Legend of Legends

Chapter 449: New Opponents 1

Junhyuk teleported to Sarang’s lab. She was smiling gleefully, and as soon as he appeared, she showed him the item. The orb had a dragon’s heart inside of it, and there were runes written all around it.

“Have you checked the damage?” he asked.

“I’m about to be summoned, so I didn’t have time to set up an experiment. Can you check it for me?”

Junhyuk smacked his lips. He didn’t have time for it either. To check on the damage, he would have to take a hit from it. It would not be a fun experience.

Junhyuk pondered the idea, and Sarang pulled out the orb she had been using and asked him, “Shall we?”

He sighed, summoning all of his items to protect himself. Considering his magic defense, her regular attack wouldn’t damage him that much. Puffing out his chest, he said, “Begin.”

Sarang shot an electric arrow at his chest, and Junhyuk let it hit him. He felt a sharp pain on the spot and checked on the amount of health he had lost.

Sarang’s attack had dealt 3 percent of damage to him. He rubbed his chest and said, “OK. That’s 3 percent damage.”

“This time, I’ll use the new orb to attack.”

She had crafted the new orb with magitek she had learned from Vera. Because a dragon’s heart had been used for it, Junhyuk was expecting good results.

If she could increase her damage, Sarang would become the main damager in the team. She already had an ultimate that made her invulnerable to all attacks, so she couldn’t be killed easily. If her damage shot up, the team would become much stronger.

Sarang extended the dragon’s heart orb and release an electric arrow. The arrow was much bigger than any other she had ever shot. It zoomed through the air and slammed against his chest.

“Ugh!”

Junhyuk felt an ever sharper pain on his chest. It wasn’t a critical hit, but the damage was still significant.

“That’s 5 percent of damage.”

Five percent. Considering his defense, the damage was very high, and it wasn’t even a critical. Her damage had definitely increase.

“Is it because you made it from a dragon’s heart?”

Sarang smacked her lips and said, “Wait! I want to cast another spell.”

“What spell?”

Sarang cast a spell using mana stones. This time, what appeared was a huge, spinning fire spear. It corkscrewed through the air toward his chest, slamming against him.

Junhyuk took a few steps back while rubbing his chest from the impact.

“Whoa! That’s 8 percent damage!”

She had just used one of her Earthly spells. The damage was greater and real. She might not be able to use all of her spells in the Dimensional Battlefield, but that just showed how powerful she was on Earth.

Junhyuk clutched his chest, and Sarang healed him.

“I learned how to cast a fire lance just in case. Maybe because the orb was made from a dragon’s heart, it has very high fire compatibility, but all other attributes receive a penalty to damage and power.”

Learning that the damage of fire magic increased, Junhyuk smiled bitterly and said, “It’s a better fit for Vera.”

Vera was a fire mage, which meant her damage would increase significantly with Sarang’s new orb. He thought deeply about that. Perhaps, Vera had wanted Sarang to craft the dragon’s heart orb and for her use a different weapon later?

She had used a lot of mana stones to make that new orb. It was of excellent quality. It could deal about twice as much damage as her previous one when used by her, which meant that it was far superior to her previous orb.

However, the new orb benefited fire attribute attacks more. It might even be near legendary tier, so maybe she could sell it for the gold. Vera might even want to buy it.

“Wait,” he said and contacted Vera.

Vera’s projection appeared, and she waved at him.

“Long time, no see!”

“Sarang has finished crafting her new orb. Did you know it buffed fire attacks?”

“It was made out of a red dragon’s heart, so inevitably, it would be a fire weapon.”

“Wouldn’t it be useless for her?”

“No. It was crafted from a red dragon’s heart. It’ll definitely help her.”

“Right...”

“If Sarang won’t use it, I’ll buy it at Bebe’s price. Between us, Sarang wouldn’t charge me more for it anyway.”

“Can she make a weapon more suited to her affinity?”

“She’ll need a blue dragon’s heart for that.”

Where would he get that?! Junhyuk smiled bitterly. He thought about trying to get Eltor to send a blue dragon to Earth. Even though he thought he could deal with it, a blue dragon would be disastrous to the rest of humanity, so he let that idea go.

