Legend of Legends Chapter 297 – Variable 2

Multi-status ailments created difficulties. When enemies had powers like that, that meant that during an engagement, the allies wouldn’t be able to do anything while the enemy dealt them damage unimpeded.

Junhyuk sighed and said, “I am sorry. If my powers had not been sealed off…”

Artlan shook his head.

“The enemy came after you intentionally. Without your force field, they can summon the demon and deal greater damage to us.”

“The demon’s ability to deal damage is absurd.”

“It is a power of the highest rank.”

Halo also agreed, “It’s of a rank even higher than your force field.”

Junhyuk clicked his tongue. Until now, he had thought his force field had no equal, but now, he was hearing the enemy’s power was even higher ranked.

Junhyuk started thinking about how to combine the allies’ powers in the next fight when Vera and Diane walked out, and he frowned slightly. They both had died, which meant that the allies had been annihilated.

Soon, the door opened again, and Sarang staggered outside. Junhyuk went over to her, gave her his body for support and asked, “Are you OK?”

“I’m not.”

Junhyuk knew the feeling. It was not possible to get used to death, a fight with emptiness.

He turned to Vera and Diane and asked, “What happened?”

“What happened was that nobody could block for us, so we did not survive.”

“Did you kill anyone?”

Vera sighed and said, “We managed to kill Lujet, but we were unable to pick up the item he dropped before we got killed.”

He sighed.

“What do we do now?”

Vera looked at Sarang.

“Sarang, you stay here, and we’ll attack the middle lane.”

“What if we meet the enemy?”

“If we meet three, we fight again, and we’ll target the enemy expert,” Artlan said.

The allies could kill the expert easily even though the expert might hide.

Junhyuk nodded and added, “Let’s do it.” Then, he summoned the Kasha and said, “If something happens, let us know.”

“I will.”

He caressed Sarang’s head and added, “Stay and relax. It’ll be a while before the enemy gets here.”

“You be careful, too.”

“Sure, I’ll be careful.”

Junhyuk had died more times after meeting the legend candidates than during all his time in the battlefield before meeting them. He started thinking about how to fight them, that he should be more careful about using his force field. The legend candidates had enough health to withstand the ten seconds of the force field, and they also had the demon.

The group decided to push middle. They had already destroyed the second middle tower, and it was the shortest path to the castle, but their enemies might try to go middle as well.

Junhyuk walked with Artlan, thinking about how to cause the living spirit to explode in a single point, but it wasn’t easy.

“Next time, they won’t kill me so easily.”

He thought he could kill the expert with his Spatial Slash. Although he wanted to save it, it would be worse for him to die because he had saved his own power.

—

The second middle tower had been destroyed, but they did not meet any enemies. After some thought, Artlan said, “We’ll head to the castle. We have to fight sooner or later.”

The enemies had to be protecting their castle. While the allies didn’t know how many enemies would be at the castle, they must have sent some heroes to the allied castle.

Some of them should have remained to protect their castle, but if their numbers were low, the allies could kill them and advance. If the enemies were quicker to get to the allied castle, the allies would have to return.

Junhyuk stood in front of the castle and looked at the enemies.

Klamp, Keros and Tuelus were waiting for the allies.

“No expert.”

“Do they think they can push us back with just three?”

“They are capable of it, just like last time.”

Junhyuk sighed and asked, “Then, should we start?”

The enemies were standing on the castle wall, and it wouldn’t be easy to fight them while the archers were on the wall. They were already hard to deal with without them.

Before the allies moved, Junhyuk stepped forward. He had the Spatial Slash, which was a strong attack. As he stepped forward, the enemies twitched.

They were a bit scared of his Spatial Slash since they didn’t know where it was coming from. Seeing that, Junhyuk smirked at his enemies.

His target was certainly Tuelus, but if Tuelus was ready for it, it wouldn’t be easy to hit him with the Spatial Slash. And unless the attack was a critical hit, the damage would also be rather low.

The allied heroes ran ahead of him. If they could block for him, he might get a chance.

Then, Klamp ran forward. If Klamp grabbed him, Junhyuk wouldn’t have a chance to use the force field. He had no time to wait, so he used the Spatial Slash.

Tuelus was running behind the others, but the Spatial Slash still hit his neck.

“Argh!” he groaned, making up his mind.

The strike was a critical hit, and it took 33 percent off Tuelus’ health. Then, the extra attack triggered. The bonus damage rounded up, taking 50 percent of 35 percent, dealing 17 percent to Tuelus for a total of 50 percent of his health.

It was an unexpected success.

Realizing he was low on health, Tuelus frowned. He was about to retreat when Halo stepped forward. He passed by Klamp while slashing Klamp’s ribs with the flash attack. However, Klamp simply ignored Halo and extended his hand.

