Chapter 126: Reunion

Genie and Locke’s eyes met. Both of them felt that it was fortunate that Minhyuk was not forced to log out. However, he was bleeding all over and even vomited blood. It seemed like his HP was almost running out just from that single attack alone. What kind of happy reunion was this?

“Khan, Ace. Lead three of our guild members to deal with the rest of Ares Guild.”

“OK!” Khan answered, rushing forward to strike the still staggering Ares.

“And for the rest of the guild members…”

Genie finally gave an order.

“...let’s start hunting this Boss Mob.”

“Yes!”

“Roger, flower piggy!”

“Go! Flower piggy! Lightning bolt!”

The guild members were looking at Rumad playfully, but inwardly, they were also very nervous. This was because they were all subjected to ‘Extreme Fear’ the moment they arrived in this place. And what was very surprising was…

‘The Frying Pan Killer… In just one hit…’

…Rumad’s tremendous power. Genie’s eyes met with the spearman, Crow.

Nod━

The members of Legend Guild had known each other since?Versal. Some of them were even foreigners that came to Korea to find Genie just to play games with her together. These people had been together for quite a long time and were now showing off their teamwork.

Crow stomped on the ground as his spear aimed towards Rumad.

Vwooooong!

The spear thrust was so powerful that it sounded like the space was being ripped!

[Spear Pistol!]

[A powerful strike that penetrates the enemy’s vital point!]

Fwooooooosh!

A powerful force flew out of the spear like a bullet fired from a gun. Rumad easily blocked the force with his greatsword as he ran towards Crow with his huge body.

‘Fast...!’

Contrary to his size, Rumad was extremely fast. Genie quickly launched an attack in an attempt to slow him down.

Shwaa!

Shwaaaaaa!

“Annoying pest!” Rumad said. He grinned darkly as he quickly evaded the whip and grabbed it with his bare hands. Then…

Hoooooong!

…Genie’s body was dragged by the whip. Her body swayed and flew in the air. Rumad quickly dragged the whip down as he aimed his greatsword towards the falling Genie. That was when Ascar, the Goddess of the Battlefield moved. Her silver bob swayed with the wind as she gripped both of her swords tightly. She moved so fast that only an afterimage of a cold and lofty woman was left behind.

Clang!

The distance between Ascar and Rumad disappeared in a blink of an eye. She quickly raised her swords to block the greatsword that was aimed at Genie. And....

Dash!

…sidestepped to jump off of the ground and attack Rumad’s back.

“Ghost Sword.”

[A ghostly sword that can’t be followed by the naked eye!]

Ascar’s sword moved at a speed that could not be followed by anyone so easily.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!

“Hmph!” Rumad snorted, letting go of the whip and slamming his fist into Genie’s body.

Punch!

“Urk!”

Genie flew back in an arc. Then, Rumad turned around and easily blocked the incoming sword attacks.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

‘Crazy...!’

Genie was shocked. Ascar’s Ghost Sword was a very fast attack that none of their guild members could stop! She was also ranked 64th in the Global Swordsman Rankings. To be honest, Ascar was also surprised. In fact, Rumad was not even blocking all of her attacks.

[Your attack has failed.]

It seemed like the 20% reduction of attack and defensive power from the abnormal status was a much bigger blow to them than what they expected. That, and the fact that Rumad’s defenses were strong. Even if they had successfully attacked him, he had only spilled a little bit of blood.

"Ha!" Rumad shouted as his greatsword was once again filled with strength. Ascar did her best to distract Rumad as her guild members dashed behind him. However, the moment Ascar’s sword collided with Rumad’s greatsword…

Spark!

…sparks flew. Then, Rumad ignored her attack and struck the ground with his sword strongly.

Baaaaang!

The ground shook and trembled from the impact of the strike. The force that Rumad released was tremendous. It was to the point that the Legend Guild members staggered and struggled to keep their bodies upright from the shock. Ascar, the person that took the brunt of the attack, was shocked.

[Ghost Armor]

[The ghosts in the field will protect you.]

In just an instant, ghosts armed to the teeth with armor swarmed and clung to Ascar's body. She watched as a powerful blow aimed for her body as the ground shook and cracked, trying to swallow her down.

Baang!

Baaaaam!

Spikes even appeared one after the other.

"Arghhh!"

Despite wearing her ghost armor, Ascar still took a huge amount of damage.

"Ack!"

