Legend of Legends

Sarang, who was now known as the first hero, went into battle, and people flew unmade drones to film her in action. They were curious about the extent of a hero’s power.

Junhyuk and Sarang were on their drones, above the monster area, looking at the translucent monster holding the hammer.

Physical attacks did not work on it, so Junhyuk found killing it extremely difficult to kill. However, this time, things were different.

Looking at the monster, Sarang said, “We should fight for real.”

She summoned her armor and held out her orb, inspecting the enemy. The monster was quickly moving toward her, and she aimed the orb at it. An electric blast flew out, and although the translucent monster was fast, it couldn’t dodge her attack.

The monster was paralyzed, and bolts of lightning fell on the monster from the Thunderstorm above it. With that single hit, the monster fell. Junhyuk had gone all out fighting that monster, but now, he simply smiled.

The electric blast had paralyzed it, and Sarang had followed that with a Thunderstorm. The monster did not have any magic resistance, so it was killed by that single combo.

“You did well. We have to retreat because of the blast of the Core Bomb.”

Just in case, they went back to the iron soldier wall. They retreated quickly, while an iron soldier flew the opposite way, positioning itself under the tear.

When they were behind the iron soldier wall, the Core Bomb exploded.

Boom!

The level of destruction was shocking, and Sarang was astonished watching it.

“Is that possible?”

Sarang was highly intelligent, and she tried to understand everything she saw. She had been apprenticing under Elise and asking her questions, learning about physics and other academic subjects, but to her knowledge, what had happened in front of her wasn’t possible.

All of them buildings were destroyed, but the destruction stopped at the border of the monster area. Sarang couldn’t understand it. Magic was bending the laws of science.

Inside, everything was gone.

Junhyuk turned toward her and said, “Wait a moment.”

He accelerated and was gone, leaving Sarang with arms crossed, watching him. She was envious of his acceleration. Even the flying drones couldn’t catch up to him. Inside the monster area, there was no oxygen, so without his acceleration, advancing was impossible.

Sarang waited, and Junhyuk exited the dimensional tear on the flying drone, heading toward her.

“Thanks.”

“I just did my job.”

She was already known as a hero, so she would use all of her powers to destroy the enemies in front of her.

“You’ll only sleep in planes for the next week. Is that OK?”

“Of course!”

Aside from the time they would spend in a plane, she would be fighting monsters. However, she was glad to do it. That way, she could be with him not only at the Dimensional Battlefield, but also on Earth.

—

The combination of Junhyuk and Sarang was too strong for any one monster. Monsters with magic resistance were killed by him, and monsters with physical resistance were killed by her.

There were monsters with both resistances, but the two heroes took care of those together.

In one week, they destroyed seventy-two dimensional tears. Add to that the original fourteen, and they had destroyed eighty-six dimensional tears.

Using the Core Bombs had enabled them to destroy tears quickly, but fourteen dimensional tears remained. They had destroyed more dimensional tears than they had expected.

Many people were participating in the protection of the areas without borders. Teams of experts and novices were positioned in each of those areas, and armies with decomposition weapons protected the perimeter. They waited anxiously.

There were hundreds of monsters inside the monster areas, and when the borders suddenly disappeared, they all rushed out.

The monsters rushed toward the nearby humans, but the armies were ready for them. They started firing. The armies were using heavy weaponry, but there were too many monsters. After the monsters broke through the army formations, they came up against the experts and novices waiting for them.

Those were B-ranked monsters. The C-ranked monsters had focused on the armies. In one area, the B-ranked monsters were attacking the powered people. There were twelve monsters, and that was the start of a bloody battle.

The powered people’s team kept battling the monsters, and that’s when an A-ranked monster showed up. It was a translucent wolf, and Aleksei stepped in front of it.

The people were all equipped with items made of B-ranked monster bodies. All of the experts had brand new equipment.

Aleksei trusted his equipment, but looking at the monster, he got scared. So far, all A-ranked monsters had been dealt with by the Dark Knight and the hero.

