Chapter 74: Bouncing Back 1

Dark Night Cloak

Defense +5

Evasion +2%

Absolute Evasion +10%

It looks cooler if you wear it on a dark night. People who value evasion more than defense wear it because it increases one’s evasion chance.

Absolute Evasion: the wearer evades basic attacks and powers completely.

---

Junhyuk got the cloak by killing Skia. He didn’t think it would be very good, but he put it on anyway, only to find out it had interesting attributes.

When fighting a monster while under absolute evasion, he would not be hurt at all and could mount his own attacks. He would be able to easily kill some monsters, but the chance of it working was the problem.

The cloak only gave a 10 percent chance of absolute evasion. In other words, 90 percent of the time, it wouldn’t work, and when the opponent was a hero, one blow could be deadly, so Junhyuk couldn’t rely on the cloak alone.

Right then, he had to fight. He had fought heroes before, and a hero’s ordinary attack could be blocked by an expert like him. However, he would still get hurt, but it was better to block than getting hit.

Ordinary attacks could be blocked or evaded, so he had to place his focus on the opponent’s special power, especially on ranged attacks or rushes, which could kill him instantly.

He had to be aware of these situations, and Junhyuk approached Ellic. He had made up his mind that he might be killed in that place, but he wanted to stall for as much as time possible in case he was killed. He was focused.

Ellic saw Junhyuk heading toward him and scoffed at the scene, lifting his hammer. Junhyuk dodged Ellic’s hammer while swinging his swords.

Thung!

Ellic’s expression stiffened. Junhyuk was buffed and he was able to pierce Ellic’s defense, damaging him. The strike inflicted a fixed amount of damage, and Ellic’s high defense was of little value.

Ellic was hurt by Halo and had lost a lot of health. Even though his health regeneration rate had gone up, he had not regained all of his health and he couldn’t ignore the fixed amount of 100 damage to him.

He understood all of that and swung his hammer fiercely, without exposing any weak spots. Junhyuk quickly swung his swords, attempting to hit and run, but he couldn’t escape the hammer entirely.

Junhyuk was being pushed back slowly. He had fought against Warren before, so he thought he could take Ellic on, but now he realized Ellic was a hero. Warren was wild, but Ellic was organized, and he hammered with purpose. He was slow, but when Junhyuk tried to attack his weak spots, he countered with his own attacks.

Ellic was speechless, however. Junhyuk was only an expert, and his attacks weren’t working. He wasn’t very angry, but he wanted to put an end to that fight, so he lifted his hammer, but Junhyuk knew what was coming. Ellic was about to use his power.

He slammed the hammer right when the ivory-colored force field surrounded Junhyuk.

Clang!

As Ellic’s hammer slammed the force field, it created a shockwave over Junhyuk’s head. Inside of the force field, Junhyuk stared at him. Ellic was better than he had expected. Junhyuk had a 30 percent attack speed increase, but that was not enough.

He decided to take extreme measures and used the Blood Rune Sword to cut his hand, staring at Ellic in the process.

"You are dead."

He cut his hand three times and heard a soft whisper:

[You stacked three self-injuries with the Blood Rune Sword. You get a 30-percent buff to attack speed and a 15-percent buff to movement speed.]

Junhyuk grinned and moved toward Ellic. The force field was still around him, and there was nothing Ellic could do.

However, Ellic knew one way to deal with that. He could push the force field with Junhyuk inside, so he rushed. Junhyuk was not bounced back, however, because he swung his swords quickly.

"Ugh!"

Ellic had meant to push him with his hammer, but now he was barely able to block the swords’ attacks.

Clung, clung, clung!

The attacks were different. Junhyuk’s attack speed was faster than Ellic had expected. Ellic let three hits through his defense, and his movement and attack speeds decreased. Junhyuk smiled.

"I’ve got you now."

Junhyuk was attacking a hero and pushing him around. Ellic frowned and swung his hammer. He kept attacking without worrying about defending himself.

However, with increased movement and attack speeds, Junhyuk was able to put pressure on him. Little by little, his opponent was slowing down while he was getting faster.

Normally, Ellic’s defense would negate all of Junhyuk’s attacks. However, this time, he had the dragon’s buff, and the fixed damage was working well against Ellic.

Ellic had thought the fight would be simple, but Junhyuk continued to inflict damage on him, so he started fearing for his life and retreated, realizing that he could end up dead.

However, since Junhyuk’s movement speed was faster than Ellic’s, he chased after Ellic and continued attacking.

His attacks were getting so fast that Ellic started getting hit more and more and had to focus on defense.

