Chapter 133: Close Call 2
Translator: - - Editor: - -
Artlan jumped, and Halo used Lightning Flash. They attacked Bater and Regina, and both of them appeared suddenly. Doctor Tula rushed toward them firing the flamethrower. Huge flames engulfed them, but Doctor Tula suddenly felt a prick on his neck, and his eyes shot wide.
He started bleeding, and half of his neck was sliced off. He had already been hit twice on the neck by Junhyuk's Spatial Slash and, finally, he died.
Junhyuk watched the doctor die and smiled. He had finally killed a hero, and while he died, a shockwave shot out of his body, sweeping through Regina and Bater. Both were being attacked by Artlan and Halo and lost their footing. Meanwhile, Artlan and Halo got in position.
They stood in front of the golem, and Regina and Bater looked at each other. They knew how hard it would be to deal with two heroes alongside a golem. Bater looked into Regina's eyes and nodded. They were both looking at Adolphe using his power, the ten-meter sword energy.
Adolphe's attack dealt significant damage, and neither Artlan nor Halo wanted to be hit by it, so they dispersed to the left and to the right. Bater took advantage of the empty space to rush, but Junhyuk knew where he was headed. When they destroyed the gate and started fighting, Junhyuk's cooldown had already ended.
An ivory color surrounded him and stopped Bater in his tracks, and he puffed out some smoke.
"This time, we failed," he said.
For the next ten seconds Junhyuk didn't engage in any fighting. He knew how hard it was to deal with heroes without his Spatial Slash, so he stepped back slowly. Regina watched him and frowned, but there was nothing she could do about it. Junhyuk moved back ever so slowly until he got inside the castle's force field.
He looked at the heroes and said with some confidence, "Next time we meet, I will be a champion."
As he said that, Artlan and Halo rushed toward the enemy heroes. Adolphe stabbed the ground with his sword, and two blue-energy projectiles launched out of it, tying them up in place. Bater one-two comboed the golem's leg, and when the golem fell over, Regina fired at its head.
Boom!
The golem's head was smashed into little pieces, and it was unable to continue functioning. Bater jumped, heading to the castle's force field, and started punching the castle as hard as he could.
Thunk!
The force field shone blue and stopped Bater's fists. Artlan ran up behind him and swung his saber, slashing him. However, Bater ignored the saber while continuing to pound the force field. Regina dashed to the force field and slashed it with her cutlass while firing her pistol at it.
It was as if they were attacking Junhyuk himself, and he frowned. The heroes were wounded and tired. Regina, who was bleeding from her neck, was specially so.
Halo swung his sword at Regina, dealing further damage. Both were about to collapse, but they continued to attack. Junhyuk could understand what they had in mind. They knew they couldn't kill Junhyuk or kill Artlan or Halo. Adolphe helped out in killing the golem, but both Artlan and Halo were at full health. If Doctor Tula were still alive, they'd have gone after the two heroes. Their own castle's force field was already under attack, so they wanted to increase their chances of winning by destroying the allied castle's force field.
Bater, Regina and Adolphe had the superior attack power as a group, but the castle's force field wasn't easy to destroy, and they were still being attacked by Artlan and Halo. Regina was bleeding heavily from her back and turned around, firing her pistol. The shot had the power to push Artlan and Halo back.
Bater kept punching the force field as hard as he could.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three shockwaves appeared from his blows and pushed Artlan and Halo further back. Junhyuk watched the whole thing speechless. They wanted to destroy the force field while under attack from Artlan and Halo.
Junhyuk gripped his swords tightly. If he stepped out, they would go after him instead of the force field. If he stayed, they would continue to plow through the force field. Their actions hadn't made sense at all at the beginning, but now they made all the sense in the world.
Junhyuk gulped and teleported. Doctor Tula had dropped his glasses when he died, and Junhyuk picked them up and saw Regina and Bater heading toward him. Adolphe also rushed at him, and he just watched them. He had done everything he could.
If he stood up to Adolphe, he would get killed. He was about to teleport when Halo showed up like a comet and slashed through Adolphe's waist. The cut was deep, and Artlan appeared out of nowhere and stabbed Adolphe's forehead. Adolphe didn't have enough health to survive the heroes' ultimates and disappeared. Junhyuk thought he had made the right decision not to use his teleportation.