Junhyuk felt himself being pulled toward Klamp, but as he did, he teleported. Knowing that Klamp would probably use his sealing power, Junhyuk teleported away, so Klamp decided not to use it. However, Klamp’s eyes turned red, and realizing what that meant, Junhyuk shouted, “Watch out!”

Keros ran quickly toward him and swung his massive sword down at Junhyuk. The giant sword slammed into the ground, creating a shockwave. Junhyuk had stepped into the attack while trying to get away from Klamp’s sealing power.

It wasn’t Keros’ ultimate, so he wanted to teleport, but he couldn’t. Instead, he raised the force field around Vera.

Boom!

When the shockwave hit, the allied heroes were already inside the force field. There, they didn’t have to worry about the archers’ attacks, so they all ran forward.

Artlan took the lead and jumped, his saber aiming at Tuelus. The enemy hero quickly retreated. After having lost half of his health, he escaped Artlan’s attack. Keros stepped in front of Tuelus and blocked the saber with precision.

Clang!

Because Artlan had jumped out of the force field, he was damaged by Keros’ reflective damage.

Junhyuk ran toward Artlan, and that’s when the Kasha on his shoulder spoke up suddenly, “The enemy is here!”

Junhyuk bit his lips and said, “Stay inside the castle’s force field. We’ll return once we are finished.”

Sarang would be safe inside the force field even if the allies lost. She couldn’t deal with the enemies alone, so staying inside the force field was the smartest thing she could do.

Because the Kasha had shouted, all allied heroes had heard the news.

Keros and Klamp blocked the allies’ way out. The two had higher health and defense than Tuelus.

Meanwhile, Junhyuk retreated into the allied line and shouted, “Grab me!”

All of the heroes touched him, and he teleported. Passing Klamp and Keros, they all reappeared in front of Tuelus. The hero tried to run away, and Junhyuk smirked. The allies wouldn’t lose Tuelus while he was right in front of them.

A firewall blocked Tuelus’ path, and another rose behind Keros and Klamp, separating them from the allies.

Tuelus scowled, and Nudra jumped high up. The enemy hero looked behind him and saw something unexpected. A barrage of arrows was flying toward him. The two machines above Tuelus’ shoulders tried to block the arrows, but they couldn’t block all of them.

Tuelus had lost a lot of health quickly when Nudra landed on him.

Boom!

Nudra had kicked Tuelus’ head, and Vera threw a fire spear. The best option would be for Vera to kill Tuelus, but now wasn’t the time to make decisions on that. Everyone focused on the enemy hero. Meanwhile, Junhyuk looked around.

The enemies had only sent two to the allied castle, but two might be enough to take it down. In fact, they could have only sent one, and it would’ve probably been enough to destroy the wall and kill the two giant golems.

The allies were pressed for time.

Tuelus met his end with Diane’s explosive arrow. While the hero disappeared with the explosion, the allied force field also disappeared. Junhyuk had used the Spatial Slash first, so now all of his powers were gone.

In their current situation, there were two enemies left, and the force field was gone.

Klamp’s powers were designed to create abnormal situations, and although Keros also had nice powers, they weren’t that impressive.

“We have to act quick and return.”

“Right.”

Halo ran forward, swinging his sword. He targeted Keros while Nudra kicked Klamp, launching him back.

While Klamp got pushed back, all allied heroes attacked Keros. However, Keros didn’t just sit there. The hero used his high speed to escape, and it was surprisingly fast. One of Keros’ powers was a speed boost that could be used for rushing or retreating.

The allies chased after Keros, and because their backs were exposed to the archers, they kept on chasing him as Keros retreated out of the archers’ range. The archers were buffed, so the allies couldn’t afford to fight them now. By following Keros, they had gotten clear of the archers.

Klamp stepped forward, and the allies rushed toward him. Klamp did the same and released the pulse field, using his sealing power.

The allies scowled. They couldn’t use their powers and they also didn’t have a lot of time. The allies had to kill their enemies and return to save their castle. Therefore, they all rushed toward Klamp, and so did Junhyuk.

Klamp was very big and blocked the allies’ path. Meanwhile, Keros was rejoining the fight. Because Keros’ defense was lower than Klamp’s, the allies thought they should attack him instead. They could ignore Klamp’s ultimate, but Keros’ was different. Keros hadn’t used his ultimate yet, and the allies had to kill him before he did.

The allies all turned to Keros, but a sudden noise came from behind them.

Boom!

Junhyuk turned to look and shouted, “The enemies have returned!”

The allies had thought about killing the enemies and going back, but the enemies had returned first. Aak was now running toward the allies, and Junhyuk gritted his teeth.

Aware of what was happening, Keros ran back toward the allies.

Nudra released a gust of wind on Aak, pushing him back, and the allies gained some breathing room. However, suddenly, the demon was summoned right on top of the allies.

Lujet had also returned with Aak.

“Shit!”