Ellic blocked the attacks with his hammer, which stopped Junhyuk’s advances. He didn’t have enough strength to push the hammer away and, even with the force field, he couldn’t bring the fight to an end.

Ellic went on defense and waited. Junhyuk’s force field only lasted for a total of ten seconds, so he had to wait to win.

"Ha-ha-ha! Only three seconds remaining," Ellic said.

Junhyuk gritted his teeth. There was nothing more he could do except to attack a few more times while the force field was still up.

He did his best, but he was only able to hit Ellic twice in the last three seconds, and the force field disappeared.

"Ha-ha-ha! Now, die!"

Ellic decided to use his power because Junhyuk had blocked his previous attacks. He lifted his hammer, drawing energy around it. He wanted to scorch the earth within the range of his final and best attack.

He slammed his hammer, and hammers fell from the sky like rain and much like Vera’s meteors. Junhyuk teleported.

Boom, boom, boom!

Junhyuk sighed, relieved, and moved toward Ellic. Ellic had used his best attack, and by doing it, he had exposed a weak spot. Junhyuk took advantage of that to attack with his swords.

Thuck, thuck, thuck!

Ellic clenched his jaw as he was hit three times. Junhyuk was moving like a rat. He attacked quickly and withdrew just as quickly.

The situation was getting dangerous for Ellic. He wanted to end it, so he rushed. Junhyuk was well within his range, and there seemed to be no way to escape, but he still had one more spatial relocation. So, he teleported, and Ellic laughed at him.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha! Soon, you will die by my hand."

The force field and both spatial relocations were used up, and Ellic seized the opportunity to approach Junhyuk, who swallowed dry.

He did his best. He did everything he could do.

"Ahh..." Junhyuk sighed deeply and grabbed his swords. He would fight until the end, and Ellic scoffed at him.

"If you died easily, I would go crazy!"

Ellic swung his hammer. His basic attack wouldn’t work, so he slammed it on the ground.

Boom!

Junhyuk could’ve escaped the basic attack with his superior attack and movement speeds, but the hero’s power was a different story. Shockwaves traveled through Junhyuk’s body, causing damage to his internal organs.

"Ugh!"

If it were a direct attack, he would’ve been killed, but instead, he staggered, and Ellic swung his hammer again.

Ellic didn’t want to use his power a second time because Junhyuk was wounded and couldn’t escape.

Junhyuk barely lifted his swords.

Clang!

He didn’t move away, taking in all of the shock. He was even more hurt, staggering again, while Ellic laughed aloud.

"Ha-ha-ha! That’s right! You’ve got nothing left!"

Ellic’s hammer dropped again, and Junhyuk lifted his sword while Ellic continued to slam the hammer down on him.

Clang, clang, clang!

"That’s right! Block! Block it till the end!"

With every attack, Junhyuk felt like his arms were being torn apart. If he gave up, Ellic would smash his head wide open, but he hadn’t given up yet. He couldn’t kill Ellic with his attack, but he could deliver a blow to his weak spot, which would keep him from chasing after Sarang.

He looked for an opportunity to strike between Ellic’s blows.

"Big brother!"

Junhyuk froze. That stupid girl had come back after he had told her to run.

"I told you to run away!"

Ellic smiles and turned to look at her.

"You didn’t have to come back. I enjoy hunting my prey."

Sarang extended her staff and shouted:

"I know what I’m doing! Shut up and take this!"

Sarang’s staff fired an electric blast, and Ellic was paralyzed. Junhyuk got up. He felt like his body had been pummeled, but now he had a great opportunity, so he focused on one place, Ellic’s neck.

Junhyuk swung at Ellic’s gorget, a steel collar protecting his throat. He dented it, and kept swinging at it. When he finally broke some of it, Ellic started moving again.

Ellic had not been paralyzed for long, and Junhyuk was not a hero, so he couldn’t kill Ellic within that short of a period.

Ellic swung his hammer, and Junhyuk rolled on the ground to avoid it. Ellic swung too rashly, and he was able to escape.

Junhyuk was getting up when Ellic swung his hammer again. It was not an attack that Junhyuk could block. He was completely out of position to do it.

.

Instead, Junhyuk lunged forward. He would get hit, and he would probably die, but he also had to kill Ellic to save Sarang. So, he chose to counter attack. He ignored the hammer and aimed for Ellic’s neck.

That’s when another electric blast flew by. Ellic was paralyzed again, and the Blood Rune Sword went straight into his neck.

"Ugh!"

Ellic screamed, and Junhyuk pushed the sword deeper. Ellic’s eyes shot open, and Junhyuk whispered in his ear:

"Like I said, give me the set item."

After that, he twisted the sword in Ellic’s neck.