In the end, Ascar was rendered immobile, vomiting a mouthful of blood. Rumad did not miss the gap. He narrowed the distance between them and swung his greatsword.

Slash!

Rumad slashed at her with the sword and…

[You have been struck by a greatsword. Your defenses have been ignored.]

[Your HP has dropped below 30%.]

[Due to the severity of the attack, all of your stats had been reduced by 70%.]

…Ascar’s body swayed before she collapsed to the ground.

"Haaaaa… Haaaa… Damn! His greatsword ignores all defenses!"

"...F*ck?!"

"We’ll be forced to log out in one strike!"

Ignoring all defenses was a much greater ability than anyone could think of. They did not know whether it was a skill attached to the greatsword, or if it was a passive skill that Rumad himself had. However, all of the attacks that came their way would automatically reduce all of their defenses. Once the damage comes in, it would then reduce their HP. With this ability, the members of Legend Guild were like novices wearing shabby armor in front of Rumad. That was how defenseless they were right now.

“Interesting. I can’t believe that there are strong foreigners here.” Rumad said, smiling coldly at them. The guild members of Legend Guild suddenly paused in their tracks when they saw his chilling smile. Rumad quickly rushed to where they were. Meanwhile, Khan and the other guild members of Legend Guild were dealing with the rest of the forces.

Swoosh!

Kick!

Khan was quickly greeted with a series of sharp kicks. Then he stepped back calmly and smiled. He said, “That was a pretty sharp kick.”

“Shut up, you bastard!” Ares shouted, quickly narrowing the distance between them. In fact, Ares truly did have a pretty sharp kick.

[Sharp Kick]

[A kick that could cut down your enemies.]

Swish!

Ares’ legs were covered with a white glow as he kicked towards Khan. Khan covered his face and upper body with his arms and escaped with just a few steps. If Ares’ fighting style was akin to taekwondo, Khan’s was akin to boxing.

Khan avoided Ares’ kicks. Then, he suddenly found a gap. With great strength, he punched at the opening. And at that moment…

“Caught you,” Ares said. He grinned widely as he turned his body around. He used his most powerful kick to deal a blow towards Khan who willingly went for the trap that he had dug for him.

Baaang!

Khan was hit on the jaw and flew back.

“Ack!”

Ares took the opportunity to leap forward and say, “This is my answer to your attack earlier!”

His legs were suddenly covered with a sharp light.

Bang!

Ares kicked his abdomen with a powerful kick.

“Ugh!”

Khan fell down to the ground as he vomited a mouthful of blood.

“Ack!”

He felt that his stomach was twisting in pain. In just one attack, his HP fell by 30%.

“A guild’s GM should be able to do at least this much.”

Khan spitted out the blood in his mouth and clicked his tongue. He said, “Ah, that’s right. Did you see what’s behind you?”

“Behind me?” Ares asked, his face suddenly turning ugly.

“Your guild members and soldiers… almost all of them are dead.”

“...!”

Ares glanced furtively behind him. He saw his guild members fighting fiercely against the members of Legend Guild. However, only a few of them were missing. It was not true that almost all of them were dead.

“How can you tell such a lie with such a straight face...”

“Yeah. It’s a lie,” Khan said as he closed the distance between them and slammed his fists that were charged with power towards Ares.

[Bash of Fury!]

[Additional 20% damage to ten consecutive blows to your enemies.]

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

“Ack! Ugh!”

Khan bashed Ares’ chest, his armor was even dented and crushed due to the impact of the blows. And the final blow…

Baaaang!

…made Ares fly back. He was even forced to log out before his body fell down!

“A man should fight with their fists,” Khan said. He grinned brightly as he joined his other guild members to clear the remnants of the Ares Guild.

Meanwhile, the bounty hunter and spearman, Crow, helplessly flew back after he received the direct brunt of Rumad’s attack. Genie braced her body and intercepted Crow to reduce the force that he received.

“Kgghk!”

“Kyaaaak!”

The two of them were rendered immobile for a short while. Meanwhile, Crazy Priest Locke approached Rumad with a crazy smile on his face. Even though his class was a healer, he was considered to be the strongest in terms of strength and stamina among all of his guild members so he at least had great confidence in his power.

“Oryaaaaa!”

Locke swung his ax towards Rumad with all his might in an attempt to block his way and give at least a few moments of reprieve for his guild members.

Swooosh!

Swooooosh!

“Keuhahahahahah! Do you also want to taste my heals? Heal, heal, heal!”

