Chapter 369: Change 2

Junhyuk had massacred 90 percent of the monster wave just with his shockwaves. He and the experts’ team moved toward where the Tokyo Tower used to stand, where the dimensional tear was.

Everyone was anxious. They were running at full speed, so they were quickly getting tired.

They had taken care of the wave, but there were more than fifty monsters already on them. B- and C-ranked monsters were mixed together. The team thought they had killed them all.

Ling Ling followed Junhyuk and looked at Jeffrey. Junhyuk seemed to trust Jeffrey, but Jeffrey didn’t do much. Both of them had told them that they had gone out to hunt an A-ranked monster, but nobody had seen the monster.

Ling Ling had access to a satellite video that showed them taming a monster, but she hadn’t seen it in detail yet, so she was going crazy with curiosity.

On their way to the Tokyo Tower, they encountered many monsters. The monsters that had gathered in the tower area were now rushing toward them.

Junhyuk knew that would happen, which is why he brought the experts’ team with him. After he advanced into the dimensional tear, the experts would have to deal with the monsters.

He trusted Jeffrey. The team wasn’t fully formed yet, but Jeffrey could stop many monsters by himself with the Ghost White Tiger summon. It would only last a short while, but the Ghost White TIger was strong. It could easily and quickly kill B-ranked monsters.

Without the B-ranked monsters, the experts would have no problem dealing with C-ranked monsters, even without powers.

Once he reached the grounds of the Tokyo Tower, he raised his head and looked around.

“It’s high.”

The dimensional tear was at least 350 meters up. As he stood under it looking up, he pulled out the items Vera had sent him.

He turned to Jeffrey—he was able to trust Jeffrey now—and gave him one of them. He had already fed it mana stones. The countries’ delegates had told him that they would pay for his expenses, so he did not care about the costs.

Also, if he could destroy the tear, he would earn money from the bodies of the monsters scattered in the area. The experts and novices would stand to gain from it.

The number of dead monsters was already over a few hundred.

Junhyuk looked toward the dimensional tear and said, “After I go inside, no more monsters will come out of it. However, the monsters in the area will head this way. Protect this place.”

Jeffrey asked carefully, “How long will it take to destroy the dimensional tear?”

Junhyuk thought about the last time and answered, “I have to think about it.”

The distance of his teleportation had increased, and the cooldown was shorter. He could destroy the core tower quicker than last time, but that all depended on how many monsters were inside the tear.

Last time, he entered when the dimensional tear had just formed, so he had only met one A-ranked monster inside. However, he didn’t know how many would be inside of the tear now.

He had to risk his own life. Sarang would’ve been able to help him, but it was too late to call her now.

Junhyuk looked at the group and declared, “Then, I’m going in.”

“Yes, sir.”

Junhyuk teleported up, appearing two hundred meters above the ground. He teleported again and entered the tear.

Inside the dimensional tear, he felt fear creeping up his spine. Before, when he had looked at the tear, he had felt dimensional death and birth, which had helped him come up with the Spatial Collapse. As he crossed into the tear this time, his hairs stood on end from fear. He was feeling something completely different now. Previously, he had just walked into the dimensional tear without worry, but with his spatial sense, he realized how dangerous the place really was.

He had completed the Spatial Collapse, but he had also torn a hole through space, destroying the monster area border.

He was shocked once again by what management was doing and he still wanted them dead.

Junhyuk followed the glowing white path. No new monsters had shown up through the tear since they had killed the Ghost White Tiger, so he thought he would end up meeting one on the way, which made him pick up the pace.

There were two new buff monsters in the Dimensional Battlefield, so it wouldn’t be weird if there were new A-ranked monsters inside the tear.

Junhyuk sped up, and that’s when he saw some shapes coming toward him from far away. He couldn’t tell what they were yet.

As he stared at them approaching, he frowned.

Everything coming at him looked like him, Junhyuk Lee, and they were all wearing Bebe’s Black Armor.

There were ten of them, and another being was standing behind the ten, still without form.

“Doppelgangers?”

He had not met anything like them in the Champions’ Battlefield. They all looked like him, so could they fight like him?

