Legend of Legends

Junhyuk’s superior instincts were telling him that he was facing a true dragon. The hairs on his body stood on end, and he gripped his sword tightly. He stood in front of Sarang, facing the flying dragon.

The dragon was looking at them. The powered people who weren’t heroes or champions tensed up as their eyes met the dragon’s. The novices couldn’t move, and Junhyuk knew that things would be catastrophic if they continued that way.

But, only one dragon came out of the dimensional tear.

Dragons knew of Junhyuk. He was aware of that fact through Gongon. Dragons were different from other monsters in that they were highly intelligent.

“You’re a mighty dragon. Why are you here?” Junhyuk asked.

The dragon turned to him. Its eyes were burning red.

“Are you a hero?”

“My name is Junhyuk Lee. I’m one of Earth’s heroes.”

“Is that right?” the dragon asked. “My name is Kalgroan.”

Junhyuk looked at Kalgroan, who was a red dragon, and decided to talk to him.

Kalgroan’s eyes beamed, and he said, “They had imprisoned me for two hundred years, but they are willing to let me out on one condition.”

“What condition?”

“They want me to burn this place down.”

Junhyuk grimaced. Kalgroan seemed to have made up his mind, so talking wouldn’t help.

“What do you mean they imprisoned you?”

“They hunted me down and caged me.”

Dragon hunters. Considering their powers, they could get anyone. Junhyuk really wanted to learn a dimensional strike. He gripped Aksha’s Longsword even tighter.

“Then, we have to fight.”

The dragon smiled at him.

“That’s right. I’m also curious about heroes. What separates heroes from other existences? Are your powers great enough for that?”

Junhyuk sighed and replied, “They are.” He gathered his breath and shouted with all of his might, “Everyone, wake up!”

The powered people regained their senses. He did not know it, but the powered people believe that Junhyuk could take on dragons.

Kalgroan smiled and raised both of his claws. Fireballs appeared above them. That really was happening on Earth. The managers had ordered the dragon to burn the place down, which meant that Kalgroan could use any spell at his disposal. Dragon’s knew magic, and Kalgroan wasn’t holding back.

Junhyuk wouldn’t allow the spells to land.

He flew toward the dragon on the drone, and Kalgroan threw both fireballs at him. Junhyuk swung his sword against them.

Boom!

He slashed through the fireballs, but the explosions destroyed his drone. The sky was set ablaze, but Junhyuk’s armor protected him from the flames.

Junhyuk lost 5 percent of his health. The spell was stronger than he had originally thought. He hadn’t been hit directly, but he still lost health blocking the fireballs.

He scowled and teleported. On Earth, he could cover two hundred meters with his teleportation.

Junhyuk aimed at the dragon’s chest, stabbing with Aksha’s Longsword. That’s when Kalgroan raised a force field around himself.

Clang!

Kalgroan’s force field was different from his. His force field prevented all damage, but Kalgroan’s wasn’t that strong. He saw a crack appear on the dragon’s force field. Thinking of it, Junhyuk remembered that there wasn’t any mana around, so how was the dragon casting spells?

He was curious about that, but suddenly, an electric web covered Kalgroan. The dragon laughed when he saw it.

“Interesting spell!”

The dragon extended his wings and flapped them. The web ripped apart. Junhyuk regained his composure. Kalgroan was a dragon, so physical and magical attacks wouldn’t work against him. Nevertheless, dragons weren’t heroes, which meant that they weren’t immune to powers.

“Use your powers!”

Hearing him, Sarang extended her orb. An electric blast shot out of it and paralyzed the dragon.

“Everyone, use your powers!” he shouted.

The champions responded first. They seemed less afraid, so they all used their powers.

Out of them, Jeffrey went first. He summoned the Ghost White Tiger and enraged it. The tiger pounded toward the dragon. Kalgroan was flying, but the Ghost White Tiger was able to bite his ankle.

The others joined the fight after that.

Ling Ling cast a whirlwind, and Gabino cast fireballs. Helen summoned her sword and threw it at the dragon.

Junhyuk realized something by seeing their attacks. At the battlefield, champions could kill heroes. Even attacks from novices could work against heroes there. But, on Earth, things were different. The champions’ powers weren’t lethal.

Kalgroan was releasing a huge amount of mana from his body, and Junhyuk could feel it. The mana shockwaves caused all of the attacks to go off course. Essentially, for the others, there was a perpetual force field around the dragon.

Lucy had ordered the novices and experts to attack, but their attacks had only drawn the dragon’s attention.

The novices’ powers were all deflected by the dragon’s force field. The truth was that the dragon was incredibly powerful.

Junhyuk had heard that heroes couldn’t fight dragons in their own dimensions, but Junhyuk felt like he had to fight now. The dragon was stronger than any single hero, but he couldn’t allow things to continue that way.

The dragon created dozens of fireballs then, which could be disastrous.

Junhyuk used his Spatial Slash. His power pierced the dragon’s force field and slashed the dragon. Kalgroan felt something approaching and turned his neck, dodging a direct hit to a weak spot, but the dragon was still hit, and he bled.

The Spatial Slash was essentially a failure, but Junhyuk did not give up. However, that’s when the fireballs went everywhere. The dragon wasn’t simply focusing on him.

Junhyuk kept thinking about how to fight the dragon, and many ideas crossed his mind. Unsure, he extended his hand. He had never used that before, but suddenly, he created a miracle. An ivory membrane enclosed the dragon. The force field covered all forty meters of the dragon.

Junhyuk’s power had evolved on Earth, but he had never used that version of it. It had been a while since his power had evolved, but Junhyuk trusted his force field.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Massive explosions took place within the force field as all of the fireballs hit it from the inside. The area inside the force field became engulfed in fire. From the outside, they couldn’t see anything.

Junhyuk turned to Sarang, and she asked, “What do we do?”

“We have to use all of our powers.”

Sarang touched her ring and replied, “OK. Let’s do it.”

She could understand the situation. While powers from experts and champions also worked, they did so only at a fraction of their strength.

The dragon had superior physical defense, and he could nullify spells. On top of that, it seemed like he had unlimited mana. Where was he getting the mana from?

Junhyuk wanted to know if he could land a critical hit with his Spatial Slash, but he had to ready himself before the force field disappeared.

“Have the others focus their powers at a single point on the dragon!” he ordered.

Lucy nodded and set a target. She had had the novices practice focused targeting, so it was time to put it to use.

The novices would draw the dragon’s attention. Once the force field disappeared, all of the novices would attack. The others would also attack the dragon at that point.

The force field faded away, and the dragon looked around and said, “Strange power.”

The membrane had kept everything inside it, and the dragon was curious about how a human could have a power like that.

Kalgroan also thought about the Spatial Slash. He had been able to dodge it due to his draconic instincts. The dragon stared at Junhyuk while thinking that the term hero fit the human well.

While Kalgroan pondered everything, a massive volley of powers slammed against him.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The attacks focused on a single spot, and the dragon turned to the powered people below. He launched a fireball against the bothersome novices.

Some novices had blocking powers, and so did some experts, but the fireball covered Gwanghwamun when it exploded.

The dragon had only turned to look at the novices for a moment, and suddenly, thunderbolts slammed against his head. A lightning storm covered the entire Gwanghwamun area.
