Chapter 62: Changes 2

Translator: - - Editor: - -

Junhyuk frowned after seeing the werewolf. It looked stronger than a hero, but the werewolf was not alone. Next to him, there were five cow-sized wolves.

"Minions, take the wolves!" Artlan shouted.

The minions were nervous and did not move. They saw the werewolf the size of a building and couldn't move.

"Collect yourselves!" Artlan shouted at the minions in shock.

The wolves jumped at the minions. They were aiming for Artlan, but he dodged to the side. The wolves looked at Artlan once and ran toward the minions.

The minions still did not move, thinking about what to do instead. Ahead of them, a sword flew by and dropped a wolf in one hit.

Clang!

"Shield yourselves!"

Junhyuk shouted and threw another sword. He was very strong now, and another wolf was hit and fell.

To Artlan, the minions were like accessories, but Junhyuk felt differently. The minions were frozen, but he couldn't let even one minion die.

Junhyuk chased the wolves that were chasing the minions. He ran instead of using his powers.

The minions lifted their shields. They heard Junhyuk and saw the wolves rushing toward them, but they couldn't attack, so they raised their shields instead.

The wolves attacked them.

Clang!

There were dozens of minions, but an individual minion couldn't fight the wolves alone. The wolves were stepping on three minions, and the other minions were just looking at them when Junhyuk arrived.

He cut one of the wolf's neck and shouted:

"Work together, then you will survive! Calm yourselves! Work in teams and don't die!"

He jumped away. Artlan, Vera and Sarang were engaged in a fight against the werewolf, so he had to join them.

The minions wouldn't die. There were dozens of them, and they could kill a few wolves. There had only been five wolves, and he had dealt with three of them by himself.

Junhyuk went away, and the minions started helping the three minions on the ground.

Junhyuk wanted to concentrate. He watched the minions helping each other out and refocused his attention. His target was now the werewolf.

The werewolf was trying to grab Artlan with its claws. The claws were seven feet long, and they were not easy to dodge. Artlan drew its attention while Vera and Sarang shot at it with magic.

Vera was shooting her fire, and Sarang was shooting lightning. Their attacks were damaging the werewolf, but they were not decisive.

Artlan was drawing it in, but he couldn't fight it alone. Vera's and Sarang's attacks distracted the werewolf. Otherwise, Artlan could have already been killed.

Junhyuk extended his hand toward Artlan. Soon, an ivory-colored light surrounded Artlan, and afterwards, Artlan really attacked the werewolf, much stronger than before.

He couldn't be hurt, so he was not scared. The werewolf could push the force field back, but Artlan was adroit* and not easily attacked.

Artlan fought him in honest, and Vera prepared her magic. She was working on her specialty, her meteors, and Junhyuk saw an opportunity.

The werewolf was twenty feet tall, and it moved like a hero. If Junhyuk attacked it, he wouldn't be able to escape its reach.

He wanted to support Artlan, but the werewolf ignored Artlan. It realized it couldn't wound Artlan and looked at Sarang, who was shooting her lightning bolt at it.

She was far from him, but the werewolf could reach her by just taking a step forward, since it was so tall. It took a step toward her, and Artlan slashed its back, but it ignores him.

The werewolf walked closer to Sarang, and she couldn't move. That's when Junhyuk teleported next to her.

It swung its claws and was about to hit her when Junhyuk grabbed her wrist and teleported again.

Boom!

The werewolf's claws hit the spot where they had been standing. They escaped in the nick of time.

"Sarang! Use your power!" Vera shouted.

Sarang used her energy blast against the werewolf. The energy blast had a lighting attribute, and it traveled like a bolt and hit the werewolf.

The werewolf fell when the meteors crashed out of the sky.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

That was Vera's best weapon. The meteors hit the werewolf hard, and it was seriously wounded, but it did not die.

The werewolf was frozen, and Artlan stabbed it deeply in the waist. The werewolf moved again and howled loudly.

"HOOOWWL!"

The forest shook with the howl, and Artlan pulled out his saber and, in a flash, he sliced through the werewolf's neck.

The twenty-foot werewolf was beheaded. As it died, they all heard a whisper in their ears:

[The War Wolf Lord has been killed. For the next two hours, your healing power will be increased by 10 percent, and your opponent's movement speed will decrease by 10 percent with every hit you land. The enemy's movement-speed decrease can be repeated three times for up to 30 percent. If you die within those two hours, your opponent will take over these buffs.]

