Legend of Legends

Gongon also shook his head when he saw Junhyuk. Layla, who was standing next to Junhyuk, asked, "Is that the dragon who fought with you. Gongon, right?"

Junhyuk nodded and answered, "Correct. He just became a hero, but he will be a headache."

"My teacher told me about him. He has a rush, a firebreath and a growth power. My teacher said Gongon would be a difficult opponent."

"With his ultimate, he fully transforms into a dragon. After doing that, he can breathe fireballs nonstop. He should also have a combo. He'll be one of the most difficult heroes you ever faced."

Gongon didn't have a full armor set, but his experience was superior to the others. It wouldn't be easy to fight against the hatchling. Junhyuk had never done it, but he had to be prepared to die fighting against him.

He knew how expensive his items were, so if he died, it would be nice if he dropped a cheap one. If he dropped one of the expensive ones, he would be hard pressed to replace it.

Junhyuk stared at Gongon. Thinking of it, Gongon's equipment was all similarly priced. He did not have many items, but they were all very expensive.

Junhyuk pulled out his swords. Layla saw that and said, "Why do you give me so much deference?"

He turned to her. She did not use an ounce of respect when speaking to him, so wouldn't she be the strange one? Junhyuk thought that it was simply her character, so he didn't pay any attention.

Layla said calmly, "Be at ease with me."

"Sure."

Their conversation wasn't important at that moment. He had to pay attention and think of how he would deal with Gongon. It would've been nice if he didn't have to meet Gongon this way, but Gongon had also thought that the central path was the most important after hearing Junhyuk's explanation of Nightmare Mountain.

If Junhyuk was to make a different in this battlefield, he would continued to clash against Gongon.

He thought over it and stepped forward. If Gongon had to die, the job of doing it would be his. He wanted to team up with the hatchling. He needed Gongon more than he needed expensive items.

He had to kill Gongon and pick up his items. Whenever they finally got on the same team, he would give Gongon's items back to him.

Junhyuk took a stance, and Layla asked, "Are you going to kill Gongon?"

"Yes. I must deal with him. Can you take care of the other one?"

Layla unsheathed her samurai sword and said, "You don't know me very well." She raised it in front of her and added, "Give me Gongon."

"No. I have to deal with him."

After a split second, she nodded and said, "Fine. Then, let's start." Stepping forward, she ordered, "Minions, attack!"

The minions looked at her, and Layla got the impression that they weren't following her orders, so she swung her samurai sword, stopping it a millimeter from a minion's neck.

"If you want to die, stay where you are."

The minions trembled. Layla was releasing her killing intent at them.

Once the minions started moving, Junhyuk said, "If you use your shields, you'll survive."

Then, he saw the minions Gongon had brought. They looked like gorillas. The gorillas were just wielding branches, but they looked stronger than human minions.

Junhyuk looked at the enemies before him and said, "Then, let's begin."

He walked forward through the path that led to Gongon, and the hatchling stared at him, pondered things over for a moment, and slowly walked to meet him. Staring into Gongon's eyes, Junhyuk said, "Gon, I didn't know things would turn out like this."

Gongon wagged his tail sheepishly and replied, "Yeah. I didn't want to fight you."

Gongon knew everything about Junhyuk, but that didn't mean the fight would be easy for him, and the same thing applied to Junhyuk. Gongon was strong like a tank, and he could also deal outstanding damage.

While Junhyuk's health and defense were higher than Gongon's, the dragon still wouldn't be an easy opponent. There was a chance that Gongon would kill him.

There was only one way to fight. He had to restrain Gongon and kill him.

Junhyuk had made up his mind, and Gongon looked at him and asked, "Is this fight just between the two of us?"

A one-versus-one fight was a luxury in the Dimensional Battlefield.

"Yeah."

Gongon smirked and asked, "Once either of us wins, that person can attack the others, right?"

"Correct."

Gongon pounded his short fisted claws together.

"OK. Let's fight."

Junhyuk smiled. Gongon was excited. They didn't want to fight each other, but both of them thought of each other as worthy opponents.

Junhyuk meant to kill Gongon and return his items later. However, he didn't know if Gongon would want to keep his items.

Junhyuk readied himself as the minions clashed. The gorillas might be stronger than the allied minions, but the allied minions outnumbered the gorillas by twofold. Since the allies had brought a hundred minions with them, they had the advantage.

The allied minions stood their ground with their shields raised, gaining the advantage in the exchange.

Junhyuk looked at Layla. Her opponent had a blade for his left hand, and his right hand was disproportionately large. He also had large, sharp teeth. The hero didn't look easy at all.

