Chapter 476 - Changes 1

Chapter 476: Changes 1
Tired, Jeffrey was sitting on the ground. Junhyuk fell next to him and said,
Surprising!

His face was sweating cold. Jeffrey was staring at him with a bitter smile.

I thought I could fight you now,
Jeffrey said.
Junhyuk laughed and turned to him. Jeffrey had tamed a Wolf Warlord, and initially, Junhyuk had thought Jeffrey had made a mistake, but he had been wrong about that.
The summoned Wolf Warlord didn’t have an acceleration boost. Instead, it could summon a pack of war wolves. The war wolves themselves were very fast, and Junhyuk had had to accelerate do deal with them.
Jeffrey could hide with the Ghost White Tiger, and Junhyuk had barely managed to sense him with his spatial sense. He still had better items, but Jeffrey really put up a fight now.


Then, there was Jeffrey’s ultimate. After taming the Wolf Warlord, the number of monsters Jeffrey could summon with it increased, and it would increase even more in the future.
Powers were like that. Nobody knew for sure how or when, but powers evolved. Junhyuk had won that skirmish however.
His shockwaves made the number of monsters almost useless against him. Aksha’s Longsword had displayed incredible attacks and damage.
However, even without legendary equipment, Jeffrey’s powers were strong enough. He had an ensnare; he could summon a Ghost White Tiger and wield his scythe. Junhyuk would have to watch out for that.
He pulled Jeffrey up to his feet and said,
Let’s do this again next time.

They were on different levels as heroes, but because Sarang was a mage, Jeffrey was a greater help to him while sparring.

It would be nice to have another human mage hero.


A mage?!
Jeffrey shook his head and asked,
Is that even possible?

Junhyuk shook his head and said,
Not really. Maybe Bebe has magic-related skills and information to sell.


Ah! That’s possible.



Along with scythe techniques, Jeffrey was also learning dark energy spells from the books Bebe had, which meant that Sarang might be able to learn more magic circles from the yeti. To become a better caster, Sarang would have to practice hard.
The following week, Junhyuk and Sarang would be summoned, so he would talk to her about learning things from Bebe. Junhyuk lay comfortably on the ground and closed his eyes. He had learned a lot from sparring with Jeffrey.
He thought about everything he had learned. Even though he could hear Jeffrey leaving quietly, Junhyuk kept his eyes closed and focused.
Jeffrey had probably gotten more out of it than him, but he lay there and thought about the session. He was improving in his use of Aksha’s swordsmanship and he was able to develop his experience during their spars.
He couldn’t really go all out with Aksha’s swordsmanship in the Dimensional Battlefield, so he wanted to learn more about it.
Junhyuk opened his eyes slowly and lengthened the blade. The tip of the blade shook slightly. He could control it now, realizing that he could handle Aksha’s Longsword with ease.

If I buy a new sword, will it come with a swordsmanship of its own?

Junhyuk hadn’t combined his wild swordsmanship with Aksha’s swordsmanship yet. Perhaps, it would be interesting if he bought a new sword.

If it helps me, I’ll learn it.

Junhyuk pulled out a core from the Spatial Bag and held it in his hand. Mana flowed directly into his tired body, but Junhyuk also felt dark energy exit the core as well. He could recognize it now that he had had contact with it.


He thought about many things as he absorbed the mana, knowing that, someday, he would be able to absorb all of the mana from the core.
—
The champions and experts started having longer training sessions. They were still tense from the experience of having heroes cross over into their dimension.
They knew that one of them had become a hero, and even though Jeffrey had almost died in the process, the others were still a little jealous of him. So, they trained until they collapsed from exhaustion.
Junhyuk checked on them and nodded. He believed that some would eventually become heroes.
On average, champions had a less-than a 5-percent chance of becoming a hero, but with luck, at least one of them would do it.
After watching them train, Junhyuk went back to his own training facility. He had a session with Jeffrey once a day and spent the rest of the day training by himself.
If an enemy appeared, the powered people were ready to teleport out. They were all stationed at Guardians now, and more of them were joining after the heroes’ attack.
Guardians was fighting hard to keep the Earth safe. Its importance worldwide was increasing, and each time the powered people were deployed, the organization gained a lot of money.
The powered people had to risk their lives, but it was worth it. The first wyvern attack hadn’t been handled fast enough, so the fallout and damage had been high. Now, more powered people were gathering at Guardians.


