Penslin had regained all of his health. On top of that, the hero used his speed buff and became incredibly fast. Junhyuk couldn’t use his acceleration in the Dimensional Battlefield to its full potential, but Penslin’s speed buff also seemed to be restricted there.

The enemy hero was moving faster than Junhyuk with his acceleration triggered. Junhyuk knew he had to teleport to keep up with the sniper.

Junhyuk still went after Penslin, decided not to lose the hero.

Suddenly, an arrow came flying at him.

Clang!

He blocked it and kept moving forward, but he clicked his tongue annoyedly. The arrow had made him pause for a second, and for that reason, the distance between them widened. Junhyuk couldn’t close the gap. He wanted to keep Penslin occupied so that he wouldn’t attack the champions.

He had to get his Spatial Slash and his teleportation back to engage the hero. There were now fifty meters between them, and if just one of his powers came off cooldown, Junhyuk would be able to kill the enemy hero.

They were essentially playing tag.

While fleeing from Junhyuk, Penslin looked for other targets. The enemy hero was a natural hunter, and he found his prey easily even though he was fighting a strong opponent.

He knew that Junhyuk wouldn’t be able to get close to him with ease and that it would take time for his powers to come off cooldown.

While thinking about it, he nocked an arrow. The enemy hero couldn’t deal with Junhyuk alone, so he wanted to find someone to help him.

Penslin shot the arrow toward Junhyuk. The arrow was covered in dark energy, and when he blocked the shot, he was pushed back.

Penslin kept running as fast as he could. Without looking at Junhyuk, he nocked another arrow. He was looking at the champions now.

There was a hero among the champions, a hero he’d never seen before. He thought it was possible that the hero might kill Durandal, so Penslin decided to kill him. His eyes beamed when he saw that the hero exuded dark energy.

“Dark mana?”

With eyes and heart pitch black, the hero thought that was a good place to fight. The new hero was under attack, but he would not die.

Penslin pulled on the bowstring. He had worked with his team for a long time, so joining Durandal was normal. He let go of the string, and the arrow flew off. It zoomed past the trees toward Jeffrey.

Crack!

The arrow hit a shield. Now that he was a hero, Jeffrey could block incoming attacks like that. The shield had terrible defensive stats, and Penslin thought he should have been able to pierce it.

Durandal attacked the hero again, and Penslin looked at the champions.

Junhyuk sensed the imminent danger. He wouldn’t let the champions die by Penslin’s arrows. He had to get his power back fast to close in. He had to teleport.

The power was still under cooldown, but he had to do it. He had to be able to do it. The Dimensional Battlefield had restrictions, but what about Earth? Would he be able to do it?

A torrent of mana left his body, and Junhyuk appeared behind Penslin. That wasn’t his acceleration. He had teleported.

From the time he had gained his ability to teleport twice, all he had been able to do was increase the distance of his teleportation. Now, his power had evolved.

Penslin responded immediately, raising his bow to block.

Clang!

The hero fell to the ground from the pressure. He wanted to get away, but Junhyuk was after him.

Junhyuk couldn’t move his left arm, but his right arm was fine. He swung Aksha’s Longsword, and the sword looked like it had a life of its own. But, he couldn’t put enough energy into the strikes, so someone with a similar energy level could block his attacks.

Junhyuk wanted to fix his issues with the longsword, so he lengthened it and shortened it and changed the direction of its attacks.

Aksha’s Longsword snaked by Penslin’s bow and rushed for the hero. Penslin was still surprised by Junhyuk’s appearance behind him, and he knew the longsword posed a lot of problems for him.

Penslin blocked the attack with an arrow, but Aksha’s Longsword could go from rigid to malleable, and it snaked itself around the arrow, striking Penslin’s head.

“Argh!”

Penslin responded by firing arrows covered in dark energy. He couldn’t waste the amount of dark energy he had, but he needed to attack at that moment.

Ten arrows flew toward Junhyuk, who was closing in on Penslin. He couldn’t dodge all of the arrows at that distance. On top of that, he couldn’t move his left arm.

He wanted to soften the blows, but the dark energy covering the arrows would prevent that in case he got hit. Instead, Junhyuk covered his own body in a layer of mana. His armor had to be pierced for him to receive damage.

Thuck, thuck, thuck, thuck!

Four arrows pierced his armor, but Junhyuk managed to close the gap against Penslin. He couldn’t let the enemy hero escape.

He knew that Aksha’s Longsword worked best at close range and, now, he could feel Penslin’s breath.

Junhyuk attacked, and Penslin made another attempt to run away, firing another dark energy arrow at Junhyuk. The hero seemed to have an infinite number of arrows in his quiver.

Who would kill whom? Junhyuk was at a disadvantage. He only had 35 percent of his health left. Penslin had 62 percent left. Junhyuk could deal more damage than the enemy hero in a single strike, but there were other heroes around him as well that might interfere.

Junhyuk had to come up with some way to kill Penslin that wouldn’t damage him.

“Someone attack him!”

A champion attacking Durandal dashed toward Penslin. It was Aleksei.

Penslin shot two arrows at Aleksei, who blocked them with his shoulder. However, one of the arrows pierced his ribs. Aleksei hadn’t expected to block all of the arrows, but he had survived, so he closed in on the enemy hero and used his rush. Aleksei flashed and hit Penslin. The hero had wanted to dodge the attack, but Junhyuk was still pressuring him.

Boom!

Aleksei’s rush stunned the enemy, so Penslin couldn’t moved. Junhyuk seized that moment. He didn’t save his powers. Whatever he did, he had to kill Penslin then.

Junhyuk used his Spatial Slash on Penslin’s head and slashed at the hero. Penslin couldn’t withstand the attacks. When the dark energy started seeping out of the hero’s body, Junhyuk quickly retreated.

After the explosion, the dark energy dispersed, seeping into Dolorac and Durandal. Junhyuk scowled. Only two heroes remained, but he was badly injured.

“My ultimate has triggered!” Sarang shouted.

Her heal was still in cooldown, but now, she had no health left.

“Retreat! Someone cover her!” he shouted.

The champions ran toward Sarang, but Dolorac was a caster. A mage of the eighth circle didn’t need powers to kill champions. His spells would suffice.

Dolorac scoffed at the three champions coming for him and cast a spell. Bone arrows flew in their direction. The champions were too weak to block them.

Boom, boom, boom!

While Jeffrey fought Durandal, the champions were able to support him, but Dolorac was different. The mage’s attacks were much more powerful.

Sarang had been able to fight him by herself, but now, Dolorac had attacked the champions, and all of them became bloodied and battered.

“Time for you to die!” the enemy mage shouted at Sarang.

A huge bone spear flew toward her. Junhyuk was too far, but he ran toward her anyway.

Boom!

Sarang had just a sliver of health left when the bone spear exploded. However, in front of her, stood a man and the Ghost White Tiger.

Rooooaaarr!

With a loud roar, the Ghost White Tiger ran toward Dolorac. Seeing that Jeffrey was standing in front of Sarang, Junhyuk’s eyes beamed when he saw him. He could only see Jeffrey’s health in percentages as opposed to exact numbers, which meant that Jeffrey had become a hero.

His health was full and his eyes were jet black, but Junhyuk didn’t care about that now.

“I’ll deal with things here. Kill that hero!” Jeffrey said.

Junhyuk turned and saw Durandal standing there. His health was low, and Junhyuk smiled at that.

Tanks were known to be hard to deal with, but for him, tanks were the easiest. They had low attack stats, and Junhyuk’s piercing stat went right through their defenses.

“Fight hard!” he said and ran toward Durandal.
