Junhyuk went back to place where he had fought fiercely and looked for an item. Jean Clo has dropped one, and it looked like a big gear, similar to the item Regina had dropped before. He quickly inspected it.

Elite Breastplate Enhancement Gear (Socket Item)

Defense +10

Health +100

By simply socketing it, it increases defense and health. The item may be removed in exchange for another. It is expensive, but its effectiveness is well known. Defense increases by ten and health increased by a hundred.

Just like the item Regina had dropped, it could be socketed. However, this one was meant to be used on armors.

It could be socketed and removed at any time, and Junhyuk had no reason to refuse it. He would socket it and, if he ever changed his armor, he would socket it again into the new armor.

Then, he looked at the spot where Doctor Tula had died, thinking that he would've been furious if he had fought the doctor long enough for the item to disappear. He was lost in thought about the item for a long time when he suddenly heard a voice, "Junhyuk."

Junhyuk turned his head and frowned. Eunseo was standing there.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Aren't you Junhyuk?" He was about to deny it when she added, "When I fell from the cliff, and when Chinese agents attacked, on both occasions, I saw the ivory-colored force field."

He shut his mouth, and she continued with conviction, "And you were the only one in both places, Junhyuk."

Without knowing what to say, he just thought it over. She didn't speak anymore, staring at him instead.

Junhyuk realized he had nowhere to hide, so he got up slowly, looked at her calmly, and spoke in his own voice, "I thought you were unconscious when you fell from that cliff."

She shook her head in a deliberately large motion. He didn't speak, just staring at her, and eventually, she asked, "Why did you hide it?"

"I can't reveal my powers on Earth."

Eunseo wasn't stupid. When he said that, she understood everything and didn't question him further. He stared silently at her.

Eunseo hesitated, but she said slowly, "You were him." Then, she took a step toward him, looking up at his face, and said before he had a chance to speak, "Thanks."

Junhyuk smiled bitterly and responded slowly, "I don't want it to be known."

She nodded and agreed. Nothing good would come of revealing the Dark Knight's identity.

"When we return, I want to speak to you."

"Then, return alive at all costs."

"What can I do?"

Junhyuk grabbed her arm and said, "You must go to castle and not come out."

"But if I'm to learn about the Dimensional Battlefield…"

"You don't have to know," he continued curtly. "We will probably go kill a dragon. And dragons can kill you with just a regular swipe or by breathing fire."

Dragon hunting was not easy, and Junhyuk couldn't promise her safety. After saying that, she couldn't argue back. She wanted to stay alive and, when she returned to their world, she wanted to hear more from him. She didn't refuse Junhyuk anymore.

Then, Diane walked over and slapped Junhyuk's butt hard.

"I got it!"

Junhyuk was in the middle of a serious conversation, and he wanted to say some words to Diane about her interruption. However, he had a favor to ask her. He looked at Eunseo.

"You have to go back."

"I understand."

After hearing her answer, he sighed and looked at Diane.

"I have to go to the castle."

"By returning?"

"No. With the minions." She looked at Eunseo and added, "Hm… Do it. That will be safer." Then, she looked back and asked, "Does anyone want to go with them?"

Halo and Nudra shook their heads. They didn't want to go back to the castle. There was no reason to.

Junhyuk smiled bitterly and said, "You must be thinking about going to the Dimensional Merchant."

"Yep. You don't need help going back to the castle, right?"

He nodded calmly. Junhyuk could get back to the castle on his own without any help from the heroes because he wouldn't encounter any buff monsters on the way.

Diane looked at Sarang and asked, "Are you going with them?"

"Yes."

Halo, Nudra and Diane took some minions and were about to leave when Junhyuk went over to Diane.

"Diane, I have a favor to ask."

"What is it?'

"Do you remember giving me a leaf?"

"Ah! That? Of course, I remember."

"Perhaps, could I get its fruit or seeds?"

Her eyes widened slightly, and she stared at him.

"It's not hard to get them for you, but it's not a good idea to take items from the Dimensional Battlefield to your dimension."

"I know."

"Good," she said, petting Junhyuk's butt. "Then, I will see you later."

She took the minions with her, and Junhyuk sighed. Eunseo was the only minion he took with him. He felt guilty about not taking the others, but that was all he could do. Minions were necessity in battle.

He didn't have to worry about getting back from the castle. He would meet Artlan and Vera there, and they would head straight for the dragon.

