Chapter 89: Ratian Lord (2)
Andras was surprised to see that Kang-jun was facing the ratian lord alone.
'Lucan! When did he get stronger again?'
'I can't believe it. He already has a lord level combat power. '
They thought they understood Kang-jun, but that wasn't the case.
He had a different combat power compared to a few days ago!
However, it was great to see now. If it wasn't for Kang-jun, they would have been killed by the ratian lord.
That's right. Now wasn't the time to be jealous of how strong Lucan was.
This was the Bloody Battlefield. It was a dangerous place where they could die. They would think about their jealousy after leaving the battlefield.
'We must gather our strength. '
Andras struck the surrounding monsters in order to make it easier for Kang-jun to deal with the ratian lord. Damas, Agnus and Fade agreed.
Thanks to this, Kang-jun could fight the ratian lord more reliably.
'Heavenly Cut!'
Flash!Sukeok!
Kang-jun swiftly aimed Heavenly Cut at a gap in the ratian lord's movements and cut off his left hand.
"Kuooh!"
The body of the ratian lord shook from the pain. However, surprisingly, a new hand appeared where the previous one was cut off.
An extreme regeneration ability.
That wasn't the end.
"Kukuku! I didn't realize that I would have to use this against a trivial human sovereign."
The ratian lord muttered.
At that moment, someone with the same appearance as him showed up.
'Two against one?'
The ratian lord thought he would be able to win by joining up with his clone, but Kang-jun was still confident.
In the meantime, he had grasped the attack patterns of the ratian lord. The clone was also much weaker, so he wasn't worried.
However, Kang-jun was mistaken.
"Go! Go and destroy him!"
At the command of the ratian lord, the clone flew towards Kang-jun. It was a strange attack without any defense.
'What?'
Kang-jun immediately swung the Vampire Lord's Sword.
Sukeok!
At that moment, the clone literally exploded.
Kwaang!
'This!'
Kang-jun tried to avoid it, but the explosion caused a powerful shock wave that struck him.
"Kuuack!"
Kang-jun was blown away and crashed into the ground.
Kuuong!
Andras and the others were startled to see it.
Until now, Kang-jun had been obviously pushing the ratian lord back. Therefore, they couldn't imagine the situation changing like this.
An explosion!
It was a terrible attack caused by the clone exploding. That explosive force was terrifying.
Andras and the others also received some damage despite holding back the mobs from a distance.
Kang-jun wouldn't have been safe despite the good armour he was wearing. So, it wasn't surprising that Kang-jun crashed into the ground.
His condition was horrible. Blood gushed from his body, turning the nearby land red.
Andras and the others looked down at him with mixed expressions.
'Lucan's efforts were in vain. '
'He must be dead. '
Originally, they would have been delighted by this situation. However, their hearts were heavy.
If Lucan, the number one sovereign in Earth Hwanmong, had died, they definitely would not be safe.
It was their turn next.
"Kikikik! Do you see it? Insignificant human sovereigns!"
The ratian lord flew towards Andras and the others.
At that moment...
Kang-jun, who had been lying stiffly on the ground, opened his eyes.
He staggered upwards.
"Ugh!"
Despite his terrible state, he was still alive.
Health: 821/2970.
Additionally, he still had 821 health left.
He had been in a state of shock from the unexpected explosion but now, he had woken up.
Kang-jun poured a health potion into his mouth and laughed bitterly.
'Will of Survival saved me. '
It was the new ability that appeared when Wings of Chaos reached Stage 2.
[Your health has dropped below 30%. ]
[Will of Survival has activated. ]
[Your physical and magic defense will increase significantly when Will of Survival is activated. ]
This was the reason.
It was precisely at the moment when his health had dropped to 891 points. The ability was automatically triggered even though Kang-jun himself wasn't conscious.
At that point, the impact of the explosion gradually decreased until the damage stopped at 821 points.
His defense had soared to offset the damage.
[An Aok has been found. ]
In this situation, he noticed an Aok that he couldn't detect from the sky. The impact of the explosion caused the dust to rise and reveal the hidden Aok.
Of course, the Aok was located in another space, so it wasn't visible.
Only a person who had a key would be able to see it.
A fiercely shining lock.
It had been buried in the ground and only just revealed itself.
'What is inside the Aok?'
However, now wasn't the time to wonder about that. He would think about the Aok after killing the ratian lord.
'My health is too low, so I have to fill it up. '
Snap!Snap!
As Kang-jun drank a potion, the ratian lord frowned.
"You didn't die in the explosion! Tough bastard. Then I will completely stop your breathing."
He immediately flew down to the ground where Kang-jun was and started attacking. The axe flew towards Kang-jun like a storm.
Sswing!Swi sswing!
Kang-jun immediately threw away the potion and defended.
'Shit!'
An advanced health potion would only restore 300 points of health.
However, he didn't drink it, so it couldn't be restored.
Health: 1021/2970.
Although it was over 1, 000 points, his body's movements were slow due to the explosion.
Kakang!Kakakaang!
He could barely defend, let alone fight back.
At that moment...
Agnus, who had been watching from the sky, descended and chanted a spell.
"Have strength, Lucan. Great Healing!"
Hwaaack!
A bright light poured from her staff and wrapped around Kang-jun.
Health: 1532/2970.
