Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 77: Naga Queen (4)

If anyone was watching the current situation, they would think Kang-jun was crazy.

Of course, it wasn’t because Kang-jun asked the naga queen to become his subordinate.

A sovereign could ask anyone to become their subordinate, even if they were rejected.

Furthermore, if a sovereign’s charisma was high enough, even the most outspoken person might be willing to accept the offer.

However, what if the other person was already part of someone’s household?

Whether the lord was a sovereign or demon king, it was considered impossible.

The extremely powerful Second Demon King Colladikus would never allow the naga queen to leave!

It was literally nonsense. People would have no choice but to call Kang-jun crazy.

Kang-jun also knew this well. He had already heard it several times from Keirun.

Yet there was a reason why he suddenly made the offer.

[Naga Queen Melinad is not a sincere follower of the Second Demon King. She joined him to save the nagas.]

[However, the Second Demon King abandoned his promise to Melinad and she is very angry. She is also trembling at the Second Demon King’s monstrous behaviour.]

These messages suddenly popped up.

This situation had happened once before. He used it to convince Colt, who was Jung Kwang-hyeon’s follower, to join him.

[Your charisma isn’t high enough to accommodate Queen Melinad. You must have 20 charisma in order for Melinad to willingly accept you as her lord.]

The problem was Kang-jun’s charisma.

Charisma: 11 (+4)

He had a total of 15 points. This wasn’t low, but he needed five more points in order to obtain Naga Queen Melinad.

[However, Melinad is in a crisis. If you say that you will get her away from the Second Demon King Colladikus, her heart will be shaken.]

[Even so, she won’t easily become your subordinate.]

[Listen to her conditions. If you can get Naga Queen Melinad to join your side then Mission 14 is considered to be complete.]

If he listened to the naga queen’s terms and made her join, then he could complete Mission 14 without killing her!

Although it wasn’t directly mentioned, one important premise was given.

It was the premise that Kang-jun could free the naga queen from Colladikus.

The ability to release someone from a household!

If it hadn’t been a coincidence, was it a hidden power of the Demonic Dragon’s Ring like Keirun said?

The problem was that Kang-jun didn’t know how to activate the ability. It seemed to be a phenomenon that occurred when a target, sensitive to the Demonic Dragon’s Ring, appeared or when certain conditions were fulfilled.

‘Anyway, this is a big hit.’

The naga queen had a mighty combat power that dominated two commanders. If she joined his household, Kang-jun’s power would be several times stronger.

On the other hand, Queen Melinad’s expression was filled with confusion.

[Will you accept Sovereign Lucan’s offer?]

[If you accept then you will be Sovereign Lucan’s subordinate, not the Second Demon King Colladikus.]

A new message appeared.

‘Accepting the offer will allow me to change lords?’

The human sovereign Lucan instead of the Second Demon King Colladikus?

Melinad was confused.

Being able to escape from the Second Demon King was like a miracle.

She had never imagined it in her wildest dreams.

However, she had to be under the power of another person.

Moreover, Lucan was a human sovereign.

It was better than being under the demon king but it still wasn’t enough to meet her expectations.

Kang-jun then said,

“Rest assured that I won’t punish your people for being defeated in a battle.”

“......”

Melinad looked silently at Kang-jun who simply smiled.

"Additionally, I will accept all the nagas.”

“Don’t you want to use me and my subordinates in battle? Even if I become your subordinate, they will just end up being killed like now."

"I don’t intend to force anything.”

Melinad snorted.

"Do you expect me to believe that? I’ve already been fooled once.”

Melinad thought that sovereigns wouldn’t need household members if it wasn’t for the purpose of war.

Kang-jun shook his head.

"Of course, I need your help. If you become my subordinate, you’ll get a lot of power. However, I won’t force you to do anything unless you want to.”

Kang-jun stared intensely into Melinad’s eyes.

"If you want to rest, you can. There is something you should help me with if you are willing. Tell me if you have any other conditions.”

"Conditions?"

“Yes. I will listen to your conditions and try to accommodate you as much as possible.”

Then Melinad paused for a moment and opened her mouth.

"I need a space when I can live with my men. A place where no one can interfere.”

“A space? What type of space?”

“Give me one of the buildings you own in Hwanmong.”

"A building?”

"I’m not asking for ownership. I just want a place where I can stay with my people.”

A satisfied smile appeared on Kang-jun’s face.

He thought she would demand something more but it was an unexpectedly simple condition. He just had to give a building to the naga queen.

He had been thinking of buying one more building. It wasn’t unreasonable since he had more than 5 billion won in cash.

He had already assigned it to Secretary and the real estate agent Kim Seok-cheol.

The Yugang building and Dafeng building contained bases, a rest area, workshops, barracks and a research institute, so he couldn’t give the buildings to Melinad. A newly purchased building would be a suitable place to live for the nagas.

“Okay. I will do so.”

Kang-jun nodded easily.

Melinad made a startled expression. She didn’t think that Kang-jun would accept so easily.

“My conditions aren’t over yet. I no longer want to be a tool of war. So, I will refuse any orders.”

