Legend of Legends - Chapter 458

Chapter 458: Continuous Danger 2

Junhyuk kept teleporting while running. He had had two speed buffs when he started, but the tower buff disappeared on the way.

The second enemy watchtower had already been destroyed, which meant that the allies had killed the enemy hero guarding it.

Junhyuk wished that the Dimensional Battlefield acted like Earth. If things had been like on Earth, he would’ve accelerated, and that would make him free to solve any issue.

Thinking about it, however, he shook his head. His enemies would also fight without restraint if that had been the case. If he was restrained, his enemies were as well. With both sides restrained, he wasn’t sure about who was actually stronger. He wasn’t confident that he was. On Earth, items from the Dimensional Battlefield did not get any weaker, but heroes have individual skill levels. He wasn’t sure about how skilled he really was, but he could make a few guesses about Aksha.

Aksha was a true legend, but he wasn’t sure about the other heroes. While Junhyuk was thinking about those things, a projection of Layla’s face appeared, making him stop.

“Run back!”

“Were you killed?”

“Yes. They came from the castle.”

“They returned and came after you?”

“Yes.”

Junhyuk had run from the Dragon’s Valley and had already passed the second watchtower. His enemies had returned to the castle and run down the path.

Junhyuk frowned and asked, “Where did you get killed?”

“About an hour down the path from where we destroyed the watchtower. I just died, so they should be far from you. You should retreat.”

Thinking about it, Junhyuk said, “It’s not that simple.”

If they were coming for him, he could run away, but he still had the dragon’s buff. Instead, he contacted Gongon.

“Gon, where are you?”

“Why?”

“Layla and Rodrey have been killed.”

“So?”

“Are the enemies coming toward me? Or are they heading toward you?”

Gongon took a moment to think and said, “They’ll come after me.”

“How long until you reach the next watchtower?”

“About an hour?”

By then, the enemy heroes might already be there.

“Let’s push for it. The enemy heroes could be there when you get there, but we’ll deal with that and run away. That’s the better option.”

“Sure. Let’s do it.”

After some thought, Junhyuk said, “I should head middle just in case.”

Junhyuk could reach the second middle watchtower in two hours. By then, it was possible his enemies could be there as well. They could move around to kill the allied heroes, but the allies would destroy the watchtowers in all three paths.

If they came for him, Junhyuk would just run away.

“We need items with speed buffs.”

Without the buffs, running away wasn’t possible. Junhyuk had two teleportations to distance himself, but Garu could jump, Ronga could rush, and Yagi had a massive speed buff.

Junhyuk looked at his bracer. It gave him the jump skill, which had really helped him, but did that skill really suit him?

He really liked Elise’s and Ronga’s powers.

As he ran, Gongon contacted him and said, “I killed the enemy who had revived again. I feel great!”

“That’s good. Did you destroy the watchtower?”

“Yes.”

“Then, return.”

“Should I? I want to kill the buff monster and then head middle.”

Junhyuk took a moment to think. It wasn’t a bad idea to gather the allies in the middle, so nodding, he answered, “OK. Contact Layla and tell her to head middle as well.”

“Sure.”

Junhyuk disconnected and picked up the pace. He was making sure to save his teleports because they might save him if he came upon his enemies.

When he reached the watchtower, he saw nobody. Relieved, he rushed toward the tower. Arrows flew at him from the top of the tower, and he got hit by them. Junhyuk didn’t care about that despite losing a lot of health. In response, he raised his force field.

With the force field up, he destroyed the watchtower. However, he decided not to advance further. Instead, he would go see Bebe. He thanked the dragon’s buff for being able to move so quickly.

On his way, he contacted Gongon again, “Gon, I’m on my way to see Bebe. You should join me.”

“Yeah?”

Gongon just had to change directions, so he didn’t refuse Junhyuk’s offer. They made plans to meet in front of Bebe’s store.

Junhyuk kept going, and about fifteen minutes from the store, Gongon contacted him again.

When Junhyuk saw Gongon’s face, he chuckled and said, “I’ll be there in fifteen.”

“Don’t come.” Junhyuk frowned, and Gongon gritted his teeth, saying, “I met him on the way to Bebe’s. That lion’s no joke!”

