The allies decided to pierce through the middle path since they had the dragon’s buff. They would meet the others on the way. Junhyuk did not tell Elise about the dragon’s synthesis material.

Elise and Layla had two hundred minions with them. Many of the allied minions had been killed, and only sixty had survived. That was all the minions they had for this advance.

The enemy team was strong, so many of their minions had died. A lot of them had also died trying to take down the dragon. They would have to make due with the 260 minions they had.

Sarang walked straight up to Elise, smiling brightly.

“Big sister, we finally got it!”

“Did you get a synthesis material? From what monster?”

Sarang pulled out the dragon’s heart, and Elise’s eyes widened.

“Is that a dragon’s heart?”

“That’s right! It’s the synthesis material!”

Elise took the dragon’s heart, and the heart shone in her hand and disappeared. Everyone gulped. With the dragon’s buff, the allies would have buffs that even legends would fear.

After the light disappeared, Elise simply stood there with a blank expression on her face.

Staring at her, Gongon asked, “What happened?”

She raised her hand and said, “You don’t need to waste time with my explanation. Here, take the buff.”

Elise’s hands shone, and the entire team was swept by the light. She could buff all of the heroes now.

[For the next five hours, your health generation and your attack speed will increase by 100 percent, your movement speed and your defense will increase by 30 percent, your extra attack chance will increase by 20 percent, and you will deal one hundred additional fixed damage on regular attacks.]

After receiving the buff, Junhyuk smiled. The buffs from the Mantis Lord and the Harpy Queen had stacked with the dragon’s buff. The absurd increase in health regen and attack speed came from that. Elise’s buff would enabled the allies to close any future gap in items between his team and an enemy team.

Smiling, Junhyuk said, “Then, let’s go have a team battle.”

With Elise’s presence in their team, the allies wouldn’t have to hunt the dragon ever again. Future battles would be easier that way.

Elise smacked her lips and said, “I can buff everyone within a certain range, but the length of the cooldown has increased.”

“By how much?” Gongon asked.

Elise closed her eyes and replied, “Ten minutes.”

“We just have to finish the battle with the buff active.”

Everyone agreed, and Junhyuk looked down the mountain path. The enemies didn’t know about the buff, and even if they did, there was nothing they could do.

“Then, let’s go.”

Everyone headed for the second watchtower in the middle path and saw the enemy team gathered there. They were ready for a team battle.

Junhyuk smiled and said, “Now, we can show them what’s what.”

The enemy team would have the watchtower backing them up, but the allies had a buff better than the dragon’s buff. The allies approached the watchtower. The enemy team was staying slightly behind it.

There were a hundred enemy minions, and the allies couldn’t ignore those. The riflemen would fire at the allied heroes while the heroes fought, and some allies wouldn’t be able to dodge the shots.

Gongon asked, “Shall we?”

“Right, let’s fight!”

Gongon ran forward and shouted, “Attack!”

The allied minions held their shields up and ran ahead. Elise had buffed the allies, so all of the heroes and the champion were buffed. She decided to take the lead this time.

Running next to her, Gongon and Junhyuk said, “Your defense is better, but you can’t really defend against the enemies’ attacks, so don’t get too far ahead.”

“I won’t.”

They were teacher and student, so when Gongon said something, Elise agreed. Junhyuk looked ahead and saw the enemy riflemen kneeling, ready to shoot. Jean Clo and Bater were standing behind them; Regina was standing behind Jean Clo; and Doctor Tula and Killa were the ones farthest away.

Looking at the allies, he said, “Let’s teleport and close the gap.”

Everyone nodded, so Junhyuk teleported with them. With the exception of Sarang, everyone appeared at the back of the enemy formation. Junhyuk decided to target Killa first.

“Kill Killa!”

Layla moved forward in a flash. She tried to launch Killa up, but Killa jumped and dodged the attack. Layla clicked her tongue at that and launched her katana.

The katana struck Killa in mid air, and Junhyuk used his Dimensional Slash to cut Killa down. At the same time, Doctor Tula ensnared Junhyuk with his web.

The enemies knew what Junhyuk could do. Once he was stuck, Bater used his ultimate.

