Chapter 507: Training 2

Junhyuk brought in more whiskey, but Artlan was drinking it faster than Junhyuk was able to replenish it. Artlan grabbed a bottle, and every gulp emptied it a bit. Eventually, there was no more whiskey.

Since Junhyuk had invited Artlan over, three days had passed.

When Artlan drank the last bottle, he asked, “Is it over?”

“I’ll go out and check.”

“No,” Arlan said while waving at Junhyuk to stop. He got up and added, “I should be going back now.”

“You’re going back!?”

Artlan smiled.

“We’ve been training for three days. Do you want more?”

Artlan rarely smiled, and Junhyuk sighed at his response.

“I’m just getting used to the basics, and you’re heading back.”

“You’ve improved in these three days. You should be glad.”

“But, I only managed the basics. I need a lot more work.”

“You can do that while you fight.”

Junhyuk didn’t have any enemies with whom he could train while fighting, and on Earth, nobody could match him yet.

Artlan realized Junhyuk was disappointed, but he said, “I can’t stay any more than this. I have my own work to do.”

Those heroes were like emperors and rulers in their dimension. If they stayed any longer, problems could arise where they were from.

“Can I invite you over later?”

“After the next battle, I’ll come back, but you’ll need to have more drinks available.”

“I’ll definitely get those ready.”

Artlan nodded and turned to the others. Halo and Nudra also nodded.

“Good thinking. We’ll come back later.”

Diane walked over to him and grabbed his butt.

“Do I have to go?”

“You can stay here if you’d like.”

Diane smiled at that but replied, “I want to stay, but I better get back. Elves are busier than we seem.”

“Is it time for us to go already?” Vera asked.

Artlan shrugged and replied, “You can stay longer if you’d like.”

“My magic tower is also busy.”

Artlan turned to the group and declared, “It feels like we’ve done something right.” action

Vera smirked.

“Yes! I learned some magic engineering. I can use that to change the course of my magic tower’s history.”

Artlan shook his head and said, “You should slow down development. You have no heir.”

“Hm... You know it’s hard to find an heir. You found yours through the Dimensional Battlefield.”

“You have Sarang.”

“True!” Vera hugged Sarang and said, “The children should learn magic engineering.”

“Nothing good will come of your magic tower getting even stronger,” Halo said.

Nudra shrugged and declared, “There is always a limit, so who cares about what she makes?”

Junhyuk suddenly became curious and asked, “Do you all live near each other?”

With a shrug, Artlan replied, “The continent is so big, we hardly ever see each other there.”

Junhyuk nodded. Even if someone else got a hold of magic engineering technology, that person wouldn’t be able to fight against the heroes. However, when heroes were on par with each other, magic engineering could be the deciding factor.

But, these heroes weren’t interested in that.

“She is definitely superior at dimensional understanding,” Gongon told Junhyuk.

“Yeah?”

Vera could transport items through dimensions, and Gongon had concluded that she was superior to him at dimensional magic. Still, Vera had also learned from Gongon.

Sarang and Elise were smiling. They had to have learned the most out of the four. Their expressions said it all.

“Gongon, do you also have to go?”

“I should be heading back.”

Gongon had learned a lot, and he wanted to test out the things he had learned.

Junhyuk nodded and said, “OK, Gon. We’ll practice the Dimensional Slash next time.”

Gongon nodded, waved at him and disappeared.

Nudra and Halo had heard mention of the Dimensional Slash for the first time.

“Dimensional Slash?!”

Artlan answered curtly, “He wants to evolve the Spatial Slash to reach an enemy in another dimension.”

“HA?! Is that even possible?”

Halo did not believe it was, but Nudra thought differently, saying, “It won’t be like a normal evolution. It’ll be more like triggering an entirely different power.”

“Right.”

“It won’t be easy.” Nudra placed a hand on Junhyuk’s shoulder and added, “It’s an entirely new concept, but you can do it.”

“I hope so.”

Artlan said, “Before trying to complete the Dimensional Slash, look back through all of your powers.”

“I will.”

“You have the basics now, so look into yourself. Look into your own swordsmanship.”

“Yes.”

After Artlan said his piece, he disappeared. He did so without looking back.

Vera buried him in her voluptuous breasts and said, “Thanks for the invitation. I hadn’t had a chance to give you a hug.”

“It’s fine.”

Vera seemed about to cry, but she smiled and disappeared. Halo patted his shoulder and disappeared. Layla said goodbye and left.

“Artlan is very lucky to have you. You could be his heir,” Nudra said.

“Don’t you have a disciple of your own?”

“I do, but he is not even a champion yet.”

Becoming a champion was hard.

Nudra patted his shoulder and waved goodbye.

“Then, see you soon.”

Only Diane remained now. She grabbed his butt and said, “Call me again.”

“See you next time.”

When Diane left, Sarang and Elise sighed. Elise’s eyes were beaming, and she said, “I have to go build something right now.”

Sarang’s eyes were beaming as well.

“Me too! Me too!”

Junhyuk smiled at them and said, “Right. I have more training to do. Let’s all head to our facilities.”

Sarang and Elise left, and Junhyuk looked around his training facility. There were only empty bottles and plates left, and he put them all in his Spatial Bag. He would throw them out later.

Junhyuk sat in the center of the facility. He had decided to combine all three swordsmanships into one: his own, and Aksha’s and Dentra’s swordsmanships.

In those three days, Artlan, Halo and Nudra had helped him fix his swordsmanship. His wild style had improved tremendously, but he still lacked something.

Junhyuk had only mastered the basics, so he would train and look into himself to make improvements to his techniques.

He would need an opponent with him to practice, but for the time being, he would train alone. He was looking deep within himself to bring forth the best sword.

Junhyuk couldn’t go as far as when he died in the Dimensional Battlefield, but he imagined Artlan as his enemy.

Artlan’s own sword style was like his swordsmanship. Junhyuk imagined that Artlan was still there, and he ran mock battles in his mind. He could almost hear Halo’s and Nudra’s voices when he did something wrong. When he thought that, he corrected himself. Training alone was a slow process, and it took a long time.

There was nobody teaching him now, but he made progress, and as he did, he sped up his movements. He felt his vision was improving as well.

He was very curious about what was happening to his body, but suddenly, he heard Ariel’s voice.

[How have you been?]

“What’s going on?!”

Junhyuk had been summoned while training, and his reaction left Ariel tense.

[Umm... You can watch the champions. Do you want to?]

Junhyuk realized it was Friday already. Artlan had left on Wednesday, and after that, he had lost track of time training by himself.

“I’m hungry...”

[Do you want to eat?]

“That’s possible?”

[You can have whatever you want.]

“A sirloin steak!”

As soon as he said those words, a roasted sirloin appeared in front of him. Junhyuk ate it quickly.

“Which team is first?”

[Elise’s team.]

“OK. Show me the battle.”

Junhyuk ate some more while he watched. The sirloins were delicious, and they melted in his mouth.

He was enjoying himself, and the battle began.
