Legend of Legends

Because he couldn’t invite anyone, he trained alone as much as he wanted. On Friday, Junhyuk watched Ling Ling’s fight, winning 90 percent of what he had bet.

By the way, Ling Ling’s skills had improved. Her sense of battle and her timing on her use of her powers had increased. Her team also had improved in its teamwork, so unless something changed, her team would continue to win.

However, by that point, the returns were too low, so Junhyuk decided to look for another team to bet on.

Once he returned to the training facility, he started practicing the Dimensional Slash again. Suddenly, Elise contacted him, so he went to see her in her lab. She was crafting Moon Core. When she saw him, she smiled at him.

“I found him.”

“Where is he?”

“In an underground bunker in the desert. We had to use five thousand drones to look for him. If we hadn’t done that, it would’ve taken us over a month.”

Junhyuk frowned a little and said, “He hid himself well.”

“He had plans set up, which is just like Charles.”

“Can he escape?”

“The bunker is connected to underground tunnels, but I deployed iron soldiers at each of those tunnels.”

“So, the iron soldiers have him surrounded?”

“Yes.”

“Does Charles have any guards with him?”

“As far as I know, there are thirty guards there.”

Junhyuk nodded and said, “I’ll go.”

“I prepared the teleportation device so that you can go straight to one of the tunnels connected to the bunker.”

Junhyuk smiled at her, saying, “I’ll go get him.”

He activated the teleportation device, and his surroundings changed. Looking around, Junhyuk saw the deployment of iron soldiers, ten in total. There were iron soldiers guarding every tunnel. Those were unofficial iron soldiers.

Junhyuk peered into the tunnel. Using his spatial sense, he felt the people moving inside, far away from him. Walking in their direction, he swung his sword behind him. The wind blade he released destroyed the tunnel’s entrance, and Junhyuk pushed on.

With the entrance destroyed, a siren alarm went off. Junhyuk could sense people running in his direction, so he waited. Twelve men showed up. Looking at their healths, they were all experts.

“Did he make more experts?” Junhyuk walked toward them and said, “If you give up now, you won’t get too hurt.”

“Bullshit!”

A man rushed toward Junhyuk, so he quickly slashed at the man. The sword struck the man and shattered his bones. Because he knew they had all had R-potions, Junhyuk hit hard enough so that they wouldn’t be able to recover.

He looked at them, and the experts extended their hands toward him. Seeing that, he clicked his tongue and accelerated.

To experts, Junhyuk’s acceleration was akin to teleporting. The experts’ powers careened through the air, and Junhyuk slashed at them. He didn’t kill them, but they wouldn’t recuperate any time soon.

Junhyuk could feel the bustling ahead. He could read their movements. The enemies were all bunched up, so he teleported.

“Nothing.”

The experts were moving about, but Charles wasn’t among them. Without uttering a word, Junhyuk swung his sword.

With him still accelerating, all of the enemies fell. Junhyuk teleported again. Only one group remained: two champions and five experts.

Charles was there.

Charles was behind the terrorist attack, but his health was like that of an ordinary human. The man had to have powers, but Junhyuk might be wrong on that. Curious, Junhyuk slashed at the formation.

One of the champions turned his body to stone, and Junhyuk scoffed at that, attacking that champion’s thigh.

Clang!

“Ugh!”

The champion could increase his defense, but Junhyuk’s damage was too high. The champion didn’t have any defensive items, so he couldn’t endure Junhyuk’s attack.

Junhyuk simply struck the champion with the blunt side of his sword, like he had been doing so far, otherwise, the champion would’ve been sliced in half.

After dealing with the powered people, Junhyuk turned to Charles, who smiled at him.

“I thought I could do something with powers, but the numbers of powered you have is not important.”

“It might’ve been possible before.”

Previously, when Junhyuk hadn’t had the items, the number of powered people and powers at Charles’ disposal might have made a difference. Now, things were different.

Artlan had killed a million rebels in his word, and Junhyuk’s skills weren’t too far behind Artlan’s. Junhyuk could kill a million people if he wanted to.

