Chapter 123: Reunion
Translator: ChubbyCheeks
PR: MattForgenti
Minhyuk was running together with Lute and Varen when he suddenly saw a cloud of blood going straight towards them.
Right at the moment when the blood exploded and tainted their bodies…
[A Blind Man's Despair.]
[The sight of those who got in contact with the blood of despair will be limited.]
[You have an invincible body that can ignore and resist all abnormal status and poisons.]
[You have resisted an abnormal state.]
God's first Legacy Dish!
When he ate the jokbal set, he was able to receive an invincible body that could ignore all poisons and abnormal states.
Minhyuk saw Lute and Varen fall down as they lost their sight. He also saw another user giggling weirdly not too far away from them.
His forehead furrowed. But as he looked at the soboro bread that he took out because he felt hungry, his brows furrowed even further.
'Heok……!'
Minhyuk was left in shock.
This was the last piece of his crispy on the outside but soft on the inside soboro bread! But his soboro bread was covered in blood!
His body trembled. He gazed at the bread for a moment as he thought…
'My precious soboro…… Bread……!'
But the man was just laughing and giggling at them. When he heard his atrocious laughter, Minhyuk's anger reached its peak.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom He made up his mind.
I will take revenge for my soboro bread!
There was only one method(?) to catch the person who aimed for his soboro bread. He believed that the rest of the troop could easily be handled by himself and Lute after he had dealt with this person.
So Minhyuk began acting.
And once the man who seemed to want to play with them as he tried to kill them approached him, he stopped his sword. And once the man asked him in disbelief, he answered with all his might!
Slaaaaash!
Ellie's Sword was filled with a strong energy as it glowed red. The ground even vibrated loudly and strongly with how strong the force was.
The man, Kohei, had a gut feeling.
'It's dangerous……!'
The moment he thought about it, Ellie's Sword deflected Kohei's sword.
Clang!
Minhyuk quickly narrowed the distance and he attacked Kohei fiercely.
'I have to stop him!'
Kohei quickly used his defensive skills.
[The Cursed Shield.]
[Creates a shield made out of cursed beings.]
Crack, crack, crack!
Bones sprouted out from the ground! The bone fragments quickly formed the form of a square shield.
Kohei, who hid behind the shield, breathed out a sigh of relief.
At that moment…
[Rampant Sword. Connection (Inherit)]
[One strike will result in 7 powerful strikes with an additional 30% damage.]
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The first blow shook the shield strongly.
The second blow created a small crack in the shield.
The third blow widened the small crack.
And in the fourth blow, Kohei could hear an ominous sound.
Crack!
And by the fifth blow…
Crumble!
The bone shield was broken into pieces!
Thud!
"Keooob!"
Kohei was struck dumb!
The sword struck on his abdomen and he received plenty of damages in succession.
"Ugh!"
Blood spurted out of his mouth.
Before he could be pushed back any further, Kohei moved his hand that was holding his bloody red sword.
Shwaaaaa!
[The Curse God's Greed for Blood.]
[Exchange your HP with your opponent's HP.]
[Using the Curse God's Greed for Blood will risk all of your stats reducing back to 1.]
However, before Kohei could celebrate, the next notification made his brows furrow further.
[The Curse God's Greed for Blood has failed.]
The Curse God's Greed for Blood could only be used thrice per day. It was both an effective and risky skill.
Kohei once again tried the skill on the Frying Pan Man User in front of him.
[The Curse God's Greed for Blood.]
[Exchange your HP with your opponent's HP.]
[Using the Curse God's Greed for Blood will risk all of your stats reducing back to 1.]
[The Curse God's Greed for Blood has failed.]
'What the hell!'
Now he was sure. All abnormal status and conditions were laid to waste in front of Minhyuk.
'How in the world……!'
He was not sure what he would do after, but he was sure of one thing. If he did not recover now, then he would die with a single slash.
When Minhyuk moved to attack him again, Kohei made a split-second decision and turned his skill towards the soldier beside him.
[The Curse God's Greed for Blood.]
[Exchange your HP with your opponent's HP.]
[All of your stats have been reduced to 1.]
[The exchange was successful.]
"Keuuaaaaack!"
The soldier beside him screamed and rolled on the floor while Kohei's wounds recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"FXcking shXt….."
Kohei's brows furrowed as he made a decision.
