The group took off for the giant golem on the left. Yagi and Tros stayed back. They knew they would be killed by the allies otherwise.

However, they kept coming out and using their powers, retreating into the castle’s force field immediately after. They were trying to buy time until the others revived.

Yagi attacked everyone but Junhyuk in the allied team. With Dentra’s Magic Sword, she knew her attacks did little against him.

She focused on Layla, who wasn’t specialized in defense. She was much more focused on attack items than Junhyuk.

Yagi popped out and used her power, and Junhyuk felt the desire to kill her. After she went back into the castle’s force field, Junhyuk waited for the next time she would come out.

He had to attack her without her noticing, and that wasn’t easy.

Junhyuk sent the allied minions toward the golem on the right while the heroes focused on the left golem, and he kept his spatial sense active.

He wasn’t looking directly at Yagi, trying to make sure she was comfortable to come out.

Junhyuk swung at the left golem, and at the same time, Yagi came out. She shot at arrow at Layla, but Junhyuk sensed the enemy hero and used a Spatial Slash on her neck.

He used his Spatial Slash without looking. While swinging at the golem, the blade of his sword flashed and pierced Yagi’s neck.

She had not expected that. The Spatial Slash had landed, but Yagi was still alive. She was about to retreat when thunderbolts slammed on her.

Crraack! Boom!

Yagi disappeared, and Junhyuk smiled. He had used his Spatial Slash without looking, using only his spatial sense to do it. Meanwhile, Sarang had gotten Yagi within range of her Thunderstorm.

The two had attacked Yagi, managing to kill her. With things as they were, Tros could come out.

Junhyuk destroyed the giant golem’s head. They lost half of their minions, but the right golem was also at half health.

The allies strength was superior when compared to the previous battle. It didn’t take them long to destroy both golems, even more so with their minions.

Inside the castle’s force field, Ronga revived. He looked at Tros, but did not come out. Ronga couldn’t deal with five heroes by himself, and now that the two golems were destroyed, things had been settled.

Ronga walked out of the castle’s force field and stared at Junhyuk, who pointed his sword toward the enemy hero.

Clang, clang, clang!

Junhyuk was attacking the castle’s force field around Ronga, who didn’t move an inch. He looked at Ronga, who remained motionless and attacked another spot.

Junhyuk was giving him an opening, but Ronga did not move forward. He merely stared at Junhyuk.

Junhyuk felt uneasy with Ronga’s stare on him, but he continued to attack the castle’s force field. Once it was gone, Junhyuk turned to Ronga and said, “See you next time.”

“Right, I’ll be waiting.”

The enemy castle fell, and Junhyuk turned to his teammates.

How difficult had Ronga been in the beginning? Now, he could deal with him. Next time, he was sure he wouldn’t lose either. Ronga might end up buffed, but if not, Junhyuk could easily deal with him.

Ariel smiled at him as he showed up before her.

[Congratulations on your streak!]

“Thanks.”

[You’ve won 200,000G.]

Junhyuk nodded, and Ariel added, [With the end of this battle, you’ll advance.]

“Advance?!”

Junhyuk had only fought those enemies twice. They were his first real enemies, and he had considered Ronga a rival. Now, however, he could kill Ronga with ease, so he no longer considered them a threat. He actually thought that to be a loss.

Now, there was no chance he would meet those same enemies again.

Junhyuk smacked his lips and concluded, “Well, I can become a legend faster now.”

[I wish you luck.]

“Why are we advancing now?”

[Your team’s items are much better than the enemy team’s.]

On his team, only Rodrey dropped items frequently. By contrast, the enemy team had lost a lot of them.

The enemies were powerful, but they had their limits. Ronga’s items were far superior when compared to those of the other enemy heroes, but he was only one hero.

Junhyuk’s team was filled with powerful heroes. His team did not have a tank with a taunt, but it was well balanced.

“Who are our new adversaries?”

