    Dragon’s Valley, the ce where the giant dragon was located.


    He was going up against the dragon again, and the dragon was emanating its superior aura. Junhyuk quickly scoped out his surroundings, but didn’t see any enemies.


    Arn looked around and said, “Take fifty minions and block the entrance to the valley.”


    The minions blocked the entrance, and Arn pulled out a small marble from his pouch.


    “Attack!”


    The rest of the minions attacked the dragon. The dragon lifted its head, saw the minions running toward it and stood up slowly. Once up, it swung its tail, and the minions running toward it were swept by the tail and flew into a wall, crushed.


    Junhyuk looked around.


    “They might attack us from behind.”


    “They are heading this way. We have to kill the dragon first. Go all out,” Arn said and looked at Vera. “Prepare your meteors.”


    “Sure.”


    Vera stepped forward and started casting her magic while Diane also readied her attack. They would use their ultimates and kill the dragon as soon as possible. If their enemies found out, they wouldn’t be able to do anything.


    Halo started getting Rain from Above ready, and Arn worked on the Saber Draw. Junhyuk stood at the center, staring at the dragon. He could help anyone at anytime.


    The dragon looked far superior. Would my power work on it? He kept thinking about it until the heroes were done preparing.


    All of the minions had died, and the dragon looked in their direction. Vera raised her staff forward, and meteors crashed down from the sky on top of the dragon’s head.


    Boom, boom, boom!


    The dragon writhed in pain, and Halo’s Rain from Above hit it next. The dragon tried to move its head out of the way, but it failed to escape the strike. Rain from Above grazed its head, and pierced through the dragon’s scales, making it bleed profusely.


    Diane’s arrow whizzed through the air and hit the dragon’s eye.


    Rrrooaaar!


    The dragon roared in pain and spun its body around, swinging its tail. When the tail was sweeping the ground, Nudra jumped. He went very high up in sky and dropkicked the dragon’s head.


    Boom!


    The dragon was in the middle of turning and lost its bnce. Then, Arn, who had been watching the dragon, shouted out, “Junhyuk!”


    Junhyuk took a hold of Arn and teleported. They appeared in front of the dragon’s chest, the range of one teleportation.


    The dragon opened its mouth, and Arn drew his saber. Arn’s saber came out in a natural circr sh, and the dragon’s chest opened up and started bleeding heavily. Junhyuk teleported again, and the dragon bit down hard on the ce where they had been standing, but there was nothing left.


    “OK. Let’s begin our hunt,” Arn said.


    Arn and Halo dashed together. They ran, and the dragon lifted its head up high. Its neck started turning red, and Junhyuk shouted, “Firebreath!”


    “Don’t worry about us. Launch your force field!”


    Junhyuk ran left and right and stood in the center of the group. Soon, the dragon’s breath poured out of its mouth.


    Roooaaar!


    The dragon vomited a gigantic me that melted the ground, but Junhyuk hadunched his force field in time. It withstood the dragon’s mes, but it had a time limit. Within those ten seconds, they had to close the dragon’s mouth. If not, they would burned to death.


    Vera cast a firewall under the dragon’s feet; Diane fired a series of arrows, and Sarang cast lightning bolts. They would inflict enough damage to kill the dragon soon, and Junhyuk looked at his sword. He wanted to know how powerful he really was.


    He nced at the dragon’s neck and targeted it. The Spatial sh covered the distance between them and left an opening on the dragon’s neck.


    sh!


    mes starteding out of the opening. The dragon’s firebreath relied on the dragon’s neck. With its neck cut, and mes pouring out of the opening, the breath quickly died down.


    Vera smiled and said, “It sure deals some damage.”


    Vera cast a fire spear at the opening, and Diane also focused her arrows on the wound. The dragon tried to block the attack with its arms, but they were too much for it, so it stopped its breath altogether.


    Meanwhile, Halo and Arn moved around the dragon, continuing their attacks. Without using their powers, they attacked, and the dragon’s scales were torn here and there, leaving each wound bleeding heavily. They were stronger than before, and they would kill the dragon before their enemies arrived.


    —


    At the mountain perch overlooking the valley, five heroes and a champion hid themselves. They were smiling as they watched the allies fight the dragon.


    “We will return the favor the same way they stole it from us.”


    Doctor T was running his fingers through his chin and looking out at them. The allies were very strong. If this continued, they would kill the dragon at any moment. The force field seemed like a cheat. It was that strong, and the allies weren’t getting hurt at all.


    “Who will go?”


    They had to deliver the deathblow and steal the kill on the dragon. Ki, who had been listening, said, “Let’s all go. If not, we’ll lose the dragon.”


    Doctor T smiled.


    “OK. Our target is that champion.”


    He had heard about Junhyuk, and everyone agreed. He was too dangerous and he had to die. If he survived that round, he would be too powerful.


    Doctor T was staring at the dragon and said, “Let’s begin.”


    “Yes!”


    The doctor jumped off first, and the rest followed. As hended, he shot his spider webs in all directions. The webs had tensile strength, and the rest of the group used them tond safely.


