Page 126Chapter 125: Scuffle 2
Translator: - - Editor: - -
During a scuffle, one had to take care of oneself. Junhyuk had stepped forward beyond his means to ensure the allied victory and was grabbed by Jean Clo. If Jean Clo hit him with a normal attack, he might survive. Junhyuk had high defense and increased health. However, Jean Clo had used one of his powers, so Junhyuk was sure that he would die.
Jean Clo was about to chokeslam him against the ground. Junhyuk's mind was racing, sure that he would die. When suddenly, an electric blast hit Jean Clo, leaving him paralyzed. Junhyuk quickly swung the Blood Rune Sword and the Frozen Rune Sword at the same time and cut Jean Clo's fingers.
Jean Clo's hands started bleeding, and the hold weakened. Junhyuk landed on ground and dashed toward Vera and Sarang. He couldn't teleport, and his running speed had its limit.
Jean Clo started moving again and rushed toward him. Junhyuk tried dodging to the side, but Jean Clo's arms were too long for him to escape them. He grabbed Junhyuk by the legs, and the world spun around him.
He felt like he knew what it would be like to ride a giant swing. Then, a fire spear flew in, hitting Jean Clo hard. However, even after he was hit, Jean Clo kept spinning and threw Junhyuk toward Killa.
Killa had the superior attack stat. Even without using her powers, she could easily kill Junhyuk. He was so scared that his hair stood on end, but he kept thinking that it was not his time to die.
Killa aimed the barrel of her gun at Junhyuk, and he realized that the cooldown for his teleportation power was over. He teleported.
Junhyuk appeared above Jean Clo's shiny bald head, about forty-three feet up. He landed on Jean Clo's head and hopped over, leaving a footprint on his scalp. Jean Clo was furious and attempted to grab Junhyuk, but he teleported again, appearing where Vera and Sarang were.
Jean Clo was huffing and puffing and dashed toward him. Then, Artlan showed up behind Jean Clo. After killing Regina, he thought about killing Killa, but he decided to save Junhyuk and Sarang.
Artlan slashed Jean Clo's back, and Jean Clo gave up on Junhyuk after receiving the wound. He turned around and bearhugged Artlan. His thick arms wrapped around Artlan, holding him in place.
Jean Clo ignored Diane and Vera's attacks and moved toward Killa, still holding Artlan as he ran.
Killa had the longest range, finding it easy to aim at someone who couldn't move, and Jean Clo was much stronger than Artlan.
Vera ran forward and raised a firewall in Jean Clo's path, but he ignored it and kept running. After that, five arrows hit his hamstrings, and although Jean Clo had a lot of health, the shots stopped his movement.
He opened his arms by reflex, and Artlan attacked with something like a sword dance. Jean Clo knew the damage would be high, and Artlan repeatedly stabbed his ribs.
The sound of gunfire echoed.
Bang!
Killa had used one of her powers for the shot, and the bullet pierced Artlan's skull. He had resisted multiple attacks, but a single bullet had killed him. Jean Clo threw Artlan's body away, pulled the arrows out of his legs and used his ultimate.
Three energy rings surrounded his body, blocking the magic and arrows directed and him, and he started healing quickly.
The blood-colored light covered Jean Clo's body, and he said, "That bitch!"
He gritted his teeth and looked at Sarang, who was suppressing him. Two blue energy rings had disappeared, so it was time to finish everything.
"Follow me!"
Jean Clo ran forward, attempting to quickly closed in on Vera and Diane to attack them both.
However, they couldn't allow him to get closer to them. Killa had her long range, and Jean Clo wanted to attack them at close range while Killa gave him cover and used the distance to her advantage.
Vera's magic destroyed the last of Jean Clo's blue energy rings, and Diane's arrows flew toward his thigh, hitting him and slowing him down. However, Killa got closer and started attacking.
Bang!
The sound of gunfire came first, and then, Diane was hit on the shoulder. She readied her shot, but her attack speed decreased. Meanwhile, Jean Clo rushed and his movement speed increased. With his rush, he could ignore his injuries and run faster.
Diane was very close to him, and one of her arrows hit his stomach. It went all the way in, leaving only the feathers visible. Still, he grabbed her by the neck.
Junhyuk had to protect her, so he slashed at Jean Clo's ribs, but the wound wasn't deep. He was in the middle of attacking again when he heard another gunshot.