Ariel smiled and shook her head, saying, [Sorry, but I can’t divulge that information.]

Junhyuk smacked his lips and replied, “OK. Can I bet on the champions?”

Ariel nodded and asked, [On whom will you be betting?]

“What are the odds for Elise’s team?”

[The odds for Elise’s team are rather low now. Her superior display in the previous battlefield brought her returns down to 1.5 the amount bet. However, that could go down even more.]

Elise was far too strong. After some thought, Junhyuk checked his savings and said, “I’ll bet 700,000G.”

He did not go all in, but he bet most of his gold.

Ariel smiled and replied, [Your bet of 700,000G on Elise’s team has been received.]

“OK. See you later.”

[See you for the viewing.]

Junhyuk bid Ariel goodbye and went back to Earth. Sarang was just getting up as well, and as she opened her eyes, she asked, “Big brother! Did you hear we are advancing?”

“I did.” He grabbed his chin and added, “Last time we advanced, we were summoned two hours later. Maybe, we’ll be summoned at noon now.”

“Sure. We’ll be hungry.”

“Yeah? We can have brunch.”

Junhyuk laughed and summoned Dentra’s Magic Sword. He wanted to know how it would work on Earth, and as he held it, he frowned.

Aksha’s Longsword stretched just like it did in the Dimensional Battlefield, and he learned Aksha’s swordsmanship from it.

Holding Dentra’s Magic Sword now, he was able to control the wind.

With his eyes closed, he focused on the blade and created a small twister atop of it. The twister used up mana. Seeing it, Sarang asked, “What are you doing?”

“I’m controlling the wind.”

Junhyuk couldn’t see the wind, but he could sense that it was composed of mana. He didn’t know much at all about magic, but he was using it with the help of his sword. It was extraordinary.

“What is that?”

“Dentra’s Magic Sword, a legendary weapon.”

“Even for a legendary weapon, that’s too much.”

Junhyuk laughed. The tiny twister made by Dentra’s Magic Sword was the most basic things it could do. Junhyuk increased his mana output and released a wind attack. He was astonished by it. Aksha’s Longsword took his mana and used it directly as a mana blade, but Dentra’s Magic Sword was different.

It used his mana to control the wind, which made long range attacks possible. Junhyuk swung his new sword. The twister disappeared, and the sword released a wind blade. The wind blade went out the window, and when he looked out, he saw that it travelled fifty meters.

Junhyuk had to train with Dentra’s Magic Sword. By his calculations, he would be able to use wind blades that covered two hundred meters. Within that range, n.o.body would be able to dodge the wind blades. Heroes would be able to block them, but it was still revolutionary.

When Elise woke up, he turned to her.

“Did you hear?”

“About what?”

“Big sis, we advanced! We’ll fight another team next time.”

“But we only fought them twice?!”

Junhyuk nodded and replied, “Because the other heroes crossed over and dropped their items here, we were able to boost our strength considerably. Now, we are far superior to Ronga’s team.”

“Hmm…”

Junhyuk smiled bitterly and said, “Being able to deal with them easily is a bit of a loss for us.”

“That’s one way to think about it.” Elise crossed her arms and added, “I wanted to get more synthesis items, but I didn’t have time.”

Elise wanted to upgrade her buffs. She could buff people constantly, and her power had a clear path to evolve it. Eventually, she might be able to buff the entire allied team.

Junhyuk smiled and said, “You’ll have a chance to next time. You can also buy them in the Champions’ Battlefield.”

“It’ll be nice if the location of the store changed there as well.”

It used to take a long time to get to Bebe’s, so Junhyuk liked the change of having the portal inside the castle now.

He looked at the two women and said, “We’ll meet stronger enemies next time. We have to be ready. Do your best.”

Elise got up and said, “I’ll head to the lab now.”

Sarang also got up and added, “I’ll go learn more spells.”

Junhyuk concluded, “Next time, we’ll be much stronger.”