In the future, I'll have to find a way to fight without the curses.
His 'The One Who Corrupts' skill was a skill that would rot his opponents skin the moment he touched them. And his 'Curse God's Roar' skill was a skill that would reduce his opponents attack power and hit rate by 40%. But even though he had these great skills, all of them were useless in front of Minhyuk. In other words, Minhyuk was his worst enemy to match up to.
'No, I can still win……!'
In fact, even though all of his skills were taken out, his sheer force would still be at least at Lv280. In truth, his sheer force should be at Lv300 but the Cursed Knight's skills needed a lot of MP so he invested in his WIS for quite a bit. But his raw power was still at Lv280. It was more than enough for him to overpower a man with just his physical strength and skills.
'What's more, he's still low-leveled…….'
If he lost to him, then Kohei wouldn't be able to show his face around anymore.
"Hoo!"
Minhyuk took a deep breath. Varen and Lute were looking straight at him. Before they knew it, they were already released from the Blind Man's Despair.
"Go ahead."
Lute was left speechless when he saw him fight.
'W, what kind of chef is this…….?!'
As soon as he regained his sight, Lute saw Kohei the Cursed Knight. He was quite a well-known figure but Minhyuk was trampling him right now.
'I, I was accompanying some ridiculously strong people……!'
Genie who could keep more than ten archers all on her own and Minhyuk who could easily push back Kohei!
"I understand!"
Lute could also be considered as a high-leveled user. In addition, not many people could follow his arrows and his accuracy was top notch.
He quickly ran away with Varen as the soldiers moved to pursue them.
The moment Minhyuk tried to attack the soldiers…
Clang!
Just as Minhyuk tried to attack the soldiers, Kohei moved to intercept him. Before he could even take another step…
Shwaaaa!
Kohei’s sword quickly slashed at him.
Swoosh!
Vwooom!
A gap was created and Kohei’s sword was able to strike down at him from above.
The moment Minhyuk entered his attacking range, Kohei felt something…
‘I caught you……!’
His sword was the epic grade Sword of Destruction! A direct hit on an armor would even create an armor break effect. However, this sword required the user to have a higher attacking power than the defensive power. But it was still enough to break the defenses and put any armor to pieces.
Once I break his armor, his armor will fall down into pieces and I’ll be able to kill him all at once!
But…
Scratch, scratch, scratch!
The armor did not break apart and only a small line was created on top of it.
‘......How high is this armor’s defensive power?!’
Kohei’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Step.”
Minhyuk quickly narrowed the distance between them. Right now, he could take two steps and attack at the same time.
Kohei was caught in surprise when he saw him move a distance of 1m in a blink of an eye. What was more surprising to him was the sword that stabbed through him in a flash.
Clang!
The first strike was blocked with his amazing reflexes but the second strike was an entirely different matter.
Stab!
“Keuheob!”
Kohei staggered back.
‘Crazy…… Why is he so talented?!’
He fought Rovan quite often so he believed that Minhyuk who defeated him was someone who was easy to trample on if they ever fought. But now that he was fighting him, he realized how great Minhyuk’s talent was.
But he wouldn’t be called Kohei if he faltered here!
A powerful force slowly gathered in his sword.
[Curse God’s Roar!]
[A powerful Ghost’s Curse will pressure the enemy and explode once the attack is successful.]
Huge skeletons popped out behind Kohei that flew up in the air and shot straight towards Minhyuk. Each and every skeleton had weapons like swords, axes, and spears in their hands.
[Kihehehehehehe!]
[Kihihihihihihihihihi!]
Clang, clang!
Clang, clang!
While preventing their attack, a sword flew past Minhyuk’s defences.
At that moment…
Baaaaaang!
A powerful explosion erupted that caused Minhyuk to fly back.
“Kgghk!”
Almost 20% of his HP was cut down in a flash.
The skeletons approached him once again as Kohei narrowed the distance between them.
Baaang!
Another strike flew past his defences and Minhyuk rolled on the floor to negate the effects. Minhyuk hurriedly stood up and used Rampant Sword.
[Rampant Sword.]
[One strike will result in 7 powerful strikes with an additional 35% damage.]
Slash!
Slaaaash!
Slaaaaaash!
The flurry of swords passed through the skeletons. The power behind the sword was so huge that the skeletons couldn’t withstand it. In the end, the skeletons broke down into pieces, scattered in the air and disappeared.