"I have already decided to do that. Any other conditions?”

Melinad’s expression brightened noticeably.

"There are no other conditions.”

The words emerged from her mouth.

"Instead, if your base is attacked, I will defend it with my 800 naga warriors.”

They would participate in defending the base on a voluntary basis.

Kang-jun still felt hopeful.

A naga queen with 800 warriors! As long as they protected Kang-jun’s buildings, his bases wouldn’t collapse.

No matter how much money Hardis and his cronies collected, it was impossible for them to defeat the naga queen’s army. At the very least, they wouldn’t have anyone that could match the naga queen.

"So, we can remove our weapons.”

"Yes.”

Melinad nodded. Both of them simultaneously pulled their weapons out of each other’s chests.

Melinad immediately dropped her weapon to the ground and kissed Kang-jun’s right hand.

“Sovereign Lucan, you are now my lord. I, along with 827 naga warriors, will serve you.”

[Naga Queen Melinad has joined your household.]

[Melinad will become your faithful subordinate in Hwanmong.]

[Mission 14 has been completed.]

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

[10,000 nodes have been given as compensation.]

[60 large moonstones have been given as compensation.]

Level up!

He reached Lv35.

However, that wasn't the end.

[One of the commanders of the Second Demon King, Naga Queen Melinad, and 827 of her naga warriors have become your power.]

[You will be given 1,000 red moon achievement points for the special achievement.]

His achievements rose by a huge 1,000 points.

It was great.

His points were higher than the whole enemy alliance group combined.

[You have succeeded in bringing a high level target into your household.]

[Charisma has risen by one.]

Charisma rose by one point.

Melinad bowed politely and said,

"So, I will head to your base.”

The battle was over and the seal on this area was lifted. There was no place for Melinad and her 827 naga warriors to go except for Kang-jun’s base.

Chu chu chu.

She waved her hand and made a base return magic circle.

Kang-jun just smiled.

"Wait there. I will give you a new home soon.”

"Yes, Lord.”

Not only Melinad but the naga warriors around Kang-jun also bowed and disappeared into the circle.

(Keirun, the naga queen is coming.)

(Huh? What does that mean?)

(The naga queen has joined my household.)

(Huh? Who?)

(Naga Queen Melinad.)

(......)

Keirun was silent for a moment. He was obviously shocked. Of course, he immediately regained his spirit.

(Lord! What happened? Did you really convince the naga queen to join?)

(Please take care of the new household member. She should have reached there by now.)

(Yes, she seems to be coming. T-this! Nagas are coming in endlessly.)

(The naga queen has 827 people.)

(T-that’s right. Hahaha! It is really wonderful, Lord!)

Keirun said in a frantic voice.

(I will buy a new building soon. Give the nagas a place to live for the moment.)

(Then I will arrange for a place in the rest area.)

(Good work.)

After a while, Kang-jun was left alone in the fortress.

Soon a magic circle would appear to return him to headquarters or Heksia would come to him directly.

Meanwhile, Kang-jun pulled out the silver box that he got from the clone.

There was also a book inside this time.

[Dark Transparency]

In the last silver box, he received knowledge about vampire mages. However, this time it seemed like some type of skill.

‘What is this?’

Kang-jun opened the book with a pounding heart.

Palrak.

At that moment, strange letters and patterns were absorbed into his body.

[The skill Dark Transparency has been learnt.]

[Dark Transparency]

-Makes the body transparent using the power of black magic.

Movement speed in the darkness will increase greatly but the transparency will disappear once you attack an enemy.

-Duration lasts for 10 minutes.

-5 black magic energy will be consumed.

It was a skill that literally turned him invisible. Using five black magic energy could conceal his appearance for 10 minutes.

‘Amazing! Does this also apply to reality?’

In the past, he could augment his speed using Aura of the Wind in reality.

If so, it should be possible to use Dark Transparency.

Hwaaak! Hwaaack!

At that time, there was a brilliant light and two people appeared in front of Kang-jun.

They were Heksia and Grania.

Their faces were full of shock.

"Lucan! What happened?”

“I can’t believe it. How did you make the naga queen join your household?”

They already knew.

Kang-jun received 1,000 achievement points for a special achievement, so it was impossible that the commanders didn’t know.

Kang-jun just smiled.

"I was just a little bit lucky.”

Heksia stared at Kang-jun like it was absurd.

"If that is luck then you are really fortunate.”

On the other hand, Grania looked excited.

“What is wrong with luck? Luck is also a skill. Anyway, Lucan, you are now a force in the Earth Defense Army that can’t be ignored.”

Heksia smiled.

“Now, I will reward you for the mission. I’d thought we’d lost but you did very well.”

[You have destroyed the Jewel of Darkness.]

[You have earned 300 red moon achievement points.]

[You have killed the most nagas.]

[You have earned 100 red moon achievement points.]

[You have survived until the end.]

[You have earned 50 red moon achievement points.]

He received 1,000 points and now there was an additionally 450 points.

Today, he earned a huge 1,450 points.
