Legend of Legends

When using his swords, he could a lot of damage, but the shockwave dispersed only horizontally with the slash. However, when using his fist, things were different, the shockwave dispersed in an orb-like manner. Still, the damage was much lower than when using a sword.

Junhyuk punched toward the bone golem. The fist hit it, generating a massive shockwave.

Boom!

The bulk of the damage had to come from the weapon. In general, damage from equipment buffs was not strong enough. However, fixed damage from equipment buffs went through directly.

It didn’t matter where the golem’s core was. The shockwave swept through a radius of ten meters, covering the entire golem. Junhyuk kept dodging its attacks and punching it.

Boom, boom!

The bone golem’s healing rate decreased, and Gongon walked over. He inspected the golem carefully, and his eyes sparkled.

"Found it!" the dragon shouted, and headbutted the area. He flew like a cannonball, hitting the golem’s ribs to find the core between the broken bones.

Boom!

The core’s shell was destroyed, and the bones that made up the golem fell to the ground. Junhyuk looked at it as he walked over. Gongon, who had been covered by the massive pile of bones, burst out complaining, "When I return, I will kill many undead to release my anger."

Junhyuk laughed and looks for the core among the bones, and he quickly found an object the size of a fist shining.

[You’ve gained the Golem’s Core. Be careful! You always drop quest items if you die.]

Gongon had heard the same thing and looked at Junhyuk.

"When we die, we drop it?"

"Correct."

"We killed the golem, but the quest’s reward can be claimed by our enemies?"

Junhyuk nodded, and Gongon continued to complain, "Can’t let that happen. I put some effort into getting this item."

Then, the dragon extended his short arms toward Junhyuk and said when Junhyuk stared at him, "Carry me."

"What?!"

"You carry me so we can return quickly. We can’t be late."

Junhyuk laughed and picked up the hatchling. He held Gongon to his side and followed the road. Meanwhile, he sent a message to Aktur.

"Aktur."

"What is the matter?"

"Where is Drakey?"

"He’s reviving. I’m destroying the enemy’s tower."

Junhyuk thought that things were happening like before.

"Can you come to the Swamp of Despair. Our enemies might gather up there."

"Already moving."

"Meet up soon."

Junhyuk ran diligently with Gongon in his arm. On the way, Junhyuk kept an eye to his surroundings. He was worried that he might meet with an enemy.

He ran for a while and got to the Swamp of Despair, but there were others already there. The enemies were on the island. Aktur showed up on the other side, and Junhyuk sent him another message.

"What are you thinking?"

"We have to go in at the same time."

Junhyuk looked at the enemies and sighed. The island was on a swamp, and they would concentrate in one direction.

"It might be dangerous for you, Aktur."

"I will go in first and, when they focus on me, I’ll retreat. It will be nice if I can fight them on the stepping stones."

Junhyuk nodded and shouted, "Let’s go!"

He started running with Gongon, but despite his expectations, all three enemies went after him. They knew how strong Junhyuk and Gongon were together.

Junhyuk clicked his tongue. That was not a good turn of events, but the allies were stronger than in the previous battlefield. Even so, they didn’t know how Gongon would perform on a three-versus-three fight.

As he ran, Drakey stepped forward. Drakey was a difficult opponent, and Junhyuk turned to Gongon and said, "Hold on tight."

Gongon used his hands and tightened his grip around Junhyuk’s arms, and Junhyuk used the jump skill. By jumping, he went over the enemies to stand behind them. He landed and stared at them, and they clicked their tongues and turned around. They had wanted to take advantage of the numerical advantage, but they had failed, so they gathered up.

Junhyuk kept searching for an opportunity, and the Spatial Slash cut Gyulsean’s neck. She quickly lost a lot of health, and Junhyuk closed in by teleporting and launched Gongon.

"Gon! Go!"

The dragon flew through the air ready to headbutt the centaur, but their enemies had been watching the events unfold, and Lugos stepped forward and blocked Gongon’s path.

The Spatial Slash had generated a shockwave that had hurt Lugos, but he still had a lot of health. After being blocked by the cyclops, Gongon stood up, inhaled deeply and released his firebreath.

The flames covered the enemies, and Aktur joined in, heading toward them.

"Why are you in a hurry?" Junhyuk asked.

"Seize the opportunity!"

Junhyuk ran as well, and Gongon rolled forward and slammed his tail against Gyulsean, who was low on strength. She disappeared. In this battlefield, she hadn’t been able to fight at all and just kept dying instead.

[Gongon killed Gyulsean.]

Aktur realized the situation was changing fast and asked, ’Who shoud I grab?"

"Lugos!"

Drakey had absolute dodge, so he would be hard to pin down. Aktur knew that and grabbed Lugos by the neck and pulled him toward the allies. While that was happening, Aktur also summoned the skeletons.

Junhyuk knew he and Aktur could kill Lugos.

"Gongon! Block Drakey!

"Right!"