Boom!

Junhyuk lost a lot of health from getting hit by the ultimate. At the same time, Regina drew her pistol, and Doctor Tula fired a missile at him. The enemy team was focusing on him.

Because he was tied up, the attacks landed as criticals. The damage enemy team was dealing more damage than the team in the previous round.

The watchtower archers started shooting at him, and Junhyuk started bleeding everywhere.

Once he could move again, he shouted, “Sarang!”

Sarang had gotten close enough to him to heal him. When he felt himself regaining health, he triggered his Spatial Collapse. The target was Regina. Junhyuk wanted to get rid of the two attackers.

The Spatial Collapse hit Regina, and all of the allies attacked her. Gongon enlarged and tried to headb.u.t.t her, but Jean Clo rushed, grappled Gongon and jumped.

Elise used her ultimate, and the high-intensity beam of the Moon Cores slammed against Regina. Regina’s defense was higher than Killa’s, but there was a limit to it. She could not survive Junhyuk’s Spatial Collapse followed by Elise’s ultimate.

Regina was dead. The allies were clearly winning.

Gongon engaged Jean Clo, and Sarang used her Thunderstorm at Doctor Tula.

Craaaaack, boom!

Junhyuk raised his force field around himself. He wanted to protect himself from the archers’ attacks as he ran for Doctor Tula.

The doctor couldn’t run away. Sarang had paralyzed him with her electric blast, and after Layla used her ultimate on him, Doctor Tula died.

There were two enemies left. Junhyuk’s team didn’t have a tank, but their ultimates were incredibly strong. He had thought the allies would have had a hard time during the team battle, but because they were able to kill the two attackers, things had become easier.

When their healths became low, he could use his force field, and Sarang could heal. That was something that helped them a lot during team battles.

While Jean Clo was attacking Gongon, three enemy heroes had died.

“Gongon, take care of Jean Clo!” Junhyuk said quickly.

Jean Clo had the highest defense among the enemies, so they would target him last. Bater’s attack stat was high, so he would be their next target.

Junhyuk took the lead. He had used most of his powers, but he was still buffed. He engaged Bater while Sarang shot lightning arrows at the hero. Layla joined him to give support. Elise attacked with Moon Core.

While the four heroes were attacking him, Bater raised his hands up.

Boom!

The shockwave from the impact of his fists against the ground swept through the allies, and Bater went after Gongon.

Bater one-two punched Gongon, but Junhyuk had predicted that the hero would want to kill the hatchling.

Gongon’s damage wasn’t the highest, but due to Elise’s buff, which increased defense by 30 percent, Gongon’s health wasn’t going down.

Lately, Gongon had upgraded his weapon to increase his attack, but Gongon’s innate defense was high. For that reason, Bater couldn’t deal a lot of damage to the hatchling.

The others attacked Bater. With their buffed attack speed, the allies exploited every one of Bater’s openings. The enemy hero couldn’t fight four heroes by himself.

On top of that, Helen, the champion, had joined the fight, and her small amount of damage was mounting.

Gongon had lost some health because he was under the archers’ attacks, which ignored defense.

“Retreat!” Junhyuk shouted at Gongon, who transformed and soared across the sky, leaving the watchtower’s range. Jean Clo and Bater smiled coldly and attacked Elise, who raised her nullification field.

The two enemy heroes scowled. They couldn’t use their powers, and due to the buff, the allies had the clear advantage.

Bater fell after Gongon breathed out fireb.a.l.l.s at him while the other heroes attacked him. Only Jean Clo remained.

Jean Clo frowned and attempted to retreat. The hero wanted to fight by the watchtower, but the allies wouldn’t let him.

Junhyuk teleported and blocked Jean Clo’s path. Trusting the archers, Jean Clo triggered his ultimate. He was still willing to fight.

However, just as the three orbs or energy surrounded him, they disappeared. There was no way he could fight alone. The allies were very strong, and none of them died while they killed Jean Clo.

Junhyuk destroyed the watchtower.

When the battle was over, he turned to Elise and said, “This victory belongs to your buff.”

Everyone smiled. They were now on their way to victory.
