Junhyuk took off, and the hydra turned to him. Elise was on comms with him through a device in his ear.

Its not an ordinary hydra. Its hearts energy is equivalent to the energy within a core.

Core energy?

It means its sustained by pure core energy. The level of destruction its capable of is unparalleled. We havent really been able to control all of the core energy so far, but this hydra should be different.

Junhyuk understood what Elise was saying. The red head of the hydra opened its mouth wide. At the same time, Junhyuk contacted Gongon and showed him the beast, flying up across the air. The red head didnt breathe out fire. Instead, it spewed a massive fireball.

Junhyuk quickly released a wind blade with Dentras Magic Sword. The wind blade clashed against the fireball.

Boom!

Suddenly, Gongons face appeared in midair.

Whats up?

Is that a hydra made out of dragons?

Gongon looked at the monster. The blue head was trying to pierce Junhyuk with its horn. At the same time, a thunderbolt shot off from the horn.

Junhyuk raised a mana shield with Akshas Longsword when he saw it.

Boom!

As he was pushed back, Jeffrey stepped forward. Jeffrey was wielding his scythe as he flew toward the hydra. He could summon the Ghost White Tiger, but the tiger would serve no purpose at that moment.

The hydra would kill the Ghost White Tiger easily. Sarang tore a screw to give Jeffrey support as he approached. The scroll couldnt be used in the Dimensional Battlefield, but it had outstanding power.

Lightning bolts crashed down on the hydra from the sky.

Craaaack!

The hydra was gigantic, and it raised a huge force field to block the lightning. Sarangs precious scroll had been meaningless.

As Junhyuk stared at the hydras massive force field, Gongon roared, They enslaved dragons and used them for an experiment?!!

Hearing the anger in Gongons voice, Junhyuk winced. If the hydra had been made from human body parts, he wouldve been just as angry. Gongons emotions were understandable.

Junhyuk, I cant join you. Please, kill it.

I will.

Elise contacted him then, There are monsters appearing from the other tears as we speak. Ill show you.

Junhyuk looked at a feed of a dinosaur that was flying through the sky.

Is that also a chimera?

They combined a drake with a wyvern. That monster is powerful. It has the physical resistance of the drake, and because of the wyvern, it can also breathe fire. The combination should synergize really well.

What about the decomposition compound?

Its not completely useless, but those monsters are massive, so the compounding isnt entirely working. Itll be a long fight.

Junhyuk knew he had to deal with the hydra immediately. The black head was opening its mouth now. Noticing that the hydras heart was pulsing stronger, Junhyuk realized that the head was going to release a breath.

Get out of the way! he shouted quickly.

Junhyuk raised his force field around the hydra right as the black head spewed an acid breath. The force field contained the breath.

Looking at the hydra, Junhyuk came to the conclusion that he was strong enough to take it down. Right as he extended his hand, he heard Elise yell, What did you say!?

What happened?

Guardians HQ is under attack.

From whom?

They seem to be powered people, but they arent using items we crafted, so they are not affiliated with Guardians.

First, the monster wave. Now, this?! Someone mustve lost their minds!

Kill the hydra first!

Junhyuk had to hurry and bring the monster down.

Eunseo is still there, Elise said.

Junhyuk scowled. He had forgotten. Eunseo was a novice, so she wasnt participating in the fight against the waves. She was responsible for everything, but now, she was in danger.

Junhyuk triggered a Spatial Collapse on the hydra. On Earth, the Spatial Collapse interfered with multiple dimensions at once. He set it on the hydras heart, but the hydra reacted, moving sideways, and the collapse did not hit it. However, the dimensional decay hit the hydras side. As that slice of the dimension died, everything was sucked toward it. It was different from a spatial decay. The hydra roared and screamed from the agony.

Roooaaaaaaaar!

While the hydra was lost to the pain, Sarang used her Thunderstorm. The hydra was still encased in Junhyuks force field as it was sucked by the dimensional decay, so the thunderbolts slammed against the blue head.

Craaack!

However, Sarang had picked the wrong head to attack. The blue head received no serious injurious from her power.

