Legend of Legends 518 Battlefield Change 3

Fighting against them would be interesting.

"Is that all?"

[No. Once the tournament begins, the victory reward will increase.]

"By how much?"

[Every victory will pay out 1,000,000G.]

Junhyuk scratched his chin and said, "Interesting. What about the Champions' Battlefield?"

[There are no changes to the Champions' Battlefield.]

"OK." Junhyuk smiled and asked, "When does the tournament start? In two weeks?"

[No. The decision to hold the tournament has just been made, so it will take a month for it to begin.]

"Right." Junhyuk could understand that. "Should I place both of my bets to the Champions' Battlefield now?"

[You can bet once now and bet again after the next Champions' Battlefield.]

"I'll bet 300,000G on Ling Ling's team."

[Sure. Your 300,000G bet on Ling Ling's team has been placed.]

Junhyuk didn't think a month was that long. Once the tournament began, the fighting would be more ferocious.

At that moment, something popped in his mind, "Can I use the dimensional merchant now?"

[Not right now. You are receiving your reward and acquiring new information. This is not the Dimensional Battlefield.]

"Really?"

The room was entirely different from the Dimensional Battlefield spawn room. He nodded and asked, "So, I can't use the merchant for a month?"

After thinking for a moment, Ariel said, [I can always ask Bebe for what you want. Do you want me to?]

"That's possible? You can do that for me?"

Junhyuk had a reason to visit Bebe. He had to do things before the tournament began while Elise would do the rest within that month.

He wanted to by a synthesis material to make her stronger. He wanted her buffs to be stronger. If he managed to buff the entire allied team, and if her buffs had more stat bonuses, the team as a whole would be much stronger.

If that were the case, the allies would be able to fight the legend teams.

Junhyuk put the request in with Ariel. He, himself, had a lot to prepare in that month. Junhyuk wasn't interested in the tournament, but if he won, he would be able to fight legends. The allies weren't ready for it. Their team was somewhat incomplete.

Junhyuk need to finish the work on his swordsmanship, so he would contact Artlan right away.

[Then, I'll see you when you come for the viewing.]

"Right, see you later."

Junhyuk got back to Earth and saw Sarang and Elise, immediately telling them about the news.

"Did you hear about the tournament?"

"I heard," Sarang replied with a nod, and Junhyuk turned to Elise.

"I put a request for Bebe for before the tournament. We can increase our strength if you can get more synthesis materials."

Even with just another buff monster synthesis material, Elise was already a top-tier buffer. Junhyuk wanted her to get stronger.

She smiled at him and said, "I have a favor to ask as well."

"What favor?"

"I want to install a core in Zaira. Is that possible?"

"Of course!

If Zaira became stronger, Elise would become stronger, so Junhyuk agreed immediately. He had earned a lot of gold because of here, so one core wouldn't be a problem.

"We have two weeks to prepare."

Eltor had been put on notice for two weeks, so the allies should use that free time wisely. They could train all they wanted, and that was a good thing.

He added, "We should try to become stronger for the Dimensional Battlefield rather than for Earth during that time."

Earth had four heroes now and many more experts, and thanks to the waves, humans had access to good equipment.

If Artlan's team crossed over to kill the human heroes, for example, there would be nothing they would be able to do about it, so Junhyuk hoped that something like that wouldn't happen.

"Sure! I'll need to upgrade Zaira and evolve my buff power. I'll need synthesis items for that second part."

"You should upgrade Zaira, but don't forget to work on your nullification field as well."

Elise understood that. The nullification field was strong, but there were too many limitations to it. Still, it was a power of the highest rank.

After talking to Elise, he turned to Sarang.

"I don't know how to help you out."

"Are you inviting Vera to the facility again?"

"Yes."

"Then, I'll learn more about magic from her."

"We should also have you see Bebe for something else."

"For what?"

"I realized it while fighting Aktur. We need more hit chance runestones. We'll need to fight legend teams, but with our hit chance as low as it is, we might lose from not being able to attack them."

Sarang nodded and replied, "I understand."

"That includes me."

"Yes. Elise, you have nice items now, but you should get more runestones as well."

Elise to a moment to think before saying, "I will. I'll upgrade Zaira and use the materials we still have to make more items."

They had earned a lot of gold just by killing that single dragon. They had invested a lot into crafting, but they had already made that investment back and many times over. Junhyuk was very happy that Elise was on his team.

"Let's start right away. When Eunseo wakes up, I'll explain the situation to her."

"I should be going," Elise said, leaving for her lab quickly.

He turned to Sarang and said, "We finished the battle without you."

"Hm… You did fine without me."

"That's not true. We could've used you there."

"Now you know just how precious I am."

"Right. If you had been there, I wouldn't have been so scared."

Sarang's powers were special. She had the Thunderstorm. Her electric blasts paralyzed the enemy, and she could heal. On top of that, she had a state of invulnerability near death.

Junhyuk caressed her head and said, "We'll do fine. We just need better items."

HIs team had problems. They lacked a full on wall of a tank. Junhyuk and Gongon had health and defense like tanks, but they weren't tanks. Tanks could taunt on top of having the best defensive powers, and none of them could do that.

While the enemies focused on the tank, the rest of the allies could attack the enemy, so without a true tank, they were placed in an uncomfortable situation.

Junhyuk couldn't recruit a tank now. They would have to come up with other combinations of their powers to go up against their enemies.

"We have to learn everything we can about our enemies as soon as possible."

Up until that point, he was fighting the same enemies as the previous round, but now, he would be fighting a different team each time.

"Our team will be enough."

Junhyuk smiled at her and replied, "Right. It's a good opportunity."

It was possible that his team would come up against Artlan's team in the finals, before they had to fight the legend team.

Junhyuk sent Sarang away and went to see Eunseo. She was still asleep in her office, so he teleported there and saw her under piles of paperwork.

She had been working when she was summoned.

It wouldn't be a good thing if her workers found her in that state, afflicted by abnormal narcolepsy. She was Guardians' CEO, the decision maker for Earth's defense, and people might panic if they knew.

Junhyuk sat in front of her. It would take her close to an hour before she woke up. He closed his eyes.

The Mantis Lord had helped him. His wild swordsmanship wasn't just fast. Just being fast wouldn't mean anything against Artlan. The goal was to restrict his opponent's speed.

Fighting the Mantis Lord had given him a clue about how to do it.

An hour passed while Junhyuk meditated on his battle against the Mantis Lord. Eunseo woke up and wiped the drool off her mouth.

This time, she hadn't prepared herself to be summoned. She could guess as to why he was there. He was preventing others from seeing her like that, so she smiled at him.

Eunseo stared at him. Junhyuk still had his eyes closed, but he said, "You are drilling a hole in my face."

"A hole?"

Junhyuk chuckled and opened his eyes. Their eyes met.

"I wanted to tell you some things."

"About what?" Eunseo asked while adjusting her glasses, and Junhyuk told her about the tournament.

"The format of the Dimensional Battlefield has changed into a tournament. Thirty-two teams will participate, and the winners will fight the previous legend team."

"That's unexpected."

"It's the best way to sort out the best."

"How can I help?"
