Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 60



"Have you regained consciousness?”

Heksia got up and frowned as she touched her neck.

"Ugh! That hurts! That bastard bit me.”

She grumbled.

“I nearly died, damn!”

"But would there be a punishment if you died?”

"No punishment. I have some burdens.”

“You don’t have to worry about achievements so what is your burden?”

"It is embarrassing.”

She would be embarrassed. That was her simple reason.

Heksia saw Kang-jun’s dumbfounded expression and said.

"A commander dying and needing to be revived. Do you know how long the sovereigns will make fun of me? Fortunately, I lived thanks to Lucan.”

With those words, she waved her hands. At the moment, 10 potions appeared in front of Kang-jun.

"Take these advanced ones. They aren’t much use for me.”

Kang-jun didn’t refuse. He received 10 advanced potions that could restore 300 health points. Of course, he received so much because she was the commander.

Heksia took out some more advanced potions, drank one and poured the rest on her wounds.

Her body was neatly restored. The bruises and scars disappeared, with her wings regaining that mysterious red light.

Of course, her clothing and hair were still a mess.

Yet that was all cleaned up in a flash.

Her matted hair was instantly arranged when she ran her fingers through it. Her dirty clothes were also cleaned as her hands moved over them.

Heksia returned to her original appearance and smirked like nothing had happened.

"I look like myself now. By the way, where is that ghoul lord?”

“Dead.”

"Don’t tell me that you killed it?”

"Who else is here besides me?”

Kang-jun grinned. Heksia looked amazed.

"No matter how close he was to death, it wouldn’t have been easy with your skills.”

Then she suddenly nodded. She remembered the skill that Kang-jun had used against her clone in the past.

“Yes. It is possible if you use that skill. I am curious. Can I ask for the name of that skill?”

"The skill is called Heavenly Cut.”

Heksia shook her head.

“Heavenly Cut...? This is the first time I’ve heard of it. The skill name isn’t important. Perhaps it is advanced swordsmanship. If not, it wouldn’t have been able to damage my clone.”

"Are advanced skills that great?”

Kang-jun was suddenly curious. In fact, Heavenly Cut came from the Heaven’s Blood Sword Style that was a high class swordsmanship. Heksia nodded.

"Intermediate ranks are many times stronger than low ranks. However, the advanced rank is on another dimension from the intermediate rank. It will be easy for you to reach advanced level as an sovereign.”

"It will be easy?”

“You have the skill Heavenly Cut. It has the ability to make far stronger opponents vigilant against you. The power of the skill will become stronger as you level up. So you can easily go up.”

She continued.

"And at the very top is the high class rank. In terms of supernatural rankings, it is like going to a foreign language high school.”

"Supernatural?”

“Whether it is magic or swordsmanship, a high class rank is the best of the best. Naturally it would be hard enough to obtain. Unless your luck is incredibly good.”

He already had a high class skill. Of course, it wasn’t necessary to tell her that.

Heksia smiled.

"Anyway, your level must have become quite high after killing the ghoul lord.”

"It is thanks to you. I am thankful.”

It wasn’t flattery. If it wasn’t for Heksia then today’s jackpot would have been impossible.

Them Heksia grumbled.

"I’m envious. I want to level up. I don’t know how long it has been since I’ve levelled up.”

How high was her level? Kang-jun wanted to ask.

It was at that moment. Heksia started to desperately look around.

“Strange. I thought one would come out.”

"What are you looking for?”

“The ghoul lord’s golden box!”

"That...!"

"Have you seen it? Eh, that armour?”

Kang-jun felt pained. As she said, the black legendary armour he was wearing came from the ghoul lord’s golden box.

In fact, Kang-jun hadn’t caught the ghoul lord alone.

Strictly speaking, Heksia was the one who did the most so the items in the golden box should be distributed with her.

But he had already used the Ghoul Lord’s Heart to strengthen his skill. He could take it off but it would be with a heavy heart.

‘It is evident that the skill is strong. I can’t give it to her.’

In addition, he had already worn the armour.

Kang-jun said with a somewhat embarrassed look.

"Then I’ll give you some moonstones.”

Heksia laughed as she patted Kang-jun’s shoulder.

“It is okay. This isn’t a big deal for me. Moonstones are quite good but you deserve them for your decisive contribution against the ghoul lord. I just want the heart.”

H-heart? Kang-jun’s eyes widened. Heksia sighed and flopped to the ground.

"The heart didn’t emerge. I’ve killed hundreds of similar guys so far but it has never dropped. It seems like I’m quite unlucky. Why doesn’t the heart come out, dammit!”

She killed hundreds of guys like the ghoul lord?

It was alarming, but the more surprising thing was that no heart had dropped.

’Is it that rare?’

