Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 102: Earth Hwanmong Defense Army’s 7th Commander (1)

(Ohh! Unbelievable! Driana...! You are still alive.)

His voice conveyed his emotions. However, Dekail’s eyes widened as she heard it.

“How do you know my original name?”

(Don’t you know your brother’s name?)

“Brother? What nonsense are you saying?”

(I am Sud. I am Sud, the second son of our father, Sautan. You are the youngest child, Driana.)

Dekail exclaimed with a shocked expression,

“S-such a thing! I can’t believe it. My older brother, Sud, died a long time ago.”

(The Second Demon King lied. I was trapped in the Aok and wasn’t killed.)

He continued speaking,

(As you probably know, I was crazy about alchemy. As a side effect of an experiment, I lost my flesh and became a shadow.)

At that moment, Sud briefly changed into his original appearance.

(Do you remember? My original appearance?)

It was only briefly but the face of a young man with purple hair and white skin appeared and disappeared. If the eyes and nose were slightly thicker, he would be almost identical to Dekail.

“Ah.”

Dekail’s eyes widened with amazement. The face was just like a fantasy.

It was the same as someone who had remained in her memory for a long time.

Her eyes shook. She was convinced that Sud was her brother.

"But why did you become his subordinate?”

(Lord saved me from the Aok.)

“Is that what happened?”

(I was about to lose my own life from despair and solitude in the Aok. However, I was able to find a new life by meeting Lord Lucan. You will also receive it if you follow Lord.)

Dekail nodded. She was able to understand how Sud became Kang-jun’s subordinate.

She smiled softly and said,

"However, I am the Second Demon King’s subordinate. I am his eternal slave until he releases me.”

Then Kang-jun, who had been listening quietly to the conversation, finally opened his mouth.

"Don't worry Dekail! If you follow me, I will free you from the Second Demon King.”

Kang-jun smiled gently at Dekail.

This was good.

He had been on the verge of killing her.

After Kang-jun learnt about Sud and Dekail, Kang-jun received a special message.

[Dekail isn’t a sincere follower of the Second Demon King but became one through intimidation. Moreover, she is shaken by her brother Sud’s words.]

[Your charisma is enough to attract Dekail. If you accept Dekail as a subordinate, she will devote herself to you with a willing mind.]

At that moment, he saw a strange light appearing from the Demonic Dragon’s Ring on his left hand.

Just like last time, it was clear that the Demonic Dragon’s Ring was harmonizing with something.

Kang-jun welcomed it.

Regardless of if Sud was her brother, it was very encouraging to be able to take an advanced lord as his subordinate.

Additionally, the mission would be completed automatically just like the previous times.

A message also appeared in front of Dekail.

[Sovereign Lucan’s words are true. If you recognize him as your lord, the Second Demon King Colladikus can no longer bind you.]

[The special power of Sovereign Lucan will cut off all bindings between you and the Second Demon King Colladikus.]

"No way! How is this possible?”

Dekail trembled with a confused expression. Sud cried out anxiously,

(Driana! Why are you hesitating? As you know, the Second Demon King Colladikus killed our lord. You have been forced to give him your power but now you can escape from him.)

Dekail nodded immediately.

“You are correct. I hate the Second Demon King. He caused me so much pain.”

Dekail trembled at the thought. After hearing her words, Sud wrapped his arms around Dekail’s shoulders with a sickened expression.

(I can guess completely what happened but now, you can forget the past and live a new life after joining Lord’s household.)

Driana was close to tears at his words.

She couldn’t remember how many times she had been subjected to all type of insults and torture due to being defeated.

Even so, the Second Demon King was her lord and she couldn’t resist. If he died, she would just die as his slave.

Being able to break the curse seemed like a dream.

She gazed at Kang-jun with teary eyes.

"Is it really possible for me to escape from the Second Demon King if I join your household?”

Kang-jun smiled.

“Of course. You will no longer be Dekail, the Second Demon King’s subordinate. Driana! I will call you that.”

Then Driana approached Kang-jun and kneeled down. She kissed Kang-jun’s shoes and said,

“I am the lowly demon, Driana. I want to come under the authority of the great Sovereign Lucan. Will you accept me?”

“Okay. From now on, you will part part of Sovereign Lucan’s household.”

Kang-jun continued with a solemn expression,

“But remember one thing, Driana. You are no longer a lowly being. For me, you are a very valuable and precious person.”

Then Kang-jun laughed and extended his right hand.

“Kiss my hand in the future. Don’t kiss my feet.”

“Ah.”

