While Abel kept shuffling his cards, Junhyuk ran through Abel’s powers in his head. The hero could create an illusion of himself, but that didn’t worry Junhyuk due to his spatial sense. Abel could taunt. There was an 80 percent chance that Abel could inflict some debuff his opponent, but there was a 20 percent chance that he could buff his opponent. Abel’s ultimate allowed him to teleport to anywhere on the map where his allies were at random.

The last power was similar to Aktur’s, but the rest were crap. Abel wasn’t as powerful as the mummy hero, but he could still be dangerous. Even though Abel’s ultimate chose an ally at random, it wasn’t all that bad.

The truth was that Abel’s items weren’t great. Because Abel like to gamble, he had invested most of his gold on upgrading his cards. They were shining now, which meant that the hero must’ve succeeded on a significant number of upgrades. His attack stat must be really high, but his defense was probably still crap.

There was nothing to worry for Junhyuk. He would deliver the first strike and decide the issue with it. Junhyuk was a superior hero when it came to first strikes.

Junhyuk stretched Aksha’s Longsword. With it at the tenth upgrade, the sword’s damage had become outstanding. Abel watched him and smirked, triggering his illusion.

Aware of the Spatial Slash, Abel created a copy of himself, but Junhyuk simply smiled at the hero.

The illusion might work on others, but Junhyuk was different. He used his Spatial Slash on the Abel on the left, and the slash pierced through the hero’s neck.

“Ugh!”

It was a critical hit, and Abel started fading.

“How’s that possible?! My items are better now!”

Junhyuk answered the disappearing hero, “My attack stat has increased by a greater margin than your items. You were never my equal to begin with.”

Abel was completely gone now, so Junhyuk turned to Gyulsean. She looked a bit scared, but she rushed forward. There was a cooldown to the Spatial Slash, so Gyulsean wanted to take that opportunity to fight.

Turning to Elise, Junhyuk said, “Get ready to use your ultimate.”

“Anytime.”

Junhyuk teleported toward the incoming hero, and as he did, Gyulsean shot at him. Junhyuk deflected the arrows with his sword and triggered a Spatial Collapse.

Craaaack!

His goal was to hold her in place with the Spatial Collapse and fire Elise’s ultimate at her. However, Gyulsean was a sniper, and for that reason, she was more focused on offense than defense.

The Spatial Collapse had struck Gyulsean’s heart, tearing it apart. Gyulsean disappeared, and Junhyuk smiled awkwardly at Elise.

“I thought she would survive.”

“You made too many upgrades.”

“I got my weapons to the tenth upgrade.”

“Your attacks are too powerful now.”

Enemies focused entirely on offense couldn’t survive Junhyuk’s powers now.

He contacted the others and said, “We came up against Abel and Gyulsean. Abel’s weapons seemed to have been upgraded, so be careful.”

Gongon shook his head and said, “It’ll take some time before we meet him.”

“Not really. Abel’s ultimate is similar to Aktur’s”

“Yeah? That’s annoying.”

Aktur was difficult because Aktur could appear in any enemy engagement to tip the scale against the allies, and his basic attacks dealt a lot of damage.

Abel’s cards were shining, which meant that his attack stat had to be crazy high as well. Abel could show up anytime.

Junhyuk knew that, which was why he contacted the allies. The enemies were weaker than them because their items were weaker than the allies’. But, if they managed to focus their attacks on a single hero, things could turn problematic.

Junhyuk turned to Elise and said, “We’ll use the portal and my powers to push forward. I’ll support one side.”

“You mean you want to finish the battle now?”

Junhyuk nodded, and Elise smiled.

“OK. What should I do?”

“I’ll join Gongon, and you join Sarang. If you encounter any problems on the way, just retreat.”

“Sure.”

To win, the allies would push from the middle after taking the side towers. Junhyuk occupied the buff tower and took the portal, heading off to join Gongon. He teleported as much as he could to get there quicker.

He was able to catch up to the hatchling before Gongon even reached the tower. Gongon smirked at him and asked, “You wanted to see me that bad?”

“It’s just in case Abel comes this way. Elise headed off to the right.”

