Chapter 76: Hyounga’s Moment of Valor

“Quickly, clear the minions! The Main Camp Barrier is on the verge of collapsing!”

Enenra urgently called out to everyone.

Yet, had they been able to swiftly eliminate these super reinforcements, the situation would not have devolved to its current state.

The super reinforcements’ primary target was the Main Camp Barrier, and none could impede their relentless advance.

“Hey! Phantom Bamboo Grove!”

Kaguya, seizing the opportune moment, unleashed a vast, circular ring of bamboo, its perimeter seamlessly woven from sturdy stalks.

“Thankfully, I’ve leveled my third skill to one; it won’t hold them for long, so clear those minions quickly!”

The Phantom Bamboo Grove, Kaguya’s formidable crowd-control ability, would stun any enemy unit that brushed against its verdant perimeter.

Even super minions, devoid of intelligence, would not patiently wait within the circle for the skill to dissipate.

Instead, they charged directly into it, providing a precious moment of respite for everyone—or, more accurately, for the Main Camp Barrier itself.

“Brilliantly played!”

Enenra and Ara instantly surged forward, unleashing a barrage of skills to decimate the super reinforcements.

Meanwhile, Zhen’s poisoned feathers rained down, a deadly flurry that whizzed through the air, striking both the super reinforcements and the ordinary minions.

Only Hyounga remained, a silent, somewhat bewildered spectator.

He possessed little offensive power; any attempt to engage would prove utterly futile.

No one spared Hyounga a glance, not for lack of desire to berate him, but simply because they lacked the precious moments to do so.

Confronted with the incessant tide of super reinforcements flooding the high ground, even a flicker of complacency from the team could spell the catastrophic collapse of the Main Camp Barrier!

“Hmph, utterly useless.”

Kaguya alone found a brief window to hurl an insult.

After all, she wasn’t primarily responsible for clearing minions, allowing her a touch more leeway.

Indeed, given the Kaguya player’s usual disposition, it would have been more surprising had she remained silent.

“I—I’m not useless!”

Hyounga’s player, seemingly struck by the realization of their own ineffectiveness—having built an absurd pure health item set purely for self-preservation—felt like a complete mockery.

Yet, a man’s dignity compelled him to erupt amidst the team’s unspoken scorn.

Hyounga bellowed, then dashed into the midst of the three minion lanes, clutching his longsword as he cried out with full force.

“Come at me, all of you!”

To everyone’s astonishment, the minions truly did converge on Hyounga.

Both the regular reinforcements and the formidable super reinforcements, casting aside the Main Camp Barrier without a second thought, raised their weapons and charged to hack at Hyounga.

What an unexpected honor, indeed.

“You truly are a walking taunt, aren’t you? Even the minions abandoned the Main Camp Barrier, charging straight for you.”

Kaguya’s voice dripped with playful mockery.

Enenra, naturally, would not let such an opportunity slip by, immediately launching her spirits, both large and small, directly at Hyounga’s feet.

Ara, after a moment of stunned disbelief, quickly followed Enenra’s lead, unleashing her own skills toward Hyounga.

As the minions converged around Hyounga, they seemed to absorb an endless volley of skills.

Zhen and Kaguya, showing no mercy, swiftly began their basic attacks against the encroaching horde.

This was no mere petulant outburst from Hyounga, no simple command for the minions to attack him that they then obeyed.

This was Hyounga’s ultimate ability, “Wrath of the Hidden Leaf,” a skill that, after a brief channeling period, taunted all enemy units within a substantial radius.

Given that the super reinforcements could not be eliminated in an instant, Hyounga, immediately after unleashing “Wrath of the Hidden Leaf,” promptly activated his second skill, “Dust of Ancient Sealing.”

This, combined with the passive effect of his third skill, “Defense as Offense,” allowed him to petrify all the surrounding minions immediately following the expiration of “Wrath of the Hidden Leaf’s” taunt.

Hyounga was determined to prove his worth, to demonstrate that he was not, in fact, useless.

Even with his ludicrous, pure health item build, he could still showcase his value through the strategic use of his abilities!

For someone who had always been so fearful of death, daring to activate a mass taunt amidst a horde of enemies marked a truly significant step forward!

At last, they had managed to withstand the immense pressure exerted by the super reinforcements.

The team collectively pushed the minion waves back to the three high ground entrances.

Provided no further mishaps occurred, they could now successfully endure until the ultimate challenge of reaching level sixteen and unlocking their third-level ultimate abilities!
