Legend of Legends

Chapter 418: New Weapon 1

Junhyuk had checked out Rodrey’s powers. He didn’t know everything about their enemies’ powers, but he knew that the buff tower was vulnerable, so he turned to Rodrey and said, “The right path is a better fit for Layla than for me.”

“Layla? The woman with the katana?”

Junhyuk nodded, and shaking his head, Rodrey asked, “What should I do?”

“Stay close to the watchtower. What’s your attack range?”

“Thirty-five meters. It seems my throws are limited here. This place must have some hidden supernatural power.”

Thirty-five meters was a long distance for anybody. Junhyuk had only met one other person with a longer range. He turned to where Penslin had fallen and shook his head. Penslin was capable of attacking from fifty meters away.

Junhyuk hadn’t measured the range of Penslin’s regular attack, but as a long range sniper, Penslin was deadly.

“You’ll do fine.”

“Thanks.”

After hearing Rodrey’s answer, he started heading to the middle path. On the way, he called Layla and asked her to take over the right path. He had planned on heading to the buff tower first, but Junhyuk changed directions and went to seek out the Queen Harpy.

Whenever possible, fighting buffed was better. The Harpy Queen’s buff triggered an extra attack. With it, his future fight would be easier.

The Queen Harpy could fly, so it was a difficult opponent. However, Junhyuk had a few strategies for dealing with it by that point, so he easily killed the Queen Harpy.

Now, he had received both the monster buff and the buff from the central tower. Junhyuk reached the buff tower with a stack of two buffs, and because the tower buffed speed, he got there before the enemy heroes.

When Sarang saw him, she smiled brightly.

“Welcome!”

“I thought Layla might not be a good fit here, so I came to help.”

Junhyuk’s defense was greater than Layla’s, and the enemy might have piercing attacks. He had some legendary items, and his equipment was overall better than Layla’s. On top of that, he had the force field.

Junhyuk asked Sarang, “What are the enemies like?”

“Epilen is the assassin. He has a grab and teleport power and a stealth power. He also has a stun. His ultimate killed Layla. With it, he can fade into darkness.”

Junhyuk wasn’t worried about the stealth power, but the fact that Epilen had a grab meant that he could use it any time he got close.

Sarang continued, “Dolorac is a mage with a staff made of bones. He can imprison enemies and surround himself in bone armor to increase his defense. He also has a soul attack that deals massive damage over a certain path.”

“You know their names?”

“Layla asked, and they told her.”

“What about the champion.”

Sarang took a moment to think and replied, “The champion was different. She’s undead, but she can transform into a horse, a bear or a wolf.”

“Is that the extent of it?”

“Not really. After she transforms, she gains different abilities.”

“So, the champion is powerful.”

Junhyuk imagined what the enemies would be like, and soon, they appeared. They were taking the middle path again. He could tell who they were by looking at them. The one with the robe and the long staff was Dolorac. The one hunched over and missing his lower jaw was Epilen, also an undead. Lastly, was the undead with the long blonde hair. She had to be the champion.

She was capable of transforming, and Junhyuk felt he had to watch out for her.

The enemies were moving with a hundred minions. Junhyuk looked back and saw that Sarang only had thirty-five left with her. The previous battle had decreased their numbers significantly.

Junhyuk hadn’t brought any minions with him, so the allies would have fewer minions in the coming battle. On top of that, the enemies had a champion.

He looked at Sarang and asked, “Did you use your ring’s power?”

She nodded.

“Without it, I would’ve been killed even with the ultimate.”

“The situation doesn’t sound very good.”

Junhyuk watched as the enemies approached slowly. The heroes he had killed had to have revived, so the others must know about his powers as well.

Junhyuk took off. Even if the enemies knew about his powers, he would use the Spatial Slash and Spatial Collapse to kill them.

The two heroes had to be powerful. Layla carried two legendary items, but she didn’t have much in defense. Nevertheless, that the enemies had been able to kill her meant that their attacks were powerful enough to do it. action

When Junhyuk moved forward, Sarang followed him with the allied minions. The enemies hesitated when they saw him.

Epilen, who was staring at him approaching, suddenly disappeared. Junhyuk could sense Epilen heading toward him under stealth, and he chuckled at the hero. A stealth power would have appeared in the battlefield sooner or later.

Junhyuk knew that Epilen could get closer under stealth, but his Spatial Slash’s range was greater than the power’s distance. He could sense that Epilen was within range, but he ignored the hero and kept moving forward. When that happened, Epilen felt confident enough to speed up toward Junhyuk.

When he could sense that Epilen was within range of the Spatial Collapse, Junhyuk used it.

