Kaljaque landed and dashed angrily toward Junhyuk.

“I wasn’t too late. I was able to save you,” Junhyuk said right off the bat.

Kaljaque looked surprised and tried to speak, but Aktur interjected, “You keep being loud, and if the enemy revives, I will kick your big ass.”

Kaljaque looked at Junhyuk and Aktur, then ran frustrated toward the castle. The enemy champions were all dead, and they had to act quickly. If all of their enemies revived, they would lose their advantage.

Kaljaque knew that too and pounded at the castle wall. The castle’s protections didn’t hold, and twenty lizardmen survived. Junhyuk had been attacking the gate with them and entered the castle. Inside the castle, Junhyuk quickly killed all the archers left on the castle wall and looked inside. The golem was standing there.

So far, he had supported the heroes in fighting the golems, but now he had to kill the golem himself. Drakey had been killed first, and he was already standing next to the golem.

“Champions revive that fast?” Junhyuk murmured and started walking down from the wall. The golem was stronger than a champion, so even if all three of them were still alive, they couldn’t let their guards down.

Junhyuk looked at Kaljaque. His absurd regenerating power gave him 20 percent of his health back, and he was still gaining more. When he was not fighting, his regeneration rate was much faster than when he was engaged in combat.

Junhyuk finally got down from the wall.

“We should’ve come sooner rather than stood there talking nonsense.”

Aktur clicked his tongue and looked at Junhyuk.

“Tell Kaljaque to regain his health, and you bring the lizardmen inside. We’ll pull Drakey again.”

“Can we do it so easily?”

“I’ll do the pulling.”

Junhyuk looked at Kaljaque.

“Wait here.”

Kaljaque pouted but didn’t answer.

Aktur uttered a few words for his benefit, “If you want, go and get yourself killed. I don’t care.”

Aktur tone was sharp and harsh, but Kaljaque didn’t answer.

“What are you doing?! Attack!” Aktur shouted at the lizardmen.

They went toward the golem, and the golem started moving. Before Drakey also moved, Junhyuk ran and said, “I’ll get his attention.”

“OK.”

Aktur followed him, and Junhyuk looked at the golem. At that moment, the golem was stepping on the lizardmen. However, when Junhyuk attacked Drakey, the golem would focus on him. Junhyuk was aware of that and still ran toward Drakey. He wanted to get Drakey’s attention, so Aktur could find an opening to pull him.

Drakey saw Junhyuk approaching and stepped back. Soon after he had died, Gyulsean had died, so she would revive soon. When she did, the allied champions would be in serious trouble.

Drakey launched a sound wave against Junhyuk. That was his most potent attack, so Junhyuk teleported right away, appearing next to him while wielding a sword.

Clang!

Drakey had already witnessed the teleportation, so he was ready to react. The golem turned and dashed toward Junhyuk. Drakey and the golem attacked him at the same time, making it very dangerous for Junhyuk. He dashed quickly behind Drakey, blocking Drakey’s path to the castle’s force field.

Drakey turned around, and Aktur’s bandages wrapped around his neck. Aktur started pulling Drakey toward him while the golem attempted to pound Junhyuk with its fists. Junhyuk dodged it and headed for Aktur.

Drakey summoned a tornado while being pulled. Aktur had a lot of experience fighting him, so he hadn’t summoned his skeleton soldiers yet and got launched instead. Junhyuk dodged the golem’s attempts to step on him and went to help Aktur. Kaljaque rushed toward Drakey.

He intended to prevent Drakey from retreating, so he rushed and howled. At that point, Kaljaque didn’t have a lot of health. If possible, they had to help him. Aktur landed and summoned the skeleton soldiers, Junhyuk decided to leave the situation to Aktur and turned to face the golem. It had to die anyway.

He watched the two attack Drakey and stood in the golem’s path. The remaining lizardmen were attacking it from behind, and the golem tried to step on him. Junhyuk rolled to the side and brandished his sword.

Crack, crack!

That golem was different from the ones at the Valley of Death. There, Junhyuk couldn’t land a proper hit on the golems. It never felt like he was hitting them. However, right now, his strikes had an effect.

Junhyuk was stronger, but the golem was also weaker at the Swamp. Still, Junhyuk couldn’t just  ignore it. The golem was stronger than a champion. Since he couldn’t ignore the golem’s attacks, he focused on dodging the blows and countering them. Then, he heard a soft voice.

[Aktur killed Drakey.]

“Aktur!” Kaljaque suddenly screamed, and Junhyuk laughed aloud.

Aktur also didn’t yield kills to Kaljaque.

Kaljaque was throwing a tantrum, and Junhyuk had to get him under control.

“Come here and help!”

Aktur came over and joined the fight, and the golem started getting crushed. However, Kaljaque wasn’t helping. Junhyuk looked at him, and he was just standing there, frowning.

