Chapter 457: Continuous Danger 1

Junhyuk’s Spatial Slash penetrated the dragon’s neck Now, the dragon had a gaping wound on his neck and on his chest. Seeing that, Ronga’s eyes beamed.

“Junhyuk!” the enemy hero shouted, fully aware of Junhyuk’s Spatial Slash.

Junhyuk’s task had been to finish the dragon, but the dragon had not died. Gritting his teeth, Junhyuk dashed toward the beast.

Ronga chased after him. The enemy hero had rushed through a firebreath, but he hadn’t lost much health. Junhyuk thought that was strange, but he didn’t have the time to learn more about it.

Yagi was already shooting at the dragon.

The dragon snapped its tail, swinging it toward Ronga, but the hero simply jumped over it. Garu was now far away from the dragon since he only had 30 percent of his health left. Junhyuk thought he must’ve acted as bait for the firebreath.

Looking at the tail that was now swinging toward him, Junhyuk decided he had to kill the dragon immediately.

He used his jumping skill, and thirty meters into the air, he stabbed at the dragon with Aksha’s Longsword, but the sword stretched and wrapped itself around the dragon’s neck. With the dragon tied up, he stabbed through its neck with the Blood Rune Sword.

Junhyuk had been lucky. His piercing stat had been enough to pierce through the dragon’s scales. Then, he pulled Aksha’s Longsword back, and as he did, it sliced right through the dragon’s neck. A lot of blood poured out, but the dragon wouldn’t die.

Junhyuk scowled then. Now, he had to deal with both Ronga and the dragon.

Ronga jumped on the dragon’s tail and ran right up the dragon’s back. Junhyuk was in a precarious position. Suddenly, an explosion of green energy blasted through the dragon’s body. Yagi had stacked the ailments and caused the explosion, which was wide enough to slam Junhyuk. The explosion ignored defense, and Junhyuk bit his lip as he lost 22 percent of his health.

Ronga was running toward him, but regardless of that, he had to kill the dragon.

Junhyuk ran toward the dragon’s head. His speed buff was still active, so he was faster than Ronga.

The dragon felt him climbing it and shook its head. By that point, Ronga was really close to reaching him. The dragon wasn’t moving its torso, so Ronga could run safely along its back to get to Junhyuk.

Junhyuk lengthened Aksha’s Longsword and stuck it through the dragon’s neck. The dragon shook its neck, and Junhyuk felt everything move.

He looked at the spot the Spatial Slash had pierced thorough. The spot was still bleeding, so he accelerated and pulled out Aksha’s Longsword. He was freefalling now, and the dragon’s eyes beamed. It opened its mouth, chasing after him.

Ronga jumped from the dragon’s back, also chasing after Junhyuk.

Arrows stuck to his back, and Junhyuk extended his hand and shouted, “DIE!”

Junhyuk’s power activated right where the dragon had been struck by the Spatial Slash.

Crack!

The Spatial Collapse opened a gaping hole through the dragon, and the hole was sucking everything toward it.

Ronga was within range, so since he was also freefalling, he couldn’t withstand the suction of the Spatial Collapse. He seemed scared by that, and Junhyuk smiled.

Then, he heard a friendly voice.

[You’ve killed the dragon Kaloyan. For the next two hours, you get a 30 percent increase to health regeneration rate, a 30 percent increase to movement speed, a 30 percent increase to attack speed, a 30 percent increase to defense, and when you attack, you will inflict an additional one hundred damage on top of your normal damage. If you die within two hours, you will lose yours buff.]

Junhyuk had gained the dragon’s buff, so he knew it was time for him to escape. He extended Aksha’s Longsword toward the ground, and once it stuck through the ground, he shortened it, using it to pull himself down.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over his head.

Boom!

Junhyuk turned to look and saw the debris scattered everywhere as he got launched up. He clicked his tongue because he needed to save his teleportation for the cliffside.

In the air now, he was being struck by Yagi’s arrows as she ran toward him.

Things didn’t look good. The Spatial Collapse had ended, so Ronga also chased after him.

Junhyuk wanted to play close attention to Ronga. The enemy hero should have his powers back by now, so he was extremely dangerous.

Biting his lip, Junhyuk raised his force field around himself.

