Chapter 66: Counter Jungle 1

They all quickly followed Artlan into the enemy forest. Junhyuk caught up to him and asked:

"So, where are we going?"

Artlan smiled and said:

"Right about now, the heroes we killed should have reincarnated, and there is one place they will all go to."

"Are you going to take the opponent's buff monster?"

"We shouldn't just take it," Artlan said, beaming. "Before our enemies kill the buff monster, we will kill them, and then take the buff."

Speed was the most important thing. Junhyuk ran faster, and Artlan said:

"Speed up!"

The minions behind them huffed and gasped as they ran faster. Junhyuk ran next to Artlan and looked at Sarang. She wasn't having a tough time following them.

"Are you OK?"

"I fine. I have increased movement speed."

He looked at her again. She wasn't running but jogging and easily not lagging behind.

"You'll do well in PE!"

"I'm not an athlete and I don't want to be one. Running is enough for me."

Junhyuk laughed and said:

"That's good."

They ran for an hour and arrived at a place where they could hear loud explosions and the enemy heroes yelling.

"Minota! Push this way!"

"Right."

Boom!

When they heard the explosion, Artlan signaled with his hand for everyone to quiet down. The minions stayed where they were, and only the four moved.

Artlan, Vera, Junhyuk and Sarang moved next to a clearing. There was a fierce battle taking place in the open space.

There was a creature with woman's face and ample breasts floating in the air. It was the monster. It had two wings instead of two arms and only one leg. It stayed in the air and dove to strike. Its attack was so powerful that the heroes retreated each time.

"A harpy?"

Artlan inspected the harpy and said:

"They will catch it soon."

"What do we do?"

"They are not too hurt because there are three of them, but they are all wounded in some way. We should use our strongest attacks."

Artlan looked at Vera, and she nodded and took out her staff.

"They are not all in one spot. I can't be accurate."

"It's OK. I'll get them in one place."

Artlan looked at Junhyuk.

"When they concentrate their attacks on me, you know what to do."

"I know."

Even for Artlan, it was dangerous to deal with three heroes at the same time. Artlan couldn't take them all since they were attack-focused heroes.

Junhyuk nodded, and Artlan moved quickly. He went after Warren, who was taking the harpy head on.

When Warren discovered him, it was too late. Artlan had jumped and was coming down on the werewolf, swinging his saber at Warren's head.

Warren tried to block with his arms.

Slash!

He withstood the attack, but he lost an arm in the process.

"Argh!"

Artlan smiled a little and swung the saber in his left hand. Warren moved away quickly, but still got slashed on the arm.

Artlan was putting a lot of pressure on Warren, and Minota and Ellic rushed him from the left and the right. The two meant to pincer attack Artlan in the middle.

Artlan didn't retreat and instead lifted his sabers high. Minota and Ellic were closing the gap when Artlan was surrounded by ivory-colored light.

Clang!

The two clashed against the force field at the same time, and Artlan didn't move. Minota and Ellic staggered from the collision.

Artlan threw his saber, and it flew toward Warren. There was no time to dodge, so Warren lifted his arm to block.

Slash!

The arm was cut off, and the saber continued flying and struck Warren's chest. They hadn't seen the sabers deal so much damage before, and Warren gritted his teeth. All of a sudden, Artlan was already on his tail and beheaded him.

Warren went down easily because he had been fighting the harpy and couldn't deal with Artlan's attacks, and Artlan's attack power was far greater than before, allowing him to slice Warren's arm off.

Warren had withdrawn to heal himself, but he had relaxed too much while watching Minota and Ellic attack Artlan, so he was killed.

Artlan turned around after beheading Warren, and Minota and Ellic went after him once more. They weren't worried about what had happened to Warren; they wanted to kill Artlan before Vera joined the fight.

He was covered by the force field, which lasted ten seconds, but he had already spent four seconds, so he would pressure them for six more seconds.

The two were attacking him at the same time when Artlan saw the harpy flying above them. The harpy was seriously wounded. He could take her first.

Artlan ignored them both and launched his saber. It struck the harpy in its chest.

"Squawk!"

However, the harpy didn't die from his attack. It flew toward him, and Ellic and Minota attacked him simultaneously.

Artlan didn't fight off their rushes. His job was to hold them in one place.

He leaned forward and used the force field to block Ellic's hammer. The hammer was deflected down, and Minota tried to kick him.

Artlan leaned back and dodged Minota's kick. He looked up at the sky and smiled.

It was time for the meteor shower.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Ellic and Minota were together in one spot, and the meteors hit them hard, decreasing their health, but the force field disappeared.

"Die!"

First, Ellic attacked him with the hammer.

Bang!

