Before the Crazy Hunter or Suicidal Rovan had realized it, he was already at Lv360. A level that was much higher than Minhyuk’s level. And he even used Berserker’s Madness as soon as he entered Valhalla Territory.
It’s a skill that removes 5 points from all of my basic stats and does not allow me to gain EXP for 3 days straight!
But in exchange for such a huge penalty, he was able to raise all of his abilities by 50%. And with this much strength, Rovan believed that he was in a position where he considered himself to be strong enough to not fall behind the rest of his guild.
But this damned stone lion’s defense is too high.
Plop, plop, plop!
It was too difficult to penetrate through its defenses. Even though his greatsword had struck it strongly, only a pile of stones were removed from its body. And it seemed like his strike did not cause too much of a damage because its defense was too high.
At that moment, he heard a familiar sound.
“Bbiiiiiiiiiiii!”
[Gryphon’s Cry.]
[Guild Member Minhyuk’s buffing ability had resulted in a 15% increase in all five basic stats.]
“It’s been a long time, right?”
Rovan could clearly remember this cry. It was the sound that he had frequently heard in the past when they were hunting in the Shrieking Hills. And it was that time when the man called Crazy Hunter Rovan had grown fed up with hunting! And that was also the time when he had suffered in defeat. But right now, Rovan was quite confident.
I even used Berserker’s Madness right now, you know?
Although he was not able to kill the stone lion, it was not because he was weak but because it had such a high defense. Even now, the great Kaistra couldn’t even break through the defenses of the stone lions. It seemed like their defense was at least at 4,500. The stone lions were acting as tankers while Baphomet was shooting magic from the back. This was the reason why they could easily jump around them.
Then, he remembered what Locke had told him a while ago.
‘I already told you that I went to the Time Attack Dungeon with Minhyuk not too long ago, right?’
‘But you know, when I played the game with Minhyuk I suddenly missed my mom.’
‘Eh?’
Rovan was taken aback with his words but Locke did not say anything else after that. It was as if he was sure that he would know about it sooner or later.
‘Why did you turn on the aggro? You can’t handle everything.’
Rovan thought that he should hurry and support Minhyuk when he saw him drawing the aggro.
And when he turned around, he saw Minhyuk. It was a reunion that was long overdue. He could see that he had changed a lot. He was currently wearing a rugged helmet, an old cloak, and bone armor with a baby pig on his shoulder.
Not long after, around six to eight stone lions flocked to where he was. There were even at least 20 Anubis that came running towards him.
‘Eeek! I should go help him!’
Before Rovan could move to help him, Minhyuk suddenly moved his sword. He saw sword lights scattering from his sword as it pierced a creature one by one. It was the Rampant Sword, one of the most common wide-area sword skills. It was a skill that would unfurl a flurry of swords that would swing and slash indiscriminately.
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!
Rovan’s eyes couldn’t help but widen in shock when he saw such a scene.
“Heok……!”
The thick hide of the stone lion that none of the Legend Guild could penetrate through was beginning to crack and tear apart. Then……
Bang! Bang! Baaaang!
They began to fall one by one as blood began to spurt out from the bodies of the stone lions that they had initially believed to have their insides still made out of stones.
But that was not the end yet. Flowers made out of sword blades bloomed on the ground as it engulfed the stone lions with a huge explosion.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The members of Legend Guild who were struggling to hunt the stone lions earlier all turned to look at Minhyuk. And Rovan, who was already under the effects of Berserker’s Madness and was still struggling while fighting against one, looked far away. He could now understand what Locke felt that day.
“......Dad, I miss you.”
He liked his dad better than his mom after all.
***
Minhyuk breathed deeply as he held his sword tightly.
There was only one reason why Minhyuk could hunt the stone lions easily compared to the other guild members. It was all thanks to his ‘Intangible Sword’. In the first place, the HP and attack power of the stone lions were not that high. They were only there to act as tankers because their defenses were too high that no one could break through their defenses easily.
But after he used the Blooming Sword with hundreds of sword blades exploding as well as the Rampant Sword that could indiscriminately attack the enemies for nine straight seconds he was sure that they would not be able to escape the Intangible Sword. And in the end, they fell down and exploded.
At that moment, Minhyuk’s sight was suddenly drawn to one spot. When Baphomet entered his sight, the same notifications that Legend Guild had heard also rang in Minhyuk’s ears.
[The Demon World’s 7th Demonic Monster, Baphomet has appeared!]
[Pharaoh is not Baphomet’s Attributed Summoner.]
[If you’re able to successfully hunt Baphomet, you will be the first to receive the Demon World’s rewards.]
