Legend of Legends

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?”

“I’ve 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 would’ve been destroyed. The explosion was that big.

Eunseo was stunned, but Sarang smirked and said, “You’ve just made hellfire.”

“That’s hellfire?!”

“Hellfire can destroy castles with single explosion. You could’ve 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 Elise’s voice.

“Everyone, come inside. I’m about to use the Spatial Collapse Cannon.”

Both of them went inside, and Elise smiled at them and said, “I’m 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, I’ll 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, “I’ll 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 don’t have to worry anymore.”

It seemed like he wouldn’t have to interfere anymore. If he hadn’t participated, it would’ve taken five times as long, but Earth would’ve 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. That’s 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 I’ll be busy.”

“But you’ve completed Battleship Elise.”

She nodded and said, “Our next battle will be against legends, so I’ll 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 Elise’s lab. There, Junhyuk turned to Gongon and asked, “Are you going back?”

“Yes.”

He grabbed Gongon’s hand, turned to the others and said, “I’ll be back.”

“Sure. I’ll get ready,” Elise answered.

Junhyuk used his Dimensional Shift with Gongon, and they reappeared at Gongon’s lair.

Gongon laughed and said, “I heard you went to Artlan’s dimension.”

“I drank a lot, and we sparred.”

“Did you win?”

“Not yet.”

Without an answer for the sixth sense, he couldn’t 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 won’t be easy.”

Nudra was really strong, and Junhyuk knew that.

Gongon replied with a smirke, “I’ll still try.”

Junhyuk patted Gongon’s shoulder. Gongon would probably defeat Nudra someday.

“I’ll 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 didn’t hold back against Elise and her Moon Core. When his blade pointed at her neck, Elise’s eyes widened as she stared at him.

“What happened?”

“I sparred with Artlan. I think Moon Core’s response time is slow.”

Elise smiled and say, “That’s 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 must’ve 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, “You’ll fight the legend’s team.”

“That’s 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, you’ll 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 don’t have our own sets.”

Agenchra smiled and said, “That’s why I’m here. When you defeat the legends, I’ll grant your wish, but as far as the other benefit...”

“Yeah?”

“I’ll make your items a set of your own.”

“That’s 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, you’ll lose the original set bonuses you’ve 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 won’t be able to choose them. The set will adjust to your battle style.”

“That’s good.”

Agenchra raised his notebook, tore a page from it and threw it in the air. All of Junhyuk’s items appeared in the air as holograms.

Each item was summoned to fill the holograms—Junhyuk hadn’t summoned them—and 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 didn’t change, but their shape and the set effects did.
