Legend of Legends - Chapter 469

Chapter 469: Danger 2

The champions swarmed Durandal after Jeffrey got hit by the arrow and thrown back into a tree. He was in dire condition. The arrow had pierced his shield and chestplate.

Jeffrey looked down at it. Kushuma, the champion from India, was looking at the wound as well. Kushuma had been a doctor before activating his powers, and the champion had a heavy frown on his face.

“This won’t be easy.”

“Will I be able to move right now?”

Junhyuk had teleported away, so Jeffrey was no longer under fire, but he was thinking he had to rejoin the battle immediately. His experience on the battlefield was telling him that.

If things continued as they were, the allies would be annihilated.

“I’m not sure if you’ll survive. Do you see this?” Kushuma asked, and Jeffrey looked at the wound. The area surrounding the arrow was turning black.

The dark energy was spreading, and Jeffrey thought that it might actually kill him.

He sighed and said, “OK. First, remove the arrow and stop the bleeding.”

“I can do that, but…”

“If I stay here, I’ll die.”

Durandal had turned to face the champions. The hero was fighting the champions all by himself, and now, he wanted to kill them.

Things were going terribly.

Kushuma pulled out a scalpel and worked on Jeffrey’s wound. When the arrow came out, black blood gushed out of the wound. After that, Kushuma made a concoction with mud to close the wound.

“You can go first,” Jeffrey said.

Kushuma looked at him, nodded and got up. The champion knew he had to rejoin the fight against Durandal immediately.

“This is simple emergency treatment. If you move, you’ll start bleeding again.”

“I know.”

Kushuma left to rejoin the fight, and Jeffrey pulled himself up by using the tree as support. The mud had stopped the bleeding, but the dark energy had spread up to his neck.

Would he die if it reached his brain? Or he might die once it reached his heart.

While he thought he was dying, something else welled up inside of him. From the time the Dimensional Battlefield had summoned him, Jeffrey had never done what he had wanted to do.

His situation had forced him to flee to South Korea, and now that he was becoming happy again, he had to die like that?

Jeffrey’s fury spread inside of him, and he turned to Durandal. If that undead hero hadn’t appeared, he wouldn’t have had to die.

How could Jeffrey kill Durandal?

Durandal was five meters tall, so it wouldn’t be easy to do. The Ghost White Tiger had failed to kill the hero as well. Jeffrey needed more monsters at his disposal.

“I need more more!”

But, at that moment, Jeffrey could only summon the Ghost White Tiger. He had already done so, so now, he had to wait on his power’s cooldown.

He covered the wound with his hand and walked forward. The dark energy had turned both of Jeffrey’s eyes black, and it consumed the area around his heart.

Penslin would’ve been surprised to see Jeffrey then.

As Jeffrey stepped forward, the champions attacking Durandal were thrown off. Everything seemed to move in slow motion for him. At that moment, Jeffrey knew he was about to die.

“I’m not gonna just die!” he shouted, and the dark energy around his heart agreed with him.

Woob, woob, woob, woob!

The dark energy rushed to Jeffrey’s brain and entered his heart. At the same time, Jeffrey extended both hands and said, “Go!”

Jeffrey summoned all of the monsters he had ever summoned up to that point. The dark energy had enabled him to perform that miracle. It summoned all of the monsters in spirit form.

All of the monsters from Jeffrey’s past as spirits attacked Durandal.

When the monsters attacked, all Durandal could do was swing his fists at them.

A wolf was thrown off, but the gorilla hugged Durandal by the waist. The flying snake wrapped itself around Durandal’s left arm. The spirits attacked without stopping.

Durandal was stunned by what was happening. He couldn’t move and was actually receiving damage.

The hero stomped the ground and the energy within his body burst forth. A dark energy wave rushed out of him and threw the monsters from his body.

Durandal had many skills, and that was one of those he couldn’t use in the Dimensional Battlefield. But, the spirits attacked him again.

“Hmph!” Durandal scoffed, and punched the spirits. His fists were covered in dark energy, so they destroyed the spirits easily.

