Chapter 544: Danger 2

The hydra’s heart had been destroyed, but the monster wasn’t dead yet. Two heads remained now, but Junhyuk was low on Harmonizer, so he couldn’t do anything.

The hydra raised its heads and roared loudly. Everyone looked up at the sky, and Junhyuk scowled.

“The tear hasn’t closed yet?!”

Junhyuk had thought the tear had closed while he had been focusing on the hydra. However, twelve drake-wyvern chimeras exited the tear at that moment. The chimeras swooped down at the heroes and champions. The heroes had to focus on the hydra they were already fighting, and now, there were more monsters attacking them.

“Everyone, kill the chimeras!” Junhyuk shouted.

Everyone took off toward a chimeras. Meanwhile, he barely managed to get up. The hydra looked at him in the eyes and beat its wings, taking off straight toward him.

Junhyuk gathered as much energy as he could. Replenishing Harmonizer was an agonizing process for him as he stared at the hydra heading his way. He immediately pulled a core out of his special bag and held it in his hands, absorbing all the energy he could from it. It was faster to absorb the energy straight from the core than to do it from the environment. action

Junhyuk Harmonizer replenished quickly. Sensing danger, the hydra blinked closer to him.

Junhyuk watched as the hydra reappeared and immediately realized that it had also replenished its energy.

Without hesitation, Junhyuk accelerated. Harmonizer was replenishing at a faster rate than Junhyuk’s energy was being used for the acceleration. He dashed with acceleration triggered, whereas the hydra was preparing a spell.

It did not want to give him the opportunity to recover.

Junhyuk sighed and pulled out a scroll. The scroll had been imbued with his force field power. As he tore it up, the hydra cast the spell on him.

Boom, boom, boom!

There were loud explosions, and Junhyuk patted himself for being smart enough to keep a force field scroll in hand. While the force field was active, he replenished even more energy with the core. Harmonizer was almost at full power again, so Junhyuk dashed forward. He triggered his acceleration at the second level, which was nearly as fast as his teleportations.

He could cover a slightly smaller distance with the acceleration at second level, but the energy usage was easier on him. After he closed in, Junhyuk slashed at the hydra, but the monster blinked, dodging the strike.

Blink had a maximum range, a distance Junhyuk could easily cover.

The hydra continued to blink and fly up. Junhyuk couldn’t fly, so he couldn’t chase it down.

His drone had been destroyed. He felt it was imperative that he give chace, but how could he do that now?

Junhyuk thought about Halo’s Rain from Above. He didn’t have Rain from Above at his disposal, but he had something else: Dentra’s Magic Sword. It could control the wind.

Junhyuk raised a wind wall and rode it up. He couldn’t accelerate that way, but he could fly.

While he was moving with the wind on his back, the hydra was readying another spell. By now, Junhyuk realized that after its heart was destroyed, the hydra wasn’t able to use any more breaths.

The hydra wouldn’t be able to push him around anymore, and if he managed to buy more time, his Dimensional Slash would come off cooldown, and he would kill the monster once and for all. Fighting the hydra was not easy, but he was getting better at controlling the wind with Dentra’s Magic Sword.

He hadn’t flown much before, but he was getting used to it now.

The chimeras were attacking the champions. They could also breathe out fireballs, so fighting them wasn’t easy. Their scales were as strong as the scales of a normal dragon.

The heroes were killing the chimeras, but the champions were having a very difficult time.

Seeing that, Junhyuk thought he had to kill the hydra immediately.

Junhyuk knew that Harmonizer was nearly full, so he readied another blade energy blast. He focused Harmonizer on a single point of the sword, and the hydra started at it.

With Harmonizer, he could easily destroy one of the hydra’s heads. The blade of Junhyuk’s sword flashed, and the hydra used blink. However, the sword attack carried Junhyuk’s willpower.

It was a strike at light speed, and the energy blast pierced through the blue head. By now, he expected to be victorious.

