Chapter 31: The Fall 3

Translator: - - Editor: - -

The force field had disappeared long ago. If he was hit by the icy wind, he would surely die. Junhyuk moved to his left through spatial relocation.

It's was a huge relief that the cooldown time for spatial relocation was so short, and he was able to use it. When his surroundings changed, he began to run.

He knew all about her power, having encountered it before. For five seconds, Libya was able to turn and continue using her ice storm. It had a long range, and he thought her power was really deadly.

There was a reason as to why Libya was in charge of the enemy heroes' attack.

Libya turned toward Junhyuk, and the ice chased him. When the ice storm hit the minions, they all froze.

Artlan, Halo and Nudra ran toward Libya, and the archers showered them with arrows. They all ignored the rain of arrows and tried to kill Libya, trying to put an end to her deadly power.

However, Junhyuk could get hit first, before they had the chance to stop her.

He ran with all his might and saw Vera running toward him. Vera looked at him and shouted:

"Get on the ground!"

Hearing that, Junhyuk threw himself belly first on the ground. Vera stood in front of him to block the ice storm.

Clack, clack, clack!

The strong ice wind was freezing her quickly. Libya's seemingly unending ice storm finally ceased, and Vera was covered with white ice all over.

Diane loosened an arrow toward Lybia. The ice storm was Lybia's ultimate power, and it was over, so she was very tired.

Suddenly, Diane's arrow hit Lybia in the middle of her forehead. Because of the shock, Libya's head turned, and a running Artlan slashed her with his saber.

It looked like both attacks had delivered the final blow together.

Diane notched another arrow and shouted:

"Move aside! We need to take care of the archers and destroy the castle's gate!"

Artlan, Halo, and Nudra move out of the range of the archers while Diane shot her arrows with flashy speed.

Previously, Diane had worried about the heroes popping up from somewhere, but now, she was just aiming at the archers, and the difference in speed really showed.

Junhyuk made sure Libya was dead and got up. In front of him stood Vera, covered in ice.

"Vera."

Junhyuk moved toward her, mumbling, when her body shook. The ice broke, and Vera looked at him:

"I did not do a good job."

"What?"

Junhyuk couldn't understand what she had meant. If she hadn't protected him, he would've been dead.

Vera walked to him and tapped his armor.

Crack, crack!

The armor had been frozen and broke into bits. Vera explained calmly:

"Libya's ice storm decreases defensive power. Things like armor freeze and break into pieces. Her ice storm is deadly."

Junhyuk saw the pieces of his broken armor and looked at Vera.

"Are you OK?"

"I'm OK."

Vera was shivering slightly. She was not in good condition. Then, Artlan went over and asked:

"How are you?"

Vera laughed a little.

"They don't have any heroes. They will fall soon enough."

"Take care of yourself. We don't have time to go back."

"Sure."

Artlan took Halo and Nudra and ran toward the enemy minions. Minota had run wild, and Libya had used her ice storm. They both killed every minion except for Sarang, who had stayed behind.

Diane killed every archer, and the remaining minions were taken care of by Artlan, Halo and Nudra.

Junhyuk pulled something out of his chest and gave it to Vera:

"You should take this."

Vera caressed Junhyuk's head.

"It only helps novices recover. It has no effect on us. It won't help me, and I don't need it." Vera hugged Junhyuk's shoulders and continued: "Their strategy was to kill you first. It means your powers are that dangerous. A high level rank force field becomes even more dangerous when you are able to transfer it. They have to kill you first in order to have a chance in the next battle."

Junhyuk swallowed his own saliva, and Vera smiled and said:

"They were trying to kill you while we tried to save you. You are valuable to us."

Junhyuk asked carefully:

"Do I have to come back next time?"

"Of course."

"Next time, they will target me from the beginning."

"Yes."

Vera tapped Junhyuk's head lightly with her own.

"When you return, you should train harder. If possible, activate another power."

"Can I activate another power?"

"How far your powers will go or if your powers will stay as is, that I don't know."

Junhyuk realized he had to activate more powers. Next time, he would be their primary target, so he had to come up with a plan.

"Whew."

While he let out a sigh, the gate was destroyed. Vera signaled for Sarang.

"Let's go in."

"Yes."

An astounded Sarang went up and joined Junhyuk and Vera. He put on a bitter smile and said:

"Let's go in. The heroes haven't had time to reincarnate, so it will be over soon."

"Are you OK?"

