Chapter 567: Ferocious Battle 2

When the thunderbolts crashed down on Kilraden, the enemy hero was also paralyzed. Thunderstorm could trigger a paralysis, but the rate was rather low. Elise took the opportunity to shoot Kilraden, and Junhyuk slashed him with Aksha’s Longsword.

Gongon, who was enlarged, kicked Kilraden’s side, and the hero faded away.

Two enemy heroes had died. The allies were winning, so Sarang shot off two electric blasts. Kraken and Adolphe were hit and paralyzed.

Embla swung her bat, but Layla blocked it and countered. Embla was a buffer and specialized mostly in buffing, so Layla was having her way with the enemy hero.

Some of the others were also attacking Embla. Gongon clashed against Kraken, and Junhyuk attacked Adolphe. Sarang and Elise were helping Junhyuk, but during that time, the allied force field disappeared.

Adolphe launched himself toward Layla. He had to be stopped, so Elise had Zaira block his path. Adolphe swung his sword down at Zaira.

Clang!

Adolphe launched Zaira away and tried to use his ultimate, but Elise had gotten close enough to him and triggered her nullification field.

Everyone was within range of her field, so Junhyuk moved quickly to attack the enemy heroes.

Layla was recovering because of Elise’s buff. Sarang had healed her as well, but Adolphe’s ultimate would still kill her.

The allies had been able to pull ahead because Junhyuk was able to deliver the first blow. He had managed to kill the champion before she could act, which was awesome.

Nevertheless, the allies still had to kill the remaining enemy heroes. On top of that, they couldn’t lose anyone. If any of them died, they would have to wait for them to rejoin the group.

For them to fight as a team, they had to have all five heroes together.

The allied team couldn’t deal with the enemy team with three of four heroes like in the past. This was the semifinal round.

If they met Artlan’s team in the final round, that would be hell. Even if that were not the case, they would go up against a team that would have defeated Artlan’s team. That would be an even greater problem.

For team fights, all heroes had to be present in this round.

Adolphe was still inside Elise’s nullification field, so Junhyuk attacked him with all of his strength. Adolphe scowled and swung his sword at Junhyuk.

However, Junhyuk had changed from his previous self. Without his powers, Adolphe was having a hard time. Elise stood between Adolphe and Layla, and Sarang positioned herself behind Junhyuk, also attacking Adolphe.

Adolphe was a true here, but with three heroes attacking him, openings started to appear.

The nullification field ran out, and Adolphe quickly triggered his ultimate. He realized he couldn’t kill Layla now, so he attacked Sarang.

Junhyuk couldn’t do anything. Adolphe was moving incredibly fast. The hero’s attacked passed right through Junhyuk to reach Sarang.

She lost 55 percent of her health at once, but Elise had buffed Sarang, so her defense had increased.

Junhyuk slashed at Adolphe. His ultimate was over, but Adolphe raised his sword above his head and it down on Sarang with the ten-meter strike.

Junhyuk dove toward Sarang and pushed her out of the way, getting hit by the blade instead.

Adolphe scowled and slammed his shoulder against Junhyuk, pushing through him toward Sarang. Suddenly, a red beam appeared around the enemy heroes.

Junhyuk knew that was Embla’s ultimate Adolphe attack stat was being increased by 20 percent, but he had already used all of his damaging powers.

Adolphe stabbed his sword into the ground, and two blue energy rings shot out of the ground and tied Junhyuk and Sarang up. The allied heroes were now sitting ducks for critical hits.

Adolphe slashed Sarang, a critical hit. She bled profusely and lost 15 percent of her health.

He raised his saw-bladed sword again, striking down at her once more. Sarang was losing chunks of health with each strike. She could die at any moment.

Adolphe still had 62 percent of his health, but suddenly, a fireball shot out in his direction, striking him hard.

Boom!

Adolphe was pushed back, and Junhyuk repositioned himself in front of Sarang. Adolphe lost a massive amount of health. Gongon could deal the most damage of all of the allies.

Junhyuk’s Dimensional Slash had come off cooldown. He used one of his swords to stab Adolphe deeply. Adolphe tried to counter, but at the same time, Junhyuk used his Dimensional Slash on the enemy hero.

Slash!

A slice appeared on Adolphe’s neck, which shot out blood like a fountain. Adolphe started fading, and Junhyuk sighed, relieved. It had been close, but the allies had managed to kill Adolphe.

