Chapter 478 - Changes 3

Chapter 478: Changes 3
It did not take long to apply the enhancement stones. After the upgrades, Junhyuk inspected his sword again, astonished by what he saw.
—
Dentra’s Magic Sword +5 (legendary)
Attack +2,463
Resistance Against Magic Attack +30%
Dentra wielded this wind sword. The energy of the wind flows through it. With its high resistance to magic, this sword is the nemesis of mages.


—
Junhyuk had simply upgraded it five times, but its attack was already over 2,400. That was why heroes bought legendary weapons.
Ronga’s broadsword also seemed to have a really high attack stat like this one. Due to his new sword, Junhyuk would be able to display enormous damage potential.
He swung his new sword lightly and looked at the Blood Rune Sword. He wanted to combine the effects of the two.

Can I merge the blood sucking ability of the Blood Rune Sword into this one?

Bebe shook his head and answered,
That’s impossible. Legendary weapons can’t merge with other weapons.

Junhyuk smacked his lips. He didn’t really want to use the Blood Rune Sword as it was. It was lacking the high damage stat of the others.
The Blood Rune Sword was superior to many other swords, and he had upgraded it multiple times with the enhancement stones he had earned in the Champions’ Battlefield.
Nevertheless, he put the Blood Rune Sword away and engraved Dentra’s Magic Sword with a complex engraving. The magic sword felt different from the Blood Rune Sword. Junhyuk swung it a few times to get used to the new sensation.
The feeling came from absorbing Dentra’s swordsmanship.


After he swung the sword a couple more times, he asked,
Do you still have items from the Vampire Lord set?


I do.


I need a gauntlet.

Junhyuk had lost a gauntlet in his last battle. Thinking that he couldn’t just use any old gauntlet, he decided to buy one from the Vampire Lord set.
Bebe handed him the gauntlet and said,
By the way, you really like sets.


As long as I don’t drop the items, the buffs they give me are really nice.

Set items had nice buffs, so he wouldn’t just dismiss them. Bebe smiled at what he said, and Junhyuk paid 1,700,000G for the gauntlet. He took it and inspected it.

Vampire Lord Lujet’s Gauntlet (set item)
Piercing +30


Defense +45
Attack +50
Critical Hit Damage +15%
This is the gauntlet of the legendary Vampire Lord Lujet. It is made out of the scales of the highest-tiered demon, Donjero. It increases the wearer’s piercing stat by thirty, their attack by fifty and their defense by forty-five. On top of that, it boosts critical hit damage by 15 percent. It was Lujet’s favorite item.
Completing the set increases the power of the item.
Two-Item Set Effect: Critical Hit Chance + 20%
Three-Item Set Effect: Critical Hit Damage + 30%
Four-Item Set Effect: Chance to Ignore Opponent’s Defense +20%
Five-Item Set Effect: Enemies lose 3% of their healths for each of your attacks that lands.
Six-Item Set Effect: On successful attack, 10% chance to trigger acceleration for three seconds.


Acceleration: Attack and Movement Speeds +50%
—
Junhyuk stared at the sixth set effect with widened eyes. A 10 percent change was low, but if acceleration triggered, things could change immediately.
Even with his swordsmanship, gaining the advantage against his enemies wasn’t easy. They were also experts in their own right, so if he could accelerate properly, he would win the fight.
He would also have the advantage against regular attacks. That certainly was a legendary set. He had spent a lot of gold on it, but he was satisfied.
Gripping his new sword tightly, he swung it again.
Slash!
Junhyuk liked his new gauntlet and sword, and he still had a little over 1,020,000G left.
After some thought, he said,
Give me five enhancement stones.

Junhyuk had already bought the set, so now, he wanted to upgrade the items. He applied all five stones to his gauntlet.


The upgrades boosted his defense. He opened and closed the gauntlet a few times. He was done with shopping for that day.
Bebe gave him ten pieces of candy and said,
You spent a lot today, so this is a gift.

He took the candy and threw one in his mouth. It was heavenly.
Junhyuk was mesmerized by the taste of the candy. He looked at the others and saw they were also buying stuff. Gongon and the others were perusing items. Junhyuk wanted to get used to his new items, but right as he was about to practice with his sword, he felt the others walking up toward him. Sarang smiled widely at him.

How do I look?

He could see Sarang had purchased new equipment. She was wearing dark blue items, and blue lightning swirled around her body.
Looking at her, Junhyuk asked,
What is that set item?


