Chapter 432 - Dragon 3

Chapter 432: Dragon 3
A huge fireball shot out at the six champions.
Junhyuk bit his lip. He had already used his force field, so he couldn’t help. Instead, the champions used their powers to try to stop the fireball.
Boom, boom, boom!
Only a few champions were able to block the fireball. Ling Ling and Helen had used their powers to split the fireball in half, and Aleksei had raised a blood shield and blocked most of the damage to himself. The others were falling to the ground.
But, the champions had survived.
Junhyuk had already used all of his powers, so he was worried about how to proceed with the fight, but he couldn’t retreat now. As a hero, Junhyuk lacked his own style of swordsmanship and other skills, but his equipment was superior to that of most other heroes’.


He had a nearly-complete legendary set and a legendary weapon, Aksha’s Longsword. The legendary items were displaying their true powers right there on Earth.
Junhyuk hadn’t been seriously hurt while slashing the firebreath because of his items. Bits of the firebreath had landed on Seoul, and the city was engulfed in flames, but Seoul had been saved from taking a direct hit.
Jeffrey flew the drone for Junhyuk. His Ghost White Tiger had been killed by the dragon, so he couldn’t really help Junhyuk now.
Junhyuk turned to him and said,
You have a long range power. Do you think you can control that dragon?


The range in the Dimensional Battlefield is limited, but if I can get just a little closer here, I think I can.


OK, let’s approach him.

Kalgroan’s firebreath had taken a lot out of him, but he was preparing another attack. The dragon’s spells were all fire based.
Regular magic wouldn’t work against the dragon. Only powers and equipment abilities seemed to work.

I’ll block the dragon’s attack.


OK.



Kalgroan started casting a magic attack again. Attacks that only hit once could be blocked by Junhyuk, so the dragon tried a different tactic. He created an innumerable number of fire spears. All of them were two meters in length.

Take these!

All of the spears flew out at the same time. Junhyuk needed his force field. He had promised Jeffrey that he would protect him, but things weren’t that simple.
Junhyuk accelerated and looked toward the flying spears heading toward him. He knew he couldn’t block them all with his sword. However, while accelerating, he could predict the trajectory of the spears.

Duck!

Jeffrey ducked, and Junhyuk thought back to Aksha’s swordsmanship. He hadn’t practiced much of it at all yet, but he took a deep breath. Junhyuk thought he should have practiced it more. He wasn’t sure if he could use it now, but he could try.
Junhyuk started swinging. Aksha’s Longsword was capable of leaving thin walls of air in its path, but Junhyuk needed to accelerate to make that happen. He needed to focus to handle Aksha’s Longsword well.
Junhyuk copied what he could think of and realized it then that his sword shield was similar to Halo’s power, but his own shield seemed much stronger defensively. He felt like he could deflect anything. However, he knew that Halo’s sword shield would be stronger in his own dimension.
Aksha’s Longsword generated three air walls, and Junhyuk felt like he could control the longsword. Although he hadn’t practiced much of the swordsmanship, he had been using Aksha’s Longsword constantly.
Slash!


He could only use this type of swordsmanship with the help of his acceleration, but he realized he was taking another step toward mastering Aksha’s Longsword.
Junhyuk had only copied the moves he knew, but that had also given him the chance to experience them. By doing that, he realized that Aksha’s swordsmanship required an absurd amount of mana.
Boom, boom, boom!
The air walls blocked all of the fire spears, and the dragon’s eyes widened.

That’s a surprising amount of skill you have.

Junhyuk hadn’t done anything on his own. Aksha’s swordsmanship was legendary, and he realized that he had been arrogant in thinking that he was strong.
He should have been only trying to master Aksha’s swordsmanship, but he had been trying to combine his own swordsmanship with it without fully mastering Aksha’s swordsmanship. Junhyuk knew that he had to combine them to become a legend in his own right, but he had been too eager.

