Chapter 441 - Two Straight Wins 1

Chapter 441: Two Straight Wins 1
After Sarang and Rodrey joined the group, they move out right away. There were 295 minions, enough to decide the battle.

Let’s go,
Junhyuk said.
Elise wasn’t there, so Sarang had Gongon all to herself. She picked him up and hugged him. Gongon, who looked uncomfortable, said,
It’s been a while.


I have to let you go with Elise, but not now.

Gongon laughed and yawned heavily. They didn’t look worried at all. Everyone was accustomed to the battles, and they knew it would be nearly impossible for them to lose that round. Still, none of them wanted to die.

Did you drop anything important?
Junhyuk asked Sarang.



Only a basic item Elise had given me. Nothing major.


That’s a relief.

The allies had plenty of items made out of B-ranked monsters, and those items made by Elise were expensive, but the allies were selling them to purchase better gear. Sarang had been lucky in that she had lost a basic item, something not even expensive enough to sell.
The group arrived at the enemy castle and spotted two hundred undead minions in front of the gate. The enemy heroes were standing behind them. They seemed determined this time. All five heroes were waiting for the allies, and their champion was there as well, seemingly just as determined.
Junhyuk looked at the enemy formation and asked,
What do we do?

Looking at it, Sarang sighed and added,
This won’t be easy.

The two weaker heroes were on the wall. With how they were set up, the allies had to bring down the gate before they could really attack them. Penslin was the biggest problem. He had outstanding range and damage.
In the past, Junhyuk would’ve ordered the minions to attack first. The allied minions outnumbered the enemy minion, but Junhyuk decided to gamble to keep his minions safe.
He stepped forward and said,
Right now, I’m the only one who can kill Epilen. What do we do?


You kill Epilen before the real battle. Then, we use all of our powers before they can respond.



Junhyuk nodded and said,
OK. I’ll trigger a Spatial Collapse on Epilen and the others. You drop your Thunderstorm on the group. That way, we might kill one more.

Since Durandal was a tank, he would be able to survive, but the allies might be able to kill Alondo that way. Once two enemy heroes were dead, the allies would fight the others. They would be able to withstand attacks from Penslin and Dolorac with Junhyuk’s force field.
Junhyuk turned to the others and said,
If possible, we should save our minions. I’ll take the lead ahead of the minions. Any objections?

Layla shrugged and said,
The minions can only help us take down structures. They won’t be any good against heroes.


As you please,
he heard Gongon said and stepped forward.

We’ll kill the enemy minions first.

Junhyuk’s Spatial Slash had a range of seventy meters and was able to hit before any clash between forces. He had the same range as the archers on the wall.
Basically, he had the longest range among heroes, but his attack still had drawbacks. The enemies were too far from him, so he needed to draw them closer.
Junhyuk stood in front of the undead minions, outside of the range of Penslin’s attacks, and from there, he swung his sword.
Barely outside of Penslin’s range, he started cutting down undead minions, so the enemy heroes started to move. Even though he saw them coming for him, Junhyuk kept slashing undead minions. He thought that was all that he could do at that moment.


The undead minions were dying in bunches, so Alondo and Durandal increased their speeds. Epilen had activated stealth.
Junhyuk could feel Epilen heading toward him among the undead minions. The hero had thought he would be able to do something while in stealth, but Junhyuk could sense him.

First kill,
Junhyuk said, and Aksha’s Longsword extended. The undead minions in front of him raised their shields to block, but the sword’s blade disappeared, and the undead minions’ eyes widened.
Nothing happened immediately, so the undead minions rushed toward him. Suddenly, a massive shockwave expanded from within the undead minions’ formation.
Epilen had been in stealth mode, and the continuous, purple shockwave had come from his head. Epilen disappeared. Some enemies had distanced themselves from the shockwave. Junhyuk could have attacked them, but they had kept their distance.
Then, he remembered that the range of Alondo’s rush was significant. That’s when Gongon came up to him and asked,
Should I use my body?


Not yet.

Alondo could cover twenty-five meters with his rush, and Durandal could jump over twenty meters. Junhyuk’s range was greater. He imagined both enemies using their powers and thought that Alondo would be the most annoying one, so he decided to use his Spatial Collapse.

