Chapter 393 - Sarang Kim 3

Chapter 393: Sarang Kim 3
The tank knew how effective the lizardmen were, and he advanced alone and without hesitation. His strategy was to absorb the attacks from the watchtower archers while leading the lizardmen to quickly bring down the tower.
The tank moved quickly.
It was understandable that the enemy champions had given up the first tower since they had destroyed the first allied tower as well, but the tank had ignored the enemies taking the quest. Junhyuk felt like the tank was overexerting himself, but because of him, the allies had the advantage.
The enemies began to rush toward the quest monster. Through Sarang’s vision, Junhyuk could also see it. After the quest monster appeared, the enemies closed the gap between them and it.
Sarang and the elf waited. The enemies had already entered the fight against the quest monster, and there was no reason for the allies to interfere with it unless they were trying to steal the quest.
Sarang’s Thunderstorm was off cooldown, so she could deal major damage from a distance. She still had to be careful with the assassin, but the assassin himself was as weak as paper. She only had to watch out for his attacks.
Nevertheless, the assassin was cautious. Sarang hadn’t been able to attack him yet. When the assassin attacked, it could hide in shadows and close in against her to attack her. He was very dangerous.
The enemies were fighting a tentacle monster for the quest. Junhyuk was a little tense. The quest monster was focusing on the enemy tank, so the others were unhurt. They had no other recourse, however. They wanted the least amount of casualties in the fight with the monster.
The elf talked to Sarang for a moment and entered the clearing. Junhyuk’s hands balled into fists. Had he been there with them, he would’ve teleported to deliver a strike, but he wasn’t there, so he felt bad and frustrated.
Suddenly, the elf took off quickly. The tentacle monster was heavily injured, so it would be a great idea for the elf to ensnare an enemy now. Sarang started following the elf. Then, the elf shot its rope arrow against the enemy tank. The idea was for the allies to tie the tank down and attack the other champions.
The arrow zoomed across the air, but the assassin interfered. When the arrow hit the assassin, the assassin turned into smoke and the arrow disappeared.
When the assassin appeared again, he stabbed the elf in the chest. Without realizing, Junhyuk shouted,
No!

Sarang shot her electric blast against the assassin, but he had already disappeared again. The assassin reappeared behind her and stabbed her with his dagger. He was targeting Sarang.
Sarang didn’t turn around when stabbed. Instead, she cast Thunderstorm.
Craaaaaack!! Boom!
The bolts of lightning burned everything around her, and Sarang cast heal on herself. Speckles of light sprinkled over her, and the assassin attacked her again. However, it wasn’t a power. It was a regular attack, and Sarang could withstand it. She had purchased new equipment since their last battle.
Sarang turned around and shot electric arrows at the assassin. She had done so while putting some distance between them, so it wouldn’t be easy for the assassin to attack her now.
The elf started supporting her with his attacks. With the two together, the assassin died, but the vanguard closed in. The vanguard attacked Sarang, and her vision darkened.

If she can withstand the assassin’s attack, it’s an even fight.

