Chapter 585: Chapter 584 - Material Superiority 1

What Junhyuk was seeing changed. He had returned to Ariel’s room, and she clapped when she saw him.

[Congratulations!]

“Thanks.”

The allies had barely won, and Junhyuk hadn’t counted how many times he had died.

“Whew! Am I a legend now?”

[Since you’ve won the tournament, you are, but you won’t get your legend benefits until after your fight with the previous legendary team.]

“Really?”

Junhyuk was anxious for that match, and he had high hopes of defeating the legends. It would be his revenge match.

“What happened to their items?”

[The legendary items?]

“Bebe is selling them.”

[Their items became set items, but what Bebe is selling are replicas. The legends still own the originals.]

Junhyuk frowned a bit at that. He had a few of the set items, so he knew how powerful they were as a set. The full sets would be overwhelming.

He would get his revenge match, but should just be happy about it yet.

“I thought the legends would be fighting in their own tournament.”

[I don’t have the results from that yet. I’m just a low-ranking member of the administration team.]

“Really?”

Junhyuk seemed calm about it, so Ariel smiled at him and said, [I have your reward.]

“How much is it?”

[It’s 5,000,000G.]

“Whoa! That’s a lot!” Junhyuk had died many times, but now, he could replace his items with new ones. “That’s a relief.

There was no reason for him to refuse all that gold, so he took it.

“When do I fight the former legends?”

[The battle will take place four weeks from today.]

“I have four weeks?!”

[Yes.]

After thinking about it, Junhyuk asked, “OK. Is the Champions’ Battlefield still active?”

[Yes. Are you betting on Ling Ling?]

“What are the odds?”

[Ling Ling is on a streak and has many victories, so the returns are set to 45 percent.]

Junhyuk smacked his lips and said, “I’ll bet 2,000,000G on her.”

[Your bet has been placed.]

“Then, see you later.”

Junhyuk closed his eyes, and the blinding light pounded against his lids. When he opened them back up, he saw that Sarang and Elise was already awake.

The three of them cheered loudly.

“Victory!”

Sarang ran up to him and gave him a tight hug, and Elise did the same.

“You did well.”

“But you died too many times.”

“The victory reward is significant, so I’ll get more items.”

“So, we’ll fight a month from now?”

“Yeah, and they’ll have all of their old items. They all have full sets.”

Sets increased in power with each items added to it. The legends would have their full sets, so the allies would have to do their best.

Helen and Eunseo were still sleeping. Would they be of any help during the fight with the legends?

“I feel bad.”

“About what?”

“Kaigel could really help. I wish we had someone like him.”

“Sure.”

Everyone wanted to become stronger. The allies had met a champion with an imprisoning power in their previous time, and in the fight against Artlan’s team, they had met Kaigel.

A power like that could really change the flow of battle. Helen had her own restraining powers, so she could definitely help.

“We should make use of the people we already have.”

Junhyuk sighed heavily and said, “There’ll be a monster wave today, so we should prepare for it.”

Sarang’s eyes beamed, and she replied, “We should take a vacation after the monster wave!”

“A vacation? To where?”

“Somewhere warm.”

He smiled and asked, “Egypt?”

“Somewhere with an ocean.”

“Right. After we stop the wave.”

Sarang turned to Elise and asked, “Are you going to your lab?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll go with you.” She turned back to Junhyuk and added, “See you later.”

Both Sarang and Elise left, so Junhyuk contacted Artlan. The hero was drinking, and when he saw Junhyuk, he smirked.

“Are you showing off that you won?”

“No. We have a monster wave today, but after that, I’ll invite you over.”

“Yeah? Call me after you finish your business.”

“Definitely!”

Junhyuk had won against Artlan, but that had been in the Dimensional Battlefield. He wasn’t confident at all that he could take Artlan on in a real fight. Artlan was still his teacher to him.

He inspected the Harmonizer within his body. Junhyuk had died three times, so the purity of the Harmonizer had changed, and it was now flowing softly within him.

