Chapter 344: Full Force 2
Junhyuk’s duty was to protect the rear and prepare for situations that might go wrong. The experts’ team was performing better than he had expected.
In the beginning, they had dealt with a B-ranked snake without any strategy, but after that, the team fought most effectively and with a plan.
Junhyuk told the novice team in the middle to be aware of snakes coming from above since those novices didn’t have experience in the Dimensional Battlefield. He moved forward sometimes, encountering a few giant snakes, but he easily killed them.
Sometimes, two snakes would block their path, and Junhyuk would kill one of them. All five experts attacked the remaining snake, but Junhyuk was able to get rid of one by himself. When the novices watched him do it, their eyes beamed, but Junhyuk ignore their attention and moved forward slowly.
C-ranked monsters usually formed packs of five. The experts’ team would kill four of them and send one to the back. In the beginning, the novices used their powers without any planning, but they soon learned how ineffective it was to move like that and started to strategize.
Junhyuk didn’t teach them much. They learned on their own, and he thought he might not have to worry that much about them.
He moved the teams forward slowly, and as the group moved, he looked at the far away Tokyo Tower and the dimensional tear floating above it.
After acquiring mana, his vision had improved, and he could see the monsters writhing on the tower, with one of them sitting on top of it.
The dimensional tear had spawned a long time ago, so A-ranked monsters were already outside of the tear. That meant that there would be many A-ranked monsters inside the tear.
He wanted to get a feel for the dimensional tear, but it seemed impossible to get close to it now, so he turned to the group. The novices’ teams were on rotation, and they had killed one C-ranked monster. The teams assigned their own team leaders.
Some had never been to the battlefield, but they were experiencing the struggle now and getting accustomed to it. Looking at them, he realized just how rare Sarang was. He had selected all of those powered people, but only one of them had a healing power.
If nobody in the world had been hiding to keep themselves from joining the teams, it would’ve been certain that only two people in the entire world had healing powers.
Junhyuk watched the woman with the healing power and measured the amount she healed. She couldn’t heal much when compared to Sarang, but that might be because the woman hadn’t been trained by anyone. Sarang could fill anyone’s health completely, even if that person only had 1 percent of it left.
He was considering the experts’ and the novices’ powers when, suddenly, he stopped walking. They were still all nervous, but now, they had used their powers and had more trust on the weapons their were carrying, so they felt better.
One novice had been bitten by a C-ranked wolf, and their armor was OK, but the person’s arm was torn, and the bone was crushed. The woman healed them, and the person survived with their arm reconstructed. The person had merely wanted to survive.
Junhyuk looked over all of the teams and called for the experts.
“Everyone, stop for now.”
The group stopped, and he walked toward the experts’ team. They looked tired. They hadn’t rested yet.
“We haven’t encountered any monsters since the last one. How long has it been?” he asked them.
The novices had been focused on their powers and didn’t know how much time had passed since the appearance of the last monster.
Peyton answered calmly, “About ten minutes.”
Major Sean added with a grimace, “We’ve seen monsters in five- to ten-minute intervals, so ten minutes should be the maximum.”
Junhyuk shook his head. He felt no monsters around them. Then, he raised his head and looked at the Tokyo Tower. A Wolf Warlord was sitting atop of it, and the monster glared into his eyes.
There was quite a distance between them, but their eyes met, and he saw the Wolf Warlord smiling. It stared at him, nodded and howled for a long time.
Hooooooooowwwwlll!
When Junhyuk heard it, he felt the other monsters converging on them. The Wolf Warlord controlled more than just the war wolves.
Junhyuk shouted, “Experts’ team, take the rear and make a path! We are retreating for now, as quickly as possible!”
The experts’ team moved to the rear, but the novices were dumbstruck, and Junhyuk shouted at them, “We retreat in full force! If you fall behind, there’s nothing I can do!”
The others realized the gravity of the situation. They had all thought that they had learned enough about the monster zone, but the reality was that the enemy had lured them even deeper.
In the rear, the experts started running. Soon, they felt a rumble and they all frowned. Junhyuk, who was running next to the teams, grimaced.
“Something is going on.”
He would’ve been better off if he’d been alone, but now, he was burdened by the many amateurs. Junhyuk looked ahead to the border of the monster zone and saw a barricade of monsters had set up there: three twin-headed ogres and two snakes on buildings. From their left and right, packs of war wolves were rushing toward them, along with more B-ranked monsters.
He looked back and saw no monsters coming from behind them. They were gathering beneath the Tokyo Tower.
Junhyuk smiled bitterly. If he’d been alone, he would’ve attacked the Wolf Warlord. He wasn’t completely sure of what to do inside the tear, but outside, he could kill as many as he wanted.
