Minota was hunching over, holding his testicles, when Halo swung his sword and beheaded him. He was still holding his testicles when he disappeared. The other Minota rushed at Junhyuk. His eyes looked mad, and he was filled with hatred.
Junhyuk teleported.
Minota arrived at the spot where Junhyuk had been standing when he was hit by a fire spear.
Boom!
Even after being hit, Minota couldnât control his anger.
âArgh! I will kill you!â
Minota was so livid, he couldnât see anything else, so he chased after Junhyuk. Even though Minota had a lot of health, when he ignored his own safety, he became an easy target for the heroes.
Dianeâs arrows and Haloâs sword attack landed on him. He was dying, but he still had only one thing on his mind.
âYou son of a bitch! Wait and see!â He said, staring at Junhyuk.
Junhyuk smiled a little and answered him:
âIâm sorry. It wasnât intentional.â
Minota couldnât speak anymore and disappeared. Junhyuk watched him disappear and turned around. Artlan was also fighting, and Warren was heading toward him.
Suddenly, Warren jumped and aimed for Diane. Warrenâs eyes were blood red, and that meant his health was regenerating.
Vera launched a fire orb while he was in the air.
Boom!
He was hit by the explosion and dropped to the ground, and Diane shot her explosive arrow at him.
Boom!
Finally, Halo slashed him with his sword, but then, Warren howled:
âWoo, woo, woo!â
Warren had positioned himself well, and Artlan, Halo and Diane froze. Ellic then rushed toward Artlan, pushing him away, and Warren headed for Diane, biting her neck.
âAahhhh!â
Diane screamed, and Warren tried to stab her stomach with his claws. However, Junhyuk ran toward them and stabbed Warren in the eye.
âArgh!â
Warren was in pain and opened his mouth, letting go of Diane. Junhyuk grabbed Dianeâs hand and teleported away. Warren was irritated, but Halo slashed him.
Haloâs sword went through Warrenâs thigh and stuck to the ground. At that moment, if Diane received any more damage, she would die.
Warren swung his claws at Halo, but Halo ducked and dodged them and retreated. The sword was still stuck the the ground, and Warren was trying to pull it out when a black firewall rose from beneath his feet.
The firewall inflicted continuous damage, and Diane loosened more arrows at Warren. He tried to block with his claws, but he was only able to stop three arrows.
Two arrows hit him along with a fire spear, and Warren died. Warrenâs body thinned out and disappeared, Junhyuk let out a sigh.
âAre you OK?â
Diane was bleeding from her neck, and Junhyuk applied pressure to the wound with his hand.
âThanks! I couldâve been killed if you were a little late.â
âItâs OK.â
At that point, only Ellic remained, and Artlan jumped at him.
Clang!
Ellic blocked Artlanâs attack, but everyone was waiting to attack him. Ellic fought hard, but he would lose. Soon, Ellic fell, and Artlan smiled.
âPush!â
Meanwhile, the number of minions had decreased by half, but the allies still had four heroes. This battle would also end in a victory.
Junhyuk felt the end approaching.
They had won.
They tended to Dianeâs injury, and Vera used her magic on the archers.
âFollow me,â Artlan told Junhyuk.
âOK.â
Junhyuk ran with Artlan toward the minions. Artlan ran very fast, but he kept up with him, slashing at their enemies.
The minions were no match for Junhyuk, and he watched Artlanâs swordsmanship and tried to mimic it. They killed the minions, destroyed the gate and went inside. Artlan cracked his neck and inspected the area inside the castle.
Inside, there were two giant golems.
âVera, blow them up.â
âOK.â
Vera was preparing her magic when Artlan ran forward. Halo joined him, and Junhyuk followed them. The golems saw the invaders in their territory and ran to engage.
A golem swung its fist down at Artlan and Halo, and Junhyuk launched a force field.
Boom, boom!
In the past, he had only been able to put a force field around one person. Now, he could cover all heroes.
Halo and Artlan were fighting the golem when Junhyuk also stepped forward. He stayed inside of the force field because the golem could kill him with one blow.
Junhyuk could inflicted fixed damage, and it helped out. The golem was hit, and the blow splintered parts of its body.
Then, meteors fell from the sky.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The golem staggered from the impact, and Dianeâs explosive arrows hit it head on.
Boom!
Parts of the golemâs head came apart, and Artlan jumped. Artlan swung his saber, and the golemâs crumbled to pieces.
Meanwhile, Halo stabbed the other golem in the ribs. Golems were different from humans. Humans would die with a sword stuck to their ribs, but the golem swung at Halo, completely ignoring the sword.
