The sword pierced Dolorac’s bone armor, but the mage vanished. Dolorac had disappeared too quickly, and that made Junhyuk frown. At that moment, he couldn’t use his acceleration, so he couldn’t find out where Dolorac was.

“What did he do?”

The vanishing move felt like his teleportation, but it didn’t remain a mystery for long.

Sarang shot an electric blast, and Dolorac was paralyzed. Seeing that, Junhyuk swung his sword toward the mage, striking Dolorac’s head continuously. Dolorac’s defense was low, and Junhyuk’s attacks were critical hits that left a crack on the mage’s skull.

Even though Dolorac had started at full health, he quickly lost chunks of his health with Junhyuk’s strikes. Once Junhyuk got close to attack again, Dolorac vanished one more time.

Junhyuk was sure that the mage was able to teleport now. It seemed that Dolorac’s teleport had a very short cooldown, but he was able to do it nonetheless.

Junhyuk hadn’t seen that power in the Dimensional Battlefield, but it was at full display now. Dolorac reappeared behind Durandal, who was running at Junhyuk. The tank was covered in dark energy.

Junhyuk scowled. Because he hadn’t known about Dolorac’s teleportation, he had failed to kill the enemy mage. While hiding behind Durandal, Dolorac was casting spells at the group.

Magic wasn’t a power, but it was powerful. On top of that, it was being cast by a magician of the eighth circle. Meanwhile, Durandal’s dark energy attack couldn’t be ignored either.

It was a simple rush, but since it had been infused with dark energy, it would be difficult to deal with.

Sarang shot her chain lightning spell at Durandal. Junhyuk had completely forgotten about her spells. Sarang had magic of her own, magic that wasn’t power.

Durandal blocked the spell with his body, but the electricity spread through his body from the point of impact and shot toward Dolorac, who was standing behind Durandal.

Craaack!

Dolorac was wearing his bone armor, so he wasn’t really damaged. On top of that, magic attacks on mages were rather ineffective.

Junhyuk knew that, so he kept waiting for his mana pool to regenerate. Only a small quant.i.ty of it was back, but that meant that he was gaining mana even while on Earth.

With the amount of mana he had now, he could accelerate for ten seconds. He turned to Sarang, and she nodded at him.

Without hesitation, Junhyuk shouted, “Now!”

Lightning bolts cracked from the sky. Dolorac had blocked the chain lightning spell, so he was feeling confident, but he couldn’t do much against the Thunderstorm.

The lightning bolts aimed directly at the head. For the undead, their heads were their weak spots. On top of that, Thunderstorm dealt a crazy amount of damage even without a critical hit.

Dolorac lost half of his health in one go. Even with his bone armor on, he was significantly damaged.

The electricity from the thunderbolts went everywhere, slamming Durandal, who ended up paralyzed.

That was their best chance.

Junhyuk accelerated, pa.s.sing by Durandal to attack Dolorac. The mage quickly disappeared, but Junhyuk used his spatial sense to locate him and slashed at him. Aksha’s Longsword punctured Dolorac’s head.

Doloract couldn’t teleport continuously, and now, Aksha’s Longsword had sunk into his head. Junhyuk gathered all the mana he had on the tip of his sword.

Boom!

The mana on the tip of his sword exploded, and Dolorac was unable to endure it. Dolorac exploded with the mana, and the dark energy from his body split in two. Junhyuk watched the path of the two pieces.

One piece of dark energy went toward the Bone Dragon fighting Jeffrey, but the Bone Dragon dismantled and disappeared, leaving only a large fang behind.

After that, Junhyuk turned to look at the remaining enemy hero: Durandal. The tank knew his side had lost.

The health of the human heroes was low, but Durandal couldn’t fight three heroes by himself. On top of that, the humans also had champions.

The champions had powers, and some of those could even stun or instill fear in heroes. If he received any of those status, he would probably die.

Durandal clicked his tongue. He had been confident in his victory, but things had gone differently. Now, however, Durandal had a higher concentration of dark energy within his body, leftovers from the heroes who had fought with him.

Durandal’s body had not simply regained its health. It had also been filled to the brim with dark energy. Right now, Durandal felt confident that he could fight a G.o.d, but he felt no need to continue the battle at that moment.

He hadn’t gotten what he’d wanted, but he had gained other things. The rest of his team of heroes had died, and he was going to use that to his advantage.