The experts running ahead were scared. The team couldn’t deal with five B-ranked monsters, and Junhyuk was preoccupied taking care of the novices. The experts had to stop them.
Peyton rubbed his hands and shouted, “I’ll make a wall!”
The B-ranked monsters could not be killed by the concentrated firepower from the experts, and the wall wouldn’t stop the snakes, but the first thing to do was to stop the twin-headed ogres from rushing at them. Those three twin-headed ogres had been nowhere to be seen when the group first entered the monster area.
When they appeared, things became chaotic. They didn’t have a plan of attack for twin-headed ogres, and they were going against three of them, so it would be better to take out the snakes first.
Peyton extended his hands and made a five-meter tall wall in front of the ogres. The wall was three-meters thick, just like a castle’s wall. However, it would only last for five seconds. After that, it would crumble on its own.
The wall stopped the twin-headed ogres immediately.
Boom! Boom!
The ogres pounded on the wall, and Peyton raised his head. The snakes were coming toward them, and the experts moved quickly.
Two of them paired up and moved toward a snake, and Junhyuk shouted, “Take the left side!”
He was already running toward the snake on the right side. Junhyuk had been very far behind the expert team, but he had already closed in and killed the snake on the building.
He actually ran up the building’s wall since he was so fast, stepped on the dead snake’s body and jumped. Junhyuk was going over the wall Peyton had made.
Peyton was shocked. Behind that wall, there were three twin-headed ogres waiting.
The four experts dealt with the snake on the left, and suddenly, they heard a loud explosion from behind the wall Peyton had made.
Boom!
The wall shook. What was happening back there?
Once the wall disappeared, they saw two twin-headed ogres shredded to pieces and the other beheaded.
Junhyuk had joined them after one second had passed, killed the snake and jumped over the wall within three seconds, which meant that it had only taken him a second to kill the three twin-headed ogres.
Peyton realized that his superior officers had seriously underestimated Junhyuk. When the dimensional tear had appeared in Seoul, Junhyuk had stopped it, and they had all thought that it could be done by a few experts, but they were wrong.
They had all thought that Junhyuk was an expert with good equipment, but Peyton now knew that they were all wrong. Even if all experts attacked him, he would kill them all.
As Peyton looked left, he saw the snake falling dead. Ling Ling, from China, had taken care of it. Up until now, 60 percent of the B-ranked monsters had been killed by her.
Junhyuk quickly analyzed the situation. There were monsters coming at them from every directions, but they had killed the B-ranked monsters blocking their retreat.
“Everyone run!”
The monsters were surrounding them, but now there was a hole in the circle. If they followed that opening, they would find themselves on a narrow path, but they could escape through it.
Junhyuk could buy the rest of the group more time to escape. The novices were running out of breath. Some hadn’t trained at all previously, so they couldn’t bear to run that fast.
They had advanced three kilometers, so there were monster bodies all over, along with cars parked alongside the road. They had run back three kilometers, and many were getting tired.
Junhyuk ran very fast, shouting at the people lagging behind, “Run! If you do not, you’ll be fed to the wolves! Run until you hearts explode!”
When he did, people ran faster.
He saw ogres trying to flank them from left and right, but they all ran at full speed, and the ogres fell behind them.
Junhyuk watched as the packs of wolves came from everywhere. Previously, there had only been one pack at a time, but now there were multiple. Hundred of wolves were coming from left and right, and another hundred from behind them, chasing after them.
Junhyuk clicked his tongue and tore a door off a car parked on the road. He had six of the highest quality attack runestones, so his strength was beyond human imagination.
He threw the door at a pack of wolves.
Slash!
The door flew like a boomerang, hitting a wolf’s ribs and flying across five more wolves, tearing them apart. The wolves’ blood splattered all over the novices, and they froze in fear.
Junhyuk threw another car door to the opposite side. Dozens of wolves had been close to them, but only four of them remained now.
“Retreat! Fast!”
The novices could kill the four remaining wolves. Some had panicked after getting drenched in the wolves’ blood, but many kept their wits and attacked the wolves.
Junhyuk was in the very far back, and the twin-headed ogres and the wolf packs were avoiding him. They had already seen him fight.
The experts’ team and the novices retreated quickly, and Junhyuk pulled out a second Wolf Warlord sword. He turned around and looked forward with no intention of letting any of the monsters go.
Someone appeared next to him. He saw Ling Ling with her dual swords, and one by one, the experts joined Ling Ling next to him.
Frowning, Junhyuk said in a husky voice, “I told you to retreat.”
Peyton shrugged.
“The novices and the monsters special forces have already evacuated.”
“Why are you still here?”
“We can be of some help,” Ling Ling said, but Junhyuk shook his head and replied, “Don’t die on me.”
