Chapter 103: Equipment Skills 2
Junhyuk was done buying from Bebe and walked out with Nudra. They were supposed to join up with the rest of the group in front of the castle wall, but they couldn’t go there yet.
They were only three people, and even though their strength had increased, their enemies had paralytic powers that they had to avoid.
They were walking when Nudra frowned and said, "We need to pick up the pace."
"What is the matter?"
"They are being chased."
Junhyuk frowned at what he said. The enemies weren’t stupid. They knew they had the advantage and wanted to keep it that way by chasing after them, but the allies had not been captured yet.
"How many are there?"
"There are four of them."
Nudra was already running at full speed. He was so fast that Junhyuk had a hard time keeping up, but he didn’t abandon Sarang. The two of them made a big difference.
"How come there are four of them?"
"I don’t know."
They were missing one. Where did that person go?
It was a mystery, but the important thing was to rejoin the group and counterattack. When they killed their enemies, the castle would easily fall.
They were still running when they encountered Halo, Vera and Diane fleeing. The three saw Junhyuk’s group and waved at them.
"They are right behind us."
Junhyuk looked at the incoming enemies. Regina was missing. Jean Clo was in the lead, and once they saw the allies regrouping, they slowed down. Adolphe was also with them, so they were about evenly matched.
The allies got in position, and Jean Clo cracked his neck and said, "When we were fighting the dragon, you gave it to us good."
Halo stepped forward and slashed his sword across the air.
"I don’t want to talk. Let’s begin."
"You are hotheaded," Jean Clo said and clasped his hands together. "We got beaten because of the dragon. I’m not that easy."
After he said that, Jean Clo stepped forward, but they couldn’t focus on him. Halo had to keep him busy while the allies dealt with the other enemy attackers. Their enemies had to be thinking the same thing, and they even had another tank. He wasn’t like Jean Clo, however. He had lower tanking capabilities than Jean Clo, but his attack was much higher. He could also rush.
Indeed, Bater rushed ahead. He ran like a real tank, and Nudra stepped forward. He made a fist, and the dragon aura covered his body. Then, he front kicked the running Bater.
Boom!
Bater got pushed away, but Nudra also bounced back from their attacks clashing. Nudra got up and dashed forward. His speed had really increased, so the Dragon Gloves had to be buffing him. He was quickly covering the distance when Doctor Tula shot his spider web. However, Nudra had already left the spot where Doctor Tula had aimed, and the web sprayed across the empty air. Nudra had jumped in the air to drop kick Killa.
Boom!
Killa had been aiming her rifle at him and couldn’t move. She was a ranged attacker, and Nudra’s kick took a toll on her. Then, Nudra released a strong gust from his hand on her back.
Boom!
Killa was pushed away and found herself within Diane’s range. Diane let go of her bowstring, but Killa escaped the arrows by jumping. Nudra tried to chase after her, but Bater closed in on him, delivering a one-two combo.
Boom, boom!
He was hit not just once but twice. Nudra had put Killa in critical condition, but he himself was horribly wounded, and Killa had already retreated. Only Nudra was fighting at the front.
Junhyuk quickly analyzed the battle. Jean Clo was facing Halo, and Halo was trying his best not to be grabbed by him. Halo was hitting and running to buy time, and he didn’t look to be in danger. Jean Clo had many open, bleeding cuts across his body, Halo could win at any minute, and Jean Clo would use his ultimate soon. When he did that, Sarang could easily take care of him.
The real problem was the situation in which Nudra found himself. Junhyuk couldn’t put a force field on Nudra and he couldn’t pull Nudra out because of distance between them.
Suddenly, Nudra shouted, "Get Killa!"
After he finished, he dashed after the fleeing Killa. Even without using his power, just by wearing his Dragon Gloves, his attacks looked different from before. Considering that Killa had lost most of her health, it could be the right thing for Nudra to sacrifice himself to catch her. Diane and Vera had already closed in and were attacking Doctor Tula and Bater.
They wanted to keep them occupied so they wouldn’t be able to chase after Nudra. From the enemies’ standpoint, Nudra was someone that had to be killed.
Both sides were playing a game of cat and mouse. Nudra was after Killa, and Bater and Doctor Tula were after Nudra. Diane and Vera were after Bater and Doctor Tula.
However, Killa wasn’t just going to die. She pulled out her dual pistols, and Junhyuk shouted at Sarang, "It’s her ultimate!"
Killa’s ultimate fired a shockwave and dealt enormous damage. If she gained some distance from Nudra, he would be dead. Someone had to stop her.
Sarang extended arms. Her healing power had astoundingly long range. Nudra was right in the middle of the enemy line when the green powder sprinkled down on his head. At the same time, Killa fired the shockwaves.
Boom!
Nudra was pushed back, but he had already been healed, so he didn’t die. Sarang’s healing power had healed Nudra’s health by 30 percent, but after the shockwaves hit him, he was still left with very low health. Killa’s ultimate dealt very high damage.
