Chapter 312: Superiority 1
The enemies ran toward him, and when Junhyuk did the same, they frowned slightly. Kraken was ahead of the incoming champions, but the octopus did not use a power.
If Kraken had used a power, Junhyuk would’ve felt grateful. However, his attention was mostly focused on one enemy, Kilraden. Kilraden’s attack stat was greater than the others, and if Sarang was attacked by him, she could be killed in an instant.
Junhyuk watched Kilraden, ready to use the Spatial Slash whenever the assassin came within range. But, Kilraden seemed to be aware of his power’s range.
Kraken came within range, followed by Nid. Junhyuk was focused on Kilraden, but as soon as Kilraden came within range, he disappeared.
Seeing that, Junhyuk’s eyebrows twitched. Meanwhile, Kraken closed in quickly, but Gongon had been watching, smiling at it all.
“Buy more time.”
Kilraden’s hiding power didn’t last long, so the allies would have to buy more time. The assassin couldn’t cover fifty meters while hiding.
Junhyuk and Sarang stopped walking and watched as Kraken and Nid closed in. Then, Gongon stepped forward from the allies’ formation. As both sides approached each other, Junhyuk looked around. Kilraden was hiding, but where was he?
Junhyuk sighed and said, “Let’s just be sure.”
The force field was a big help. During that team battle, Junhyuk wanted to kill an enemy first to start the battle off in a good note, so he raised his force field around himself and dove forward.
“We’ll kill Nid first!”
“Sure!”
He and Sarang could combine their attacks to get rid of Nid. Knowing that, he released the Spatial Slash, which penetrated Nid’s neck. The champion lost 55 percent of his health at once, and then the extra attack triggered, dealing another 27 percent of damage to Nid’s health. The elidra only had 18 percent of his health left.
The Thunderstorm was not needed anymore, so Sarang attacked Nid with a regular attack. An electric arrow flew toward him, and Nid tried to use his rushing, flying attack power. However, right as Nid was about to take off, Sarang used an electric blast against him as well. That was Sarang’s combo. The electric blast was faster than the electric arrow, so they both hit him at the same time.
Nid and Kraken were both paralyzed, and the attacks took the rest of Nid’s health. As he faded, they heard the soft announcement.
[Sarang killed Nid.]
Junhyuk looked at Kraken, who had been standing next to Nid. The Spatial Slash’s shockwave had swept through the octopus, taking 30 percent of its health. Kraken had also been hit by Sarang’s electric blast and was now paralyzed.
Gongon ran toward Kraken and transformed himself. He was going to finish Kraken as quickly as possible, so he rushed. The rushing Gongon slammed hard against Kraken.
Normally, when Gongon attacked Kraken, Kraken would lost about 30 percent of his health. However, this time was different. The dragon took away 45 percent of Kraken’s total health, and Junhyuk stared at him in surprise. Then, Gongon turned around and kicked the octopus, pushing Kraken back.
Gongon inhaled deeply, about to use his firebreath. All of his attacks flowed very naturally.
However, when Kraken got hit by Gongon’s back kick, the octopus spewed black ink, and Gongon got blinded by it.
Before any other attacks landed on the dragon, Junhyuk ran toward him, meaning to put Gongon inside the force field. However, Kraken grabbed Gongon by the legs, wringing him. The damage wasn’t great, but the attack felt violating.
Junhyuk teleported right up against Gongon, touched him, and teleported back. However, in that short period of time, Kilraden appeared and stabbed Sarang in the neck.
The time limit for his hiding power had ended, so Kilraden had teleported to attack her, dealing massive damage. It was a critical hit, and Sarang lost 70 percent of her health at once. Her defense was lower than Junhyuk’s, and she also didn’t have any items that increased her health.
Junhyuk reappeared next to her, and now they were all within the force field. Kilraden had failed to land a combo
The assassin ran toward Kraken without thinking twice, and Sarang healed herself along with Gongon. The dragon was back at full health, and Sarang regained 50 percent her health, so her health was at 80 percent.
Her eyes widened slightly. Kilraden’s attacks dealt massive damage. A single attack had taken away 70 percent of her health, so two hits would kill her.
Junhyuk looked at her and said, “Kilraden has already teleported once, but be careful. His teleportation’s range is shorter than mine, but he can shut you out.”
“I understand.”
Hearing the answer, Junhyuk stepped forward.
“Kraken is almost dead.”
Gongon smirked.
“I’ll kill Kraken.”
Gongon ran forward. He had been wrung, so he wanted to kill the octopus and put an end to that situation. He was also still transformed, so killing wouldn’t be hard.
As Gongon approached, Kraken launched itself at him.
Gongon blocked with claws, but he still got damaged. While Kraken headbutted Gongon, Kilraden appeared behind the dragon and stabbed him.
