Chapter 474 - Dividends 1

Chapter 474: Dividends 1
Junhyuk had summoned Agenchra and was now staring at the manager. Agenchra was smiling awkwardly at him.
The manager was covered in bandages, yet his expressions were completely visible.

Jeffrey, the new hero, has been assigned a team.


I want to talk about something else.

Agenchra smacked his lips, and Junhyuk spat out what was on his mind,
Five heroes crossed into our dimension. Before they arrived, the Monster Administration managers had opened up tears. When the five heroes crossed over, there were five tears active. Sure, heroes can do that on their own, but was that really a coincidence?

All of the champions were safe. At the same time, one had evolved into a hero from the ordeal. The results had been good, but Junhyuk couldn’t forgive what had happened.


His eyes were cold, and Agenchra sighed heavily.

This can be called threading the line. Nobody broke the rules, but just barely.


What rules?


Heroes may attack others. That’s not a problem. But managers releasing monsters at the same time could be seen as a conflict.


The timing was just right for both things to happen. Someone made a deal with those heroes, and that’s not breaking the rules?


There is no evidence to support that such a deal was struck.

Junhyuk scowled and asked,
Then the monsters just happened to spawn at the same time the heroes crossed over?


I can’t be sure. I can’t check on that.

Junhyuk was exasperated, but at the moment, he couldn’t do anything.

Did the managers decide that?




The results were good.

Junhyuk laughed and said,
Four heroes came and died. A new hero was born, but is that what you call a good result?


We focus only on activating new heroes.

Junhyuk was speechless, but he couldn’t blame things on Agenchra anymore. Now, he was thinking about how he could strike back at the managers.
He knew that talking would only make him angrier, so he got up.

At this point, if we activate two more heroes, the waves will stop?


If two more human heroes come forth, and another wave is triggered, Eltor will be dismissed.


I’m trusting you on that.

Activating heroes was a difficult thing. Effort could help the odds, but the champion had to be lucky. Jeffrey had managed to do it because the dark energy had overtaken him.
Still smiling, Agenchra bowed and disappeared. Time started flowing again, and Junhyuk sighed heavily. He had called Agenchra to complain, but he had gained nothing from it.



So irritating!

Jeffrey had become a hero, and his will was currently in control of the dark energy.
Junhyuk teleported and found Jeffrey sitting in the center of the training facility. He was working on self-control.
Junhyuk walked toward him, and feeling his presence, Jeffrey opened his eyes.
The whites of his eyes were gone. Now, they were entirely black.
Staring at those black eyes, Junhyuk asked,
Have you told your sister?


Not yet.


Wait and do it after you ask Bebe about it. He might have something to change the color of your eyes.

The dark energy swirling around Jeffrey’s chest wasn’t visible. Jeffrey’s clothes were covering it.

What brings you here?




I wanted to give you these.

Junhyuk pulled out the most precious items he had put aside. There was a chest piece, a waist, two boots, two gauntlets and a helmet.

Seven.

Jeffrey seemed disappointed, and Junhyuk chuckled at that. Of the fifty-seven items, he had only given Jeffrey seven, so it was normal for him to be disappointed. However, those were the best items of the bunch.
He handed the items to Jeffrey and said,
I checked their buffs, and they are by far the best. The suit as a whole had very high stats.

Jeffrey had fought well, but Junhyuk had done most of the work killing their enemies. Jeffrey knew that, so he didn’t complain.

Also, I told you to learn shield combat techniques, but what about using this?

Junhyuk pulled out Alondo’s scythe, and Jeffrey’s eyes widened.

Can I keep it?!


It’s a great weapon, but you’ve been using a shield, so I’m not sure a scythe will suit you.




I’ll make it suit me.


You’ll need to change the way you fight.

Jeffrey carrying a scythe from then on didn’t mean he would be able to use it effectively. Shields could block regular attacks, but scythes couldn’t. It would be a while before Jeffrey really learned how to fight with it.

I want it all the same.

After staring at Jeffrey for a moment, Junhyuk handed him the scythe. Jeffrey closed his eyes then, and dark energy flowed out of Jeffrey and into the scythe. That made Junhyuk curious.
Junhyuk had received Aksha’s swordsmanship, so did the scythe carry something like it?
Jeffrey opened his eyes slowly and said,
The weapon has recognized me as its owner, but that’s it.

