Chapter 500: Get to the Center 2
All of the allies gathered at the top of the mountain while the enemies gathered at their remaining watchtower in the middle path. Junhyuk could see all of the enemies except for Aktur, and that worried him.
“Shall we go?”
The allies had received the tower’s buff, so it was time to run down and fight. But, Aktur being gone was concerning.
The allied group ran toward the enemies. The allies had been under duress due to Aktur’s power, but now that they were together, it wouldn’t work as well. They planned on shutting him down.
The allied group approached the enemy watchtower, and the enemies moved out first. As they stepped forward, Junhyuk shouted, “Wait! Let’s introduce ourselves before we start fighting. I’m Junhyuk Lee.”
The giant robot stopped, and the other robots did as well. The rest of the allies did the same.
“My name is Trarune.”
The voice sounded mechanical. Junhyuk looked at the other robots, and the android stepped forward.
“I’m Errune.”
The gray robot stepped forward and said, “I’m Blinka.”
He looked at the wheeled robot, who said, “I’m Edrol.”
Junhyuk nodded at the robots, and Gongon and the others stepped forward and introduced themselves.
He smiled brightly then and said, “OK. I just wanted to know the name of the robots I’ll be killing. Attack!”
When the allied minions rushed forward, Trarune stepped forward mightily. Junhyuk measured the distance between the enemies and the allies. He had a seventy-meter range Spatial Slash now and he wanted to kill one of the heroes before Aktur joined the fight.
Junhyuk decided to target Errune, who had long range attacks. He wanted to kill him first, so he used his Spatial Slash. Suddenly, Errune was covered in bones.
Crack!
The Spatial Slash destroyed the bone armor, but Errune was unhurt. As soon as the bones appeared, he guessed what had happened.
“Welcome.”
Aktur appeared next to Errune. He had used his ultimate to join the battle.
The enemies didn’t really know about Junhyuk’s powers yet, so seeing the long range fighters bunched up by the watchtower, Junhyuk used his Spatial Collapse.
Crrrraaaack!
He had targeted Aktur, who was unable to dodge. Seeing that his attack had landed, Junhyuk ran forward. Gongon enlarged and ran with him.
Aktur had Perfect Evasion, so he was a difficult enemy to engage. Nevertheless, Junhyuk and Gongon had decided previously to take him out first.
Trarune stepped forward to meet Gongon, spewing a green liquid toward the hatchling. Junhyuk grabbed Gongon and teleported.
The two appeared behind Trarune and Blinka. Junhyuk slashed, and Gongon used his headbutt, which normally dealt a lot of damage. However, this time, Gongon merely passed by Aktur. Since Gongon had fought Aktur before, he wasn’t surprised by that and immediately turned around and used his firebreath.
The enemy heroes were damaged by the Spatial Collapse and by the firebreath, which covered a wide area. All three enemies were damaged, and Junhyuk smiled happily.
Suddenly, bolts of lightning crashed down from the sky.
Crraaack, Boom!
With some luck, that would be enough to kill Aktur.
All three powers—the Spatial Collapse, the firebreath and the Thunderstorm—hit Aktur, and the hero died. Seeing that, Junhyuk swung his swords left and right. He wanted to finish the others.
Blinka released a wave of energy, and when the energy touched Junhyuk, he knew he was stunned. Once stunned, all enemy heroes attacked him.
Edrol attacked him first. The rest of the allies had also been stunned by the wave, so Edrol’s beams swept through all of them. That was its ultimate.
Junhyuk was hit head on, and he lost 12 percent of his health. The ultimate also dealt fixed, continued damage. From now on, he knew that if he didn’t dodge that blast, he would lose a bunch of health.
A second passed, and Junhyuk lost another 12 percent of his health. He scowled. He had lost a total of 24 percent of his health. Even for an ultimate, that was a lot of damage.
The enemies focused on him. Blinka punched him, and Errune shot out a ball of light. Trarune kicked his back.
Junhyuk was launched toward the watchtower, and the archers attacked him.
Because he was stunned, Edrol’s ultimate, and Errune’s and Trarune’s attacks, followed by the archers’ volley, took a toll on him.
Junhyuk finally regained his movement, and Sarang’s heal was off cooldown, so she used it on him. However, his health was still just barely above half of its total.
