Chapter 299: Activation 1
Junhyuk was planning on using his Spatial Slash if the enemies got closer to him. But first, he had to take care of the enemy minions.
Junhyuk was also expecting one more enemy to appear, the expert. He stepped forward. Among the enemies, only the expert could hide and sneak on Junhyuk. The expert’s hiding power also lasted surprisingly long.
If that expert became a champion, he would become extremely bothersome. In the situation he was in, Junhyuk wanted to coax the expert out. Although the expert’s sneak attack was quite painful, Junhyuk would endure it. He was sure that if he survived the attack, he would be able to kill the expert.
He saw the five hundred minions running toward him, and their approaching stampede was quite the scene. However, Junhyuk did not waver, nor was he scared. Unbothered by the enemy minions, he looked far into the distance to where the enemy heroes were.
Junhyuk’s movement speed was so high that it enabled him to take the lead from the allied minions. The enemy minions, wielding dual swords, tried to cut him.
Slas.h.!.+
As an enemy minion was sliced in half, a shockwave was generated that divided the enemy’s frontline, and Junhyuk ran forward, pa.s.sing the fountains of blood he had created.
He was getting closer, and the enemy heroes clicked their tongues. Aak stepped forward by himself, but Tuelus’ machines were floating above his shoulder. Junhyuk, curious about how the two machines had gotten there, gritted his teeth. Aak was coming for him, so he couldn’t stay there. Aak’s attack stat was enormous, and Junhyuk was well aware of that.
When he saw Aak running toward him, he did not hesitate. He stabbed an enemy minion and used the Spatial Slash right after. Aak didn’t see it coming due to the minion blocking his vision, and suddenly, the Spatial Slash cut through his neck.
“Ugh!”
Junhyuk realized just how strong Aak’s defense really was. The attack was a critical hit, but Aak only lost 12 percent of his health. Junhyuk watched as the enemy minions were swept up by the shockwave and retreated.
Aak saw Junhyuk hide among the allied minions and swung his arms around roughly, tearing minions down like paper.
Junhyuk sighed, teleported back to the castle wall and saw the enemy heroes run toward the castle. Aak had already been hit by the Spatial Slash, so the enemies meant to finish the job. Junhyuk wanted to stay for another thirty seconds until his Spatial Slash came off cooldown again, but he knew he couldn’t.
The only purpose the allied minions that were in front of the enemy heroes served was to slow them down. However, there were still plenty of enemy minions.
Junhyuk had cut down their numbers, but not by much. Aak had joined the fray quicker than he had expected.
Junhyuk had reappeared where Sarang was, and looking at her, Vera laughed and said, “While they are destroying the gate, we’ll attack. You take her inside.”
“Will she wake up if I take her inside?”
“The mana flow only goes so far as the castle wall. When the mana supply stops, she’ll wake up.”
He nodded, picked her up and teleported, running the rest of the way inside of the castle with Sarang in his arms.
The heroes who were staying next to the giant golems asked when they saw her, “What’s wrong with Sarang?”
“She was training and fell asleep.”
Artlan laughed and pointed to the back.
“Take her inside. She can’t stay here anyway.”
“Sure.”
By the time he took her inside the castle’s force field, she was already waking up and slowly opening her eyes.
“Big brother?”
“That’s right. It’s me.”
Sarang looked around and asked, “Why am I in here?”
“You were training and fell asleep. You were still sleeping when the enemies came.”
She smiled bitterly.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s OK. Just stay here,” he said and went outside.
Sarang moved around inside the castle’s force field in order to catch a glimpse of him leaving.
Junhyuk walked outside and stood next to the heroes and the giant golems. Vera and Diane jumped down from the castle wall and ran to them.
“Get ready. The gate is coming down soon.”
While Vera and Diane joined the rest of the heroes, the gate was destroyed, and the enemies entered the castle. There were a hundred enemy minions still alive. Aak had 80 percent of his health, and the others still had around 90 percent. Diane and Vera were still attacking them from afar.
When Junhyuk saw the enemies, he said, “When the minions get closer, I’ll deal with them.”
The allies had enough minions. They had stationed some minions on the castle wall, who were now coming back in. The allies had prepared everything, and Aak slowly walked toward them.
Aak had lost some health, but he was still hard to deal with. Meanwhile, Junhyuk looked for the enemy expert. When the insect-looking expert looked at Junhyuk, he tapped his chin.
Aak, still a fair distance, folded his arms and shouted, “Attack!”
