Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Demon King Cerato (1)

[Mission 22] Destroy 12 advanced lords, including the centaur lord and the basilisk lord.

[Compensation] Experience, 40,000 nodes, 1 Dimensional Piece

In this moment, Kang-jun received a mission and was filled with pleasure.

The missions always got more and more difficult.

This mission was obviously more difficult than the previous ones.

However, the degree of difficulty wasn’t a match for Kang-jun’s growth speed.

Kang-jun could literally complete it by raising one finger.

However, the compensation could never be ignored.

40,000 nodes was meaningless, but the Dimensional Piece was the most important item right now.

He could set up a warp point if he had one Dimensional Piece.

The experience was also a jackpot.

If he completed the mission, he would gain one level without exception.

Meanwhile, Cerato, the demon king, was watching Kang-jun. Although Kang-jun was very strong, this was still Cerato’s domain. He had no intention of leaving Kang-jun alone.

"What are you doing? Go ahead and attack this guy!”

There was a centaur lord, basilisk lord, golem lich and other advanced lords.

They surrounded Kang-jun at the command of their master, the demon king Cerato, but then they froze.

Paijijik!

It was due to the sword suddenly appearing above their heads.

The Leon Magic Sword!

As soon as blue lightning flashed from the sword, they fell into an incapacitated state, like a frog in front of a snake.

It wasn’t simply because it was a myth rated sword.

No matter how great a weapon was, they wouldn’t be afraid of a weapon.

It was because they felt a strong presence from the Leon Magic Sword.

Kang-jun was also surprised by the situation.

The current Leon Magic Sword was mounted with Kadiana’s Heart.

As a result, Kadiana’s ego was inhabiting the Leon Magic Sword.

If Kang-jun allowed it, she could move the sword using her will to attack the enemy.

He had wondered about the extent of her power.

However, he had assumed that Kadiana wasn’t as powerful as before. No, in actuality, all her abilities were concentrated in the Leon Magic Sword and it seemed to be even more powerful.

Chu chu chu! Pajijijik!

One end of the black sailboat’s deck shone with a blue light.

Pasususu.

The thirteen advanced lords couldn’t resist it and turned into dust.

[Experience has been gained.]

[14,203 nodes have been gained.]

[The Centaur Lord’s Heart (Legend) has been acquired.]

[11,873 nodes have been gained.]

[The Basilisk’s Spear (Legend) has been acquired.]

[The Basilisk’s Heavy Armour (Legend) has been acquired.]

[The Advanced Demon’s Heart (Legend) has been acquired.]

······

No silver or golden boxes dropped, but there were three advanced lord hearts and other legend ranked japtem dropped.

There were no moonstones or essences.

Of course, there weren’t any achievement points.

'The experience is almost nothing.’

He had removed 13 advanced lords, but his experience only increased by 0.1%. Now that his current level was 131, the advanced lords were just like lower grade monsters.

‘It is better to get chaos power in the future.’

It was better to only get experience when defeating demon kings.

However, a warm smiled flashed on Kang-jun’s face when the mission rewards came out.

[Mission 22 has been completed.]

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

[40,000 nodes have been given as compensation.]

[One Dimensional Piece has been given as compensation.]

In many ways, a mission was annoying.

He had the burden of being obliged to complete 100 missions.

However, now he was thankful for the missions.

Level up!

Thanks to that, he reached level 132.

Of course, the rise in power was enough to be negligible, but it was still good.

"Kuoh! Who are you?”

Cerato wasn’t in a normal state. He could feel a strong presence from the Leon Magic Sword and was afraid of Kang-jun.

He knew that if he was killed, there was a chance his heart would be mounted on a weapon.

On the other hand, Kang-jun hoped to receive a mission.

It was a mission to destroy the demon king.

Unfortunately, the difficulty wasn’t enough to cause another mission.

Kang-jun was so busy thinking that he gave Cerato a chance to summon a weapon.

'Destruction Scythe.’

Sususu.

Something dark red appeared in his right hand.

It soon changed into a long scythe.

The Destruction Scythe was the most powerful weapon Cerato had.

Body parts cut off by this scythe couldn’t be regenerated.

It was due to the aura of destruction in the scythe.

Once Cerato pulled out the Destruction Scythe, other demon kings would avoid him with a worried look.

If they were cut, the cut area would be unable to be regenerated forever. Particularly, if their head was cut off, they would die.

A few demon kings had died that way. It was the same for demons as well.

Cerato was a pirata notorious for surviving due to the Destruction Scythe.

Thus, he took it out now.

‘Kukuku! Stupid bastard! You should have killed me before I took out this weapon.’

Cerato waved the Destruction Scythe with a satisfied smile. He was determined to cut off Kang-jun’s head at once.

Seokeok!