“We are balanced now.”

Sarang and Layla were more powerful than Gongon and Helen, which was why he had sent Elise there. Anywhere the enemies showed up, the allies would have a balanced team to deal with them.

Gongon reached the watchtower, but he couldn’t see any enemies.

The hatchling smiled and said, “I want to destroy it.”

“If an enemy appears, you’ll be right under the archers.”

“Fine. If we’ll come under attack, the minions should destroy it.” Looking back, Gongon shouted, “Attack!”

The allies attacked the watchtower. The archers on top of it started shooting down at the minions, but they blocked the arrows with their shields and closed in. At that point, the allies saw enemies running toward them.

Junhyuk had met Abel and Gyulsean, so he thought he would know the other heroes in their team, but he was wrong. The hero running toward them was an ice golem. The golem was four meters tall, but it did not look very dangerous. However, since it was a hero, it would have powers.

Junhyuk asked Gongon, “What do we do now?”

“I’ll fight first. I don’t want you to kill that golem,” Gongon said and ran toward the hero.

Gongon wanted to keep the golem far from the watchtower. Junhyuk followed the hatchling, who enlarged on the way.

The two closed in, and Gongon tried to headbutt the golem, stomping the ground and launching himself forward. The ice golem also launched itself toward Gongon with a jump.

Boom!

The two clashed, and the ice golem was thrown back, while Gongon rose into the sky. The ice golem’s rush launched the enemy into the air. On top of that, the golem’s defense was impressive. The golem had only lost 15 percent of its health with the headbutt.

Its attack stat was also fairly high because Gongon lost 12 percent of his health. Gongon had a significant amount of defense, but he was still launched up.

Junhyuk thought about getting items for Elise to make her a tanks. She was fully decked in the highly defensive Red Dragon set, but she had to increase her defense even more.

Gongon used his firebreath, and the ice golem punched at him. Ice spears rose from the ground and flew toward Gongon, who kept on breathing fire. The spears passed through the fire, hitting Gongon and launching him up again.

It was a shocking thing to see.

The ice golem extended its fists, and the surrounding air froze around them, making his fists bigger than before.

The golem punched Gongon, who got sent up into the air again, and then punched him again. It all seemed flawless.

Boom!

Gongon went rolling across the ground.

“What the hell?!”

Gongon had fire powers, and the golem had ice powers. The fight between the two was very interesting for Junhyuk. The ice golem was probably the team’s ace, and it had high attack and defense.

After being attacked three times, Gongon lost 50 percent of his health. The massive ice fists had impressive damaging power.

Junhyuk was thinking about stepping in when Gongon triggered his ultimate and transformed into a dragon. Keeping his distance away from the golem, Gongon spewed fireballs.

The ice golem hadn’t shown his ultimate yet, and suddenly, a deck of cards appeared in front of the golem. The deck flew into the air, and Junhyuk teleported closer to the fight.

He used his Spatial Slash without hesitation. The attack hit, but Junhyuk’s eyes widened. Abel was there, smiling at him.

“After teleporting, I’m invincible for three seconds.”

“Shit!”

Junhyuk clicked his tongue and teleported closer to Abel, who was shuffling his cards.

“I told you that I’m invincible for three seconds. Take this!”

Abel threw a card at him, and because Junhyuk wanted to know the extent of Abel’s attack, he stood his ground.

Thunk!

“Ugh!”

Junhyuk retreated immediately. The damage had gone beyond his expectations. Considering his defense, it should not have happened that way. Junhyuk lost 30 percent of his health.

He stared at Abel, who smirked and said, “I got lucky! The 30 percent damage effect.”

Junhyuk realized then that he had been attacked with a random effect. His items had been upgraded seven times, and he had endured, but Abel did not have any piercing buffs.

Looking at Abel shuffling his cards, he said, “Abel, the three seconds have passed.”

The hero stared at him, and Junhyuk used his Spatial Collapse. As Abel’s heart was being torn apart, the hero screamed.

“Aaaarrrgh!”

Abel was not a balanced hero. He had only focused on his attack, so now he was disappearing. Looking at him, Junhyuk thought about how important it was to achieve balance.
