Chapter 504: Invitation 2

The heroes knew Junhyuk and Artlan were about to spar, so they moved the stone chairs to the side. They moved the rest of the drinks and food out of the way as well and started taking bets.

Most heroes bet on Artlan. Gongon, Sarang and Elise were the only ones to bet on Junhyuk.

Junhyuk stared coldly at Layla. He had expected her to bet on him since she was on his team, but Layla was betting on Artlan.

Artlan stretched his shoulders and turned to Junhyuk.

“Are you ready?”

“I am.”

Artlan pulled out his sabers and aimed them at Junhyuk. He started circling Junhyuk, so Junhyuk leapt forward and dashed toward the hero.

He knew Artlan was strong, so he decided to go all out from the start. Junhyuk accelerated and slashed at the hero.

Artlan had guessed that Junhyuk would accelerate and swung his saber to block Junhyuk’s strike. Within him, Junhyuk was cheering loudly.

Aksha’s Longsword could go over the saber if blocked. The sword bent softly and snaked toward Artlan. The hero’s eyes widened a bit, but he pushed the saber out of the way and closed in on Junhyuk.

Junhyuk took a step back and slashed with Dentra’s Magic Sword.

Artlan blocked again, but this time, when Artlan blocked, Dentra’s Magic Sword released a wind blade aimed at the hero.

Junhyuk had been training with Dentra’s Magic Sword, so he could now easily release wind blades.

Artlan accelerated then, and Junhyuk’s eyes widened. He had lost track of Artlan in that instant.

Boom!

Suddenly, his chest radiated with pain. Junhyuk was launched back, rolling across the ground. The strike had been shockingly strong.

When Junhyuk looked up, he saw that Artlan had attacked with his left shoulder. The hero repositioned himself and started juggling his sabers.

“Jack of all trades. Master of none.”

Junhyuk got angry. He had studied two legendary sword techniques, but he was still being looked down on by Artlan.

“Then, how about this?!”

Junhyuk distanced himself so that Aksha’s Longsword could really work. Nine images of the sword appeared, and they all released mana blades.

Within a certain rage, mana blades were devastating, but Artlan simply smiled.

Though Junhyuk had released nine attacks, Artlan’s sabers danced lightly to meet them.

Slash, slash, slash!

Junhyuk watched with disappointment as each mana blade was slashed. Artlan closed in and slashed at him.

The sabers were aimed at Junhyuk’s shoulder, but he blocked them with his swords.

Clang!

The sabers slid down his swords and tried to slice Junhyuk’s fingers, so Junhyuk teleported immediately. He was now on the opposite side of the room, and Artlan smiled at that.

“Are you running away already?”

He refocused. Junhyuk had forgotten just how strong Artlan was. He was fired up for the duel now. Artlan wouldn’t die from a Spatial Slash. Junhyuk gripped both of his swords tightly and said, “Be careful.”

Artlan laughed and ran toward him. Junhyuk was sure then that Artlan could accelerate without turning it off. Junhyuk couldn’t keep track of the hero, so it would be hard to use the Spatial Slash even with his spatial sense.

Junhyuk tried taking advantage of the place. The training facility was small, and because he couldn’t keep track of Artlan, he triggered a Spatial Collapse.

Junhyuk was already using his best move, but he was thinking that, because the place was small, Artlan would have to get hit by it.

When the Spatial Collapse triggered, Artlan appeared again. Junhyuk moved to stand right in front of the hero, and laughing, he said, “It’s my win.”

Junhyuk used his Spatial Slash. He thought he had won, but Artlan’s muscles grew, and the hero simply ignored the suction of the collapse, moving forward.

The Spatial Slash struck empty space. Artlan had dodged his attack, and after that, he launched a saber toward Junhyuk. Junhyuk knew that was one of Artlan’s powers, so he immediately dodged the attack.

Even so, Artlan appeared right in front of him and swung his other saber. Junhyuk blocked the attack and teleported away, but Artlan jumped toward him. Artlan’s jump was different from when it was used in the Dimensional Battlefield. It was much faster.

