While they were buffed, they did their best to destroy the watchtower, but when they arrived at the castle, there were five enemy heroes there.
"The buff is gone. Will this be victory by the sword?" Artlan asked, looking at them.
Junhyuk scoped out the enemy camp and said:
"They only have minions."
Among the enemies, there were no novices. That meant that they would only have the support of the archers on the walls. So, the allies only had to win the team battle.
"Are there a hundred enemy minions?"
"It looks that way."
The allied side had three times that number. The enemies had archers, but Junhyuk, as an expert, could help out with that. Junhyuk's powers could be used during the team battle, so they wouldn't send him in to kill minions, but once they did, he would massacre them.
Artlan thought for a moment and said:
"Hey, Ellic."
Ellic frowned and stepped forward, and Artlan smiled a little.
"You lost the entire set of Golden Knight Elder items. How do you feel?"
"What did you say?"
Ellic scowled and stepped forward, but Minota stopped him. Ellic turned around, and Minota frowned at him.
"Stay calm. They have to come to us."
Ellic breathed deeply and swung his hammer in a wide arc.
"Come here! Just shut up and fight!" Ellic shouted, and Artlan smacked his lips.
"That's a simple guy who is about to lose his status. He must be angry," Artlan said and looked at the group. "We probably have to go to them to fight."
"Is that possible?"
The arrows from the castle were quite dangerous, and when heroes fought, they were even more so.
Artlan pulled out a marble.
"First, the minions will draw their attention. Then, we go in."
Artlan lowered his voice as he spoke to Junhyuk.
"We will designate squads."
"Is it OK to attack in groups?"
"It will be," Artlan smiled as he answered. "Sarang will be at the center lane, and you'll put a force field around her. As the squads advance, focus on Libya."
Artlan fixed his gaze on Sarang.
"Your have a big part."
"OK."
"Before the force field disappears, we will kill Libya and attack Ellic. Then, we retreat."
"Will Ellic come after us?"
"Of course! It works better when you tease him than when you taunt him."
Artlan pulled out a marble and yelled:
"Attack!"
After he yelled, the minions went berserk and rushed. Artlan followed them, and Halo ran behind him, but Diane was the one to attack first.
She was behind the group, but she had incredible range. Diane attacked Ellic, and he blocked it with his hammer. Then, Artlan leapt.
Warren was standing in front of his group and saw Artlan and swung his claws.
Shink, shink!
Artlan's saber was so sharp that it cut through Warren's claws, and the squad moved in. Halo used his flash attack at Minota's ribs, and Nudra ran and kicked Ellic.
The leads on both sides exchanged attacks, and the archers shot down from the castle walls. It was a dangerous spot, but they were within range, so Junhyuk created a force field.
Sarang was at the center, and the force field covered the entire squad. Arrows bounced off the force field, and Artlan shouted:
"Sarang!"
Sarange fired her electric blast. The leads of the groups had shaken up the enemy camp, so she had a clear shot at Libya.
Libya was paralyzed, and Vera's fire spear and Diane's arrows flew at her, but Minota stood like a wall in front of her. Artlan saw all of that and left his squad, jumped over Minota and swung his saber at Libya.
She couldn't escape. Artlan slashed her chest, leaving a big gash. Before Artlan had a chance to continue, Ellic rushed from behind, swinging his hammer.
Clung!
Artlan rejoined his squad, and Nudra jumped forward and kicked Libya on the head before the paralysis wore off. Artlan's attack had been critical, and Nudra damaged her head, so she had lost a lot of health. Then, a firewall rose from beneath her feet.
"Aaaahh!"
Three heroes had attacked her, and Libya died without doing much. At that point, Minota rushed toward them, but was only able to push the force field a little.
Artlan and Halo attacked Minota, and Warren howled at Nudra, who had taken part in killing Libya.
"Hooowwwl!"
Nudra froze, and Warren's claws pierced his ribs, and Skia, who was already behind him, stabbed him in the back.
"Ugh!"
Libya was dead, but so was Nudra. They hadn't gained an advantage. Artlan and Halo closed in on Minota.
Minota had amazing health and strength, and his rush could be bothersome. He could also use his doppelganger skill, so it was a good idea to kill him early.
They attacked Minota, but he realized that he was the next target and used his doppelganger skill.
Both Minota and the allies retreated, but the allies attacked Ellic on the way back.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Magic and arrow attacks zoomed by, and Artlan and Halo did not look back, focused on escaping. The force field disappeared, but they were out of the archers' range.
