Junhyuk was trying to buy time so that he could get his Dimensional Slash back and so that his allies would get their powers back. They could still win.

The allies were lacking a pure damager like Layla, and Sarang was not there, so they couldnt take advantage of her Thunderstorm to kill one of their enemies with ease.

We should fight, Gongon whispered.

Yeah? We cant receive Elises buffs again.

It wouldve been nice to get the buffs, but now, it was time to restart the fight. His Dimensional Slash was finally back, so he asked Gongon, Are your powers back?

Yes, but my ultimate is not.

So, should we go without it?

Nudra and Halo had already used their ultimates. Only Artlan still had his, so there was a chance the allies could win. Junhyuk had plenty of health now, but Gongon only had 55 percent left, and Elise had 64 percent.

They had two heroes low on health, and though the enemy team was lacking a pure damager, things werent really looking up for the allies.

The enemy team could focus down on one hero. Gongon and Elise were buffed, but they shouldnt let their guards down.

Even if the allies had high defense, the enemy heroes could have high piercing stats.

With Junhyuks Dimensional Slash back, he said, Lets start.

On whom?

Halo should be our best target.

Nudra had evasion powers, so the allies decided to attack Halo. Everyone nodded, and Junhyuk turned to Elise and said, Stay here. You have long range attacks.

Sure.

Junhyuk teleported. As soon as he appeared behind Halo, he used his Dimensional Slash. The attack hit Halo, and Gongon, after enlarging, headbutted the hero.

Gongon followed it up with a firebreath, but Halo wasnt an easy enemy. Halo used his flash attack against Gongon, which allowed him to pass right by the dragon. The firebreath was wasted.

Artlan and Nudra attack Gongon, and the enemy champion started casting a spell.

Junhyuk quickly raised his force field.

Clang!

He managed to block Artlans and Nudras attacks and followed it up with an attack on Halo. Halo blocked all of his attacks, but Gongon took the chance to kick the enemy hero on the side.

Ugh!

Enlarged, all of Gongons damage increased. With Halo low on health, Elise shot off continuous beams at him using Moon Core.

Halo swung his sword around to block the lasers, and Junhyuk seized that opportunity to stab Halo, who lost the remainder of his health.

As Halo faded, he said, Your swordsmanship has improved significantly.

Halo hadnt been able to block both Junhyuks attacks and the Moon Core beams. Once Halo dropped his item, Junhyuk quickly picked it up and teleported back with Gongon.

He did that even though the force field was still up.

Your powers are unbelievable They should be outlawed, Artlan said.

Im sorry you think that way.

Artlan grabbed Nudra and Kaigel and retreated. They were heading for the portal, but Junhyuk did not give chase.

The enemy heroes went through the portal and were gone, and Junhyuk said calmly, Wait for Layla and Sarang here. Ill go cover more of the map for the teleportation.

Sure.

Junhyuk left the two behind and teleported, reappearing by the second enemy watchtower on the right path. He kept running and teleporting on the way to the enemys castle.

Junhhyuk could attack the castle. Even without the allied minions, he would be able to destroy the castles force field.

The enemy heroes would come out soon, but if he attacked, they would have to stay by the castle.

Since he was running and teleporting, his speed increased significantly. He could cover in an hour and twenty minutes a distance that wouldve taken him two hours before.

Sarang and Layla joined Elise, but they didnt know where the enemy heroes were, so Junhyuk told them to head down the middle path and kept on going. He could finally see the castle wall. There were archers on top of it, but he didnt care.

He ran in and pounded against the gate. He used his Dimensional Slash against it and attacked it with Akshas Longsword. When he was close enough, he attacked the gate with both of his swords.

The archers shot at him, and Junhyuk kept on losing health, but by now, he had managed to destroy half of the gate. Suddenly, Vera showed up at the top of the wall.

When did you get here?!

Junhyuk quickly teleported away, back to the rest of his team.

Vera could kill him easily if he stayed.

When Junhyuk appeared, his allies looked at him and asked, How come your health is so low?

Junhyuk only had 30 percent of his health left. He had managed to destroy half of the gate, but that was the price. He shouldnt have tried to attack the gate by himself, but it was a good experience.

The allies could reach the castle through the right path anytime now. He was sure that Artlan wouldnt be foolish about it, and that an enemy hero would be left behind to cover the castle from now on. The allies now had a path to victory.

Sarang healed him, and Junhyuk turned to Elise and said, Itll be a couple of hours before we engage the enemy heroes. Buff me.

Buff you?

Junhyuk was curious as to why he needed the buff since no enemies were around, but he said, With it, I can destroy the gate.

You attacked their castle?!

I didnt have any minions with me, so it was hard. I destroyed half of it though. Ill keep going back to it when I can.

Good thinking. Sure, yeah.

Junhyuk smiled at the allies and teleported away. He reappeared by the gate. Once there, he inspected the environment, but Vera was gone. He cheered and used his Dimensional Slash.

The attack hit the gate, and Junhyuk teleported close to it, slashing at it with both swords. He didnt care about the archers, but he cared about whether there were heroes around. He couldnt see anyone, but suddenly, pillars of fire rose from the ground beneath him.

He retreated quickly, but he had already been damaged. He still couldnt see Vera, however.

Junhyuk clicked his tongue and used his Spatial Collapse.

Craaaack!

The gate did not withstand it and shattered. As soon as it did, Junhyuk teleported away.

He only had 12 percent of his health left. Vera had damaged him heavily.

Everyone stared at him, but he smiled at them and said, I destroyed the gate.

They couldnt repair the gate, so at least one hero would return to cover it. The enemy team should be anxious now.

Looking at his team, Junhyuk said, Lets push middle.

The enemy team can use the portal to get back to the buff tower.

They can, he said, adding, When they attack our watchtower, well destroy their second watchtower. Thatll give us a clear advantage.

Right.

Everyone nodded and continued down the middle path. They had 220 minions with them. Sarang and Layla had brought more with them.

The enemy team could give up the watchtower, and in that case, the allies would simply keep pushing. Victory would be decided by the next team battle.

Junhyuk kept thinking about how to go about the team battle. The damagers were powerful, so he wanted to kill them first. However, the first thing should be getting rid of Kaigel.

He was wondering if he should use his Dimensional Slash on Kaigel when the allied reached the enemy watchtower.

The enemy heroes werent there, so the allies attacked it without worry.

The minions acted as bait for the archers, and the heroes joined in on bringing it down. Vera had been at the castle, so she couldnt have reached the tower. If the rest of the enemy team was planning an ambush, only four of their heroes could be there. With those odds, the allies could win the engagement.

Suddenly, the allies found out that their central watchtower was under attack.

OK. Just like we planned.

Then, they got a notice that their watchtower in the right path was also under attack. The enemy team was attacking both watchtowers at the same time.

Junhyuk clicked his tongue. With the portals, the enemy team could attack all three watchtowers at the same time, and sure enough, the left watchtower soon fell under attack.

The enemy team gave up the middle watchtower, but they were taking all of the allies first towers.

Artlan was thinking long term.

The next team battle will decide wholl win.

The enemy heroes would return to their castle soon, and thats where the team battle would take place. Whoever won it would win the round.

The allies could die and still have another chance, but for the enemy team, if they died there, that would be the end for them.

It would be a decisive battle.

After the allies destroyed the enemy watchtower and reached the castle, they saw an army of three hundred minions guarding the wall. Artlan, Halo and Nudra were also there. Vera, Diane and Kaigel were on top of the wall.

Junhyuk was sad that Helen wasnt there, but he turned to his allies and said, Think of this as our last battle.

Everyone smiled at him.