The allies could all move again, so Sarang shot blasts at Errune and Edrol.
Junhyuk wanted payback for what Errune had done, so he attacked the robot with Dentra’s Magic Sword while Gongon kicked the hero on the side.
Errune was a vanguard, so while both attacks weren’t critical hits, they both dealt heavy damage.
Elise and Layla attacked the hero as well, and Errune disappeared after being launched into the air. Layla turned to Edrol, who had regained his movements and split in two to avoid her attack.
Junhyuk slashed at Edrol. He attacked the half that was farthest away with Aksha’s Longsword and the one closest with Dentra’s Magic Sword.
Though he could attack both parts, Trarune closed in on him, punching at him, so he had to change focus and engage the hero.
Clang!
Junhyuk got hit in the back and thrown toward the archers, who sent another volley toward him. He lost 15 percent of his health in one go and bit his lip.
Having a team battle next to a watchtower was dangerous.
Trarune raised its fists, and Junhyuk covered himself in his force field.
Boom!
The fists fell on the force field, digging it into the ground. Then, the enemy hero grew to the size of a giant golem.
That was exactly why Junhyuk had raised the force field. Ignoring Trarune, he targeted Edrol.
Everyone attacked Edrol, but the enemy hero boosted its speed and rushed toward the watchtower. The allies couldn’t let him escape, however, so Junhyuk grabbed Gongon and Layla and teleported.
They appeared right next to Edrol, and Layla used her ultimate, a slash combo. Edrol died.
Junhyuk turned to the two remaining heroes. He wouldn’t be able to kill them before the force field wore off, but he would kill them sooner or later.
The minions couldn’t destroy the watchtower yet. The important thing was to damage the enemy heroes.
Suddenly, a rain of knives fell on Trarune and Blinka. Rodrey’s ultimate covered the area and pierced through the enemy heroes.
Junhyuk ran toward them, and the force field disappeared. It would’ve been better if he had kept a certain distance from the enemy heroes, but Trarune bear hugged him. It was the hero’s ultimate, and Junhyuk couldn’t escape it. Trarune jumped while clutching Junhyuk, and released him in the air by the watchtower. The archers attacked him again.
The archers dealt fixed damage, so Junhyuk’s defense and total health held no meaning to them.
Seeing his health go down, Junhyuk scowled. He was very near death.
Rodrey’s knives slammed against Trarune’s back. The enemy hero’s defense was very high, but its attack stat wasn’t great. Nevertheless, the others attacked Trarune to rescue Junhyuk.
While archers attacked him, the allied heroes fought the enemy heroes.
Junhyuk wanted to keep going, but there was a limit to what he could do. He only had 15 percent of his health left, so he used his jump skill, jumping thirty meters at an angle to escape the range of the archers.
After that, he turned back to look at Trarune.
Only two enemies remained. Junhyuk was thinking he wanted to finish the fight when, suddenly, Blinka grabbed him and pulled him toward the watchtower again. The archers sent another volley in his direction, and Junhyuk scowled as he was hit five times.
He died, and the world turned black.
—
The harrowing void. Junhyuk was used to it now, but it still made him uneasy.
He used the time to analyze his swordsmanship. He had hit the bottom of the abyss and he used that to better himself.
After a while, he started rising again and regained consciousness.
Junhyuk grabbed his head. He had thought all he needed to do was kill Aktur, but he had been killed. Sighing, he inspected himself. What had he lost? His cloak! Junhyuk scowled.
“Shit!”
Junhyuk had lost one of the set effects from the Pure Golden Knight set. He had lost the chance to deal an extra attack at 50 percent damage.
It was the worst loss he could imagine at that point.
While he wallowing in it, Ariel asked, [Aren’t you going out?]
Junhyuk inhaled deeply. The Pure Golden Knight set was rather cheap when compared to his other set, but it wasn’t easy to acquire.
He couldn’t just stay there now.
“RIght, I have to keep going.”
Sets were nice, but they weren’t everything. The previous legendary heroes had equipped themselves with unique items, and those items then became legendary items.
“The Pure Golden Knight set was cheap.”
Those cheap items had set abilities, but they lacked individual strength. He would consider this loss his chance to acquire other items.
“I’m going back.”
