Chapter 49: Return 1

Translator: - - Editor: - -

Skia disappeared, and four remained.

Among them, only Warren had not been hurt. The problem was that Warren killed Halo. After Halo died, there was no one left to protect Vera and Diane. Warren ran toward the two of them.

With the force field around him, Artlan killed Libya and was now fighting Minota and Ellic. His force field only had three seconds left.

However, when the force field disappeared, if his side supported him well, Artlan would still be able to deal with Minota and Ellic, since he was not wounded.

The problem was there was no one to deal with Warren.

Junhyuk stood in front of Vera. Warren’s eyes beamed after he saw Junhyuk.

Junhyuk took the front after he stepped forward to kill Skia. Behind him were Vera and Diane. Sarang was at the far back. Junhyuk took hold of his swords.

He had fought Warren before. The last time, he had almost died, but more importantly, he survived. He just needed time to kill Warren, and if the worst came to worst, he would just escape.

Junhyuk did not step aside, and Warren howled:

"Hoooowl!"

Junhyuk’s body froze. In that situation, he could get killed in just one blow. He broke into cold sweats.

Then, from behind Junhyuk, Sarang hit Warren with her energy flash.

Warren stopped right in front of Junhyuk. Both of them were frozen and stared at each other.

However, Junhyuk’s side had two heroes preparing their attacks. A fire spear flew over Junhyuk’s shoulder and hit Warren’s face, and a firewall appeared between Warren and Junhyuk.

Junhyuk moved back by using spatial relocation. From the back, Junhyuk watched Warren attempting to open the firewall with his claws when Diane hit him on the face with arrows.

Diane was holding her bow, and it was her time to attack. Warren turned his head, but an arrow tore his left eye up.

Ahead of him, there appeared a fire orb.

Boom!

Warren stepped back because of the continued attacks. He was already seriously wounded and, if he continued to attack Junhyuk, he might be killed.

Warren looked over at Artlan. He was fighting two Minotas because of doppelganger, and Ellic was missing a leg.

"We retreat!"

Warren went back quickly. Minota rushed at Artlan and began to run back. Vera looked at all of that and laughed a little.

"You must be joking."

Vera made a fire spear and hit Minota’s back while he was running.

Boom!

"Argh!" Minota screamed, and Diane’s arrows hit him in a row.

Finally, Minota turned grey and disappeared.

This team battle was a victory.

Ellic was missing a leg already when Artlan slashed his neck. Artlan picked up the dropped loot and walked over to the others.

"How are you?"

"I didn’t die, so it’s OK. I will heal on the way back."

"We don’t have time to go back."

"When Nudra joins us, we will attack."

Artlan was holding his saber when he looked at Junhyuk.

"Follow me. We will take care of the minions."

"OK."

Artlan ran while swinging his sabers. Looking at Artlan, Junhyuk also swung his swords. It was still awkward, but he wanted to learn from Artlan and he was getting better.

Junhyuk and Artlan sheathed their swords, and there were no more minions. Junhyuk picked up the gold coins and looked over to the surviving minions. There were only five left. They had fought well, but the enemy minions were stronger on the battlefield.

Junhyuk felt good there were surviving minions.

Soon, Nudra joined them. He saw the team battle was over and laughed.

"Then, we will bring an end to this fight."

"Right! Let’s go."

Nudra brought 300 minions with him, and they all moved toward the castle.

There were only fifty minions in front of the castle. Their side had 300 minions and the heroes.

The opposing side had Warren, and the four other heroes had died. Junhyuk’s side had a good chance at winning.

"Can Warren block us by himself?"

Artlan pointed with his chin and answered:

"Warren’s healing ability is astounding. He might draw our attacks while being supported by the archers and buy more time. As time passes, he will wait for the others’ resurrections."

"It’s a matter of time."

"Of course."

Artlan looked at Diane.

"Decrease the number of archers on the castle."

"Count on me."

Artlan pulled out a small marble from his waistband and shouted:

"Attack!"

All 305 minions moved. They clashed against the fifty enemy minions, and the archers loosened their arrows. The archers were already known to be accurate. The allies couldn’t rest easy just because they had the numbers advantage.

Diane shot the archers on the castle wall, and she dropped them one by one until Warren stepped forward. He meant to buy more time.

Junhyuk looked at Warren.

"Sarang, can you use your power?"

"Yes."

"Then, we will act as bait for Warren."

Junhyuk stepped forward, and Warren looked at him. Warren knew Junhyuk had the force field power. Junhyuk looked at Warren, then at Artlan.

"If the gate is destroyed, will Warren step forward?"

"It looks that way."

Artlan did not hesitate and stepped forward. He walked on a straight path toward Warren. Artlan was courageous, and Warren frowned.

Artlan could destroy the walls without attacking Warren.

Warren thought about fighting Artlan, but he was not an easy opponent. If he attacked, Artlan would counterattack. The archers shot their arrows, but they could all die from the heroes’ attacks.

