Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 138: Encouraging the Household Members (1)

Keirun already knew that Kang-jun had become a transcendent sovereign.

This was because one of the shadows that enforced the rules of Hwanmong was at the base of the Delta building.

Of course, it was possible for him to feel it with the intuition of an advanced military adviser even without the shadow.

His lord had become a transcendent.

“It is amazing that Lord has become a dimensional sovereign. It is my best luck that I managed to join Lord’s household.”

Keirun said to Kang-jun with an excited expression.

Kang-jun smiled gently.

“Keirin, it was possible due to your help. I could become stronger without worrying about my bases.”

“It was just something I was supposed to do.”

“I am telling the truth.”

Kang-jun then looked at Keirun with a strange expression.

“I remembered something you once asked me. If you want, I will grant that request now.”

“What request?”

Keirun was confused. Then Kang-jun said,

“You said you wanted to become a sovereign as well. If you want, I will release you from my household and also give you a sovereign token.”

“……!”

At that point, a tumultuous expression formed on his face.

He remembered his words when he first joined Kang-jun.

However, he shook his head.

“No thanks, Lord. I don’t want to become a sovereign.”

“Why?”

Keirun laughed bitterly.

“In fact, my desire to become a sovereign has long disappeared after becoming Lord’s military adviser.”

“Why?”

“From the very beginning, I didn’t fit as a sovereign. Rather, as Lord’s military adviser, I am more joyful and energetic than all my previous lives. So, please forget about my previous request.”

“I will do so.”

In fact, Kang-jun had wanted to hold onto Keirun.

It was because Keirun was necessary as his military adviser.

Kang-jun wanted to travel.

Travelling as a dimensional sovereign…

If he found a new world without a master, he planned to establish a base there.

All the worlds would be linked to Earth Hwanmong and the headquarters at the Delta building.

If Keirun was at headquarters, he would be able to take care of everything.

However, there had been the promise from when he first met Keirun. Thus, Kang-jun decided to give Keirun a chance to leave if he wanted.

He wouldn’t forcibly hold onto Keirun.

However, Keirun voluntarily told him to take back the old favor, so that was welcome news to Kang-jun.

“Instead, I want to ask you for something else.”

“Tell me what you want. If it is something I can do, then I will listen.”

He said it sincerely. Keirun hesitated for a moment before saying,

“I didn’t know if I could ask Lord for this favour. Can you get a sovereign out from hell for me?”

“Hell?”

“That’s correct. Lord is a transcendent and can make deals with those who rule over Hwanmong. If they listen, you can get anyone out of hell.”

Well, a shadow was here, so Kang-jun was planning to meet it anyway. It was because he wondered what type of deals were available.

However, one of those deals involved removing a sovereign from hell.

“Who is it?”

“Sovereign Aniel. She was one of my allies and my lover during my last life as a sovereign. Unlike me, who escaped from hell as quickly as possible, she is still suffering in there.”

Kang-jun smiled at the end of the words.

“If that is the case, I will naturally help you. Call the shadow right now.”

After a moment, a shadow appeared.

Unlike the other shadows, this one was hidden so deeply by black hooded clothes that no one would be able to tell it was a shadow.

“I greet Dimensional Sovereign Lucan.”

In the meantime, Kang-jun sat on a throne in his headquarters and the shadow bowed with a very polite attitude.

Kang-jun nodded and said,

“I was told that I could make deals.”

“Of course. Anything that belongs to this Hwanmong can be done according to your will. Just grant us one small request.”

“Okay. I want to free a sovereign from hell. Is that possible?”

The shadow respectfully bowed and replied,

“It is possible if they are a sovereign in hell, but we have a condition.”

“Tell me what it is.”

“You only need to find one Destruction Piece.”

Kang-jun made a confused sound.

“Destruction Piece?”

“There is a place called the Hall of Destruction in the dimensional stations. Killing those who emerge from there can sometimes get you a Destruction Piece.”

Kang-jun pulled out one item from his space after listening.

He hadn’t known the purpose of the Unknown Piece and had just kept it in his space.

After becoming a transcendent, the distinction between the inventory and space had become blurred. Now that he was a chaotic being, he no longer needed to worry about the number of spaces.

It was possible to create a space and store as much as possible.

“Oh! This?”

The shadow expressed admiration after Kang-jun showed it the item.

“That is a Destruction Piece.”

The shadow’s eyes lit up. At that moment, an item description window showed up in front of Kang-jun.

[Destruction Piece]

-Rating: Myth

-A piece with the energy of destruction.

-There is a rare probability of it dropping from a monster with the destruction attribute.

It was a Destruction Piece, not an Unknown Piece.

Kang-jun had 52 of them, but he could get hundreds of thousands more.

He could move to the dark space and go to any Hall of Destruction to beat the monsters.

Fortunately, he didn’t need to do such a tedious thing because only one was required. Kang-jun handed it to the shadow.

