Chapter 475: Dividends 2

Junhyuk took a bird’s eye view of the battlefield. Elise and Aditya were going straight for the buff island and were in the middle of preparing for battle. Sarang had been thorough in her explanation of the Champion’s battlefield, and because of that, the allies were moving without hesitation.

The problem was the orc. He had already died once and was now exiting the castle.

In that battlefield, Elise and Aditya were sharing the workload. All three enemies were waiting for them in the buff island.

Elise contacted their other ally and requested a favor. The orc took the left path and went to destroy the enemy watchtower.

Elise and Aditya engaged the three champions.

Aditya doubled as a tank, and Elise stayed behind him, giving him supporting fire. Elise’s attack was superior to that of any of her enemies.

She didn’t really have a damaging power, but she could summon Zaira. The gynoid’s use was restricted in the Dimensional Battlefield, but she could still help Elise a lot.

Ganesha was only available on Earth. Ganesha also needed more weapons, but the gynoid could certainly be upgraded.

Junhyuk stopped thinking about Ganesha for now, but during that time, Elise and Aditya killed the three enemy champions.

The strength of the allies was superior. After that round, more people would bet on Elise, and the returns would diminish. But for that round, Junhyuk would win a lot of gold.

Elise’s victory would bring him more gold than the drops from the heroes who had crossed over to his dimension.

Elise completed the quest and gained the buff. There really was nobody who could stand up to her in that battlefield. Aditya drew the enemies’ attention, and the rest of the allies did their part.

While Aditya was tanking, the enemies tried casting spells at him. They had really nice powers, but their powers didn’t work against the allies. The issue for them was Elise’s items.

The flow of the battle went easily in favor of the allies. They were buffed, so they pushed through their enemies and headed off to Bebe. After that, they went straight for the enemy castle.

Elise didn’t let Junhyuk’s expectations down. However, he didn’t know what items she had purchased as she used no new items when she came out of the store.

Elise’s team pushed through the enemy team, and the castle was destroyed. Junhyuk smiled with satisfaction at the result. Just like he had expected, it was an easy victory.

The odds would be much lower next time. Once the victors had been decided, Junhyuk turned to Ariel and asked, “How much did I win?”

[The odds were six to one, so you won 2,707,500G.]

Junhyuk was stunned. That was enough money to make him stronger. Now, he was worried about whether he should get a new set item or a new sword.

His damage was fairly high by that point, and the Blood Rune Sword was still effective, but compared to a legendary sword, the Blood Rune Sword lacked in buffs and skills.

He didn’t know if he would be facing more heroes in the future. It was possible that if more heroes crossed over to his dimension, he would need Dentra’s Magic Sword to deal with them.

He got paid, but at that moment, he couldn’t buy anything.

Junhyuk turned to Ariel and said, “Send me back now.”

[Then, I’ll see you next time.]

He felt he had returned to Earth, and after arriving, he heard a loud cheer.

“Holy cow! Big sis Elise is the best!”

Junhyuk could see Sarang cheering as she hugged Elise happily. Elise patted Sarang’s back lightly.

Both spectators and participants returned at the same time. Elise was already awake, and she turned to him, looked him in the eyes and smiled.

“My items are superior.”

She was telling the truth. Her victory had been decisive.

“What did you get?” Junhyuk asked, curious about what she had purchased.

Elise shrugged and answered, “A few things to help me with magitek. They are irrelevant items to the battlefield, but they’ll help me make bigger and better items.”

Junhyuk nodded. He didn’t understand anything about magitek, so he didn’t ask any more questions.

Elise adjusted herself and said, “OK. I’m returning to the lab.”

“Aren’t you going to rest?”

“I don’t have time for that.”

Junhyuk knew how hard Elise was working. She had rested at Jeju Island, but aside from that time, she hadn’t really stopped.

Looking at her, he asked, “Do you need anything?”

She was doing her part to protect the Earth, so he wanted to help her out.

“I like to drink. We should drink together.”

He gave her a bitter smiled and shook his head, saying, “Do your work. Tell me if you need anything.”

