Durandal was a tank, and to him, Junhyuk was the worst enemy possible. Durandal knew that, so he jumped to escape him.

Just because an enemy wanted to fight him, it didn’t mean that he would be stupid about it. Looking for the most advantageous location for oneself was the way of the fighter.

Durandal followed that rule to the letter. Junhyuk frowned when he saw that Durandal had jumped toward where Jeffrey was standing.

Sarang was behind Jeffrey, running away, but she didn’t have an acceleration skill. It was almost impossible for her to escape Durandal, but Junhyuk ran after the enemy hero and swung his sword.

Durandal’s fists were covered in dark energy, and the hero blocked his attack. Junhyuk turned his wrist, and his sword snaked itself around the fists, aiming for Durandal’s head.

Durandal used his body to block the attack.

Crack!

His armor blocked Junhyuk’s sword, but the hero still received damage. Junhyuk walked toward Durandal, who said, “Nothing I can do about it. You’ll be the first!”

Junnhyuk wasn’t in good condition, so the hero punched at him while shouting, “Die!”

Junhyuk scoffed at his enemy, but he soon lost control. Junhyuk’s fury against Durandal had reached its max. Junhyuk couldn’t even swing his sword, and without it, Durandal would be able to defend himself.

Dolorac was complicating matters for the champions. He had indefensible attacks, and on top of that, he was a black mage.

Junhyuk could do nothing but trust his items with magic resistance.

After a while, Junhyuk regained control, but he felt dirty. Ling Ling was standing in front of him covered in blood.

“What happened?”

“I saved you, barely.”

Ling Ling could generate wind currents, and somehow, her powers had snapped him out of the taunt. Junhyuk turned his head and saw Durandal coming toward him.

Dolorac was causing havoc among the champions.

Junhyuk looked at Durandal and then at the mage raising his staff. The mage was casting a spell that seemed to be forming a huge bone structure.

Junhyuk knew what it was. He threw Ling Ling back and dashed toward it. He triggered his acceleration, increasing his speed as much as possible. A gust of wind pushed him from the back, increasing his speed even more.

He had never run that fast. The huge bone monster was attacking. Its attacks seemed to phase through objects to reach their targets.

Even though Junhyuk was running toward it, he didn’t necessarily have a way to fight it.

Taking stock of things, Junhyuk realized that two champions were in critical condition. They were about to die, and if things continued that way, the heroes would also die.

If the heroes died, the enemy heroes would have their way with humanity. Dolorac alone could wipe out humanity.

Junhyuk stopped in front of Jeffrey and asked, “How’s your cooldown?”

“Not long now.”

“Then, attack Dolorac.”

The Ghost White Tiger couldn’t dodge Dolorac’s ultimate, but it could attack and created an opening.”

The bone being moved toward Junhyuk, and it did so flying. Junhyuk thought about Aksha’s sword shield. If he created a three-layered shield right now, he wouldn’t be able to use Aksha’s Longsword later. He had been accelerating for so long that his mana was nearly depleted.

He couldn’t be certain about what would happen, but he had to create the sword shields to protect Sarang, so he did it without hesitation.

The bone monster flew toward his shields. In the Dimensional Battlefield, he wouldn’t have been able to block its attacks, but what about on Earth? There, he couldn’t even use his mana like he wanted, but things were different on Earth.

Boom, boom, boom!

The shields blocked the bone monster. In reality, the collision destroyed the monster. Junhyuk’s eyes beamed at that.

The monster had been more like a soul, and with mana, he was able to block that soul.

Suddenly, a large explosion rang out, and Junhyuk was thrown back.

Dolorac gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Ha-ha-ha. You’ve got skills.”

The mage pulled out a large fang. It seemed to be something important for Dolorac, and when the mage placed it on the ground, Junhyuk frowned.

His enemies had dark powers, and dark mana was different from regular mana, but he could still feel the quant.i.ty of dark energy being used. Junhyuk was able to do that because he had felt through the energies within the core.

The fang emanated a high concentration of dark energy, and the Dark Fog gathered around the fang. Something was happening, and it was big.

