Chapter 264: Dark Clouds Over the Battlefield 2
The living spirit ran through the large pathways in his body several times, making them even larger, but then it changed to making his vein tougher. The living spirit was moving even faster than it had done in Korea.
How many times had it run through his body?
He felt the warm energy on his back, and the living spirit rested in his gut. Junhyuk slowly opened his eyes and saw a watchtower.
He looked around.
"No one is on the watchtower?"
"That's right. I don't know where they went. It's empty."
He got off from Artlan's back.
"Should we attack now?"
"We should."
They all wanted to visit Bebe. All heroes had died once and lost items in the process. Without new items, the allies would be pushed around.
"Take care of the archers."
"Yes."
The Spatial Slash could deal with the archers by itself, and because there were no minions, they took down the watchtower easily.
"OK. We don't know where the enemy went, but the tower is destroyed, so we have a chance. Let's go see Bebe, " Artlan said.
Everyone nodded, and they headed toward Bebe. On the way, Junhyuk asked, "Where do you think they went?"
Artlan pondered it over and said, "They probably went to hunt a buff monster. The enemies must be worried about us too. Let's hurry."
Junhyuk nodded and ran faster. They needed new items before meeting up with the enemy again. On the way, Junhyuk turned to Diane.
"Did you make more money?"
She caressed his butt and said, "I trust two things, you and earning money."
"That's nice."
He felt good that the allied heroes were earning money because of him. As least, they had money. They ran for a while, but when they arrived at Bebe's portal, they met an unexpected group. There were three enemy heroes in front of them—Keros, Tuelus and one more.
Third one had a long back and spikes along his spine. He didn't look human. The heroes mouth was sliced from ear to ear, and he looked like he was laughing. Junhyuk was scared of looking at him.
Halo looked at him and said, "That's the tank."
A tank and two DPS. The allies had five heroes and Junhyuk, so they had a chance. Five would kill three.
The tank got up and said, "I've waiting here to meet you all. I am Aak." Aak extended his arms and continued, "Good idea coming here. So, let's party!"
"Party? What party?!"
Diane was already pulling her bowstring, and Aak laughed and ran toward her. Artlan jumped on Aak, landing on him, but Aak simply blocked Artlan's saber attack with his forearm. Aak started bleeding from his forearm, but he ignored it and pushed Artlan back, continuing on his path. Then, Nudra kicked Aak on his stomach.
Aak was pushed back, and Junhyuk was relieved. At that point, Diane let go of her bowstring, and ten arrow flew out followed by twenty guided lights. The arrows flew in Tuelus' direction, and he escaped by strafing to the side. Meanwhile, Keros took Tuelus' spot.
He used the massive sword to shield his body, blocking every arrow. Once the sword lit up red, Junhyuk grabbed Diane and teleported. They already knew of Keros' counterattack.
Diane smiled at Junhyuk and said, "Thanks."
He didn't respond, looking straight at the enemy.
"Who do you want to kill first?"
"A DPS."
The allies had to kill the one with the strongest attack first, and Junhyuk nodded and used the Spatial Slash.
"Argh!"
A gash appeared on Tuelus' neck, and he frowned, staring at Junhyuk. A shockwave swept through the enemies, dealing heavy damage.
Tuelus was a standard DPS, and all of his items had to focus on attack. However, once the Spatial Slash hit, it only took 25 percent off his health. Surprisingly, his defense was quite high.
"They are too strong."
They were definitely stronger than all of the enemies the allies had fought so far, or at least their items were stronger.
Tuelus wiped the blood off his neck and smiled. He was staring at Junhyuk, and Junhyuk started feeling really nervous.
The allies continued their attacks on Tuelus. From underneath him, a wall of fire rose from the ground, and a fire spear headed toward him. All of their firepower was now focus on the hero, and Tuelus clicked his tongue.
"Take it easy now."
Two machines floated up to Tuelus' shoulders and counterattacked with ten beams of light. Artlan took them all and lost 35 percent of his health exactly. The attack hadn't even been an ultimate.
Keros ran.
Boom!
Nudra was taking the front, so he got hit and bounced back from the impact. He crashed, and Aak took the lead for the enemy heroes.
Halo used his Flash Attack on Aak, passing the hero by. He wanted to attack the other enemies as well, but that's when Aak stomped the ground.
Boom!
