Legend of Legends

Junhyuk’s expression hardened. If his enemy was a hero, he couldn’t be sure of whether he could kill that hero. An enemy hero might have been born a hero, unlike Junhyuk.

Junhyuk had become a hero by activating powers, one by one, in the Dimensional Battlefield. Some heroes joined the Dimensional Battlefield as heroes, being qualified for that tier from the beginning.

Until he became a hero, Junhyuk had needed to learn the basics from Artlan. He was now learning about Aksha’s Longsword, but what about his enemy?

If his enemy had begun as a hero, that enemy would be a very difficult opponent. Junhyuk didn’t want to face that trial alone. He had a weird feeling about it.

“Artlan, you said that heroes can cross dimensions, but this time, they showed up from a dimensional tear with monsters in tow…”

“If there are monsters and they used a dimensional tear, the managers must have something to do with it.”

The managers of the Dimensional Battlefield, especially Eltor.

Junhyuk scowled and said, “That asshole!”

He didn’t know how to complete his Dimensional Slash so that he could attack the managers, but he was still furious.

“When I kill these heroes, can I pick up their items?” he asked.

“Of course.”

Junhyuk opened and closed his hands repetitively. It wouldn’t be easy. If there were more than two heroes, even with his high attack stat and spatial powers, things would be difficult.

“Thanks for the advice.”

Artlan grabbed a bottle and said, “You are the only one of my students who has become a hero. Don’t die in some stupid way. If you act stupid, I’ll go over to Earth to teach you a lesson.”

“Can’t you come now?”

“Don’t you know how expensive it is to cross dimensions?”

Junhyuk smiled. Artlan would avenge him if the worst happened. That was his way of expressing his feelings, so Junhyuk bowed to him and said, “I’ll live.”

Artlan took another shot and disconnected.

Junhyuk knew he couldn’t go to the center of the fog at that moment, so he quickly retreated with Ganesha. When he rejoined Sarang, she asked, “Why have you come back?”

He told her about what Artlan had told him, “This is called Dark Fog. Black mages of the eighth circle can cast it.”

“Eighth circle?!”

Because Sarang was surprised by that, Junhyuk asked, “What? Is that really high?”

Sarang nodded and said, “I have all those intelligence runestones, but I’m only at the sixth circle.” She sighed and added, “Vera told me I’m learning faster than anyone she’s ever taught.”

Junhyuk didn’t know anything about the circles, so he asked, “Is the black mage more powerful than you?”

“As far as spells go, yes, but I have other powers. Technically, with my powers, I’m equivalent to a mage of the ninth circle.”

“Really?”

Sarang’s Thunderstorm could decimate heroes. With better equipment, her powers would only get stronger.

Junhyuk took a moment to think and said, “If there are heroes here, I don’t know how many there are. We have to move together.”

Sarang’s had her ultimate, so she wouldn’t die. Once it triggered, she could always run away.

He turned to the champions. Heroes could easily kill champions, but the champions could also help out.

Jeffrey stepped forward and said, “I want to help.”

“You might die.”

Jeffrey had a Ghost White Tiger, and there were heroes that couldn’t kill one of those. If the Ghost White Tiger went berserk, it would really help them. On top of that, Jeffrey could lock down a hero.

He didn’t know about who their enemies were at that moment, so Junhyuk couldn’t make up his mind. Knowing that he might lose them, Junhyuk didn’t really want to take the champions with him.

The champions had been training to fight dragons, and they all walked up to him. They weren’t heroes, but they were powerful. They could certainly help.

Ling Ling spoke up for them, saying, “Allow us to help you.”

Sarang looked him in the eyes and bowed in support.

Junhyuk sighed quickly and said, “There are heroes inside the fog. You know all about heroes, right? We’re on Earth, and there are no extra lives.”

Ling Ling stared at him resolute.

“You’ll be with us. Will it still be that dangerous?”

He nodded and explained, “If there is a lone hero, we’ll trounce them. If there are two, we’ll still overpower them. Three might be a problem. Four, and we’ll all be in danger.”

Junhyuk bit his lips and concluded, “If there are five heroes inside the fog, we’ll get demolished.”

“But all the champions will join you.”

If all of the champions used their powers, they would be able to stop one or two heroes. On top of that, they could buy him time.

In the Dimensional Battlefield, he would’ve attacked with them, but now, he couldn’t make up his mind.

“If you champions can distract two enemies, our success rate will go up. You’ll have to risk your lives, so I won’t force you to do it.”

The champions looked at each other and turned to him.

“We will fight.”

“OK. Then, we’ll get things ready,” he replied.

The Dark Fog’s radius reached three kilometers horizontally, but the fog wasn’t very tall at all. It reached about a hundred meters from the ground. That meant that it was also a hundred meters from the top of the mountain.

“We’ll take our drones to just above the fog. Then, we’ll jump in. Don’t ignore the height of the fall.”

Everyone frowned. They were worried about falling from a hundred meters up.

He looked at them and said, “I’ll teleport with you. If everyone holds hands, I can take you all.”

They all nodded. There were nine champions, and they all got on their drones. Before they left, Junhyuk told Eunseo about the situation.

Missiles wouldn’t work against heroes normally, but if the enemies received a direct hit, a missile could kill them, so Junhyuk told Eunseo about the possibility of all of them dying. He told her to use the missiles if that happened. He told Eunseo that she should raze Dobong Mountain with napalm if that happened.

Eunseo nodded heavily and ordered an aircraft carrier to remain on standby.

“Don’t die on me.”

Junhyuk smiled. He didn’t want to die.

Junhyuk got on the drone and flew out. The champions followed him. All nine champions and Sarang were with him, and they all headed for the fog.

They headed for the top of Dobong Mountain. There, he extended his left hand for Sarang, and they all held each others’ hands. Looking at them, he said, “Let’s go.”

He teleported all of them into the fog. He couldn’t see his enemies, but his spatial sense was telling him that something was moving.

The enemies couldn’t sense him like he could them, so he attacked immediately. Aksha’s Longsword flashed.

Clang!

Someone blocked his attack. He could see his enemy then. His opponent was holding a scythe while riding a skeleton horse.

“Alondo?!”

The hero on his horse looked down at him. Skulls didn’t smile, but he got the impression that Alondo was smiling.

“I was waiting for you to arrive.”

Junhyuk was speechless. He didn’t think Alondo would go that far.

The hero was skilled. He could push Junhyuk to his limits with his scythe. Junhyuk’s eyes beamed however. He was on Earth, and his powers were stronger there. On top of that, he could still use mana.

Though he couldn’t see, he had his spatial sense. With it, he sensed that there were four within the fog.

“Did you bring your whole team?”

“You’re worth it.”

Junhyuk was speechless. He had thought Alondo to be an honorable knight, but now, the hero was scoffing at him.

Junhyuk was furious.

“If I’d known you’d do this, I would’ve kicked your ass more often.”

If he had taken all of Alondo’s items, the hero wouldn’t have dared to go to Earth.

Alondo, who was at ease, said, “Here, things will be different.”

The black mage of the eighth circle had to be the most powerful of the bunch. At that moment, Junhyuk decided who he would kill first. Epilen had a stealth power, so the hero would be his first target.

Junhyuk couldn’t sense the last enemy hero, who was probably the skeleton archer, Penslin.

He had to kill them fast, so he ran toward Epilen and shouted, “Attack Alondo!”

Lightning bolts fell from the sky.
