Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 75: Naga Queen (2)

“Ohh!”

The sovereigns were terrified. Some were so surprised, they flopped down.

Fortunately, there were no victims of the bombardment due to a transparent shield.

It was a shield Commander Grant had activated. Her right hand was holding a staff.

She smiled as she stared up at the sky.

“The naga queen has started attacking. We should go now.”

After speaking, she flew into the sky.

Suuk.

Then a whip appeared in Heksia’s right hand. Today, she was fighting with a weapon instead of unarmed.

‘Is a whip her main weapon?’

Heksia suddenly turned and glanced at Kang-jun, then immediately flew upwards.

She didn’t say anything but he could understand the look in her eyes. She was telling him to destroy the Jewel of Darkness as soon as possible.

‘Okay. Shall I start?’

Kang-jun rushed toward the fortress.

A naga had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake. There were males and females but most of them were more powerful than vampires.

He needed to pass through at least 1,000 nagas to arrive at the fortress. At the fortress, there would be a great number of troops guarding the Jewel of Darkness.

‘The difficulty is definitely higher compared to the vampire lord.’

He couldn’t afford to move with the allied sovereigns today. They also knew that Kang-jun couldn’t afford to take care of their party.

“There is an enemy!”

“Bah! How dare you come here?”

The nagas found Kang-jun who was in the vanguard. A naga with the upper body of a man approached first and swung a spear.

Sswing! Sswiing!

Four arms. Each of the two arms gripped a spear, so they were hard to ignore.

However, Kang-jun avoided the spears lightly and sliced the naga’s waist.

Sukeok!

“Kuack!”

“Kuaack!”

The upper body wasn’t supported by the lower body anymore, so the naga died. Kang-jun moved forward without any hesitation.

His goal wasn’t to annihilate enemies but to arrive at the Jewel of Darkness at the fastest speed!

Therefore, he advanced and only defeated the enemies that blocked his path.

“Kukukuk! Where are you going?”

“Stop him.”

Countless nagas surrounded him. The body of a snake meant that their speed was ridiculously fast. Unlike when he rushed through the vampires, it wasn’t easy to move forward if he took care of them one by one.

‘Heavenly Unyielding Slash!’

A wide area skill was useful in cases like these.

Flash! Paaaah!

“Aack!”

“Cough!”

“Aaack!”

Although 50 black magic energy points were consumed and 20 nagas were killed at once.

There was a moment of silence. The nagas were so astonished that they hesitated.

Snap!

Meanwhile, Kang-jun drank a bottle of black energy recovery potion and looked at the dropped items.

[52 nodes have been gained.]

[An intermediate black magic energy potion has been obtained.]

[One small moonstone has been acquired.]

[48 nodes have been gained.]

[One intermediate health potion has been acquired.]

He picked up the moonstones. The remaining money and japtem would be moved to the warehouse when left alone.

However, Kang-jun had recovered his black magic energy. It was so that he could use his skills freely while moving. In order to do that, he needed to keep his black magic energy at the maximum. He was dealing with formidable enemies, after all.

‘Heavenly Unyielding Slash!’

Flash! Paaaah!

“Aaaagh!”

“Kaaack!”

One person behind Kang-jun stared at the way he broke through the nagas.

It was Radel, the total sovereign.

Kang-jun opened the path, so Radel was able to take care of some nagas behind him.

‘Euh! Is he human?’

His expression was tinged with amazement. The sight of Kang-jun taking out 20 nagas at once was cool.

‘Shit! I have to admit it’s cool. However, I will be the final winner.’

It was highly likely there would be a final battle in front of the Jewel of Darkness as a very powerful being was probably guarding the Jewel of Darkness.

While Kang-jun was fighting the guardian, Radel would rush out and destroy the Jewel of Darkness.

‘Huhu, the money that the bear made will be taken by the king.’

There was a meaningful smile on Radel’s face as he followed Kang-jun.

Meanwhile, the other sovereigns were engaged in fierce combat with the nagas.

The sovereigns had become very cautious and smart! Those who experienced a bitter taste during the evaluation had changed.

Rather than recklessly moving alone, they formed parties and prioritized their own survival. As soon as they were injured, they moved to the back of the party and drank a potion.

