They did not see any enemies while destroying the second tower. When they started heading to Bebeâs, Junhyuk was still giving Gongon a piggyback ride. He had already told Sarang to meet them at the merchant.
Junhyuk got there fast, and looked around the dimensional merchantâs portal for enemies. He didnât spot anyone, so he went inside.
Sarang had gotten there before them, and she was looking over wares. When Bebe saw Junhyuk and Gongon, he waved at them.
âCome in.â
They walked toward the Yeti. Gongon stood on the counter and pulled out his equipment to sell so that Bebe could start appraising it.
âHm. You have some good stuff here.â
âRight?â
Bebe started pricing each of them. The items were mostly bracelets, and Junhyuk was shocked by the prices he heard being called.
âThis is 300,000G. This is 250,000G. This is 350,000G, and Iâll give you 500,000G for this one.â
Junhyuk interjected on the trade.
âCan I see them as well?â
Bebe shrugged and showed him the items, and Junhyuk took them to inspect. The dragons had made those items, and a lot of them had magical benefits.
Junhyuk spotted something special, and Bebe had priced it at 250,000G.
âThis is 250,000G, right?â
âRight,â Bebe said matter-of-factly.
Junhyuk turned to Gongon and asked, âAre you selling these for the other dragons?â
âCorrect.â
âHow much money do you have?â he asked Sarang.
âMe? About 300,000G.â
Then, Junhyuk asked Gongon, âCan you sell this one to Sarang?â
âWhat?â
âYou can charge her 270,000G for it.â
Without thinking about it, Gongon said, âSince you are paying me more, I have no reason to refuse. Sure.â The dragon looked at Sarang and added, âBy the way, this item fits her well.â
Junhyuk gave her the bracelet and said, âCheck this out. Itâs a nice fit for you.â
Sarangâs eyes widened after inspecting it.
âThis is 270,000G?!â
âThereâs no discount even if weâre on the same team.â
She was willing to pay 270,000G for an item priced at 250,000G to sell, and Junhyuk wanted her to have the bracelet since it had some great boosts.
It boosted electric attribute powers by 5 percent, and it also boosted health. She didnât have any items that increased her health, so this was a must for her.
It was rather cheap since it only had two stat boosts, and Junhyuk was reminded of when she had bought the orb.
Sarang was trading the bracelet with Gongon while Bebe watched, and the Yeti said, âTrading among champions isnât bad, but you shouldnât do it in front of me.â
Junhyuk felt bad, but he calmly said, âWe didnât know the price. In any event, money will flow into your store.â
As everyone gathered gold, gold would eventually make its way to the merchant. That was the only place to spend it.
Looking at him, Bebe shrugged.
âDo you want anything?â
âDid you get any Pure Golden Knight set items?â
âNo.â
Junhyuk smacked his lips and asked, âDo you have any remaining Vampire Lord set item?â
âSure, I have them.â
Junhyukâs eyes beamed, and Bebe smiled.
âWhen new legends are made, only champions can buy the items at first. But usually, champions donât have enough money.â
Junhyuk agreed. They cost around 2,000,000G each.
Bebe shrugged and asked, âDo you need anything else?â
After some thought, Junhyuk said, âAnders Tribe candy, I need ten.â
âCandy? You want candy?!â
âIâll save them to eat later.â
Bebe said uncaringly, âItâs your money. You donât have to give me any excuses.â
Junhyuk took ten pieces of Anders Tribe candy, and placed them inside his Spatial Bag. Bebe watched him, then turned to Sarang and Gongon.
âOK. Are you going to sell me the rest?â he asked.
Gongon nodded, and Bebe finalized the calculations.
âA total of 1,150,000G.â
Gongon often made between 1,000,000G to 2,000,000G, and Junhyuk felt very inadequate. He was already making an incomparable amount of money to before and he had even bought ten pieces of candy.
Gongon made his own calculations and said, âGive me 500,000G worth of Anders Tribe candy, and do you have any Kali set items?â
âI have a ring. Are you buying it?â
Gongon nodded and purchased it. Gongon had tiny clawed arms, and one of his thick claws now had a ring around it. He looked very cute.
âAh!â
Sarang hugged him, and Gongon hit her hands with his tail.
âIâm still trading.â
Gongon was buying a lot of candy, and it would take a while. Bebe dumped the candy into Gongonâs Spatial Bag and said, âOK. Do you need anything else?â
âNo.â
Junhyuk looked at the group. Sarang didnât have anything to trade, and he had only bought ten pieces of candy, but he would buy other things next time. Junhyuk couldnât earn as much money in the Championsâ Battlefield since he only got 3,000G per enemy he killed, so he couldnât buy a 2,000,000G item.
