Junhyuk and Gongon left the archers’ range while Aktur was extending his hand toward Lugos. Aktur’s bandages flew out and wrapped around Lugos’ neck and pulled him.

Even if Lugos were pulled, Drakey had no other recourse, so he ran toward Aktur. The enemies wanted the supporting fire from the archers, but that would be meaningless if all champions were to die. Grimacing, Drakey ran and created a whirlwind.

The whirlwind sucked Junhyuk, Gongon and Aktur in, leaving Lugos to retreat. Watching him running away, Aktur extend his hand, and shadow hands raised from the ground to hold Lugos in place while the whirlwind faded.

Junhyuk dropped to the ground and ran toward Lugos, swinging the Frozen Rune Sword. Meanwhile, Lugos swung his hammer back at Junhyuk. The cyclops still had his attack speed, and he didn’t think he would lose the exchange.

Clang!

The Frozen Rune Sword got deflected, and Junhyuk naturally turned his body and struck with the Blood Rune Sword. Unlike is the past, he made use of a stabbing motion. He had trained in dual-swordsmanship and learned to stab. It was rare for him to do it in an actual fight, but the stab’s sharpness exposed his enemy’s weakness.

The stab went through Lugos shoulder, and he frowned and swung his ax. Junhyuk pulled the sword out and spun to escape the attack.

Boom!

The ax slammed on the ground as Junhyuk dodged it, and someone passed by him.

“I’ll take care of it!”

Gongon had transformed and was running forward. Gongon was three meters tall, and both of his hands had three sharp claws. Flames covered the claws, and Gongon attacked with them. Lugos swung the short spear instinctively to block. One of Gongon’s claws bounced off, and he swung with the other one, slashing right through Lugos’ ribs.

Junhyuk saw that the dragon’s ability to deal damage had increased. One hit took away 13 percent of Lugos’ health, so the damage had increased by at least 30 percent. Junhyuk’s body wasn’t strong, and he depended heavily on weapons to deal damage. However, Gongon could already deal a lot of damage from the start, so a 30 percent increase was astonishing.

Lugos could also see that Gongon’s damage had increased. None of them were waiting for Drakey to come to the rescue. At the same time, Lugos used all four of his weapons.

Aktur ran forward while summoning the three skeleton soldiers, and Lugos started getting sloppy. Even though he had four weapons and the skill to use them, he was dealing with other champions.

With the skeleton soldiers added to the mix, Lugos kept leaving openings that were getting attacked, and the damage was pilling up. They weren’t attacking him with powers, but he quickly lost a chunk of his health.

Drakey ran toward him and released the soundwave, which pushed back all three of them. However, Lugos only had 40 percent of his health left, so Aktur shouted, “Kill Lugos!”

Junhyuk didn’t hesitate. The cooldown for the Spatial Slash had ended, and he used it. Drakey had gotten closer, so that was an opportunity to attack both of them at once. The Spatial Slash cut through Lugos’ neck, and a red shockwave expanded from it.

“Ugh!”

[You killed Lugos and earned 3,000G.]

Lugos disappeared with his eyes wide open, and the group looked at Drakey. He had been running toward them, but he clicked his tongue and stopped. Drakey had lost some health already, so if he strained himself, he could easily get killed, so he retreated. The group thought about chasing him, but stopped because of the archers.

With the archers’ help, Drakey made it inside of the castle.

“Why is he running away?”

“There’s nothing he can do now. He is alone,” Gongon asked and Junhyuk calmly replied.

Drakey was alone, and at that moment, he could only stay inside of the castle with the golem and wait. That was his only recourse. That way, he could give up the castle without dying because every time a champion died, they lost 3,000G.

Gongon laughed and looked up the castle wall.

“How do we take care of them?”

“We could use long range attacks.”

Junhyuk told him to wait and readied the lizardmen. The enemy lizardmen were getting in position as well. Then, the Spatial Slash’s cooldown ended.

“The archers on the castle wall are a nuisance, but we’ll sweep them out first.”

Drakey wasn’t there, so it wouldn’t be a difficult task. Junhyuk signaled when his Spatial Slash was ready and started toward the castle. The lizardmen ran with him in the lead, and Junhyuk used the Spatial Slash on the archers on the way. The attack killed many, and the shockwave it generated swept through the lizardmen.

Half of the lizardmen had already died, and Junhyuk lifted Gongon up.

“Please use your firebreath,” Junhyuk said and launched the dragon. In the air, Gongon breathed the fan-like fire, killing the archers.

Without them on the castle wall, the lizardmen ahead posed no more problems. It was rare to find a specialist in minions like Junhyuk. He ran toward the lizardman, swung his swords, and the lizardmen fell. The shockwaves made quick work of them, and Gongon said, “That’s a nice power? I couldn’t find any items that could do that.”

“It’s a set ability.”

“A set ability?”

“Yes.”

