Junhyuk took the man he slammed against the ground to the training facility. There was no way the man would know how to get out of the training facility, and even if the man managed to escape somehow, Junhyuk was confident that he could catch the champion again.

When Sarang saw the man, she asked surprised, “What’s going on?”

Junhyuk raised his hand and said, “He was among those who attacked Guardians. I caught him. How’s Eunseo?”

“She’s up.”

Eunseo saw the man and asked, “That man is…?”

“He’s the one who destroyed Ganesha. Isn’t that right?”

“I can’t remember. Ganesha and I were attacked right as we exited the building.”

“He seemed like the leader of the group. I’ll send you out now. The HQ was destroyed. Someone has to take charge of the fallout.”

Eunseo nodded, and Junhyuk turned to Sarang.

“You go back as well. I’ll deal with those who destroyed Guardians and join you.”

There were a lot of experts causing trouble, and Junhyuk couldn’t let them be. He would catch all of them and imprison them inside Elise’s special cells. Getting the experts was his job. Once the iron soldiers got back, they would do the rest.

Junhyuk and Eunseo teleported to the J-01, and Elise smiled brightly when she saw Eunseo.

“You’re OK!”

“Thanks to Sarang.”

“You went to the training facility!”

Junhyuk interjected and told Elise, “Order some iron soldiers back quickly, about ten of them should do for now. Meanwhile, I’ll hunt down the experts. With the J-01, we’ll catch those trying to run away.”

Only Junhyuk could hunt down that many experts in so little time.

He and Elise went hunting. The vehicles the experts were using were already being tracked. Shutting down tears was important, but he had to contain the terrorists first. Otherwise, they could create more chaos for society. He would hunt all of them down.

—

While Junhyuk was hunting experts, the heroes and champions were doing their best to stop the monster waves. It took him three hours to get all of the experts, and afterward, he moved out alone.

Junhyuk didn’t need other heroes. He could shut the tears down by himself. With the J-01, he went around the world closing down tears with his Spatial Collapse. On top of that, because he had to use his power that many times, he learned how the dimensional tears operated.

Now that he had core energy within him, he could a.n.a.lyze dimensional tears.

He shut down every tear. For those nearby, he used the J-01. To get to those far away, he used the teleportation devices. He didn’t rest until all tears were closed. The entire thing took him two whole days.

Junhyuk was very strong now, so the monsters were no issue for him. After closing all the tears, he returned to the training facility to meet the champion he had captured. Once there, he looked down at the champion on the ground.

Instead of recovering, the champion’s limbs were starting to turn necrotic.

Seeing that, Junhyuk invited Sarang over and said, “Heal him.”

She agreed and healed the rogue champion. After being healed, the champion quickly used his air blast power, but Junhyuk had already raised the force field to protect Sarang and himself. He retaliated by shattering the champion’s arms and legs.

Looking down at the champion, he smiled and said, “The cooldown for the heal is rather long. Repent for what you’ve done in the meantime.”

Junhyuk kicked the champions crushed leg.

“Argh!”

He stared at the man and said, “Don’t worry. You won’t die, but you’ll feel incredible pain every two minutes. I have to check to see if your arms and legs recovered properly after all.”

The champion winced, and Junhyuk continued, “We are in a different dimension. Even if I kill you, n.o.body would know.”

The champion shut his eyes, and Junhyuk whispered, “Tell me who your leader is. I’ll deal with them, and you’ll stand trial.”

“Trial?!” The champion shook his head and fired back, “You don’t know anything!”

Junhyuk stared at the champion. He could tell the champion was afraid of someone.

“It seems you are afraid of someone else more than you are of me. I can hide you here and even give you food.”

Junhyuk pulled out some food from his Spatial Bag, and the champion’s mind reeled.

It was the food he had prepared for Artlan’s visit, so it was the best money could buy.

Junhyuk looked at the champion and asked, “You want to give me a name now?”

The champion crawled back, and Junhyuk looked a Sarang. The cooldown was over, so she healed the champion again. His arms and legs were back to their normal conditions.

The champion stared at her. He had heard about her healing power, but he had never experienced it before. Sarang had enough power to save people from the brink of death.

Junhyuk, who was gripping his swords, said, “This is your last chance. I’m about to slice your arms and legs off.”

The champion knew he was no match for Junhyuk. He had had many experts and he had thought that with that amount, he would’ve been able to injure Junhyuk.

The experts’ teamwork had been outstanding, and the champion had thought they would’ve been able to deal with a hero. However, after raising his force field, Junhyuk crippled his team within ten seconds.

The hero didn’t use any of his other powers. He simply slashed, whereas the champion used his powers, and the hero was still superior. Junhyuk had shattered the champions’ limbs without hesitation before.

“I’ll give you a name. Promise me you’ll do what you said and not hold me responsible.”

“You’ll be held responsible, as a terrorist and a kidnapper,” Junhyuk said, staring the champion down.

The champion had already made up his mind to speak however. If he did not, he would lose his arms and legs. There was a possibility they would heal him, but if not, he would remain crippled for the rest of his life.

The champions mouth opened, and he said, “He didn’t show himself, but I can guess who it is. He’s name is… AAAARGH!”

Right in the middle of his speech, the champion grabbed his chest and collapsed. Sarang tried to heal him quickly, but it didn’t work. There was nothing to heal.

“AARRGH!”

Pain was shooting through the champion’s body as he rolled across the floor. Junhyuk scowled while watching the champion. He had to get the information.

He couldn’t let the champion die. He felt that every time he tried to find out who was behind the attack, someone died.

The champion barely survived. There was drool all over his face as he got back up slowly.

“Were you in pain because you wanted to tell me the truth?” Junhyuk asked.

The champion nodded, and Junhyuk asked something else, “Your name?”

“Cru Wolf.”

Junhyuk put a search for Cru Wolf. The supercomputers at his disposal would find him, and that search would give him clues. There were many experts a.s.sociated with the attack, and by cross referencing them, he would find what he wanted soon.

“You didn’t snitch, so I’ll put you with the others. You should be safe there.”

Cru Wolf nodded.

He took the man outside, to the bas.e.m.e.nt at Guardians HQ, where there were a hundred experts locked up.

Survivors of the group that attacked Guardians.

Not many experts had survived because the Guardians’ novices were highly trained. However, many novices had died as well.

The experts weren’t receiving special treatment in those cells. They were terrorists, and Elise was crafting items to nullify their powers. The other heroes and iron soldiers were guarding the prisoners.

Junhyuk made an example of those who attempted a breakout. They did not receive medical treatment, and thirty iron soldiers were stationed outside of their separate cell.

Media pundits were going crazy over the attack on Guardians. They wanted the terrorists tried and executed.

The timing of the attack fueled some debate since Guardians was at the forefront of stopping the monster waves.

Junhyuk hadn’t made up his mind on what to do. He wanted to find out who had ordered the attack. The investigation was ongoing, and Cru Wolf was now in one of the cells.

He had to find out who the mastermind was so that the experts could stand trial. In his mind, he agreed with execution. He did not want any of them alive.

However, his fury was reserved mostly to the person who had ordered the attack.
