Chapter 63: Changes 3
Translator: - - Editor: - -
Minota's movement slowed down. He had no problem with his attack speed, but his movement speed decreased, and Halo attacked him, so he was unable to move.
Minota knew he couldn't move at will, so he blocked Halo's attack with both arms and rushed toward Junhyuk. Even though his movement speed was low, rush was his power, and it wasn't affected by the debuff.
Junhyuk had already used spatial relocation, but he smiled at Minota rushing at him.
"Nothing will change."
He created a force field around himself, and Minota rushed the ivory-colored force field head on.
Thunk!
The force field was thrown back and hit the ground once with Junhyuk still smiling at Minota from inside. Minota ran toward him.
This time, he was not rushing, so his movement was slowed again. Junhyuk ran head on against Minota. Halo was attacking him from behind, so there was one thing Junhyuk should do.
Minota saw Junhyuk running toward him and tried to kick Junhyuk. He ducked to dodge the kick and swung his swords. The swords slashed Minota's ankle.
The attack didn't damage him much, but it applied the debuff again. Minota swung his fist down, and Junhyuk sidestepped it.
Boom!
His movement speed was slowed down, but his attack speed was still fine, and his fist attack was impressive. Junhyuk escaped by rolling on the ground. He didn't have enough attack power to seriously damage Minota, and Minota was very strong.
Minota wanted to chase after Junhyuk, but he couldn't because of Halo's interruptions. He couldn't rush, and because of his movement speed, he couldn't fight Halo. Halo also aimed at Minota's leg.
Junhyuk's attacks had scratched him, but Halo's attacks were different. One blow from Halo was enough to damage the muscles.
"Woo, woo, woo!"
Minota mooed angrily and turned to face Halo. Halo took big steps back, and Minota snarled and ran toward him. That's when Halo used his light flash attack.
The flash traveled sixty-five feet and slashed Minota's ribs.
"Ugh!"
Halo moved again, keeping his distance from Minota. He couldn't fight Minota at close quarters. Halo moved toward Minota, and Junhyuk watched the battle.
One Minota had been killed by Artlan and Vera. The other Minota was being attacked by Halo.
Halo was having his way with the ox when Vera and Artlan joined him. It was over. The victory belonged to his side.
"Ha-ha-ha!"
Minota laughed loudly and hit Halo. He used his rushing power, and Halo could only block the attack with his sword.
Clunk!
Halo bounced toward the watchtower. It could've been Minota's last struggle, but Halo ran toward him, and the people from the watchtower ran toward Halo.
"Be careful!"
Junhyuk discovered them first and shouted, and Halo turned to look. Halo saw Ellic holding his hammer and rushing toward him.
Clunk! Boom!
Ellic rushed him, and Halo bounced back. Junhyuk was watching all of this unfold and frowned.
"What is that...?"
Ellic rushed Halo, and there was an explosion. Halo bounced back because of that explosion. He was trying to find his balance when Warren appeared from behind Ellic.
They all had red-colored circles underneath their feet.
"Is it buff?"
He wasn't sure, but Warren and Ellic were indeed buffed. Behind Ellic and Warren, there were a hundred minions. The situation was about to take a turn.
Junhyuk saw Ellic and Warren running and shouted.
"Kill that filthy ox first!"
Vera launched a firewall in front of Ellic and Warren to buy more time, and Artlan finished off Minota.
Minota had lost a lot of energy, so he couldn't withstand Artlan's attacks and died. With Minota gone, the allies had three heroes, and the enemies were two.
His side had the advantage, but Junhyuk was in a difficult situation. He could use spatial relocation, but he couldn't use the force field. He could get killed by stepping forward.
The enemy wanted to get in closer to attack, but Artlan and Halo were fighting them while Vera prepared her magic. Junhyuk stood next to Vera.
"Sarang! Come this way!"
Sarang also went over to Vera. However, Vera couldn't use her magic yet.
Junhyuk stood in front of the two, and Vera laughed.
"Are you protecting us?"
"Focus on your attack."
"Don't worry."
Vera created an fire orb that floated in front of Artlan. Ellic and Warren had to go through the fire orb to attack Artlan.
She had bought more time by doing that and prepared a fire spear.
Warren jumped over Artlan and went after Halo. Artlan and Ellic were fighting each other.
Boom!
However, when Artlan blocked Ellic's attack, there was another explosion, and Artlan had to take a step back. Junhyuk looked at Ellic carefully. He was not using any special powers, so that meant he was buffed.
Junhyuk wasn't wrong. When Warren attacked Halo, there was another explosion.
Boom!
Ellic's attacks were heavy and strong, but Warren's attacks were fast because he swung both arms to attack.
The explosions continued, and Halo kept being pushed back.
Junhyuk was watching all that and told Vera:
"We have to slow them down and then attack."
"Right. Sarang, attack with me. Aim for Warren."
