Chapter 417: The Last Member 3

It was important to check the range of the knife throw, but Junhyuk didn’t have time to pay attention. He was flying, and Penslin was already pulling on his bow’s string.

Penslin shot again, and Junhyuk teleported. Suddenly, an explosion took place where he had been standing. Junhyuk closed in quickly, swinging his swords. At close range, he had the advantage.

Penslin blocked Junhyuk’s sword with his bow.

Clang!

However, as he did, he was already pulling the string back, preparing another shot. Junhyuk felt that they were true heroes. He didn’t know if they had just activated their powers and become heroes, or if they had begun as heroes. Nevertheless, those were heroes with battle sense.

So far, he had only met weak heroes, so he had forgotten about how strong and skilled heroes could be.

Junhyuk wasn’t sure about their equipment, but regarding their powers, they weren’t lacking in anything against him.

As he turned around, protecting his weak spot, Penslin let go of the bowstring.

Thunk!

Junhyuk was pushed back, and after being pushed back, he teleported to Penslin again. He had received 12 percent of damage, and the attack had put some distance between the two.

Penlin’s power had pushed him back by twenty meters. Penslin was a sniper, and he had a power that pushed the enemy back to gain some distance.

Junhyuk thought Penslin’s attack damage was at least twice of those of his previous enemies. On top of that, he also knew how to use his powers effectively. Junhyuk slashed at Penslin again.

Junhyuk couldn’t afford to be careless. Penslin looked comfortable using the bow to protect himself, so Junhyuk had to trigger his acceleration.

Penslin tried to block with the bow again, so Junhyuk changed the direction of his attack, slashing Penlin’s wrist.

The attack dealt 9 percent of damage to the hero. Junhyuk had seen all of Penslin’s powers except for his ultimate, so he decided it was time to kill the hero. He triggered a Spatial Collapse on Penslin’s chest.

Penslin was different from previous heroes. He was an undead. More accurately, he was a skeleton hero, so his bones shattered as he was sucked into the Spatial Collapse.

Penslin died, and Junhyuk turned back. Rodrey and Alondo were fighting.

While Junhyuk fought, Alondo lost 42 percent of his health. Rodrey had used his speed buff and his throwing knives.

Alondo was very fast, but with Rodrey’s speed buff power, he was faster. Junhyuk wanted support his partner, so he chased after Alondo.

Alondo extended the hand that wasn’t holding the scythe. Suddenly, a black ring shackled Rodrey. The enemy hero had a flipping power and a restraining power. He was a good pair for a sniper.

Junhyuk quickly chased after Alondo, who made his skeleton horse rear, and suddenly, twelve skeleton horses appeared. They all rushed toward Rodrey, so Junhyuk extended his hand and raised the force field around Rodrey.

Even covered by the force field, Rodrey was pushed back.

Nevertheless, Rodrey smirked and said, “This is a nice power.” The hero extended both hands and shouted, “Time for my other power!”

With Rodrey’s shout, ten knives flew up to the sky. They all crashed around Alondo, but they pierced the enemy hero’s body as they fell. Alondo lost 25 percent of his health.

Rodrey’s attack was very strong, even without equipment. With equipment, he would be much more powerful.

Junhyuk went after Alondo, who had 33 percent of his health and was running toward him. Alondo knew about the force field, so he changed his target.

When he closed in, Alondo swung his scythe. Junhyuk dodged the scythe, which looked incredibly powerful, and swung his sword in a counterattack.

The skeleton horse jumped to the side and dodged the attack. Alondo attacked again. The scythe’s length was longer than the length of Junhyuk’s body, but Junhyuk simply turned sideways to dodge the strike.

He was using his acceleration to dodge the scythe attacks, but his opponent was an undead without any muscle limitation, so the scythe changed trajectory and headed toward Junhyuk. He blocked the strike with both of his swords, but he was pulled up from the ground. He had no answer for that attack.

While Junhyuk was in the air, Alondo raised his scythe. Junhyuk had no way of escaping.

At the same time, Rodrey ran toward them and threw a knife. Alondo got hit, but he still swung the scythe down on Junhyuk, who attempted to block with his swords. However, suddenly, the scythe became translucent and went through his swords, slashing Junhyuk.

“Ugh!”

He had experienced something similar before. Nid had used a power like that, and there was no way to defend against it.

Junhyuk received 15 percent of damage, which was more than other attacks. Junhyuk thought the power also had a piercing buff. While thinking about it, he landed on the ground and went after Alondo again. However, Alondo’s movement speed was faster than his speed.

