Chapter 172: Dilemma 2

Translator: – – Editor: – –

The dragon continued to breathe fire. It was hard to block its superior power without the force field. There was only one other way to withstand it, and Jean Clo stepped forward, extending both his arms to block the firebreath. To survive, he used his ultimate. Three blue rings surrounded him, taking the damage for him, and he started regaining his health quickly.

Junhyuk looked at Sarang, and she nodded and extended her hands.

“Suppress!”

The blood-colored light started out of Sarang’s chest and flew over, wrapping around Jean Clo. Soon, thorns shot out of the blood-colored cloud, suppressing his health-regenerating ability. Jean Clo grinded his teeth. Without regaining his health, even he couldn’t withstand the dragon’s breath.

Junhyuk had thought he could sweep the enemies away with the dragon’s breath, but his thinking fell short. The allied heroes dodged the breath, and the breath covered the valley’s entrance. As planned, they attacked the enemies with the breath, but the allied heroes were the ones that threatened the dragon.

So, once the dragon spewed its breath, it raised its head in search of his assailants. The giant flames travelled through the valley wall, heading toward Junhyuk’s group, and Junhyuk clicked his tongue.

“Shit!”

He grabbed Sarang’s hand and started to run, wanting to get as far away as possible from the dragon’s breath. Then, he saw Nudra soaring. Nudra was covered by the Rising Dragon and drop-kicked the dragon’s head.

Boom!

The head slammed against the ground. After Nudra’s ultimate, the dragon’s breath stopped chasing Junhyuk.

The enemies had lost a lot of health, and if the allies could get the dragon’s buff, they would win. Junhyuk turned around to look, and the allied heroes had to be thinking the same thing as they took off for the dragon.

Junhyuk couldn’t check the dragon’s health, but it had been hit with three ultimates. It looked like a used rag at that point.

Artlan drew the dragon’s attention while Halo prepared Rain from Above. The dragon had been bleeding all this time, and Rain from Above could finish it off.

The dragon raised its body and swung its tail. Just before Halo was about to use his ultimate, the tail hit him and pushed him against the wall.

The dragon stepped on Halo and attempted to bite Artlan, who had been running toward him. Artlan twisted his body to dodge, but the dragon grabbed him with his claw. Artlan swung his saber at the dragon’s claw, but it didn’t care and opened its mouth wide to bite him off.

“You can’t do that!”

Vera launched a fire spear that hit the dragon’s chin, and Diane shot her arrows. The arrows flew at the dragon in a row, hitting it. The dragon howled and roared, turning around to swing its tail at them.

As the tail approached Vera and Diane moved quickly, trying to escape it. Diane moved back, and Vera fell forward, dodging the tail.

They were both feeling safe, when suddenly, the enemies counterattacked. Small missiles zoomed toward Diane’s back and exploded.

Boom!

Diane was pushed forward from the shock, bouncing toward the dragon. Jean Clo approached her and grabbed her neck, lifting her up and slamming her down. She had about half of her health at the start, but after both attacks, Diane was left with 10 percent of it. Before Diane could get up, she was hit by a bullet.

Bang!

She turned grey, and Junhyuk clicked his tongue. She was the most dangerous attacker among the allies, and they had lost her.

Artlan cut the dragon’s fingers and climbed up its forearm. The dragon beat its wings and soared straight up. Above the valley, there was a net that prevented the dragon from flying up, but it could still jump up with the help of its wings.

Heading upward, the dragon turned its head to try to bite Artlan.

Clang!

Artlan blocked the dragon’s teeth with his saber.

Meanwhile, the rest of the enemies advanced into the valley. Using her high movement speed, Regina closed in on Vera and swung at her with the cutlass. Vera used her Flame Flower Sphere to block the attack, and Regina fired at her with the rifle.

Bang!

The rifle dealt a lot of damage from short range, and Vera had low health. She was badly hurt. However, Vera was still a magician regardless of the range.

Boom, boom!

A fire orb exploded in front of Regina, and she was pushed back. A fire spear chased her. After the series of explosions, Regina made up her mind and took off her eyepatch.

Vera was paralyzed, and Doctor Tula approached and blasted her with the flamethrower. The flames covered Vera’s back, and Killa closed in, shooting her with the pistol. Vera disappeared. Both of the allied attackers had died.

Junhyuk took Sarang and headed to the opposite direction of the dragon. Nudra, Halo and Artlan were engaged with it, so if the enemy heroes caught Junhyuk, he would die. As he was running, however, he heard a soft voice.

[You’ve killed the dragon Kaloyan. For the next two hours, you get a 30 percent increase to health regeneration rate, a 30 percent increase to movement speed, a 30 percent increase to attack speed, a 30 percent increase to defense, and when you attack, you will inflict an additional one hundred damage on top of your normal damage. If you die within two hours, you will lose yours buff.]

Once he heard that, Junhyuk turned around.