They didn't have much time before Libya would reincarnate, but they retreated, knowing that Ellic would come after them.
Ellic was livid and ran toward them, and flanking Ellic from both sides, the Minotas ran with him. Minota wouldn't stop him, so he decided to join him along with Warren.
Skia ran behind them, looking for any opportunities.
Vera smiled.
"Libya isn't there, so they don't have any range."
She created a firewall and launched fire orbs, and behind her, Diane shot multishots. Five arrows flew across the field to hit the enemy heroes.
Junhyuk stood next to Sarang and watched the fight. The enemy lacked range, but they were full of strength and health.
Skia was probably the weakest opponent.
Without the force field, Skia could seep into a shadow and attack Sarang. The heroes were also in danger.
Junhyuk moved Sarang toward the back where Skia couldn't reach her. As Skia closed in, Skia disappeared. Skia couldn't be seen, and Junhyuk shouted:
"Be careful! Skia is gone!"
Vera set a fire orb on her shadow, and Diane ran forward. Diane's arrows were even deadlier at close range, and she focused them on Minota.
Junhyuk moved Sarang further back, and Skia appeared behind Vera.
Boom!
Skia had wanted to surprise Vera, but was hurt by the fire orb on her shadow. Skia staggered, and Vera launched fire spears at Skia.
Skia thinned out and disappeared. Junhyuk, who was watching everything, frowned.
Sarang was out of range, but Vera was still in danger. Vera created a firewall behind her back and looked around, but Skia showed up to her left and stabbed at her.
Clang!
She stopped Skia's attack with her staff, but Skia continued, and that was something Vera couldn't deal with at close range. As they came closer, Skia would be at an advantage.
Junhyuk teleported behind Skia and used the Frozen Rune Sword to slash Skia's back.
To Skia, Junhyuk was just a pest, and Skia couldn't turn around while fighting Vera, otherwise she would kill Skia.
Skia tried to sidestep and block Junhyuk's second attack, but his first attack had come with debuffs, and Skia's movement and attack speeds had decreased.
Vera launched a fire orb at Skia and grabbed Junhyuk's hand, and Junhyuk teleported away with her.
Boom!
Skia staggered from the explosion, and Vera launched another fire spear. At close range, Skia had the advantage, but at long range, Vera was superior.
Skia was hit by the fire spear and staggered again. That's when Diane hit Skia on the back of the neck.
"Ugh!"
Skia was dying, mouth agape, and Junhyuk looked around. Minota, Ellic and Warren were attacking, and Halo was wounded, but Artlan was fighting the three of them hard.
Diane and Vera attacked at will, and the enemy had no way of winning.
Junhyuk thought about going to help the minions, but Minota rushed Halo, and he was thrown off of his slot.
Junhyuk ran toward Halo's spot. Skia was gone, so no one would attack him from behind. When Junhyuk arrived, Minota laughed loudly.
"Ha-ha-ha! I've been waiting for you!"
Minota swung at Junhyuk, but he dodged to the side while swinging the Frozen Rune Sword. Minota's arm was cut, and the ice attribute froze his body. The other Minota came toward him, bumping his fists, and Junhyuk just stared at the situation.
His job was to defend until Halo came back. It was dangerous to face two Minotas, but he couldn't give way.
Artlan was fighting alone against Ellic and Warren. There was fire support from behind them, so Artlan could do it.
Halo had been dealing with both Minotas when he was launched away.
Minota had been hit with a fire spear and arrows, but he was at full strength.
He was thinking about fighting them alone when Halo returned.
"Be careful."
"OK."
He would protect himself, and his objective was to stay alive.
Both Minotas lifted their paws simultaneously, and Junhyuk retreated as far as he could.
Boom! Boom!
Two shockwaves were created simultaneously, and the shock felt stronger. Junhyuk thought he was out of range, but the simultaneous attack inflicted more damage at a longer range.
Kunk!
The impact shook his organs, and he vomited blood. Minota rushed toward him. It was a dangerous attack, but he had used both powers and was waiting for the cooldowns to end, so he lifted his swords. However, even if he blocked, he would still be in danger.
Then, a lighting bolt flew by from behind him. Sarang wanted to help, but the lightning bolt wouldn't work against Minota.
However, Minota was paralyzed. It was just for one second, but his power was gone. It only had a 3 percent chance to work, but Minota was paralyzed, and Junhyuk ran at him and stabbed him.
This time, he stabbed Minota's balls.
"AAaargh!"