Bang!
The bullet hit his shoulder, and he was thrown on the ground. His left shoulder was smashed to pieces, blood pouring out of it.
Before Jean Clo chokeslammed Diane, Vera's fire spear hit him on the head, and he staggered. Diane shot him again at close range, but another sound of gunshot rang out. Her defense was lower than Junhyuk's, and the bullet took a toll on her.
It smashed her collarbone, and she started bleeding. Then, Jean Clo slammed her against the ground.
Boom!
Diane disappeared, and Junhyuk watched it all. Vera's fire orb appeared in front of Jean Clo and exploded.
Boom!
Jean Clo had lost a lot of health, and Sarang suppressed his ability to heal. Vera's magic and Diane's attack chipped the rest of his life, and he didn't survive.
Jean Clo fell to the ground, and Vera ran past him. She had to get closer to Killa.
Her damage output was similar to Vera's. Vera dealt higher burst damage, but Killa could damage continuously. So, Vera ran ahead and prepared to cast her magic while Killa attacked first.
Bang!
The rifle took time to reload. After she fired a shot, Vera got closer. For Killa, every shot was important.
Vera ran and twisted her body, but the shot still hit her shoulder. The pain traveled through her body from the bullet's hole, but Vera kept going. She finally had Killa within her range.
Vera cast a fire orb and launched a fire spear first. Killa jumped and pulled out her pistols. The fire spear failed to hit her, and Killa landed in front of Vera and started firing.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Vera was extremely injured, and Junhyuk became very nervous. She could die, and he had used all of his powers.
Without his ability to teleport, he couldn't get close and he couldn't protect her from the bullets with his body.
Sarang shot an electric blast, seemingly using her item's power. Killa was paralyzed in front of Vera, and she raised a firewall underneath Killa's feet. The flames started burning Killa, and Vera cast a firebolt. It was just her ordinary attack and not one of her powers, so she failed to put an end to Killa.
Killa started moving again and raised her pistols at Vera. At that point, they had both used up their powers, so the only thing left to do was to brawl. Killa had the advantage, and the situation turned from bad to worse.
Shockwaves shot out of Killa's pistols.
Boom!
It was her ultimate, and the shockwaves pushed Vera back. She holstered her pistols and pulled out her rifle, positioning herself. Her goal had been to push Vera away.
Bang!
The sound of gunshot reverberated, and the bullet hit Vera in the middle of her forehead. Vera started bleeding and disappeared. Junhyuk took a hold of Sarang and started to run.
Killa had used all of her powers, and they were out of her range as well.
Sarang looked back, and Killa picked up an item dropped by Vera and started to follow them. She wanted to end it all and she was getting closer. There was a significant difference between their speeds.
Junhyuk looked at Sarang.
"Keep running!"
"I'm slow, and she is closing in."
"But I can't survive on my own!"
"I know, but don't give up."
Sarang looked him in the eyes and said quickly, "Big brother, I too am an expert. I have one more life."
"You do, but it's only one more life. I don't want you to feel what it's like to die. Don't give up."
Sarang closed her eyes.
"OK. Don't die, no matter what."
"OK."
Junhyuk pushed her back, and she started running with all her might. She was faster, and the distance between them was increasing.
He looked back and saw that Killa was still getting closer. However, he was still out of her range. If she stopped to aim, he would get farther away from her.
Killa started speeding up. She had powers and she could use her jump at any moment. If she jumped, Junhyuk wouldn't be able to escape her. Still, the cooldown for Junhyuk's teleportation was almost over, and he was faced with a dilemma.
Should I run or should I face her?
Without killing her, he couldn't get away, but he didn't have enough confidence to face her alone. It would be an one-on-one fight, and she could kill him with one shot.
If he continue to run, Sarang could get much farther away from there.
Killa smirked and jumped. She was holding her pistols in her hand, and the teleportation's cooldown ended. She had been injured by Vera's firewall, but Junhyuk decided to run.
Bang, bang, bang!
He teleported, and she changed to her rifle. He teleported again, appearing inside the forest, and ran.
Killa changed targets and aimed for Sarang, who was still within range of the rifle. If she used her power to shoot, Sarang would certainly die. Junhyuk knew he had to kill her, but he was too far away, and there was no way to attack her.
Killa was about to pull the trigger, and Junhyuk was overcome by emotion and swung his sword at her, still well out of range of her.