The hammer generated a shockwave, and Artlan was pushed back. That's when Minota rushed at him, and Artlan jumped at the harpy.

He had only meant to escape from Minota and floated next to the harpy.

Artlan landed, and Ellic ran over, swinging his hammer.

Thung!

Even in that situation, Artlan turned to face Ellic and deflected his attack, but the shock was too much to deal with.

Artlan was pushed back, and Ellic rushed again.

Bang!

Artlan was getting irritated when Minota also rushed at him. The harpy was only after Artlan since he had attacked her.

He was missing one saber, and it was difficult for him to deal with Ellic and Minota at the same time even though both of them were hurt.

Suddenly, a firewall burst out in front of Artlan. Minota and Ellic couldn't lose him. They had to kill him before dealing with Vera. They understood the situation and went through the firewall after him.

Junhyuk watched the events unfold. It was better for him not to get involved, but he couldn't just stand there.

He thought about how to help Artlan and looked at the harpy flying in the sky. It had a saber stuck to its chest. It had been attacked before they got there and had lost a lot of health.

"OK."

He jumped at the harpy as it went toward Artlan. The harpy was in the air, and it was not a distance Junhyuk could cover just by jumping.

So, he used spatial relocation to teleport above the harpy's head and swung his Frozen Rune Sword.

Slash!

He cut the harpy, and its skin froze with ice. The harpy slowed down, and he used the Blood Rune Sword to stab its neck.

He didn't know how the harpy had withstood the saber in its chest, but now it had a sword in the back of its neck and it was bleeding black blood. Suddenly, he heard a soft whisper:

[You've killed the Gale Queen Harpy. For the next two hours, your attack power will increase by 33 percent. If you die within those two hours, you will lose the buff to your opponent.]

The buff description was simple, but he couldn't understand how it worked at first. However, there was a white circle around his body.

The harpy fell, and her dead body started disappearing. Junhyuk picked up the saber and threw it to Artlan. He took it and swung it.

Slash, slash, slash!

Artlan's attack speed was astounding when he used his dual sabers, and he was now buffed.

Artlan was swinging his sabers multiple times, and a wind that dealt additional damage launched out from them after every couple of attacks. Artlan swung very fast, and Ellic was losing.

Ellic retreated, but Minota tried to step on Artlan. He didn't chase after Ellic and, instead, retreated from Minota's attack.

From behind Artlan, a fire spear flew in.

Boom!

Minota staggered backward, and Ellic rushed by him toward Artlan.

Bang!

Minota's and Ellic's continuous attacks bounced Artlan backward. Then, a fire orb appeared in front of him. Minota and Ellic were in a hurry, but they couldn't just ignore the fire orb.

When they saw the fire orb, they both turned back. They were winning against Artlan, but now he had Vera with him, and it was not easy to chase him further.

However, Junhyuk was standing alone.

Minota and Ellic both ran toward him, and Junhyuk laughed a little and ran toward them. He had to pass through them to get to Vera.

As Junhyuk ran toward them, Minota used his rush. Junhyuk ignored Minota and focused on Ellic. They were both attacking him just like they had attacked Artlan simultaneously.

Even if he teleported, Ellic was too close, but spatial relocation was only thing he could use at that moment. If he took on Minota's rush, he would be killed.

Junhyuk teleported and passed by Minota, but Ellic lifted his hammer. Ellic was waiting for him, about to slam his hammer down against him, and Junhyuk gritted his teeth, waiting for the impact. Suddenly, an electric blast flew in.

ZZZCRAK!

Ellic stiffened and couldn't move. Sarang's magic stopped Ellic, and Artlan ran toward him. Ellic had lost his strength, and Artlan could take him.

Junhyuk swung his sword without hesitation.

The Blood Rune Sword clashed against the gorget* covering Ellic's neck.

Chink!

The defensive power of Ellic's armor was certainly high. It looked like a piece of paper, but he had only managed to scratch it. Junhyuk continued his attack with the Frozen Rune Sword. As he swung his sword, a sharp wind launched from the blade and hit Ellic.

Crack!

The gorget broke, but at that time, Ellic was able to move again. He saw Ellic's eyes right in front of his nose, and it felt creepy. Ellic swung his hammer, but Artlan was one step faster and swung his own saber.

Thluck!

Artlan's saber was stuck to Ellic's head. Junhyuk watched Ellic's blood splatter all over and moved aside. At that moment, Minota swept across the spot where Junhyuk had been standing. He had escaped in the nick of time.

Artlan shouted at him:

"Get back!"

Junhyuk had already planned to go back. He got behind Artlan, held fast to his swords and exhaled.

He always felt that way when fighting heroes. His heart beat like crazy, and he could hear it thumping.

Junhyuk smiled.

"Filthy ox, you are all alone."
