Legend of Legends - Chapter 533 - Core Energy 2
Junhyuk invited Artlan and his team. Aside from Vera, everyone showed up. Vera had business with the magic tower in her domain.
Junhyuk’s eyes beamed as he looked at them.
Artlan walked up to him and asked, “What’s with all that crappy energy flowing through you?”
“I was trying to assimilate the energy of the cores, and this is the result.”
“Tsc.”
Artlan clicked his tongue, and Nudra walked up toward him and asked, “Can I feel your pulse?”
Junhyuk offered Nudra his wrist, and the hero closed his eyes and focused.

“You are right to call it crappy, but there are other powerful energy types as well. You mana has increased, but the amount of other energy types is also large. For you to have increased your mana well like this… You could have died.”
Junhyuk smiled bitterly and replied, “I know how stupid I was. It’s true that I nearly died.”
Artlan laid a hand on his shoulder then and said, “If you want to die, just ask me. Don’t die all by yourself.”
“I don’t want to die. I learned a new skill, but it required a lot of energy. That’s why I did it.”
Everyone became interested then.
“You must’ve learned something great. Show us.”
Junhyuk used the Dimensional Slash in front of them. No one had known he could cut through dimensions, so after the dimension was torn, everyone frowned.
Halo was astonished, “Really?! You can cut through the dimensional wall now!”
“Yes, Right now, I can cut through the dimensional wall I can see, but I want to reach something that I can’t see.”
Artlan’s eyes beamed then, and he asked, “Do you really plan on fighting the managers?”
“I don’t want to fight the managers. I want to fight one manager.”
“They are strong.”
Junhyuk stared at Artlan. Artlan had just said the managers were strong, so he had an idea of how powerful they really were.
Artlan added, “We had an understanding, which is why I agreed to be summoned, but the managers are strong. Humans can’t begin to understand just how strong.”
“I know.”
“You are talking about contractors, and they aren’t the ones responsible for subjugation. However, they are still strong. You can’t begin to understand how strong the managers responsible for subjugation are.”
Junhyuk smiled. Artlan was worried about him, and he was touched by that.
“Thanks for worrying about me, but to prepare for the worst, I need a weapon of my own.”
Artlan laughed out loud and replied, “I can help you anytime.” Then, the hero whispered in his ear, “This doesn’t mean you can reach the level to fight a manager. Don’t be so eager.”
Junhyuk gave him an awkward smile and asked, “Do you want me to be scared?”
“You should know yourself. If you don’t know your limitations, you are just being silly.”
Artlan turned to the other heroes and said, “Controlling those crappy energies will take time, and so will looking for a dimensional being.”
“Correct.”
Artlan turned to him and said, “I’ll link the energy types into one flow. You’ll receive help from Diane, Halo and Vera to look for the dimensional being.”
“Yes,” the others replied.
“By the way, can I really see a being in another dimension?”
Nudra scratched his chin and said, “To be accurate, it’ll be something different. When you see someone in front of you, you see all the space around them. Now, however, you need to see beyond a dimensional wall. You won’t see the space around the person, but you’ll see the person in a way that you’ll be able to use your Dimensional Slash.”
Junhyuk shook his head and asked, “Does that mean that if I can see beyond the dimensional wall, I’ll be able to attack the managers in other dimensions?”
“It could be the case or it could not. It’s possible that the managers appearing before you are only projecting themselves through dimensions.”
“So, if they are being cautious, they’ll only show a projection of themselves.”
“Correct.”
Junhyuk thought about Eltor, but he would have to see Eltor again to know if what he was seeing was a projection or not.
Artlan looked at Nudra and asked, “Of all these energies, do you see anything you know already?”
“They aren’t totally different, but it won’t be easy tying them up. However, it won’t be impossible. The important thing is to choose which is the main source of energy.”
Artlan looked at Junhyuk and asked, “It should be mana, right?”
Nudra answered, “That’s right, but we should ask Junhyuk which he wants.”
Junhyuk took a moment to think and said, “I want mana.”
“Then, we’ll use mana as the core to tie all of the energies within your body.”
Nudra looked at Artlan and asked, “What are you going to do?”
“I’m only going to help. He should do the rest.”
“Right.”
Artlan sat down and said, “Sit down. Get comfortable.”
Junhyuk sat down, and Nudra sat behind him. Junhyuk was in between the two heroes.
Artlan looked at him and said, “This will be painful.”
“I know pain.”
When the mana well shattered, Junhyuk felt pain beyond his imagination, but he had endured.
Artlan stared at him and said, “I hope you are not joking.”
Who was joking?
“I can endure it.”
“I hope so.”
Artlan told him to his palms forward, and Junhyuk extended both hands toward the hero. Artlan grabbed them and said, “We’ll use mana as the core to tie the energies. Go with the flow. The energies will rush through you, and it’ll be painful, but endure it. Finally, they be made one.”
“I understand.”
Junhyuk waited, and a huge amount of mana appeared on his palms. Even with his mana well enlarged, Junhyuk couldn’t contain that amount within him. He finally understood why Artlan was so strong.
Nudra touched his back, and Junhyuk felt another energy type flowing toward him. It was as strong as Artlan’s mana. Artlan’s mana felt pressured by it. Nudra’s energy was extremely pure.
Both energies flowed through him and stirred his own mana. The mana within his followed the energies of the two heroes.
The other energies were stirred by Junhyuk’s mana, and Junhyuk thought about what Artlan had told him: It would be painful.
The mana was roaming through his body, tearing his veins, but as it did, it repaired them and made them stronger. It was painful.
Inside the magic circles, Junhyuk had shattered his mana well and torn his veins, and that process was repeating itself now at a much faster pace. It was even more painful than before.
Because he had gone through a form of it before, Junhyuk did not pass out. He was still in control of himself, analyzing his own energy as the process continued. The energy within his body followed the path of Nudra’s and Artlan’s energies, repairing him. At the same time, his mana was eating Artlan’s and Nudra’s energies.
The energies of the two heroes travelled fast. His own mana lost the chase, so he focused on something else.
The other energies were rushing through his body, but they weren’t as powerful as the mana. The mana knew that, so it tried to consume the others. Junhyuk could feel the mana trying to eat them, and he felt pain like never before.
The mana and the other types of energy fought, so Junhyuk guided them to his mana well. In there, things changed.
Mana the largest of them all, but the total amount of other energies surpassed mana. Many of them attacked mana together, and mana nearly disappeared.
Junhyuk pushed his will toward mana. It wasn’t a hard thing to do. The living spirit had given him mana, and so he could will it like before.
The different energies attacked mana again, and pain shot through his body. Inside the mana well, a ferocious fight ensued. The mana well was being shattered again.
It didn’t break apart, but the clashes made the process painful, and Junhyuk was about to pass out.
However, he focused on his mana. He willed it and, in that way, he was able to endure the pain. The end was not near, but he did not hurry. Junhyuk attacked the weakest of the energy types with his mana.
His mana consumed that energy. It wasn’t difficult. Under his control, the mana was able to swallow other energy types as well.
Two energy types fused together, and the others also gathered up to fight his mana.
The myriad of energy types now formed three distinct entities. After Junhyuk swallowed the fusion of the two types, he knew he couldn’t stop and continued to control his mana.
