Minota was now by himself and stared hard at Junhyuk. He had been winning against Artlan, and what had changed the flow of the fight was the death of the harpy and the buff it generated.
The buff gave them an additional attack. Artlan already had a strong attack, and when he was buffed, he was able to inflict even heavier damage, and now Minota had just a bit of health left.
Was it possible for him to escape from that place? Impossible. If Minota had to die, he wanted to take Junhyuk or another hero with him.
Minota made up his mind and snarled and stomped the ground. He dug hard into the ground and ran. Artlan saw him running first and stepped forward. He jumped and aimed for Minota, and that's when Minota hunched over and rushed.
He had been expecting Artlan's jump and was able to go through Artlan and appear right in front of Junhyuk. Junhyuk hadn't expected the rush, and now he had to face Minota alone.
Then, a black firewall appeared right in front of Junhyuk, and a fire orb appeared behind him. However, these things couldn't stop Minota's rush.
Junhyuk held tightly to his swords, and when Minota closed in, he squatted.
Clang, clang!
His swords were pushed back, and he used the momentum to lay on his back, but he still had to deal with Minota's stomps. He was extremely focused and, while laying on his back, he rolled to the side.
Minota realized Junhyuk had escaped his rush and turned around, stomping the ground.
Bang!
Junhyuk was getting up when he was hit and and vomited some blood while being bounced around by the shockwave. He felt like he had lost his arms from the hit and he rolled on the ground to escape the next stomps.
Minota's stomps created shockwaves that tore his armor and shook his internal organs. He was not dead, but he was seriously injured.
Minota smirked as he looked at Junhyuk. Artlan was running at him, but Minota was confident that he had enough time to kill Junhyuk.
Minota used his doppelganger skill, and one Minota headed toward Artlan while the other swung at Junhyuk. However, Junhyuk laughed at that.
Minota's swipe was his basic attack, so Junhyuk still had a chance. He dodged the paw and swung the Frozen Rune Sword. It only grazed Minota's wrist, but the wrist was frozen.
It wouldn't be much, but Minota's attack speed would decrease. Junhyuk turned around, swinging his Blood Rune Sword. He got lucky and slashed squarely into Minota's ribs.
The first blow had cut the skin, but the second blow had sliced Minota's muscles. However, he wasn't able to hit Minota's internal organs.
These were small wounds for Minota, and he kicked in response. Junhyuk blocked the kick with his swords.
Clung!
He was pushed back, and it felt like his arm was going to fall off, but his organs felt OK. That was because he had attacked with the Blood Rune Sword and regained some health.
Junhyuk was small, so even though the Blood Rune Sword's attack was weak, he was still healing quickly.
Minota got angry that Junhyuk had been able to block his attacks. Junhyuk was only an expert, and an expert blocking his attacks was unforgivable.
"Woo, woo, woo!"
He mooed like an ox, and Junhyuk's eyes widened. Minota was experiencing extreme anger. His attack speed and attack power would increase from then on.
Junhyuk could end up seriously hurt, and he still felt like his arm had been torn off.
Junhyuk breathed in deeply and looked at Minota, who swung at him. He couldn't block the attack. The damage would kill him.
Then, a lightning bolt hit Minota's eye.
"Aaaargh!"
"Hooah!"
Junhyuk swung his swords, slashing through the empty air. Minota still had his eyes closed, and this was a great opportunity.
His swords landed on Minota's thigh. Junhyuk was satisfied that he was healing himself and was debuffing his opponent at the same time, but Minota kicked at him again.
Clung!
Minota's attack was large. Compared to Warren, his attack speed was slower. He was also debuffed, so his speed had decreased, but he was just so big that it was impossible to avoid him completely.
He had kicked at Junhyuk and would continue to attack. He grinned, and Junhyuk grinned back at him. Junhyuk took a defensive stance with his swords, and Minota rushed at him.
Time is up.
Junhyuk teleported and stood in front of Vera. Minota rushed at the empty space, gritted his teeth and turned around.
Vera had the advantage at long range. She blocked his path with a fire orb and launched a fire spear at him.
Boom, boom!
He used his arms to block the spear and dodged the fire orb. Minota ran toward Junhyuk, stomping loudly, but Junhyuk just stared at him with a cool smile.
Minota had lost a lot of health. If Junhyuk attacked with Vera, he would be able to kill Minota. The other Minota had already been killed by Artlan.
He had to buy more time.
Minota closed in, and Junhyuk grabbed Vera and Sarang and teleported. They moved to a spot opposite of where Minota was standing.
