Junhyuk only had two power, and both force field and spatial relocation had a cooldown time. That meant he couldn’t use any of his powers, but that didn’t mean the heroes would leave him alone.

Libya was in the air, and everyone attacked her, but they did not stop her from crashing into  Junhyuk. Even if the heroes attacked her, they couldn’t save him.

It couldn’t happen like that.

Libya started her descent into Junhyuk, and it was supposed to only take a moment, but that moment felt like a long time. 

A dangerous situation resulted in an increased thought concentration, and Sarang only thought that she had to stop Libya, even for just a moment, and her wish came true.

Sarang made an energy bolt, and it shone brightly and flew with lightning speed. The bolt moved so quickly that it felt like everything else had slowed down.

The lightning-speed energy bolt hit Libya dead on.

Boom!

Libya’s eyes widened as her body came to a sudden halt. Everywhere else, time moved normally, but Lybia’s time seemed to have stopped.

Artlan cut Libya’s wings, and Vera threw a fire orb at her. Libya was exploding, and five arrows flew in a row toward her.

The arrows hit her on the chest, and she dropped from the sky.

It all happened suddenly.

Time passed for her again again, and Sarang realized that her power had evolved with her last attack. Libya was dying, and her eyes darted at Sarang with hatred.

Sarang felt scared, but soon realized that she had saved Junhyuk. Minota was looking at Sarang.

“What is this?!”

Minota looked at the new novice and faced a dilemma. Should he kill her or leave?

Junhyuk walked over to the new novice, and said while shielding Sarang:

“Filthy ox, you failed!”

“What?!”

Minota rushed toward Junhyuk. Lybia’s death had shocked him, but his target was Junhyuk.

Artlan showed up in front of the charging Minota.

Bang!

Artlan bounced off, but he stopped Minota’s rush. Halo stabbed Minota, who had stopped completely, and Vera hit him with a fire spear.

Lastly, Diane’s arrow hit Minota with precision. Even he couldn’t stand the attacks, and his body started to disappear.

Junhyuk smiled at Minota. He had felt anxious because of that ox. If it weren’t for Sarang, Junhyuk would surely be dead.

Junhyuk threw the longsword he was holding. The sword flew like an arrow and struck the middle of Minota’s forehead.

Minota was disappearing, and the longsword was stuck to him. Minota’s eyes were filled with hatred, and Junhyuk lifted his hand slowly and proudly showed the ox his middle finger.

“Take this!”

Minota’s eyes were filled with even more hatred, and Artlan said:

“You stayed alive.”

Junhyuk looked at Sarang. Everyone looked at Sarang.

Sarang’s face reddened as the heroes looked at her. She didn’t even know what she had done.

Vera ran and gave her a big hug. Sarang’s face was buried in Vera’s chest, and Junhyuk looked at her and said:

“Did her power evolve?”

“That’s right. She is a novice now.”

Junhyuk looked at Artlan.

“What power is that?”

“She stopped her opponent. It’s not just restraining. No movement is possible, and it has to do with stopping time. Just like your force field, it’s a high ranking power.”

Junhyuk looked surprised, and Sarang smiled.

Artlan crossed his arms and murmured:

“That’s it! Humans have high ranking powers. This type of power activation is rare among all other races.”

“Right. No human has become a hero, but their activated powers are all high ranking.”

“Previously, did humans also activate high ranking powers?”

Vera had her elbows on Sarang’s head and answered:

“They were middle ranking, but that’s still significant.”

“You are right.” Artlan said and nodded. He looked at Junhyuk.

“Is this the third power?”

Junhyuk shook his head and asked:

“What do you mean?”

Vera placed her forehead against Sarang’s forehead.

“You said we summoned you, right?”

“Yes.”

“This battlefield allows five team members. You may also bring novices, but just five of them.”

Junhyuk understood what she meant.

“You don’t mean five novices, but five powers, correct?”

Artlan nodded.

“Right. Heroes must participate in the battle.”

“So, you mean other champions may accompany heroes?”

“Right. We are allowed to carry only extra five powers and, depending on the powers, they could change the course of the battles, like right now.”

“Then, can enemies also bring five powers?”

Artlan spoke calmly:

“For humans, those who have activated their powers are few in number. Instead, humans activate high ranking powers. However, the enemies are different. You met them before, right?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t know what they will bring this time, but you better be careful.”

“Caution and more caution is my motto.”

Artlan laughed and looked toward the North.

