Gauntlet of Desire (rare) Defense +5Attack +5Critical Hit Damage +10%Extra Attack Chance +10% (50% Damage) The color of desire is black, so like the color of soot, the gauntlet was black. It increases defense and attack by five. Critical hit damage increases by 10 percent. The chance for an extra attack increases by 10 percent, and if it triggers, it deals 50 percent of the original attack’s damage. --- Junhyuk’s mouth hung wide open as he looked at the gauntlet he was holding in his hand. It was awesome. "From now on, I have a 30 percent chance to trigger an extra attack?!" It was the same as the Pure Golden Knight set effect. The 10 percent increase would help him a lot, and he also noticed that the gauntlet increased critical hit damage by 10 percent. The Spatial Slash usually landed as a critical. It tore through space to attack the enemy directly. Increasing the Spatial Slash’s damage by 10 percent was something he shouldn’t scoff at. He gladly held on to the gauntlet and pumped his fist. "Alright!" Soon, the world turned white, and he found himself in the training facility. As he opened his eyes, he saw monsters. An elidra was coming toward him, so he ran at it. The elidra swung its saw-bladed sword, and he dodged it easily and sliced the elidra’s neck. Then, thinking of something, he lowered his sword and connected to Artlan. "Congratulations on your victory!" "Yes, I was prepared to die." "You did well." Junhyuk wasn’t interested in talking about his victory. Instead, he wanted to ask Artlan something. "In this round of the Champions’ Battlefield, I used acceleration." "Are you talking about the living spirit’s acceleration?" "To be more accurate, it wasn’t acceleration. My body and time felt like they had slowed down. That’s what I experienced." Artlan stayed silent for a moment, before saying, "Strange. I have not experienced anything like that." "Is it weird?" "However, if you can use that power in the Dimensional Battlefield, you shouldn’t complain about it. It is not a power anyway. It’s certainly not your ultimate. If they were considering it your ultimate, the acceleration would work the same way in all dimensions." Junhyuk was worried about things on that point. If they had recognized the acceleration as a power, it would have been his ultimate. However, he was not in a hurry to become a hero. After seeing Aktur and Kaljaque, he didn’t think it was important to become a hero. Instead, he had to think about whether he would be able to become a legend after becoming a hero. "If I can use it, I shall." "Do it." Seeing another elidra pop out, he disconnected with Artlan and smiled. "Is today elidra day?" Two elidras appeared, and he ran toward them. He attacked ferociously, slashing an elidra and triggering an extra attack. With just the 10 percent increase that raised it to a 30 percent chance to trigger, it felt like the extra attacks were coming out way more often than that. However, the extra attacks weren’t necessary when fighting elidras. Junhyuk lowered his sword to his side and looked at the bodies. He did not need to use acceleration when fighting them. He drank from the Regenerative Basin and lay on the ground. Time had previously stopped, but it was now moving again, and he thought that Sarang had probably called him, but he wanted to go through the monster training first before calling her. When he saw another elidra appearing, he got up. --- Junhyuk was getting comfortable fighting the monsters. He had fought the elidra champion, Nid, so he could tell how the elidras would move next. Nid was at a much higher level than an ordinary elidra, so he had some slack when fighting the normal ones. Junhyuk spent the afternoon fighting monsters. Then, he let the living spirit run through his arteries before leaving the training facility. Because he was wearing the bracelet Gongon had given him, he could sense the mana around him. So, he smiled. "This is some bracelet." It absorbed a significant amount of mana. While at home, he learned that he could let the living spirit travel through his arteries because of it. Junhyuk called Sarang and Eunseo. He was planning to give them each a bracelet and bring them to his training facility. Through training, he would make them both stronger. Junhyuk set a meeting with Sarang and Eunseo for the evening. He would have dinner and deal with the evening monster wave. Junhyuk also called Elise and got in a cab. In the backseat of the cab, Junhyuk slowly absorbed mana from the bracelet and closed his eyes. That day, he would be meeting Elise to talk about the monster bodies. They had piled up to a point where he felt he could only trust her with them. His own people could only gather information at the moment. They weren’t ready to research the Dimensional Battlefield yet. Elise was lacking proper researchers, but he did learn how she was making her money. He thought of many things before the taxi arrived at Guardians HQ. Exiting the cab, he went to see Elise, and just like the previous time, Sora walked out to meet him. He looked at Sora and started pondering about whether he should give her a bracelet. She belonged to Guardians and she wasn’t one of his people. Staring at her, he asked, "How is your life?" "Nowadays, I have a lot of free time, so I’ve been focusing on my training. They have a new research subject, so I was put on the backseat." Junhyuk laughed. "Have a meal with me sometime." "Outside?" "Yes." There was a contract and an annual salary, but she was still just working for a