Chapter 247: Crapshoot 1
Junhyuk looked at enemies facing him and stepped forward.
“We could use our long-range attacks, and our speeds are faster than the golem’s.”
“What are we going to do?”
“Attack the enemies first and retreat when the golem comes for us.”
“OK.”
Gongon lacked experience in the Dimensional Battlefield. Junhyuk’s strategy was borne out of experience, and he moved up.
“Get them all frustrated.”
“But I will kill Kraken.”
“Sure.”
Junhyuk ran and used his Spatial Slash. Kraken was the most dangerous enemy, and Drakey had perfect evasion, so using the Spatial Slash on Drakey would be useless. Lugos could be killed at any time. Therefore, Junhyuk took out one of Kraken’s eyes.
“Argh!”
The Spatial Slash generated a shockwave around that spot, and because the giant golem was within range, he smiled and stepped back.
“Let’s get back to the gate.”
Gongon wagged his tail.
“Are they going to come after us?”
“If they are stupid, they will. If not, they’ll keep some distance between us.”
“That would be bad.”
“No,” Junhyuk said as he smiled. “The first time is fine, but after two Spatial Slashes we can just overrun them.”
The Spatial Slash was the most potent weapon among the champions, especially when the strike was a critical hit, and it dealt even more heavy damage. Junhyuk and Gongon ran away, and as the enemies approached, Gongon laughed.
“They are chasing us so hard that they are about to shit their pants.”
Junhyuk stopped running, and Gongon looked at him.
“If we run that fast, they can’t get closer.”
“Right.”
After scoping out the enemies, Junhyuk said, “Run at my signal.”
Gongon waited, wagging his tail.
“I’m itching to headbutt them.”
“Run, run!”
They started running, but their enemies stopped in their tracks so that the giant golem could catch up, and Junhyuk looked at them.
“That is your plan, right?”
The giant golem turned around, and the enemies followed it back. Junhyuk smiled.
“Let’s get closer.”
They approached the enemy, and Junhyuk was looking for a chance to deliver another Spatial Slash. However, the enemies had seen through his plan. The golem wouldn’t turn around again unless it was hit, and Junhyuk knew that as he looked at the enemies around the castle wall.
Kraken made to go back into the castle, and Junhyuk smiled.
“Will it help us if they go in one by one?”
Kraken entered the castle to regain health, and Junhyuk shouted, “Let’s move!”
He sprinted off and used the Spatial Slash. They were less than thirty meters away, and this time he aimed for Lugos, who had already been hurt by the shockwave and only had 80 percent of his health. Lugos took the hit, and his health decreased by another 40 percent.
Junhyuk seized the chanced and grabbed Aktur and Gongon and teleported. They covered thirteen meters with the move, and when they got closer, Junhyuk shouted, “Go! Gon!”
Gongon flew and headbutted Lugos, leaving him with 20 percent of his health. However, Drakey quickly cast a whirlwind, but it only managed to get Gongon. Lugos tried to retreat to the castle quickly, but Aktur moved faster, and wrapped the cyclops’ neck with his bandages, pulling Lugos toward himself.
Junhyuk stabbed Lugos while he was being pulled, and because there was no way for the cyclops to prepare for the hit, Junhyuk stabbed his neck. It was a critical hit, and Lugos died.
[You’ve killed Lugos and earned 3,000G.]
Drakey retreated after watching Lugos die. He wanted to fight with the golem’s help, but they could kill him easily if he was alone. With Lugos dead, there was nothing he could do.
“Kill the giant golem now!” Junhyuk shouted.
Gongon had been waiting for that and flew toward the giant golem. He kicked at it at the same time the golem kicked his leg.
Boom!
Gongon didn’t have enough force behind his kick, and the golem’s foot was only slightly destroyed, but Gongon bounced away, rolling on the ground for a while.
Junhyuk swung his swords at the golem’s legs, and the shockwave took care of the nearby lizardmen. Without the enemies there, they would have an easier time getting rid of the golem, so it was best that they did it as quickly as possible.
Aktur, aware of the situation, summoned the skeleton soldiers, and they attacked the golem.
Kraken came back, and whenever Junhyuk saw it, he raised the force field around them.
Clang!
The allies continued to attack the golem inside the force field. It was their job to take it down. Meanwhile Kraken whipped desperately against it. His tentacle whips carried quite the impact, but it wasn’t enough to move the force field.