“This battle is almost over.”

Many heroes had died. The team battle would decide the winners and losers. Artlan looked at Junhyuk and Sarang. Vera was hugging Sarang and said:

“You can’t take Sarang.”

“It’s up to you, but you must train her so that she can use her power at will.”

“I will train her.”

“OK. Then, we will take down the watchtower and join Nudra.”

They all looked at the watchtower. Junhyuk turned to look at Sarang.

“Thanks.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Sarang was pleased that she had saved Junhyuk and become a novice. They would stay together.

Junhyuk asked Sarang:

“Should we help them?”

“Yes.”

The watchtower was being destroyed by four heroes. There was nothing they could do to help, but Junhyuk said:

“Hurry up.”

“Yes.”

The group moved to join Nudra, and Junhyuk and Sarang walked next to the heroes, but soon, Vera grabbed Sarang. If she wanted to use her power at will, Vera needed to train her.

Junhyuk walked next to Artlan and looked him over. Artlan frowned and said:

“If you have something to say, say it.”

“I want to learn dual-wield swordsmanship.”

“Dual-wield swordsmanship?”

Artlan took out his sabers while walking, swung them and said: 

“It’s not like you are carrying a shield and a sword. Dual-wield swordsmanship requires skill. First, you have to be skilled in attack and defense. The left hand may be on defense or the right hand may be on defense, and both can follow up an attack. Defensive power and continuous attacks are the things that overcome your enemies.”

Artlan swung his saber, and Junhyuk swung his longsword. Artlan said:

“I will teach you the basics of dual-wield swordsmanship, but my saber is used for slashing, and it’s different from your longsword.”

“I know.”

“So, you should learn on your own.”

Junhyuk nodded and swung his longsword repeatedly. Defense and attack. Continuous attacks. Right and left hands went on defense, then on offense.

His flow was very awkward. Junhyuk had complete control over his muscles, but it was still awkward.

Artlan showed him how to swing. It was for slashing, but it looked very natural.

All of his movements were straightforward, but if one had to block those movements, that person would end up dead.

Junhyuk mimicked the movements, but very awkwardly. Artlan showed him a few more swings and said:

“It takes more than a day or two.”

“I know.”

Junhyuk knew Artlan completed his swordsmanship on the battlefield, and it would take more than one lesson, but he was excited to learn.

“Speed up,” Artlan said.

After he spoke, Artlan began running, and Junhyuk ran while swinging his swords. The group moved quickly.

They joined Nudra and looked over to the enemy camp.

“They are all there.”

The five of them were in one place. It’s was time for the team battle, and the enemy was also aware of that.

Junhyuk scoped out the enemy heroes who were aiming for him.

Ellic had his hammer on his shoulder and was laughing at Junhyuk, and, behind him, Minota was snorting. Skia was tapping Skia’s neck with a dagger.

Warren was still angry with him, but was not targeting him. He was fixated on Artlan.

Junhyuk looked for Libya. Her eyes were set on Sarang, and Junhyuk stood in front of her.

Artlan told him:

“They brought novices.”

He noticed two novices among the enemies.

They knew about the enemy heroes’ powers, but the novices were different. They didn’t know anything and had to be careful.

“Power is important, but it’s more important to know how and when to use that power.”

Junhyuk nodded heavily. He, himself, thought about the timing of his powers. He might not even have the chance to use his own powers.

Vera grabbed Sarang by her shoulder and said:

“Your power is still irregular. So, stay behind.”

“Yes.”

Sarang nodded heavily, and Vera stepped forward and asked:

“What shall we do?”

“We fight.”

Artlan took a step forward, pulled out a saber and said:

“Let’s begin!”

Artlan shouted and ran toward the enemy camp. They’d been working together for a long time. Artlan ran and Halo and Nudra followed him, while Vera and Diane prepared their attacks.

Junhyuk held his swords and stood in front of Sarang. The enemy heroes’ attention was fixed on him, and he did not feel relaxed.

The other novices took the minions and started running at the front.

Even if they stopped all enemy heroes, they still had to stop the enemy novices and they didn’t know what their powers were. The mysterious novices ran toward him, and Junhyuk shouted:

“Pick up your shields!”

The minions lifted their shields. There were twenty allied minions, one expert and one irregular novice. The enemy had forty minions and two novices. 

Junhyuk looked at them coldly and gripped his swords.

It didn’t matter what powers they had. At the end, it would be him left standing.
