Legend of Legends Chapter 263: Dark Clouds Over the Battlefield 1

Artlan lost 30 percent of his health all at once, which meant that the enemy's attack had pierced Artlan's defenses for 30 percent of his health, at least. Keros' shockwave could certainly inflict damage, and that help them understand Tuelus' attack.

Vera gritted her teeth, and Junhyuk stood in front of her and said, "Let's kill at least one."

"Right," and extended her hand, igniting a flame with it. She raised a firewall from under Keros, but he ignored it and ran toward her. The firewall dealt continuous burn damage, but if the hero simply passed through it, they would lose much health. Keros was running, and he had exactly 50 percent of his health left.

Junhyuk rant toward Keros, trying to get his attention, and Keros smirked and ran toward him. Keros had used all of his powers, so Junhyuk thought he could do something and got closer.

Suddenly, Keros swung his massive sword, and just like Artlan had, Junhyuk decided to block the strike with his dual swords.

Clang!

Once the massive sword swung down on his dual swords, without even realizing it, Junhyuk was kneeling before Keros. As he kneeled, he felt Keros' sword slicing through his armor little by little.

"What is this...?"

Keros' strength was unlike that of any hero he had met before, and he gritted his teeth. However, if that continued, he would be sliced in half, so he parried the massive sword to the side.

Slash!

It wasn't a clean parry, and Junhyuk's right arm was lopped off in the process. He started bleeding profusely, but he managed to slash Keros' thigh with the Frozen Rune Sword.

Trying not to groan, he rolled on the ground, distancing himself from Keros, and got up. Keros looked at him and smiled.

"You fight well."

Junhyuk couldn't answer.

"Big brother!"

Suddenly two electric blasts flew across the battlefield and hit Keros' and Tuelus' faces respectively, and a fired spear exploded against the back of Keros' head.

Keros was pushed forward, seeing the fire orb in front of him.

Boom!

He was pushed back, and Junhyuk launched himself against him and stabbed at his neck with the Frozen Rune Sword. However, the stab didn't go through. The paralysis had worn off, and Keros blocked the sword using his gauntlet.

Junhyuk had applied the debuff twice, so when he saw Keros wielding his giant sword, he protected his body with the Frozen Rune sword.

Junhyuk was in the air. The impact of the giant sword against the Frozen Rune Sword had sent him flying. While bouncing, however, Junhyuk used the Spatial Slash again. The Frozen Rune Sword flashed, and the side of Keros neck started bleeding.

"It's been fun," he said, but Keros dove forward, stabbing at him with the giant sword. Junhyuk tried to block, but Keros twisted the sword in the air.

Clang!

Junhyuk's sword bounced back from the impact with the massive sword, which gave Keros a large enough opening to stab him.

"Ugh!"

The massive sword was extremely wide, and it had penetrated his armor. Junhyuk had lost 20 percent of his health when he lost his arm, and Keros had stabbed his heart, so the strike was nearly fatal.

Junhyuk was barely alive, but he couldn't move, so Keros walked closer to him, and stabbed him all the way through, smiling at Junhyuk in the process.

"Everytime I see you, I will kill you."

Junhyuk held Keros by his single horn and said, "Kill me all you want. I will be right there every time you die."

After those words, the world turned dark.

---

The harsh emptiness. He didn't know how much time he had spent travelling through it it. It had felt like a moment, but also like an eternity. After going through it, he breathed hard.

"Whew!"

He raised his right arm and touched his chest. There were no injuries, but he could still feel the massive sword going through it. So, Junhyuk sighed and walked to the exit. He had seen their strength, but he was not scared. He would pay them back for what they had done.

Junhyuk stepped forward.

[Champion Junhyuk Lee deployed.]

When Junhyuk opened the door, he saw Artlan, which was natural. Even after reviving, Artlan would still have to go rejoin the battle, and by then, the fight would be over.

He understood why Artlan was still there. Then, he saw the others standing by Artlan and frowned.

"You were all killed?"

Halo, Nudra and Diane were standing next to Artlan. They were all grimacing.

"What happened?" Artlan asked.

"His strength is unbelievable. Keros killed me."

"You guys hadn't killed him before you were killed?"

"No."

"Vera will be here soon."

Junhyuk was expecting the same outcome, but he was curious about the others' powers.

"Halo, how was your opponent?"

"I met a tank."

"We thought our enemy was a tank too."

Halo shook his head.

"I've been talking to Artlan, and I also think your enemy was a tank, but not like mine."

