Beijing monster area.

Junhyuk had been worried about the B-ranked minotaurs, but that ended up being unnecessary. Ling Ling, now a champion, could deal with a minotaur by herself, and from that, Junhyuk realized that she had gotten at least one piece of new equipment.

If for some reason Ling Ling got overwhelmed and the others were endangered, there was always Jeffrey, who could deal with a few minotaurs at once if they were bunched together. Junhyuk didn’t have to worry.

Lucy commanded the novice attack team, and even they were able to deal with minotaurs without the experts’ help. The experts’ team had measured the minotaur’s rush distance, and they could bring minotaurs down before they rushed.

The results of their training were satisfactory, and once they got back to the hotel, Junhyuk wanted to rest, but he held a meeting with Lucy and Ling Ling before that.

Looking at them both, he said, “Through today’s light, simple training, we were able to figure out the monsters’ strength. According to satellite information, there are thirty-five B-ranked monsters in the area and approximately five hundred C-ranked.”

The experts’ team and the novice attack team couldn’t deal with that great of a number.

Pointing to a map, he continued, “Today, we went in this direction and killed all the B-ranked monsters in the path. In two days, we’ll advance from here.”

Junhyuk meant to advance from the opposite side and direction they had taken that day. Through their training, they met and killed B-ranked monsters, and by taking the path on the opposite side, they would encounter at least seven B-ranked monsters. However, with Junhyuk with them, they wouldn’t need to worry about the monsters.

Junhyuk turned to Ling Ling and said, “We’ll contact the Chinese army just before carrying out our plan. They’ll lure the monsters here.”

He trusted the experts’ team and the novice attack team, but he didn’t want to work them too hard. That day, he didn’t disturb the A-ranked dragon to prevent being swarmed by other monsters, which would’ve ruined his plans.

Junhyuk would have more work, but he had no other choice.

“Tomorrow, we’ll ask the army to do some work for us while we rest.”

He sent them away and returned to his room. There, he lay on his bed. Destroying dimensional tears meant risking his life, but it was something he had to do.

“I must continue the work.”

That was only possible because he had a champion with him now. However, the destruction of the tear itself couldn’t be carried out by that champion. It wouldn’t happen unless he had a team of champions.

“If I had a hero with me, I would speed things up.”

Heroes could be trusted, and although even weak heroes could be killed by monsters within the tears, Junhyuk could always join them to help.

He shook his head and entered the training facility. There, he pulled out the core of the previous tear. Although he didn’t know how strong it was or what it would do, inside the facility, the mana around him began to resonate with it.

Perhaps, something related to mana made the core function. He focused intently on the broken core.

After resting for a day, they were very enthusiastic. They all knew they would have a big day ahead.

That day would be the second time they would try to destroy a dimensional tear. The first tear destruction had been accidental, but this time, they were well prepared.

It had only been for a short while, but they were being treated as heroes that would save the Earth. Junhyuk had prohibited outings for the novices and experts, but they could still use the internet, so they all knew how important they were, at least honorwise.

Junhyuk got in a vehicle with them and headed toward the monster area, heading to the opposite side from where they had entered the monster area the previous time. Once they all got out of their vehicles, Junhyuk saw their faces tense up.

The number of monsters by the border was larger than they had expected. There were ten B-ranked monster and around a hundred C-ranked monsters crowding the border. It was the result of the Chinese army luring them there.

Seeing the monsters bunched up, Junhyuk took the lead.

“Today is the day we destroy the second dimensional tear thrown at humanity.”

Everyone looked nervous.

“We’ll kill that bunch first and then advance into the Forbidden City. Don’t lag behind and follow your team leader’s orders. We’ll succeed.”

Looking at the group one last time, Junhyuk said, “Don’t die.”

Junhyuk turned and walked alone toward the monster area. The teams followed him, but he stopped and raised his hand. The teams also stopped.

He left them behind and went inside, attacking the monsters as he did. He easily massacred the C-ranked monsters. As he displayed his superior strength, a minotaur rushed at him. Junhyuk ran to meet it. The minotaur’s rush wasn’t considered a power, so Junhyuk didn’t hesitate.

Before the horn could pierce him, Junhyuk swung his sword and sliced the minotaur. Then, he front kicked another that was rushing toward him and continued forward. He went berserk, not even using his powers, and it took him only three minutes to kill all the minotaurs.

If the monsters hadn’t tried to run away, he would’ve taken even less time.

Junhyuk made a signal with his hand, and the experts, the novices and the Chinese army cheered aloud. Junhyuk seemed invisible, and he walked further in while still hearing their cheers. The expert’s team and the novice attack team followed closely behind him.

