Junhyuk turned to Gongon and asked, âWhat are you going to do now?â
âWhat about you?â
âIâm going to teleport to Elise to help her out.â
âShould I join you?â
Junhyuk nodded and replied, âSure. Letâs make it certain.â
Juhyuk would help her out a great deal by himself, but with Gongon, they would make sure things went their way, whether two enemy legends went that way or not.
Junhyuk used his Dimensional Shift with Gongon, and they appeared behind the allied watchtower. The battle was already ongoing.
Elise and Helen were fighting Aak, who was four meters tall. Two of Eliseâs items were shining rainbow, but Aakâs entire body was rainbow.
âHow much money did Aak have?!â
His breastplate, his greaves and his pauldrons were shining brightly.
âHeâs upgraded four of his defensive items at least twenty times. His defense should be outstanding.â After complimenting Aak, Junhyuk turned to Gongon and said, âBut, we can still kill him.â
âElise canât do it alone. She doesnât have a high enough attack for that.â
Elise had buffed herself to fight, but she couldnât pierce Aakâs heavy defense.
Junhyuk wasnât worried however. Single combat was one thing, but three on one was an entirely different matter. Because Aak was busy fighting Elise, he didnât notice them. Without thinking twice, Junhyuk teleported and appeared behind Aak, attacking with a Spatial Collapse immediately. It was the best attack to use to find Aakâs weak spot.
Aak was sucked by the void, so he turned to look at Junhyuk, who smiled at him.
âLong time, no see.â
Aak was sucked in and turned to look at him, he smiled at Aak.
âLong time no see,â Junhyuk said, using his Dimensional Slash right after. The Spatial Collapse only deal 20 percent of damage to Aak, and though the Dimensional Slash hit the enemyâs neck, it took only another 18 percent.
âYou donât take criticals?!â
Junhyuk became nervous. He had a very high critical hit rate, and attacks to the neck usually meant criticals.
Aak stomped the ground.
Boom!
A massive shockwave expanded out from the point of impact, and Junhyuk, Gongon, Elise and Helen were stunned. Helen faded away.
Aakâs massive fist flew against Junhyuk. The enemy legend had thought Junhyuk would be the easier target when compared to Elise. Junhyuk braced himself for the impact. Aak was debuffed, and his attack speed was slow, but Junhyuk was stunned, so he couldnât dodge the fist.
Boom!
When the fist struck, Junhyuk scowled hard.
[Aakâs attack has decreased your defense by 20 percent.]
Junhyuk had a lot of defense, but losing 20 percent of it would make his health drop fast. Before he could move again, another first flew toward him.
Boom!
With his defense lowered, he felt the attack was more painful.
[Aakâs attack has decreased your defense by 25 percent.]
With the two attacks, Junhyuk had lost 45 percent of his defense. His defense was nearly half of what it used to be, but even though Junhyuk had known Aakâs attacks debuffed defense, he hadnât expected the loss to be that severe.
âIs it because of his set?â
Junhyuk hadnât been hit by Aak before, but now, he would be constantly aware of Aakâs setâs effect. Aakâs items certainly matched his powers, and by now, Aakâs powers would be fatal to him.
Aak tried to punch Junhyuk a third time, but by then, Junhyuk had regained his movement. Junhyuk raised his sword to block.
Clang!
He was thrown back, but suddenly, he heard even worse news.
[Aakâs attack has decreased your defense by 30 percent.]
Suddenly, he remembered that Aakâs debuffs stacked three times, but he hadnât expected to lose 75 of his health from them.
He was certain he had blocked that third hit, but he was still debuffed. That meant that Aakâs hits didnât have to land perfectly.
Junhyuk was starting to think he couldnât let himself get hit by any of the legends, and at the same time, Gongon heabutted Aak.
Boom!
The enemy legend was pushed back, and Elise fired her Moon Core at him. Gongon transformed, and Junhyuk joined in with Gongonâs attack.
Junhyukâs cooldowns decreased by 10 percent with each of his attacks. He landed four hits, and by then his Dimensional Slash had returned. Without waiting another second, Junhyuk used it against Aak.
Aakâs set had to nullify critical hits. The hero had been hit on the neck, but it hadnât been a critical, so Junhyuk chose not to attack that spot anymore. He aimed for Aakâs legs instead.
Junhyukâs defense had dropped by 75 percent, but Aak had lost 30 percent of his movement speed, so Junhyuk was confident he wouldnât be hit anymore.
Aak closed in on him as Junhyuk tried to retreat. The enemyâs movement speed was still the same.
Scoffing at Aak, Junhyuk raised his force field.
Boom!