Junhyuk wanted to watch her fight, but he couldn't. Gongon was approaching him slowly, and Junhyuk thought about using his Spatial Slash.

The Spatial Slash would deal massive damage, but Gongon knew that, so he hesitate to come closer than fifty meters from Junhyuk.

Junhyuk had made up his mind. If he had to fight Gongon, he would fight him earnestly. As he closed him, he measured the distance between them. Gongon started running toward him. However, Gongon was zigzagging. He intended to dodge the Spatial Slash, but Junhyuk thought the dragon didn't know him well enough.

Junhyuk accelerated. He could sense his perception of time increasing, and once he could almost touch Gongon, he used his Spatial Slash.

"Ugh!" Gongon moaned.

Junhyuk looked at the dragon's health. When the Spatial Slash landed, it triggered an extra attack, but even then, Gongon only lost 35 percent of his health. His defense was certainly impressive, and he was stronger than Kraken.

Junhyuk eyes beamed when he saw what had happened. Regardless of Gongon's high defense, his regular attacks would deal him a lot of damage since their damage was based on a fixed percentage due to the Vampire Lord's set effect.

He ran toward Gongon, but Gongon did not rush. Junhyuk was curious as to why, but he still approached him.

While he did, he thought he had to be careful of Gongon's firebreath. Gongon was still just closing the gap between them.

Junhyuk got frustrated with that. He thought Gongon wanted to fight without using his powers, which would give Junhyuk a definite victory.

Junhyuk swordsmanship was already nearly complete. As Junhyuk's sword headed toward Gongon, the dragon enlarged and kicked forward. Junhyuk swung the Frozen Rune Sword against his leg, but Gongon quickly pulled his leg back and swung his tail around.

Junhyuk dodged the tail, and Gongon tried to punch him in the stomach. Junhyuk accelerated again to fight the dragon. He slashed at Gongon's arm with the Blood Rune Sword, but Gongon got even closer to him and tried to elbow him.

Gongon leaned forward, and Junhyuk dove to the side.

Boom!

The elbow had failed, but Gongon swung his leg around to kick Junhyuk. The hatchling had trained really hard during the time they hadn't seen each other. With his speed, he could dodge all of Kraken's eight tentacles and counterattack.

The reason Junhyuk was able to keep up was because he had the acceleration.

Junhyuk distanced himself, and Gongon breathed fire. The flames licked at him, but Junhyuk teleported to appear next to Gongon and stab him in the ribs.

Gongon twisted his body to avoid a critical hit. The strike took 5 percent off of his health, plus the extra 3 percent damage from the set effect. Total, Gongon lost 8 percent of his health.

Junhyuk thought that was plenty of damage from a single regular attack. Then, Gongon rushed at him.

Clang!

The rush was triggered at a very close range, but Junhyuk couldn't teleport. Instead, he raised his swords to block the attack. He only had one teleportation left, and he needed to use it when it was needed most.

The impact still dealt him damage, even blocking, and Junhyuk lost 20 percent of his health.

Kilraden had a 10-percent damage counter, which meant Gongon's damage was very high. The dragon was still enlarged.

Gongon attacked him nonstop, but Junhyuk dodged the combo and stabbed forward with his swords. He could read the hatchling's movements. However, at that moment, Gongon jumped up and rolled himself into a ball.

That made Junhyuk worried.

Gongon's ultimate dealt damage during his transformation. Gongon was already massive, and if he transformed on top of that, his damage would be insane.

Junhyuk already knew that Gongon was capable of long range attacks when Gongon transformed into a fully-formed dragon, so he shouldn't teleport. Instead, he raised his force field, and the flames from the transformation covered it completely.

Junhyuk saw Gongon as a dragon for the first time in person. He looked extremely dangerous, but Junhyuk didn't care, stabbing at him with a sword instead.

Gongon flew up. Junhyuk had already seen him do it, so he didn't panic.

Junhyuk used his skill. He jumped, and when Gongon landed, Junhyuk dropped down with his sword pointed at the dragon's head.

Gongon looked up and opened his mouth wide. Fireballs flew out of it.

Clang!

Junhyuk's force field was still covering him, so he wasn't damaged. However, he was still in the air, so when he got hit, he got pushed back.

Gongon spit out more fireballs, and Junhyuk was hit once again, getting pushed further back.

When he finally landed, there was a distance of eight meters between the two.

Junhyuk was sure of what Gongon was thinking then. Gongon was trying to buy himself time. He was trying to get the force field to run out.

"You can't have your way!"

Junhyuk dodged the fireballs and zigzagged toward Gongon.