Junhyuk sighed.

“Thanks for teaching her your expert magitek.”

Sarang had learned how to craft a magic orb, and she could pass that information on to Elise.

“Don’t mention it. I can buy it, but make good use of it. If she upgrades it, I’ll pay the cost of the upgrades as well.”

“Does she have to do the basic upgrades?”

Basic upgrades were a certainty. Those upgrades that came after had diminishing success rates.

Vera smiled and said, “Probably. Anything after the fifth upgrade has an unpredictable success rate.”

Junhyuk nodded. The new orb didn’t suit Sarang, but she could use it to kill a blue dragon and craft a new orb.

Then, Junhyuk looked at Vera and asked, “Do you know how to craft an orb from a blue dragon’s heart?”

Vera grabbed her chin and said, “I don’t have the ingredients nor the recipe, but others may. I’ll get her one.”

“Please do.”

Vera would pass him a new recipe to craft a new orb.

After that, he ended the connection and turned to Sarang.

“It’ll help you cast fire spells. How about practicing them?”

“Fine, but I need to check the range of the orb first.” action

“The orb deals more damage, so use other items to increase your magic piercing stat.”

Once she got new items that boosted her piercing, Sarang would become the main attacker among the allies. At the moment, Junhyuk was still the one to hold that title, but he thought Sarang should occupy that position.

Smiling, she replied, “Sure!”

She yawned heavily and said, “Ah... I haven’t rested, so I’m dead tired.”

“Go home and rest. You can train tomorrow.”

“Is that OK?”

“Sure! Your parents must be worried.”

The wyvern attack had been a global event, and Sarang’s parents were very worried about her.

“Then, I’ll go.”

Without saying anything else, she walked outside, hopped on her drone and left. That way, she wouldn’t have to worry about traffic.

Junhyuk sighed, but he allowed her to take the drone because people liked to see her flying. She was South Korean and a hero. She was very popular, and people cheered when they saw her fly by. Watching her fly gave them renew hope.

Junhyuk watched as Sarang disappeared in the horizon. After shaking his head, he went back to his training grounds.

After assigning teams, he trained even harder. He pushed himself more than anyone.

Some powered people went through abnormal narcolepsy that Friday, and some of them activated new powers. Some experts even became champions.

More champions meant a greater possibility for heroes. With more heroes, they would be able to fight the monster waves more efficiently.

Junhyuk gathered the new champions. Previously, he had thought that he would always be the one to go from expert to champion the fastest, but some of the new champions had progressed faster than him.

A Indian man by the name of Aditya was a new champion he had never met before as an expert. He had animal tattoos across his body and he did not seem to fear Junhyuk.

Junhyuk stared at the new champion and said, “Nice to meet you. I’m the Dark Knight.”

“I’m Aditya.”

“I heard you are a champion now. I don’t know anything about your powers. Can you tell me what they are?”

Aditya closed his eyes and said, “I use a sort of animalistic power. By triggering my powers, I can channel either a jaguar, a falcon or a bear.”

Junhyuk had never heard of animalistic powers, so he simply stared at the champion, and Aditya said, “When channeling the jaguar, I gain increased speed. As a falcon, I gain superior vision. The bear gives me a significant increase in attack.”

“OK.”

Junhyuk didn’t really get all of Aditya’s powers, but by using his superior vision, he would be able to spot enemies easier. The increased speed and attack, he could understand.

“You weren’t an expert for that long before you became a champion.”

“Actually, I spent a long time as an expert, but I had just remained by my family, protecting them until now. However, after that last attack, I see the world is in danger. I stepped forward, and not too long after, I got a new power and became a champion.”

“Thanks for stepping forward for the people.”

“There is another expert in my family now, so I’m free to come here. All the same, you are paying me unnecessary compliments.” Aditya stared Junhyuk down and said, “You’ve been saving the world since the beginning.”

Junhyuk scratched his cheek and replied, “I got pushed into it.” After that, he got up and said, “I want to check out your powers.”

Aditya got up as well.

“I’ll show them to you.”
