Chapter 416: The Last Member 2

Junhyuk decided they should immediately head out. He was sure their enemies would be strong this time. The teams had been weak during team selection, but now it was different. Now, the enemies had also selected their teammates. They must have worked hard together before that match, so the difficulty would be different. The enemies might try to shut down the allies’ offense, and even if they couldn’t, they would still be strong.

His previous enemies had lacked a way to deal with Junhyuk, but nothing was certain now.

Looking around, Junhyuk said, “Rodrey and I will take the right path. Gongon, you head left like last time. Layla and Sarang will take middle.”

Layla readily agreed, “OK. Once things are settled in the buff tower, I’ll head out to support the others.”

Sarang had long range attacks, so she was the best option to take full advantage of the watchtower’s defenses.

Junhyuk turned to Elise and said, “Elise, you go with Gongon.”

“Sure!”

He turned to Gongon and added, “Do look after her so that she won’t die.”

“She’ll be safe by the tower,” Gongon replied while looking at Elise.

Junhyuk continued, “Elise, if you die, stay in the castle. Experts have an extra life, but if you die twice, that’ll be the end of it.”

“Of course.”

Junhyuk clapped his hands together and said, “Just like last time, each group will take a hundred minions. They are a big part of the battles ahead, so use them well.”

“Right!”

Everyone agreed, and Rodrey said, “I heard the middle is important. I’m going right?”

“The middle is important, but we can’t ignore the sides. If they focus the fight in the middle, we can use the sides to advance.”

Rodrey crossed his arms and said, “OK. This is my first time here, so I’ll do as you say.”

Looking around, Junhyuk concluded, “Time is gold. Let’s start.”

All heroes started moving, and Junhyuk headed out with Rodrey. The minions followed them, and Rodrey asked, “Each type of minion has a special attribute, correct?”

“That’s right. Our minions specialize in defense.”

The allied minions were human, and they were weaker than monster-type minions. That was probably why they carried shields.

“Hm… But their range is short.”

“Nothing we can do about that,” Junhyuk replied. Then, he said, “Rodrey, my powers are force field, teleportation, Spatial Slash, and Spatial Collapse.”

Showing Junhyuk his knives, Rodrey said, “My basic attack is a long range attack. This is my first time in the Dimensional Battlefield, so I’m not sure about the range, but I know it’s far.”

Gongon could become a tank, so if Rodrey had long range attacks, Junhyuk did not see the need to complain. Rodrey didn’t have any equipment, so his powers should be great.

“What are your powers?”

While juggling his knives, Rodrey said, “Only four of my skills qualify as powers. I can throw seven knives in a row. I can throw knives in all directions at the same time with me as the center. I can chase down and retreat from an enemy. Finally, I can damage an entire area.”

Rodrey’s powers seemed rather directional, and Junhyuk thought they went well as powers for long range fighters.

“OK. Let’s go meet our enemies.”

“Sure.”

Junhyuk would be able to measure Rodrey’s attack damage more accurately than the others. Rodrey was on his team now, and he wouldn’t leave the hero to die in combat. Instead, he wanted to get Rodrey more items.

He also wanted to measure Rodrey’s sense of battle and his understanding of fights.

Rodrey seemed to be carrying basic equipment, so he would act as support and help Rodrey get more items. By getting more items, Rodrey would get stronger and do his part as a member of his team.

Junhyuk told Rodrey about Nightmare Mountain and about how he had won so far. Rodrey smiled.

“So, that’s how it works?” After some thought, Rodrey asked, “What’s the most important thing?”

“Items and powers are important, but more important than those things is how we work as a team.”

“Yeah?!”

“You can buy items, but you can’t buy teamwork. We’ll only get angry and frustrated if we don’t work together.”

Rodrey stared at him and asked, “What do you think about your skill level?”

Junhyuk took a moment to think and replied, “I’m a nuisance to anyone I fight.”

Junhyuk had his force field, and he could teleport, which could be used for both attack and defense. On top of that, his Spatial Slash and Spatial Collapse were extremely difficult to counter.

