Legend of Legends

The mantis hero instinctively swung its sickle at him in midair, but Junhyuk blocked the strike with his sword. He had jumped higher than the mantis. As he hit the mantis’ leg, he broke the hero’s stance.

While passing the mantis during his jump, he was able to hit the hero’s chin and slash his face with his sword, leaving a gash on it.

Junhyuk teleported behind the mantis and pierced the hero’s chest. After the two attacks, the mantis’ mouth fell agape. The mantis quickly swung his front legs toward his back, but the structure of his body made it impossible to strike back while still in the air.

Junhyuk twisted the sword deeper into the mantis.

“Argh!”

Still in the air, the mantis faded away, and Junhyuk turned to the scorpion under him. If he were to fall now, he wouldn’t escape the scorpions’ attack.

Junhyuk grimaced, but suddenly, a thunderbolt passed right by him. A thunderstorm had formed, and Sarang’s power crashed right on the scorpion, who was left with only 20 percent of his health.

The scorpion was paralyzed, and Junhyuk shouted quickly, “Layla!”

Layla, who had been waiting, threw her katana at the hero. The sword flew across the air and hit the scorpion, who took his last breath. The battle had just begun, but three enemy heroes were already dead.

The spider was scared, so he quickly retreated. The archers on the watchtower attacked Junhyuk, who raised the force field as large as it could get, to the point where it even pushed enemy minions aside.

A path had been made, and Junhyuk ran along it. The spider was slow, and Junhyuk was gaining on the hero. The archers shot at him, but the arrows bounced off the force field, so Junhyuk shortened the distance between himself and the spider.

As Junhyuk ran, Layla and Sarang followed him.

As he approached, the spider remained within the watchtower, buying himself more time. Junhyuk signaled with his eyes, and Layla ran around the tower. The archers shot at her, but she simply ignored them.

Layla was hit with arrows twice, but she made her way to the spider. The spider decided to run toward Layla to face her. Layla was out of the force field, so the spider thought he would have the advantage against her now.

That was a mistake.

Sarang shot an electric blast at the spider, who ended up paralyzed, and Layla cut the spider down with her katana. She used her eight-hit combo and followed it with her ultimate. The spider received a total of twelve strikes and was left with 5 percent of his health.

However, the spider was able to move again, and with that, the hero opened his mouth. From it, a white liquid shot out and wrapped itself around Layla, tying her up.

Layla was unable to move, and the spider bit her neck. The spider started regaining health. That was one of the spider’s powers.

Junhyuk ran up and slashed the spider’s ribs. At the same time, Sarang shot out an electric arrow. The spider faded, and Junhyuk smiled with satisfaction.

When he turned around, Sarang bowed to him.

“Sorry!”

“No, you did well.”

Junhyuk had killed two, and Layla had killed one. Sarang had also contributed. Her electric blast had paralyzed the spider, enabling Layla do deal massive damage to the hero. Layla untied herself, and Sarang’s light green powder sprinkled on top of her. As Layla regained her health, she ran off and swung her katana.

She was slicing and dicing through enemy minions.

The enemy minions attacked him then, and Junhyuk ran toward them swinging his sword. Behind him, the archers fired in his direction, but he ignored them and massacred the minions with Layla.

Sarang was shooting electric arrows at the minions who were attacking her. In that type of battle, Junhyuk and Layla were superior to her.

Sarang had a limit to how fast she could shoot her arrows. However, now she had a shield, so she was protecting herself while shooting.

Junhyuk and Layla joined Sarang. The minions were dropping fast. There were many of them, but given enough time, the allies would kill them all.

Elise summoned Zaira, and the scales of both of the gynoid’s arms rose. Missiles shot out of the arms at the minions.

Boom, boom, boom!

Area-of-effect attacks wouldn’t work against minions, but Zaira’s targeting was effective, and every missile hit a target. On top of that, minions dropped a significant amount of money when they died.

Junhyuk joined Zaira in the fight, and the group decimated the minions and destroyed the second tower. There were many allied minions left, so now would be a good time to keep pushing. However, Junhyuk didn’t want to end the battle yet. He turned to the group and said, “Let’s go see Bebe.”

Layla shook her head and replied, “Shouldn’t we push on?”

“We can win, but if the battle ends now, we won’t be able to take advantage of Bebe.”