That’s our chance!
Jeffrey said.
While the dragon was preparing another spell, Jeffrey used his power on him. Jeffrey’s power wrapped around the dragon’s neck, and Kalgroan hesitated as he was pulled toward Jeffrey.

It’ll only last a second!



Junhyuk thought a second would be enough. The dragon was right in front of him now.

I am ready!
Sarang shouted.
Thunderbolts slammed against the dragon, who roared loudly from the pain.

Roooaaar!

The dragon’s roar wasn’t just that. Everyone but the heroes around the dragon was stunned, Jeffrey as well. For that reason, Junhyuk jumped off the drone. The dragon was close enough to him now.
Aksha’s Longsword stretched out, aimed at the dragon’s neck, and the dragon raised his mana field. But, Junhyuk’s own mana blade pierced the mana wall and stabbed the dragon’s neck.
Suddenly, Kalgroan disappeared.
Junhyuk focused on his spatial sense and realized that the dragon had retreated. He had used some type of teleportation, so Junhyuk used his own teleportation power.
When he appeared, he stabbed the dragon again.
Kalgroan had a long gash across his neck, and he was bleeding profusely from it. Suddenly, another set of thunderbolts slammed against his head. The dragon was paralyzed, and Junhyuk seized that moment, swinging his sword.


There was no way for the dragon to dodge the attack.
Slaaash!
The dragon’s scales were strong, but this time, Junhyuk piercing stat was higher than ever, and he was able to slice through the scales like soft tofu. Kalgroan refused to believe that he had been sliced through the neck. He hadn’t known of any weapons that could cut through dragon scales.
His eyes widened, and Junhyuk smiled at him.

It’s time for you to die.

The sword’s blade vanished, and Kalgroan felt something pierce through his brain. His consciousness faded. The forty-meter long body lost its ability to remain afloat and fell to the ground.
Boom!
The ground shook, and Junhyuk stared at Kalgroan. The dragon had certainly been extremely powerful.
Looking around, Junhyuk could see that part of Seoul had been destroyed. Firemen had been deployed to rescue the civilians, but they wouldn’t be enough.
He turned to Sarang. Even after using two Thunderstorms, she was still looking up.

What about that?

The dimensional tear from which the forty-meter dragon had come was still open. Junhyuk thought that Eltor would be inside. He thought about going into the tear and destroying the tower core.
However, as he approached the tear, the tear slowly collapsed. Junhyuk accelerated, but the tear’s collapse sped up.
He scowled.
When he got there, there was nothing left. There were no traces of the life-and-death cycle of space. Now, he knew that Eltor could send any monster anywhere at any time. The managers had to have more than one dragon. What would happen if they sent two dragons at the same time? Earth would be massacred.
Junhyuk sighed. To contain the flames, the firemen had crossed the military perimeter. However, they seemed unable to put the fire out.

Let’s help!
Junhyuk shouted.
He moved out first. Some of the buildings on fire still had people inside, so he sliced through the buildings’ walls and rescued the people.
Junhyuk’s magic defense stat was very high, so he ignored the flames. The other powered people helped in the rescue efforts.
Elise arrived at the site by helicopter. She had brought five helicopters with her. They were a new model, the CH-53K. Not even the U.S. military had them at its disposal.
People got out of the helicopters, and the monster collection team gathered the cadavers and materials. They even collected a lot of the dragon’s blood that had spilled everywhere.
Elise walked up to him. Junhyuk had just gotten done with rescuing two people out of a building. His spatial sense had told him where the people had been. As he looked around, he saw that Seoul was still in flames, but he had rescued all of the survivors. Nevertheless, the collateral damage was extremely high.
Only bits of the firebreath had landed on the city, but Seoul was ablaze.
Junhyuk offered Elise his hand and said,
I didn’t think you’d would be able to retrieve the dragon’s body.

The five helicopters were pulling Kalgroan’s body out.

It’s an S-ranked monster,
he said.

I’m curious about what kinds of things I’ll be able to create with it.