However, the reward this time would be a gold bag, and he didnât know how much he would get.
Gongon asked, âWhat do we do now?â
âWe can force ourselves forward.â
Junhyuk had to protect Sarang, but they had enough strength to bring the enemy castle down as long as she didnât die meaninglessly.
âLetâs go to the enemy castle.â
The allies picked up the pace. They were stronger than during their previous team battle and they wanted to keep things going. At first, the difference had been small, but allied advantage was snowballing, so they had to continue.
Once they got to the front of the castle, they saw Kraken and Nid at the gate. Kilraden was standing on the castleâs parapet.
The enemies had a plan of their own for the team battle. They meant to use the archers up on the wall, but the archers wouldnât make much of a difference. The allies could attack from long range, and they could kill Nid with the flick of a finger.
Nid kept shaking constantly, trying to avoid any critical hits, and Junhyuk laughed at him. He wouldnât be able to shake like that during the battle, so Junhyuk gripped the Blood Rune Sword tightly and looked at the allies.
âLetâs start.â
âI donât want to wait. Letâs go now!â Gongon said excitedly, and Junhyuk smiled and started running.
Kilraden was still on the castleâs parapet, but Kilraden could teleport, so the allies had to be careful of him.
Junhyuk had taken the lead, and Gongon had followed him, but suddenly, Gongon started running ahead of him.
Junhyuk didnât have a chance to ask about Gongonâs new item, and the set bonuses were usually massive boosts.
Junhyuk looked at Sarang. She was preparing to cast Thunderstorm.
He turned to Nid. The elidraâs powers had a lot of utility. He could rush and stun.
While running toward them, Nid was still shaking his head. Nid was very aware of Junhyuk, but Junhyuk didnât care. He inhaled deeply and accelerated. Time passed slowly, and he saw Nid shaking his head in slow motion.
Junhyuk accelerated even more, and Nid started moving like a turtle. Thatâs when he used the Spatial Slash on the champion.
âUgh!â
Nid had been shaking his head, but the sword penetrated his neck all the same, and Nid lost 55 percent of his health all at once. However, he was still running. Nid started to spin, and Gongon ran toward him. Gongon had transformed, and he wanted to finish the fight.
Boom!
Gongonâs headbutt normally dealt heavy damage to Kraken, so with a single hit, Nid started fading.
Junhyuk looked aroundâ¦
[Gongon killed Nid.]
⦠but Kilraden was not there. Junhyuk had set Sarang in front of him and said, âThe Thunderstorm might not work on Kilraden, so use it on Kraken.â
âSure.â
Junhyuk thought Kraken would come after him.
Gongon ran toward Kraken, but Kraken headbutted the hatchling first. The dragon couldnât stop Kraken with his two short arms and got pushed back. Kraken then grabbed the jettisoned Gongon and threw him in the opposite direction.
Junhyuk hadnât raised the force field, so Kraken threw Gongon toward the castle wall. He hadnât had time and he whispered softly, âI must rescue Gongon.â
Sarang ran forward, and he followed her lead. They couldnât see Kilraden, so he had to be hiding. The champion could show up at any time, but where and when would he?
Kilraden appeared right in front of Sarang and tried to stab her neck. Junhyuk had been expecting him from behind, so there was nothing he could do about the first hit, but he raised the force field around her immediately after.
Kilraden bounced off, and she cast an electric blast. Kilraden tried to teleport, but the electric blast was so fast that it hit just before he could. Then, Sarang pointed her orb forward. She was furious and she wouldnât let Kilraden live.
Craaaack!
The lightning bolts hit the champion, and Kilraden lost a lot of his health. Then, Sarang touched her ring once and pointed her orb forward again.
Craaaack!
A Thunderstorm combo. She had cast it twice in a row, and Kilraden faded.
[Sarang killed Kilraden.]
Junhyuk remembered the ringâs power. She could only use it once a day, but how many champions would be able to withstand two Thunderstorms? Even heroes couldnât survive her attack.
Junhyuk grabbed her and teleported. Sarang was breathing heavily from anger, and as she stood in front of Kraken, she pointed her orb forward. Kraken had watched Sarang pulverize Kilraden, and now, scared, he couldnât move.
But, she was pointing her orb for a different reason. From the sky, light green powder fell on her, Gongon and Junhyuk, and they all recovered their healths. Sarang had 86 percent of her health now, and the allies would win for sure.
Gongon ran toward Kraken and shouted, âYou are so dead now!â