Embla and Kraken were still alive, so Junhyuk ran toward Kraken and shouted, “Kill Embla!”

Layla didn’t have a lot of health, but Sarang and Elise could kill Embla together. Embla was a buffer, so other than that, she had no other powers. Her defense was also rather low, so killing her wouldn’t be hard.

Junhyuk inspected Kraken’s health. The hero only had 32 percent of his health left. Kraken was also lacking offensive powers. He was a tank.

Gongon, who still had a lot of health, shouted, “I’ll kill Kraken!”

“Sure. I’m only trying to keep him from rampaging.”

Sarang also didn’t have much health. He didn’t want to give Kraken the opportunity to kill her. For that reason, he was blocking Kraken’s path to her.

Gongon’s ultimate had run out. He was small again, but he was still attacking Kraken. Without his transformations, what Gongon had learned from Nudra served for nothing. Still, Gongon’s movements were different from before.

Gongon rolled himself into a ball and launched himself high into the air. He came down attacking with kicks and tail whips. The difference in size between the two heroes was massive, but Gongon was still the one dealing the most damage.

Gongon was both a damager and a tank, and Kraken was being frustrated by that.

Junhyuk just watched as Gongon killed Kraken by himself.

It was like the fight between David and Goliath in the Valley of Death, and Gongon roared loudly when it was over.

“Ha-ha-ha! He was nothing! How dare he?!”

Junhyuk laughed and turned back. Embla was also dead. He looked at his team. Nobody had died, and they had managed to kill all of the enemy heroes.

He smiled and said, “It wasn’t easy, but we killed them all.”

“Because you killed that champion.”

Without getting rid of the champion, one of the allied heroes would have definitely died. And if the fight turned into four against five, things would’ve become extremely difficult.

“Shall we attack their castle?” he asked, and everyone agreed.

Because none of the allied heroes had died, their morale was shooting to the sky. The morale of the allied minions was also very high.

Junhyuk was glad for that. The enemy team had lost many minions, and 220 allied minions had survived.

The allied moved toward the enemy castle. The enemy team was waiting for them there, and Junhyuk could see them on the wall.

Kraken, Adolphe and Kilraden were outside the castle, whereas Potra and Embla remained inside.

Junhyuk frowned and said, “They might be able to strike first.”

The enemy champion had to be inside the castle. The gate was still up, so the allied team couldn’t enter the castle immediately. That meant that the champion could trigger the prison from a hundred meters away.

“Nothing we can do. You take the hit for the team,” Gongon said.

“Me?!”

“Right. You have your force field. All you gotta do is evade the imprisoning power.”

Junhyuk could do that by teleporting and triggering his force field.

Gongon was being logical, but Junhyuk felt bad about being the bait. Not only did Kraken have a stunning power, but Adolphe had his rush and slash on top of the blue energy rings. More than that, Kilraden could kill nearly anyone almost instantaneously.

Junhyuk turned to the allies and said, “Keep me alive.”

“You won’t die. Don’t worry and take point.”

“Right. I trust you.”

Gongon raised his rainbow weapon and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll keep you alive.”

Junhyuk followed their logic and allowed himself to act as bait for the enemy champion.

He gathered his breath, and Elise buffed him. He wanted to finish the battle quickly.

Sarang had healed him on the way, so he was at full health now.

Junhyuk could see the enemy champion on the way now. The enemy team was risking everything in this last team battle.

“Attack!” Gongon shouted, and the minions started running forward. Junhyuk moved among them.

The enemy minions came zooming toward the approaching allied minions and attacked. The enemy champion raised her hand. The imprisoning power might shoot off toward him at any moment, but Junhyuk war ready to teleport. He looked into the enemy champion’s eyes and teleported, retreating as he did.

But, the enemy champion was smiling.

“You are playing with me!”

Junhyuk dashed forward again. Kilraden was the most dangerous of the enemy heroes, and he wanted to kill the assassin first. He could do it if he used both his Dimensional Slash and his Spatial Collapse on Kilraden.

He might end up imprisoned, but he would survive. Junhyuk didn’t want to stay on the defensive. His mind was too focused on offense for that.

Kilraden was stealthing, but Junhyuk could sense him with his spatial sense. Junhyuk teleported and triggered his Spatial Collapse.
