Legend of Legends

Sarang was wearing the Red Core Armor, and a blood-colored light shot out of it, headed toward Jean Clo. The bloody light surrounded him, and thorns grew out of it, piercing his body. He winced and he could feel the thorns suppressing his ability to regenerate.

Jean Clo stared daggers at Sarang. There were two other heroes, and he had placed his trust on his ultimate, but it no longer had any meaning. The hole in his stomach that had been closing stopped, and he would be risking his life if he continued to fight in that state.

Junhyuk was dangerous, but he thought Sarang was even more so, at least for him.

Jean Clo ignored his injury and rushed toward Sarang, but Halo stepped in front of her. Halo had gotten his sword back and was ready to face him, but that's when Bater lifted both arms, and slammed the ground with his fists.

His power had a range of sixty-five feet and damaged everyone caught in it, so Junhyuk grabbed Sarang's hand and dashed quickly toward the rear.

Boom! Boom!

Bater had to punched the ground three times to generate shockwaves at max range . When he punched the ground a second time, Nudra front-kicked him. He was pushed back, and the third slam didn't work. Junhyuk was now well out of range.

Halo slashed Jean Clo, but Jean Clo managed to take a hold of Halo and slam him against the ground. Jean Clo was certainly an extremely dangerous enemy. Even though he was wounded, he still manhandled Halo. He grabbed Halo again and used his giant swing power to throw him far away.

Junhyuk stood in front of Sarang. Vera and Diane kept attacking, and Jean Clo would die soon, but if Jean Clo grabbed him or Sarang, either of them would die immediately. If so, Junhyuk had to die before she did, and he blocked the path to her with that in mind. Jean Clo smiled and extended his hands.

Junhyuk swung the Frozen Rune Sword at him, cutting his elbow, but he didn't let his guard down. A fire spear and some arrows had hit Jean Clo, but he was still trying to grab people. He wouldn't die from Junhyuk's attack.

Junhyuk managed to cut him two more times, but Jean Clo grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up with one hand. Jean Clo's eyes beamed with killer instinct.

"I'll show you."

After he spoke, Junhyuk saw the world turn upside down. He was looking at the sky on his way to the ground when a fire spear hit Jean Clo in the head.

Boom!

Junhyuk slammed against the ground.

"Ugh!"

Jean Clo had been dying, and his power hadn't been at full strength, but he still dealt a lot of damage. Junhyuk's back was broken, and he saw the sky turning yellow. He grabbed his back and tried to get up.

Bater one-two comboed Nudra and extended his arms toward Junhyuk. The rocket punches were ready, but the cooldown for Junhyuk's teleportation was not. He couldn't do anything in that situation.

The rocket fists flew toward him. He was ready to die and tried to use his swords to block the attack. However, a wide-shouldered shadow appeared before him. It was Halo, and he took the hit instead.

Boom!

Halo had lost some health fighting Jean Clo, and now he was hit by Bater's ultimate, so he started disappearing. Halo was pushed back and hit Junhyuk, and Junhyuk rolled on the ground endlessly.

After rolling for a while, Junhyuk got up. A row of arrows and a fire orb hit Bater, and he bounced back. Nudra created a strong wind and pushed him back even farther. Halo was disappearing, and Junhyuk frowned while looking at him.

"Shit!"

If Halo hadn't blocked the attack for him, he would've been killed. Halo died in his place, and he was grateful. That gratitude changed into fury toward Bater.

Junhyuk lifted his head, saw Bater being pushed back nonstop, and ran toward him. Bater saw him, and gathered his thoughts. He exhaled some cigar smoke, intending to kill Junhyuk in any way possible.

He rushed toward Junhyuk like a tank, and Junhyuk dashed toward him overcome by fury. The anger burned within him, but his head was cool. This was revenge for Halo, so he had to remain calm.

Bater rushed in and swung his mechanical fist at him. Junhyuk watched the fist heading toward him, closing the distance between the them. When the wind pressure from the fist stung his eyes, Junhyuk teleported.

He appeared again standing behind Bater and swung his swords. Junhyuk made a small cut on Bater's neck and felt much better.

Bater felt Junhyuk standing behind him and attempted a backspin blow, but Junhyuk had already ducked to dodge any potential attacks. If Bater didn't use one of his powers, Junhyuk could dodge his attacks.

Junhyuk moved like lightning and swung at Bater's neck again, but Bater wasn't an easy opponent. He raised his mechanical hand to cover his neck and grab one of the swords.

Slash, slash!

Bater frowned. He was being attacked from behind, and he knew he could kill Junhyuk if he could deliver just one blow. He decided on jabs instead of long swings because even if the jabs were light, Junhyuk would still die if hit by one.

Junhyuk knew that and had no intention of being hit. He teleported and quickly swung his sword. He attacked Bater's left leg three times and, when Bater attempted to punch again, he saw the fist approaching and dropped to the ground on his back. Bater's fist went past the back of his head, and Junhyuk got up and jammed the Blood Rune Sword into Bater's neck.

"Ugh!"

