Skia smiled and tapped on the force field with one of the daggers.

"I heard it lasts ten seconds. When it's over, you'll be dead," Skia declared.

Vera's eyes widened, and she made a fire spear:

"Ten seconds? You'll be dead in five!"

Vera threw her fire spear, and Skia blocked it with the daggers.

Boom!

Skia was pushed back by the force of the spear, and, where Skia stood, there rose a firewall. The firewall started underneath Skia's feet, and soon, Skia was engulfed in flames.

Skia ran toward Vera again and understood the power of the force field. Magicians usually had strong attack power and relied on that power when fighting. Magicians who were heroes needed to be eradicated.

Such a magician now had a ten-second force field.

It had about five seconds left, but she was still dangerous. However, Skia was confident that the five seconds would pass without incident.

Skia's body disappeared gradually.

Vera looked left and right, searching for Skia, and said:

"You don't know anything because you just got to our level."

Vera made a fire orb behind her back and a fire spear on her head. Junhyuk couldn't understand what she was doing, but she made certain there was a firewall on her shadow.

The force field disappeared, and Skia jumped out of Vera's shadow. Skia was again engulfed by the flames from the firewall.

"Argh!"

Boom!

That's when a fire orb exploded, and, when Skia staggered backward, Vera turned and threw the fire spear.

Boom!

"Argh!"

Skia had attacked after being hit by meteors and, now, was hit by a fire orb and a fire spear. Skia no longer resisted and started disappearing.

Vera looked at Skia and laughed.

"All I needed was five seconds!"

Skia looked at Vera and turned to look at Junhyuk. If it weren't for the force field, Skia would have killed Vera the first time Skia attacked. Skia realized that Junhyuk needed to be liquidated first.

Skia boasted, but was now dying, and Junhyuk laughed at Skia. Vera told Junhyuk:

"Next time, be more careful."

Junhyuk turned, and Vera walked to Artlan, saying:

"Skia has the power to seep into the opponent's shadow and attack from behind. Skia delivers fatal blows. If it weren't for your force field, I would've been killed."

Junhyuk looked at the spot where Skia had been standing. Skia was an assassin hero. If Skia could kill Vera, Skia could kill him in one blow.

Junhyuk thought about how to avoid Skia the next time they met. He had seen Skia hiding in the shadow for five seconds, and that meant Skia could pop up at any moment. Skia was the worst opponent.

"I still won't die," Junhyuk spoke to himself and looked at Vera.

Ellic and Warren had both been hit by the meteors, but Warren was already completely healed.

The fight was neck-and-neck between Halo and Warren, but Artlan was winning against Ellic. Ellic was covered in wounds, and Junhyuk watched how Artlan used his sabers.

Dual swords were different from dual sabers. Sabers were used for slashing, but Junhyuk had learned about blocking and parrying, and Artlan's muscles were astoundingly developed. Every time he swung his sabers, Junhyuk could see Artlan's muscles moving.

Ellic was also a hero, but he used a heavy hammer, yet Artlan was fighting easily against him. Artlan was avoiding the enemy's blows and mounting his own counterattacks.

Vera joined the battle and decided the outcome. She threw a fire spear at Ellic and a fire orb at Warren.

Ellic blocked it with his hammer, but Artlan seized the moment to slice Ellic's legs. Ellic fell, and Artlan slashed the fallen Ellic's neck.

Meanwhile, Warren began trying to escape. On his four paws, his speed was incredible. Soon, there was a firewall in front of him, blocking him from escaping further.

Warren tried to jump over, but Halo attacked in a flash of light. Halo ran forty feet and swung his sword to cut Warren's back.

"Hooowl!"

He howled, but it was the end of the escape. Artlan was already on Warren and slashed Warren's back. Warren ground his teeth and swung his arms, but Artlan blocked it with his sabers to save more time.

Vera threw another fire orb, and Junhyuk sighed, relieved. This was a victory.

Artlan picked up the items left by the enemy heroes.

"You did well."

Vera spoke curtly:

"Skia is so stupid, but Skia specializes in assassination. Skia can kill by seeping into one's shadow."

"Grangsha was an easier opponent."

"However, Grangsha had a high level of defensive power."

Grangsha could block magic using his shield. Comparing Skia to Grangsha, Skia had no defensive power.

Artlan handed Halo the items dropped by Warren and said:

"What do you want to do? Wait for Nudra or turn back?"

Halo looked east, and Artlan said:

"OK. Let's go help Diane."

