<h4>Chapter 530: Clue 1</h4>
When Junhyuk got back to Earth, he shared his thoughts with Sarang and Elise. He told them that future enemies would have a harder time controlling the battlefield with their equipment, and both women nodded.
“Instead of equipment, our powers will control the battlefield?”
“That’s right. Our team has no tanks, so Gongon and I should take the lead and block. Tanks have taunt powers, so we shoulde up with a way to deal with that.”
“I should raise my defense.”
Elise had her nullification field. If she took the role of a tank, she would be of great help. She could take the lead and cancel all of the enemies’ powers.
Junhyuk stared at her. Women could be tanks, but the role didn’t really suit her. She was extremely intelligent, so would having her as a tank be best?
“I can increase my defense by upgrading the items I have now.”
“Zaira has been upgraded, so you should could deal with the enemy together. You should increase your attack by upgrading your weapon.”
Elise was insisting on tanking, but Junhyuk felt he should keep her from doing that. He took a moment to think and said, “OK. You can be the team’s tank and buffer.”
La should get more items to raise her attack. Sarang would be the long range attacker of the group, and Junhyuk and Gongon would float between close range damagers and tanks.
Elise smiled and said, “When Dianees over, I’ll research something with her.”
“Sure. Once I’m ready to invite everyone, I’ll call you.”
“OK,” Elise said with a smile and left.
Junhyuk looked at Sarang and said, “You should be our strongest damager.”
“Whoa! Isn’t that some pressure?”
“It is.”
After thinking for a moment, Sarang replied, “Then, I should focus on lightning spells and items.”
“Right. Your heal is strong enough as it is, so you should focus on your damage.”
“OK. I’ll create something better than your Spatial sh. You just wait.”
Junhyukughed and replied, “OK. I’ll be waiting.”
Sarang left for her house, and Junhyuk went to see Eunseo. He would invite Eunseo to the next gathering. At that moment, however, Eunseo was still sleeping.
Junhyuk looked at the files and documents on her desk while she slept. They were files on novices and experts. Looking over them, Junhyuk found out that there were many powered people now.
ording to the files, there were over eight hundred powered. A surprising number of people were bing novices.
“I just need one more hero.”
Eltor hadn’t made himself known yet, and Junhyuk was getting frustrated with that. The manager was constantly causing trouble, and for that reason, Junhyuk really wanted to acquire the Dimensional sh.
Eunseo woke up and noticed him staring at her.
“Are you up?”
She smiled and replied, “Yes.” She yawned hard and added, “That was a good rest.”
Junhyukughed out loud and asked, “How was your time in the castle?”
“It was safe and boring. I trained.”
“Right.”
Once she activated another power, she would be able to fight. Her items were on par with champions’ items, but she only had one life.
“I need materials for my party.”
“I thought so. Are you putting it all inside your Spatial Bag?”
“Right.”
“I’ll get everything ready now, then.”
“Thank you.”
She replied, “I should thank you. I’m safe on the battlefield now.”
Junhyuk grabbed her hand and said while they looked at each other, “We are now in the round of sixteen. It won’t be long before we reach the final.”
“If we win, will the monster waves stop?”
“No. We need another human hero for that.”
One champions should be a hero. The Champions’ Battlefield was still ongoing, so he hoped one of them would make the transition.
Junhyuk went to the storage facility where the drinks were. The alcohol was very expensive, but the heroes drank it all like water. Eunseo had already prepared them, so Junhyuk used the Spatial Bag to move everything across. He had to take a few trips to move everything, so he decided to ask Sarang for help the next time.
After setting up the bottles, he smiled and said, “Whew! The alcohol is ready.”
The food would be served in waves at different times, and those who were resting at those times would be in charge of it.
After getting the first batch of food ready, Junhyuk invited everyone, and all of the heroes appeared quickly. They drank and ate and talked.
As expected, Arn’s team won their match and moved onto the round of sixteen. Junhyuk wished he wouldn’t have to fight Arn. He wouldn’t be able to win as he was now.
