Chapter 562 - Evolution 2
Chapter 562: Evolution 2
Junhyuk stared at Artlan, who had just dodged his Dimensional Slash. Moving his arms around, Artlan said, “That could’ve been dangerous. I had to use my acceleration at maximum output to doge it.”
“I was surprised that you could dodge it altogether. How were you able to sense it?”
“I couldn’t sense it. Only my sixth sense could detect it.”
“Sixth sense...”
One couldn’t develop a sixth sense. Junhyu smacked his lips and thought deeply about his Dimensional Slash. The attack cut through dimension almost instantaneously, but with the full use of acceleration, it was possible to dodge it. Still, one had to have a sixth sense to do it.
Junhyuk had to decrease the time the slash took to slice through the dimensional walls. That way, nobody would be able to dodge it, even those with a sixth sense.
Junhyuk remained silent and focused on polishing his attack. At the same time, Artlan closed his eyes and focused on further developing his sixth sense. Even for Artlan, the Dimensional Slash was dangerous.
Artlan had never been seriously injured in a fight. If the Dimensional Battlefield didn’t have restrictions, Artlan was confident that he would win every battle. However, Artlan had been injured now. Both of them had discussed the attack before it went off, but Artlan still had a hard time blocking. That meant that the Dimensional Slash was a superior power.
It could slice through dimensions, so of course it would be powerful.
Artlan polished his sixth sense. He wanted to be able to sense things from every direction. He knew he had to increase the limit on his acceleration and his sixth sense.
Artlan had to sense when Junhyuk made up his mind to attack. The slash required willpower, and Artlan had to be able to notice when Junhyuk’s will was made up.
Three hours passed from the moment Junhyuk started meditating on the Dimensional Slash. Junhyuk learned about the principles of the attack and realized how he could improve it.
He had to focus Harmonizer at just the right moment to release the slash effectively.
“Let’s try it again.”
“Right. I’ve been waiting.”
Junhyuk had created the Dimensional Slash, an attack he thought couldn’t be dodged. Attacks that crossed through dimensions weren’t easy to deal with, and now, he was trying to find a way to deliver it even faster.
He used the slash, but Artlan dodged it again. Junhyuk was stunned. When his attack crossed the dimensional wall, he thought had inflicted at least 20 percent of damage to Artlan, but Artlan dodged it even more easily than before.
The hero smirked and said, “OK. I can dodge your Dimensional Slash now.”
Junhyuk was speechless. What Artlan had said was true. The hero opened his arms wide and said, “This time, attack me anywhere.”
Junhyuk’s pride was hurt by that statement.
“OK.”
Junhyuk used his Dimensional Slash again, going for something other than Artlan’s arm, but Artlan dodged it still. Artlan continued to dodge his slash even as Junhyuk continued to use it. He was stunned.
Staring at him, Artlan lowered his sabers and said, “When your Dimensional Slash evolves again, call me.”
The hero left, and Junhyuk stood there and laughed.
“I must be going crazy. Not even the Dimensional Slash works on him.”
Junhyuk didn’t have to fight Artlan, but his pride was shattered.
Smiling at him, Sarang said, “You can’t defeat him.”
“You mean ever?”
“Do you think you can?”
“I think I can.”
Junhyuk contacted Gongon, who waves his claw at him.
“What’s up?”
“I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it?”
“I need more core energy.”
“Last time, you almost died. Why do you think you can absorb more energy?”
“I’ve made all of the energy from last time mine. Now, I need more.”
Junhyuk need a boost to speed up the dimensional crossing. He wanted to increase the amount of Harmonizer within him. It would be dangerous, but after fighting Eltor, he felt he needed to do it.
If he had had more Harmonizer, he would’ve been able to move even with time frozen for him.
Harmonizer was core energy, and it would be useful in fighting managers. Junhyuk had a lot of cores at his disposal, so he could absorb more energy.
There would be a limit, but he wanted to reach it. That way, he would be able to deal with Eltor. Even if he never met Eltor again, Junhyuk wanted to become stronger.
Gongon folded his tiny arms and said, “It won’t be easy.”
“I know, but my mind is made up.”