Bater and Regina both stared at Junhyuk, but did not stop hitting the force field as they approached. Junhyuk knew why. They both knew the maximum distance of his teleportation. Suddenly, Regina and Bater rushed at him at the same time.
They closed in on Junhyuk, and he smiled. He had surely bought more time for the team. Junhyuk ran toward the both of them. He wanted to pass them by, but Bater got so close that he punched out at him, but Junhyuk teleported before getting hit.
He was now in front of the force field, just a step away from it. He leaned forward to walk, and a bullet headed for his back.
Bang!
When Bater rushed, Regina knew that Junhyuk would teleport. She had pretended to boost her speed to chase him, but she quickly turned around and positioned herself so that she could shoot at him.
Junhyuk teleported, but he wasn't quite inside of the force field. He had drawn them out by taking a few steps back, distancing himself further from the force field and digging his own grave.
The bullet went through his back, but he fell forward hard. His armor had shattered where the bullet hit, but he was still alive. It was probably because of the item he had picked up from Regina. His health had increased.
Another bullet bounced off the force field, and all he could feel was fear at that moment. He had made it inside the force field. If he hadn't, he would've been killed.
He had been defenseless when he got shot in the back.
Junhyuk turned around, and Regina clicked her tongue. Suddenly, Artlan slashed her, but Regina boosted her speed to run away from him. Bater watched the whole thing, and he too ran away. Artlan and Halo chased after them.
They ran. They knew they had lost time by going after Junhyuk and they had lost the fight. Even though they lost, they didn't feel like they should die, so they ran in order to preserve their lives. Artlan and Halo also used their full strength to chase after them.
Regina would die with the next attack. She had been wounded by the Spatial Slash, and Halo had sliced her back many times. They were bleeding out and retreating, and Junhyuk sighed and looked at the glasses in his hand.
---
Doctor Tula's Glasses
Defense +20
Eyesight +50
Passive: Observation
The crazy, lunatic Doctor Tula made these glasses. They have been recognized as an item in the Dimensional Battlefield. It increases defense by twenty and eyesight by fifty. It also has a passive ability.
Observation: It describes the health and mana of the opponent in percentages. If the opponent's rank is below yours, it also tells you their precise health numbers.
---
Junhyuk liked the passive ability. He had never seen anything like it. When he fought heroes, he didn't know how much health they had left. He just guessed he had hurt them, but Doctor Tula had been aware of exact percentages.
Junhyuk wanted to wear them, but he couldn't because of his helmet. He also couldn't take it off at that moment, but he stared at the glasses and smiled. They added twenty to defense. He could wear them in South Korea and he didn't even have to engrave them.
Junhyuk looked outside. The force field had disappeared.
Nobody was attacking them, which meant only one thing: the enemy castle had fallen.
"Sarang, did we win?" Junhyuk asked the Kasha.
"The force field is gone. Did you survive?" it replied.
"Sure."
Sarang felt relieved. Junhyuk looked far away toward the North. Since the previous battlefield, they had fought separately in the last fights.
"You survived. That's good."
"What's good?"
Junhyuk had heard an unexpected voice. Vera was standing right there.
"You died?"
"Who died? Me?"
Vera walked toward him and gave him a blue gem the size of his hand. Junhyuk looked at her, and she smiled brightly.
"The Dragon's Valley had some useful gems like this mana stone. I wanted to give it to you."
"What about the castle's force field?"
"It was already almost destroyed."
Junhyuk was dumbstruck and just stared at her. Bater and Regina had risked their lives hitting the force field on his side. Seconds could have decided the victors, but Vera wanted to give him the mana stone.
What if we'd lost?
"Thank you," Junhyuk said.
They had already won, and he didn't want to complain. If he did, he would get her fist. He was a champion, but he couldn't beat Vera yet.
She caressed his hair and said, "You fought hard. If you didn't give us time, we'd have lost."
"It's good to win."
Vera looked at the Dimensional Battlefield and said, "I'll see you next time."
"Yes, I will be champion then."
"Right, you are our champion."
Junhyuk smiled at her. She had called him a champion, and he felt very proud. Champions had four lives, and he now had his Spatial Slash. He would be even more brazen in the next battlefield.
Adolphe always picked up items, so he should do the same, even if he died. He even had his teleport to help him pick them up.
The world around him started disappearing, and he closed his eyes.