Minhyuk hurriedly took a chocolate bar out of his inventory and ate it.
Fwiiiish!
[Absorption Transition]
[A chance to recover 30~40% of your HP.]
Minhyuk’s body recovered rapidly. After eating the chocolate bar, he exhaled loudly.
‘I should finish this fast.’
His Absorption Transition would not be available for the time being. In addition, he did not know when the enemies would come. And they might even come in droves. Minhyuk had realized that the longer their fight dragged on, the more disadvantageous the situation he was in. Kohei also seemed to realize the same.
Right now, their fight was broadcasted all over the country with plenty of real-time comments flooding in.
[lkvkjk313: Wow, Kohei’s being volleyed! Cider! Kyaa!]
[glfqada: ??? Isn’t Kohei winning?]
[BestSight: Hehehehe. I think he is. But I think that person is the Frying Pan Killer.]
[bqwdl3: fck. The Frying Pan Killer was just in the Shrieking Hills a few days ago. How is he fighting with Kohei now? Can you raise your level by over 80 levels in just a few days?]
And even though the Ares Guild was quite confident in their victory, the other users watching the live broadcast were debating over whether they would win or not.
[bdfklfgfgl: But now that I’ve read what other people thought of. I think he really is the Frying Pan Killer. Right?]
[TingtingTaengTaeng: Yeye. I think he’s the Frying Pan Killer too. There was a screenshot of him being in the Land of Salovs near Raven Village just earlier. I think it was him since he used that Bbiiiiii cry in there.]
[PoopyAnt: Hehehehe, Frying Pan Killer? I think he’s just a high-leveled user who’s cosplaying as the Frying Pan Killer. Does leveling up that fast in a short amount of time even make sense? If he’s really the Frying Pan Killer then I’ll delete my character right now. Hehe. Let’s take a ss right now.]
[Calcal: Oh. I’m taking a ss of the delete character.]
[OleCole: I’m also taking a ss!]
And the two men who did not know anything about the bet…
Kohei prepared for his last strike. Black energy blew out of Kohei’s body as his veins slowly expanded as it began to fill with black blood. His sword also slowly became black. He slashed his sword and a black current flew straight towards Minhyuk.
This was one of Kohei’s most powerful attacks.
[Curse God’s Battle]
[A powerful curse that can destroy everything.]
Shwaaaaaaa!
Minhyuk keenly felt that he would not be able to dodge the speeding black current. He quickly took out the frying pan hanging on his back!
If I can’t avoid it then I will stop it!
[Frying Pan Gigantification.]
[You can adjust the size of your frying pan depending on the mana that you will input.]
Minhyuk’s frying pan turned large enough to cover his body.
The moment the black current and Minhyuk’s frying pan collided…
Baaaang!
A loud sound shook the heavens and earth and a thick amount of dust flew in the air!
Kohei knew…
‘Crazy! I can’t believe that the Curse God’s Battle can’t even break through his frying pan……!’
Usually, if the Curse God’s Battle struck at an artifact, it was just normal for the artifact’s durability to drop to zero all at once. But the man in front of him successfully defended himself with a frying pan.
The moment the black current disappeared…
Shwaaaa!
Minhyuk’s sword pierced through the thick dust flying around and stabbed at Kohei’s abdomen.
Kohei looked down at his bloody abdomen and spat out…
“......FXcker?!”
Then, his body crumbled down.
The battle was finally over.
Minhyuk quickly turned around to follow behind Varen and Lute.
Back to the real-time comments section!
[dgsfad: The frying pan of the Frying Pan Killer becomes gigantic. Certification, done! Yeye.]
[gadfb24: PoopyAnt-nim, you have to delete character. (Photo)]
[zzdwaql235: Here’s a receipt too! (Photo)]
[Kellog: Congratulations~ Delete Character~ Congratulations~ Congratulations on your character’s deletion~]
[CurryTheBest: Character deletion. Congrats, congrats. Receipts needed! You are quite bra…. No. I’ll slap you on the knee! I’ll hit it for you!]
[PoopyAnt: …...OMG?]
The user with the nickname PoopyAnt looked like he was left speechless.
***
PR’s corner!
Sorry pal, you should never, EVER bet against Minhyuk. He will somehow prove you wrong.
