Chapter 579: Offense and Defense 3
Layla could string her ultimate with her combo power, and after her four slashes, she could follow it up with her launch.
Junhyuk’s Dimensional Slash hit first, and Halo lost a chunk of his health. When Halo was launched into the air by Layla, Sarang shot lightning arrows at him, and Junhyuk threw Aksha’s Longsword.
While in the air, Halo used his sword shield to block the attacks.
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
All of the attacks were blocked, but Junhyuk didn’t care about Halo’s sword shield.
He teleported with the allies and reappeared above Halo’s head. Halo didn’t try to block at all. There was nothing he could do fighting three heroes at once.
When Halo landed, he immediately prepared Rain from Above. He only had 8 percent of his health left. With two more hits, Halo would die. However, Junhyuk’s force field was gone, and it seemed like Halo had been waiting for that.
The archers on the watchtower started shooting at the allies.
Artlan was the first to move. Junhyuk and Layla blocked Artlan’s sabers, but they were still damaged.
Neither of them could protect themselves when Halo flew at them. They didn’t want to get hit by Halo’s ultimate, but there was nowhere to hide. Yet, Rain from Above had been aimed at Sarang, who lost all of her health from the attack, triggering her invulnerability.
She had been hit by the meteors and had not recovered her health after.
Junhyuk had already thrown Aksha’s Longsword again by the time her invulnerability triggered, and Sarang shot Halo with lightning arrows. After both attacks hit, Halo disappeared.
Halo’s ultimate had a weakness. It left him defenseless after it was used. Junhyuk sighed, relieved, but at the same time, a fire spear came flying toward him.
Junhyuk raised both of his swords to block the attack.
Boom!
He was launched back by the impact, and an explosion triggered behind him. Vera had launched her fire spear after setting a fire orb at his back. After receiving that damage, he scowled hard.
Junhyuk had been hit by the meteors and two other attacks from Vera. He had blocked Artlan’s attack, but some damage had still gone through. Now, he only had 5 percent of his health left.
Artlan crouched. He had his sabers with him and was readying his ultimate. Junhyuk knew he would certainly die from the attack.
Immediately, Sarang healed him, and his health got back up to 45 percent. Artlan’s used his ultimate on him, and Junhyuk lost 30 percent of his health all at once. Junhyuk was able to attack Artlan at the same time as he was hit, but the problem wasn’t Artlan.
Artlan was practically a tank now, she he wasn’t that important.
Junhyuk blocked the fire arrows that came toward him and shouted, "Someone kill Vera!"
"We’ll go!"
Layla and Sarang both attacked her. Regular attacks would decide the battle, but Vera was powerful.
She could shoot her arrows while retreating, and all of the allies could end up dead because of that.
He couldn’t just leave Artlan behind. Thought Artlan was a tank, his powers still dealt a lot of damage. Artlan could dodge his Dimensional Slash, but his regular attacks were better than Artlan’s.
Junhyuk was low on health now, so
"You’ve chosen wrong."
Artlan ran toward him.
Junhyuk had passed the watchtower and started running toward the enemy castle, but he wasn’t worried about the distance. He could get back with his teleportation.
Artlan was charging toward him, and Junhyuk knew that the hero still had a power left. He couldn’t let himself be killed.
Junhyuk turned around and started running away.
"You can’t run from me!"
Looking back at Artlan, Junhyuk said, "I can’t die like this!"
"It’s OK. We had four. Dying won’t hurt your pride."
Junhyuk smiled. He was running away, but something made the exchange very pleasant to him. His teleportations would return before Artlan’s other powers. His cooldowns had shortened.
While running, Junhyuk contacted the two women. They were in the middle of dodging fire arrows.
"Where are you?"
"We are moving back toward our side."
Junhyuk checked the distance between them.
Artlan smiled at him then and stomped the ground, launching himself up. Artlan’s jump power had returned. As Artlan was coming down on him, Junhyuk lowered his swords to his sides.
"You want to die that badly?!"
"No, not really."
Junhyuk teleported, and Artlan crashed down on the spot where Junhyuk had been standing. Artlan looked around, but Junhyuk was gone.
"What!?"
At the same time, Junhyuk appeared in front of Vera and started running toward her.
Vera, who had been shooting fire arrows at the two women, turned her aim toward him.
Junhyuk got slammed by an arrows and made his calculations. His powers had returned, which meant that Vera’s powers were also back, and he didn’t have enough health to take her on.
The two women were also chasing after Vera, but they also didn’t have much health left.
Junhyuk accelerated, dodging Vera’s incoming attacks. When he could see the white of her eyes, Junhyuk aimed Aksha’s Longsword at her, but Vera smirked and dodged. Everyone had thought her to be just a mage, but Vera wasn’t an easy opponent at all. She dodged every one of his attacks.
"What is this?!"
Artlan and Halo could dodge his attacks, but he didn’t expect that from her. She slid across the ground, dodging another slash.
Junhyuk chased after her, and Vera smirked and shot fire arrows at him.
Then, the mage raised fire pillars in front of her, and the pillars continued to rise around the allies, surrounding them.
Junhyuk jumped out of the enclosure right before it closed, dodging the firewall that rose from the center of it. Junhyuk slashed at Vera relentlessly.
Clang, clang!
Two of his attacks were blocked, but the third slash hit. At the same time, Vera was encased in fire.
She hadn’t been damaged at all.
Junhyuk frowned at that but continued attacking. Vera was attacking him as well, and because they were close to each other, the fire arrows were getting through.
Boom!
Vera’s fire damage was extremely high, and Junhyuk started losing a lot of health quickly. Each arrow hit him for 8 percent of his health.
If this kept up, he would die soon. Junhyuk only had 7 percent of health left. He couldn’t allow himself to get hit anymore. His body had goosebumps.
"Junhyuk!" Layla shouted.
Junhyuk turned toward her. She hadn’t used all of her powers yet, so Junhyuk teleported to the two women and teleported again.
They had decided to kill Vera at the first chance, so Layla immediately attacked her with her katana. She was successful in landing her combo power.
There were three allies now, so when Vera shot her fire arrows at him, Junhyuk used Layla as cover.
He started attacking with the stretched Aksha’s Longsword from behind Layla, and Vera laughed at him and said, "You really are something!"
Sarang was attacking as well. Her powers had long cooldowns, however, and she wasn’t able to land a hit on Vera with her lightning arrows.
Vera’s powers were all focused on attack, but their cooldowns were really short. Once she had all of her powers back, the allies would definitely die.
"Hurry!"
Junhyuk could see Artlan running toward them in the distance. The enemy hero could kill him with a single attack.
Vera had a wide smile on her face. Her powers were back.
Junhyuk knew he couldn’t stay alive for long, so he used his Dimensional Slash. This time, the power hit Vera. However, with Layla as the center of it, the area suddenly exploded. A fire orb had detonated.
Boom!
Junhyuk lost all of his health. At the same time, a fire spear struck Sarang. Sarang didn’t die, but she had very little health left.
Sarang’s ultimate had already triggered.
There was nothing Junhyuk could say as the world turned black around him.
