Legend of Legends

After closing the dimensional tear, Junhyuk disappeared from that place. He had teleported a hundred meters to stand atop another building. Then, he sent his equipment away and teleported back to his car. There, he leaned against the seat and exhaled a deep sigh. "What happened?" he heard Elise’s voice ask. "Because of the dimensional tear, a monster zone could have been created, but I stopped it. I want to go home and rest now." "A monster zone?" He thought about what management was trying to do and said, "Considering what will happen from now on, you must come up with ways to kill porings as soon as possible, as well as also detect infected and eliminate infected people. If not, monster zones will start appearing around the world from now on." After a moment of silence, Elise said, "We have to keep that from happening. I’ll focus on that." Without saying anything else, Junhyuk hung up. He started his car, blasted some cold air from the air conditioning and sighed again. "I’m in a tough spot." He leaned back on his seat comfortably, put his car in reverse and got out of the busy complex to the street. The way there had been busy, but there was a lot of room on the way back. After driving home, he entered the training facility, where Sarang was waiting for him. "Enter." Inside, he saw Sarang practicing her control over mana. She was focused like before and had not felt the time passing. However, she felt him arriving and, regaining her consciousness, looked at him. "Big brother." "I’m back." She walked over to him, looked him up and down and asked, "What happened?" Junhyuk frowned and explained the dimensional tear to her. After he finished, she scowled at the news. "You stopped it this time, but there’ll be more." "Right. The world may end up filled up monster zones." Porings would be the main focus of monster deployments from now on, and Junhyuk didn’t want to think about it too deeply, so he shook his head and said, "By the way, I learned to use a new ability." "A new ability?" He nodded and raised his sword. The tip of his sword had the living spirit on it, and it grew brighter. When she watched the brightness explode, she was astonished. Sarang could control mana, so she knew the size of the force the explosion on the tip of his sword could exert. "Is this a power?" "No," he said calmly. "It’s a regular attack." The ability was not considered a new power by Dimensional Battlefield standards, but it made an enormous difference within Junhyuk’s dimension. "I have to practice it so that it can be used more quickly," he continued. The living spirit could be merged with his powers, increasing their strengths. Junhyuk was still learning new ways to use the spirit, so he didn’t know the full extent of what could happened when the spirit was combined with his powers. To learn, he wanted to train more. Junhyuk moved the living spirit to his sword and focused. Artlan had told him he could gain more things from the spirit, and he was now training one of them. The managers of the Dimensional Battlefield wouldn’t wait for him, so until management was satisfied, the would experience more suffering. He wanted to relieve humanity from that suffering, so he was doing his best at focusing on the living spirit, skipping rest and work on his way to becoming a hero. And even though he was not a hero yet, he had to get stronger in his dimension. Junhyuk thought of the Black Turtle and the extreme density of its defense. A-ranked monsters had different levels of defense, and he wanted to get stronger so that he could deal with them. Then, he saw the monsters appearing before him. Previously, the waves started with B-ranked monsters before upgrading to A-ranked monsters. However, things were different this time. A-ranked monsters started appearing from the get-go. A Wolf Warlord, but this time it wasn’t alone. It had come with a pack of wolves. When Junhyuk saw them, he smiled. "Sarang, I’ll deal with the Wolf Warlord, and you take care of the wolves." After saying that, he ran forward. The Wolf Warlord bared its sharp fangs, and Junhyuk triggered acceleration. As he focused even more on acceleration, he got faster. Far surpassing human limitations, he faced the Wolf Warlord head on. --- The disaster at Yongsan Station became breaking new around the world. Hoards of monsters had come out from the dimensional tear, and if that happened again, humanity’s current level of firepower wouldn’t be enough. Sora wasn’t an exception. She was terrified, and she talked to Junhyuk about all of those things. Who would she be able to trust if it happened again? Only Guardians had a history of dealing with monsters effectively. Guardians had iron soldiers. The company also had weapons that used the monster decomposition liquid, and it was trustworthy. As he listened to her in his parked her, he smirked. They had arrived at the new building he had purchase. Junhyuk hadn’t spoken much on the ride, simply driving her dare. She stared and him and asked, "Where am I?" "From now on, I’ll be recruiting people with powers to help them grow." "I’m looking forward to it." Junhyuk went inside and looked around. There was a training area with state-of-the-art