There was a real tank out there, and Junhyuk felt despondent.

"How was it?"

"My power only inflicted 4 percent of damage to the enemy's health."

Halo had upgraded his equipment and highly boosted his damage, but he had only dealt 4 percent of damage to the enemy. Things were serious.

Halo could deal more than than Artlan, so Halo's enemy had to be a serious tank.

"I retreated, and he followed me to the watchtower and killed me. I'd never seen anyone like him."

As he watched Halo talking, Junhyuk could tell that he was burning with anger and smiled. Nobody's morale was low.

Junhyuk looked at Diane, and she walked over to him without saying anything and hugged him tightly.

"Diane?"

Diane grabbed his butt without speaking, and when he teleported away, she clicked her tongue.

"Crap! It won't wear off if I touch it."

"You did it very suddenly!"

"ha! Do you mean I can touch it if I warn you?"

He shook his head, and Diane shrugged.

"There were two on my side. One was a robot, and the other had a mechanical arm and an evil arm. The robot killed me."

"A robot?"

Diane looked at Nudra.

"Ask Nudra. I saw it, but not up close."

Junhyuk turned to him.

"The beginning was simple. I tried a kick, but the robot's hand pulled me closer, and after that my powers became unusable. They attacked me, and I died."

Junhyuk scowled. If their enemy could take powers away for a short while, they could kill any of them.

Junhyuk looked at Diane, and she shrugged.

"The robot threw a strange net at me, and I got caught in it and died."

"A net?"

"That's right."

The robot had pulled Nudra and thrown a net from a long distance. He would be a difficult enemy.

"How is his defense?"

"Basically, really strong. His attack was high, but his defense at least equals Artlan's."

"They are difficult enemies."

If the team battle happened right then, the allies would lose. Junhyuk sighed, and Vera and Sarang walked out from within the castle. They had to have died at the same time.

Vera looked at the group and couldn't help but laugh aloud.

"Everyone's been killed?"

"Yep, we didn't do much."

Vera sighed and looked at Junhyuk.

"I failed to avenge you."

"That's OK. I'll do it myself."

The heroes all looked at him and burst into laughter. Meanwhile, Diane slapped his butt.

"This is why I like you so much."

He covered his butt with his hands.

"What do we do now?"

Artlan looked at the group and asked, "So, do we know their powers now?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Artlan frowned.

"We know about Keros. What about Tuelus?"

"We couldn't check. The blue beam from his right hand made a circle that swept through the surroundings. That's all we know."

Artlan nodded and looked at the group.

"OK. Sarang, you stay here. If anyone comes, contact us and stay inside the force field. They can kill you with single blow."

"Yes."

He turned to the others and continued, "We should re-equip ourselves, but the first towers are probably down by now, so we'll fight Keros and Tuelus."

They were strong, but not many times stronger than the allies. If the heroes focused on them, they could kill them.

"Kill them first, and we'll head to Bebe after."

The items they were carrying right now wouldn't help them much. Their enemies were that strong, so Junhyuk agreed with the plan.

They would take the lower path, giving up the middle and upper paths, but there was nothing he could do. The allies couldn't defend every path, so they had to concentrate on one.

Junhyuk walked over to Sarang. Her eyes were shaking, and he hugged her tightly.

"Stay here and rest."

"I will."

He patted her back lightly and walked away. Junhyuk was with the heroes to dish out some vengeance.

The five heroes were together, and Junhyuk wondered if he could kill Keros. So far, the heroes hadn't cared who he killed, but now, the enemies had to be carrying amazing items. He had to be careful about picking up items from the ground.

Junhyuk walked out with the heroes, waving goodbye toward Sarang. She did the same enthusiastically. He wanted to be decisive. They had killed him and her, and Junhyuk really wanted to kill one of them with his own hands.

As he walked out of the castle, he felt the living spirit going crazy. It was running around his veins, gobbling down mana like a maniac.

Junhyuk stopped, and the group looked at him. Artlan picked him up and said, "Focus on the living spirit."

Junhyuk couldn't answer, and Diane asked him, "What is wrong with you?"

"He has a living spirit within him now."

"A living spirit? The one that disappeared from your dimension? That's too dangerous!"

"Correct."

Diane stared Artlan down.

"You gave it to my cutie?!"

"He will endure it."

She clicked her tongue and added, "Well, that's too dangerous."

Artlan laughed.

"You're worried."

Diane caressed Junhyuk's butt and added, "It's my hobby. Don't pay any attention to it."
