Junhyuk quickly inspected the items.

Madness Gear (Socket Item)
Attack Speed +5%
Attack +10
Simply socket the item to a bracer, and it will increase your attack and attack speed. It’s expensive, and its effectiveness is well known. Attack speed increases by 5 percent, and attack increases by ten.
---
He could socket it to his gauntlet, and it would increase his attack and attack speed. Regina usually dropped socket items, and he was grateful.
He could sell it to Bebe, but he would only get half the price, so he wanted to use it for himself. The boost in attack was as good as a Pure Golden Knight Bracelet. It wasn’t a set item, but Junhyuk was happy, and he inspected the steel bracelet as well.

Iron Wall’s Steel Bracelet
Defense +40
Health +300
Essential for any tank, it gives the wearer high health and defense. It increases defense by forty and health by three hundred.
---
Junhyuk had no intention of bing a tank. His ideal hero was Arn, who was a bnced type, and attack received a bigger focus in bnced heroes. That’s if he could be a hero. In the current situation, he picked up the dropped items and wore them. If he sold them to Bebe, he wouldn’t get much out of them.
Junhyuk put the Iron Wall’s Steel Bracelet on and felt his health increasing.
"Whew!"
He socketed the Madness Gear on his gauntlet and made a fist. He had killed two heroes with one attack. He had experienced a lot of danger in his life, but he could now earn a lot more. Junhyuk smiled with satisfaction and looked back. Arn and Vera were killing the remaining minions. He looked at the allies’ tower. Its force field was nearly gone.
"We don’t have any minions with us, but we will destroy the tower. Sarang has a regenerative power, so we won’t lose any health."
Junhyuk nodded and went toward the enemy tower. It had no riflemen, just archers, and it would be easy to take it down.
Arn attacked first, and the rest of them followed him. Sarang used her health regeneration on Arn, and they were all topped up while destroying the tower.
Their tower’s force field was almost gone, but it was still standing. The allies were winning.
Arn looked at the destroyed enemy tower, pulled out a crystal ball and closed his eyes. He wasmunicating with the other heroes, and Junhyuk just stared at him.
Then, he opened his eyes.
"In the upper area, only one enemy hero appeared, so they killed him and destroyed the tower. They want to meet us in the center, so let’s go."
"Yes."
Three had attacked one and killed the hero. Junhyuk’s group attacked two, so there had to be another two in the center, and attacking the center would mean killing all enemy heroes.
Both groups had destroyed a tower. The allies were winning, and they had to hurry. They ran toward the central tower. The heroes from the upper path would join them. As the group ran, they saw the other heroes by the tower.
Their tower was already destroyed, and Junhyuk smacked his lips.
"Thinking about it, the first tower was nearly destroyed."
If two enemy heroes came this way, the tower would’ve been destroyed. Arn and Vera had been together, and the other allied tower was almost destroyed. It was bound to happen without any allied heroes in that ce.
Junhyuk looked around, and Diane walked over to him and pped his butt.
p!
He covered it with both of his hands and looked back. Diane was just standing there, smiling at him.
"I earned a lot because of you."
He thought he had a chance, so he pulled out the Twin-Headed Ogre’s Umbilical Cord.
"Arn told me you want to enhance your bowstring? How about this?"
Diane took it, looked it over and smiled.
"I couldn’t find any when I was hunting. You got one?!"
"Do you want to buy it?"
She blinked.
"You want money from me! Are you selling it?"
He smiled and pulled the cord from her hand.
"If you don’t want it, it’s fine."
Junhyuk turned around, and Diane gave out a heartyugh.
"You can’t take a joke. I’ll buy it."
He turned around smiling, and Diane summoned her te.
"Put your hand on it."
He did, and it disyed his gold: 19,240G.
He had gotten items instead of money for killing the two heroes. He only got money when he helped in killing a hero, so he hadn’t gotten much this time around. However, he got two more items, so it didn’t matter much. Still, it was better to have more money, and he wanted to upgrade his equipment.
Then, the number shot to 79,240G, and Junhyuk looked at her. Diane smiled at him with her eyes.
"I gave you some more."
"It’s not just some!"
"Don’t worry. I needed the item."
Junhyuk was curious about how much they had bet on him, and Halo walked over and pushed his helmet down.
"They destroyed the central tower and retreated."
Arn thought for a moment and said, "Two isn’t enough to kill a dragon. We’ll destroy their tower and find a buff monster."
"We are five. It’s better for us to go kill the dragon now," Halo suggested, and Arn nodded in agreement.
