Junhyuk had been attacked twice, losing 65 percent of his health. Considering his defense, this was amazing. After being counterattacked, he mounted his own attacks. Counterattacks were attacks that allowed you to parry an iing attack and make one of your own. As a power, the enemy’s attack went through thin air, creating an opening for your own. Still, there had to be a weakness to counterattacks, and when Junhyuk realized there was nothing he could do but take the hit, he let it happen and stabbed forward with the Frozen Rune Sword right after. The sword went through Kilraden’s body, and the assassin stopped in ce. Junhyuk only had 35 percent of health left, but that single attack from him had taken away 12 percent of Kilraden’s health. Junhyuk hade to the conclusion that since both sides had used their powers, victory would be decided by swordsmanship. ng, ng, ng! He pushed hard with his attacks, and while Kilraden parried and blocked, he was pushed back little by little. Junhyuk kept chasing after Kilraden, amazed by the assassin’s skills with his dagger. Even though he was swinging dual swords, Junhyuk couldn’t use them both to stab at the same time. However, he kept on thebo. Still, Kilraden kept his bnce and kept blocking his strikes. Because of that, Junhyuk was having a hard time finding an opening. Nevertheless, he thought he could kill the assassin with one critical hit and he wanted to put an end to the fight. Kilraden only had 16 percent of his health. Surely, Junhyuk had the advantage. Then, Junhyuk got attacked in the most unexpected way. Kraken’s tentacles suddenly wrapped around his arms. Because he was tied up, Kilraden got really close to his chest, trying to stab his heart, but Junhyuk turned his body away. The attack didn’t hit his heart, but he was still wounded and damaged. It was just a regr attack, and he had dodged a critical hit, but he still lost 12 percent of his health. Junhyuk wondered how many items Kilraden had from the battlefield. He couldn’t believe the assassin was a new champion. Junhyuk focused while Kilraden pulled the dagger out and tried to stab with it again. Kilraden’s skill with the dagger was definitely masterful, but Junhyuk could still dodge it. The problem was that one of his hands was still tied up, but although a dangerous situation, he could still fight. Junhyuk felt the living spirit move quickly and activated eleration. In South Korea, eleration made his body move faster, enabling him to sh his enemies, but now it was different. To his eyes, the enemies movement had slow down, but so had his. In fact, he was seeing things in slow motion. Previously, he could have countered with eleration, but it was not the case now. They were still moving at the same speed, so there was only one way to solve that problem. He had to read the enemy’s path while using the least amount of movement to get there and counter. He was relieved that his enemy had been debuffed by the Frozen Rune Sword. So, he predicted the enemy’s path. Expecting the dagger to fly toward him, he spun around and raised his sword. With the Blood Rune Sword up, he meant to attack the enemy’s blindspot. From Kilraden’s position, and because of the debuff, the assassin was not able to read Junhyuk’s movements. That was a big gain for Junhyuk. Now, he knew that he could use eleration in the Dimensional Battlefield, and Junhyuk thought that if he had to get stabbed by the dagger, he would let it through a spot where it would damage him the least. At the same time, he twisted around and stabbed with his sword. The dagger had been aimed at his heart, but it went through his lung. Kilraden had a smile on his face, but Junhyuk stabbed him through the ribs with the Blood Rune Sword, and the sword went up to the assassin’s heart, piercing it deeply. Kilraden couldn’t understand what had happened. It was a critical hit, and the assassin lost all of his health. The soft voice made the weing announcement. [You’ve killed Kilraden and earned 3,000G.] Junhyuk smiled with satisfaction, and the world returned to its normal speed. Suddenly, the scenery in front of him changed. Boom! Junhyuk sat up while holding his head and swung the Frozen Rune Sword against the tentacles. He came loose, spun around and got up quickly. Junhyuk had lost some health from Kilraden’s attacks, but because he had attacked with the Blood Rune Sword, he had recovered to 14 percent of his health. Just now, when he got mmed against the ground, he lost 8 percent, so he only had 6 percent of his health left. Once up, he shouted, "Are you not done yet?!" Kraken had 35 percent of its health, and Gongon had 22 percent of his health. Junhyuk’s Spatial sh hadn’t returned yet, but Gongon was still transformed. The hatchling was punching Kraken on the face, and Junhyuk frowned and ran toward them. He couldn’t just rely on Gongon’s attacks. As he ran, he saw the tentacles flying toward him. Junhyuk wanted to use eleration again, but when he tried, he just got a headache, so instead he went as fast as he could while dodging the tentacles. Kraken had thought it could kill them both, but Junhyuk wouldn’t let that happen. Junhyuk didn’t act impatiently. He wanted to attack Kraken the right way, so he didn’t want to waste time fighting its tentacles. Kraken’s attack speed was debuffed, and with time, Junhyuk would find an opening. The octopus also had to focus on Gongon, and its attacks against Junhyuk weren’t really working. Junhyuk closed the gap between them. Kraken had a lot of health, but Gongon’s attacks were certainly strong. As Junhyuk closed in, Gongonnded two hits on Kraken, leaving it with 15 percent of its health. Junhyuk saw an opening and stabbed at it with the Blood Rune