Chapter 282: Can't Lose This Round 2

As he watch the transformed Gongon punch, Junhyuk raised the force field.

Clang!

The force field also covered Gongon, who laughed at the situation.

“We should’ve used this already.”

Junhyuk’s force field had been capable of blocking a legend candidate’s attack, so he trusted it, and the force field blocked the reflected damage.

So, for the next ten seconds, the allies had to deal as much damage as possible. Junhyuk did not hesitate to use his Spatial Slash. The strike dealt a lot of damage, but it was also reflected, hitting his own force field.

That scared Junhyuk. Thinking of it, he had never been hit by his own Spatial Slash. If he were to be hit just the right way, he couldn’t even imagine what kind of damage it would deal him. It was that kind of power.

Even with the Spatial Slash, Junhyuk was unable to break down the reflective force field. He frowned a bit, but that’s when Gongon punched it, and the force field shattered.

Sairan’s eyes widened, and Gongon flying knee-kicked her chin.

“Aaah!” Sairan screamed aloud. The sound resonated in the air, bouncing Gongon off again. While attacking Sairan, Gongon had left Junhyuk’s force field, so he returned to it quickly.

Seeing Gongon enter, Junhyuk asked, “Was it a shockwave?”

Gongon had already lost more than half of his health. The hatchling had gone against Sairan’s force field for a while and received all the damage reflected to him before Junhyuk raised his force field.

Junhyuk looked at the hatchling, and Gongon said calmly, “I’m OK.”

After the sound barrier around Sairan disappeared, Junhyuk turned to her.

“Let’s go.”

He ran at her, and Sairan opened her mouth again.

“Aahh!”

Junhyuk timed his jump. Her soundwaves covered the area around her horizontally, but they couldn’t cover the space above her to where he had jumped. So, Sairan raised her head to look at him, and that’s when Gongon moved as well.

Untransformed, Gongon’s large foot smashed against Sairan’s chin.

“Aahh!”

She wasn’t using a power. Sairan was simply screaming. But Gongon didn’t stop there. He spun around and smacked her up his tail.

Crush!

Without even being able to scream, Sairan fell to the ground. After that, Junhyuk stabbed her in the chest with his sword. Her force field was extremely powerful, but she didn’t have a lot of health herself.

Junhyuk picked up the shell around her neck. Hatma wanted to hear the voice contained within it. Even though Junhyuk was curious about it, he decided not to listen because if he did, and the shell didn’t work again after that, things would become complicated. So, he held it in his hand and looked at Gongon.

“Let’s go back.”

He started walking, and Gongon ran up to him and hopped on his neck. Junhyuk sighed and ran ahead with Gongon on his back. They were headed to where Hatma was located.

—

Things went just as Junhyuk had expected. They arrived, but their enemies were already there, gathered on the island and waiting for them. So, he contacted Aktur.

“Where are you?”

“I’m hiding in the forest. Are you here, yet?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll come out then.”

Junhyuk saw Aktur appearing from the opposite side of the island and scowled.

“This isn’t good.”

“Aktur, you got scared and went over there?”

“Don’t talk like that to a fellow ally. A team’s discontent only serves the enemy’s purpose.”

Gongon glanced at Junhyuk and said, “You are so passionate in this round.”

“I can’t lose this round,” he told Gongon calmly.

“That’s for sure. They are giving away free items, and they are supposed to be rare!”

“They are supposed to be magic or rare!”

“Then, mine will be rare!”

Junhyuk shook his head at Gongon and said, “You were born lucky.”

Gongon was born a dragon and with a silver spoon in his hand.

Junhyuk looked at the enemies ahead and murmured, “What should we do?”

He wanted to complete the quest and kill the enemies, but penetrating the enemies’ defenses and completing the quest wouldn’t be an easy task. He was unsure, but Gongon stepped forward.

“Let’s go.”

“It won’t be easy.”

“But we can’t stay here and waste time.”

Junhyuk sighed and followed the dragon. He was already aware of how strong their enemies were, so he said, “Gongon.”

“What?”

“Go straight to Hatma.”

“Is that even possible? They can teleport as well.”

Junhyuk took a moment to think and said, “We have to check on something.”

“What?”

“On whether the assassin can teleport with others. Let’s complete the quest. You block for us.”

“OK.”

Junhyuk took Gongon and ran over the stepping stones. Their enemies didn’t think they would run toward them, so they hesitated, but he ignored them and kept running.

While running, he watched the enemies’ responses. With the teleportation on the table, he couldn’t simply jump over them. Once Junhyuk and Gongon had closed in, Kraken used its tentacles.

The other enemies kept waiting for him, so he jumped anyway, going over them all at once. All he had to do was control the angle of his jump, and it became a good option for getting over obstacles.

Junhyuk landed in front of Hatma and quickly handed the shell to the sorcerer.

Hatma smirked, taking it.

“You really are something.”

He put the shell against his ear and hummed. Meanwhile, the enemies were approaching Junhyuk, and his eyes narrowed.

Junhyuk saw the enemies running toward him and realized something.

“He can’t teleport with others.”

He turned back to Hatma, and Gongon shouted, “Shit! Hatma! Give us the reward!”

Hatma frowned a bit as he looked at the dragon.

“You are interrupting my entertainment!”

“You can’t be like that right now!”

