He landed on the ground below and broke through the blockade without care, dashing forward. As he ran, he felt something had changed. He hadn't noticed it before because he had been training at home, but his run was different. The wind felt different against his body because his speed had increase even further.

He ran to where the people were standing. Many of them had crossed the sealed area to look at what was happening. They watched the SWAT member get bitten by the aglanta and they screamed and ran away.

Junhyuk had an easier time running when the people made way. They noticed him running, but they were busy running away, swept by fear. Junhyuk was wearing the Dark Night Cloak and scoping out the area ahead.

The aglanta was about two hundred meters from the shore, and Junhyuk thought he would have to swim and became seriously worried. Junhyuk's Spatial Slash covered fifty meters, so he was about two hundred meters short.

He wanted to get as close as possible and shorten the distance, so he crossed the sealed area. Then, he ran as fast as he could and pushed off with both legs, jumping a distance of thirty meters. It was beyond the human limit, but he was still shy of covering entire distance. While in the air, he started wondering if it was possible to use his jump skill mid-jump and decided to check.

He activated the skill and stepped on empty air and jumped again, learning something knew about his skill in the process.

He could jump at least thirty meters without his skill and he had used his skill to jump another one hundred meters at a thirty-degree angle. Seventy meters remained between him and the aglanta, and he still had to cover twenty meters of that, so he teleported. He tried to shoot for the maximum teleportation distance and was extremely surprised by the outcome.

Junhyuk had teleported over fifty meters. Previously, he could only teleport about thirteen meters, but now it was over three times that. The aglanta was still far away, so he couldn't strike it normally, but Junhyuk didn't hesitate and used his Spatial Slash.

Two aglantas had surfaced, aiming for the SWAT members, and Junhyuk's Spatial Slash sliced through one of their necks, and the blood-colored shockwave generate from its body impacted the other aglanta.

They were shredded to pieces, and the SWAT members instinctively looked at Junhyuk, shocked.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

All of the bullets bounced off his armor, and he dove into the water.

Splash!

He dove even deeper under the surface. Below the water, he looked around and frowned.

"This is right."

There were over ten aglantas swimming underwater. He didn't know where they'd come from, but there were many, and he couldn't fight underwater. He landed at the bottom of the river and pushed off to surface again, making a splash. He spun around in the air and landed on a police boat.

Thunk!

The boat shook, and the SWAT members aimed at him.

"There are more than ten monsters in the water! Pull yourselves together!" Junhyuk shouted.

After he spoke, the SWAT members looked at each other. Their commander stepped forward and said, "Secure the area!"

They were all still aiming at Junhyuk. They didn't know where he had come from, but he had killed the monsters, something that they couldn't do with their rifles.

Junhyuk lowered his swords and looked around. Soon, the aglantas surfaced with their long horns. They formed groups and headed toward the boat Junhyuk was on. There were exactly twelve of them, and the SWAT team didn't know what to do. They had only prepared for three, and now, there were twelve. They panicked.

The commander started quickly calling out orders.

"Send more teams! Call the army! We can't handle them!" he shouted loudly.

Junhyuk looked at the aglantas. They weren't going to wait for the SWAT team and jumped on the boat. The SWAT officers shot at them, but they failed to inflict any damage at all. Junhyuk dashed toward an aglanta that had its mouth open and swung the Frozen Rune Sword.

The aglanta's head split in two, and a freezing shockwave swept through the aglantas. Three of them died, all white and frozen and dropping to the bottom of the river. Junhyuk realized that his weapons' effectiveness had also changed.

His weapons somehow knew that the SWAT members weren't the enemy, so they weren't hurt at all, but everything around them was swept clean. The police boat was frozen, and the water around the boat was as well.

"What just happened?"

The SWAT officers stared at their rifles, speechless. They were having difficulty breathing from the cold around them, and Junhyuk realized that if he continued swinging the Frozen Rune Sword, they would freeze to death.

He stepped out of the boat and onto the frozen river. Seven more aglantas rushed at him, and Junhyuk swung the Blood Rune Sword again because now he was aware of the effect the Frozen Rune Sword had on the environment.

The aglantas came at him ferociously, and that made them easier to kill. They were grouped up, and he could kill many at time. The last two surviving aglantas dove deep into the water after the exchange, trying to hide.

