Chapter 402: Team Battle 2

Junhyuk contacted the allies at once, beginning with Sarang. She seemed tense.

“How is it going?”

“I’ll probably lose the buff.”

Sarang was at the watchtower, so the enemy heroes couldn’t approach her easily. A weak hero would die from her Thunderstorm.

Her Thunderstorm’s range was quite long, so even if the enemies had long range attacks, they wouldn’t necessarily attack first. Could an enemy who had been hit with the Thunderstorm still come at her? The enemies had to be decisive. If not, advancing wouldn’t be possible.

In the meantime, the enemies stayed where they were. However, she could lose the buff tower to them. Sarang couldn’t leave the watchtower and deal with two enemies at the same time. Her defense wasn’t that strong.

She could use her ultimate in her fight with her enemies, but she shouldn’t fight alone.

“I’ll check to see if someone can support you.”

Junhyuk contacted Abel next.

“Abel, how is the left?”

“It’s going well. We destroyed the first watchtower and are pushing on to the second. Layla headed middle.”

“Layla won’t get there in time. From now on, whenever your ultimate is off cooldown, you go back to Sarang.”

“They are pushing center?”

“No necessarily. However, if the situation continues as is, we might lose the buff tower.”

“OK. I’ll do that.”

Abel disconnected, and Junhyuk contacted Gongon.

“Gon, how was Abel?”

Gongon scowled and said, “I tried to kill him.”

“Why?”

“He dealt the last hit and picked up the item from the hero Layla and I worked hard to bring down.”

Junhyuk knew that Abel had a high attack stat. Besides, Abel’s power could deal an absurd amount of damage. If his power landed on the 300-percent damage, he would’ve dealt the last hit even if he hadn’t meant to.

“We’ll just watch him to see if it was intentional.”

“I don’t like him.”

Gongon was being curt, which meant that Gongon found him repulsive. Junhyuk should hold off on including Abel on the team. He was not sure about what to do about Abel.

“We’ll push for a team battle first and then make our judgements, OK?”

“Sure. What are you going to do?”

“I destroyed the second watchtower on the right path, so I’m moving middle to take the second watchtower there.”

“Are we gathering middle.”

“You should continued to push the left. If too many enemies head your way, you can retreat.”

“OK.”

As Junhyuk walked, Elise, who was watching him, asked, “When can we join Gongon?”

“Probably once we have a team battle.”

During the team battle, everyone would be together, and Elise was looking forward to working with Gongon.

Junhyuk said calmly, “After destroying the second tower, we’ll go see Bebe. You should get a communication crystal so you can talk to Gongon.”

Elise smiled at him.

“I’ve brought a few things to sell.”

Junhyuk nodded, looked at the minions and said, “Let’s pick up our pace.”

As he said that, a card appeared in midair, and Abel appeared right after it. Abel looked at him and clicked his tongue.

“Let’s move together for ten minutes,” Junhyuk said, bringing up the conversation he had with Gongon after, “I heard from Gongon that you dealt the last hit.”

“I pulled the 300-percent damage attack. The enemy was running away, but I was only trying to catch him.”

Like Junhyuk had thought, Abel hadn’t done it intentionally, so he decided to hold off judgement on the hero.

“Let’s move.”

Abel didn’t say anything, simply shuffling his cards as he followed Junhyuk. Junhyuk sped up, and after ten minutes, Abel pulled a card and disappeared. Junhyuk was curious about where Abel had gone, but he did not try to search for him. After a while, he got a call from Sarang.

“What is this person?”

“Why?”

“An enemy suddenly got much stronger, and he died. I killed the two enemies at the end, but I’m speechless.”

“His powers are hit-or-miss. One of the possible effects increases an enemy’s attack by 50 percent.”

“That’s a laughable power. He stepped forward and got killed. Although I was able to kill the two, one of them took his item.”

“That’s fine. All of his items buff his health. He is covered in health items, which means that enemy’s attack stat should be high.”

“One of them deals descent damage. That was the one who got buffed, so he got shockingly strong. I had to use my ultimate.”

Abel had been there for her, which is how she managed to kill the enemies. Junhyuk laughed bitterly.

“Since you killed them, come down. Let’s destroy the second tower.”

“Sure.”

Junhyuk disconnected. He was still stunned as he thought about Abel. The allies were powerful now. They wouldn’t lose in single combat, so the enemies had to come at them in groups. They could become legends by killing enemies and getting more equipment.

Abel’s power wasn’t necessarily threatening, but what if he buffed the enemy? That could be a problem. Junhyuk shook his head as he ran. He wanted to join up with Sarang.