“You are confident.” Resting her katana on her shoulder, she added, “Fine. The enemy is weak. Let’s go see Bebe.”

The group headed to the dimensional merchant. After Gongon took care of the left side, he called Junhyuk to tell him that he would join the group at the merchant.

The group stood in front of the merchant’s portal, and shocked, Elise asked, “Is this the same as a dimensional tear?”

“No. It’s different. Let’s go in.”

The group entered to see Bebe yawning. The yeti waved at them.

“Welcome!”

Junhyuk nodded, and chuckling, Bebe asked, “Since you are back, are you here to sell more things?”

Junhyuk pulled the items from his bag. He had left the previous battlefield with four items, and he’d already gotten six in this one. On top of that, Gongon had let him keep two other items.

Bebe inspected everything and said, “Hm… These prices vary, but I can give you 250,000G for the first ten items. As for these two, I’ll give you 50,000G for each. Total, it comes out to 350,000G.”

Without hesitation, Junhyuk sold everything. With the 350,000G, he now had 2,042,523G. At that point, he started wondering if he should buy a legendary item or if he should trade his sword in.

Junhyuk thought that for him to become stronger, it was time to change swords. If he got another item, it would bump his set-item bonuses, but for his damage to increase, he had to change weapons.

So, Junhyuk decided to hold off on a purchase. At that point, Bebe looked at the other customers to take care of their businesses.

Sarang walked up to Junhyuk.

“Big brother,” she said calmly. “I have some money now since I sold some items. Should I change weapons?”

Junhyuk knew that it was time for Sarang to get a new weapon. Bebe showed her some orbs, and she was deciding between two for now.

One would boost her lightning attribute, but the other wouldn’t.

Junhyuk took a moment to think and said, “Your attacks all carry lightning attribute, so you should get that one. It would be nice to increase your heal, but it would be better to deal more damage right now.”

Thinking about the future, Sarang didn’t need a boost to her lightning attribute. However, for now, she should increase her attack. Later, she could try to find a unique weapon for herself.

She could get much stronger if she obtained more lightning-attribute items.

“OK. I was thinking the same thing.”

Sarang changed weapons. Her new orb gave off sparks that ran all around it. It would definitely increase her damage.

Astonished by Bebe, Elise walked up to him.

“I have something to sell.”

Bebe stared at Elise and extended his hand.

“Show it to me.”

Elise started pulling out a bunch of items, including fifteen invisibility cloaks. Looking at those, Junhyuk thought it was a good idea for her to sell them. She needed items of her own.

Looking at her, Bebe said, “The combined price is 450,000G.”

Elise turned to Junhyuk and asked, “I tried giving them to Zaira, but it didn’t work. Should I sell them?”

“Do it.”

For Elise to survive, she needed more items. Junhyuk thought Elise was impressive. The first time he visited Bebe, he had had a very hard time spending 100G.

Elise asked Bebe, “Can I see what you have?”

“Sure.”

Bebe opened the item book, but when Elise tried to read through it, she frowned.

“I can’t understand anything!”

Bebe smiled and replied, “So, you need this. It’s a language pill. It’s only 100G, not expensive at all.”

Elise bought the pill and swallowed it. Then, she inspected the items again. She filtered the options to jewelry and chose two rings that cost 200,000G each. Junhyuk laughed out loud.

“You need a weapon.”

Elise shook her head.

“No. I need these more.”

“What are they?”

“One boosts health and defense. The other carries a special effect.”

“What’s the effect?”

“It boosts your magitek crafting success rate by 10 percent. I’ll need it.”

Junhyuk took a moment to think and looked at Bebe, asking, “You have items that increase crafting success rates?”

“I do. However, they are expensive. That ring is rather cheap.”

Junhyuk turned to Elise, and she said calmly, “The health and defense boosts are also important for my survival.”

“You need armor.”

After some thought, Elise said, “No. I can make my own armor.”

It wasn’t a bad idea. She could make better armor than Bebe’s basic armor sets.

“What about your weapon?”

“I need to think about it more.”

Junhyuk thought that Elise would end up making her own weapon.

Gongon and Abel walked in together. They headed toward Bebe, and Abel said while pulling out an item, “Bebe, give me an enhancement stone.”
