The heroes were attempting to kill the archers and destroy the watchtower while the minions acted as targets for the arrows. It would've been nice to have Diane, but she wasn't present, so Vera launched fire spears instead.

Halo was attacking the watchtower with his minions when a protective force field showed up around it. When they broke the force field, the watchtower would be destroyed.

It was a good idea to kill the archers first if there was a way, but, if there was no other way, they had to destroy protective force field. The watchtower would crumble, and the archers would be crushed.

Junhyuk turned and looked at Artlan. He was pulling out the arrows from his back. It looked painful, but he was devoid of expression.

Artlan pulled out all of the arrows, and took out a potion and drank it. Potions did not fully work on heroes and, when they did, they only helped with small wounds, but, this time, it worked well enough to stop the bleeding and to heal him.

Artlan walked to Junhyuk and looked over his wounds. His shoulder, ribs and shin were penetrated by arrows. Artlan sat in front of him and said:

"I will pull them out."

"Yes, please."

He didn't dare pull the arrows out himself. Artlan did not hesitate and pulled one out. Junhyuk clenched his teeth down hard and tried not to scream.

It started to bleed, but Artlan's expression didn't change, and he pulled out the two remaining arrows. When he pulled out the arrow that had gone through Junhyuk's ribs, Junhyuk started bleeding profusely.

Artlan put his hand on the wound and said:

"Drink a potion."

Junhyuk pulled out a potion and hesitated. He was dying, yet it tasted awful. He had a new respect for Artlan who drank it without changing his expression.

Junhyuk drank the potion, and many expressions flashed across his face. It tasted like poison, but its effectiveness was certain.

Artlan lifted his hand from the wound, and it no longer bled. Junhyuk moved and got up slowly. Artlan looked at the watchtower and said:

"Why did you provoke Minota?"

Junhyuk thought it over and sighed.

"He made me angry."

Minota cursed him and said that even if he was killed, he would kill Junhyuk. Junhyuk didn't regret what he said to Minota. Artlan grabbed him by the shoulder and said:

"In this battle, concentrate on surviving."

"OK."

He could use his force field on a hero at a decisive moment, but, in this battle, every enemy hero would try to kill him.

If he wanted to survive, he had to save the force field for himself.

He would use spatial relocation and the force field on himself and survive.

The watchtower crumbled, and Artlan looked at Halo.

"Do you want to move with me?"

Halo nodded. They'd destroyed the watchtower, so they had some time. They would kill the enemy heroes in the meantime.

Halo joined them, and Junhyuk knew having Halo increased his survival rate. His side moved along with four heroes.

They could win.

The group gathered the minions. The minions had arrows stuck to their shields, and there were thirty-four minions left.

"We move."

Artlan spoke, and everyone walked. The minions following them saw Junhyuk and whispered among themselves. They were confused by Junhyuk and mistook him for a hero, but Junhyuk had no intention to explain it to them. He just walked next to Sarang.

Sarang was worried about Junhyuk because he had almost been killed by arrows, but reminded herself of his promise that they would return together. He drank the potion, and his wounds healed. It looked as though he would keep his promise.

It looked like the enemy heroes were targeting Junhyuk. She wanted to help him out, so she wanted to become a novice. She practiced what Vera had taught her diligently.

While she walked next to Junhyuk, she made an energy orb on her hand, dispersed it and repeated the process.

They had walked for a while and reached the end of the forest. Artlan's face turned rigid.

"They were attacked?!"

The situation looked bad from where they were standing. Ellic and Warren were attacking the watchtower with another hero, wearing a mask and a black cloak, whom they had never seen before.

Junhyuk asked:

"Who is that person?"

"Grangsha is no longer qualified to be here, and that's the replacement."

"A new hero..."

"I don't know what kind of power that person has."

Artlan looked at Halo.

"We should attack before we lose our watchtower."

Halo nodded, and Artlan looked at Vera.

"We will draw their attention. Send in a very big one."

"OK. Take the minions with you."

Artlan nodded and looked at Junhyuk.

"We are not sure what they have, so stay here and protect Vera."

"Is that OK with you?"

Artlan laughed a little.

"I'm OK. After Vera uses her magic, they will concentrate their attacks here, so you should protect her."

Junhyuk had the force field to protect Vera. It was a relief to know he could get inside the force field with her.

He nodded, and Artlan signaled to advance.

"I will get going."

The protective force field around the watchtower wouldn't last long. They had to hurry.

Artlan ran, and Ellic and Warren looked at him. They saw Artlan with some minions, and Ellic told Warren:

"I will take care of him. You go to the watchtower."

However, Warren shook his head.

"There is one more."

Behind Artlan, Halo also ran toward them. Artlan got close enough to Ellic and jumped in the air. Ellic held fast to his hammer.

"Skia, you take the watchtower."