Boom!
Previously, Minota had been able to push the force field back a little, but the golem pushed half of it into the ground.
They were stuck on the ground, and everyone attacked the golem.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Everyoneâs attack was focused on the golem, and the golem went down. Artlan started attacking the force field around the castle. Libya had reincarnated, but didnât come out. She would be facing for heroes alone and would die like a dog.
âWe wonât see her later.â Artlan said.
Libya gritted her teeth, and Artlan swung at the force field.
Clung!
âWe meet again in two weeks?â Junhyuk asked him.
Artlan shook his head.
âNo. This time, we meet in four weeks.â
âIn four weeks?â
âRight. You didnât know?â Vera asked, smiling.
âYou didnât tell me.â
âWeâve been on a winning streak, so this was the last battle. Now, we advance.â Diane said while shooting arrows.
âAdvance?â
âWe will meet different heroes,â Halo said, slashing at the castle.
He seemed glad, but Junhyuk was nervous.
âNew heroes?â
âRight. Five different heroes from before.â
âIsnât that dangerous?â
Advancement meant they would fight at a higher level, and the higher levels had different heroes.
It felt ominous. He understood the heroes he had been dealing with, but did not know anything about the new heroes he would encounter. He could get killed without lifting his swords.
He was worried.
âThey will still only have four powers. Heroes summoned here have limits,â Artlan said while swinging his saber.
That was for when heroes fought each other, but he wasnât a hero. Junhyuk wanted to be extra careful the next time he was summoned.
Thatâs when Skia showed up behind Libya. Skia stared at Junhyuk and disappeared. He did not expect Skia to fight four heroes, but nevertheless, he launched a force field.
For the next ten seconds, Skia wouldnât be able to attack. Skia showed up a little later, but was pushed back by the force field.
âShit.â
The four heroes looked at Skia, and Skia laughed.
âThis time youâve won, but this wonât happen next time.â
âWeâve advanced. There wonât be a next time.â
âDonât worry. Iâll follow you there.â
Skia waived a hand, preparing a power, but Sarang fired her electric blast at Skia.
The electric blast was faster than the heroesâ attacks, and Skia was paralyzed, unable to move or use a power.
Everyone ran toward Skia. Artlan launched his saber, and Halo used his flash attack. Skia was cut in the ribs, and Veraâs fire spear hit Skia on the head. Dianeâs arrows hit Skia on the chest, and Junhyuk stabbed the same place.
âUgh!â
Skia had to feel bad. Skia thought Junhyuk would come out of the force field, but Sarang had hit Skia, and Artlan chopped off Skiaâs head.
Artlan caught the head in the air and said:
âDonât be so stupid if you want to advance. Learn from it.â
Skiaâs head disappeared, and Artlan picked up the item Skia dropped.
âDestroy it all!â
Everyone started pounding the castleâs force field. Minota reincarnated, but didnât come out. Junhyukâs force field was still up. There would be no meaning for him to come out then.
Minota watched them while grinding his teeth.
âYou know this is not the end!â
Junhyuk looked at him and shrugged.
âYou have to advance to meet me again.â
Minotaâs eyes widened, and Junhyuk felt chills looking at his cold stare. In this battle, Junhyuk had killed Minota by underhanded means.
Minota stepped forward and said:
âWe will advance too. We will meet you then.â
Junhyuk didnât answer, and instead, he hit the force field with the Frozen Rune Sword.
Craaack!
The force field and the castle were completely destroyed, and Minota turned around.
Junhyuk sighed. He had survived.
He turned his head and looked at Artlan, who grabbed his shoulder.
âYou are a big part in our advancement.â
âNot really. I survived because of you.â
Diane walked over and checked out Junhyukâs butt.
âIf you feel grateful, take off your armor.â
Junhyuk laughed and shook his head.
âWe meet in four weeks,â Artlan said.
âOK. Iâll see you then.â
Artlan and the heroes disappeared, and Junhyuk looked at Sarang. She smiled at him.
âBig bro, we are still alive.â
âRight.â
Junhyuk caressed her head.
âItâs a relief. Weâll return together.â
Sarang smiled with her eyes.
âWe have a month before getting back?â
âRight. Next time, listen to me more or else⦠Understand?â
Sarang nodded.
âI should become an expert so that I can reincarnate.â
Junhyuk agreed with her. She had to activate one more power, and it would be a huge relief. He watched her be surrounded by light and said:
âYou worked hard.â
âYou too.â
The whole world was filled with light.
