Chapter 552: Thin Ice 1
Sarang had upgraded her items. However, she had put more emphasis on damage than defense, especially lightning damage.
The enemy attacks were ferocious. Bater raised his fists up high while Junhyuk ran toward him, and Doctor Tula fired missiles at Sarang.
Boom, boom, boom!
The missiles exploded, and Bater pounded his fists against the ground, creating a massive shockwave. Junhyuk had to stop running then, and Bater took the opportunity to run up to Sarang and punch her.
She had lost all of her health by that point, so her invulnerability triggered, and she survived the punch. When Junhyuk started running again, Bater frowned at failing to kill her and rushed toward him.
Junhyuk had used all of his powers, and the level of Bater’s skill was enormous. Bater rushed like a battering ram, swinging at Junhyuk as he approached. Junhyuk blocked the attack with his swords, but the impact pushed him back.
Boom!
When Junhyuk was pushed back, the riflemen shot at him from all around. The enemy minions were clashing with the allied minions, but even then, the enemy minions targeted him.
Normally, Junhyuk could’ve easily dodged their bullets. But he was in a fight against Bater, so he couldn’t spare the attention.
With every bullet that hit him, Junhyuk got closer to death.
He tried dodging some of them as he ran toward Bater, but Bater ducked and one-two punched at him. All of Junhyuk’s attention focused on the fists at that point. He didn’t want to be hit directly by them. He swung his swords trying to deflect the incoming fists, but he was still damaged.
While he managed to deflect the brunt the attacks, his health was starting to get low. He turned to look at Sarang thinking that, if she survived, they could overpower Bater, but she was having a tough time getting away.
Sarang was shooting her electric arrows at Doctor Tula, who was being damaged, but who kept on attacking her with his front legs.
Once her invulnerability faded, she would die.
Bater had already used all of his powers aside from his ultimate, so Junhyuk lengthened his sword and attacked Doctor Tula.
Even without powers, attacking Doctor Tula wasn’t hard. The hero was half machine, so he couldn’t deal with Junhyuk’s swordsmanship.
Junhyuk hadn’t stopped training on Earth.
His swords pierced through the doctor, and the doctor’s legs got all tangled. Junhyuk wasn’t really focused on attacking Doctor Tula, and sporadic attacks held no meaning.
Sarang’s invulnerability was nearly over, so she used her heal. He felt himself regaining health at the same time he got hit by Bater. However, he kept on running after Doctor Tula.
The doctor scowled and shouted, “Fire!”
The enemy minions were in a precarious position, but they followed the hero’s order and shot at him and Sarang. Sarang got hit a few times, but Junhyuk was hit as well.
Doctor Tula had 20 percent of his health left. If both allied heroes managed to land critical hits, the doctor would die.
Junhyuk was just about the pounce on the doctor when Bater’s fists rocketed out.
Boom!
Bater’s ultimate hit Junhyuk, launching him rolling forward and dealing 30 percent of damage to him. It was definitely an ultimate.
Junhyuk bit his lip and got up.
“Big brother!” Sarang shouted as Doctor Tula pierced her stomach with his front legs. Sarang lost most of her health then, and Bater punched her face right after.
She got launched into the air bleeding and faded away before she hit the ground. Junhyuk gritted his teeth then. He had 55 percent of his health left, so he swung Aksha’s Longsword at the doctor.
The sword slithered across the ground like a snake and launched up, piercing the doctor’s stomach like he had done with Sarang.
“Ugh!” Doctor Tula groaned.
The blade of Aksha’s Longsword shot up to the sky, slicing the doctor’s stomach open and severing the upper part from the bottom. Bater punched him again then, hard.
Junhyuk tried to block the attack with Dentra’s Magic Sword, but Bater deflected the sword with his other fist and pushed through. Junhyuk tried to dodge quickly, but his chin got grazed by Bater’s fist.
His skull shook from the graze, a critical hit.
Junhyuk was left off balance, so he couldn’t dodge Bater’s following attacked.
He was hit by an uppercut, and his body got launched into the air. Bater continued to punch at him, but Junhyuk eventually regained his composure and covered himself with his swords as the fists came down on him.
Clang!
By blocking regular attacks, he wouldn’t receive damage. He had overexerted himself in killing Doctor Tula, and Bater had seized that opening and attacked. When Junhyuk landed, Bater attacked him again.
