Chapter 571: Dimensional s.h.i.+ft 3
While flying across the sky with Gongon, Junhyuk asked, “By the way, how do I get back?”
Gongon laughed out loud and said, “You need to set your coordinates for Earth.”
“I don’t have those.”
Gongon told him to wait a moment and contacted someone. Elise appeared on one of the monitors. She greeted them both and asked, “Where are you?”
With a smirk, Gongon replied, “Junhyuk came to visit me in my dimension.”
“What?! Did you buy a dimensional s.h.i.+ft item?”
“No. His teleportation evolved to cross dimensions, so he came here on his own.”
“That’s so cool! Is that even possible?”
“This human isn’t a regular human.”
“Take me too!”
Junhyuk waved at her in denial and said, “I can’t yet.”
“Maybe later.”
“Sure!”
Gongon waved his hand to get her attention off the subject and said, “By the way, send me coordinates for Earth.”
“Coordinates?”
“He needs them to return.”
“Really? Will that generate a shockwave?”
“No. It was very quiet when he teleported here. Send me the coordinates.”
“Wait.”
Elise called out a set of coordinates, but it was a really long number. Gongon input the number into the bracelet, and suddenly, runic script floated in the air above the bracelet and seeped into it.
“Ah! I can’t read any of that!” Junhyuk said.
“I’ll explain,” Gongon replied.
“The most important thing is that I’m comfortable using it.” A new line appeared in the bracelet, and Junhyuk asked, “Is this the second set of coordinates?”
“That’s right. Think about where you are going, and you’ll be able to get there. You are moving between two points now, but you’ll need to focus more on what your doing once you have five sets of coordinates.”
“OK, but I need to get back now.”
“Already?!”
“Yeah. I had fun. Can you really build me a battles.h.i.+p?”
“Do you need a lair?”
“It looks cool.”
Gongon laughed and replied, “It would be hard, but I’ll think about it.”
Junhyuk nodded and attempted another dimensional s.h.i.+ft. He triggered Harmonizer to reach the dimensional wall, and the bracelet shone, allowing him to cross it. The light guided him, sucking him in.
Elise was there waiting for him.
“You really are able to cross dimensions.”
“You gave me the right coordinates. My teleportation might no longer have a distance limit, so maybe I can go anywhere on Earth.”
“That’s possible. You’ll need to be able to read coordinates for that.”
“Is that something I can learn?”
Elise’s eyes widened a little as she stared at him, but she shook her head and said, “It would be incredibly hard.”
“Yeah…”
“Can you travel to any dimension you have coordinates to?”
“I’m not sure, but I know I need them first.”
“I’ll look into that. I can create a device to give you Earth coordinates.”
“Is that possible?”
“Sure!”
JUnhyuk smiled and said, “Then, do as you please. With it, if they trigger another monster wave, I can get to it easily.”
“Sure. Will there be more monster waves?”
“I’m not sure. Nothing is certain.”
Elise nodded and said, “I’ll build the device.”
“Please.”
“Can you show me your bracelet. I want to figure out how it operates.”
Junhyuk gave her the bracelet and went back to his training facility. Not all of the amount of Harmonizer within him was under control yet, but even with what he could control, he could teleport through dimensions. He had had a good time in his excursion.
Junhyuk sat down and started polis.h.i.+ng his energy. He had enough energy to fill two cores, which was more than the Dragon Lord had.
He had more energy than Artlan, but he had to bring it all under his control.
—
Sarang was practicing high-speed casting. She had gotten an item from Bater’s team that increased her movement speed by a lot, so now, she was practicing casting while moving at full speed.
Hitting heroes with her lightning arrows wasn’t easy. If they focused on her, it was even more difficult.
She was having a hard time defending herself from regular attacks in the tournament, so she wanted to spar with someone. She needed someone on her level, so she invited Jeffrey.
Jeffrey thought he would be able to win easily because they weren’t under the restrictions of the Dimensional Battlefield.
However, the reality of it was completely different from what he had imagined. Sarang was faster than him. Jeffrey had also increased his movement speed, but not to the same extent.
Jeffrey blocked her arrows and summoned the Ghost White Tiger, launching himself toward her. Sarang cast an electric blast on him.
