Chapter 578: Offense and Defense 2
Only Halo remained. Running toward him, Junhyuk shouted, “Support me!”
In the battlefield, Junhyuk didn’t want to have unnecessary one-on-one fights.
At the same time, Halo was launching his sword high into the air, readying Rain from Above.
Junhyuk smiled. He still had his force field available, so he thought he would be able to win easily. He raised the force field around Halo, who wasted his ultimate while encased in the force field.
Clang!
Rain from Above couldn’t go anywhere, so Halo became nervous. Immediately seizing the opportunity, Sarang trigger her Thunderstorm within Junhyuk’s force field. There was no way out, and the thunderbolts crashed down on Halo.
Crraaaack, boom!
The loud explosion indicated that Halo had been hit. Junhyuk immediately made use of his Dimensional Slash.
Layla’s katana was already zooming through the air, and it pierced Halo’s chest. It wasn’t an ultimate, but the damage was significant. Her weapon was at +20.
Halo could see that his Rain from Above had failed, so he gripped his sword tightly and said, “This will be hard.”
When Junhyuk’s force field faded, Halo immediately started to retreat. Sarang cast lightning arrows at him, and Junhyuk and Layla chased after him to attack. After the Dimensional Slash, the Thunderstorm and Layla’s attack, Halo was left with 12 percent of his health.
The force field had prevented his attacks, but allowed the allies to land all of their attacks. All three of them were still attacking Halo, but the hero smiled coldly and spun his sword.
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
Halo had used his sword shield, and it had protected him of all incoming attacks. After that, he immediately retreated toward the watchtower, so Junhyuk shouted, “Catch him!”
Halo’s goal was to fight alongside the watchtower, but the hero had used all of his powers, so he was having a hard time getting back.
The three heroes attacked Halo, who finally died. While Halo was fading, he smiled at them and said, “There’s nothing I can do about the numerical superiority. See you soon.”
Junhyuk picked up the item dropped by Diane, and Layla picked up the item Halo dropped.
When she inspected the item, she smiled and said, “I’ll just equip it!”
Junhyuk inspected the item Diane had dropped. It had been upgraded fifteen times.
“I can sell this.”
The items were expensive now, and those who only assisted in the kills wouldn’t make a lot of money out of the battle.
Junhyuk caressed Sarang’s head and said, “When I sell my items, I’ll give you some of the money.”
“No. I’ll kill and get my own items. I don’t want to share. It’s OK.”
“Yeah?”
Sarang had a bigger damage capacity than him. She could certainly deliver the last hit, so Junhyuk agreed with her. Right now, everyone was dirt poor.
There was a limit to how strong he could get with the amount of gold he had, so Sarang should get her own items. Once they were done, he would ask the other allies about their situation.
Junhyuk gave the enemy minions a chance to run away, and they did just that. After that, he contacted Gongon. Diane and Halo had gone his way, which meant that Gongon would go up against Nudra, who was the dragon’s teacher.
Gongon smiled and said, “I took care of things here.”
“You killed him?!”
“It was a successful surprise attack! We’re winning!”
The first fight at the buff tower had been huge for them. After that, they’d managed to kill each of the enemy heroes. To them, they would seize that advantage and finally win the round.
Junhyuk told both women to advance and went back into the forest. He went out to hunt the buff monster, but things didn’t go as he expected.
Not finding the monster, he closed his eyes and felt for the roads he had used. He didn’t know any coordinates, but he could feel the locations he had passed.
He teleported. When he reappeared, he looked around and found himself standing at the buff tower. The minions were staring at him, so he smiled at them and said, “Success!”
Junhyuk couldn’t teleport with other heroes yet, but he could return to where he had been before. Now, he could get back to anywhere anytime.
He told the allies about his new ability, and everyone was excited about it.
“You should run around everywhere,” Gongon said.
“I can’t cover the entire forest, but I’ll walk down every path.”
“OK. The first set of watchtowers have been destroyed, so get used to the paths toward the second set. That is a legendary ability.”
“I well.”
Vera and Artlan were climbing up the middle path, so Junhyuk went through the portal. Because the first set of towers was down, Junhyuk appeared went through the enemy-side portals. He could teleport to every portal in the map now.
When he got back, Junhyuk could no longer see Vera and Artlan coming up the mountain. They had to have gone buff hunting.
He decided not to look for them. There were teams of two moving up from the left and the right, so Junhyuk chose to walk up the paths some more.
He took off for the second tower on the left, teleporting and running down the path at incredible speed. When he got close enough to inspect the tower, he teleported to the portal on the right. There, he joined up with Sarang and Layla, who just happened to be passing by on their way to the second watchtower.
He could teleport to the left watchtower at anytime now. His ability was like having another ultimate.
Walking with Sarang, Junhyuk said, “Now that I have all locations in my head, I hope I can use this ability in the next round as well.”
“In the next round?”
“We’ll be fighting legends, so I hope it works.”
Sarang smiled and said, “Helen will be reaching the buff tower soon.”
“Sure, but there are only minions there now.”
“Where will they come from?”
Artlan and Vera were gone. They could end up on the right or the left. Gongon was on the left, and he wouldn’t be easy to put down.
Junhyuk could join any group at any moment with his new teleportation ability.
When they reached the second watchtower, they saw the enemy heroes waiting for them.
It was Diane and Halo again, but this time, they were using the watchtower to fight. The allies had the numerical advantage, so they decided to push on.
The watchtower was an issue, but Junhyuk decided he would kill Diane first and destroy the watchtower right after.
Choosing to save his teleportation, Junhyuk walked forward. His goal was to kill both heroes, but as he walked ahead, he suddenly felt a nervous chill.
He looked around, but saw nothing unusual.
He kept on. Diane was watching him, walking with him but keeping herself out of his range. She came as close as possible.
Junhyuk wanted to close in, but suddenly, a meteor shower crashed down on the allies.
Boom, boom, boom!
The meteor shower took a while to prepare, and it was definitely something that should be shut down before it triggered. However, Junhyuk had been too focused on Diane, so Vera hit them all.
Vera’s ultimate. Junhyuk lost a massive chunk of his health, so he teleported forward, taking both women with him toward Diane. A firewall rose on the spot he had been standing. Junhyuk used his spatial sense to inspect his surroundings and concluded that Vera was within the reed fields.
Both Vera and Diane were dangerous, but Junhyuk knew he had to kill Diane first. She hadn’t used her powers yet.
Clang!
Dianed shot regular arrows while distancing herself from the allied heroes. Junhyuk had to kill her at the first chance he got.
Junhyuk triggered his Spatial Collapse, and Sarang used her Thunderstorm. On top of that, the allies surrounded themselves with the force field.
Diane fell.
The allies had killed a strong damager, and now, Junhyuk wanted to use his Dimensional Slash against Vera, but Vera had already disappeared.
Junhyuk couldn’t sense her, but he could see Halo, who hid himself behind the watchtower. Halo hid himself at just the right time, preventing Junhyuk from using his Dimensional Slash.
He wanted to kill Halo, so Junhyuk teleported and gave chase.
At that moment, a shadow loomed over his force field. Artlan had jumped and was careening down toward them.
Boom!
The force field dug into the ground and got stuck there. Artlan started to retreat.
“Sarang!”
Sarang shot her electric blasts, and Halo and Artlan were paralyzed. Everyone focused on Halo. Junhyuk used his Dimensional Slash on the enemy hero, and Layla used her ultimate.