They talked about their enemies, and when Arn heard about Minota, heughed out loud and asked more about them.
“It was easy. I got a pentakill.”
“Ha-ha-ha! I wish I could’ve seen it.”
“Yeah. It was quite the scene.”
Arnughed again and emptied the bottle in his hand. Then, he pulled out a bottle from his chest and said, “OK. To celebrate our victories, I brought you this drink from my home. Congrattions on the pentakill!”
Junhyuk took the ss from Arn and emptied.
“Cough!!”
He finally understood what kind of drinks Arn preferred. It was just like poison, pure alcohol.
“How can you drink this?”
“This is how drinks should be.”
Junhyuk shook his head. That was the strongest liquor he had ever tasted, and Arn was drinking it like it was nothing. Junhyuk was astonished by that, but Arn was enjoying himself.
Arn finished the bottle and said, “OK. Let’s see your pentakill skills.”
Junhyuk got up from his seat and asked, “Like on the battlefield?”
Arnughed and replied, “Why? Now that your skills have increased, you think you can win with your powers?”
“No. To get the most out of our training, we should use anything we can use in the battlefield.”
“Right. Good thinking.” Arn unsheathed his sabers and added, “Let’s fight for real.”
Junhyuk considered his powers high-tiered, so he didn’t think he would lose the duel.
“A real fight between teacher and student?”
Arnughed and replied, “I want the same thing.”
Junhyuk stared at the hero. This time, he was nning to use all of his powers. He did not want to die, but he would fight. He thought that Arn might die if he used the Spatial Copse, so he used the Spatial sh first.
Arn sensed it and dodged it. Not only was it not a critical hit, but Arn evaded itpletely, receiving no damage.
Junhyuk teleported and closed in, but Arn was waiting for that, so he triggered hisbo power.
ng, ng, ng!
Junhyuk blocked the attacks with his sword. In the Dimensional Battlefield, he would’ve still received damage from blocking a power, but on Earth, he prevented all of the damage. However, his hands ached to the point that they felt like they were about to drop.
Arn attacked his ribs, and Junhyunk teleported multiple times in response and stabbed at the hero. By using his teleportations, Junhyuk was making his attacks hard to block or dodge, but Arn had already dodged the Spatial sh, so he dodged everything else with ease.
Not only did Arn dodge, but he also counterattacked. Seeing that, Junhyuk raised his force field.
ng!
Arn jumped, and Junhyuk teleported behind him. He stabbed at the hero, but Arn jumped again in midair. He had never seen Arn move like that, so Junhyuk’s eyes widened.
Arnughed and said, “You are not the only one to have evolved your powers.”
While in the air, Arnunched his saber at Junhyuk. It pounded against the force field.
ng, ng, ng!
The saber bounced off, and Arn grabbed it again. Wielding both sabers, Arn smiled and asked, “Ten seconds, right?”
The hero distanced himself from Junhyuk, who had already used all of his teleportations. Junhyuk elerated and ran toward Arn, but Arn’s eleration was faster.
Junhyuk wanted to get closer, but Arn was staying far away. After ten seconds, Arn closed in on him. Junhyuk knew what Arn was nning, and Arn knew all of Junhyuk’s powers.
Junhyuk made up his mind then. He had to use the Spatial Copse.
He was sure that Arn would die, so he triggered it on Arn’s left arm. But, Arn could read everything. The hero moved sideways and dodged a direct hit. He still got pulled, however, so when Arn lost his bnce, Junhyuk stabbed at him.
But, Arn was just pulled by the void. He didn’t get stuck there, so he immediately chased after Junhyuk to attack him.
Junhyuk attacked as well.
Arn managed to block and deflect all of Junhyuk’s attacks. Then, Arn swung at Junhyuk, who tried to move his head as quickly as possible, but the saber was already grazing his neck.
“How did you do it?”
“I did not teach you everything I know.”
