Before going to the battlefield, everyone gathered in his training facility. Junhyuk had invited Gongon and Layla as well. The next battle would make them true legends, so everyone was nervous.
âDo you all have new sets?â
Everyone summoned their items. They all had evolved into matching sets. In Eliseâs case, the Red Dragon set had evolved even further. Her armor was shining brightly, and since she was magical engineering master now, her items seemed to have a mechanical component to them. It was possible it was just how they looked on the outside now. They looked both mechanical and dragon-like, a strange combination. The managers had been sensible to their predilections.
Junhyuk looked at Sarang, whose items made her looked like a Blue Thunder Goddess. They looked like extremely high-quality items.
Gongon had a set as well, but they couldnât see the details of it with Gongon in his original size.
âEnlarge.â
Gongon did, and the set became more visible. There was an etching of a dragon across the breastplate.
Junhyuk turned to Layla, who was now wearing a flowing robe. It was fluttering as if wind was constantly blowing on it. She looked like an angel.
âIt looks good on you.â
âIs that a compliment?â
âOf course!â
Layla had a rough demeanor, and the way she spoke was rough. Junhyuk had never thought of her as delicate, but the new set gave her a womanly, ethereal look.
He turned to Helen and Eunseo then. Would they be of help? Even if so, it would probably not be significant help. The allies might lose the castle in their fight against the legends. Eunseo might even die forever.
âYou two will participate.â Both women nodded, but Junhyuk added, âEunseo, if you die once, stay inside the castleâs force field. Helen, you too. If you die four times, remain within the force field.â
The two women nodded nervously, and Junhyuk turned to the other and said, âWeâll become legends among legends.â
âLegends among legends?â Gongon asked.
Junhyuk nodded and said, âWe have to do our best. Have you all gone through your set effects?â
Everyone nodded, and he smiled.
âUse them well. The enemy heroes will also have full sets, so it wonât be easy.â
Junhyuk knew time was up, so he lay comfortably on the ground. Everyone followed suit, and the world turned blindingly bright.
When Junhyuk recovered his vision, he saw Ariel, who was kneeling before him with her hands resting on her knees.
[Long time, no see]
âWe met last week.â
Junhyuk had placed three bets on the Championsâ Battlefield in the meantime. He had bet small the first time around, but invested heavily afterward. In the last round, he had bet everything. Now, he had a total of 13,100,000G.
His plan was to spend everything on enhancement stones. He needed a larger Spatial Bag, but right now, he was focused on becoming a legend among legends.
âIâll win.â
[I wish you victory. Legend Junhyuk Lee deployed!]
Junhyuk chuckled at his new title. Since he had won the tournament, now he was a legend. Being called a legend made him few refreshed.
He went outside and saw the sea of minions waiting. They all looked up and parted like the red sea for him.
Minions normally didnât fight multiple times, so he was thinking that all of them were new minions, but one of them called out to him.
âHero!â
He could see the face under the helmet. As a legend, Junhyuk had a very good memory, so he soon remembered the minionâs face.
Unlike other minions, that minion fought hard. They had fought together before, and he realized that that group of minions was different. They were all experienced.
The minion asked him carefully, âDo we have to fight in multiple battlefields? Everyone is saying this is their second time here.â
Junhyuk nodded and said, âThis battle is for special minions, those with battle experience.â
âHow is this battlefield special?â
The tournament had ended, but the league was still ongoing, so the Dimensional Battlefield was still a thing. There were still cases of abnormal narcolepsy on Earth, but those humans didnât know about the fight to be the legend among legends. They had thought their one excursion to the battlefield had been enough.
They did not understand the meaning of that battle.
Junhyuk looked at the minions and said, âThis battle is special for heroes as well. They must have selected the minions with experience to fight in it.â
Every minion frowned at that remark. A special battlefield meant that it would be very dangerous.
