Epilen’s damage was outstanding, but he couldn’t kill Sarang in a single strike. Even if she were to die, her ultimate would trigger, so Junhyuk wasn’t too worried about her.

She was in danger, however, so he ran toward her quickly, but someone pa.s.sed him.

Junhyuk watched as Alondo rushed out quickly and pierced Sarang with his scythe, flipping her into the air. Alondo had overrun the allied formation.

Sarang was thrown in the reed field. Junhyuk wanted to go save her, so he ran toward the field. That’s when thunderbolts lit up the sky, crashing in the field.

Craaacck, craaack!

Sarang was using her powers, which meant that her ultimate had triggered. Junhyuk still ran toward her. Meanwhile, Epilen and Alondo faced Layla and Rodrey.

It was two on two, so n.o.body would die easily. Epilen had his stealth power, but Layla and Rodrey weren’t pushovers either.

Junhyuk entered the reed field to rescue Sarang, but he couldn’t find her. He couldn’t even raise a force field around her.

“Come here!”

Durandal yelled loudly, and Junhyuk lost his reasoning. He went berserk and ran to attack Durandal. Junhyuk had been taunted, so he couldn’t think of anything but attacking Durandal.

Sarang was going through the same thing. Her ultimate was up, but she was also taunted. It was the worst possible situation. They had no will of their own.

When the taunt ended for him, Junhyuk turned to see Sarang disappearing. Before he had spotted her, her ultimate had triggered, and now, she was vanishing. Sarang had certainly fallen victim to the taunt.

They had planned to ambush from the reed field, and their plan had been extremely detailed. Aside from him, Sarang had the greatest attacks among the allies. Her Thunderstorm was extremely powerful, but she could also paralyze two enemies with her electric blasts.

For those reason, they had taken care of her first. Now inside the reed field, Junhyuk spatial sense started working again.

Junhyuk swung his sword. His enemies were bunched up, and he would kill them all.

He aimed at Penslin first, planning to use his Spatial Slash on the hero, but Penslin’s arrow hit him first, and Junhyuk was thrown back.

Although he was thrown back, his attack hit, and Penslin died. Junhyuk was now outside the reed field, and a dagger pierced his back without him realizing it. Junhyuk could feel Epilen against him. The moment he was launched back, Epilen had initiated his attack.

Junhyuk grimaced and swung his sword at his back. Aksha’s Longsword stretched and stabbed Epilen, who retreat after the strike, enabling Junhyuk to turn around.

Alondo and Epilen had shaved off some of the allies’ healths, but Layla and Rodrey still had plenty left. Layla saw Epilen attack Junhyuk and ran toward the a.s.sa.s.sin while brandishing her katana.

Epilen took to the air to dodge, and Junhyuk smirked. Normally, enemies in the sky couldn’t be attacked, but things were different for Junhyuk.

Aksha’s Longsword stabbed Epilen. The a.s.sa.s.sin had tried to block with his dagger, but the longsword had been faster. It had slithered in the air and stabbed the hero. Junhyuk’s own swordsmanship had improved with the use of Aksha’s Longsword.

Junhyuk could lock down the a.s.sa.s.sin, and Epilen started losing health in chunks. Rodrey could also attack airborne enemies, so he threw his knives, and Epilen took his last breath.

Meanwhile, Alondo extended his hand at the two allies. Specter soldiers were summoned, but Junhyuk had no intention of being attacked by them, so he raised his force field.

Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk!

The specter soldiers clashed against the force field.

“We have ten seconds,” Junhyuk said quickly.

“We’ll kill them all in that time,” Layla said, and Junhyuk smiled bitterly at her bravado.

The enemies were hiding in the reed field, so he thought the allies had no way of killing them all.

“Kill the ones inside the field!” he shouted and ran to enter the field.

Suddenly, a bear clashed against his force field.

Boom!

The champion had transformed herself into a bear, and Junhyuk knew she was trying to buy them time.

Junhyuk slashed at her. Layla did the same, and Rodrey threw his knives. The champion had no way to withstand all of those attack, so she disappeared.

Things happened quickly, but three second had gone by. Junhyuk delved deeper into the reed field, but he couldn’t spot any enemies. His spatial sense was fully functional within the reed field, so he knew all of the enemies were gone.

