Chapter 460: Narrowly 1

Junhyuk followed the middle path. When he saw the watchtower, he was happy to see that it was still standing despite it being heavily damaged.

He turned to the enemy side thinking that he would see his enemies at the top of the mountain, but there was nobody there.

“They aren’t here?”

He walked over to where the enemy watchtower once stood, and from the perch of the mountain, he spotted three enemies standing on the castle wall.

“They are changing their strategy.”

Two enemy heroes weren’t there. They had to have gone out to destroy watchtowers since the allies had already destroyed all of the enemy towers.

The allies were winning, and to prevent that from happening, they had sent a tactical team of two heroes out.

To the allies, their task was clear. They should advance to the enemy castle and force their enemies to return.

“There are two with long range attacks stationed at the castle.”

Long range attackers were most bothersome. They had incredible range, and one of them had a combo power. They could attack the allies while the allies attacked the gate.

Junhyuk thought about luring them out, but his enemies weren’t stupid. Even outside, it wouldn’t necessarily be easy to kill his enemies.

“Let’s take the buff tower before we head down.”

In any case, the allies had to kill all five heroes. They had to destroy the castle, so they had no need to wait.

After occupying the buff tower and receiving the buff, they headed out. The allies couldn’t defend their watchtowers now. It was already too late for that.

So, the allies had to advance.

Junhyuk took the lead, and the group followed him. The enemy forces should also be lacking minions by that point, with around two hundred left, if that.

Junhyuk started on the four-hour trip. One would think he wouldn’t be able to see his enemies at the castle from that distance, but heroes had superior eyesight, and Junhyuk’s eyes met Ronga’s.

Junhyuk thought about the two times he had died, which he had not expected. He sighed and balled his hands into fists. His enemies considered him the main target, and he had considered Ronga his main target.

That might have been why he had been killed. He had outstanding defense, but he was not a legend yet.

“We are killing and getting killed,” Gongon said.

“We had it too easy up to this point.”

While in Artlan’s team, Junhyuk remembered winning many battles, but those battles had been fought ferociously. His own team had been too relaxed in the way they fought.

Now, his team was facing strong adversaries.

“We’ll only meet stronger enemies from now on.”

He thought about the heroes he would meet in the future.

When the allies were five hundred meters from the enemy castle, the gate opened, and three enemy heroes walked outside: Ronga, Garu and the rhino.

Looking at them calmly, Junhyuk said, “I haven’t heard your name yet, rhinoceros.”

The hero stepped forward and said, “My name is Cuba.”

Two hundred meters from the enemies, he saw the bird hero on the parapet.

“I don’t know your name.”

“Tros.”

After getting both of their names, he nodded and unsheathed his sword. The allies had lost the watchtowers on the left and right paths, so now, they had to win that team battle.

Even if the allies won now, however, their enemies would have one more chance to stop them with the help of the giant golems inside the castle.

The enemies would have to revive fast. Otherwise, they would lose the golems, and things would be decided. His enemies were willing to risk their lives in that battle.

Junhyuk glanced at the allies and stared at Ronga and Garu, smacking his lips.

“We’ll change our strategy.” Everyone looked at him, and he whispered, “Garu will be our first target.”

Without hesitation, Junhyuk ran forward. The enemies might choose to stay inside the castle, but regardless, Junhyuk would kill Garu first. With Garu gone, the allies would be able to show their prowess.

Junhyuk swung Aksha’s Longsword, and all of his enemies zigzagged toward him. They were also keeping a gap between them.

Suddenly, Junhyuk accelerated. Able to see Garu clearly, he used his Spatial Slash.

Slash!

Garu was hit, a critical hit. The hero received 40 percent of damage, and the extra damage triggered. Junhyuk was happy about that. He knew that Garu had lost 60 percent of his health even when they weren’t close at all to each other.

Garu hesitated. The tank didn’t know what to do. At the same time, Junhyuk extended his hand toward Ronga. He couldn’t simply overlook the hero.

Ronga moved constantly, but Junhyuk triggered the Spatial Slash not where Ronga was, but where he would be.

