark lizardman lord!

He was lower ranked but a little stronger than the ghoul lord and ratian lord.

“Kikikik! Take this!"

Hwing hwing hwing!Papapak!

Andras used his shield to defend against the dark lizardman lord that was wielding a large spear.

"Ugh!"

Andras cried out urgently.

"What are you doing? Go and attack him. There is a limit to how long I can endure.”

"I’m going now.”

"I am going too, so hold on a little longer.”

Damas moved like a shadow to the rare of the dark lizardman lord and wielded his two swords.

Chwack!Chwaack!

Blood spurted from the back of the dark lizardman lord.

Fade also struck the side of the dark lizardman lord.

Kwarurung!Jijijik!

The dark lizardman lord frowned in pain from the attacks.

"Kuooh! You dare!”

He turned toward Fade and wielded his spear.

Andras cried out urgently,

"Huhu, this smelly lizard, where are you looking?”

The dark lizardman lord, who was able to attack Fade, looked at Andras again with a frown.

"Kuooh! What? I'm going to kill you."

It wasn’t a big deal but the dark lizardman lord was strangely enraged. He didn’t care about the others and only wanted to kill Andras.

It was due to the Taunt skill that Andras learnt as his level rose.

He focused the enemy’s hostility on himself.

He thought it was a worthless skill when he first received it.

However, that idea changed once he entered the Bloody Battlefield.

It was because the ability was very good when hunting in a party.

He specialized in defense rather than offense. Therefore, he provoked the enemy and focused on defense. Meanwhile, Damas and Fade would attack the enemy with confidence.

Additionally, Agnus used powerful attack magic and restored Andras’ health in a timely manner.

In a game, Andras would be the tank, Agnus the healer while Damas and Fade were the damage dealers. As a magician, Agnus served as a healer as well as a damage dealer.

Thus, the four of them could fight lord level monsters that they never dreamt about facing alone.

“Kiiii! You dare disrespect the lord!”

“Kukaka! Kill the humans!”

However, dozens of dark lizardmen were flocking towards them, so they were cornered.

Hwaruru!Kwaang!

Agnus used a wide area fire magic in urgency but only three or four of them collapsed.

The rest of the lizardmen cried out angrily,

"Kill that magician!”

"Kakakat! Kill the magician!”

Agnus got upset because the dark lizardmen came running like hungry wolves.

Hwik!Hwik!

Agnus fled as the dark lizardmen prepared to throw their spears.

Andras, who was dealing with the dark lizardman lord, panicked.

"T-this!"

“Dammit! Stop sleeping on the job!”

In the case of Andras, if Agnus did not use a recovery spell, it was a big deal.

No matter how he defended with the shield, he had no choice but to take damage from a lord level monster.

Agnus cried out from a distance,

“There will be too much damage. I can’t do it.”

Andras nodded.

“Euh! I guess so. Retreat.’

"Damn! We are ruined because of those guys.”

They flew up reluctantly to avoid the dark lizardman lord.

At that moment...

A person appeared near the dark lizardmen and sliced apart half a dozen of them.

It was a person dressed in grey armour while wielding a grey sword.

Their entire body was a dull grey.

However, he gave off a breathtaking presence.

Even the dark lizardman lord was so surprised that he stepped backwards.

Suuk.

The helmet was taken off and a familiar face appeared before Andras and the others.