Junhyuk slashed the golem’s legs again.
“Kill it before the force field disappears!”
Gongon smiled.
“Don’t worry so much!”
GOngon was going berserk inside the force field, and the golem was quickly losing its health. Within ten seconds, the golem collapsed. Kraken and Drakey remained. Victory belonged to the allies.
Kraken and Drakey couldn’t fight against the three of them, so they went back to the castle, and Junhyuk scoffed at them and started pounding against the castle’s force field.
“It will be over soon!”
Gongon started to kick the castle’s force field.
“They are scared.”
Probably after hearing Gongon’s remark, Kraken walked out with Drakey. Drakey stepped forward, and the allies attacked him, but he used perfect evasion.
“Shit!”
With his power activated, nothing would hit Drakey for three seconds. No attacks would work against him in that time.
Drakey swung his trident, and Gongon blocked his attacks.
“This is barely a scratch!”
Kraken closed in and lifted Gongon up. At that time, Junhyuk used his jump. In the air, he touched Gongon and teleported away, appearing even higher up.
“Thanks!” Gongon shouted.
“Go kill Kraken! Go, Gon!”
He threw Gongon down like a rock, and the hatchling transformed in the air before landing. Than, he headbutted Kraken’s head.
Boom!
Kraken lost 44 percent of its strength. Junhyuk came plummeting down, holding his sword toward Kraken, who had 56 percent of its health left.
As he lands, his sword pierced the octopus.
“Arrrrhhh!”
Kraken was in danger, and it tried to go back inside the castle’s force field. But, from underneath it, black hand rose from the ground to grab it. The Frozen Rune Sword had debuffed Kraken, and now, Aktur’s Damnation slowed him even further. Still, the castle’s force field was really close.
Kraken continued to try to move toward it, but Gongon swiped Kraken’s leg and shouted, “Where are you going?!”
Kraken was extremely debuff, and Gongon pulled it toward him.
Junhyuk swung his sword at Kraken, debuffing it even further, and the octopus was left with 30 percent of its health.
“A bit more!”
“I’m not just playing in here!”
Drakey generated a sound wave that swept through everyone. They all got thrown to the ground, and Kraken quickly got up. However, it was still very slow, and Kraken had some distance to cover to the force field.
Gongon could kill it quickly. With his transformation, it would be no problem for Gongon to deal the remaining 30 percent in damage.
Junhyuk pushed him and shouted, “Go kill him!”
Gongon ran toward Kraken, and Junhyuk realized that his Spatial Slash had returned. He could kill the octopus with one hit as long as it was a critical hit, but Gongon wanted to do it. Gongon chased after Kraken and inhaled deeply. The firebreath covered Kraken’s entire body while the octopus was still trying to run away.
It was a critical hit, and Kraken lost nearly all of its health. Any attack would kill it now.
Drakey ran toward Gongon, trying to cover for his teammate. He wanted to block the path, but Junhyuk came between them and, while blocking Drakey trident, he shouted, “Jump over!”
Gongon stepped on Junhyuk’s shoulder and jumped over him and Drakey, landing on the back of Kraken’s head as it attempted to return to the castle’s force field.
Boom!
Kraken disappeared, and when Junhyuk looked at the octopus, Drakey stabbed him in the thigh with his trident.
[Gongon killed Kraken.]
“Good job!” Junhyuk shouted.
It was now Drakey’s turn to try to return to the force field, but Gongon stood in his way. Gongon was back to his original size and shouted, “Peek-a-boo! I will kill you too.”
Drakey swung his trident at Gongon, and when the hatchling jumped to escape it, Drakey punched Gongon in his stomach.
Gongon was in the air when he got hit, so he got launched away, but Junhyuk took his place to block Drakey’s path. Aiming his dual swords at Drakey, he said, “So sorry, but you can’t escape.”
“Don’t make me laugh!”
Drakey scoffed at him, and Junhyuk swung his swords. However, instead of blocking with the trident, Drakey closed in on him.
Junhyuk slashed at Drakey, but only one attack actually hit. Although wounded, Drakey was still running toward the force field. He had counted on his perfect evasion to get through, but he had been hurt. Had he used his trident, he would’ve wasted valuable time.
Perfect evasion could save him from time to time, and only one hit had gotten through. However, that’s when the bandages wrapped around Drakey’s neck, and Aktur pulled him toward the allies.
Junhyuk sighed and said, “We got him.”