However, the bleeding effect of his heals would only work if his attacks were successful.

Slash!

Rumad smacked his ax away with his greatsword. The ax was embedded on the ground. Locke quickly forgot about his ax and hugged Rumad’s waist tightly.

“I’ll hold on to him so focus your attacks on him...!”

Let’s just die together!

This was Locke’s intention. To let his guild members focus all of their attacks while he tried to hold Rumad in a deadlock. However…

“Annoying.”

…Rumad easily removed Locke’s tight grasp.

“Urk!”

Then Rumad kicked Locke hard.

Bang!

Roll, roll, roll!

The situation had suddenly turned incredibly dire. Legend Guild was a guild that was composed of members that could rival official rankers. However, there was a reason why they were struggling this much. Ten kindergarten students would not be able to defeat an adult after all. Their situation was exactly like that. The Legend Guild members were like ten kindergarten students while Rumad was the huge adult. In addition, he was like an adult who was well-versed in fighting too.

[Guild Master Genie: As soon as I send the signal, launch an all out attack. We don’t have any other choice. Use all of your skills including the risky ones. We’re going all out!]

[Guild Chat | Locke: OK!]

[Guild Chat | Huren: Yes!]

Genie waited with bated breath. Rumad swung his greatsword with great fanfare. With every swing of his sword, her guild members would fly away in a sorry state.

“Kgghhhk!”

She tried to swing her whip to block the attacks but the force was so large that it engulfed her.

[You have been struck by a greatsword. Your defenses have been ignored.]

[Your HP has dropped below 50%.]

[Your AGI has been temporarily reduced by 40%.]

Genie was finally sure that Rumad had an ‘ignore all defenses’ passive skill.

“This is much easier than what I thought,” Rumad said. He walked around leisurely while stroking his beard. The moment he walked within the range she had set, Genie’s eyes gleamed brightly.

[Sword-like Whip.]

[Your whip can cut down your enemies in one fell swoop.]

The rest of Legend Guild members also activated their skills.

[Great Spear Boom!]

[Ghost King Decas’ Sword!]

[Dragon Arrow!]

[Carla’s...]

Those were the most powerful attacks of the ten guild members! Rumad finally sensed danger when he saw all of their incoming attacks.

‘I can’t avoid it.’

Rumad immediately infused his greatsword with his force.

Spark, spark, spark!

The greatsword was suddenly covered with a red glow. He swung his bloody red greatsword at the incoming attacks.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The powerful strike from the glowing sword collided with the Legend Guild’s attacks which resulted in a huge and tremendous impact.

Baaaang!

Baaaaang!

However, some attacks still struck Rumad. Once his movements were restricted, Ascar’s most powerful skill, the Ghost King Decas’ Sword flew quickly and wrapped all over Rumad.

Fwish, fwish, fwish!

“Aaaaarghhh!”

For the first time, Rumad shrieked in pain.

Crow also used an attacking skill with a three-meter radius that would only be extinguished once it landed on his target.

Bang!

An explosion occurred near Rumad while an arrow flew at a fast pace. The arrow turned red and was covered in flames. It roared with a threatening sound, just like a dragon using dragon breath. Dragon Arrow was the best skill in Root’s arsenal! He sent it out together with the rest of the attacks that the Legend Guild had sent.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaa!

“Ugh!” Rumad groaned. He was forced to take a step back.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The attacks coming from the members of the Legend Guild came pouring down! Once all of the attacks ended, a thick layer of dust covered the whole area.

“Ha… Ha… Ha…!”

“I can’t fight anymore...”

“Ah. The risk of my skill is really too much...!”

“I can’t even get up even if you beat me to death...”

The members of the Legend Guild really gave it their all, they even used their most risky skills. However, this was still better than dying helplessly. Death for rankers was much different compared to death for ordinary players. The penalty for being forced to log out would let other rankers overtake them. This would lead to their place being snatched. All of her guild members fell down and relaxed. However, Genie did not do so.

“...Did anyone get the notification for successfully hunting Rumad?”

“No, No!”

“I don’t have one either.”

“But, I don’t have it too?”

“...!”

Genie’s brows furrowed. This was strange, why hasn’t anyone heard the notification? This only meant one thing, They were not able to kill him off.

“Everyone, get up...!”

The moment Genie said so…

Shwaaaa!

…Rumad walked out of the thick layer of dust and grabbed Genie’s neck.

Grab!

“Y…you...!”
