Chapter 42: New Weapon 2

Translator: - - Editor: - -

They walked out of the dimensional merchants, went through the forest and arrived at the enemy watchtower. They were situated on a road behind the watchtower. Just like the castle walls, the watchtowers had archers on standby.

Archers did not have a high attack power, but, when heroes were fighting nearby, there was usually magic involved to help allied minions and archers inflict heavy damage.

When there were no heroes fighting, they attacked minions who were simply passing by.

They didn’t usually guard the rears of watchtowers very well, since whoever was coming from behind had to go through a lot of obstacles.

Artlan scoped out the back road.

"We will pass the watchtower and attack from behind."

It wasn’t easy to pass by a watchtower. When the enemies ran back to their watchtowers, it was not easy to catch them.

Junhyuk worried, and Artlan looked at the minions.

"Our targets are the enemy heroes and not the watchtower. Get your shields up to guard against the rain of arrows and just run through. Don’t forget."

The minions were bait to draw the archers’ arrows. They nodded, and Artlan looked at Junhyuk and said:

"We are numerically superior, so don’t use your force field. Save it. The enemy will target you again."

"I understand."

Junhyuk nodded, and Artlan used his hand to signal. Soon, the minions got up, holding their shields.

"Move."

After Artlan spoke, the minions began moving. They were holding their shields and looked strained. Behind them, Sarang and Junhyuk followed.

The archers on the watchtower saw the minions and started shooting their arrows.

Thuck, thuck, thuck!

The arrows got stuck on the shields, and the minions didn’t die and started running. Junhyuk was following their lead when his eyes met with the eyes of one of the archers.

Junhyuk was not carrying a shield, and he was tall enough to make a good target. The archer shot, and the arrow left the bow and flew toward him. Junhyuk pulled out his sword.

He was holding his sword with his left hand and swung it.

Thung!

He hit the arrows accurately. Even though he was an expert, he was surprised with himself and with what he had just done. Artlan walked up from behind and said:

"You are very precise."

That could be because he had an accuracy runestone. Artlan ran forward, and Vera walked up next to Junhyuk.

"You need accuracy if you want to use dual swords, especially someone like you, who needs more training."

Junhyuk’s expression became rigid. Maybe he needed more runestones, but he had decided to spend his gold on the summoning magic for his longsword. He looked ahead.

They passed the watchtower, and, from far away, they saw Minota.

Halo was dealing with Minota, and they were evenly matched, going back and forth. Minota turned around to look, and the minions were drawing the archers’ arrows. Behind the minions, Artlan and Vera were approaching.

Minota tried to withdraw when he saw Junhyuk. Minota went straight for him.

Junhyuk knew Minota wanted to kill him. Halo slashed Minota from behind. His side was slashed, but Minota didn’t stop. Minota ran wild, and Artlan jumped up.

Artlan aimed his sabers at Minota’s head, but Minota blocked it with his arm.

Slash!

His arm was bleeding, but Minota pushed Artlan aside while he was still in the air. Minota had the size advantage, or maybe it had been because Artlan was in the air, but Artlan was pushed way back.

Vera understood why Minota was running wild and quickly made a firewall.

"Woo, woo, woo!"

He mooed from deep inside his belly and rushed through the firewall. Minota was running fast toward Junhyuk when Vera threw a fire spear. Junhyuk moved aside.

If he stood behind the minions, the minions would die needlessly.

While Junhyuk moved aside, Minota split in two using doppelganger. One of the Minotas fought Halo and Artlan while the other continued to run toward Junhyuk.

Minota went through Vera’s magic, and that scared Junhyuk. He consented that he was the bait to draw Minota.

Junhyuk put out his right hand.

"Summon."

A longsword appeared in his hand. He held his other sword with his left hand and looked at Minota.

Minota saw Junhyuk wan’t running away, rolled up his upper lip, and stomped the ground.

His rush was really fast. He had been far away just a moment ago, but now he was just in front of Junhyuk, who ran toward Minota.

To buy more time, he would use spatial relocation. Before he touched Minota’s horns, Junhyuk relocated.

At once, he was behind Minota, and he turned his body and saw Minota stopping. His spatial relocation distance had increased to twenty feet, and it only took Minota one or two steps to cover that distance.

Minota was trying to step on Junhyuk. If Junhyuk allowed that, he would die, so he stepped aside.

Thump!

The shock had been big enough to make Junhyuk leave the ground. He heard Artlan shout:

"Be careful!"

Junhyuk looked toward Artlan and saw Minota’s other half was running toward him. Artlan shouted as soon as Minota began to run, but Minota’s horn was already in front of him.

The ivory color exploded forward, and Minota’s horn hit Junhyuk.

Bang, bang!

Like a soccer ball, Junhyuk bounced off a long distance. He bounced toward the watchtower and slammed against it, which stopped him. Then, he saw both Minotas running toward him.

