Chapter 554: Thin Ice 2

Junhyuk did not teleport on his way to the portal. He wanted to get there with Gongon, so when he reached his portal, he waited until Gongon reached his. He contacted Gongon then and found out that it would be some time before Gongon got to his portal. Worried, he started to think he could deal with Jean Clo by himself. Jean Clo was the only enemy hero at the buff tower.

Junhyuk took a deep breath and went through the portal. When he got to the other side, he saw Jean Clo sitting at the buff tower, yawning. When Jean Clo spotted him, he quickly got up.

“Oh! Junhyuk! I heard about you!”

Jean Clo started stretching his muscles, and Junhyuk smiled. He was confident that he could easily get rid of the enemy hero.

As a tank, Jean Clo’s damage was low. He’s only advantage was his defense.

Junhyuk lowered his swords to his sides and said, “I’ll show you how stupid you are to stay here all by yourself.”

He ran, and Jean Clo ran to meet him. Junhyuk knew about Jean Clo’s rush, but the enemy hero would have to grapple Junhyuk to use his other powers. Junhyuk had the advantage.

He triggered a Spatial Collapse, hitting Jean Clo.

“Ugh!”

It was a direct hit, but Jean Clo only lost 33 percent of his health. The enemy hero had an absurd amount of defense.

“You must’ve gotten some new items.”

Laughing, Junhyuk used his Dimensional Slash, and Jean Clo lost another 30 percent of his health.

The two attacks took a total of 63 percent off of the hero’s total health. Closing in, Junhyuk slashed at enemy hero. His health was much greater than before. He should be able to win.

When effect of the Spatial Collapse ended, Jean Clo closed in quickly. Junhyuk swung his swords in response. He didn’t want to get grabbed by the hero, but Jean Clo elbowed his swords away and went right up to Junhyuk. Jean Clo grabbed him and slammed him against the ground.

“Ugh!”

Junhyuk’s defense had gone up, but he still felt the pain of the attack. It dealt 8 percent of damage to him. Having lost only 8 percent of his health from the attack, Junhyuk became certain that he could fight Jean Clo.

The enemy hero grabbed his legs and started spinning. The world spun all around him, and Junhyuk wanted to do something about it, so he swung Aksha’s Longsword at Jean Clo. However, the enemy hero was incredibly skilled, letting go of him right on time.

Junhyuk was launched away and slammed his head against the ground, receiving another 10 percent of damage. When he got up, he complained to himself.

Powers with low damage made him angry. Junhyuk ran forward, and Jean Clo ran to meet him with his arms spread open. The hero had to grapple Junhyuk to attack, so he had to get close.

Junhyuk decided to use heavy attacks, but when he attacked Jean Clo from midrange with Aksha’s Longsword, Jean Clo parried the strike with his elbow. At that moment, Junhyuk realized that he didn’t really know Jean Clo.

Jean Clo was very skilled in hand-to-hand combat.

Junhyuk raised his force field, protecting himself from Jean Clo’s hands, and slashed at Jean Clo’s wrist.

The enemy hero dodged his attacks and slammed his shoulder against the force field.

Junhyuk was thrown back, but he had expected that move from Jean Clo. For the next ten seconds, Jean Clo wouldn’t be able to do anything, so Jean Clo wanted to use the portal to get away.

That was a wise strategy, but Junhyuk wouldn’t let the enemy hero escape. He teleported and blocked the path to the portal and slashed at the enemy hero. Jean Clo scowled and retreated quickly. Junhyuk chased after the enemy hero, who was running away with his back to Junhyuk. Then, Jean Clo used his ultimate.

Three orbs of energy flew toward Junhyuk, who destroyed one. At the same time, Jean Clo started regaining health at an incredible speed.

Junhyuk realized that Jean Clo had used his ultimate a little too late. He clicked his tongue and continued his strikes. He had to destroy the energy orbs. Otherwise, Jean Clo would continue to regain health.

Knowing that, Junhyuk attacked ferociously. With the Triple Yin Yang, he destroyed the two remaining orbs. By the end of it, Jean Clo had regained 40 percent of his health, for a total of 70 percent.