The dragon was bleeding from its neck, and Artlan was standing there. Then, Artlan took off. Kaloyan’s buff was significant. The allies had lost two attackers, and there were four enemies remaining, but they had been hit by the firebreath, and each had about 40 percent of his or her health left.

The allies could still win.

Junhyuk took Sarang to where Halo was standing.

“Stay back,” he said to both of them as they arrived.

Junhyuk had to wait for his cooldowns to end. Without his powers, he couldn’t interfere with the heroes fighting among themselves. Halo passed them by, running toward Regina, and used his Flash Attack. Regina’s ribs were cut, and Halo turned around and continued slashing at her.

Each time his sword cut through her, she bled like a fountain. Regina was quickly losing her health until it came close to bottoming out.

Adolphe came over and slashed Halo. Halo was paralyzed, and Regina turned around, firing her pistol at him. He was pushed back, and Adolphe used his 10-meter energy strike. Halo didn’t have a lot of health left. He had been hit by the dragon’s tail and stepped on by the dragon. After Regina’s shots and Adolphe’s rush, he had about 20 percent of his health left.

If the distance was shorter, he could still have killed her, but she had put some distance between them. Killa was still among the enemies, and she pulled her trigger. Halo’s sword moved like a flash of light, and he used it as a high-speed shield to knock the bullets away.

Killa clicked her tongue, and Doctor Tula joined in. With his eight legs, he crawled over and fired his small missiles.

Boom!

Halo blocked them with his sword, but the explosion left him with very low health. He only had 3 percent of it when Jean Clo suddenly appeared behind him. Jean Clo grabbed his legs and spun him around. Halo was a death’s door.

When Jean Clo let him go, Nudra caught Halo, but the giant swing also dealt some damage. After taking that damage, Halo disappeared. Nudra had just wasted his time.

Doctor Tula laughed aloud, “He-he-he! A comeback?”

The allied situation wasn’t great. Artlan and Nudra were still around, but Nudra had 30 percent of his health. All of the enemies had low health, but there were four of them. If they included Adolphe, there were five.

Artlan stepped up and shouted, “Junhyuk!”

“I’m ready.”

The cooldown was over, and he stepped forward. Sarang was standing next to him. Artlan ran by Nudra, and Junhyuk shouted, “Regina’s health is low!”

Artlan didn’t hesitate and launched his saber. Regina blocked it with the cutlass, but the saber throw was itself a power. With her low health, she couldn’t block it completely and disappeared. Artlan was already swinging his saber at Jean Clo when she died.

Jean Clo blocked it with his elbow, and Doctor Tula fired the spider web, tying Artlan up. While Artlan was tied up, the enemies counterattacked. Jean Clo grabbed Artlan by the neck and lifted him up while Killa prepared to shoot.

Junhyuk had already been getting closer and touched Artlan. He teleported Artlan away, avoiding Jean Clo’s chokeslam. They had escaped, but they weren’t safe yet. Killa was still preparing to fire.

While she didn’t, Junhyuk looked at the enemies and said, “Doctor Tula’s health is at 30 percent, Jean Clo’s at 30 percent, Killa’s at 52 percent and Adolphe’s 40 percent.”

After calling out their healths, Nudra dashed forward. He front-kicked Doctor Tula, who was pushed back and hit the wall.

Doctor Tula now had 22 percent of his health, and Nudra let him be, launching a strong gust against Jean Clo, who had been attacking Artlan. Jean Clo was pushed back and left with 20 percent of his health.

Killa didn’t felt like she had time to snipe, so she ran and fired her pistols at Nudra, who started losing health quickly.

Nudra had 10 percent of his health when Artlan finally got out of the spiderweb. He got loose and jumped, trying to slash Killa in the process, but she jumped as well and escaped the attack. He let Killa go, and saw Doctor Tula still staggering. Artlan threw a saber at him. The saber sank into Doctor Tula, leaving him with 2 percent of his health.

Artlan was trying to take his saber back when he was thrown at Regina. Adolphe had sunk his blade into the ground, and two blue-energy boomerangs flow out, tying Artlan and Nudra.

It happened at just the right moment, and Junhyuk clicked his tongue, raising his sword.

“Use it!” Artlan shouted.

Junhyuk heard him and, without hesitation, used the Spatial Slash. He had measured the distance to the enemy, and the slash went deep into Jean Clo’s neck.

“Ugh!”

Jean Clo lost 15 percent of his health, and the shockwave swept around him. Doctor Tula and Adolphe were struck by it. Doctor Tula disappeared, and Adolphe was left with 20 percent of his health.

Junhyuk was gripping tightly to his swords when he heard the sound of gunfire.

Bang!

He quickly turned his head thinking it was Killa’s shot and saw Nudra disappearing. Jean Clo, Killa and Adolphe were still alive from the enemies’ side. The allies had Artlan, Junhyuk and Sarang