The force field lasted ten seconds.

To kill Minota within that timeframe, he had to stay close to the allied heroes. He didn’t retreat. Instead, Junhyuk ran toward the Minotas.

The Minotas lowered their heads and rushed, both rushing toward him.

He couldn’t escape both Minotas without his spatial relocation ability, so he was hit again and bounced toward the watchtower again.

Junhyuk felt the arrows dropping on his force field.

Minota was trying to corner him against the watchtower and save time. Minota was moving toward the watchtower when Artlan went for him.

Artlan stepped in front of Minota and swung his saber. He slashed Minota’s shoulder, but Minota ignored the pain and hugged Artlan’s waist.

Artlan scoffed, and swung his saber against Minota’s head. Minota tried to block the attack with his horn.

Thuck!

Minota’s horn was really strong and was not broken by the saber’s attack. Minota was still hugging Artlan when the archers started shooting their arrows. When archers attacked heroes, their arrows received a magical buff.

Artlan couldn’t deal with Minota while they were shooting arrows at his back.

He pulled out his other saber and stabbed Minota’s arm, but Minota kept running. Artlan knew he couldn’t dodge the arrows going for his back, and tried to slice Minota’s arm off.

Minota was still hugging Artlan when he rushed toward Junhyuk.

Junhyuk didn’t want to go bouncing again, so his back faced the watchtower.

Bang, bang!

Minota’s horn hit the force field, but Junhyuk was not pushed back. His back was on the watchtower, and he pushed Minota back instead.

Junhyuk had to seize that opportunity. Soon, the other Minota would be rushing toward him.

He had to take care of one of the Minotas at that moment.

Junhyuk ran toward Minota, and Minota lifted his paws up high. There was a little time left on the force field, and Junhyuk sped up.

Boom!

He barely escaped Minota’s paws. Then, Junhyuk turned around and swung his longsword.

Slash!

When he had been a novice, he hadn’t been able to scratch Minota. With his two-handed sword, he had only been able to scratch him, but now, he slashed Minota.

It wasn’t a deep cut, and Minota gave off heavy resistance. It took him more energy than when he sliced a minion in half, but the important thing was that he could hurt Minota.

Junhyuk managed to slash Minota’s Achilles’ tendon, and Minota staggered. Artlan had five arrows on his back and still swung his saber at Minota.

"Argh!"

Minota tried to strike Artlan with his horn, but Artlan made circles with his sabers and finally gouged out Minota’s eyes. Minota screamed, and Junhyuk looked back.

The remaining Minota was running toward him. That Minota had been deeply wounded by Halo’s and Vera’s attacks, but was already in front of Junhyuk.

Junhyuk stepped forward. He had two seconds left on his force field. He had to block the attack within that time.

Junhyuk went toward him, and Minota scoffed and rushed.

Bang!

He blocked the attack just before the force field disappeared. The watchtower stopped Junhyuk’s bounces again, and he watched the force field disappear.

Vera shouted at him:

"Move!"

One Minota had lost his eyes and got his neck cut off. The other Minota also had serious injuries, and there was some distance between Junhyuk and him.

What does she mean by move? He thought about it, but moved anyway.

Thuck!

An arrow penetrated his shin through his armor. The archers on the watchtower were all aiming at him. The problem was their bodies were shining.

That was because they were being helped by the watchtower’s magic. It was different from an ordinary attack. Their magic arrows even worked against heroes, and their arrows penetrated an expert’s armor as if it were a piece of paper.

"Ha-ha-ha! You will die in this place!"

The grievously wounded Minota cursed Junhyuk, and Junhyuk rolled on the ground. Even heroes had a difficult time blocking arrows. He was only an expert.

The arrows hit the spot where Junhyuk had been as he rolled.

Thuck!

He couldn’t dodge all of the arrows, and one of them hit his shoulder. He couldn’t even roll on the ground anymore because of the arrows on his shin and shoulder.

Then, Halo’s sword stabbed through Minota’s neck, and Minota fell down. Minota screamed and howled and looked at Junhyuk with a smile. He still wanted to kill Junhyuk, right up to the moment of his own death.

Junhyuk got angry. He could not die like that.

With the arrows stuck to his body, he rolled again, causing severe pain. Then, an arrow hit him on the ribs.

Minota smiled hard, and Junhyuk shouted:

"I’m not going to die, you filthy ox!"

Minota was disappearing, and Junhyuk moved by spatial relocation to stand in front of him.

Junhyuk pushed his longsword into the middle Minota’s forehead as Minota was disappearing.

Minota was dying and probably did not feel pain.

However, he still had the crazy, murdering spirit in his eyes.

Junhyuk was now well outside the range of the watchtower archers, and he shouted at Minota:

"Lower your eyes, you filthy ox!"
