Chapter 577: Offense and Defense 1
The allies occupied the buff tower and took the buff, and after that, Junhyuk contacted the others. Two enemy heroes had gone middle, so the three others had to have taken the side paths.
Junhyuk didn’t know who would go where, but he wanted to head out to help his allies.
The others hadn’t reached their watchtowers yet, so they hadn’t come up against any enemy heroes. Junhyuk turned to Gongon and said, "Teleporting won’t work. Will you jungle?"
Gongon’s damage was greater than his. Even Gongon’s regular attacks were better than Junhyuk’s set item effects.
After thinking about it, Gongon said, "Yes. I’ll take the portal and support the left side. I don’t know who’ll show up there, but I’m thinking just one hero will."
"Sure."
"Gongon would join Elise, and they would both attack the enemy hero. Even if the hero had a lot of defense, Elise could buff Gongon, making him even stronger.
Junhyuk decided to stay in the middle path.
"I’ll climb down the mountain, and with some luck, I’ll destroy the second watchtower."
If the enemy appeared. He could always run away. Junhyuk had his teleportations and the buff tower’s buff.
Gongon waved at him and went through the portal. Gongon looked down the middle path and ahead toward the castle. The gate to the enemy castle opened, and Artlan and Vera walked out.
He frowned. If he kept going, he would certainly meet them at the next watchtower, and there was no way he would be able to deal with both of them alone.
He didn’t know why or how Vera hadn’t been damaged by his Dimensional Slash, but he knew Artlan could dodge it with his sixth sense.
If he attacked them both now, he might as well commit suicice. On his way down, he contacted the others.
"Gon, there are two heroes coming up the middle. I’ll have to give up pushing."
"Should I join you?"
Junhyuk took a moment to think. Even if Gongon came back, he wouldn’t get to Junhyuk fast enough to join him. Junhyuk stopped walking then and said, "No. I’ll take the portal to the right path. I can push middle later."
It took an hour to reach the watchtowers on the side paths from where the portal dropped them. His plan was to kill the enemy heroes on the right side and return to the buff tower after.
Junhyuk turned around and saw that Vera had noticed him. They sped up to reach him, and Junhyuk smiled at them. Whoever controlled the middle path would control the battlefield. The allies had won the first battle, and to keep control over the battlefield, it was important that both him and Gongon moved quickly through the map.
Once he was back at the top of the mountain, Junhyuk went through the portal. He didn’t take the minions with him, however. He took the portal to the right path. As soon as he appeared, he took off teleporting and running.
It was possible the battle might be happening already. Sarang and Layla had previously told him they would wait for him, but thinking that they were already fighting, Junhyuk sped up. With the buff tower’s buff, his speed was truly incredible.
When he teleported, he noticed something had changed.
Junhyuk didn’t know much about the battlefield, but he knew about the inbetween space, and that’s why he wasn’t able to get the Dimensional Shift device to work.
However, while he couldn’t use
He had to use two of his teleportations to be able to do it, but his eyes beamed. He couldn’t select coordinates from his device, but he could keep track of the places he had been in his mind and teleport to them.
He wanted to run a few more experiments. First, the range of that type of teleportation.
Yet, Junhyuk simply sped up. He wanted to run tests now, but he had to help Sarang first.
Junhyuk had finally heard from Sarang that she was fighting her enemies with the help of the watchtower. Sarang and Layla were fighting Diane and Halo, and Junhyuk smiled bitterly when he found out.
Halo was Layla’s teacher, so he had to get there quickly to help.
Junhyuk knew from fighting Artlan that regular attacks wouldn’t work and that powers rarely worked.
Artlan could doge his Dimensional Slash with his sixth sense. In essence, Artlan was his foil.
Halo had to be her foil, so Junhyuk sped up even more.
When he reached the watchtower, he saw that the allied watchtower was nearly destroyed. The two hadn’t done a great job in protecting it.
Had the enemy heroes sent minions and attacked from long range, the tower would’ve crumbled. The watchtower was, however, still standing.
Junhyuk dashed forward and shouted, "I’m here!"
"Counterattack!" Layla shouted, moving out quickly. She attacked Halo, launching him into the air. After that, Layla launched her katana, but Diane shot an explosive arrow at her.
Boom!
The arrow hit Layla, and she lost a massive chunk of her health, 55 percent of it.
Diane’s bow was shining like a rainbow. Halo’s sword, however, was not shining.
Halo had twisted his body while in the air and came down on Layla, slashing her.
Junhyuk knew that Halo could jump, but he hadn’t known that Halo could attack from the air toward the ground.
Layla lost another chunk of her health, and Junhyuk bit his lips in response.
She only had 20 percent of her health left now, and that was only because Halo was a balanced hero.
Light green powder dropped over Layla’s head, and her health recovered to 60 percent. She was not a tank, so they were cutting into her like a piece of paper being torn up. Her had great items that could tank normal heroes, but the enemies attacking her were extremely powerful.
Diane readied an arrow, and Junhyuk teleported to Layla.
Clang!
He blocked Halo’s next attack, and Halo smirked.
"I heard what you did from Artlan."
"I got lucky."
Diane let go of the bowstring, and Junhyuk teleported away, escaping Diane’s attack with Layla.
Then, he scoped out both of the enemy heroes.
Diane had to have upgraded her items and, most of all, her bow. She was probably a stronger damager than Vera now. Halo seemed to have focused on defense.
Layla had upgraded her katana to +20, but she had only managed to deal 25 percent of damage to Halo.
Junhyuk gathered his breath. Of the allies there, he had the highest defense, so he had to kill Diane quickly.
He had one more teleportation left. He wanted to use his Spatial Collapse to kill. His force field he would use as a hail Mary later. However, he also had the Dimensional Slash.
Layla was low on health, but he wanted her to attack Diane as well.
Diane’s range was so long, but Junhyuk shrugged and said, "Let’s kill Diane first."
"Can you kill her in a single hit?"
"With my ultimate."
Junhyuk would use his ultimate, and the rest of the allies would focus on Diane as well. Diane was fast, but he had to get his ultimate to land on her.
Sarang stepped forward and said, "I’ll make things easier."
She could fire two electric blasts that could paralyze both enemy heroes.
"How’s Diane’s range?"
"Greater than mine. I’ll take at least one hit." Diane’s range was incredible, so Junhyuk thought about using his force field, but Sarang smiled and said, "You know… I have my invulnerability."
Sarang wouldn’t die when she faced death for the first time, so having her join them was the best option.
"Beware of her powers as well as her range."
"You should raised the force field."
Sarang stepped forward, and Halo faced off against her. Holding his sword diagonally, he walked toward her. Halo’s rush could cover a distance of twenty meters almost instantly. Diane was readying another arrow, but Sarang was just barely out of her range.
Junhyuk stepped forward and teleported with Sarang and Layla. When they reappeared, Sarang immediately cast her electric blast.
Halo evaded it, but Diane was paralyzed. Layla quickly moved off toward Diane.
Junhyuk used his Spatial Collapse, and Diane was locked in place while Layla used her ultimate. After that, Junhyuk stabbed the archer.
Two ultimates, a power and a regular attack. Diane couldn’t endure it. While fading, she smiled at him and said, "Junhyuk, I’ll see you when this battle is over," and caressed his butt.
Junhyuk could only laugh.