The buff was important, and that was still on his mind, so he connected to Layla.

“Where are you?”

“It’ll take some time to reach the buff tower.”

“Sarang’s killed the enemies there, and she’s coming down. We still need to occupy the buff tower, however.”

“Then, go to the second watchtower. I’ll head there as well. We’ll block the enemies’ advance, so we won’t lose the buff tower.”

After thinking about it, Junhyuk nodded.

“OK. Let’s do that.”

Junhyuk, Layla and Sarang could deal with any enemy that came their way. If the mantis and the porcupine heroes were their average combatants, the three would be able to kill all five enemy heroes.

As he moved along, Junhyuk connected to Abel, who had revived, and explained the plan.

“Use your ultimate to move. Head to the buff tower, take the buff, and then join up with the rest of the allies.”

Abel’s ultimate was rather useful.

“Will do.”

Abel’s ultimate use was successful. He appeared next to Sarang, who was closest to the buff tower. Abel moved toward the buff, and Sarang headed for the second enemy watchtower.

While moving, the allies were buffed again. The three reached the second watchtower, but there were four enemy heroes there. None of them looked humanoid.

The mantis and the porcupine were there, but there was also a scorpion hero and a spider hero, who used two of its legs as actual legs and the other six as arms. They had brought two hundred minions along with them. The enemies had already lost three times that, so after taking two hundred minions with them, they only had two hundred left at the castle. Junhyuk knew they were determined to win that time.

One of the enemies was missing, so that hero had to have gone either left or right, but Junhyuk didn’t care about that. All he had to do was kill the four heroes in front of him, and the allies would win.

Abel had probably gone to Gongon, but he also didn’t care if Abel was missing. He turned to the allies. Junhyuk had brought 65 minions, and Sarang had 74 left. Combined, they had 139. On top of that, the allies had Elise, their expert.

The enemies were staying by the watchtower, so that posed a problem. However, the allies had plenty of long range attacks. On top of that, Elise could summon Zaira, who had the missiles.

“Shall we attack?”

“What’s the plan?”

“I want to know more about their powers. I killed the porcupine before he could use anything. However, the mantis has a rush and a howl that pushes his enemies back.”

Layla looked at the spider and said, “That spider must be an attacker. It has the most damaging power of all of them. He can throw six small spears with his six hands, and he has perfect dodge. That scorpion is a standard physical defender. His defense stat is really high, but his magic defense is worthless.”

Sarang continued from where Layla had stopped, “The scorpion has a poison spit that paralyzes the opponent. When I was with Layla, we didn’t come across that, but the scorpion paralyzed Abel.”

Junhyuk could guess what had happened. They didn’t know all of their enemies’ powers because they had easily killed them.

He scoped them out.

“We don’t know anything about the porcupine’s powers, so let’s kill him first.”

Layla nodded and looked at the allied camp.

“What about the minions?”

“Divide into three teams. Two teams will make shield walls at the front, and the other team will protect the expert.”

Looking at Elise, Layla asked, “Can’t the expert help us?”

“Sure, but we don’t need her right now.”

Layla nodded, and Junhyuk walked over to Elise and extend his Blood Rune Sword at her.

“Buff me.”

Elise extended her hand toward the Blood Rune Sword, and it shone suddenly. Junhyuk inspected it and saw that the sword had gained an additional buff.

Even without fighting, Elise could help.

“She had a buff?!”

“The cooldown is too long, so we can only use it on one person for now.”

“If she develops that power further, she’ll be of great help.”

Junhyuk smiled and looked at the enemies.

“Being able to buff multiple allies would be nice. Shall we go?” Junhyuk asked, and Layla unsheathed her katana. He and Layla ran forward, with Sarang right behind them.

The mantis and the scorpion stepped forward and shouted, “Attack!”

The allies did not order their minions forward. Instead, they made the minions defend. They wanted to use the minions when they attacked the enemy castle.

The mantis and the scorpion were in the front, and the spider was right behind them. The porcupine was bringing up the rear.

Junhyuk looked at Layla and said, “Follow the plan.”

Junhyuk teleported and appeared in front of the enemy minions. He used his Spatial Slash immediately, and because he was buffed by Elise, the strike triggered extra damage, and the attack killed the porcupine.

The enemy minions attacked him from all sides, and the mantis rushed him. The scorpion’s claws opened up wide as the hero ran at Junhyuk.

Junhyuk swung his swords against the minions, and Layla passed him by. She attacked the mantis, who got launched in the air. The mantis had rushed, but Layla had negated that with the launch, which also meant she had overpowered the mantis.

“OK!”

Junhyuk used his jumping skill to reach the mantis.