Since Alondo was faster, he kept an even distance from Junhyuk, whose attack couldn’t reach the hero. Junhyuk still had to wait for his powers to return.

Junhyuk had thought his own speed and swordsmanship to be superior to other heroes’. He had thought that even without powers, he would’ve been able to fight. But, even with his acceleration triggered, there was no muscle movement from Alondo for him to see, so he couldn’t attack or parry. It seemed like Alondo had been created by the heavens to be his nemesis.

Junhyuk had to wait for the Spatial Slash and the Spatial Collapse to come off cooldown. In the meantime, Rodrey was helping him.

Alondo was keeping his distance, but Rodrey did not miss any of his knife attacks. Alondo had been focusing on Junhyuk, so he hadn’t noticed Rodrey’s attacks. Each knife dealt 5 percent of damage to the hero.

Because of that, Alondo, who had been playing with Junhyuk, spurred his horse and started to run away. His movement speed was very high, but Rodrey chased after the hero while throwing knives at him. By that point, Alondo only had 3 percent of his health left.

On his horse, Alondo dodged the knives being thrown at him. He ignored Junhyuk and focused all of his attention on Rodrey’s attacks. He needed to do that to dodge them all.

Junhyuk had no other choice. He used his jump skill at an angle. With it, he closed in on Alondo. However, Alondo saw him coming and changed the direction of his skeleton horse. Junhyuk’s attack missed, but Rodrey threw another knife that sank into Alondo’s back, and Alondo disappeared.

Rodrey saw him fade away and asked, “What happens when one dies?”

“One must travel through a heavy emptiness before reviving. Heroes can revive as many times as they want. The revival process isn’t that long, but you’ll drop an item.”

“I heard about that too, that heroes drop one of the items they are holding. And that weapons are the last to drop.”

“Right. For that reason, some heroes only upgrade their weapons. It’s a good idea in theory, but it’s better to maintain a good balance over having just your weapons be good.”

“Hm... Is there equipment better than what I own?”

“You can get anything from the merchant as long as you have money. You can get really nice items, but the price will be really high.”

“This is an interesting place,” Rodrey concluded as he picked up the ring dropped by Alondo. Junhyuk picked up the item Penslin had dropped. It was a bracelet.

—

Bracelet of Darkness

Attack +15

Dark Attack +2%

This bracelet is borne out of darkness, and it increases both regular attack and dark attack.

—

Considering the buffs on the item, the bracelet didn’t work very well for Junhyuk. He decided to sell it later, thinking that the bracelet would get him a nice amount of gold.

So far, all of the items he had picked up had sold for 35,000G. That bracelet would be worth more. Their current enemies were better, so naturally, their items were as well.

Junhyuk thought that the level of this new group of heroes seemed similar to the first team he fought, when he first joined Artlan. He remembered selling their items for 40,000G.

Heroes owned both cheap and expensive items, and Junhyuk thought the bracelet should be one of the cheapest items Penslin had been carrying.

After using the minions to destroy the watchtower, Junhyuk suddenly remembered something. Ordinarily, the fight for the buff tower would’ve been over and won, and the allies would’ve been buffed. However, this time, that hadn’t happened.

Junhyuk called Sarang, and her image appeared in front of him.

“What happened? You haven’t taken the buff tower yet?”

“I’m in the buff tower waiting for the buff to trigger right now, but Layla died during the last battle.”

“Layla died?!”

Layla’s defense wasn’t all that great, but her attack was superior to most people’s. Finding out that she had died, Junhyuk scowled.

“The opponent was that strong?”

“Without my ultimate, I’d been killed as well. One of the heroes must have had a piercing buff. Layla was killed easily. They also had a champion with them.”

“But you killed them all?”

“Just barely. With my ultimate.”

Sarang’s ultimate made her invincible for five second, so the enemies hadn’t been able to kill her.

Junhyuk also concluded that they had been able to kill their own enemies because there had only been two. If three of them had appeared, the allies would’ve had a terrible time. On top of that, the enemy team had a champion.

Junhyuk called Gongon.

“Gon, how’s the left side?”

“Elise helped me kill the hero, and we destroyed the watchtower. The enemy was an undead tank, but it was weak against my firebreath.”

Junhyuk had been made aware that undead enemies wouldn’t receive a critical hit from an attack to the neck, but he hadn’t known they were weak against fire.

Gongon had fire powers, so he would become the protagonist in the fight against these new enemies.
