Legend of Legends

Chapter 564: Semifinal 2

The powers Junhyuk knew Adolphe had were the rush, the ten-meter sword strike, and the ensnaring ring. Kilraden could teleport three times, though for only a short distance, counter and stealth. Kilraden’s ultimate created a copy of himself that dealt an absurd amount of damage.

Junhyuk ran toward the enemy heroes. He was buffed, so he didn’t think he would lose against them. The enemies had probably upgraded their weapons, but Junhyuk had legendary weapons that had been upgraded to +13.

Junhyuk was curious about the upgrades the enemy heroes had done, and he was curious about how his defense would fare against them.

The enemy heroes had made it to the semis, so he was thinking he shouldn’t let himself get hit.

When Kilraden was within range, Junhyuk used his Dimensional Slash. It sliced through Kilraden’s back.

Slash!

Previously, Junhyuk would’ve been able to kill Kilraden with a single hit, but now, the hero lost only 65 percent of his health.

Junhyuk had pulled off three upgrades to his weapons before the start of this battle, which meant that Kilraden’s defense was much stronger now than in the past.

“Step aside!” someone shouted from behind him, and Junhyuk did so. Elise shot off her ultimate. It was a long range attack, and the gigantic beam slammed against Kilraden.

The hero tried to escape, but the beam was faster than him, piercing the enemy assassin, who faded away.

Junhyuk smiled when Kilraden died. The allies would continue to push forward.

When Adolphe came within range of the Spatial Collapse, Junhyuk triggered it.

Craaaaack!

Adolphe got pulled by the void. The enemy hero was focused on both tanking and dealing damage, so compared to Kilraden’s, Adolphe’s defense was superior.

The Spatial Collapse dealt 10 percent more damage than the Dimensional Slash, but Adolphe only lost 44 percent of his health.

Junhyuk had used two powers already. Meanwhile, Adolphe was closing in fast, and there was nothing he could do about it. He had to fight Adolphe in single combat.

Zaira zoomed out, blocking Adolphe’s advance.

The hero scoffed at Zaira and swung his saw-bladed sword at her.

Clang, clang, clang!

He didn’t use any of his powers, but Zaira’s gauntlet was shattered. Adolphe’s attack stat had increased. At the same time, Elise shot at him with Moon Core.

Adolphe blocked the beams with his sword and pushed ahead. When Junhyuk was finally within range, Adolphe rushed. Not wanting to be stunned, Junhyuk teleported.

Adolphe missed him and slammed his saw-bladed sword into the ground. Two energy rings flew toward Junhyuk, and he teleported again.

Adolphe gritted his teeth and shouted, “You are cheating!” action

After saying that, the enemy hero ran toward Elise. Adolphe was thinking that Elise would be an easier opponent, but she had upgraded all of her items to +12 this time around. Her defense was higher than Junhyuk’s now.

Elise had been luckier than Junhyuk in her upgrades.

Adolphe slashed Elise once, but she attacked him as well. She was countering his moves, but Adolphe could dodge her attacks.

Adolphe had one last power and his ultimate, and right as his sword was about to come down on Elise, Junhyuk raised his force field around her. The force field blocked the sword in the nick of time.

Junhyuk ran toward Adolphe, who ran toward him as well.

Junhyuk wanted to fight Adolphe alone. The hero had already been damaged by the Spatial Collapse, and Elise had managed to damage him as well.

Junhyuk wanted to get hit by Adolphe’s ultimate now that Adolphe was fighting at full strength.

Clang, clang, clang!

Adolphe had attacked Elise with regular attacks, but he had slowly lost health in the exchange. She had dealt 2 percent of damage to him with each hit, and the damage had mounted.

Adolphe had only 43 percent of his health left.

Junhyuk attacked. Adolphe enlarged his sword, and that moment, Junhyuk was reminded of Halo.

Junhyuk had sparred with Halo, who used a very long sword, so he managed to find an opening in Adolphe’s attack and succeeded in landing a counter. He dealt 6 percent of damage to Adolphe, which told him that winning this round wouldn’t be easy.

The upgrade to his weapons had increased their attack stats by 72 percent, but Adolphe was only receiving a little bit of damage. That meant that Adolphe was a strong tank.

From the exchange, Junhyuk knew his weapons weren’t any better than the enemy’s weapon, so he had to focus on his skills. He was waiting for Adolphe’s ultimate.