“Take this and bring Sovereign Aniel to this place.”

“Yes, Lucan.”

The shadow bowed respectfully and disappeared somewhere.

After a while, a balding, skinny woman appeared anxiously.

Keirun looked at the woman with mixed emotions.

“Oh! Aniel! It is definitely you.”

“……?”

At that moment, Aniel turned her head and saw Keirun. A blue-haired dark elf! She knew who he was.

“K-Keirun?”

Then Keirun embraced her tearfully.

“You must have suffered a lot, Aniel. I never thought I would be able to see you again.”

“Keirun, how did you…?”

Aniel couldn’t believe this situation. She had just been going through a terrible suffering.

She had been a defeated sovereign in hell.

The shadow bowed to Kang-jun and said,

“Then I will be going if you don’t have another request.”

“Yes, you may go.”

Kang-jun smiled and nodded.

In the meantime, Keirun and Aniel were hugging each other while sobbing. However, Keirun soon regained his spirit and introduced Aniel to Kang-jun.

“Aniel, he is Dimensional Sovereign Lucan who pulled you out of hell. He is also my lord.”

Aniel gazed at Kang-jun with a tumultuous expression. She staggered toward him.

“Thank you very much… I still can’t believe that I’m out of hell. Repaying this favour… If you would accept then I would like to repay the favour.”

Kang-jun shook his head.

“It was already paid for by Keirun, so don’t worry about it. For me, Keirun is like my right arm. I’m just granting him a favour. Now, just let Keirun take care of you and rest.”

Kang-jun waved his hand as he spoke.

Then vigor filled Aniel’s destroyed body. Kang-jun restored her appearance and abilities to their best condition.

“Ah!”

It was like a dream to Aniel.

Instead of the hellish prisoner state, she had returned to looking like an elf. The ash grey hair turned blonde and full and her dried out skin became white as snow.

Keirun smiled.

“Lord, Aniel is a far superior military adviser than me. If you accept her, you won’t be disappointed.”

A talent that Keirun recommended! Even if she was his lover, his personality meant that he wouldn’t easily recommend something to Kang-jun.

After listening to Keirun, Kang-jun spoke to Aniel,

“Aniel! Do you really want to join my household? It isn’t necessary if you just want to repay a favour.”

“I would consider it lucky to join the household of Dimensional Sovereign Lucan. My abilities will be helpful to you.”

Kang-jun immediately accepted Aniel into his household. At the same time, he accepted Keirun’s advice and appointed her as a military adviser under Keirun.

[The elf Aniel has joined your household.]

[Aniel is now your faithful subordinate.]

In the meantime, Keirun had been in charge of all the work by himself, but now, he had Aniel, an outstanding military adviser to help him.

Keirun couldn’t stop smiling.

Then other members of Kang-jun’s household, including Heksia and Melinad appeared and congratulated Kang-jun on becoming a dimensional sovereign.

Kang-jun gave every single one of them encouragement.

They had joined his household and would remain with him until the end.

Although they were a little weaker than the other members, Kang-jun didn’t spare any encouragement for Germuz, the ogre, Rodiam, Kajel, and so on.

Then Heksia approached Kang-jun and said,

“Lord, Grania has said that she is willing to join your household. Can you please accept her? She has been waiting here for Lord for a while.”

438th Army Command Grania.

In the past, Kang-jun had worked hard to try and convince her to join him.

At the time, Grania promised to join if Kang-jun won a duel against her, but now, Kang-jun’s abilities already exceeded hers.

He had been so busy that he had forgotten about it, but Grania was excited that Kang-jun wanted her.

Kang-jun smiled at her.

“Of course. Call Grania.”

Kang-jun had decided to only accept those with the minimum power of a demon king from now on, but Grania was an exception.

He would keep the words that he had said before.

Thus, the beautiful commander with blue wings came to his headquarters with Heksia.

She instantly fell to her knees in front of Kang-jun and cried out,

“I, Grania, the 438th Commander of the Earth Hwanmong Defense Army will swear my loyalty to Dimensional Sovereign Lucan.”

“Okay. I look forward to it, Grania.”

[The angel, Grania, has joined your household.]

[Grania is now your faithful subordinate.]

[You have acquired an angel for the first time, so charisma has increased by one.]

He had not thought that Grania, who had the same temperament as Heksia, would be an angel.

It was the first time that an angel had joined his household.

Something had gone wrong in the Celestial World a long time ago and she fell to Hwanmong. Then she became the boss of the 40-storey Geonmulin building located in Samsung-dong.

Thanks to that, it became Kang-jun’s territory and the 4,000 troops under her joined as well.

“You are an angel of the Celestial World.”

Kang-jun had thought that Grania was a demon.

Not only Kang-jun, but even Heksia hadn’t known that Grania was an angel as most of her abilities as an angel were sealed.
