Chapter 95: New Power 1

Translator: – – Editor: – –

Halo stepped back nervously, and Diane brought over some minions.

“Be careful. When she uses her pistols, she has a shorter range, but she fires more often. However, she fires less often with the rifle, but the range and lethality increase,” she said.

“She is difficult. What’s her power?”

“Her name is Killa. When she uses her pistols, she can fire ten rounds. A single bullet doesn’t do much damage, but if someone takes all taken shots, that person is a goner,” she said while she nocked an arrow on her bow.

After Diane said that, Junhyuk gulped. Killa is extremely dangerous!

“And she has a type of jumping skill that she uses to get close or run away. She can also fire while in the air.”

With continuous fire and jumping, it wouldn’t be easy to escape from her.

“She aims when she uses her rifle just like I do with my bow.”

“Your bow is your ultimate attack.”

“I deal more damage, but her rifle’s range is longer, and her preparation time is shorter.”

“Did you see her ultimate?”

“No.”

So far, Diane had used deterrence to gather information on Killa, so she hadn’t seen her ultimate.

Junhyuk looked at everyone.

“What are you going to do?”

Halo also looked at the group.

“Not much. Before the others arrive, we should get it done.”

“If we get close, she’ll kill us.”

“We can block one bullet and, after that, we should get as close as possible. However, I’ll use my flash attack to give chase when Killa jumps. With the exception of the first attack, we’ll need your force field.”

Junhyuk nodded.

“I have a favor to ask.”

“What is it?”

“Let’s leave Sarang at the tower.”

Halo looked at Sarang.

“That’s a good idea.”

“I can help!” Sarang protest, and Diane put a hand on her by the shoulder.

“Her attack’s range is longer than your power’s range. Even if you come, you can’t help.”

Sarang looked at Junhyuk, and he also placed a hand on her shoulder.

“Wait here. We will be back.”

“Be careful. Don’t die on me.”

“Of course,” he said and shifted his gaze to Halo. “Let’s go.”

Halo nodded.

“You stand at the center,” he said.

Halo stood in front of Junhyuk. Vera and Diane stood to Junhyuk’s left and right. They were ready.

“Let’s go.”

Halo looked back. The minions shielded themselves and rushed forward. They would be bait for the enemy riflemen. The group ran toward the enemy tower, and Killa aimed her rifle at Halo and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Junhyuk witnessed the heroes’ power. They could hit bullets in the air, and Halo blocked the shot. They got closer, and as they get closer, Killa pulled out her pistols. Diane had said the pistols had a shorter range, so she drew her bow and loosened the arrow. It flew as Killa hid herself among the riflemen.

Boom!

The explosive arrow killed many riflemen and injured Killa. The watchtower’s archers responded with arrows of their own. Even heroes couldn’t ignore the archers and the rain of arrows. They were a hundred feet out, which would take three seconds to cover running.

“Let’s begin!” Halo shouted.

Junhyuk launched a force field around himself. With him at the center, everyone ran as fast as they could, including Junhyuk. Soon, they would close in on Killa. She was firing her pistols along with the archers’ arrows. The pistols popped off quickly like kernels of popcorn cooking, but they were still getting closer. Junhyuk’s force field blocked every attack, and finally, they got close enough for the group to attack Killa.

Wearing her Crimson Earring, Vera cast her magic first. A fire spear flew toward Killa, and she jumped back. Her jump covered a distance of about sixty-five feet.

Diane shot off continuously. Five arrows flew toward Killa, and she couldn’t dodge all of them. She was hit by two on the shoulder and, still holding on to her pistols, she turned to retreat.

She moved very quickly and started putting some distance between them, and Halo clicked his tongue.

“I’ll get closer,” he said and used his flash attack.

Like a lightning bolt, Halo covered the distance and attacked Killa with his sword. She managed to block it with her pistol, but she was hurt because Halo had used his power.

Killa staggered heavily, and Vera set a fire orb behind her. Vera’s fire spear, and Diane’s explosive arrow traveled through the air at the same time, and Killa aimed both pistols forward. Right then, the force field ran out of time, making her pistols look even more dangerous.

Killa’s dual pistols could create shockwaves, and she swept everything from all directions with the shockwaves.

Boom!

Halo was launched back, and Junhyuk rolled on the ground with him. Vera’s spear was closing in, but Vera staggered with the shockwave, and Killa took advantage of that to attack her.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Ten bullets flew toward Vera. Killa’s health was nearly gone, but she was still dangerous. Diane moved quickly and loosened more arrows, but Killa jumped again and escaped. Vera had been hit and was losing consciousness.

Junhyuk gritted his teeth. Killa was dying, but while escaping, she was inflicting an insane amount of damage.

