Junhyuk changed from Sarang’s point of view to the elf’s. He was seeing the inside of the allied castle.
“Did he die already?”
[Do you want a replay of when he died?]
“Do it.”
Junhyuk wanted to know what had happened. The enemy champion had a shadowstep power. It could slink into shadows, but it wasn’t full stealth. So, curious, Junhyuk replayed the events.
In the video, the enemy assassin dashed quickly. The elf fired arrows at the enemy forces, so the assassin turned to smoke, closing in on the elf and stabbing his chest.
The elf was surprised by that. He distanced himself and tried to use his ensnaring power, shooting arrows at the enemy again. The elf was able to tie the enemy up, and the arrows landed on the assassin, injuring him. The elf distanced himself further and shot off more arrows, but the enemy assassin appeared from the elf’s shadow and stabbed him in the back of the neck. The battle was decided like that, with only two hits.
Even though the enemy champion had used his powers, the damage was still very high. They definitely had to watch out for assassins.
Junhyuk sighed and said, “I’ll continued from Sarang’s point of view.”
He started watching the action through Sarang’s eyes again and saw that she was carrying Gongon, walking with him.
“Fast forward.”
The images flashed quickly, and the two appeared in the Swamp of Despair. After they talked to Hatma, they saw the assassin on the opposite side of the stepping-stone path.
The assassin dashed toward them, and Gongon blocked his path. The other two enemy champions appeared soon after. Things had turned precarious for them.
The allied champion was also heading there, but he wouldn’t arrive in time.
Junhyuk frowned at what he was seeing. He wanted to tell them to kill the assassin first as his damage was definitely outstanding.
The assassin was weaker than Kilraden, but he was still very strong. Sarang could end up dying from a combo from him.
Junhyuk, who was watching things through Sarang’s eyes, whispered, “I want a bird’s eye view.”
They knew all of the assassin’s powers, so they knew that the assassin didn’t have a stealth power. The strategy to dealing with a strong, bothersome enemy was to attack from a distance.
Gongon ran first. The assassin, who had been crossing the stepping stones, had the ability to turn into smoke when under attack and move twenty meters. He could also slink into shadows and appear from a shadow thirty meters away from where he started.
To kill him, Sarang and Gongon had to be extremely aware of the distance between them.
Gongon headbutted the approaching assassin, and he changed into smoke, closing in toward Sarang.
The enemy champion had recognized Gongon as the tank, so he wanted to kill Sarang first. Sarang cast her Thunderstorm on the assassin. Once the spell had been triggered, it couldn’t be dodged. The bolts of lighting slammed against the assassin’s head.
The assassin lost a massive chunk of his health at once, and Gongon used his firebreath against the champion’s back.
That was the end of the assassin. He had great attack, but his defense was weak.
Just like the simulation Sarang had run in her head, they had taken care of the assassin. However, the tank and the damager were already standing in front of the two allies.
The tank rushed and tackled Sarang, who lost a good chunk of health.
Gongon tried to run to her rescue, but the tank had already launched her away. Sarang slammed against the ground, but she cast her electric blasts as she did.
The enemy damager made an attack of his own before the electric blast hit him. He was paralyzed, but half of Sarang’s health was gone.
Sarang healed herself, and Gongon transformed. He closed in and beat the crap out of the tank while blocking the damager’s view of Sarang.
The damager was able to move again, and he ran to the side. The tank once again targeted Sarang.
Sarang used her electric arrows on the tank, but her regular attacks did not paralyze it. The tank was still moving toward her.
Her heart pounded fast, and she cast a Thunderstorm on the tank’s head. The champion was heavily damaged, but he still closed in on her and attacked her.
It would’ve been nice for her to keep her distance, but while she attacked, the tank had taken the opportunity to close in on her. Her heartbeat was very fast, and Junhyuk frowned when he felt it.
Even if the tank attacked her, Sarang’s defense was decently high now. She wouldn’t die easily, which made Junhyuk think she should stay calm.
Sarang looked to the side and saw that Gongon had fallen in the Swamp of Despair.
Junhyuk saw it too, and he scowled when he did.
“I told him not to have his back to the swamp!”
The enemy damager had a push power, so the allies had to be careful of that when facing him near the swamp. Gongon had fallen in, which meant that the hatchling had probably been overexcited.
The problem was that Sarang had already used all of her powers, and now she had to deal with two enemies.
Surely, the tank and the damager combined their attacks on her, and Sarang died. The world turned black for her.
Junhyuk sighed. If it had been a team battle, the allies might have had the superiority, but two of them couldn’t deal with three.
Sarang and Gongon had died, so they decided to join with the elf. If their enemies had already acquired the buff, they had to avoid them.
Watching the action, Junhyuk asked, “Are the buffs the same?”
[The buffs now last longer. That was done to eliminate situations where one couldn’t take advantage of the buffs. The amount of active hours has increased.]
“Yeah? That’s unexpected. Fast forward.”
[Yes, sir.]
The images flashed quickly to a point where the allies were engaged in battle. However, what if the enemies had the buffs? If the allies could kill them, they would take the buffs, and with the buffs, they could win easily.
