Warren went up to Junhyuk at once and swung his claws at him. Junhyuk thought about what he could do in that situation:

Attack or slash Warren? Impossible.

Run away? Impossible.

In the end, all he could do was buy more time. If he did not die, Artlan and Vera were just behind Warren, and they could save him.

Junhyuk saw Warren’s claws coming toward him and also knew that if he blocked them head-on, he would just be blown back. His swords were within range of Warren’s attack, but he also knew it was still dangerous.

Junhyuk decided to hit Warren’s claws. He did not know if it was possible.

Junhyuk’s sword sliced through the air aiming at Warren’s wrist. He was highly focused and was catching up to Warren’s speed.

Warren ignored Junhyuk’s attack on his wrist and swung his claws.

Shink!

Even though it was very small, he had scratched Warren. Since becoming an expert, his attack power increased, and he was able to inflict a wound on the werewolf.

Warren ignored his wound and extended his paws. Junhyuk’s arm was pushed back, but it was a small push. Still, Warren’s claws grazed Junhyuk’s face.

Everything happened very slowly for Junhyuk. He tilted his head and bent backwards. He was getting closer to Warren, but it was the only thing he could do now to survive.

His cheek was cut, but Junhyuk had prevented his head from being perforated. However, he was still in danger. Warren knew his right paw attack had failed and was about to wing his left paw.

This time, there was no other place to go.

Junhyuk saw Warren attacking his ribs, and he placed his right arm above his ribs and held fast to his sword. Above his sword, he could see Warren’s claws approaching.

Clang!

Junhyuk felt the shock and felt his body get off the ground. He had at least a few broken ribs. While he was still in the air, Warren swung his right claws. There was no way out.

Quickly, he lifted his sword above his head. The only thing he could do was try to block the attack.

Clang!

To think his sword’s durability could withstand it was wrong. His sword broke into pieces, and, if he hadn’t tilted his head, it would’ve been crushed. Instead of his head, his shoulder was shattered into pieces. His shoulder was broken, and his arm was torn off.

Warren seized the opportunity and opened his mouth wide. He meant to devour him. Then, suddenly, a fire spear hit Warren’s back, but Warren was using his healing power.

Even though the fire spear was burning his back, Warren ignored it and bit Junhyuk.

Chomp!

Warren’s became devoid of expression not because he bit Junhyuk’s head, but because he was biting Artlan’s saber. Artlan had shown up and swung his saber at Warren’s mouth.

Warren, who had bitten Artlan’s saber, tilted his head. Even though he was using healing mode, he had his head sliced through. Healing was impossible now.

Warren moved slightly, and Junhyuk rolled on the ground.

From Warren’s point of view, he had to use that opportunity to kill Junhyuk. Warren ignored the other attacks on him and tried to kill Junhyuk.

If he wanted for Artlan to let go of him, Warren had to howl, but he had a saber in his mouth, making that impossible. Then, another fire spear hit his back.

Warren still had the saber in his mouth when he aimed for Artlan’s ribs and swung his claws. The fire spears on his back did not extinguish easily. The damage continued to pile on, and Warren’s healing power had its limit.

Warren had to kill Junhyuk, and Artlan had to let go of him first.

Artlan was still holding on to his saber and used his elbow to block Warren’s attack. He knew this fight was to keep Junhyuk alive.

Warren’s claw bloodied Artlan’s elbow, but Artlan pushed his saber in harder. Warren was biting the saber hard, but Artlan was stronger.

Bit by bit, Warren’s mouth was torn open, and Warren couldn’t just keep on chasing Junhyuk. He lifts his leg and kicked Artlan on the stomach.

However, Artlan used his arm to deflect Warren’s paw, and Warren was left wide open, so Artlan attacked him. Warren’s mouth was torn some more, and another fire spear hit Warren on the thigh.

Warren couldn’t howl with his mouth like that. His thigh was on fire, and he could no longer endure Artlan’s attack. Artlan tripped and staggered Warren, putting him on the ground. He swung his saber, and Warren grabbed one of Artlan’s arms and, using his other paw, aimed his claws at Artlan’s chest.

It was such a short distance that it wasn’t possible for Artlan to completely dodge that attack.

Clang!

Even so, Warren’s claws stopped short of Artlan’s chest. The blade of Artlan’s saber had stopped Warren’s claws. Artlan held on to his saber, and smiled, showing his teeth.

"It’s too bad."

He knew how to handle his sabers in close combat. Artlan swung his saber in a wide circle, and Warren’s arm started to bleed.

"Time for you to just die."

Artlan saw Warren’s bloodied wrist and twisted his other saber, which was still stuck to Warren’t mouth. Warren’s mouth was being torn apart, and Warren got mad, stomping his paws against the ground.

Artlan kneed Warren’s chest and pushed harder against Warren’s mouth with his arms. Artlan’s muscles became bigger, and Warren’s mouth split faster.

Thlack!

In the end, Artlan tore Warren’s mouth and, in the process, split his head in half. Warren’s eyes looked at Artlan, and Artlan smiled and pushed his saber against the middle of Warren’s forehead.

"I can’t give him to you. Understand?"