With the teams, Junhyuk killed more monsters as they moved further in.

When he reached the Forbidden City, he turned to his allies. They were all quiet, and as he looked at them, he said, “Wait here. I’ll take care of the A-ranked monster and advance into the tear. Once I do, close in and hold that position.”

He did not know the dragon’s powers, so he had no other choice. The others nodded, and he walked into the Forbidden City. The dragon was sitting atop the palace, and it saw Junhyuk walking toward it.

When it did, clouds started gathering above the dragon, and Junhyuk scowled.

“You can summon clouds?”

Monsters weren’t able to pull that off, but the dragon had easily summoned the clouds, so it had to have an electric attribute.

Junhyuk ran toward it, but when the dragon opened its mouth, lightning came out of it.

Craaaaack, boom!

Junhyuk had been expecting something to happen, so when he saw the dragon’s lightning, he teleported to appear above the dragon, stabbing at its neck.

Clang!

The sword bounced off. The dragon swung its huge, snake-like body and pounded against Junhyuk. He got launched off, but took another stance.

The dragon had blocked his attack.

“This doesn’t make sense.”

Junhyuk’s attack stat was outstanding. He could even slice through the Black Turtle’s shell. However, his attack had not worked. He had simply scratch the dragon. So, he gathered mana on his blade and ran toward the dragon again.

The dragon slithered up.

Craaack!

The roof of the palace was destroyed, and the dragon appeared floating in the air. As he ran toward it, clouds covered the sky, and thunderbolts crashed down.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunderbolts fell like rain, and Junhyuk couldn’t dodge them all. However, now that he had magic resistance equipment, he could endure the dragon’s attacks.

He kept running forward, and the dragon started floating up slowly, which meant he only had one chance.

Junhyuk accelerated and stepped on the destroyed rooftop, jumping. He closed in quickly, and the dragon twisted its entire body, slashing at him with his short, front claws.

Clang!

The mana blade got stuck on the dragon’s claw, and as Junhyuk fell, he scowled.

The dragon’s body was stronger than he had expected. It watched as Junhyuk fell to the ground, flying even higher up.

The dragon was fifty meters up in the air now, trying to hide among the clouds.

“You can’t hide!”

He stomped the ground and jumped again. The dragon sent lightning down at him, but Junhyuk had used his jump ability. He grabbed a spike-like scale on the dragon’s back and attacked the dragon’s body with his mana blade.

CLANG!

The dragon’s scales were very strong, but Junhyuk couldn’t understand why he had only scratched the dragon.

Frowning, he muttered, “Is this a power?”

Just like his own force field, the dragon’s scales protected it from everything. Seeing that, Junhyuk made a wish. If that wasn’t a power, it was amazing. He would be able to use the scales to make equipment. If Bebe didn’t buy it, he would use it in the fight against the dimensional tears.

He mumbled that he would earn more money while still holding on to the dragon. Then, he got up. People watching the scene might say that he was riding the dragon, but he wasn’t. The dragon might have a perfect defense, which would give it a monster skill of the highest quality. He had to find a weak spot.

Junhyuk quickly looked through the dragon, but he couldn’t find anything. Then, thunderbolts crashed on him. Junhyuk could withstand the shock, but he was stunned and fell from the sky.

However, when the dragon tried to bite him, he found what he had been looking for.

The dragon had many scales covering it, but one of the scales was stuck backward. When Junhyuk regained his ability to move, he used his Spatial Slash. The dragon had its mouth open, trying to bite him, and the Spatial Slash entered it.

“Rooooarrr!”

As the dragon roared, Junhyuk entered its mouth. The dragon landed once again on the palace.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The palace was destroyed, and a cloud of dust went everywhere. The dragon had fallen, and Junhyuk showed up afterward. The dragon had died while vomiting blood, and Junhyuk was covered in it.

Looking at the fallen dragon, Junhyuk murmured, “It did have perfect defense, but one of its scales was extremely weak.”

Junhyuk had slashed the scale, and once the dragon was no longer protected, he slashed through its hide, laughing aloud as he did.

Junhyuk had his Spatial Slash, and because of it, he could attack from anywhere. If that hadn’t been the case, he would’ve been killed.

He stood on the dragon’s head and shouted, “Ling Ling! Lucy! Come here!”

Ling Ling and Lucy brought the teams with them, forming a barrier around the area, and Junhyuk entered the dimensional tear.

As he walked along the path, Junhyuk saw many monsters heading for him and smacked his lips.

“Waiting for me?”