    However, some of the allies saw them and shouted about the enemy presence, but the rest of the heroes were in no condition to pay attention to them.


    Doctor T fired his missiles, and Ki and Regina fired their pistols, but the dragon didn’t die. As the dragon turned to look, Doctor T shouted, “Bater!”


    Bater stopped running and extended his arms forward.


    —


    The dragon was almost dead when the enemy heroes jumped down from the top of the cliff.


    “It’s the enemy!” Junhyuk shouted quickly.


    The allied heroes heard him, but they couldn’t do anything. Their job was to finish the dragon off, and losing the buff would spell their own deaths.


    The enemies kept their distance, and the allies had the greater probability of the killing dragon. There were five of them surrounding it.


    Then, Bater raised his arms. It was his rocket punch. If he fired, the dragon would die. No one knew how much health the dragon still had, but the rocket punch would certainly do the job.


    Junhyuk gritted his teeth. His cooldown had ended, but he waited. Bater’s rocket punch went toward the dragon, and even the other enemy heroes started attacking the dragon, but just before the rocket punch hit it, Junhyuk used his Spatial sh.


    If the Spatial sh didn’t kill the dragon, Bater would get the buff. Junhyuk was gambling a bit when swung his sword.


    [You’ve killed the dragon Kaloyan. For the next two hours, you get a 30 percent increase to health regeneration rate, a 30 percent increase to movement speed, a 30 percent increase to attack speed, a 30 percent increase to defense, and when you attack, you will inflict an additional one hundred damage on top of your normal damage. If you die within two hours, you will lose yours buff to your opponent.]


    Five rings of different colors surround their bodies, and Junhyuk sighed, relieved. Had he failed, they would have lost the buff.


    The allies had the buff, and they only had minor injuries. It was dangerous to attack the dragon, but this time, they had used their ultimates from the get-go. They had blocked the dragon’s firebreath once and killed it.


    They had used the force field to block the firebreath, butter, the dragon’s tail swipe injured Halo. However, Sarang had used her healing power him. They weren’t at full health, but the dragon’s buff gave them a 30 percent increase to health regeneration. Soon, they would all be healed.


    However, the allies didn’t have the advantage yet. The heroes had all used their ultimates while, on the enemies’ side, only Bater had used his.


    After they took the buff, the enemies gathered together. Vera had already used Meteor Shower, so the enemies had some ck and time to attack.


    Jean Clo extended arms.


    “Too bad. We could have killed him.”


    Doctor T extended his hand, and a small spider crawled up on it.


    “That champion killed the dragon,” he said to the spider.


    Junhyuk wanted to say that he was still an expert, and experts only had two lives. The enemies were all focused on him just like Arn had said. They wanted to kill him even if they had to make sacrifices to do it.


    Arn and Halo stood in front of Junhyuk. The enemies would sacrifice themselves to kill him, but the allies would do the same to keep him alive. Junhyuk smiled at the situation, and Arn sized the enemies up.


    “What shall we do?”


    “There is no other way. We’ll fight them normally.”


    A regr brawl did not favor the allies, but they had used all of their ultimates, and there was no other way. They had to just trust the dragon’s buff and bring home the victory.


    Junhyuk stared at the enemies.


    “What should I do?”


    Vera smiled at him.


    “What should you do? We’ll make a wall, and you just run.”


    “What?!”


    “Stay alive.”


    Vera wasn’tughing, and Junhyuk nodded slowly. The heroes were willing to die for him.


    That someone was willing to die for him made his heart swell. He wanted the heroes to stay alive, but he wanted to live as well.


    Junhyuk raised his sword.


    “Let’s begin.”


    “OK.”


    The enemies had held a meeting of their own, and Jean Clo and Bater stepped forward. When they got closer, they would rush, so Arn and Halo also stepped forward.


    They approached each other, but the enemies’ attack came from somewhere unexpected. Adolphe had been following Jean Clo and Bater, hidden behind them, and fired two blue energy boomerangs that tied Halo and Arn up. Then, Jean Clo and Bater rushed.


    They picked up speed like they were going to pass straight by Arn and Halo. So, Nudra quickly stepped forward and front-kicked Jean Clo, but Bater kept going.


    The allies had a n of their own. Bater’s rushing path was now blocked by a firewall.


    Boom!


    As Bater rushed through it, a fire spear mmed against him. He covered his face with his hands, and an arrow hit his stomach.


    Boom!


    Bater was pushed back by the explosive arrow. Someone dashed toward Arn and Halo. Taking advantage of her speed, Regina approached and pulled out her pistol. She was within range.


    Vera cast another firewall. It wasn’t intended to damage her, but to block her vision instead, but Regina didn’t hesitate and fired at Junhyuk.


    Bang!


    The bullets went through the firewall, but Junhyuk had already moved. When Vera cast the firewall, he retreated.


    Suddenly, a spider web wrapped around Junhyuk, Doctor T’s spider web.
