Chapter 76: Bouncing Back 3
Translator: - - Editor: - -
Junhyuk turned around, saw Vera standing in front of Sarang, and he sighed, relieved.
"Retreat," Artlan said.
Junhyuk tried to do as he was told while watching Minota grind his teeth.
"Fine! Today, I have to kill you!"
After he said that, Minota used his doppelganger skill and rushed at Junhyuk. Minota's dangerous paws had almost reached Junhyuk when he was attacked.
A black fire spear zoomed in and disrupted Minota's focus. He blocked it reflexively instead of attacking Junhyuk.
Boom!
It was only for a moment, but it gave Junhyuk enough time to move back, and a firewall appeared in front of him.
"Get over here!"
Vera called for him, and Junhyuk went to her. She launched another fire spear at Minota, who was going through the firewall.
Minota posed some danger because of his huge size, and after the fight began, he used his doppelganger skill.
Junhyuk stood next to Vera, and Minota mooed coarsely.
"Woo, woo, woo!"
He approached, but Junhyuk blocked Vera. She was her strongest when she used her magic at will, and he wanted her to be free to do it.
"Big brother!"
Sarang shouted and launched her electric blast at Minota. He was paralyzed, and Vera whistled and fired off her magic.
Minota was standing inside of the firewall, receiving damage, when the fire orb hit him and exploded. Then, Vera followed through with another fire spear.
Boom, boom!
Vera's magic was working out beautifully. Only a short time had passed, but continuous attacks were what Vera did best.
Minota's exorbitant health plummeted because of Vera's firepower, but Junhyuk didn't let his guard down. As expected, Minota rushed straight through the firewall, swinging his fist, and Junhyuk stepped forward to meet him. Vera's and Sarang's defenses were really low, so it was better for him to step in.
Clang!
He blocked Minota's fist with his swords, but he paid a price for doing so and was launched back. He rolled on the ground once and got up.
Minota was really strong, but he had stolen Minota's attention, even if for a short while, and Vera's magic and Sarang's lightning bolt flew by him. Junhyuk held his swords up and said:
"Are you holding on?"
Minota took large strides toward him and laughed.
"I will hold on until I kill you!"
Junhyuk dodged Minota's fist and swung his swords. He grazed Minota's elbow, and Minota started to bleed.
Until then, he had only been able to scratch Minota, but that last attack had made a deep cut. Minota's eyebrows twitched, and Junhyuk noticed it. The fixed damage was working, and Junhyuk was able to hurt him way more than before. At that stage, he could deal with Minota.
Minota exchanged blows with Junhyuk and realized that Junhyuk was inflicting damage on him. His power was incomparable to before.
He could've ignored Junhyuk's attacks before, but that wasn't the case now. It still wasn't a lot of damage, but he didn't have much health left.
"Woo, woo, woo!"
He mooed loudly and attempted a massive punch. Junhyuk parried the attack and countered with one of his own. Minota, who had been waiting for that, lowered his head and rushed.
Junhyuk's spatial relocation was still on cooldown, and he was in the middle of attacking, so he wasn't expecting Minota's move.
Then, the Dark Night Cloak fluttered, and Junhyuk spun away to the side.
The 10 percent chance for absolute evasion procced in the nick of time, which made Junhyuk happy, and Vera fired a fire spear and fire orbs at Minota.
Junhyuk swung his sword at Minota's ankle. Minota had used his rush, so the only option to close the gap between them was to run, but Vera had him locked down, preventing his movements.
Junhyuk slashed Minota's ankle, and because of the fixed damage, he was able to wound him much quicker.
Minota watch Junhyuk spin away from his rush and lifted his hoof. He stomped the ground and Junhyuk teleported.
Boom!
The stomps created shockwaves, but Junhyuk showed up in the air, behind Minota's head, swinging the Frozen Rune Sword.
Minota's neck was wounded, so Junhyuk stabbed at it with the Blood Rune Sword, but Minota didn't leave the back of his neck wide open, turning his head to dodge the attack. However, he didn't dodge it completely, leaving a stream of blood leaking from where the sword hit. Minota ignored the pain and tried to counter with a backhand, but Junhyuk teleported behind Minota once more, but this time, he was on the ground.
He was staring at Minota's butt because of the difference in their sizes and seized the opportunity. He put both of his swords together and shoved them in Minota's ass.
"AAARRRRRGH!"
He gave off a similar noise to when someone slashes a cow's throat, and Junhyuk pushed the swords even deeper.
"Just die!" He yelled.
Minota tried to grab him, but he couldn't mount any serious attacks. Junhyuk dodged everything and pushed the swords further in.