The blow was fatal, and the sword was stuck. Bater had lost all of his health because of the blow and was quickly disappearing.

Junhyuk pushed the sword a bit more and whispered, "This is revenge for Halo."

Bater fixed his eyes on him and opened his mouth, but Junhyuk wasn't interested in hearing him and pushed the sword horizontally. Bater was beheaded, and when his head rolled on the ground, Junhyuk stabbed it with his sword. The head was spiked on the sword and started disappearing.

At that moment, he calmed down, his fury appeased.

Junhyuk was getting up when Vera walked over to him and hugged him. He lifted his head, and she smiled at him.

"You... I told you not to steal the final blow."

"Sorry, I was very angry."

Vera patted his helmet and said, "Good! You carried out Halo's revenge." Then, she looked at the item Bater dropped and added, "Check it out yourself."

Junhyuk hadn't expected to kill Bater, and there was a shiny, silver chain on the ground that could be worn as a bracelet. Junhyuk picked it up.

---

Steel King Jax's Chain

Defense +30

Attack +10

Health +200

Jax, the Steel King, used to carry this chain. It was used as a bracelet, but was also a weapon. It increases defense by thirty and health by two hundred. It also increases the wearer's attack by ten.

---

It was an item that benefited tanks the most. It only had a small increase of ten to attack. The bracelet's effectiveness was in itself different from the other items. The advanced heroes carried these, and one cost at least 200,000G.

Junhyuk looked at it, put it on, and his eyes shot wide. His health increased by two hundred, and he could feel the life within him going up. It was a new experience for him.

Suddenly, Nudra frowned and said, "We should hurry."

Junhyuk turned around, and Diane also frowned and added, "We only have 150 minions."

"It's possible."

Junhyuk was curious about what they were talking about and asked, "What is the matter?"

"We have to destroy the enemy castle's gate."

Vera put her arms around Junhyuk's shoulder and added, "The bitch that didn't show up here, she sneaked by and destroyed one of our towers and advanced. The second tower was also crushed, and Artlan went to deal with her but got killed."

"Artlan?"

"That's right. He got killed by her ultimate."

Regina's ultimate was petrifaction. Even a hero like Artlan would die if he lost some health while under the effect of her power.

"Then, she might get all of the towers and destroy our castle's gate?"

"Halo is there. He will kill Regina and join us."

Junhyuk understood the precariousness of the situation and nodded. The enemies had gathered as four while the remaining one went to destroy the towers. They had attacked the allies' weaknesses, but Artlan had interfered with their plans.

Artlan had lost and died, but he had still slowed down her advance. So, before she destroyed the allied castle, they had to destroy the enemy castle first.

Halo would reincarnate, and he would be able to deal with Regina, who had already lost some health.

The group sped up. The enemy's castle didn't have heroes protecting it now, so they should be able to destroy it in a moment. On their way, they met the minions. When the enemy heroes started chasing them, they left the minions on the road. The minions didn't interfere in a fight among heroes and stayed safe.

"Follow me," Nudra shouted forcefully and stepped forward.

They arrived at the castle's gate. Two hundred enemy minions stood in front of the entrance, but the allies could deal with them. They didn't have any heroes backing them up.

Nudra pulled out a small marble and shouted, "Attack!"

As he shouted, the minions moved in like a massive incoming wave. Junhyuk stepped forward. The enemy riflemen were of a different armed branch from the allied minions, but Junhyuk advanced all the same, massacring the minions while the heroes sieged the gate.

Vera and Diane dealt with the archers while Nudra focused on the gate. Within five minutes, the allies had killed all of the minions and destroyed the gate. No enemy heroes showed up to give them any problems.

Junhyuk went inside the castle and saw two golems.

"Let's get the golems first," Nudra said once he saw them.

"Is that possible?"

Nudra nodded and looked at Vera. She readied her meteors, and while she prepared her magic, Diane nocked an arrow and aimed her bow.

Both of them were using their ultimates, and Junhyuk stood in front of them. The crazed minions went after the golems, but the golems made mashed potatoes out of them.

Vera cast her magic, and soon, meteors fell from the sky.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Even the giant golems couldn't ignore the damage inflicted by the meteors, and they were looking at Vera when Diane released her arrows. One arrow traveled through the air to hit a golem in the eye, sinking deeper than the others.

Nudra brandished his Dragon Gloves, and the dragon's aura covered him as he jumped. He kicked the golem coming at him, and Diane and Vera continued their attacks on the other golem.

Nudra dealt with one golem, and they were dealing with the other now. The second golem had been attacked by both ultimates, but had only lost half of his health.

It ran, and Junhyuk blocked its path. He thought golems were annoying and teleported atop of the golem and sank his Frozen Rune Sword into the eye that had already been punctured by Diane's arrow.

The golem tried to grab him, but Junhyuk teleported again and swung his swords. With Junhyuk's dual blades, Vera's fire magic and Diane's arrows, the golem finally crumbled.

Junhyuk sighed, but Sarang shouted, "The enemies are coming!"

The enemy heroes started appearing from the inner chambers of the castle.

"Retreat!" Nudra shouted.
