Legend of Legends - Chapter 348

Chapter 348: Inspiration 3

After he finished meeting with Agenchra, he walked outside. There were guards by his door, and when he saw them, he said, “Unless I tell you otherwise, don’t let anyone in.”

“Yes, sir!”

After that, he went back in. Junhyuk looked around the room and went to the bathroom. From there, he entered the training facility.

Inside the facility, he inspected the surroundings with his spatial sense. He could feel the dimensional wall beyond the confines of the space. Junhyuk tried to slash through it, but the space was unaffected.

He smacked his lips and started to absorb the mana around him. Even though he had assimilated the living spirit, he still needed to absorb mana. He was slowly absorbing mana when Sarang suddenly showed up next to him.

She was smiling brightly as she walked toward him.

“Big brother!”

He turned to look, and Sarang came at him fast. He held her head at arms’ length, and she extended her hands, but she could not touch him.

Biting her lips, she asked, “You told them I could use this place?”

Junhyuk nodded calmly.

“I have to spend time in Japan.”

Sarang grabbed her chin and thought for a moment before asking, “What are you going to do on Friday?”

“Officially, everyone has to rest on Friday. Half of the novices will go to the Dimensional Battlefield.”

The public did not know yet, but once the new season started, people would fall under the spell of abnormal narcolepsy again.

“Are you training hard?” he asked calmly.

He had already given her the second bracelet she had requested, and he was curious about whether she had improved.

Sarang raised both of her arms and said, “I haven’t been to the Dimensional Battlefield lately, so I am not sure, but the magic circle’s mana flow has increased.” She touched her heart and smiled. “Do you want to see?”

“Sure.”

Junhyuk stepped back, and Sarang pulled out her orb and extended it before her. Electric arrows suddenly shot out of it. They were many time faster than before.

“What did you do?”

Sarang tapped her head and said, “This time, I got the highest-ranking intelligence runestones, so I can shoot faster.”

He had forgotten about that. Junhyuk had gotten stronger, while Sarang had increased her intelligence. She smiled and added, “And I can do this now.”

Electric arrows floated about her orb and began to dance softly. Until now, she had only been able to shoot the arrows, but now, she could control them.

“So cool!”

Sarang smiled.

“Vera’s taught me many things. Small skills.”

Junhyuk shook his head and said, “Don’t forget the basics. Even if you have increased your intelligence, continue practicing.”

Sarang nodded.

“Sure. Vera told me the same thing.”

Junhyuk knew that Vera was an important person to her, just like Artlan was to him. Vera’s powers were limited in the Dimensional Battlefield, but in her own dimension, she could transport items across dimensions. She was a very powerful witch.

Sarang said, “I didn’t have anywhere to train, but now I have this place. It’s nice.”

Junhyuk smiled at her.

“Now, you’ll have to deal with genuine A-ranked monsters. That’s what appears when I’m alone, but I don’t know what will happen when I’m with you.”

Sarang smacked her lips.

“Perhaps, they will send two?”

He shrugged.

“We’ll have to see.”

Junhyuk swung his swords lightly, and as he talked to her, monsters showed up. Junhyuk seized the opportunity to learn more. The monsters appeared in the same way Agenchra did, they came through space, and he could feel the dimensional wall being torn.

Junhyuk looked at them: a Wolf Warlord and ten war wolves. The war wolves were four meters tall. He had faced those in Japan.

“They are the same.”

That group was more dangerous than two restrained A-ranked monsters. He stepped forward and said, “Let’s fight for real.”

“OK!”

Sarang attacked from the back, and Junhyuk felt more confident than ever. He trusted her more than the five experts and forty-five novices put together.

—

Junhyuk appeared back in the restroom and took a shower to clean himself. Sarang’s skills had improved. Her powers had not evolved, but she now had ferocious speed, and because she could generate arrows much quicker, that also meant that her attack speed had increased.

“She’ll be restrained.”

Junhyuk couldn’t use his acceleration properly in the Dimensional Battlefield, and he thought her attack speed would also get debuffed. Magicians were supposed to have slower shooting speeds in the battlefield.

Practicing in the training facility had helped him. As monsters appeared, he had sensed and felt many things, increasing his understanding of space and dimensional walls.

“Can I activate my ultimate before Gongon?”

He thought about Gongon as he dried himself with a towel. He sat on the sofa comfortably and turned on the TV. Suddenly, he felt someone walking toward him. Now that he could sense space, he kept that awareness up. He sensed someone getting off the elevator and heading toward his room.

Junhyuk wasn’t expecting anyone, so he was curious about whom it could be. He heard the sound of people talking outside the room before there was a knock on the door. Junhyuk opened it and saw Jiro standing there with someone else.

