Chapter 347: Inspiration 1

Junhyuk had had a hard time killing genuine A-ranked monsters in his own training facility, but things were entirely different with this one. This Wolf Warlord had better-developed instincts that could easily read Junhyuk’s ranges. It was certainly different from all other A-ranked monsters he had thought.

Junhyuk accelerated and ran.

When he walked through the window, he appeared right in front of the Wolf Warlord. The monster was surprised by Junhyuk’s speed and waved its hand across him. Its sharp claws almost grazed Junhyuk, but he had already left that spot, and his sword slashed the Wolf Warlord’s head instead.

The Wolf Warlord moved instinctively, but its eye was cut, and it started bleeding.

“Arrrgh!” the Wolf Warlord yelped and jumped to the roof of a building. It was ten meters tall, so it could easily do that. Junhyuk clicked his tongue and triggered his jump skill.

He was still in midair when five war wolves attacked him. Junhyuk had realized that it was time to kill the Wolf Warlord, so he swung his sword. The war wolves were slashed through and fell to the ground. Five had come toward him, so he had used a single-point explosion and the shockwave to sweep through them.

When he landed back on the ground, he looked up. The Wolf Warlord was still standing on the roof of the building, looking down at him. It tilted its head back and howled loudly.

“Hooooowll!”

With the long howl, the Wolf Warlord started transforming. Its fur started turning black, and its eyes beamed brightly. Junhyuk smiled.

“Fine. Let’s start over.”

The transformed Wolf Warlord displayed a shocking speed. Even with how fast Junhyuk’s acceleration was, he realized that he had to fight in earnest, so he stepped on a wall, climbing the building.

With acceleration, he could run up walls. However, the surviving war wolves also chased after him up the walls.

Junhyuk simply ignored the war wolves, running straight toward the Wolf Warlord. Due to acceleration, the war wolves weren’t able to catch him, and he got to the Wolf Warlord before the war wolves could attack him.

To deliver a critical hit, he had to first shut down the Wolf Warlord’s extreme speed. It swung its claw at Junhyuk. If he parried the attack again, he would be thrown in the air once more. So, instead, Junhyuk stopped his own swing and kicked off from where he was standing.

He dodged to a side, and the spot where he had been standing crumbled. Junhyuk moved again, and the Wolf Warlord turned its upper body and slashed at him.

While Junhyuk circled the Wolf Warlord, he realized that that Wolf Warlord had incredible instincts. Junhyuk was suddenly curious of whether he could successfully use the Spatial Slash on something with such developed instincts.

Junhyuk’s eyes beamed, and to decide the matter, he had to use the Frozen Rune Sword.

“Of course.”

Junhyuk parried with the Blood Rune Sword, but the Wolf Warlord was so heavy and powerful that the roof crumbled. Without caring about that, Junhyuk dove out of the way. The Wolf Warlord’s claws got stuck on the roof, and Junhyuk swung the Frozen Rune Sword against the Wolf Warlord’s paw.

Ice now covered its entire paw and arm, and Junhyuk realized that the Frozen Rune Sword worked differently on Earth. On the Dimensional Battlefield, he could affect the enemy’s entire body, but here it was different. Only the Wolf Warlord’s arm had been frozen, but since it had still slowed down, it would be enough.

Junhyuk could move as fast as the Wolf Warlord, and now that one of its arms was frozen, victory would be his. He went to attack the Wolf Warlord, but it started to retreat, displaying its amazing jumping capabilities.

The Wolf Warlord smashed the spot where it had been standing with the pressure applied by the jump, but Junhyuk simply smiled at it. The fight was over now.

Junhyuk chased after the Wolf Warlord by teleporting. He could cover a distance of two hundred meters now, so he easily caught up to it.

Junhyuk swung his sword. As the Wolf Warlord moved, his sword flashed. It wouldn’t be possible to dodge the strike in midair. The Wolf Warlord tried, but it did not escaped the Spatial Slash. A bright, blood-red shockwave extended in a ten-meter radius from the impact, and the Wolf Warlord lost its head.

Junhyuk landed next to the Wolf Warlord’s dead body.

“Hooooowl!”

The Wolf Warlord had died, so the war wolves scattered. He looked toward them, but they were already gone.

Junhyuk stabbed the Wolf Warlord’s heart, pulling the mana stone out of it.

“This is nice.”

