Legend of Legends

Elise’s massive beam pierced Aktur, who was left with very low health. The Perfect Evasion did not trigger.

“That’s why gambling is dangerous.”

The enemy heroes tried to shield Aktur, but it was the end for the enemy hero.

Junhyuk used his Spatial Collapse, and Aktur was sucked toward it and disappeared. So far, the Spatial Collapse had not failed against Aktur, so Junhyuk thought his power was special somehow. It would ignore Aktur’s Perfect Evasion, making it even more awesome.

While Aktur disappeared, the other enemy heroes got sucked toward the collapse as well.

Junhyuk, Layla, Gongon and Elise all attacked the remaining heroes.

“The robots have cores within them. Attack those, and you’ll land critical hits!”

The allied heroes used their attacks to look for the cores. The human heroes all had something similar, their weak spots. Trarune and Blinka both had cores inside their stomach, but the size of their cores was really small.

However, once the shell was torn open, the core was exposed. With their cores exposed, the allies attacked them easily. They were heroes, so their attacks could pierce through the eye of a needle if necessary.

The enemies were also heroes, so they could defend themselves.

The Spatial Collapse ended, and Trarune and Blinka started their retreat.

“You can’t run away!”

Junhyuk grabbed the entire allied team present and teleported behind the enemy heroes. Their path was blocked, so they couldn’t run away anymore.

Trarune and Blinka split and dodged his attacks. Blinka headed for the portal, and the allies attacked it. Blinka died, and Junhyuk’s force field finally disappeared.

It was four against one now. Trarune had managed to distance itself from them, but the allied heroes gave chase. Trarune was a tank, so it wasn’t very field. Its strengths were its defense and health, not its movement speed.

The allies attacked the robot, and Trarune used its ultimate. Junhyuk lost 8 percent of his health, and the enemy hero attacked the other allied heroes as well.

The robot aimed for Elise, who seemed to have the lowest defense of the group. Elise was wearing the Red Dragon set, and with it, her defense was on par with Layla’s. She got hit and lost 15 percent of her health, an enormous difference from Junhyuk.

Junhyuk attacked Trarune. The hero was sturdy, but with the combined attack of the four heroes, the tank died.

Junhyuk picked up the item Aktur had dropped. It was a bracelet with a buff to summoned creatures, which had buffed the enemy hero’s skeletons. It was a rare buff.

He looked at Elise and said, “Elise, this upgrades summoned creatures. Do you want it?”

She smiled and replied, “I want it for Zaira. Do you want to trade?”

Elise had picked up the item dropped by Trarune. She wanted to make an exchange, so Junhyuk nodded. Trarune’s item wouldn’t help him, but he was going to sell everything he picked up anyway, so he would probably make 20,000G from it.

It was more important to strengthen Elise.

Gongon yawned hard and asked, “What do we do now?”

“We push on.”

“What about the side paths?”

Junhyuk took a moment to think. The allies had lost one tower on the left and one on the right. The enemy heroes could push for the second towers from those paths. By taking the portals, they would be able to reach the second tower before the allies could reach the enemy castle.

The allies had to give up their tower.

Junhyuk turned to Elise and said, “Elise can buff us. We should push on.”

Since Elise was with them, Gongon asked, “What about her buff?”

“Elise, buff Gongon, please.”

She did so, and Gongon’s eyes widened. Junhyuk smiled at the hatchling and said, “We got lucky. The roaming buff monster I killed dropped a synthesis material. Elise absorbed it.”

“So cool!”

Gongon was shocked by Elise’s buff. If she absorbed more synthesis materials, she would get even stronger. In the future, she might even end up stronger than a dragon.

“Let’s push on. Sarang is not here, but we’ll be OK.”

“Yeah?”

Junhyuk thought about sending Sarang and Helen to protect the tower, but he didn’t really want to do that. The enemy heroes couldn’t stop the allied team now. Elise’s buff was just that strong.

Junhyuk contacted Sarang and told her to follow the middle road. He and the allied took that road forward, and after some thought, Junhyuk asked, “Should we kill all the buff monsters?”

“Why?”

“We might get more synthesis materials, making Elise even stronger.”

Gongon took a moment to think and said, “Can each one of us kill a buff monster by ourselves?”

“If you are talking roaming monsters, that would be hard, but the stationary buff monsters are easier.”

The allies had items superior to Artlan’s team in the past. Now, however, Artlan had new items as well, and he could kill buff monsters by himself as a result.

Gongon nodded and said, “OK. Let’s split up and hunt them. Even if we only get one synthesis item, it’ll be worth it.”

They could push on to finish the fight, but the allies would eventually face a different team, so it would be nice to have Elise’s buff as strong as it could be.

Junhyuk smiled and said, “Take the portal to kill the monsters and head back here. You know where the monsters are?”

Junhyuk wanted to kill the Ghost White Tiger. The Ghost White Tiger could stealth, but Junhyuk could sense the monster even then.

The allies moved out to hunt. It would take Sarang a while to join them, so while they waited, they would kill the buff monsters. Junhyuk went in search of the Ghost White Tiger. When he found the monster, he laughed.

He thought about when he was a minion. Now, he could hunt buff monsters by himself.

Junhyuk was getting stronger. Not only on the battlefield, but on Earth as well.

Artlan had told him that he was like a child wielding a sword, so he had to get stronger. The hidden ghost tigers rushed toward him.

Junhyuk swung Aksha’s Longsword, and the ghost tigers all died. The Ghost White Tiger become nervous and got ready to pounce.

Junhyuk could not see it, but he knew the Ghost White Tiger was scared.

He walked proudly toward it, and the Ghost White Tiger took slow steps back. Junhyuk ran toward it quickly, and the Ghost White Tiger lunged toward him. Instead of using his Spatial Slash, Junhyuk simply swung his sword.

Clang!

The Ghost White Tiger became visible, and Junhyuk pierced its neck with Dentra’s Magic Sword.

The Ghost White Tiger tried to respond to the attack, but the sword had already gone through it. The Ghost White Tiger died from that single it. It was a critical hit, and the Ghost White Tiger was unable to withstand the damage.

Junhyuk was buffed. He paid close attention to see if the Ghost White Tiger had dropped an item, but it had not.

“It’s probably impossible to get two drops of synthesis materials.”

Junhyuk reminded himself that he should ask for synthesis materials the next time he went to see Bebe.

Previously, he hadn’t had enough gold, but now, he would easily invest the 50,000G to upgrade Elise’s buff.

Junhyuk headed back to the middle. When he got there, he saw that the allies were back. They had each killed a buff monster, and all had different-colored rings under their feet.

“Did anyone find anything?”

Everyone shook their heads, so Junhyuk clicked his tongue.

“Too bad. We should hunt more often from now on. Let’s move.”

They hadn’t found the enemy heroes, which meant that the enemy heroes had given up the middle path. The enemy heroes could reach the towers at about the same time the allies reached the castle if they use the portals, but the allies had wasted time with the monsters.

“We’ll have to move faster.”

The speed buff would run out while the allies headed down the mountain, but they would move faster while it was active. Junhyuk could also teleport with the allied heroes.

He thought about leaving Sarang and pushing for the enemy castle.

“We should move as fast as we can. We can also teleport.”

Before the watchtowers were destroyed, the allied heroes wanted to reach the castle. That was the goal, and they took off in a hurry.
