Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 100: Proof of Abilities (3)

"Killing my men! I won’t forgive you.”

Chukakaang!

A red aura emerged from the spear of the centaur lord.

The spear was covered with a blazing fire-like aura!

As a result, his entire body was covered in red light.

Dudududu!

The gaze of the centaur lord, who was rushing towards Kang-jun, was filled with anger.

Kwa kwa kwa kwa!

Surprisingly, the space around him split in both directions.

Kang-jun received the strong impression that he was in front of an incoming train.

'This ignorant strength!’

It would be foolish to face such a thing head on.

However, what was this?

Although Kang-jun was fleeing, the centaur lord narrowed the distance.

No matter which way he moved, the centaur lord aimed at Kang-jun in a straight line.

A large amount of magic power had been consumed to keep attacking the designated target. It was the special move of the centaur lord!

There were only two ways to respond.

One method was to take the attack!

The other one was to keep fleeing and die!

'It can't be helped!’

Kang-jun had no thoughts of dying. The result would be determined by who had the stronger attack and defense.

‘Will to Fight!’

He used Heavenly Cut that had chaos power contained in it.

Kang-jun flew toward the centaur lord while feeling like he was rushing toward a flying missile.

‘Heavenly Cut!’

An intense flash emerged from Kang-jun’s sword. The light around the centaur lord’s spear became thicker.

Kwaang!

The two of them collided.

"Ugh!"

“Keeeok!”

Both Kang-jun and the centaur lord flew backwards.

“Ohh! Shit!”

There was a hole in his armour and blood was pouring out from the hole.

Health: 1720/6350

[Your health has dropped to 30% and Will of Survival has been activated.]

[Your physical and magic defense will increase significantly when Will of Survival is activated.]

'A really ignorant attack.’

If it wasn’t for Will of Survival, a skill he received when Wings of Chaos reached Stage 2, Kang-jun would have been a cold body.

Snap!

Kang-jun reflexively took out an advanced Regeneration Medicine of Darkness and looked ahead.

In the meantime, the centaur lord stood up but he also looked terrible.

His chest was split in half from the chaos power and blood gushed from him.

Hwakak! Hwaaah!

However, the body of the centaur lord was then covered with light and the big wound disappeared without a trace.

What type of resilience was this?

‘How can I kill him like this?’

Kang-jun was dumbfounded. There was no way to kill the centaur lord unless he did it in one strike.

He needed to become stronger by raising his level.

Or maybe he needed to get more powerful equipment or skills.

'Is it still too hard for me?’

If that was the case, the chaos power was consumed unnecessarily.

He might die first.

It would be wise to escape for the next opportunity.

Of course, Kang-jun’s face didn’t reveal any of his troubles.

He stared at the centaur lord with a desire to kill.

At that moment, the centaur lord declared wildly.

“Kuk! Yes, I'll admit that you are strong. Today, I will leave it like this but next time will be different.”

After that, the centaur lord started running away like the wind.

Dududududu!

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Kang-jun’s view.

'What? Escape?'

Kang-jun looked after him with a bemused expression.

Kang-jun had been planning to escape but the centaur lord did it first.

'What is going on?’

It was obvious that the centaur lord’s situation was bad, unlike his seemingly restored appearance.

If not, it didn’t make sense for him to escape.

So, it was very disappointing.

‘I might have won if I was a little bit stronger.’

However, now wasn’t the time for regrets. He decided to open the Aok before there was another enemy.

Snap! Snap!

Kang-jun continued to drink the Regeneration Medicine of Darkness and regained his health.

He could go back to the base and recover using the gem but the Aok might end up moving.

Some Aoks were fixed in one place, but others could move.

[The Aok Key has been used once.]

[The Aok Key has disappeared.]

[The Aok has been opened.]

One of his two Aok Keys disappeared. It was possible to use a key three times, and this was the third time.

‘Surely, it won’t be empty?’

Kang-jun immediately entered the Aok and looked inside.

It was a large closed room.

There was a feeling of emptiness.

Unfortunately, it didn't look like anything was alive.

The floor and walls were covered with unknown pictures and letters.

(Lord, there is nobody in this Aok.)

Sud spoke. Kang-jun had a dispirited expression on his face as he spoke.

"Did they commit suicide again?”

(Maybe they reached the end of their life span.)

“Then it can't be helped. Search to see if there is anything like a Dimensional Piece.”

(There is no such thing. There isn’t even a common Essence of Darkness.)

Sud also showed some disappointment. Kang-jun slowly walked towards the door of the Aok.

"Then it was a complete waste.”

It was at that moment.

(L-Lord! C-can you wait a minute?)

Sud’s voice suddenly trembled for some reason.

