Chapter 560 - Single Hit 3

Chapter 560: Single Hit 3
After stopping time for him, Eltor walked toward Junhyuk.

I know your powers could interfere with dimensions, but I didn’t know this would happen.

Eltor seemed to be recuperating, or at least trying to. From within the bandages, a blue light was shining and recreating flesh.
Junhyuk stared at the manager while using Harmonizer to regain some health. However, he had lost a big chunk of it. If he got shot again, he would die. Even with his items, there was a limit to what he could do against Eltor.

Fighting dogs are still just dogs, and dogs need to be beaten so that they know they are dogs.

Eltor aimed the pistol and pulled the trigger. This time, however, time was flowing, so Junhyuk was able to see the ball of light heading for him. It looked simple, but he could sense its composition. Just like a core, the bullet had many types of energy within it.


Its destructiveness was beyond imagination. The first bullet had pierced Junhyuk’s defense and damaged him. It was comparable to an ultimate. However, Junhyuk hadn’t been hit like that since upgrading his armor.
Using Harmonizer, Junhyuk tried to make time flow for him again, but he couldn’t. So, he thought his only option was using his powers.
Junhyuk raised his force field and realized that the effect of the force field could cross dimensions.
Boom!
The ball of light hit the force field, and Junhyuk smiled. Because the force field could affect multiple dimensions, time started flowing for him again.
Junhyuk’s swords were coated in Harmonizer, and he stared at Eltor. The manager had lost half of his body, but he seemed OK. In fact, when looking at him, Junhyuk thought he didn’t seem hurt at all.
Junhyuk ran forward, and Eltor laughed at him.

You forgot about one thing.

Eltor waved his hand, and Junhyuk’s force field shattered. The force field could protect him from dimensional attacks, but even then, it was no more.
Junhyuk’s eyes widened, and Eltor walked toward him.



You dared show your dimensional powers in front of me.

Time stopped again, and Eltor aimed the pistol at Junhyuk’s forehead and slowly pulled the trigger. But, Junhyuk didn’t simply stand there.
Time might have stopped, but with Harmonizer active, Junhyuk was still able to use his powers.
He teleported, and the spot where he had been standing exploded. The bullet was made of compressed core energy, so it’s power was outstanding. Half of the bunker was destroyed.
A core could destroy a city, but since the bullet’s output was condensed, it destroyed half of the bunker without leaving a trace behind. That level of destruction was more dangerous against single targets.
Junhyuk swung his swords, but he couldn’t cut someone who was in another dimension.
Looking at his swords, Eltor said,
Your powers are not complete yet. You should’ve been hiding like a mutt.

Eltor stopped time for him again, so Junhyuk teleported. When he reappeared, Eltor stopped time again. Junhyuk had one more teleport left, but he decided to save it, so he waited.
He hadn’t given up. He was waiting for his Dimensional Slash to come off cooldown.
Eltor aimed the pistol at him again, and with a smirk, he said,
It’s been a pleasure.



The manager pulled the trigger, and the ball of light shot off the gun again. Junhyuk didn’t want to die, so he used his last teleportation.
Eltor clicked his tongue and stared at Junhyuk, who was frozen in time. With a smile, the manager said,
You can’t run forever.

Junhyuk agreed. He had already used all of his powers, but he hadn’t been able to pressure the manager. He had been able to damage the manager, but only a little.
Eltor shot at him again. The bullet zoomed through the air. Junhyuk was sure that he was going to die until someone pulled him out of the bullet’s path.
Boom!
Junhyuk looked to the person next to him. It was someone he knew.

Agenchra!

Agenchra smiled at him and said,
I’m not too late.


You are late! I could’ve been killed.


You still had some room.
Turning to Eltor, Agenchra said,
Eltor.



The manager scowled as he stared at Agenchra.

What is a contract manager doing here?


You have broken the rules.


No! He attacked me first. It was self-defense.