Only one head remained, and Junhyuk rushed it. The hydra blinked and rushed toward him. It stabbed its tail forward like a spear toward him.

Junhyuk frowned at the attack. He had to be completely focused to use the sword blast, but the tail stab disrupted his stance, and the energy he was gathering disappeared.

Junhyuk blocked the tail with his swords then.

Clang!

He was pushed back, but since he had full control of the wind, he launched himself up, hovering above the hydra. The monster raised its remaining head to look at him, and he smiled.

“You’ve been extremely troublesome.”

Junhyuk’s sword flashed again. The hydra knew it couldn’t dodge it with blink, so it cast another spell. It was trying to take him down with it, but Junhyuk smiled coldly at it. The strike destroyed the hydra’s remaining head. Seeing it gone, Junhyuk sighed, relieved.

He had killed the strongest of the monsters, but the champions were still risking their lives. At the same time, Junhyuk knew that no champion had become a hero yet, and if that continued, Eltor would be free to try again.

Junhyuk rode the wind and slashed a nearby chimera that was attacking Helen. His sword was completely imbued with Harmonizer, so he cut through the monster like butter.

The chimera fell, and Junhyuk kept on. He headed toward Ling Ling. With Harmonizer, he pierced through the drake’s scales. The chimera lost its head, and Ling Ling gave him a short bow. He headed off again, riding the wind.

Junhyuk quickly killed the remaining chimeras and looked up at the skill. The tear was still open.

The powered people couldn’t leave yet.

Biting his lip, Junhyuk flew up toward it. Standing in front of the dimensional tear, Junhyuk used his Spatial Collapse. The collapse erased the pocket of dimension within the tear, and the whole dimensional tear collapse within itself.

Crraaaack, boom!

The dimensional tear was gone. Junhyuk knew he could close them now. He hadn’t done so in regular fashion. Instead, he had destroyed the pocket of dimension that kept the tear open, making it collapse into itself.

He thought about the remaining 149 tears. He would have to move fast to close them all.

At that moment, he tried contacting Ganesha, but he couldn’t reach her. Scowling, Junhyuk turned to Elise and said, “We should return to Guardians HQ.”

“I’ll go with you.”

He nodded and turned to the others. The powered people would divide in teams and deploy around the world. With the help of the heroes, the champions would be able to kill the chimeras.

Junhyuk and Elise got in her plane, and the others used the teleportation circles. He and Elise flew back to Seoul.

About five minutes later, they were over Guardians HQ. When he arrived, he saw the devastation.

Junhyuk teleported to Eunseo’s office and looked around. The door was shattered, and there were dead bodies everywhere. However, Eunseo and Ganesha weren’t there.

Elise landed the plane and joined him, saying, “Ganesha isn’t here?”

“I can’t find her.”

Elise looked around, observing the destruction and deducing what happened, “Ganesha rescued Eunseo. They used that path over there to head out. Let’s go.”

They both moved out with his wind powers. Once on the roof, they looked around.

Elise extended her hand, and a translucent plate appeared hovering in the air. She said, “Our enemies did not waste time. I’ll check the CCTV feeds and recordings to try and locate Ganesha.”

Taking stock of the destruction, she decided on the most likely path and pulled those specific recordings. She quickly figured out what happened.

“There are some on the Dongjak Bridge, in a black van. Another black van is crossing the Han River. There a black van in the Sangdo Tunnel, and they’ve taken over five tourist buses. They are all over Seoul.”

Junhyuk gritted his teeth and asked, “Did you find out who destroyed Ganesha?”

“Wait a minute. Let’s move to that location.”

Junhyuk took them to Guardians’ Lab, where they found the pieces of Junhyuk’s robot. He turned back to the roof of the main building and asked, “Could someone destroy Ganesha from that roof?”

Looking at how the pieces were scattered, Junhyuk frowned. Eunseo was definitely injured.

He felt fury travel through his entire body.
