Junhyuk could courageously block Doctor Tula because he knew the doctor had used all of his powers. He had also used all of his powers, but he could still stand in the doctor’s way. Junhyuk couldn’t damage heroes with normal strikes, but the enemy heroes also couldn’t hit him with normal strikes. His swordsmanship had improved that much.
He blocked both of Doctor Tula’s legs with his sword and tried to counterattack, but both sides needed to wait until their powers returned. Doctor Tula blocked Junhyuk, but he still received fixed damage, and since Junhyuk had used the Spatial Slash early, he would be able to use it again soon.
Junhyuk had blocked the doctor again when Adolphe lifted his saw-blade sword, and the ten-meter blue energy surged out of it. Two heroes were tied up behind Junhyuk, and Adolphe was targeting them. Junhyuk was fighting Doctor Tula and frowned because he couldn’t do anything.
Sarang shot her electric blast.
Adolphe and Doctor Tula were paralyzed.
Junhyuk slid between the doctor’s legs and swung his swords. Both the Blood Rune Sword and the Frozen Rune Sword slashed the mechanical spider parts continually, and the shockwaves swept through Adolphe, damaging him.
Suddenly, he heard Vera’s voice.
"Move!"
Junhyuk hopped to the side, and the fire spear zoomed by, striking Doctor Tula’s head. Adolphe’s restraining power only prevented movement, so Vera could still use her powers. Ensnared heroes that had long range attacks could still use their powers while tied up.
Doctor Tula was hit by the fire spear and pushed back, hitting a fire orb, causing a series of explosions. Doctor Tula had been hit by Artlan’s seven-slash combo and the explosions, and that left him with 40 percent of his health.
Then, an arrow with two energies hit the doctor.
Boom!
After the explosive arrow hit him, he only had 15 percent of his health remaining. The Spatial Slash could kill him, but Junhyuk still had to wait for the cooldown to end.
Doctor Tula, who had been under attack, was now free to move. He used the flamethrower, and the long flames spewed out. Junhyuk quickly ran to the side, but the flames burned his shoulder. That’s when he knew the cooldown was over.
Junhyuk used the Spatial Slash, and Doctor Tula’s mouth hung wide. The Blood Rune Sword’s Spatial Slash made Doctor Tula disappear, and its shockwave swept through Adolphe. Junhyuk felt himself regaining his health and ran toward Adolphe.
Thuck, thuck!
He wanted to kill Adolphe, but two arrows hit him, one on the shoulder and the other on the ribs. So far, Doctor Tula had had his back to the archers. Now, he was dead, and Junhyuk was their target.
Junhyuk writhed in pain and rolled on the ground. He picked up the white gown dropped by the doctor and put it in his Spatial Bag. When he got up, Adolphe was already there, swinging the saw-blade sword down on him.
Adolphe was debuffed, and his attack speed was slow. Vera shot a fire arrow, and Diane fired her arrows at him. Both were saving their powers against Adolphe, and normal attacks would still deal heavy damage to him. Sarang was also helping out, and Adolphe disappeared.
Two more arrows hit Junhyuk, and he lost half of his health.
Adolphe was dead, and Junhyuk tried to get out of the archers’ range. Jean Clo and Bater were fighting. If Junhyuk got to them, he would be clear of the archers.
Jean Clo had done a giant swing on Nudra, and Nudra rolled on the ground, got up and ran. Junhyuk analyzed the situation. Jean Clo and Bater were fighting Nudra and Halo head on. Jean Clo had about 72 percent of his health while Bater had 65 percent.
Bater had been injured by Halo’s attacks, which created wounds that didn’t heal easily and kept bleeding.
Bater was covered in blood, and Junhyuk shouted, "Bater’s health is lower!"
Artlan was dead, so they needed someone to assign the next victim. A firewall rose from underneath Bater’s feet. The huge flames engulfed Bater, and Diane shot at him as well. Bater’s health dropped below the halfpoint. Halo had been waiting and swung his sword down on him, and Bater countered Halo with a one-two combo, pushing him back before he had a chance to swing his sword.
"Let’s go to the wall!" Bater shouted.
Only he and Jean Clo remained. They needed the archers’ help, and the allies had to prevent them from getting to the wall.
Jean Clo tried to grab Nudra, but he jumped way high and dropped down on Bater’s head.
Boom!
He kicked Bater’s head multiple times, and Bater’s body went in the ground up to his knee. Nudra’s Dragon Kick was his ultimate, and Bater was left with 10 percent of his health. He had a lot of defense and health, but there was little he could do at that point.
Halo appeared in front of Bater and swung his sword down. The sword cut down vertically, and Halo jumped and slashed again. After that, Bater disappeared. They had focused their powers to kill him.
