Chapter 445: Elise’s Activation 3

Sarang went to see him, and Junhyuk called Lucy to join them.
He told Lucy about the power scrolls, and she pulled out a tablet. They talked about everyone’s powers, and he asked Sarang for two of her powers.
He attached his own force field to a scroll that would be used by others, and Sarang attached her electric blasts to one.
Lucy shook her head and said, “Right now, we don’t have any other powers that might be useful for fighting dragons.”
Junhyuk wasn’t disappointed. Dragons weren’t easy. He attached Lucy’s power to a scroll and taught her how to use them. Lucy was a great strategist, and even military commanders applauded her skills.
She would create strategies of her own while taking the scrolls into account. Currently, there were no dragons around, so they should spend the time getting ready.
“Expect the worst and the unexpected when coming up with strategies,” Junhyuk said, and Lucy nodded in agreement.
“Hypothetically speaking, what would be the worst situation?”
“The worst would be two or more dragons appearing at the same time. They may even spawn in different places.”
Lucy spent a long time thinking and said, “We’ve run that simulation and we don’t have the strength to deal with two dragons together, so it’s better to lure one away.”
Junhyuk could do that, but even with the drone, he wouldn’t get far.
He sighed and said, “We have to craft dragon-hunting weapons.”
Regular monster waves could be contained and stopped, but dragons required the full force of all powered people available. All heroes, champions, and experts would need to work together.
Even then, they would have to craft the weapons. Otherwise, if more than one dragon showed, they wouldn’t be able to kill the dragons, regardless of how many powered people they had.
Junhyuk sighed and said, “Well, come up with a strategy.”
“I’m doing my best. You don’t need to worry so much.”
Junhyuk was relieved to hear that. Eunseo was dealing with the world leaders without trouble. Elise was crafting weapons and items that could be used in the Dimensional Battlefield. Lucy could build strategies against monster attacks. With them working, he could focus on his training.
Sarang was on his team, and he felt safe having her with him.
He realized that, all around him, the women helped him the most. They were impressive, and it was thanks to them that he could train without worry. Junhyuk wanted to focus on his training. He wanted to make his Spatial Slash stronger.
His force field had started as a high-tier power, but it had taken him a long time to evolve it.
How long would it take for his Spatial Slash to evolve into a Dimensional Slash? Not much had changed since he had gained the power. Its cooldown had decreased, but the range had stayed the same.
Lucy left, and Junhyuk trained by himself.
On Friday, half of the champions, experts and novices went to the battlefield. There was nobody training there but him, so Junhyuk ran through the attacks he had used against the undead minions.
He had been able to cut down many minions with a single slash. It wasn’t a lot of damage, but he had cut through many minions at once. However, each strike of the blade against a minion created a shockwave, so if the enemy heroes were caught in the middle, he would be able to kill them regardless.
Heroes were powerful, so using the single slash to attack multiple heroes wouldn’t be efficient. Still, he had to practice.
Junhyuk would master Aksha’s Swordsmanship and develop it into his own Dimensional Swordsmanship. That was the task he was giving himself.
Once he had used up all his mana while training with the longsword, he sat down comfortably and thought about what he had just done. In one hand, he held a core and was absorbing the energy from it.
The refurbished core was a crystal of pure energy, and he could feel the energy flowing through it more clearly than ever.
The core was replenishing his mana. Mana was one of the energies within the core, but he was also partially absorbing another.
Junhyuk expected great developments from Elise’s core research. She had just started on it, but she had figured out that her new weapon would have unlimited core energy. Even then, it would have its limits. Still, with unlimited energy, Elise could pull however much she needed from the core.
While holding the core in his hand, Junhyuk realized something. Cores could affect dimensions. He thought hard about what that could mean.

The abnormal narcolepsy incidents happened on Friday. By the end of the day, at Guardians HQ, five experts hadn’t woken up. Thirty-five novices also continued to sleep. Another novice had become an experts, and no new champions had appeared.
After the weekend, Junhyuk was able to inspect the new dragon-hunting weaponry. They weren’t entirely new weapons to be clear. Elise had adapted missiles with dragon scales and sharpness magitek.
They had been designed to fight dragons, but there was no certainty that they would work. Dragons were purely magical existences, and technology might not work against them.
Elise had also made a railgun, but the railgun shot dragon scales. It did not need energy to function, so even if dragons had some type of EMP field, the railgun would still work.
Those were the two weapons made of dragon scales.
“Will they work on dragons?” Junhyuk asked Eunseo.
“We don’t know yet. The practice target is a one-meter thick titanium alloy coated in dragon scales. People are afraid, but I think we’ll be able to calm them down with these.”
The appearance of a dragon had scared the world. Dragons exuded superiority, and the powered people had had a terrible time killing one.
Junhyuk and Sarang were heroes. Without them, the dragon would still be running rampant. On top of that, many people had died in the fight, and the collateral damage was astronomical.
The dragon could have caused even more damage.
The new weapons would serve to ease people’s fears, and Junhyuk was there to see them in action.
Junhyuk and Sarang, who would fight the dragons, Elise, who had developed the weapons, and Eunseo, who was Guardians’ CEO, with her research team were all there.
There was a crew filming the tests as well.
Junhyuk walked up to Elise and asked, “How are you doing?”
She had even darker circles under her eyes, but she smiled and said, “The schematics stage is over. I’ve started the manufacturing stage. You’ll see it soon!”
“Sure.”
Elise had learned both science and magic, so Junhyuk had great expectations of the weapon she would craft for herself.
After that, he remained silent. The weapons’ tests were starting. They used the railgun first. The gun itself made enough noise to make people go deaf for a while, but Junhyuk was interested in the titanium alloy target.
It was full of holes. The weapon was working fine.
Now, it was time to check out the missiles. There were more targets this time, and they moved around the weapon erratically. The missiles fired, and five of them hit their targets. They pierced through the scales and penetrated the titanium alloy.
Boom, boom, boom!
The dragon scales turned into shrapnel. The railgun had been designed to deal with unexpected situations, and the missiles had been designed to pierce a dragon’s coat.
Both weapons had been effective. The truth was that even if they had only broken a part of the scales off, Junhyuk and Sarang would’ve been able to exploit that weakness on a dragon.
Junhyuk turned to Elise and asked, “Are you going to add greater sharpness magic?”
Elise, who was looking at the results, said, “Maybe. It seems effective already.”
Weapons made from dragon scales were effective. Dragons had great defense, but now that Elise had made those, they had ways to pierce their scales. If the managers sent more dragons, he would be ready.
By killing one dragon, they had gained a lot from its body. Elise was crafting a set, and he was earning a lot of gold from selling items.
Dragons were big bounties. The testing had served to appease those afraid, but Junhyuk had also gained a lot of information from it.
He turned to Eunseo and said, “Dragons are dangerous, but with some preparation, we’ll be ready.”
“Yes!”
With the new weapons’ tests, Eunseo would receive help from many countries in her task to gather support from the world. After they were done, Junhyuk wanted to go train with Sarang, but she told him she had work to do with Elise, and both left. Shaking his head, Junhyuk left the testing site.

No dragons appeared for a while, which made Junhyuk more nervous. If Eltor was taking that much time to prepare, there was no telling what the manager would do. Junhyuk suspected that Eltor was preparing something even bigger.
He kept training diligently, thinking that he might be faced with more danger than ever before from the manager.
On Wednesday, he went to the training grounds and got a call from Elise. She was smiling brightly as she shouted at him, “I’ve made my weapon!”
He teleported back and went to meet her.
