The Rotas Battleship.
That’s what Kang-jun decided to call Rotas, the new member of his household, while he existed in the form of a ship.
After the Top Demon King Scolaris died, the 300 lord level monsters under his command also became Kang-jun’s.
There were 40 advanced lords and the remaining 260 people were low to intermediate level lords.
Kang-jun distributed them appropriately to Rotas and Cerato.
In the old days when Kang-jun’s level was low, he would accept people with good abilities into his household, but that time had passed.
He was staring at the realm of transcendence, so only those with the power of a demon king would enter Kang-jun’s household.
Therefore, it was very lucky that Germuz, the ogre, and Rodiam had joined in the early days.
Even now, Kang-jun looked at all his household members like family.
The interior of the Rotas Battleship wasn’t much different from a regular ship. The difference was that the interior could be changed at any time.
The inside was decorated with all types of precious gems from the dimensional system and it was enough to make a palace look shabby.
Particularly, in every cabin, treasures were piled up like mountains.
Scolaris was a notorious pirata that had stolen from all sorts of travelers and dimensional worlds. Of course, there were many things that he had gotten directly from monsters.
When Cerato joined, the condition he made had been that Kang-jun wouldn’t take any of his assets.
However, the treasures inside Rotas were spoils that belonged to Kang-jun after killing Scolaris:
320,678,098 nodes;
328,892 small moonstones;
179,992 large moonstones;
5,821 rare grade equipment;
1,202 hero grade equipment;
282 legend grade equipment;
More than 400,000 essences;
And other miscellaneous treasures.
Of course, 99% of the treasures consisted of miscellaneous items.
There were strange materials, paintings, books, jewels and so on, so he would look through them later.
Of course, it had a Shelter of Pleasure that Cerato was so proud of, but on a much larger scale. There was also a private resting place for Kang-jun.
With the exception of the miscellaneous treasures, Rotas reported everything else to him separately.
There was a huge 320 million nodes.
There was 10 times the number of nodes Kang-jun had at his headquarters in the Delta building.
Furthermore, the moonstones were a big hit!
It was understandable since this was the property of someone who called himself the Top Demon King.
Kang-jun placed all the moonstones into his inventory.
In the case of the moonstones, they were easy to store because they only occupied one space each, regardless of the number of small and large moonstones.
There were also the essences.
After becoming a supreme sovereign, the efficiency of his inventory had increased and he could keep the same type of items into the same inventory spot, just like with the moonstones.
Next up were various equipment.
Although the equipment were separated, it didn’t matter to Kang-jun.
This was because only myth grade items attracted Kang-jun’s attention now.
Even then, he only wanted myth grade equipment with an ego in them.
‘I can replace the equipment of my subordinates.’
If he sent it to the headquarters in Earth Hwanmong, Keirun would distribute the equipment. The power of his base would be strengthened.
Then Kang-jun’s eyes turned to a corner of the warehouse.
There were shelves that contained many miscellaneous treasures.
There were approximately 300 skillbooks shining with a colourful light.
[Dark Fire Explosion]
[Skyshatter Magic Bow]
[Demonic Dragon Spear Technique]
[Dark Brimstone Fire]
······
What is this? Did he put all the skills he learnt together?
It is Scolaris’ collection wall. In particular, he gathered rare skillbooks. There are many skillbooks left untouched just for the sake of collecting them.
No matter where he was on the ship, Kang-jun could ask a question and Rotas would reply. It was comfortable since the ship itself was Rotas.
This is a great hobby.
Kang-jun was delighted. However, he had no intention of collecting these skillbooks.
It was better to learn it all instead of saving it for the collection!
‘I should learn all of this.’
Kang-jun pulled down the skillbooks one by one.
[Dark Fire Explosion has been learnt.]
[Advanced fire knowledge has been acquired.]
After learning Dark Fire Explosion, a lot of things about magic started making sense.
This was because he had gained knowledge. It felt like he had been learning fire magic for a long time.
Kang-jun continued to learn skills from the skillbooks.
[Dark Brimstone Fire has been learnt.]
[Supreme knowledge of fire magic has been acquired.]
Supreme fire magic! The so-called Hellfire was the strongest magic attack. Due to this, he gained supreme knowledge.
[Skyshatter Magic Bow has been learnt.]
[Supreme knowledge about archery has been acquired.]
[Demonic Dragon Spear Technique has been learnt.]
[Supreme knowledge about the spear has been acquired.]
[Ultimate Prison Shield has been learnt.]
[Supreme knowledge of freezing magic has been acquired.]
In this way, he learnt approximately 300 skills.
Among them, there was the Aura of Fire skill.
After gaining earth, wind, water and darkness, the fifth one acquired was fire.
[Aura of Fire]
-Additional fire property damage will be added to all attacks.
-Magic damage will increase when using Aura of Fire.
-Consumes five black magic energy.
