While training, Junhyuk realized he had changed a lot. He didn’t have to eat nor sleep; he didn’t feel tired. Junhyuk was different from regular humans now.

There were times he didn’t feel human, but he still thought of himself as human. He was more than human, but he did not want to give up his humanity.

Junhyuk told himself that he was human while he trained. At some point, Junhyuk contacted Gongon and invited him over. Gongon handed him a bracelet when he showed up.

“Wear this. It’ll save the coordinates to my lair.”

“Will that change anything?”

“If you can travel through dimensions, you can teleport to these coordinates.”

“Yeah? Then, go back. When I manage to teleport through dimensions, I’ll go.”

“Sure.”

Gongon left, and Junhyuk stared at the bracelet. The bracelet saved sets of coordinates within it. Junhyuk closed his eyes and teleported, but when he reappeared, he was still inside the training facility. He clicked his tongue and tried again.

It didn’t work the second time either. Junhyuk focused on increasing the amount of Harmonizer within his body. It was now well beyond what he had thought to be the limit. At that point, he teleported again and felt himself coming up against a dimensional wall.

The bracelet shone like a beacon, and a path opened up. Junhyuk went through the dimensional wall and felt his surroundings change.

“Am I really here?”

He saw Gongon in front of him and thought that Gongon’s real self looked very cute.

There was another being standing next to Gongon. He was a really handsome man with blond hair tied up in a bun. The man had his arms crossed as he looked at Junhyuk.

“This must be Junhyuk.”

“Did you see? I gave him the coordinates, and he crossed over to our dimension.”

“I thought only managers could do that. I can’t do it. I’m envious.”

“Who would that be?”

“I’m Gongon’s father, Tetrashell.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Junhyuk Lee. I’m Gongon’s teammate in the Dimensional Battlefield.”

“I’ve heard. And you two are in the finals?”

“Yes.”

Tetrashell looked at Gongon and said, “I didn’t think Gongon would make it to the final. Thanks for guiding him.”

“No. Gongon is the one helping me.”

Tetrashell waved his hand dismissively and said, “He’s only a hatchling, so he can’t be any help.”

Gongon kicked Tetrashell’s leg and said, “You’ve seen him, so you can go now.”

Tetrashell smirked and punched down toward Gongon’s head, but Gongon dodged the punch. A regular attack like that wouldn’t hit him. Junhyuk laughed, and Tetrashell scoffed at his son and waved his hand across the air.

A massive amount of mana ensnared Gongon, but the hatchling transformed and forced himself loose.

“You are something else!”

Tetrashell smiled at Gongon and said, “You need discipline.”

“My friend is here! I won’t stand for it!”

Dragons were the best at controlling magic, and their hearts were filled with mana. The Dragon Lord had enough mana within him to fill an entire core. He was a monster, but Gongon was still growing, so he was lacking mana within his heart.

Tetrashell laughed and replied, “I don’t want to fight you in your lair.” The handsome man turned to Junhyuk and added, “You should come to my lair sometime.”

Tetrashell disappeared, and Junhyuk was left speechless.

“Should I learn how to figure out coordinates?”

Gongon laughed at him and said, “Your bracelet can remember up to five sets of coordinates.”

“To any dimension?”

“That’s right.”

“I don’t know how to input coordinates.”

After some thought, Gongon said, “Vera can teach you.”

“But I have to meet her first.”

“Yeah. After we win, invite her to your facility.”

“Right.”

“Can you dimensional shift with other humans?”

“I don’t think so, but I can try later.”

“You might be able to later. I’ll show you around my lair.”

Junhyuk wanted to see the dragon’s lair.

There was a room in the middle in the shape of a circle with a twenty-meter radius and many other rooms were connected to the circle room through hallways. Gongon showed him a room filled with gems and another filled with gold.

“I’m collecting these. I need a lot of money for something specific.”

Gongon showed him another room, one that was sealed with magic.

“What are you hiding in there?”

Gongon smirked and opened the door. When he looked through it, Junhyuk saw something he couldn’t believe.

“What is it?”

“I’m building it from the cores you used to power up.”

“Why did you make a battleship?”

“That’ll be my true lair.”

The battleship was at least five hundred meters long. There was magic engineering weaved in its construction, and cores were part of its makeup.

