Bebe finished the complex engravings on Junhyuk, and he stepped back. Sarang also wanted to shop. She was looking at different types of weapons because she wanted to improve her regular attack, so she needed a new weapon.
Meanwhile, Junhyuk was focusing on the communication marble. He was told to focus on who he wanted to talk to, so he thought of Artlan.
Suddenly, he heard Artlan's voice.
"You survived?"
Junhyuk answered with a smile, "Yes."
Bebe laughed while looking at him.
"You are unfamiliar with it, but if you get used to it, you won't have to talk out loud."
Junhyuk's face reddened, and he went back to talking with Artlan.
"What about Killa?"
"I killed her."
"How did you do that?"
Junhyuk smiled.
"I activated an attack power."
"You are a champion?!"
"Yes."
He could hear Artlan laughing, which he rarely did, and Junhyuk was surprised.
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you. I'm at the Dimensional Merchant. Should I wait here?"
"No. I thought you two had died, so we were waiting for you to revive. But we have to move right now."
"Where are you going?"
"The Dragon's Valley."
Junhyuk had guessed that's where they would be headed. Victory depended on whether or not they killed the dragon, but they had to be careful. While attempting to kill dragon, they had been killed before. They had also killed those attempting to kill the dragon.
"Can you get there?"
"I think so."
Junhyuk had a gained a different power that inflicted a lot of damage. He was different from before.
"Then, come right away."
"OK."
Junhyuk looked at the minions. He had to take them with him, and it would be a long way. The minions had already gone through a battle, and twenty of them had survived. So, he would take them with him.
Junhyuk looked at Sarang. She was holding two orbs in her hands and thinking.
"Big brother, which one is better?"
Junhyuk looked at Bebe, and he calmly explained their attributes.
"One orb increases electric-type damage, but it only works for electric-type attacks. The other one can be used for anything, but it only increases magic damage by seventy."
He thought for a moment and looked at Sarang.
"It's tough to choose. Maybe you should use the electric type?"
"Hm."
Sarang kept thinking, and Junhyuk looked at her and then at Bebe.
"What about the price?"
"They are the same price. They are higher level orbs than ordinary orbs, and it's possible to upgrade them. They cost 40,000G each."
Sarang had 43,500G. She wanted to buy one and she would also find herself without money after.
He thought some more and asked, "Does a magic attack increase affect her healing power?"
"Yes."
"Only of that type?"
Bebe shook his head, and Junhyuk had his answer.
"Don't buy a single attribute weapon. If you increase your total magic attack, your healing power's effectiveness will also increase. Buy the weapon without an attribute focus."
Sarang agreed with him, and Bebe smiled. The healing power wouldn't change much, but even a small change could decide whether they won or not.
"You have chosen well."
Sarang bought the orb that increased her magic attack by seventy but had no other buff. However, that was enough.
She paid for it and engraved it.
"We should move now. We'll meet them at the Dragon's Valley."
"OK."
He took her and the minions out and moved quickly. It wouldn't be an easy road to their destination. If he were with the heroes, the monsters would be laughable, but he was alone now.
So far, he had crossed many paths at the Dimensional Battlefield and never gotten lost. However, on his way to the Dragon's Valley, he saw something and frowned. It was a twin-headed ogre, and he had run from it before.
He could use his Frozen Rune Sword to debuff the ogre and run from it again, but it would take longer to get to the valley. Junhyuk's role was important if the allies wanted to maximize their potential to kill the dragon, so he sighed and stared at the twin-headed ogre.
"We kill it."
"Is that possible?"
Junhyuk looked at the minions.
"Stay back," he said with authority, and the minions did.
The ogre ran toward them, and Junhyuk lifted his sword. There was some distance between them, and the ogre couldn't imagine being attacked. Then, Junhyuk slashed the air. The attack teleported through space and beheaded one of the ogre's heads.
"Aaaarrggh!" the twin-headed ogre screamed in pain from the lost head. It stomped its feet on the ground, and the ground shook, but Junhyuk just stared calmly at it.
The Spatial Slash was certainly superior. It covered a lot of space, and the opponent didn't have a chance to defend itself from the attack. He could kill the ogre that way.
Aside from the buff monsters, the twin-headed ogre was the highest-ranking monster in the forest.
Junhyuk watched as the ogre ran toward him. It had lost a head, but it was still fast. However, the ogre wasted time writhing in pain, so Junhyuk ran toward it and shouted, "Sarang!"
