Legend of Legends Chapter 370 - Change 3

Chapter 370: Change 3

Junhyuk had expected monsters to block his path, but his path was clear. After running for a while, he saw two monsters coming at him. He could see two monsters, but he sensed another with his spatial sense. He scowled.
“What is this?!”
So far, A-ranked monsters had been in command of B-ranked monsters, but this time, the A-ranked monsters had shown up as a group.
There was a Wolf Warlord, a Salamander and a Ghost White Tiger.
Without his spatial sense, he would’ve thought that there were only two monsters.
So far, he had dealt with A-ranked monsters one at a time, and he had thought highly of himself for being able to do so. In the Dimensional Battlefield, at least two heroes were required to kill a buff monsters with no casualties. Doing it alone was always possible, but the difficulty rose exponentially.
Now, there were three A-ranked monsters in front of him. Junhyuk tensed and then inhaled deeply.
“Maybe it’s better this way…”
If an S-ranked monster had shown up, he wouldn’t have survived.
He was measuring the distance between himself and the three monsters when other monsters appeared around him. They were B-ranked monsters.
Each A-ranked monsters had a following of ten B-ranked monsters. Junhyuk looked at them and smiled.
“Sorry, fighting in a small, crowded space will be your loss.”
Without worrying, Junhyuk threw himself forward. He ran full tilt, and the Wolf Warlord attacked him first. The Wolf Warlord had already gone through its transformation when it went to meet him, and Junhyuk accelerated in response.
The Wolf Warlord was huge, so its speed was limited by the narrow path. For him, it was easier to deal with it inside than outside the tear.
Junhyuk closed in, brandishing his swords. His guess was that he would reach the core after killing those monsters, and his sword clashed with the Wolf Warlord’s claw.
Clang!
He parried the claw to the side, getting closer to the Wolf Warlord’s chest, and stabbed the Wolf Warlord on its leg with the Frozen Rune Sword. The whole leg froze, and he felt another monster coming toward him.
The Salamander was stuck to the ceiling, breathing fire down on him.
Junhyuk quickly raised the force field, and the flames engulfed everything around him, but they did not enter it. The war wolves gathered around the Wolf Warlord, something Junhyuk had been waiting for, and he stabbed the Wolf Warlord in the stomach.
The shockwave expanded in a ring, slashing through the war wolves. He couldn’t kill the Wolf Warlord in a single hit, but the war wolves were a different story.
Junhyuk stabbed the other Wolf Warlord’s leg with the Frozen Rune Sword, slowing it down by a lot. Junhyuk was much faster than the monster now.
He stepped on the Wolf Warlord’s knee and jumped. The Wolf Warlord clawed at him. The monster had predicted his movements, so it attacked.
Junhyuk clicked his tongue and teleported to appear behind the Wolf Warlord’s neck, stabbing down at it with his sword.
The Wolf Warlord had a lot of health, but Junhyuk stabbed down, severing its spine, and it died. If he hadn’t frozen the Wolf Warlord’s legs, his attack would’ve failed. He also had to use his teleportation to be able to kill the Wolf Warlord, and although he had done it, his back was exposed.
Boom!
The Ghost White Tiger was already on him. It had pounded on his back, and Junhyuk was thrown off the Wolf Warlord’s body, slamming hard against a wall. The wall was destroyed, and he got up.
He was still being covered by the force field. Otherwise, he would’ve been heavily damaged.
Junhyuk had overexerted himself while killing the Wolf Warlord, but luckily, he wasn’t damage from that. As he got up, the Ghost White Tiger whipped its tail at him. It didn’t hurt him, but the impact pushed the force field out, and Junhyuk was launched back with it.
As he was flying back, he used the Spatial Slash on the Salamander stuck to the ceiling, and the Salamander exploded. He thought he only had to deal with the Ghost White Tiger at that point, but the debris from the explosion gathered in one place, and the Salamander took form again.
He murmured, “It won’t die like that?!”
To kill the Salamander, he had to destroy its core.
Junhyuk smacked his lips and looked at the monsters approaching him: the Ghost White Tiger and the Salamander. The two were coming toward him slowly, and he closed his eyes.
He could sense them both. To kill the Salamander, he had to destroy its core, but he did not know how to find it. He tried to use his spatial sense to peek into the Salamander’s body, but he couldn’t do it. Clicking his tongue, he opened his eyes.
The Salamander inhaled deeply and then breathed out fire.
Junhyuk watched the flames coming at him. He wanted to kill the Ghost White TIger, so he teleported. As he appeared underneath the Ghost White Tiger’s jaw, he stabbed up.
