Chapter 434 - Red Dragon Armor 2

Chapter 434: Red Dragon Armor 2
After a long discussion about dragons, Junhyuk went to his room. He was living with Elise, so he could meet with her anytime he wanted.
Once he was all alone in his room, he call out,
Agenchra.

Sending a dragon had been an excessive move by the managers. One champion and more experts had borne out of humanity, but Junhyuk didn’t like the way the managers had done things. Monster waves like that would kill a lot more people.
Time stopped, and a dimensional tear appeared. Junhyuk tried to inspect Agenchra’s tear as carefully as he could every time the manager appeared so that he could learn from it. Agenchra appeared and greeted him with a smile.

You stopped the wave and you are safe.


I have a question. Can I call for Eltor?




No, he won’t answer you. He can’t hear you either.


Can I only talk to you because I signed the contract with you?


That’s the extent of it.

Junhyuk pulled out a chair and sat down.

How are things on your end? You sent a dragon, a warm-blooded dragon at that.


I was a little surprised by that as well, but I’m assigned to a different department. I have no way of interfering with other departments.

Junhyuk stared at Agenchra and asked,
Are you sure?

Agenchra did not understand his question, simply staring at Junhyuk wide-eyed. Junhyuk felt like he could trust Agenchra for now.

They are doing whatever they want. Is there no way to stop them?

Agenchra sighed.



His team is implementing a absurd plan. Eltor is creating a terrible situation, but his plan is proving to be effective.


Effective?!


Yes, humans now have another champion and seven more experts.


Sure.


Because the plan is effective, I can say anything about it in protest.


No way…

Junhyuk was speechless. Management wanted more heroes, but from the humans’ perspective, things were unacceptable.
After Agenchra’s explanation, however, Junhyuk stopped complaining to him.

OK. You can’t do anything about it, but why did the dragon appear in downtown Seoul?


This is just a guess, but it was probably because of you.




Me?
Junhyuk asked, and Agenchra nodded heavily.

The powered people have gathered in South Korea, and all of the champions are here now.


And management wants more heroes!


That’s right.

Junhyuk’s fight against the dragon had left the streets of Gwanghwamun destroyed. If the firebreath had struck the city directly, all of Seoul would’ve been destroyed.
Next time he fought a dragon, he would save his force field for emergencies. But, dragons had more than just their breaths.
Junhyuk could now encase the enemy in a force field, but he needed more ways to nullify draconic spells. He was deep in thought when Agenchra spoke up,
Deploying a tear that a dragon can cross is not an easy feat for managers, and management doesn’t have enough dragons to use them like that.

Shaking his head, Junhyuk replied,
Doesn’t the Dragon’s Valley have a lot of dragons?

Agenchra smiled and answered,
Those are all from the same group. When a dragon dies there, it doesn’t really die. They might feel uncomfortable and disgusted by the revival process, but they don’t die.

Junhyuk frowned and asked,
Do dragons die in other dimensions?




Yes. If they had sent a dragon from the Dragon’s Valley, it would have even been able to kill you.

Junhyuk scowled with understanding. The dragons from the Dragon’s Valley were dangerous, but things were also different on Earth. He could accelerate as much as he wanted to. Still, dragons could also cast as many spells as they wanted to.

Is there a chance that they’ll send a dragon from the Dragon’s Valley?


That won’t happen. The Dragon’s Valley dragons are managed by the people in charge of the Dimensional Battlefield itself. You’ll meet those dragons there.


Can they send two or more dragons at the same time?


It’s possible, but it would be extremely difficult. To create a dimensional tear of that size, they would have to spend a lot more time on it.

Junhyuk realized things weren’t as bad as he had initially thought.

One last question: can they send two dragons in a week?


It would take a least a week to send one dragon.

The managers needed time to deploy dragons, and if humans were able to transfer their powers to scrolls, they would be able to deal with those dragons.



Thanks.

As he conversed with Agenchra, Junhyuk thought about how to deal with dragons. The wyverns could be handled by champions on drones. Sarang could actually kill them all by herself if necessary.
The Seventh Fleet would also bring along air support.
His only real worry was how to fight dragons. Only powers from heroes and champions actually damaged dragons. Experts and novices seemed only to be able to scratch them. Nevertheless, the experts’ powers could get the dragon angry.
Junhyuk would evaluate everyone’s powers and select the ones he would need. He would transfer those powers to scrolls and use them against the dragons.

Do you think they’ll send another dragon to South Korea?


The dragons are great for activating powers. They exude a superior presence and they can kill most things with ease. There’s a good chance they’ll send more dragons here.

It would be nice if things happened that way. Junhyuk would be ready the next time a dragon appeared in South Korea, but he couldn’t say the same about anywhere else.

Thank you for your help.


I’m sorry I wasn’t able to do more.


You may leave now.

Agenchra bowed and went away. Junhyuk did not trust Agenchra completely, but since he knew Eltor, Junhyuk decided to use him. To him, it sounded like Agenchra and Eltor fell in competing factions. An enemy of his enemy was his friend, but he wouldn’t let his guard down. Agenchra was still a manager.
Junhyuk changed clothes and went to the training grounds. He had fought a dragon that day, but he would still train. During the fight, he had used Aksha’s swordsmanship and learned a lot from it.
He would train even harder.
Aksha was powerful. Junhyuk was only able to practice his swordsmanship while accelerating, which meant that Aksha was a legend that used mana, and he knew how to do it effectively.
Junhyuk practiced a few moves according to Aksha’s swordsmanship. Aksha had only developed a few sword skills.
He thought about the sword air shield he had been able to make. It was something he had barely managed with his acceleration triggered. He was still just training with it, but he learned a lot even then.
After practicing the basics, Junhyuk walked out. The ceiling of the training grounds was high, but his sword shield had a radius of twenty meters, the length of the longsword, so he went to a field nearby.
The others who had fought the dragon were resting. There was nobody there, so he was free to swing his sword.
He created the sword shield, which used some of his mana. Even in that short time, it had become easier for him to do it, so he doubled his focused on his training.
After he created a three-layered shield, Junhyuk took a break. While resting, he stared at his sword. The sword drained a large amount of mana from the user, so he couldn’t train with it freely.
Aksha’s sword could be used in other ways as well. The sword shield focused on defense, but he knew the sword also had skills for offense. He wanted to try them.
Junhyuk could increase his offensive efficacy with his new sword. He knew he could pierce a dragon’s mana shield with his mana blade, so he tried out some of the sword’s innate offensive skills. They used a large amount of mana, but his attacks were extremely powerful.
Junhyuk trained even harder.
Dragons were S-ranked monsters. The best researchers of the world were analyzing the corpse, but they hadn’t learned anything new.
Elise was in charge of that research, but she was focused on crafting sharp magitek weapons with the dragon’s bones. She also decided to create something with the dragon’s scales.
Elise had a lot on her plate. The dragon’s corpse was massive, forty meters long, but that also meant that she had plenty of materials for her research.
Elise had the researchers figure out ways to use the scales while she crafted the items.
Items made out of A-ranked monsters went for 150,000G in the Dimensional Battlefield, and Elise thought that a weapon crafted from a dragon would sell for at least 300,000G. She worked even harder than normal, and on Thursday, Elise finished an item.

Success!
