Chapter 47: Evolution 1

"Didn't I tell you I would kill you?" Skia whispered, taunting him.

An opponent was getting killed. Junhyuk was being taunted and felt death approaching alongside pain and fear, but he felt one more thing.

He felt terrible fury.

Skia was killing him and scoffing at the situation, and Junhyuk couldn't stand it.

He couldn't just die. If he died, he would take Skia with him.

This mindset moved Junhyuk's body. He grabbed the blade penetrating his chest with his hand. His hand was bleeding and being torn, but he did not mind it. He couldn't even feel the pain because he was filled with great fury.

Skia laughed a little at Junhyuk, who held on to the dagger's blade.

"Time for you to go."

Junhyuk lifted his left hand and grabbed the whispering Skia's hair. Skia twisted the dagger.

Junhyuk was holding Skia's hair as an expert, and Skia was a hero. Skia couldn't forgive him. Skia meant to give him more pain by trying to twist the dagger, but the dagger didn't move.

"What?"

Skia was confused, and then Junhyuk whispered in Skia's ear:

"Do you think I will die alone?"

Junhyuk spoke and disappeared. He couldn't use the force field, and spatial relocation still required additional time. Suddenly, he appeared next to Vera.

Junhyuk was still holding on to Skia when he appeared. Vera didn't care how Junhyuk had managed to use spatial relocation with Skia in tow.

At that moment, Junhyuk was sacrificing himself to kill Skia. Vera understood Junhyuk's wish and threw a fire spear at Skia's back.

Boom!

"Gah!"

Skia tried to escape, but Junhyuk was still holding on to the blade and the hair. Skia was hit with another fire spear.

Boom!

Since Skia was an assassin, Skia didn't have a strong constitution and was almost dead. It would take just one more attack, but Skia couldn't drop the dagger.

Skia pushed the dagger deeper into Junhyuk. Skia couldn't twist or pull the dagger, but it was possible to push it in further. The part of the blade penetrating Junhyuk's chest became longer.

Skia swung the dagger held by the left hand and cut Junhyuk's arm with the hand that was holding Skia's hair.

Slash!

Junhyuk's arm dropped, and Skia tried to move to another shadow.

"No!"

A shout rang out almost like a scream. Skia's head turned, and a long flash of light flew at Skia. It was very fast, and it only took a blink of an eye to reach Skia's head.

The light hit Skia's head, and Skia began disappearing.

Vera was making another fire orb when she turned to look and saw Sarang standing there. Her energy bolt was only strong enough to tickle heroes, but her power was different.

Her activated power couldn't be ignored by heroes. Her power stopped time, but it was accompanied by some small damage. Skia died from her power inflicting that small damage.

Sarang ran toward Junhyuk, and Vera stood in front of her. Libya had already experienced Sarang's power and was targeting her.

Sarang held Junhyuk.

"Big brother!"

Junhyuk was already disappearing.

Junhyuk's lips moved, but he couldn't make any sound. Sarang started to cry, and his body disappeared completely.

Vera made a firewall to cover Sarang and said:

"Experts have one reincarnation. He will be back."

Sarang was covered in tears and looked at Vera. Vera continued:

"If you want to see him again, retreat. They know about your power."

Sarang collected herself. Junhyuk told her to stay alive, and she couldn't just stay there.

She had to survive and meet Junhyuk again.

Sarang got up, and Vera asked her:

"Your power, can you sense the cooldown time?"

That was the second time Sarang had used her power, and this time, she focused on the cooldown.

"I have forty seconds remaining."

"You can fire it once every minute?"

With small damage and the ability to stop time, her power might be as useful as Junhyuk's.

Vera stood in front of her and created a fire orb.

---

Death.

With death came terrible emptiness. The time spent there was both just a moment and an eternity. He passed through a dark space and opened his eyes. He was in the same room he appeared in every time he was summoned there.

He was in the white room, and Junhyuk saw the amount of gold coins he had amassed.

It said 11,384G.

That was over 10,000G already. Shaking his head, he looked over his completely fixed armor. There were no wounds.

If he didn't have to pass through the thick, empty space, he would not have believed that he had died. Then, a deep-toned voice rang out:

[You've died once. You have 0 reincarnations left on this battlefield.]

Junhyuk frowned and lifted his head. There were two swords in front of him, and he picked up only one of them.

"Summon."

Bebe's longsword appeared in his right hand. He was dual-wielding again, and his eyes beamed.

"I should've been more careful."

Vera had been in danger, but it was still a mistake to use the force field on her. Still, if they lost the team battle, he and Sarang would surely die. So, he helped her, but he ended up dead.

He decided that in the future he would use his powers more carefully.

[You may exit through the main entrance.]

Junhyuk walked toward the door.

