Legend of Legends-Chapter 574 - Final Round 1

Chapter 574: Final Round 1

In twenty-four hours, Junhyuk would be back in the Dimensional Battlefield. Nevertheless, he still had to get ready. The time of the monster wave had already been announced, so that meant Junhyuk could focus entirely on training.

He had already informed Guardians about the incoming monster wave. He didn’t know where it would happen, but Guardians could track dimensional tears, so that wasn’t a problem. It would still take time to cover all of the areas affected by the waves, however.

How many tears would trigger this time? Junhyuk didn’t know the details of the waves, but they knew when they would trigger, so they ordered preemptive evacuations to shelters.

Eunseo had ordered the manufacturing of as many iron soldiers as possible. Iron soldiers were expensive, but Guardians had an astronomical amount of funds.

The powered people were put on standby.

Everyone was getting ready for the incoming monster wave. Meanwhile, Junhyuk asked his team to join him at his training facility before the final round.

All members of his team were there.

When Gongon looked at him, he stuck his tongue out at Junhyuk.

“You’ve changed again!”

“I’m now able to control all of the energy within me.”

“I didn’t know a human could be this strong. I’m speechless.”

The amount of Harmonizer was greater than the energy the Dragon Lord had. Gongon was stunned.

Layla was even more surprised than Gongon.

“How can you grow this strong this fast?!”

“I only increased the amount of Harmonizer within me.”

Junhyuk’s pool of Harmonizer had increased, but the world also looked different to him now. Layla had noticed that change in him.

“I’ve lost. I’ve definitely lost. I won’t spar with you anymore.”

Junhyuk smiled and replied, “Even though I’m stronger, I’ll be restricted in the Dimensional Battlefield. My vision has changed, and I can see regular attacks clearly, but the enemy team is incredibly strong.”

Even without their powers, Artlan’s team was still strong. In fact, Junhyuk wasn’t sure he could defend himself against regular attacks from them.

He inspected his team. Gongon had upgraded his weapon to +20, so he was definitely the damager. Sarang had the next highest damage. She could attack from long range, but only two of her powers were attack powers: Thunderstorm and the electric blast. All of Layla’s powers were attack powers, but her damage was rather low. Her stats were balanced, but she couldn’t really serve as a damager or a tank.

“Layla, why don’t you upgrade your weapon?”

She had died a few times already and lost some items. For that reason, she should focus on attacking.

As for Junhyuk, he was stronger on Earth, but he wasn’t sure about the Dimensional Battlefield. He needed to upgrade his items, and though he only had two attack powers, he would focus on boosting his attack as well.

He looked at Helen and Eunseo then. Most of the two women’s powers were useless in the final round. But, Helen had a restraining power, and he would make use of it before she died four times. Other than that, she wouldn’t be much help. Eunseo would definitely not be any help.

If Eunseo tried to fight, she would die like a dog.

“Eunseo, you should stay in the castle.”

“Experiencing death helped me grow. Without dying, I won’t be able to grow.”

Junhyuk could feel the determination coming from her, so he nodded.

“OK. Then, you move with me.”

They had come up with a strategy. Junhyuk thought that Artlan would use the jungle, a preemptive strategy. However, he couldn’t be sure about Artlan’s plans. He could feel that there would be single combats in the final round.

Gongon grabbed his chin pensively and said, “I should be the damager this round.”

Junhyuk turned to Gongon, who had the highest damage capacity of the allies. It was a good idea.

“Where do you want to go?”

“The jungle.”

If Gongon headed for the jungle, he could deliver critical surprise attacks to the enemies. However, the allies would be without him for skirmishes.

Junhyuk scratched his chin and said, “I’ll head middle with Helen. Elise, you go left with Eunseo.”

“You’ll be alone in the middle,” Layla said, and Junhyuk shrugged.

“I’ll analyze my opponents. If I feel that I’m in danger, I’ll teleport and retreat. Don’t worry.”

Gongon smirked then and said, “Right. Give me an item. I’ll upgrade it to a coordinate device.”

Junhyuk nodded. He still couldn’t see coordinates, but he could feel a target’s location. If he could use his Dimensional Shift in the battlefield, it would be like having another ultimate.

He handed Gongon Aksha’s Longsword, and Gongon stared at him blankly.