Craack!

The attack landed beautifully. The Spatial Slash was set right on Ronga’s chest, and the hero lost 44 percent of his health. Ronga was stuck in place then, and the rest of the allies focused on him.

Thunderbolts slammed on Ronga’s head. Junhyuk had wanted to kill Garu first, but Ronga was the only one within the other allies’ reach, so they all attacked him.

Elise buffed Junhyuk, and he kept running ahead.

He had used two of his powers. Knowing that, Garu’s eyes beamed, and the hero jumped.

Junhyuk knew exactly what Garu would do when he landed, so he teleported back.

Ronga used his spinning slash ultimate to retreat. He was impervious while that was active. Ronga was running away, but the hero wouldn’t get far once his power ended.

Rodrey used his speed buff and chased after Ronga. Once Ronga was within range, Rodrey used his ultimate. A rain of knives fell from the sky. Rodrey’s ultimate dealt a heavy toll to the enemy heroes. Right before the knives fell on Ronga, Cuba took his place. The attack would’ve killed Ronga, but it had failed on that.

With the enemies retreating, Cuba rushed toward Junhyuk, who teleported to surprise attack the enemy hero. Right as Junhyuk appeared, Garu used his ultimate. With that, Junhyuk lost his reasoning.

Once he regained his reasoning, he checked his health. He didn’t even know who had attacked him, but he had been left with 40 percent of his health. Suddenly, Sarang healed him. While regaining his health, Junhyuk looked around.

Meanwhile, Elise, who had reached him, summoned Zaira, who attacked Garu after appearing.

Garu seemed surprised by the turn of events, and Junhyuk smirked, running toward the elephant. He stabbed Garu, dealing a critical hit that took 12 percent of health from the hero. Garu’s eyes widened. The hero faded away as Junhyuk blocked the arrows shot at him from the parapet.

Even blocking, Junhyuk was still damage. He looked up at the wall and saw Yagi had shown herself.

Thuck, thuck, thuck, thuck!

Junhyuk was hit by multiple arrows, and they all exploded. Junhyuk scowled, but the explosion had already happened, and it had damaged other allies as well.

With all allies damaged, Tros beat his wings. He was using an area-of-effect attack.

Elise had used her power to cancel the taunt on Junhyuk, so now that he had his reasoning, Junhyuk raised his force field.

The feathers bounced all around him, and Junhyuk decided to kill Ronga.

Seeing the force field up, the enemy hero tried to escape, but Junhyuk’s attack was faster. Ronga tried to block with his broadsword, but Layla threw her katana at him, launching Ronga into the air.

Rodrey quickly threw his knives at the enemy hero, and although Ronga blocked them, he was still damaged.

The enemy hero disappeared, and Junhyuk turned to Cuba, who was his next target.

Cuba was rushing toward the allies covered in a grey aura, which had to be a defense buff, but Junhyuk expanded the force field to cover all of the allies. Seeing that, Cuba stopped, and the allies attacked him.

Cuba was a tank, but his defense wasn’t that great. On top of that, Junhyuk had an incredible piercing stat, so he killed Cuba with his attacks.

While Junhyuk picked up the items on the ground, the enemy minions surrounded the allied minions, but the force field was also covering the minions.

Junhyuk lengthened Aksha’s Longsword and opened a path among the enemy minions.

The minions were gnolls, but they were easily killed. By the time the force field disappeared, Junhyuk had killed half of the enemy minions present.

At that moment, he retreated and shouted, “Attack!”

The allied minions rushed forward brandishing their shields. They engaged the gnolls.

Suddenly, Tros opened his beak wide and a soundwave attack swept through the allies. Tros was far away, but the soundwave still hit them.

Junhyuk felt dizzy. The world swirled around him, and he lost his sense of gravity. He was running forward, but he felt like he was moving sideways.

While he was unable to collect himself, two arrows flew toward him. When he finally regained his composure, he realized he was in danger. Seeing that, he retreated, stopping outside of the enemies’ range. The rest of the allies did the same.

Staring at Tros, he muttered, “Was that a confusion power?”
