Chapter 454: Snowball 1

With the minions he had taken, Junhyuk took four hours climbing the narrow path to the summit. While hiking, he thought about Aksha’s Longsword. He swung it lightly and felt his movements were more fluid than before.

The sword’s path through the air felt much softer, and he was able to exert more force into his swings than previously. He didn’t think he could withstand strikes from Kero’s sword, but he wouldn’t just get pushed back by it anymore.

Junhyuk was moving his entire body deliberately while walking up the mountain, and he had an interesting thought. He had never had downtime like he had at that moment. Ordinarily, battles ended quickly. It was the first time that each side had had in a stalemate. Junhyuk had experienced something similar in his first trip to the battlefield, but since then, all battles had been settled quickly.

“This round will take a while.”

With Ronga, the enemy team could prolong team battles. He thought about that while walking. Ronga had wanted to duel because he had been confident in his items and skills. He had two area-of-effect powers: his ultimate and the underground smash. During team battles, they had to keep an eye on him at all times.

Since Junhyuk had been damaged significantly, the others would suffer even greater damage. In team battles, Ronga was the priority.

Junhyuk raised his hand and asked, “Should I use that as well?”

Junhyuk could now imprison an enemy in his force field. He had had difficulty dealing with Ronga, but if the others helped, things would go much better.

He could cover himself in his force field and use his other powers to kill Ronga, and his allies would help. Junhyuk knew that he could imprison one enemy with his force field. If he was able to kill Ronga that way, that would also be a great use for his force field.

But, he still had to find out about the other enemies’ powers.

Junhyuk had a hard time keeping up with the slowest minions, but he kept thinking about Aksha’s swordsmanship while hiking. As he moved diligently, he contacted Layla.

“I have killed the bird.”

“It took you a while.”

“I had to keep myself safe.”

“Was the bird powerful?”

“Yes. What should I do now?”

“I have to reach the summit first, but you two can go destroy the next watchtower. Ronga’s whereabouts are unknown, but he’ll probably head middle again.”

“OK. If we meet him first, we’ll deal with him.”

“Don’t let your guard down. You can retreat if needed.”

“Don’t worry.”

Junhyuk kept climbing, and a little over four hours since he left the castle, he reached the summit. He could see busy movement up top.

Fighting for four straight hours was difficult for both allies and enemies. The enemies had two heroes, and the allies had a hero and a champion.

The allies were in a difficult spot, and their minions were outnumbered.

Junhyuk noticed that the number of allied minions had decreased by half. He had brought another hundred minions along with him, but even then, the allies were still outnumbered.

Right as he reached the peak, an enemy stepped up to the peak from the enemies’ side. Junhyuk stared at them all. He had been killed, but things would be different this time.

That enemy who arrived with him, Ronga, saw him and stepped foward.

“Let’s duel again!”

“No, it’s time to finish this battle.”

Junhyuk didn’t have the option to duel now. He couldn’t lose the battle either. Killing Ronga had weakened the enemy hero, so he smiled and stepped forward. Ronga joined the other enemy heroes with the hundred minions he had brought.

There were now 250 enemy minions and 150 allied minions.

Junhyuk walked over to Sarang and Elise and asked, “Are you OK?”

“Do we look OK?!” Sarang barked back.

He tapped her helmet lightly and said, “Let’s fight for real this time.” Junhyuk would deal with Ronga. He wasn’t worried about the others, but he still asked, “What are the others’ powers?”

“That cat’s name is Yagi. She has incredible speed, and her arrows pierce through defense and explode.”

“What about her ultimate?”

“I haven’t seen it yet.”

Junhyuk winced and asked, “What about the other one?”

“His name is Garu, and he’s a tank. He can blow a jet of wind from his trunk, jump and crash down within a group, launching everyone in the air, and wrap you in his trunk.”

“And you are still alive?!”

“We’ve been fighting well. My ultimate has triggered twice already.”

In those four hours of fighting, Sarang had nearly died two times. She had her heal, which meant that she had probably lost a lot more than just two times her health.

Junhyuk turned to Elise. She looked tired.

“Elise?”

“I’m OK. This isn’t easy.”

It was a long battle, and Elise had become a powered person just some rounds back.

Smiling, Junhyuk said, “The plan is to kill Ronga first.”

