Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 58: Ghoul Lord (2)

“Kukukukuk! Insignificant human sovereign, you did well to get here. But this is it.”

The ghoul lord scoffed as it looked at Kang-jun and swung its fist.

Hwing!Hwiing!

The ghoul lord’s huge fist! It exploded against the ground.

Kuaang!Kwaang!

It sounded like a building was being blown away. The earth shook and one side of the mountain peak collapsed.

Kuwang!Woorururu!Kwaang!

Kang-jun was able to avoid it after using Aura of the Wind. The ghoul lord’s attack was a bit of a hassle, but his actions were so large that it was possible to predict the path in advance.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been safe even if he could move quickly. Despite avoiding the fists or feet, he could be crushed by the shockwaves.

In addition, Heaven’s Blood Sword Style was very important. As soon as the direction for escape was noticed, his body reacted spontaneously and moved like the wind.

As Kang-jun kept evading, the ghoul lord became even more heated up.

"Kuaaaah!"

Kwaang!Kwaang!

Kang-jun moved like he was in a trance. Right now he didn’t care about anything except avoiding the ghoul lord.

It was like he was walking a tightrope between two cliffs. If his concentration fell even the slightest then he would be destroyed.

If the ghoul lord’s huge fist hit then even an armoured tank would collapse. There was no need to mention Kang-jun who had the body of a human.

One hit would be his end. His health would be reduced to zero points. His body would be literally broken down.

Of course, it was possible to revive after dying. However, he would fail today’s mission.

‘Hang in there.’

He didn’t even dare dream of a counterattack. If he kept evading then Heksia would somehow lure the ghoul lord back.

In the meantime, there were other people who met with disaster.

Zenith and Avia who approached the top were caught by the ghoul lord’s hands.

"Kukukuku! How dare lowlives like you come up here?”

Kwack!Kwack!

The ghoul lord applied strength to both hands. Zenith and Avia’s bodies literally exploded.

“Kuaack!”

"Ack!"

The other sovereigns freaked out at the sight and fled. However, they were surrounded by ghouls.

“Grrrr! Human meat!”

"Chop chop! Delicious.”

Jijijik! Ojeok ojeok.

“Ohh! D-don’t come!”

"Aack!"

Hardis and the 10 sovereigns who followed hadn’t climbed the peak and were steadily hunting on the outskirts. Therefore, they were the only safe ones.

Hardis glanced at Kang-jun avoiding the ghoul lord’s attacks.

‘Euh! Is he human?’

He was shocked. It really didn’t make sense.

‘Lucan! What are his limits?’

If it was Hardis then he would never be able to avoid even one of the ghoul lord’s strikes. Even a shockwave caused by hitting the ground would be the end of him.

Yet Kang-jun was able to hold on until Heksia arrived behind the ghoul lord.

Bam!

"Kuoooak!"

The ghoul lord roared and immediately sprang up as it was hit in the back. Then it tried to eat Heksia.

“Kududuk! You dare! I will chew on your corpse.”

“Bah! What are you saying?”

Heksia cried out. But unlike before, she was a mess. Her wings were torn and her face was covered with bruises. In addition, blood was coming from one side of her neck where the ghoul lord had bit it.

Of course, the ghoul lord was also in a similar state. There was black blood flowing everywhere from its wounds. Blood was spurting like a fountain from its head.

Kang-jun became cold with fright after seeing their appearances.

‘It is amazing that they are still alive.’

Any other human would have already died. However, Heksia and the ghoul lord had mysterious bodies that couldn’t be understood using human common sense.

The problem was that the ghoul lord’s injuries were slowly recovering thanks to the Jewel of Darkness. Heksia seemed to be recovering on her own, but the speed was significantly slower.

So Heksia was the one being pushed back.

Kang-jun’s eyes sharpened.

‘I need to smash the jewel soon.’

The Jewel of Darkness was keeping the ghoul lord from being killed.

Now he had room to move thanks to Heksia’s appearance.

“Kudududuk! Really annoying. Why don’t you give up and die? I will kill you without any pain.”

