Legend of Legends

As everyone got stunned, Lujet summoned the demon to the center of the allied formation. However, this time, the demon did not target Junhyuk. Junhyuk’s strength was in his force field, and now that he had already used it, he no longer seemed dangerous to his enemies. The demon focused on an allied attacker, Vera.

She got hit and lost a lot of health all at once. The same attack had taken away 50 percent of Junhyuk’s health previously, but Vera lost 70 percent. At that moment, Junhyuk realized one thing: to become a true legend, focusing entirely on damage was not enough. It just simply didn’t allow you to survive a situation like this.

By comparison, Tuelus was responsible for dealing damage for the opposite team, and his defense was comparable to Artlan’s even after he had gotten weaker from dropping items.

Only people as strong as that could become legends.

Aak punched Vera, and she faded.

Unexpectedly, the second giant golem went out to help the allies, engaging the demon in front of them. Lujet watched the golem fight the demon and ran past both of them, piercing Diane’s chest with his hand.

As his demonic hand punctured her chest, Diane lost 40 percent of her health, and Lujet regained his in return.

“This is nuts!”

Junhyuk wanted to move but couldn’t. If things continued that way, two allied heroes would die before they were able to move again, and more would follow after that.

Junhyuk watched Keros moving forward and slamming his sword into the ground. He got his movement back just in time to try to teleport to his allies, but Klamp was faster. The hero had been waiting for that and used his sealing power on the allies, preventing Junhyuk from teleporting or using any other power.

Keros’ sword strike generated shockwaves.

Boom!

He was bounced up in the air. All he could do was grit his teeth, and it would be hard for him to survive.

Then, Keros aimed his sword at the allies, meaning to have it explode. Junhyuk could only watch.

Meanwhile, Sarang had been watching the fight from within the castle’s force field, and she balled her hands up instinctively. Klamp had pulled Aak, who followed up by stunning the allies.

Then, the demon had mostly killed Vera.

Klamp had used his power to seal off the allies’ powers, while Keros created shockwaves. With gritted teeth, Sarang realized that if things continued that way, the allies would be annihilated, and Junhyuk, who always rescued her, would die again. That meant that Junhyuk would have to experience the emptiness of death once more.

Sarang thought fast, looking for things that she could do at that moment. Lujet had the longest range among the enemies, but his range was shorter than her attack’s range. After calculating all that, she walked out of the castle’s force field. If she died once more, that would be the end for her, and she knew that, so she ran through the calculations she had made again.

Before Keros’ sword exploded, Sarang extended her hands.

“Please!”

The allies were all seriously wounded at that moment, and she could only heal two of them. She felt bad about it, but that was all that she could do.

As she extended her hands, she felt the mana within her chest stretching ferociously. She had never felt that before, and her power was enveloped by the outstretched mana.

The light green powder sprinkled over all of the allies, and all of their healths increase. She was confident that they would survive longer now, but if they were hit by Keros’ ultimate, they would still all die.

So, Sarang extended her hand quickly again, and an electric blast zoomed out of it. Before Keros had the chance to use his power, he was paralyzed.

The allies all focused on Keros now, but the paralysis wouldn’t last long, and the enemy heroes were all looking at Sarang.

Lujet ran at her first, while Klamp extended his hand. She took a quick couple of steps back, and by a hair’s breadth, Sarang got out of range. However, the enemy kept up their pursuit.

She couldn’t get caught.

Sarang quickly analyzed the enemy camp. Keros was still paralyzed, and the allies were all attacking him. The hero had lost a large amount of health by that point. The paralysis didn’t last long, but the allies, being veterans, landed critical hits from short range.

Keros was still alive, however, and that meant that Junhyuk’s chances of survival were very low. The hero would try to use his ultimate again.

As Sarang retreated, she looked at Junhyuk. Could she help him? To help him, she had to kill Keros.

The allies’ powers were still all sealed, so they were hitting Keros with criticals from up close. The hero still had a significant amount of health however, 25 percent. It wouldn’t be easy to kill Keros at that point.

Still, Sarang eyes sparked, and she felt something as she extended her hands slowly. Her desire to help Junhyuk had given her a feeling, and that feeling had become a certainty. She pulled out her orb in front of her, and soon, the orb shone brightly.

She could see Keros, and thunderbolts fell on Keros’ head.

Boom!

The bolts fell on Keros’ head precisely, and the enemies did not know what to make of it. Meanwhile, Keros started fading, and vestiges of the thunderbolts extended all over.

The expert got shocked and reappeared from his hidden state.

Sarang watched as Keros died and pulled herself together. She had just become a champion.

“Sarang!”

The expert wasn’t hidden anymore, but he was rushing toward Sarang. Junhyuk had been the one to shout, and Sarang snapped out of her daze and looked at the expert.

The expert had been hit by the mini-bolts and had already lost 30 percent of his health, and Sarang quickly analyzed the situation. All enemy heroes were rushing toward her. They were prioritizing her after she had become a champion.

