Chapter 588: Elise’s Masterpiece 1
Elise called for him, so Junhyuk went to see her. He had to give her another core. Junhyuk didnt ask her what she needed it for, and Elise simply told him to expect her great things and left.
Junhyuk went to his training facility. There, he practiced his sword swing while thing about his duels with Artlan. Junhyuk acknowledged Artlans talent. With his sixth sense and his natural talent, getting an attack on Artlan wasnt an easy thing. Artlan could dodge his Dimensional Slash, a skill that equaled perfect defense powers.
Junhyuk had to be able to hit Artlan when Artlan wasnt using his sixth sense, or he had to attack so fast that Artlan wouldnt be able to dodge it. To do that, he needed to find a way to stop time. Otherwise, it wouldnt be possible.
He spent his time thinking about how to overcome Artlans sixth sense. Hard work wouldnt overcome that amount of natural talent.
He spent a long time thinking before Elise contacted him and said, The dimensional tears will trigger in an hour.
Junhyuk had lost track of time, but expecting that, Elise decided to warn him.
He teleported back to her lab and saw Elise and Gongon standing there. He smiled at Gongon and asked, You havent gone back?
You have to take me back. I cant do it alone.
Junhyuk patted Gongons head and said, Right. If you are bored, you should help us.
Ill just watch?
Just watch?
I cant close the tears anyway.
Junhyuk chuckled and stretched, saying, Ill run around and stop them.
I heard you closed all the tears last time.
Thats right.
This time, things will be different.
Junhyuk became curious about Gongons remark, and the dragon turned to Elise, who said, The battleship is finished. Its called Elise.
Can I see it?
Thats why I called you.
She smiled at him and showed him her tablet screen.
With a loud noise, the whole lab started shaking. Junhyuk went outside and saw the grounds outside the lab open and something rise from the opening.
It was huge. It was three hundred meters in length and it was covered in weapons.
How many people can get on it?
Not many. It has its own AI, so theres no need for manpower.
The ship was floating in midair, astonishing Junhyuk.
Ill help with the monsters.
I didnt use the decomposition compound, but the lasers use core energy to fire.
Good thinking.
It has one more secret weapon.
A secret weapon?
It can teleport.
Junhyuks eyes widened, and Gongon smirked.
You can input coordinates. The teleportations require a huge amount of energy, which was why we needed the core.
Does that mean it can shift through dimensions?
Not that, Gongon said. But dont worry too much. You can carry it over through your Dimensional Shift.
I can take it with me?
Would that be too difficult?
Its three hundred meters long!
Gongon shrugged and said, Then, youll need to buy a large Spatial Bag.
How large?
One with a radius of at least fifty meters.
The cost of that would be astronomical!
Yeah? I can build you a private lair if you do.
Junhyuk was enticed by the prospect. With a new Spatial bag, he would be able to take his private lair to other dimensions.
He nodded and said, Ill think about it. After we fight the legends team, I wont need the gold, so Ill get the Spatial Bag then.
You do that. Gongon smiled and said, Look at this battleships main cannon.
Junhyuk looked at it. There was a hole at the front of the battleship. It was a massive hole, and he thought it was part of the ship.
Thats a cannon?!
Thats right. Thats why I built the battleship, Elise said.
It can be used for taking down large monsters.
A beam from that cannon would deal tremendous damage. Most large monsters would be killed instantly.
Gogon smirked and gave Elise a little kick, saying, You tell him.
Can I? Elise coughed and explained, The main cannons name is Spatial Collapse Cannon.
Spatial Collapse Cannon?!
Elise nodded and said, The core energy can create a dimensional tear. I had to get Veras help. Shes the one who knows the most about dimensional magic. We created the Spatial Collapse Cannon so that it can close dimensional tears.
Is that possible?!
The cannon takes two cores to operate.
With two cores, it could certainly close dimensional tears.
You built it?
Elise smirked at him and said, After the first Spatial Collapse shot, therell be a five-minute recharge time. Itll be slower than you in closing tears.
Thats fine. It cuts my work down by 20 percent.
Elise nodded and said, I wanted to help. She hugged Gongon and added, Without Gongon and Vera, this ship wouldnt have been possible.
Why am I just Gongon?
Should I call you Mr. Gongon?
No. That makes me sound old.
Sarang contacted him then, so Junhyuk went to see her. She grabbed her rifle and teleported back with him. When Gongon saw the rifle, his eyes widened, and he asked, What did you make?
Its a magical artifact. You only have to pull the trigger, so its most definitely not for public use.
Are you going to use it?
No. Sarang smiled and added, Ill give it to Eunseo. I can cast spells of my own.
Thats good thinking.
Junhyuk and Sarang went to see Eunseo, who was getting ready for the monster waves. There were a lot of monitors with different feeds surrounding her.
She looked at him and Sarang when they appeared, and Sarang handed her the rifle.
Big sister, this is for you.
Eunseo took the rifle, and Sarang pulled out an orb and chanted a spell. A blue light tied Eunseo to the rifle, and a chain bounded them with runic language. Then, the blue light disappeared.
Eunseo found some strange engravings on her hand and looked at the rifle. The engravings were the same as those on the rifle.
Sarang handed Eunseo a book and said, This is the manual for how to use it.
It was a thin booklet. Leafing through it, Eunseo asked, I can use magic?
Yes. You wont be able to use the rifle in the Dimensional Battlefield, but you should get it engraved there.
I can really take this?
Of course!
Thank you.
The rifle did not need mana, and it would shoot off magic. It would come in handy when killing monsters. Eunseo wouldnt be in danger anymore.
You should have made a pistol. That wouldve been easier to carry.
With the rifle, the magic will be stronger.
Junhyuk nodded with understanding.
Youve worked hard.
Sarang smiled and said, I used the entire core, and I cant make more without more cores.
It was a superior weapon, but mass production wasnt possible. It was definitely a nice artifact.
Junhyuk caressed her head, and Sarang gave him a tight hug. Eunseos eyes turned cold, and Junhyuk pushed Sarang away, saying, Well head out to deal with the monster waves.
Sure.
Junhyuk and Sarang teleported back to Elises lab, and Sarang pouted, asking, Did you have to push me away?
Junhyuk patted her head and said, Have you seen Elises ship?
Elises ship?
Sarang hadnt seen it yet, so Juhyuk teleported with her again. The three-hundred-meter battleship was floating above the ground.
When she saw it, Sarang gasped.
Elise, you built this?
Elise had built an entire battleship while Sarang had built a rifle, but Elise shook her head and said, Gongon and Vera helped me.
But you built it.
Sarang was stunned, and Junhyuk smiled and said, Youll see it in action soon.
Elise turned to Sarang and asked, Can you cast teleportation spells?
I can with coordinates.
Elise handed Sarang a pair of goggles and said, Wear these, and youll get your coordinates.
Yeah? I cant close tears though.
But youll save novices and experts from dying.
Sarang nodded and put the goggles on.
At that moment, Elise said, Its time. The dimensional tears are starting to appear.
How many?
Twelve hundred of them.
Well move faster this time. Where is the largest one?
Sydney, Australia.
Ill go.
Seoul has the second biggest tear, so Battleship Elise will stay here.
Seoul?
Sarang, Eunseo and I can close it.
Junhyuk smiled and said, Then, Im off.
He teleported to the Sydney Harbor Bridge. The tear would appear soon, so he summoned his swords and looked up at the sky.
As soon as the tear appeared, Junhyuk used his Dimensional Slash against it. Instead of growing further, it closed.
Thats one.
He teleported again.