Warren disappeared slowly, and Artlan turned to look at Junhyuk.

His shoulder was bleeding heavily, and he was standing on the spot where Ellic had died. If Artlan hadn’t thrown his saber on time, he too would’ve been in danger.

"Why are you just standing there?" Artlan collected Junhyuk’s torn arm and said, "Do you have a potion?"

"Yes."

"That’s good. I will hold it, so drink the potion," Artlan said while holding Junhyuk’s torn arm against his shoulder.

Junhyuk drank the potion. The potion’s healing power attached his torn arm back to his shoulder, but Junhyuk looked crushed. The potion’s taste was hell. He felt less pain when his arm had been torn off than when he drank the potion.

Junhyuk slowly moved his arm. It was still painful, but he was able to do it.

"This is really something else."

"It’s because you are at a low level," Vera said, and Junhyuk smiled bitterly.

Artlan tapped on Junhyuk’s helmet and said:

"You did well."

"I thought I was going to die."

"The important thing is that you are still alive."

Artlan picked up the dropped equipment from the ground. Ellic dropped a black glove, and Warren dropped an earring. Artlan smiled.

"These are valuable things," he said and looked at Junhyuk. "Do you have any potions left?"

"No, I don’t."

"It looks like they are only trying to kill you. You should have more potions."

"Then, are we going to the dimensional merchants?"

"Yes. We should go to Bebe."

"Both of them are dead. Isn’t this a good opportunity to push?" Vera said.

"That’s right, but this battle depends on whether we can protect him or not."

Vera looked at Junhyuk coldly. It was true Junhyuk’s presence posed a problem for the enemy. He was just an expert, but his powers were of very high level.

"We should go, but we can’t stay for long. When we have the opportunity, we should use it." Artlan said.

"I understand." Junhyuk replied.

"So, think about which weapon you want to get on the way."

Junhyuk nodded, and Artlan looked around.

"I forgot about them."

The minions were still fighting. He had been dealing with the heroes who attacked Junhyuk, and forgot about the minions.

Junhyuk held on to what remained of his sword and ran toward them, and, while running, he picked up another sword dropped by an allied minion. He wanted to use two swords since that’s what he was given.

Junhyuk was an expert. When he was a novice, he was already superior to minions.

Slash!

He blocked with his left sword and stabbed the enemy’s neck with his right. He continued his attack, and the minion was split in half.

Previously, it had been difficult for him to slice a minion in two, but now it was easy.

Junhyuk saw two simultaneous attacks against him and lifted his sword. When the enemy axe touched his sword, he thought about a video he had watched on internet.

It involved a two-handed sword, but it was possible with his current sword.

Clang, clang, clang!

He couldn’t draw one axe to the direction he wanted, but it was close enough. Junhyuk drew in both axes and slashed the minions’ necks. Then, he heard Artlan shouting:

"Don’t waste time with minions!"

Junhyuk turned, and Vera and Artlan took care of the rest. The allied minions did not suffer much.

There had been twenty-five minions at the start. Now, there were twenty. There were a lot more surviving minions than usual. The fights among the heroes were short, and Junhyuk, Artlan and Vera took care of the rest.

Junhyuk lowered both swords and lifted his head.

He wasn’t very dexterous, so it wasn’t easy for him to use both swords. It was easier for him to use the right one. Then again, he had practiced what Artlan had taught him, and was still able to use both. The difference between his arms was small.

He would rather be holding a shield and a sword, but, as he was, he could mount an immediate attack in any situation.

Dual-wielding was less destructive than using a two-handed sword, but he could attack continuously. Artlan’s sabers were an example. He liked having two sabers more than he liked Halo’s sword.

"Let’s go."

The group began moving, and Sarang joined Junhyuk. He drank the potion, reattaching his arm to his body, but his armor was still bloodied.

"Big brother!"

Sarang looked at Junhyuk, worried.

"I’m OK."

"But..." action

It had been a serious wound. When Junhyuk clashed with Warren, it had been difficult to tell what was happening when Junhyuk broke his shoulder.

She had been really worried when she saw Junhyuk’s arm fall off. If Artlan hadn’t helped, Junhyuk would’ve died.

It was astounding to see the arm reattached, but Junhyuk still did not look good. He spun his arms in circles and said:

"You saw me fighting minions."

He tapped his own shoulder. The shoulder had broken and turned bloody, but he was OK now. He still felt strange, but, overall, he was feeling fine.

Sarang looked at him calmly, extended her hand and touched his shoulder. Even though it had blood on it, his shoulder looked OK.

"Big brother, don’t die."

Junhyuk pushed hard against Sarang’s helmet.

"Didn’t I tell you? We will return together."

After Junhyuk spoke, Sarang’s fear disappeared as if it had been a lie. She had felt like a strong person like Junhyuk could die, which had made her freeze, and she hadn’t even been able to use her energy bolt.

Junhyuk’s speech seeped into her heart, and she was no longer scared.

"Right. So, if you die, I won’t stand for it."

Junhyuk knew she was worried about him and smiled. It was good to know someone was worried about him.

"Don’t worry. I definitely won’t die."
