Chapter 444: Elise's Activation 1

After the bright light faded, Junhyuk saw himself back in the room with Ariel. She smiled brightly at him.

[Congratulations on your victory! Too bad you didn’t get a pentakill.]

Junhyuk had missed out on the pentakill because he had fought with his team, but honestly, he was just glad to have survived.

“I’m curious about something,” he said calmly.

[Ask me anything.]

“How do you make your opponents drop tier?”

[Your enemies drop tier when there is more than a 30-percent difference between the level and number of items between your team and theirs. Or, if the team loses three times straight.]

“How does my team tier up?”

[The fact is that your team has tiered up with the end of this match. You’ve won two straight times, and there is a definite difference in strength between your team and the enemies’.]

“We advanced quicker than I had expected.”

[Yes. We are still just out of team selection, so there are a lot of uneven matchups.]

“So, are we fighting different enemies the next round?”

[Yes. Nobody is advancing from the enemy team, so you’ll face a completely different team.]

“Can you give me any information on the new enemy team?”

[I cannot.]

Junhyuk smacked his lips. He thought he could have gotten another pentakill since his enemies had lost a lot of items, but his allies had had to help him because that enemy team had had a lot of controlling powers.

He had wanted to beat that team again, so advancing to the next tier had come as a disappointment for him at that moment. Junhyuk smacked his lips again and asked, “How many more rounds do we have to win before we become legends?”

[With this tier up, you’ll need another three tier ups.]

“Wait! You are saying that we only need to advance three more times?”

[Correct.]

Junhyuk had thought that he would have to get thirty-two straight victories to become a legend, but that wasn’t the case.

“That’s not a lot of victories.”

[Your team started out at a high tier since you managed a pentakill during team selections.]

“Really!?”

He was pleasantly surprised by the new information. Junhyuk could massacre as many weak heroes as he wanted to get more items, but what he really wanted was to become a legend as soon as possible.

He turned to Ariel and asked, “My reward?”

[You’ve earned 200,000G.]

“OK. Can I get more information on the Champions’ Battlefield? What are the odds for Ling Ling’s team?”

[Champions: Ling Ling, Jeffrey and Aleksei. Return: 1.5 times.]

“That means that I’ll get 50 percent more than what I bet?”

[If your team wins, yes.]

Junhyuk smacked his lips. The human champions had done excessively well last time, so there were more people betting on them now. He thought about how much he had on hand and said, “OK. I’ll bet 150,000G on them.”

[Accepted. The bet on Ling Ling’s team has been place.]

Junhyuk had gold to spare, but while Ling Ling formed a fantastic pair with Jeffrey, Aleksei was still weak. Still, the three could win.

He placed the bet, which would earn him about 220,000G if he won. That would be enough for him. When gambling, Junhyuk had to consider the possibility of losing, so he didn’t want to go all in.

Looking at Ariel, he said, “Send me back.”

[Doing it now.]

The bright light covered his eyes, and he closed them. When he opened them back up slowly, he saw Elise sleeping on his bed. His eyes widened when he saw her.

“What?!”

Elise’s health and mana had gone well beyond the level of an expert. Her stats were way higher than what they had been before she went to sleep. That could only mean one thing: Elise had become a champion.

He wanted to wake her up, but she hadn’t returned yet. Elise could have activated a new power while going through the traumatic void. That had to have been what had happened.

Junhyuk called Sarang while Elise slept. When he saw her through the communication orb, she said, “We won again.”

“Did you hear about our advancement?”

“Yes, we’ll face different opponents, and I had just gotten used to fighting those undead.”

“It’s because we are early in the season. We have to fight stronger enemies to earn better items.”

Now, the crafted dragon items would get them more gold than the dropped items. Nevertheless, Earth was in trouble. If it didn’t produce heroes quickly, Eltor would continue to attack it.

Still, for Junhyuk, more dragons from Eltor was a good thing. However, he couldn’t think like that since it meant disaster for everyone else. On top of that, if Eltor changed the site of the dragon deployment, things would become problematic even for him.

