Legend of Legends

Chapter 423: Victory 3

The enemy attacks bounced off the force field, and Junhyuk quickly triggered a Spatial Collapse. The target was Epilen, whose stealth power made things difficult for the other allies.

The Spatial Collapse was set on Epilen’s head, who put both of his arms up to block whatever was coming and tilted his head back. The hero knew that a headstrike would result in a critical hit, and in this way, he defended himself from it.

The Spatial Collapse took both of Epilen’s arms, and those around him were sucked into the void.

The enemies had been bunched up while trying to attack him, so they had no means of escape. Junhyuk watched it happen and ran forward.

Junhyuk himself wasn’t affected by the Spatial Collapse. He maintained his gravitational perspective throughout the use of the power, so he swung Aksha’s Longsword at Epilen’s head.

The hero had lost 75 percent of his health with the Spatial Collapse, so after getting struck by the sword, Epilen faded away. The purple shockwave from the attack dealt additional damage to the surrounding enemies.

The champion that had been biting his leg had been sucked into the void, and Junhyuk struck her down with the Blood Rune Sword.

He was swinging his longsword at the two remaining enemies when, suddenly, a shadow appeared above him.

Boom!

The giant golem kicked Junhyuk, sending him back.

Meanwhile, the allies concentrated their attacks on the enemies bunched up by the Spatial Collapse. Rodrey, who quickly closed in, was the first to attack. He rained knives down on the enemies. That was Rodrey’s ultimate, and both Durandal and Alondo were within range.

Both of them lost 25 percent of their health. It seemed like Rodrey’s ultimate took a fixed percentage of the opponents’ healths, and it would do so to every enemy within range. The timing of the rain of knives was perfect, hitting the enemies that had already lost quite a bit of health to the Spatial Collapse.

When the void disappeared, Sarang shot electric blasts at the freed enemies. Both Durandal and Alondo were paralyzed. Gongon and Layla each attacked one of the heroes.

Enlarged, Gongon headbutted Alondo, and Layla attacked Durandal. Alondo was launched back, and Durandal got launched up. Thunderbolts dropped on Durandal. The hero had a lot of health, but he couldn’t withstand all of those attacks. While in the air, Durandal disappeared.

Junhyuk teleported and swung his longsword, which got stuck in Alondo’s head. Alondo also faded.

“He was mine!” Gongon shouted.

Hearing Gongon, Junhyuk smacked his lips. Gongon’s firebreath would’ve killed Alondo. Junhyuk had seen an opportunity and taken it, but he had no excuse for it.

The golem was trying to stomp Gongon, so Junhyuk widened the force field. After he covered Gongon and Layla, the golem stomped the force field.

Boom!

The force field sank into the ground, and the other giant golem walked over to it and kicked it.

Boom!

The force field was launched away, and the heroes inside went with it. Once the heroes regained their composure, they stood up. Only one enemy remained. Penslin was all alone.

Penslin was rushing toward him, and Junhyuk scoffed at the scene. The hero had attacks with really long range, but Penslin couldn’t win by himself.

When the force field disappeared, Penslin extended his hand.

Shadow hands rose from the ground and covered his entire body. Looking around, he saw that the allies near him were in the same state, also covered by hands.

Penslin had an area-of-effect restraint power, but Junhyuk did not care. To him, Penslin was still all alone. However, a giant golem walked over and slammed its two fists down at him. Junhyuk cursed instinctively.

He made to block the attack with his longsword, and light green powder sprinkled over his head.

Boom!

Junhyuk lost some health from blocking the hit, but he regained much more from the heal. He was out of danger thanks to Sarang’s power. Junhyuk turned to Penslin and watched as the hero readied an arrow. His longsword couldn’t reach Penslin.

Penslin released the arrow, and Junhyuk watched as it flew toward him.

Dealing with Penslin while fighting golems was very annoying, but it was something he had to do. Junhyuk blocked the arrow, but that triggered an explosion.

Boom!

The attack damaged a wide area, and Penslin readied another arrow, aimed at Rodrey this time. Rodrey’s attack range was thirty-five meters, and Penslin wanted that out of play.

Thunk!

Rodrey was sent ten meters back. It was Penslin’s push attack, and after he used it, he retreated. Because Junhyuk had used all of his teleportations, he could only watch Penslin try to reenter the castle’s force field.

That’s when Gongon used his ultimate.