However, it was Cerato’s right arm that was cut off. Kang-jun cut off Cerato’s right arm that was holding the scythe.

"Kuook!”

Cerato trembled. Kang-jun reached down and grabbed the Destruction Scythe from Cerato’s right arm with a nonchalant expression.

Kwaaack.

Cerato used his strength to try and stop the scythe from being taken, but Kang-jun punched him.

Suuk.

Kang-jun held the scythe in his hands.

[The Destruction Scythe (Myth) has been acquired.]

[Destruction Scythe]

-Rating: Myth

-The Destruction Scythe has powerful damage.

-Inflicts an irrecoverable blow to the enemy.

-The damage will greatly increase with Aura of Darkness.

"An irrecoverable blow?”

Kang-jun smiled and raised the scythe to Cerato’s neck.

Suuk.

"Whoah!"

Cerato trembled. Of course, Kang-jun could defeat him even if Cerato didn’t have his arm cut off.

However, Cerato didn’t understand that.

It was because the gap between him and Kang-jun was too much.

Kang-jun had broken through another limit during the defeat of the fire spirit queen Klater.

Before breaking the limit, he had a fighting power comparable to Colladikus. However, now he was confident that he could win against Colladikus.

Of course, he still hadn’t reached the status of transcendence.

Anyway, Cerato couldn’t imagine that Kang-jun wasn’t an ordinary person.

Kang-jun seemed to be swinging the scythe slowly, but it was beyond Cerato’s speed. He couldn’t follow it with his eyes.

Seuk.

Kang-jun stopped the sickle exactly 1mm from Cerato’s neck.

‘Kuook!’

Cerato couldn’t stop his moan.

He knew the power of the Destruction Scythe better than anyone else.

Upon immediately touching the skin, the destruction energy would stretch out and cut off his neck.

So, he couldn’t even speak and just sent Kang-jun a pleading expression.

(S-save me. I will do whatever you say.)

It would be irrelevant if he died.

He threw away his pride as a demon king and begged for his life.

Then Kang-jun’s expression became strange.

‘Look at this?’

In fact, Kang-jun intended to intimidate Cerato enough to gain some knowledge about the dimensional system and then kill him.

Did he have the power of a demon king?

Kang-jun had thought it was impossible to acquire him.

However, it didn’t seem so impossible now.

Maybe his 34 points of charisma was having an effect.

Of course, it might be unreasonable to take an evil demon king into his household. However, what was the difference when he had already accepted the demon, Heksia, and the dark mage, Driana.

Once someone joined the household, they had to obey Kang-jun’s orders unconditionally. Therefore, it was impossible for even a demon king to oppose him.

The ogre, Germuz, didn’t show the temperament of a predator anymore. He got along with Kajel and Rodiam when they would once have been enemies.

Therefore, the demon king would change once he joined his household.

In other words, the question was how to make a demon king join his household, not what came afterwards.

“Do you want to live? Then will you join my household?”

Kang-jun asked without removing the Destruction Scythe.

Then Cerato’s expression changed.

It was impossible for a demon king to join someone else’s household.

Of course, there might be an exception for supreme grade demon kings.

However, a demon king had their own pride.

It was a shame to be under the command of someone else.

Therefore, Cerato would rather die than join someone else’s household. He just had to shout to have his neck cut off.

However, now he felt something strange.

There was an unidentified existence in front of him, so he felt like his pride wouldn’t be hurt even if he joined the household.

‘C-crazy! Am I finally going crazy?’

He was obviously really crazy if he was thinking about joining a household.

However, he was seriously distressed.

(What is your identity?)

Kang-jun’s eyes flashed as he replied.

“I am Sovereign Lucan. I won’t kill you if you join my household. However, I will kill you as soon as you refuse. Originally, I don’t like demon kings.”

(Sovereign! Amazing. I never thought there would be a strong sovereign like you.)

"What will you do?”

(Then I have one condition. Promise that you won’t take away my property, including this ship. Of course, you must return the Destruction Scythe, then I will join your household.)

Kang-jun smiled and removed the Destruction Scythe.

“It isn’t a difficult condition. I’m not a sovereign who will take away the possessions of my household members.”

It was unfortunate since the Destruction Scythe was a myth ranked weapon, but it was worth it to have a demon king join his household.

Cerato would be using the Destruction Scythe, so it was worth it.

Cerato was surprised after Kang-jun accepted his conditions.

In fact, it couldn’t be helped even if Kang-jun didn’t accept the conditions. Thus, he was delightfully surprised when Kang-jun accepted without any worries.

“D-do you really promise?”

Cerato was now in a situation where he could speak freely.

“Of course. Take this weapon and your arm.”

After Kang-jun’s words, Cerato picked up his arm and placed it on his shoulder. Then the Destruction Scythe was handed to him.
