Chapter 77: Bouncing Back 4 action

Translator: - - Editor: - -

They came upon the last buff monster, and its appearance surprised Junhyuk.

"Is that the mixture of a turtle and a snake?"

The monster was a giant turtle with a snake for a tail. It was about sixty-five feet long, and it looked weaker than the dragon, but it still looked formidable.

Everyone was there except for Nudra, and Halo looked at Junhyuk and smiled.

"You survived."

"Halo, if you hadn’t yelled at me, we would have died on the spot."

Junhyuk had been able to escape because Halo, who hadn’t spoken even once before, yelled at him to tell him to get away.

Diane walked over to Junhyuk, looked at his butt and smacked her lips.

"I can’t see your juicy butt because you are wearing that armor."

Junhyuk hid his butt and said:

"This is sexual harassment!"

"I told you, we are of different species."

Diane smacked her lips again.

"We didn’t find anyone. Did you?"

"We came across Minota and killed him."

"OK."

Vera went up to Diane and whispered in her ear. They looked at Junhyuk every so often while whispering, and Junhyuk looked the other way. He knew what they were talking about.

That’s when Nudra showed up with 300 minions in tow.

Junhyuk was surprised.

"Are we killing this monster, doing the team battle and going straight for the castle siege?"

"Correct," Artlan continued calmly. "So, this time we hunt alone."

They needed to save the minions for the siege, which meant that they wouldn’t go back and would fight to the end, and wouldn’t take them to hunt the buff monster.

Artlan’s eyes turned to Junhyuk.

"You come with us."

"Of course!"

Junhyuk didn’t know how much damage he would be able to inflict on the buff monster. The monster had the body of a turtle, so its defense had to be pretty high, and he was glad to have the fixed damage buff.

Artlan ran forward and shouted:

"Let’s begin!"

Artlan attacked the turtle with his saber. He aimed for the turtle’s neck, but the turtle withdrew it very fast, and he ended up hitting its shell.

Clang!

The saber bounced off the shell.

"It’s thick! Vera, hit it hard!" He shouted.

"Fine!"

Vera lifted up her staff, preparing her magic. Halo aimed for the turtle’s tail, and Junhyuk went with Halo. Something was different now that Halo had started speaking. His aura seemed lighter, and he seemed freer. Halo ran with him and said:

"I’ll attack it first."

"OK."

Previously, Artlan paired up with Junhyuk, but this time, Halo was taking him. Halo attacked in a flash. He covered a distance of sixty-five feet in a split second, and his flash attack wounded the snake’s neck. The snake bared its poisonous teeth, and Junhyuk ran from behind and swung his sword.

Clang!

He didn’t do as much damage as he wanted, but the fixed damage worked well. The snake snapped at him, but he teleported to stand on top of its head, above the snake’s eyes.

The Blood Rune Sword went through one of the snake’s eyeballs.

Thlaack!

The snake screamed and shook its head, and Junhyuk lost his balance and was thrown off. He was falling through the air when the snake snapped at him again.

The snake’s attack was really fast, so Junhyuk teleported far away from it. He could see the snake’s mouth exactly where he had been. If he hadn’t been able to use spatial relocation, he would’ve been killed.

The snake’s neck was stretched out from trying to attack Junhyuk, and Halo jumped and slashed it with his sword.

The attack was different from Junhyuk’s. Halo’s attack had pierced the skin, going deep into the snake’s neck. The head had almost been sliced off, and Diane loosened some arrows at it in a row. Her attacks were very precise, increasing the gash on its neck.

Halo swung his sword again, and the snake was decapitated.

Right then, the turtle’s head popped out, and it opened its mouth wide. Poison smoke billowed out of it while the turtle turned around.

"Sarang!" Artlan shouted.

Sarang fired an electric blast. The blast hit the turtle and paralyzed it. The turtle had wanted to cover itself in poison smoke, but now it couldn’t move.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Meteors fell from the sky on the turtle’s shell, but they also hit the turtle’s head, and Artlan swung his saber at it.

The turtle’s head was about to be sliced off when Nudra stepped in.

Bam!

Finally, the turtle’s head was smashed to bits, and it was over. The turtle’s body started to disappear, and everyone smiled. They heard a soft whisper:

[You killed the Envoy Turtle. For the next two hours, your defense is increased by fifty. When you attack, you inflict a poison status of 200 damage over five seconds. This effect can be stacked three times. If you die within the time limit, you will lose your buff to your opponent.]

It was a huge deal to be able to inflict 200 damage in five seconds, and it was possible to stack it. That meant they could do 600 damage in five seconds.

That was a huge buff, and it also increased defense.

Artlan’s eyes beamed.

"That’s too bad! We didn’t get anything this time."

He was talking about loot like they had gotten from the harpy, which had been very effective.

"We need to get the team battle done in the next couple of hours. Hurry!"

Everyone moved toward the central road, and they got to a place where the enemy heroes were already gathered.

There were four of them.

Artlan checked and saw they still had one hour left on the buff.

"We attack!"