Durandal had risked his life with his teammates. He wouldn’t let their deaths go in vain. He wouldn’t let humans have Earth.

Durandal jump, but he did not jump toward the human heroes. It hadn’t occurred to Junhyuk that Durandal might run away, however.

The tank had jumped back, and as he did, he pulled something out. Junhyuk watched it happen and teleported, closing in quickly and slashing at Durandal. Suddenly, a tear appeared, and it grew immediately.

“Don’t make me laugh!”

Durandal was about to disappear, so Junhyuk used his Spatial Slash, which had just come off cooldown. However, because Durandal was already inside the tear, his attack was a disappointment. It wasn’t a Dimensional Slash.

“Durandal!”

His shout echoed in vain. Was that the end? Would Junhyuk be able to go to their dimension to give it retribution?

He was furious, but Durandal was gone.

The Dark Fog dispersed and disappeared, and Junhyuk sighed and looked at the items on the ground, the items of all four enemy heroes who had died.

He gathered them in one spot and counted them. There were fifty-seven items.

“Did anyone die?”

Jeffrey came up next to him and shook his head.

“No one.”

Junhyuk inspected Jeffrey. His eyes were jet black, and dark energy was swirling around his chest.

“I know you are a hero now. What happened?”

Dolorac had died, and when his dark energy had split in two, Junhyuk had thought that one piece had gone for the dragon, but instead, it had gone into Jeffrey, who had been in the same place. He was extremely surprised by that.

Jeffrey inspected his own body and said, “All of the negative feelings I had bottled up burst forth. Now, I have to control them.”

It was nice that Jeffrey was a hero now, but he was covered in dark energy.

Junhyuk looked at him and said, “You are a hero now, so don’t die easily. I’ll check the items, and if I see something you can use, I’ll give it to you.”

“Thank you.”

Jeffrey had become a hero and fought with them. That change had enabled the humans to defeat their enemies. Junhyuk was going to sell the bulk of the items to Bebe, but he was going to give some to Jeffrey first.

He looked at the champions. They all looked exhausted from fighting the Bone Dragon. It must’ve been draining.

But, the champions had endured and defeated their enemies. Junhyuk was willing to help them. If all of them became stronger, the next time they faced a true dragon, things would go much more smoothly.

Junhyuk looked toward the peak of Dobong Mountain. It was mostly gone, but he saw the drones flying above it.

He picked up an item that had been dropped by Dolorac then, a large fang, and stared at it. After a little while, he contacted Gongon, and the hatchling’s giant face appeared as a projection.

“What happened?”

“We killed them. By the way, this object…”

He showed Gongon the fang, and the dragon’s eyes widened slightly.

“It must carry the soul of my tribemate.”

“Right. They summoned the Bone Dragon with it.”

“Can you give it to me later? I want to help the dragon.”

Junhyuk nodded. He could’ve sold it to Bebe, but Gongon had given him advice during the fight. The hatchling just wanted to put his fellow dragon to rest.

“Thanks.”

Junhyuk disconnected with Gongon and stared at Sarang. The adrenaline had vanished from her, and now, her legs were shaking.

Junhyuk put a hand on her shoulder and said, “You fought well.”

“Big brother…” He stared at her without saying anything else, and she whispered hesitantly, “I thought I was going to die.”

Junhyuk nodded. Her invulnerability had triggered, but she hadn’t been able to stack a heal after it. She had had to wait for her cooldown. A scratch could’ve killed her then, which had made her extremely nervous.

They had barely survived death.

Jeffrey, who was a hero now, and Junhyuk’s sword shield had saved her. The shield with Aksha’s Longsword had blocked Dolorac’s ultimate.

He caressed her shoulder and asked, “Can you fly?”

“I can’t. I’m barely standing up.”

He chuckled and acted as her support as they walked to his drone. The others got on their drones as well. n.o.body wanted to stay there.

Junhyuk could see a helicopter flying above the mountain and soldiers rappelling down.

“They’ll clean up.”

“Shall we?”

“Sure. There’s nothing left here.”

Junhyuk had used his spatial sense and found nothing out of the ordinary. The dark energy was gone from the area.

The place was safe now, and since the monster recovery team was there, he would let them do their job. The powered people had earned the right to rest for now.

The humans flew off on their drones, following Junhyuk. His eyes widened slightly.
