They went to join Sarang, and the number of allied minions increased. Rodrey and Layla were bringing another 15 minions, so with Sarang’s 300 and the 12 surviving minions from Junhyuk’s group, they would have a total of 327. With that many, the allies would be able to settle things.

Smacking her lips, Sarang said, “I dropped the item Elise gave me.”

“That’s not too bad.”

The enemy heroes hadn’t had time to pick up the item dropped by Sarang. The allies had pressured them too much. On top of that, the item she lost was something Bebe didn’t want to buy more of, so Elise could make Sarang another without issue.

“Let’s go see Bebe and equip ourselves. Then, we’ll group up and finish things,” Junhyuk said, and everyone nodded and moved out.

On their way to Bebe, the allies didn’t face any enemies. If the enemy heroes were moving, they had to be heading up the middle path. Normally, the buff tower would be a deciding factor, but the allies had overrun the left and right paths this round.

Bebe greeted the group again and shrugged, “You’re back so soon!”

“We need more things,” Junhyuk said as he pulled out the items he had grabbed.

There were three of them, and after Bebe inspected them, he said, “I’ll give you 150,000G for all three.”

Junhyuk sold them all and bought more enhancement stones. He successfully upgraded Aksha’s Longsword, which now had a 2,104 attack stat. It was a 20 percent increase, and the sword would only get stronger. Legendary weapons could kill tanks after being upgraded ten times.

Junhyuk knew how hard it would be to upgrade it, but he still wanted to do it. He got Aksha’s Longsword engraved with a complex pattern and decided to save the rest of his money. Now, he could use more than two swords, but he still wanted to buy another. On top of that, he wanted to complete his Vampire Lord set.

… And he wanted more runestones.

Junhyuk waited for some time before Layla and Rodrey entered Bebe’s store. Both wanted to sell items. Rodrey, who had things to sell, asked Bebe about his items.

“I want you to appraise these.”

Bebe inspected Rodrey’s items and was astonished.

“These were made by artisans. They have a long history, which made them stronger. I’ll give you 80,000G for one and 100,000G for the other.”

Junhyuk realized that Rodrey had nice items. He had been looking for items on Earth, and Rodrey’s items would seem like highly-priced antiques there.

Rodrey’s equipment was stronger than the enemies’, but the hero still wasn’t strong enough. He needed more items.

Looking at Junhyuk, Rodrey asked, “Every time a hero dies, they drop an item, but weapons drop last, correct?”

Junhyuk nodded, and Rodrey turned to Bebe.

“Right now, I only have 180,000G. Give me two enhancement stones.”

Rodrey pulled out a knife. He had a number of them, but Rodrey only needed to upgrade one knife to upgrade all of the others.

Bebe did the upgrade, and after two upgrades, Rodrey re-inspected his knife, happy with the result.

“It’s cool that your weapons get a status window when you come to the Dimensional Battlefield, but upgrading them is quite easy.”

Bebe had always upgraded powerful items at his store, but for Rodrey, experiencing that was something new.

Junhyuk smiled and said, “OK. Let’s head out.”

Everyone agreed and got up. The enemy’s gate had been destroyed. The allies would take the left path and advance into the castle, heading straight for the golems. Even if the enemy heroes had taken the buff tower, they would have no other option but to return.

“Shall we?”

With only three heroes, the allies had won a fight against five. While Alondo had escaped, the allies had been able to destroy the enemy gate. Now, they would simply advance to kill the golems and their enemies.

With two giant golems, the enemy heroes would be more dangerous. But now, Junhyuk had the strongest attack at the longest range. With his Spatial Slash, he could simply attack from far away and kill a golem before the fight started.

Junhyuk was confident that the allies would win. With hundreds of minions, they reached the enemy castle and saw the enemy heroes. Behind the destroyed gate, they could see the enemies standing with two giant golems and an army of undead minions.

The enemy heroes had dispatched all of their minions, and there were a lot of them: five hundred undead minions.

Junhyuk turned to his allies. With the exception of Rodrey, all of them had been to the battlefield and grown while fighting. Nevertheless, they were a little tense in front of all of those forces.

Gongon looked at him and said, “They know who you are.”

Penslin was standing inside the castle’s force field. The hero had been shocked by the Spatial Slash killing him in a single strike.

Junhyuk turned to Elise and said, “Buff me.”

After he was buffed by Elise, he turned to the enemy formation. With the exception of Penslin, all of the enemy heroes were out of the force field.

