Junhyuk kept watch over his enemies, who were unable to attack. Finally, he saw Rodrey approaching from afar. The hero was running with intent, but there was nothing Junhyuk could do to help him along, so he looked at Ronga.
Ronga was a lion of war. The enemy hero had his eyes closed, completely ignoring him. Real heroes were able to control their emotions.
Trolls were unable to do that, and that made Ronga different from them.
Junhyuk got up slowly. The others had also taken the opportunity to rest, but now, everyone was getting ready for battle. Junhyuk stood with them and waited for Rodrey's arrival.
After analyzing the enemy formation, Elise said, "This won't be easy..."
The warthog was the biggest variable. He had revived once already, which meant that he was an expert, and they had no clue about the warthog's second power.
"It would be nice to get them away from the castle, but if we can't do that, we'll have to kill them right there."
"Is our target Ronga?"
Junhyuk nodded and said, "Without Ronga, they aren't that dangerous."
Garu and Cuba were tanks, so they were sturdy. With them in front of the castle, the archers could take shots at the allies. However, Ronga was still the most dangerous of the bunch.
"Garu can taunt us, so you hang back and raise your nullification field when that happens."
After Rodrey arrived, Elise buffed the allies. Just like the previous time, three allied heroes received the buffs.
Cracking his neck, Junhyuk said, "Let's go."
He knew the enemies on the wall were dangerous. He had already gone through a similar situation, so he was confident that he could do it again.
Junhyuk ran forward while checking out his enemies' movements. They were positioned behind the minions as they prepared for battle, but none of them stepped forward.
Junhyuk looked at the enemy minions. They weren't brandishing shields, but they were forming a defensive wall still.
He smiled coldly.
He couldn't massacre minions in an instant anymore, but he could still wreak havoc among them. Aksha's Longsword lengthened and danced among the minions, killing many with every slash. The allied heroes attacked.
Tros attacked first among the enemies. He didn't use his powers. Instead, it seemed like he was measuring the distance between himself and the allies.
Junhyuk blocked the attack with his sword and kept going. He could easily block regular attacks.
From that range, he was very capable of attacking his enemies, so they moved away from the castle and toward him.
Their goal was to attack the allies, but they were still too far away.
Garu moved out first and ran for the allies. Junhyuk scowled at that, aware of how annoying Garu could be.
He looked at Cuba. Without him nearby, Junhyuk would be able to kill Ronga immediately. Ronga's defense had lowered, but his attack had increased somehow.
It was possible that Cuba would interfere with the fight, so looking at Garu heading for him, he decided, "I'll move twice."
The allies massacring the enemy minions understood what he was saying. Junhyuk teleported over to Garu and used his Spatial Slash on Ronga. He was saving the Spatial Collapse since Cuba could trade places with other enemy heroes.
The enemies had to rely on their eyes to grasp Junhyuk's teleportations. Since he used his Spatial Slash right after teleporting, Ronga was unable to dodge it. Blood spurted out of the lion's neck, and Junhyuk extended his hand forward, pretending to use his Spatial Collapse to kill Ronga.
Cuba appeared in Ronga's spot. Junhyuk had extended his hand specifically to make Cuba use his power. Killing Ronga would've been nice, but it was a nice trade.
Right after that, when Junhyuk was actually about to use his Spatial Collapse on Ronga, Tros screeched.
"Screeech!"
The sound resonated through the battlefield. Junhyuk had gotten too close to use his Spatial Slash.
After he regained his bearings, he saw that Ronga was already attacking him. Junhyuk wanted to use his force field to protect himself, but Garu triggered his taunt.
"Get over here!"
While he was confused, Garu had gotten close to him. Now, the enemy hero had been able to land his taunt.
Things were looking dire for Junhyuk. From that distance, the archers could reach him with their arrows. Nobody else was close enough, so he would be their main focus. Taunted and confused, he found himself in a deadly situation.
He had a faint grasp of the situation, that he would die, when suddenly, his mind cleared. He inspected himself then. Should he retreat or fight on?
Junhyuk didn't have time to worry about what to do. Ronga was attacking him, so he used his Spatial Collapse. Ronga got sucked into the collapse. Junhyuk had lost half of his health during his time confused, which meant that Ronga had used most of his powers.
Ronga couldn't dodge the Spatial Collapse, and he lost 52 percent of his health. The warthog must've healed the enemy hero because Ronga still had 31 percent of his health left.
Gongon transformed and breathed fire on Ronga.
Layla slashed the enemy hero with her katana. Everyone attacked him, and Junhyuk used Dentra's Magic Sword.
Ronga had the highest defense among the enemies, but after the barrage of attacks, he disappeared. Looking around, Junhyuk saw that he was outside of the nullification field.
Elise had used her nullification field and distanced herself from him, giving him free use of his powers. Thanks to Elise, he had survived.
Ronga was dead. To him, the rest would be easy to take care of. He knew he had been healed by Sarang as well. Otherwise, he would've been dead by now. The archers attacking him were the reason for that assumption.
Junhyuk used his force field. He relied on the minions to attack the castle, but he had to kill the enemy heroes.
Gongon and Layla were both attacking Garu, who was trying to retreat. However, Sarang hit him with an electric blast. Both Garu and Cuba were paralyzed.
Her Thunderstorm fell on them both, and the other heroes joined in on Garu.
With that many heroes attacking him, Garu died quickly. Even with high defense and health, it was easy.
Garu was dead, so Junhyuk chased after Cuba, who was running away from him.
The archers attacked him as he chased Cuba, but the arrows bounced off his force field. Junhyuk teleported and caught up to Cuba, but at the same time, he felt a gust pass him by.
It was Rodrey, who had used his speed buff to stab Cuba in the back.
"Ugh!"
Cuba turned around and used his ultimate, stomping all over Rodrey furiously. The archers attacked Rodrey as well, but Junhyuk closed in and covered Rodrey in his force field.
Cuba couldn't run away now, so he died as well. Before the force field disappeared, Junhyuk took the allies out of the archers' range. Archers were extremely problematic for heroes, so it was nice to be able to negate their attacks.
Once the heroes were out of range, the archers attacked the allied minions. Yagi and Tros did the same, but the minions had already destroyed half of the gate. Even without Junhyuk's interference, they would destroy the gate. A bunch of them were dying, but Junhyuk did not step in. He had to wait until the gate was down. Once it was, he would advance and kill his enemies.
Junhyuk looked at Rodrey. The hero had lost too much health already, so he would have to wait for a heal.
"Rodrey, stay back."
"Sure."
Rodrey had 45 percent of his health left after taking Cuba's ultimate and the archers' arrows. As a sniper, his health was fairly low. He could lose that 45 percent in no time at all.
There were 150 allied minions left when the gate was destroyed.
Junhyuk ran forward, shouting, "Let's finish this before they revive!"
"Yeah!"
The allies joined him, and Yagi and Tros retreated. Junhyuk killed the archers on the wall first, leaving two golems and two heroes. However, because the enemy team had pushed aggressively, they only had fifty minions left.
Junhyuk could deal with those by himself.
Elise buffed him again. It was good to have access to specific buffs. After that, he ran at Yagi and Tros.
Junhyuk wanted to kill the two heroes before engaging the two golems. His Spatial Slash had returned, and with it, he could kill Yagi in a single hit.
However, the two enemy heroes retreated behind the castle's force field.
Junhyuk didn't care. He simply thought that if he killed one golem before his enemies revived, the fight would be over.
"Left side!" he shouted, and the allies attacked the golem to their left.
