Chapter 382: Close Match 2

With things like that, Junhyuk couldn’t find out where they were. He contact Layla and Zareto one after the other and told them what the enemy was doing. They should be extra careful.

After he talked to them, he took a moment to think. If he left that place, he wouldn’t be able to trigger the next buff. However, if nobody went center, and he simply reapplied the buff, he would just be a dog wagging his tail.

Junhyuk sighed and made his decision. If both enemy heroes went right, there would be a total of four. There were three allies on that path, so if the allies retreated to a tower, they could survive.

However, on the left, things were different. Zareto was alone there, so if the enemies attacked, they would pierce through him.

Junhyuk wanted to stop that from happening, so he contact Zareto and Layla again. He told Layla that if she saw any enemies, she should just retreat. On the other hand, he told Zareto to wait until he got there.

As for the fourteen minions that survived, he told them to wait by the buff tower, and that if they saw enemies heading their way, they should retreat to the watchtower.

Then, he went down the mountain.

Junhyuk had already gone through Nightmare Mountain once, so he picked up speed. He was alone and unhindered by the minions.

On top of that, he still had the buff. He ran as fast as he could and muttered, “I’ll kill the buff monster on the way and help out Zareto. On the way back, I’ll go see Bebe.”

Junhyuk wanted to find out the prices of the items he was carrying, but more importantly, he wanted to help Zareto. If the enemies were moving toward him, Zareto would be in danger.

He changed directions, and headed toward where the buff monster was. There, he saw an empty clearing. Junhyuk was sure that nobody was hunting the buff monster, so he used his spatial sense and felt for it.

There was a Ghost White Tiger surrounded by ten ghost tigers.

He could sense them, so he walked carefully. He had his spatial sense and could sense their presence from far away, but what could the other heroes do?

As he closed in, he thought of something and swung the Blood Rune Sword from his back. He used a Spatial Slash on the Ghost White Tiger.

The Ghost White Tiger didn’t know he had a spatial sense, so it had left its neck wide open. Silver blood splattered everywhere, and a blood-colored shockwave expanded from the point of impact.

Three ghost tigers were injured and turned visible.

When he saw them, Junhyuk ran forward. The Ghost White Tiger ran toward him. It had survived the Spatial Slash, and that astonished Junhyuk. When he got close, Junhyuk teleported and stabbed the injury made by the Spatial Slash on the Ghost White Tiger.

Splurt!

The Ghost White Tiger howled loudly, but the strike was a critical hit. While the Ghost White Tiger fell, Junhyuk swung his sword left and right. While slashing the ghost tigers, he heard Ariel’s voice.

[You’ve killed the Ghost White Tiger. For the next five hours, you’ll have an invisibility buff. When you attack, your invisibility will fade. If you get within twenty meters of an enemy hero, that hero will be able to sense you. If an enemy kills you within five hours, you’ll lose the buff to that enemy.]

Junhyuk thought that the buff was very useful. The enemies would be able to sense him within twenty meters, but he had plenty of long range attacks.

From his perspective, his first strike could kill the enemy. Smiling, he killed the remaining ghost tigers. After he had killed them all, he started running again, heading to where Zareto was. After five seconds running, Junhyuk turned invisible.

He looked at his hand, and it looked translucent. There was a silver magic circle underneath his feet.

After an attack, he would turn invisible again after five seconds of inactivity. He couldn’t stay invisible while fighting, but if he kept his distance, the ability would be of great help to him.

Junhyuk hurried toward the left path.

When he got close, he saw Zareto using a watchtower to his advantage and he hid himself in the reed field. Junhyuk did not have any minions with him, so he kept quiet and watched the fight.

“He didn’t come this way.”

Gongon wasn’t there. Zareto was fighting a hero who was three meters tall from head to tail. The hero had four legs as well as wings.

Junhyuk didn’t know about the hero’s powers, but since he was fighting Zareto, he had to be very sturdy. He analyzed everything. From his position in the reed field, the enemy was forty meters away.

Junhyuk contacted Zareto.

“I’m here. Get that hero’s attention.”

Zareto stepped forward. He only had forty-five minions left. There were also thirty-two gorillas present.

As he stepped forward, the lion-faced hero ran toward him. When he did, Junhyuk stepped out of the reed field. Neither Zareto nor the enemy hero held back their strength.

The two clashed against each other, and Junhyuk watched what happened.

