Chapter 390: Breakthrough Point 2

B-ranked minotaurs were rushing down the path, and Junhyuk broke through by himself. The tunnel was narrow, so as the monsters rushed forth, they were easily handled by Junhyuk.

After that, he kept going. He was about to come up against four A-ranked monsters.

“It’ll be great if one is a Doppelganger King!”

Doppelganger Kings were hard to come by. He had only come across one in the Swamp of Despair as part of a quest, and another in a dimensional tear tunnel. He had not seen another one since.

Doppelganger Kings carried dimensional error energy and were extremely important for his research. When Junhyuk saw the monsters, however, he frowned. There were two A-ranked monsters, and he had fought against them many times: a Wolf Warlord and a Black Turtle.

The Wolf Warlord had incredibly fast attacks, while the Black Turtle had a strong defense, but Junhyuk was not worried about them.

“I’ll finish as quickly as possible.”

Junhyuk accelerated as much as he could. Even though he didn’t think about it when he went to the Dimensional Battlefield, every time he did, he gathered mana. The living spirit belonged to him now, so it would gather mana for him even without him asking.

Junhyuk could also always gather mana from the training facility, so the amount he could hold was much greater than ever before. As a result, the acceleration hadn’t become faster, but it lasted longer.

As he ran forward, the Wolf Warlord transformed. The Wolf Warlord felt a level higher now, and it moved as fast as Junhyuk’s speed.

The Black Turtle spewed poison, and Junhyuk teleported. He appeared on top of the Black Turtle’s shell and used his Spatial Slash.

While the Wolf Warlord was searching for him after he disappeared, red shockwaves expanded from the Wolf Warlord’s neck, and its head fell to the ground. Then, Junhyuk slashed at the Black Turtle’s neck. However, the turtle head quickly withdrew into the shell, and the snake head slithered toward him.

Turning around quickly, Junhyuk swung his sword.

Clang!

Junhyuk had hit the snake’s jaw, parrying it up, and stabbed the snake’s neck. He lopped the snake’s head off and ran across the shell.

The turtle head came out again and spewed more poison at him, and Junhyuk teleported to the turtle head again, slashing down at its neck. The head didn’t have enough time to withdraw, and now, the turtle was beheaded.

After he had killed the two A-ranked monsters, he started moving again. Junhyuk was able to deal with A-ranked monsters faster than ever before. When Sarang was with him, they would go up against three A-ranked monsters, so he was accustomed to fighting many at the same time.

Junhyuk had learned how monsters fought, so now, he could easily find their weak spots and openings.

He had to be grateful to Agenchra. Without the experience he had acquired by fighting A-ranked monsters, he would have hesitated in destroying the tears.

Junhyuk ran quickly down the path. He could take as much time as he wanted since he had the teleportation device given to him by Vera. Junhyuk didn’t have to worry about what was left in his wake.

Then, he encountered another group of B-ranked monsters. After killing them all, he kept going. The important thing was to finish as quickly as possible.

After that, he met three A-ranked monsters: a Giant Gorilla, a Minotaur, and a Black Bear. They were all huge, so the path looked very cramped.

As he looked at them, he said, “Some turn into heroes and some turn into A-ranked monsters?!”

Junhyuk had already met a minotaur hero. When he met the B-ranked minotaurs, he hadn’t paid too much attention to them, but the A-ranked Minotaur looked very dangerous.

The Giant Gorilla was ten meters tall, and Junhyuk felt like he was looking at King Kong when he looked at it. The Black Bear was behind the gorilla, but it was as big as the gorilla.

Junhyuk thought things were better that way.

“I’ll have the advantage this way.”

The Minotaur came at him swinging a halberd. It was also ten meters tall, but the halberd was twenty meters long.

Laughing at the weapon, Junhyuk accelerated and passed the Minotaur by. He had thought he had passed the halberd when he saw the gorilla’s fist coming toward him. The gorilla’s fist moved incredibly fast, and he felt the air pressure before the fist had even reached him.

Junhyuk teleported, reappearing behind the gorilla and stabbing it. However, his sword got stuck on the gorilla’s neck.

Junhyuk had a greater piercing stat now, so he could easily sink his sword into an A-ranked monster’s hide. The red shockwave expanded from the point of impact, but the gorilla retained its head.

Junhyuk frowned a little. The shockwave dealt an additional 60 percent of damage of the original attack, but even it hadn’t killed the Giant Gorilla.

The gorilla’s muscles tensed around the sword, and Junhyuk couldn’t remove it from the gorilla’s neck. Meanwhile, the gorilla was about to swat him with his palm. It looked a lot like the gorilla had been bitten by a mosquito and was trying to get rid of it.

Junhyuk smiled coldly and asked, “You think I’m funny?”

He sunk the stuck sword deeper into the gorilla and raised his left arm.

Boom!

Blocking the gorilla’s attack with his left hand, Junhyuk stabbed even deeper into the gorilla’s neck.