“Why a weapon?”

“It’s the last thing to drop.”

“Wait a sec.”

Gongon pulled out a bag of powder and sprinkled it on the blade, touching the sword after.

“Right. I’ve input three coordinates into the sword. Just shout them when you want to trigger them.”

“Then, do it for this one as well.”

Junhyuk handed him his other sword, and Gongon did the same thing with it. Suddenly, they all heard Ariel’s voice.

[You can’t equip both weapons at the same time since they both have the same magical effect.]

Junhyuk scowled. Gongon had upgraded his weapons, but he couldn’t use them both together.

“Gon, it won’t work like this.”

“I’ll erase the ability from one of them.”

Gongon erased the ability from one and handed the swords back to Junhyuk. Smiling, Junhyuk said, “Gongon will attack, but if I can Dimensional Shift, I’ll take that role instead.”

Gongon was slow, so Junhyuk would be much faster.

“Right.”

“Are we done here?”

Everyone nodded, and Layla and Gongon pulled out some food from their Spatial Bags. Gongon smirked and said, “I visited a nearby kingdom and threatened them for the food. Eat.”

“They were right to be scared.”

Gongon had used his battleship to make the threat. There was nothing the humans from that kingdom could do but be scared. Still, the kingdom had only had to give him food to appease him.

Layla had brought mostly vegetables and a bit of bird meat.

“It has protein, but no fat. Eat up!”

“No taste, but healthy, right?”

“It’s also delicious.”

Junhyuk shrugged and tried her food. It was better than he had expected. The vegetables tasted different from the ones on Earth.

They enjoyed their meals, and Junhyuk pulled out the items he had picked up in the previous round. They were all very nice, so he decided to put them up for auction instead of selling them to Bebe.

They all exchanged items and bid in the auction. Junhyuk didn’t want to trade, so he was paid in gold. He sold each item for 500,000G, so the three items netted him 1,500,000G.

He had decided to try his luck.

Once the exchanges were done, it was time. Looking at the group, Junhyuk said, “Let’s win.”

Suddenly, the world turned blindingly bright. When he was able to see again, Ariel was in front of him.

[You’re here!]

“Yeah. This is the final round.”

[I wish you victory!]

“Sure! Thanks!”

The enemy team was strong, so Junhyuk was feeling nervous. He stood in front of the door, and Ariel shouted, [Hero Junhyuk Lee deployed!]

After he walked outside, he passed the minions and joined the allied heroes. They all went to see Bebe. They wouldn’t have a chance to visit the merchant after this.

Junhyuk pulled out two items, and Bebe inspected them.

“Those are nice!”

“They were powerful enemies and they all had nice items.”

“Right. These will net you some gold. I’ll give you 500,000G for each of them.”

It was a lot, so Junhyuk sold both items. He had been paid 1,500,000G for the items he had sold to the allies, the Champions’ Battlefield winnings had netted him 2,500,000G, so now he had a total of 5,000,000G. Junhyuk hadn’t expected that much gold.

He looked for a ring. He had lost a 2,500,000G ring in the previous battle, but after inspecting many rings, he found none he liked.

After taking a moment to think, he looked over the rings again. Not all expensive items were good. Legendary items had three special attributes and sometimes even a fourth.

Items of special quality weren’t always good either, but Junhyuk found a set of unique rings. There were four rings in the set, and each of them was worth 1,000,000G.

“Will you give me a discount?”

“Twenty percent.”

“Give them to me.”

The rings only really worked as a full set. A person needed enough money to buy them all, but Junhyuk liked their attributes.

—

Piercing Rings (set)

Piercing +10

Attack +10

Health +100

The owner needs all four rings equipped to gain their effects. The rings are used to hunt tanks.

Four-Item Set Effect: Piercing +20%

—

Though he had to buy every ring, Junhyuk was satisfied with the buff. He put all of his other rings in his right hand and wore the Piercing Rings on his left hand.

After balling his hands into fists a few times, he said, “Give me enhancement stones for the rest of the gold.”

“Putting everything on the line today.”

“I don’t want to have any regrets.”

Junhyuk had spent 3,200,000G on the rings, so the rest of the 1,800,000 went to the stones. He silently attempted the upgrades.