Junhyuk checked himself out. His armor had broken, and his muscles were showing, but he was not hurt. Without Vera, he would've been just like his armor, in pieces, but somehow he was OK.

"I'm fine."

He entered the castle with Sarang. In front of the castle, there was a giant golem. The golem was guarding the entrance, and he must've been sixteen feet tall. He had both defensive and offensive powers suited to his size.

Even a hero could not fight a golem one-on-one. He was that powerful. Yet, the heroes ran toward the last obstacle, the golem.

Artlan took the lead. He ran first and shouted:

"Force field!"

Junhyuk ran after him, measured the distance and created a force field.

When the force field covered Artlan, the giant golem swung its fist down. The fist was blocked by the ivory force field, and Artlan swung his saber.

Artlan had the golem's attention, and the other heroes attacked it. Halo aimed at the golem's arm while Nudra kicked it instead of using his power.

Clang, clang!

Diane's arrows were very useful in dealing with the giant golem, but ten seconds was not that long.

Artlan shouted at Nudra:

"Nudra!"

Nudra was waiting for the right moment and front kicked the golem, pushing it back. They concentrated their attacks, and the golem fell over.

Artlan ran toward the golem. It swung its fist down, but Artlan dodged it and swung his saber.

Clang, clang!

Artlan swung his saber so that he could block the golem's limbs while Halo aimed for its head, but the golem was not easily fooled and headbutted Halo.

Bang!

The damage from the giant golem's attack was different. Halo staggered, and the golem kicked Artlan, throwing him in the air. Artlan rolled on the ground, got up, and Vera shouted:

"Step aside."

Nudra stepped back, and, soon, black fire flame meteors fell from the sky.

Boom, boom, boom!

The meteors did not fall over a wide space, but were concentrated on the giant golem. Wrapped in giant black flames, the giant golem fell, and Artlan shouted:

"Let's destroy castle!"

Artlan swung his saber, and a blue membrane showed up around castle.

The castle was protected by a blue protective force field, but when the blue force field was destroyed, the castle itself would collapse. That force field needed to be destroyed. It would decide the outcome of the battle.

Junhyuk stepped forward holding his two-handed sword. The force field around the castle was huge, and Junhyuk's attack would have little effect on it, if any, but he wanted to help out and return home.

Sarang also used her energy bolt.

The force field slowly cracked, and they continued to attack. Then, something ran toward them from inside the castle.

Warren was the one running, and Nudra stepped forward. Nudra front kicked Warren, and Warren dropped back while Diane shot her arrows at him.

Warren tried to block the arrows with both arms to protect his weak spots, but Diane was aiming at his legs. The arrows landed on Warren's legs, and Artlan launched himself against him.

While falling, Artlan swung his saber, and Warren blocks it with his claws.

Chh-Clang!

Halo went up and stabbed Warren's side with his sword.

"Howl!"

Warren howled, and Vera's fire spear hit him in the head. Warren staggered, and Artlan sliced his head off.

There were five heroes. A reincarnated hero facing them alone was an act of suicide. Within the castle wall, Ellic looked outside and saw Warren get killed. The five heroes were destroying the castle's force field, and Ellic swung his hammer at the ground, and his eyes beamed with madness.

Even a crazy Ellic knew there was nothing he could do at that moment. He looked at Junhyuk, who was hitting the blue force field.

"You."

With his hammer, Ellic pointed to Junhyuk with a cold grin on his face.

"Next time, I will kill you for sure."

Junhyuk swung his two-handed sword, and the blue force field shattered.

Boom!

The blue protective field was gone, and the castle collapsed. Ellic disappeared, and Junhyuk made up his mind:

Next time, he would activate another power. If he did not, he might get killed by Ellic's hands.

Artlan stood behind Junhyuk and said:

"A person who doesn't stop will take the lead."

Junhyuk turned around, and Artlan looked down at him and said:

"Work hard. Hard work does not tell lies."

Artlan turned around, and Junhyuk made up his mind again: He would work harder, just like Artlan had told him, and he would survive no matter what.

Vera waved at him while disappearing, and Sarang walked toward him and shouted:

"Bro, what happens now?"

Junhyuk looked at her and smiled.

"We go home."

"Really?! But you are not disappearing."

Sarang was disappearing as well. Junhyuk talked to her softly:

"It's a good thing you survived."

"Big bro! How do I contact you…?"

Sarang shouted in desperation as she disappeared. Junhyuk saw the white light. It was time to return.
