Legend of Legends Chapter 376 - Russia 3

Chapter 376: Russia 3

With Junhyuk alone at the training facility, only two A-ranked monsters showed up. The monsters weren’t easy to deal with, but he gained valuable battle experience. He thought that if things continued that way, he’d be able to kill a buff monster by himself at the Dimensional Battlefield.
If he were to kill a buff monster and roam the jungle, his allies would have to defend the roads well. If he managed to do it, those allies would push to bring victory to their side.
“But not yet.”
He had to form a team now. He would now have Gongon to choose from, but he still needed to look for three others.
Junhyuk also had to keep up with the research on the tear core. He was training so that he could gain live combat experience. Putting his senses through that was very important. Previously, only a single A-ranked monster appeared at a time, but now, many different combinations were appearing at once, and he was learning a lot from that.
He killed the monsters from the morning wave and got back to the hotel to shower. Major Poma was already waiting for him when he opened the door.
“Everyone has already gathered.”
Junhyuk nodded lightly and followed Poma to the lobby. Peyton, from the experts’ team, walked up to him when he saw Junhyuk. There was a man standing behind Peyton, and the man had a two-handed sword strapped to his back.
When Junhyuk inspected the man, he was a little surprised. The two-handed sword was one of Bebe’s basic weapons. He knew the price of the sword, and the man having it meant that he had killed a hero.
If the man had a high-ranking power, he would be able to kill a hero with low defense. Junhyuk himself had done that when he activate his Spatial Slash. However, even without his Spatial Slash, Junhyuk had found himself lucky enough to kill some heroes. The man might have gone through a similar experience.
“He’s the new expert, Kent, my countryman.”
After being introduced, the man smiled. Kent had gray hair and gray eyes. He looked strong and dense.
“I’m Kent.”
“Nice to meet you. Call me DK.”
“I watched your video. You have amazing skills. Can you teach me sometime?”
Confused, Junhyuk looked toward Peyton, who shrugged and said, “Kent has started training with two-handed swords.”
“On Earth?”
“I’m passionate about medieval swordsmanship,” Ken said.
Junhyuk now understood why Kent looked so well built. He, himself, had learned how to use his muscles from Artlan, which is how he was able to develop his body. On the other hand, Kent had gotten his body from training with swords.
Junhyuk couldn’t fight Kent at full strength. His strength was far above the human limit, so he shouldn’t fight human. Junhyuk had the strength to fight monsters. He was that strong now.
Even if they fought only with swords, Junhyuk could accelerate, so he wouldn’t lose.
He turned to Kent and said, “You are an expert, and that’s the reason you carry a two-handed sword.”
“Yes.”
“After we’re done training, we should hang out if I have time.”
When Junhyuk first started, he used to get swordsmanship information from the internet. However, he had just met someone who actually trained with a two-handed sword, so he didn’t mind sparring with Kent. Sora wasn’t an expert yet, but he wanted to develop her skills and teach her two-handed swordsmanship.
Junhyuk turned to the group and said, “Time to move.”
The group started heading out, and he called Lucy to get in his vehicle. A driver and Major Poma were also there with them.
He and Lucy got in the back seat, and he asked her, “What kind of monsters are there?”
She looked at the file and answered, “The monster area is filled with giant bears and foxes. Among them, the B-ranked monsters are white bears and red foxes.”
“Do you know their powers?”
“White bears don’t usually form packs. Whenever there are brown bears around, the brown bears will follow it, but white bears usually move alone. However, red foxes always move with a group of gray foxes.”
“When you fight red foxes, try to restrain them first. Prepare for situations where none of the experts are around to help.”
“Yes, sir.”
While the novices did not compare to the experts during the destruction of the Japanese dimensional tear, they still held their own throughout.
Junhyuk continued to listen to Lucy while he looked at the files. The files didn’t contain anything about A-ranked monsters however.
Junhyuk didn’t think of dealing with the A-ranked monsters this time. Whenever he killed one, another would show up. All of them stayed in a group inside the dimensional tear, waiting to come out, so it would be a better idea to kill them one by one, in a row, as they got lured out. He decided not to deal with the A-ranked monsters if he couldn’t pull that off yet.
“We’re just training.”
Junhyuk looked out of the window. He first wanted to find out what the powers of the new recruits were. He was especially interested in Kent, the new addition to the experts’ team.
Suddenly, the vehicle stopped and he got out. The monster team on standby was much bigger than the one in Japan. Russia had a much bigger army than the Japanese Self-Defense Force, and the soldiers in the Russian army were all equipped with monster decomposition weapons.
Even so, if the border for the monster area were destroyed, all of Russia would be destroyed. Nevertheless, the army still looked impressive.
Junhyuk walked with the powered people, and the Russian monster team followed behind the group. There were three times the amount of soldiers present than in Japan.
As Junhyuk stepped forward, Brigadier Kav walked up to him and asked, “We are here to watch. Is that OK?”
“Sure.”
