Chapter 24: Victory 1

Translator: - - Editor: - -

He saw Minota run toward Artlan, and Artlan also ran toward Minota. The heroes fought in big battles known as Hanta. They could fight for a long time, but if they fought honestly, the fight would be short. This fight came after the previous battles, when their opponents died many times, and there was a big difference between the items they were carrying on each side.

Junhyuk thought his side had an advantage, but he saw MInota rushing, and his hairs stood straight out of fear. Minota was used to hitting his opponent and then stepping on them. Other heroes didn’t like to deal with him because he rushed in with immense strength.

He could rush with great speed, and it looked like he used his power to increase his artificial speed. A hero might be able to escape his rush, but if a hero was careless, he would die.

Minota didn’t start by rushing. As Minota ran toward Artlan, Artlan also ran toward him. The distance between the two shortened, and Junhyuk watched them with his mouth dry.

If the distance was too great, he wouldn’t be able to transfer his protective force field, and it would create a dangerous situation.

Junhyuk ran in front of the minions because of the distance he had to cover. Artlan got closer to Minota and shouted:

"Now!"

Artlan bent his legs, and, at that moment, Junhyuk put a field around him.

"Right on!"

Minota stomped the ground as he rushed forward. The ground underneath his stomps broke apart, and he ran so fast Junhyuk had a hard time keeping up with him through naked eyes, but Artlan had already jumped over Minota and was charging toward the enemy camp.

Warren jumped up to face Artlan. No attacks would work against the field, but Warren also knew he could make the field bounce away by applying external physical force.

Warren jumped up and assaulted Artlan with his claws. As Warren attacked, Artlan bent his waist backward in midair. Even when wearing the protective field, parrying an attack was something you did when you were still on the ground. In midair, parrying made him bounce off, so he escaped the attack.

Warren aimed for Artlan’s head, but Artlan swung his saber.

Slash!

Warren covered himself with his arm quickly, which was slashed instead of his body. Artlan passed by Warren, and Grangsha was holding his shield and sickle and aimed at Artlan. He stepped on Grangsha’s shield and jumped.

Artlan was heading toward the deepest place in the enemy camp where Libya was preparing her magic.

Libya had also experienced Junhyuk’s protection, so she stepped aside while throwing a ice spear. Artlan dodged the spear and got closer as he wielded his saber.

Artlan meant business against Libya, and Ellic, who was standing next to her, ran toward him, but when Artlan was on the ground, he was not very susceptible to attacks.

Libya looked at Artlan closing in on her and went up in the air. Diane had been waiting for Libya to go up in air and shot her arrows.

Libya turned her body in midair and dropped on the ground. An arrow came close to her shoulder, barely touching it, but left it injured and made it bleed.

It was not time to relax, yet. She moved to a spot just a step away from Artlan.

"It’s only because of that protection."

If he hadn’t been wearing the protective field, when he jumped toward Libya, he would have been dead. She would have used her ice powers to slow him down, and the other heroes would have attacked him as a group, but because of that field, they couldn’t mount a successful attack, and it all made Artlan very aggressive and very effective.

On the other hand, Minota did not stop rushing even though Artlan had disappeared. Artlan was attacking the rear of his position, and Minota thought he should do the same against the heroes with powers.

Vera or Diane, he wanted to stop at least one of them. He continued rushing when Nudra flew in suddenly and kicked him.

Nudra’s kick was intended to push him away. It did not carry any shock power, but it had the power to bounce things away just like Minota’s rush. Minota looked at the flying Nudra and rushed harder.

Boom!

The ground shook from the shock, and Nudra’s body was in the air, but Minota also bounced off from the hit. Minota couldn’t get back to his own camp, but he slid to the side, away from everything.

Minota disappeared from the scene, and they saw Libya at the opposing camp. Artlan was attacking Libya, and the enemy heroes aimed at Artlan. Suddenly, Halo stepped forward.

Halo could cover quite a long distance and attack. He closed in with the enemy in a moment and pulled out his sword. Drawing out his sword, Halo attacked Libya. Libya lifted up her hand and made a rose on top of it. Its petals soon made countless leaves that flew everywhere, but Halo sliced Libya’s arm.

"Aargh!"

With her arm sliced, Libya moved back quickly while Grangsha stepped in between the two and held up his shield.

Clang!

Halo was swinging his sword to finish off Libya, but it got stuck on Grangsha’s shield. Then, Warren raised his claws and aimed at Halo.

All of sudden, there were two enemies on Halo. The heroes had similar power levels. It all depended on the equipments they carried, but it was not easy to handle two heroes by oneself.

Halo blocked the attacks from the two while Artlan’s protective shield disappeared. Artlan was being attacked by Libya and Ellic. It was easier to parry Ellic’s attack, but Libya’s magic had a frost effect, and frost slowed down the opponent’s body.