She fired an electric blast that paralyzed the ogre, and when he passed by the ogre, Junhyuk sliced one of its legs, leaving a trail of blood streaming from it.
He could feel the power of his Bloody Rune Sword and the fixed damage that couldn't be ignored. Still, the twin-headed ogre wasn't a pushover. It started moving again and swung its club. The wind pressure from the blow passed by Junhyuk's head, and he teleported.
Junhyuk was now standing behind the ogre, and he swung both of his swords. The damage skyrocketed, and the twin-headed ogre bled from its neck, but Junhyuk didn't behead it. There was a difference between his power and his regular attacks.
The ogre was swinging his fists at him when Sarang's lightning bolt hit it.
Zzap!
Was she lucky? The ogre froze, just for a moment, but Junhyuk was able to save his teleportation and cut the ogre's thigh instead, the same place he had cut before, leaving the bone exposed. Junhyuk retreated.
Boom!
The ogre's club slammed the place where Junhyuk had been standing, but he had already left. He knew how much stronger he was now. He would have a champion's physique the next time he came to the Dimensional Battlefield, but his sight had already improved.
"Is this a champion's sight?"
He understood why Adolphe was so dangerous. Adolphe had been a champion for a long time and had many items. He was stronger than Junhyuk, but the gap was smaller now.
"It will be better to get rid of him."
He didn't know how many times he needed to kill Adolphe, but they had already killed him twice.
Junhyuk watched the ogre going berserk. They were closer to each other, and Junhyuk moved his body. The ogre failed to hit him, and Junhyuk cut the same spot on the ogre's thigh. The ogre fell to its knees before him.
Junhyuk sliced through the ogre's eyes.
"Aaargh!"
He stood behind the ogre and said, "It's not easy to kill you with a regular attack."
He had had to attack three times in the same spot with his regular attack, and that only happened because he had acquired more powerful items.
The ogre was maddened, and Junhyuk swung his sword at it.
Slash!
His Spatial Slash beheaded the ogre again. It stayed there for a moment and then dropped to the ground. The ogre disappeared, leaving something in its place.
"What item is that?"
Junhyuk inspected it.
---
Twin-Headed Ogre's Umbilical Cord
The twin-headed ogre is stronger than an ordinary ogre. Its strength lies on its birth's umbilical cord. The cord is usually used as an ingredient that increases strength by five.
---
Junhyuk stowed the item away.
"We'll sell it later and split the sum."
"But you killed it alone."
"No, we worked together."
Junhyuk started running again. The minions had watched him kill the ogre and didn't make a sound. They were more scared of the monsters than of the heroes, and Junhyuk had killed one by himself, so they were terrified of him.
He took the minions to the valley, and there were already another hundred minions there.
Vera walked over and hugged him tightly.
"My Junhyuk has become a champion!"
He laughed.
"You taught me well."
"That's right, and you know it!"
Vera was laughing and punched his helmet. Meanwhile, Diane came over and slapped his butt.
SLAP!
He was wearing his armor, so could barely feel it, and it seemed that she was obsessed with his butt. Then, Diane wrapped her arms around his neck.
"What is this new power?"
Junhyuk smiled and lifted his sword.
"Step back for a moment."
Everyone was curious and stepped back, and Junhyuk looked into the valley and slashed the air. Far away, a crack appeared on a cliff. Everyone looked at the crack, and their eyes widened.
"What just happened?" Diane asked, and Halo answered her instead.
"Huh! Unbelievable! It travelled through space and cut it!"
Nudra was also astounded.
"As far as spatial range is concerned, is this the highest-ranking power so far?"
Everyone looked at Junhyuk, and Artlan summarized, "The force field is high ranking, the teleportation is high ranking and the Spatial Slash is high ranking. This is the first time someone has all high-ranking powers."
He had met many heroes, but Junhyuk stood out. Junhyuk smiled, and Artlan frowned.
"You've activated a new power, but that will put you in danger."
He understood what Artlan meant.
"They only have to kill you twice in this battlefield. Next time, you'll be a champion, so they will try to kill you before that happens."
Junhyuk nodded heavily. There were five heroes and one champion who wanted him dead. It wouldn't be easy to stay alive.
Artlan looked at the group.
"We can't use him as bait. He could get killed, so focus on defending him." Everyone agreed, and Artlan smiled coolly and said, "I intend to win. Let's go kill a dragon."
"OK."
Junhyuk realized that Artlan had thought about losing to keep him safe, and his chest was filled with warmth.