Being recognized by a weapon was a good thing.

Get advice from other scythe users, and focus on your defense.


Sure. I’ll learn the basics. Will you spar with me then?


Of course.

Junhyuk meant to increase Jeffrey’s prowess. Just like in the last battle, if Jeffrey did his part, the new hero would be a big help. That was why he gave Jeffrey the scythe.
All of the weapons had buffs, and they would bring him a nice amount of money if he sold them, but he wanted to help Jeffrey first.
Jeffrey smiled and asked,
Can I show you something interesting?


What is it?

Jeffrey summoned the Ghost White Tiger. Then, he got on top of it and disappeared with it.
Junhyuk had to use his spatial sense to spot Jeffrey.

I gained a lot from that last battle. Now, I can ride the Ghost White Tiger and become hidden with it.


You might be restricted in the Dimensional Battlefield.


Yeah? Still, it’ll help me on Earth.

On Earth, that ability was extremely powerful.
Jeffrey had wanted the scythe because while riding the Ghost White Tiger, he needed a weapon.

Good thinking. During your next summoning to the battlefield, try taming more A-ranked monsters.


I can only tame one more, so I’m deciding on which monster to tame.

Each A-ranked monster had a specialty, and Jeffrey wanted to tame the one that would help him out the most.

OK. I’m expecting great things.

Junhyuk walked out. There was no need for him to worry about Jeffrey anymore, but he wanted to keep Jeffrey close by. If the new hero went mad, Junhyuk would be the only one capable of stopping him.
Junhyuk went to his own training facility. His skill with Aksha’s Longsword has increased with his deaths in the Dimensional Battlefield. Now that he had used the new swordsmanship techniques in real combat, it was time for him to learn more.
—
Junhyuk did nothing but train all the way until Friday. Jeffrey had learned the basics of wielding a scythe, so he asked Junhyuk for a sparring session.
Junhyuk beat the crap out of him until Jeffrey vomited blood.
In the Dimensional Battlefield, things might have been different, but on Earth, Junhyuk had his acceleration and his highest-tier runestones. He was superior to Jeffrey, and his swordsmanship was much better.
Junhyuk hadn’t expected much from Jeffrey, but he wanted Jeffrey to focus on one thing. His scythe require great strength to use correctly. Jeffrey had learned basic defensive techniques, but now, he needed to learn how to counter.
When an enemy attacked, the best move would be to parry and counter if you could. It wasn’t easy, but Jeffrey was a hero now, and he was learning fast.
Junhyuk trained Jeffrey and made him focus on the counters.
On Friday, it was possible that Jeffrey would be summoned, so Junhyuk told him to go rest in his own room for the day. It was also time for him to spectate the Champions’ Battlefield.
In Junhyuk’s room, Elise and Sarang were talking about magic. After fighting Dolorac, Sarang had refocused on learning spells. Aside from her powers, her spells had fallen short against the undead mage.
Sarang was learning magic from Vera, and Elise was telling her about magitek.
Sarang was a quick learner, and she listened carefully to Elise’s explanation about magitek. At 10 a.m., they were all summoned to their respective places.
[Welcome!]
Junhyuk looked at Ariel. Agenchra hadn’t been able to do anything, so he was certain that Ariel would have no power to act.
He took his seat and asked,
What are the odds?

[It’s a new team, so it’s six to one.]

OK. Let’s start.

Junhyuk started off through Elise’s eyes. She looked around and walked out of the spawn room. Aditya and a gray orc were there waiting for him.
The orc was holding a cane. Elise greeted him and asked about the orc’s powers. He showed them to her. One of his powers was a supporting power, but the orc was mostly an attacker. Elise talked about the strategy and decided to pair up with Aditya.
It was better for her to move with Aditya since she knew him already.
Elise had incredibly powerful powers, but her items were what made her special. She carried items that could overpower other champions. She could definitely win.
The first battle started soon after, and Elise’s regular attacks took 15 percent off of the enemy’s health with each hit.
Aditya, who had been buffed by her, killed the enemy champions easily.

Yeah!
Junhyuk shouted without noticing it.