Junhyuk knew about the extent of Ronga’s damage. His own defense was even better than Gongon’s, so he really didn’t like how high Ronga’s attack stat was.

If all three heroes had attacked Gongon, there would’ve been no way for the hatchling to survive alone. He and Sarang had killed Ronga, but that had been thanks to the force field.

Junhyuk sighed heavily and looked ahead. He was really close to Bebe’s, but his enemies might be heading his way.

The enemy hero Gongon had killed had to have told them about the watchtowers.

Junhyuk wanted to meet the enemy heroes, but he didn’t care if that didn’t happen. It had been a while since the allies had been killed at that rate.

Turning around, Junhyuk started running. He wanted to join the rest of his team, so he would go to the buff tower.

Every allied hero had died once in that round. The enemies had also died, but now, they were more dangerous than at the start.

“Ronga…”

If Junhyuk was the core of his team, Ronga filled the same spot for the enemy team.

He contacted Layla, and she said, “I heard from Gon. Are you alive?”

“Our enemies aren’t stupid.”

After the destruction of the watchtowers, they had changed their plans.

“What should we do now?”

“I’m heading to the buff tower.”

“Yeah? We’ll get there ahead of you.”

“Come up the middle path, and I’ll take the path back from the watchtower to the buff tower.”

“Sure.”

Junhyuk took a moment to think. Could the allies kill the three enemy heroes without Sarang? Were there only three enemy heroes now?

He walked toward the middle path. A team battle was imminent, and in it, Junhyuk would have to kill Ronga alone. If the allies poured all of their powers against him, they would be able to kill him quickly, but by doing that, they would be attacked by the other heroes.

Junhyuk lengthened Aksha’s Longsword, and for a moment, his sword stretched to twenty meters. He felt the weight of the sword at full extension.

On Earth, he could accelerate and read the enemy’s movements, but on the battlefield, things were different.

Junhyuk was satisfied with his reaction time with Aksha’s Longsword.

“Ronga…”

The enemy hero’s swordsmanship was superior to his, and he was easily killed in their first duel.

Junhyuk reached the enemy’s watchtower, but no enemies were there.

From there, he looked over at the enemy camp and saw a hero climbing up the path with minions. The sight of it made him scowl. The enemy team had to be thinking of having a team battle at the buff tower. If the allies lost that battle, all allied actions taken up to that point would lose their meaning.

Looking at the hero, Junhyuk came to the conclusion that he was at least an hour from his enemy. He thought about going down the path to kill everyone, but other heroes might appear and group up on him.

Instead, he ran back to the buff tower. If he had spotted the enemy, the enemy might have spotted him as well. If that were the case, he could die on the way to the tower.

He ran pell-mell to the top of the mountain. The hero with the minions was the rhinoceros. He had inspected the enemy and come to the conclusion that the hero had to be a tank, which meant they had two tanks, two long range attackers, and a damager much like Junhyuk himself.

He laughed when he considered himself a damager and a tank. He had the highest defense among the allies and the best attacks.

While climbing the mountain, Junhyuk received the buff tower’s buff. With the faster movement speed, he joined his team.

He looked down at the path and saw his enemies coming together one by one. They were definitely preparing for a team battle, and once all of them had gathered, Junhyuk saw that they had three hundred minions with them.

The enemies meant to push through from the middle, and like he had guessed, it would take them an hour and a half to reach the top. From the other side, he could see Gongon and Sarang heading his way.

The allies were buffed, but because they had minions with them, they were moving slowly. They would take another two hours to reach the top, so he contacted Gongon and said, “Gon, leave the minions behind.”

“Why?”

“You need to move a full speed. If not, the enemy team will get here before you.”

The three at the top of the mountain could hold off the enemy team with help from the watchtower, but it wouldn’t be easy. Junhyuk didn’t want to take that kind of risk.

“OK. I’ll speed up.”

Junhyuk turned to look down at his enemies. When his eyes met Ronga’s, he muttered, “This fight will depend on timing.”

Even with the buff, Gongon would be late, so he had to protect the watchtower from the five enemy heroes.
