Chapter 562: Evolution 1

Junhyuk entered his training facility. Charles would stand trial, and Junhyuk would seize all of Charles’ assets. It was likely that Charles had non-declared assets, but for now, Junhyuk would seize those he had had to declare. The non-declared could be seized later.

With the money in hand, Junhyuk would create a foundation whose sole purpose would be to distribute that money to those affected by the terrorist attack and the monster waves.

Junhyuk raised his sword and swung it down slowly.

He had used his Dimensional Slash and Spatial Collapse against Eltor, but he hadn’t managed to strike the real Eltor. Still, his Dimensional Slash had evolved.

The hydra had been able to sense his slash, but Eltor had not, and that meant that the attack had improved and that the Dimensional Slash had evolved. Nevertheless, Junhyuk come face-to-face with his own limitations.

Had his Dimensional Slash truly evolved, Junhyuk would’ve been able to seriously damage Eltor. He needed a Dimensional Slash that nobody would be able to dodge.

“But I need to see the enemy’s original self.”

Even if he asked Agenchra, the manager would not show him his real self. Junhyuk had kept up the investigation on his own. He really wanted to be able to see, and that was all he could think about.

Junhyuk closed his eyes and triggered Harmonizer. He wanted to see beyond dimensions to his enemy’s real self. The Spatial Collapse could suck anything, even through dimensions, so if the coordinates were right, he would be able to deal a real attack with that single strike.

However, there were limitations to his Spatial Collapse as well. For that reason, he needed to be able to use his Dimensional Slash.

It seemed impossible to see beyond dimensions, but he wanted to try.

Junhyuk was training with Harmonizer when he got a call from Artlan. The hero rarely contacted him first.

“I thought you were busy!”

“I’ve cleaned up most of the mess. Did you fight?”

“Did I fight what?”

“I heard you fought against a manager.”

“When did you hear that?” Junhyuk asked.

“My manager told me that someone fought against a manager.”

“You shouldn’t talk about it.”

“It’s fine. My team is highly ranked, so I get a lot of information. The manager you fought against will be severely punished. My manager didn’t like the guy, so he was very chatty about it.”

“I was also told he would be punished.”

Agenchra had told him the same thing that Artlan’s manager had told the hero. Eltor would be severely punished.

“Did you use your Dimensional Slash?”

“I did, and the Spatial Collapse as well, but both failed to strike at the real self. The damage I dealt was lower than it appeared.”

“Hmm. Really?” Artlan folded his arms and took a moment to think before saying, “Then, you must find their real selves.”

“I need for my attack to evolve so that managers won’t be able to dodge it.”

“Right. Then, invite me over.”

Junhyuk invited Artlan to the facility.

Artlan unsheathed his sabers and said, “You have evolved, but you haven’t been training. You’ll reach higher tiers if you spar.”

“I can increase my level just by sparring?”

“Of course! I haven’t completed my skills yet, but I’m ahead of you. You can reach even higher than now.”

“Thank you.”

Junhyuk did not refuse the offer. Instead, he unsheathed his swords. Junhyuk hadn’t completed or polished the Triple Yin Yang. In the Dimensional Battlefield, even his swordsmanship was restricted now.

He sparred with Artlan by himself.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

They sparred without using powers for a long while. Junhyuk spent 30 percent of the time attacking and 70 percent defending. Artlan was very skilled with his dual sabers. He was highly focused the entire time, the more time he spent sparring, the more he improved.

They sparred once a day, and after that, Junhyuk drank and ate with Artlan while the hero gave him advice.

Artlan was teaching him the right way. Because of all the sparring sessions, Junhyuk was improving quickly.

On Thursday, Artlan looked at him and said, “Let’s check out your Dimensional Slash.”

“It could be dangerous for you.”

“Call Sarang.”

With Sarang there, they could spar without worry. Junhyuk invited her, and she quickly appeared. When she saw him, she seemed shocked.

“Big brother!”

“What?”

“You seem different.”

As a hero, Sarang had highly developed senses. She understood that he had grown.

“I’ve been training.”