Junhyuk parried the attacks while analyzing the situation. Bater’s cooldowns were shorter than his.
When Bater’s cooldown ended, the hero raised his hands up high. Junhyuk couldn’t dodge the shockwave, so he dashed forward. Knowing that he wouldn’t escape, he decided to get closer.
Bater pounded the ground, and Junhyuk was swept by the impact. He got pushed back, but he smiled with satisfaction. His own cooldown was nearly over.
While being launched back, Junhyuk used his Dimensional Slash against Bater’s neck.
“Ugh!” the hero groaned, and at the same time, Junhyuk swung Aksha’s Longsword. Bater grabbed the blade, and Junhyuk shortened it to close the gap between them and strike with Dentra’s Magic Sword.
Bater punched at Junhyuk, but Junhyuk stepped on his fist and jumped over the hero, slicing him from the back. Bater tried to turn around, but he had already been hit. After Junhyuk landed, he slashed the hero again.
Junhyuk had few attack powers, but Bater was different.
The hero smiled and him and rushed. The rush got Junhyuk’s health down to 12 percent. At the same time, he watched as Bater triggered another power: the one-two punch.
Junhyuk teleported away and stabbed Bater in the back of the knee. The sword pierced through, and right as Bater turned around, Junhyuk teleported again and stabbed up toward Bater’s jaw. However, Bater moved his head out of the way and dodged the attack. Nevertheless, Junhyuk’s second sword pierced through the hero’s stomach.
“Ugh!”
Bater lost the rest of his health. After killing Bater, Junhyuk sighed, relieved.
The riflemen shot at him, so Junhyuk turned around. The minions posed no problems now. Aksha’s Longsword swept through them like a wave.
After killing all of the enemy minions, Junhyuk ordered his own minions to destroy the watchtower.
Once the tower was in shambles, he sighed again. The battle had been fierce, and he had barely managed to survive. He had fought the enemies without his powers and managed to pull through.
Junhyuk picked up the items and noticed they were better than the one that had dropped before. After inspecting them, he contacted Sarang, who looked very angry.
“Did you kill them all?”
“Yes. I sliced Doctor Tula in half.”
“Good job.”
Junhyuk laughed. Sarang had been on the battlefield for a long time now, and her personality had changed because of that.
Junhyuk smiled and said, “This will be a long battle. It’s like we are walking on thin ice.”
Two of them had killed three, but the whole thing had been precarious. He had barely won, and with a lot of luck. His Triple Yin Yang had enabled him to do it.
Junhyuk contacted Gongon and asked, “How is it going?”
“They didn’t come this way, so we destroyed the watchtower.”
Suspicious of that, Junhyuk contacted those at the buff tower.
“There are two heroes here! They used the portal!”
“Can you hold them?”
“I’ll try. Layla is here too.”
Regina and Jean Clo, they were a strong combo. Elise could act as a tank, but she was weaker than Jean Clo. At the same time, Junhyuk wasn’t sure that Layla could defeat Regina.
Layla had grown from sparring with him, so he would have to trust her.
Even if he took the portal immediately, Junhyuk would be late. However, he couldn’t just stand there.
He told everyone to head to the buff tower and moved out. Junhyuk was going at full speed, but when she contacted him again, Elise sighed.
“Killed.”
“How?!”
“They focused their attacks on Layla. After she was killed, I couldn’t do much on my own. That mechanical musclehead pervert killed me.”
Junhyuk chuckled bitterly and asked, “Did you kill any of them?”
“I killed Regina with my ultimate, and the mechanical musclehead killed me after.”
“Head back to the buff tower, but join Sarang first.”
“Sure.”
Junhyuk contacted Gongon and said, “Let’s rush to the buff tower. We can take it over once its active again.”
Three enemy heroes had died on the right path, and Regina had died in the middle, leaving Jean Clo alone. Two heroes would be able to kill Jean Clo.
The buff had worn off, so if they were to win the next fight, they had to kill Jean Clo.
“Don’t worry. That perverted musclehead is difficult, but I can kill him.”
Junhyuk turned to Elise again and asked, “Eunseo?”
“She got killed. She tried to help me and the pervert killed her.”
“Tell her to stay in the castle. I’ll avenge you guys with Gongon.”
Junhyuk picked up the pace toward the portal.