He walked toward Charles and said, “I know you are behind this, but how did you do it?”

Charles smirked and replied, “When I was kidnapped by the infected, I activated a power.”

“Your health and mana are the same.”

“You don’t know everything.” Charles extended his arms and added, “OK. What is your next move?”

Without missing a beat, Junhyuk answered, “You have to pay for your sins. Do you know how many died because of you?”

Charles smirked and replied, “They are just dead. I need the world. My mind is made up.”

“You are hiding.”

“I failed once, but I can’t give up now.”

“If you come with me now, you won’t feel any pain.”

Charles nodded and got up. He seemed resigned to his fate, so Junhyuk didn’t do anything. He walked toward Charles and frowned.

Time suddenly stopped, and a dimensional tear appeared. Eltor stepped through it.

The manager looked at him and said, “Long time, no see.”

“Do you know Charles?”

Eltor smirked.

“Couldn’t you guess?”

“I could. The timing for the monster waves and the attack was perfect. It made me furious.”

Charles seemed content with what was happening.

“Are you here to save me?”

Eltor looked at the man and replied, “Your power is precious. I can’t let you die.”

Junhyuk scoffed at them. With how many champions and experts Charles had, Junhyuk had a grasp for what his power was.

Charles was like a legendary creature, and Junhyuk wanted to check on whether his power worked on champions. He decided that Eltor couldn’t take Charles.

“You won’t have your way.”

Eltor stared at him and asked, “Do you have the power to stop me?”

Junhyuk gripped his swords tightly. The hydra had been able to read the Dimensional Slash, but Junhyuk had been training since that battle. He stared at Eltor, and the manager smiled.

“You’ve got an interesting power, but it’s not complete yet.”

Junhyuk knew what Eltor was saying, so he bit his lip and replied, “Let’s try it just once.”

He did not have to swing his sword to release a Dimensional Slash. Eltor could stop time, and the manager might kill him for that, but Junhyuk, standing still, released the Dimensional Slash all the same.

Slash!

The slash cut through Eltor’s neck, and the manager disappeared. Blue liquid was left in his place.

Junhyuk quickly looked around, but Eltor grabbed his neck, blue liquid sputtering out of the manager’s neck.

Eltor shouted, “You dare attack a manager and think you’ll survive?!”

Eltor was releasing a lot of energy. Junhyuk dropped to the ground.

Eltor could control time and space, and Junhyuk thought that the manager would obviously be strong because of that, but that had been naive.

Since becoming a hero, Junhyuk had felt nothing like Eltor’s energy at that moment.

He got up slowly, and Eltor slowly raised his hand. Junhyuk felt time slow down and stop. He tried teleporting, but time was at a standstill. However, he was the only one being affected by it.

Junhyuk could sense that, and Eltor walked toward him.

“I didn’t take away your consciousness.”

Because only time had stopped, Junhyuk was able to trigger Harmonizer. With it active, he became able to move again.

Eltor had tried to stop him, but Junhyuk regained his movements. Resisting, however, wasn’t easy. Eltor was standing right in front of him, but when he felt Harmonizer respond to his will, Junhyuk smiled.

Eltor wanted to watch him cower in fear, so the manager was furious with his response and attacked him. Smiling, Junhyuk triggered a Spatial Collapse.

Craaaacck!

The attack was unexpected, so while Eltor was able to dodge, he lost half of his body in the process. His left arm and ribs were gone.

Eltor bled blue blood all over the floor, but he did not die. Time started moving again.

Willing Harmonizer into his swords, Junhyuk ran forward. Suddenly, however, he felt a strong impact.

Boom!

He didn’t know what it was, but Junhyuk still lost half of his health. Across from him, Eltor was holding a pistol in his right hand.

“He-he-he! You are just a like a struggling dog. You dared attack me! ME!”

Eltor stopped time again and attacked Junhyuk, who knew he had to kill the manager now. There would be no such thing as a second chance.

“Shit!”