She looked at Artlan and smiled, saying, “You should’ve told me.”

“He couldn’t. I’ve been training him.”

“I’m jealous. I can’t get through Vera with how busy she is.”

Junhyuk laughed and said, “That’s Artlan’s fault.”

“What do you mean?”

“Something like that.”

Artlan had dealt with the rebels, and because Vera was the leading mage in that world, she had a lot to deal with now.

Junhyuk laughed again and said, “I’m gonna use my Dimensional Slash. If Artlan gets healed, heal him, please.”

Artlan smirked and said, “You can’t crit me with it.”

“I know. I’ll aim at your arms and legs.”

Artlan extended his arms out wide and said, “Do it.”

The Dimensional Slash could be triggered immediately and suddenly, so Artlan couldn’t sense it.

Through countless sparring sessions, Artlan had developed his sixth sense, so the hero wanted to find out how effective it was.

Junhyuk gathered his breath. His skills had improved. The Junhyuk that day could defeat the Junhyuk of the day before. He wanted to know just how much better he had gotten. He triggered Harmonizer and used his Dimensional Slash. The attack was aimed at Artlan’s left arm.

Artlan moved quickly, but the slash was faster.

Slash!

Artlan’s arm was nearly sliced off, so Sarang quickly healed him. The arm reattached entirely, and Artlan opened and closed his hand.

He had sensed the attack, but he had been late to move.

“Let’s try again.”

“Let’s do it after Sarang’s cooldown is up. Are you OK?”

Artlan was his teacher, so Junhyuk didn’t feel good about cutting him.

With a smirk, the hero said, “I’d never had my arm sliced this easily. It’s good practice.”

Artlan was enduring the pain. When the cooldown ended, Junhyuk raised his sword.

Artlan spread his arms wide and said again, “Do it.”

Junhyuk triggered his Dimensional Slash. The blade flashed, and Artlan’s arm started bleeding. However, this time, the cut only went through 30 percent of Artlan’s arm. Sarang healed him again, but Artlan had managed to dodge significantly more. How was that possible?

Shaking his head, Artlan opened and closed his hand.

“This isn’t easy.”

“How did you dodge it?”

As the owner of the Dimensional Slash, Junhyuk knew his attack had evolved. He might not be able to strike at a manager’s self, but his slash was unavoidable.

Yet, Artlan had still managed to dodge about half of it.

“You aren’t the only one growing.”

Artlan was also learning. The hero was getting stronger, and Artlan’s sixth sense was able to detect the Dimensional Slash activation.

Junhyuk knew that, eventually, Artlan would be able to dodge it completely. If a spear that could pierce through anything couldn’t hit, that spear would be useless.

“Let’s try again.”

Artlan raised his arms out wide and said, “I’m waiting.”

This time, the Dimensional Slash went through only 20 percent of Artlan’s arm. Sarang was stunned.

“That injury is a lot smaller.”

“I have a long way to go still.”

Sarang healed him, and Junhyuk took the time to think about how the Dimensional Slash worked. He managed to understand the attack better and raised his sword.

“Let’s try again.”

“Anytime.”

Junhyuk triggered the slash, and even with Artlan using his sixth sense, the injury was greater than before. Half of Artlan’s arm was sliced through.

Sarang healed him immediately, and staring at him, Artlan said, “My sixth sense is nothing. Your attack has evolved.”

“A little.”

Junhyuk’s slash had evolved, but without hesitation, Artlan said, “Do it again. I’ll dodge it this time.”

Junhyuk valued Artlan a lot. The hero didn’t mind losing an arm to get stronger. For that reason, Junhyuk decided to use his full strength.

His slash was improving with each time he triggered it. However, this time, Artlan’s arm was sliced only 20 percent of the way through. Artlan’s sixth sense was evolving faster than Junhyuk’s Dimensional Slash.

Junhyuk refocused on his sword, and Artlan snapped his fingers at him and said, “Come. I’ll dodge it all this time.”

“It won’t be that easy.”

Junhyuk used his Dimensional Slash, but it only scratched Artlan that time