“Bah! Shut up! I will take pleasure in sending you to hell!”

Kuwang!Kwang kwang kwang!

Everywhere was a mess.

“Keek!”

“Kuaack!”

Ghouls caught by the shockwaves turned into a rain of blood and flesh.

Kang-jun calmly avoided the radius of the shockwave and headed towards the place where the Jewel of Darkness was.

If he destroyed the Jewel of Darkness then the ghoul lord would weaken. Then Heksia would be able to win.

"Lucan, hurry up!"

Heksia, who was tangled up with the ghoul lord, realized that Kang-jun was aiming for the Jewel of Darkness. She grabbed onto the ghoul lord and gave Kang-jun a chance to destroy the jewel.

Hwiik!

Kang-jun sprinted towards the Jewel of Darkness.

‘That’s it! Just a little bit more. A little bit more.’

There was only 20 metres left before he reached the Jewel of Darkness. There was only a little bit more to go.

10 metres.

Now. Kang-jun prepared to jump and use Heavenly Cut.

However, Heksia urgently shouted just as Kang-jun was about to jump.

“Lucan, avoid it!”

Peeeong!

The ghoul lord hit the spot where Kang-jun was with its hand.

Fortunately, Kang-jun was out of its range. This was thanks to Heksia’s warning.

However, he lost his balance and staggered due to it.

“Grrrr!”

“Kikikik!”

Three ghouls pounced and bit Kang-jun.

"Ugh! Shit!”

Kang-jun hurriedly swung his sword at the ghouls. Both thighs and one side of his body had become a bloody mess. He had injuries from the ghouls’ bites.

Snap!Snap!

He quickly drank a health potion.

Meanwhile, the ghoul lord alternated looking between Heksia and Kang-jun.

"Kukukukuk! How ridiculous! You can beat me by destroying that. But that is just your delusion.”

The ghoul lord lifted the Jewel of Darkness with one hand.

At that moment, its body was surrounded by darkness.

Chu chu chu chu.

The wounds on the ghoul lord vanished and its eyes started to shine more intensely.

“Ah, damn!”

Heksia stepped back with a confounded expression. She didn’t know that the ghoul lord would pick up the Jewel of Darkness.

Once the Jewel of Darkness left its spot, the power of darkness sustaining the ghouls would disappear.

The ghoul lord had thrown away all the ghouls. As expected from a subordinate of the Second Demon King.

As predicted by Heksia, disaster came to the ghouls.

“Kuweek!”

“Kuooh!”

The ghouls started burning and collapsing. After falling down, they dispersed into smoke.

“Kakakakat! Now it is time to get revenge for the ghouls.”

With one hand holding the Jewel of Darkness, the ghoul lord rushed towards Heksia.

Bam!Bam!

"Kuook!”

The ghoul lord used only one hand but Heksia was pushed back. She was wounded while the ghoul lord was completely recovered.

“Hah! It is funny that your body is in such bad shape.”

The ghoul lord’s pride had been bruised by Heksia. But now his pride was endless.

Bam!

"Ack!"

The ghoul lord’s fist hit her face. That was followed by a painful punch to her abdomen.

Bam bam!

Her huge body flew to the bottom of the mountain. The ghoul lord immediately jumped towards where Heksia had fallen.

But there were Hardis and 10 other sovereigns gathered in that area.

"Heeook! That monster has come here.”

“Wahh! A-avoid it!”

They fled but the ghoul lord chased after then like a cat chasing a rat.

"Kukukukuk! Little sovereigns! Do you think you can run away from me?”

Bam!Bam bam!Kwaaack!Oduduk!

"Aack!"

“Kuak!"

Hardis was hit by the ghoul lord’s fist and was turned into an unrecognizable state. Other sovereigns were cut in its hands or trampled on.

As a result, all the sovereigns except for Kang-jun were resurrected at the army headquarters.

"D-dammit! Why did it come there?”

The resurrected Hardis thought it was unfair. He grabbed his head with both hands and screamed.

‘Shit! If I hadn’t die then I would have received 80 points.’

