Junhyuk and Sarang were going to see Bebe, so they called Gongon, who was advancing to the second watchtower. Gongon told them that he’d join them at Bebe’s. The hatchling also let Elise know about the change of plans since she was fighting with him.

The fights were dangerous for her, but Gongon had no other recourse. He couldn’t leave Elise behind at the first tower and advance. Her support was a big help. Gongon was already strong, and with the buff she could grant him, he would be able to win every time.

On top of that, there was Zaira. The gynoid’s power was limited in the Dimensional Battlefield, but Zaira would do her part.

Even though Zaira could only function for a short while, Gongon wouldn’t lose during that time.

Junhyuk and Sarang were heading to Bebe when they called Gongon again.

“They are so easy!”

“You’ve killed them?”

“They’re certainly weak to fire. The tank was easy too. And Elise is a big help!”

“OK. Come quickly.”

“See you in a short while.”

Junhyuk and Sarang reached Bebe’s store to see Bebe filing his nails. The yeti smiled at Junhyuk.

“You’re here?!”

“Yes.” Junhyuk gave him the items that he had picked up and asked, “How much will you give me for them?”

Bebe inspected them and replied, “They aren’t expensive items. I’ll give you 50,000G for each of them.”

Junhyuk sold everything, and Sarang sold another three items. Layla must have damaged the enemies before dying for Sarang to get all the kills.

He checked the amount of gold he had. Junhyuk had received another 100,000G, so now, he had 2,425,523G. With an additional 300,000G, he would be able to buy the sword he wanted. If lucky, he would get the new sword during this battlefield. He decided to be proactive in killing the enemies. Junhyuk would kill them six more times.

Sarang was checking out items to purchase when Elise walked in with Gongon. Elise carried Gongon toward Junhyuk.

“How was your side?”

After some thought, Junhyuk replied, “The enemies had considerable power, and their items were worth 50,000G each. Not bad at all.”

“Yeah? Did you also face undead?”

“I did. I think they are all undead.”

“The battle will be easy then.”

Junhyuk turned to Bebe and said, “I have a question.”

Bebe, who was suggesting items to Sarang, replied, “If I have the answer, I’ll give it to you.”

“The undead are weak against fire. Why is that?”

“That has to do with their nature. Fire damage normally deals 10 percent extra damage to all creatures, but in the case of the undead, it deals 30 percent extra damage. However, undead deal 10 percent extra darkness damage to other creatures with any dark attack.”

Junhyuk didn’t know anything about that.

“Is each creature type different then?”

“Not every type has natural buffs and weaknesses. When one gains something, one also loses something. However, there are those who have no buffs and no weaknesses, just like you humans.”

Junhyuk laughed when Bebe said that. Humans weren’t strong against anything, but they also weren’t weak against anything, and Junhyuk thought that was a good thing.

Elise said, “I made more core bombs, but I couldn’t make many items.”

She pulled out four items: two Invisibility Cloaks and two green breastplates.

Junhyuk inspected the breastplates.

—

Dragon Breastplate

Defense +120

Magic Defense +120

Skill: Dragon Armor

This breastplate increases both defense and magic defense. It was made out of dragon scales. The jade shine is beautiful to see.

Dragon Armor: Magic defense increases by 100 percent for five seconds. Two-hour cooldown.

—

The cooldown wasn’t that long, and it was an incredible piece of armor. Junhyuk hugged her instinctively and said, “Elise! You’re amazing!”

She laughed and replied, “I want to keep one of each for me to sell.”

“Of course! Let’s find out the price first.”

Bebe looked at the Dragon Breastplate and laughed hard.

“She’s got skills. Creating a new recipe isn’t easy, and she’s made two already. Do you want to work for me?”

Elise shook her head and replied, “It would be fun, but I’ll pa.s.s.”

Bebe shrugged.

“These are high-level pieces of equipment too. The breastplate is not as great as the Invisibility Cloak, so I’ll give you 130,000G for each of them.”

Elise readily agreed and turned to Junhyuk. By selling one Invisibility Cloak and one Dragon Breastplate, he would earn 280,000G, and so would Elise.

He recalculated his earnings: 2,705,523G.

Junhyuk couldn’t believe how much gold he had. Everything was thanks to Elise.

Looking at Bebe, Junhyuk declared, “Give me Swordsman Aksha’s Scarlet Longsword.”

“Hm! You have that much gold?!”