Zareto used the long horn on his head to headbutt his enemy. The manticore hero was paralyzed, but it only received 15 percent of damage. Seeing the manticore paralyzed, Junhyuk ran to close the gap. Once he was within twenty meters, he used his Spatial Slash.

His bladed flashed on the manticore’s skull. That single blow took 65 percent off of the hero’s health.

Roooar!

The manticore roared and turned his head in Junhyuk’s direction, but he teleported and sliced the manticore’s head. It was a critical hit, and the head bounced on the ground.

Junhyuk appeared on top of the manticore’s back and swung his swords at the gorillas. It only took a short while to take care of them.

Once he killed the gorillas, he looked at Zareto.

Zareto was a little surprise and simply stared at him.

“Did you know he was a tank?”

“He was different from the tanks I know.”

Artlan’s team didn’t have a tank, but Junhyuk had met many typical tanks fighting in that team. Considering those he had met, the manticore wasn’t a true tank. The hero had felt more like a sheet of paper.

He picked up the item the manticore dropped and asked, “What do we do now?”

“I am not sure. Should we stay here?”

Zareto wanted to relegate the leadership to Junhyuk, so he turned and said, “Let’s destroy the first tower and worry about it later.”

Junhyuk commanded Zareto’s minions and attacked the watchtower. It did not take long to bring it down. Once he destroyed the tower, he contacted Layla.

Gongon had had plenty of time to get there during all of that.

“Layla, the left side is clear. How’s it going over there?”

“I got killed.”

“By whom?”

“Gongon. Four heroes came our way, and I killed three of them, but Gongon got me.”

Junhyuk clicked his tongue.

“They’re probably moving center now.”

“What do we do?”

“Can you take center alone?”

“You want me to go there by myself?”

“Can someone take your place?”

“Railic can do it!”

“OK. Then, ask Railic.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I’ll go see Bebe first. Then, I’ll head center and then move right.”

Junhyuk was already doing his part, so Layla agreed to the plan.

“OK. What about me?”

Layla could also hold her own, and Junhyuk decided he wanted to team up with her again. He hadn’t been able to watch her fight while he had been fighting Gongon.

“I’ll get the buff monster on my way center. Head that way, and we’ll fight it together.”

“You want to leave Ebodia on the right?”

“As you are aware, the core of Nightmare Mountain is that buff tower. Whoever controls it, controls the battlefield. Ebodia can defend the second tower by herself. Our enemies will gather at the center anyway.”

“What if they don’t come center?”

“Then, we’ll push from there. Tell Railic to take three hundred minions with him.”

“OK. We’ll meet by the buff monster then.”

Junhyuk didn’t know which monster they would face, but they would meet there.

Turning to Zareto, he said, “Stay here.”

“Sure.”

Junhyuk headed out, toward the merchant’s portal. Once he got to the portal, he crossed it and saw Bebe inside.

Bebe was yawning like always, and he waved at Junhyuk when he saw him.

“You came!”

Junhyuk nodded and walked toward Bebe.

“I heard you are fighting hard. Did you bring me anything?”

Junhyuk showed Bebe the items. First, he showed Bebe the items he had picked up during the previous round and this round, but not Gongon’s items. Bebe smiled.

“Of course! All crap!” Bebe checked everything and said, “I’ll give you 200,000G for all nine of them.”

Junhyuk agreed and nodded. They were all crappy items like Bebe had said. Everything was cheap.

He sighed and asked, “What about these?”

Junhyuk pulled out the items made with basic magitek recipes. Bebe inspected everything and smiled.

“There are a lot,” he said. “Items that use basic recipes are cheap. I’ll give you 20,000G for each.”

Junhyuk smiled. Magitek items were cheaper than those items he had picked up when killing heroes. Had they not been, he would’ve earned way more.

“I’ll give you 300,000G for everything. However, I’ve told you already. I can’t buy many basic items. Not many people want to buy them, so I’ll buy five of each type at most.”

Junhyuk clicked his tongue. He wanted to earn gold, but things weren’t working out as planned.

Then, he pulled out the cloak made out of Ghost White Tiger fur.

“What about this one?”

When Bebe inspected it, his eyes beamed.

“Oh! This one is exquisite!”

Junhyuk looked expectantly at Bebe. Once Bebe finished his inspection of the cloak, he said calmly, “This is an unknown recipe. The attributes are nice as well. Invisibility powers are in demand… I’ll give you 150,000G for each of these you bring me.”