‘First to receive the Demon World’s rewards?’
He believed that it would be something delicious if he would be the first to receive it. At that moment, Baphomet looked at Minhyuk warily. He was the person who easily hunted down the stone lions. Baphomet raised its staff as black mana erupted from it and wrapped around Minhyuk.
“Eumeeeeeeeeeh!”
[The Demonic Monster’s Curse.]
[Your Physical Attack has been reduced by 40%.]
[Your Physical Defense has been reduced by 40%.]
[Your Magical Attack has been reduced by 40%.]
[Your Magical Defense has been reduced by 40%.]
[Your skills’ cooldown duration has increased by 20%.]
[You have an invincible body that can ignore and resist all abnormal states.]
[You have resisted an abnormal state.]
And along with those notifications, another unexpected notification rang in his ears.
[A Demonic Monster.]
[Special Privileges are applied depending on the Holy Power Stat.]
[The x2 increase of Holy Power due to Pandora’s Helmet’s special effect has been applied. Your attacking and defensive power against Demonic Monsters has increased by 100%.]
pαndα noνɐ1,сoМ “......?”
Minhyuk was somewhat surprised.
It’s not only applied to the undead but even to Demonic Monsters?
When he thought about it deeply, he realized that the contents and information about Demonic Monsters, Demon World and Demon Race were still not yet opened and shared in Athenae.
But in the first place, aren’t the opposite of beings with holy power the beings living in the Demon World?
But what was more important was that Baphomet, who was standing in front of him, was shining a black light.
[Ingredients that can be obtained from Baphomet.]
[Shoulder bone, frenched rack, sirloin, tenderloin…… omitted.]
Just like what he expected, it was something that he could eat.
Minhyuk saw Locke taking advantage of Baphomet’s carelessness. He saw him approaching and launching an attack on Baphomet’s shoulders.
Shing, shing, shing!
But a black shield sprung up and blocked his attack!
Shing!
Crash!
Slash!
“Meeeeeeh!”
Baphomet raised his staff which resulted in Locke bouncing off of him.
Roll, roll, roll, roll.
“Keuheek!”
Locke rolled down with a sound that strangely resembled the cry of a drying frog. And at that moment, Minhyuk could see that Baphomet’s shoulder was regenerating and recovering at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
“......?!”
Minhyuk’s foodie antenna was suddenly triggered.
“I, I wouldn’t have to worry about getting lamb meat for the rest of my life……!”
He decided to capture it and get lamb meat from it.
Then, won’t he recover naturally? It means that I can get lamb meat again! This is what they literally call creative economy! But how can I capture it?
At that moment, he remembered his ‘Allurer’s Cooking Skill’. But Minhyuk couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
‘Kgggghk! If it’s more than 100 levels higher than mine then it’s not possible!’
Oh my god!
This was the moment that Minhyuk felt sorry that he could not get lamb meat that was as amazing as an infinitely refillable beef. Minhyuk shook the sad thought out of his head.
I can’t help it so I should just be satisfied with the lamb chops, lamb steaks and lamb skewers that I can get with these delicious lamb meat for now!
Dash!
Minhyuk moved like the wind.
The Legend Guild members were currently on the defensive! So they were quite relieved when all the stone lions died.
“Minhyuk-ah, it’s dangerous!”
“That punk is strong!”
The guild members were concerned about his safety. They did not know about Minhyuk’s invincibility so they believed that Minhyuk was under the power of the debuff after being invaded by the black mana. They were also unaware that holy power could work against Demonic Monsters. If they did not consider those things then Minhyuk was actually no different from the regular guild members right now.
But Minhyuk was still running forward!
Baphomet slammed his staff on the ground and aimed towards Minhyuk.
Crackle!
A ball of fire, a flash of lightning, and a blade of wind that could tear everything apart were shot straight towards Minhyuk.
[Frying Pan Gigantification.]
[You can adjust the size of your frying pan depending on the mana that you will input.]
His frying pan grew large as Minhyuk used it to block his path forward.
Bang! Clang, clang!
[Magical Reflection.]
[You have returned the magical attack back to your enemy.]
One of the spells bounced off. Baphomet swung its staff as it created a black shield in front of itself.
Bang!
The magic spell was easily blown away by the black shield. Minhyuk gestured at him with his right hand as he placed his frying pan behind him again.
“......He got guts.”
“Is he Bruce Lee?”
The guild members looked at him in embarrassment. After Minhyuk finished doing his ‘come on’ gesture, he continued to run forward.
Dash!
“Meeeeeeeeeeeh!”