"It might be too early, but it’s still a good idea. What do you think?"
"Sure."
Everyone agreed, and they dashed out to destroy the tower. With five heroes on one tower, it was too easy. They pulverized it quickly and headed toward the Dragon’s Valley. Junhyuk looked at Vera.
"Can you give me another mana stone?"
"You want things from the Dimensional Battlefield?"
"Yes. If you have anything else other than mana stones, I’ll take it."
"You are greedy."
Nudra said, "Don’t take too many things from the Dimensional Battlefield."
Junhyuk looked at him, and Nudra continued, "If you find things from the Dimensional Battlefield in your dimension, it means the distance between the two is decreasing."
"What do you mean?"
"Are you the first champion?"
"Yes."
"Then, they’ll send monsters there."
"How did you know?" Junhyuk asked.
"We are heroes, so it doesn’t concern us, but when champions rise, they send monsters to make more champions."
Junhyuk nodded heavily.
"It’s a mess. They started with low-ranking monsters, so I killed them. But they sent stronger monsters."
"Right. It isn’t easy to deal with the administration. Don’t do too much, or they will send even stronger monsters."
Junhyuk had learned his predictions were right, and Nudra continued, "When you take things from here, the distance between the Dimensional Battlefield and there will decrease. More monsters will appear in your dimension as a consequence."
"The appearance of monsters increases just by taking things from here?" he asked.
Sarang was listening and said, "Iron soldiers need to use mana stones to deal with the monsters!"
Nudra smiled bitterly.
"From a snake’s venom, you can make its antidote. When there is a problem, there is a solution."
"What about it? When you take things from here, more monsters will show up. To deal with those monsters, you need more things from here," Vera said.
Junhyuk nodded, and Vera whispered to him, "The lowest-ranked spirit stones can be used to kill monsters."
"Is that true?"
Spirit stones burned everything, and Elise might be able toe up with a new weapon by studying them.
Junhyuk wanted more things from the Dimensional Battlefield. He would sell them, and they would research them to help them fight monsters in the future. He would put the things in the Spatial Bag, and they woulde up with new ways to fight monsters.
He saw the Dragon’s Valley from far away and looked at Sarang.
"This time, you take some."
"Really?! I can?"
Mana stones could be worth $700 million, and Sarang was nervous. Junhyuk smiled at her.
"You are qualified to own one, but don’t sell it. Keep it. Monsters will appear, so sell it when you have to."
"OK."
She smiled, d that she would own something worth $700 million.
Vera looked at Junhyuk.
"The mana stonese from the Dragon’s Valley, but there are other things out there as well. You can find bloodstones from the buff monster Wolf Warlord."
"Yeah?"
He could also get a nice amount for bloodstones.
Diane, who had been listening, asked, "Why are you taking stones back?"
"What should I take back?"
She touched a tree.
"This tree is different from what you see in your dimension. It can produce things on apletely different scale."
"Will there be more monsters if I take this back?"
Dianeughed aloud.
"It could happen, but it will help you more than it hurts."
She broke off a twig and gave it to Junhyuk.
"Take it back with you."
He took it and put it in his Spatial Bag, and her eyes widened.
"Really?! When did you get a Spatial Bag?"
"It was the reward from the Champions’ Battlefield."
She smiled and looked at the trees.
"Don’t just take anything you want. Ask me about the trees. If not, it may be dangerous for your dimension."
He became nervous about what she had said, and Diane pped his butt loudly.
"Just take what I give you."
He knew the heroes would have the most knowledge. They gave him a mana stone and told him where to find bloodstones. If he had time, he will go after the Wolf Warlord and take the bloodstone with him. Diane’s gift might also be expensive.
It was a good thing he had a good rtionship with the heroes. They talked and arrived at the Dragons’ Valley. Junhyuk looked at the group.
"We don’t have any minions with us?"
"Why? Scared?"
"NO!"
Minions could only draw the dragon’s attention at the start. There was no reason to be scared, and Junhyuk didn’t have to take the lead.
"Then, let’s go?"
Arn lead the group to the narrow entrance of the Dragon’s Valley. The dragon was sleeping. Junhyuk learned something new. He was a champion now, and his soul was bigger, so he learned that the dragon was really dangerous. He could see it much better now.
Arn stepped forward.
"We’ve upgraded our equipment. Kill it before the enemy gets here."
Arn dashed forward, and Junhyuk followed him. A small spider was watching all of their movements at the Dragon’s Valley.