Artlan had had his arm cut multiple times in order to further develop his sixth sense, and now, the hero could dodge his Dimensional Slash.
Junhyuk’s mind was made up. He had died many times in the Dimensional Battlefield, and that had increased his skill. He wanted to grow more.
With arms still folded, Gongon said, “I have to prepare, so we can do it after the next battle. How many cores do you need?”
“I can only absorb 5 percent of the output, so I’ll need ten cores.”
“We can only do it in increments of six like twelve, twenty-four, etc.”
“Could I survive twenty-four?”
“It might be possible, but could you contain more than the entire energy of a core within you? That’s more than the energy within a dragon’s heart.”
“I’ll try.”
Gongon laughed and said, “OK. It’ll be hard preparing for all that, but I can try.”
“Please.”
“Why do you want to increase the amount of Harmonizer?”
“I fought against Eltor. After that, I know I need more.”
“The dimensional manager?!”
“Yes. He made me furious, so I used the Dimensional Slash and the Spatial Collapse on him, but the speed of my attacks is lacking.”
“You attacked a manager?!”
“That’s right.”
“Ha-ha-ha! Well done.”
“Not really. I couldn’t reach his real self. I must grow and evolve.”
“Sure. I’ll help you.”
Junhyuk smiled and replied, “Please. Oh! Let’s fight hard in tomorrow’s semifinal.”
“Right! Call me anytime.”
Gongon disappeared, and Junhyuk turned to Sarang, who smiled at him and asked, “Do you need any more help?”
“No. I’ll just train some more.”
“Sure. See you tomorrow.”
“Right.”
Sarang disappeared as well, and Junhyuk sat down comfortably and meditated. To strengthen the slash, he would increase his pool of Harmonizer, but he wanted to try something else as well.
Junhyuk compressed the Harmonizer within him. He had done it before, and with it that way, he thought his attacks would cross through dimensions even faster.
Junhyuk didn’t know how to increase his power, but he would try both ways. He compressed Harmonizer, which wasn’t easy to do. The energy aggregated into one place.
He focused and realized he could accelerate with it that way. It wasn’t easy to change the state of Harmonizer, but he didn’t give up.
Junhyuk forgot about the time, and Elise suddenly contacted him. He invited her and the others who were about to be summoned to the facility
They brought instant food with them, and it seemed like they were pulling an endless supply from their Spatial Bags.
“Today is special.”
“I want us to be ready for the semifinal.”
They would be hungry in the Dimensional Battlefield. In reality, they didn’t need food, but it was all a matter of psychology.
Junhyuk was enjoying the food. With the exception of him, they were all women. Gongon was male, but Layla wasn’t.
There were many women around him, but he hadn’t had time to look at them, so he did now, one by one.
Junhyuk was with Eunseo now, and Sarang was interested in him. However, Sarang was still a minor, and Junhyuk held no romantic interest for her.
Elise felt like a partner to him. She enticed him with drinks from time to time, but she was still just a partner. He couldn’t get close to her.
He was eating while looking around, and noticing that, Sarang’s eyes widened.
“What are you looking at?”
Junhyuk laughed and replied, “I just realized that there were a lot of women here.”
“Right. It looks like you are building a harem.”
“Don’t joke like that.”
Junhyuk had not designed that outcome. If Jeffrey hadn’t been a hero, he would’ve recruited Jeffrey instead of Helen. Jeffrey was much stronger than her.
Helen smiled awkwardly and said, “Maybe I’m the problem.”
She was concerned with the situation with Charles Rockefeller, but Junhyuk shook his head and said, “The Rockefeller problem has been solved. Don’t pay any attention to that. Focus on becoming a hero and getting better items.”
“Can I become a hero?” Helen asked seriously, but Junhyuk laughed and replied, “When you become a hero, we’ll miss you. But with five heroes, the monster waves will cease.”
Sarang agree and said, “We need to become legends ourselves.”
Helen nodded and told her, “You are a hero, so your perspective is different.”
Junhyuk looked at the group, then at the time, and raised his glass.
“To the semifinal! Let’s win!”
Everyone lifted their glasses. They all drank the wine, and once they lowered their glasses, the world turned bright.
It was the beginning of the semifinal match.
