Chapter 498: Aktur 2

After massacring the enemy minions, Junhyuk turned to his own. Because the enemy minions had no defensive equipment, their speed was extraordinary, and many allied minions died as a result. Only ninety-eight allied minions survived.

Junhyuk had lost more than half of his minions.

Sitting at the buff tower, he contacted his allies.

“Gon, Layla, how are your enemies?”

Gongon answered first, “A bit annoying. I was expecting a tank, but I got a sniper.”

Junhyuk looked at Layla, who smacked her lips and said, “We have a tank. The tank ignores most of our damage and can attack from midrange. I can’t get close.”

That meant that her enemy’s defense had to be pretty high.

Junhyuk went over the enemies he had fought, “Gon, you know Aktur. He’s one of the heroes.”

“Aktur? That mummy?”

“Yeah. He’s become fairly annoying now.”

“But he’s still Aktur...”

“Not really. His Perfect Evasion is through the roof, and he bought legendary weapons from last season. His damage is enormous.”

“Yeah? Wait, his ultimate was...!”

“Right. That’s what I want to talk about.”

Layla seemed interested as well, “What ultimate?”

“He can teleport, but not like me.”

Layla seemed to understand the situation.

“Then, he can appear out of the blue while we are fighting other heroes?”

“That’s right. Aktur’s ultimate is not great when he is engaged in battle, but he can join battles from anywhere on the map. On top of that, his weapons deal a lot of damage.”

Junhyuk had lost 5 percent of his health from Aktur’s regular attack. He and Gongon had the best defense among the allies, so the damage was significant.

Gongon frowned and said, “I’m in a bad spot.”

“Right. Whoever ends up alone will be at a disadvantage.”

Gongon stared at him and said, “Next time, you go alone. You can always run away.”

Junhyuk laughed out loud. It was true that he could escape from Aktur. With three teleportations, he could easily cover ninety meters.

“Let’s talk about that later. Right now, don’t get pulled by the enemy. Buy us some time.”

“What are you going to do?”

Junhyuk said calmly, “We’ll go hunt a buff monster. We can’t let them get to those first.”

“OK. I’ll buy you time. Aktur can’t make that much of a difference.”

Junhyuk looked straight at the dragon and said in a serious tone, “Don’t think of him as your former ally. Aktur will kill you if you do.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be careful.”

Junhyuk turned to the others. They had taken the tower’s buff, so now it was time for them to hunt for buff monsters.

“Elise, stay here and protect this place,” he told her.

“You want me to watch out for incoming enemies?”

Junhyuk nodded and added, “The new buff monsters are strong. I can’t kill one by myself.”

“OK. I’ll wait for you here.”

Looking at Sarang, he said, “Let’s hurry.”

“Where do we go?”

“Let’s head to the left and back. We’ll make our way back here while looking for it.”

“OK.”

Junhyuk hadn’t seen the buff monster that doubled attack speed and buffed health regeneration in the last battle.

They took the portal and moved out quickly. However, they couldn’t be as fast as Aktur.

The two looked for a trace of the roaming buff monster, but got contacted by Gongon on the way.

“Holy shit! I’m so pissed! Why is Aktur so much stronger now?!”

“His items.”

Aktur’s powers weren’t bad either. His skeleton soldiers were influenced by the level of his items, and his evasion rate was absurd. It was at least at 50 percent. If it kept triggering continuously, an ally could easily lose their life to him.

Ronga could be killed by a barrage of attacks, but Aktur was different. Because his evasion rate was so high, one needed to be lucky to kill the hero.

“It would be nice to have attacks that can’t miss.”

It would be nice if there was an item for that.

The allies had lost the left path, but the right path was still up. If Aktur went there by himself, there would still be two heroes for him to contend with.

“Once I kill the buff monster, I’ll join them.”

“Sure.”

The two ran as fast as they could and saw the roaming buff monster in the distance. It was their first time seeing it. It looked like a praying mantis, but with four arms.

“It doesn’t look easy,” Junhyuk said when he saw the monster.