Surprisingly, more than 500 points of health were recovered at once. However, she didn't stop and kept using her magic until Kang-jun' health was full.
Health: 2970/2970.
Agnus had amazing recovery magic.
It was amazing, but it was also surprising that she didn't hesitate to use it on Kang-jun.
She was also wounded and bloody from the explosion but she used the magic on Kang-jun instead of herself.
In this unexpected situation, Agnus smiled at Kang-jun.
"Don't think too much. I am just following Rainkar's words."
In the Bloody Battlefield, be allies instead of being wary of each other!
Rainkar had spoken these words to them.
Kang-jun's heart filled with tenderness.
"I won't forget your help, Agnus."
Thanks to Agnus, his body was restored to his best condition.
Kakang!Chwack!Chwaack!
Kang-jun drove the ratian lord back once again and the ratian lord's body became covered in black blood.
"Keeeek!"
He staggered back and Kang-jun used Heavenly Cut.
Flash!Seokeok!
The ratian lord's right arm flew away again.
"Kuoock!"
However, this time, it wasn't restored like before.
"Y-you will see soon!"
The ratian lord started to quickly flee.
He had come down to the ground, sure of his victory. Now that he was at risk, he decided to escape.
However, the ratian lord wasn't allowed to fly away.
A flash instantly emerged from Kang-jun's sword.
'Heavenly Cut! Heavenly Cut!'
He aimed the skill at the ration lord in succession.
Chwaaaak!
Black smoke emerged from his broken body.
"Ohh! H-how vexing..."
The ratian lord wasn't able to fly anymore as his health had decreased.
Seokeok!
Kang-jun approached and swung his sword, causing the ratian lord to disappear.
[Your level has risen. ]
[Your level has risen. ]
[Your level has risen. ]
[Your level has risen. ]
He gained four levels in an instant.
[8, 402 nodes have been gained. ]
[123 small moonstones have been acquired. ]
[52 large moonstones have been acquired. ]
[You have earned 500 red moon achievement points. ]
[28 Essence of Darkness have been acquired. ]
[The ratian lord's silver box has been acquired. ]
[The ratian lord's golden box has been acquired. ]
[Mission 15 has been completed. ]
[As a reward, enough experience will be given to increase your level. ]
[15, 000 nodes have been given as compensation. ]
[60 large moonstones have been given as compensation. ]
When combined with the mission rewards, he gained five levels.
Thanks to that, Kang-jun was now Lv45.
He had become stronger.
Kang-jun laughed proudly.
'Huhu, I defeated a boss monster and gained 500 achievement points. '
Additionally, he gained two treasure boxes, one silver and one golden.
He wondered about what was in the boxes, but now wasn't the time to open them.
In the meantime, monsters were flocking in from all over the place.
At the same time, Agnus also gained a level.
She used a few recovery spells on Kang-jun, so she was acknowledged as contributing to the death of the ratian lord.
Additionally, Andras and the others dealt with the surrounding monsters while Kang-jun was facing the ratian lord. Therefore, they also gained a level.
When combined, Kang-jun gained five level, Agnus two levels and the rest one level.
So, everyone was in the best condition. They weren't afraid of the monsters flocking from all over the place.
However, Kang-jun screamed inwardly as he saw them approach.
'Damn! I wanted to try opening the Aok. '
However, now wasn't the right time.
"Lord level monsters are coming, so we should avoid them."
He could barely face one, let alone two.
"Yes, let's go back to the magic circle."
"I also think that as well."
Just as they were about to flee...
A familiar silhouette could be seen in the sky.
It was the commander who looked like a demon, Ligas.
Many troops were flying behind him.
He was leading his troops against the enemy.
The Second Demon King's monsters were frightened and started to flee.
"Pursue and kill them."
"Yes."
After seeing the minions of the Second Demon King running away, Andras and the others sighed with relief.
Ligas flew down after discovering Kang-jun.
"What are you doing here? Where is Rainkar?"
"He is now in a battle with the Second Demon King Colladikus."
Kang-jun briefly explained what happened. Ligas didn't look surprised to hear it.
In fact, Rainkar fought the Second Demon King at least once or twice a day.
Rather, he was more interested in the fact that Kang-jun had defeated the ratian lord.
'Even if the ratian lord was a lower ranked lord, it is amazing that he could kill him. He is a really amazing guy. As expected from the one Rainkar was keeping an eye on. '
However, unlike his inner thoughts, Ligas spoke with a cold tone.
"You are lucky. It isn't enough that you've lived through it this time. Once again, it is more important to learn how to survive than to be strong."
"I will keep that in mind."
Kang-jun nodded and Ligas spoke once again.
"Now, return to the magic circle. I will go to where Rainkar is."
"Yes. Ligas."
Ligas flew into the sky and quickly disappeared.
Andras also flew upwards.
However, Kang-jun didn't move. He was staring at the lock revealed on the ground.
"Aren't you joining us, Lucan?"
Agnus asked. Kang-jun nodded.
"I will return after exploring the terrain here a little bit more."
"Yes, then I am going."
She didn't ask twice. It was the same for Andras and the others.
They wanted to return to the safe area and leave as soon as possible.
Kang-jun then pulled a key out of his inventory and he placed it in the lock.
A new message appeared.
[Will you open the Aok? Yes/No]