Assassins had high attack stats, which meant that Sarang had to increase her defense. From the enemy’s perspective, Sarang had to die. Her powers were far too destructive.
Sarang died, and Junhyuk’s perspective changed to the allied tank. He was advancing toward the enemy castle.
How could the enemies stop the tank? For them to complete the quest, they had had to move as a group. Now, only the assassin could stop the tank, but could the assassin stand up to the tank?
Junhyuk could see the assassin with his own force of lizardmen in front of the castle wall. The allied tank went berserk against them.
The enemy forces attacked the allied tank, and the allied lizardmen followed him. The allied tank moved like a tank, killing the enemy lizardmen in his path. Soon, the assassin appeared. The allied tank stomped the ground, and the enemy lizardmen and the assassin focused their attacks on him, but the allied tank grabbed the enemy assassin by the neck with one hand.
The archers shot at the tank. Meanwhile, the allied lizardmen focused on taking down the gate. There were thirty allied lizardmen left.
Junhyuk thought about the allied tank’s powers. He could buff his defense, restrain and provoke enemies. He had used all of his powers while under serious attack. Meanwhile, the gate was getting attacked, losing fortitute quickly.
Once the assassin could move again, the archers and the assassin focused on the tank, but before the allied tank’s vision became blurry, the enemy gate was destroyed.
Junhyuk was astonished. The allied tank had absorbed every attack while taking full advantage of the lizardmen. It was an unexpected way to fight, and that tank was definitely the best at making use of the lizardman in that battlefield.
Junhyuk took a bird’s eye view of the battlefield. The enemies were buffed and moving, heading toward the second allied tower on the right path.
The allies might get there first, however.
The tank was now moving with the rest of the allies. He had a provocation power, which meant that when he triggered it, all enemy champions would attack him.
The tank could fight within the allied watchtower’s range, taking even more advantage of his power. Junhyuk had judged the tank from his record, and he had been wrong.
Junhyuk had had an incredibly hard time with Kaljaque, but the allied tank knew his limitations very well. He focused entirely on defense, and so did his equipment, so he didn’t have a lot of attack. However, he was great a leading lizardmen. For that reason, he would do well in single combat.
Sarang didn’t know much about what the tank was really capable of. His powers weren’t important, but how he used them was. The allied tank was a much better champion than the elf.
The three were moving together, so Sarang would realize the tank’s utility soon.
The enemies moved quickly. When the allies got to the tower, the enemies had already destroyed it and retreated, heading to the left path.
After they crossed to the center island on their way to the left, Junhyuk focused on their movements. The tank had told Sarang to head center, so she led them there. Using the Swamp of Despair, they could reach the path to the second watchtower.
Instead of following their enemies, the allies bypassed everything, heading past the destroyed enemy watchtower.
Junhyuk checked on the time they would take. The enemies still had to destroy a watchtower, but the allies would go straight to the castle. During that time, the buff would disappear, so the enemies would essentially waste their buff while the allies maintained the advantage.
The enemies reached the second allied tower, but the allies moved past no man’s land to reach the castle wall. The gate had been destroyed by the allied lizardmen, so the allies had the advantage against the enemy forces in place.
The enemy champions returned to their castle, but if the allies entered the castle and killed the golem before they spawned, the fight would be over.
The allies crossed the gate and entered, but the enemies had already spawned inside, and the champions brought out every lizardmen they had to protect the castle.
It wouldn’t be a good idea to save lizardmen at that point. They had a hundred lizardmen, but the allied lizardmen also numbered a hundred. This would be a team battle, and a large number of minions would be needed. Both sides had made the correct decision.
The enemy forces were only that much because the champions had had to return, leaving lizardmen on the battlefield. But, the enemies had a golem with them.
Still, the allies could win. Junhyuk smacked his lips then. He was thinking he should’ve made a real bet on Sarang’s team.
Sarang took the lead. She had the attacks with the longest range, so the enemies sent lizardmen after her.
They were trying to close the gap while the lizardmen distracted her.
The allied tank sent the allied lizardmen forward and took off running himself. In a scuffle, it was possible for the allies to lose track of the assassin.
Sarang’s eyes were fixed on the assassin, but she also managed to watch how the battlefield unfolded. Junhyuk could feel how tense she was. What would he have done if he had been in the same situation?
Junhyuk might have had many plans, but the enemy champions were different.
The golem stepped forward, responding to the lizardmen. The golem swept through the lizardmen, and the flow of the battle changed. The enemies were now hiding behind the golem. The enemy tank ran out from the golem’s back first, but Sarang couldn’t use her Thunderstorm on just him. The elf restrained the enemy tank, and Sarang ran forward.
The allies had to kill the enemy champions, so the allied tank ran next to Sarang. The enemies were within her range now, so she cast Thunderstorm. The enemies weren’t stupid, however. The assassin retreated, and the vanguard ran toward her. The assassin made it out of her range.
The Thunderstorm landed on the enemy vanguard. It was a critical hit, and the vanguard disappeared. The allied tank ran toward the golem.
The assassin chased after the elf, and when the elf attacked the assassin, he turned to smoke and closed in.
Sarang was about to use her electric blast on the assassin when the enemy tank rushed her.
She got pushed away, and the assassin stepped into her shadow. She could die to the assassin at any moment.
Sarang knew that too, and her heart pounded like crazy. Her heart was beating extremely fast, and when the blade entered her back, Junhyuk saw everything turn red.
Suddenly, Junhyuk got up, and Sarang turned around and cast Thunderstorm again.
The assassin got hit by it, also getting paralyzed by it, and Sarang shot electric arrows at him. The assassin died.
Sarang shot arrows at the tank. The tank was paralyzed, and Sarang distanced herself.
The allies attacked ferociously while the tank was paralyzed. The lizardmen joined in, and the enemy tank lost health in chunks.
Once the tank could move again, it went after Sarang, but she had healed herself. Using the distance to her advantage, she kept on attacking him. Her sparring with Junhyuk was helping her now. The enemy tank died, and the battle was decided. The golem fell, and the allies won.
Junhyuk turned to Ariel and asked,
She’s a hero now, right?

Ariel nodded.
[It’s shocking with how difficult it is to become a hero.]