Sword. The attack went in deep, but it wasn’t a critical hit, and Kraken only lost 8 percent of its health. "Ugh!" Kraken went berserk and attacked furiously, but Junhyuk stepped on Kraken’s head and dodged it all. Junhyuk’s health was low enough that he could die with a single hit, so he decided to dodge while Gongon’s fist mmed hard against Kraken’s head, taking the rest of Kraken’s health. [Gongon killed Kraken.] Junhyuk sighed, relieved, and turned to Gongon Both of them could’ve been killed if anything had gone wrong. Junhyuk copsed on the ground, gasping for air, and the hatchling walked over to him and rested his head on Junhyuk’s stomach. "Shit! This is hard." "Right!? Kraken must’ve gotten some new items." Gongon smirked and said, "But, we won." Junhyuk knew they had won, but it hadn’t been afortable victory. Kilraden, Nid and Kraken’sbination could kill the allies at any given time. "From now on, we have to be careful of team battles." "Yes. Aktur is very weak, so he won’t be much help." Junhyuk tapped Gongon’s head lightly and said, "But we won because Aktur pulled Kraken." "Aktur’s powers are impressive. Too bad we can’t use them more often." That had to be because Aktur had the worst items among the allied champions. Junhyuk hadn’t checked it, but Aktur wascking in basic strength despite his powers having great effects. Aktur wasn’t shining on the Champions’ Battlefield. Gongon was strong enough, even unequipped, and Junhyuk’s items were decent. Aktur wascking in both personal strength and good items. Junhyuk smiled bitterly and got up. As he did, Gongon’s head fell to the ground, and the hatchling frowned. "Let’s go see Bebe." "OK." Gongon got up and got on his back, and Junhyuk sighed and asked, "Did you bring some more nice items this time?" "Some dragons wanted more candy, and they gave me some items. I’ll make money in the exchange." Now, Junhyuk was very curious. "But can’t dragonse here if they choose to?" Junhyuk was going over the stepping stones when Gongon shook his head and said, "Not every dragon cane here." "Really?" "Only dragons in line to be dragon lords cane here. Ordinary dragons can’t." "Not any other dragon, right?" he asked. "Right." Gongon raised his shoulders proudly, and Junhyukughed and asked, curious, "Are there things you can’t use here that you can use in reality?" "Hm." Gongon put his hand deep inside his Spatial Bag and pulled out a bracelet. "How about this?" "What is that?" "It’s an item magicians particrly like. It gathers mana. It absorbs mana from the environment and transfers it to whoever is wearing it." Shocked, Junhyuk stared up at Gongon. "Why aren’t you using it?" Gongon smiled. "There is more mana here than in other dimension. It doesn’t affect me because I’m a dragon, but I brought it anyway." Junhyuk’s eyes widened. It really was something. If he wore the bracelet, he could train the living spirit even while not in the training facility. "That’s amazing." "Take it." Gongon dropped it, and Junhyuk picked it up. "This isn’t an item?" "It has no other power, so it can’t be an item in the Dimensional Battlefield." "How do you know?" "The heroes told mest time I fought with them." After Gongon gave him the bracelet, Junhyuk asked, "Can you get me some more?" "Why?" "Some people need it." It wouldn’t just be of help to him with the living spirit, who absorbed mana constantly. The bracelet would also help novices and experts among his allies. After Gongon heard him say that, heughed. "The fact is that in order to measure the Dimensional Battlefield mana, I brought several of them. Maybe I was aware that something might go wrong." After saying that, Gongon dropped another eight bracelets, and Junhyuk was d to be friends with the dragon. "Gongon, I’ll give you more piggyback rides!" "Ha-ha-ha! I only gave you some items, but if I can get more rides, I’ll take it." Junhyukughed. The dragon might not be aware of it, but those items would help Junhyuk a lot. "How do I use it?" "When it’s filled with mana, it’ll turn blue. When it’s empty, it’ll turn red. Just be aware of it. When all of the mana is gone, just go somewhere with plenty of it, and it’ll start absorbing it again." "So, I absorb more mana the more I use it?" "Of course." Still curious, Junhyuk asked, "What about people who can’t control mana?" "Then, it’ll help your well-being. Mana is one of theponents of life, so it’ll be good for your well-being if you have mana around you." Now, Junhyuk was sure. The items would be of great use to novices, experts and even champions. To be a hero, he didn’t only need power, but he needed other skills too. He needed this item. When he saw the bracelets shining blue, he put them all in his Spatial Bag. "OK. Let’s hurry. We’ll see Bebe and destroy the second tower." Junhyuk picked up the pace. --- He hadn’t seen Bebest time, so it had been a while. "Long time no see!" "I thought I was the only one feeling that way?" "I heard you got paired with legend candidates. I was expecting good news, but you weren’t ready yet." "They are monsters," Junhyuk said, and Gongon became interested. "Legend candidates? Are they strong?" "Very." "How do theypare to me?" Junhyuk smiled at the hatchling and said, "Stronger than you." "Hmph!" Gongon scoffed and turned his head away. Junhyuk smiled at the sight and then looked at Bebe. "Did you get any new Pure Golden Knight set items?" "Nothing." He sighed. His best option was to collect more of the Pure Golden Knight set, but Bebe didn’t have any of those items. After sighing, Junhyuk pulled a ring out of his chest. When Bebe saw it, his eyes widened. "You got that?!" "How much is it?" Bebe smiled. "Kranshel’s Eye Ring. It’s a unique item with a nice price. Two million gold."
