Junhyuk ran toward the watchtower to destroy it and saw the enemy minions forming a line and taking a kneeling position to shoot at the allies.

“Shields up!” He shouted, and the minions lifted their shields.

If they had been a moment late, they would have been killed while running. As soon as the minions lifted their shields, the enemy minions started shooting.

Tack, tack, tack, tack!

It was a relief. The shields could withstand the bullets, but many minions were still hurt and rolling on the ground. Being closer to the enemies, they had been hit on the leg or the shoulder where the shields couldn’t protect them.

Junhyuk rushed to the enemy camp with the bullets bouncing off Bebe’s Black Armor. As he approached, the frontline riflemen got up and tried to use their bayonets against him while the backline continued to shoot.

However, Junhyuk had reached the enemy line swinging his swords, so he sliced and diced the riflemen. Meanwhile, the archers sent out a volley. Junhyuk grabbed a fallen rifleman and used him to cover himself. The arrows hit the rifleman, and Junhyuk ran around swinging his sword again.

No one could withstand his sword attacks. Junhyuk was sweeping through the enemy minions while Artlan destroyed the watchtower. Artlan was using the cadaver of a rifleman to shield himself while doing everything he could to destroy the watchtower. A downed watchtower would mean a lot. It made a big difference.

Suddenly, Artlan tensed.

“Retreat!” He shouted.

After the shout, Junhyuk retreated without hesitation.

“Go back!” Junhyuk shouted, and the minions retreated.

They were in close range of the riflemen, and it was not easy to disengage, but Junhyuk was wreaking havoc at the enemy line, so the minions were able to retreat.

After everyone retreated, including Artlan, Junhyuk looked over at the watchtower. There were people running toward them. Soon, they ran in front of the riflemen. They were covered in red-colored circles, so they had to have killed a buff monster.

There are two of them.

Junhyuk was glad that Artlan had spotted them first, but Artlan just looked at the enemy.

“They were faster,” he said.

As the two ran, their expressions hardened.

“Hm. Is Bater already dead?”

They were two heroes. One of them was a woman, and she had an eyepatch with a gem shaped like a skull. She wore rollerblades on her feet.

Bater had mechanical arms, and she focused on her legs. She was also holding something out of a character.

“Heroes have guns?!”

On her right hand, she was holding a cutlass, and her left hand held a pistol. She was ready for close- and mid-ranged combat.

The person standing behind her posed a bigger problem. He has a thick beard and dark circles around his eyes. He was wearing what looked like a labcoat, and the lower half of his body looked like a mechanical spider’s body. It even had eight legs. He looked bizarre and he also seemed to be a hero. Both of them looked extremely dangerous.

They were also buffed. It wouldn’t be easy to deal with them.

Junhyuk was freaking out when some more people appeared. It was Nudra and Vera, and they were covered by purple circles.

His side now had three heroes while the opposite side had two. He was thinking his side had the advantage when another man appeared. Unlike the riflemen, he was holding a sword, but it wasn’t an ordinary sword. It was big, and the back edge was serrated.

Looking at his size, he was not a minion.

“He looks like an expert,” Junhyuk whispered, and Vera nodded.

“Right. He looks dangerous.”

They didn’t know anything about his power. Junhyuk’s had high ranking powers, but if he got hit by that blade, he would be killed.

“Do you know anything about their powers?” He asked Vera.

“I will when we fight them,” she replied.

It was important to have information about powers when fighting heroes. Vera turned around, and Nudra stepped forward. Artlan was standing next to him. Vera and Nudra were thinking about fighting to get information on the enemies’ powers, but Artlan was tired.

He had just fought a hard battle and was not at full health. Junhyuk walked toward him to launched his force field when Vera stopped him.

“Don’t interfere. Nothing good will come out of it.”

“But Artlan is not doing well.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll support him.”

Junhyuk was relieved to hear that. He thought that Vera should be sufficient.

“You should keep an eye on that guy,” she said, pointing to the expert among the new heroes.

Junhyuk had no means to fight at long range. If that guy used his power, he would know how to fight him. He was nervously staring at the expert, and Artlan stepped forward. It looked like the rollerblade woman was going to back up by hunching over, but she burst forward toward Artlan at a high speed.

Artlan was surprised by the speed, and the woman swung her cutlass.

Clung!

Artlan’s saber met her cutlass, and she smiled.