It’s actually a full six-item set. I spent 4,800,000G on it.


You had that kind of gold?!


I told you I bet everything, so I won a lot.

The odds had been six to one. Junhyuk had won 2,700,000G, but Sarang had to have won a lot more.

What are the effects?


There are a bunch of them. The lightning circling me is a passive, and it damages whoever attacks me.


Anybody who attacks you?!


That’s right.

Junhyuk turned to Bebe, and the yeti said calmly,
There are plenty of heroes in the Dimensional Battlefield, but only three have lightning powers. Of those three, that child is the only one who can handle a mage’s full set. Nobody had bought it before, so now, she is the owner of the set.

Junhyuk gave him a bitter smile. His own items were focused on close range combat, which were the ones used most often by heroes. People wanted to buy the same things he bought, so the price was sky high. On top of that, it was difficult to acquire them.
Junhyuk looked at Sarang and said,
It was expensive, so how is its defense?


My defense has gone way up.


Good. What about your health?


My health has increased as well.

Against enemies with high piercing stats, it was better to have a lot of health. However, defense was still essential for high health combatants, so it was better to increase both stats.
Junhyuk realized that Sarang was well equipped now. She would be able to resist enemy attacks and attack more.
Sarang wasn’t their teams main damager, but she could be if she continued to upgrade her items. She would certainly have an even more important role.
Junhyuk looked at the others. Layla had bought three new items and was experimenting with them. Rodrey had bought one as well.
Rodrey had plenty of victory rewards, so he could afford it. He smacked his lips and said,
It’s astonishing how a single item can increase my strength.

The hero was juggling his knives with a smile.

Shall we get going?

Junhyuk turned to Gongon, who was sucking on his candy, and looked at the hatchling’s new item.

I’m ready.

Everyone was done, so Junhyuk smiled and said,
Then, let’s go.

When they walked outside, they split the minions. With the new portals, the flow of the battle would be much faster, so it would be a better idea to take more minions with them.
Each lane took two hundred minions for a total of six hundred. He felt like the allies would be able to push through with that amount of minions.

Gongon, you go left. Sarang, Elise and I will head middle, and Layla and Rodrey, you two take the right path,
he said.

OK. I want to test my new items.

While walking, Junhyuk tried out his new sword. There was a weight difference between it and the Blood Rune Sword.
The new sword served him well, but that weight difference could be the difference between life and death.
While Junhyuk practice, Elise and Sarang talked. Sarang’s regular attack was the lightning arrow. So, while talking, she kept practicing it to increase her casting speed. Elise just walked next to her.
They didn’t know which enemies would should up, but they were responsible for securing the buff. Taking the tower was more important than ever now.
After dealing with their enemies, the allies could move to either direction with the portal there, and the fact that the middle also had the buff tower made it so they had to secure it.
They reached the top of Nightmare Mountain thinking that they might have spent too long at the store. They thought they might be a little late, but their enemies were late as well.
Three enemy heroes were coming up from the other side, followed by their minions. One of the minions was taller than the others. In the Dimensional Battlefield, the size of one’s soul decided their height, so that minion had to either be a novice or an expert.
Novices and experts weren’t much help, but they might have special powers. Junhyuk’s very own force field had activated to turn him into a novice, but he was still using it.
Junhyuk watched as Ronga, Yagi and Cuba got to the top. The combination of enemy heroes was different this time. Cuba had replaced Garu. Cuba’s power enabled him to trade places with another hero being attacked.
Junhyuk could kill Ronga by encasing him in his force field, but with Cuba there, that tactic was no longer feasible.
He had to kill Ronga through brute force now. At the same time, the overall strength of the allies had shot up.
Junhyuk was expecting great things from Sarang now that she was equipped with a full mage set.
He turned to Elise and realized he had forgotten to ask about her purchases.

Did you get the runestone set?


I got two sets, but I had to sell some items to do it.

The runestones would help her.
Junhyuk turned to his enemies and said,
Get behind us, Elise.

He trusted his weapons, and his enemies only knew about Aksha’s Longsword. Once they closed in, he would attack with Dentra’s Magic Sword.
Junhyuk took a step forward, and Ronga walked out to meet him. He stared at the enemy hero. Heroes could have the shape of their items changed, but right now, Junhyuk didn’t spot anything new on Ronga.
He would fight Ronga with his mind at ease.
