Step, step—
"Kghhk, ugh!"
Genie struggled in Rumad's hold.
When Rumad walked out of the thick blanket of dust, he looked absolutely terrible. One of his arms had disappeared and he was covered with blood all over. But overall, he still looked energetic and ready to fight.
"How dare, how dare you!"
Rumad's eyes were bloodshot with blood and tears running down his face. The sight was completely horrific. It was even more horrific with him holding Genie by the neck.
She thought that this would be the end of them.
'All of the guild members have exhausted their energy…… In the end, will this raid be a failure?'
However, it was a relief that two of her guild members were escorting Valen to where Ellie was.
'It's a relief. We still have kept King Varen safe.'
Genie turned her eyes downwards. She saw Minhyuk spitting out blood from the damage he received from Rumad.
'Minhyukie. You should run away, you got it?'
She had already expected her neck to be broken soon. But at that moment… the wounds on Minhyuk's back recovered rapidly. As soon as his wounds were almost healed, he stood back up.
'H, how……?!'
It was an injury that was impossible to recover from after all!
No, how can he stand up so fast?
Once Minhyuk stood up, he looked like he was brand new. With no wounds and injuries at all.
Behind Rumad, he was holding his sword that was filled with power and was emitting sparks.
***
When Minhyuk suffered from an attack for the first time, he thought…
'That's right, I should just log out like this.'
Then he could naturally hide and run away from his friends again. But when he thought about it deeply, he realized that it was really selfish of him. They seemed like they were looking for him. And in Genie's case, she didn't even forget about him and kept sending him messages for a long time.
In fact he wanted to run away because was afraid. He was an honor student and they were good friends back in middle school. But he suddenly became fat! Would his friends still accept him like they used to when he had been struggling with a rare disease? He ran away before because he was terrified. He was terrified that they would think that he was not the same Minhyuk as before.
However, when he met with them again he realized that he had been extremely selfish. At the very least, he could have told them the truth but he was afraid of what reactions his friends would have so he ran away.
He laid down on the ground and thought about a lot of things.
Then, Rumad grabbed Genie's neck. That was when Minhyuk decided to finally stand up.
'Yeah. If not now…'
If he did not do it now then it seemed like he wouldn't be able to show himself in front of his friends anymore. Perhaps he would remain a coward and they would avoid him in the future.
He used the special ability of the Armor of Immortality.
‘Restore all of my HP and MP.’
[You have used the special ability of the Armor of Immortality.]
[Your HP and MP is recovering at a fast pace.]
His wounds began to heal and recover at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Then, he slowly raised his body up.
It seemed like Rumad was trying to wring Genie’s neck right now.
‘I have to protect the other pig of the two great pigs in the mountains!!!’
Minhyuk’s sword surged with power as he used Ellie’s Swordsmanship. The skill that evolved to the Legendary rank!
Rampant Sword. Connection (Inherit)!
He put all his strength on this attack as he stabbed Rumad’s back.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Rumad received a powerful attack on his back without any defense at all whatsoever. The pain caused him to release his tight hold on Genie’s neck. Without missing a moment, Locke quickly hugged her as he threw their bodies away from Rumad.
Roll, roll.
Rumad’s body staggered as his body began to bleed all over. It seemed like his body was still trying to hold on despite receiving such a tremendous blow.
Fwish!
Swiiiish!
Fwooooosh!
Spurt!
“Keuaaaaaaaaa!”
He screamed roughly but it was still surprising that his body still remained standing. He used almost all of his strength to reach out his remaining hand towards his sword.
Shwaa!
His greatsword was pulled out just by using sheer force.
Rumad’s body looked like a fountain of blood with all of the blood spurting from his body. However, he still slowly turned around and swung his sword at Minhyuk with great strength.
[Rumad’s HP has fallen below 30%.]
[His skill, Roar, is triggered.]
[His stats will temporarily increase by 1.4 times.]
“......Waaa!”
“Goddamn!”
The guild members were struck dumb.
Crazy! We never expected him to have such an ability!
Rumad’s sword finally struck down on Minhyuk who was behind him.
Baaaaang!
Claaaang!
Minhyuk defended himself by raising his sword with both of his hands. However, Rumad’s greatsword attack was so fierce that it turned into a large-scale attack.
Bang! Bang, bang! Bang!
A powerful explosion came from the point of collision!
Minhyuk’s arms twitched and trembled. Rumad’s attack was powered with great strength and Minhyuk’s body was going to be attacked by black sword lights.
Shwaaa!
The black sword lights were already at a close range!
Fwish!
Minhyuk’s chest was cut horizontally and his body was almost cut off in half! Blood spurted out from his chest but Rumad still continued to attack his body.
Swish!
Slash!
Fwoosh!
“Keheob! Keughk!”
Minhyuk groaned loudly as his body tethered and staggered. One of his knees collapsed and folded and he was forced to kneel in pain.
Rumad was quite sure that this bastard would die. Even the guild members that were in the vicinity were quite sure. They might not know about Minhyuk’s exact level but they knew that it wasn’t high. It was already surprising enough that he had endured this long under Rumad’s strikes.
However, at that moment…
Thud!
Minhyuk’s folded knee suddenly straightened and he was standing straight up again.
[He Who Overcomes.]
[Your HP has increased to 1. You are now invincible for 3 seconds.]
[All of your abilities have increased by 30% for 3 seconds.]
“Heok!”
“......C, crazy!”
“Is, is he a person?!”
The guild members, who were not aware of the special skill attached to Ellie’s Sword, were shocked.
“Die, die! Goddamn it, for God’s sake, die!”