“Retreat!”

Junhyuk was turning around when an arrow zoomed in. He turned quickly attempting to dodge it, but the arrow sank into his shoulder, pushing him backward.

“Shit! Revived already?!”

Gyulsean was outside of the force field drawing her bow again. Junhyuk tried to step forward when Kaljaque ran by him.

“She is mine!”

Kaljaque had regained his health, but he couldn’t kill Gyulsean by himself. The golem was still standing. However, Kaljaque didn’t see anything else. He approached her wielding his staff and swung mindlessly, but he still dealt her some heavy hits.

Gyulsean could escape and counterattack, but Kaljaque wasn’t alone. Junhyuk looked at Aktur. He was clawing the golem with his nails.

“Go help him!”

“Right,” Junhyuk responded. As he ran, he shouted at Kaljaque, “I will help you!”

“I don’t need it!”

Kaljaque had lost two chances to kill champions, and he was feeling slighted. So, he yelled that he didn’t need help. However, Junhyuk couldn’t concede to him.

“If time passes, Lugos will come. That’s a problem.” Junhyuk said and aimed at Gyulsean’s side, and Kaljaque swung his staff. He didn’t swing it against her, but toward Junhyuk.

Junhyuk quickly stepped back, and Gyulsean stabbed Kaljaque in the ribs.

“Don’t interfere.”

Junhyuk thought the troll had gone crazy. He wanted to Spatial Slash him but didn’t.

“Come here and help,” Aktur shouted at Junhyuk.

He stared at Kaljaque and turned to face the golem. If they killed the golem they would win, even if Kaljaque was killed by Gyulsean.

He joined the fight, and the golem was crushed. Aktur’s nails crushed the golem’s head, destroying it completely.

Junhyuk looked at the fallen golem and turned to look at Kaljaque. That’s when he saw Lugos approaching him. Lugos had revived.

Boom!

As Lugos arrived, he stomped the ground, sending Kaljaque into the air. Gyulsean switched to her bow and shot him in the arm. Her arrow hit him, leaving him with 8 percent of his health. He could be killed, and Junhyuk faced another dilemma. He could save Kaljaque with the force field, but questioned whether he should do it.

While he thought about it, Lugos’ arms enlarged and struck Kaljaque.

“Aaagh!”

Kaljaque started disappearing. Junhyuk’s little hesitation had killed him, and Junhyuk felt bitter about it.

“We don’t have time. Kill Gyulsean,” Aktur told him.

Aktur dashed first, and Junhyuk followed him. Junhyuk looked at Kaljaque disappearing. He was turning gray and still holding his staff.

“Who me?! You think I will die this way?!”

Junhyuk tried to ignore him.

“What?”

“I will kill everyone!”

Kaljaque had started disappearing, but he wasn’t dying. Aktur also stopped.

“Really?”

Aktur looked at Junhyuk, and Junhyuk’s asked, “Revive?”

“Did he activate a new power?”

Gyulsean and Lugos were also looking at him. Kaljaque was completely healed, and he was bigger than before. He was four meters tall, and his eyes beamed as he raised his staff.

“Die!”

Boom, boom, boom!

He struck three times and he was stronger than ever before. Gyulsean lost her healthy quickly, leaving her at 50 percent. Junhyuk didn’t hesitate and used the Spatial Slash on her.

[You killed Gyulsean and earned 3,000G.]

Kaljaque looked at him and shouted, “You stole from me again?!”

Junhyuk retreated instinctively. If he hadn’t, Kaljaque’s staff would’ve hit him. Meanwhile, Lugos retreated into the castle’s force field.

Kaljaque walked toward Junhyuk, and Aktur got in between them.

“Stop!”

Kaljaque looked at Aktur.

“You are same! You dare to steal from me?!”

Kaljaque swung against Aktur, but Junhyuk touched him and teleported to the castle’s force field. Kaljaque was crazy and rushing toward them, and Junhyuk asked, “Kaljaque, did you become a hero?”

“Yes.”

“Then, we won’t see you again?”

“Yes.”

Kaljaque swung his staff, and Junhyuk launched the force field.

Clung!

The staff bounced off.

“Then, destroy the castle.”

Aktur knew where Junhyuk what getting at and pounded at the castle’s force field. Junhyuk joined in, and the force field started to lose its resistance quickly. It was weaker than the one at the Valley of Death.

Kaljaque kept attacking them both, meaning to kill them, but they just ignored him and managed to destroy the castle’s force field.

Junhyuk turned around slowly, and Kaljaque stared at them.

“You two stole from me. Now, I won’t see you again.”

Aktur smiled sinisterly.

“You are a hero now. I won’t see you again. Congratulations on becoming a hero.”

Junhyuk saw Kaljaque disappearing and said, “It’s a relief that you are a hero now.”