The ground shook, and Junhyuk scowled. With Aak in center, concentric shockwaves expanded outward, and everyone caught by them was paralyzed.
Aak punched at Halo, and Halo was thrown back toward Nudra. Keros went at them and swung his large sword down, creating the fan-like shockwave. The allies were losing a lot of health fast, and Tuelus sauntered over to them slowly and smiled.
"How many of you will live?"
The two machines on Tuelus shot two blue lasers, and the lasers formed a circle. The allies could all die, but at that moment, they were able to move again. Junhyuk had raised a force field around them.
Chink!
Tuelus bounced off the force field, and while the machines did fire the lasers, nobody was hurt. He turned to the allies, who had already started attacking again. However, they were all at low health.
The shockwaves had dealt a lot of damage, including to Junhyuk. Ordinarily, shockwaves didn't deal that much damage, but even Junhyuk lost 20 percent of his health because of the ones Aak released. As for the ones Keros created, those took 70 percent of Junhyuk's health, so he only had 10 percent left.
He had wanted to save the allied heroes, but also, to save himself, he had had no other recourse.
From just two attacks, the allies were doing terribly. If Tuelus' last attack had succeeded, most of the allies would have died.
The allies had been thwarted. They had thought they could've won with their numerical superiority. After they started moving, they all focused on Tuelus. However, Tuelus dodged everything, and Aak stood in his place.
Junhyuk was shocked by Aak's health and defense. The five heroes all focused on him, but he only lost 40 percent of his health. That was a legend candidate and a tank.
Junhyuk was curious about the items the enemies were carrying. Then, Halo, Vera and Diane stepped back. THey were preparing their ultimates, and the other two heroes were covering for them.
Because Artlan's ultimate only hit a short range, he blocked for them instead.
Junhyuk stood next to Halo and Vera, and Aak frowned, saying, "They are annoying..."
"How many seconds left?"
"Two."
Tuelus shrugged.
"Let's use them in sequence."
Keros nodded and pointed his massive sword forward. The force field disappeared, and the sword exploded, launching a hurricane of shrapnel that swept through the surroundings. Seeing that, Junhyuk touched Halo, Vera and Diane and teleported.
Keros attack dealt enormous damages, so he was hoping he didn't have a lot of defense. Instead, they focused on attacking the DPS who could kill with a single attack.
However, Keros' attack affected an entire wide area, and it took 30 percent of the allies' healths. Artlan lost all of his in the process and disappeared. Nudra was left with 30 percent.
However, that's when the allies' ultimates we done charging. Diane fired, Halo use Rain from Above, and meteors covered the sky. Everything was cast, and that's when Tuelus machines combined to form one and fired a bolt of lightning.
That's what Junhyuk witnessed. He didn't see anything else.
---
The heavy darkness. He ran like crazy and pierced through it.
"Whoa!"
What the hell happened? Tuelus' attack wasn't ordinary. The gigantic bolt of lightning covered and burned through everything.
"Is that his ultimate?"
It had inflicted an unreal amount of damage. Along with that unreal damage, the range of it was quite shocking.
"Without the force field, it can kill all of us."
He shook his head and walked to the exit.
[Champion Junhyuk Lee deployed. ]
Junhyuk looked surprised after going out and looking around.
"Holy crap!"
He had expected to see Artlan since he had been the first killed among them, but Junhyuk also saw Diane and Vera, who had low defenses by comparison. They had all boosted attack more than defense and had paid the price.
"You all got killed?"
"Shit! Tuelus used his ultimate."
"Did you kill him?"
"Don't know."
Diane sighed.
"My arrow and Halo's Rain from Above landed, but I don't know what happened."
Vera grimaced and said, "I got killed, and the meteor shower stopped. With any luck, Tuelus isn't alive."
Junhyuk was shocked. The five had failed to kill three.
Then, Halo and Nudra appeared.
"You two were killed?"
"They used long-range attacks, and we got killed."
Junhyuk had raised the force field to protect the allies, but the enemies had a similar capacity, the tank Aak.
Aak had health and defense, and when he was attacked by the allied heroes for ten seconds, he only lost 60 percent of his health. The allies started preparing their ultimates, but he stood strong like a force field.
They were all shocked and speechless, but then, Nudra spit out a sentence.
"Tuelus is dead."
Junhyuk found renewed hope in Nudra's words.