In that situation, Ellic’s attack became dangerous. Artlan wielded both of his sabers, blocking their attacks and shouted.

"What are you doing?"

"We are done preparing!"

Vera lifted her hand, and, suddenly, meteorites fell from the sky. The meteorites had black flames around them, and, as they fell, they lit fires through the enemy camp.

Boom, boom, boom!

They made loud noises and fell in the center of the enemy camp. After crashing, they created fire pillars that reached up to the sky.

They were so powerful that nothing could survive the meteorite attack but the heroes.

The enemy heroes were wounded by the meteorites and were covered in ash. They were still alive when arrows took to the sky. A covert arrow was shot and went through Libya’s forehead.

It took time to prepare, but they had meant to deliver the fatal blow with just one attack. It was enough to kill magicians with one blow, especially when they were hurt.

Libya was dead. She was the most dangerous hero among the enemy. This Hanta ended in a victory.

Artlan knew Libya was dead, so he attacked Ellic, who had a hard time defending himself, and it wasn’t the end of the magic.

Vera threw a flame spear, and Ellic dodged it by dropping to the ground.

Ellic had already been hit directly by Vera’s meteorite, and if he was hit with any more magic, he would be in a hard place, but then, he tried too hard.

Artlan pushed Ellic relentlessly. Ellic had already experienced one death in the previous battle, and he had dropped an item, making himself weaker, and Artlan had picked up several items, which made him more powerful. Also, Ellic had already been hit by Vera’s meteorite.

He couldn’t depend on his colleagues. Grangsha and Warren were weakened by the meteorites, and were still fighting Halo.

Halo had some space while fighting Warren and Grangsha. Grangsha and Warren looked at each other, and Warren nodded and howled:

Hooowl!

It’s was a long and loud howl. The red-eyed Warren’s wounds were healing quickly. The loud howl froze Halo, who couldn’t move for a moment. Grangsha struck Halo’s sword with his shield.

Halo’s sword went down, and Grangsha wielded his sickle, aiming at Halo’s neck. Even a hero died from a sliced neck.

Then, arrows flew toward Grangsha. Diane handled her longbow expertly, and it looked like the arrows flew in a single line.

The arrows travelled fast, and Grangsha could not ignore them. He got angry and lifted his shield.

Thuck, thuck, thuck, thuck, thuck!

Five arrows hit Grangsha’s shield, and he stepped back while Warren targeted Halo.

Slash, slash!

Halo wielded his sword in a frenzy, but Warren looked victorious. It was not easy to regain momentum once you lost it.

Warren attacked Halo while Grangsha held his shield up and ran toward Vera and Diane. The enemy had to stop those two’s attacks to regain momentum.

Vera smiled and extended her hands toward Grangsha, who was running toward her.

From her hands, she made a black firewall from the ground to the sky. Gransha swung his sickle at the wall and sliced it. Arrows followed the opening toward Grangsha.

Thuck, thuck, thuck!

Grangsha tried to stop the arrows from hitting him, and Vera threw another flame spear.

Bang!

The arrows were powerful, but Grangsha was holding his shield and blocked all them. However, he couldn’t stop Vera’s magic so easily. Grangsha retreated, and Vera shouted:

"I will take care of it here. Go help Halo!"

"OK."

Diane used her longbow as she ran.

"You won’t get there!"

Grangsha was turning like a top on the spot and holding his sickle. He marked his territory with his attack, and Diane was within range.

Diane was really surprised and took a step back, and Vera also distanced herself. Grangsha’s attack was really dangerous, and he was trying to buy more time.

Vera and Diane retreated while Warren dealt with Halo, but it did not go as planned.

"Aaaah!

With a loud scream, Ellic fell to the ground. Ellic inflicted a wound on Artlan before he fell. Artlan’s left arm was cut through, but he still slashed Ellic’s neck.

Artlan threw the saber he was holding toward Warren’s back.

Warren felt the saber moving toward him and jumped up. He escaped the saber, and, at that moment, Halo turned to look up.

Halo bent his knees and jumped. He went up while turning his body, and his sword sliced Warren.

If Warren hadn’t protected himself with both arms, he would have been dead and sliced in half. Warren’s arms were bloodied, and he kicked at Halo.

Bang!

Warren shot Halo off toward the ground. Since Artlan was wounded, it was easier for Warren to deal with him over Halo.

Warren went after Artlan, and Halo chased after Warren. Halo’s rush was astonishingly fast, and the distance between the two was getting smaller.

Junhyuk looked at the situation and shouted:

"Watch o-!"

Before Junhyuk had a chance to finish his sentence, from Halo’s side, Minota rushed out at him and hit him on his ribs.

Bang!

With a loud noise, Halo flew twenty meters and got stuck on a tree. He was seriously wounded. This time, Minota targeted Artlan and ran.

The two enemies were too much for a wounded Artlan.
