Chapter 404: Sweeping Victory 1

Abel wanted to upgrade his weapon, which made Junhyuk frown at him. Upgrades were a type of gamble. The success rate started at 50 percent, but Abel had upgraded his weapon quite a bit, so Junhyuk didn’t know if his success rate was lower.

The hero was shuffling his cards diligently. He probably thought he got his luck from them.

Junhyuk walked over to him and asked, “Wouldn’t it be better not to go through with it?”

“Wait a minute.” Abel pulled a card from the deck and smiled, saying, “OK! Today, I’m really lucky!”

Abel immediately started the upgrade process. Junhyuk wanted to stop him, but Abel had already gone through with it. Nervous, Junhyuk stared at Abel. A moment passed, and Abel screamed.

“This doesn’t make any sense! I’m supposed to be lucky today, but the upgrade failed!”

Junhyuk sighed and asked, “How many upgrades did you lose?”

“It’s back at +13! Holy shit!”

Abel’s weapon had dropped three levels. After Junhyuk learned how much of a gambler Abel was, he decided to give up on keeping the hero on his team.

Abel bought some alcohol from Bebe and drank it, sighing heavily as he did. He would be drunk in their future fight.

Gongon was picking up a few items, and Junhyuk was curious about when Gongon had had the chance to make more money. He thought Gongon was very impressive. After Gongon finished his business and walked back, Junhyuk said calmly, “Now, it’s time to win.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Looking at them, he said, “Right now, we have about 224 minions if we include Gongon’s. We can attack the castle with that, and as far as team battles go, we’ll have the advantage.”

Everyone nodded, and Junhyuk looked at Abel, who was still drinking.

“Let’s move out.”

The allies headed off through the middle path. Even if the enemy had already passed by them, the allies would still have the advantage. They would reach the the enemy castle first, and the enemies would have to return. If the enemies didn’t, they would lose.

They picked up the pace. The group walked with the minions. Meanwhile, Elise was busy chatting with Gongon. They talked while Sarang carried Gongon.

Junhyuk had taken the language pill, like everyone else, but he could not understand the conversation between the two. Shaking his head, he focused on the path ahead.

They reached the enemy castle, but they didn’t see any enemy heroes. There were a hundred enemy minions in front of the castle, but no heroes. Junhyuk looked around and shook his head.

“Where did they all go?”

They couldn’t see anyone but minions, so Junhyuk was suspicious of the situation. He looked back, and Gongon said, “Let’s destroy the castle before they come back.”

Junhyuk shrugged and replied, “Sure... attack!”

Gongon shouted, “Attack! We have the advantage!”

The allied minions ran forward. They had their shields in front of them, so their defense looked great. Those who had gotten used to battling moved ahead. Without enemy heroes, it would be easy to kill the enemy minions.

Junhyuk ran forward and noticed that the enemy minions had opened a path. It was a strange-looking path. Then, he realized what it was. However, the minions clashed against each other, and an enemy hero rushed forward from between them.

When Junhyuk saw which hero it was, it was already too late. The mantis appeared and slashed Layla. She had joined the fray with the allied minions and was attacking enemy minions. The strike was a critical hit.

Layla’s neck started bleeding, and six projectiles flew at her. She tried to block, but she was hit before she could get in position.

The mantis moved behind Layla, and the rest of the enemies focused their attacks on her.

At that moment, Junhyuk raised the force field around her. All of the allies entered the force field, and their enemies bounced off of the field.

Layla had lost 40 percent of her health.

The mantis’ first attack had been a critical, and she had been attacked two more times. From within the force field, Junhyuk looked at the enemies. They had to have killed the Ghost White Tiger and received invisibility buffs.

The allies hadn’t been able to see them. While Layla had been fighting the minions, the mantis rushed, and the long range heroes attacked her from afar.

With the invisibility buff, they had tried to get rid of one hero before a full team battle. Junhyuk laughed at that. The enemy plan hadn’t been bad. Without his force field, they would’ve pulled it off.

On top of that, the enemies had archers on the wall, so they were ready for battle.

Junhyuk clicked his tongue. It seemed like his enemies didn’t know much about his abilities. His allies had been in danger, so he had simply raised the force field. However, even if he hadn’t been there, the allies could’ve won.

