Legend of Legends - Chapter 438
Chapter 438: Group Battle 1
The two of them had killed all five enemy heroes, but the allies didn’t stop there. They decimated the undead minions. The enemy heroes had divided into two groups, which had been the cause of their downfall. Thanks to their enemies’ mistake, Sarang and Junhyuk were able to kill all of them.
The allies had attacked first, which had helped them. Junhyuk’s Spatial Slash could be fatal, and the damagers and vanguards couldn’t withstand a critical hit from it.
Junhyuk and Sarang picked up the items dropped by the enemies and occupied the buff tower. While spending time in the buff tower, Junhyuk turned to his minions. They were different from previous minions. They had risked their lives for him.
“Why did you save me?” he asked them.
A male minions stepped forward and said, “We know that we need the heroes if we are to return safely.”
Junhyuk agreed with them. Without the heroes, the minions would be annihilated. The enemy heroes had died, and Junhyuk and Sarang had killed all four hundred undead minions. Only the enemy champion had survived.
He stared at them and said, “There are 115 of you still alive.” Once he heard the announcement for triggering the buff, Junhyuk got up and told them, “Follow me, and I’ll try to keep you that way.”
The male minion spoke up again and asked, “Does that mean not everyone will survive?”
Junhyuk nodded heavily and said, “That’s right, but I’ll do my best to keep you alive.”
He remembered the minions risking their lives to save him. It was quid pro quo, and it was his turn to act, so he decided to keep the minions back as much as possible. He would take the frontlines before them.
Junhyuk connected to Gongon and Layla at the same time.
“How did you take the buff tower?”
“Did you kill all five?”
Both asked quickly, and he replied, “I was lucky.”
“What do we do now?”
“Destroy your towers and push for the second. If the enemies show up in my path again, I’ll let you both know.”
“Are you staying there?”
“I’ll go kill a buff monster and come back to the buff tower.”
“OK,” they said.
Once he disconnected, he turned to Sarang and said, “Stay here and look out for any enemies. I’ll go hunt a buff monster and be back soon.”
“Don’t you want me to come with you?”
“While we can both get buffed, the important thing is to know our enemies’ movements.”
After some thought, she said, “Sure, I’ll stay.”
Sarang didn’t care about the buff monster. However, killing a buff monster wasn’t exactly easy. Junhyuk turned to the minions and said, “Stay here and wait for me.”
“Yes, sir.”
It would be easier to take the buff with the minions, but Junhyuk wanted to spare their lives. That’s why he decided to go alone. After bidding Sarang goodbye, he moved out to find the buff monster.
Junhyuk was headed to where the Wolf Warlord stayed.
The Wolf Warlord was surrounded by wolves. Junhyuk inhaled deeply. The memory of the first time he met a wolf crossed his mind. Back then, a single wolf had been deadly. Now, he didn’t mind that the Wolf Warlord was surrounded by them.
Junhyuk ran forward swinging his sword. Aksha’s Longsword stretched out and scattered the wolves. He was rushing straight for the Wolf Warlord. The Wolf Warlord howled loudly and rushed toward him.
The Wolf Warlord was also restrained in the Dimensional Battlefield. While it was slowed, Junhyuk’s own items still worked in the battlefield, so the Wolf Warlord ended up being an easier opponent there than on Earth. Junhyuk accelerated, enabling him to read all of the Wolf Warlord’s movements.
It only took him five attacks to kill the Wolf Warlord. Scavenging the body, Junhyuk found bloodstones. After that, he quickly returned to Sarang.
She was looking out at the path ahead. Even though Junhyuk had taken a significant amount of time hunting and killing the Wolf Warlord, she remained on watch. Junhyuk was curious about that.
“The enemy?”
“They didn’t come this way.”
“Did you contact the others?”
“I told them to be careful.”
Junhyuk connected to Gongon and Layla. They answered him excitedly.
“Don’t worry. I’ve heard,” Gongon said.
He had asked about things on their end.
“Are you retreating?”
“No, we’re about to attack the second tower. After that, we’ll head to Bebe.”
Gongon wasn’t alone. Elise was with him.
Junhyuk turned to Layla and asked, “How’s it going?”
“We killed a buff monster, so we’re heading middle.”
“You’re coming here?!”
“I thought we weren’t supposed to go middle,” Gongon said.
“That’s right.”