Jeffrey ran at Durandal while brandishing his shield and pounded the enemy hero on the knee with it.

Boom!

When a champion became a hero, that being’s stats increased. But, although his base stats were supposed to increase, the damage he was dealing was much greater.

Jeffrey had sparred with Junhyuk, and because of that, he had developed better skills and battle sense. That was the reason why he had targeted Durandal’s knee.

Durandal staggered, and Jeffrey bashed the front of his shield against him.

Boom!

Jeffrey could damage Durandal now, but he was still just a new hero. Durandal got up and elbowed Jeffrey, throwing him off.

The hero chased after Jeffrey, who got up and immediately and raised his shield to protect himself. However, the difference between their healths and strengths was too large.

Jeffrey was a hero now, so things weren’t terrible at the moment.

—

Junhyuk parried Alondo’s scythe and countered. He was completely focused on their exchange now, and all that he saw was the scythe.

Junhyuk was focused on the battle in front of him, but Penslin was still shooting. The two enemy heroes had to have been a team for a long time. Penslin knew when to shoot at the exact moment to disrupt Junhyuk’s movements, and every time an arrow reached him, Alondo attacked without exception.

Junhyuk could do nothing but dodge.

He was losing health, but he kept on fighting. There was nobody he could ask for help now. He had to grow, to burst through his limits. Sarang had to fight a mage of a higher circle, and the champions were fighting Durandal.

The champions’ items weren’t great, which was why Durandal was able to take them all at once.

After a few exchanges, Junhyuk started pressuring Alondo. He had gotten used to Aksha’s Longsword on Earth during the battle, so now, he was actually able to land attacks on the hero.

His items were better than Alondo’s, so the enemy hero started losing chunks of health. His Spatial Slash was almost off cooldown, but at that moment, Alondo raised his scythe high above his head.

It was one of Alondo’s powers, and a dark ring constricted him.

Junhyuk couldn’t move. The enemy hero’s following attack would be extremely dangerous. Alondo was using two powers at the same time, and Penslin kept on shooting.

Junhyuk raised his head. He had to dodge the strike somehow or prevent his head from getting hit. Right as his Spatial Slash came off cooldown, Junhyuk cocked his head.

Alondo was sure that he would win, so he swung his scythe down on Junhyuk. At the same time, Junhyuk used his Spatial Slash.

Crack!

The Spatial Slash broke through Alondo’s helmet, and the shockwave from the strike destroyed an incoming arrow from Penslin. It was sheer luck, but the scythe was still coming down on him.

Crack!

The dark ring around him weakened, so Junhyuk ducked. As the scythe sliced his shoulder, Junhyuk rolled forward.

The scythe got stuck right where Junhyuk had been standing. One of his items from the Vampire Lord set was crushed, but Junhyuk swung his longsword in response.

The hooves of the skeleton horse stomped at him.

Clang!

Junhyuk blocked them with the Blood Rune Sword, but he was a moment too late. One of them was coming straight for his head, so he threw himself between the horse’s legs.

Penslin shot another arrow, but it landed where Junhyuk had been standing.

Now under the horse, Junhyuk stabbed up. The sword passed through the horse’s empty stomach and punctured Alondo’s body. The hero had been struck by the Spatial Slash, so by that point, his health was really low.

After the strike, Junhyuk noticed the cracks on the skeleton horse and ran out as fast as he could.

Boom, boom, boom!

Both the horse and Alondo were destroyed. Alondo’s explosion had released massive amounts of dark energy, but his items dropped to the ground.

“As long as I can stay alive…”

If he could stay alive, that battle would provide him a boon. He would pick up all of their hero-class items, enough for five heroes. That would enable him to increase his strength immediately.

Junhyuk now turned to Penslin. Only three remained.

He checked his own condition. He did not dodge the last scythe attack completely. His left shoulder was shattered, and he couldn’t move his arm. He had also been pierced by arrows and stabbed through his rib. He hadn’t recovered from those injuries either.

Still, his eyes beamed sharply. He couldn’t retreat now. Those heroes could destroy humanity, and he had nowhere to go.