Driana looked impressed. Did the Second Demon King abuse her so much that she was impressed about kissing his hand instead of his feet?

At that moment, Driana kissed Kang-jun’s hand lightly.

Kang-jun wiped away the tears on her face and said,

“You’ve suffered all this time.”

Driana smiled brightly at him.

[The demon Driana has joined your household.]

[Draina will swear her eternal loyalty to you in the world of Hwanmong.]

[Mission 17 has been accomplished.]

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

[20,000 nodes have been given as compensation.]

[150 large moonstones have been given as compensation.]

Thanks to completing the mission, he reached level 62.

His joy at obtaining a new member of the household was greater than his level rising.

Dark Mage Driana, a subordinate of the Second Demon King.

An advanced lord had become Kang-jun’s household member.

This was enough to prove his qualifications to become the 7th Army Commander.

A new message appeared.

[You have achieved the feat of taking Dark Mage Dekail, an advanced lord, from the Second Demon King.]

[This means that the power of the Second Demon King has weakened while the power of the allies have strengthened.]

[You have earned 1,500 red moon achievement points.]

Surprisingly, he received more points then when Melinad joined his household.

This meant that Driana was a warlock with a powerful ability.

‘Huhu, today’s achievements are worth over 3,000 points.’

A total of 3,127 achievement points.

As soon as Kang-jun returned to headquarters, he received compensation for his achievements.

[Your level has increased by three.]

[Charisma has risen by two.]

This allowed Kang-jun to reach level 65.

The abilities of his household members increased, from Hayun to Heksia and Driana.

Sud's inventory increased to 300 spaces.

The points exchange rate was ￦9,700,000.

Compared to last time, it had fallen by 100,000 won.

This meant that the sovereigns were working at becoming stronger.

‘It is good to change it now.’

Otherwise, it might decrease by 100,000 won more.

‘Exchange all points!’

Kang-jun turned all 3,127 points into cash. 30 billion won would enter his account when he woke up.

After a while, at the headquarters of Earth Hwanmong’s Defense Army:

Kang-jun entered a magnificent palace.

There were twelve thrones located in the palace.

The 10 senior commanders were there, including Binhaim.

The 7th and 11th thrones were empty.

Today, Kang-jun would become the 7th Army Commander and sit in the 7th throne.

Kang-jun was followed by a girl wearing a black robe.

She looked like a female in her late teens but she was Dekail, who was an advanced lord under the Second Demon King. She had recovered her original name Driana.

The ten commanders, including Binhaim, were smiling with wonder as they gazed at Kang-jun and Driana.

They had already known that Driana had entered Kang-jun’s household.

As usual, Binhaim was the representative and opened his mouth.

“This is truly a surprise. Lucan, you have achieved a remarkable feat that is beyond our expectations. Originally, it was necessary to demonstrate your abilities by bringing back hero ranked or higher equipment after defeating an advanced lord.”

The 2nd Commander Madun nodded.

"Those are also my thoughts. Lucan, you have proven your qualifications to become a commander equal to us. From this time onwards, you will become the 7th Army Commander of Earth Hwanmong’ Defense Army."

The 3rd Commander Ligas was the one who spoke this time.

"The position of the 7th Army Commander will be maintained as long as you don’t die. However, if you conspire with outsiders to take over Earth, you will be deprived of your qualifications.”

It continued with the 4th Commander, the 5th Commander... and finally, the 12th Commander, Rainkar.

To summarize, Kang-jun was given the authority to direct lower ranked commanders in the future.

It was an honour worthy for those who built up their skills!

Furthermore, he absolutely could never betray Earth Hwanmong.

Rainkar spoke last and his words were different.

"Now, you will enter the Guardian Hall.”

A place that couldn’t be entered twice!

A place that he could only enter once!

The Guardian Hall contained the remnants left behind by older beings of Earth Hwanmong.

Kang-jun was given the chance to enter.

Rainkar continued,

“Nobody knows what can be acquired in there. You can receive an item or a special training session.”

"What do you mean by a special training session?”

Training in the Guardian Hall? Kang-jun had a questioning expression on his face while Rainkar just smiled.

"Of course, that is only in extremely rare cases. 99 out of 100 people will come out with treasures. However, there are occasions where someone can receive enlightenment from an ancient commander.”

"Enlightenment?"

“This means there is a chance to raise the level of Heaven’s Blood Sword Style that you learnt.”

“I see.”

"For reference, I am one of the people who became stronger after receiving enlightenment in the Guardian Hall. Until then, my abilities had merely been the abilities of an advanced commander.”
