Chapter 384 - Victory 2 (1/2)

Junhyuk had picked up to more items. He turned to Layla and asked, “What do we do now?”

“What?”

“Should we push on?”

Layla took a moment to think and replied, “It’ll be difficult with just the two of us.”

If Gongon weren’t present, the two would’ve been enough.

Layla added calmly, “We should join Ebodia, who went to the right.”

“We may not have enough time for that.”

“We should tell her to join us, then. We’ll hunt a nearby buff monster before joining her.”

“Then, you should contact her,” he said and turned to the minions. Two hundred and fifty minions had survived. Junhyuk and Layla had joined in the killing of the gorillas, and they had had a lot of minions to begin with.

Junhyuk wasn’t in a hurry. It would take some time for Ebodia to join them. They headed out to join her, and on the way, they met the Queen Harpy. The Queen Harpy was flying, and Junhyuk looked at it and said, “It’s flying. I should engage it.”

The Queen Harpy was an A-ranked monster. One shouldn’t be able to deal with it alone, but he had a strong opening strike. He raised his sword, and Layla said, “It’s not very high up. I can attack it as well.”

Junhyuk stepped forward and said, “This time, just watch.”

His attack stat was much higher now. As Junhyuk stepped forward, the Queen Harpy flew toward him. However, his attack was faster than the monster’s.

His Spatial Slash sliced through the Queen Harpy’s neck.

“Kyaak!” the Queen Harpy screamed, trying to attack him. Junhyuk teleported and grabbed the monster from behind. He swung his sword and slashed the Queen Harpy’s wing, severing it. The Queen Harpy started plummeting. He was riding it down, and when the Queen Harpy crashed against the ground, he stabbed through its neck.

Everything happened very quickly and smoothly, leaving Layla astonished.

“Amazing.”

[You’ve killed the Gale Queen Harpy. For the next five hours, you’ll have a 30 percent chance of triggering an extra attack. If an enemy kills you within that period, you’ll lose the buff to your enemy.]

Junhyuk had killed the A-ranked monster by himself, and it had been simple. It had looked simple, but his flurry of attacks dealt an absurd amount of damage. He could kill most heroes that way.

Now that Layla had seen him in action, she was astounded.

“Your powers are outstanding. I want to see what you can do in your dimension.”

“If that’s possible, sure.” Junhyuk raised his head and pointed at the harpies in the sky. “Shall we?”

Layla nodded and threw her katana. It pierced one of the harpies, and the others flocked together and swooped down at them.

“Raise your shields!” Junhyuk shouted.

The minions did so and covered their heads. Junhyuk and Layla used the shields as footholds and slashed the harpies while standing on them. The harpies swooped at them first, and Junhyuk and Layla massacred them.

He turned to the minions. They had not been hurt by the harpies, and that was a relief. Looking at the fallen harpies, he saw that the Queen Harpy had dropped an item, its talon.

—

Gale Queen Harpy’s Talon

This item has a very low drop rate. You can combine it with other items to boost them. When synthesized, your extra attack rate will increase by 10 percent.

Previously, Junhyuk had gotten 50,000G for it, so he smiled. He could sell it, but the item itself was very special. Drops like it from Queen Harpies didn’t happen very often either. He wanted to give it to Elise so that she could use it in her magitek research. He wanted to gift her something nice, and it would really help her.

Junhyuk gathered the minions and started moving. They were heading to the castle’s main gate. On the way, stood the black-haired Ebodia. Still looking dreary, she walked toward them when she saw them. She had a hundred minions with her, so they had a significant minion army. If they failed now, they wouldn’t have enough minions to go all out next time.

“Let’s go.”

The enemies had probably changed their plains again, so the allies were pushing forward. Junhyuk moved with the group. They were headed to the main gate.

The enemies knew what was happening, and all five heroes were standing before the gate. He looked at the enemy minions. There were three hundred gorillas with them.

The allied minions numbered 350. However, the difference wasn’t that big, and unless the gate went down, the archers would be waiting for them. On top of that, they would have to get rid of the enemy minions first.

The allies also had to kill the heroes. Otherwise, the allied minions would be in grave danger of being annihilated.

Looking at the enemy forces, Junhyuk smacked his lips.

“Complicated.”

The enemies now knew about his powers, so they were keeping a regular distance from him. All of them were at least ten meters away from him.

From his perspective, creating a shockwave would be the best solution, but the enemies were also keeping a gap between each other. It looked like Gongon had given them instructions, and Junhyuk smiled bitterly at that.

He contacted Zareto and Railic then, “Zareto, all of the enemies are at the main gate. Go ahead and push for the second tower.”

“Will do.”

“Railic, occupy central buff tower.”

If Railic tried to join them, he would be too late for the battle. In that case, it was better for him to take the buff tower.

Junhyuk turned to Layla and asked, “What should we do now?”

Even though the allies had superior powers, they wouldn’t be able to deal with the archers and all of the enemies together.

After thinking for a moment, Layla said, “If we use all of our powers, we’ll at least take one out each. If that happens, things will get easier.”