training equipment run by a state-of-the-art training program. Sora looked around, astounded, "It’s something." He had been there the day before to check it out. He had gone over the training equipment and made a card for himself under his own real name for check-in purposes. He had also told Sungtae that someone else would be responsible for the things that happened in that building. He said that person’s name was Junhyuk. Junhyuk looked around and said, "We have basic room and board here as well." "That’s really nice. I can do more statistical training here than at Guardians." "You should be able to." They walked to the outside garden. It was located on the roof, and Junhyuk got a couple of cups of coffee from the vending machine there. They drank their cups together. "Don’t worry about the dimensional tear." That was all that Sora had talked about on her way there. Now, she was simply listening to him as he said calmly, "I stopped the dimensional tear at Yongsan Station." "What?!" He continued, "I’ll be with you, so I don’t want to keep secrets from you." "Perhaps, are you the Dark Knight...?" "They call me that." He smiled awkwardly and added, "When a dimensional tear appears, all we have to do is destroy the tower core. However, there aren’t many who can do it right now." Unless they went in with a motorcycle, only Junhyuk would be able to do it and return alive. He looked at Sora. Her power was outstanding, but she was only capable of covering a distance of two hundred meters at once. She wouldn’t be able to get through the entire road to come back alive from the tear. "We have a lot of work to do. There will be more tears." "There’ll be more?!" He nodded heavily. More dimensional tears were expected to appear, and Junhyuk wanted to form a team to stop the monsters. Sora could be a tank in that team, but she still needed more and better equipment. He said calmly, "For that reason, you must train yourself. I’ll give you plenty of money as well." "I wasn’t expecting money, but if you want to give me more, I’ll take it." Sora realized what kind of man he was, and her worries faded away. If anything went wrong, he would step in and save her. She believed that. Sora looked at the equipment on the wall and picked out a large sword. Easily swinging it around, she said, "I’ll do my best." Junhyuk smiled at her. Sora had been to the Dimensional Battlefield many times, so he was not worried about her getting scared in front of monsters. Then, he looked at his cell phone and murmured, "Very late." He was thinking about that surviving novice. He wanted her as well, but she hadn’t called him yet. Junhyuk thought she would have called him sooner, but she was taking too long to do it. To him, she had a nice power, and he really wanted her. --- Junhyuk kept worrying about the next poring attack, but that hadn’t happened. There had been no other dimensional tears since that first one, and it was now Friday. And people were shocked once again. For the first time since it started happening, there were no abnormal narcolepsy victims. Nobody fell asleep at the fixed times people normally would, and that made people more nervous. Only two people among all of humanity knew why that had happened, and the two of them were dining together at that very moment. He looked at Sarang. "Today is the day." "I know. I’m nervous." The Champions’ Battlefield had no death limit, which meant she would return alive, but she was still nervous. Anyone who had experienced the dark emptiness of death would have agreed with her. After thinking for a moment, Junhyuk said, "Honestly, they aren’t easy enemies. They started weak, but the team now is so much stronger." The enemies before used to be easy, but after Kraken was paired with the other two, the entire team was able to deal very high damage. After Junhyuk explained it all to her, Sarang smiled and said, "But I won’t die. I’ll do my best." "It won’t be easy, but I’ll help you." "Then, I will be moving with you?" Junhyuk nodded. "It’ll be better to have you with me than to pair you with Gongon." "I want to meet Gongon." He laughed. "Gongon will be expecting you," he said. Then, he ate the last piece of Korean sausage and got up from his seat. "Shall I take you home?" "No, I am fine," Sarang said, getting up. "By the way, time will stop when I’m at the Champions’ Battlefield?" "That’s right." "That’s good. I won’t have to come up with an excuse for it then." Junhyuk fake laughed and said, "Right, so don’t worry about it." After sending her home, he entered the training facility, where he sat on the ground and practiced the single-point explosion before going to the Champions’ Battlefield. Junhyuk wasn’t sure if he could use what he had learned on the battlefield. Artlan had said he wouldn’t be able to, but the acceleration had worked differently over there, so he thought the same might happen to the single-point explosion. He was expecting to be able to use it, so he focused on training it. He hadn’t been able to kill the Wolf Warlord by himself, but his acceleration speed had increased even further, so he was able to fight against it now. Even with eyes closed, the bright white light pounded at his corneas.action