As if he had seen a ghost, Rumad used all of his strength to attack Minhyuk.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
He used all of his power on him but he still did not fall down. The same was true for his most powerful skills. None of his attacks left a scratch on Minhyuk’s body. This was the first time that the Imperial Sword Rumad had truly felt ‘fear’.
“I, I’m telling you, please die!”
At that moment, Minhyuk finally moved and used Step. And at the same time…
[Sword of Fury. Shatter (Destroy)]
[There will be an additional 60% for strong lunges and stabs, if a vital strike is successful then the additional attack power will be 100%.]
A strong force was formed and concentrated on the tip of his sword.
“Ugh, aaaaaack!”
Rumad screamed as Minhyuk used Step to stab him on his stomach. He moved so fast that only his afterimage was left.
Spurt!
[You have succeeded in stabbing a vital point.]
[100% additional damage!]
And along with the notification, the force that was concentrated on the tip of his sword exploded.
Baaaaaaaang!
Rumad’s body burst from the powerful explosion and at the same time…
Stagger!
Minhyuk’s body fell down. His remaining HP was exactly 1. He looked up at the sky as he breathed deeply. Then, he spoke slowly.
“Phew. You game geeks can’t even hunt him.”
Then he grinned.
Genie, Locke and Khan laughed at his absurdity.
Then, Locke asked him…
“What’s your level……?”
“221.”
“......”
Everyone around him was left speechless.
Then, a series of notifications rang in Minhyuk’s ears.
[You have hunted the Imperial Sword Rumad.]
[You have acquired the Title: The Man Who Hunted One of the Most Powerful Men.]
[You have gained 200 reputation points.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[......leveled up.]
Minhyuk heard the constant ringing of notifications however, it did not register to him at all. It might have been hard but he was really not interested in leveling up. He just took the chocobar out of his inventory and bit on it little by little.
[Absorption Transition]
[A chance to recover 30~40% of your HP.]
His wounds began to heal rapidly.
No one had ever seen such an absurd recovering ability. His wounds were definitely something that couldn’t be healed with just a skill but they could see a tremendous healing and recovery speed.
“Wow. It’s a human troll……”
Ace couldn’t help but mumble to himself when he saw such an absurd scene.
Then, Minhyuk sat up and began bandaging himself.
“Bandage wrapping!”
[You have achieved the best bandage wrap.]
[The wound recovery has an additional 5% increase.]
[The recovery time has increased and became faster.]
He wrapped himself in a bandage and peeled it off after a while. When the bandage was removed, most of his wounds had already healed.
The members of the Legend Guild shook their heads in defeat as if they had no more energy left to spare just to feel surprised.
Meanwhile, Minhyuk saw the gold and artifacts that fell near Rumad. He approached it and picked them up.
[You have gained 50.2 billion gold.]
[You have acquired the Skill Book: Intangible Sword.]
[You have acquired Rumad’s Demon Sword.]
[You have acquired Rumad’s Golden Treasure Box (Event).]
[Everyone who participated in Rumad’s raid will receive the Golden Treasure Box.]
“Huh?! A golden treasure box!”
“Ooooooh. Get out!”
“Kyaaa!”
“I think it’s a reward for all of the raid participants?”
Then, Khan said…
“I, I also got it!”
Perhaps the standard for receiving the treasure box was being subjected to Rumad’s Extreme Fear. In other words, it was everyone who was considered to be his enemies.
Genie approached Minhyuk who was already healed and properly stretched.
“Hey!”
“......”
“You damn punk.”
“......Yeah.”
Minhyuk nodded his head in shame. Even if he had ten mouths with him, he still would have nothing to say. Then, Khan and Locke approached them. Khan sighed as he looked at Locke.
‘This punk……’
Will he say something bad again? After all he was the one who always said to stop looking for Minhyuk every time. He even told us that he wouldn’t care even if he’s trapped deep under water.
He saw him approach Minhyuk with a grin as his fists clenched tightly.
‘No way. Is he going to beat him up?!’
Then…
Large droplet of tears fell from Locke’s eyes.
“Heuuuuuung. Minhyuk-ah. It’s been a long time. Hwiiiiik!”
“OMG?”
“Eh?”
Khan and Genie tilted their heads in confusion. The same was true for Minhyuk.
Locke suddenly hugged Minhyuk tightly! Minhyuk’s armor was soaked in his tears.
“Keuhuhuhuhuk!”
Then, after sobbing loudly he stretched his hands out.
“Ah. Give me your hand Minhyuk-ah.”
“......?”
Minhyuk gave him his hand. Then, at that moment, Locke blew his nose loudly using his hand.
“Ah. That feels better.”
“This bitc……”
“Heuuuuung!”
Locke began crying again and Minhyuk patted him on the back subconsciously. Of course, he did not forget to rub the mucus on his back.
“Wow. Look at Locke-nim crying……”
“He looks ugly when he cries. So ugly…… I hate it.”
Locke stopped crying when he heard those words as his expression seemed like it was saying ‘Hmph, hmph.’.
Khan and Genie grinned at this unexpected(?) twist. Minhyuk also grinned.
The air around them had become lighter.
“Let’s check the artifact’s information first and have a reunion later.”
They weren’t the only ones in this place, there were also the other guild members.
Minhyuk nodded his head as he checked the information. He first clicked on the skill book.

TL’s corner!!!
Finally. I have had a hard time putting into words the action and everything. But I’m glad that I’m done with that part. Also… So glad that the four of them have reunited. Yayy!
PR’s corner!
At last! The promised reunion. I really liked how Minhyuk had to face his fears and step forward.