Ronga had killed it by himself, but Ronga had had the expert with the heal.

“I’ll go first.”

Junhyuk’s defense was much higher than Sarang’s. As he approached, the monster turned to look at him. It slashed with its front legs.

Junhyuk used his swords to block the attack, but he still got damaged. The monster had four legs, so he couldn’t keep up. He got slashed in the ribs, but due to his high defense, he only lost 7 percent of his health. However, he could tell its attack was very high from that.

He bit his lips and attacked faster. The monster’s attack speed was very high as well.

Junhyuk had already let three attacks through. He was even more surprised as he continued fighting. The mantis was moving extremely fast even without using its powers.

Junhyuk used his Spatial Collapse.

Craaaack!

He also used the Spatial Slash on the monster. The two attacks were incredible and dealt a lot of damage, but the monster didn’t die.

“What is this thing?!”

Bolts of lightning crashed on the monster.

Craaack, boom!

The monster still did not die.

Slash!

As Junhyuk’s ribs were sliced, he bit his lips and attacked. Junhyuk managed to slice the manti’s neck, killing it.

[You’ve killed the Mantis Lord. For the next five hours, your attack speed will increase by 100 percent and your regeneration rate will increase by 50 percent. If you die, you’ll lose these buffs to your opponent.]

After receiving the buff, he looked at Sarang. She was also buffed.

Sarang healed him, and he smiled at her.

“We found it fast enough. Let’s take the portal and support the others.”

“Sure.”

Gongon had lost, so he had decided to join Layla, but at that moment, Layla contacted him.

“I lost.”

“What are you talking about?”

“The enemy wasn’t a tank. The hero was a support with high defense. When Aktur joined, we lost.”

Junhyuk sighed. Aktur’s ultimate was extremely powerful when used correctly. The skirmishes all required time, so Aktur had the advantage in that scenario.

Junhyuk bit his lips and said, “Nothing we can do now. Regroup at the buff tower.”

“At the buff tower?”

“We can stop him there.”

“Do you want to have a team battle there?”

“It’s the only way. He might move back to the left, so I’ll warn Gongon to join as well.”

“Do it.”

Junhyuk turned to Sarang and said, “We should head back to the buff tower.”

The allies could gather there before all of the enemies arrived, and once that happened, a team battle would take place.

The enemies had to head to the buff tower as well if they were trying to predict the allies’ next move.

The two went on their way.

“Our enemies might get there before us.”

“How?”

“By using the portals.”

Junhyuk shook his head and said, “They won’t all get there. Aktur just took the left, so just the heroes on the right path can use the portal to reach the buff tower for now.”

“Then, we can still save the buff tower.”

“Right. It’ll be nice to win, but we should focus on stalling them there.” As he walked, Junhyuk added, “I’m confident we can manage it.”

Junhyuk was buffed, so he wasn’t scared. Ronga had become very strong with those same buffs, and since he and Sarang both had the buffs, they were feeling confident.

The two reached the portal and headed back to the buff tower. There, he asked Elise, “The enemies?”

“They are coming.”

The enemy watchtower had been destroyed, so Junhyuk looked down from the top of the mountain and saw a group of enemies climbing. It would take them about two and a half hours to reach the top.

He went back to the buff tower, and Elise asked, “Can our enemies use the portals?”

“They can.”

“We should wait by the portal here and attack them one by one as they come out then.”

Junhyuk smiled and said, “Great idea!”

The three allies stood in front of the portal. Their enemies could come out all at once, but if they came out one at a time, the allies could get rid of them with ease.

As he waited, Junhyuk accelerated. He wanted to be faster than the enemies once they showed up.

The portal shone bright, and Junhyuk swung his sword. A huge, gray robot with two arms walked out. Junhyuk attacked its chest, and there was no way for the hero to defend against it.

He kept attacking, but at the same time, he was attacked from three directions. Junhyuk blocked all of the attacks. His buff allowed him to do so with ease.

Suddenly, shadow hands burst out of the ground. Aktur had crossed the portal.