The allies had gathered and attacked the lower path. As he watched the action, Junhyuk asked, “Is there a bird’s-eye-view mode? Can you feed the action through two images, with one running a bird’s eye view of the battlefield?”
[That is possible.]
Junhyuk saw a minimap appear in the corner of his vision. From there, he could see the enemies’ movements.
Two were running away from the Swamp of Despair, and another was coming out of the enemy castle. The three would gather at the second tower, and they were taking a large number of lizardmen with them.
They meant to push the allies and decide the match.
Junhyuk bit his lip as he watched. Sarang did not know that the enemies were coming her way. She was carrying Gongon while walking by the elf. Her heart was pounding, and Junhyuk couldn’t tell if it was because she was hugging Gongon or if it was because she was walking next to the handsome elf. She wasn’t paying attention to the battlefield.
She could be ambushed by the enemy champions like that.
Junhyuk kept watching. He couldn’t give them advice since they were in different timelines.
He saw a being waiting for them at the enemies’ second tower. The assassin was looking at the allies and smiling. It wasn’t easy to keep away from him.
The assassin sent the lizardmen forward. The allies had also brought minions, but the enemies’ lizardmen outnumbered the allies’ by double.
Gongon stepped forward, and the assassin stepped behind the lizardmen.
Junhyuk muttered to himself, “Don’t forget the simulation.”
The allies had experienced situations like that before, when the enemies had had the buffs. However, when Junhyuk had been a champion, he had not cared about the enemies having buffs. They had only been buffed for a short time before.
The active time had increased now, so the assassin waited behind the lizardmen, while the tank and the damager appeared behind the allies.
Gongon turned around and ran toward the tank and the damager, and that’s when the assassin moved toward the allies. The allies were surrounded by their enemies, and in that situation, they should clear their path of retreat to maximize their movement speeds.
Sarang cast electric arrows on the enemies behind her. To Junhyuk, she should kill the damager first. Killing him meant that she could take his buff and change the course of the battle.
Junhyuk was hopeful as he watched them. The tank tackled Gongon, so Gongon transformed and threw the tank away. Sarang shot an electric arrow at the tank as well.
The electric arrows were lucky, and both the tank and the damager were paralyzed.
Gongon headbutted the damager. Transformed, the damage of his attacks was outstanding. The enemy damager lost a massive chunk of his health from the attack. Meanwhile, a Thunderstorm fell on the tank.
Gongon could kill the damager by himself, but the enemies regained their movements. The enemy damager moved forward while firing an arrow. Sarang got hit by it and was pushed back.
The enemies attacked her from behind, and the assassin appeared from her shadow, stabbing her. Her vision went dark.
Junhyuk frowned and said, “Change to Gongon’s point of view.”
Junhyuk started watching things from Gongon’s eyes. Gongon was beating the crap out of the enemy tank. The damager had died, and Gongon had gotten his buff. The assassin was now focusing on him.
Junhyuk clicked his tongue. With the buff, the assassin’s damage was extreme. If Sarang were still alive, she could have healed Gongon, but she had already died.
The elf attacked the enemy assassin, but Gongon died.
Gongon’s vision went dark, and Junhyuk scowled. He had thought the allies would win easily, but they were getting their asses kicked.
Junhyuk closed his eyes for a while and slowly opened them.
“If they keep their buffs, the allies will be at a disadvantage during team battles.”
Junhyuk believed the allies would win. He was thinking of Gongon and Sarang when he thought that. The allies were lacking his force field, but he still believed in his friends.
Unexpectedly, the elf was useless.
“He just looks handsome,” he said. “Sarang’s point of view.”
Sarang met up with Gongon and they talked. Her heart was pounding like crazy. Was that because she was angry? Junhyuk was curious, but he couldn’t get an answer.
They moved with the elf again, taking the lower path once more.
“Fast forward.”
The allies zoomed, and the minimap showed the enemy location. They had pushed the bottom path, so the first allied tower fell. They were headed to the second allied tower.
All of the buffs were gone, so the allies could really fight now. However, the allies didn’t wait at the second tower. Instead, they advanced to meet their enemies on the road.
Gongon stepped forward first again.
Junhyuk was worried. The enemies weren’t buffed, so Gongon could kick ass. If the allies supported Gongon, they could win.
However, Gongon was two far ahead. Sarang and the elf were following him, but the enemy tank was already approaching the hatchling.
Gongon transformed and rushed at the tank. The tank got launched away, and the enemies grouped up in one place. Sarang quickly cast her Thunderstorm on them.
The assassin was in the middle, but he had expected that. He turned into smoke and appeared behind Gongon, stabbing the hatchling in the neck.
The three attacked Gongon, and the dragon found himself in a precarious position. Junhyuk balled his hands into fists. Meanwhile, Gongon jumped up. He went up for about twenty meters and rolled into a ball. Gongon was in the air with nowhere to go.
Junhyuk stood up from the suspense, and suddenly, something changed.
With Gongon as the center, huge flames whirled around the area. Junhyuk’s eyes widened. A dragon beating two wings appeared, covered in flames.
It looked just like the one in the Dragon’s Valley, but it was smaller. Still, the small dragon looked extremely dangerous.
Sarang’s heart pounded again.
Without noticing, Junhyuk shouted, “Nice, Gon!”