Jeffrey was paralyzed, so she shot him up with more arrows. Sarang wasn’t using her Thunderstorm on him. She had better items now, and the damage from that might kill him.
She could only cast Thunderstorm without worry on Junhyuk and Elise.
Jeffrey became very angry, so he tied her up with his dark energy and swung his scythe against her.
Slas.h.!.+
It was a critical hit, but Jeffrey was flabbergasted by the result. Sarang wasn’t injured at all.
Jeffrey buffed his Ghost White Tiger and attacked with it.
Boom!
The tiger slammed against her, throwing her back, but she had expected that. Sarang cast more arrows against him, but Jeffrey blocked them with his scythe and sent the tiger toward her.
Sarang smiled and she saw them split up and cast her Thunderstorm on the Ghost White Tiger.
Craaaaacck, boom!
Summons returned to their owners when they were seriously injured, and Jeffrey hadn’t expected that to happen.
Sarang cast the Thunderstorm on the tiger only, not on Jeffrey. The thunderbolts were extremely powerful now that she had upgraded her lightning attribute.
Sarang didn’t let Jeffrey close in on her, locking him far back under her attacks. Finally, Jeffrey stabbed the scythe into the ground and raised both of his hands in defeat.
“What did you do?”
“The only way we could spar was if we were limited in our attacks.”
“I’m talking about your damage! How is that even possible?!”
Sarang had upgraded her items to +15. She was a damager, so she had to focus on it. A +15 weapon was like a natural disaster for Jeffrey. On top of it, her weapon had been crafted out of a red dragon’s heart. She had thought about selling it to Vera, but she ended up keeping it.
There was nothing Jeffrey could do.
Sarang smiled at him and said, “The tournament awards you a lot of gold for winning, so I upgraded my items.”
“I couldn’t damage you at all.”
Sarang had followed Junhyuk’s advice and also paid attention to her defensive items. Jeffrey couldn’t do anything against her.
Sarang had only used her lightning powers, but Jeffrey had given up all the same.
“Can we really train like this?”
“I’ll spar with anyone who doesn’t focus on long range attacks.”
“Does your enemy lack long range attacks?”
Sarang shook her head. Both Vera and Diane had long range attacks. Artlan could jump, and Halo could rush. Nudra had his kicks and the ability to rush in as well.
Sarang ultimate gave her invulnerability, and when it was active, she needed to be able to fight at close range.
The allies would attack Diane and Vera first.
Jeffrey was a good opponent, but Vera could move faster than Sarang. Now that Sarang had speed buff gear, she could move fast, but even Artlan was still faster.
Sarang healed Jeffrey and said, “We should rest.”
“Why don’t we call the champions here?”
“I can deal with you, but if you get help, I might lose.”
“It’ll be fine. It’ll help the champions grow.”
After some thought, Sarang said, “I’ll ask Junhyuk.”
Junhyuk just told her that he was busy and that he needed time to master the core energy within him, so Sarang agreed with Jeffrey and called the champions.
The champions were happy to spar with her. She shot them all up with arrows, and when they went back to their quarters, they all had tears on their faces.
Each of her arrows took half of a champion’s health away. With two hits, a champion could die, so they all went back without doing much.
The champions didn’t help her at all, so Sarang went to see Elise.
Elise was crafting a pair of goggles when she got there, so she asked, “What are those for?”
Elise raised a hand to keep her from talking and spent another twenty minutes on the goggles. At the end of those twenty minutes, Elise cheered aloud.
“Success!”
“What is it?”
“A coordinate-reading device.”
“Is that for teleportations? But, you can’t teleport.”
Elise smiled and called Junhyuk over. He appeared right away for her even though he hadn’t had time for Sarang before. Sarang was upset about this, but she listened to their conversation.
“You crossed over dimensions!?”
“Yes, and with this device, I can get to anywhere on Earth.”
“Take me.”
“Not yet.”
“You should try it. Take me too,” Elise said.
Junhyuk sighed, put on the goggles and grabbed them both by the hand.
“Egypt. Head of the Sphinx.”
The coordinates appeared on his goggles, and he teleported.
A light guided the way, and when Junhyuk reappeared, the surroundings had changed. They all looked around, shocked. They were atop the head of the Sphinx.