The monster tried to counter, swinging its massive paws at Junhyuk, but he was faster. By that time, the sword hard already pierced the monster’s jaw.
Junhyuk felt he needed to do more, so he gathered mana on his sword and triggered a single-point explosion. It went off inside the Ghost White Tiger’s head.
Then, Junhyuk lifted the body of the Ghost White Tiger and threw it toward the Salamander. The Salamander was breathing fire at him again, but the body of the Ghost White Tiger blocked the flames for him.
The Ghost White Tiger was massive, so no flames passed through it.
The Salamander circumvented the body of the Ghost White Tiger, running fast toward him.
He sighed.
“Oh, well.”
Junhyuk extended his hand and used the Spatial Collapse. He did not know where the core was, but the Spatial Collapse sucked everything around it toward it.
Crack!
Junhyuk did not want to be hit by the Salamander’s breath. With the Spatial Collapse, its flames got sucked away. Junhyuk ran forward and used a single-point explosion. The mana on the blade exploded in the center of the Spatial Collapse, generating a shockwave.
Boom!
He did not care that the Spatial Collapse had not been able to deal with the core. The single point explosion pierced through it, and the Salamander died.
After taking care of the remaining B-ranked monsters, Junhyuk ran toward the tower core. The tower appeared far in the distance, and as he approached, he felt something on it, a type of energy.
His eyes beamed. He wanted to take the core energy from the tower core with him.
By then, Junhyuk started making his plans for escape, so he tried to contact Jeffrey, but the connection didn’t go through. All he could do was frown at the situation.
“Shit! I need to be sure!”
Junhyuk needed to know what had happened to the equipment he had given Jeffrey. He had to activate it, but there was no way for him to know if it would work.
Thinking about it, he also couldn’t call Vera from within the tear. He started thinking. It had taken him over five minutes to get to the tower core, so he wasn’t sure if he could get out in time, even if he accelerated. He needed to know what was going on with Jeffrey to be able to use the item.
While thinking and staring at the tower core, he heard a voice.
“You’re back.”
Junhyuk turned around and saw Eltor standing there. He stared hard at the manager.
“Somebody has to stop it.”
Eltor nodded in agreement.
“Correct. We’ve seen the powered people training.”
Junhyuk realized that Eltor had been watching everything and scowled.
Eltor shrugged and said, “But you came here alone.”
“I had no choice.”
The dimensional tear had many A-ranked monsters within it. He had dealt with four A-ranked monsters just inside that single tear. Could anyone else other than Junhyuk enter a tear? If he hadn’t been a hero, he would’ve died like a dog on the street.
Junhyuk turned toward the tower core, and Eltor said, “I must tell you one thing.”
He aimed his sword at the tower, turning only his head toward the manager. Eltor looked at him and smiled, saying, “The more you try to destroy the tears, the harder the following ones will get.”
“Thanks for your advice,” he replied, swinging his sword at the tower.
Clang!
The tower core cracked, and Junhyuk gathered mana on his sword and swung again. The tower started falling, and Junhyuk grabbed the core within it. He put it inside his Spatial Bag and turned, dashing out of there, wishing for the teleportation item to work.
—
After he went inside the dimensional tear, the situation turned sour for the experts’ team. Waves of monsters came their way.
At first, only those close by attacked them, but Junhyuk had spent ten minutes inside the tear, so the number of monsters grew to more than 150.
While dealing with the monsters, the experts changed their opinion of Jeffrey. Seven B-ranked monsters had attacked them at the same time, and that’s when Jeffrey had summoned the Ghost White Tiger. The summon had lasted only ten seconds, but it had killed all of the monster surrounding them then.
However, their luck was running out. Jeffrey was still waiting on his cooldown, but the monsters kept coming at them.
There were five B-ranked monsters and fifty C-ranked monsters now.
Jeffrey looked at the others. Everyone was exhausted. With things like that, they wouldn’t be able to stop the monsters anymore.
They were desponded, but that’s when Jeffrey’s item shone brightly.
Surrounded by light, Junhyuk appeared. He sighed heavily, relieved.
“I can activate it from my side.”
Then, he saw the monsters coming at them, but he also saw the team had survived.
“You did well,” he added, and his shockwaves swept through the horde. I only took him thirty seconds to wipe out all of the monsters.
That was real power, real strength.
Far above them, the dimensional tear crackled loudly. The tear collapsed within itself and disappeared.
The experts’ team was astonished, and looking up, Junhyuk said, “Now, there are ninety-nine remaining.”