Killa pulled out her rifle, and Junhyuk ran toward her. Killa was a marksman. She used her pistols for her ultimate, but she used her rifle for her regular attack. However, Junhyuk couldn’t handle her regular attack.

Killa could have equipped herself to boost her attacks, and everything about it was dangerous for Junhyuk, and yet, he still stepped forward.

Halo had been pushed back, and it seemed like Killa had the highest movement speed among heroes. Junhyuk had to chase her down, so he ran as fast as he could while Killa aimed her rifle at him.

“You are the man I need to kill.”

The rifle’s shots weren’t continuous, but each bullet was dangerous. Junhyuk focused and noticed that Killa wasn’t retreating. He would be able to get close.

Bang!

As Killa pulled the trigger, Junhyuk teleported. That move was dangerous, and Junhyuk showed up right in front of her. The teleportation range was short, so he wasn’t able to teleport behind her. Instead, he trusted the information Diane had given him.

Because Killa was using the rifle, she couldn’t reload and fire fast enough. He thought he had the advantage wielding two swords, so Junhyuk attacked her. Ordinarily, Killa couldn’t be killed by Junhyuk, but at that moment, it was different.

If he delivered the right blow, she would die. So, Junhyuk slashed at her as fast as possible. If he couldn’t kill her, he would still keep her busy and at that place. Diane wasn’t too far away. She would join him soon enough.

Killa realized she couldn’t escape alive, so she wanted to kill Junhyuk, but his attacks didn’t give her an opening to use her rifle. She used the rifle to block them, but his swords moved faster and faster. He slashed her ribs and her shoulder. The damage was mounting, so she put away her rifle and grabbed a pistol with her left hand. At close range, a pistol could kill him.

Bang!

The pistol’s muzzle blazed, but Junhyuk teleported again. This time, he was behind her and he swung his swords at her neck. Even though she was a hero, she couldn’t survive an attack like that. A gash opened across Killa’s neck, and blood gushed out of it like a waterfall. Junhyuk pushed the Blood Rune Sword deeper into her wound.

“Gluck!”

As Killa started disappearing, Junhyuk whispered in her ear:

“You knew about me, but there is something you don’t know.”

Killa turned to look at him.

“The people who tried to kill me all died and leveled down. Remember that.”

Junhyuk moved the Blood Rune Sword sideways, beheading Killa, and he sighed, relieved.

“Destroy the tower!” Halo shouted as soon as Killa died.

Even though he was hit by the shockwaves, he was not in danger. Halo attacked while Junhyuk picked up the leather arm warmer Killa dropped and ran toward Vera.

Vera was mortally wounded. It would be hard for her to stay alive. Diane was standing next to her, attacking the tower. However, Diane couldn’t save her. When Junhyuk arrived, she sighed.

“Take me out of the tower’s range.”

“OK.”

Junhyuk carried her, inspecting her wounds. Vera’s attack was higher than her defense, and her items only increased that gap. Killa’s ultimate and continuous shooting had taken a toll on her. She wasn’t dead, but she would die soon.

“Are you hurt badly?”

“Yeah. The crazy bitch did something so that the bleeding won’t stop.”

Junhyuk was suddenly scared. Killa had a very high attack, and the wound kept inflicting damage. If he were to be hit, he would die.

They are well out of the range of the tower, and Vera activated the return. She looked at him and smiled.

“Be careful. I’ll be back soon.”

He looked at her disappearing and looked at his hands covered in her blood and thought about how dangerous his new opponents were. He trusted the allied heroes, but some of them had already died once. He had to increase his attack.

Sarang walked over and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Big brother.”

Junhyuk turned, and she stared at him.

“Must you put yourself in danger?”

“I had to kill her.”

“I know that. You have to be more careful!”

He had dealt with a hero alone, and Sarang’s heart trembled. Still, Junhyuk understood where she was coming from and gave her a hug.

“Don’t worry. I don’t die so easily.”

Sarang was shaking slightly, and Junhyuk watched the rest of the group approach after they destroyed the tower.

“Are you OK?”

“I was about to ask you the same thing. You are fearless,” Halo said, and Junhyuk smiled.

“I couldn’t let her get away.”

“You did well.”

Halo patted his shoulder and looked at Diane.

“We should go to the dimensional merchant.”

“Are we not giving the others a hand?” Diane asked, and Halo nodded, sheathed his sword and looked at her purposefully.

“We can’t continue like this.”

“True. I meant to go to Bebe’s as well,” she yawned and slapped Junhyuk’s butt. “Let’s go.”

Junhyuk wanted to ask her if her hand hurt after slapping his armor.
