The word last tugged at their hearts.

Junhyuk looked at Gongon and said, “Start with the minions.”

“Time to finish this! Attack!” Gongon shouted.

The minions rushed forward. With their shields held out, they clashed against the enemy minions. Some were able to get some stabs in, but the fight between humans wasn’t easy.

Junhyuk looked at the enemy heroes. He wanted to kill those on the walls first, but he couldn’t allow the allied minions to fall.

“Let’s Kill Nudra and Halo first,” he whispered.

“Is that even possible?”

“We’ll make it possible.”

His Dimensional Slash wouldn’t work against Artlan, so he wanted to kill the other two heroes before focusing on Artlan with his allies.

Elise had buffed everyone, so they all followed him. Artlan joined the enemy minions and started killing the allied minions.

The allied minions were dying in droves, but Junhyuk felt conflicted about killing the enemy minions. They were all human. So, he decided to lure Artlan out of the fray.

If he came too close, Vera and Diane would attack him, but there was no other choice.

He ran forward and used his Dimensional Slash. Halo started bleeding from the beck, but the hero had guessed that would happen, so he had moved slightly to the side, avoiding a critical hit.

Without the critical hit, the damage of the Dimensional Slash was rather low. Halo lost only 15 percent of his health. However, Junhyuk wasn’t alone. Layla ran forward, and Halo raised his sword shield.

The shield blocked all normal attacks, but Layla could bypa.s.s things to launch her enemies up.

She pierced through the shield and sent Halo up in the air. That’s when Junhyuk realized why Halo had used his sword shield. It was still covering him while he was in the air.

Vera threw a fire spear, and Diane shot a volley of arrows. Junhyuk quickly raised the force field around Layla, teleporting behind Halo’s sword shield after that.

Gongon enlarged and used his heab.u.t.t.

Boom!

As Halo was about to land, he got hit and was launched back toward the wall. While the force field was still up, the allies had to go all out.

Gongon readied his firebreath, and Sarang used her Thunderstorm on Halo.

Crraaaack, boom!

Halo faded, and Junhyuk looked up. There were meteors covering the sky, and they were all aimed at Sarang and Elise, who had stayed back.

Junhyuk grabbed Layla and teleported back, covering the women in the force field before the meteors. .h.i.t.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The force field dug into the ground. Halo was dead, so it was time to kill Nudra.

Nudra and Artlan retreated, so Junhyuk had to close in while the force field was still there.

“This time, kill Nudra!”

“OK!”

Junhyuk, Elise and Layla hadn’t used their ultimates. With those three, they could kill Nudra.

“Let’s go!”

Junhyuk ran forward and used his Spatial Collapse. Nudra was pulled toward the void, and Layla took off toward him. The force field was gone, and Elise was preparing her ultimate while Junhyuk blocked her from Artlan.

Fire pillars rose from underneath the allies’ feet. Sarang and Elise were hit, but Elise couldn’t move. She took all of the damage from Vera, but it didn’t end up being that much. Finally, Elise fired her ultimate. Her target was Nudra.

Nudra had high defense, but he couldn’t endure three ultimates. He died, but at the same time, Junhyuk felt the ground beneath his feet turn to ice.

That was Kaigel’s power.

The allies became encased, and Vera laughed out loud.

“I’ll let you taste the fires of h.e.l.l!”

She threw a fire spear at him. Junhyuk was her main target. When he got hit, he was pushed back, and a fire orb exploded on the back of his head.

There was a combo of explosions, and Junhyuk lost a ma.s.sive chunk of his health. Artlan also attacked him. Only three enemy heroes remained, but all of the allies were encased in ice. The fire orb’s explosion had damaged all of them.

Junhyuk knew he would be able to move soon, but suddenly, an arrow zoomed across the air in his directions. It was Diane’s shot. He couldn’t escape it, so the arrow sunk into the middle of his forehead.

While fading away, Junhyuk shouted, “Hold fast!”

—

Going through the harrowing void, Junhyuk focused on his Triple Yin Yang. The void didn’t help him much, and he was only able to make a small amount of progress.

That meant that the Triple Yin Yang had already progressed a lot.

He revived, but he forgot to check on his items, taking off immediately for the exit and shouting, “Open the door!”