“Your name?”

“Artlan.”

“We will meet often. I’m Regina. Nice to meet you.”

Regina smiled, and Artlan swung at her. Regina tilted back and dodged his attack, lifting the pistol in her left hand as she did it.

Boom!

The pistol shot like buckshot, with a large spread, covering Artlan’s body. Artlan tried to protect his weak spots, but he couldn’t really escape.

“That’s a power.”

It wasn’t a simple attack. If it weren’t a power, Artlan wouldn’t be so hurt by it. Artlan took a step back from the impact, and Regina was about to pull the trigger again when Nudra dropped in.

Nudra kicked Regina, pushing her back. As that happened, Nudra retreated, but the mechanical spider-man stepped forward.

“It was an one-on-one fight, and you interfered. Lower class people are different.”

Nudra looked at him and said:

“I’m Nudra. What is your name?”

The man with dark circles around his eyes answered:

“Everyone calls me Doctor Tula.”

Doctor Tula stepped forward and signaled for Regina. She joined him, and Doctor Tula smiled.

“Since there are three of you, you must feel confident,” he said. “I will even those odds.”

His eight legs crawled quickly, and he rushed toward Nudra. Nudra extended his arms and released a strong wind, and the doctor was pushed back. However, unlike the others, Doctor Tula pierced the ground with his legs, eventually holding him in place. He smiled coldly.

“Got you.”

Small openings appeared in Doctor Tula’s mechanical body, and small spiders poured out of them, quickly cocooning Nudra in their web.

Nudra tried to move, but the web was too tight.

Doctor Tula smiled, and Artlan rushed forward. However, the doctor was faster, and he ignited the web. A giant flame quickly engulfed Nudra, and Artlan jumped up.

“You, stop,” Regina said and fired.

Artlan blocked the bullets in mid air using his saber and dropped on Doctor Tula.

The doctor moved sideways like crab and dodged Artlan’s attack. However, he had been able to save Nudra because the fire had stopped.

Vera, who had been watching, stepped forward. She launched a huge firewall right in front of the enemy heroes, giving Nudra enough time to free himself from the spider web. However, he had lost a lot of health.

Their enemies were accurate and powerful, and both Artlan and Nudra had lost a lot of health.

Junhyuk watched Doctor Tula. He didn’t know the range of the doctor’s spider webs. The webs could tie people up, something that he had not seen before. When someone was tied up, that person could be killed instantly. He realized the battles would be hard fought.

Junhyuk looked back at the man who looked like an expert, holding the mechanical blade, and the doctor gave him a signal.

“Help me, Adolphe.”

The man called Adolphe stepped forward, standing just behind the doctor and Regina. Experts usually had supporting roles.

What kind of power does Adolphe have?

Junhyuk stood behind Vera just in case. Because they hadn’t known their enemies’ powers, his side had been severely hurt. Nudra and Artlan were on the verge of being killed. It was a dangerous situation.

He had to stop them. If the heroes were killed, he and Sarang would be in danger.

Junhyuk stepped forward, and Artlan said:

“Kill Doctor Tula first!”

Regina posed a lot of danger with her weapons, but the doctor was even more dangerous. Artlan jumped, and Nudra followed him. Regina scoffed at them and ran ahead shooting. Nudra moved his body slightly, dodging the bullets. Then, a fire orb appeared in front of Regina. She was trying to move back when the orb exploded.

Boom!

Regina retreated, but Artlan had already closed the distance, aiming for Doctor Tula. The doctor lifted his spider legs, trying to block Artlan’s sabers. The spider legs were sharp enough to be used for attack.

Clung!

Doctor Tula blocked Artlan, and Nudra kicked him, pushing him back. Junhyuk watched Adolphe stab the ground with his mechanical blade, and something came out of Adolphe’s waist pouch. It looked like a boomerang that was aiming at Artlan and Nudra. They dodged it at first, but the boomerang turned liquid and tied both of them up. That was Adolphe’s power.

Artlan and Nudra were immobilized, so Regina aimed at them with her pistol, and Doctor Tula cast fire.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha! Die!”

Artlan and Nudra had very little health left. However, an ivory-colored field covered both of them. Regina’s bullets and Tula’s fire bounced off of it, and Artlan smiled from inside.

“Our power is stronger.”

Adolphe’s liquid rope disappeared, and Artlan launched his saber at the doctor.
