Chapter 68: Counter Jungle 3

Translator: - - Editor: - -

Diane was fighting Libya. Libya had ice powers, and her attack power was absurd. If Libya attacked continuously, Diane would die without putting up much resistance.

However, Diane also had an astounding attack power, and if she attacked continuously, Libya could die as well, so both of them were being cautious.

They exchanged some blows, but they knew each other very well, so neither of them was really hurt. Their minions were fighting in the middle of the battlefield, and both stood behind the minions, seldomly attacking. However, Libya’s minions outnumbered the allied minions, who were almost all dead.

Diane had to keep tabs on Libya, so she couldn’t help the minions out, and they, in turn, were being pushed back toward the watchtower.

Libya was pressuring Diane when she saw a group show up and frowned.

"Damn!"

She could see Artlan and Vera coming around the watchtower behind Diane. One additional hero was hard enough to deal with, and now there were two more.

Libya ran away after seeing them. She had kept an eye on Diane, and when Diane started attacking minions, she took her chance.

She looked at her watchtower, but didn’t move toward it. Even with a watchtower backing her up, she couldn’t fight three heroes by herself.

Libya moved toward the allied forest. Diane stayed by her watchtower, and Libya followed the road to the left of that watchtower and stomped the ground. Suddenly, the road froze over.

The icy road decreased the movement speed of the people who went through it. She wanted to slow down the allied heroes while running away.

She looked back and saw that five people were following her: Artlan, Vera, Diane, the expert Junhyuk, and the novice Sarang.

"I will retreat for now, but we will meet again soon."

---

Lybia ran away and turned the road to ice, and Junhyuk said:

"Let’s hold hands."

This was a good enough time to try out the limit of his powers. The heroes joined hands. So far, Junhyuk could only teleport with people he could touch.

... and Junhyuk teleported while they held hands.

It was the first time he was trying that, and it was a success. They teleported beyond the icy road, and Libya tried to buy more time, but it was in vain.

Junhyuk teleported again, and Libya gritted her teeth.

The force field gave her so much trouble, and now she couldn’t escape because of his spatial relocation. She looked back, frowned and started flying.

Libya flew over the trees and went inside the forest. There was no road where she was headed, and she was trying to lose the group chasing her.

Artlan saw the trees, looked at Vera and said:

"We will divide into two groups and hunt her down. I will go this way with Vera. Diane, you take Junhyuk and Sarang and go that way."

Diane was dissatisfied.

"I am not a babysitter!"

"Babysitter? They will help you."

She looked at Junhyuk and Sarang and stashed her bow on her shoulder.

"Follow me. Carefully."

Diane belonged to the elf race, and her speed inside a forest was impressive. It was not easy to follow her.

Junhyuk nodded. action

"Don’t worry."

Diane turned to Artlan and Vera.

"Do you want to bet on who catches her first?"

"That’s an irrational concept," Artlan said and ran.

"Follow me. We will catch her," Diane told Junhyuk and Sarang.

"OK."

Both of them followed her and ran quickly in the forest. Diane was running on tree branches and was faster than them.

Junhyuk had to run with all of his might to keep up with her. After running for a while, Diane signaled with her hand for them to halt.

They stopped, and Diane pulled out her bow and said:

"She is coming this way."

Junhyuk looked at Sarang and stepped forward to protect her.

He ran toward the road, summoned his swords and shouted:

"Stop!"

Libya saw him and stopped running. She looked around and saw Sarang standing behind him, and there was a glimmer in her eyes.

Surely, there had to be a hero around somewhere, but the heroes had to split up, so there couldn’t be more than two hiding.

She wanted to kill the two in front of her and then escape.

Both of them had been a hindrance to her, and that was a good opportunity to get rid of them.

Libya made an ice spear.

"Where is your nanny? Children shouldn’t be alone!"

She launched the spear, and Junhyuk created a force field around Sarang and went inside it as well.

Bang!

The ice spear broke apart by hitting the force field, and Junhyuk ran forward. He didn’t have a lot of time before Libya would run away again.

He wanted to block her escape, and her eyes shone. She wanted to kill him even if she got killed in the process. She wanted to kill him twice, and then he would never be back again.

Libya made ice flowers and launched them at Junhyuk.

He was within her range. Then, Junhyuk teleported behind her and started swinging his swords continuously.

Slash, slash, slash, slash!

