The ten-second period was a short time, the shortest, but at that point, it was all the time in the world for Junhyuk.
He had decided to kill Regina. She had already used her ultimate, and he had dealt some damage to her with his Spatial Slash. After the time passed, he would be able to use the Spatial Slash again.
Junhyuk turned around and swung his sword at her, but Regina blocked it with her cutlass. This time, he had swung the Blood Rune Sword, and a blood-colored shockwave spread out with her as the focus point.
She was already mixed in with the riflemen. With her as the center, the shockwave covered a ten-meter radius and swept through the riflemen. The damage dealt was enough to kill them in one hit. Even with him only dealing half damage, the blow wasn't something a rifleman could withstand.
The minions were dead. Inside the circle, only Regina, Doctor Tula, Adolphe and Bater remained.
Junhyuk learned one more thing when he attacked Regina. Regina herself could block his strike, but with her as the center, the shockwave generated couldn't be blocked by the others. Doctor Tula and Adolphe had received damage, and he learned all he had to do from the damage they had received. Suddenly, he swung both of his swords like a whirlwind.
Regina blocked his strikes easily. Junhyuk had been to the Dimensional Battlefield constantly risking his life swinging his swords, but Regina was a natural born hero. It had been very easy for her to block all of his attacks with her cutlass. However, the people next to her continued to be affected by the shockwaves and receive damage. Then, the others finally retreated.
Regina also retreated, and Junhyuk gave up on killing her for the moment. Previously, Junhyuk had jumped down from the castle wall without hesitation because he could return by teleportation. He wouldn't follow her now because he couldn't kill her. If he followed her it would mean dying like a dog on the street.
He turned around and saw Bater with a smile on his face. His fists were pointing straight at Junhyuk.
Junhyuk saw him, gritted his teeth and ran toward his assailant, but Bater laughed and fired the rocket punches.
Boom!
Junhyuk had the force field around him and wasn't hurt, but the rocket punches pushed the force field backward very far with him still inside, and he thought once again that Bater was a hard opponent to deal with.
Two seconds remained, and he was twenty meters away from the wall.
Junhyuk ran to the wall, but Bater had made up his mind and rushed after him. Junhyuk knew he couldn't teleport because he would fall short of the wall, but he couldn't allow himself to be rushed and pushed farther back. He teleported.
He passed Bater and appeared close to the wall but still seven meters from the castle itself, and the force field disappeared.
From behind him, Regina fired continuously. Junhyuk didn't turn around and used his jump skill instead. When he made it to the top, he turned to look at his enemies.
Bater wasn't expecting him to escape and clicked his tongue. They all looked at him once and turned around. Even for heroes with high health, the buffed archers' attacks were too much to withstand. The rest of the riflemen were being massacred by the archers.
They shouldn't have rushed in the first place. Junhyuk had jumped down and attacked Regina, and his attacks had already killed most of the riflemen. The allied minions raised their shields and swung their swords to survive, and the archers gave them support. Most of the riflemen were dead. They had gotten too close to the archers and wouldn't survive.
Junhyuk stopped looking at the dying riflemen. The heroes had distanced themselves from the archers, but now they were running toward the castle again and wouldn't leave Junhyuk in peace so that he'd be able to use his power again.
Junhyuk looked at them coming and raised his sword. He might use Spatial Slash again, so once the heroes saw him raising the sword, they dispersed instinctively.
