Junhyuk stepped forward and said, “Deal with the twin-headed ogre to your left. I’ll deal with the rest.”

He didn’t sound like he was joking, and everyone felt his strength. Two twin-headed ogres were running toward them, and he ran to his right. He was still wielding the Wolf Warlord claw swords, but his swordsmanship was entirely different from the rest of them.

The experts’ team knew that he had to have good equipment, so they did not worry about him, going forward into their own battle.

Peyton took the lead. He raised a wall behind the twin-headed ogre, blocking the wolves from interfering with them. He also used his second power on the ogre’s feet, and the twin-headed ogre sunk knee deep into the ground.

The ogre was surprised that it was stuck and couldn’t move. Meanwhile, Ling Ling sent a wind blade toward it. The wind blade moved horizontally in the air toward the ogre, and the ogre swung its massive tree trunk against it.

Crack!

The trunk snapped and got destroyed, and the wind blade inflicted a deep wound on both of the ogre’s arms, but it failed to slice either of them off.

Then, Aleksei rushed against the ogre like a tank, and the twin-headed ogre was stunned. Major Sean used his telekinetic bullets on the ogre’s head.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The five bullets hit the twin-headed ogre, and the ogre lost one of its heads.

At that moment, Aleksei flying knee-kicked the ogre. That was Aleksei’s second power, and it’s damage was high, but the twin-headed ogre blocked it with its hand. The hand was destroyed, but the ogre lived.

Taking the opportunity, the ogre slapped Aleksei as hard as it could with its second hand.

Boom!

Aleksei slammed against a wall, bouncing off of it, and Yonghong stepped forward. He stomped the ground hard, and the twin-headed ogre, which had been stuck to the ground, got launched up into the air.

Ling Ling cast her tornado, and the twin-headed ogre was getting thrown in circles inside of it. However, Ling Ling clicked her tongue watching it. The wind within the tornado wasn’t enough to kill the twin-headed ogre.

Ling Ling stepped on the rockwall and jumped, entering the tornado from above. The others couldn’t see inside of it, but it was her power, and she could enter. Inside the tornado, Ling Ling stabbed the ogre in the middle of its forehead with one of her swords. Considering how dense a twin-headed ogre’s skull was, the strength of a sword made out of a Wolf Warlord’s claw became obvious.

Boom!

The twin-headed ogre fell to the ground, and as Ling Ling landed, she looked for Junhyuk. Junhyuk had realized how strong she was, and he was suspicious of it. He thought she might already be a champion.

However, Ling Ling couldn’t find Junhyuk. Instead, she found the body of a twin-headed ogre with both of its heads gone.

She turned around, and Peyton walked to her and said, “He went over the wall.”

Behind the wall, there were over a hundred wolves. She had already seen him kill over thirty wolves in just three steps, but a hundred of them could be a problem.

Yonghong, who was standing next to her, murmured, “His attacks sweep through enemies within a certain range. Is that a power?”

Ling Ling shook her head.

“According to the analysis, he can teleport.”

“Right, but he can also do that.”

Then, the wall crumbled, and Junhyuk appeared standing among the wolves. Within five seconds, he had killed all of them. The experts wanted to know how he had done it, but now wasn’t the time for questions.

Junhyuk was looking far away, toward the Tokyo Tower. The others could only see the shape of the tower when they tried to look at what he was seeing. They all shook their heads. During their advance into that place, they had seen the tower crawling with monsters.

Suddenly, Junhyuk turned and shouted, “RUN!”

There was no politeness in his speech. There was no time for it.

Ling Ling was scared by his shout. That fear had saved her many times in the Dimensional Battlefield, and she was the first to respond, turning and running.

Yonghong followed Ling Ling. A few hesitated, but he shouted at them again, and they all started to run.

“An A-ranked monster is heading this way!”

Guardians had divided the monsters by levels. After the monster areas appeared, previously unimagined monsters had shown up in them, so Guardians had created a chart dividing monster according to their level of danger.

Guardians had called B-ranked monsters the most dangerous. The company had never gone up against an A-ranked monster.

However, the experts who had been to the Dimensional Battlefield knew about A-ranked monsters, buff monsters. Buff monsters were even dangerous to heroes.

They all knew of them and they ran faster.

Peyton ran, but he turned to look at Junhyuk, who was covering their rear. Four-meter tall wolves were running toward him. They were war wolves and they were using both hands and feet to run toward him. There were over thirty of them. Would he be able to fight them alone?

Peyton couldn’t decided, but Aleksei, who was injured, ran next to Peyton and said, “He can teleport out of there and escape!”

