Chapter 120: Creating Spirits (1)
Aquana then approached Kang-jun and knelt down.
"I, Spirit Queen Aquana, will became a member of Sovereign Lucan's household. If you don't forsake me, my loyalty will be eternal."
With those words, she kissed Kang-jun's right hand.
Kang-jun nodded and said.
"The spirit queen, Aquana! From now on, you will become a member of my household and this place, the Freya Island, will be the home where you and your spirits can live."
"Lord, thank you for your consideration."
Aquana smiled brightly.
[The spirit queen Aquana has joined your household. ]
[Aquana is now your faithful subordinate. ]
[A spirit ruler has joined your household for the first time. ]
[Charisma has risen by one. ]
With that, he obtained a spirit ruler. Additionally, his charisma rose by one.
Good Luck: 13 (+3)
Charisma: 32 (+4)
His charisma was a huge 36 points. His good luck became 16 points thanks to the Lucky Tower which was built at the Delta building.
However, something unusual happened after Aquana joined Kang-jun's household.
Her body suddenly rose to the sky and water, that shone with a beautiful light, streamed around her.
Chwaaack- Swaaaack-
Rain started pouring down from the cloudless sky.
The rain continued until the entire island was wet.
Then after a while, the rain cleared to reveal something.
It was a huge female made of water and 100-meters-tall. She looked down at the island with a warm expression.
Of course, she was Aquana.
Soon, her height started reducing and she returned to her original size. She landed in front of Kang-jun and laughed brightly.
"After joining Lord's household, all my strength has come back. I thought it would take a long time, so this is amazing."
"That is one of the good things about joining my household."
Kang-jun smiled. This was a known phenomenon.
Anyone who joined Kang-jun would recover to their best condition.
They couldn't feel it when their condition was already good, but if they were like Aquana, who had been almost exhausted, it was a miracle-like phenomenon.
Kang-jun suddenly asked,
"That reminds me, did you see the fire spirit queen, Klater, in my wings?"
It would be nice if he could gain Klater as well. Aquana nodded.
"Of course. Klater and I have reconciled, but she seems to have lost her motivation for life and won't leave Lord's wings for a while. She is in a state of deep sleep."
"Then it can't be helped."
"However, if Lord finds a world similar to this place that is full of fire, she might wake up then. It will give Klater new hope."
Speaking of which, it had been the same for Aquana.
If Kang-jun hadn't found a place that had powerful water energywas strong in the energy of water, Aquana might have stayed asleep in his wings.
She wanted to create a new water spirit world!
That was what gave her energy.
Therefore, the fire spirit queen, Klater, may also gain hope if she saw a small world of fire.
The hope of making a new fire spirit world...
Kang-jun smiled.
'I will be sure to find such a world. It would be great if the fire spirit queen joins me. '
Anyway, he was inwardly gleeful that he had gained the water spirit queen.
In the near future, this place would turn into a spirit world.
Aquana, the spirit queen, would raise strong water spirits and become a powerful force.
This was a type of delegation.
It was just like delegating a building in Earth Hwanmong to Naga Queen Melinad.
The scale was just bigger.
In this case, he was delegating a small world.
It was literally a big delegation.
"Tell me if you need anything, I will give it to you."
Kang-jun asked Aquana what she needed.
"Right now, I need Essence of Water. If I have a lot of Essence of Water, I can create more water spirits."
Kang-jun instantly looked at Keirun.
"How many Essence of Water do we have?"
Keirun immediately replied.
"At present, we have over 80, 000 Essence of Water."
"80, 000?"
It wasn't all the essences combined, only the Essence of Water.
During the red moon period, Kang-jun hadn't raked in such a tremendous number of essences. Keirun just smiled and replied,
"I was also going to report this to Lord. The army commanders and sovereigns have sent nodes and essences as tribute. Additionally, it was the same for the bosses of the skyscrapers. They sent the tribute voluntarily, saying that they didn't want to become Lord's enemies. They will continue to offer a constant number of essences or nodes in the future."
"I see."
The situation made sense to Kang-jun now.
He was the absolute sovereign of Earth Hwanmong and it was similar to being an emperor.
Of course, Kang-jun wasn't an emperor who would exploit Earth Hwanmong. They were just afraid of Kang-jun and offered a tribute.
62, 765 Essence of Fire.
80, 787 Essence of Water.
140, 329 Essence of Earth.
118, 890 Essence of Wind.
32, 983 Essence of Abundance.
31, 893 Essence of Enchantment.
12, 229 Essence of Light.
23, 766 Essence of Darkness.
According to Keirun's report, he had over 500, 000 essences.
Originally, he would have used it to strengthen his wings but not anymore.
-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 8: 106984/5120000
500, 000 was nothing.