"Running away?"

The nets couldn't stop the aglantas, so Junhyuk dove after them. The two were fleeing from him, and he laughed at the scene. Unlike before, they couldn't get away now. Junhyuk used the Spatial Slash, killing one, and teleported. Because he could cover fifty meters, he appeared on top of the other aglanta's back.

The aglanta flapped its wings and surfaced, and Junhyuk unceremoniously stabbed it on the head. It died, and a blood-colored shockwave extended out of it.

The aglanta's body dropped on the water, and Junhyuk stepped on it and used his jumping skill. All of the aglantas were dead, and he had to get out of there. Junhyuk jumped toward the border of the sealed area. He dove in the water, landed at the bottom of the river and started swinging his sword.

He was underwater, but it didn't restrain his movements, and he moved forward swinging his sword.

They had sealed the area with nets, and Junhyuk sliced through them with the flow of the water. He was wearing armor, but current was strong, and he would soon be far from there.

Junhyuk also ran at the bottom of the river, passing underneath two bridges and walking ashore later. He didn't want to attract any attention while getting out of the river, so he checked that there was nobody around, hid his items and teleported.

He cleaned himself and looked around. The current of the water was faster than the officers running, so nobody had been able to follow him. Still, he didn't leave any traces.

On his way back, he kept an eye out for CCTV cameras, avoiding them all, and complained. He shouldn't have dived in and should've just moved toward the shore instead. Now, he was downtown. He teleported once, covering fifty meters, and people disappeared from sight. Then, he did it again for a total of a hundred meters. He had also taken off his armor so people wouldn't recognize him.

Once he got back to his car, Junhyuk took off his shirt and squeezed it before getting in. He had parked very far away from the area. People had stopped looking for him, and he teleported to the driver's seat, leaned back and laughed hysterically.

The SWAT team had fired at him, but he had learned something new: he hadn't actually been powerful when he was an expert.

Junhyuk took the road away from area. He drove off, and his burner phone rang. He answered it.

"Big brother! Are you crazy?"

"You saw it too?"

"Of course! It's all over the TV! The internet is filled with it! Why did you do it?"

Junhyuk parked the car and said, "The Dimensional Battlefield monsters are here because management wants to produce more champions."

"It's because of you?!"

"Don't talk like that. I activated my powers to survive."

"I'm sorry."

"No, you don't have to be sorry. I knew why the monsters were there, so I couldn't stay home," Junhyuk said and leaned back on his seat and stared into the sky through the car's sunroof. "I couldn't watch people die, so I stepped in."

"I understand." Sarang was silent for a moment and continued, "Is South Korea the only one to have aglantas?"

"I'm not sure yet."

"I could run across them. What should I do?"

Junhyuk knew the answer to that and told her, "Kill them."

"Is that OK?"

"Sure. Your own life is your priority. Don't die so easily."

"He-he. I won't die easily."

"And keep your real identity hidden."

"Sure. If not, my life would change completely."

Junhyuk wanted to say that the world had changed completely.

"Let's be cautious."

"Sure. You take care."

He hung up and pulled out his communications crystal, thinking of Artlan.

"Why did you call me again?"

Artlan sounded frustrated, and Junhyuk explained everything.

"My powers seem enhanced here in South Korea."

"Of course! Being a Champion isn't just about activating powers. It also means your soul has grown, and your abilities will also increase. The growth of your soul affects your powers."

"Then, my powers are strengthened forever?"

"No. That's only over there. At the Dimensional Battlefield, you will have similar or only slightly better powers."

"That's too bad."

He could do wonders with his new powers at the Dimensional Battlefield, but Artlan told him it was impossible.

"My weapons are enhanced as well. The Frozen Rune Sword froze everything around me."

Artlan remained silent for a minute and said, "It follows its owner's growth."

"If I grow stronger, my weapons will grow with me?"

"Yeah."

Junhyuk summoned the Frozen Rune Sword and inspected it. It would grow with him.

"Don't think about power," Artlan said.

Junhyuk pulled himself together. Artlan had already told him sudden power would turn people into demons.

"Don't make me kill you," Artlan continued.

Artlan was worried about Junhyuk, and he knew it too.

"That won't happen."
