Chapter 409: A New Weapon 2

The Core Bomb was a bomb that made use of the energy of a dimensional tear’s core. The blast limiters were made out of the pieces of the core so that they could control the amount of damage the bomb would make.

Everything was attached to iron soldiers. Normally, ten iron soldiers would be socketed with Core Bombs, and a remote control had also been made from the pieces. Junhyuk headed out with the iron soldiers.

Even if the Core Bomb erased New Delhi from the map, Junhyuk would still have to enter the tear to destroy the core tower. His task was to get a new core.

The iron soldiers were in position, and Junhyuk was flying high above New Delhi. He was able to do that because he was standing on a massive drone. It was a gift from Elise.

Junhyuk could control the drone with the watch around his wrist. It was brand new, and Elise had made it as a hobby.

To use the drone, he had to wear mechanical boots. However, he could now fly, and his ability to move had increased sharply. The drone was something he needed.

The drone was very fast. Testing it with regular humans was still underway, and the drone would be too expensive for a regular person. However, Junhyuk found it extremely helpful.

Mana stones were being used to power the drone. Junhyuk, the iron soldier with the Core Bomb and twenty-three other iron soldiers flew over the monster area.

Then, they landed just outside the border. When the iron soldier with the bomb landed, a red beam fence connected all of the iron soldiers. The fence stretch into massive, tall walls that kept the iron soldiers inside.

Elise thought the Core Bomb would only explode inside the monster area, but in case that wasn’t right, she had created a way to contain the explosion if it happened outside.

Just in case, the army relocated ten kilometers back.

Junhyuk was done preparing, so he said, “Let’s begin. Prepare to go inside.”

Only one iron soldier had a Core Bomb attached to it. The others readied their weapons and shot a barrage of small missiles at the ground as they flew in.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The iron soldier had been equipped with special weaponry. The bombing created massive explosion that swept through everything. New Delhi was covered in fire. The real problem was the A-ranked monster.

Junhyuk searched for the monster while flying on the drone. He saw the Giant Gorilla in the center of the city and flew down. As soon as he did, he used his Spatial Collapse, and the gorilla was hit by it. He had set the Spatial Collapse on the gorilla’s head, so with that one hit, the head was gone.

After that, Junhyuk flew back up.

Junhyuk was leaving the monster area when the iron soldiers landed in the center of New Delhi, surrounded by flames.

Once he was out, he heard Elise’s voice.

“Starting countdown: Three, two, one, detonate!”

Junhyuk stood behind an iron soldier stationed by the border. If the iron soldier got destroyed, he would rely on his magic defense.

Suddenly, a blue light covered everything. If he had looked straight at it, he would’ve gone blind. That overwhelming light left behind a mushroom cloud. As Junhyuk looked at the cloud, he realized that the explosion wouldn’t get through the monster area. A strong heat covered the entire area before getting sucked into the dimensional tear.

Looking at the flames, Junhyuk caught his breath. He had been told that it was similar to a nuke, but still, he couldn’t have imagined it. All of the buildings inside the New Delhi monster area were gone, and the ground sunk by at least five meters.

The blue flames that had filled the monster area eventually died out, and Junhyuk got on his drone and flew inside. As soon as he entered the area, he frowned.

There was no oxygen inside the monster area. So, he quickly left the area, took a deep breath, held it and went right back inside.

He ran with his acceleration triggered, which was faster than flying with the drone. Junhyuk didn’t stop, and when he saw the dimensional tear, he teleported to it.

He had to use two teleportations, but once he was inside, he saw that things were different. The Core Bomb had burned everything inside the tear. As he continued to run, he realized that there was still oxygen there. If that hadn’t been the case, he wouldn’t have been able to continue.

There were no monsters, so he ran as fast as he could.

When he reached the tower, he swung his sword at it.

Clang!

Junhyuk had already destroyed a few of those towers, and previously, he had been able to do it with one strike. However, he did not stop this time.

Clang!

There was a force field around the tower, and Junhyuk frowned and turned back. Eltor was standing there.