Instead of destroying the Jewel of Darkness, he had concentrated on killing the ghouls, only to be killed by the ghoul lord.

Avia, who had already been waiting, sent him a look.

"You don’t have to be like that. This mission is a failure anyway.”

Zenith also agreed.

"We have the same idea. The commander was pushed by the ghoul lord from the beginning. Now there is no chance. It is impossible for Lucan to destroy the Jewel of Darkness alone. Lucan will come here after a while.”

Hardis grinned after hearing their words.

“Yes, I see. No matter how great he is, it is impossible for Lucan to overturn this situation.”

Lucan would also fail. They were comforting words.

Was there anything else? All of the sovereigns’ gazes were fixed on the resurrection gem. They expected Lucan to appear there soon.

But contrary to their expectations, Kang-jun was still fine.

Rather, while the ghoul lord was chasing Hardis and the others, he quickly reached the place where Heksia had fallen.

Heksia’s eyes were closed like she was dead.

The places where she was hit by the ghoul lord were badly bruised.

She looked extremely pitiful.

Kang-jun urgently pulled out potions and poured them on her.

“Wake up, Commander! Surely you aren’t giving up?”

Gurgle gurgle!

Heksia needed to regain consciousness. It was impossible for Kang-jun to fight against the ghoul lord alone.

“Wake up! Heksia! Regain your spirit!”

Gurgle gurgle gurgle!

Then Heksia opened her eyes. She smiled and shook her head.

“It is okay. Don’t waste your potions. In this state of transformation, potions are useless. My wounds will recover on their own. It will take a little time.”

"Even with such serious injuries?”

“Hoho! Of course. Wounds like these are nothing. By the way, why are you talking to me with that tone?”

Heksia was upset by Kang-jun’s impolite speech. Kang-jun shrugged. It was an urgent situation so he hadn’t worried about honorifics.

“I’m sorry. It was an accident.”

“Bah! Be careful from now on. I am the commander.”

“Yes.”

In the meantime, she didn’t forget to have a haughty expression. Then she stood up and stared at the ghoul lord. She rushed forward like a beam of light.

Sususu!Supaak!

In the blink of an eye, Heksia reached the ghoul lord.

Kwajik!

The ghoul lord had just finished defeating all the sovereigns who ran away so it couldn’t escape Heksia’s attack.

“Kuaak!”

However, it only slightly staggered. Rather, it used one hand to grab Heksia’s head and slammed it against the ground.

Kwatang!

"Ugh!"

Heksia got up immediately but panted for breath. In fact, she hadn’t recovered and used most of her strength in that last attack. Now she didn’t even have the strength to stand.

“Ah, damn! Why is it so strong?”

"Kukukukuk! As long as I have the Jewel of Darkness, you will never be my opponent.”

“How can a lord kill all their subordinates?”

The ghoul lord’s face distorted after hearing Heksia’s sarcasm heavy tone.

“Kukukuk! They sacrificed themselves for me. In order to comfort them, I will make sure that I kill you. Grrrr!”

The ghoul lord ran forward after shouting. The teeth of the ghoul lord were much faster than its fists or feet.

The bite this time would be the end.

Heksia took a painful step back. But at that moment, the ghoul lord’s fist hit Heksia’s stomach.

Bam bam!

“Ugh!”

Heksia screamed as she flew away. She lay on the ground like a dying fish and couldn’t get up.

The ghoul lord crouched down in front of her with a gentle expression. Then he grabbed Heksia’s hair and pulled her head up.

"D-damn...”

Heksia knew she was in trouble. The ghoul lord saw her distress and laughed wildly.

“Kukakakaka! How ludicrous! From the very beginning, you weren’t my opponent.”

One of the ghoul lord’s hands was grasping Heksia’s hair while the other one was holding the Jewel of Darkness. It was preparing to eat Heksia.

At that moment.

Flash!

The Jewel of Darkness exploded.

It was Kang-jun. While the ghoul lord was distracted by Heksia, he had quickly run up to it and used Heavenly Cut.