He would have to have everyone travel there. Dragons could appear in populated areas, killing countless civilians in hopes of generating more novices. Eltor didn’t care about how many people died. He was only interested in heroes and champions.

Junhyuk wished that Eltor would be contained.

“I think Elise’s become a champion,” he told Sarang.

“Elise?!”

“Yes. She hasn’t woken up yet, but I can see her stats are way higher.”

“Whoa! She isn’t playing! She’s already a champion…”

Elise already had the basic stats of a champion. On top of that, she had learned magitek and magic. With magitek, she had created new crafting recipes. Because she was always researching something, perhaps it was natural that she had activated another power that soon.

She had died, which meant she had travelled through the harrowing void. Death affected people in different ways, and Junhyuk didn’t know how it had affected her, but it must’ve been a big help to her.

Elise was sleeping soundly. She was under the effects of abnormal narcolepsy, so there was nothing he could do for now.

She still had deep, dark circles under her eyes. Even though she was a champion now, Junhyuk still wanted to get her sets of the highest tier runestones. He wanted to support her.

Junhyuk looked at Elise and waited. After an hour, she slowly opened her eyes. When she looked around, she saw him looking at her.

“We’ve won again.”

“You must’ve been bored all by yourself inside the castle.”

Elise shook her head and said, “Before reviving, I learned a lot from dying and the void. I thought about magitek and magic and realized something.”

“You’ve gained a new power.”

Elise made a victory sign with her fingers and said, “Yes. I’ve gained a new power.”

“What is it?”

She didn’t have a weapon yet. Currently, Elise was researching the core to craft her weapon. So, what would her power be if she carried no weapon?

She said calmly, “My new power is a type of nullification field.”

“What?”

“Within a certain range, I can nullify enemy powers.”

Junhyuk cocked his head, and Elise explained in a way that he could understand, “I got killed by an enemy with a stealth power. Another had a imprisoning power, so I was worried about how to deal with those powers. While going through the void, I thought hard about it. So, I activated my power while reviving.”

“That you’d revive was not in question, but you took a risk.”

“I didn’t do it because I wanted to. It’s how I am. I thought about magic and magitek. I thought about how to dodge enemy attacks. It was a nice experience.”

The harrowing void had been a traumatic experience to anyone he had talked to before, and Elise had just called it a nice experience. She was more than he imagined her to be.

“Your nullification field, does it affect allies?”

“I think so. It’s a strong power, so I’m sure it’ll affect everyone.”

“Can you use it now?”

Elise used it. While inside the castle, she had practiced with it, so now, she could easily control it.

A purple field surrounded the area with her as the center, and Junhyuk frowned. Elise had triggered something. He could feel it suppressing him.

He tried using his force field, the same field that had protected him from everything so far, but he couldn’t do it. Junhyuk was shocked by that, and looking at Elise, he said, “You’re something else.”

She smiled and said, “I can’t test it alone. Can you help me with something?”

“Sure.”

“Leave my field. Then, use your power and walk back into it.”

Junhyuk understood what she was trying to do. He walked outside of the purple field. Right as he was about to use his force field, her purple field disappeared.

Elise smacked her lips and said, “We’ll have to wait a bit.”

“How long does it last for?”

“Right now, for five seconds.”

For five seconds, all powers were nullified within her field. She could shut down a tank and kill them. However, even she couldn’t use her powers while the nullification field was up.

After thirty seconds, she said, “I can use it again.”

Junhyuk took a few steps back, and Elise activated her power. The nullification field covered the area again. At the same time, Junhyuk triggered his force field. Then, he walked toward the nullification field. Right as he entered the purple area, his own force field disappeared.

“What?!”

He had never experienced anything like that with his force field. Junhyuk stared at her blankly and muttered, “Your nullification field is an extremely high-ranking power.

His own force field had disappeared, which meant that Elise’s power was stronger than his. He stared at her as she smiled brightly.

“Maybe. I’ll research ways to use it more effectively,” she declared.
