Chapter 589: Elise’s Masterpiece 2
A tear appeared above Seoul, but Battleship Elise was hovering nearby. Inside the cockpit of the ship, Eunseo had joined Elise, Sarang and Gongon.
Elise asked Sarang, You want to try yours first?
Of course!
Sarang turned to Eunseo and asked, Do you want to go out with me?
Eunseo nodded, so the two went out on the deck.
Have you tried it?
Ive read the instructions, but actual combat is making me nervous.
Eunseo pulled out the rifle and aimed it at the Dimensional Tear.
Have you selected the spell?
Eunseo nodded and gathered her breath. The chimeras were starting to come out of the tear, and this time, they were three-headed wyverns.
Make sure that the explosion takes place within the tear.
Eunseo pulled the trigger, and a tiny fire orb was shot at the tear. The fire orb struck a wyvern.
Boom!
There was a massive explosion, but it was contained within the tear. Otherwise, Seoul wouldve been destroyed. The explosion was that big.
Eunseo was stunned, but Sarang smirked and said, Youve just made hellfire.
Thats hellfire?!
Hellfire can destroy castles with single explosion. You couldve destroyed all of downtown. Eunseo stared at her, and Sarang explained more calmly, While you are using the rifle, a magic circle will protect you. It works for both defense and offense.
Can I really take this from you?
You deserve it.
It was a present for Eunseo, who had been hard at work at Guardians since its inception. Eunseo was just as important as Elise for Earth.
While Eunseo was smiling, they heard Elises voice.
Everyone, come inside. Im about to use the Spatial Collapse Cannon.
Both of them went inside, and Elise smiled at them and said, Im finally using the Spatial Collapse Cannon. The long wait is over. Countdown. Five, four, three, two, one. Elise looked at a monitor and announced, Zero!
When she announced that, the cannon fired. The mouth of the cannon was at the front of the ship, and a gigantic beam exited from it.
The surrounding air got sucked in by the beam as it flew toward the tear. After impact, the tear collapsed within itself and disappeared.
Sarang said, No human can survive that.
You can say the same about that hellfire.
Sarang smiled and asked, Where to next?
Tokyo.
Elise selected the coordinates, and Battleship teleported to the skies above Tokyo. There were already a number of chimeras out of the tear, but Elise readied another cannon shot and said, Sarang, Ill take care of things here. Head somewhere else.
Sure.
While Sarang was selecting a new set of coordinates, Eunseo ask, Should I stay here?
Elise looked at her and said, Right now, this is the second safest place on Earth. The other is next to Junhyuk.
Eunseo adjusted her glasses and said, Then, I should help.
She pulled out her rifle, but Elise smiled at her and said, Ill deal with it this time. Watch.
Battleship Elise had other weapons too, and the chimeras were unable to survive the other attacks from it. Eunseo did not have to interfere.
With the help of Battleship Elise, Junhyuk was able to close the tears much faster than before. It still took a while though.
When he watched the video of Battleship Elise and Eunseo at work, he was astonished.
I dont have to worry anymore.
It seemed like he wouldnt have to interfere anymore. If he hadnt participated, it wouldve taken five times as long, but Earth wouldve still been safe.
Looking at Eunseo, he asked, How many dead and wounded?
The number of casualties is much lower than last time. We also got another twenty experts and two champions.
More champions. Thats really good.
With more champions, there was a greater chance of more heroes. Junhyuk stretched and said, We should give them new equipment.
Elise nodded and said, I need to research the chimera, so Ill be busy.
But youve completed Battleship Elise.
She nodded and said, Our next battle will be against legends, so Ill need to upgrade Moon Core and spar.
Junhyuk nodded in agreement. His sparring sessions with Artlan had increased his skills. The legends were really strong, so it was a good idea to upgrade Moon Core.
Are you going to your lab?
Elise nodded and replied, I need to put the ship back.
