Legend of Legends

Chapter 428: Monster Wave 2

Junhyuk was flying on a drone while looking at Vera. Today was the day Vera promised to send him more teleportation devices. He had contacted her three days before. During that time, Vera had made five pairs of teleportation devices. Junhyuk felt that she was extremely capable.

Vera was smiling at him.

“Do you have the gold?”

“I do, but how am I supposed to send it to you?”

“I’ll get the money from you through the battlefield, but you have to approve the transfer.”

“What am I approving?”

Right as he finished asking that question, Junhyuk heard a familiar voice.

[Through the Dimensional Battlefield Exchange, the hero Vera is asking for a transfer. She’s requesting 100,000G from you. Do you approve?]

“Ariel!”

[Yes, how have you been?]

“I’m fine, but what do you mean?”

[Vera did not ask me to deliver anything to you. She’s simply requesting gold. Do you approve?]

Junhyuk still shook his head and asked, “Is there a fee involved?”

[Delivery fees exist, but Vera, the hero, did not request a delivery. There are no fees for wiring gold.]

He did not ask why there was no fee, simply agreeing to send the gold, “OK. I’m approving the transfer to Vera.”

[Your approval has been noted. Next time you visit the battlefield, you’ll have minus 100,000G.]

“How can I use this service?”

[Most heroes don’t like to be contacted, but we have a way to contact all heroes.]

Thinking of it, he had nothing to gain from being contacted by Ariel. This time, he was simply dealing financially with Vera.

“Wait! So, if I pay the delivery fee, you can make deliveries to other dimensions?”

[Yes, that’s correct.]

“And you can deliver anything?”

[Yes.]

“What about the fee?”

[It depends on the item you send.]

Junhyuk just wanted to know how the delivery process worked. Ariel was also a Dimensional Battlefield manager, so he didn’t want to use her to deliver the cores. Nevertheless, he thought it was nice that gold transfers between dimensions were possible.

Vera laughed and said, “OK. I’ve received confirmation of the transfer. I’m sending the items now.”

Junhyuk was flying specifically to receive the devices from Vera. When items were sent over, the delivery created dimensional tears, and those tears created massive shockwaves, which was why he had decided to fly.

Junhyuk waited a moment, and suddenly, right in from of him, a tear appeared. He had to protect himself from the delivery shockwave, so he quickly raised a force field around himself and the drone.

The dimensional tear only lasted a short while, but the shockwave was absurd, which was why he thought he would be better off in the air. Once it disappeared, he saw five pairs of devices floating in the air. A bracelet was floating with them.

He took the devices and the bracelet and asked Vera, “What’s with the bracelet?”

“That’s a gift from me. I heard Sarang’s having problems with her spells because she has a hard time getting mana there.”

“Does it absorb more mana?”

“No. It works by socketing mana stones to it. With it, when she casts a spell, she can force the mana consumption from the mana stone on the bracelet.”

Vera was saying that Sarang could use mana stones as the source of mana for her spells. On Earth, that meant that as long as Sarang had mana stones, she would be able to cast and practice her spells. Mana stones were expensive, but she would be able to use her magic any time she wanted.

Vera grinned at him and waved, saying, “See you soon!”

“I’ll call you soon!”

Junhyuk disconnected and put the devices in his Spatial Bag. After landing the drone on the ground, he went to Elise’s house. She had been waiting for him to return. When she saw him, she smiled and said first, “Clearly, dimensional deliveries are possible.”

“Yes.”

He gave her one teleportation device. The others he would give to Guardians. They had five devices already, but now they would have nine. Junhyuk kept one of each pair with him. With them, he would be able to move much faster.

Junhyuk would leave one in South Korea, which would enable him to return at any time. He had already given one to Elise, for her to always carry with her, so he went to Guardians. There, he met with Eunseo and gave her the four devices.

Eunseo took them and said, “These will help us tremendously!”

Guardians, with his help, had already spread five devices throughout the world, but that had only created unrest among the people. Now, there were another four devices.

Eunseo made him a cup of tea.

“How is your training?”

“It’s going well.”

His own training and the training of the powered people were going well. Some of the powered people were having a difficult time settling on a weapon, but most had decided on the weapons they wanted.

With the weapons they wanted, the powered people were getting stronger. Junhyuk had full muscle control, but most of his trainees didn’t. Still, their weapon skills were developing nicely.

