Chapter 220: Painful Victory 2
The heroes were done preparing, and Junhyuk touched them and teleported. After the first teleport, Killa came within range, and Diane shot at her. Her shots were different from before because her equipment had been upgraded, and they dealt a lot of damage.
After Diane released the arrow, Jean Clo stood in front of Killa. He had such a high health that he must've thought that it would be better for him to take the arrow instead of Killa.
While Jean Clo blocked Diane's arrow, Junhyuk teleported again with Artlan and Halo. This time, they appeared just behind Jean Clo, and there was no one between them and Killa.
She saw them coming and fired. Artlan got hit on the shoulder and grunted in pain, but he was already close to her. Halo triggered Rain from Above and shouted, "Block the side!"
Killa saw Halo's Rain from Above and jumped, but her thinking was shortsighted. Rain from Above's aim could be adjusted. It took a long time to prepare it, but it had many strong points.
Killa tried to block it with her gun, but the sword tilted a little bit while falling and penetrated her stomach, leaving a gaping hole and taking 70 percent of Killa's health.
Junhyuk seized the opportunity and used the Spatial Slash. She had already jumped, so she had no other power to escape being slashed.
A shockwave expanded from her, but since she already jumped, it didn't hit anyone else. However, she died.
Bater approached the heroes, and Artlan released the quickdraw. Bater used his arms to block, but the attack was a critical hit, and he lost 50 percent of his health.
Realizing how much health Bater had lost, Artlan seized the opportunity and continued to strike at him. He was fighting fiercely, but Junhyuk said, "We have to retreat."
Jean Clo had turned around and joined in the attack. Things wouldn't turn out well if the allied heroes were stuck there fighting. Without worrying about it, Artlan said, "Raise the force field."
Junhyuk did so, and the group entered it and started running away. While they ran away, Diane gave them supporting fire with her multishot. Then, she also entered the force field.
The enemies did not want to fight at close range when Artlan and Halo specialized in it, so they kept some distance from the allies. Whenever the force field disappeared, they could use their rushes, so they kept the distance just right.
Meanwhile, Vera and Nudra also entered the force field.
Artlan looked at their enemies while inside the field and said, "We'll kill Bater first."
Bater only had 50 percent of his health, and if the heroes focused their attacks on him, he could be killed. Everyone nodded, and Vera prepared her magic.
Nudra looked calmly at Bater and asked, "Do we attack everyone?"
"Think about that after we kill Bater."
Among the enemy damage dealers, Killa was their core, and she had already been killed. The allies were out of the giant golem's range, so there was no problem. There, if they could kill Bater, they would surely win.
Nudra nodded and jumped. With him above the enemies, their gazes fixed on him. While that happened, Vera's magic blasted against them.
A fire spear zoomed in, but it struck Jean Clo. He had more health and greater defense than Bater, so his job was to block everything.
Jean Clo took the hit, and that's when Nudra bolted down from the air.
Boom!
Bater raised his arms to block, but the impact was enough to wedge him in the ground up to his knees. He had lost 30 percent of his health, and couldn't get out. Nudra followed up with a front kick.
Boom!
Bater was pushed back by Nudra's kick and left with 5 percent of his health. One more hit should've finish him off, but that was when Adolphe ran up to Nudra with his rush and slashed him. Nudra was paralyzed, and Bater fired the rocket punches.
Boom!
His defense and health were higher than Diane's, but he he had been rushed against and slashed, become paralyzed and then hit by the rocket punches. In the end, he lost a lot of health, leaving him with 30 percent of it.
After that, Adolphe slashed him again with the ten-meter energy strike. Nudra's chest had a gaping hole, and Doctor Tula fired his missiles at him.
Boom!
He had taken Bater's health mostly away, but the enemies focused on him, and Nudra died first. Meanwhile, Bater was running back toward the castle. He was trying to put some distance on Artlan, but Artlan jumped and closed the gap. Once closer, Artlan threw his saber, which stuck to Bater's back.
Bater disappeared.
One hero had been killed on one side and two on the other. Junhyuk had the impression the allies were winning, but that's when Jean Clo closed in on Artlan and swung him toward the enemy's castle.
Artlan had been thrown away from the allies, and he landed where the giant golem was standing. The golem stomped, and Artlan rolled away and ran as fast as he could toward the allied camp with the golem chasing after him.
Things would become annoyed if the golem tried to interfere, but Junhyuk had used all of his power, so there was nothing he could do.
"Let's kill Doctor Tula!" Junhyuk shouted.
He had decided on their next target. Among the remaining enemies, Doctor Tula and Regina were the most bothersome. Jean Clo was easier to deal with.
A fire spear flew toward Doctor Tula, catching him by surprise. He tried to block the attack with his front legs, but he was still pushed back. A fire orb had already been set behind him, and it exploded.
Doctor Tula lost 50 percent of his health, and Diane shot multiple arrows at him. The guided arrows struck him, leaving Doctor Tula with 25 percent of his health.