-Duration is 10 minutes
-Wind, fire, water and earth can’t be used simultaneously.
It temporarily boosted magic damage.
The most powerful attack magic were those with the fire attribute and this was enhanced even further with Aura of Fire.
Moreover, Kang-jun wasn’t bound by limitations of a skill.
In other words, if Kang-jun decided to use Aura of Fire, he could unleash Aura of Water and Aura of Wind simultaneously.
Kang-jun was near transcendence, so he was free from those constraints.
‘I finally learnt all the skills.’
There were only four books left.
They were the Auras of Earth, Water, Wind and Darkness that Kang-jun had learnt previously. He would leave them behind for decoration.
‘By the way, I don’t know if I will even use these skills.’
In fact, Kang-jun only learnt them for self-satisfaction since there was no difference in his attack power.
His abilities had already exceeded the power of the skills he just learnt.
Still, it was something to be proud of.
Particularly, it was good to get a lot of knowledge.
Studying this knowledge would help expand Kang-jun’s horizons and assist in reaching the realm of transcendence.
Additionally, the various miscellaneous abilities would be a great help to improve the conveniences of everyday life.
For example, the magic circle.
Previously, it had only been possible to use Return Teleport. However, now he was able to draw portals.
Of course, it wasn’t possible in the dimensional sea. However, it would be very exciting for worlds like Earth and Freya Island.
While Kang-jun was learning the skills, Rotas was looking for piratas near Earth Hwanmong.
Most piratas avoided Scolaris, so Rotas needed to figure out where they were hiding.
Most of the piratas were demon kings.
Of course, there were also piratas among dragons and other species, but they weren’t seen near Earth Hwanmong.
So, Kang-jun found 13 pirata demon kings.
Among them, seven were killed by Kang-jun while the other six joined his household.
No matter how high Kang-jun’s charisma was, not everyone wanted to join him.
There were demon kings who cursed and ridiculed Kang-jun.
The ending of those guys was obvious.
Kang-jun never asked twice.
The seven dead demon kings dropped Dimensional Pieces, hearts and various myth grade weapons.
Their ships were absorbed by Rotas.
Rotas’hull became even bigger.
Additionally, the lord grade households they possessed were entrusted to the demon kings in Kang-jun’s household, while the treasures were placed in Rotas’ warehouse.
Of course, Kang-jun didn’t touch the properties of the newly joined demon kings.
As a result of this, Kang-jun had eight demon kings under his command.
Eight battleships!
However, the other battleships were tiny compared to Rotas and their speed was very slow.
Therefore, when moving, the battleships of the demon kings were attached to the Rotas Battleship. Rotas changed the structure of the hull and accepted the ships naturally.
This didn’t affect Rotas’ speed at all.
Right now, Kang-jun’s number one property in the dimensional sea was definitely Rotas. Of course, Rotas wasn’t an item owned by a demon king.
Lord, there are no more piratas near Earth Hwanmong. Where do you want to go now?
Rotas asked.
I am going to Top Dragon Shakan’s camp now. Do you know the headquarters?
Kang-jun decided to listen to Aquana’s advice.
He was reluctant to become involved in a war between two transcendent beings in Pavaria Station.
However, it couldn’t be helped since Colladikus was protected by the Top Demon King Keljark.
Kang-jun wasn’t transcendent, so he had to prepare for the worst.
Rotas replied,
I don’t know where the headquarters for Top Dragon Shakan is. The place is thoroughly hidden, so even people in Shakan’s camp don’t know the location.
Then is there no way to go there?
If you go to one of Shakan’s bases, there is no need to go to the headquarters. Shakan has many bases.
Shakan’s base?
Yes, there are a large number of people who belong to Shakan’s camp. A warp point I remember is very close to one of Shakan’s bases.
Rotas remembered a total of 378 warp spots in Pavaria Station.
Okay. Then move there.
Yes, Lord.
A radiant light enveloped the hull of the Rotas Battleship.
Hwaaack!
Rotas disappeared and reappeared again in a place that was above the purple clouds.
Nothing seemed different. However, they had moved from one end of the vast Pavaria Station to the other end.
Such a warp consumed a large amount of dimensional power, so it couldn’t be used again for a while.
Of course, one Dimensional Piece could refill the energy instantly.
However, it was a waste to use the Dimensional Pieces in such a manner. It was only useful in emergencies.
Now, Shakan’s base is only a short distance from here.
Rotas advanced quickly through the sea of clouds.
The bright light before them was Shakan’s base.
After some time…
The light started to expand.
Dozens of ships appeared and surrounded the Rotas Battleship.
Most of the ships were smaller than Rotas but there was a warship so big that it made Rotas look small.
A very remarkable presence could be felt.
A woman looked down at them from the sky.
She was riding a stingray.
Kang-jun realized that the monster was an anomaloria, something he had only heard about until now.
To his surprise, the atmosphere felt from the woman was no less than Rainkar or Colladikus.