Minota turned around quickly, and Artlan ran by Junhyuk and threw his saber. Minota decided to hit the saber with his horn.
Clang!
The horn blocked the saber, but Artlan was closing in quickly and jumped while Vera and Sarang attacked. Vera launched a fire spear, and Sarang launched her lightning bolt. Junhyuk just stared at Minota.
"Woo, woo, woo!"
He mooed and rushed toward Artlan. That was his last move. He was engulfed by black flames and died. Junhyuk sighed, relieved.
He was still not feeling well. Junhyuk was still wounded, but at least he was alive.
Artlan looked around and said:
"Take care of the minions first."
There were about thirty minions left. Their heroes had died, but they were still fierce and were running toward the group. Junhyuk ran to meet them.
He hadn't been completely healed when he started attacking with the Blood Rune Sword, but by the time all of the minions were dead, he had fully recovered.
The heroes did not help him get rid of the minions. Junhyuk and Sarang were enough to take care of all of them.
Junhyuk and Sarang decided to rest after the job was done, and Artlan and Vera walked over. Artlan gave Junhyuk a talon that was over eleven inches.
"Take it. It will be a useful synthesis item."
Junhyuk checked it out.
---
Gale Harpy Queen's Talon
---
Junhyuk looked at Artlan.
"This is amazing!"
"Right. Also, it's a synthesis item, but you don't have to synthesize it with a weapon. You could synthesize it with an ornament, and it would still be very effective."
"How much is this?"
"At least fifty thousand gold. It's a new synthesis item."
"Yeah?"
Junhyuk wondered if he should sell it.
"Are you going to sell it?"
"I think it might be better to sell it rather than using it for synthesis."
Fifty thousand gold was enough to upgrade his longswords and spend in other areas.
"Then, how about we trade?" Artlan asked.
"Trade?"
Artlan showed him his hand. He was wearing a golden bracelet.
"For that?"
"It's the Golden Knight Elder's Bracelet. It's part of the set. Ellic dropped it when he died."
Junhyuk gulped. It was hard to complete a set even for heroes, and as he got more items for his set, he would get stronger.
Junhyuk had meant to collect them, but didn't want to buy them because they were very expensive, and Ellic was carrying three.
"A set item costs at least ten thousand gold. Bebe will ask for that much," Vera said to the pensive Junhyuk.
"So, Artlan would sell the item for how much?"
"Fifty thousand gold. He offered you a nice deal!"
Junhyuk wondered about that, and then nodded. He still wanted the Gale Harpy Queen's Talon, but set items were so hard to get.
Junhyuk stared at Artlan hard enough to drill a hole in his face.
"OK."
Junhyuk pushed the talon forward. He had been able to kill the harpy because he had been lucky. Other people had decreased its health, and he had been able to deliver the final blow.
He wanted to make the trade.
Artlan took the talon and gave him the bracelet. Junhyuk put it on and inspected it.
---
Golden Knight Elder's Bracelet (Set item)
Attack +10
Having a complete set increases the power of the item.
Two-Item Set Effectiveness: Armor Piercing +35
---
It was the first time Junhyuk saw that option.
"What's this about set effectiveness and armor piercing?"
"Oh! It has that ability? How much?"
"It says thirty-five."
Artlan nodded.
"That's why he is called a legend. With only two pieces of the set, it already does that!"
"What are you talking about?"
Artlan crossed his arms and said:
"It's ignoring the opponent's defenses. If one has less than thirty-five defense, you should be able to inflict heavy damage."
"Then...?"
"Look at Vera. She only has her basic defense. She has incredible attack power, but her defense is weak. Heroes usually have basic defense of 50, but Vera specializes in attack, so she has an even lower defense."
"Correct. My defense is thirty."
"That means that I could attack you with success?"
Vera nodded.
"Out of the enemy heroes, Libya and Skia have thirty defense."
Junhyuk made a fist. The Golden Knight Elder's set would ignore the opponent's defense and inflict damage with just two items. Skia was hard to deal with, but Junhyuk would be able to fight now.
He was glad that he would be able to fight heroes head on.
Artlan looked around and said:
"It would be nice to synthesize now, but we are buffed, so we will go help Diane. If Halo joined up with Nudra, they won't need us."
They had killed three enemy heroes. The enemy watchtower now only had two heroes while their side had three.
Artlan and Vera would join Diane, and victory would belong to their side.
Junhyuk and Sarang would help them out some more.
"Let's go!" Artlan shouted, and the group moved quickly.
They had a two-hour buff. It was not a long time.
