Chapter 150: Chance of Victory 2

Translator: - - Editor: - -

Kaljaque was running without looking back, and Lugos and Gyulsean saw that and started retreating. This time, they were luring him into their range, and he wasn't thinking of stopping.

Kaljaque's strong rush was aimed at Gyulsean, but the enemy wasn't interested in making way for him. Lugos stepped forward and tried to stop his rush. Junhyuk took some steps back, and Gyulsean took out her bow and readied an arrow.

Kaljaque's health was only at 20 percent. If the enemies used their powers on him, he could be killed. Gyulsean was drawing her bowstring, and Junhyuk saw that she was within his range and swung his sword. Before she had a chance to release the arrow, a gash opened on the side of her neck, and she started bleeding out. It was a fatal blow, and Gyulsean's eyes widened. She didn't understand how or why she was dying. She didn't understand Junhyuk's powers yet.

[You've killed Gyulsean and earned 3,000G.]

Gyulsean disappeared, and Junhyuk scoped out the battlefield. Once Gyulsean died, the shockwave swept the lizardmen nearby away. They had thought they had to stay out of Junhyuk's way, so they had gathered around Gyulsean and were killed as a group.

Kaljaque wasn't interested in Gyulsean's death and headed toward Lugos, whose body turned all black to stop his rush. Lugos was shocked that Gyulsean had died, and his single eye opened wide.

Junhyuk headed towards Lugos, who had already engaged Kaljaque. Junhyuk saw Kaljaque raising his staff and got the urge to curse him out, but he remained calm. Lugos has already turned black, and he won't be able to inflict a lot of damage. Why is he trying that again?

He quickly approached Lugos. Lugos was focused on dealing with Kaljaque rather than Junhyuk. Kaljaque had very little health left, and Lugos' goal was to kill him. He had to be thinking that.

Lugos swung his four weapons, damaging Kaljaque. The tower also attacked him, but he ignored it and kept fighting Lugos. Kaljaque had 5 percent of his health left and couldn't keep fighting Lugos. Junhyuk slashed Lugos' ribs with the Frozen Rune Sword, touched Kaljaque and teleported.

Kaljaque had been pounding on Lugos, but now there was some distance between them, and he swung at the empty air and frowned.

"Why are we running again?!"

"Do you really want to die?" Junhyuk shouted back, having lost his patience.

Junhyuk was angry, and Kaljaque was dumbstruck. Junhyuk had been patient and paid him compliments, and his anger surprised Kaljaque. He turned his head to look at Lugos, who was running toward them. From Lugos' point of view, Kaljaque only had 5 percent of his health left, and he really wanted to kill him.

Lugos had 50 percent of his health left, and he seemed confident that he would still kill Kaljaque even if he were attacked by Junhyuk.

Junhyuk stood in front of Kaljaque and said, "Both of us can survive and kill him, so stay back!"

Lugos came really close to them, but he was out of range of the tower's supporting fire. The amount of health he had left meant that Junhyuk would have to attack him eight more times to take him down.

Junhyuk was highly focused and headed toward Lugos. He didn't give Kaljaque a chance. If he had, Kaljaque would be killed.

Junhyuk stepped up, and Lugos swung hard. Lugos' four arms and four weapons made it hard for Junhyuk to find a weak spot. Junhyuk stopped heading after him and stepped aside, so Lugos passed him by and headed to Kaljaque.

Kaljaque was very happy that Lugos was coming for him. He had regained 1 percent of his health and now had 6 percent total and might be able to withstand two of Lugos' blows.

Junhyuk moved quickly behind Lugos, and Kaljaque howled suddenly, "Graaaahh!"

The sudden howl was timed perfectly, and it paralyzed Lugos. Then, Kaljaque slammed his staff against Lugos' head.

Crrraaack!

He dealt a lot of damage to Lugos' head, and Lugos lost 12 percent of his health in one hit. It looked like a critical hit to Junhyuk, and he wanted to seize that opportunity, so he swung his sword.

Junhyuk slashed Lugos' back, damaging him. His back was defenseless, and Junhyuk inflicted 10 percent of damage to Lugos' total health. His health dropped from 50 to 28 percent, but once he could move, he stomped the ground.

Boom!

The shockwave rose from the ground, sending Junhyuk and Kaljaque into the air. Junhyuk clicked his tongue. There was a gap between him and Kaljaque, and he couldn't touch him. He couldn't teleport.

Lugos' arms enlarged to twice their normal size, and he looked at Kaljaque. All four arms were double their size, and it looked like Kaljaque would die soon.

The shockwave had also damaged them, and Kaljaque only had 1 percent of his health left. Junhyuk decided to take a chance. He teleported by himself underneath Lugos' chin and stabbed upward through his head with the Blood Rune Sword. He expertly avoided hitting bones and stabbed upward, delivering a critical hit.

Lugos lost a lot of health. It decreased by 15 percent, leaving him with 13 percent left. Junhyuk pushed the Blood Rune Sword deeper and stab his eye with the Frozen Rune Sword.

It was another critical hit, and Lugos lost another 10 percent of his health and was left with 3 percent. He had also lost his eye, but he tried to attack Junhyuk. However, Junhyuk was close to his chest, and his arms were too thick at that point to grab him, and Junhyuk wasn't interested in being attacked.

