Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 126: Will of Strengthening (1)

Cheongdam-dong was a place with high-end department stores as well as buildings with the names of prominent Korean designers and foreign brands lined up.

In the old days, he had only passed by on a bus and looked at it vaguely.

Of course, today he took the Sentus, a foreign car instead of the bus.

And just like a scene from a drama or movie, Hayun tried out various clothes and showed them to Kang-jun.

"What about this checkered black?”

"Let’s see? It isn’t much.”

Kang-jun shook his head and she came out wearing a pink dress.

"Is this a bit too much?”

His heart thumped wildly. Kang-jun shook his head and said.

"No. It is just right. Let’s end it here.”

Hayun’s eyes narrowed.

“It is really okay?”

“Really. You look like a completely different person.”

His words weren’t wrong. It had a simple but sophisticated style.

A rare item that could only be fully shown with a very small number of bodies, including Hayun’s. She smiled inwardly and said.

“Then I will go with this.”

“Okay. Let’s go to another one.”

“Yes.”

Kang-jun directly bought Hayun the clothes without worrying about the price. Kang-jun also bought some clothes on the spot.

Kang-jun was a famous exorcist so his face was well-known. However, there wouldn’t be any problems if he wore sunglasses and a hat.

However, Hayun’s beauty attracted attention from everywhere.

After parking at the theatre, they went into the building arm in arm.

The latest fantasy movie that was released.

While watching the movie, Hayun lay her head on Kang-jun’s shoulder with an expectant expression.

Kang-jun shyly avoided Hayun’s gaze.

Once he looked back, he was reminded of something.

It was nice to pretend. Kang-jun was well aware of what Hayun wanted.

He also felt a similar urge.

It was natural for there to be romance in reality.

But was it okay if the person was Hayun?

Hayun was his household member and an existence that depended on him.

But it felt natural because she was a friend before Kang-jun became her lord.

Was this what it felt like to have a girlfriend?

He never expressed it before, but perhaps their feelings for each other were more than simple goodwill.

Now it would be awkward if they didn’t progress any further.

Although she wasn’t a person, Kang-jun was able to share love with her.

But what if Hayun knew that the water spirit queen had become his lover?

He couldn’t hide his relationship with Aquana from her. It was a dream but it was also a reality to Kang-jun.

Kang-jun kept thinking about this and the movie finished without him watching any of it at all.

He immediately grabbed Hayun’s hand. Then they exited.

In the meantime, it was getting darker as night approached.

They entered a bar located at the corner that had a luxurious atmosphere.

After having a couple of cocktails, Kang-jun opened his mouth only to have Hayun stop him with a finger to his mouth.

“Don’t say anything. Now it is my turn to talk.”

Hayun smiled.

I don’t care who you meet in your dreams. But in reality, only think about me. Can you do that?”

“Yes.”

She had already guessed. He wondered how she had such a strange intuition but decided not to ask.

After a while, Kang-jun exited the bar and hugged Hayun and flew off.

He didn’t use the skill Dark Transparency, but a magic called Group Transparency.

Hayun also turned into a transparent state.

Thanks to Scolaris’ skill books, he could do a type of prank like this.

It was even possible to lie down on clouds like they were in beds.

Kang-jun and Hayun who climbed up to the clouds in the blink of an eye, only came down again when it was dawn.

There were joyful smiles on Kang-jun and Hayun’s faces.

The next day, Kang-jun went to a PC room with Hayun and played games. He played a game called Expensive Watch and tried an old MMORPG that he used to play before.

The next day, he read manhwa and watched cartoons. In the middle, he got the idea to eat jajangmyun.

He wasn’t really alone and even an ordinary game seemed interesting if he played it with Hayun.

Yet even in such situations, Kang-jun never stopped meditating on transcendence.

It felt like his body and head were separate existences as the body continued to live in reality while the head was filled with thoughts.

In other words, Kang-jun discovered a method of meditating even when doing something else.

The state of transcendence!

It seemed like he would reach it if he solved this problem.

However, he couldn’t completely grasp it.

He was able to concentrate when doing covert things with Hayun. However, if he played games or read manhwa then his eyes and hands moved mechanically while his thoughts were immersed in meditation.

If he was far from the state of transcendence then he might have been less obsessed with it.

But he couldn’t help feeling impatient since recently he felt it getting closer and closer.

Kang-jun knew that this state might lead him beyond the confines of the heart.

He could fall to hell in an instant.

It was fortunate that he had Hayun at this time.

From then on, he spent some unbelievable secret time with Hayun.