“Can we do it?”

Ronga’s health and defense were outstanding. It wouldn’t be easy to kill the enemy hero, but Junhyuk answered easily, “We can.”

He had never used his force field on an enemy in the Dimensional Battlefield. He had only used his other powers to attack, so he explained his strategy, “I’ll surround Ronga in my force field, and we’ll focus all of our powers on him. He’ll die that way.”

Elise nodded and said, “OK. I’ll buff you. My other powers are still under cooldown.”

“I’ll attack with Sarang then.”

“What about the others?”

The allied heroes were outnumbered, but after some though, Junhyuk said, “We can do it.”

He didn’t know the enemies’ ultimates, but they only had one tank with them.

Junhyuk cracked his neck left and right and said, “OK. Let’s move.”

He stepped forward, and Ronga did the same. The enemy hero had a wide grin on his face. The other heroes followed Ronga.

When both sides got near each other, Junhyuk whispered, “I might have to touch him to encase him in the force field. I’ll use my Spatial Slash before closing in to activate the field.”

“OK. I’ll ready the Thunderstorm.”

The allies got closer while keeping an eye out for enemy attacks.

After a while, Junhyuk sighed heavily and ran forward. He swung Aksha’s Longsword, and Ronga responded quickly. Junhyuk didn’t use the Spatial Slash with the first attack. Instead, he got even closer and slashed the air again.

Ronga moved quickly, but when he noticed there was no Spatial Slash, he scowled.

“What the hell are you doing?!” Ronga shouted, and in that moment, the blade of Aksha’s Longsword flashed. Ronga had no chance to respond. The blade had already pierced his neck.

The enemy hero bled all over the battlefield, and Junhyuk frowned. He had lost his attack earring, but he was still able to deal 39 percent of damage to Ronga.

The Spatial Slash had been a critical hit, so Junhyuk closed in fast. Ronga, on the other hand, waited for him.

Junhyuk measured the distance between them. At some point, Ronga started moving. The enemy hero meant to use his powers on Junhyuk, but he wouldn’t allow it.

Junhyuk didn’t know the range of his force field when applied to enemies. He tried activating it, but it failed, meaning that the range was very short.

He frowned, and Ronga smirked. The enemy hero rushed him. The distance between them was closing fast, and suddenly, Junhyuk’s eyes widened. He could feel that he could now activate his force field on Ronga. The enemy hero was within five meters of him.

Junhyuk raised the force field around Ronga, but the momentum persisted, and Junhyuk was thrown back by the rush. However, he wasn’t damaged at all. With a satisfied smile, he shouted, “NOW!”

Sarang extended her hands, and lightning slammed down from the sky on Ronga’s head.

Craack, crack, craaacck!

“Ugh!”

The force field was covering Ronga, so there was nothing he could do as the Thunderstorm was activated within the field. The storm was a critical attack, and Ronga lost 32 percent of his health.

The enemy hero had 29 percent of his health left, and Junhyuk smiled.

“This is the end.”

Ronga couldn’t get out of the force field, so Junhyuk triggered his Spatial Collapse. He triggered the power on the hero’s chest, and Ronga faded away.

Junhyuk had had a terrible time trying to kill him alone, but now, with Sarang’s help, he had pulled it off with ease.

Suddenly, debris fell from the sky over the allies. They were suddenly damaged by a huge impact and thrown into the air.

Junhyuk didn’t care about the damage, which had been small. He had only lost 8 percent of his health.

Yagi, the cat, shot arrows at the group. When Junhyuk got hit, he frowned. The initial arrow hit him for 2 percent, but he kept on losing health.

When he tried to go after Yagi, Garu shouted, “To me!”

Junhyuk lost his will then. He and Sarang focused their attacks on Garu. It was a taunt, and he had been through that experience before. While taunted, Junhyuk clicked his tongue, and the enemies fell on him, attacking him relentlessly.

When the taunt wore off, Junhyuk only had 52 percent of his health left.

The enemies had attacked him while he was taunted, sure, but the damage hadn’t been absurd. Still, Sarang and Elise had also lost a lot of health.

“An area-of-effect attack?”

When Junhyuk turned to Yagi, Garu moved in and grabbed him, wrapping both of his arms.
