Legend of Legends - Chapter 330

Chapter 330: Blood Battle 1

Sarang did not want to leave Gongon, but Junhyuk had the power to protect and fight, so she went to the lower path with him.

Now that Junhyuk knew the victory reward, he did not want to lose. He was only thinking about how they should prepare for an enemy surprise attack until he got to the bottom tower, where he spotted an enemy.

Kraken wasn’t with Nid this time. Nid was alone, and so Junhyuk communicated that to Gongon.

“Gon, it seems like two went in your direction.”

“Only the octopus head is here.”

Kilraden was nowhere to be found. He was the bothersome enemy, and they had no idea where he was. Scowling, Junhyuk told Sarang, “Kilraden isn’t showing up anywhere. Be careful.”

“Sure.”

Kilraden couldn’t be ignored, even when they were extra careful. In his case, if the champion used both of his powers at the same time, he would kill Sarang. So, she had to be on high alert.

The good thing was that if Junhyuk and Sarang comboed their attacks, they would kill Kilraden immediately. Nid had to be angry since he didn’t have a chance to fight last time, dying easily most times. Maybe because of that experience, Nid was standing next to the watchtower.

Junhyuk looked at Sarang and said, “Let’s kill Nid first.”

He thought it would be easy to kill Nid and ran toward the champion. Nid saw him running forward and slowly stepped back.

He had to be thinking of the range of the watchtower’s archers, and Junhyuk scoffed at that, running even faster. Junhyuk ran as fast as he could, distancing himself from Sarang.

That’s when Kilraden appeared behind her without making any sound.

Junhyuk used the Spatial Slash on Nid, and at the same time, Kilraden stabbed Sarang’s neck with his dagger.

“AAH!” Sarang screamed.

Junhyuk gathered his thoughts and turned, trying to look at her to deploy the force field, but Kilraden was already stabbing her a second time, this time through her spine.

Only two hits and Sarang had already lost her life. She was already gone, and Junhyuk grimaced.

He would have to deal with the two champions alone. As he turned to look at Nid, he realized that he had been lucky. The extra attack had triggered, and Nid only had 18 percent of his health left.

After losing that much health, Nid started to retreat.

Junhyuk gritted his teeth and ran forward. The archers on the watchtower started shooting at him, but he ignored them and kept pushing.

Kilraden was chasing after him, but Kilraden didn’t have enough speed to catch up with him. Junhyuk was going after Nid as fast as he could, and suddenly, he felt a sharp pain on his back and scowled.

Kilraden has used two of his teleportations to catch up with him. The champion was not sparing any powers.

Junhyuk turned to look at Kilraden, but the champion had already hidden. Seeing that, Junhyuk quickly raised the force field. He couldn’t use the force field when attacking, but it would help with locating Kilraden.

Surely enough, Kilraden hit the force field and was bounced back. Nid had fled, so Junhyuk turned around and focused on Kilraden.

Junhyuk slashed at Kilraden, and the champion bit his lip and raised his dagger to block. Because Junhyuk had the force field around him, Kilraden’s counter wouldn’t work. They would have to brawl, but Kilraden thought he had a chance since Junhyuk had already used his Spatial Slash.

As Kilraden raised his dagger to block, Junhyuk thought about his training. He had practiced with acceleration, and the acceleration now lasted longer than ever.

On Earth, he used acceleration to speed up when compared to those around him, but in the Dimensional Battlefield, his movement speed remained the same. Only his perception became faster.

As Kilraden blocked with his dagger. Junhyuk gripped the Frozen Rune Sword in his left hand and swung it against the lower half of Kilraden’s body.

He had swung down at Kilraden with the Blood Rune Sword and slashed across him with the Frozen Rune Sword. The two attacks were entirely different. When he first started training, Junhyuk had had a hard time getting used to that combination of attacks.

Because he was using both swords, he had to be in complete control of his muscles, but he could do it now.

Getting attacked from two directions, Kilraden tried to dodge by stepping back. Kilraden was right in retreating, but Junhyuk had expected that, so he took a big step forward and extended his sword deeper.

Kilraden twisted his body to dodge, but Junhyuk aimed at the lower half of Kilraden’s body again. The champion couldn’t escape the Frozen Rune Sword that time.

Kilraden got slashed on the thigh, and Junhyuk smiled with satisfaction. He had debuffed Kilraden, and since he was using acceleration, even Kilraden wouldn’t able to do anything.

Surely enough, Kilraden was having a hard time blocking his sword attacks. Junhyuk could accelerate for eight seconds, and three had already passed. He didn’t know if he could kill Kilraden in that time, but he would try his best.

Kilraden was speechless with Junhyuk’s attacks. His attacks depended on him using his senses, but the champion hadn’t expected the attacks to be like that.

