Junhyuk contacted Layla while he waited for Gongon. He wanted to let her know about the situation.

“Layla, the reincarnated heroes are coming center with three hundred minions.”

“Should I come help you?”

“No. I’ll fight and hold them. By the way, what kind of powers does the hero you fought have?”

“I only saw two. He has a grab-stab, where he grabs you with one hand and stabs you with his bladed hand, and a push.”

“What about his damage?”

“It wasn’t that great. I’m sorry I didn’t check on all of his powers.”

She had only seen two of the hero’s powers. That meant that she had killed the hero in a very short time. Layla was better than he had initially thought.

“OK. I’ll deal with him.”

Gongon was missing an item, but his overall strength should be about the same as before. Junhyuk had to deal with two heroes, and that wouldn’t be easy. He planned to use the minions and the watchtower to help him out, but the enemies were also bringing minions, three hundred of them.

He gathered his thoughts. Things wouldn’t be easy, but Layla was strong enough that she could decide things on the right path.

Before the enemies even got there, Junhyuk could reapply the buff. He had told Malone to stay at the tower before, but Malone hadn’t done it. Now that he was waiting for Gongon, after three hours passed, he took the buff tower again, so even if he lost, the buff would stay with the allies.

Junhyuk waited a while, and Gongon finally climbed to the top. The shockwaves wouldn’t work against the minions, so decreasing their numbers wouldn’t be easy.

He sighed and said, “Everyone focus.”

The minions looked at him.

“Use the watchtower for help resist their advance. Your job is to protect the watchtower from the gorillas. I’ll do the rest.”

The allied minions watched the throng of gorillas climbing up the central path. There were four times as many gorillas as allied minions.

Junhyuk stood ahead of them. If the enemies attacked him, they would be targeted by the archers.

The hero with Gongon didn’t have a long range attack, so he had to close the distance. Junhyuk was planning to buy as much time as possible.

He pulled out his swords and looked ahead.

Gongon said, “You are overexerting yourself. You think you can deal with the two of us alone?”

Junhyuk looked at the hero standing next to Gongon and said, “I’ll use the watchtower.”

Gongon stretched his neck lightly and said, “OK. Then, try to resist us.”

The dragon signaled with his eyes, and the hero next to him started closing the distance. Junhyuk only knew half of the hero’s powers. He didn’t know the other two, and they may pose a problem for him.

From Gongon’s position, he couldn’t let Junhyuk buy any more time.

“Attack!” Gongon shouted, and the gorillas ran forward.

Junhyuk looked at the approaching minions and shouted, “Form up! Defensive line!”

The allied minions formed a shield wall, and the gorillas pounded against it like ocean waves. Gongon and the other hero mixed in with the gorillas, heading toward Junhyuk.

Junhyuk swallowed hard. He had had to use all of his powers on Gongon before. It had been that way that he had barely managed to kill the dragon. Things didn’t look good.

The gorillas were running toward him, and he inhaled deeply. Junhyuk did not wish to die, not even once.

The allied minions clashed against the gorillas.

Boom!

The impact stirred the shield wall, but the allied minions stood their ground. Then, the archers started attacking.

The gorillas started falling to the arrows, but they kept pushing against the allied minions.

Junhyuk was watching it all unfold, looking for Gongon and the other hero coming at him. He waited. The Spatial Slash’s cooldown was now shorter, and he wanted to check on the enemy hero’s defense.

He swallowed hard again. Junhyuk trusted himself, and he had to buy more time.

He used the Spatial Slash on the incoming enemy hero.

“Ugh!”

The hero’s neck was wounded, and he vomited blood. He hadn’t know about the Spatial Slash. The hero’s defense wasn’t that great. A single Spatial Slash had dealt 77 percent in damage to his total health.

Now, Junhyuk thought the fight was winnable.

Gongon had distanced himself, so he wasn’t hit by the shockwave. Junhyuk had made up his mind. He would kill the enemy hero first, and then fight against Gongon.

Junhyuk disengaged from Gongon and threw himself at the enemy hero. He was using the gorillas’ heads as stepping stones to do it. Gongon chased after him by doing the same thing.

Junhyuk would get to the enemy hero before Gongon got to him. The enemy hero tried moving to the opposite side of the battlefield, but Junhyuk scoffed and chased after him.

The enemy hero extended his right hand. There were ten meters between Junhyuk and him.

Clang!

He felt an impact, and his body was pushed back. He was heading toward Gongon, so Junhyuk teleported quickly.

He was now behind the enemy hero, and Junhyuk stabbed at the hero’s neck. The strike wasn’t as powerful as the Spatial Slash, but it was a critical hit, and the hero died on the spot.

After killing the enemy hero, Junhyuk retreated quickly. Gongon tried chasing after him, but Junhyuk rejoined his minions.