Once Battleship Elise was back in Guardians basement, Junhyuk took the group and teleported. They were all back at Elises lab. There, Junhyuk turned to Gongon and asked, Are you going back?
Yes.
He grabbed Gongons hand, turned to the others and said, Ill be back.
Sure. Ill get ready, Elise answered.
Junhyuk used his Dimensional Shift with Gongon, and they reappeared at Gongons lair.
Gongon laughed and said, I heard you went to Artlans dimension.
I drank a lot, and we sparred.
Did you win?
Not yet.
Without an answer for the sixth sense, he couldnt defeat Artlan, but Gongon smirked and said, The day will come when I can defeat Nudra.
You want to defeat Nudra?
Yes.
Junhyuk laughed hard and said, Do you really need to? You are from different species.
A dragon and a human. The two were different species, and it was funny for him to imagine Gongon transformed trying to defeat Nudra. Junhyuk shook his head, but Gongon laughed and said, Dragons strive to perfection.
Junhyuk laughed even harder, saying, It wont be easy.
Nudra was really strong, and Junhyuk knew that.
Gongon replied with a smirke, Ill still try.
Junhyuk patted Gongons shoulder. Gongon would probably defeat Nudra someday.
Ill head back.
OK.
Junhyuk said goodbye and used his Dimensional Shift. Once he was back with Elise, he asked, Are you ready?
I am.
He didnt hold back against Elise and her Moon Core. When his blade pointed at her neck, Elises eyes widened as she stared at him.
What happened?
I sparred with Artlan. I think Moon Cores response time is slow.
Elise smiled and say, Thats nuts. Wait a sec.
She pulled up her tablet and pounded on her keyboard. She was fixing the problems. Elise could make him swing even more times, but things were still easier for Junhyuk this time around.
Elise told him that should would make some more upgrades, so Junhyuk nodded and went back to his training facility.
He summoned his swords and went over his sparring sessions with Artlan, thinking about how to overcome the sixth sense.
Suddenly, he felt something and turned to look. A tear appeared, and Agenchra walked through it.
Agenchra took his fedora off and bowed to him, asking, How have you been?
What do you think?
Agenchra shook his head, and Junhyuk laughed.
You mustve been busy.
Yes, I have been really busy.
New heroes?
Earth has more champions, and I needed to have them all sign contracts.
I thought you were a team leader.
I need to lead by example.
Junhyuk laughed and stared at Agenchra, asking, What brings you here?
Agenchra smiled back and said, Youll fight the legends team.
Thats right.
Agenchra opened his notebook and said, The legends tournament just ended.
Yeah? Who won?
The last team to become legends.
Yeah?
They had better items than the older teams.
They are really strong.
Items were a secondary consideration. Their powers were amazing to begin with.
Your team has won your tournament, so now, youll fight those legends.
Junhyuk scratched his chin. His team was strong, but the legends had enormous set effect boosts. He frowned and said, Look, we might lose.
From what perspective?
The wish granted was the second objective to becoming legends, but we dont have our own sets.
Agenchra smiled and said, Thats why Im here. When you defeat the legends, Ill grant your wish, but as far as the other benefit
Yeah?
Ill make your items a set of your own.
Thats for everyone on my team?
Yes.
Junhyuk smiled and asked, Did you come to me first?
Agenchra nodded and replied, When I make your set, youll lose the original set bonuses youve been using.
Of course, that was the case, and Junhyuk knew that. He scratched his chin and said, OK. Give me the effect options.
Agenchra laughed at him and replied, You wont be able to choose them. The set will adjust to your battle style.
Thats good.
Agenchra raised his notebook, tore a page from it and threw it in the air. All of Junhyuks items appeared in the air as holograms.
Each item was summoned to fill the hologramsJunhyuk hadnt summoned themand they all shone brightly.
A bright light covered his entire body, and the items were grouped into one set, changing shape to fit more appropriately. The items stats didnt change, but their shape and the set effects did.