“Let’s take the middle path. If two can kill all of them, four will be enough for a slaughter.”
“So, you’re giving up on the right?”
“We’ll push middle.”
Junhyuk agreed with Layla’s idea. If they pushed from the middle path, they would control the shortest path to the enemy castle and win, so he told them to come. Taking the second watchtower would give them the quickest and easiest win.
“OK. Let’s meet at the second watchtower.”
Junhyuk and Sarang could kill the heroes, but the other allies would have some difficulty pulling it off. They had managed it because of their items and powers.
Layla could kill enemy heroes, but she couldn’t do what Sarang could do. She had a combo attack, but not an area attack. Rodrey was focusing on buffing his attacks, but he couldn’t kill enemy heroes with a single strike yet.
Realizing that the allied groups might be decimated on their own, he told them to head middle.
Junhyuk also decided to go destroy the second watchtower with just his own group. They were buffed now, so they could move quickly.
He took the minions and Sarang to attack the second watchtower. Junhyuk took the lead and blocked the archers’ arrows aimed at the minions. The archers’ weren’t buffed, so he used his body in the fight and attacked the tower.
After destroying the tower, Sarang healed him. Once he had recovered all of his health, he looked at a group approaching him. Layla and Rodrey were coming with 180 minions.
“Were they here?”
Junhyuk had destroyed the second watchtower, but he didn’t know where the enemy heroes were, so he shrugged and asked, “What do we do? Advance?”
They could advance and destroy the castle. With the four of them there, it would be enough.
Suddenly, and before Layla had a chance to answer, Gongon contacted them.
“Hey! Go to Bebe’s right now!”
“Aren’t you there already?” Junhyuk asked, curious about Gongon’s weird behavior.
Gongon clenched his jaw and said, “No. All five enemy heroes are there, in front of the portal.”
Junhyuk frowned and asked, “Elise?”
“Dead.”
Junhyuk sighed and said, “Tell her to stay in the castle. You take a hundred minions with you and go occupy the buff tower. We’ll head over to Bebe’s.”
“Sure.”
Junhyuk told the others about Gongon’s situation, and Layla smirked, “Good. Now we can kill them all and pick up the items to sell to Bebe right there.”
Rodrey nodded.
“I brought some things from my dimension that I want to sell to buy something new.”
“What do you have?”
“Legendary items from home. I found a few interesting ones.”
Heroes could find items anywhere.
Junhyuk stretched lightly and said, “Time to avenge Elise.”
The enemies couldn’t have a lot of minions with them. They had already lost four hundred.
As the group moved toward Bebe’s, they knew that the enemies might have moved on. However, the possibility of them camping by the portal was still high.
As he approached, Junhyuk used his spatial sense. He could sense them.
Gongon’s group was decimated, but for that to happen, Gongon might have been surprise-attacked. The allied towers weren’t under attack, so the enemies seemed to be waiting in ambush.
Junhyuk walked faster, and the group sped up. He looked intently at the reed field. His spatial sense did not seem to work on it, and that shocked him. Junhyuk had been able to sense people in the reed field before, but now, something was interfering with it.
“Something’s up.”
He was thinking that if the Dimensional Battlefield had changed, the managers should have let him know. He stopped his group’s advance.
“The enemies may be hiding in the forest or in the reed field. I can’t sense them,” he said.
Layla shrugged and said, “Something’s weird. Sarang.”
“Yes, big sis?”
“Cast something over there.”
“Sure!”
While the group moved, Sarang shot arrows at different places. Every area of the reed field was attacked by her. She shot quickly, and the group moved ahead without slowing down.
Sarang was in a protected position within the group. If she had been ahead, the enemies might’ve ambushed the group and focused their attacks on her.
The group approached Bebe’s store quickly. There wasn’t a lot of the reed field left in front of them. Because Sarang was scanning the environment with her magic and coming up empty, Junhyuk thought the enemies might have decided to go destroy one of the allied towers.
She shot an electric arrow at the last path of reed, and the group crossed it.
“What do we do? Should we go in the portal?”
Junhyuk had business with Bebe. He wanted to sell the Red Dragon Armor.
Sarang nodded and said, “Let’s do it. I earned quite a bit from the gamble. I want some new items.”
Junhyuk turned to her chuckling and saw Epilen appear behind her. “Dodge!” he shouted instinctively.