Junhyuk took Eunseo and moved with Sarang. While walking, Eunseo kept looking at Sarang until she asked Junhyuk, "She has two powers. Can you tell me more about her?"

"I can't," he answered curtly. She had found out who he was, but she could not find out about Sarang.

Eunseo nodded slowly and added, "OK. I accept that."

She was no longer interested in Sarang, and Junhyuk walked with them.

s

"Guardians favors people with powers," Eunseo told Sarang.

Sarang shrugged, but didn't say anything back. Then, Junhyuk told Eunseo, "To be honest, I can't help Guardians."

"What do you mean?"

"Giant bears showed up when I killed the monsters at the Han River, and that only happened in South Korea. I knew it then that if I killed the monsters, stronger monsters would come,"

"Are you sure?"

"Even if I'm not sure, there is high probability that that's the case. I can't kill the monsters on Earth."

"Too bad."

He didn't want to speak further, and picked up the pace with them, "Let's hurry back to castle. There are monsters roaming around here, so it's not safe."

"Sure."

The two sped up right as a monster came out of the reed field. Junhyuk frowned at it.

"It's here as well?"

He had only seen that monster in South Korea, the monster with the thick-layered shell. It was only about three meters tall, so not too tall.

"It's really sturdy!"

Junhyuk had crushed one with his bare hands before, and he had his swords at that moment, so he was not scared.

He used the Spatial Slash on it. The monster had been confidently rushing against them, but blood gushed out of its neck. Junhyuk frowned.

"It really is dense…"

He teleported and stabbed the wounded area with his sword. The Frozen Rune Sword stuck to it, and the monster stomped the ground and swiped with its tail. Junhyuk kicked its stomach, took a step back and ran at it again.

The monster opened its mouth, and Junhyuk stabbed into it with his sword. After, the monster shook, and Junhyuk forced the sword in deeper. It pierced the monster's head, and blood fell from the opening.

The monster had been too confident, and he had killed it easily. After it was gone, he could see it had left something behind.

"It wanted to give me something."

He picked it up and checked it out.

Garial's Shell (Ingredient)

Defense +5

The monster's shell. Its thick skin is used on shields. When used as a shield ingredient, it increases defense by five.

Junhyuk looked at the item and said, "This monster is called a garial."

"A garial?"

He placed the shell into the Spatial Bag and said, "I won't get much for it, but it will help."

Sarang laughed, and Eunseo asked.

"Where can he sell it?"

"There is a place called the Dimensional Merchant. It buys everything from every dimensions. It'll buy this item as well."

"Really?"

She was in business herself, so she wanted to know more about the Dimensional Merchant.

Junhyuk walked fast.

"We have to hurry."

"Let's."

The appearance of the monster had scared Eunseo, and she followed, staring at Junhyuk's back. The iron soldier had had a hard time killing garials, but Junhyuk had killed one with ease. She felt bad that he couldn't fight on Earth. With his help, the monsters would be easily killed there.

They arrived at the castle without encountering any more monsters. Before reaching the castle, Junhyuk bumped on Artlan and Vera, who had fifty minions with them. They waved him down.

"Where are you going?"

"I am taking Eunseo Kim to the castle."

"Yeah?" Artlan agreed with the move. "Good thinking. We can't be burdened while we fight our enemies."

Junhyuk nodded.

"We can't take her when we go dragon hunting."

"Can we come?" Vera asked.

"No, just tell me where you are headed."

"We are going to the Dragon's Valley."

"I'll join you soon."

Artlan nodded and left with Vera while Junhyuk ran with Eunseo and Sarang. He took Eunseo inside the castle and said, "Even if the heroes take the minions with them, don't go with them. I will tell the heroes about you."

"Thanks," she said gratefully, knowing she could return alive.

Junhyuk looked at her, saying, "The battle might take longer than expected. Don't come out from here."

"Sure."

Then, he added calmly, "If you are curious about somethings, don't try to find out about it. I will tell you about it once we return to our own dimension."

"Got it. I'll stay here no matter what."

Junhyuk left Eunseo inside the castle and walked out with Sarang.

"I wanted to hide it, but she found out."

"What are you going to do?"

"What do you mean?" Junhyuk looked at the castle where Eunseo was waiting with the other minions and said, "Now that it's been disclosed, I'll find a way to use that to my advantage."

He had meant to leave Eunseo. He had meant to quit the company so that he wouldn't had to deal with her. Now, a change had to be made in their relationship.

Junhyuk looked at Sarang and said, "Let's hurry. They have minions with them, so we can catch up."