That was a rule that the legend candidates adhered to.

Because of Sarang’s powers, attack range and damage, the enemies were all running toward her.

Junhyuk teleported and appeared behind them, stabbing the expert on his back. He had done so from behind, and his sword pierced the expert’s back and came out of his chest. The expert’s mouth opened wide, and Junhyuk stabbed his neck with the Frozen Rune Sword.

They both fell to the ground rolling, and Junhyuk slammed the expert down, pulled out his swords and slashed down again, beheading the expert.

“Get back inside the force field!” he shouted.

Sarang did just that, and Junhyuk looked at the enemies, who were now coming toward him. Unfortunately, after Sarang had killed Keros, she hadn’t had time to pick up his item.

As he stood there, in front of the enemies, and watched Sarang entering the force field again, he was relieved. She was safe now.

“Then, should I fight again?”

Junhyuk held tightly to his dual swords and ran toward the enemies. Aak was running toward him, punching in his direction.

As Junhyuk watched Aak’s fist approaching, he used acceleration. Able to read the path of the fist, Junhyuk turned his body as much as possible. It was still hard for him to twist his muscles all of a sudden, but he could deal with it.

He had already trained his muscles, so he controlled them and turned his body slowly. As he dodged Aak’s fist, his sword slashed through the hero’s ribs.

Slash!

He dealt more damage than he had expected. It was a regular attack, but it took 5 percent off Aak’s total health.

Junhyuk hadn’t expected to deal that much damage, and Aak frowned and howled, “Hoorah-rah-rah!”

Suddenly, giant shockwaves extended from Aak’s body and went far off through all the enemies. That’s when the three of them that remained changed the course of their actions.

Lujet’s demon disappeared, but within that short time, it had destroyed the giant golem. After the demon disappeared, Junhyuk realized that the enemies had used all of their powers, so he thought the allies had the advantage.

Then, Lujet stood right in front of Diane and aimed his mechanical hand at her, firing the missiles from his fingers.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Diane faded, and Junhyuk grimaced. He had thought the missiles were still under cooldown, so he had no idea what had just happened.

Klamp extended his hand toward him, and as Junhyuk was pulled, his eyes widened.

“What the hell…?”

Klamp’s power was also supposed to be under cooldown. What was happening there?

Junhyuk didn’t have a chance to finish his sentence before Lujet ran toward him and pierced him with the demonic hand.

He lost a lot of health at once, while Lujet regained his. It looked like Lujet had the power to absorb his opponent’s health.

As Junhyuk’s vision turned blurry, he tried to look around. He saw enemies using powers without having to wait for their cooldowns. Then, Junhyuk turned to Aak.

Aak’s howl from just before had been the beginning of everything.

“A power that cancels cooldowns?”

Junhyuk couldn’t think anymore. The world got entirely blurry, and he lost his willpower.

—

Rough emptiness. Junhyuk pulled himself together to be able to come out of that state. As he came out of the darkness, he staggered.

“Whew!”

Junhyuk was still alive, but the cost had been high. Staggering, he stood up with pride, opened the door and walked out. The giant golems had been destroyed, and the fight had turned into a three versus three, but things had not ended while he was reviving.

Junhyuk ran out quickly and saw Sarang on his way.

“Sarang!”

She saw he had revived and walked over to him.

“Big brother, are you OK?”

“I’m fine. What happened?”

“They are destroying the force field.”

Junhyuk ran quickly to the force field and saw the enemies. They were attacking the force field, and Vera and Diane were also watching the enemies.

“Vera, Diane.”

“Our cutie stud, you still alive?”

Diane smiled and caressed his butt.

“Now, it’s over.”

Junhyuk saw that the force field was almost gone.

“We all died in the end.”

“Right, and the others haven’t reincarnated yet.”

Junhyuk sighed and looked at the enemies. Lujet had 35 percent of his health left, and Junhyuk scowled. He could still kill the hero.

“I’ve been killed enough,” he said and ran toward the force field. When Aak saw him, he tried to punch Junhyuk, but he smiled and teleported.

He appeared behind Lujet and used the Spatial Slash on the hero. The attack hit Lujet’s neck, and the hero grimaced, but he was not dead yet. Lujet turned around to kill Junhyuk, swinging his demonic arm at him. The hero wanted to take Junhyuk’s health into him, but that’s when the bonus attack triggered.

“Ugh!”

Lujet couldn’t do anything before dying. Meanwhile, Klamp extended his hand toward Junhyuk. Junhyuk got pulled, and Klamp used his sealing power on him before punching at the champion.

Junhyuk knew what he had to do now that Lujet was dead, so he blocked Klamp’s fist, but was pushed back in the process. Taking advantage of the momentum, he rolled back on the ground and picked up Lujet’s item.

Lujet had dropped a pair of earrings, and after Junhyuk picked them up, Aak’s attacks finally brought the castle’s force field down.
