The monsters were crowding the border of the monster area, and Junhyuk sighed when he saw that.

“I don’t have pity for monsters when they bunch up like that.”

He stepped forward and swung his sword, and a path opened through the monsters. The minions in the Dimensional Battlefield couldn’t be swept by his shockwaves anymore. There, he had felt weak because of it, but on Earth, things were different for the monsters.

He felt good that he could destroy them, so he got more energized. He cleaned them all away, and after a little while, the collection team gathered the bodies.

Junhyuk entered the area first, and Jeffrey followed him, summoning his B-ranked monsters as he did so. Junhyuk saw that Jeffrey had only summoned three and asked, “Why did you only summon three?”

“I am trying to acquire that monster.”

Junhyuk raised his head and saw a harpy flying above them. He had killed the queen harpy, so after a while, the harpies showed up above them. They were B-ranked monsters.

As Junhyuk saw the harpies flying with their ma.s.sive wings, he asked, “How are you going to catch one?”

Jeffrey, who was petting his porcupine monster, said, “This one will catch it, and this other one will help.” He was looking at a snake as he said, “The problem is luring them here.”

“Luring?” Junhyuk shrugged as he asked. “Is the twin-headed ogre your bodyguard?”

“Yes.”

Junhyuk said calmly, “It depends on what you want to do, but be careful with the harpy. If the Ghost White Tiger is around here, there might be other monsters following him.”

“You mean B-ranked monsters that can hide?”

“Correct.”

Smacking his lips, Jeffrey said, “If you see one, you have to let me know.”

“I might let one slip, so just be careful.”

Jeffrey nodded and made a signal with his hand. The giant snake wrapped itself around him, and Jeffrey smiled and said, “I won’t be in any danger now.”

He had summoned all of his equipment and had the snake wrapped around him. Junhyuk laughed at the sight and said, “OK. Let’s go.”

He took the lead, and Jeffrey followed him. More monsters appeared, and Junhyuk sighed as he saw them.

“If there are monsters hiding, even I won’t be able to fight them!”

Tense, Jeffrey said, “I’ll deal with the harpies.”

“Do it. I can’t do anything against monsters that fly.”

Jeffrey nodded and launched the porcupine into the sky. As it flew, it balled up and started shooting quills in all directions. Some of the quills flew toward Junhyuk, and he stared at the porcupine, swinging his swords to block the quills.

He looked above him and saw that the harpies has been killed in bunches. The porcupine was very small by comparison, but it was still a B-ranked monster, and its attack stat was high.

It ma.s.sacred the harpies, and as Junhyuk looked at the bodies on the ground, he said, “We’ve taken care of the outside threats.

There were still harpies in the sky. Junhyuk looked at Jeffrey, and Jeffrey said carefully, “I only need one.”

“Then, wait here.”

Junhyuk triggered his acceleration and approached a nearby building. His acceleration was fully-powered on Earth, so he run up the side of the building, and as he did, he looked at the far away Tokyo Tower.

“OK. The Ghost White Tiger is still there.”

Even if the Ghost White Tiger was fast, it would still take it some time to get there. The porcupine had killed most of them, so Junhyuk screamed at the harpies.

“Lure them in,” Jeffrey said as he patted the porcupine’s head, and the porcupine shot a quill that hit a harpy. The harpy got angry and flew toward Jeffrey.

The other harpies followed that one toward the expert as well, and Junhyuk used his ultimate. He set the Spatial Collapse on the back of the last harpy, and the others got sucked into it.

Junhyuk learned one thing from that: only heroes could withstand the Spatial Collapse. The harpies had been torn apart.

They had less health than twin-headed ogres. However, there were still harpies flying around them.

Junhyuk teleported to the airs.p.a.ce among them and swung his sword. He triggered the single-point explosion and the harpies were ma.s.sacred again.

Junhyuk looked at the surviving harpies. They had swooped at them confidently, but now they were flying away from them.

He turned to Jeffrey. Junhyuk had used the Spatial Collapse in a way that would leave the harpy leading the swoop intact. The giant snake was now wrapped around it, and the harpy was breathing raggedly.

Jeffrey walked over to the harpy and place his hand on its forehead.

“I, Jeffrey, will be your owner from now on.”

Hearing Jeffrey’s statement, Junhyuk shook his head. Suddenly, the harpy turned into speckles of light and disappeared.

Junhyuk walked over to Jeffrey, and Jeffrey smiled.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I got it easily.”

“Why did you get a harpy? We want the Ghost White Tiger.”

Jeffrey smiled and said, “I’ll tell you why.” He summoned the harpy and tapped his own shoulder, saying, “Grab hold of me.”