Kav smiled and said, “Guardians told us to video the training.”
Junhyuk raised his head and saw the helicopters flying above them. There were both military helicopters and regular ones. They were to there to record the training session.
“I don’t care about you guys filming the training, but don’t cross into the border.”
“Of course.”
After talking to Kav, he looked at the group. Peyton always liked to take the lead, so he was doing that now. He wanted the position of captain of the experts’ team, but Junhyuk had Jeffrey in mind for that.
Jeffrey had the most powerful power among them, and he could deal with an A-ranked monster by himself.
Junhyuk inspected the group before saying, “I have one announcement to make before we start. The novices will now act as a unit, and Lucy will be in command of that unit.”
He called up Lucy and continued, “Novices, when you have questions and thoughts, present them to Lucy, and she will let me know.”
Junhyuk looked at Lucy, who stepped forward. Smiling brightly, she spoke with confidence, “I can’t do anything in the Dimensional Battlefield, but here on Earth, I’ll do my best to minimize casualties. We will do well!”
After Lucy introduced herself, Junhyuk continued calmly, “Today, we have people who are going into the monster area for the first time, so at first, we we’ll train just inside the border and retreat. Let’s go!”
Junhyuk walked up to the experts’ team, and they walked up to him. The experts didn’t have a captain yet, so they just followed his lead.
As he walked, Junhyuk asked, “Have all of you met Kent?”
“I got here last night, so I met them all.”
“OK. Today, we’ll find out how your powers do against monsters.”
Kent nodded, and Junhyuk looked ahead. The border was crawling with monsters. People had tried to get inside, and the monsters had attacked in groups. There was a giant brown bear with a group of foxes. Junhyuk had been told that the foxes moved in groups of five to ten, and there were ten in front of him.
He walked toward them, but he did not pull out his swords. Instead, he walked inside the border and punched the giant brown bear. The shockwave from the attack ran through the foxes.
He killed all of the monsters with one punch, astonishing everyone. Some had seen his powers before, but his powers astonished them every time he used them.
Junhyuk turned back to the group, and they crossed into the border. The powered people advanced, and the monster team entered to recover the bodies.
Junhyuk looked at the experts’ team and said, “I believe you know how to let some monsters through for the attack team. I’ll gather them in one place, so just stay here and wait.”
There were many monsters nearby, but to meet B-ranked monsters, he would have to go deeper into monster territory. He didn’t want to do that. He wanted to lure the monsters to him instead.
Thanks to his spatial sense, he could easily find the monsters nearby. He found a group of monsters with a B-ranked monster among them: a white bear grouped with brown bears.
Junhyuk showed himself to them, and the monsters rushed at him. He focused on the white bear.
The white bear ran at him like a tank. It looked quite dangerous, which astonished him. Curious, he let the white bear attack him.
Junhyuk wouldn’t die from an attack from a B-ranked monster. The white bear rushed at him, but the impact didn’t do a lot of damage. However, Junhyuk was stunned.
“Is that a power?”
The white bear’s massive jaws wrapped around Junhyuk while Junhyuk muttered to himself. The monsters tried to bite down hard on him, but that only scratched his armor.
Once Junhyuk could move again, he opened the bear’s mouth wide. He was carrying runestones of the highest quality, so he could easily free himself from it.
The white bear was going berserk on him, and the brown bears joined the fray. Meanwhile, Junhyuk looked for another group of monsters.
This time, he found a pack of foxes. A red fox was leading a group of gray foxes.
Junhyu lured them all and ran toward the allied camp. As he ran toward the experts’ team, he shouted, “The attack team takes care of the red fox. Experts focus on the bears.”
Suddenly, he teleported atop a building nearby, and the experts’ team rushed forward. Kent moved first.
As he stepped forward, he pulled out his two-handed sword. Kent stomped the ground hard and rushed out twenty meters ahead of him, stabbing the white bear.
Boom!
Everyone had thought that it would’ve been a simple stab, but the bear got throw at a building nearby. Kent’s rush was also a push. However, soon after that, all five brown bears ran toward the expert.
This time, Kent stabbed the ground with his sword, and the impact created a shockwave that sent every brown bear into the air.
Kent’s powers, with their abilities to push and launch enemies, could completely change the battlefield. It all depended on how Kent used his powers.
The other experts stepped forward to support him. Peyton moved first and extended his hand.
A giant wall appeared in front of the pack of foxes, and they followed to the side, where the attack team was waiting for them.
Lucy gave out quick orders, and Junhyuk was impressed by her decisions. At the same time, the experts’ team had certainly improved, and each expert knew what to do. The experience with the Japanese dimensional tear had increased their teamwork.
“OK. We’ll deal with an A-ranked monster soon.”
Junhyuk thought the team still lacked firepower to deal with A-ranked monsters. He wondered if the team could support Jeffrey if he was left to deal the brunt of the damage.
If the experts managed to kill an A-ranked monster, they would help tremendously.
