Chapter 156: You Too 3

Lugos had about 70 percent of his health left. They both ran toward him, and Lugos scowled at Gyulsean's death. Because he was under attack from both of them, he started going toward the second tower.
They couldn't lose Lugos at that point. If he reached the tower's range, they would lose the two-to-one advantage.
"Block him!" Junhyuk shouted, and Kaljaque stood in his way, swinging his staff. Kaljaque was huge, and Lugos couldn't pass by him.
Junhyuk attacked Lugos' back, and he stomped the ground.
Boom!
The ground shook with the shockwaves, launching Junhyuk and Kaljaque into the air. Lugos' arms enlarged, and he attacked Kaljaque, who had been blocking his path, with them.
Bang!
Kaljaque blocked two attacks, but let the other two got through. He was completely bloodied, but Junhyuk didn't use his power. He could launch the force field, but didn't feel the need to do it at that moment.
Kaljaque was attacked twice, but he still had a lot of health left. It took a lot to deal with his entire health pool. When he tried to kill Gyulsean, he was attacked on his back and was left with 70 percent. Now, he had been attacked by Lugos and had 60 percent left. He had blocked half of the attacks, but still lost 10 percent of his health. Lugos was obviously powerful. If Junhyuk had been hit by that, he would've lost 30 percent of his health.
Junhyuk wasn't sure about Kaljaque's defense, but he recognize that Kaljaque's health was superior to his own. Lugos had to be a tank, but he also had a significant attack stat as well. It was comparable to Junhyuk's Spatial Slash. He specialized in attack and inflicted a lot of damage.
Junhyuk landed and quickly took some steps back. Lugos' stomp had inflicted 10 percent of damage to him. So, he just watched Kaljaque exchange blows with Lugos. Both had items that buffed defense and health, so nobody was winning. If one of the sides used its power, he could deal a lot of damage, but without using a power, the fight was going very slow.
Junhyuk pondered for a moment and joined the fight. Lugos had four arms, but that didn't mean he didn't have a weak spot, and neither Junhyuk nor Kaljaque were weak.
They attacked him without using their powers, and Lugos started losing health. When Lugos had 30 percent of his health left, Junhyuk looked at Kaljaque and thought, If he is an intelligent troll, he will attack now. He could kill someone at 30 percent of his health.
Kaljaque howled, and Lugos was paralyzed. So far, the fight had been even, but he could win the fight by using his howl.
Kaljaque howled because the cooldown had ended, but Junhyuk was still suspicious. He could have done it specifically to kill Lugos. Kaljaque rushed.
Boom!
Lugos lost 10 percent and couldn't defend himself, so he was pushed back into the flamewall. When he touched the flamewall, he lost another 5 percent. Junhyuk had already heard the flamewall was hot, but didn't expect Lugos would lose that much health.
Lugos sprang forward, and Kaljaque raised his staff. Junhyuk was sure of it then. The troll was intelligent. If he struck three times, Lugos would die. He had 15 percent of his health left, and Kaljaque knew it and was looking to deliver the deathblow.
Junhyuk laughed.
Kaljaque had no intention of giving up on trying to kill Lugos, but Junhyuk also felt no need to give up on Lugos, and his Spatial Slash was ideal to finish the job.
He saw Kaljaque striking the ground, and Lugos trying to block, so Junhyuk used the Spatial Slash to split the side of Lugos' neck deeply.
"Ugh!"
It was a critical hit, and the Spatial Slash took 40 percent out of Lugos' health. He only had 15 percent, so he died from the strike.
[You killed Lugos and earned 3,000G.]
Kaljaque smacked his lips. He had used everything he had to kill Lugos, but the Spatial Slash got to him first, taking his chance away.
"Thanks for helping me kill Lugos," Junhyuk said calmly.
"When I help, you can kill anyone."
"Thanks for listening to me."
Honestly speaking, he hadn't listened. He was using his intelligence to deliver the deathblows.
However, Junhyuk made a decision. He would have Kaljaque in the front as a tank, but even if he was in danger, Junhyuk wouldn't launch the force field. He would only use his teleportation and force field, if Kaljaque was about to get killed.
There would also be no yielding to Kaljaque. He would save the Spatial Slash, and if opportunity arose, he would deliver every deathblow. Maybe he would give them up to Aktur, but he wouldn't allow Kaljaque to get any more of them.
Kaljaque looked at the tower.
"Destroy the tower."
"Surely, we will get this one."
With the second tower destroyed, the castle would be right in front of them, and their enemies would soon gather on that side. Aktur could kill Drakey and crush the tower on his side. Victory would come soon enough.