They were legend candidates. Once Aak gave out the order, the enemy minions ran forward. However, Junhyuk knew that if he stepped forward, Aak would run forward as well. He needed to save the Spatial Slash, so he remained still.
Reading the situation, Artlan shouted, “Stop them!”
The allied minions moved, holding their s.h.i.+elds up to block the enemy minions. The minions were all mixed up now, and Junhyuk saw Aak moving. If Junhyuk stayed alive, he would be able to help the allies later, so he hid behind the allied heroes and watched the enemies get closer.
His Spatial Slash was a long-ranged attack, and the enemy minions were already within range, but if Aak fought the allied heroes, he would also be within range.
As the enemy minions approached, the giant golems started moving. With them, the allied heroes started moving as well.
Even without using their powers, the allied heroes still had really powerful attacks. The heroes slashed through the minions and approached the enemy heroes. When Artlan saw Aak, he said, “Let’s attack the back of their formation.”
The allies wanted to leave Aak for the giant golems, and Junhyuk nodded in agreement. Considering Aak’s monstrous defense and health, it would be best if the golems fought against him.
Artlan scoped out the back of the enemies’ formation and jumped. Aak had been at the front, but Artlan jumped over him, aiming for Tuelus. Aak turned to look, but Halo and Nudra had already followed Artlan, and Vera and Diane were preparing their attacks.
Suddenly, a giant golem kicked Aak.
Boom!
Aak blocked the attack with his arms, and Junhyuk became a bit scared of Aak’s skills. He had blocked the giant golem without being pushed back. He was a monster.
Aak pushed the golem’s foot aside and ran forward. He had seen that Tuelus was under attack, but he targeted Vera and Diane instead.
Worried, Junhyuk said, “Let’s go past him.”
He touched Vera and Diane and teleported over Aak, and the hero started chasing him instead.
The allies all attacked Tuelus. Artlan had jump-attacked the hero, while Halo used his flash attack. Tuelus was losing health fast, and without hesitation, Junhyuk used the Spatial Slash on him. It hit the hero’s neck, leaving him with 30 percent of his health.
Tuelus combined his two floating machines into one, but the allies couldn’t allow him to use his ultimate, so Junhyuk quickly raised his force field.
All of the allies were inside the force field when the giant flash of light hit the force field. The flash disrupted the allies’ vision, but the attack bounced off the force field, and Junhyuk shouted, “Kill him now!”
Vera and Diane attacked at the same time. Keros intervened, however, parrying Diane’s attack, and taking the hit from Vera’s magic.
Tuelus was retreating from the battle, and the allies might lose him.
Artlan threw his saber, and Tuelus machines parried the attack, but he still received a bit of damage from it.
He was getting away and might even be able to escape. Junhyuk was about to teleport when Nudra jumped high up. Nudra could tell Tuelus’ health was minimal now.
Boom!
Nudra kicked down on the hero’s head, and Tuelus disappeared. Without the force field, the allies couldn’t have pulled that off, but with the force field, the allies took care of business.
Artlan’s eyes beamed, and he shouted, “Kill Lujet!”
Lujet could summon the demon, so the obvious thing was to kill him before he could do it. The allies chased after Lujet, but Klamp and Keros blocked the way.
Junhyuk looked at Aak and saw something that left him speechless. Aak was killing a giant golem by himself.
Knowing that his attacks wouldn’t work against the force field, Aak had focused on a giant golem. It took a lot of damage to destroy a golem, but Aak had done it already. However, now he only had 50 percent of his health left.
Klamp blocked the allies’ path.
Nudra decided to leave the force field and was immediately under attack from the enemy. Lujet fired the missiles from his fingers at him, and Nudra used both of his arms to block them. However, the missiles exploded, and Nudra lost 45 percent of his health at once. Then, Keros swung his ma.s.sive sword at Nudra’s ribs. Nudra used his speed boost to escape the attack and close in on Lujet. Then, he kicked the hero toward the allied camp.
Lujet was launched toward the allies, and Vera set a fire orb on his path.
Boom!
Diane shot her multishot at him as the fire orb exploded, but Klamp parried Diane’s arrows.
Klamp ran toward the force field. He had timed correctly for the force field’s disappearance and stood in front of the allies just as it faded. There, Klamp extended both hands forward.
Junhyuk thought about teleporting, but there was no one directly in front of Klamps hands. Then, Klamp pulled someone toward him.
Aak smiled from ear to ear. Klamp had pulled him, and Aak was now standing directly in front of the allied line. Then, Aak stomped the ground.
Boom!
With the exception of Nudra, all other allies were stunned.