They had all had near-death experiences while destroying the monster areas. Currently, there was no danger, but during that peace, they were training hard. Fighting other people was different than fighting monsters, but both types of combat enabled people to learn the basics. They were focused on their training.

“How is your training?” Junhyuk asked Eunseo.

It wasn’t public knowledge that Eunseo was a novice. For her to evolve, she needed to master the basics of combat.

She smiled and said, “I’m learning new techniques. I have good masters.”

When she had been young, she had exercised for her health. After becoming a novice, Eunseo really started training. So far, her only power was a counter. She was wearing the bracelet he had given her, but she had yet to evolve.

Eunseo adjusted her glasses and said, “By the way, I’ve found an artifact.”

“An artifact?”

Eunseo nodded and showed him an old, rusted spearhead.

“This is a legendary item. A famous antique broker was selling it, but when the broker was telling stories about it, I did not really believe him. However, the item detector recognized it as an item. So, I bought it.”

“What is it exactly?”

Junhyuk was simply staring at the old, rusted spearhead. Eunseo shrugged and said, “That’s the Lance of Longinus.”

“What?!”

She laughed at his reaction and said, “The stories are told as fables, so I didn’t believe it initially. Also, the price for it was quite high. I now know that this is an item, which is why I bought it, but it’s still hard to believe the stories.”

After Junhyuk had heard her call it the Lance of Longinus, he could only smirk. There were many stories behind that spearhead. The most famous of which was of it being used on Jesus Christ during his crucifixion.

If that was really the same spear, it would be an incredibly powerful item in the Dimensional Battlefield.

“How much was it?” Junhyuk asked her.

“Ten million dollars. The broker told a lot of stories about it, but he had no evidence to support them.”

“You bought that spearhead for just $10 million?!”

“It should help me in the Dimensional Battlefield.”

If that really was the Lance of Longinus, $10 million was cheap. However, even the broker who sold it couldn’t be sure of the spear’s history. Eunseo had bought it because it was an item.

Junhyuk stared at the spearhead and said, “You’ll need a shaft for it.” action

Eunseo nodded, saying, “I’ll ask Elise for it.”

After pondering the idea, Junhyuk said, “Elise can make you a shaft, but you need to hurry if you are going to take it with you to the next battlefield.”

“I’m unsure. Should I really use this spear?”

Eunseo was more used to hand-to-hand combat.

“This can be the Lance of Longinus, which you should definitely use instead of selling it. You’ll need to learn how to use polearms, but spears are good weapons. You can keep your distance from enemies with them.”

Eunseo thought it over. She wanted to use it since she already owned it, and Elise could make a shaft for it. So, she decided to learn how to fight with polearms.

She only knew hand-to-hand combat, but she had to think of the future. She needed some type of weapon.

Junhyuk would’ve been jealous if that had been a sword, but it was a spear, so he didn’t care at all. If the stories about the spear were right, it would be a very special weapon.

Eunseo got up from her seat and said, “I’ll go see Elise now.”

Junhyuk got up as well, finished his tea and replied, “I want to go with you.”

“Sure, thanks.”

Both went to see Elise, who was studying the core. She saw them walk in and lifted her goggles.

“You’re both here!”

Junhyuk turned to Eunseo, and she showed Elise the old, rusted spearhead.

“I need a shaft for it.”

Elise inspected the spearhead and said, “This is old. I can make you a new spear.”

Smiling, Junhyuk said, “It’s a Dimensional Battlefield item, and a powerful one at that.”

Elise turned to Eunseo, who adjusted her glasses and said, “Supposedly, it’s the Lance of Longinus, but nothing is certain.”

“The Lance of Longinus?!” Elise stared at the spearhead and said, “I’ll carbon date it and make you a shaft.”

She took them to a different room. There, she opened the glass enclosure of a small apparatus and placed the spearhead in it carefully. A green light shot out from a lens and scanned the spearhead.

Junhyuk looked at it with wonder. The spearhead appeared on a monitor. Elise looked at it and said, “Zaira, make a fitting shaft.”

She turned to Eunseo and asked, “Are you going to use it yourself?”

Eunseo nodded, and Elise added, “The owner is Eunseo Kim. Adjust it to her.”

Elise looked at them both and concluded, “If this is really the Lance of Longinus, magitek will help enhance its power, making it even more effective.”

Junhyuk was expecting great things from this new weapon.