His health would decline rapidly if Lugos hit him with a strong attack, and he might even die, so Junhyuk pulled his swords out and crawled between Lugos' legs, appearing on the other side. Lugos attacked the empty air, and Kaljaque slammed his staff on him.

Craaaack!

Lugos only had 3 percent of his health left, and that single blow took his last breath away. Junhyuk watched Lugos disappear, surprised. He had practically killed Lugos by himself, but Kaljaque stole the kill from him.

[Kaljaque killed Lugos.]

The Swamp of Despair had a announcement system that told combatants who had been killed by whom. Junhyuk heard the voice, and his eyebrows twitched. Kaljaque laughed very hard.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha! What do you think? I saved you."

Junhyuk wanted to slap him, but he was his comrade. So, Junhyuk exhaled deeply and pulled himself together.

"Worry about your health."

"Don't worry. I have the fastest regenerative power among champions."

He was speaking the truth. He was regaining health as he talked. Then, Kaljaque turned back and shouted, "Attack! Destroy the tower!"

The lizardmen followed his order and ran. Junhyuk wanted to contribute and also saw Kaljaque running.

"Kaljaque!"

Kaljaque had regained some health, but he only had 2 percent of his health left. The tower wasn't buffed, but an attack from the tower would still kill him. However, Kaljaque didn't look back at Junhyuk even after he shouted, so he was hit with an arrow and staggered. Junhyuk ran to him and stepped on his shoulders, blocking the incoming arrows.

"Retreat!"

"I want to destroy the tower."

Junhyuk stopped the arrows coming toward them and shouted, "You will be killed!"

"When you are killed by the tower, you don't lose any money."

What the hell is he talking about?! Junhyuk wanted to pry his head open and look inside. The lizardmen went for the tower, and the archers began attacking them instead.

Junhyuk looked at him and asked, "How did you survive the Valley of Death?"

"Hm... Simple. When you have only one life, just stay inside the castle."

"What?!"

He sounded extremely stupid, and Junhyuk felt sorry for the heroes who fought with him.

"Don't step in until you've regained your health. I will siege the tower."

Junhyuk's eyes gave off a very sharp look, and Kaljaque felt very stupid and avoided them.

"OK. Do it fast. If not, I will step in."

Junhyuk had heard enough, and turned and ran. The lizardmen were attacking the tower, and Junhyuk swung his sword. The tower had a force field, but it was much weaker than the one in the Valley of Death.

They didn't look strong at all, and their force field was also weak, so Junhyuk struck fast and the tower's force field quickly crumbled.

The tower was almost destroyed, and Junhyuk looked at Kaljaque. He was already attacking with his staff with only 3 percent of his health left. Junhyuk wanted to complain, but he didn't. It would have been like reciting poetry for the troll's ears.

Crraaaaack!

The force field was gone, and the tower was destroyed. Junhyuk sighed and looked at Kaljaque. He looked very proud.

"It's been a long time since we destroyed an enemy tower first."

"Kaljaque."

"Yes?"

Junhyuk spoke to him calmly, "Kajaque is a warrior. I can tell from your powers and the courage you've shown here today."

Junhyuk felt no need to respect him any further and talked down to him, but Kaljaque didn't realize that.

"Ha-ha-ha! You are very wise."

"But..." Junhyuk started and stared at him so hard he was about to drill a hole in Kaljaque's face. "You must know when to use your courage. Otherwise, you are just gold coins for the enemy."

"What?"

"In single combat, you may do as you wish. We are all champions here, and there won't be any difference."

"I like one-on-one fights."

Junhyuk nodded.

"Right. So, only get in one-on-one fights."

"What?" Kaljaque looked baffled, and Junhyuk clarified it even more.

"When you are in the tower's range or there are two champions facing you, just step back."

"Stepping back isn't the way of a warrior."

Junhyuk was angry, but he said patiently, "On the Valley of Death, you said that when you get down to your last life you stay inside the castle."

"Sure, that's the right way to do things, but we have unlimited revives here. Why do I have to stay back?"

"When you die, the enemy earns 3,000G, and it will make the enemy stronger."

Kaljaque bit his lips and complained, "But warriors don't step back."

He was very stupid and stubborn. Junhyuk realized he couldn't reason with him, so he grabbed Kaljaque's forearm.

"This time we killed two!"

"Ha-ha-ha! Right. I killed one of them by smashing his brains in."

Junhyuk was the one who almost killed him, and he wanted to go over it, but didn't.

"Right. Just do as I tell you, and you will kill many more and become stronger."

"Stronger?"

"Sure. Your equipment will get better, making you stronger."

"Correct."

"When you are stronger, you will kill three champions by yourself."

Kaljaque was listening now.

"That will happen soon."

"Sure. Real warriors can do that."

"Ha-ha-ha-ha!. Right. Real warriors."

"Right. So, do as I tell you."

Kaljaque pounded on Junhyuk's shoulder.

"Don't worry. Just trust me."

Junhyuk looked at him and still felt nervous. He had said that, but he might still run straight toward the enemy camp at any time.

Junhyuk had to compliment him often and indoctrinate him more.

"Then, shall we move?"

"Let's. We should get to the castle before Aktur does."

Junhyuk really wanted to pry Kaljaque's head open.