He ignored her defense and attacked. The Blood Rune Sword had an attack of thirty-five, and the Frozen Rune Sword had an attack of fifteen. He was also carrying two Golden Knight Elder’s bracelets which added twenty to each attack. The Blood Rune Sword was hitting for fifty-five, and the Frozen Rune Sword was hitting for thirty-five. He ignored her defense completely.

"Aaargh!" She screamed and ran forward.

She hadn’t been expecting that kind of attack from an expert. She had four snowflake-like wings, and one of them was cut apart.

She turned around and threw another ice pear, but Junhyuk used spatial relocation to escape.

He joined Sarang and saw Libya take to the air. She was so angry that she changed her trajectory and slammed down on them.

Bang!

The force field was still there, and both of them had survived, but the force field was half buried underground. Libya stood on it and made an ice flower.

"You dared to cut my wing?"

When the ice flower exploded, it would generate an ice storm. He had already used two teleports, and she was standing on the force field.

Libya wanted to kill them both at once, but when she turned to escape, an arrow flew at her. She felt Diane’s attack coming and tried to dodge it.

The arrow didn’t hit her on the head, but it went through her collarbone. She was heavily wounded and wanted to flee.

However, as Libya turned around, five more arrows flew toward her.

She threw her ice flower toward the arrows, and the ice storm traveled forward from the impact, but Diane was out of range. Her shooting range was longer than Libya’s magic range.

Diane stood outside of Lybia’s range and loosened another arrow. The tip of that arrow was covered by fire.

"Sarang!" Junhyuk shouted.

Sarang used her power. An electric blast traveled from her and hit Libya. Libya was paralyzed, and Junhyuk walked out of the force field.

He targeted her wings again. He was buffed, so he attacked with his swords and got extra attacks.

Slash, slash, slash!

He cut two more of her wings, and Diane’s exploding arrow landed on her.

Boom!

Junhyuk attacked again right after the explosion. He crisscrossed his blades on the place where Diane’s arrow hit Lybia’s neck and beheaded her.

He had been able to do that because of Diane’s attacks.

Libya’s head flew off, and Junhyuk needed a moment to gather his breath. He hadn’t been able to breathe while he was attacking her. With just one breath, he had cut her wings and sliced her neck. He felt like his heart was about to explode.

"Whew."

He exhaled and heard a soft whisper:

[You’ve killed the hero Libya. You have the right to pick up the item she dropped. Will you pick it up? If you don’t, the item will disappear in three hours.]

Junhyuk hesitated. Diane’s attack had been decisive in killing Libya, but he did kill her at the end.

He had been looking away when he killed Ellic, and now he had delivered the final blow again. The first time had been a mistake.

Then, Diane walked over and grabbed his shoulder.

"I’m sorry!"

"What for?"

"I didn’t mean to deliver the final blow!"

Diane laughed.

"How were you able to attack her? What happened?"

Junhyuk showed her his arms, and she saw the Golden Knight Elder’s bracelets.

"Golden Knight Elder set items?"

"Right."

"I thought Ellic had those?"

"He died and dropped them."

Diane shook her head.

"You killed Ellic?"

"I was buffed with the Salamander buff."

"Really?"

Junhyuk had helped them out with his powers before, but this time he had killed a hero. It used to be five versus five, but now it was more like five versus five and a half.

Diane gave him a big hug. She was not sexy like Vera, but she gave off a fresh scent. His face got red, and Diane played with his hair, messing it up.

"Man. Pick it up before the item disappears."

"OK."

Junhyuk picked up the item Lybia dropped. It was only a handheld mirror.

---

Ice Crystal Mirror

Ice Magic Attack +25

The Ice Kingdom Erusha’s treasure, the Ice Crystal Mirror. It increases ice-attribute magic attacks and ice magic attacks.

It looks beautiful.

---

Junhyuk felt like he had heard about that kingdom before and murmured:

"It’s for ice magic!"

"Yeah? I won’t need it."

"Is that so?"

Diane placed her hand on his shoulder.

"If you did not draw her attention, I wouldn’t have been able to attack her. This belongs to you."

"Thank you."

In fact, Junhyuk hadn’t done more damage than Diane, but she was giving it to him, and he felt grateful.

Diane tapped him on the shoulder.

"You should sell it and get new armor."

"OK."

Armor pieces cost 20,000G, and now he would be able to afford one.