So, no one had died yet.

There were a few parties that showed outstanding skills, including Avia’s party. It was the same for the party led by Hardis.

Kwarurung! Kwa kwang!

There was an endless battle in the sky. The naga queen was dealing with both Heksia and Grania alone.

She looked at the situation below and frowned, then threw something down towards the ground.

Hwik!

It was a single bead. As soon as it hit the ground, clouds emerged and turned into the naga queen.

It was the naga queen’s clone!

“No?”

“Damn!”

Heksia and Grania panicked. It would be difficult for the sovereigns if the naga queen’s clone started moving.

However, there was no time for them to worry about that.

The naga queen was pushing them harder than before.

“Ridiculous things! Receive the queen’s anger!”

Hwing hwing hwing!

Countless red blades flew towards Heksia and Grania.

Kuwang! Kwarurung! Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

While the vibrant battle was occurring in the sky, the naga queen’s clone on the ground rushed towards the sovereigns.

Papapa! Papapat!

Sharps barbs pierced the necks of the sovereigns and their limbs were cut off.

“Aack!”

“Ack!”

The difference in combat power was so large that the parties couldn’t stop it. A party of 10 sovereigns were destroyed by the naga queen’s clone in an instant.

The nagas stunned by the sovereigns started their assault again.

“Aaack!”

“Kuak!”

“Shit!”

The sovereigns started collapsing. Following Hardis’ party, Avia’s group ended up dying.

All the sovereigns, except for Kang-jun, Radel and Zenith who had passed through the vanguard of the nagas, were annihilated.

The naga queen’s clone threw a spear that pierced through Zenith’s throat.

“Kuaack!”

At that moment, Kang-jun felt a sense of uncertainty and looked back.

‘No, that is?’

A naga was rushing at him at a tremendous speed.

“Hohoho! Where are you busy going? Human!”

Of course, Kang-jun didn’t know that this was the naga queen’s clone. He could only sense the naga had an unbelievably strong presence.

Hwi hwi hwi hwik! Papapat!

Many spears flew at Kang-jun. The spears cut off all of Kang-jun’s movements and cornered him.

Chang! Chachachang! Kakakakak! Kakang!

Kang-jun calmly swung his sword and blocked all the spears. There was no time to use a skill and he had to concentrated completely on defense.

‘Why the hell is this naga so strong? Perhaps it is the queen’s clone?’

The appearance of the naga was different compared to the others.

She had bright red hair. Clear-cut features. Unlike the normal nagas with grey skin, she had skin that was as white as snow. Furthermore, her chest was covered with a golden bikini-like underwear. Other female nagas showed their breasts, so it was unusual that this one was covered.

Anyway, she was a great beauty, just based on the upper half.

Of course, Kang-jun wasn’t deluded by her beauty, so he didn’t hesitate to attack. Although her upper body was pretty, her lower body was a snake. She was just a monster.

Flash! Jijijik!

Even though a few spears got through and hit him, the Ghoul Lord’s Heavy Armour displayed its power and not that much health was consumed.

A strong and challenging opponent.

It wouldn’t be easy to kill her quickly!

“It is amazing that you are such a powerful swordsman.”

The naga queen’s clone sincerely expressed her admiration for Kang-jun’s swordsmanship.

Her eyes shone.

However, she was a scarier opponent.

Kang-jun couldn’t find any gaps while he kept defending against the spears.

However, that only lasted for a short while.

Kang-jun grasped the pattern of the spears’ flow and started to swiftly move his sword.

And then he spotted gap.

Flash!

Kang-jun didn’t hesitate as a flash emerged from his sword.

Chwack!

“Kuook!”

Blood spurted from the clone’s chest and Kang-jun followed up with a slice to the neck.

Sukeok!

The naga queen’s clone that lost her head stood still.

[Experience has been gained.]

[3,820 nodes have been gained.]

[52 small moonstones have been acquired.]

[27 large moonstones have been acquired.]

[The naga queen’s silver box has been acquired.]

His level didn’t rise despite killing the clone of a lord. There wasn’t even a mission.

