Junhyuk and Elise went to hunt the Queen Harpy. The minions behind them were all anxious and tense, and Junhyuk stepped forward and asked, “Elise, do you want to summon Zaira and have her fight?”

He wanted to know if Zaira would be restrained in the Dimensional Battlefield, which was why he made the suggestion. Elise agreed immediately and asked, “Do we have to catch those?”

The Queen Harpy and the subordinate harpies were flying up in the air. Their numbers weren’t small, so it wouldn’t be easy. Junhyuk was anxious to see what would happen.

A-ranked monsters were restrained in the Dimensional Battlefield, so how about Zaira?

Suddenly, Zaira appeared while he was looking at the harpies. Zaira was jade-colored, and as soon as it showed up, it flew up. The jade scales on its back all rose up and released a strong wing.

The Queen Harpy and the other harpies dove toward Zaira, who extended its arms toward them. The scales on its arms rose up, and small missiles appeared from beneath them.

They were tracking missiles. They flew off toward the monsters, exploding on impact.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Junhyuk watched the harpies die. Thanks to Zaira’s special weapon, they had been killed easily. All of its weapons had been bathed in decomposition liquid.

After killing the harpies, Zaira fired its smallest missile at the Queen Harpy, who beat its wings.

Boo-boom-boom!

The Queen Harpy had created a wind wall that had blocked the missile. Unfazed, Zaira moved forward. It could fly, so Zaira was the worst enemy the Queen Harpy could face.

The Queen Harpy swung its talons at Zaira, who blocked it with its left hand. Then, a Wolf Warlord Claw appeared in Zaira’s right hand. It was countering. Zaira grabbed one of the Queen Harpy’s talons and attacked the Queen Harpy ferociously. Zaira tried to pierce its chest, but the Queen Harpy was strong. The Queen Harpy twisted itself in the middle of the air, diving rapidly to the ground. Right as the Queen Harpy was about to land, Zaira, who was still holding on, twisted the Queen Harpy’s talon.

Crack!

Before the Queen Harpy could land, it got its leg mangled. Zaira was strong enough to destroy a Queen Harpy’s leg.

Both of them fell to the ground.

Boom!

However, only the Queen Harpy crashed. When it started beating its wings, trying to take flight, Junhyuk teleported and beheaded the Queen Harpy.

He had done it easily because he was buffed. After that, he looked at Elise, and she shrugged.

“The summoning time isn’t over yet, but I can return Zaira.”

Junhyuk smiled. Elise was being herself. She wasn’t nervous at all. She slowly walked over and put the Queen Harpy’s body inside her Spatial Bag before it disappeared. Then, she turned around and said, “Hm… This is fun!”

There was nothing around the Queen Harpy, no mana stones and no bloodstones. However, Elise gathered tree leaves from the area happily.

“These are special trees. They’ll help me in my research.”

To Elise and for her research, the Dimensional Battlefield was incredibly valuable.

Junhyuk walked toward her and asked, “What do you think? Was Zaira’s power at 100 percent capacity?”

“Considering the impact of its tiny missile, its weaponry has been restrained by at least 40 percent. As for movement speed and physical strength, Zaira is able to use them at 70-percent capacity.”

Junhyuk could guess why Elise had said that. The weapons had been restrained more significantly so as not to affect the surroundings, but everything else at 70 percent matched other A-ranked monsters.

Staring at Elise, he asked, “Shall we attack?”

“Would that be possible with just us?”

Junhyuk nodded and replied, “It’s possible.”

The mantis was problematic, but he was still no match for Junhyuk. Right now, they were buffed, so their success rate also went up. If he comboed the enemies, it would be easy.

Junhyuk took the group and started moving. The allies were still holding the buff tower, so catching up to his enemies was easy.

Junhyuk could guess where they were by using their speed to measure the distance that they had travelled. The mantis was really fast, but the porcupine was slow, so they had to be moving rather slow with the minions.

Junhyuk took the lead, and they reached the first allied tower. They hid in the reed field and watched the tower.

Looking at the group, Junhyuk said, “When the enemies get here, I’ll kill the porcupine. The mantis won’t come to the reed field, but if he does, Elise, summon Zaira and deal with him.”

She nodded, and he looked at the minions, “You make a shield wall. The enemy minions can climb over that, so be ready to use your swords quickly.”

