Chapter 503: Invitation 1

After preparing gifts for everyone, Junhyuk contacted Artlan. As always, Artlan’s projection appeared drinking. The hero set his bottle of liquor down and asked, “What’s up?”

“I’m ready to invite you over.”

“An invitation? Do you have enough alcohol for me?”

“I have many different kinds of alcohol prepared.”

Junhyuk had bought the drinks with Elise, including a bottle that had cost him over $1 million. He also bought a whiskey that cost roughly $10 thousand per shot. Junhyuk had spent over $10 million in alcohol.

For Junhyuk and Elise, money wasn’t an issue, so they did their best to throw the best possible party.

Junhyuk called Artlan first to get a better idea of how the invitation process worked.

“Then, you are invited.”

Junhyuk was about to enter his new facility when he said those words. After that, he heard a soft voice ask, [Artlan is from another dimension. Do you want to invite him?]

“I do.”

Artlan seemed to have heard something on his side and nodded. After that, they disconnected, and Junhyuk entered his new facility.

It had been a long time since they had seen each other, but Artlan was standing there now. Junhyuk smirked and walked toward him.

Artlan gave him a tight hug. Junhyuk started to perspire. Artlan was over two meters tall and had muscles like a jaguar. Artlan’s presence was overbearing. Junhyuk was having difficulty breathing just from having the hero next to him.

After gulping, Junhyuk said, “Eat and drink. I’ll invite the others.”

“Sure. I’m curious about the drinks in your dimension.”

Artlan picked up a bottle and laughed. “What are all these gems in it?” he asked. He emptied the bottle in mere moments, and Junhyuk started sweating cold. Artlan had just downed a $3 million bottle.

Junhyuk quickly invited the others. He had to do it before Artlan drank all the alcohol.

He contacted everyone at once and spoke fast, “You are all invited!”

Vera’s, Diane’s, Nudra’s, Halo’s, Gongon’s and Layla’s projections disappeared, and Junhyuk saw them appear right in front of him.

Back when Junhyuk was still starting, Halo had remained silent for his training. The hero was 190 centimeters tall and had long arms. Just looking at Halo’s eyes made Junhyuk have difficulty breathing.

Nudra was standing with his hands behind his back, and his presence was extremely oppressive.

Vera was looking around. Mana was flowing into her constantly. She could absorb mana faster than anyone he had seen before.

While Junhyuk was looking at the others, someone walked over and caressed his butt. He had kept his spatial sense up to prevent surprises, but the person had made it to his butt without him noticing.

He sighed and looked back. Diane was grinning while standing there. He knew the elf was beautiful, but Diane looked alive now. She was mesmerizing, and there were probably many men willing to have their butts grabbed by her.

Junhyuk saw Gongon and was impressed by the hatchling’s strong presence. Despite being a hatchling, Gongon was still a dragon. However, Vera was still absorbing mana faster than him.

Vera looked at Gongon, who was the same size on Earth as in the Dimensional Battlefield. He was very small by comparison to everyone, so Vera kneeled before him, looked him in the eyes and smiled.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Vera.”

“Gongon.”

“Hatchlings should have guardians or babysitters. What are those goggles?”

The two talked, and Junhyuk turned to Layla, who was Halo’s disciple. She was standing next to him.

After that, Junhyuk quickly called Sarang and Elise over. As soon as they were invited, they showed up.

They all sat down. Gongon tried to sit next to him, but Elise picked him up and walked over to Vera. Sarang, who was learning spells from Vera, Elise, who was studying magitek, and Gongon sat with her.

Elise got a champagne bottle from all of the alcohol and started drinking with the others.

Halo, Layla and Nudra sat together. Layla had already met Nudra.

Artlan sat next to him, and Junhyuk was happy with the sitting arrangement.

Artlan was his mentor, so he offered him a glass of Macallan Whisky. Junhyuk thought Artlan would like the brand, but Artlan could drink a lot.

Instead of taking the glass, Artlan drank from the bottle. Junhyuk couldn’t keep up with him.

Junhyuk had prepared the best dishes. He had not kept them inside the Spatial Bag. Instead, Elise had brought the plates into the facility, but Artlan wasn’t eating.

The hero emptied bottle after bottle.

After grabbing another bottle of whiskey, Artlan said, “Nice aroma.”

Junhyuk smiled.

“We are all here, so let’s have a toast.”

Artlan shrugged and said, “Let’s.”

Junhyuk poured everyone another round of drinks and got up. Almost everyone was a hero, so they could all drink heavily.

Everyone turned to him, and he said, “I’m really happy to meet you. Everyone here has helped me stay alive.”

Everyone smiled, and he raised his glass, “Let’s toast! Cheers!”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank. Junhyuk’s thoughts turned to Artlan, and he saw the hero drinking from a bottle.

He offered everyone food and said, “Please, enjoy your time here.”

He walked back to Artlan, who was on his fifth bottle of whiskey. The hero seemed to have liked the alcohol. Junhyuk liked it as well, so the two drank together.

“I like this drink.”

Junhyuk stared at Artlan for a moment. He thought the hero could drink anything he wanted.

“I’m glad you like it.”

Artlan looked around and said, “I’ve never wanted to buy a training facility, but it does have its uses.”

“It was expensive.”

Artlan nodded and replied, “Right. I couldn’t imagine why one would be so expensive.”

Artlan emptied the bottle, and Junhyuk asked, “How is it going for you?”

“You mean in the Dimensional Battlefield?”

“Yes.”

Artlan smirked and said, “After you and Sarang left, we got two human experts.”

“Who?”

Junhyuk knew nearly all of the powered people on Earth, but he didn’t know which teams they fought for.

“Will you know who if I tell you?”

“I know 90 percent of the human experts.”

“They aren’t that useful, but thanks to them, we’re winning.”

Artlan had fought legend candidates, and since then, he had to have gotten better items. Junhyuk thought that his items might be on par with Artlan’s. They might even be better. He had legendary weapons and items now.

Artlan gave off more energy than the heroes who had crossed over to his dimension. He was simply superior.

Junhyuk stared at him, and Artlan set his bottle down and looked at Junhyuk.

“I heard you are winning.”

“From whom did you hear that?”

“From the managers responsible for me. I can find out about other heroes from them.”

“Really?”

Artlan nodded and said, “If things continue that way, you will end up against us.”

“You’ll become a legend before that happens.”

Artlan laughed hard and replied, “Maybe.”

Junhyuk was actually curious about how his team would fare against Artlan’s team. He was no match for Artlan on Earth, but what about in the Dimensional Battlefield, with all its restrictions.

Artlan emptied another bottle and asked, “This place is small, but do you want to spar with me?”

“Spar?”

Junhyuk took a moment to think about Artlan’s words, but not long.

He got up and declared, “I’ve been meaning to spar with you.”

Looking at Sarang, Artlan said, “You have a healer, so all I gotta do is not kill you, right?”

Junhyuk felt a jab to his pride and replied, “Be careful with what you say. My swords have no eyes. They won’t distinguish you from an enemy.”