"Let's begin."
It only took the two champions to crush the tower. That was more than enough, and as Kaljaque took the lead, Junhyuk remained undamaged.
Once they crushed the tower, Junhyuk looked at Kaljaque.
"We will join Aktur and kill Drakey and crush the remaining tower. We'll get to the castle soon. If Drakey is killed, there will only be two enemies at the castle, making things easier."
"OK."
The two moved quickly, looking for Aktur.
---
Kaljaque and Junhyuk found him, but Drakey wasn't there. He was alone, attacking the tower. He looked at Kaljaque and turned around again, pounding the tower. Junhyuk and Kaljaque joined in, and they quickly destroyed it.
Aktur looked at Junhyuk.
"Drakey heard about you killing the other two and retreated."
"Right."
Drakey was smarter than expected. He had analyzed things on the go and made the quick decision to retreat.
Junhyuk smiled.
"OK. Let's go to the castle!"
"Right."
Aktur took the lead, and Junhyuk followed. Kaljaque was in last place and said, "I'm here as well."
"Don't talk. Just follow us," Aktur said harshly, and Kaljaque rested his staff on his shoulder and followed.
Junhyuk learned from Aktur's attitude toward Kaljaque that the intelligent troll had duped not only him. He wanted to be more cautious from then on and walked next to Aktur. Kaljaque led the lizardmen.
There were a hundred lizardmen following them. It was time for an all-out attack.
"What's different from the Valley of Death?" Junhyuk asked as they moved.
Aktur looked at his nails.
"This place has three champions and only one golem, but the golem is stronger than a champion. We have to attack it from a distance."
"What about archers?"
"We have archers here, but there are fewer than at the Valley of Death. However, don't ignore them."
"It won't be easy. The enemies will stay where they are."
Aktur looked at Kaljaque.
"We'll send him in and lure one out. Then, I'll kill him. Who do want to lure?"
"We need to kill someone annoying. How about Drakey?"
Aktur smiled sinisterly.
"I was thinking the same thing. Drakey has a long range attack. We'll lure him out, and I will summon the skeleton soldiers. You and I will also attack him."
Kaljaque spoke up from behind, "Who do I rush and get?"
Aktur answered without looking at him, "Kill anybody you want. When you get in danger, just retreat."
"Sure."
Junhyuk turned to look at Kaljaque. He dealt the deathblows in certain situations, so Junhyuk was very confused by the troll. Just like Aktur had said, just looking at the troll would give him cancer. However, he could use him when he was in need of a body and not a brain. That's where Kaljaque would thrive.
"Then, we can attack. There would only be two left, and we can kill them easily. Gyulsean has low health, so we should attack her first. Lugos would be last," Aktur said calmly.
"If it goes as planned, it'll be easy."
"I expect a lot from you."
"Don't expect too much. I'll do my best."
Aktur smiled sinisterly and kept going.
They arrived at the enemy castle with a hundred lizardmen and three champions. With that few champions, the first team battle would decide the flow of the battle. They had to kill their enemies there and advance into the castle to kill the golem. Then, it would be over.
Even if the enemies reincarnated, they would do so one by one, and the allies would win.
"You remember the plan?" Aktur asked.
"Sure," Kaljaque answered him in a carefree manner.
"We attack with the lizardmen. The archers will focus on the lizardmen, and the enemy will respond. Kaljaque, you attack first. Kaljaque rushes, and we will lure Drakey out. Don't deviate from the plan," Aktur said, and Kaljaque stepped forward.
"Don't worry about it. Attack!"
Kaljaque didn't want a detailed explanation, so he shouted and the lizardmen followed him. The lizardmen were aggressive, so they followed his orders even without the use of an item.
They ran, and Kaljaque followed them. Junhyuk didn't know how to feel about him. Is he courageous or just stupid?
Still, he was taking the lead, so Junhyuk had to follow him.
"Let's go," Aktur told Junhyuk.
The enemies would use their powers, but they if they stayed behind Kaljaque, they would be safe. They had Kaljaque take the lead for that reason.
Kaljaque could rush to safety, and the rest would depend on Junhyuk. If he used the force field on him, Kaljaque wouldn't be hurt at all, but Junhyuk didn't tell him he would. Aktur knew about the force field and hadn't included it in the battle plan. That had been intentional on Aktur's part, but Junhyuk didn't care.
If Kaljaque was about to get killed, he would launch the force field around him. Junhyuk ran with Aktur and inspected the enemy. The plan was set, but it depended on how their enemies would react. They were ready to improvise at any time.
The first team battle of the Swamp of Despair was about to begin.