Warren could not decide what to do. Meanwhile, Artlan got closer. Warren sighed and decided to attack.

Warren attacked him, and Artlan merely defended. Warren got in range of a fire spear.

Vera threw her fire spear and ran back out of range from the archers. She timed it perfectly, and Warren took the hit from the fire spear and aimed for Artlan.

"Hoooowl!"

With his howl, he froze Artlan and continued his attacks. Warren’s attacks left Artlan wounded, but Artlan only smiled.

Warren felt goosebumps and stepped back, but Nudra was already dropping on him.

Thunk!

Warren felt his knees weaken, and his paws were stuck to the ground. The archers shot at Nudra, but Nudra ignored them and generated a strong wind against Warren.

Fwoosh!

Warren was pushed outside of the archers’ range. He tried to escape, but Nudra kicked him.

Nudra’s kick pushed the opponents back, and Warren was pushed toward the allied line. While all that happened, Nudra was shot by three arrows, but he finally got himself well out of range.

Warren knew it was too late to go back and looked at Junhyuk.

"At least, I will kill you!"

Junhyuk saw Artlan jumping down on Warren. While being attacked by Artlan, Warren closed the gap between himself and Junhyuk.

Junhyuk waited for him. When he was about to be clawed, he moved by spatial relocation. Junhyuk now stood in front of Vera, but Warren had expected that.

Warren looked like he was bent on killing Junhyuk, even if he got killed. Warren had given up on this round of team battles.

He rushed toward Junhyuk, and Junhyuk smiled.

Warren was wounded by Nudra, Artlan and Vera. He could probably only withstand two more blows.

Junhyuk gripped his swords tightly and leaned forward, which pleased Warren. Warren swung his claws again, and Junhyuk used spatial relocation.

This time, he appeared behind Vera, and she threw a fire orb at the spot where he had been standing.

Boom!

Warren staggered, and his eyes turned all red. Warren had an astounding healing power, and he was showing it now, but then, Sarang sent her energy flash against him.

Warren was no longer healing, and his wounds remained open.

Diane shot him in the middle of his forehead, and he couldn’t even move.

Warren turned grey, and Artlan beheaded him. Warren had tried to buy more time for himself, but Nudra had kicked him within the allies attacking range, and he died.

He had tried to kill Junhyuk, but he hadn’t known Junhyuk’s powers had evolved.

Artlan ran as soon as Warren died. He started hitting the castle walls, and Junhyuk ran toward the enemy minions.

The allied minions were crazed, but they had decreased in number due to the archers. There were only half of them still alive.

However, that was still a good number of survivors.

Junhyuk started killing the enemy minions. The archers no longer had a buff since the heroes weren’t fighting.

Junhyuk lifted a dead enemy minion to block arrows and started massacring them. Artlan had been correct in saying he had needed new weapons. The minions were no match for him.

Before he finished slaughtering the minions, the gate was destroyed. Artlan went over and finished the remaining minions.

"We go in."

Inside the castle, Junhyuk frowned. Skia had already resurrected and was among the golems playing with the daggers.

One of them had to die, but Skia might get help from the golems.

He could use his force field to deal with the golems, but now was not the time.

Junhyuk was indecisive, and Artlan provided the solution:

"Attack!"

After Artlan spoke, the minions all went inside. The surviving minions ran toward the golems, and Artlan stepped forward.

"Be careful."

Artlan was aware of Skia. Junhyuk’s eyes met Skia’s, and Skia smiled.

Skia’s stare was full of poison.

Junhyuk measured the distance between the two. It was too long for Skia for to seep into a shadow, but he couldn’t be complacent. If anything went wrong, he could get killed.

Artlan ran toward Skia, and Skia did not expect Artlan could be so ignorant in his attack and stared blankly at him.

Artlan’s swung his saber at Skia, and Skia disappeared. On his right, the golems swung their fists.

Bang, bang!

Artlan dropped back, and Skia showed up. Skia had fixated on Junhyuk.

Skia’s range was sixty-five feet, and Junhyuk couldn’t let Skia get any closer.

Junhyuk used spatial relocation. He could get hurt by running away since Skia moved much faster than him.

After seeing Junhyuk relocate, Skia eyes sharpened. Junhyuk moved once, and Skia tried to seep into his shadow.

Artlan ran toward Skia again. He dodged the golems’ attacks and slashed Skia’s back. Skia knew Junhyuk was still more than sixty-five feet away.

Skia would take another step and seep into his shadow while allowing Artlan to attack. Skia had to kill Junhyuk, and the next battle would be much easier.

Skia went a few feet closer, trying to use the shadow power.

Junhyuk moved by spatial relocation again and stood behind Vera.

Skia was hit by Vera’s fire spear and five of Diane’s arrows. Skia tried to lift the daggers when Junhyuk began to stab Skia from behind.

"Argh!"

Skia was small and turning grey, Junhyuk clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"I told you to not to mess with me."