He summoned his swords and swung them around lightly. He was still playing with them when Helen and Eunseo woke up.

When he saw that, he sheathed them and walked toward the women. Helen bowed to him and said, “I’m sorry. I was so embarrassed by that champion.”

“Helen, you are powerful, and your powers might continue to evolve.”

She sighed, and Junhyuk said, “Soon, the monster wave will trigger. Prepare yourself.”

“Of course!”

Helen left, and Junhyuk turned to Eunseo. He smiled at her and said, “After the monster wave, we’ll take a vacation.”

“A victory vacation?”

“Yes.”

“Where are we going?”

Junhyuk took a moment to think before saying, “I have a place in mind, but we need to stop the wave first.”

“OK. I’ll go get ready.”

Eunseo left, and Junhyuk finally exited the training facility. The wave would trigger soon, so he had to focus on that.

Junhyuk went to see Elise. She could detect the precise location of where the monster waves would spawn, which would help him tremendously now that he could teleport to anywhere in the world.

She smiled at him and said, “Welcome!”

“Where will the monster waves take place?”

“Well… I’m curious about that myself.”

Soren had already appeared to check him out, and the manager was trying to have another champion evolve into a hero, so he might be able to trigger waves where Junhyuk wouldn’t be able to reach.

Junhyuk didn’t know much about where that could be.

Zaira would inform them once a dimensional tear appeared, so while they waited, Elise kept working on crafting an item with magic engineering. Sarang, who was also there, seemed to be making a magical artifact.

Elise could craft things using the cores and shoot magic. By contrast, Junhyuk had energy comparable to two cores within him, but he couldn’t even imagine the things those two women crafted and how helpful they were to humanity.

Junhyuk planned to teleport and halt the waves, but other than that, he had no other purpose.

He sat down and activated Harmonizer. He closed his eyes, and some time later, he heard Elise’s voice. Junhyuk thought it had only been a short while, but quite a bit of time had passed.

Elise was frowning.

“This isn’t child’s play.”

Junhyuk looked at the monitor and smacked his lips.

“The tears are opening in sequence, and there are too many of them.”

There were a total of twelve hundred tears around the world. If the monster that came out were weak, humanity would be able to deal with them, but Junhyuk was sure that Soren had sent strong monsters.

“There is nothing overwhelming, but they have the numerical advantage.”

He planned his course of action and said, “Tell me about the biggest tear.”

Large monsters were capable of crossing the largest tears, so Elise told him about three tears.

“These three here.”

“Did they open up at the same time?”

“Yes. Where will you go first?”

Junhyuk chose the tear in Cairo, Egypt, and Elise said quickly, “You can do it!”

“Of course. I’m off now.”

Eath’s technology had progressed, and now there were many iron soldiers and powered people assigned to different countries. Soren just wanted one more hero.

Junhyuk input the coordinates and teleported. He appeared right below the tear and summoned his swords.

Waves of monsters were coming out of the tear, but what would happen if he went through it?

Junhyuk thought about it for a moment, but shook his head soon after. He was stronger now, but crossing into a tear would be a bad idea. But, what if he closed the tear?

While the dimensional tear was active, Junhyuk readied his Dimensional Slash. Once ready, he sliced through the tear.

Craaaack!

The tear shattered, and Junhyuk cheered loudly. He had to move quickly to destroy more tears.

He contacted Elise and asked, “What kind of monsters are showing up?”

“Chimeric, and a lot of them.”

“He’s going with numerical superiority. I’ll move on to the next tear.”

Junhyuk teleported and saw monsters that looked like twin-headed ogres with wyvern wings. An enormous amount of them were exiting the tear.

Junhyuk had to wait for his Dimensional Slash to come off cooldown, so he decided to kill the chimeras first. Dentra’s Magic Sword released a wind blade, and that wind blade turned into hundreds of smaller wind blades.

Slash!

The hundreds of wind blades zoomed through the air, slicing the chimeras in their path. Junhyuk didn’t stop there, however. As the chimera feel, he used his Dimensional Slash again.

“I have to do this twelve hundred times.”