Junhyuk attacked the remaining enemy minions. When the watchtower fell, the enemy minions attacked the allied minions. The allied minions who accompanied Artlan were reduced to twenty-five.

Behind the twenty-five remaining minions, Sarang was throwing her energy orbs. Sarang was very accurate and, while Junhyuk ran to her, she killed three enemy minions.

The enemy minions were running toward her. Junhyuk ran toward them and used the sword he had just purchased, and his eyes widened.

He could cut through an enemy minion's armor like paper. His new longsword was no match for minions.

He could see why Artlan had persuaded him to save 10,000G to buy new equipment.

He killed three minions in two breaths. The first attack was a success, and he swung his longsword left and right, slicing two other necks.

Junhyuk ran toward the remaining minions and took care of business. Twenty allied minions survived.

"Let's go help Diane."

They would move as a group, giving no opportunities to their enemies. Even so, the enemy might gather a larger number of troops.

Calculating the time for reincarnation for three dead enemy heroes, they had time to help out Diane.

With twenty minions, the group moved quickly. They went across the forest and met with Diane, who happened to be a fine archer for the allies.

Diane was supposed to be facing Libya, but there were two of them pressuring her.

Minota and Libya were attacking, and Diane was next to the watchtower, using her bow.

"It's Minota. Let's go."

Minota had reincarnated and gone there as soon as possible. Artlan and Halo ran together, and Vera prepared her fire spear.

Libya was attacking Diane and saw Artlan and Halo running. She made an ice flower and sent it at them. The small petals of the ice flower covered both of them.

Artlan jumped past the cloud of petals covering him.

Libya dodged him, and Minota rushed.

Bang!

Minota rushed hard at Artlan, and Artlan bounced away. Minota turned around and saw Junhyuk standing behind Vera. He smiled, baring his sharp, shiny teeth.

"Ha-ha-ha! You came!"

Minota rushed toward Junhyuk, and Junhyuk ran to a spot behind Vera and murmured:

"Ellic is crazy, but that ox is crazy as well."

Vera laughed at him.

"Stay alive!"

She created a firewall, but Minota passed through it. He was engulfed in flames, but kept rushing toward Junhyuk, who was very scared.

Minota had an incredible build. He was so wild in his rush that Vera dodged him and threw her fire spears.

Junhyuk followed Vera around.

"You can't hide behind her!"

Minota ran toward him. Vera stepped in front of Junhyuk, and he made a force field around them.

Thunk!

The collision launched Vera and Junhyuk against a tree.

"Grr! That force field!"

Vera threw her fire spears, and Minota blocked them with his arms. Suddenly, he saw Halo heading toward him from behind and mooed:

"Woo, woo, woo!"

He kicked at Halo with his hind legs, and Halo blocked it with his sword, but was bounced back, and Minota used his doppelganger ability.

Vera was not capable of fighting both Minotas.

She made a fire orb, and Minota kicked the force field.

Bang!

The force field bounced away with them inside, and Minota smiled:

"You are being pushed, unable to use your magic."

Junhyuk regretted making the force field for the two of them. He should have made himself bait, and used the force field on Vera. Vera threw her fire orb, hitting one Minota, while the other Minota kicked the force field again.

Junhyuk felt the ten seconds would go by quickly.

Halo launched another attack, but Libya stood in front of him.

Thump!

Libya had escaped from Artlan and decided to attack Halo. She stomped once and icy circles spread on the ground. Junhyuk was inside the force field, but when the force field disappeared he would feel the ice under his feet.

That ice slowed people down. Junhyuk had to escape, but it was all around the force field. Still, he could use spatial relocation.

Junhyuk was worrying when Vera shouted:

"The force field is disappearing. Step on me and run!"

Junhyuk could jump, but he still couldn't escape the ice. He decided to run first, then use spatial relocation.

He lowered his body, and she made a firewall in front of Minota to block his vision. Junhyuk stepped on Vera's shoulder and jumped.

He jumped as far as he could, but still landed where there was ice. His armor began to freeze, and his body froze as well.

Minota was running toward him.

Junhyuk was about to move when Diane shouted at him:

"Stay where you are!"

Suddenly, an arrow hit the center of Minota's forehead. Diane killed a Minota instantly, but the other one was running toward Junhyuk.

Junhyuk moved by spatial relocation.

Bang!

A tree broke, and Minota lifted his head. Junhyuk also saw Libya in midair. Libya looked beautiful as she turned and fluttered her wings, but Junhyuk cursed at her.

Libya's eyes met Junhyuk's, and he was scared stiff. She turned in the air and flew toward him.