Hatma smiled and pulled both of his arms free from the roots. As he raised them, he shouted, “I call on you, Thunder. Hatma says that you will move faster than the wind and strike sharper than lightning.”

[The High-Ranking Sorcerer’s buff is applied. For one hour, your movement speed and your critical hit rate increase by 10 percent. When you deliver a critical hit, you will deal 30 percent in additional damage. If you die, the enemy will take the buff.]

Junhyuk was buffed, and he smiled. His enemies had been unaware of his ability to jump, so he had seized the opportunity. At that point, Aktur joined the allies from behind them.

Junhyuk smiled at the enemies on the island.

“Now, we can have a proper team battle.”

The prospects of the team battle still didn’t look easy. The enemies had an extreme ability to deal damage, but now the allies were buffed, so Gongon stepped forward.

“We have the buff. Let’s wipe them clean.”

Junhyuk laughed at Gongon’s statement and stepped forward with confidence and strength.

“Then, I’ll start, he murmured and, from behind Gongon, used the Spatial Slash. Their enemies were unaware of Junhyuk’s range, so they were approaching the allies calmly, and Junhyuk aimed for Kilraden, who had an absurd capacity to deal damage.

Kilraden was walking behind Kraken, very relaxed, when the Spatial Slash cut through his neck. With the buff in effect, Kilraden lost 72 percent of health all at once, and the shockwave generated from the strike swept through Nid and Kraken, taking 30 and 22 percent off of their healths respectively.

“Long live the buff,” Junhyuk murmured, and Gongon dashed toward his enemies with all his might. Kraken saw the hatchling running toward them and moved first. Kraken was a tank, and it wouldn’t allow others to approach them easily.

Kraken hit the hatchling, pushing him off, which meant that Kraken would still be able to deal with them, even buffed.

“Aktur! Deal with Kraken!”

“Right!”

Aktur launched his bandages at Kraken’s legs and pulled it toward him. As the octopus moved away, he dropped Gongon, who took the initiative to fly off into a headbutt.

Nid decided to swing his saw-bladed sword while Kilraden hid. However, Nid had made the wrong choice.

Boom!

Gongon smashed against Nid, who lost a chunk of his health. The hit wasn’t a critical, but it still took 35 percent off Nid’s health, leaving him with 35 percent left.

Nid howled.

Gongon was paralyzed, and the enemies mounted their attacks. Nid focused on Gongon, but the real problem wasn’t Nid’s attacks. Kilraden, who was the real problem, appeared behind the hatchling suddenly and stabbed him.

Nid was about to follow up with an attack on Gongon when Junhyuk touched him and teleported away. As he and Gongon retreated, they heard Aktur’s screams.

“Aaaargh!”

Junhyuk turned toward Aktur and saw Kraken twisting him like a wet rag. Sighing, he scoped out the battle. Gongon had been paralyzed and lost 45 percent of his health in the process, leaving him with 55 percent. Aktur now had 40 percent left.

The initial Spatial Slash had been a success, but the allies started quickly getting beaten a short while after it.

He looked around unable to see Kilraden, but Nid was running toward him. Junhyuk knew there was nothing good about a missing Kilraden, but Nid spun like a top, heading his way. That’s when Junhyuk grabbed Gongon, who was about to step forward, and raised the force field.

Clang!

Nid bounced off, and Kilraden did the same from behind them. Looking back, Junhyuk murmured, “He was hiding.”

Junhyuk looked at Gongon while keeping an eye on Nid. Kilraden had one more teleportation, so he wanted to kill Nid first.

“Kill Nid first!”

“OK!”

Gongon wanted to put an end to the fight, so he transformed and inhaled deeply. Surprised, Nid tried to get out of the way, but the hatchling was faster. The ferocious flame covered a semi-circle in front of Gongon, and Nid with it.

Maybe it was because the critical hit rate had gone up, but the firebreath took all of Nid’s health at once. Junhyuk knew that when transformed, Gongon’s critical hit rate went up, and the dragon was already buffed.

When Kraken lost another 30 percent of its health, Junhyuk realized again how scary Gongon’s damage was. Junhyuk thought things were going well, and in any event, they had killed Nid.

However, when he turned around, he saw Aktur, and Kilraden appearing right behind him.

“Watch out!” he shouted, but it was of no use.

Aktur was stabbed with the dagger on his neck, and because he had already lost a lot of health fighting Kraken, he couldn’t stay up anymore.

[Kilraden killed Aktur.]

“Kilraden!”

Junhyuk ran with Gongon toward his enemy, but while closing in, the force field disappeared, and Kraken swung its tentacles at both of them. Transformed, Gongon dodged the tentacles, punching Kraken as he closed in.

The hatchling hit Kraken, and Junhyuk looked at Kilraden. Aktur was gone, and he had to deal with Kilraden quickly.

When Kilraden saw him running, he disappeared. Unable to know where Kilraden was, Junhyuk spun around swinging. Junhyuk had focused on his back, but Kilraden appeared above him and stabbed him with the dagger. Junhyuk felt himself lose 25 percent of his health, but felt relieved about it.

It was a critical hit, but the damage was lower than before, which meant that the counter and the hidden attacks were the only ones that dealt more than that.

Realizing what was happening, Junhyuk swung at Kilraden, but the assassin had been waiting for the attack and activated the counterattack.

“Shit!”

Unable to block or dodge the counterattack, Junhyuk lost another 40 percent of his health at once.
