He was sure of one thing: if that continued, Vera's head would be crushed. Therefore, Junhyuk instinctively extended his hands, and just before Vera's head was about to hit the ground, an ivory-colored light surrounded her, and the enemy hero was pushed away.
Boom!
Vera landed, leaving a hole on the ground. She felt dizzy, but was OK. Then, Halo ran from behind the enemy and used his flash attack to slash him in the ribs.
The enemy was holding his ribs in pain, and Halo also entered the force field, launching his sword up in the air right after that. The enemy wanted to fight, and after that exchange, he looked at Junhyuk.
"Bater was wrong."
Bater had told them the force field was Artlan's ultimate, making them all think the same, but now was not the time to argue about it. The important thing for Junhyuk was to save Vera. If Vera died, no one was certain of what would happen to Halo, so he had taken action.
The enemy pounded his chest with his hand and pointed at Junhyuk.
"What is your name?"
"Tell me your name first."
Junhyuk wanted to buy time for Halo's Rain from Above to be completed, and Vera steadied herself and touched her earring. She was about to deliver a powerful blow. He was stalling for time, and his enemy smirked. His enemy had to be extremely confident in his defense and health.
"My name is Jean Clo. I heard about your power. Is it immunity to magic and physical attacks?"
He looked relaxed, and Junhyuk stared at him blankly.
"I'm Junhyuk Lee. By the way, why aren't you running away?"
"Escape?" Jean Clo smiled coldly and lifted three fingers. "You only have three seconds left."
"It's enough time to kill you!"
Jean Clo winked at Junhyuk.
"Don't worry. I won't die and I will kill you."
Junhyuk felt like what Jean Clo had said might come true, but Vera scoffed at that.
"Stay where you are if you can!" she said.
Vera created a fire spear, but the spear looked twice its usual size. Junhyuk looked at it with surprise. However, Jean Clo used his arms to block it, so she created another fire spear and set a fire orb behind him. The fire orb was also twice its normal size.
Jean Clo blocked the fire spear, but stepped back, exploding the orb.
Boom, boom!
The explosions were at a different level from before. Junhyuk knew it just by seeing it. Her magic was now much stronger than before. It was only an earring, but her magic was totally different.
As Junhyuk watched, he felt nervous. Jean Clo might not die after all. So, Junhyuk grabbed Sarang and placed her behind Vera just in case something happened.
Suddenly, a huge firewall rose from under Jean Clo. The black-flamed firewall was also different from before.
He had a hole on his stomach and was being roasted. At that point, he should die. However, that would happen only if he didn't have something like Warren's powerful regenerative ability. That's when Junhyuk realized that Jean Clo might have something similar.
"Be careful! He might regenerate!"
Vera readied her magic, and Jean Clo laughed from inside the fire.
"Ha-ha-ha! Too late!"
After shouting that, Jean Clo walked out of the fire. He had three blue energy rings turning around his body that were regenerating his health.
"Shit!"
Facing a tank like Jean Clo with that ability was like facing a disaster. The fire spear flew toward Jean Clo, but the three blue rings blocked it.
Boom!
The spear exploded and took out one of the rings. Halo took out his sword and ran in, trying to attack him, but the blue rings blocked him as well. Jean Clo had unbelievable regenerative capability, but the rings also blocked attacks. It was too much to believe.
A fire orb exploded on Jean Clo, but it too was blocked by the last ring.
He rushed toward Junhyuk, and closed in quickly. That was one of his powers. He covered sixty-five feet in the blink of an eye and grabbed Junhyuk's neck, lifting him up. Jean Clo was thirteen feet tall, and Junhyuk was well off the ground.
He wanted to grab Junhyuk by the neck and slam him against the ground. If he did that, Junhyuk would surely die.
"We will meet again, friend." Jean Clo said.
He was certainly dangerous. Two heroes were attacking him from all directions, but he ignored them and went after Junhyuk, an expert, because he knew about Junhyuk's power.
Jean Clo started spiking Junhyuk against the ground, but just before Junhyuk hit it, he teleported away.
Boom!
Without Junhyuk, Jean Clo's hand crashed against the ground.
"Friend, you have interesting powers."
Junhyuk saw Jean Clo heading toward him again and gritted his teeth. Jean Clo was even more dangerous than Minota. He could fight against Minota, but this guy grappled you and, when he grappled you, he finished with deadly skills.