Artlan attacked Junhyuk without holding back.

Clang!

Junhyuk barely blocked the attack, but Artlan got even closer and swung again.

Clang!

Even with two swords, Junhyuk couldn’t keep up with Artlan. The hero was very strong, in a way that was superior to Junhyuk’s strength.

Junhyuk quickly raised his force field.

Clang!

He was launched toward the wall, and Artlan smacked his lips.

“The force field. Guess I have to play tag for ten seconds.”

Artlan moved back, and Junhyuk ran out to close the gap between them. He should be attacking as much as possible in those ten seconds.

Junhyuk decreased the size of his force field to cover only his body and released wind blades with Dentra’s Magic Sword. Even if his enemy was fast, the wind blades would pressure him from all sides.

The wind blades came from every direction, but Artlan laughed and swung his sabers. Artlan only had two arms, but Junhyuk could see eight arms blocking in every direction. The wind blades were destroyed, and Artlan struck against the force field delightfully.

Thuck, thuck, thuck, thuck!

Junhyuk was launched back again, and Artlan brandished his sabers.

Artlan took a stance, and Junhyuk knew the hero would use his ultimate. However, because his force field was active, Junhyuk considered himself safe and attacked again.

Artlan blocked all of his attacks, and from that, Junhyuk picked up on his weaknesses. Junhyuk wasn’t as fast as Artlan when accelerating. Artlan’s huge muscles were unreasonably fast during the hero’s acceleration.

Junhyuk had to increased the range of his attacks, and he used both of his swords to attack over a wide area. His thought was that Artlan would not be able to defend against it.

Using the two swords like that, Junhyuk felt his mana depleting quickly. He attacked Artlan, creating a mana hurricane with his swords. Artlan saw the attack heading toward him and laughed. He unsheathed his sabers, and the world split in two.

Clang!

Junhyuk was lucky that his force field was still up, but he was thrown against the wall. He tried to search for the difference between him and Artlan. Even with his expensive items, he had not managed to do much in the battle. He concluded that fights between heroes had to be decided through brute force.

His ability to control his body and his mana was lower than Artlan’s.

Junhyuk’s items had speed buffs, but Artlan’s probably did as well.

Junhyuk gathered his breath. He hadn’t made a dent on the hero yet. Both Aksha’s swordsmanship and Dentra’s swordsmanship, as well as his wild swordsmanship, were useless.

Artlan was different. He knew himself from top to bottom, and the hero could destroy all of Junhyuk’s best attacks because of that.

Junhyuk attacked one more time before the force field disappeared, and he poured everything he had into that attack.

He wanted to fight until his mana was completely depleted. Using the sword shield, Juhyuk rushed toward Artlan.

He would push Artlan with the sword shield and stab him with Dentra’s Magic Sword. That was his goal, but Artlan swung his sabers, and the muscles in his arms increased in size.

The two clashed against each other in a flash. Artlan’s sabers collided against the sword shield, destroying it.

Junhyuk was shocked by the hero. Soon after all of the sword shields were destroyed, he released the wind of Dentra’s Magic Sword against the hero.

The wind was focused at the tip of the sword so that it would be able to pierce Artlan’s skin. He wanted to finish the fight immediately.

Junhyuk thought he would be able to get through Artlan’s defenses. There was nowhere for Artlan to go.

The wind blade was aimed at Artlan’s chest, and Artlan noticed that as well, so he swung at the tip of Junhyuk’s sword. That was definitely not one of Artlan’s powers, but the concentrated wind was dispersed to the four corners of the room as the saber rushed toward Junhyuk.

Junhyuk used his swords to block the attack.

Clang!

The force field was now gone, so he slammed against the wall after being launched back again.

Junhyuk staggered, and Artlan extended his hands toward him.

He tried to slash Artlan’s hands, but the hero grabbed him by the neck.

The world spun around, and Junhyuk felt an impact against his back. He felt like vomiting.

Artlan was now sitting on his chest, smirking.

“Shall we begin round two?”

“We can’t begin with you on top of me.”

Artlan started punching him hard.
