Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 61: Evil Spirit Possession (1)

“Dammit! No way! It can’t be...heook!”

On the other hand, Yoo Seung-hwan woke up from a nightmare.

His whole body was moist was sweat.

"Ohh!”

He grabbed his head with both hands and screamed.

Last night in the world of Hwanmong, he was grabbed by the ghoul lord and died. After that, he waited at the resurrection jewel at the army headquarters.

Then he returned back to reality.

It wasn’t the first time he had come back to reality since he became a sovereign in Hwanmong.

That wasn’t the reason why he was angry.

[The army’s mission has been completed.]

[You didn’t survive so you can’t receive achievement points.]

He saw these messages before returning.

He knew that he needed to stay alive for the duration of the ghoul lord’s mission in order to receive achievement points.

Therefore, he had tried it.

The problem was that the mission was a success.

Obviously Commander Heksia had been pushed by the ghoul lord, so how was the army’s mission completed?

That guy Kang-jun must have reversed the situation.

How on earth?

Yoo Seung-hwan couldn’t imagine it.

‘Euh! A really surprising guy. I didn’t see him properly. He is a real monster!’

In one sense, he had to be grateful to Kang-jun.

If the army mission failed then the other sovereigns, including Yoo Seung-hwan, would have lost 20 achievement points due to the failure penalty.

In other words, everyone would benefit from Kang-jun completing the mission.

Nevertheless, he had no intention of feeling appreciation.

Everything was relative.

‘He got 210 points while I had my points reduced by 10, so he increased the gap by 220 points. Dammit! If I count the last time...’

He had no answer. Furthermore, what about the moonstones?

However, this was just the start. How much further would the gap increase in the future?

‘Why did the red moon rise?’

Yoo Seung-hwan cursed the red moon. He cursed the red moon and the Second Demon King Colladikus.

It was an opportunity for someone else, but a curse for him.

That was the red moon.

’It can’t be. If this continues then I will be unconditionally beaten.’

To be honest, Yoo Seung-hwan hadn’t intended a genuine negotiation with Kang-jun.

He appreciated that Kang-jun was strong. But a war wasn’t determined by the sovereign alone.

No matter how great Kang-jun was, he wouldn’t be able to handle tens of thousands of orcs alone.

In other words, the eternal alliance or co-existence were just empty words.

He had just thought about throwing him five billion to alleviate his anger. No, he had thought about throwing 10 billion. It was money that he could just recover again.

He would use the dangerous prey that was Kang-jun as a paving stone. It would be better to flatter him as much as possible before killing him.

That was his original plan.

In other words, Yoo Seung-hwan thought that Kang-jun was an excellent monster in Hwanmong and an ignorant child in reality.

However, Kang-jun wasn’t that easy to handle in reality. He couldn’t be wheedled or intimidated.

He suddenly recalled what Kang-jun had said.

‘If I kill you then I can get 100 billion won. I’m not interested if the profit isn’t equivalent to that.’

He seemed to be leaving room for negotiation, but he hadn’t intended to negotiate from the beginning.

Kang-jun was asking for a profit equivalent to 100 billion!

That was the same as Yoo Seung-hwan dying. It was like becoming a devoted subordinate if he gave everything to Kang-jun.

Yoo Seung-hwan grinded his teeth together.

‘Crazy bastard! I would rather blow myself up than give him 100 billion. I earned that money.’

He got up from his bed and had a glass of cold water. His eyes were cold as he glanced out the window.

’Lucan, no, Lee Kang-jun! You are just a rookie. In the end, you will kneel before me.’

There was a meaningful smile on his face.

‘It is good that I made an appointment with them yesterday.’

A meeting would be held this evening with 10 sovereigns, including Zenith.

The place was located in Cheongdam-dong. It was a big and colourful room. This was the luxury restaurant where he met Kang-jun last time.

It was a dangerous move that could expose him to enemies, but they could also unite against a collective enemy. The powerful enemy called Kang-jun.

And Yoo Seung-hwan wasn’t too reluctant to reveal his identity to other sovereigns.

It was something he had worried about before the red moon.

‘My identity as a sovereign was revealed by this event. I won’t curl up and hide.’

However, Sovereign Avia didn’t show any interest in the alliance. He would try again next time.

He immediately headed to the room he reserved under the name of Hardis.

At that time, Kang-jun was watching TV and eating rice after waking up.

"In the last few days, the number of assaults and murders has risen rapidly. Last night, a man in downtown Seoul killed a passerby with a knife...”

He heard bad news on the morning news. Kang-jun was surprised by the recent upswing in criminal acts.

"Monsters have even been seen, so people should avoid going out at night as soon as possible. In addition, the elderly and pregnant women should have a guardian along with them during the day.”

But the stories that appeared on the news were ridiculous. Monsters were seen. It was reported through the phone tip lines.

Besides, the number of assaults and murders was at a serious level.

‘What? Monsters?’

Monsters were appearing in reality, not Hwanmong?

He would have thought it was a mistake if there were just one or two people, but many people were interviewed. There were corpse-eating monsters in the toilets of the subway, someone who saw monsters with tentacles in a dimly lit alleyway and some even saw monsters in the form of massive demons.

The problem was that if monsters appeared, there should be at least one photo or video of the scene.

Was it possible that people fell into a collective hallucination? It couldn’t be.