“What’s going on?”

(I think I can decipher these characters. It contains very rare alchemy content.)

It must be something special for the alchemist Sud to say that it was rare.

“I’ll wait for you to decipher it.”

(Yes, Lord. Thank you.)

Then Kang-jun’s shadow started moving over the letters.

Of course, that shadow was Sud. Kang-jun allowed him to move to decipher the text.

It was quite difficult as, sometimes, it felt like Sud was pulling his hair out. The shape of the shadow changed, so it was quite funny to watch.

‘It will take some time, so I should rebuild my clone.’

Although it had been smashed by the centaur lord, the attacks of the clones weren’t useless.

Even Kang-jun had found it hard to win against the centaur lord. so it was natural that the clone had broken.

The clone would do well against weak or normal monsters.

He consumed 800 points of chaos power and a new clone was instantly summoned.

“Did you call me?”

The clone appeared with a smile. His condition was neat but the equipment was a mess.

'Fortunately, the equipment didn’t disappear.’

It was the same for the potions left in the inventory. It didn’t matter since equipment was automatically repaired once placed in a warehouse.

In fact, Kang-jun’s heavy armour also needed repair, so he decided to stop by the base before leaving Hwanmong.

"Go back until I call you.”

"I'll do that."

The clone disappeared into his wings.

It was at that time.

[Your household member Sud has deciphered the letters in the Aok and acquired the synthesis alchemy of the ancient demon, Ios.]

[Synthesis Alchemy of the Demon Ios]

-Rating: Legend

-Synthesizing essences had a certain probability to produce different types of essences.

“What is this?”

Kang-jun asked with an absurd expression. Then Sud replied with an inspired voice.

(Lord! This is great luck. I didn’t think that the alchemist, Ios, would leave words behind here.)

"Is the alchemy of the demon, Ios, that great?”

(Lord, Ios’ alchemy is also called chaos alchemy.)

"Chaos alchemy?”

(In fact, creating other types of essences isn’t that great. In addition to having to consume two or more essences to create another one, the probability of failure is very high.)

"Then why did you say it was lucky?”

(This is due to the Essence of Chaos. Every time you combine essences, there is a random chance to get an Essence of Chaos.)

“Essence of Chaos?”

Kang-jun’s eyes widened with surprise.

The Essence of Chaos was so rare that he hadn’t seen it before.

None of the lord level monsters had dropped it.

Even the merchants that came to the Dimensional Shelter didn’t sell it.

Rather, they offered 100 moonstones to buy the Essence of Chaos.

However, it was obtainable as a by-product through alchemy.

"Then using the synthesis alchemy might give me Essence of Chaos.”

Sud scratched his head and said,

(I can’t guarantee that it will emerge even if I do it in bulk. I’ll need some materials to try it once.)

"Tell me what you need.”

(Just save 100 of each type of essences.)

"Won’t your inventory be insufficient?”

(If I turn it into powder, it will only occupy one space, regardless of quantity.)

"Then that isn’t a problem.”

Kang-jun smiled. It was because he had hundreds of each type of essences in the warehouse.

"Is there anything else that you need?”

(No.)

“Okay. Then I will take the essences out of the warehouse.”

Kang-jun laughed happily.

He had thought it was a waste, but Ios’ alchemy was legend grade, so it was actually a jackpot.

‘If the Essence of Chaos can be manufactured in large quantitie, then I can fill the chaos power quickly.’

It wasn’t a skill that Kang-jun acquired but he would still get the benefits.

Sud belonged permanently to Kang-jun’s shadow anyway.

Furthermore, honestly, it would be very painful if he had to do it himself.

He was busy, so it would be a burden if he had to split the time with alchemy as well.

However, Sud was a faithful demon that was crazy about alchemy, so Kang-jun could leave it to him comfortably.

Kang-jun just had to give him the command.

Kang-jun was delighted as he stepped out of the Aok. As soon as he left the door, the Aok dimension disappeared.

‘I’ll have to return the base.’

However, a black energy suddenly entwined around Kang-jun.

Chu chu chu.

Kang-jun was startled.

‘What is this?’

There was no room for resistance. As the black aura that covered his eyes disappeared, the scene around him changed completely.

‘Where is this place?’

It wasn’t the vast grasslands where the centaurs were playing but a huge cave.

Furthermore, there were many undead with bright eyes in front of him.

Death knights, dullahans, ghouls, zombies and skeletons.

At first glance, there were over 100 undead surrounding Kang-jun and in the centre was a woman in black robes.

She had long purple hair and white skin.

It was like looking at a mannequin.

Then she looked at Kang-jun and said bluntly,

“You are Lucan.”