Transformed into a mature dragon, Gongon flew high up in the sky, passing over the golems and Penslin. There, he hovered, beating his wings to stabilize himself, and breathed fire down at the battlefield. The flames covered Penlin’s entire body, and the hero started losing health quickly.

Gongon opened his mouth wide. Penslin had already used all of his powers, so Gongon kept attacking unimpeded.

Layla dodged the golems and dashed forward, throwing her katana at the hero. At the same time her katana hit Penslin, Gongon’s flames covered his body again.

Boom!

Penslin disappeared, and Gongon laughed out loud.

“I killed him!”

Layla’s katana had struck Penslin first, but she didn’t care. She picked it back up and turned to face the golems.

The undead minions clashed against the allied minions, and Junhyuk called some minions from behind the allied formation. To fight, he needed some of their support.

The allied minions moved forward toward the golems. The minions surrounded them, and the allies attacked them. The golems didn’t last long, crumbling soon after.

Junhyuk knew that as the giant golems fell, victory belonged to them. So, he started swinging his longsword wildly. The allied minions and the undead minions was mixed together, fighting, but Junhyuk’s longsword only struck undead minions.

Gongon, who was back to his regular self, rampaged through the minions.

The allied heroes attacked them, and soon all of the undead minions were purged. After that, Junhyuk ordered the allied minions to attack the force field and picked up the items dropped by the enemy heroes. He had killed three. Junhyuk picked up the three items and watched as Sarang picked up hers. Sarang had killed Durandal with her Thunderstorm, and she smiled at him.

“We’ve won!”

“We did!”

Their enemies were strong. They had many forms of taunts and restraints. Alondo’s speed was extremely high, and his skill with the scythe had created many problems for Junhyuk. Nevertheless, the allies were superior, and that was all thanks to their equipment.

Junhyuk looked at his new sword. It had been his first time purchasing a legendary weapon, and it had displayed its power well. He vowed to practice diligently with it.

After learning Aksha’s swordsmanship, he wouldn’t have any difficulty against other enemies’ styles.

The surviving minions destroyed the castle force field and cheered aloud. Junhyuk walked over to the gathered heroes.

“After studying the core, I’ll let you know what I find,” Gongon told him.

“Please do.”

Rodrey was smiling and scratching his bald head.

“I had heard that I would meet heroes just as strong as me. This was fun.”

The hero had just signed his contract, which meant that he was an overwhelming figure in his own dimension. Because of that, Rodrey was having fun in the Dimensional Battlefield.

Looking at Junhyuk, Rodrey said, “I need to get used to this place.”

The Dimensional Battlefield put a lot of restraints on people’s powers. Because of that, one had to learn their limitations and train accordingly.

Layla lightly swung her katana and said, “Halo says hello. If you continue to win, you’ll meet him again soon.”

“Yeah?”

Junhyuk and Sarang were missing from Artlan’s team, so he had been worried about them leaving a gap in that team. However, he had heard that Artlan’s team had acquired new item and that they were much stronger now. Artlan’s team was fighting in a higher tier, and it continued to win.

“Tell Halo I’m also eager to see him again.”

To become a legend, he might have to fight Artlan’s team. Junhyuk needed to remember that.

As they talked, the world disappeared around them. Closing his eyes, Junhyuk waited. The bright light pounded his cornea, and when the pressure faded, he opened his eyes again.

Ariel was there waiting for him.

[Congratulations on your victory!]

Junhyuk smiled at her.

“Thanks.”

Ariel said quickly, [You’ve received your reward of 200,000G. Are you going to bet on the Champions’ Battlefield?]

“Yes, I want to make a bet.”

As she opened the book, Junhyuk could see that Ariel was in a happy mood. He glanced over at the book and looked for the names he knew.

After a moment, Junhyuk found a team composed of Ling Ling, Jeffrey and Aleksei. Ling Ling had stayed an expert for a long time, and Jeffrey could summon a Ghost White Tiger, so he thought they would be able to win. Aleksei had just become a champion, but Junhyuk trusted him as well.

The analysis said that those champions were weaker than their enemies, but Junhyuk thought that they could still win. He wanted to bet on them, so Junhyuk decided to hold on to the amount for a new item and bet what was left. It wasn’t a lot.

The bet was a gamble, but he trusted those champions and he thought it wouldn’t be entirely up to luck.

Laughing, he told Ariel, “I want to bet 50,000G on this team.”