You broke the rules, and you used your powers. Did you forget we can’t simply use our powers?

Eltor sighed and raised his arms, asking,
Can’t you see the condition I am in?

Agenchra looked Eltor over and replied,
You aren’t as hurt as you look.

Eltor clicked his tongue, barking,
I’m furious!


The Council has made a decision. You’ll be punished. Return now.

Eltor scowled at the mention of The Council.



Those geezers!
The manager stepped back and stared at Junhyuk, adding,
See you next time.

Eltor created a dimensional tear and disappeared. Then, Junhyuk turned to Agenchra.

What will happen?


It depends on the analysis of the self-defense plea. However, he can’t use his powers on Earth, for that, he will be severely punished.


You mean he will rest for two weeks…


I mean severely punished.


For how long.

Agenchra smiled and said,
He might be demoted from team leader.


Really?


If they assign a new team leader, the monster waves will happen regularly from now on.


Sure.

Eltor had overreacted. If a new team leader was assigned, things would become safer on Earth.
Agenchra smiled and said,
Then, I’ll be going.

When the manager opened a dimensional tear, Junhyuk said at his back,
Thanks.


Sorry for your troubles.

Agenchra disappeared into the tear, and after watching it, Junhyuk turned around. Charles had a nervous look on his face and was measuring the state of Junhyuk’s mood.

It was going so nice for you.


What happened?!

Junhyuk had fought against a manager who controlled time and space. Charles knew how powerful managers were, so even if Junhyuk had found himself in a tough spot, the whole exchange was shocking to him.
Junhyuk had survived, and another manager had appeared and taken Eltor away.

What happened? Your manager will be punished, and now, you are all alone.

Charles bit his lip as Junhyuk walked toward him. Suddenly, Charles eyes shone at Junhyuk, Charles’ last gamble.
The man thought that Junhyuk might end up activating another power, and if so, that he would be able to control Junhyuk. Expecting that outcome, Charles grabbed Junhyuk’s arm.
Junhyuk could feel the energy entering his body, but Harmonizer pushed it away.
Touching Charles’ hand, Junhyuk asked,
Is this it? You can activate powers in other people?

Heroes were limited to four powers in the Dimensional Battlefield, and Charles knew that. However, he was gambling to save his life.
Squeezing Charles’ hand, Junhyuk said,
Did you forget who I am?


What?!

Craacck!

Aaaargh!

Charles screamed loudly as Junhyuk shattered the man’s hand.


I’ll tell you again: Follow me quietly.

Junhyuk picked the man up and activated the teleportation device. The other people would be handled by the iron soldiers. After the device activated, Junhyuk reappeared in Seoul. He turned to Elise, and she stared at Charles.

You got him.


It wasn’t that easy, but I got him.


What happened to your items?!

Junhyuk looked at himself then. His items were all broken. They would repair themselves, but it would take time.

I fought against Eltor.


You fought a manager!?

The Dimensional Slash and the Spatial Collapse worked, but their damage was low. I almost got killed.


You have balls. Why did you pick that fight?


I had no choice. I couldn’t back down.

Elise turned to Charles and said,
Long time, no see.

Charles stared at her. Elise used to work for him, but now, she worked for Guardians. She seemed relaxed, and because of that, Charles realized how much she had changed.
Elise signaled with her hand, and a few iron soldiers appeared. When they arrested Charles, Junhyuk said,
He has the power to activate powers in other people. Don’t put him with anyone else.


He’ll have his own cell.

Junhyuk nodded and said,
When he goes on trial, do it through video.


Sure. I’m still developing the item to cancel powers.

Junhyuk smiled and asked,
How is the HQ reconstruction going?


We’ve only been at it a week, but it’s moving fast.

Elise pointed to a monitor and saw that changes had been made to the plant of the HQ. It was starting to look like a futuristic campus.
He knew Elise was behind the changes. She would be the one making the plans for the new buildings.

I’m looking forward to when it’s completed.