Kang-jun searched for articles about the incidents. The articles only started from a few days ago. Then the number of them gradually increased and peaked last night. It happened while Kang-jun was sleeping.

‘Strange. The red moon rose a few days ago. Perhaps?’

Kang-jun sensed something and called Lawyer Han Yeon-soo.

-Yes, Lee Kang-jun. What’s going on?

“Can the red moon affect reality?”

-Of course.

Han Yeon-soo replied matter of factly.

Unbelievable! He was alarmed.

"Does that mean that the Second Demon King will emerge in reality?”

-Such cases are rare. That is because it consumes a tremendous amount of magic power. Second Demon King is at war in Hwanmong since he isn’t stupid enough to waste all that magic.

"Fortunately, he won’t pop into reality.”

-Yes. Usually they stay in Hwanmong, but sometimes evil spirits can temporarily fold reality to annoy people. But that alone can make it a little confusing.

"It is only a little bit but it is already like hell. Is there a solution?”

-The only solution is to get rid of the Second Demon King as soon as possible. It is highly unlikely it would happen, but there would be a disaster if the Second Demon King appeared in reality.

"If we defeat his armies in Hwanmong, will the Second Demon King come down to Earth?”

-Of course. In fact, there are quite a few worlds captured by demons. However, there are many strong people in Earth Hwanmong so they can defeat the Second Demon King. Of course, it could take some time.

"Thank you for letting me know. Then I’m going now.”

Kang-jun was somewhat upset by Han Yeon-soo’s relaxed attitude. She wasn’t human so she didn’t seem interested in the suffering of humans.

However, what could Kang-jun do?

In the present situation, all he could do was enter Hwanmong and help weaken the Second Demon King by killing his subordinates.

"Colt, were you approached by any evil spirits or monsters last night?”

If such things existed then ghosts would notice first. Therefore, Kang-jun called Colt who had a hold on the ghosts around here.

“Nothing, Lord. If that happened then I would have reported it instantly. Can I ask what is going on?”

"The red moon has risen and the subordinates of the Second Demon King are attacking reality. Although it is in the form of possession or there is a barrier.”

Then Colt said with a smile.

"If that is the case, don’t worry. They can’t go anywhere near a sovereign’s territory or an occupied territory.”

“Really?”

"Yes, it is because they can’t use magic in the territory of a sovereign. Therefore, Lord’s territory is a safe area.”

Kang-jun owned the Yugang and Dafeng buildings. He also had some occupied buildings so the evil spirits didn’t dare approach.

“It is the same for the territory of other sovereigns. Those who exist in the sovereign’s sphere of influence won’t be in danger.”

“Yes. I understand.”

Kang-jun nodded and prepared to go to work.

On the one hand, he felt proud.

In fact, Kang-jun never thought about the people in reality and just focused on becoming a strong sovereign.

How could he afford to think about them?

He needed to survive alone so he needed overflowing strength. Of course, if he completed all 100 mission then he could eat and live well in the future.

Now he could protect people in a certain area by being a sovereign, so he felt something new. At least in his territory, the creatures of the Second Demon King couldn’t strike.

Kang-jun felt somewhat proud.

After a while, he arrived at the market.

His part-timers would sell underwear while Kang-jun read books.

There were fewer customers in the market than usual due to the news.

However, Kang-jun’s underwear was flying away.

He used the Draw In Customers skill, but it was mainly due to the products he picked after checking with Eyes of Preference. He only picked things that had an A preference so customers didn’t hesitate to buy after coming over.

Of course, sales skyrocketed. However, the low population at the market meant that sales would inevitably fall.

But he wasn’t worried about that. Kang-jun focused on reading the book. He was hoping to get a new management skill today.

It was at that moment.

"Aaaagh! Help me!”

“Wahh! That person is crazy!”

People could be heard screaming and fleeing from afar. Kang-jun looked up with surprise and saw a homeless man attacking people with a knife.

"Kikiki! This fucking world! I will kill everything. Kill!”

His eyes were bloodshot and seemed to have dark energy in them. He wasn’t just a homeless person. He must have been possessed by an evil spirit.

"Freeze."

"Throw away your weapon."

The police aimed their guns but the man didn’t budge.

Rather, the police quickly collapsed.

The man didn’t even turn his head to look at them, but the police fell. What was the reason?

’An attack. The evil spirit attacked the police.’

At that time, the man ran and was about to stab the police.

"Stop!"

Kang-jun quickly ran and cursed him. The man should have lost his energy and collapsed.

However, the man didn’t move.

The target has resisted.]

At the same time, the man sent Kang-jun a menacing look.

Sususu.

Black light could be seen from the man’s eyes.

Then a message appeared.

[The enemy’s attack has automatically activated the battle field.]

Black magic energy absorption resistance! Kang-jun hadn’t used the battle field, but it was activated by itself.

By the way, it wasn’t a man who appeared in the battle field.

"Kukukuk!”

"Kukukuk!”

Three monsters with tentacles was looking at Kang-jun. He had killed the monsters in Hwanmong already.

’It is the thing that possessed that man.’

Kang-jun looked at the monster.

Now he needed to fight and overcome it. Of course, Kang-jun was someone who killed a ghoul lord.

The minions were insufficient against him.

Moreover, it was possible to use his equipment from Hwanmong in the battle field.

Cheocheocheok.

Black armour immediately appeared on Kang-jun’s body. His right hand squeezed the Warrior’s Sword.