"AAAAAHHHH!" Minota screamed pitifully, and his body started to disappear.
Junhyuk sighed and pulled his swords out.
Minota was disappearing while fallen on the ground with his butt up high, and Junhyuk sat in front of him.
"I thought you said you were going to hold out?" He said and showed Minota the middle finger again.
"You don't know what this is? Go fuck yourself!"
Minota disappeared, and Junhyuk saw an item drop. It was an earring that looked like a shark's tooth.
Artlan walked over, laughing.
"Was this the main body?" Junhyuk asked.
Artlan shrugged and looked at the others.
"Anyone hurt?"
"No."
Vera walked up to Artlan.
"Did you see it?" She asked him.
"What?"
"How Minota died?"
Artlan shook his head.
"I didn't. I killed the other Minota and saw this one disappearing with his butt up high."
Vera put her index fingers together in the shape of a gun and stabbed the air.
"Junhyuk, did he really go like that?"
Artlan was surprised and looked at Junhyuk, who was picking up the item Minota had dropped.
---
King of Beasts White Tiger's Tooth
Deathblow +3%
The ruler of the jungle, the King of Beasts White Tiger, has the sharpest tooth. It can kill an opponent with one blow. The chance for a deathblow is increased by 3 percent.
---
Junhyuk picked up the item, inspected it and asked:
"Artlan, what is a deathblow?"
Artlan answered without thinking:
"A deathblow is a fatal attack against an opponent. In the past, a crazy hero had increased his deathblow rate to 100 percent. He swept through the battlefields. They made a set item in his honor, but it's difficult to get deathblow items."
"But why was he crazy?"
Vera laughed out loud.
"Deathblow items are expensive, but their percentages are always small, and they don't come with any other buff. Since it's a matter of chance, you need more than one. Therefore, a hero with a 100 percent deathblow rate is crazy."
"Then, that hero was extremely lucky."
"Yes, but no one has been that crazy since that hero."
Junhyuk looked at the King of Beasts White Tiger's Earring. Deathblows were a matter of chance, and he knew how important the percentage rates were because of his Dark Night Cloak.
The earring only had a 3 percent chance to proc. Junhyuk thought about it and put the earring on. It was the first time he pierced his ear, so it was painful, but it was nothing compared to what he had experienced so far.
He decided to have a positive outlook about the earring. It had a low percentage rate, so he wasn't expecting much, and he could always sell it.
He turned around and faced Vera. She told him not to deliver the final blow, but he had done it again.
"I am sorry for taking the final blow," he said, scratching his head.
Vera looked at his swords and swept her hands in the air, away from her body.
"You smell! Go away!"
"What?"
"You're so cruel!"
Vera started walking. Sarang followed her, and Junhyuk didn't know what to do. Artlan stood next to him.
"You did well."
"I did do well, right?"
"But then, did you have to kill him in such a nasty way?"
Junhyuk scratched his head.
"I saw a weak spot, so I took advantage of it."
Artlan shook his head.
"Let's move. We should join the others for the team battle," he said.
"We are going to a team battle now?"
"They are missing some heroes, so now is good time."
Minota had to reincarnate and rejoin the enemy group, and that would take time. Artlan wanted to get it over with in the meantime.
Junhyuk thought for a moment and asked:
"Isn't there another buff monster left?"
The enemy's buff monsters, the Salamander and the Gale Harpy Queen, were dead, but there could be one more.
Artlan heard that and stopped. A smile creeped into his face.
"I forgot about it!"
He had been thinking about the dragon, so he had forgotten about the other buff monster. He pulled out a marble and closed his eyes. Junhyuk was waiting for Artlan to deliver his message when Vera walked over.
"What is going on?"
"He is thinking about hunting the last buff monster."
"That's right! There is another buff monster!" Vera said, excited.
"We will meet where the buff monster is located. One of us will go to the castle and get the minions for the team battle. Sarang, wait."
Vera pulled out a marble of her own and closed her eyes to send out a message, and Junhyuk stared hard at Sarang.
"You didn't listen to me."
"We came this way and met up with Artlan and Vera. If we had gone the other way, we would both be dead."
Junhyuk laughed and petted her head. Sarang was really fearless.
"Next time, listen to me. I'm worried about you. My heart is pounding."
"He-he! Bro, you're worried about me?"
Junhyuk sighed and flicked her head lightly.
"Hey!" Sarang complained about the pain and stomped the ground.
Artlan opened his eyes and smiled at the scene.
"Let's go. Before the next team battle, we will kill the last buff monster."
"OK."
The group moved out, and Junhyuk took Sarang by the hand and followed the leader.