Rodrey smiled and said, “OK. It’ll be better to learn by fighting than talking.”

At that moment, Junhyuk asked Rodrey something he was curious about, “Rodrey, you’ve just signed your contract, right? Did the manager let monsters loose on your planet?”

“Monsters loose? On my planet?”

“It happened on my planet.”

Rodrey laughed and replied, “If that had happened to me, I would’ve thrown a knife at that manager’s forehead.”

That meant that Rodrey had never attacked a manager. Junhyuk mulled the information over for a bit, but shrugged it off.

“That’s the first watchtower.”

Rodrey looked at the watchtower and spotted the enemies. He was very interested in the enemies, so he stepped forward. Junhyuk followed him.

One of the enemies was riding a skeleton horse while holding a large scythe. It was a Death Knight. The Death Knight was a hero, so he wasn’t a simple monster.

An undead was standing next to him. The undead was holding a large bow, which meant he probably attacked from long range.

The minions were skeletons, and they had shields and swords, just like the human minions.

Rodrey stepped forward and shouted, “My name is Rodrey! I want to know your names!”

Junhyuk was a little surprised by that. Were their names important?

The Death Knight rode the skeleton horse forward and said, “I’m Alondo.”

The undead hero holding the bow smiled and stepped forward.

“I’m Penslin.”

Alondo stared at Junhyuk and asked, “What is your name?”

Exchanging names was a bit funny for Junhyuk, but he was also aware that he would have to fight that team several times. In that case, introducing himself wasn’t a bad thing.

“I’m Junhyuk Lee.”

Alondo and Penslin stared at him.

“You are Junhyuk Lee?”

“You know of me?”

“You were famous in the Champions’ Battlefield.”

Junhyuk shrugged and replied, “Now that we know each other’s name, let’s fight.”

He measure the distance between them. The teams were about sixty meters apart, so he turned to the allied minions and said, “Get ready for battle!”

The allied minions were tense. The skeleton minions were heading toward them, and the allied minions would have to fight even if they didn’t want to.

Junhyuk turned to Rodrey and asked, “Are you ready?”

“I am.”

Rodrey pulled out his knives and took a deep breath. Were the heroes in front of him different from the weaklings Junhyuk had come across so far?

Without thinking too much about it, Junhyuk stepped forward. He would attack immediately and find out the answer. He wanted to attack the enemy that could attack from long range, and the Spatial Slash would kill, undead or not.

Junhyuk closed in, and the undead readied an arrow and pulled his bow. The hero knew about the Spatial Slash, but he did not care. Junhyuk got closer and used the Spatial Slash. At the same time, Penslin loosed an arrow.

“What!?”

The Spatial Slash pierced Penslin’s neck as the arrow flew at Junhyuk. Junhyuk accelerated and twisted his body to dodge it. He wouldn’t allow a critical hit, but he wanted to know the enemy’s strength, so he let himself get hit on the shoulder.

Junhyuk gritted his teeth. The damage was shocking. It took 12 percent off his health even after flying over fifty meters. Junhyuk had considered that to be the arrow’s maximum range, but the damage was also impressive.

He inspected Penslin. The Spatial Slash had pierced Penslin’s neck, but it only dealt 44 percent of damage to the hero’s health.

Penslin already had another arrow ready, and Junhyuk got closer. He knew his own attack hadn’t been a critical by considering the damage was only 44 percent.

The undead didn’t receive a lot of damage, even from critical hits. However, Junhyuk wouldn’t use his Spatial Collapse yet. He wanted to watch Rodrey fight first.

As he got closer, Alondo took off on the skeleton horse. It’s speed was extremely fast, and Alondo headed toward him.

Junhyuk couldn’t respond to the horse’s speed. He triggered his acceleration right as Along swung his scythe.

Junhyuk used both swords to block the attack, and the whole world turned upside down. Alondo had flipped him, and that’s and Rodrey threw two knives at Alondo.