Gongon had learned something interesting, and his eyes gleamed.

Junhyuk pointed to the gate and said, “We have to destroy the gate before they revive.”

“Sure!”

Gongon started hitting it and the others joined him. Then, Junhyuk looked at the lizardmen and thought of something, Do lizardmen talk about the Dimensional Battlefield once they return to their dimension? Are they like humans?

He became curious about a few things, The lizardmen were berserked, so would they be OK once they returned?

The gate crumbled, and Gongon advanced to see a huge golem, and he laughed.

“That’s just a golem! What are they trying to do?”

“You can’t deal with it alone,” Junhyuk said, and Gongon cracked his neck left and right and stepped forward.

Junhyuk placed his hand on Gongon’s head, adding, “And Drakey is still there.”

Drakey was standing behind the golem, meaning to protect the castle’s force field.

Gongon looked at Drakey and asked, “That is the guy who has absolute dodge?”

“Correct.”

“What are you going to do?”

Gongon raised his head to look at Junhyuk, who started thinking.

“Aktur, can’t you pull Drakey?”

“There’s a significant chance I can’t.”

That meant they had to fight Drakey with the golem, and Junhyuk smacked his lips.

“With his absolute dodge, it won’t be easy. We will do our best. Kill the golem first.”

“Sure!”

Gongon’s body moved slightly, and he tried to step forward, but Junhyuk grabbed his head again.

“Wait! The lizardmen will get its attention first.”

Aktur stepped forward.

“Attack!” he said coldly, and the lizardmen rushed out. Junhyuk believed that their aggressiveness would help in situations like that. He didn’t have to induce them to madness.

The lizardmen ran, and Gongon mumbled, “They are aggressive!”

“It’s a good thing.”

The massive golem kicked them, and they died with punctured stomachs.

“Let’s begin,” Junhyuk said.

He ran out with Gongon after him. While they ran, Junhyuk kept an eye on Drakey. The golem was more powerful than a champion, and Drakey would help it out, but Junhyuk didn’t think he would lose.

The matter at hand was to not get killed and win. Junhyuk ran forward, but he didn’t use the Spatial Slash. The lizardmen were keeping the golem occupied, so he swung the Frozen Rune Sword, slashing through the golem’s leg and slowing it down. Gongon rushed forward and kicked it.

Ordinary attacks wouldn’t destroy the golem, but they had wary of Drakey. When Junhyuk and Gongon attacked, Drakey used the whirlwind.

They were covered by the wind, and the golem swung its fist.

Junhyuk teleported and appeared behind Drakey. He swung the Frozen Rune Sword at Drakey’s back, but Drakey swiped with his spear to block the attack. He looked around, and stabbed at Junhyuk with it.

Junhyuk didn’t want to fight Drakey one on one. He didn’t think he would lose, but his real job was to hold Drakey there.

“Kill the golem first!”

“YES!”

The other two attacked the golem. The golem, however, wasn’t an easy opponent. It launched Gongon off and slammed Aktur against the ground. Still, it was getting hurt.

Drakey, who was dealing with Junhyuk, smiled.

“This is fun.”

“What is?”

Junhyuk heard horse hoofs behind him.

“Shit!”

He turned to look, and Gyulsean already had her spear toward him. She tried to attack him, but he teleported to appear on top of the golem’s shoulder, next to its head, and stabbed it with his sword.

Crash!

The golem had already lost health, so it was destroyed after the strike. Then, Junhyuk inspected the allies’ condition.

Gongon had lost 30 percent of his health while Aktur has lost 50 percent. They had fought the golem in the whirlwind, which was how they had been so hurt. However, Junhyuk had been saving his Spatial Slash so that he could kill Gyulsean quickly. With her gone, he would deal with Drakey.

He stood next to Gongon.

“We have to finish this before Lugos revives.”

“We’ll earn more money if we kill them more times.”

“That’s right, but we have to take it easy. We haven’t won yet.”

Gongon nodded and stepped forward. His defense stat was extremely high, and he enjoyed taking the lead. Maybe it was a condition of Gongon’s pride, but Junhyuk didn’t stop him.

Junhyuk ran with the dragon, and they saw that Gyulsean was near the castle’s force field. If he used the Spatial Slash, Gyulsean would enter the force field, so Junhyuk smacked his lips.

“Kill Drakey first!”

Junhyuk was worried that his Spatial Slash might fail, so he decided to use it between average strikes.

Drakey could use his absolute dodge, and his power would last for three seconds.

Junhyuk and Gongon had started, and Aktur joined them in going after Drakey. When they finally reached him, Drakey used his absolute dodge.

For three seconds, Drakey had no enemy. Before the three seconds ended, Drakey went inside of the force field. Even if they had tried to stop him, they wouldn’t have been able to.

Once Drakey entered the force field, Gongon frowned and kicked it, yelling, “Cowards! Come back out here!”