Junhyuk was speechless. He couldn’t do anything against Jean Clo’s recovery speed.

Gongon had a lot of attacks, and with Helen, he had managed to defeat Jean Clo, but the hero had the survivability of a cockroach.

His ultimate was better than Sarang’s invulnerability.

Junhyuk’s force field faded, so he was left with no opportunity to rest. He had to save his last teleportation for a dangerous situation.

Jean Clo still had powers left, so the hero grabbed Junhyuk and jumped. He spun in the air, and Junhyuk gritted his teeth.

Boom!

Junhyuk hit the ground head first, completely disoriented by the impact. He tried to get up, but Jean Clo punted him. Junhyuk clutched his head and distanced himself, and Jean Clo extended a hand forward. It was a type of wrestling move. If he ended up grabbed, Junhyuk would be slammed against the ground again.

Junhyuk could attack, but Jean Clo’s defense was incredibly sturdy.

Jean Clo’s defense seemed to be twice as high as that of ordinary tanks. Junhyuk’s piercing stat was high, but he was only able to deal half of the damage he normally dealt, which meant that Jean Clo’s health was also very high.

Junhyuk attacked nonstop.

His defense was also high, so the damage he was receiving from Jean Clo was rather low. It was a battle of attrition.

Junhyuk had a few attacks that could bypass Jean Clo’s defense. Mostly, he was waiting for his Dimensional Slash to come off cooldown. He could really damage Jean Clo with it.

Something changed then.

The portal shone, and Gongon and Helen appeared. Seeing that Junhyuk was fighting, the two joined in.

“You’ll have a tough time killing him alone.”

“Right. I’m already tired. Help me.”

Junhyuk had never faced an enemy that was that hard to kill. Jean Clo’s ultimate had kept the hero alive, and it would keep regenerating the hero’s health every time it was activated. It was a true battle of attrition.

Gongon joined in. While Gongon’s regular attacks wouldn’t work, his powers were a different story. Gongon immediately enlarged and headbutted Jean Clo, who got pushed back as he received damage. Helen slashed at the hero as well.

Jean Clo started to run toward the portal. He had to take it to escape. When Jean Clo ran, it felt like a tank was rolling through.

Though Jean Clo had incredible survivability, Junhyuk got in his way.

Jean Clo tried to push him away, but Junhyuk used his swords to attack. Jean Clo ignored the attack, but it was a trap.

The blade of one of Junhyuk’s swords disappeared. It was the Dimensional Slash, which cut through Jean Clo’s neck. The enemy hero’s eyes widened, and Junhyuk smiled with satisfaction. After the three attacked, and finally, after receiving the Dimensional Slash, Jean Clo started fading.

“You truly are a cockroach,” Junhyuk said.

Even his heavy attacks hadn’t killed Jean Clo. Even his Spatial Collapse followed by the Dimensional Slash hadn’t managed to do it.

He sighed and turned to the others, and Gongon and Helen came up to him.

“Was it hard?”

“Yeah. I didn’t think it was going to be that hard.”

Jean Clo was the strongest tank, even stronger than a legend perhaps. He had never met anyone so hard.

During the following team battles, Jean Clo would be a problem. The last legend candidates had had a tank who managed to outlast his force field, and Jean Clo seemed as strong as that tank.

He was worried about the team battles.

Junhyuk picked up the item dropped and realized it was something superior.

“I can get 300,000G for this,” he guessed.

Gongon smirked and said, “All of their items are expensive. If we win this battle, our items will improve significantly.”

“We can’t die.”

Every time an allied died, they would lose an item. If an ally lost an upgraded item, the lost would be catastrophic. It was the same for their enemies.”

Gongon looked at the allies coming up the mountain and asked, “What do we do now? We have some time.”

“We’ll hunt buff monsters. To win this tournament, we’ll need to upgrade Elise’s buffs.”

“Right. We shouldn’t advance yet. Let’s go hunting.”

“Yeah.”

Junhyuk to take the safety of the allies into consideration when fighting the enemy team. His blood was boiling.