Sarang and Vera attacked Warren. Warren lifted his arms to block, but his movement speed was lowered. He was debuffed, and it was stacked twice.
Junhyuk was not relieved even though he was slowed down. Warren had a special healing power. He could heal himself while getting hurt.
Warren was slowed down, and Vera and Sarang continued their attacks. Sarang's attack was not strong enough, but Vera's attack was different.
Warren chased after Halo, realized he had lost some speed and frowned. He then changed his target to Vera and Sarang.
Warren had a jumping power, so his jump was not affected by the slow movement speed.
He was coming down at the two when Junhyuk smirked.
"Sorry, but you can't do that."
Junhyuk grabbed both Vera and Sarang and teleported.
Boom!
Junhyuk and company moved forty feet from the original spot. He had applied himself continuously, and the distance of his spatial relocation had increased.
Warren turned his head and bared his teeth. Then, Halo attacked with a light flash. Warren blocked it, and countered with his own attack.
Boom!
Warren's claws touched, and there was another explosion. Halo frowned at the fact that whenever Warren attacked, there was an explosion.
"There is an explosion when he attacks. Keep your distance from him," Junhyuk shouted.
Warren ground his teeth, but Halo kept his distance, attacking him with light flashes, and Warren couldn't stand it any longer and howled:
"Hooowwl!"
The howl froze Halo's movements, and Warren mounted his own attacks.
Boom, boom!
Halo staggered and stepped back. Warren's howl froze his opponents, and Halo was defenseless against the attacks and the buffed explosions.
Then, Warren's eyes turned red. He meant to heal himself, and Junhyuk felt this could be a long fight.
Vera smiled.
"Halo, get ready!"
Halo heard her and threw his sword above his head. Warren scoffed at the whole thing.
"You think you can hit me with that?"
Vera made fire orbs and spears and shouted:
"Sarang!"
"Yes!"
Sarang shot her lightning blast and hit Warren. Warren couldn't move, and the fire orbs and spears hit him continuously.
Boom!
Warren staggered, and Halo's sword moved in the air. It traveled like a bolt of lighting and hit Warren, piercing his chest.
"Argh!"
Warren had actually healed himself when he was struck by Halo's sword. Even though he had healed himself, he could only heal through one attack at a time.
Warren had to withstand Halo's and Vera's attacks. This was Halo's power, Justice Rain from Above, and it took a long time to ready. He didn't use it often, but Sarang and Vera had helped him. Justice Rain from Above was rarely used, but it inflicted heavy damage.
Warren staggered, and Junhyuk walked over to him. Warren ground his teeth while looking at him.
"Do you want to die?!"
He had a hole in his chest, but was still swinging his claws at Junhyuk. Junhyuk did not want to kill Warren this time. He didn't have enough attack power to do it.
Junhyuk's eyes shone, and he swung his swords against the Warren's claws and slashed his wrist. It was a small cut, but he had slashed him.
Warren bared his teeth and tried to bite him, and Junhyuk teleported. It was not Junhyuk's job to finish him off.
Warren chased after Junhyuk. Halo's sword had gone through his chest, and Halo used the sword to behead him. Warren's head flew into the air, and Junhyuk heard a soft voice whispering:
[You took away the Salamander buff. For the next two hours, when you attack, your attacks will have a fire attribute and inflict 50 additional damage. If you die within those two hours, your opponent will take over these buffs.]
He had new powers. They only lasted for a couple of hours, but he could inflict additional damage. He had been lacking in attack power, so receiving the buff was great news.
He had no intention to fight one on one against a hero, but this new buff made a big difference.
Junhyuk looked at the purple- and red-colored magic circles around his feet and smiled.
"This is nice!"
Ellic was still standing, but the opposing side had three heroes, and he realized what his position was and began trying to escape.
He used rush to get out, but Vera created a firewall.
He passed through the firewall and his movement speed declined. Junhyuk laughed at him. Ellic couldn't escape.
Sarang shot a lightning bolt. There was red glint around it.
Boom!
Sarang's lightning bolt was very weak against heroes, but she was buffed by the Salamander buff.
Ellic frowned, and Artlan showed up.
"The buff is really strong."
Artlan jumped up and came down on Ellic. Ellic swung his hammer, exchanging blows with Artlan. The allied side had three heroes, a buffed expert and a buffed novice.
Junhyuk watched the events unfold. Ellic was moving backward, and the spatial relocation's cooldown time was over, so Junhyuk jumped.
Had he run, he could have been killed. Junhyuk teleported to Ellic's back and slashed him.
Boom, boom!
Surely, there was an additional fifty damage to every hit.
"Ugh!"
Ellic's body started thinning out. After his attack, he had meant to teleport away, but he stared at Ellic blankly. Ellic was disappearing, and Junhyuk tried to grab him but couldn't.
Ellic slowly disappeared, and in his place, a golden bracelet was left.
