Chapter 551 - A Welcomed Face 3

Chapter 551: A Welcomed Face 3
After blocking Bater’s attack, Junhyuk distanced himself from the hero. Elise started attacking then. Her attack stat was inferior to Junhyuk’s, but it was still high.
If Elise damaged Bater little by little, even Bater wouldn’t be able to endure it.
Bater had used all of his powers, same as Junhyuk. Junhyuk had Elise’s buffs, and Bater had been debuffed by Junhyuk’s attacks.
Junhyuk joined Elise in attacking Bater, and the hero’s health started dropping fast. It was certain that Bater had a high defense stat. Junhyuk had to hit a critical to deal 9 percent of damage.
Bater was so skill that even when the hero was paralyzed, Junhyuk had a hard time hitting him with crits. However, there was a limit to what Bater could do by himself.
When Bater finally died, Junhyuk sighed, relieved.


Junhyuk had killed Regina, but Elise had been the one to deliver the final hit on Bater. Both of them had killed one each.
The items the allies carried were special. Junhyuk inspected the item he picked up and smiled. Regina had dropped a gear for pants. The gear increased health and defense, and they were items the enemies socketed to others.
Junhyuk took the gear and turned to Elise. She had picked up a belt.

This is nice! I got a belt, something I lacked, and it’s for a tank!


So, Elise…


What?


You need to learn hand-to-hand combat. If not that, you need to increase the response time of Moon Core.

Bater had shown that he could attack Elise through her attacks. Junhyuk was confident that he could do better than Moon Core, and the result of that had been the amount of damage that Elise had received.
He wanted to prevent that from happening again.
Elise smirked and said,
Then, I have to reprogram things. I’ll need research data. I need heroes as opponents. Can you help me with that?



Junhyuk needed to practice the Triple Yin Yang, but he agreed to her request.

When we get back, we’ll gather data.

Junhyuk contacted the others and told Sarang that he had met Bater.

Yeah? I wonder who’ll be on my side.


Probably Killa, and maybe Doctor Tula.

Sarang nodded heavily.

I’m nervous. I’m not so sure about this.


You can do it. However, the enemy heroes are stronger than before, so be careful.


I won’t let my guard down.

Junhyuk smiled and said,
OK. Tell Layla to be careful. We’ll go hunt buff monsters.




Sure. I’ll let you know what happened after the battle.


OK.

Junhyuk and Elise occupied the buff tower and went their separate ways, right and left. Just in case, Junhyuk took Eunseo with him. Meanwhile, the allied minions formed a defensive wall around the tower. The number of casualties had been low. One hundred and eighty minions had survived, and the heroes had killed the riflemen after their fight.
Junhyuk and Eunseo took down a buff monster, but he didn’t get any synthesis materials from it.
When he got back to the tower, the allies reported in.

I killed a bald man. It had been a long time since I’d met an enemy as strong as him.

Jean Clo’s defense was outstanding. It was good that Gongon had managed to kill him. However, Gongon looked serious.

Without Helen, I wouldn’t have managed it. His defense is far too strong.

Junhyuk should be the one to take on Jean Clo. His items were made to pierce through heavy defense.
Then, he turned to Sarang, who gave him a faint smile and said,
Layla was killed, but we killed them all.




How was it?


Their damage was absurd. Without my ultimate, I would’ve died as well.

Sarang had used her invulnerability, which meant the enemies were definitely strong. The main problem was Doctor Tula. The doctor’s tiny spiders could analyze the entire battlefield. There was no way to escape their surveillance.

Did anyone see Adolphe?


Not here.


Who’s Adolphe?
Gongon asked.
So, Junhyuk explained,
He was the enemy champion. He was equipped with a saw-bladed sword.


We haven’t seen him.

Nobody had seen Adolphe, which was a good thing for the allies if the champion wasn’t there, but Junhyuk wondered if that was the case.

If they are lacking a champion, that’s good for us. Layla died, but we are winning.



The five enemy heroes had been killed, whereas only one allied had died. However, he couldn’t let his guard down. He had been lucky to kill Regina early, otherwise she could’ve created serious problems for him.

Then, push for the next towers.


I can’t push without Layla.