The force field was launched back, but Gongon kicked Aakâs shin. The enemy legend bent forward, and Gongon breathed fire on him. Elise used her ultimate. The Moon Core attack proved lethal, and Aak started to fade. Junhyuk sighed with relief and turned to Elise.
She had picked up the item had dropped and smiled at him.
âThanks for the help.â
He smiled at her and said, âI have to go to Sarang. Are you advancing, Elise?â
âYes.â
âOK. Then, Iâll head to the right.â
Gongon looked at him and said, âYou havenât been to that direction yet.â
âIâll use the central portal to go there.â
The hatchling clicked his tongue and replied, âMan! Iâm jealous!â
Junhyuk laughed and grabbed Gongon and used his Dimensional Shift. They appeared back at the buff tower.
âTake the middle path down and search for the enemies. Iâll go help Sarang.â
âShould I go all the way down?â
Junhyuk took a moment to think before shaking his head and saying, âNo. The buff tower wonât matter for now. Weâll need more time to decide things. Iâll attack the right first. The amount of the map that I cover will change things in our favor.â
âRight. Iâll let you go now.â
Gongon climbed down the middle path with the minions, and Junhyuk took the portal to the right path. When he appeared, he moved as fast as he could toward Sarang.
He contacted her as well, and she was already in the middle of battle.
âBig brother, can we talk later?â
âIâm heading your way. Can you buy me time?â
âIâm not sure we can do it.â
âWe already know the enemies are strong, but even strong enemies can ignore the archersâ attacks. Retreat and buy me time.â
âSure! Hurry!â
Junhyuk disconnected and used all of his strength to move as fast as he could. The enemies attacking Sarang were Klamp and Lujet, and Lujet was the most dangerous of the two. Lujet could summon the demon.
Junhyuk had his dimensional powers now, and his skills had improved, so he didnât think he would lose to the demon. His weapons were also stronger, so he was certain that he would be able to kill it.
Junhyuk sped up. The allies had occupied the buff tower, so he was moving faster than normal, but even then, the battle wouldnât last long.
Either team could die within ten seconds of a battle starting. Junhyuk hoped that Sarang and Layla were OK, but he was sweating heavily as he ran.
Ten minutes later, someone contacted him. Sarang seemed happy.
âI killed the robot legend!â
Klamp. Klampâs defense was equivalent to Aak, so it was probably not easy for her.
âOur side?â
âWe have a heal, but the watchtower will fall soon.â
âThe watchtower?! Why?â
âThe minions were annihilated. We only have ten of them left.â
The allied minions were experienced in battle, but so were the enemy minions.
Junhyuk sighed and said, âWhen the watchtower falls, retreat. Donât die.â
âSure.â
Junhyuk picked up the pace even more. He couldnât stop time, but if he had been able to, he wouldâve definitely done it to help Sarang.
Sarang had to have used her Thunderstorm, so she would have to fight Lujet without it until it came off cooldown.
Junhyuk owned some of Lujetâs items, so he knew the legend enjoyed piercing enemies. He didnât know if all of Lujetâs items had piercing buffs however.
He hadnât seen Lujetâs entire set in effect yet, but now that he had his own set, he had to make sure to kill Lujet so that the enemy legend would drop an item.
The allies shouldnât panic. They should use their sets to their full extent and pressure the enemy legends into making mistakes.
As he ran, Sarang contacted him.
âThe tower fell. We are retreating.â
âIs he chasing you?â
âLayla stayed back. The enemyâs cooldowns are really short.â
âWhy?!â
âHis cooldown are much shorter than ours, so we are losing health fast. Layla! Retreat! Quickly!â
Junhyuk thought about Lujetâs bloodsucking ability. He as managing to fight both legends at the same time with his powers.
âIâll join soon! Hold on!â
âHurry!â
Junhyuk disconnected and ran even faster. In the distance, he could see Sarang and Layla running toward him. The two women were low on health. Layla only had 20 percent of hers left, while Lujet had 60 percent.
Because of Lujetâs bloodsucking ability, Junhyuk had to kill him in a couple of blows and really fast.
His teleportationâs cooldown was over, so he used it all three times. When he closed in that fast, Lujetâs eyes widened.
Just as he joined the allies, Junhyuk used his Dimensional Slash. Lujet raised his hand to block the attack, but the slash cut through the legendâs neck, and he started bleeding.
It as a critical hit, and it took 25 percent off of Lujetâs health. Running toward Lujet, Junhyuk shouted, âCover me!â
Lujet raised his mechanical left arm, and his finger missiles shot off at Junhyuk, who raised his force field and closed in.
Junhyuk used his Spatial Collapse as soon as he got within range, restraining Lujet in place. When he got close, he slashed at Lujet.
Lujet, who was stuck in the void, was beheaded by him.