He told the allied minions to stab the insect minions. If they did that, they wouldn’t die so easily.

Junhyuk added calmly, “Focus on your defense.”

The allied minions all nodded, and he looked ahead. He expected the enemies to appear at any moment and he wasn’t wrong. The mantis and the porcupine showed up with a hundred minions.

“They are wasting minions.”

Having that large a number of minions would make it easy to destroy a structure, but in their situation, the minions would die easily, creating a problem for them later.

However, he understood the enemies’ train of thought. The right path was wide open, so they must’ve thought Junhyuk headed elsewhere. However, they were mistaken.

He could deal with the two enemy heroes by himself.

The enemy heroes approached the watchtower nervously. Junhyuk knew that he had to cover the distance between the reed field and the enemies in one teleportation. Then, he would use the Spatial Slash to kill the porcupine.

He turned to Elise and said, “I’ll be back.”

As soon as the enemies attacked the watchtower, he teleported. He came from behind them without them even knowing and used his Spatial Slash. The attacked sliced through the porcupine’s neck. Thanks to the buffs, the attack also triggered extra damage, killing the porcupine.

The enemy minions kept heading toward the watchtower. They had not noticed him while he killed the porcupine. When the mantis turned around, he was already heading toward the hero.

When the mantis realized Junhyuk was alone, he ordered, “Kill him!”

The minions all turned around and ran toward him, and the mantis retreated. A hundred minions were coming his way, but Junhyuk ran faster and without hesitation. As the minions tried to attack him, Junhyuk swung his swords while passing them by. The shockwaves triggered, but they had no effect on the minions. They only worked on heroes now.

The mantis watched the fight for a bit and then dove forward, quickly closing in against him, attempting to the deliver a sharp attack. However, Junhyuk blocked it with his swords.

Clang!

The mantis had rushed against him, and Junhyuk lost 5 percent of his health. While the mantis used his arms to block his attacks, minions from all around him attacked him. Junhyuk took a second to think before he teleported. He reappeared within range of the watchtower.

The archers started shooting, and the arrows hit the mantis. The hero kept attacking him even while under the archers’ attacks. At close range, the mantis swung his legs, and that’s when Junhyuk raised his force field.

Clang, clang, clang!

The mantis’ attacks reverberated loudly, but they couldn’t do anything against the force field. It was Junhyuk’s turn. The mantis’ attacks had been ferocious, but Junhyuk accelerated as he slashed at the hero. The mantis started getting wounded bit by bit. Junhyuk did not want to let the hero escape, so he was trying to overwhelm the mantis.

The mantis could not teleport, and he was also getting hit by the archers attacks. The hero lost 30 percent of his health to the archers, and right as Junhyuk was thinking of finishing the fight, the mantis howled loudly.

“Rrraaaawwwr!”

The sudden howl made Junhyuk take a few steps back, giving the mantis an opening to start running.

“Catch him!”

The mantis health was very low at that point, about 20 percent, and he could kill the hero with one hit. However, as the mantis ran away, he laughed at the hero. The mantis did not know about his powers.

Zaira rushed out of the reed field and started firing its missiles. How effective would they be against a hero?

Junhyuk waited.

He had hit the mantis with the Frozen Rune Sword, debuffing the hero’s speed. Because of that, the mantis was unable to block all of the missiles.

Boom, boom, boom!

Six missiles hit the mantis, dealing 9 percent of damage to the hero. Four missiles had been blocked, but the damage was still high.

The mantis defense was low, but the missiles were dealing damage to the hero from a long distance.

Zaira was closing in on the mantis. Junhyuk chuckled and extended his hand. He wanted to check Zaira’s damage, but he would kill the mantis himself.

He triggered a Spatial Collapse and killed the mantis. Meanwhile, Zaira wielded the Wolf Warlord’s claw and started attacking the minions. The enemy minions attacked Zaira, but the gynoid’s shell was made out of dragon scales. Zaira wasn’t even scratched.

Junhyuk joined the fight, and the enemy minions were massacred. At the end, Elise walked to him, and he smiled at her.

“Zaira can fight heroes.”

She smiled to him and replied, “Next time, I’ll try buffing Zaira.”

Junhyuk stared at Elise. She could buff things, just like Jeffrey. If it had to do with magitek, Zaira would become stronger.

Zaira’s summoning time was rather short, but it could kill a hero by itself.