“It lacks true artificial intelligence, but it has an ego.”

“You can do that?”

Gongon laughed and said, “Guardians has built plenty of things with magic engineering.”

“You are really something.”

“Follow me.”

Gongo took him inside the battleship. It was huge, but Junhyuk noticed a locked room within.

When Gongon opened it and showed him the inside, Junhyuk saw all the stuff within and laughed.

“You really have been collecting.”

“Yes. When I become a legend, I won’t be able to go to the battlefield anymore. I need to stock up.”

“This is too much. There are tens of thousands in there.”

“Magic engineering can’t make those.”

Gongon had a lot of gold, but he didn’t use it to purchase items. Instead, he had been gathering as much Anders Tribe candy as he could.

With a smirk, Gongon said, “This room has a state-of-the-art security system. Even my Lord can’t open it, and my father can’t pierce through the battleship’s security.”

“Do both dragons and humans know magic engineering here?”

“No. Only a few dragons can know about the cores. The humans know nothing. There are times when humans can make things that threaten us.”

Humans couldn’t defeat dragons normally, but with magic engineering, it might be possible.

Looking at Gongon, Junhyuk asked, “Is it operational?”

“I’ve installed more cores, so it’s moving now. Come here.” Gongon showed him a large room. Laughing, he said, “These will be my sleeping quarters when I grow bigger. Elise.”

“What?”

Still smirking, Gongon said, “My disciple’s name. That’s the name of the battleship’s ego.”

“Gongon…”

“Elise, we will fly together soon!”

“Fly?”

Gongon smirked again. The walls were covered in monitors, and there were numbers on all of the screens.

“Lair No. 001 is now operational.”

Woo, woob, woo, woob!

Suddenly, the screens showed images of the outside, and the roof of the hangar opened up. The battleship rose vertically. Junhyuk was surprised to see that it had taken flight.

Gongon said, “Let’s go outside.”

“Sure.”

Gongon took him to the flight deck, and Junhyuk looked around. He had arrived there with his first dimensional shift, but Gongon’s planet had a blue sky just like Earth’s.

He could see mountains, rivers and an ocean. He also saw castles.

“Is this country part of the human territory?”

“Correct. They are primitive.”

“You won’t teach them more?”

“I’m not supposed to teach beasts.”

“Where did you hear that?”

Gongon chuckled and walked across the deck.

“I’m studying multiple dimensions and using this battleship as my training facility.”

“Is that even possible?”

“I’m a dragon.”

Junhyuk laughed out loud. Dragons were really lucky and intelligent by nature.

Only Elise could measure up to dragons as a human. Sarang had intelligence runestones, but she lacked Elise’s creativity.

Gongon said, “Artlan’s team will be a problem, but can we defeat the legendary team after?”

“I won’t be easy, but I won’t die that easily either.”

Junhyuk didn’t know if the legends still had their items, but the legends’ items couldn’t be better than his. He had purchased the battlefield versions of their items and upgraded them, so he was sure that he could fight against legends now.

Gongon looked at him and said, “Right. I don’t think I’ll lose fighting with you.”

“Me either.”

Gongo laughed, “Ha-ha-ha! Of course! DId you see my upgraded weapon?!”

“Sure! I want you to do my upgrades for me.”

“Is that possible?”

“Not sure, but I’m going to try more upgrades.”

“If you need gold, tell me. I can help you out.”

“Where would you get that gold?”

Gongon chuckled and said, “I’m winning a lot in the Champions’ Battlefield.”

“Who do you bet on?”

“That’s a secret, but I used my analytical skills to give me an 85-percent chance of winning with high returns.”

“You should tell me!”

“But I’m not always sure.” After that, Gongon added, “I’ll show you my world.”

“Is this thing fast?”

“It is. Expect high speeds.” With a grin on his face, Gongon shouted, “Elise! Full speed ahead!”

The cores released a wave of energy, and the battleship absorbed it all. Junhyuk could feel the power of magic engineering coursing through the ship. The battleship broke the sound barrier, but the wind felt refreshing against his skin.

It felt like a breeze to him. Gongon walked up next to him and asked, “How are you?”

“You should build me a battleship.”

Gongon laughed out loud.