Eltor stared at him and clicked his tongue.

“You are a hero now, but you insist on this?”

“Insist on what?” Junhyuk smiled coldly and said, “Considering your actions, this is justified.”

“Our actions created two experts and one champion.”

The number of novice casualties had been so high that Junhyuk hadn’t even learned about the two experts. He scowled at Eltor.

“So, you are saying this is natural?”

“Our plan was a success. The monster waves will continue, and champions will eventually become heroes.”

“All to activate more powers?”

“Correct.”

Junhyuk aimed his sword at Eltor and said, “This has to be destroyed.”

Eltor stared at him and smirked, saying, “You need to stop now. The monster areas were created as an experimental environment. If you continue, we’ll have to get rid of the borders.”

“Is that a threat?”

Junhyuk knew very well what would happen if the borders of the monster areas disappeared. Without them, the monsters would fill the Earth. He did not think it was an empty threat.

“Humanity will disappear just so you can have more heroes?!”

“Humanity won’t disappear. According to our calculations, out of every one million people who perish, a hero is born. You just need three more heroes.”

To get those three heroes, management was willing to kill three million people. Staring at Eltor, Junhyuk used his Spatial Slash. It pierced Eltor’s neck, but the manager kept smiling.

“Is that what you want?”

Junhyuk’s Spatial Slash hadn’t worked, and he frowned. Why hadn’t his attack worked?

Eltor smiled at him and said, “Your powers are rare among heroes, but you can’t fight us.” Extending both arms, he continued, “You feel us in front of you, but our real selves are in another dimension. Unless you have a Dimensional Slash, you won’t reach us.”

Eltor smiled and said, “I understand your feelings, but I’ll give you some advice.”

Junhyuk stared at the manager, who simply kept smiling.

“You need to hurry. It will take ten days to remove the borders.”

In ten days, the borders would be gone, and the world would descend into chaos. Junhyuk had destroyed four tears so far. He still had ninety-six to go.

“You need to hurry.”

Junhyuk turned around and pounded against the tower. Eltor was gone.

“Then, that’s what I’ll do.”

When he destroyed the tower, he took the core with him. They could now create ten core bombs, but he didn’t know how long that would take.

He saw the pieces of the tower and put some of them inside his Spatial Bag before he started running. Jeffrey was not in range that day, so he had to get out on his own.

Junhyuk could accelerate without restrictions, so he ran out of the tunnel. Once out of the tear, he teleported before dropping to the ground. Then, he turned around and looked up. The dimensional tear was gone, and he sighed.

“Ten days…”

Junhyuk knew he was the reason for it all. However, he didn’t regret his decision. He had made up his mind, so he had to follow through.

The drone flew toward him, and Junhyuk got on it and flew toward the allied camp. He was the only one who could to destroy the core tower. After the bomb, there would be no oxygen within the monster area, and the core tower, from now on, would be harder to destroy.

Other people might take the entire day trying, and what would happen if more monsters appeared? Whoever went inside tear could die.

“Things are getting complicated.”

Junhyuk would have to destroy the closest tears. He flew on the drone and reached the allies. Brigadier Johnson walked over to him as he landed.

“Guardians has called for a meeting.”

Junhyuk looked at Elise. He walked over to her and handed her the core and the tower pieces.

“How fast can you make a Core Bomb?”

“In about three days.”

“One bomb takes three days?”

“No. With the core, I can make ten bombs in three days.”

Junhyuk pulled out the core he had kept for himself and said, “You need to make twenty fast.”

Elise nodded and replied, “Sure.”

She walked away, and Junhyuk entered the communications room. The people on the screens were full of expectations.

Eunseo spoke first.

“The Core Bomb was really effective. You destroyed the dimensional tear very quickly.”

Junhyuk had to be realistic about what was happening.

“Starting now, we have ten days. We have to destroy as many tears as possible.” Junhyuk seemed tense as he spoke, and the delegates frowned. He told them what had happened and concluded, “In ten days, the borders will be gone, and the monsters will come out.”