Junhyuk was speechless.

"He must've been a buff monster."

A purple circle appeared underneath him. The circle moved as Junhyuk walked, following him around and giving off a strange energy.

Junhyuk looked around, and everyone who had attacked the werewolf now had a magic circle underneath them.

Artlan looked at his circle and laughed.

"This will help us when we fight the enemy heroes."

"What are you going to do?"

"There is one more buff monster, but before that, we will fight some enemy heroes. Then, we could hunt for the other monster."

"Right."

Artlan turned and threw his saber at a surviving wolf.

Thluck!

The saber sliced the wolf's neck and flew back to Artlan.

"Follow me."

Junhyuk counted the number of minions left. Five minions had been killed while dealing with the wolves, and there were forty-five minions left. It was bad that they had lost five minions, but now they knew how to survive.

The enemy would inflict a heavier toll on the allied minions, so it was better for them to be taught by monsters.

Artlan ran fast.

"We only have two hours. Hurry up."

Junhyuk followed him and looked over at Sarang. She ran next to him and smiled.

"Big brother, thanks."

"For what?"

"You saved me from that werewolf."

Junhyuk laughed and caressed her hair.

"I did what I had to do."

Sarang smiled at him.

"By the way, being in this battlefield is like playing a game."

"A game?! We have to risk our lives here. It's not like a game."

Junhyuk lifted his head and looked at the purple sky. They were risking their lives, and other beings were looking at them like it was all a game.

He felt sick to his stomach.

"I will meet them sooner or later."

If he became a hero, he might meet them. When that happened, he would have a lot to complain about, but first, he had to become stronger.

Artlan was in the lead, and they took care of other, regular monsters in the forest. Unlike before, the forest path now had monsters along it.

They passed through the forest and came to a familiar place. Minota and Halo were fighting each other there. Junhyuk saw Minota and frowned.

Minota wanted him dead, but this time, the allies had a special advantage. His side had two more heroes, and they were all buffed. It would be easy.

"Save your power. Minota will come after you," Artlan told him.

"Right."

His side had more heroes, giving them the advantage, and Artlan ran forward and shouted:

"Attack!"

Minota had brought fifty minions with him, but the allies were adding forty-five minions to Halo's fifty. They outnumbered the enemy forces.

With the numerical superiority, the minions attacked with courage.

Minota saw Artlan and Vera and frowned.

"They killed him already?"

Minota rushed toward Artlan who was heading toward him. Halo tried to attack him from behind, but Minota was already running.

Bang!

Artlan was hit and bounced to the air and dropped to the ground.

"It's really powerful."

Minota started retreating toward his watchtower, but he looked slower. Artlan had slashed Minota when Minota rushed at him.

Vera smiled.

"Then, what about this?"

Vera made a firewall in front of Minota. He was very slow at that point, but he still went through the firewall. His movement speed had decreased already, and it was decreasing again.

Minota frowned.

"What is wrong with me?"

Minota couldn't will his body to move faster, and Artlan said:

"It's something from the new monsters. Now, time for you to die."

Minota looked around and saw Junhyuk.

"You are here as well!"

Minota realized he was dying. It wasn't only Artlan. There were three heroes, and he was slowed down. He knew he was dying.

So, he decided he should take at least one of them with him to his death and he picked Junhyuk.

Junhyuk ran away from Minota, and Minota was so slow that he did not catch him. Junhyuk smiled, and Minota used his doppelganger skill.

One of the Minotas was not slowed down at all. The movement-speed decrease only affected one of them, but Minota hadn't known about that.

Junhyuk frowned at one of the Minotas. Halo was coming to his rescue, but Minota would get to him first.

Minota hunched over and rushed at him. He was closing in when Junhyuk teleported.

Junhyuk appeared just behind Minota instead of moving far away and slashed Minota's ankle.

He only gave the ox one slash. He had practiced for this moment for a long time, and Minota's skin peeled off, and his muscle was damaged.

It was not deep, but he was hurt.

"Woo, woo-aa-argh!"

Minota turned around to rush him one more time, and Junhyuk teleported. He was now standing behind Halo.

He smiled at Minota, who was beyond angry.

"Filthy ox, you are slow."

Junhyuk was buffed, and he continued to attack, lowering Minota's movement speed with every hit. Minota was very slow now, and Halo showed a rare smile and ran toward the ox.