The harpy grabbed Jeffrey’s shoulder and flew up slowly, and Jeffrey smiled confidently.

“The truth is that if I’m near you when you hunt the Ghost White Tiger, I can become a distraction.”

Junhyuk laughed and looked at the Tokyo Tower. He couldn’t see anything on it now.

“Jeffrey, go higher.”

“Higher?”

“I can’t see the Ghost White Tiger.”

Jeffrey gulped and headed up higher.

“Don’t kill it!”

“If I do, something else will come out!”

“But I really want this one!”

Jeffrey was being honest, and Junhyuk laughed and said, “Just follow me.”

He started running toward the site of the tower. Junhyuk knew what he wanted, so he was releasing his killer intent as he moved. The C-ranked monsters could sense it, so they started running away from him.

He could sense the spatial fluctuations, which enable him to read the monsters’ movements. Junhyuk stopped running one kilometer away from the tower.

Jeffrey, who was circling above him, looked down at him.

Junhyuk pointed up and said, “Go higher! I can reach you by going up buildings.”

Jeffrey went higher, and Junhyuk looked around. He had sensed monsters, but he couldn’t see them.

“Interesting.”

Junhyuk had sensed at least thirty monsters heading his way, but he could see none of them.

“Maybe I’ll encounter these in the Dimensional Battlefield.”

Every A-ranked monster so far had been a buff monster, so the Ghost White Tiger would probably be one as well.

Junhyuk wouldn’t get any resources from this hunt, but Jeffrey would gain a lot.

Junhyuk could sense the sizes of the monsters. From head to tail, the ones around him were about five meters long.

“You must be B-ranked monsters!”

Elise had told him about some of the fifteen recipes requiring the bodies of B-ranked monsters, so he would give them to her once the monsters were dead.

Junhyuk was trying to find out how their hiding power worked, so he waited, and he felt the monsters moving faster. As he sensed them speeding up, he smiled.

“They’re fast, very fast.”

Although they were moving fast, he still couldn’t see them, which meant that their ability was different from a hero’s.

“What about your attack?” he asked, and the attacks began.

He sensed them coming toward him, but he did not attack. The monsters started their attack.

Clang!

Junhyuk trusted his defense. A B-ranked ghost tiger attacked him, and he only lost 1 percent of his health. Suddenly, that ghost tiger appeared. When it did, it soon retreated, and two seconds later, the ghost tiger had disappeared again.

Junhyuk was astonished by their ability, and he swung his swords to attack and block. He go hit five times.

Slash!

Even though the ghost tigers could hide really well, he could still sense them. So, he easily slashed through the B-ranked monsters.

Once dead, the corpses of the ghost tigers appeared. He placed one of them in his Spatial Bag and continued hunting.

The ghost tigers distanced themselves from him. He had to kill them one by one, but that wasn’t a problem. After he killed ten of them, he sense the ma.s.sive body of the Ghost White Tiger ahead of him. From head to tail, it was over ten meters long.

The Ghost White Tiger had seen what he had done with the ghost tigers, so it was approaching him cautiously.

Junhyuk stared at the s.p.a.ce where the Ghost White Tiger was and smiled. He could sense it, and if he made use of his senses, he wouldn’t have to fear any stealth powers in the Dimensional Battlefield.

He walked toward the Ghost White Tiger while thinking he had to beat the c.r.a.p out of it first.

“Can I cut its legs off?”

“I don’t care!” Jeffrey shouted.

Junhyuk could sense the Ghost White Tiger raising its head. He could sense not only the tiger’s position but what it was doing. Junhyuk did not hesitate.

“Then, I will begin.”

As he ran forward, the Ghost White Tiger jumped back, and smaller ghost tigers attacked him. They were constantly moving, but he did not care.

Junhyuk meant to kill them all, so he started with the ghost tigers.

After all of them were dead, he aimed for the Ghost White Tiger.

“If hiding is your only power, you’ll be caught now.”

The Ghost White Tiger crouched down, ready to pounce, and roared.

Clink.

Junhyuk felt stiff, his body feeling heavy, and Jeffrey screamed from the sky.

“Woah!”

Junhyuk looked up and saw the harpy beating its wings, but slowly coming down.

“I am not the only one feeling heavy!”

The Ghost White Tiger stared at him and then up to the sky. It was now interested in Jeffrey. As the Ghost White Tiger pounded on the ground and jumped, Junhyuk clicked his tongue.

“Going after the easier meal?”

Junhyuk teleported to stand above the harpy, pointing his sword at the incoming Ghost White Tiger.

“I won’t kill you.”