Durandal stood next to Dolorac but did nothing.

Junhyuk looked back and saw Sarang drinking a potion. For a hero, it wouldn’t be much help, but it could be the difference between life and death.

After that, she stood next to him and said, “In a short while, my heal will come off cooldown.”

After being healed, Junhyuk would be able to fight.

“My force field will also come off cooldown. What do you think he is doing?”

Sarang looked at the display in front of them and muttered, “It looks like a golem!”

“Right!”

Junhyuk nodded in agreement. Golems were difficult enemies, but he had to wait and regain some health before he could do anything.

He looked at his injuries and pulled out some shrapnel from them.

After a little while, something burst out of the ground. The top of Dobong Mountain was destroyed. What came out was huge, and Junhyuk scowled at it.

“That…!?”

“It looks like a Bone Dragon,” Sarang said, raising her hand. Light green powder fell over him, and Junhyuk recuperated some health. Because he had lost too much by that point, he was only healed to 60 percent, but he could move his left arm now, and his ribs felt much better. However, he still lacked mana, so he couldn’t use Aksha’s Longsword freely.

Junhyuk stretched his shoulder and asked, “OK. Ready for the second round?”

He had moved alone in the beginning, but now, they knew exactly how many enemies there were, so he didn’t have to move by himself.

Junhyuk looked at Sarang. Her health was still low, while some of his enemies were at full health. After the bone dragon appeared, Dolorac started walking toward them.

Junhyuk looked around and saw that the champions were in much better condition. None of them were hurt now. So, he contacted Gongon.

The hatchling smiled at him and asked, “What happened to the black mage?”

“I’m still fighting him, but he summoned a Bone Dragon.” Gongon’s eyes blazed furiously, and Junhyuk asked, “How can I kill it?”

“Who dared do that?!” Gongon roared.

“I’m fighting it now.”

“I haven’t seen a Bone Dragon summoned by dark magic. Bone Dragons don’t have any magic, but they must have a strong physical defense.”

If that was all, Junhyuk could fight it. He nodded and just as he was about to disconnect, Gongon’s face enlarged as the hatchling shouted, “Tear them apart! They don’t care about my tribe.”

“Don’t worry,” Junhyuk said curtly and turned to the champions. “It doesn’t have any mana, so get away from it and buy time. I’ll kill it.”

He turned to Jeffrey and added, “Jeffrey, you’re in charge of the champions.”

Jeffrey was a hero now, but his overall stats were not as great as Junhyuk’s. He needed more items.

Looking at Sarang, he said, “Durandal already used his taunt, so while it’s inactive, we’ll kill Dolorac.”

“OK. My Thunderstorm is back.”

If she killed someone, the dark energy would shoot out of that enemy to heal the others. For that reason, Junhyuk would have to fight with her.

He moved toward the Bone Dragon first. It looked like the most dangerous out of the bunch, but the champions had already fought a real dragon.

Junhyuk ran toward Dolorac, and Sarang covered him. They had fought together many times before, but Dolorac laughed while watching them.

“It won’t be easy!” the mage said and raised his staff.

Bone hands burst from the ground and grabbed both heroes. The mage smiled coldly.

The Bone Dragon ran toward them, but Jeffrey used his power to lure the Bone Dragon toward himself. He knew he had to finish the heroes.

Junhyuk watched as Dolorac prepared to cast something. At the same time, Durandal was dashing toward him. So, Junhyuk touched Sarang and teleported.

They appeared right next to Dolorac, but the bone hands jutted out of the ground there as well, and Junhyuk couldn’t escape them.

That was Dolorac’s magic trap. There was nothing he could do.

The impact against his armor broke the bones, so Junhyuk swung his longsword. More bones rose from the ground and shielded Dolorac from the blade of Aksha’s Longsword.

Craack!

The sword pierced the bone shield and reached Dolorac. Now that Junhyuk was close, Dolorac’s bone defenses didn’t matter. It was a matter of time before he would be able to kill the enemy hero.