Junhyuk smiled at them and said, âLetâs do our best.â
He passed the minions and joined the allied legends. He had been with them a moment before, but the feeling was different in the battlefield.
He smiled at them and asked, âWhat should we do?â
âLetâs do the usual.â
Junhyuk wanted to find out if he could use his Dimensional Shift in that battlefield with what he had scanned from the previous one. If so, that would be a huge boon for the allies.
He looked at Elise. Her items all looked mechanical, and before they evolved, all of her items had reached +20. Her defense should be amazing now.
âElise, do you want to go left?â
After thinking about it, she said, âOK. Iâll go left. Give me Helen.â
Elise had a buff and a powerful ultimate, so Junhyuk nodded and said, âIâll head middle with Gongon. Eunseo, you come with us.â
Gongon nodded and hopped on Eunseoâs back.
âYou are still the same.â
Junhyuk turned to Sarang and said, âYou go right.â
âIt wonât be easy, but OK.â
âI trust you.â Junhyuk rubbed his hands together and added, âLetâs go see Bebe first. I need some upgrades.â
Gongon looked at him and said, âI thought we wouldnât be able to upgrade out items any more, but now that theyâve evolved into brand new set item, we can. Do you have enough gold?â
âI have a lot.â
However, Junhyuk felt that he would still be short. He wasnât sure he would be able to reach +20 on all of his items with the amount he had.
Gongon smirked and said, âIâll craft you a Spatial Bag later, so focus on upgrading everything.â
âI wonât save any of my gold. Letâs go.â
They entered Bebeâs store and saw Bebe yawning like always.
âCome in. Your items have improved.â
âRight. They are all sets now.â
Bebe rubbed his hands and asked, âSo, what do you want?â
Junhyuk smiled and said, âI want 13,100,000G worth of enhancement stones.â
Bebe frowned and asked, âYou are spending everything?â
âThis is the last round.â
âWho said that?â
âWhat?â
âYou might end up being summoned to face new legends, but for that, you have to win this round first.â
Junhyuk frowned. He still wanted the enhancement stones, and once his items were upgraded, they would remain strong.
âJust give them to me.â
Bebe muttered something about him doing as he pleased and gave him a bag.
âWhatâs this?â
âYou are spending lot today. This is a gift. A Spatial Bag.â
âReally?â
âItâs not big. Only five square meters.â
âThank you. Iâll take it.â
Junhyuk started applying the enhancement stones. Once the basic upgrades were done, he applied more. He got all of his items to +10, but he spent 132 stones getting there, more than he had expected.
Junhyuk rubbed his hands and applied more stones. He was sure that the upgrades would decide the victor. He didnât focus on any one item, applying them evenly to all of his items instead. He managed to get them all to +15. He was lucky.
Now, he had to choose what to focus on, his weapons or the other items.
He decided on his weapons. His armor received the set boosts, so he needed to focus on the weapons.
Junhyuk applied the remaining stones to his weapons. Previously, he hadnât succeeded in getting them to +20. Even now, he failed many times, but his weapons finally reached +19. He only had two stones left, so he closed his eyes and applied them.
âLetâs do it!â
He opened his eyes slowly again and something something shining brightly. Both swords were shining rainbow. Shaking, Junhyuk raised them up. He hadnât really inspected them as weapons were not part of the set.
Both swords were at +20. When he inspected them, his eyes widened.
âAwesome!â Gongon cheered. He turned to Junhyuk and asked, âDid you do it?â
Junhyuk nodded and said, âThatâs not the issue.â
âWhat is?â
âThese swordsâ names have changed.â
âOf course! They are your now. Itâs obvious they would change.â
âWhat about yours?â
âAfter getting my weapon to +20, the name changed. It is mine now.â
Junhyuk hadnât used his swords in his training. While sparring with Artlan, he had only used his skills and set effects, so he hadnât really paid attention to the swords.
He raised them and said, âThese two swords are a set now!â
âWHAT?!â
