Chapter 505: Invitation 3

Even though Sarang had healed him, Junhyuk’s face was still all puffy. It would take him more time to recover. Junhyuk had regained all of his health, but Artlan had beaten the crap out of him, so there were consequences.

“He’s barbaric,” Junhyuk muttered.

“What?”

Artlan was listening, so he waved him off quickly and said, “You are so gung-ho.”

Artlan emptied another bottle of whiskey, and while Junhyuk was massaging his jaw, he asked, “How do you continue accelerating like that?”

Junhyuk knew his own acceleration had a limit, but because the Wolf Warlord couldn’t keep up with him, he thought he had been fast enough. Artlan was much faster, however.

Artlan threw the empty bottle away and said, “The important thing is the amount of mana one has. Even more important than that is how one controls their mana. How well can you control your mana?”

Junhyuk realized he had been training incorrectly. Artlan grabbed another bottle of whiskey and continued, “You have mediocre sword skills and you don’t have full control of your body. Your items are nice, but that’s like giving expensive gifts to a child.”

Junhyuk sighed. He was on a winning streak in the battlefield, so he hadn’t been afraid. Now, he realized that other heroes might cross over after his items, and that he might lose to them on Earth.

Halo got up from his seat and said, “Artlan is too blunt. Do you want to spar with me?”

Junhyuk knew he would gain valuable experience from that, so he got up. Artlan had beaten the crap out of him, but he thought Halo would be different.

Junhyuk readied himself, and Halo brandished his sword.

“I spar with Layla often. Let’s see how you do.”

“Has Layla ever won?”

“No. If she had, I would have had to become her disciple.”

Junhyuk accelerated and dashed toward Halo. Anyone who had full control of their mana should be able to accelerate, and Junhyuk wanted to find out if Halo could as well.

Suddenly, Halo disappeared.

Clang!

Junhyuk blocked by instinct. Otherwise, he would’ve died. Halo was that fast.

Halo slash at him like lightning. He didn’t think the hero would be that fast. While Junhyuk was pushed back, Halo kept attacking.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

Halo was wielding his sword with both hands, and Junhyuk didn’t think Halo would’ve been able to swing that fast, but he could barely keep up.

Halo’s attack speed was even faster than Artlan’s.

Junhyuk did not want to be pushed back. He had accelerated, but he couldn’t do much else.

He knew he would lose from Halo’s very first attack, so he thought he had to get his powers out immediately. Junhyuk had just blocked Halo’s sword and was about to counter when Halo’s sword bent softly.

Both of his swords were deflected, and Halo stabbed at him. Junhyuk quickly raised his force field and used his Spatial Collapse. He thought he could win with it, but Halo turned his body sideways and dodged a direct hit. He had seen others with developed senses dodge his Spatial Slash, but never his Spatial Collapse.

However, while Halo turned, he lost his balance, so Junhyuk used his Spatial Slash.

Halo dove toward the Spatial Collapse, using the momentum to effectively dodge the Spatial Slash.

Halo was being held in place by the collapse, but he used his own sword shield, and Junhyuk swung against it.

Junhyuk couldn’t break Halo’s sword shield, and Halo was simply trying to run the clock.

The sword shield had no cooldown or active time limit, so Junhyuk used his wind blade. Halo’s sword shield covered a wide area, but his wind blade focused on a single spot.

Junhyuk stabbed forward with all of his might against Halo’s sword shield, and his wind blade was completely dispelled.

Junhyuk didn’t have the time to be disappointed, however. The Spatial Collapse had ended, and Halo was counterattacking.

Clang, clang, clang!

Halo was so strong that Junhyuk kept getting pushed back. Halo’s sword slid down the blade of his sword and slashed Junhyuk’s thigh.

Slash!

Junhyuk was wearing armor, so the damage was low, but he felt something strange from it. Halo pointed his sword at Junhyuk and started spinning and rising into the air. That was one of Halo’s powers.

Junhyuk used both of his swords to defend against it, and Halo threw his sword toward Junhyuk.

Clang!

The sword bounced off, but it kept flying and homing for him. That was Rain from Above.

In the Dimensional Battlefield, Rain from Above only lasted a short while, so Junhyuk teleported and tried to stab Halo in the back. Halo, who seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, blocked his attack with ease and followed up with his own attack.

Junhyuk teleported again to escape and attack. It made no difference.

He tried to use Aksha’s sword from far away, but Halo had the advantage at long rage. Rain from Above worked best at long range.

Junhyuk had thought he would’ve been able to block Rain from Above, but Halo scoffed at his attitude and attacked him yet again.

When Rain from Above came for him, Junhyuk was unable to block it even with both of his swords. He had great items now, but if that had happened in the past, he would’ve turned into a pool of blood.

On top of that, Halo’s movement speed, which wasn’t anything related to his powers, was just as fast as Junhyuk’s acceleration. The bigger problem, however, was that Halo’s attack speed was much faster than Junhyuk’s.

Junhyuk was getting injured, and every one of Halo’s attacks was proving that Junhyuk’s swordsmanship was crap.

Junhyuk knew it was time to end things. He wanted to close in on Halo, so he used Aksha’s sword shields.

Halo retreated quickly, but Rain from Above was still active, and it was incredibly strong. The sword pierced through all three layers of sword shields and pierced the ground right by his foot.

Junhyuk thought that if Halo’s sword had stabbed him, he would’ve lost an arm, or worse.

Halo walked toward Junhyuk, pulled his sword out of the ground and said, “You are certainly lacking the basics.”

Halo walked away, and Junhyuk sighed.

The hero had only been trying to teach him, but Junhyuk’s pride ended up hurt.

Nudra walked up to him and said, “Considering the time you’ve been training, don’t be too disappointed.”

He looked at Artlan and Halo. They had been training all of their lives, so in comparison, his training time had been short. Still, his pride had received some blows.

Nudra also wanted to teach him a few things. He could sense it.

Junhyuk wanted to learn. His eyes were beaming softly, and looking at him, Nudra said, “I like your mindset.”

“Then, please teach me.”

Nudra gave a content smile.

Junhyuk closed in quickly, swinging immediately. He knew he couldn’t do much against those heroes, so he made up his mind to do his best.

Nudra extended his hand against Junhyuk’s sword.

Clang!

Junhyuk felt a soft impact and saw Nudra being pushed back.

Boom!

Nudra hadn’t been pushed back. Junhyuk had. He only realized that after slamming against the wall behind him.

Junhyuk collected his breath and analyzed things.

Nudra hadn’t moved fast at all, but he had launched Junhyuk back.

Staring at Nudra, Junhyuk dove forward. Nudra put the palm of his hand forward, and Junhyuk teleported. He wanted to stab Nudra from the back, but the hero took a step forward, avoiding the attack.

Junhyuk was accelerating, but Nudra was still dodging his attacks while moving slowly. Nudra was much slower than Halo, but none of Junhyuk’s attacks hit.

Junhyuk wanted to speed up. Without the Spatial Collapse and the Spatial Slash, he could only depend on his skills.

But, Nudra was dodging everything.

From time to time, Nudra kicked him, and Junhyuk went rolling across the ground. He could feel the dirt all over him, so he focused even harder and attacked again.

Nudra wasn’t getting tired at all.

During one of the times Junhyuk went rolling, Halo turned to Artlan and said, “You should teach him more.”

“I’ve already taught him everything he needs. The rest he has to learn on his own.”

Halo turned to Layla and said, “You have a good master.”

“I’m always grateful.”

Junhyuk went rolling across the ground again.