major corporation. He could match their offer for her and was seriously considering bringing her to his side. Reaching the basement, he saw a feed of Eunmi on a big screen. She was using both of her powers. When he saw her calmly using her powers, he was surprised. "Did she go to the Dimensional Battlefield this week?" Elise shook her head. "It’s a surprise, but she hasn’t been summoned." Usually, when novices appeared, they were immediately summoned to the battlefield, but she hadn’t been, which was certainly surprising. Junhyuk turned to Eunmi again and asked, "Have you learned anything?" "Because she became an expert, I couldn’t measure her wavelength with the previous detector, so I made one specifically for experts." He was astonished by Elise. Her skills were certainly shocking. In only a short while, she had made an expert detector. Elise looked at him and asked, "Do you have business with me?" Smiling at her, he said, "I had a chance to go on a monster hunt, so I have a lot of monsters bodies." She cocked her head. "Didn’t you go to the Dimensional Battlefield last week?" Junhyuk realized yet again that Elise could be very perceptive, but he continued without answering her question. "Do you need monster bodies?" "What kind of monsters?" To Elise, he was still important, so she still had to keep him around. When she had heard he was coming to see her, she had turned on the expert detector, but the detector had not seen him as an expert. It was obvious that he had powers, but the expert detector had not seen him, and that meant there was the possibility that he could be a champion. She didn’t want to bring it up yet, however. "These are high-ranking monsters, things you haven’t seen yet," he said. "How many?" "A hundred." After collecting a hundred bodies, he kept on only gathering mana stones and bloodstones. The bodies were piling up, but there was nothing else he could do. Elise’s eyes widened. "A hundred?" "Yes," he continued calmly. "I have to dump them all out at once, so it can’t be anywhere small." "How did you bring them here?" He couldn’t tell her about the Spatial Bag yet, and even if she wanted one, he wouldn’t be able to get it for her. "I used something." "OK. Then, let’s go to the monster (cadavers) containment room." The monster containment room was very large, and he could dump all of the bodies there. "Eunmi, let’s take a rest. I’ll see you in an hour," Elise told her through an intercom. Eunmi nodded and lay on her bed. Then, Elise said to Sora, "Stay here for a bit. You know what to do if there are any problems?" "Yes." They had already contained her once, so they weren’t too worried about Eunmi. Elise turned to Junhyuk and said, "Then, let’s go." They walked out of the research room and went to the containment area, where she showed him an empty space in the back. The space had a fifty-meter radius. Junhyuk looked around and smacked his lips. He was glad that he had brought the elidras. As he pulled out the crystal orb from his chest, Elise looked at it with interest. Then, he dumped all of the bodies out of the orb. All of a sudden, the large amount of bodies came out, and Elise stepped back with surprise. Her eyes beamed, and she looked at him. More specifically, she was looking at the crystal orb. "Where did you get it?" "At the Dimensional Battlefield." "Can I get one?" "This is so expensive that I can’t get one for you." For a Spatial Bag, that one might actually be cheap. It lacked all the other functions aside from gathering and dumping bodies all at once. But, it could hold as many bodies as he wished. Elise smacked her lips and murmured, "I want to visit the Dimensional Battlefield." He smiled bitterly at her. "If you had ever been there, you wouldn’t talk like that." She did not say anything else on that point, moving to examine the bodies. She was astounded by them. "I’ve never seen monsters like these." "That should be right." The truth was that those monsters were hard to encounter even in the Dimensional Battlefield. Junhyuk hadn’t seen an elidra before either, and they had not appeared on Earth. If there had been elidras alive and causing trouble, things would have been different on Earth. Also, the twin-headed ogres’ skins were so thick, no human weaponry would get through it. He was unsure if the iron soldier would have a solution for those two monsters. Elidras were surprisingly fast. They were slower than the jaguars, but the way they moved was shocking, making them difficult to deal with. Even Junhyuk couldn’t tell what was going to happen when he fought elidras. Elise pulled a scalpel from her chest, and when she used it on a twin-headed ogre, her eyes widened. "This is something. Considering this muscle mass, the monster decomposition liquid won’t work!" Ogres had enormous muscles. Even if someone pierced an ogre’s skin, it was impossible to tell how much damage had actually gone through the muscles. Elise wrote on her tablet and continued the examination. She also used her scalpel on an elidra’s skin, but she couldn’t even scratch it. "Compare to other monsters’, this one’s skin is superior." It looked like an alligator, and its skin itself was hard. Junhyuk’s attack was so high that he had sliced it like a piece of paper, but things would probably be different for the rest of Earth. "I have certainly never seen these monsters before. Considering everything, I’ll give you $5 million." She turned to him and added, "When I research these, the development on the monster research will be enormous."
