Chapter 410: Struggle 1

Everyone grimaced. Looking at them, Junhyuk said, “Even if we manufacture Core Bombs as fast as possible, we’ll only have twenty in three days. And even if we start destroying tears after that, we won’t have enough time.”

He added, “We have to plan a route that deploys the bombs as quickly as possible. We’ll also need a jet to save as much time as possible.”

Steve nodded and said, “We’ll send you an SR-71. You’ll be able to save more time that way.”

It was the fastest plane in existence. At Mach 3.5, it would be of immense help.

Junhyuk nodded and said, “OK. We need to start with the monster areas closest to South Korea.”

Some delegates disagreed with that entirely. Tense, Steve asked, “Are you giving up on the US?”

Junhyuk shook his head.

“We have ten days. Once we destroy the first monster area, we can make more bombs with the core from that area. When that happens, we’ll send one to the US. But, we’ll destroy twenty areas on this side of the globe first.”

“You’ll need a route to do it in sequence, but even then, you won’t be able to destroy them all.”

Everyone grimaced, and Junhyuk continued, “We have to evacuate the populations closest to the borders.”

Evacuating people wouldn’t be easy. How many would they need to evacuate to begin with?

Junhyuk added, “I want to make sure of this, but the most important things is to come up with the best possible route and to prepare for that route.”

“We’ll support you with anything you need.”

“We have to decide on everything within the next couple of days. At that point, we’ll go over things in more detail.”

“Of course.”

Time was important. When the monitors turned off, Junhyuk got up and went to look for Elise. She had finished her preparations to go back to South Korea.

He walked up to her and said, “The Core Bomb is important, but it would be better to create artificial borders for the monster areas.”

She replied while checking the things he had given her, “We really need to go beyond our limitations. I only have these pieces of the tower.”

“Then, next time, I’ll bring you the whole thing. I’ll try to.”

Elise looked at the pieces and said, “I’m not that confident. It looks like there is magic weaved into it. I’ve just started learning about magic. I can’t do something like this.”

It would be extremely difficult.

Sighing, Junhyuk said, “It won’t be easy. First, concentrate on the Core Bombs. Work on the border when you have time.”

“Sure,” she said with a smile and put everything away in her Spatial Bag. “I’ll leave now. I’m going to be very busy.”

Junhyuk smiled bitterly.

“Right…” he said and took off his wristwatch, giving it to Elise. She should know what had happened inside the tear.

Elise took it from him and smiled again, saying, “Then, see you later.”

The rotor of a helicopter roared to life, and Junhyuk escorted her to the helipad. After that, he gathered the powered people outside. With the additional fifty novices, there were seventy-six novices, six experts—with the extra two—and two champions.

Junhyuk knew there were more champions around the world, and Guardians was tracking those two at that moment. Looking at the group, he said, “Ten days from now, all monster area borders will be gone.”

Everyone was stunned, but Junhyuk continued calmly, “Three days from now, we’ll start destroying tears with Core Bombs. However, we won’t be able to destroy all of them.”

Gazing over them, he added, “Eventually, we’ll have to destroy monster areas without borders.”

The teams would be mostly on standby until the borders disappeared. Once that happened, things wouldn’t be easy. They would have to risk their lives.

Looking at them, Junhyuk said, “The monster support team will also be there, but don’t expect things to be simple. We can’t give up.”

Without the borders, the monsters would flood out of the areas. To save people, those with powers would have to risk their lives. The group looked tense, but Junhyuk said confidently, “This is a massive danger to humanity, but we will overcome it.”

Everyone nodded, and he said, “Remember: This is classified.”

First, they had to choose the monster areas that they would attack. If people knew about that, they would naturally flee the areas that wouldn’t receive aid. However, there could also be riots and civil unrest.

Looking at the group, he said, “We won’t be moving together, so manuals will be passed out so that each team can train.”

Junhyuk was passing the training program on to Lucy. After that, he left. He went back to his room, and Jeffrey went to visit him soon after.

Junhyuk stared at Jeffrey, who had activated another power. It was a ensnare and pull power and it seemed high ranking. If enemies tried to run away, Jeffrey could pull them toward himself. On top of that, he could summon a Ghost White Tiger, which could kill a hero.

“What’s the matter?”

“What are the plans for the future?”

Junhyuk shrugged and replied, “It’s just what I told you. In ten days, the borders will be gone, and the monsters will come out.”

“What about the A-ranked monsters?”

After some thought, Junhyuk replied, “I’m not sure. It’s possible they’ll come out too.”

Jeffrey had a ensnare, and his Ghost White Tiger could fight, but Ling Ling couldn’t deal with an A-ranked monster by herself. She would die in the process.

Ling Ling would need support. However, there were all the other monsters besides the A-ranked. Without the borders, all champions, experts and novices would have to risk their lives.

Everyone would need to fight every monster, and Junhyuk knew that many would die. On top of that, many more people would activate new powers.

Junhyuk wanted put a stop to the managers’ plans. Three out of three million? He wouldn’t allow it. He would stop his enemies.

“We’ll make a line, and once things get dangerous, we’ll retreat behind that line.”

“What’s the range on this?” Jeffrey was holding the teleportation device. Did it have a range? If it didn’t, it would definitely help him attack the United States.

“I’m not sure. We need to run tests with it first.” Looking at Jeffrey, he added, “You take it to the US first. Call me when you get there. If the device works from there, we’ll be able to attack even more tears.”

“I’ll leave right away.”

There was a range to the device’s use when crossing through a dimensional tear, but if that limit didn’t exist when teleporting on Earth, then he would be able to travel like the the one infected who started all of this, from the US to South Korea.

If that turned out to be the case, other people would transport equipment, and Junhyuk would only have to teleport to the locations. At first, they would only be able to manufacture twenty Core Bombs. However, after the first batch, they could make two hundred more.

Jeffrey had already left, and Junhyuk leaned against his chair. Everyone was doing their utmost to destroy the monster areas, but management wasn’t resting either. Eltor had told him that deployment of monster waves would also speed up.

So far, Guardians had been able to thwart them without help. However, if the deployment of waves sped up, would Guardians still be able to manage?

Junhyuk shook his head and summoned the Blood Rune Sword. He had learned something important that day. His power was special, but he couldn’t attack the managers of the Dimensional Battlefield.

Without attacking Eltor, he wouldn’t have found out about that. Only a dimensional attack could hit the managers. In his case, a Dimensional Slash.

“Dimensions.”

When he learned the Spatial Collapse, Junhyuk felt something by watching the border of the dimensional tear: life and death. In order to activate a dimensional power, Junhyuk started to think about that moment.

The cores had that power. He could feel it. The next time he got a core for himself, he would need to learn more about it.

He had more work to do, but he was glad for it. The Dimensional Slash might only work against managers, but he still wanted to learn it. He wanted to control not only space, but dimensions as well.

Junhyuk couldn’t train as much as he wanted, but he had two free days, and he would work on the Dimensional Slash during that time. If he ended up learning it, he might even be able to learn how to teleport through dimensions.

Junhyuk closed his eyes and focused on the feeling of life and death the dimensional tear had brought him.