Peyton bit his lips and followed Aleksei.

—

Junhyuk waited until the teams had evacuated. He had killed all of the packs of wolves, and the Wolf Warlord was heading his way. All of the war wolves that had been on the Tokyo Tower were now here.

The war wolves were four meters tall. They were shorter than the twin-headed ogres, but considering their speed, they were more dangerous.

The Wolf Warlord was an A-ranked monster, and it could control the war wolves. Junhyuk had watched them come, holding tightly to his swords. His allies had already retreated.

He thought about why he had remained behind. He wanted to feel the dimensional tear and he thought that now was his chance to do it, as soon as he killed the monsters in front of him.

Junhyuk pulled out the Blood Rune Sword and the Frozen Rune Sword. He was now dealing with a genuine A-ranked monster and he wouldn’t be able to fight it with the claw swords.

He realized that the Wolf Warlord wasn’t among the war wolves. It was smarter than he had expected. The Wolf Warlord didn’t just fight its enemy, it lured them before attacking. Junhyuk thought it was a troublesome enemy.

He looked for the Wolf Warlord, but he could not find it. Considering its size, that didn’t make any sense. The Wolf Warlord had to be outside of Junhyuk’s spatial-sensing territory.

“It will come within range soon.”

Without worrying about it further, Junhyuk ran toward the war wolves. The Wolf Warlord was missing, and Junhyuk should be grateful for that. He meant to finish the war wolves before the Wolf Warlord showed up.

The war wolves came from all directions. Even though they were four meters tall, despite their size, they were fast, and those very fast wolves stepped over walls to attack him.

Junhyuk used the single-point explosion. He had gathered mana on the sword’s blade and swung it at them. A war wolf in front of him was hit, and a blood-colored energy circle expanded outward from it, sweeping through everything within a radius of ten meters.

The war wolves were torn asunder. Even dealing 60 percent of his total damage, B-ranked monsters couldn’t withstand it. The shockwave energy disappeared once it reached the ten-meter radius, and Junhyuk used another single-point explosion.

He had gathered mana on his blade again, jumped forward and sliced a war wolf in half. The shockwave swept through everything around him.

He had killed many wolves with just those two hits, and only twenty remained. However, he could still not sense the Wolf Warlord’s presence, so he shrugged.

“Come after I kill them all.”

He had gathered mana on his sword again when, suddenly, he sensed something from outside of his attacks’ range. The Wolf Warlord could measure Junhyuk sensing distance, and Junhyuk hadn’t known it could do that.

It jumped toward him. The Wolf Warlord was ten meters tall, and the jump scared and surprised Junhyuk a little. Junhyuk had to use the mana energy against it now. Otherwise, he would be killed.

If he used the mana energy now, he would have to fight the Wolf Warlord head on.

Junhyuk decided to trust himself. He hit the Wolf Warlord’s head with his sword, generating a shockwave, and the Wolf Warlord chased after him.

The Wolf Warlord clawed at Junhyuk. Its movements were extremely quick and precise, but they were also heavy. Junhyuk swung his swords against the claws, parrying them.

Clang!

He was able to parry, but he gritted his teeth. If he hadn’t gotten a lot stronger in the previous battlefield, he would have been killed.

After parrying the first attack, Junhyuk looked for an opening. However, the Wolf Warlord kept clawing at him. Junhyuk parried again, but he got pushed back, and his body got launched into the air. The claw attack had looked more like an uppercut.

Junhyuk had thought he could fight the Wolf Warlord with his own strength, but now he was in midair. With his body in the air, the Wolf Warlord attempted to bite him, and the war wolves attacked from all directions.

Junhyuk spun in the air while holding his swords out. The Wolf Warlord stopped short and dodged the swords. Junhyuk also knew how to dodge the Wolf Warlord’s attacks. He had fought many of them before.

He took the opportunity to swing at the war wolves, and the Wolf Warlord readied itself to attack him again.

Junhyuk smiled bitterly. It was a bad thing that he had gotten himself thrown in the air, so he teleported to appear above and behind the Wolf Warlord, swinging his sword down on the Wolf Warlord’s skull.

However, it seemed like the Wolf Warlord had eyes on the back of its head. It tilted its head, escaping Junhyuk’s sword striked. In response, the Wolf Warlord tried to elbow Junhyuk, but he blocked it with both swords.

Clang! Crash!

After getting hit by the elbow, Junhyuk bounced off, breaking through a window on a wall nearby. He rolled on the ground, got up and cracked his neck left and right.

“That Wolf Warlord is impressive,” he said, triggering acceleration as he moved forward.
