Chapter 483: New Buff 2
The attack hit Ronga’s neck, a critical hit, killing him, but Junhyuk was more interested in Ronga’s buff than his item.
[You’ve killed Ronga and taken his buff. For the next five hours, your health regeneration rate will increase by 50 percent, and the attack speed of your regular attacks will increase by 100 percent. If you die within that time, you will lose this buff to the opponent who kills you.]
Junhyuk stared at the rings underneath his feet. He didn’t know which new monster had been killed, but the buff was definitely from one of them.
The rings were red and yellow.
Junhyuk smacked his lips. With that kind of buff, he didn’t have to use his powers to kill his enemies. Ronga had fought well not because of luck, but because of the buffs.
“Those are some buffs!”
The buffs were not as good as the dragon’s buff. Normally, the dragon’s buff increased nearly all of the person’s stats, on top of having fixed damage.
This new buff, however, only affected health regeneration and attack speed. It would still change the course of battles, however.
Junhyuk also picked up the item dropped by Ronga. The enemy hero carried items that cost at least 100,000G each. This time, he picked up a ring, and since he could wear it, he inspected it.
—
Tapir’s Mane Ring
Attack +30
Health +50
This ring was made out of a tapir’s pelt. It increases both attack and health. Attack increases by thirty, and health by fifty.
—
Without hesitation, Junhyuk put the ring on. For a ring, the increase in attack was significant. After that, he looked back and saw that Elise had come up to him.
“Are you OK?”
“I’m fine. He had a regeneration buff.”
Junhyuk had the buff now, and with each passing second, he regained some health.
“We have to take out the enemies on both paths. We have to do something.”
She smiled and asked, “Do you want to hunt the new buff monster?”
Junhyuk nodded. If Ronga had killed one by himself, he was confident that he could do it as well. Ronga had had the warthog with him, however.
“Let’s go get it,” he said, and Elise nodded in agreement.
“We must not let our enemies take those new buffs.”
“They are almost like the buffs from a dragon. If Ronga had had another buff, he would’ve been able to kill me easily.”
Junhyuk had used his Spatial Slash and Spatial Collapse. If he failed to land a critical hit with his powers, Ronga was able to kill him.
He couldn’t allow his enemies to get the buffs, but he didn’t know where Ronga had found the new monster.
“Ronga used the portals, so we’ll do the same to cover a larger area of investigation.”
“We have to hurry.”
After some thought, Junhyuk said, “I want to take you with me, but someone has to stay here to cover the buff tower. I’ll hunt the monster alone.”
With the buff tower’s movement speed boost, he could hunt for the monster on his own. If he came across Ronga doing the same thing, Junhyuk would kill him first.
He bid Elise goodbye and entered the portal. He appeared by an enemy camp, slowly moving toward the middle path.
He didn’t know where he could find the buff monster, but he knew it wasn’t a dragon. However, since its buffs were that significant, it would definitely be very strong.
Junhyuk looked up at the purple sky. He was inside the forest, and though the forest had no source of light, he could see well in it.
Junhyuk walked, ready to hunt the buff monster at any moment. He contacted Gongon and Layla as well. The two were in battle.
“I’ve killed Ronga.”
“He went middle?”
“He used the portal. He had new buffs, and they were really strong. I’m hunting one of the new monsters by myself now.”
“Did he almost kill you?”
“Yeah, due to the buffs.”
“Hunt quickly then, before he joins the battle again.”
“Right.”
Junhyuk disconnected and teleported to move faster. He didn’t have much time to spare.
Ronga would revive, and it would take Junhyuk two hours before he would be able to support the side paths. Within that time, he had to kill the buff monster. If not, the allies might fall to the enemy heroes.
There was no telling when the flow of battle would change, so he moved at full speed.
Junhyuk got lucky. After he passed the Dragon’s Valley, he came upon the new buff monster.
He had never seen anything like it. The monster looked strong, but not fast. It moved slowly, but Junhyuk felt like he shouldn’t attack it by himself.
The monster looked like a superior existence.
“How is that weaker than a dragon?!”
The monster looked back at him. Was it a monster? It was massive, and it had one eye open. When Junhyuk looked into that eye, he became unable to move.