Halo had been it all, and step forward to use his flash attack. Halo was running like the wind, but the doctor shot him with the webs. He got stuck during his attack, and Regina quickly closed in on him and pointed the gun to the middle of Halo's forehead and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
Halo couldn't escape getting hit in the face and lost 30 percent of his health. Then, Doctor Tula roasted him with the flamethrower, and Adolphe appeared, swinging the saw-bladed sword against him.
Clang!
Junhyuk's sword parried Adolphe's just in the nick of time. With Halo stuck, all of the attacks that landed were critical hits, and he was left with 30 percent of his health.
Even though Junhyuk had block Adolphe's attack, the situation didn't look good. Halo cut the webs sticking to him, and swung at the doctor, who had been standing in front of him.
Doctor Tula blocked the attacks with his front legs, and parried the sword toward the ground. Right before the sword touched the ground, Halo used the Rising Island Dragon.
He jumped while slashing Doctor Tula; that was the Rising Island Dragon. The doctor was left with 5 percent of his health, and an arrow hit the middle of his forehead.
It was an ordinary attack, but the hit was critical, and Doctor Tula disappeared.
Things was happening very fast. Meanwhile, Junhyuk was fighting Adolphe. The enemies had just lost another hero, which meant the allies were winning. However, Regina shot Halo while he was still in the air.
He used his sword to block, but he couldn't get every bullet. When he landed on the ground, Halo had 25 percent of his health left. Jean Clo ran at Halo from behind Regina and grabbed him, raising him by the neck.
With him off the ground, Regina quickly fired at him.
Bang!
It was another critical, and Halo lost 8 percent of his health, leaving him with 17 percent. Then, Jean Clo, who had a hold of him, jumped. He was about to use the screw piledriver, and Junhyuk scowled. Halo could get killed at any moment.
The allies were paying the price for their overconfidence, and Adolphe front kicked Junhyuk, pushing him back. Then, Adolphe slashed his side.
Junhyuk rolled and got up. That's when Halo hit the ground, and Jean Clo kicked him away. At that moment, Halo took his last breath.
Adolphe stabbed the ground with saw-bladed sword, and two energy rings zoomed out. While they had the power to ensnare people, they weren't that dangerous. However, one of the rings got a hold of Artlan.
Artlan had been running away from the golem when the ring wrapped around his ankle. Then, the giant golem started attacking.
Artlan was more powerful than ever before, but he still couldn't deal with a golem by himself, even more so now that he was paralyzed.
The allies had Vera and Diane, while the enemies had Jean Clo and Regina. As for Junhyuk, he knew that the Spatial Slash cooldown was almost over, and Adolphe had used all of his power.
Junhyuk moved. It was more important to stop Jean Clo than deal with Adolphe at that juncture.
Jean Clo came at him, and Junhyuk wung the Frozen Rune Sword at his thigh. Jean Clo tried use his hand to block the attack.
Clang!
Jean Clo pushed the Frozen Rune Sword toward the ground, and Junhyuk swung with the Blood Rune sword instead. At that, Jean Clo parried the sword with his elbow. The sword nicked him, but it was a tiny wound.
After the Blood Rune Sword got parried away, Junhyuk cut Jean Clo's ankles with the Frozen Rune sword and rolled back.
Jean Clo's gigantic hands grazed by him. If he had been a little late, the consequences would've been dire.
Junhyuk got up, but Adolphe was there already, swing the saw-bladed sword at him.
Clang!
He wasn't in position, but he still had to block the strike. After that, Junhyuk landed hard on his butt.
Diane and Vera attacked Jean Clo, whose defense was higher than his offense. Regina was the more dangerous, but Jean Clo was right in from of them.
Both of them attacked him, and he walked slowly toward them and punched at them. Both of them attempted to run away, but Regina removed her eyepatch, leaving Vera petrified.
Jean Clo rushed toward her extremely fast and raised her by the neck while Regina used the shooting twister at her.
Diane tried to rescue Vera and fired multiple arrows, but she was hit by Regina's attack. Vera's attack was higher than her defense, and Regina's attack dealt her critical damage, leaving Vera with 40 percent of her health.
After that, Jean CLo chokeslammed into the ground and stomped on her. Junhyuk parried the saw-bladed toward the ground and slammed against Adolphe with his shoulder.
Adolphe got pushed aside, and Junhyuk ran, attempting to save Vera. Jean Clo saw him running, but he ignored him and raised both of his fists. He was on top of Vera with his two fists raised, and the chances of Vera surviving were slim.
"NO!" Junhyuk shouted, but he couldn't stop Jean Clo. He felt like he had failed, but then, an arrow hit Jean Clo's temple, throwing him to the side.
Junhyuk looked around, and Artlan, rolling on the ground to escape the golem. He had lost half of his health, but he was still alive.
Things were complicated, but the allies hadn't lost yet, and Junhyuk ran as fast as he could at Jean Clo and Regina.