[Expert 01 deployed.]

He went out of the door, and there were hundreds of minions talking among themselves. They would all die in a team battle or defending the allied camp.

He looked at them and looked at the castle's gate.

He had never died before, so he had never returned to the castle. Junhyuk was worrying about what to do when he heard Artlan's voice:

"What are you doing?"

Junhyuk turned and asked him:

"What brings you here?"

"I died."

Artlan looked over his body and complained:

"Crap. I lost the gloves in the ice wall."

He had never seen Artlan wearing gloves and looked at him dumbfounded. Artlan said:

"What are you looking at? Let's move!"

"OK."

What it really meant was that Junhyuk couldn't make it to battlefield by himself, so Artlan also got himself killed to take him back. He felt very grateful. Artlan looked at the minions protecting the castle.

"Follow me."

The minions got up after hearing Artlan. Artlan's whole body exuded energy, and every minion was scared of him, following him without a word.

However, those who spoke afterward would die. If they used items on minions, the minions would be more useful, but the heroes did not treat minions as humans. The heroes found it easier to use fear on the minions.

Junhyuk walked behind Artlan and said:

"I need to purchase another weapon."

"A weapon? Do you have the money?"

"Yes."

Artlan hesitated and lifted his hand. The minions stopped, and Artlan looked up at the sky and said:

"All right. We will go, just the two of us."

"What about the minions?"

"Nudra is supposed to come here."

Artlan grabbed Junhyuk's shoulder.

"We don't have the time. Run."

"OK."

Junhyuk followed Artlan and ran. He wanted to buy another sword.

---

He was running with Artlan when he noticed something moving. Artlan was disinterested, but Junhyuk looked at it.

Something was moving inside the forest.

"Something is coming this way."

"Why did you stop?"

Artlan frowned, and Junhyuk summoned his long sword.

"It's a person."

Rustle, rustle.

Through the forest trees, a face showed up. It was a familiar face. One of the five who had lagged behind. He didn't look so good and was running.

He must've lost his sword, and he was only holding a shield, but the shield was heavily damaged.

He ran and rolled toward them.

"Please, save me!"

He was shouting in English, and Junhyuk saw the thing behind him, a two-headed wolf. Junhyuk had never seen a two-headed wolf.

He ran and swung both of his swords.

Clank, clank!

Both heads bit in his direction, and each took a hold of one sword, but Junhyuk wasn't very scared.

He had experienced anger at the time of his own death, and the wolf's murdering spirit only seemed funny. Maybe it was because he had faced the heroes' murdering aura too many times.

He could withstand the wolf's huge force. It was different from when he was a minion, when he would've been dropped to the ground. Now, he was an expert.

There was a significant difference in strength between minions and experts, and he was also a carrying a strength runestone.

The wolf was trying to drop him using its two front paws, but he kicked the wolf's stomach.

Thud!

The wolf was pushed back, and Junhyuk grabbed his swords. Artlan said to him:

"Your power. You used it during the cooldown time for sure, and while carrying another person."

Junhyuk listened to him, and Artlan continued:

"Your powers has evolved."

"You're saying I should check?"

"Right."

Junhyuk jumped toward the wolf. The wolf attacked with both heads, and Junhyuk swung his swords.

Clank, clank!

The wolf bit both swords again, and then Junhyuk used spatial relocation. He was on the wolf's back and swung his swords, slicing both of the wolf's hind legs. The regular longsword only scratched it, but Bebe's longsword cut and sliced a leg.

Junhyuk wanted to buy more weapons. The wolf swung its fluffy tail. The tail's hair stood up and was sharp enough to stab someone

Junhyuk focused on himself out and used spatial relocation.

He was under the wolf and pushed his swords in from underneath the wolf's jaws. Both swords went up each of the wolf's heads. The wolf died without resistance, and Junhyuk cleaned his swords.

Artlan asked him:

"Can you use it continuously now?"

"Yes, continuous relocation is possible, but the cooldown time increased to forty seconds."

"That's not too bad."

This evolution was not bad at all, but in reality, it was very good. He could use two spatial relocations in a row, and that increased his survival rate.

Junhyuk picked up eight gold coins and looked at the tired man.

"Are you okay?"

Chris was not himself and looked at him. He moved from place to place. Is it possible to teleport?

He couldn't deal with two-headed wolf, but Junhyuk had killed it by himself. Chris needed his help.

"Please, help me."

Junhyuk stared at him blankly. He must've been chased by monsters.

"You must follow us."

"Don't worry about it."

Chris made up his mind that he would survive by following Junhyuk, and Junhyuk looked at Artlan and said:

"It's better to have more minions. Follow us."

Artlan took the lead, and Junhyuk followed him. Chris picked up his shield and followed his new lifeline.