He had expected it to be great due to the legend rating. However, he didn’t know it was so rare. He thought all the ghoul lord bosses dropped the heart.

‘I shouldn’t say anything.’

Kang-jun had no intention of opening his mouth. He couldn’t let her know about the heart.

Looking at Heksia’s current reaction, there was no way of knowing what she might do.

“Oh! Bloody heart! Heart! Why can’t I get a heart?”

Heksia kept on complaining about the heart. Kang-jun felt a slight prick to his conscience and asked.

“Do you need the heart for something?”

"Rather than a necessity, it is just a collectible.”

"Collectible?”

"It can strengthen skills but I have something better.”

“Then why do you want to collect it?”

"It is just a hobby."

"Ah, hobby."

Kang-jun nodded. A hobby. He thought there was a great reason, but it was just a hobby.

A must-have survival item for him was just someone else’s hobby.

’I don’t mind anymore.’

He hadn’t thought about giving it away, but he still wanted to know the reason for Heksia’s desire. He had worried about getting a heart from another boss.

But that disappeared after hearing that she wanted to collect it for a hobby.

At that moment, Heksia looked at Kang-jun and suddenly asked.

"Lucan, are you lucky?”

“Lucky?”

Kang-jun laughed bitterly.

In fact, he tried playing the lottery and only ever won the 5th place prize. He never once picked up money from the side of the road.

Was that all? His parents died early and Kang-jun was crippled after a hit-and-run car accident.

He never got good items when playing games. When hunting in a party, he always got a lower number when rolling the dice for a good item.

If he had to grade his luck, he was set it as the lowest grade.

However, that changed a lot after entering Hwanmong and becoming a sovereign.

He didn’t know if it was because of his good luck stat.

But the atmosphere around Heksia didn’t make it easy to answer. She might suspect that he received the heart.

"I don’t know.”

"You received the Heavenly Cut skill so I think that you are lucky. But I’m not lucky. Bah! This is really an unfair world! I hate lucky people the most.”

Kang-jun just laughed.

"Isn’t being born as a demon or dragon equal to having tremendously good luck? How miserable and unlucky do you think those who are born as orcs, ghouls or slimes are?”

“......”

Heksia was bemused by Kang-jun’s words. Kang-jun said it casually but she had never thought about it before.

"You have really strange ideas.”

“I guess so. Who would want to be born as an orc or slime? They have no luck at all. After they are born, they probably spend a lifetime hoping to be killed.”

"It is very rare but there are some orcs that are stronger than dragons. Among the slimes, there are some who will become strong enough to hit a demon.”

"How many of those guys are there? One in several million?”

"Poop! Indeed. I would commit suicide if I was born as an orc or slime.”

She sent Kang-jun a stern look and sighed. Someone who was born with a golden spoon couldn’t understand a life like his.

"People have to adapt to the life they are born with. I am also like that. Anyway, you were born to a powerful species so that is great luck.”

"I have great luck?”

"An orc or slime would have to do everything they could to survive after being born. But you don’t. You were lucky from birth.”

Heksia was silent for a moment before nodding.

“Thank you. It is a little comforting.”

Then she suddenly approached and kissed him.

A soft tongue moved around his mouth.

What the, this? She suddenly kissed him?

After a while, Heksia withdrew and laughed.

“It is a sign of gratitude. You have saved my life and comforted me.”

Kang-jun nodded because his face was hot.

"That was the meaning? I understand.”

There was no reason to hate being kissed by a beautiful woman like Heksia. It was also a sign of gratitude.

Heksia then whispered.

"I can give you more, but that is for later.”

More? What did she mean?

Heksia went back to her original position.

"Sovereign Lucan, you went through a lot of trouble today. Destroying the Jewel of Darkness and surviving to the end, all the achievements in this war belong to you. Now you will be rewarded.”

Messages immediately appeared.

[The army’s mission has been completed.]

[You have survived until the end.]

[You have earned 30 red moon achievement points.]

[You have destroyed the Jewel of Darkness.]

[You have earned 100 red moon achievement points.]

[You have killed the most ghouls among the survivors.]

[You have earned 80 red moon achievement points.]

This added 210 achievement points, giving Kang-jun a total of 410.

Of course, he could get more achievement points for exchanging moonstones but he kept them in the inventory for now.

[Mission 11 has been accomplished.]

Kang-jun gained more than 300 achievement points so Mission 11 was completed.

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

[4,000 nodes have been given as compensation.]

[30 small moonstones have been given as compensation.]

Thanks to that, his level once again rose by one to Lv26.

The surrounding space started to distort.

[Your time in the world of Hwanmong is over.]

[The door to Hwanmong is closed.]

It was time to leave the dream and return to reality.

Kang-jun opened his eyes and woke up.