They had given up the field to buy more time.

Junhyuk realized the enemies’ plan and scowled.

“Stop running away!”

He touched his allied and teleported, giving chase. Durandal stopped as they appeared. His entire body was turning black.

The other enemies were far away from the allies now, so Junhyuk gritted his teeth and said, “Kill Durandal first.”

He used his Spatial Collapse. Durandal was the only enemy he could attack now, but he meant to kill every single one of them. With his force field up, he could do anything he wanted.

The Spatial Collapse took Durandal’s remaining health right as Aksha’s Longsword pierced the hero’s chest.

The enemies had gained plenty of time for themselves. There were three seconds left in the force field.

Layla launched her katana at Dolorac. It zoomed through the air and struck the hero, but Dolorac was wearing his bone armor. The katana bounced off, but Dolorac still received a bit of damage.

Rodrey took stock of the battle. Dolorac and Alondo were still alive, but the allies were winning.

Then, the force field disappeared, and Dolorac extended his staff, activating Bone Prison. Souls flew toward Junhyuk, and he clicked his tongue. That ultimate ignored defense.

All of the allies were hit by the ultimate, but the enemies did not stop there. After the souls pa.s.sed them, Alondo attacked, swinging his scythe the size of a grown man. The hero attacked Rodrey.

Rodrey was. .h.i.t, and Dolorac’s bone spear pierced Rodrey’s chest as well. Rodrey disappeared.

Junhyuk teleported out of the Bone Prison, but he couldn’t move with the rest of his allies. Nevertheless, he appeared behind Dolorac and slashed at him.

Dolorac turned to see his attack, which smashed against the hero’s shoulder. Dolorac had also been hit by the Spatial Slash’s shockwave and Layla’s sword throw. He had very little health remaining.

Doloract kept shooting bone arrows and retreating, but Junhyuk simply smirked at him. He didn’t need to make a sword shield to block the bone arrows flying at him. Junhyuk closed in and slashed Dolorac’s head. The hero disappeared, and Junhyuk turned around.

Only Alondo remained.

Layla was fighting Alondo. His scythe moved with expert skill, but Layla wasn’t too bad with her katana either. The scythe came down from atop the skeleton horse, and she blocked it.

Layla had used all of her powers, so she was fighting purely with her swordsmanship.

Alondo was aware that Junhyuk was free now because Junhyuk smirked and joined the fight. Having a one-on-one fight was a luxury. There was no way to tell whose powers would return first, which was why he joined in swinging.

Aksha’s Longsword enabled him to keep his distance from his enemies. If Layla hadn’t been fighting Alondo, he would’ve been able to block Junhyuk’s attack. But, it was two versus one now.

Alondo had no choice but to extend his hand toward Junhyuk. A ring encased Junhyuk, and Alondo swung his scythe heavily at him. Layla had to step aside to evade the scythe attack.

At that moment, Alondo turned around and started running. His movement speed was higher than most, but Layla ran after him.

Junhyuk could tell what Alondo was thinking. He was running toward Bebe’s store to prevent the battle from continuing.

When Junhyuk saw the ring around him disappear, he jumped. He set the angle of the jump low, increasing his movement speed.

Junhyuk closed in while slashing, but Alondo blocked the attack with his scythe. Layla had chased after the hero and attacked at the same time. However, Alondo had managed to block both swords in front of him.

Nevertheless, Junhyuk was wielding dual swords, so he grinned menacingly.

“Sorry, but you won’t get away.”

Alondo rushed at him on his horse. He meant to run Junhyuk over.

Junhyuk had to prevent that from happening, so he stretched Aksha’s longsword toward Alondo. The hero blocked his attack again while holding tightly to the reins on the horse.

Layla jumped suddenly, striking down at Alondo with her katana. The hero had no option but to block with his scythe.

Clang!

Junhyuk spotted an opening on Alondo’s head and stabbed at it. It was a critical hit, and Alondo disappeared.

He sighed, relieved. They had fought four versus five, but they had lost Sarang at the start. At one point, Junhyuk had even thought that the allies had been in danger, but they had managed to pull through.

Looking at Layla, who looked tired, Junhyuk smiled and said, “Whew! You fought well.”