As the size of the organization increased, Eunseo became busier. Nowadays, she worked mostly through video conferences.
Junhyuk couldn’t do anything about that, so he did not offer to help her with her work. The heroes had crossed over and the wyverns had attacked while they had been on vacation.
Junhyuk was worried about her, so he gave her the best items he could. Eunseo’s items were on par with the champions’ items.
She was an important figure on Earth, so she had to return safely from the battlefield.
Junhyuk spent most of his time training until Friday came around. At 9:30 a.m., he heard a knock on the door. He had gotten used to that situation, so he opened the door for the people on the other side.
He served them tea, and they talked. Junhyuk brought up what he had talked about with Jeffrey, but Sarang shook her head.

The person who teaches you magic makes a difference in the learning process, so I want to continue to learn from Vera. She’s teaching me lightning spells now.


Yeah? That’s nice.

Sarang was very busy lately, and Junhyuk was curious about how she spent her time.
Elise was sipping her tea, and when Junhyuk turned to her, she said calmly,
I’ve made a new item for the set.



She showed him a red gauntlet. Elise had crafted another item for the Red Dragon set. Pulling out a second gauntlet, she handed it to Junhyuk.

I’ll be keeping one for myself.


Of course.

She placed her own gauntlet inside her Spatial Bag and sipped her tea again.

I’m accelerating my crafting and magitek research, so expect good things in the future. I’ll get another set of intelligence runestones of the highest tier while we are there. I’ve started getting headaches again.

Elise was displaying a supernatural disposition. By getting even more intelligence runestones, she would do even better work. Longterm, it would make a big difference.
Elise emptied her tea cup and said,
When I get those runestones, I’ll be able to craft better items.

The Red Dragon set items were enough. Each of them sold for about 300,000G, and her set was the first set crafted by a human.
Junhyuk wasn’t greedy, so he said,
Don’t overwork yourself. Think of your health.

Elise smiled.

You are a bad employer.

Laughing bitterly, he said,
This round should be easier, but we should also be more careful this time.

Sarang smacked her lips and said,
Can we visit Bebe first?

Visiting the merchant at the start of the battle wasn’t easy to do, but he also needed to go there.
They didn’t always have time to see Bebe, so they were very happy when they could do it. This time, they had a lot of items as well.
Of the fifty items they had picked up, Junhyuk had given Sarang fourteen. He had wanted to give her more, but she had opposed the idea. He also gave twelve to Elise, so he had twenty-four of them on him. If each item was worth 40,000G, he would earn 960,000G.
Junhyuk wanted to get a new item. Legendary items were expensive, but those heroes had crossed the line, and the human heroes had almost died because of that.
The human heroes wanted more weapons so that if they died in the battlefield, they wouldn’t drop them.
Elise and Sarang didn’t talk about magitek this time, so Junhyuk was able to keep talking to them.
At 9:59 a.m., the women lay comfortably on his bed, and he sat on the floor, leaning against it.
Junhyuk closed his eyes at the sight of the bright light. Once it was gone, he noticed he was in the spawn room.
After he opened his eyes, Ariel greeted him warmly.
[I was waiting for you.]
Junhyuk chuckled and asked,
Do you have something to tell me?

She continued, [The heroes from other battlefields have requested a few changes, so there are some changes being put into effect. I want to tell you about them.]
Hearing that there were changes, his curiosity was piqued. Adjustments could change everything.

What changes?