Two heroes were attacking him, but he was completely focused on Junhyuk. Minota was crazy, but this guy was even crazier.
Even a tank had a limit, so Junhyuk ran toward him. He had a chance. Jean Clo saw him running, and his steel jaw dropped with laughter.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha! You are a man!"
Junhyuk ran toward him, and Jean Clo attempted to grab him in response. Looking at the huge hand, Junhyuk ducked. The hand grazed his helmet, and Junhyuk swung the Frozen Rune Sword. Like any tank, Jean Clo displayed amazing defense. His sword had an attack of sixty, and it was combined with the Pure Golden Knight Elder set, but he was only able to leave a skin-deep cut that bled a little. Still, Jean Clo was now debuffed.
Jean Clo made another attempt. If he captured him, Junhyuk would die. Junhyuk's hair stood on end, and he dodged the hand.
"Oh!"
He swung both swords at Jean Clo, setting the second debuff, and Jean Clo extended both arms. At that moment, Junhyuk realized that he didn't have what it took to fight him and teleported away, leaving Jean Clo to hug himself. Jean Clo could have killed Junhyuk, but when Junhyuk teleported, Jean Clo smiled.
"You can teleport twice?"
Even while being attacked, Jean Clo was analyzing Junhyuk's powers. He didn't mind dying once. All he wanted was to find out as much as possible about Junhyuk's powers.
Then, a gaping hole appeared on Jean Clo's chest, made from the back. Jean Clo vomited blood and raised to fingers to point to his own eyes and then point to Junhyuk. That was his way of saying that he would be watching Junhyuk. After that, he started disappearing.
"Interesting, friend. Next time, I will kill you."
He didn't sound like he was joking. Minota and Ellic were crazy, but he was different. He analyzed Junhyuk's powers and, even though he was in danger, he still tried to kill Junhyuk. In future battles, Jean Clo would be focused on getting rid of him.
The allies had quickly advanced to the next level, but these guys were prepared.
"I'm going nuts."
Halo swung his sword in the air, cleaning the blood off, picked up the dropped item and walked to Junhyuk.
"Are you OK?"
"Yes."
This time things turned out fine, but he couldn't be sure about the next time. Halo shook his head.
"This guy is dangerous. If he takes the lead in the next fight, I won't know what to do."
Halo was rarely despondent.
"We need to do something," Vera said.
"The Crimson Earring, when did you buy it?" he asked, looking at her earring.
"I had no choice. I wanted to increase my firepower."
Halo nodded heavily. These new enemies were powerful, and victory was not guaranteed. They had only fought Jean Clo and found their individual powers to be lacking. Also, they still had to fight in a team battle, so victory was not guaranteed. They were dangerous.
Halo looked at Junhyuk and Sarang.
"You two, just stay safe this time."
"We can't do that," Junhyuk said, and Halo patted him on the shoulder.
"That's right. You have a big part to play," she said, placing her arm around him.
Junhyuk sighed.
"We should take advantage of this victory. Where are we going now?"
"We'll go to Diane."
Vera tapped his back.
"Let's go!"
Vera took Sarang and ran joyfully. Halo sighed and looked at Junhyuk.
"We advanced. Everyone will get new items. Don't worry too much."
They would get better equipment, so he might not have to worry.
"You got money?"
"Don't worry. Everyone had been preparing to get equipment," Halo said and patted Junhyuk's shoulder. "Just continue the good work."
Junhyuk nodded. He had contributed to the victory and to their survival. No one had to tell him to do it. If he didn't, he would get killed.
He focused his attention on Sarang. If he died, she would die too and he wanted to prevent that from happening.
The group moved quickly as they headed to where Diane was still waiting. They had to join her and destroy her enemy. Right now, they were winning and they had to make good use of that advantage.
They ran in earnest and reached Diane. Her opponent was a woman wearing leather boots with two pistols and a rifle on her back. The allies were being pushed back because of the enemy riflemen. The allies had pressured the enemy heroes, but if the minions were pushed back, they would lose their positions.
Junhyuk looked for the enemy hero. She saw the allied heroes and went to her tower. On the tower, she holstered her pistols on her waist and pulled out her rifle.
"Watch out!" Diane shouted.
He was not sure what she meant by that and just stared when the rifle went off.
Bang!
The bullet screamed through the air and hit Halo's shoulder. Halo had dodged just in time. If he hadn't, his head would've been shot.
Junhyuk looked back at the enemy hero.
"This range is crazy!"
