Dimensional Sovereign-Chapter 119
Chapter 119: Demon King Cerato (2)
Then Cerato made an even more astonished expression.
Even though Cerato could attack again, Kang-jun had given the Destruction Scythe back!
He thought it would be returned after he became a household member.
However, those were just Cerato’s thoughts.
Kang-jun wasn’t stupid enough to create a situation he couldn’t deal with.
In other words, if Cerato showed even the slightest of movements, Kang-jun would throw him away. It was very easy for him, which is why he returned the Destruction Scythe.
However, Cerato didn’t know this and was impressed.
He fell to his knees and pushed the Destruction Scythe forward.
“I, Demon King Cerato, will, from now on devote my loyalty to Sovereign Lucan. This is an indication of my loyalty, so please accept it.”
Cerato offered Kang-jun the Destruction Scythe.
[The demon king, Cerato, has joined your household.]
[Cerato is now your faithful subordinate.]
[You have acquired a demon king for your household for the first time.]
[Charisma has risen by one.]
Thus, he gained a demon king as a subordinate.
Additionally, his charisma rose by one.
Suuk.
Kang-jun received the Destruction Scythe easily. There was no reason to reject the sign of loyalty, especially when it was a myth grade weapon.
“Okay. I will accept your sincerity. But if you give me this, what are you going to use as a weapon?”
Cerato laughed.
"It doesn’t matter since there are several weapons that I can use.”
Cerato took out another scythe-shaped weapon from his space.
One side of the weapon was slightly shorter, so it was better to call it a sickle than a scythe.
It was a myth grade weapon that shone with an eerie red light! The attack power seemed more powerful. It just didn’t have the ability to stop regeneration like the Destruction Scythe.
"That is a fairly usable weapon.”
Kang-jun nodded and put the Destruction Scythe in his inventory.
Cerato exclaimed vigorously,
"Please tell me if there is anything you need, Lord!”
“Knowledge of the dimensional system.”
“Huh? Knowledge?”
"Today is the first time that I’ve left Earth Hwanmong. So, I am lacking knowledge about this place. I don’t know everything.”
Cerato smiled like he knew what Kang-jun meant.
“Kuhuhu! If you want knowledge about this place, then you’ve come to the right person. As a pirata, what place haven’t I gone to? If you have any questions, just ask me. I’ll tell you everything.”
“Okay. What are those things that look like stars?”
“They are sub-dimensional worlds of the big dimensions. We call this place, with the dimensional sea, the big dimension and those star-like things, the small dimensions. Earth Hwanmong that Lord came out of is also a small dimension.”
"I see.”
Of course, Kang-jun had already guessed this, but he had a clearer understanding after hearing Cerato’s explanation.
"Some of them are in a fixed position and some are in motion. What is the difference?”
They didn’t move in a certain direction like a meteor but back and forth like a star.
Kang-jun wondered what these, in particular, were.
Cerato responded with a smile.
"The fixed ones are the moderately large-scale worlds, including Earth Hwanmong. The ones that are moving are very small worlds.”
"Small worlds?”
“Yes, many are approximately the size of this sailboat.”
"Then it is better to call it a space, rather than a world.”
"However, it is an independent world, so it is separated from the space. It is a small space, but it contains all the conditions necessary for life. That one over there, if you stop by it, you’ll understand what I mean.”
As he spoke, he pointed towards the nearest world.
"Let's move the ship to that world, Lord.”
The nearest shining world wasn’t in a fixed location and was moving back and forth.
"Is that small world the size of a sailboat?”
"I don’t know. We won’t know how big it is until we open the door of the dimension. We should go inside.”
Kang-jun was interested, so he nodded.
“Okay, let’s go.”
"It will take some time. It may look close, but it is relatively far away. It can’t be helped even though this ship is quite fast.”
Then another question popped into Kang-jun’s head.
"Do you know where to find an anomaloria?”
"I don't know about them. They are rare and are a long distance from here.”
Cerato scratched his head with a look of regret. His expression showed that he was telling the truth.
Then he suddenly smiled and said,
"Anyway, it will take a while, so you should see my ship.”
"See the ship?”
Kang-jun couldn’t see anything other than black sails and a spacious deck. Then Cerato guided Kang-jun to a stairway leading down from the deck.
"If you go down, there is something to see.”
“Really?”
Kang-jun went down with Cerato.
There was a stunning scenery under the deck.
Bright lights were shining brilliantly.
There was a table full of drinks and alcohol that were as colourful as jewels, a variety of dishes and fruits and several rooms that looked like hotel rooms. There were even huge baths reminiscent of hot springs.
The one thing in common was that there were half-naked beauties all over the place. They played the harp, danced and sang.
"What is this?”
"Kuhuhu, one of my assets is a Shelter of Pleasure. I usually spend time here unless I need to fight.”
"These females?”
"They are demons who are maids in my household. I gathered them with much difficulty while traveling the dimensions. Rather than fighting, they have excellent abilities in singing, dancing, cooking and pleasing a man.”
Demons? They all seemed to have big appetites.
‘A resting place for a demon king.’
Just like the name implied, it was a place for pleasure.
There were hundreds of beautiful female demons.
Even in ancient times, emperors could choose between hundreds of females, so it wasn’t strange for a demon king to be like this.
Cerato grinned with a proud expression.
"Kuhuhu, please enjoy this Shelter of Pleasure. Lord can take any demon that you like. This is my sincerity.”
"Thanks for your sincerity, but there is no need.”
Kang-jun climbed back onto the deck. The females were quite beautiful, like succubi, but Kang-jun didn’t think there was anything strange about not wanting them.
He had just come out to the dimensional system, so he couldn’t spend the time rolling around with female demons.