Baphomet became furious when he saw Minhyuk’s provocation. Dozens of various magic emerged around him before flying straight towards Minhyuk.
Shwaaaaak!
Shwwaaaaaaaak!
Shwaaaaaaaaaak!
“Cr, crazy……!”
“Why did you even provoke it!!!”
The guild members were all shocked. They knew that even if Baphomet’s low-leveled magic attack struck on him then he would be forced to log out in one fell swoop.
At that exact instant, Minhyuk saw the magic attacks arrive in front of his very nose. There were various magical attacks ranging from wide-area skills to normal magic.
“Like the Wind.”
In one step, he quickly narrowed the distance of three meters.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
A huge amount of magical attacks poured down from the sky and completely missed him. But Baphomet was not a fool. It had prepared a second layer of magic in advance in case he had escaped from the flurry of magical attacks that he had sent first.
“Kong-ah!”
“Oink!”
[Absolute Defense.]
[No attack will be allowed to touch Kongie and his master for two seconds.]
The special skill that was attached in Hepas’ Pot Lid had been activated.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
A huge amount of magical attacks had hit the place where Minhyuk stood.
“Heok!”
“Keuheok, that’s why I told you, you shouldn’t have done that……”
“Mi, Minhyuk-nim……”
The guild members bit their lips in frustration as they looked at the cloud of dust that rose from the attacks.
At that moment……
Puhaaaaaaa!
Minhyuk came out of the dust. And Kongie, who was grabbing Minhyuk’s cloak tightly, also came out with him. There two of them came out without a scratch on their bodies.
Dash!
Minhyuk flew up! And Kongie who was holding tightly on his cloak also flew behind Baphomet.
“Sword of Fury.”
“Oiink!”
Kongie also used his flipper blade.
Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!
“Ah, look at the chemistry of the daddy pig and the baby pig!”
Locke couldn’t help but shout when he saw the two of them attack and hit Baphomet at the same time.
“Meeeeeeeeeh!”
***
[I, I wouldn’t have to worry about getting lamb meat for the rest of my life……!]
Lee Minhwa and Team Leader Park were both watching the monitor together. Just a moment ago, they heard Minhyuk say such words. Lee Minhwa stared blankly at the monitor before speaking up.
“Te, Team Leader-nim……!”
“What?”
“User Minhyuk just said that he wouldn’t worry about getting lamb meat for the rest of his life……”
“His greatest ambition right now is to tame it using the Allurer’s Cooking Skill and collect lamb meat for free(?) for the rest of his life. But you know that it’s not possible if their levels have a gap of more than 100, right? Look, look. User Minhyuk might have recalled this fact too. Doesn’t he look so disappointed? In fact, even if he took a Demonic Monster with him, wouldn’t it be funny if he treated it as a ‘lamb meat extractor’? Right now he has the Ghost Barista Ben and the God of Dishwashing Kaistra. He’s already completely absurd.”
Team Leader Park let out a flurry of remarks. After pondering over his words, Lee Minhwa said……
“Th, that…… It’s funny but I think it would be a reality.”
“Huh?”
“The reward for being the first to hunt a Demonic Monster……”
“Yeah. But what does it have to do with…… Heok?!”
Team Leader Park’s eyes trembled wildly at the thought.
The reward for being the first to hunt a Demonic Monster!
With regards to hunting Demonic Monsters, the first reward was extremely valuable. And one of the rewards was……
‘Weaker Baphomet Summoning Stone……!”
What if he used that summoning stone?
“If User Minhyuk succeeds in this hunt…… will he say ‘Let me get some lamb meat from you’ to Baphomet who’s next to him every day……? No, I don’t think he will do such a cruel thing……”
“He’ll do it. If it’s User Minhyuk then he’ll do it.”
“......Yeah.”
Then, their sights drifted back to the monitor again. It was the moment when Kongie and Minhyuk were hitting Baphomet together. Looking at the scene in the monitor, Lee Minhwa couldn’t help but get goosebumps. She thought……
‘Ba, Baphomet…… I feel a bit sorry for you……’
At this rate, Baphomet will really become an infinitely refilling lamb meat machine.
***
Stab!
Baphomet saw the blade stabbing straight at its abdomen. At that same moment, Minhyuk heard a notification.
[You have succeeded in stabbing a vital point.]
[100% additional damage!]
Then, a powerful force condensed at the tip of his sword which triggered a powerful explosion.
Bang!
But it was not the end.
[Lightning (Thunderbolt)]
[Three Lightning Strikes.]
Crack, crack, crack!
A spark formed and spread before striking over Baphomet’s head.
Bang, bang, bang!
A powerful lightning strike engulfed its entire body.
