Chapter 243: Fury 2
Gongon was gone, and Junhyuk couldn’t let his guard down. Gongon had fallen into the swamp, but Junhyuk didn’t hear any announcement saying that the hatchling had been killed by someone.
He ran over the stepping stones and attacked Lugo, who only had 30 percent of his health left. Lugos ran in his direction to prevent him from getting on the island. Still, Junhyuk had a lot more health than him.
Lugos swung his weapons torwad Junhyuk. Junhyuk saw the axe approaching and attempted to block it with his dual swords, even knowing the impact could knock him into the swamp.
Lugos’ eye glinted, and he used all four of his arms to put power behind the attack. However, Junhyuk saw his muscles move first and teleported. He appeared behind Lugos, swinging his dual swords down at him and slashing his back twice.
Lugos tried to turn around, but Junhyuk kicked him back and stepped back, putting some distance between them. Lugos went wild. He only had 15 percent of his health left, and two regular strikes would finish him off.
Lugos knew his powers hadn’t returned, so he turned around and started running away. Junhyuk saw Lugos crossing the stepping stones and chased after him. He wanted to keep his distance and use the Spatial Slash when it returning, so he didn’t speed up. Nothing good would come from fighting on the stepping stones.
Once Lugos crossed, Junhyuk picked up his pace. Lugos knew that his health was too low to take on Junhyuk. After searching for the optimal spot for their battle, Lugos ran into the reed field. When Junhyuk saw it, he hesitated.
Lugos might ambush him, but he wouldn’t die. However, he did not want to lose his health. Junhyuk pondered his options and ran into the forest. Suddenly, an attack came from his side, and he blocked it with his sword.
Clang!
It was an axe attack, and although he blocked it instinctively, he couldn’t deal with force behind it, and his body got launched into the air. Then, Lugos swung his axe down.
Clang!
He blocked it with his sword, but while in air, he couldn’t position himself correctly. As he landed, Lugos stabbed at him with a short spear. Junhyuk twisted his body around, but the spear still grazed his shoulder.
He was bleeding, but he swung his sword at Lugos, who tried to retreat quickly. However, Lugos still got pierced in the ribs, and his health fell to 10 percent. Junhyuk ran after him, and Lugos hid himself in the reed field once again.
Junhyuk did not want to lose sight of Lugos, so he went into the reed field himself. Lugos ambushed him again, but this time his arms had enlarged.
Junhyuk blocked the attack.
Clang!
It was a powerful blow, but it did not hit Junhyuk, so there was no damage. As he blocked Lugos’ attacks, Lugos closed in and tried to split Junhyuk’s head in half, as if it were a watermelon, with an axe.
Junhyuk, in turn, tried to approach him as well, but when Junhyuk did that, Lugos smiled at him and stomped the ground.
Boom!
The impact generated shockwaves that launched Junhyuk into the air. Lugos had been waiting for that and swung all of his weapons at Junhyuk, leaving him with 30 percent of his health.
Junhyuk couldn’t allow himself to be hit by any more attacks.
Lugos smiled and swung for more strikes. Lugos’ arms were enlarged, and Junhyuk couldn’t allow the combo to go through, so when he hit the ground he focused everything on dealing with it.
He blocked the attacks with his swords, but was pushed back from the impact and force of the strikes. Junhyuk only had a bit of health left, and Lugos started to get greedy. Lugos himself only had 10 percent of his health, but held nothing back, and his body darkened.
Lugos was coming at him, and Junhyuk took a deep breath.
His attacks dealt half damage when Lugos was buffed like that, and Lugos had to attack him at least three times to kill him.
Junhyuk trusted himself. He saw Lugos running toward him and ran forward to meet him.
The cyclops’ single eye sparkled.
“Just die!” Lugos shouted, beginning the flurry of attacks.
However, Lugos had a pattern to his axe attacks. He tried to split Junhyuk head, but Junhyuk dodged it just in time.
Slash!
The axe wooshed past him, and Junhyuk tightened his grip on the Frozen Rune Sword. At the right time, Junhyuk counterattacked. Lugos had been expecting it and parried the attack with his axe.
Once again, Junhyuk came to the realization that Lugos had four arms, so he closed in on Lugos and kicked his shin.
Lugos tried to stab him with the short spear, but Junhyuk stepped on Lugos’ knee and jumped, using the momentum to do a backflip. The short spear swung past him, and he slashing Lugos’ arm with his sword during the flip. The strike only dealt half the damage, but it still took 5 percent of Lugos’ health away.