Elise summoned Zaira, who attacked. The hydra was powered by core energy, but so was Zaira. The gynoid fired a laser.

The attack was more effective than Sarangs Thunderstorm, and the black head lost its lower jaw because of it.

The hydra roared again, and Junhyuk used his Dimensional Slash this time. He wanted to slice through the hydras heart, but the monster reacted again.

The hydra could read through Junhyuks dimensional attacks. While he didnt manage to cut through its heart, Junhyuk lopped off the hydras green head.

Junhyuk smacked his lips. The situation wasnt that back. The hydras side as exposed due to the decay, and it had lost a head and a jaw.

Before the force field disappeared, Elise summoned Moon Core, firing a large beam toward the hydra.

Boom!

The monster turned away from the beam, but it lost one of its wings. The heroes had all attacked it, but they had failed to kill it. They needed more time.

The hydras remaining heads all opened their mouths at once. The four heads were about to use their breaths at the same time. Junhyuk scowled at the sight, but Elise grabbed his arm and said, Ill use my nullification field.

He took hold of her and teleported. Both of them appeared really close to the hydra, and Elise activated her field. The flow of core energy coming from the hydras heart suddenly stopped.

The hydra couldnt use any breaths now. Junhyuk was elated to know that and raised his sword. At the same time, the hydra swung its tail. Inside the nullification field, neither of them could use powers.

There were 150 tears around the world, and Guardians had sent all available experts and champions to deal with them. It was Friday, so only 80 percent of the powered people were actually active.

Aside from those under abnormal narcolepsy, all powered people had been deployed.

There were people attacking Guardians HQ, but the people at the facility werent worried since there were R-agents and iron soldiers still on site. Most of the iron soldiers had been deployed, but there were still three stationed at HQ.

However, that wasnt enough for the threat that had befallen them. There were two hundred experts attacking Guardians HQ. The experts were not beyond the reach of humanity, but they all had two powers, and because of that, they could be lethal.

The iron soldiers and R-agents went out to meet them, but they were no match for the experts. The agents fell one by one, and the iron soldiers were destroyed. Eunseo bit her lip as she watched a feed of the battle.

She was a powered person herself, and her items were better than most, but she was alone.

She walked outside and saw the agents blocking the entrance with desks, taking cover behind them and aiming at the door.

Eunseo collected herself and looked at the door. The CCTV feed showed that the enemy would soon breach the building.

The door to her office started to freeze, turning white. It shattered, and Eunseo was able to see the outside.

The agents pulled the triggers.

Rat-at-at-at-tat!

Outside, a green membrane blocked the incoming fire. It was a type of force field, and she knew that the agents would be able to pierce through it.

There were battles being waged in other places. Only five people arrived where she was. They had to be on special assignment. One could freeze things, and the other had a force field of sorts.

They all looked quite skilled. None of them seemed like regular powered people. Some of them had military backgrounds.

They were after her, and their powers were outstanding.

At that moment, Eunseo realized why Junhyuk wanted to maintain control over the powered people. If people like that teamed up to commit crimes, there would be nothing anyone would be able to do.

There were five of them. One man raised his hand and stepped toward her. From behind the field, seventeen arrows appeared in the air. That was three times the amount of R-agents in her office.

The arrows shot out, and Eunseo quickly summoned her items.

Thuck, thuck, thuck!

Two arrows struck her, but they didnt deal a lot of damage. Her items were the same as the ones distributed to the champions. They were very powerful.

While Eunseo withstood the attack, the R-agents were hit, and none of them were moving.

The five of them approached her, and one said, We should kill her.

Right. The reward for her head is $100,000.

Eunseo bit her lip. She had already contacted the police and the military, but they hadnt gotten there yet.

She took a step forward, and suddenly, a robot appeared. It wasnt like any iron soldier she had seen before.

It pointed at the enemies, and as the five experts all used their powers on it, five beams shot out of the robot, one for each expert.

The expert with the green force field was still waiting on the powers cooldown, and the others had no way to block the attack. All of them were pierced either through the head or the chest.

The robot turned to Eunseo and said, Should we go?

Are you an iron soldier?

My name is Ganesha. My master ordered me to rescue you.