The hero wrapped in black clothing nodded and began hitting the force field around the watchtower.

Clang!

Ellic's hammer parried Artlan's saber. Halo attacked Warren with his sword in a flash of light. Both of them mounted their own attacks.

Ellic lifted his hammer high and slammed it.

Boom!

A chain of concentric, circular shockwaves launched against Artlan, but he blocked them with his saber. Ellic was aiming for Artlan when the archers on watchtower hit him on his back.

It would take longer for the watchtower to be destroyed, and it wasn't easy to fight Artlan while being attacked by archers. Ellic held his hammer close to his body and rushed toward Artlan.

Ellic meant to fight him outside of the archers' range.

Artlan dodged Ellic's rush and ran toward Skia. Ellic was expecting Artlan to fight him, but instead he ran toward Skia. Ellic shouted:

"Artlan!"

There wasn't much time. Ellic was thinking he would destroy the watchtower and then take out the two heroes, so he followed Artlan.

Artlan did not know what kind of power Skia had, so he attacked with his saber. Skia turned to face Artlan.

Skia saw Artlan first, then Ellic running behind him. If Skia fought Artlan, Ellic would take care of the watchtower.

Skia parried Artlan's saber with a dagger.

Clang!

Skia frowned and looked at Artlan. Artlan's strength was beyond imagination. Artlan pushed and greeted Skia.

"I'm Artlan."

"I'm Skia."

Skia tried to attack, but Artlan used his other saber. Skia was also holding two daggers and blocked both sabers.

"Hm."

Artlan looked very interested and began to attack continuously. Skia parried with the daggers, but was pushed back. Artlan looked at Skia and laughed.

"You don't counterattack?"

The allied heroes being attacked gave the watchtower archers magical power. So, Skia only parried and didn't counter.

Artlan felt Ellic coming from behind and jumped up. He moved to where Halo and Warren were fighting.

"Warren!"

Warren looked back, but Artlan was already swinging his saber. Warren howled aloud:

"Hoowwl!"

Warren's howl froze Halo and Artlan. Ellic seized the opportunity and attacked the tower.

Clang!

Ellic looked at Artlan and scoffed.

"Sorry, but this is our victory!"

Ellic dropped his hammer on the watchtower. The force field around the watchtower changed color and disappeared, and the watchtower crumbled. The archers were crushed, and Ellic laughed out loud.

They had Warren, Ellic and Skia.

"Die!"

Ellic and Skia ran toward Artlan. Artlan stood next to Halo and smiled. Ellic realized what was happening when meteors dropped from the sky.

"Vera!"

They had thought that only two heroes had come to fight for the watchtower, but Vera had been secretly preparing her attack.

There was no room for escape.

Boom, boom, boom!

Black flamed meteors hit them hard, sounding loud explosions. It was her most destructive power, and they were seriously wounded. The meteors attacked them directly. There was a very low chance they would survive.

It was too bad the allies had lost a watchtower, but they could still win. Artlan grabbed his saber, and Ellic shouted:

"Kill Vera in the forest!"

At that, Skia ran toward the forest. Artlan tried to intercept Skia, but Skia was too fast for him.

Artlan lost Skia, but had confidence in Vera and Junhyuk. Both of them could deal with Skia.

Meanwhile, he would kill Ellic and Warren.

Artlan moved toward Warren, and Warren's eyes turned red. Warren was already healing, and Artlan shouted:

"Kill Ellic first!"

Halo aimed his sword at Ellic, and Ellic scoffed.

"You must think I'm a joke."

Ellic lifted his hammer. Ellic's hammer gathered a strong energy around it.

--

Skia discarded the black cloak and ran toward Vera. She laughed and created a firewall. The black flames around Skia meant that Skia had been wounded by the meteors. Vera wouldn't be an easy opponent.

Skia jumped above the firewall and moved quickly.

Vera threw a fire orb at Skia.

Boom!

Skia looked about to be hit by the fire orb but vanished. It did not look like the fire orb killed Skia.

Vera quickly made a fire spear when Skia rose from Vera's shadow and swung a dagger.

Slash!

Vera was slashed on her back and was bleeding heavily. Vera threw her fire spears, and Skia blocked them with daggers.

Boom!

Skia stepped back and launched an attack on Vera. She wasn't prepared. Skia's dagger aimed for Vera's neck.

Then, an ivory-colored light covered Vera.

Clunk!

The dagger bounced off. This was not Vera's power. Skia heard there was a novice with a power like that, so Skia looked for Junhyuk. He moved inside the force field.

Skia realizes that Junhyuk was the novice Skia had heard about.

"You! We have to kill you for sure!"

Skia shouted, and Junhyuk collected his breath. They had to think Junhyuk was a joke if they were all trying to kill him, and that made him angry.

"I'm not going to die for you!"
