Junhyuk ordered the minions advance. The allied minions outnumbered the enemy minions. As the minions clashed and fought, Junhyuk realized that things were different from before.

On Earth, humans around the world had changed. They lived under the constant threat of monster attacks and had become more vicious. The human minions did not give an inch to the green minions.

Shielding themselves and counter attacking, they began a blood battle. Meanwhile, Junhyuk looked at the enemies atop the wall.

He looked at the allies, and when the allied heroes looked at him, they nodded and started running.

The enemies were stationed at the parapet, but only Libya could attack from long range. Their minions were winning, so Junhyuk took off, staring at Libya.

Libya wasnt attacking the allied minions. Instead, she was preparing a bigger attack. Junhyuk thought about her powers. If she had purchased a new weapon, her powers might have become stronger.

However, ten seconds would be enough. The allied minions had already won, and with his force field, Junhyuk would destroy the gate, enter the castle and kill the enemy heroes.

Libya threw an ice spear. It looked larger than before.

Junhyuk had been watching her, and he realized she had thrown the spear when the allied heroes came within range of it. Looking at the spear, Junhyuk raised his force field.

Boom!

The ice spear shattered against the force field, and Junhyuk teleported to the gate with the allies. All of the allied heroes attacked the gate, and it shattered within ten seconds.

The allied team went inside, and Minota and the others had to retreat to join the giant golems.

Junhyuk looked at them and said, Lets make a clean kill.

OK!

He wasnt scared of the golems. Libya seemed to be the strongest them, but she hadnt managed to land an attack yet.

Junhyuk decided on killing her first. It was a good thing that he knew the enemy heroes. He knew their powers and how to deal with them. At the same time, he could guess at the level of their items.

Elise extended her hand. In one go, two heroes got buffed by her.

After being buffed, Junhyuk ran ahead and shouted, Kill the golems!

The minions dashed toward the giant golems. There were plenty of minions, four hundred of them.

Junhyuk took off quickly. His goal was to deal with Libya, and the enemy heroes were keeping away from each other this time. However, he did not care. As soon as he got within seventy meters of her, he used his Spatial Slash.

Libya was aware of him, so she moved immediately. She started bleeding from her neck, but it wasnt a critical hit.

Then, Libya extended both of her hands. She was holding ice flowers, and the petals flew everywhere.

Junhyuk raised his force field and teleported to appeared in front of her. Libya tried to get an ice spear off, but Junhyuk triggered a Spatial Collapse on her chest.

Junhyuk didnt care about any of the other heroes. Libya was the only one who could pose a problem, so he had to kill her immediately. It wouldve been nice to have killed her with just the Spatial Slash, but he had to use the Spatial Collapse. Once she got pulled, he stabbed her chest for good measure.

Both swords pierced her chest, and he twisted them. Libya had already taken her last breath.

Minota pounded against his force field, and Junhyuk was thrown off to the side. There was a giant golem there.

The golem tried to hit him, but Junhyuk teleported. He appeared behind Skia.

He stabbed Skia, but the hero turned translucent, dodging his attacks. Skia retreated immediately, but Junhyuk teleported again to chase after the hero. It was his last teleport. Junhyuk slashed at the enemy hero, and Skia tried to block the attack with the dagger, but Junhyuk was buffed now.

With the buff, his attack speed was twice the normal speed.

Junhyuk was injuring Skia, who scowled and disappeared. The hero seeped into a shadow and went after Sarang. Skia was just about to stab her when thunderbolts slammed against the heros head.

Crraaaack, boom!

Skia screamed and became paralyzed by the attack. Sarang shot electric arrows at the hero. Elises buff had increased the speed of her attacks.

Two electric arrows hit Skia, and they were followed by an electric blast.

Skia was paralyzed again, and Sarang shot at the hero again.

Finally, Skia died, and Junhyuk looked at the others. Layla had sent Ellic into the air with her katana. Elise was firing her ultimate at Warren. The werewolfs ultimate boosted his regeneration, but Elises ultimate was much more powerful, so Warren died.

Junhyuk turned to MInota, who was trying to retreat into the castles force field.

Gongon transformed and swooped in front of Minota. The hero triggered his doppelganger, and both Minotas tried to rush past Gongon. Seeing that, Junhyuk shouted, Take the left one!

Gongon attacked the left Minota, and Junhyuk slashed the back of the right one with Akshas Longsword. That Minota turned around and tried to punch him.

The force field was already gone, so Junhyuk blocked Minotas fist.

Clang!

He received some damage, but he didnt feel any pain. Minota was using one of his powers, but Junhyuk attacked him with reckless abandon. With the buff, Junhyuk slashed Minotas thigh and ribs.

Minota was twice as tall as him, so he could only land attacks on the minotaurs head with Akshas Longsword.

When Minota got slashed across the thigh, the hero fell to his knees.

Junhyuk looked right into Minotas eyes then and said, Its been a pleasure.

He beheaded Minota, and that copy disappeared. The other Minota was falling as well. Gongon stomped on the minotaurs head then and said, A minotaur attacking a dragon? You must be a crazy minotaur.

Junhyuk laughed a Gongon and turned to the others. All of the enemy heroes were already dead. The difference in power and items was too big, and the enemies were easily defeated.

The minions destroyed the golems. There were too many minions still laughed, so the golems went down with ease.

Junhyuk ran at the castles force field and started pounding against it. The others did the same. Even before any of the enemy heroes were able to revive, the allied minions destroyed the force field.

He looked at his team and said, Its our first victory.

Gongon smirked and asked, Are you going to invite us over again?

I will, but if you are busy, you dont have to come.

Nudra will go, so Ill go and learn.

OK.

Junhyuk nodded, and the world around them faded. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Ariel was in front of him.

[Congratulations!]

Junhyuk shrugged and replied, The enemies were weak. They were ranked too low. The difference was too big.

[The next enemy team is also low-ranked.]

Yeah? Can you tell me who they are?

[I cant.]

OK. What about the victory reward?

[The reward is 1,000,000G, and youve achieved the first pentakill of the tournament, so theres an extra 500,000G.]

Sure. Does every hero in a winning team get 1,000,000G?

[Of course!]

Junhyuk frowned a bit after learning that everyone would win that amount. That meant that, after every round, his enemy would get 5,000,000G stronger.

The enemy team would certainly purchase new items, and with that kind of gold, they would definitely be stronger. The next team he was up against mustve also picked up dropped items along with winning the reward.

Junhyuk knew the tournament would become more difficult with each passing round. To counter that, teams would need more than just items. They would need powers and individual skill.

Junhyuk knew that if he made it to the final round, he would go up against Artlan or someone as strong as Artlan. For that reason, he had to get strong enough to deal with Artlans team.

Junhyuk looked at Ariel and said, I want to bet on Ling Ling. Whats the return?

[About 150 percent now. Ling Ling has been winning, so the returns are lowering.]

Sure. Thats still good. Ill bet 500,000G.

[You are aware of the fees?]

I am.

[The bet is set.]

He smiled at Ariel and asked, When is the next round?

[In two weeks.]

OK. See you then.

Junhyuk closed his eyes, and the world turned bright white. When he opened his eyes again, he was back on Earth.

He had achieved his first victory, but that was only the beginning. He had a long way to go if he was to win the tournament.