However, Junhyuk saw a sword coming upward toward him, and there was nowhere for him to escape it.
Slash!
He shoulder got sliced, and Junhyuk remained cautious about Lugos, so the cyclops couldn’t follow it with a combo.
Lugos pushed forward, meaning to finish Junhyuk off, and Junhyuk stepped back.
“Where are you going!” Lugos screamed, and he smiled at the cyclops.
“Too late,” he said, and the Spatial Slash flashed against Lugos’ neck, which spurted like a fountain.
[You’ve killed Lugos and earned 3,000G.]
He had managed to kill Lugos with the Spatial Slash, but Lugos had also changed. The cyclops had even planned an ambush for Junhyuk in the reed field.
“I have to be more careful.”
He shook his head and began walking in the direction of his quest. Junhyuk’s health was low, but he was recovering slowly. Once he arrived at his destination, he was surprised.
“It’s not possible to predict anything here.”
He was standing on a clearing, and there were riflemen all over. The riflemen aimed at him.
Junhyuk had recovered half of his health, and after a quick search for his target, he found what he was looking for.
The target had such a big head that he was easily spotted.
When he stepped forward, he suddenly saw Gongon’s floating head.
“Where are you?”
“I’m at the quest.”
“I’ll be late.”
“Sure, but the enemies will block the way back. Go join Aktur and kill Drakey, then come to the island.”
“With Aktur?”
“Yes.”
“Sure. Did you kill LUgos?”
“Yes, I killed him.”
“OK. See you later.”
Gongon cut off communications, and Junhyuk inhaled deeply while looking at the enemy ahead.
“It’s time to begin.”
He ran at them, and the riflemen shot at him, so Junhyuk raised the force field around himself. He decide to get to Bron from the get-go.
Protected by the forcefield, he ran fast, and his enemies were at a loss for what to do. Once he stood in front of Bron, the force field ran out of time, but Junhyuk ignored that. He also did not use the Spatial Slash because he didn’t know how much health Bron had.
He was about to slash Bron when Bron pulled the trigger on his rifle.
Bang!
The sound of gunshot rang out, and Junhyuk scowled. He had lost 10 percent of his health with that single shot. However, he still managed to swing his sword. He knew what had to be done.
Surprised, Bron hadn’t expected the attack, and his rifle was sliced in half. Junhyuk took a step closer to Bron, but he suddenly pulled out a gatling gun.
The muzzle started firing like crazy, and Junhyuk just teleported. He appeared behind Bron, swing his sword down at him. Once the sword touched Bron’s simple armor…
Clang!
… Bron’s head turned 180-degrees, and he fired the gatling gun again.
Junhyuk knew that his only option was the Spatial Slash at that point. His sword flashed, and a gash appeared on Bron’s neck, the only part of his body not protected by armor.
“Ugh”
Bron was bleeding heavily, and Junhyuk teleported again and checked on Bron’s health. He had lost health of his health. Bron turned around, and Junhyuk swung his sword at Bron’s arm.
Clang!
His armor looked like simple clothes, but it prevented all the damage to Bron. At that point, the riflemen started shooting at Junhyuk.
Junhyuk ignored it, still focused on Bron. However, each bullet that struck him dealt 5 percent of damage to his health.
“What?!”
Those were some strong bullets. The riflemen weren’t minions, and Bron aimed at him again. Junhyuk hit the gatling gun with the Frozen Rune Sword and stabbed forward with the Blood Rune Sword.
Bron was getting wide-eyed. Junhyuk had realized that the only spot he could attack Bron was his neck, so he stabbed deeper.
“What the hell…?”
Junhyuk twisted and pushed his sword in deeper, but Bron had his gun against Junhyuk’s stomach, and Junhyuk had already used all his powers. He wanted to finish Bron and swung his other sword.
Bang!
After the sound of gunshot, Junhyuk was pushed off and rolled back on the ground. The shot had an unbelievable destructive power, and he lost 15 percent of his health.
“Is that his power?”
Junhyuk had a power that gave him perfect defense, and other people were completely focused on attacks, but Bron’s defense was extremely high, and his attack with the gatling gun was very powerful.
Bron had 10 percent of his health remaining.
Junhyuk got up, but soon had to roll around trying to escape Bron’s shots.
Rat-at-at-at-at!
The shooting raised a dirt cloud from the ground, and Junhyuk used the opportunity to close in on Bron.
“Shoot his legs!” Bron shouted.
The riflemen and Bron shot at him, but he kept running. There was the possibility that Junhyuk could die without completing the quest.
“Don’t make me laugh!”