He didn’t wait and ran forward. The enemies were on the watchtower, and Artlan rushed at them, leaving Junhyuk surprised. It was dangerous to have a team battle by a watchtower, but the heroes didn’t care.

As Artlan advanced, Halo shouted:

"Minions, attack the watchtower!"

There were only fifty enemy minions at the watchtower to go against their 300.

When the team battle started, the archers would attack the heroes, and the allied minions should attack the watchtower. Junhyuk followed the minions.

"Destroy the watchtower!" Halo shouted at him.

The watchtower posed a problem for the heroes, and Junhyuk could easily take care of the fifty enemy minions. He had a defense buff, so he could ignore all of the minions’ attacks. Also, he had gotten so strong that his attacks would massacre them.

The heroes were engaged in the team battle while Junhyuk ran toward the minions. He was confident that he would kill them all.

He made sure to engrave it in his mind that it was important to destroy the watchtower. Berserked minions came at him, but Junhyuk’s swords sliced and diced them.

His attack power was so high, he didn’t really push himself, but he still killed them easily. He had killed twelve minions when he came to a sudden stop.

"What’s going on?"

Junhyuk was surprised, and an enemy minion approached. That minion looked shorter than the others, but at close inspection, he was hunched over.

"A novice?"

"Ha-ha-ha! I heard about you. They’ve given me special instructions."

"You think you can do something to me?"

Junhyuk looked himself over. It wasn’t a simple paralysis. A shadow was restraining him, and the restraint’s effective time was long.

Junhyuk shook violently, trying to move, but then a shadow appeared behind him. Skia popped out of the shadow and was attempting to stab him.

"Big brother!" Sarang shouted.

Junhyuk heard her and launched his force field reflexively. When the force field appeared, Skia’s dagger bounced off of it, and he was no longer restrained.

Junhyuk swung his swords at the enemy novice. The novice lifted his double axes, but Junhyuk was too strong. He pushed the axes down with one sword and swung the Frozen Rune Sword at the novice. The novice retreated quickly, but the sword grazed his neck.

After that, Junhyuk ignored the novice and looked at Skia. The novice grabbed his neck, staggered and dropped to the ground, dying.

The novice had a low pool of health and couldn’t handle the 200 poison damage.

Junhyuk attacked Skia, but Skia knew Junhyuk was immune to everything for ten seconds and retreated.

However, Junhyuk had no intention of letting Skia go. His force field was up, so he wanted to catch Skia right then, or Skia would attack him again from behind when he attacked the watchtower.

Skia saw him chasing. Skia just wanted to get away, but Skia was not scared of him.

"How dare you?!"

They were in the middle of a team battle, but Skia had attacked him because of his powers. His force field was dangerous to heroes engaged in a team battle. Skia wanted to kill him first, so Skia used a novice to do it, but the novice had failed.

Now, Junhyuk showed no fear chasing Skia.

Five seconds had already passed, and after another five, it will take just one heavy blow to take Junhyuk down. Skia wanted to run the clock on those five seconds and then attack.

Junhyuk was getting worried about fighting Skia head to head. Skia was on defense, so he had to come up with something. That’s when he cut his own hand three times with the Blood Rune Sword and heard a soft whisper:

[You stacked three self-injuries with the Blood Rune Sword. You get a 30-percent buff to attack speed and a 15-percent buff to movement speed.]

Junhyuk’s swords started moving faster. His attack speed had increased, leaving Skia surprised, and he took the opportunity to cut Skia’s elbow.

"Ha!" Skia felt the fixed damage and frowned. "You are nothing!"

Skia was livid and swung the daggers chaotically. Junhyuk knew he needed more than an increase to attack speed. Ellic was slow to begin with, but Skia was using double daggers. He needed more than a 30-percent, attack-speed increase to fight Skia.

The opportunity came from elsewhere. An arrow flew in from behind Skia, and as Skia saw the arrow approaching, Skia thinned out and disappeared.

Junhyuk knew Skia had to show up again to attack, and Skia’s attack range was short, so he teleported away.

As expected, Skia appeared swinging the daggers at the spot where Junhyuk had been standing. He was running to meet Skia when Artlan’s saber came down on Skia.

Clung, clung, clung!

Skia tried to withstand the attacks, but Artlan’s saber was not Junhyuk’s swords, so Skia was forced back, and Artlan slashed Skia’s ribs.

"Ugh!"

Skia staggered, and Junhyuk ran at Skia. Skia was out of powers, and Junhyuk joined the fight, pressuring Skia even more.

Finally, Skia was beheaded. Artlan looked at the dead Skia and saw an arrow coming at them, so he grabbed Junhyuk and pulled him out of the way.

Junhyuk looked around. He had been too focused on the novice and Skia to notice, but all enemy heroes were dead.

"There were only three. Sarang paralyzed Libya, so we killed her first and took care of the other of two. Stupid Skia came after you and was easily killed by me," Artlan calmly explained.

Junhyuk was used as a bait to destroy the watchtower, and the team battle was easily won, so he shrugged.

"Then, let’s destroy the watchtower before we head to the castle and before they reincarnate."

"Right."

Artlan smiled and shouted:

"Destroy!"