The experts thought they could deal with monsters, but A-ranked monsters were on a different level. Especially nowadays, A-ranked monsters were different from before. This was the worst situation possible.

Aleksei did not think he should retreat. He had to stop the monster. If not, the monster would pierce through their defenses. The civilians had been evacuated, but the monsters could still get to them if their defenses were pierced.

Aleksei stepped forward. The enemy was an A-ranked monster, but Aleksei was well equipped. He was stronger than before.

With confidence, he ran forward. The novices behind him used their powers, which slowed the monster down. They powers were rather useful, but the monster still dodged many of the attacks.

The monster moved with surprising speed. However, it was hit by two powers, and its speed decreased. Aleksei headbutted the monster.

Boom!

The monster was stunned, and the army started shooting at it. However, the monster became immaterial, and all attacks missed.

The monster clawed at Aleksei.

“Ugh!”

Aleksei bounced away and hit a tank behind him, getting pinned to the ground. His attack had worked for a while, but the monster was too strong. Without the new equipment, Aleksei would’ve been killed.

He got up and watched as the novices got killed by the monster.

They had only given new equipment to the experts. The novices were wearing the old leather armor, and they couldn’t withstand the monster’s attacks.

Aleksei flying-knee kicked the monster. However, the flying attack was a physical attack, and the monster simply became immaterial to escape it. Then, it bit down on Aleksei with its canines.

“Argh!”

Aleksei was losing consciousness. The monster’s teeth ground Aleksei’s bones, and he screamed loudly as he punched the monster on the forehead.

Aleksei had thought the wolf wouldn’t be able to evade his attack while biting him, but the damage he dealt was too small.

The wolf, still biting Aleksei’s arm, whipped its head and threw Aleksei into the air. The arm was severed, and Aleksei’s eyes became red.

The wolf attacked him again, but he extended a hand toward it as if trying to make it stop. An arrow made of blood formed from the gash of his severed arm and flew toward the wolf. The wolf was translucent, but the arrow hit it.

“Hooowwl!” the wolf let out.

Aleksei regained consciousness. Just now, he had activated a new power, and that power dealt magic damage. However, his new power had angered the wolf, who pounded toward him. On top of that, Aleksei had no more magic.

“Shit!”

He had just activated a new power, but he was about to die.

Suddenly, a thin, ivory membrane surrounded him.

Boom!

The wolf’s teeth bounced off the membrane, and thunderbolts fell from the sky on top of the monster. The electricity covered the monsters body, and Aleksei watched as people surrounded him.

Junhyuk and Sarang, using teleportation devices, were moving at incredible speed through monster areas, killing everything. A group of champions was following them. Ling Ling gave Aleksei a short bow and continued on after the heroes.

Two new champions had joined the team: Dakeda and Zenon. And the rest of the powered people were glad that the two had joined. They were symbols of renewed hope for humanity.

Aleksei continued to bleed, but he could control his blood now, so he wouldn’t die from the wound. He absorbed the blood around him and picked up his severed arm. Modern medicine couldn’t help him, but he took the arm with him anyway.

The heroes and champions were making a path, killing the monsters in the area.

He knew Junhyuk was outstanding, but he was more impressed by the new hero, Sarang, and her powers. She could shoot electric arrows at incredible speed. Those arrows pierced through the monsters’ chests. With her new item, Sarang’s attack had improved. Her magic attack had increased.

The heroes and champions entered the dimensional tear, and Aleksei muttered, “Can I join them?”

Only champions could join the heroes. They were the people destroying the tears. The others were ready to defend Earth, but they wouldn’t survive an attack on the tear.

Time passed, and the Dark Knight and Sarang apparead again. They walked out of the tear toward him.

Sarang extended her hand toward his severed arm, and a light green powder sprinkled over it, reattaching the arm. It had been easier than anyone would’ve thought.

“Are you OK?”

Aleksei moved his arm and said, “I want to join you.”

Junhyuk walked over to him and asked, “Have you activated a new power?”

“Yes.”

“Then, let’s go.”

Junhyuk pulled out the teleportation device and turned it on. They were covered by a bright light.