Gongon clicked his tongue and said in frustration, “Seriously?! You were only that good?”

Junhyuk knew that the new enemies were better than those from the previous round, but he didn’t think they were all that strong. Only Gongon was actually strong. The others were average, and that’s why Layla had managed to kill him so quickly by herself.

Junhyuk retreated to the watchtower. Twenty allied minions had been killed. The gorillas had pierced their defenses, killing more minions in the process.

Gongon looked at him and smiled, asking, “What are you going to do?”

Junhyuk sighed and ran forward. When he got to the hole in the shield wall, he cut down the gorillas coming through. Unless Gongon attacked first, the archers wouldn’t attack him. They had the gorillas to worry about.

Gongon used his growth power and rushed forward. Junhyuk let himself get hit by it intentionally.

Boom!

The attack dealt a lot of damage, but Junhyuk grabbed Gongon and teleported next to the watchtower. Then, the archers on the tower began to attack Gongon.

The dragon grimaced and winced. The archers focused on him, and Gongon lost 15 percent of his health from the first volley. Gongon used his firebreath on Junhyuk, who tried blocking it. After the two attacks, Junhyuk had lost 36 percent of his health.

The allied minions started attacking Gongon. They knew that once Gongon died, Junhyuk would be able to kill all of the gorillas.

The minions attacked him from the back, and Gongon lost another 3 percent of his health. That’s when he jumped up and used his ultimate.

The flames covered everything. Junhyuk had a guess as to why Gongon was using his ultimate at that point, so he raised his force field and, suddenly, accelerated.

His perception of time increased, and Gongon flew up.

The dragon wanted to escape the archers’ attacks, but Junhyuk wouldn’t let him. He read Gongon’s flight path and used his Spatial Collapse.

While flying, Gongon was hit by the collapse and fell to the ground. The dragon lost another 43 percent of his health.

Junhyuk was buffed, so his damage had increased. He ran toward the fallen dragon. His goal was to prevent Gongon from getting away from the archers.

Gongon gritted his teeth.

“You are so cheap!”

Junhyuk had a ten-second force field, so Gongon couldn’t attack him. He only had to hold Gongon in place.

“We are fighting. Don’t tell me I’m cheap. You came at me with an extra hero!”

“Shit!”

Gongon dodged Junhyuk’s attacks dexterously, but he also had a limit. On top of that, the allied minions were still attacking Gongon.

The dragon was frustrated, and he wagged his tail around, killing two minions. However, the archers sent another volley, and Gongon lost another 15 percent of his health. He only had 21 percent left.

Junhyuk smiled with satisfaction and attacked Gongon ferociously. Gongon, on the other hand, was killing minions with his tail while retreating toward the rest of the allied minions in the shield wall. That was a big mistake.

The archers attacked again, and Gongon lost most of his health. Junhyuk stabbed Gongon’s chest, and the dragon lost the rest of it.

Gongon fell, and Junhyuk quipped, “Two fights, two victories!”

It was a joke, and Gongon laughed.

“You think I’m letting myself get killed?”

“No.”

Junhyuk knew that Gongon had made up his mind to win. He had brought three hundred minions with him.

Gongon started fading and disappeared. Junhyuk picked up the item he dropped and put it inside his Spatial Bag. Then, he looked ahead. There were only twenty-two allied minions left, so he attacked the gorillas.

“Retreat! Lean against the watchtower and raise your shields!”

The allied minions followed his instructions, and he went with them. Ordinarily, he would’ve swept through the gorillas, but now, every second mattered.

Junhyuk ignored the gorillas’ attacks and swung his sword. The gorillas could deal 1 percent damage to him with every attack, but he didn’t care. He only focused on massacring them.

As he walked forward, red and white shockwaves appeared. The shockwaves did not kill the surrounding gorillas, but behind him, only dead gorillas remained.

He killed all of the remaining gorillas from the three hundred, and although he recovered some of his health from killing Gongon and the gorillas, he was left with 75 percent of his health.

If Gongon had still been alive, he wouldn’t have been able to do it.

Junhyuk sighed, relieved, and looked at the allied minions. Not many were left. Only fourteen had survived.

He picked up the item dropped by the enemy hero and contacted the allied heroes.

“Layla, how it going?”

“We destroyed the first tower and we are now advancing to the second on the right path.”

Junhyuk had held center and the buff, so things were going well for the allies.

He said calmly, “Don’t overwork yourselves.”

“Sure.”

Junhyuk started thinking. He walked to the spot where he could see the enemy castle and watched to see how the enemies would move.

The castle had three exits, but he could only see the main gate. He kept watching it, but the gate never opened.

Junhyuk frowned.

Enough time had passed for them to revive, but the gate wasn’t opening!

They had changed their plans.
