Junhyuks group took the middle path, and things were different this time. Ordinarily, two heroes and a champion would take that path, but this time, they sent three heroes, much like their enemies had done before. Junhyuk didnt think that they would lose since he thought they were stronger.

At the top of the mountain, he encountered Aktur, Blinka and Trarune. Junhyuk hadnt expected that combination of heroes. There were no real damagers among them, so Junhyuk didnt think the enemy would be able to kill three allied heroes.

Staring at the allies, Aktur smiled.

Of course youd take middle. Is that a new hero?

Thats right.

Junhyuk looked at Elise. She was wearing the Red Dragon set, so she was covered in Red Dragon scales. He thought she looked very sexy.

Elise smiled at him and said, Im ready to fight.

He looked at Layla, and she smirked back.

Its been a while since Ive been to the buff tower. Ill show you my skills now.

Junhyuk nodded to her. Of the enemy heroes, only Aktur could deal real damage to them.

The allies planned to kill Aktur first, and Junhyuk stepped forward.

Why are you staying by your tower?

Aktur smirked and answered, Are you curious about our strategy?

If you want to tell me, tell me.

Junhyuk ran toward the enemies, but they remained in place. They stood by their watchtower while watching the allies move toward them.

Junhyuk felt a creeping sensation, and Aktur retreated and said, Buy me more time!

After he said that, he closed his eyes. Aktur vanished as bones flew up into the sky. Junhyuk collected himself and contacted Gongon and Sarang immediately.

Akturs vanished! Be careful!

The middle path was the shortest distance between the two castles, which was why the allies and their enemies confronted each other there first. The people on the side paths had yet to come up against someone.

Junhyuk looked at the remaining enemies. Even if he killed them and used the portal, he wouldnt be able to catch up to Aktur.

The enemies were laughing at the allied plan. They were going to give up the middle and push from either the left or the right.

Gongon shook his head and said, Now that I know, Ill be careful. Ill make use of the watchtower to fight.

Even with the watchtower, the enemy heroes wouldnt be easy to deal with. However, if Gongon could buy him more time, Junhyuk could kill the enemies in the middle path and use the portal to join Gongons side.

Even with the speed buff, it wouldnt be easy.

Junhyuk ran forward while checking on the enemy heroes movements. They had only taken a hundred minions with them, and the minions were all stationed in front of the watchtower. Blinka and Trarune had set up behind the watchtower.

Trarune was a tank, and Blinka was a supporter. But, Blinka was sturdy like a tank. Their goal was to buy time.

Junhyuk looked at Layla and Elise. The two werent capable of attacking the tower from a distance. Smacking his lips, he decided to order the minions to close the gap with him.

Kill the enemy minions!

The enemy minions were blocking the heroes.

After he shouted, the allied minions started attacking. The enemies stayed on defense, but the allied minions had the advantage in that situation. The enemy minions specialized in movement speed, so by staying on defense, they were giving up their movement.

Suddenly, Junhyuk scowled. He wanted the least possible amount of minion casualties, but now, he had to order the brawl. Without Sarang, he didnt have the option of being healed, so he really couldnt push by himself.

While he was deep in thought, Elise asked, What if we go around the watchtower and grab their attention?

Junhyuk looked at the enemies again and said, But they have the most annoying powers of the bunch.

Elise took a moment to think and said, If the enemies are trying to buy time, we have the advantage. Order our minions to retreat.

Junhyuk did so, and the enemy minions did not give chase.

She said then, We should kill the minions.

What about the watchtower?

Use your force field to kill the minions. The heroes wont do anything, and it wont take long.

Elise was saying that she was going to keep the heroes back.

Junhyuk nodded and said, Lets do it.

He raised his force field with the three heroes inside and started killing the enemy minions. The allied heroes were going through the enemy minions quickly.

The enemy minions scattered, but he and Elise had long range attacks, so they killed the fleeing minions. However, some still got away.

His force field was almost running out, so he said quickly, Lets retreat.

The allies did so. Only ten minions remained, an amount that Junhyuk could easily ignore.

The allied minions could destroy the watchtower now. Meanwhile, Junhyuk waited for his force field to come off cooldown.

The enemy heroes were entirely focused on defending. They werent moving around. On top of that, Elise buffed both Junhyuk and Layla.

After the two minutes, he ordered an attack. The minions attacked. The allied minions were very courageous now, displaying a high-level of morale.

Of them, 160 allied minions had survived, and the allies could easily destroy the enemy watchtower now.

Akturs goal was to attack either the left or the right path. Meanwhile, the allies would push through the middle, which was the shortest distance.

Junhyuk followed the minions toward the watchtower, and Trarune and Blinka stared worrying. The enemies knew that 160 minions could destroy their watchtower easily.

What should they do?

Junhyuk used his Spatial Slash. He had aimed at Trarune. The hero was a robot, so Junhyuk didnt know where its weak spot was. He decided to go for the chest so that Trarune wouldnt be able to dodge.

Junhyuk hit Trarunes chest, but it was not a critical hit. The hero only received 22 percent of damage. However, the amount of damage was higher than he had previously been able to deal since Trarune had lost some items in the previous battle.

Junhyuk closed in further, meaning to block the attacks from the watchtower.

As Junhyuk closed in, he looked at Layla, who nodded. Then, he used his Spatial Collapse. Its range was forty meters, and it triggered right on Trarunes chest.

When the Spatial Collapse hit Trarune, Blinka moved forward.

Blinka had an area-of-effect stun, but knowing that, Elise used her ultimate.

She summoned five copies of her weapon and used all six at once. There was a flash of light that got sucked by the void of the Spatial Collapse.

He had never seen her ultimate before. Her weapons werent legendary items, but they were still extremely strong, and she was using all six of them to attack the enemy heroes.

Junhyuk did not know if she had managed a critical hit, but Trarune still lost all of his health. The Spatial Slash had taken 22 percent of the heros health, and the Spatial Collapse had taken 26 percent. All of the remaining 52 percent were gone with Elises ultimate.

Blinka became scared then. Blinka was alone, and it could not escape. The allied minions were attacking the watchtower, and it wouldnt be long before it was destroyed.

Blinka started retreating, and Junhyuk teleported with Layla.

Blinka couldnt outrun his teleport. Layla dashed after Blinka and swung her katana. Blinka was launched into the air. Meanwhile, the archers focused on Junhyuk, but he raised his force field.

Thuck, thuck, thuck, thuck!

The arrows bounced off the force field, and Junhyuk slashed with Akshas Longsword at Blinka. He had meant to finish up the hero while it was in the air. At the same time, something came flying from the watchtower. Elise had summoned Zaira, who zoomed toward Blinka, attacking the robot.

The robot dropped to the ground and started punching Layla, who got pushed back into the force field. Junhyuk teleported with Layla and closed in on the enemy hero again.

With the force field up, Blinka couldnt do anything against them. The robot couldnt escape his teleportation.

Layla used her ultimate then, slashing Blinka, who kept trying to retreat.

Elise attacked Blinka as well, and the hero finally disappeared. The enemy heroes had meant to buy more time, but they had failed.

Once the watchtower was destroyed, Junhyuk said, Occupy the buff tower. Ill use the portal to support the others.