The war wolves were still around, so he couldn’t ask that the collection team come in to pick up the bodies. He couldn’t carry them either. So, he only took the mana stone.

Junhyuk jumped from the building he was on and headed toward the Tokyo Tower. He was covered in the Wolf Warlord’s blood, so when the other monsters smelled him, they stayed away.

He headed to the dimensional tear, frowning as he approached it. He had thought that there would only be a tear there, but he felt something else. He could sense the space around him and felt how wide the tear was now. There was a hole in the dimensional wall, but the dimensional tear was also affecting space on Earth. From that hole, he felt something else.

“What is this?”

It wasn’t mana, but something similar. As he reached out with his mind to the dimensional tear, he gathered his thoughts and feelings, focusing entirely on it.

When the champions’ battle had ended, space had collapsed, and he had thought about that event. He had been inspired by the thought, but he hadn’t known why.

He also felt inspired now as he looked into the dimensional tear. It was not the same inspiration, but it was very similar. It was about spatial collapse.

Totally focused on it, he did not see when a snake came out of the tear.

Hisss!

The Black Turtle’s tail had a snake’s head on it, and when the Black Turtle spewed poison, his awareness came back, and he teleported.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!

It was his first time seeing a Black Turtle outside of a tear. It was so heavy that the it was destroying the Tokyo Tower with its weight.

Junhyuk stared at it, but he did not engage it. It was another A-ranked monster, and the fight would not be easy.

He had not gone there to destroy the tear that day. He had merely wanted to feel it, and although he felt like he had not spent enough time doing so, he had done it anyway.

It was time to go back. His spatial sense was developing, and he still had a lot to learn about space. It wasn’t about activating an ultimate or becoming a hero. Artlan had known which road to take, and now he had to find his own path.

Junhyuk would dig deeper in his understand of space. In the Dimensional Battlefield, he would be limited to four powers, but Artlan had more than four in his own dimension.

He would improve himself and develop more powers tied to space on Earth. Junhyuk slowly stepped back. The Black Turtle was so slow that it could not catch up to him. His eyes met the turtle’s eyes, but he was already retreating.

The Black Turtle did not chase him down. The dimensional tear was open again, and monsters started coming out of it.

These were monsters he had never seen before. They were long snakes with wings, flying snakes. There were more than fifty of them. Junhyuk thought they might be C-ranked monsters, but even so, flying creatures were hard to deal with. People with long range powers were better equipped for that.

As Junhyuk stepped back, two flying snakes swooped toward him. He wanted to see what they could do, so he stopped and waited until they approached him.

The snakes folded their wings during the dive, matching the speed of a flying arrow, and Junhyuk triggered acceleration.

By triggering it, he could see the flying snakes clearly. They were about ten meters long.

The first snake attacked him, and Junhyuk changed swords. He wanted to know how effective the claw sword would be. So, he dodged the attack and stabbed the snake’s mouth. It was diving at him fast, so the sword tore through its mouth.

However, he felt the sword being pushed back and frowned.

“Dense?”

The Black Turtle probably controlled the snakes, and it seemed like their mouths were tougher than their skins. They also felt heavy.

The second snake flew toward him, and Junhyuk stabbed it from underneath, puncturing the area under its jaw and piercing through the entire head.

He grabbed the bodies and moved back quickly. A new monster had appeared, and he had to research it.

As he crossed the border out of the monster area, everyone walked toward him.

Junhyuk showed them the two bodies of the flying snakes and said, “Send one to Guardians in South Korea and the other for research here in Japan.”

Junhyuk had gotten it in Japan, so he was willing to give up one. Brigadier Johnson wanted to say something, but he didn’t.

Junhyuk was covered in blood, and there was nothing Johnson could say. His troops lacked enough firepower to kill B-ranked monsters, let alone A-ranked ones. Junhyuk had killed the Wolf Warlord by himself, so Johnson remained quiet.

By contrast, Major Jiro was glad to hear the news.

“I want to shower first.”

“I’ll prepare everything!”

He watched as Jiro left, and the experts’ team ran toward him. Their eyes were filled with fear and respect.

“You went there by yourself. You’re crazy.”

Junhyuk laughed at Peyton and said, “I wasn’t sure I could retreat.”

Everyone laughed at his joke, and Junhyuk looked over the novices and experts. They all knew what kind of person he was now.

Their eyes beamed with respect, but they also carried certain ambitions. They might be nervous, but they wouldn’t be afraid with Junhyuk alongside them.