Still, at least he had a solid profit of nodes and moonstones. Furthermore, there was a silver box.

What was in it?

Anyway, he decided to check it after it was safer. Right now, it was imperative to break the Jewel of Darkness.

Kang-jun plunged into the fortress immediately.

“The enemy!”

“Stop him!”

There were nagas wandering around inside the fortress. Most of them were big nagas with two or three upper bodies joined to one lower body.

They could be called giant nagas but to Kang-jun, they were no different from normal nagas.

‘Heavenly Unyielding Slash!’

Flash! Paaaat!

After gathering 20 monsters in one area, he used the wide area skill to wipe them out.

The man following Kang-jun was upset. It was none other than Radel.

He was lucky enough to survive.

It was because the naga queen’s clone aimed for Kang-jun straight after Zenith. Radel was thankful for such luck but was shocked after seeing Kang-jun take care of the clone.

‘I really want to be that person. Huhu, but I still have a chance.’

He hadn’t given up. Rather, this was currently his best chance. Radel and Kang-jun were the only ones left.

On the other hand, Kang-jun knew from the beginning that Radel was following him and his reason for following Kang-jun was obvious.

‘It won’t turn out as he wants.’

The shiny Jewel of Darkness wasn’t far away. There was no powerful presence that could threaten Kang-jun since he had already destroyed the clone.

However, if he fought the dozens of nagas guarding it then Radel might destroy the Jewel of Darkness first.

Kang-jun moved between them. He had at least 10 nagas following him.

At this point, Kang-jun could use his wide area skill. Instead, he used Aura of the Wind to run in a certain direction. It was the area where Radel was.

“Huheok! W-what?”

Radel flinched but the nagas had already reached him. Kang-jun laughed.

“It is hard on my own, so take care of them.”

Kang-jun killed a naga and escaped from the encirclement. The nagas then rushed toward Radel.

“Ugh, damn it! Cowardly bastard!”

Radel cursed Kang-jun. However, right now, he had to fight against the nagas in order to live.

He was a total sovereigns, so despite being surrounded by 10, he didn’t panic and endured.

In the meantime, Kang-jun was approaching the Jewel of Darkness.

“Aaaack!”

At that moment, he heard a scream from the sky.

Kang-jun looked up with surprise as a woman with blue wings crashed down.

It was Commander Grania. Her body turned into smoke just before hitting the ground and disappeared.

‘Damn!’

Grania had died. The problem was that Heksia was completely bloody. It seemed like she would soon receive Grania’s fate.

‘I need to take care of the Jewel of Darkness instantly!’

Paak!

Kang-jun smashed the Jewel of Darkness with his sword.

Then the naga queen’s body trembled.

“Euh! Damn it!”

“Huhut, you are now finished.”

There was a smile of victory on Heksia’s face. She struck with her whip.

However, the naga queen just snorted.

“Bah! Who is finished?”

Her spear gleamed and penetrated Heksa’s chest.

“Die!”

At the same time, Heksia’s whip wound around the naga queen’s waist.

“Aaack!”

“Kuook!”

Heksia and the naga queen attacked each other in a matter of seconds after Kang-jun shattered the Jewel of Darkness.

Pasususu .

Heksia’s body disappeared into smoke.

What was this?

The naga queen didn’t die. Her bloody figure fell to the ground and she immediately jumped up.

“Bah!”

“Kuaaaak!”

She entered the fortress without hesitation and pierced Radel with her spear.

Kwatang!

After skewering Radel, she threw his body away and rushed to Kang-jun.

“Now, you are the only one left. Die.”

The naga queen’s eyes glared at him coldly and she wielded her spear furiously.

Flash!

A red flash like lightning flew toward him from a distance and Kang-jun quickly rolled his body…

Kwaang!

The ground where he had been standing split apart.

‘Shit! What do they want me to do if I died?’

Kang-jun was in a troubling situation. Grania and Heksia had died and yet, the naga queen hadn’t died yet.

Of course, Kang-jun would be resurrected after dying.

However, he found it difficult to give up. The Jewel of Darkness had also been smashed.

‘Shit!’

Kang-jun raised the Vampire Lord’s Sword.

‘I will try it once.’