Gongon transformed and engaged Drakey. Another benefit of his transformation was that it lasted for twenty second, and when that ended, he could use his other powers. Its defense worked as well as Junhyuk’s force field, but the force field’s cooldown lasted ninety seconds. Also, Gongon could continue to fight while transformed.

Gongon engaged Drakey, while Junhyuk and Aktur took care of Lugos. After Aktur summoned the skeletons, Lugos’ body turned dark, and he tried to rejoin Drakey. However, Junhyuk prevented his escape by slashing his thigh. It was easier to damage Lugos with the three skeleton soldiers as backup. Junhyuk slashed him three times, and Lugos gritted his teeth.

His defense was buffed, and he still had half of his health, so, even though his movement speed was debuffed, he still tried to runs away. Aktur laughed at the sight.

"He is cute," he said, and black hands rose from the ground. Lugos was so slow at that point, that he stopped moving.

Lugos realized that he couldn’t run away, so he turned around and swung his weapons. However, his body started to go back to its normal color, but he stomped the ground at that time.

Boom!

The skeleton soldiers, Junhyuk and Aktur were sent into the air, and Lugos’ arms enlarged as he struck at them. His attacks sent Junhyuk and Aktur flying back. He only had 30 percent of his health, but the allies were thrown into the swamp.

[You’ve fallen into the swamp. Chance of escape decreases by 70 percent. Your movement speed decreases by 95 percent. If you don’t get out within ten seconds, you will die.]

Junhyuk didn’t hesitate and teleported out. He quickly closed in on Lugos and swung his sword, but the cyclops blocked the attack.

Clang!

Junhyuk joined the skeleton soldiers still attacking Lugos and while that was happening, Aktur tried to get out of the swamp. However, he had lost 95 percent of his movement speed, so he was having difficulty getting out.

Junhyuk cornered Lugos and shouted, "Use the skeleton soldiers to get out!"

The skeletons went to help Aktur while Junhyuk continued to pressure Lugos. The cyclops had already lost his movement speed, and, despite having four arms, he was getting damaged by Junhyuk’s attacks.

The Frozen Rune Sword sweeped in, and Lugos blocked it with the ax. Then, he pushed it away with the hammer. Lugos stabbed with the short spear, grazing Junhyuk’s ribs. He was very skilled with his weapons, and Junhyuk was injured, but Junhyuk countered to regain his health.

The Blood Rune Sword dealt damage to the enemy while healing Junhyuk, and Lugos’ health was nearly depleted.

Meanwhile, Junhyuk felt the Spatial Slash returning and shouted, "Aktur! You kill him!"

Lugos had little health left, so Junhyuk ignored him and ran toward Gongon. The allies had the advantage, so Junhyuk left Lugos for Aktur.

"Gongon, I’ll take care of him."

Gongon had 60 percent of his health left while Drakey had 50 percent. When Gongon heard Junhyuk, he was no longer transformed. Before disengaging, Gongon smiled and attempted to headbutt Drakey, but Drakey used the absolute dodge.

Drakey knew how much damage that headbutt would’ve dealt, so he used the absolute dodge to keep himself safe and prepared to counterattack. Meanwhile, Junhyuk picked up Gongon and released the force field.

Clang!

Drakey saw the force field and frowned. The absolute dodge only lasted for three seconds, but the force field lasted for ten, so he ran toward the stepping stones.

Junhyuk ran after him, still holding Gongon, and Gongon smiled and said, "It’s time."

Absolute dodge ended, and Gongon breathed fire. The flames covered Drakey’s back, and Drakey felt himself losing some health and sped up. He had 35 percent of his health left, and Junhyuk used the Spatial Slash.

However, his two heads moved, one to each sie, and the Spatial Slash went through the empty air between them.

"What?"

It was very difficult to read the timing of that attack, so until that point, the Spatial Slash had never failed. How did Drakey dodge it?

Drakey smiled and turned around.

"He-he-he! Lucky!"

"Maybe?"

"That’s right. My item gives me absolute dodge."

Junhyuk clicked his tongue. He also had an item with absolute dodge, but it only gave him a 10 percent chance, and that rarely happened, but Drakey’s had worked at the right moment.

He looked at Junhyuk and said, "Don’t be so surprised. I’ve increased my absolute dodge rate."

Junhyuk could upgrade his equipment, and so could his enemies. Drakey’s absolute dodge rate was now much higher.

"Even without the Spatial Slash, I will still kill you." Junhyuk said, dashing forward, and Drakey smiled.

"The force field is done."

Drakey extended his hand, and a whirlwind appeared atop the stepping stone, wrapping around Junhyuk and Gongon. Junhyuk knew he was about to fall, so he launched Gongon away.

While flying through the air, Gongon extended his hand.

"Junhyuk!"

Junhyuk laughed and said, "It’s fine. I’ll kill Drakey, so hold on to him for me."

He fell into the swamp.

[You’ve fallen into the swamp. Chance of escape decreases by 70 percent. Your movement speed decreases by 95 percent. If you don’t get out within ten seconds, you will die.]