[Hero Junhyuk Lee deployed!]

As soon as he was outside, he ran like crazy until he managed to get out of the castle. There, he teleported.

He reappeared at the enemy castle, where the fight was still going. Looking around, he saw the gate he had destroyed previously and ran inside. Gongon, Sarang and Elise were already there.

THe minions were fighting the giant golems. Artlan seemed to have died, but things didn’t look good. Halo and Nudra had revived and rejoined the fight.

As he ran in, he shouted, “Retreat!”

The allied heroes started to retreat. Halo’s powers were certainly back, so the enemy hero started preparing Rain from Above.

Gongon raised the force field around the allies, and Gongon ran toward him with it. When they were back together, he asked, “The situation?”

“It’s not great. Our buffs will run out soon.”

Nevertheless, the giant golems were nearly destroyed.

“OK. When your ultimates come off cooldown, we’ll launch a full-out ten-second attack.”

Vera and Diane were attacking them, but the enemy heroes weren’t approaching the allies. Having made up his mind, Junhyuk said, “Kill Diane and Vera.”

The champion seemed to be dead, so Junhyuk teleported in front of the two female enemy heroes. He stabbed Diane, and Gongon whipped his tail at Vera.

Vera was using her orb to block, but Gongon managed to get a single hit through, which triggered her flame shield, negating the damage.

Then, thunderbolts slammed down on Diane, and Junhyuk used his Spatial Collapse on her as well. Gongon headb.u.t.ted Diane, and she finally died. He turned around and teleported toward Vera.

The allies blocked Vera’s path to the force field with Junhyuk’s own force field, and he used his Dimensional Slash on her. Gongon breathed fire down on Vera, and Sarang shot her with lightning arrows. Elise shot her with Moon Core beams.

The Dimensional Slash was a critical hit, but the firebreath wasn’t.

Junhyuk breathed in deeply. The buff was gone, but the four allies could kill Vera.

He decided to worry about Nudra and Halo later. His swordsmanship had improved a little from his time in the void, so he managed to find openings in Vera’s defense with more ease. Gongon was also attacking her.

Vera tried to retreat, but she couldn’t. Junhyuk was attacking her nonstop.

Finally, Vera died, and Junhyuk turned to the other heroes. Nudra and Halo were coming at him.

The force field disappeared, and Junhyuk didn’t know how many of their powers the enemy heroes had.

Gongon smiled at him and said, “OK. The golems are down!”

Only Nudra and Halo remained in their way. The allies would win soon.

Victory was right in front of him, so he ran ahead. Junhyuk wasn’t buffed, and he had no more powers left, but he ran with all of his might.

Nudra vanished. That was his ultimate. Clicking his tongue, Junhyuk raised his sword.

Boom!

Nudra dropped kicked him, and Junhyuk was pushed into the ground up to his knees. Halo used his flash attack on him.

Junhyuk’s chest was sliced open, but suddenly, a ma.s.sive beam came flying above him. It was Moon Core at greater output. However, the damage was rather low. Still, the beam prevented any further attacks on him.

Gongon transformed and fought against the enemy heroes. The rest of the allies had used their powers on Vera and Diane, but they outnumbered the enemy heroes.

Nudra front kicked.

Boom!

Junhyuk was thrown toward the castle’s force field.

“They’ve used all their powers!” Gongon shouted.

“Gon! You and I will attack! Sarang and Elise, destroy the castle’s force field!”

Victory would belong to those who destroyed the castle. Junhyuk engaged Halo while Gongon fought Nudra. Sarang and Elise attacked the force field.

Elise summoned Zaira, who joined in on the force field’s destruction.

“Minion, attack!”

The minion were a big help in destroying structures.

Suddenly, Artlan appeared from within the force field. The hero rushed out quickly, cutting minions down with his sabers.

Sarang shot out two electric blasts, which paralyzed Halo and Nudra.

Junhyuk and Gongon turned around and proceeded to attack the force field as well. Artlan tried to engage them both at the same time, but the remaining minion finally destroyed the force field.

Artlan stopped swinging his sabers.

“We eked this out before you.”

Junhyuk smiled. The allies had won.