Gongon lost a lot of health at once, 30 percent, and Junhyuk ran toward him. Kilraden looked back.
The force field was disappearing, so Kilraden allowed Junhyuk’s attack to hit him. As the attack was about to land, the assassin countered.
The counter took off 30 percent of Junhyuk’s health. Junhyuk’s defense and health had increased, so the damage he received had decreased. After that, Junhyuk parried Kilradens attacks while mounting his own attacks.
Kilraden had expected that from Junhyuk, so the assassin teleported and escaped. He had finally used all three teleportations.
Junhyuk looked for the champion, and the assassin appeared behind Sarang, stabbing at her with his dagger.
The strike left her with 10 percent of her health, and Kilraden tried to combo, but she dove forward and rolled past his dagger, which slashed right through where she had been standing.
Sarang ignored the dagger slashing through the empty air and extended her orb toward the champion. An electric arrow flashed out of the orb. Kilraden saw it heading toward him, but suddenly, lightning bolts crashed on top of him from the sky.
Craaaack!
Kilraden lost 60 percent of his health from a single use of her power, and he also ended up paralyzed by her electric arrow, which had a small chance to inflict the status on her enemies.
Noticing the champion paralyzed, Sarang kept firing electric arrows at him nonstop. Meanwhile, Junhyuk closed in on them and slashed Kilraden’s neck with his sword, passing him by.
Kilraden started bleeding from the neck, and Sarang moved to join Junhyuk while continuing to shoot electric arrows at her enemy. When Kilraden could finally move, he tried to get away, but Junhyuk stabbed him through the ribs, a critical hit, and the assassin lost the rest of his health.
[You’ve killed Kilraden and earned 3,000G]
As he watched Kilraden fading, Gongon was breathing roughly. Junhyuk turned to look at the dragon and saw Kraken was also fading.
[Gongon killed Kraken.]
Gongon looked at the octopus’ fading body on the ground and scoffed at it. When Junhyuk walked over, Gongon looked up at him.
“Our battle skills are superior.”
“No, not really.”
Kilraden had attacked Sarang. Without the force field, she would have been killed in an instant. If she got hit by a combo, she would die.
Gongon looked at her and said, “Don’t focus on your powers too much. You need more equipment, especially defensive equipment.”
“Sure.”
Sarang hugged Gongon again, and Junhyuk watched them.
“By the way Gongon, your damage has increased! What happened?”
Gongon spoke nonchalantly, “I upgraded my equipment. I didn’t have a lot of money, so I only did the basic upgrades, but they were enough to increase my damage.”
Gongon had already used the Champions’ Battlefield reward stones and gotten his equipment to +9. Then, he got some upgrade stones from Bebe and upgraded his equipment by 20 percent.
Gongon could now deal more damage than Junhyuk, and as the dragon spoke as if it were nothing, Junhyuk felt jealous.
Gongon extended his short claw forward and shouted, “Let’s go! To kill the ten-thousand-year-old centipede.”
Junhyuk sighed and took the lead. They didn’t know much about the centipede, but he had the highest defense among the allies.
—
They had gone to complete their quest of killing a centipede, but when they looked in front of them, they frowned.
“This look really dangerous!”
At the end of the forest, there was a clearing with five anthills. They did not know where the centipede was, but they felt as if the empty space was sucking them in. They also felt like if they did enter the clearing, they wouldn’t be getting out.
Junhyuk and Gongon were both thinking.
“We should check it out first.”
“How?”
“Go in.”
“Who? Me?”
Gongon answered calmly, “Of course! You have your teleportation.”
“Even then…”
Gongon smirked and kicked Junhyuk’s back.
“You! Gongon!”
Before he had a chance to get angry, Junhyuk had fallen into an anthill. There really was no need to be angry at Gongon. As he looked ahead, Junhyuk saw a monster within the hill. Because he could teleport at any time, he stood there and stared at the centipede.
The monster was five meters long and could hardly be called a centipede. Seeing it drooling, Junhyuk used his Spatial Slash without hesitation. The monster opened its maw, and the Spatial Slash went in perfectly.
There was soft tissue inside the monster’s mouth, and the Slash hit the right spot. It also generated the blood red shockwave.
The monster vomited blood and collapsed.
Junhyuk got on the monster’s back and heard a soft announcement.
[You killed a thousand-year-old centipede. After you kill four more thousand-year-old centipedes, you’ll encounter the ten-thousand-year-old centipede.]
The voice had explained the quest’s conditions, but Junhyuk frowned when he found out he had killed an easier centipede. He wasn’t sure if he could kill one of them without the Spatial Slash, and he had to kill four more.
Junhyuk looked back out. Gongon and Sarang were outside the anthill, so he told them, “I have to kill four more thousand-year-old centipedes.”
Gongon said, “Get out here quickly so we can try the next hole.”If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know < report chapter > so we can fix it as soon as possible.