Diane was standing next to Junhyuk and whispered in his ear as she let go of her bowstring, "Killa is too far away. My continuous shots will get her. Let’s go."
Junhyuk grabbed her by shoulder and teleported. In a split second, they found themselves closer to the enemy line, and Diane loosed her arrows. Killa tried to block the shots with her pistols, but three arrows hit her, and she started disappearing.
"Nudra!"
Junhyuk shouted, and Nudra started running over to him. They had killed Killa, their target. The job was done. Then, Adolphe launched his boomerang at Nudra. It had the power to tie him up and paralyze him, and Nudra might not survive such an attack.
Junhyuk knew that and tried with all his might to get to Nudra. When he was close to Nudra, Nudra was tied up by the boomerang. However, it wasn’t a simple boomerang. He had thought that the boomerang only tied people up, but it also damaged them.
Junhyuk frowned and extended his hand. Nudra extended his hand as well, and that’s when Junhyuk saw that Bater had started dashing at them from behind Nudra and smiled.
He would be able to teleport away when Nudra and he shook hands. Diane was already running to join them and placed her foot on Junhyuk’s butt. Junhyuk frowned and teleported.
He had used two teleports, but he had saved Nudra and killed Killa. As he sighed, Doctor Tula fired a small missile his way. Junhyuk was not a hero, and he couldn’t survive it, even if it was small, so he cast a force field.
Boom!
The force field shook, but he had been just on time. He sighed again and looked back. With the force field up, Diane and Vera came into their own. Both of them focused on one person, the dangerous Doctor Tula. As they both started attacking him, Doctor Tula quickly retreated.
Still, it didn’t matter how much he ran, he couldn’t get away. Junhyuk’s running speed was faster than Doctor Tula’s retreat. The force field was up, so he did not hesitate and ran deep into enemy territory.
Both Vera and Diane still focused their attacks on the doctor, and Junhyuk looked for Adolphe.
Adolphe knew he was in danger and moved quickly. He knew about the force field, and that it lasted for ten seconds. He also knew that while it was up there wasn’t anything that he could do, so he headed toward Bater.
Doctor Tula was the target now, so Adolphe changed plans. Bater and Adolphe dashed toward Halo, who was still fighting Jean Clo and was now in danger. However, Halo had fought countless battles to stand there that day, so he used his lightning flash attack against Adolphe.
Bater could have blocked it, but it was different for Adolphe. He tried to do it with his mechanical sword, but he had already been slashed in his ribs. Bater threw a one-two combo at Halo, but he blocked it with his sword and ran inside of the force field As soon as he got in, he launched his sword in the air, readying his ultimate, and Junhyuk smiled.
Halo knew how to use the force field, but he might not complete his attack, so he stood behind Nudra to buy more time.
Doctor Tula had lost a lot of health because of the barrage of attacks, and Bater stood in front of him. He had a lot of health, so he wanted to shield him from magic and arrows.
Junhyuk moved to the side and saw Doctor Tula about to be attacked. However, this time, Jean Clo blocked the attacks with his body. Jean Clo was bleeding all over, but he still took the blows. He had a lot of health to begin with, so taking the hits was easy.
The allies wanted to kill Jean Clo as well. They had to make him lose a lot of health so that he would use his ultimate. However, they hadn’t killed Doctor Tula yet, and the force field disappeared.
Bater, Jean Clo and Adolphe were waiting for just that moment. The three of them rushed toward him, and Junhyuk stood in front of Sarang.
But Sarang thought of something else. She stepped up and used her power to paralyze both Bater and Jean Clo.
The heroes’ rushes were dangerous. The two were paralyzed, but Adolphe did not stop rushing. He tried to slash Diane but was kicked by Nudra and forced back. Adolphe was rolling on the ground when Nudra dropped on him.
Vera cast a firewall underneath Bater and Jean Clo, and the strong flames engulfed them both.
Diane threaded her arrows between Bater and Jean Clo and hit Doctor Tula. The five arrows hit him. Doctor Tula hadn’t tried to recover, and instead attempted to attack again. That’s when he ended up shot by Diane’s arrows, and now he started disappearing.
There were two heroes remaining. With Adolphe, there were three, but Nudra was beating the living crap out of him. He didn’t give Adolphe a chance to use his power. Wearing his Dragon Gloves, he was even a dangerous existence to heroes, and Adolphe died and disappeared once again.
Meanwhile, Jean Clo and Bater regained their ability to move, but they were still being attacked by Diane and Vera. Then, finally, Halo dropped in on Jean Clo with Rain from Above, leaving a gaping hole in his stomach.
Jean Clo laughed maniacally and dashed forward. His body was quickly healing itself, and the three blue energy rings appeared around him.
Sarang extended her hand.
"Repression."
