Legend of Legends-Chapter 508 - Activation 1

Chapter 508: Activation 1

Elise’s equipment was getting better and better with each passing day. She was becoming stronger at a faster rate than her enemies and, because of that, she was in complete control of the battlefield.

She was now equipped with an item Junhyuk had never seen before. Junhyuk hadn’t eaten or slept while training. Elise, who had gotten inspired by her talk with the heroes, had another Red Dragon item, and it was incredibly powerful.

Elise was superior to her enemies, and she pushed them away easily. She was doing the job of two champions, or maybe even more.

It seemed like Elise would win easily, but then, the enemies’ strategy changed. All three of them focused entirely on her. Elise’s defense was higher now, but she couldn’t endure all of their attacks.

Zaira had been deployed for assistance, but Elise died anyway. Nevertheless, the enemies were pushed back by the two remaining champions.

The allies were about to win with ease.

Junhyuk ate his steaks sitting down, comfortably watching the battle. The flow of the battle was heavily in favor of the allies. Elise hadn’t revived yet, so the allies were killed by the revived enemies. Nobody had seen that coming.

Junhyuk clicked his tongue. With things like that, he couldn’t tell who would win. The rate of return for his bet on Elise’s team was low, and he had bet on her because he was sure she would win. However, if she lost, he wouldn’t make any money.

Junhyuk tensed up as he watched. Elise returned to the battlefield, joining the revived allies and moving out. But, the enemies had already acquired the buff, and that buff would decide who would win or lose that battle.

The allies encountered the enemies again. This time, the battle was more ferocious, but the enemy champions had come up with good strategies. Elise was killed again. As a champion, she lost gold from that, but she wouldn’t enjoy the feeling of dying and the harrowing void.

While she was dead, Elise worked on her research. That was just the way she was. She had had a discussion with the heroes about magic engineering and she was pushing that front.

The enemy champions pushed on after killing Elise, killing another allied champion.

Elise revived again and had a discussion with the allied champions. This time, she would go all out. The enemies were only focusing on her because the others weren’t doing their part. So, the allied champions stood as a wall in front of her.

The enemy champions would have a harder time killing her that way, and Elise was free to attack them with long range attacks. She didn’t have any long range powers, but her regular attacks were sufficiently strong. There were no champions who could match her from long range.

This time, Elise survived, but the allied champions were killed. Elise killed the enemies and destroyed the enemy gate, quickly returning after that.

There was a golem in the castle, and if she had entered it by herself, she would’ve probably died. So, she retreated and joined up with the allied champions.

The enemies pushed forward, taking a different path from the one the allies had opened. They destroyed an allied tower while Elise and the allied champions pushed on toward the enemy castle. The enemies returned, and a fight ensued. However, the enemies had a golem on their side.

The allies killed the golem, but got annihilated by the enemy champions.

Elise had died a total of three times by now, and Junhyuk clicked his tongue at that. Junhyuk hadn’t expected her to die because her items were superior.

The allies advanced again, and the enemy champions returned one more time. This time, however, there was no golem left. The allies would push on.

Junhyuk watched the enemy champions and saw that they were doing their best to kill Elise. With the allied champions blocking for her, they were locked in a team battle.

Even if Elise died, the allies would still win. Nevertheless, the enemies attacked, and they all focused on her.

Elise was suddenly surrounded by magic circles—Junhyuk didn’t know what that was—and from one of them, she pulled out an orb that looked just like her weapon.

There were five magic circles, and five copies of her weapon appeared. There was a flash of light, and the six weapons, counting her original, released a massive beam. The force of the beam pushed the enemy team like a hurricane, sweeping through all of them.

The enemy champions were in tatters. One of them died due to receiving a critical hit from the beam.

Junhyuk pumped his fist and shouted, “Elise!”

The enemies looked exhausted, and the allied champions killed them easily. The enemy castle was destroyed soon after. The allies had won.

Junhyuk turned to Ariel and asked, “Did she just activate a power?”

[Yes. Her rate of activation is very high. Still, she is now a hero.]

“Her activation rate is high?”

[Among all humans, her rate is the highest, and by far. The amount of times she died this time enabled her to become a hero.]

“OK. Can Elise join my team as our new hero?”

Ariel shook her head and said, [Her items are not that great. Do you still want her?]

Her powers were substantial, and Elise would only grow. Junhyuk wanted her on his team.

“Is that possible?”

[You’ll need a consensus from your team members.]

Junhyuk wanted Elise. She needed more items, so if she died, she would be dropped from the team automatically, but he would help her.

“How do I get permission?”

[I’ll connect you with them right now. All of them were watching this battle.]

Projections of Sarang, Gongon and Layla appeared.

“Did you all see that Elise has activated another power?” he asked them.

Everyone nodded, so he said, “I want Elise to join our team, but I need your agreement.”

Sarang answered right away, “I agree with that!”

Junhyuk turned to the others, and after some thought, Gongon said, “I agree. Her ultimate is awesome!”

Junhyuk looked at Layla, but she said, “I’m not sure she will fit our team. What about the other potentials? Wouldn’t that be better?”

“That’s a gamble. Elise needs items, sure, but her powers are useful, and we’ve worked together. Any other hero wouldn’t adapt to us as well. She’s the better choice.”

“Gambles are not interesting.”

“Right.”

Layla took a moment to think and said, “OK. Let her join us. We’ll still be missing a champion, though.”

“Right, but we could raise another.”

From that point on, the allies didn’t have a champion. They would have to get a novice that would eventually grow into a champion, but novices only had one life.

Junhyuk turned to Ariel and said, “We’ve agreed. Can she join our team now?”

[Yes, Elise is in your team now.]

Junhyuk smiled and asked, “What about my winnings?”

[The final rate of return was set for 100 percent. I’ll place the money in your account right now.]

“When is the next Champions’ Battlefield?”

[At noon.]

Ling Ling would fight later in the day, which would give Junhyuk time to talk to Elise first.

“OK, see you then.”

[See you soon.]

Junhyuk exited the training facility and teleported to Elise’s room. In his training facility, he could train without interruption.

Elise was just standing there, staring blankly at something. She was a hero now, but her power activation had been different from his.

Junhyuk was curious about how she had become a hero. He waited for her, and soon, Sarang showed up.

Junhyuk closed Sarang’s mouth before she could yell out. He watched Elise. Still with a blank expression, she pounded against her keyboard, typing furiously.

Once Elise completed what she was doing, she felt him there and turned to look at him.

When she saw them both looking at her, she asked, “When did you come in?”

“As soon as I got back from watching your battle. You were deep in thought, so I waited.”

Elise smiled and said, “I got a hint for a new item, so I had to write it down.”

“Congratulations!”

After being congratulated on becoming a hero, Elise smiled and said, “Thanks. I can help out now.”