After some thought, Junhyuk said,
We’ll hold the middle. Elise will stay here, while I’ll go join Sarang. If you see enemy heroes heading this way, contact me. We’ll tell Layla to head for the buff tower, and when she gets here, Elise will move with her.

Elise nodded, and Junhyuk contacted Layla to tell her the plan. Then, he took the portal in the direction of Sarang, leaving Eunseo and the minions with Elise.
Junhyuk met Sarang a moment later and smiled.

You’ve worked hard. Let’s go.


It’s been a while since I’ve been paired with you.


Right.

Junhyuk had been pairing with Elise to take the middle recently. When they reached the next enemy watchtower, they saw enemy heroes waiting for them.
Killa and Doctor Tulla were there, and they had brought riflemen. Junhyuk waved at them, and Killa pulled out her rifle and aimed at him, saying,
I heard that Bater was showering you with compliments!

Doctor Tula smiled at him and added,
You are still wearing my glasses.


I am. How did you know?

Doctor Tula touched his new pair of glasses and said,
This is a new model. I can analyze items with them.
The doctor’s eyes widened as he added,
And you are covered in fine items!


You really can see them.

Doctor Tula could see his items, but Junhyuk didn’t care.
He turned to Sarang and noticed that she seemed hesitant about something. He looked toward where she was looking and saw as someone appeared from behind the enemy heroes. Bater was pounding his fists together. Junhyuk smiled at him.

I heard you were coming here. This is a welcome party.

Bater had great items and powers, and Killa had long range attacks. Doctor Tula was also there. The fight would be two versus three.
Junhyuk looked at Sarang and said,
Kill Killa first.

The allies had to deal with the damager first. Otherwise, the damage they received would get out of hand. Killing Killa was their first task.
Junhyuk grabbed Sarang and teleported. As soon as he got close, he used his Spatial Collapse. The collapse was triggered on Killa, but it did not hit her. She lost 80 percent of her health.
Wanting to finish Killa, Junhyuk took off. At the same time, Doctor Tula released his spider web. Junhyuk teleported again, evading the web. He reappeared behind Doctor Tula, distancing himself from Bater.
Elise shot her electric blast, which paralyzed two enemies. As he ran toward Killa, Sarang cast Thunderstorm.
Crraaack!
The Thunderstorm was aimed at Doctor Tula, who got hit. Junhyuk attacked Killa, but the hero used her ultimate, so Junhyuk cancelled his attack and raised his force field.
Boom!
Junhyuk and Sarang were launched toward the bottom of the enemy watchtower. While the force field was up, the allies had to get out of there quickly.
Bater stood in their way, and Killa and Doctor Tula retreated.
Junhyuk teleported. It was his last teleportation. At the same time, he lengthened Aksha’s Longsword. As Killa jumped back to dodge, Junhyuk used his Dimensional Slash.
Junhyuk didn’t want to use all of his powers, but it was more important to kill Killa. The slash cut through her neck, and Killa died.
Next, Bater pounded Junhyuk’s force field with his fists. The force field got stuck in the ground, so Junhyuk slashed Bater.
The enemy hero defended himself and retreated. Junhyuk’s attention turned to Doctor Tula, who only had 50 percent of his health left.
The doctor defended himself with his mechanical spider legs and moved to join Bater. When Junhyuk had had Elise’s buff, things had been easier. However, the buff was gone now, so he couldn’t kill Doctor Tula with regular attacks.
Junhyuk had used all of his powers, and Sarang had used her main attack powers.
The enemies countered.
Doctor Tula fired a flamethrower at him, saying,
Focus on him!

Junhyuk protected Sarang from the flames while the riflemen shot at the allied heroes.
Each attack from a minion dealt 1 percent of damage to heroes. Junhyuk dodged some of the bullets, but he was hit twice.
There were over a hundred riflemen around them.

Attack, minions!
he shouted, and the allied minions rushed forward toward the riflemen. Bater was rushing at him, so he pushed Sarang aside.
Bater punched him hard.
Boom!
Junhyuk was launched away, rolling across the ground. Doctor Tula and Bater focused on Sarang now.
Junhyuk stretched Aksha’s Longsword and attacked the enemies in his way, running to rejoin the fight against the enemy heroes.
He had used all of his powers, so it wouldn’t be easy to get there on time, but he couldn’t just stand there.