Cerato followed after Kang-jun.
In the meantime, the sailing boat had gotten much closer to the small world.
It didn’t seem to be moving very fast, but he could see the speed as he got closer.
Cerato’s sailboat caught up with it very nicely.
Then after a moment...
[The new world, Freya Island, has been discovered.]
[Freya Island is a world without a guardian, so you can enter it.]
[You have entered Freya Island.]
The sea of clouds disappeared.
Strictly speaking, rather than the dimensional sea disappearing, it was Cerato’s sailboat that had entered the small-scale world known as Freya Island and the sea had disappeared from sight.
However, the scenery that unfolded then was completely different from the battlefield of Earth Hwanmong.
Purple clouds shone in the blue sky and the sun was shining down.
Below, there was a big island surrounded by an emerald sea that was the size of Jeju Island when viewed from above.
“That is Freya Island? It is quite big for an island.”
Then Cerato pointed to the island and said,
"That island is the entire world here.”
"Entire? What about the sea?”
“Other than the sea and the island, there is nothing else.”
“Hrmm.”
So, it was like that. Outside of the coast of the island, the sea disappeared like a mirage.
'This is a very unusual place.’
It wasn’t a place that could be understood using the common sense of Earth.
It was just like how the common sense didn’t apply to Hwanmong or the big dimensions.
So, Kang-jun simply accepted it.
It was now familiar to accept bizarre things was they were.
Frankly, Kang-jun had the ability to suppress a demon king with one finger, so there was no need to make a fuss about things like this.
When he came down to the island, he felt a strong vitality from the fresh air.
The island had a few lakes and it seemed like half of the island was made of water.
There were various rock cliffs and all types of wonderful plants.
They were plants that couldn’t be seen on Earth. Should he create a house here?
Then an unusual message appeared in front of him.
[Freya Island is a newly created small-scale world rich in mana and vitality.]
[As a supreme sovereign, you can build a base here.]
[Once the base is built, Freya Island will become your territory and will connect with your other bases through a portal.]
[Are you sure you want to build a base?]
[One Dimensional Piece will be consumed.]
“What is this? I can build a base here?”
Kang-jun asked and Cerato nodded.
"It's a special ability that only sovereigns have. Once you build the base, it will be linked to Earth Hwanmong and reinforcements can be sent through a portal in case of an emergency.”
"Do I need to bother building a base here?”
It was just like living on an empty island.
Sometimes, he would like to rest and enjoy the scenery, but that wasn’t worth consuming a rare Dimensional Piece.
Then Cerato said,
"Still, there is no guarantee that you will find another early world like this. Most of the small worlds are old and have owners.”
“Hrmm.”
"It is always useful to build a base. In particular, there aren’t many places with such a strong vitality.”
Kang-jun was somewhat convinced by Cerato’s words. Anyway, Dimensional Pieces were still available, so he decided to set up a base as a test.
‘Yes! Construct.’
[A base is being built on Freya Island.]
[The base on Freya Island has been completed.]
The base was completed in the blink of an eye.
A protective circle approximately 100 metres in radius was created with a portal in the centre.
Chuoot!
After the portal was created, someone popped out of it.
It was his military adviser Keirun.
“Lord!”
"Keirun, why did you come?”
"Haha, this is a new base, so how can I not come? I was just about to report that I built the Lucky Tower on the Delta building. However, where is this place?”
Keirun had never left his Hwanmong, so he didn’t know what a small world was.
Kang-jun explained briefly and introduced Cerato who was next to him.
"I will introduce the both of you. This is my military adviser, Keirun, and this is the demon king, Cerato."
Keirun’s eyes widened after hearing a demon king had joined Kang-jun’s household. Then he said with a laugh,
"Welcome to Lord’s household. I am the military adviser, Keirun.”
“Demon King Cerato.”
Cerato nodded and gave a short reply. He had no interest in anyone except his own lord, Kang-jun.
Keirun made an awkward expression, but he didn’t mind. This was always the reaction when someone first joined. However, eventually, they would become familiar with each other.
He gazed towards Kang-jun and said,
"Then I will build a base warehouse and various defense facilities here. It would also be nice to send troops occasionally.”
"Do that. I have some concerns about how to use this place.”
"I'll worry about that part."
Keirun was fascinated by the place called Freya Island. His intuition as an advanced military adviser convinced him that this was an important place.
Chuuot!
It was at that moment...
Suddenly, there was a flash of blue light from Kang-jun’s wings and that light turned into a woman.
It was the water spirit queen, Aquana.
In the past, she had hazy blue skin, but now, there was a mysterious blue.
Her two eyes glowed as she took in the beautiful view.
"Yawn, I slept well."
She stretched and breathed in the air with a pleasant smile, like she was enjoying the environment.
She looked over at Kang-jun. Looking at Kang-jun, her gaze was more gentle than before. There was also some awe.
Perhaps it was the effect of Kang-jun’s charisma going up.
“Sovereign Lucan, I regained some strength thanks to you. I really appreciate it.”
"I am glad that you regained some power.”
"In the meantime, I have been thinking about your offer while sleeping.”
She was referring to Kang-jun’s proposal to join his household. Her eyes gleamed mysteriously.
"It doesn’t fit my personality to join someone else’s household, but I think it is okay if it is Lucan.”
Kang-jun was delighted.
"Does that mean you will join my household?”
"If you give me this place, I will join your household.”
"Can I ask why you want this place?”
Aquana replied with expectation in her eyes,
"The mana and health are overflowing, so this is a good place for spirits to be born. If you allow me to, I will make this a world of spirits.”
“Okay, I will allow it.”
Kang-jun nodded easily.