“RRRaaaah!” the Giant Gorilla screamed loudly, and Junhyuk saw the Black Bear open its mouth.

“Rooooarrr!”

THe Black Bear’s roar rang through the tunnel, and Junhyuk felt himself stunned. His hairs stood on end after hearing that destructive sound.

Slash! Boom!

He was able to slice the gorilla’s head off before he was stunned, but the Minotaur’s halberd slammed against him soon after.

Because he was stunned, he wasn’t able to dodge, so he was launched off and hit a wall. He was still unable to move when the Black Bear raised its front paws and stomped on him.

Boom!

The tunnel’s floor cracked with the impact, and Junhyuk felt his intestines shatter. He didn’t have experience with those types of monsters, and because the two of them were attacking him at the same time, he raised his force field.

Boom!

The force field got stuck in the ground, but Junhyuk was able to get up. Then, the Minotaur swung its halberd at him, and Junhyuk quickly used his Spatial Slash on the Minotaur’s neck. A red shockwave expanded from the point of impact.

The Minotaur was beheaded, which meant that the Giant Gorilla had had stronger muscles than it.

When Junhyuk turned to looked at the Black Bear, it rushed at him.

Boom!

Junhyuk was pushed back, but he didn’t care. He accelerated and moved toward the Black Bear, who swung its front paws at him.

Junhyuk shrunk the size of the force field so that it would only cover him and aimed his sword at the Black Bear’s paws. His sword pierced one of the paws, and when the bear screamed loudly, Junhyuk teleported.

His sword was pointing at the middle of the Black Bear’s forehead, and it pierced the monster’s head.

“Roooooaaa—”

With a loud roar, the Black Bear fell. Junhyuk gathered his breath. He had lost a lot of health. He could easily kill A-ranked monsters now, but they were still dangerous beings.

His defense was great, but he still got very hurt. Ordinary heroes would have died in his place. Shaking his head, he started running again. On the way, he realized he wouldn’t meet any other monsters until he appeared in front of the core.

Usually, Eltor would have appeared by now, but the manager had not shown up this time. Without hesitation, Junhyuk attacked the tower. He meant to bring it down without damaging the core.

He pounded against it without rest, and the tower fell. This time, he got an undamaged core from it. He grabbed it with his hands and smiled.

“OK. I’ll give Sarang the damaged core, and she’ll be able to ask Vera about it.”

Vera had to know something about it. Once Junhyuk realized that Eltor wouldn’t show up, he pulled out the teleportation device and turned it on. Suddenly, his surroundings changed.

He was now on top of the dragon’s head, standing next to Jeffrey. Junhyuk dove forward. Many monsters were heading his way. Peyton had raised walls to delay the monsters, and Ling Ling was dealing with a side on her own. The rest of the experts’ team was taking another side, and the last side was being covered by the novice attack team.

Junhyuk headed toward the monsters on their way to the novice team and killed many at once. Before he had killed all of them, however, the tear disappeared. After that, he killed the rest of the monsters all around them. The others were exhausted, and they collapsed as soon as they could.

Junhyuk walked toward them, and Lucy got up and said, “Last time, there was a hole in the monster area border, so all the monsters came from one direction. But this time, they all came this way and from all around.

Junhyuk looked at Jeffrey, and Jeffrey shook his head.

“I summoned the Ghost White Tiger Twice.”

“Without Jeffrey, none of us would have survived.” Junhyuk turned to Ling Ling, and Lucy smiled and added, “Ling Ling’s new power is enormous. She can cover an entire side with it. She must have killed at least a hundred monsters.”

Junhyuk looked at the group. They had barely survived. He had gone inside the tear and vomited blood in his fight, but on the outside, they had also had a hard time.

They had destroyed the dimensional tear, so while they were tired, they were also very proud. After getting the news that the dimensional tear had been destroyed, a news crew and the Chinese army rushed toward them. Junhyuk waited for them, and once Johnson got to him, he pointed at the dragon and said, “Send it to the lab at Guardians. They’ll come up with a way to use the scales that’ll change our future strategies.”

“Yes, sir!”

Junhyuk saw the others heading his way. Geumdo Oh walked toward him, and there was someone else he hadn’t seen before next to him. It was the President of China, Woonpyung Jo. That’s when he realized how serious the Chinese had been about the operation.

President Jo extended his hand toward him, and Junhyuk shook it.

“Thank you.”

“I only did my duty.”

Shaking his head, President Jo said, “I’ll repay you for this.”

At those words, Junhyuk smiled and said, “That’ll increase the morale of those who risked their lives here today.”

President Jo also smiled.

“I want to invite you to a banquet. Is that OK?”

“We’ll rest today, but if you send an invitation for another day, I’ll be there.”

“Then, I’ll get things ready.”

The cameras flashed nonstop, also filming them shaking hands. The whole destruction had been filmed and was broadcast all over the world. That would become a frequent event as they destroyed dimensional tears.

Then, President Jo whispered in his ear, “It would be nice if I could see your face during the banquet. Earth is ready for its hero to reveal himself.”