Sarang was healing Layla at the moment, and he looked out at the battlefield. The mantis remained by the force field, and the spider and a hog-headed hero were moving forward to join him.

The porcupine and the scorpion had remained behind.

Junhyuk used his Spatial slash to attack the porcupine. He had already seen the porcupine’s ability, and he didn’t need to see more.

The porcupine disappeared, and the scorpion was hurt as well. Bolts of lightning crashed on the mantis.

The mantis didn’t die right away, but Gongon enlarged and breathed fire, killing the hero.

Layla focused on the enemy with the pig’s head.

The enemies at the front could be taken care of by the other allies, so Junhyuk teleported. The scorpion was running toward him, and as he appeared, Junhyuk stabbed the scorpion’s head with his sword.

It was a critical hit, and the scorpion faded away. Junhyuk turned back. After the Thunderstorm and the firebreath, the enemies that were left looked haggard. Gongon, Layla and Abel attacked the spider, who died quickly after.

Junhyuk teleported back to the force field. While killing the scorpion, he had been attacked by archers, so he had wanted to find safety.

He appeared where the hog-headed enemy was being attacked and stabbed the hero through the back. The pig was a tank, so Junhyuk could only deal 12 percent of damage to him with a regular attack. On top of that, the pig had just barely dodged a critical hit. The hero seemed more capable than the others.

However, only he remained. On top of that, he had already been hit by a Thunderstorm and a firebreath, so the pig only had 45 percent of his health left.

The pig-headed hero swung his hammer, but Junhyuk blocked it. However, he was pushed away. When he crashed on the ground, the enemy minions swarmed him like bees.

Junhyuk swung wide, killing many of them.

Layla attacked the pig with her katana. She used her eight-strike combo, and Sarang shot an electric blast at him.

The electric blast paralyzed the pig, and Gongon kicked the hero’s head. It was a critical hit, and the pig-headed hero died.

All five heroes were dead. Junhyuk had gotten out of the archers’ range, and before the force field disappeared, the others did the same.

They had had to do that because with the enemy heroes on the field, the archers had been buffed. So, they would wait out the buff and attack again.

The allies had more minions, and once they joined their minions, the enemy minions were massacred. After that, the allies destroyed the gate. They picked up the items their enemies had dropped and crossed the threshold.

Looking back, Junhyuk said, “This isn’t bad.”

The five of them had been buffed with the invisibility buff, and they had set up a strategic defense. The outcome hadn’t been bad.

Junhyuk looked at the group. They had killed their enemies after their enemies had had a chance to prepare. Now, with the invisibility buff themselves, Junhyuk looked at the golems and noticed that they seemed different while he was invisible.

Both giant golems had huge eyes in the middle of their foreheads. They could see the allies despite them being invisible.

The enemy heroes hadn’t revived yet, but there were minions standing in front of the golem. On top of that, the heroes would revive soon.

Junhyuk shouted, “Attack!”

The minions raised their shields and ran forward. They were experienced now and filled with confidence. To destroy a golem, however, at least one hero would have to join them.

The giant golems were the enemies’ most powerful card. Once the allies killed one of the golems, the flow of the battle would turn completely in their favor.

Junhyuk ran forward. As he did, their enemies started appearing from within the castle’s force field. Junhyuk ignored that and stepped on the minions shoulders, bypassing them and running toward the golem.

The golem swung its palm at him, but Junhyuk simply slid forward on his knees with his back close to the ground. The golem’s palm passed right by where he had been standing.

As the violent attack passed him by, Junhyuk slashed the minions ahead and closed in on the golem. He slashed the golem’s leg, which splintered from the impact.

The porcupine hero showed up first. Junhyuk tried to hit him with another Spatial Slash, but the hero rolled himself into a ball.

The porcupine had never had a chance to use his powers properly, so he was doing it now.

Still in a ball, all of the spikes on the porcupine pointed out. The spikes shot out at Junhyuk, who quickly wondered if he should raise the force field. However, that thought didn’t last long. Once the other enemies revived, he would need his force field. Instead, he teleported away, escaping the spikes.

Junhyuk appeared on the golem’s head. He struck down hard against it with his sword, and the golem’s head cracked.

Boom!

At that moment, the other enemy heroes appeared.

“They have the makings of heroes.”