Junhyuk attacked again, and Adolphe’s expression hardened. The hero used his last power then. Adolphe disappeared, and the saw-bladed sword pierced through Junhyuk’s chest. Junhyuk responded immediately, but Adolphe disappeared again, slashing Junhyuk’s back. Junhyuk reacted again, but Adolphe sliced his thigh.

Junhyuk was wielding both of his swords, but Adolphe stabbed him in the stomach again and escaped.

It seemed as though all restrictions on Adolphe had disappeared. Adolphe was moving at a speed that Junhyuk couldn’t follow with his eyes. Junhyuk had lost 32 percent of his health in no time.

Junhyuk’s defensive items were powerful, so the damage he received wasn’t that high.

Junhyuk slashed at Adolphe, but the hero didn’t dodge, blocking instead.

Junhyuk struck Adolphe, and the enemy hero attacked him a few more times. However, Adolphe was not Halo. Junhyuk’s skills had gone tremendously from sparring with Artlan, and none of Adolphe’s regular attacks landed.

Finally, Adolphe fell. Junhyuk inspected the item the enemy hero dropped. It was a wristguard.

Looking at the stats, Junhyuk saw that Adolphe had upgraded it ten times. That made sense with how strong Adolphe’s defense was.

Junhyuk thought the item would fetch a good price.

When Elise picked up the item Kilraden had dropped, she said, “This has been upgraded a lot. I should give it to someone in our team.”

“That’s a good idea.”

Elise nodded and started attacking the enemy minions. The enemy minions had dealt a heavy blow to the allied minions with their absurd movement speed and hovering ability.

However, the allied minions were winning thanks to Eunseo. She had kicked many enemy minions into oblivion.

Junhyuk joined the fight, and the enemy minions quickly disappeared. The allies destroyed the enemy watchtower, and the three went into the buff tower. There, Eunseo said, “I can’t deal any damage to the enemy heroes, so I should fight with the minions.”

The minions were a big part of the battle now. They were useful in destroying buildings and golems. If Eunseo joined them, they would be better off.

Eunseo was an expert, and her health and damage were outstanding by comparison. Her items looked weak, but against minions, she was overpowered. She should fight with the allied minions.

Eunseo was agreeing with their tactics with that proposition. She knew she shouldn’t get in the way of the heroes’ fights.

Junhyuk contacted the others and said, “I met Kilraden and Adolphe. Kraken should be heading left. Did you come up against him, Gongon?”

“Octopus head is coming this way?”

“Probably.”

Junhyuk turned to Sarang and Layla and said, “I don’t know who their sniper is.”

“We’ll be careful. What were they like?”

“This is the semis, so both their defense and attack stats were high.”

“Of course. What are you going to do now?”

“We’ll hunt buff monsters.”

“Sure.”

There wasn’t enough time to give support to any of the sides, so Junhyuk was going to try to upgrade Elise’s power. He wanted to get more synthesis materials for her.

Junhyuk and Elise went their separate ways to hunt. Junhyuk killed one of the buff monsters, but it didn’t drop a synthesis material. After that, Gongon contacted him.

“I killed him!”

“Did you go up against Kraken?”

“That’s right! He was sooo dense!”

“And you killed him?”

“I have Helen, and my weapon has received a massive upgrade.”

Junhyuk agreed with that. Gongon had succeeded in getting his weapon to +20. Now, it was shining in rainbow colors. On top of that, Gongon had boosted his piercing stat.

“Was Kraken alone?”

“No. He was with a champion. The champion can encase you in a prison, but a single headbutt was enough for a kill.”

The enemy team had a champion with them, one with a restraining power, but the champion had not survived Gongon’s headbutt.

Kraken was extremely dense, but Gongon had managed to kill him.

If the allies could kill the enemy tank, they could win with ease. After that, Junhyuk contacted Sarang and Layla, but the two told him they would contact him later.

He headed back for the buff tower. Sarang and Layla had to be in a fierce battle.

“It feels like there’s no telling what will happen.”

Junhyuk was Kilraden’s worst enemy. The hero’s stealth power didn’t work on him. However, Kilraden was deadly to all of the other allies.

Gongon could cut through Kraken’s defense, but Kraken’s ultimate was very powerful, and they would have to watch out for it during team battles.

“We can’t lose the buff tower.”

The buff tower buffed attack. Junhyuk was starting to think the round would be a headache to win.
