Chapter 502: The One Parting 2

After Wave of Fear hit, Junhyuk ran ahead and slashed at Trarune. He didn’t know where to attack the robot to deliver a critical hit, but because his items increased his rate of landing one, the strike was a critical. The rest of the allies attacked the hero as well, and before Wave of Fear wore off, Trarune died.

Meanwhile, Junhyuk was attacked by the archers, so he teleported away.

The enemies had killed Rodrey because they knew he was the weakest, but now, they were focused on Junhyuk. The archers’ attacks were more damaging than the heroes’ attacks.

After teleporting, Junhyuk slashed the minions with Aksha’s Longsword. Though Dentra’s Magic Sword had a higher attack stat, Junhyuk was more proficient with Aksha’s Longsword, and it worked better against multiple minions.

When the allied minions saw the enemy minions fall, they pushed forward. While the allied minions killed the rest of the enemy minions, Junhyuk turned to the gate.

The archers were focused on Gongon now, who was attacking while retreating. Junhyuk killed even more enemy minions before heading off to join Layla.

Getting rid of the enemy heroes was important, but more than that, they needed to get rid of the archers. Once the archers were gone, they would be able to attack the gate.

Gongon got out of the archers’ range and attacked the enemy minions. The allied minions could massacre the enemy minions with just a single hero helping them.

The enemy minions were all dead, so the allied minions attacked the gate. There were 172 allied minions left. The casualties had been high, but the surviving minions were of great help.

Finally, the gate was destroyed. Three enemy heroes were dead, so it was a good time for the allied forces to push through the enemy castle.

Junhyuk went through the gate, climbed to the top of the wall and started dispatching the archers. He watched as the enemy heroes ran away to join the golems.

Seeing them next to the two golems, Junhyuk smiled.

“Shall we kill one more before they retreat to the force field?”

“Have your powers come off cooldown?”

Junhyuk replied, “The Spatial Collapse hasn’t, but I can use the others.”

Sarang said, “My heal is still on cooldown, but I have access to everything else.”

“OK. Let’s go.”

The allies could definitely kill them with the force field, so it was better to decrease the number of living heroes.

Gongon transformed into a fully-grown dragon and flew off to attack the enemies from the back.

But, the enemies didn’t sit still. Edrol split and dodged the attack, and Errune used a giant golem as cover. Even so, they were still within range of the others’ attacks.

“Attack the golems!” Junhyuk shouted, and the minions rushed for the golems. At the same time, Layla moved. She dove forward in a flash, aiming at Errune.

Errune tried to escape, but he was launched into the air. At the same time, lightning bolts and the Spatial Slash hit the robot.

Clang!

Errune disappeared while still in the air, and Edrol retreated into the force field. It was time to finish the battle.

Junhyuk shouted immediately, “Destroy those golems!”

The enemy heroes hadn’t revived yet, so the allies had to be quick about destroyed the golems. All of the allied heroes attacked.

A hero would have a hard time killing a golem by themselves, but with the minions present, the golems’ health pools dropped in consistent percentages.

One of the golems was destroyed. It was easy to get rid of them without an enemy hero present.

After destroyed the first golem, Junhyuk attacked the second. At the same time, someone came out of the force field.

It was Aktur, who rushed out quickly, launched his bandages around Layla’s neck and pulled her.

Sarang cast her electric blast, and Aktur was paralyzed. Gongon moved toward Aktur. His ultimate had ended, so he headbutted the hero.

Junhyuk slashed at Aktur, but the hero dodged his attack even though he was paralyzed. It seemed like Perfect Evasion was still active.

Elise kept attacking the golem, eventually destroying it.

Junhyuk kept trying to hit Aktur, but when the hero regained his movements, he immediately retreated.

He could’ve bought time, but he wouldn’t be able to fight all of the allied heroes by himself.

After Aktur left, Junhyuk attacked the castle’s force field. The minions joined him, and Aktur sighed while watching them destroy his castle.

“We lost this time.”

“You made things difficult.”

Piercing through the middle was a good strategy, but it wouldn’t guarantee the allied team a future victory. With Aktur as an opponent, team battles wouldn’t be easy.

Junhyuk let Aktur know how he felt about the hero. While attacking the force field, he smiled and said, “See you next time.”

Junhyuk attacked harder, and the force field was destroyed.

He knew he would have to be smarter the next time he fought those enemies, more diligent.

The enemy heroes disappeared, and Junhyuk felt the blinding light against his eyes. He closed them, and when he opened them again, Ariel was with him.

[Congratulations on your continued streak!]

“This victory was costly.”

He had won, but he had lost one of his set items. Junhyuk would have to look for a unique item since the one he had lost couldn’t be replaced.

Ariel said, [I have something to tell you.]

“What is it?”

She said evenly, [By the conclusion of this battlefield, one of your allies has been deemed lacking in items and performance. He has been judged unfit for the current tier.]

“Rodrey?” Junhyuk guessed.

[Yes, the hero Rodrey will join another team starting next round.]

Rodrey had died a lot, but Junhyuk had not expected that.

He was sad, but not overly so. Junhyuk and Rodrey weren’t that good of friends.

Junhyuk had been with Sarang from the beginning and with Gongon since the Champions’ Battlefield. He knew Layla through Halo. But, Rodrey was new. He hadn’t contributed much, and now, they were parting ways.

“That’s too bad. Who’s our new teammate?”

[It might be someone dropping a tier or advancing a tier.]

“Yeah?”

Junhyuk wanted a sniper. He also wanted the new hero to have good items.

Since he didn’t know who it would be, he merely nodded. He would have to wait to meet the new hero.

“Can you give me information on the Champions’ Battlefield?”

[The return for Elise’s team is even lower than before. You’ll only win 50 percent of your bet.]

“The return is only at 0.5?”

[Correct.]

Junhyuk sighed and took a moment to think. Depending on how much he bet, 50 percent could be OK, but it was still a small amount.

“What about Ling Ling’s team?” he asked.

[The return is double.]

“That’s nice.”

[Ling Ling’s team isn’t as good as Elise’s team.]

After pondering things, Junhyuk said, “OK. I’ll bet 200,000G on Elise and 200,000G on Ling Ling. Is that OK?”

[Sure.]

“Then, I place my bets on both teams.” Looking at Ariel, he added, “See you next time.”

[Congratulations again!]

Junhyuk felt the blinding light against his eyes, and when he opened them, he saw Sarang looking at him.

“Big Brother. Rodrey is...”

“I heard about it.” Junhyuk scratched his cheek and said, “There’s nothing we can do. Maybe Rodrey died one too many times?”

“What if the new hero is a troll?”

“Our tier is too high. We won’t get a troll.”

“You are being too positive.”

Junhyuk turned to the sleeping Elise. It was good that she was sleeping since she barely slept normally.

“When are you going to invite Vera?” Sarang asked.

“Not today. She might be in the battlefield. Tomorrow or the day after should be good.”

Sarang smiled and said, “I’ll make her a gift!”

She left immediately, and Junhyuk laughed. Could Sarang find something that suited Vera?

Junhyuk was glad that Artlan liked to drink. He would get the best alcohol available on Earth for him, and Artlan would be satisfied with that.

Junhyuk would invite everyone, so he would need presents for the elf and the others.

Elise opened her eyes and yawned hard as she turned to him.

“What are you thinking about?”

“About presents.”

“Presents?”

“For my dimensional guests.”

Elise’s eyes beamed, and she exclaimed, “Tell me about their hobbies and characteristics! I’ll come up with presents!”

“Let’s do it together.”