This was because it required more than five million essences to strengthen the wings.
It would be better to absorb chaos power through hunting.
Absorbing chaos power from monsters was worth dozens of essences.
Therefore, it was better to use the essences to summon troops or for buildings.
Kang-jun said to Aquana,
"Would 10, 000 essences be okay?"
Aquana replied with a pleased expression,
"That is enough."
"Keirun, give Aquana 10, 000 Essence of Water."
"Yes, Lord. Then I will go back to headquarters."
Keirun immediately built a warehouse at the base on Freya Island. After returning to the headquarters at the Delta building, the 10, 000 Essence of Water were sent to the base warehouse on Freya Island.
[10, 000 Essence of Water have arrived. ]
[They will be kept at the base warehouse. ]
Kangjun confirmed the message and pointed to the warehouse building inside the circle.
"There will be 10, 000 Essence of Water inside. Use them freely."
"Thank you, Lord."
Aquana entered the warehouse and took dozens of Essence of Water.
Then she gazed at Cerato who was behind Kang-jun. Cerato stared at Aquana with a smirk.
"I see that you are a demon king."
Cerato laughed.
"Kukuk! Why are you so surprised? I can't be the first demon king that you have seen."
"I have seen many revolting demon kings. If you were an enemy, you would have died at my hands."
Aquana's eyes were cold.
Spirit rulers and demon kings were originally existences that didn't get along.
This was because spirit rulers hated demon kings.
"That's what I wanted to do, but shouldn't we try to get along now that we are members of one family? I am Cerato."
"I am Aquana."
Aquana didn't like Cerato, but she didn't reveal her hostility to Cerato anymore.
She gazed at Kang-jun and declared,
"Lord, now is the crucial moment when spirits will be born. It won't be good to have a demon king here since he will affect the mentality of the spirits."
"Then it can't be helped. Cerato, return to your ship."
"Yes, Lord. Huhu, then I will be in the Shelter of Pleasure. The ship will be above the sea of clouds."
"Do so."
Kang-jun nodded and Cerato boarded his sailboat.
The sailboat flew up and disappeared into the sky.
Only Kang-jun and Aquana remained at the base on Freya Island.
"Then I will start, Lord."
Aquana walked out of the base and stopped in front of a nearby lake. She put down the Essence of Water on the short of the lake, held one in her hand and placed it in the water.
Hwaaak!
At that moment, a light emerged from her hand. Simultaneously, the Essence of Water started to soften.
"Low grade spirit! You are the first born. You are low grade, but it is okay. Please continue to grow."
Aquana said with a warm smile. Then it became a transparent blue fish and started to swim in the lake.
"A fish? Is that a spirit?"
Kang-jun asked and Aquana nodded.
"Yes, a low grade spirit has been born."
"Oh! Really?"
Kang-jun was surprised again. A spirit had been born from an Essence of Water.
So, 10, 000 essences would result in 10, 000 spirits!
It was a jackpot.
Kang-jun asked with an positive expression,
"Can low grade spirits grow into intermediate or advanced spirits?"
"That's not it. They live according to their determined fate."
"So, this spirit will remain a low grade spirit forever?"
"Of course, there are exceptions. However, it is a fortunate thing that only occurs a fraction of the time, so it is mainly fixed."
"I see."
In the meantime, Aquana released another Essence of Water into the water. This time, it was a larger fished shaped spirit.
"Hoho! An intermediate spirit."
Aquana clapped with delight.
"Congratulations. Is it that hard for intermediate spirits to come out?"
"Most of them are low grade spirits, although intermediate grade is still okay. The higher the grade, the lower the probability that they will be born."
"So, the probability that anything unusual will come out is low."
Kang-jun was quite interested, so Aquana looked over with a strange facial expression.
She then asked Kang-jun,
"Do you want to try it once?"
"Is that possible?"
"Yes, it isn't possible for anyone else, but maybe Lord can do it."
"Then I will give it a try."
Kang-jun had thought this was something only a water spirit queen could do, so he had simply been watching.
However, he wanted to try it once if it was possible.
This was the first time he had seen a water spirit being created from an essence.
Now, there was a chance he could do it himself.
Kang-jun picked up an Essence of Water and asked,
"Do I just release it in the water?"
"Wait a minute. That's not..."
Aquana hesitated for a moment, looking embarrassed. Kang-jun made a confused sound.
"Let me know. How do I do it?"
Then Aquana approached and kissed Kang-jun.
What was this? She suddenly kissed him?
Rather than human lips, he felt the texture of soft water. Wasn't it very refreshing?
However, it had the distinctive feeling of a kiss.
Why did she suddenly kiss him when he had asked for an explanation of how to create a spirit?