Junhyuk knew what Kilraden would do next now that he was debuffed and slowed. Junhyuk’s attacks had landed, so he regained the health that he had lost against the archers. Kilraden, on the other hand, only had 30 percent of his health left. With the stack of three debuffs on the champion, Junhyuk knew that he could kill Kilraden for sure.

He was about to finish Kilraden when the force field suddenly disappeared, and Kilraden, who had planned to block with his dagger, used his counter instead.

Slash!

Junhyuk lost 30 percent of his health, and he was still within the archers’ range. He was worried, but he decided to finish the fight, so he kept swinging.

There was no reason to retreat, even after the counterattack.

Junhyuk was about to finish Kilraden off, when suddenly, Nid appeared from behind him, spinning like a corkscrew against his back, taking 22 percent off of Junhyuk health at once. Junhyuk had lost half of his health, but Nid did not stop, swinging his sword at him instead.

Junhyuk couldn’t stop Nid’s attack. As the sword’s blade became translucent, Junhyuk decided he had to use his teleportation. Missing because of that, Nid gritted his teeth and chased after him.

Kilraden and Nid chased after him together, but they both had low health. Nid had to have drank a potion at some point because his health was back at 43 percent.

Looking at the two champions, Junhyuk gritted his teeth. He had 48 percent of his health; Kilraden had 30 percent; and Nid had 43 percent.

Junhyuk realized that his Spatial Slash would come off cooldown soon, but would he be able to run away from them in the meantime?

They kept their chase, and Junhyuk murmured to himself, “When I kill you both, I will treat myself to a piece of candy.”

Junhyuk had bought ten pieces, meaning to eat them only at special occasions. If he killed them both, he would eat one.

It wouldn’t be easy to go against the two of them, but he felt confident. He was controlling the distance between himself and his enemies. If he ran too far away, they would stop, so he kept enough of a distance that the enemies kept the idea that they could kill him in their minds.

Junhyuk had one more teleportation left, and his enemies weren’t fast enough to catch up to him. Would they realize it?

Then, Nid and Kilraden stopped chasing him and turned around. They were going back to the watchtower. Junhyuk clicked his tongue. He couldn’t force them to chase after him, so he had to go back to them.

They knew he had used his force field and they would watch out for the Spatial Slash.

He ran toward them, and as he closed in, Nid and Kilraden turned around and attacked him. They had to be aware that his Spatial Slash was coming off cooldown, so they thought they had to finish him before that happened.

Junhyuk scoffed at them. He could read their moves and what they were counting on. They were counting on Nid’s howl, and while he knew that, he kept on running toward them.

When he got closer, Nid stepped forward. Junhyuk was about to swing his sword down at the champion when Nid opened his mouth. That’s when Junhyuk triggered acceleration. It only affected his sense, but he could see Nid’s mouth opening slowly.

Hoowl!

Nid howled, and when he did, Junhyuk teleported. He had done it quickly, but he was still paralyzed by the howl.

However, the teleportation had been a success. Both powers had been used at the same time, and as Junhyuk stopped, both enemies ran toward him.

Junhyuk wanted to kill them both, and his eyes were beaming brightly. It was only a matter of time, and they knew about his Spatial Slash.

He was paralyzed by the howl, so if a lot of critical hits landed on him, Junhyuk would die. Kilraden could deal enough damage to get the job done, but Junhyuk had teleported far away, so the enemies were wasting time getting to him.

Once they got to him, they attacked him. Both strikes were critical hits, but they only took 30 percent off Junhyuk’s total health.

When they attacked again, the paralyzation wore off, so he raised both of his swords to block them.

Clang!

He blocked both attacks, and Kilraden ducked and tried to stab his ribs with the dagger. Nid attacked Junhyuk’s head with the saw-bladed sword.

Junhyuk saw their attacks coming, but he focused on the single-point explosion. The living spirit travelled quickly, leaving energy on the Blood Rune Sword.

He had already stacked four passes of energy by the time they got to him. They had slashed him, but he had stayed alive. So, as he gathered the fifth stack of energy on his sword, he extended it forward, toward Nid.

Kilraden ducked again, even more, making to attack Junhyuk’s legs. The enemies knew about the shockwave his attack created, so they both ducked. Junhyuk also usually aimed the Spatial Slash at their necks, so if they ducked, they could avoid the attack altogether.

However, this time, Junhyuk was lucky. The single-point explosion triggered with the Spatial Slash.

Boom!

The sword pierced Nid’s neck, and a blood-colored spherical shockwave extended from the impact.

Nid disappeared immediately, and Kilraden disappeared soon after.

Junhyuk heard two announcements.

{You’ve killed Nid and earned 3,000G. You’ve killed Kilraden and earned 3,000G.]

Junhyuk coughed out the air in his lungs. He had gambled with his life. If he hadn’t teleported when Nid had howled, he would’ve been killed.

Everything had happened as he had hoped, and he had killed the two by himself. Satisfied, Junhyuk put a piece of candy in his mouth.

It tasted fantastic.