Junhyuk could kill Dolorac first. He did not care about the others. The sniper and the magician had the stronger powers, so he should kill one of them first.

Dolorac’s ultimate had a piercing buff, so Junhyuk would watch out for that as he advanced.

Buffed, Junhyuk gripped Aksha’s Longsword tightly.

“They have golems, but we’ll attack first!”

Gongon cracked his neck left and right and said, “Durandal might rush out first. I’ll deal with him.”

Layla positioned herself next to Gongon, and Sarang and Rodrey stood behind the dragon. Junhyuk was an attacker, but he also had great defense.

Nevertheless, Gongon had the best defense. His basic const.i.tution was greater than Junhyuk’s, so if he got high-end equipment, Gongon would be a true tank.

Layla was a close-combat specialist with one long range attack. Sarang was a caster, and Rodrey was a sniper. The team was coming together well.

Junhyuk stepped forward and shouted, “Heading out!”

As he ran forward, Durandal rushed out and shouted, “Attack!”

Because the undead minions were disorganized, when they moved forward, they moved slowly. Junhyuk could get to and kill Dolorac before the minions got to the allied formation.

The enemies ran toward him. However, they were also luring him, keeping a measured distance from him. Alondo, who was the fastest, took the lead. Durandal and Epilen followed him. Epilen didn’t know why, but his stealth power had been continuously negated by Junhyuk, so he didn’t use it this time as he ran. Without triggering it, Epilen was faster than before.

Junhyuk looked at the enemies running toward him, and he felt a little worried. He could use his Spatial Slash from seventy meters away, but the enemy heroes he was aiming for were keeping a gap that long between themselves and him.

While he worried about things, Gongon and Layla walked up to him and said, “Don’t force it. Be methodical.”

His enemies knew he was looking to kill the caster and the sniper first. Their attacks were strong, but their defenses were low. That’s why Junhyuk had been able to kill them.

To prevent that, the enemy heroes were trying to make him attack anyone other than those two. The allies had caught on to that, and Junhyuk made a path for Gongon and Layla.

He didn’t say anything, but the allies knew what had to be done. Junhyuk smiled at them.

“OK.”

If Dolorac didn’t go back to the castle’s force field, he would be able to kill him with his Spatial Slash.

Alondo rode faster. The skeleton horse left tracks behind it on the ground, and Junhyuk triggered his acceleration. Junhyuk knew about Alondo’s power, so he had prepared himself. However, knowing Alondo’s movements was different from being able to block them.

Junhyuk kept pressing forward toward Dolorac, leaving Alondo’s attack to come from behind him. He shouldn’t focus on Alondo.

But, Alondo didn’t attack him. Instead, he flipped Layla, who was thrown back, and Durandal jumped.

Junhyuk clicked his tongue as he stared back at Alondo. Gongon enlarged and headb.u.t.ted the hero.

Boom!

Alondo was thrown back, and Durandal reached Layla when he landed.

Boom!

Durandal’s jump had covered a ma.s.sive distance, but Junhyuk shouldn’t waste time with that.

He teleported and closed in on Dolorac, using his Spatial Slash right away. Dolorac was standing just in front of the castle’s force field, ready for Junhyuk’s attack, but the Spatial Slash was faster than Dolorac’s response.

The strike hit Dolorac’s head, generating a shockwave. The shockwave was purple, the same color as the blade of Aksha’s Longsword.

Doloract disappeared, and Durandal taunted. Durandal’s taunt was an amazing power.

Taunted, Junhyuk thought only of quickly killing Durandal. As he ran toward Durandal, Epilen suddenly appeared behind him. Epilen stabbed Junhyuk with his dagger, but Junhyuk didn’t care. His only focus was killing Durandal.

Junhyuk lost 17 percent of his health from the attack, and Penslin exited the force field with an arrow readied at him.

Thuck!

Penslin’s attack took another 15 percent of Junhyuk’s health, for a total of 32 percent. Every enemy hero was now targeting him. Alondo, who had already closed in on him, swung his scythe, slashing Junhyuk’s back.

Allondo’s attack was weaker than the others’, but the difference was small. He dealt 13 percent damage to Junhyuk, who had lost 45 percent of his health now.

The enemies used regular attacks as well, and the champion transformed into a wolf and bit down on Junhyuk’s leg. That’s when the taunt ended. When Junhyuk regained consciousness. He saw that all of the enemy heroes were swarming him.

So, Junhyuk raised his force field.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

All of the enemies’ attacks were deflected, and Junhyuk shouted, “Now, it’s my time to attack!”