It made him feel much better.

He was full of vitality and his mind calmed.

[The door to Hwanmong is open.]

Meanwhile, it was time to come back to Hwanmong.

Kang-jun appeared in the lobby of Shakan’s 39th Base on the Drobi Continent.

Last time, Commander Radius said there would be a welcoming banquet for him.

He was looking forward to the banquet from the elves when he saw an elf commander approaching him with a desperate expression.

"Lucan, right now, mysterious creatures are heading towards Drobi Continent.”

What did that mean?

"It isn’t Top Demon King Kaljark’s army but unidentified creatures?”

"There are unknown organisms living in the dimensional system. They are randomly generated and sent to attack so we don’t know their identities.”

"So that is why I didn’t see anyone at the base.”

“Yes. Now everyone has to fight against them. I would like to ask for Lucan’s cooperation.”

"I joined Shakan’s camp so of course, I should help.”

Kang-jun easily nodded.

Kang-jun flew up through the sea of clouds and landed on the deck of the Rotas Battleship where the demon kings were waiting for Kang-jun.

“Lord! It is better to avoid this. Dimensional creatures are big and strange.”

"The Demon kings are thinking of fleeing?”

Kang-jun said with a disgruntled expression and Cerato scratched his head.

“Dimensional merchants and travelers are more afraid of these creatures than they are of piratas. Even if they are killed, hardly anything can be gained from them. Rarely, Dimensional Pieces will appear.”

“Dimensional Pieces?”

“Yes. But your luck has to be really good. It is better not to expect too much."

“Hrmm.”

If there were chances of getting Dimensional Pieces by defeating the dimensional creatures then it was worth fighting.

Demon kings also feared them so that provoked curiosity and determination in Kang-jun.

It was because he needed strong opponents.

He meditated but couldn’t reach it.

He couldn’t meditate in Hwanmong so he had to find opponents.

The enemies that appeared at Shakan’s base caused even the demon kings to feel fear so Kang-jun had to welcome them.

"Head towards the dimensional creatures. Move to the forefront. Get ready for battle.”

“Yes, Lord!”

The demon kings immediately followed Kang-jun’s commands.

They were reluctant because there wasn’t much to be gained from defeating these tough enemies. It was also troublesome.

However, Kang-jun had commanded them so the demon kings instantly disappeared.

They could fully exert their evil nature in a battle.

“Kuhuhu! Get ready to fight.”

"Kukuku, wipe them all away.”

Their eyes flashed and they prepared their own households for battle.

Meanwhile, Rotas rushed rapidly through the dimensional waters and quickly escaped the area of the Drobi Continent.

Once in the sea of clouds, a fierce battle was occurring between the defenders of Shakan’s base and the dimensional creatures.

They were hideous monsters that looked like giant caterpillars.

There were insect-like objects, but he felt the dimensional power from them, not magic. It meant these unusual creatures were created by dimensional power.

Thus, Kang-jun just decided to call them dimensional objects.

There were over a thousand insects on the caterpillar-shaped objects, and there were hundreds of caterpillars.

Chuaaah!

Kwaaaah!

The caterpillar-shaped object opened its mouth and shot out a circular mass!

It was similar to the breath of an ice dragon.

The ships of the defenders struck by the lump were frozen and shattered.

The even more spectacular thing was that the chunks flying from the caterpillars had an infinite range.

But as soon as it reached the dimensional cloud, it didn’t inflict damage to the sub-dimensional world below it.

It was fortunate.

However, Kang-jun was only watching for a short while and already five ships belonging to Shakan’s base had been broken.

There were still hundreds of ships but he wondered how long they could hold on.

‘The key to this is killing the caterpillars as quickly as possible.’

The problem was the insect shaped monsters on top of the caterpillars.

There were scorpions, spiders, mantis, etc.

The elves who climbed on the caterpillars were literally melted away.

Radius, who was riding around the battlefield on an anomaloria, was the only one capable of defeating the caterpillar shaped objects.

Radius was using an elven bow.

Every time there was a burst of blue like from the diamond on the bow, a storm of energy was emitted and the huge body of the caterpillars fell out of the sky.

That occurred a few times before the body of the caterpillar cracked and exploded. The insects on top of it also exploded.

However, dozens of caterpillars starting aiming for Radius.

Chwaaaaak!

Kuaaah!

Dozens of chunks of dimensional power flew at a tremendous speed. If it was a ship then it would already be broken.

Fortunately, Radius was riding an anomaloria. The anomaloria used instantaneous movements and avoided the endlessly flying masses of dimensional power.