Halo started landing, and Jean Clo used the momentum accrued from running and shoulder-checked him. It wasn’t a power, but the shock was intense, and Halo never actually hit the ground. Jean Clo pushed him away and ran. The allies had to stop him.
Nudra boosted his movement and blocked Jean Clo’s path, but he grabbed Nudra by the neck and lifted him up.
Jean Clo got hit by Vera’s and Diane’s attacks, but he didn’t care and chokeslammed Nudra. Junhyuk clicked his tongue and dashed toward Jean Clo. His steel jaw opened, and he laughed aloud.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
Jean Clo rushed toward Junhyuk. He had already used the giant swing, but he still had the screw piledriver. To use that, he had to jump from the place where he stood. Junhyuk wanted to buy more time, so he also ran toward Jean Clo. Jean Clo blocked the Frozen Rune Sword with his elbow, grabbed Junhyuk and jumped.
Junhyuk started falling upside down, but his heart felt weird, and he teleported. Jean Clo landed, but Junhyuk was far away. Nudra front-kicked him, and Jean Clo was unable to get to the castle’s wall and bounced back. He left a long trail on the ground before opening his arms and running again.
When Jean Clo was pushed back, Halo started using Rain from Above. As Jean Clo started running to the wall again, Rain from Above dropped on him like a flash of lightning. Jean Clo used his ultimate, and three blue energy rings surrounded his body. Rain from Above took one of the rings out.
Jean Clo’s ultimate had blocked Rain from Above, and Vera and Diane attacked him. Their goal was to destroy the rest of the blue rings. Sarang moved her hands toward him and said, "Suppress!"
The blood-colored energy surrounded him, and thorns burst out of it, piercing Jean Clo. He glared at Sarang and ran forward. They couldn’t allow him to get to the castle.
Halo stood in front of him. Without Artlan, Halo was the right person to fight Jean Clo. He sliced through Jean Clo’s leg and stepped aside while Nudra dashed over. Jean Clo was like a tank, but he couldn’t get by two heroes. He grabbed Nudra’s fist, and hit Nudra’s neck with his elbow. Nudra spin-kicked the back of Jean Clo’s head.
Jean Clo staggered, and Diane’s multi-shot hit him. Vera launched a fire spear at him as well, and a fire orb exploded against his back. Jean Clo gritted his teeth. Junhyuk’s cooldown was over, and he used the Spatial Slash. He didn’t want to be blamed for stealing a kill.
After Junhyuk used the Spatial Slash, Jean Clo’s health hit 8 percent. The heroes attacked him simultaneously. Halo’s sword pierced his stomach, and Nudra kneed his chin. Both Diane’s arrow and Vera’s fire arrow hit his neck.
"Argh!"
Jean Clo stared intensely at Vera and disappeared. Everyone attacked at the same time, but Vera laughed aloud and walked over.
"I killed him."
Diane smacked her lips and said, "Pick it up. It’s time to finish this."
The minions attacked the riflemen and less than a hundred survived. Junhyuk ran and shouted, "I will take care of the minions."
He could generate shockwaves that swept through the surrounding area. He was so powerful that he was better than the heroes at massacring minions. The shockwaves had a radius of ten meters and cleaned up all of the minions. Vera and Diane took care of the archers.
The gate remained, and Junhyuk destroyed it and went inside.
Once they saw the golems, Vera said, "I will cast Meteor Shower, and we’ll start."
"OK."
The enemy heroes hadn’t revived, so the minions drew the golems’ attentions while Vera cast her meteors. She could inflict a lot more damage, and the golems were seriously injured. They went after her, and Nudra and Halo each took a golem. Diane shot her arrows.
They were dealing with the golems very quickly. Each of the heroes had a new item, and it made a difference.
Junhyuk also didn’t waste time. He used Spatial Slash against a golem, and the golem crumbled soon after.
Sarang used Heal on Junhyuk twice, and the other golem died within five minutes. The group quickly moved to pound the castle’s force field. It was breaking apart when the first revived hero apparead.
Regina appeared inside the force field, but she saw that both golems had already been destroyed. She didn’t leave the force field, and the group destroyed the castle. It crumbled, and Junhyuk gathered his breath.
"We have a lot more power, and it’s serving us well."
Vera smiled.
"Right. Those enemies will be gone with the next round." Junhyuk turned, and Vera put her arm around him and whispered, "One more round and we advance. We’ll keep putting our trust in you for next round."
"Already?"
"We are winning," she said and kissed his cheek. "Where did we find you?"
Sarang stared hard at them, and the world disappeared around the group.