The sudden attack brought Epilen out of stealth. The hero was sucked into the tear and lost 50 percent of his health in the process. Then, Junhyuk used his Spatial Slash on the enemy.

Junhyuk didn’t aim for Epilen’s neck. Instead, he aimed for the hero’s heart. Even then, the attack wasn’t a critical hit. Epilen lost 45 percent of his health, but he didn’t die.

With 5 percent of his health left, Epilen retreated quickly. The other hero and the champion stepped forward. The two ran toward Junhyuk, who teleported to chase after Epilen.

Junhyuk closed in against the assassin, but Epilen disappeared. Junhyuk felt a shock against his back, and he lost 17 percent of his health.

Either Epilen had an item that buffed piercing or a power that did that. After losing the health, Junhyuk turned around while swinging his sword, but an electric arrow slammed against Epilen faster than he could, killing the enemy hero.

Junhyuk turned to focus on Dolorac. He still had one teleportation left, so he was confident that he could take the hero on.

Dolorac extended his staff, and suddenly, a sphere made out of bones shot toward him, but Junhyuk teleported again. He appeared swinging his sword, so Dolorac equipped himself with the bone armor and blocked the attack.

The bone armor took the brunt of the attack, and Dolorac only received 2 percent of damage. If Junhyuk wanted to find out how much damage he could really deal Dolorac, he would first have to strip the mage of his bone armor.

Junhyuk swung faster, and the bone armor blocked his attacks a total of three times before disappearing. Dolorac had only lost 6 percent of his health. When Junhyuk was about to attack again, the champion joined the fight. She transformed into a wolf and bit his leg.

Junhyuk felt a sharp pain run through his body, and he knew he was stunned. It was total paralysis.

He couldn’t moved, and Dolorac aimed the staff at him. Suddenly, a raging soul flew toward him. It went through his body, passing him, and covered Sarang, who was behind him.

Junhyuk lost 15 percent of his health, and so did Sarang.

“It can decrease max health?!”

Junhyuk knew powers like that existed. However, it affected not just one person, but two. He was astonished, and Sarang used her Thunderstorm on Dolorac.

The mage lost 40 percent of his health in one go.

The Thunderstorm could’ve been a critical hit, or Dolorac could have shoddy magic defense. Junhyuk couldn’t tell.

He closed in on Dolorac, but the champion transformed into a bear and blocked his path. Junhyuk slashed the bear with his sword, and the champion lost 50 percent of her health.

Her items must not be great, but she still didn’t die with that single hit.

Junhyuk kicked the champion aside and tried to attack Dolorac, but the mage extended his staff and encased Junhyuk in a bone prison.

Inside, Junhyuk frowned and raised his force field. The bone prison was shattered by the force field, and Junhyuk pressed forward. Two electric blasts flew in from behind him and hit Dolorac and the champion. Both were paralyzed.

Junhyuk slammed his sword down hard against Dolorac’s head instead of attacking the hero’s neck. He knew undead bodies were strong and he was trying to attack every part he could to find out which one was the weakest so that he could deliver critical hits again.

Boom!

He hadn’t been able to deal a critical hit up to that point, but with the headstrike, he was able to. Doloract lost 20 percent of his health, and Junhyuk swung his sword again and again.

Dolorac’s weakness was close combat, so finally, Junhyuk smashed Dolorac’s head. When he turned around, he watched as the champion was hit by an electric arrow and fell. Sarang sighed, relieved, and extended her hand toward him.

Light green powder sprinkled over him, and he regained his health. He even regained the damage to his max health.

Looking at her, he said, “Let’s kill the minions first.”

Junhyuk’s shockwaves didn’t work against the minions, but he and Sarang could kill them with a snap of their fingers. After they had massacred the enemy minions, he looked at her and said, “Let’s pick up the items.”

They picked up their items, and Junhyuk scowled when he inspected his.

“This one also has a dark attack buff.”

They all had buffs to dark attack.

“They are all undead.”

Junhyuk nodded and said, “I can easily kill Epilen, even if he has stealth. But, he may be a problem to our allies.”

Junhyuk had lost 17 percent of his health with Epilen’s attack. Gongon would be fine, but the others would be seriously hurt. Sarang and Rodrey had low defense stats, so they might even die from a single hit.

Epilen reminded Junhyuk of Kilraden, but he hadn’t seen Epilen’s ultimate, so he didn’t know everything about the hero yet.

Junhyuk turned to Sarang and said, “Gongon and Elise have taken a watchtower. We should let them be. However, we can’t push middle since we don’t have enough minions.”

After some thought, Sarang replied, “We still have the speed buff, so we should go to Bebe.”

“Right. I’ll tell Gongon to come as well.”