Junhyuk smiled at them and said, “Sorry, I don’t have time to talk.”

He dashed forward, and the others closed in on him. Junhyuk felt strange about it, but he wielded his swords expertly. He felt like he was hurting himself, but slashing them all wasn’t difficult.

Their movements were different from other monsters. They didn’t just looked like him, but they moved like him as well. Their speed was the same as his.

He had triggered acceleration to cut them down. After he was done, he lowered his swords and murmured, “That was easy.”

Most of them had fallen victim to his shockwaves, so they were easily disposed of.

He looked at the shapeless being and said, “You must be the A-ranked monster.”

Junhyuk thought it was a Doppelganger King. He walked toward the being and watched it as it took shape. It looked like Junhyuk as well, but it wasn’t wearing Bebe’s Black Armor. It was wearing something else.

“The Vampire Lord set?” Junhyuk shook his head and asked, “You look just like me... What are you up to?”

Their shapes were the same, but Junhyuk had the items, the stats and his powers.

It did look just like him, however.

He closed in, and the Doppelganger King came straight at him. He was surprised by the King’s speed. The B-ranked doppelgangers had had the same regular speed as him, but the King matched his every move.

“How about this?”

Junhyuk triggered acceleration, and the Doppelganger King did the same. He was shocked that the Doppelganger King was able to do that and slashed at it.

Clang!

Their swords clashed, and the Doppelganger King took advantage of his surprise to close in and strike again.

Clang!

Junhyuk blocked, but the Doppelganger King was attacking him with shocking speed. He was a hero now, and the Doppelganger King was matching his speed and strength.

Junhyuk realized that the Doppelganger King was different from ordinary A-ranked monsters.

“That’s shocking. You are just copying me, but you can’t defeat me,” he declared.

Junhyuk raised his force field, and the Doppelganger King’s eyes beamed. It swung its sword in response.

Clang!

The Doppelganger King’s sword got stuck on the force field, and Junhyuk quickly slashed at the monster. He did not care about his defense, focusing solely on attacking.

However, as slash appeared across his chest.

“Cough!!”

Coughing blood, Junhyuk stepped back. The Doppelganger King was smirking. It had been slashed across the chest, but it did not feel pain.

Junhyuk did not know what to do, and that’s when the Doppelganger King spoke for the first time, “Shocked?”

“How is this possible?”

The Doppelganger King touched its chest and said, “You have impressive skills, but you and I are connected.”

“So?”

“If you attack me, you’ll also be wounded.”

Junhyuk didn’t know that kind of power existed. He was even more shocked by it because he was covered by the force field.

He stared at the Doppelganger King. Its power probably ranked higher than Junhyuk’s own powers, and he did not have a clue of how to kill it. The thought of killing himself even flashed in his mind.

The force field was of no use, and he also couldn’t use the Spatial Slash since he would receive the damage from it.

The Doppelganger King smiled and raised its sword.

“How about this?” it asked.

It stabbed its own shoulder, and Junhyuk’s shoulder also started bleeding. It was totally unexpected.

“Even when my opponents’ powers and stats are impressive, I can easily kill them.”

Junhyuk was very angry, but he couldn’t attack. He thought about their connection. There had to be a reason for why they were linked, even if he couldn’t see it.

He focused on his spatial sense. Junhyuk had to feel the link. As he focused, the Doppelganger King approached and slashed at him.

Junhyuk dodged the attacks, trying to think harder, and that’s when he figured it out. There was an invisible thread between the two.

Junhyuk teleported back forty meters and extended his hand. The Doppelganger King ran at him, and he smiled.

“You are full of shit! You can’t hurt me!” it barked at Junhyuk.

Junhyuk used the Spatial Collapse between then. Any link between the two wouldn’t survive the collapse. After he was disconnected from the Doppelganger King, he used his Spatial Slash.

Blood spurted out of the monster’s neck, and after it was dead, Junhyuk took the body and put it inside his Spatial Bag.

Hatma had told him that a Doppelganger King’s heart had a dimensional error in it. He couldn’t eat it like the sorcerer, but he wanted to research the heart.
