novelSeeing You Again 3
| ← Ch.496 | Ch.498 → |
While climbing up the mountain and its sharp ascent, Junhyuk tried his own swordsmanship. He had analyzed his Spatial Slash, but his swordsmanship had improved as a result.
Junhyuk turned to his allies. Sarang had upgraded her items, and Elise had gotten new ones. Their strength had gone up, so Junhyuk concluded the fight would be doable.
After getting to the top, he looked around, but no enemies were there yet. Looking at the allies, he said, "Let's take the buff tower first."
Right as Junhyuk stepped forward, he saw others coming up from the other side. The one leading the enemies was someone unexpected. Junhyuk had fought with him in the Champions' Battlefield.
"Aktur?"
Aktur had become a hero before Junhyuk, but even now, Aktur didn't have enough equipment. Junhyuk had been collecting item sets, so he hadn't expected Aktur to be put against him.
The other enemies appeared, and they were entirely mechanical. Junhyuk had gone against cyborgs before, but not robots. He wondered if those robots had souls.
However, the enemy minions were human. It was funny to see human minions with mechanical heroes.
"Aktur, why are you here?" Junhyuk asked.
Aktur shrugged. Two mechanical orbs were floating above his shoulder, and Junhyuk remembered them well. They were Tuelus' weapons.
Those weapons had killed many of his allies. They were incredibly powerful.
Junhyuk thought about the cost of the legendary weapons. Each orb cost millions of gold, and Junhyuk himself had had difficulty in acquiring a legendary weapon.
Aktur waved at him and said, "Long time, no see."
"I didn't expect to see you here."
Aktur laughed out loud and said, "I became a hero before you. On top of that, I didn't think you would lose, so I bet all my gold on you. I won a lot thanks to you."
Aktur looked at the floating mechanical orbs above his shoulder and added, "I spent all of it on these. Thanks to them, I'm on a streak."
Weapons were the last items heroes dropped. Aktur's health was low, but with legendary weapons, he had become an incredible damager.
The weapons had been expensive, but once purchased, they did their job.
Aktur could deal critical hits with them. The new items had changed the course of Aktur's career. He had better items now, so he would be a more complicated opponent.
Junhyuk turned to the robots. One had six legs and four arms, and Junhyuk couldn't tell what its powers were. It was big, so Junhyuk thought it could be a tank.
The other hero was humanoid in shape, but none of it was flesh.
He looked at the android's hands and saw that it did not hold any weapons. Junhyuk was completely oblivious to what it could do.
The minions were nearly naked. They had their privates covered and they were wielding spears.
Looking at them, Junhyuk said, "I know Aktur. His ultimate is useless, but he can curse you and debuff your speed. He can also ensnare with his bandages and summon skeleton soldiers."
Sarang stared at Aktur and said, "If he can pull us, shouldn't he die first?"
"His ultimate changes allied placement. We should kill him because of his weapons."
"Those are legendary weapons."
Junhyuk nodded heavily. Aktur's new weapons were Tuelus' legendary items. They had also been upgraded.
Tuelus had been equipped with other items as well, but right now, they couldn't ignore Aktur. The enemy hero had also gotten to that tier.
Elise smacked her lips and said, "What do we do about the other two?"
The other enemies were huge question marks, so after some thought, Junhyuk said, "Let's fight them and find out."
Elise buffed him, and he smiled. With her buffs, he was sure he could win.
Now that Aktur had Tuelus' weapons, he knew that the enemy hero wouldn't be that easy. But, Junhyuk had grown exponentially since being teamed up with Aktur.
Junhyuk stepped forward. He didn't know if the range of his Spatial Slash had grown, so he would use it and find out.
Aktur stepped aside, and the robots stepped forward. They made noise every time they moved. Junhyuk took a deep breath.
"Attack!" he shouted, and the minions rushed forth.
The sound of the robots rang above any other sound.
The enemies moved. The nearly-naked minions ran at the allies. They were faster than the allied minions. Their unprotected bodies had no defense, but they were fast. However, because of the difference in number, the enemy minions wouldn't kill the allied minions.
Knowing that, Junhyuk went all out from the start. His Spatial Slash triggered at a seventy-meter range. That was his first use of the Spatial Slash in the Dimensional Battlefield since studying it.
With Aksha's Longsword, he could use it from seventy meters away.
Craack!
The six-legged robot received the attack, which severed some tubes connecting its neck and head. Green liquid started pouring out of the area attacked, but it was not a critical hit. There was a significant damage difference between critical and non-critical hits.
The robot lost 20 percent of its health. Both its defense and its health were high.
Junhyuk continued to attack, relieved to see that robots also bled. The range of his Spatial Slash had increased, so Junhyuk would work even harder.
Even if Aktur's powers had evolved, Junhyuk still had his force field, so he moved forward.
The android aimed its hand at Junhyuk. Particles of light started gathering on it. A blast shot like a bullet toward Junhyuk, who blocked the attack with his swords, triggering an explosion.
Boom!
Junhyuk lost 10 percent of his health. The android's attack stat was quite high. The range of the attack was forty meters, which meant that the hero was a sniper of sorts.
The six-legged robot moved toward him, and Junhyuk ran forward. He was sure that Sarang and Elise would cover him.
Throughout this whole exchange, Aktur hadn't moved. Junhyuk wasn't sure about Aktur's range either. If Aktur managed to pull him, Junhyuk would raise his force field.
He closed in against the six-legged robot and slashed at it.
Clang!
The robot's arms had been judged as battlefield weapons, and they blocked Junhyuk's sword. Junhyuk attacked again.
The blade of his longsword moved by his will, and the robot opened its mouth and spewed a green liquid from of it. Junhyuk didn't get hit by the liquid, however, teleporting above the hero as he swung his sword down at it.
Dentra's Magic Sword pierced the hero's head, but it wasn't a critical hit. The attack dealt 8 percent of damage to the hero, and Junhyuk concluded that the robot was a tank. The android fired another blast.
The blast was smaller than the previous one, but Junhyuk teleported away.
He appeared next to Aktur since Aktur was his primary focus.
Previously, Aktur had had no real defense. Even if Aktur had evolved, it was possible that the hero was still weak. But, Aktur did not get slashed by his sword.
"Perfect Evasion?"
Aktur smiled, and beams crossed the air. Junhyuk knew that legendary weapons were strong, but that was a regular attack.
Junhyuk blocked both beams with his swords. Sarang had used her blasts to paralyze the other two heroes. She wanted to attack Aktur, but he acted faster than her. Shadow hands rose from the ground underneath, and when Junhyuk felt them, he used his Spatial Collapse.
Aktur hadn't known about it, and he was sucked toward it. Perfect Evasion depended too much on the odds. Junhyuk had access to it as well, but it almost never triggered.
Junhyuk slashed at Aktur, who was now under attack.
Slash!
His attack missed again, which surprised him. Not just one, but two attacks had missed. The rate of success of Aktur's Perfect Evasion had to be very high.
The Spatial Collapse had landed, and Aktur had lost 55 percent of his health from it, meaning that Aktur's defense was higher than before.
Aktur smiled and declared, "I'm different now."
