Junhyuk opened the door and walked out. He had died, but his team was winning.
"What happened?" he contacted them and asked.
"We killed them all."
"Nobody else died, right?"
"We focused on them while they were killing you, so it was easy, " Gongon replied.
"You did well."
"Hurry up and get back here."
"I will. Head for their castle."
Junhyuk went to the store and asked Bebe, "Do you have any Pure Golden Knight set item?"
"No. Did you lose your cloak?"
Junhyuk smiled bitterly and replied, "I'll be back."
He left and took the middle path. Even going through the shortest path, it would take him a while to reach the enemy castle. That made him worried. Would the enemies attack the allies? They would probably be more careful in team battles now.
Even without him, the allies were strong, and Elise was with them. His mind was not at ease however. Junhyuk was taking two hundred minions with him on his way to join the rest of his team.
While heading up the middle path, he swung his swords. His understanding of Aksha's swordsmanship was greater than ever. While practicing his swings, he was thinking he wanted to try it out on Earth.
After passing the first allied tower, someone contacted him.
"Big brother, were are in a stand-off against the enemy team now, but Aktur isn't here."
Junhyuk frowned. It would take him eight hours to cross the mountain. He could get to the top and take the buff so that he could move faster.
Aktur could go around destroying the allied watchtowers.
"By using the portals, he could go around even faster."
"Do you think he's doing that?"
Junhyuk scratched his forehead and said, "We might end up losing one of the paths."
"But we are winning."
"We have to win the next team battle."
The allies had to win the team battle in front of the enemy castle to win the fight. There were two snipers, a supporter and a tank in the enemy team. Without Aktur, things should be easy.
Aktur definitely increased the enemies' attack strength, but Junhyuk didn't want them to fight just yet.
"Don't start until I get there. They shouldn't fight you."
The enemy team would use Aktur to maximize their advantage. They would wait until he returned before starting the fight.
If the allies attacked first, Aktur might return immediately. Even with Elise, the allied team couldn't fight Aktur without Junhyuk.
When he reached the top of the mountain, Junhyuk sat at the buff tower.
Where was Aktur at that moment? Junhyuk wanted to fight him in single combat, but he didn't know where the hero was.
Once buffed, Junhyuk headed down. Now that he was buffed, he was moving faster and he could see the enemy castle far off in the distance.
Junhyuk couldn't really make them out, but he could see shapes in front of the castle. Once the fight began, Aktur would return.
Junhyuk wanted to kill an enemy hero before Aktur appeared. He couldn't reach the snipers on the parapet of the wall, so he decided to deal with Trarune, the tank, and Blinka, the supporter. They were strong, so it wouldn't be easy.
He headed down while thinking of that. Due to his increased movement speed, he quickly reached the destroyed enemy watchtower.
When he reached the allies, he saw Gongon yawning.
The hatchling said, "Took you long enough."
"It did."
Last time, Rodrey had been the one to make the trek to the castle by himself. Now, Junhyuk had had to do it. He had died alone.
Junhyuk looked over the allies and saw that everyone was ready to attack. He turned to the minions. They had 240 of them, which would be enough to finish the fight.
Junhyuk wanted to kill a hero before Aktur returned, but if he used his powers, he would not have them in the fight against Aktur.
"Before Aktur gets back, let's kill one of them, " he decided.
Everyone started moving. Junhyuk took the lead. Gongon followed him, and Layla came up behind Gongon. Sarang and Rodrey joined in after, and Elise took the rear.
Junhyuk wanted to kill Blinka first. Of the two, Blinka had the lowest defense, but its powers were the most dangerous.
Junhyuk measured the distance between them, but just as he was about to use his Spatial Slash, a bone armor covered Blinka. Aktur was back.
The bone armor absorbed a lot of damage, so he gave up on Blinka. Instead, he would attack Aktur now that he was back.
Junhyuk used his Spatial Collapse. The hero would regret teleporting back.
While Aktur staggered due to the collapse, Junhyuk used his Spatial Slash, and thunderbolts slammed the hero.
Everyone attacked Aktur, but only the Spatial Collapse hit him. Aktur had colored rings underneath his feet. Junhyuk frowned when he saw them. Those were the new buffs.
Aktur's eyes beamed, and Junhyuk was paralyzed.
[You've been struck by Wave of Fear. You'll be paralyzed for three seconds. ]
Errune fired missiles at him, and Edrol shot a giant ball of light.
Two ultimates. While Junhyuk was paralyzed, he was hit by two ultimates.
Trarune, as a giant, tried to stomp on him, but Rodrey attacked the enemy hero. Size didn't bother Rodrey. Trarune was launched in the air, and an enlarged Gongon headbutted Blinka.
Aktur summoned his skeleton soldiers, who also attacked Junhyuk.
Elise ran toward him and used her nullification field.
Crack, crack, crack!
The skeleton soldiers all shattered. The field nullified all of the powers within it. Aktur frowned at that, and Elise attacked him.
While Trarune was falling, it came within the nullification field and returned to its original size. The field also nullified ultimates.
Junhyuk had regained his movement, and light green powder sprinkled over his head. Feeling his health coming back, he sighed, relieved.
He had 85 percent of his health left.
Before the nullification field disappeared, he attacked Aktur. The other allied heroes did the same.
Aktur couldn't dodge all of their attacks.
While the three vanguard heroes attacked Aktur, Rodrey used his ultimate. The knives dropped from the sky on top of Aktur, Trarune and Blinka, leaving Aktur with 5 percent of his health.
Junhyuk wanted to deliver the final blow, but Blinka grabbed him and pulled him toward the archers, who attacked him. Junhyuk faced a dilemma. Should he use his force field at that moment, or should he fight without it?
Junhyuk decided to fight without it. He teleported out of Blinka's grasp and slashed at Aktur, who was in the middle of pulling Rodrey.
The damage got through, and Aktur died. Aktur had had the Wave of Fear buff, which had put the allies in significant danger, but he was dead now.
Blinka used its stunning wave at that moment, and all of the allies were stunned.
Junhyuk regretted having saved his force field. He could've killed Blinka in those ten seconds, but now, he was stunned for three.
Junhyuk expected the enemies to attack him, but they focused on Rodrey.
The reason was obvious: Rodrey had the lowest defense, and he had already lost some health.
The enemies' attacks were strong, and having already used his ultimate, Rodrey died. It took three seconds for the hero to die, so everyone was able to move again.
When the allies moved, the enemies retreated. They wanted to fight within the archers' range.
Junhyuk didn't care. He raised his force field, grabbed his allies and teleported. Junhyuk attacked Blinka first. He could only use regular attacks, but it was still good damage. The other allies hadn't used all of their powers yet.
Gongon used his firebreath; Elise summoned Zaira; and Sarang shot off electric blasts.
When Blinka was paralyzed, Layla used her ultimate.
Blinka's health dropped until it died. Trarune stayed by the castle's wall.
When the allies attack Trarune, the force field disappeared. Time was of the essence in that fight.
"Kill Trarune and destroy the gate!"
The allies had to finish the fight before their enemies revived.
Junhyuk had gained the buffs from killing Aktur, so he used Wave of Fear on Trarune, who was paralyzed.