[Agora of the Abyss has released a fear wave upon you. You’ll be paralyzed for three seconds.]
Junhyuk didn’t know what the fear wave was, but he was still paralyzed for three seconds. Suddenly, Agora of the Abyss released grew two appendages from within it.
Thuck, thuck!
Junhyuk got hit on the ribs twice, but he didn’t know by what.
[Agora of the Abyss has inflicted you with poison. You will lose 4 percent of your health per second.]
Junhyuk had been hit twice. He didn’t know how much health he would lose for the duration of the effect, so he scowled.
Junhyuk was still paralyzed, and in that state, he was hit two more times.
[Agora of the Abyss had inflicted you with poison. You will lose 8 percent of your health per second.]
Junhyuk had already lost 12 percent of his health, and now, he would lose 8 percent of it percent per second, meaning he had eleven seconds to kill Agora.
After regaining his ability to move, Junhyuk quickly used his Spatial Slash. He didn’t know how much damage he would be able to inflict, but he still closed in on the monster.
Agora used whips of dark energy to attack him, but Junhyuk sidestepped them and dodged.
He swung Aksha’s Longsword. It was his best weapon at long range, and he wanted to keep an even distance from Agora.
Agora got slashed, but it did not bleed. Instead, dark energy smoke billowed out of Agora’s injury. Junhyuk knew the attack had worked then and continued to attack.
Agora remained motionless, using its whips of dark energy to attack instead. Junhyuk scoffed at the monster, dodging the whips and attacking Agora.
When he thought he was close to killing the monster, he closed in. He was going to attack with both swords.
Suddenly, ten whips of dark energy lashed at him at the same time.
Junhyuk quickly raised his force field. Within it, he stopped losing health, and because his buffs still worked, he started regaining 1 percent of his health per second. With the force field’s ten-second duration, he would regain 10 percent of his health.
He decided he would kill Agora within that time.
Junhyuk swung his sword, and Agora covered its body with its arms. The dark energy it released protected it like armor. Junhyuk slashed against it.
Clang!
After hitting the dark energy, Junhyuk realized that it acted as a type of protective barrier. He had to destroy the barrier to kill Agora.
Speeding up, Junhyuk kept attacking. He only had ten seconds to finish the job, so he had to destroy the dark energy barrier and kill Agora.
Clang, clang, clang!
Junhyuk was buffed, so his attack speed was doubled. On top of that, he triggered his set’s acceleration.
Finally, the dark energy barrier was destroyed, and he found Agora hiding within it.
Agora opened its huge eye, and Junhyuk closed both of his. However, things weren’t that easy to counter.
[Agora of the Abyss has released a fear wave upon you. You’ll be paralyzed for three seconds.]
The force field disappeared, and now, Junhyuk was paralyzed. Ten appendages started to come out of Agora’s body. The speed of the appearance of the arms was slow, but there were ten of them.
“Shit!” he shouted as the ten arms rushed toward him.
[Agora of the Abyss has inflicted you with poison. You will lose 20 percent of your health per second.]
Because of his regeneration, he had to kill Agora within four seconds.
The attack had taken a while, so Junhyuk regained his moved. As soon as he did, he used his Spatial Collapse on Agora’s massive eye. The eye vanished, giving him a chance to finish things.
Junhyuk ran forward. Now that Agora had lost its eye, it tried to whip him with its arms, but the arms were also sucked by the Spatial Collapse.
Junhyuk lengthened Aksha’s Longsword then. Agora had already been hit by the Spatial Slash and the Spatial Collapse. And now, Junhyuk stabbed the monster with both of his swords.
They both pierced Agora, suddenly triggering a massive explosion.
Boom!
Dark energy went everywhere, and another ring appeared underneath Junhyuk’s feet. A black ring.
[You’ve killed Agora of the Abyss. For the next five hours, you can use Wave of Fear. Wave of Fear paralyzes your enemy for three seconds. It has a five-minute cooldown.]
The cooldown wasn’t important. He had gained a sub-skill that paralyzed enemies. For him, it was better than having the dragon’s buffs.