“Thanks.”

She waved at them and left. Junhyuk turned to Sarang then and asked, “How much did you win?”

“If I tell you, you’ll die of shock.” Sarang smiled and added, “I told you, I went all in.”

Junhyuk had already heard that, but how much gold had Sarang bet? She had to have had a lot of gold, but she had visited Bebe in the previous battle, so she had probably spent a lot of it too.

“I’m wondering if I should get legendary items.”

Junhyuk patted her shoulder and said, “You should. You could use some of them. Legendary items are useful for both defense and offense.”

“And they also have other skills.”

“Sure.”

Set items increased in effectiveness and got stronger the more items of the set a hero possessed. They made heroes much stronger.

A single set wasn’t extremely expensive, and Sarang could get more items to raise her strength. Depending on the set’s boosts, she could become much more powerful. A set was a good choice for her.

“You might be able to find legendary items that boost lightning attacks.”

Legendary items were the superior choice over set items, but they were much more expensive. Nevertheless, she could consider getting items specific to her powers.

Sarang nodded at that and said, “That’s smart. I might be able to get a full set if it’s cheap enough.”

“How much gold do you have?”

“It’s a secret.” Then, Sarang muttered, “I’m going to learn more spells,” and left the room smiling.

Junhyuk laughed at her. She had learned a lot from the heroes who had attacked their dimension.

She had found her spells to be inferior to her enemy’s, and her enemy had been able to push her around because of that.

She had mostly relied on her powers rather than her spells. Now, she was doing her best to learn more about magic.

Junhyuk got up and shook his head.

“I should work harder as well.”

Before getting a new item, Junhyuk had to be ready. He had only been able to stop the heroes who attacked his dimension because of Aksha’s Longsword. He had to train harder.

“I’ll go see Jeffrey first.”

Jeffrey could be summoned that day. He was a hero now, and it would be his first battle as one. He had to be anxious, so Junhyuk wanted to give him some advice.

Junhyuk went over to the training facility and found Jeffrey there. Instead of giving him advice, he watched as Jeffrey worked on his scythe. He was serious as he worked on counters and the basics. Jeffrey seemed focused, and Junhyuk didn’t want to disturb him.

He shrugged and left for his own training facility to work on his swordsmanship.

—

While training, he lost track of time. He was deep into Aksha’s swordsmanship, without sleeping or eating, when he felt someone approach him.

Jeffrey was smiling awkwardly, so Junhyuk asked, “What brings you here?”

Jeffrey had his scythe rested on his shoulder as he collapsed on the ground and started complaining, “I just got back from the battlefield!”

Junhyuk lowered his sword and walked over to Jeffrey. He looked Jeffrey over from head to toe and asked, “Results?”

“We won, but I died three times.”

“Did you drop anything expensive?”

Jeffrey shook his head and said, “No. I got lucky and didn’t drop any of the items you gave me. However, I still lost three other items.”

“Did you pick any up?”

Jeffrey smiled and replied, “Six!”

“Whoa!”

Jeffrey had done well. His powers were nice, and they had awarded him many items, which meant that Jeffrey had contributed to the victory.

“What about your allies?”

“Two are useful, but the other two are bringing us down.”

“What about you?”

“I was useful.”

Junhyuk changed the subject and asked, “Did you see Bebe?”

Jeffrey got up suddenly then and said, “What is interesting is that I can boost the scythe with dark energy on Earth, but I can’t use the two at the same time in the Dimensional Battlefield!”

“Did you buy anything?”

“Yes, and I can learn the spells right away, but to use them, I need to test them out in actual combat.”

“Yeah?”

Junhyuk had been mesmerized by Aksha’s swordsmanship, but he still needed practice. Now, Jeffrey wanted to spar with him.

Sarang was a hero, but she was a mage. In that instance, Jeffrey was different.

He raised his sword and said, “I won’t go easy on you.”

“I won’t either.”

The dark energy within Jeffrey’s body enveloped the scythe, and Junhyuk prepared a mana blade.

“Let’s rumble!”