Sarang, let’s kill Alondo!


Sure!



The Thunderstorm had the same range as the Spatial Collapse, so if the two attacked at the same time, they would be able to kill the enemy hero. Alondo had high defense, but the allies would deal critical hits.
The enemy hero was riding his skeleton horse, zigzagging toward him, and Junhyuk smirked. The skeleton horse was incredibly skilled.
Junhyuk accelerated and analyzed Alondo’s path. The Spatial Collapse was Junhyuk’s ultimate, and Alondo knew about it, which was why he was zigzagging toward him. But, Junhyuk could use his acceleration to hit Alondo.
When Alondo got between the undead minions, Junhyuk set his Spatial Collapse. Although it was a long range attack, it was lethal at short range.
Alondo saw him move, but he couldn’t dodge it due to Junhyuk’s acceleration. The undead minions had also become a distraction for him.
The Spatial Collapse burst forth from Alondo. It was a critical hit. Right after, thunderbolts slammed against him, and Alondo was gone. Junhyuk turned to Durandal, who remained optimistic as he shouted,
All of you, get back!

Right now, their enemies were losing. Durandal had made a wise decision in getting the minions to retreat. They would be able to regroup and buy time that way.
Junhyuk scoffed at the enemy hero. Durandal’s health and defense were high, but once his powers came off cooldown, Junhyuk would be able to kill him.
Penslin was still in the way. Without Junhyuk, the allies couldn’t reach him from that range.
Junhyuk watched the enemies retreat. If he went to pick up Epilen’s item now, he would be attacked by Penslin, but he really wanted to do it.


He was faced with a dilemma.
Gongon asked,
What are you doing?


If I move in any further, Penslin will attack me.


Ten seconds is enough,
Gongon said.

You’re right.

Not worrying anymore, Junhyuk ran ahead. The allies followed behind him. When he looked at Penslin while running, Junhyuk saw the hero drawing an arrow.
He decided he would dodge the first attack. He thought about using a teleport, but Durandal was watching him closely, so he shouldn’t do it. Durandal could jump and taunt him, and the others would focus their attacks on him.
When Penslin saw Junhyuk was within range, he released the arrow.
Junhyuk gritted his teeth and shouted,
We have ten seconds!

He covered the entire allied team in the force field, and they all rushed forward. Then, he teleported twice with all of the heroes and appeared in front of Durandal. All of the allies attacked.
Gongon enlarged immediately and rushed toward Durandal. The enemy hero’s body was pitch black. Durandal meant to survive the allied effort.
Once they appeared, Durandal kicked the force field, but nothing happened to it. Durandal was mostly focused on defense, so everyone’s attacks did almost half damage to him. To kill Durandal in ten seconds, all of them had to attack. They also had to kill the enemy champion, who had transformed into a bear.
Aksha’s Longsword targeted Durandal. Ten seconds was a long time. With the protection of the force field, they managed to kill Durandal, but it had taken them seven seconds. After killing the champion, only one second remained of the force field.
Junhyuk had used all of his powers, and Sarang had used her Thunderstorm. Because it had taken them too long to kill Durandal, Junhyuk shouted,
Back up!

The enemy vanguard was on them, but while retreating, Gongon shouted,
I can take this! Layla and Junhyuk, destroy the gate. Minions, attack!

Gongon and Junhyuk could take the hits from the enemy damager, especially if the allied minions focused on taking down the gate.
Sarang and Rodrey had already started retreating, so Junhyuk, Gongon and Layla pounded against the castle. That’s when Junhyuk realized he had made a bad decision.
The archers on the wall targeted the three heroes, and the allies were also under attack from two enemy damagers.
Sarang and Rodrey came under attack while retreating, so the allied minions came to their rescue. They made a path through the undead minions for Sarang and Rodrey to pass. The two heroes kept massacring undead minions as they retreated, so the allied minions knew that the two heroes would help their cause.

Destroy the gate! Get over here!
Gongon shouted.
Sarang and Rodrey helped the minions open a larger path, and the minions gathered by Gongon. There was an open path in the middle of the undead minions now, and the allied minions were taking advantage of it.