Bebe pulled the longsword from underneath the counter. It cost 2,700,000G, making it the most expensive item Junhyuk had purchased. He inspected it carefully. The longsword was a legendary item, and he liked its shape. It was one meter long and three fingers in width. The blade was purple.

Junhyuk grabbed the hilt of the sword lightly, and as soon as he did, the sword’s instructions filled his brain.

He was stunned, and smirking at him, Bebe said, “The sword’s ability and original swordsmanship have been transferred to you. How you use that knowledge is up to you.”

So far, his swordsmanship had a wild nature to it. He used his acceleration to attack in unexpected ways. With the Aksha’s swordsmanship, his movements would be much more methodical.

Junhyuk could now attack from twenty meters away. He had become much stronger.

To combine his original swordsmanship with his existing swordsmanship, he would train incessantly.

His new sword would require upgrades, but it would become stronger than the Blood Rune Sword with them.

Junhyuk sheathed Aksha’s Longsword. After buying it, he’d become penniless. He had wanted to purchase a training facility, but he didn’t have the money. However, he couldn’t ask Sarang for it. She needed her own items much more.

Looking at Bebe, Junhyuk asked, “The dimensional managers made a champions’ training facility on Earth. I want one as well with access to it given by me. How much would that cost?”

Bebe laughed.

“Those are like Spatial Bags, but in some aspects, entirely different. It’s like making a Spatial Bag for living creatures to enter. The cost is exactly twice that of a large Spatial Bag.”

The five-squared meter Spatial Bag was 100,000G, so he would need 200,000G for a new training facility.

Junhyuk clicked his tongue, and Sarang interjected into the conversation.

“I can buy it.”

“No, that’s not necessary.”

On Earth, he could get whatever he wanted. Not as the Dark Knight, but as Max.

He patted her shoulder and said, “Considering your ultimate, you need to boost your attack. When you can kill enemies with a single hit, then you should start working on your defense.”

With her ultimate, she could fight anyone for five seconds. During that time, the enemy wouldn’t be able to hurt her, so it was better for her to increase her attack first. By increasing the number of items she owned, she too would become a legend later.

Sarang nodded and purchased an item. Meanwhile, Elise was buying runestones. She bought three of the highest-quality intelligence runestones.

Junhyuk walked up to her and said, “You need an items to socket those to.”

“I’m aware. I got one as a gift. It also gives a 10 percent boost to the runestones socketed to it.”

She showed him a glove, and Junhyuk stared blankly at it.

“Elise is a child as useful as you. I made this as an experiment and I wanted to give it to her. It can only take five runestones,” Gongon said.

It was the first time Gongon had made that, but it was outstanding. Gongon was extremely generous for giving it away as a present.

“Thanks!”

“Elise is learning magic from me, so you could say she’s my first human apprentice,” Gongon replied with a shrug.

Elise socketed the runestones, and her eyes beamed.

“Whoa! These are amazing!”

Elise could feel the intelligence runestone working on her brain. So far, she had never felt like her brain had lacked something. However, lately, she’d started having headaches, but now, the headaches were gone.

With more intelligence runestones, Elise would be able to create more equipment. She was very happy.

Meanwhile, Junhyuk swung his new longsword lightly. The length of the sword extended. Junhyuk wanted to get used to it and master Aksha’s swordsmanship. Junhyuk swung it a few more times and turned to Gongon.

“How many minions do you have?”

“Fifty-two.”

Even if the two groups combined their minions, their numbers wouldn’t be that high. The second tower on the left path was already destroyed, so Junhyuk wanted to push that side. If the enemies headed middle, the allies could push through the left and end the battle.

Looking at the group, he said, “We’ll take the left path. The second watchtower is gone, so even if the enemy takes the buff, we can push on.”

Gongon readily agreed and beckoned for Elise. She ran to the hatchling, and Gongon hopped on her and said, “I should make a movement speed item and give it to you as a present.”

“Thank you!”

Gongon’s goal was to use Elise as a vehicle by giving her the item to increase her speed, but she wanted it anyway.

Junhyuk shook his head while watching their interaction and turned to Bebe.

“Bebe, I have a question.”

Bebe, who was about to close shop, turned to him. He walked over to the yeti and pulled out a core. Bebe’s eyes beamed as he saw it.

“Where did you get it?”

Bebe recognized the core, so Junhyuk decided to ask Bebe about it.

“This core created a dimensional tear in my dimension. Do you want to buy it?”