He smiled bitterly.

“What’s going on?”

“I have orders from above, sir. I had to comply with them.”

Junhyuk looked at the person behind Jiro, who smiled and asked, “Can I come in?”

He wanted to know the reason for that person to be there, so he turned to Jiro and said, “I’ll meet this person alone. You may retire.”

“Yes, sir.”

Jiro went away, and as Junhyuk walked inside, a man followed him. The man walked toward a cabinet and pulled out a bottle.

“I watched the footage of the battle.”

“Why are you here?”

Jeffrey handed him a shot of the liquor and said, “Help me, please.”

“Help?”

Jeffrey said calmly, “I can tame monsters. So far, I’ve been able to tame B-ranked monsters, but if I can tame an A-ranked monster, I’ll become much stronger.”

“Sure.”

The levels assigned to the monsters weren’t that different from one another, but when one measured their powers, one found there was a massive difference. An A-ranked monster was more dangerous than dozens of B-ranked monsters.

Junhyuk crossed his arms and stared at Jeffrey. If he could summon four A-ranked monsters, Junhyuk would have a hard time dealing with him.

“I’d be making you too strong.”

On top of summoning monsters, Jeffrey could also make them go berserk. Even a single A-ranked monster would make Jeffrey much stronger.

Jeffrey poured Junhyuk another shot and said, “We are on the same team.”

They had agreed on that, but that depended on whether Junhyuk could control Jeffrey. Junhyuk just stared at Jeffrey, who shrugged.

“Let me tame one monster. I can’t tame more than one.”

“What are you talking about? You can summon four B-ranked monsters.”

Jeffrey smiled awkwardly.

“Well, I can summon twelve C-ranked monsters, but I can only summon four B-ranked monsters.”

Junhyuk’s eyebrow twitched.

“When did your powers evolve?”

Jeffrey smiled.

“I have to stay alive, so I can’t just count on numbers. I also have to depend on quality. With an A-ranked monster, I can measure up to heroes.”

A-ranked monsters were buff monsters, and he could make them go berserk. With those two powers, Jeffrey would be able to kill a hero. He would earn more gold from that.

Junhyuk stared at Jeffrey. Should he make Jeffrey stronger?

Because Jeffrey knew what he was thinking, he pulled out two rings and said, “If you are worried about me betraying you, I bought these.”

Junhyuk looked at the rings and frowned.

“What are those?”

“They are promise rings. We can’t betray each other wearing these.”

Junhyuk looked at the rings and asked, “Did you buy them from Bebe?”

“Yes. They have no other effect, so they weren’t expensive.”

“Why did you buy them?”

Jeffrey smiled at him and said, “I want us to wear them. I was scared.”

“Of me betraying you?”

Jeffrey nodded, and Junhyuk asked, “Why do you think I’ll wear it?”

“Because when I become more powerful, and we find ourselves on the same level, it’ll be better to work together.”

Junhyuk liked the ring’s attribute. He could ensure his allies wouldn’t betray him that way, and because the rings served no purpose on the battlefield, they had to be cheap.

He spent some time thinking. He could help Jeffrey grow. Jeffrey’s powers were strong, and if at some point he was able to tame an S-ranked monster, he would be able to take on heroes by himself.

Junhyuk shook his head at that idea. Jeffrey’s powers would be restrained in the Dimensional Battlefield if it came to that. However, if Jeffrey was able to summon an S-ranked monster, his power would become a power of the highest tier, just like the Vampire Lord Lujet’s ultimate.

Looking at the rings, Junhyuk said, “I’ll find more information about them on the battlefield, and we’ll talk some more later.”

Jeffrey nodded.

“I thought you’d say that, so take both rings and let me know later.”

Junhyuk realized that Jeffrey really wanted an A-ranked monster. To gain his trust, Jeffrey had even bought those rings.

Junhyuk placed them in his Spatial Bag and said, “Let’s meet on Saturday.”

“Sure.”

As Jeffrey got up to leave, Junhyuk asked, “You are leaving?”

“I didn’t think we’d hunt an A-ranked monster now, so I have to return to Doyeol for the moment.” Jeffrey smiled and added, “Good luck on the training.”

He left, and Junhyuk took the two rings out and stared at them. Would he be able to trust Jeffrey with those promise rings?

He looked out the window, looking at downtown Tokyo. They couldn’t stop the dimensional tear right now. Even with Sarang, things would be difficult. However, if Jeffrey tamed an A-ranked monster, the team would become much stronger.

Grasping the rings, Junhyuk murmured, “If you are telling the truth, we’ll work together.”

He had not thought so for the Dimensional Battlefield, but now there were a hundred dimensional tears, and he needed Jeffrey.