For the next ten seconds, now that he had the buff, he could run away. He had the dragon’s buff, but he also had the tower’s buff. For that reason, his speed was unbelievable.

Laughing at him, Ronga asked, “Where are you going?”

Junhyuk was running toward the cliffside and not to an open space, and the cliff was a hundred meters tall. Ronga was confident that even if he tried teleporting up it, it wouldn’t work.

Junhyuk looked at his enemies, who were walking slowly toward him, and gave them a biter smile. It was possible that he would die.

When he reached the cliff, he looked back again and saw that there was some distance between him and his enemies now, so he flipped Ronga off.

The enemy hero didn’t understand the gesture, but he could guess what it was, so he bared his teeth to Junhyuk.

“Roooaar!”

Ronga ran to him roaring, and Junhyuk teleported again. He only went up thirty meters, stabbing the cliffside with the Blood Rune Sword when he appeared. He teleported another thirty meters up and looked down. His enemies were below him.

“Next time you see me, you should be afraid!”

Junhyuk meant to go up against them again before the buffs wore off. After that, he stretched Aksha’s Longsword and stuck it to the side of the cliff above him.

He shortened it, and the sword pulled him up. Junhyuk was smiling at his ingenuity when the sword got unstuck from the cliff. He immediately stabbed the cliffside with the Blood Rune Sword and sighed.

He had climbed another ten meters, so making his way up like that was possible for him.

After he sighed, he looked down. On Earth, he would’ve used a different method to escape. There, he could’ve accelerated and run up the cliff. action

Ronga wasn’t giving up. The enemy hero did the same thing Junhyuk did and stuck his sword into the cliff. That was something Junhyuk hadn’t expected, and it stunned him. On top of that, Ronga was climbing faster than him.

Junhyuk had already used all of his powers, so he smacked his lips and while he stabbed the cliff with the Blood Rune Sword, he attacked Ronga with Aksha’s Longsword.

He triggered his acceleration and attacked at the same time Ronga pulled his sword from the cliffside. Ronga still had enough presence of mind to block...

Clang!

... But that was all the enemy hero could do at that moment. Ronga fell to the ground, and Junhyuk smirked. He was the superior hero on the cliffside, all because of Aksha’s Longsword.

When Junhyuk got to the top, he looked down and shouted, “Come and chase me!”

Ronga bared his teeth at him and shouted in reply, “We’ll take the road!”

Ronga, Yagi and Garu took the road out of the Dragon’s Valley.

His enemies would take a while getting to him, and that made him feel at ease. Because it was possible that they would ambush him and because Junhyuk couldn’t sense things inside the reed fields, he decided to take the longer road to be safe.

Taking the right path, he contact Layla.

“Layla, how is it going?”

“We are done on this side. I’m thinking of advancing.”

“Hm... I stole the dragon kill, but the heroes are alive. They might chase after me or head your way, in which case, they’ll get to you before I can.”

Junhyuk wanted to have the allies gather up. With the dragon’s buff, he didn’t think the allies would lose if they fought as a team.

“Should we come to you?”

After some thought, he said, “No. Keep advancing. I’ll join you.”

On top of having the greater speed buff, Junhyuk could also teleport. He ended the conversation and took off running and teleporting when he could.

He didn’t take one of the trails, going through the trees to make sure he wouldn’t come up against Ronga. Then, he connected with Sarang.

“Where are you?”

“We are almost at the left path.”

“Did you upgrade your weapon?”

“Of course!” she said, smiling, and made the victory sign with her hand. She waved the orb in front of him and said, “The sixth upgrade was a success!”

“I told you to only do the basic ones.”

“Elise did it too!”

Junhyuk didn’t care about Elise. The scientist would keep her weapon for a long time, but he wanted Sarang to sell her weapon as soon as she had something else prepared. The upgrades weren’t necessary.

Still, Junhyuk agreed with her regardless since the upgrade had been a success.

“OK. Go join Gongon. It would take a while to reach the left from here, so it should be safe. Destroy that tower.”

“Will do!”

Junhyuk disconnected and teleported again and again on his way to Layla. He hoped that she wouldn’t have to fight Ronga herself, so he moved quickly.
