Chapter 255: Territorial Defence (Bottom)
…magic rained down on Rhond.
“Keuaaaack!”
Rhond was blown away by the huge impact. When Minhyuk turned around, he saw Black Mage Ali.
“Frieeeeeeend!!”
Ali raised his left arm that had an X drawn on it, and smiled cheerfully at him. Seeing his raised arm, Minhyuk also raised his arm that had an X on it, high up in the sky.
“Frieeeeeeend!!”
Meanwhile, Black Dragon looked at them impressed.
‘Isn’t that so cool!!!’
“Frieeeeend!!!”
“Frieeeeeeeeend!!!”
Black Dragon and the Boys also raised their left arms and shouted along after seeing them. The members of Legend Guild hesitated for a moment when they saw what they did.
‘Shit… I’m, I’m so embarrassed.’?
‘Ca…calling out frieeeend…’?
‘Uhmm…’?
When Ascar raised her arm, the rest of them raised their arms one by one.
“Frieeeeeeeeeend!!!”
The tides of war were changing.
When Minhyuk turned to look back at the battlefield, he saw Prince Argon firing an arrow that split into hundreds of arrows, easily sweeping through the enemies. In addition, the ancient soldiers, together with the 150 knights, were all actively fighting against the enemies. However, they were still plagued by a huge horde of enemies.
Minhyuk did not hold back at all when dealing with Rhond, the Bone Dragon Lord, and the hundreds of enemies that were rushing towards him from behind them.
“Fluttering Sword.”
Fluttering Sword first created hundreds of silver falling leaves. When Minhyuk moved his sword, the hundreds of blade-like leaves rushed towards the Bone Dragon Lord and Rhond, before sweeping through the enemies that were further behind them.
Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh—
It did not just stop there. Thanks to the 60% reduction in skill buffer, Minhyuk was able to use his AOE attack skills quite rapidly.
Blooming Sword.
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—!
In no time at all, the hundreds of demons and demonic beasts that flocked towards them died.
Meanwhile, the commentators were shouting in excitement.
[Ah!!! Upon his arrival, the Frying Pan Killer took down the Bone Dragon Lord and the Slayer of Death. He even wiped out the hundreds of surging demons and demonic beasts!!!]
[It’s amazing!!! But, if he used all his skills in the beginning, then won’t he be at a disadvantage in this large-scale war?]
Then, the notifications rang in Minhyuk’s head.
[You have hunted the largest amount of demons and demonic beasts in the shortest amount of time.]
[You have acquired an additional 40,000 Contribution Points.]
[You have successfully hunted the Slayer of Death.]
[You have gained 4,162,031 EXP.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have acquired 340,501 Contribution Points.]
[You have acquired Death’s Crystal Ball.]
[You have successfully hunted the Bone Dragon Lord.]
[You have acquired the Bone Dragon Lord’s Sturdy Bone (5kg).]
[You have acquired 151,167 Contribution Points.]
[You have acquired 54 platinum.]
That was when Minhyuk realized something, ‘The Slayers are not affected by my holy power at all.’
In other words, Minhyuk would not gain any additional bonus attack or defense against the demonic humans and the undead. The reason for this was simple. It was because they were creatures that were created by Rufel and thus, did not possess any demonic energy.
Then…
[The silver and sparkling hellhounds have appeared once more!]
[Hundreds of hellhounds are running again!]
[Aaaaaah! Player Minhyuk! Are you going to be forced to log out as soon as you appear?!]
[The silver hellhounds have extremely high defensive power!]
[No matter what, they are creatures that are not easy to hunt!]
[At this moment, Black Mage Ali had descended from the sky to talk to Player Minhyuk!]
“It’s been a long time,” Ali said.
Minhyuk reached for Ali’s hands and clasped them tightly. He said, “Thanks. Thank you for protecting my guild and my dad.”
“I just did what I could do.”
Ali grinned at him. Then, Minhyuk handed him a sheet of ‘Elf’s Character HP, MP, Skill Cooldown Reset Parchment’. Fortunately, this item could be transferred. Ali needed this item the most at this critical juncture.
“Wow. There’s such a great item like this…?”
At that time, Minhyuk saw hundreds of flashing silver hellhounds. Ali quickly explained to him what they were like. After listening to his explanation, Minhyuk pondered for a moment before speaking.
.
“Let’s get them first. Please prepare a barrier.”
“A barrier? Not an AOE attack magic?”Ali asked, looking at him curiously.
“I’ll explain it in a bit…”
Right now, the hellhounds were running furiously towards them. Meanwhile, the members of Legend Guild, as well as Black Dragon and the Boys had yet to complete their rest and skills cooldown.
Bbbiiiiiiiiiiii—
Minhyuk ran out while using the Gryphon’s Cry. Hundreds of silver hellhounds changed their direction as they ran towards Minhyuk.
Gallop— gallop!
Just in time, Beanie, who was riding on top of the white horse, arrived near him. Minhyuk hurriedly jumped on the horse, as he started to ride away, kiting the hundreds of silver hellhounds.
***
The viewers were leaving comments quickly.
[Legend Guild and Black Dragon and the Boys faced off against the silver hellhounds earlier. They were barely able to deal with them after using their strongest skills. What’s he going to do?]
[What can the Frying Pan Killer do? How can he get that number? He just used all of his skills earlier, but he was only able to do so since he can handle the defenses of the demons and demonic monsters. Those guys’ defenses are on a completely different level.]
[Will the Frying Pan Killer ride on his white horse as he runs with hundreds of mobs and hellhounds following him towards the end of the world? Hehehehehe.]
PD Kim Dae-Guk also looked at the viewers’ comments seriously.
He knew that the Frying Pan Killer’s appearance was spectacular, but the million-dollar question was what he would do with the hundreds of hellhounds. Minhyuk continued to circle around the area as he kited the hundreds of silver hellhounds.
“Can he kill them…?”
“…How can he kill them? Legend Guild was only able to deal with them after using their one-shot skill. Everything will be over if Player Minhyuk is caught just once. Imagine being caught in such a mob after doing something completely reckless.”
Everyone thought of the same thing. Just as they were mocking Minhyuk, one of the black kitchen knives that were circling around Minhyuk’s body appeared in front of him.
“Skill casting?”
The PD tilted his head in confusion. When he thought about it, he had never seen a black kitchen knife before. Then, at that moment…
Minhyuk started to shout something. At the same time, Black Mage Ali quickly descended before grabbing him and climbing high up in the sky again.
***
‘What the hell are you thinking?’?Ali thought as he prepared to cast a barrier.
Minhyuk had asked him to use Fly and take him high up in the sky. Hearing his shout, Ali quickly descended and grabbed Minhyuk before flying up again.
“Please go towards the center of those guys.”
“What? Over there?”
Ali glanced down and saw hundreds of silver hellhounds scattered around as they stared at Minhyuk and Minhyuk alone.
However, Ali did what he was told. Once they came to the center, Minhyuk said, “Please drop me.”
“Wh…what?”
“Quick. Ali, I believe you!”
“…I don’t really know anymore!” Ali said, letting go of his tight hold on Minhyuk.
At the same time, Minhyuk fell down in the center of the hellhounds rapidly.
[Th…the Frying Pan Killer has descended in the middle of hundreds of hellhounds!!!]
[What in the world is he thinking?! They will detonate as soon as they get touched!!!]
[Their explosive power is extremely tremendous. I’m sure that we will not even be able to find the shape of the Frying Pan Killer in the aftermath!]
[Huuuuuuh? But what is that?!]
[A kitchen knife?!]
Then, a kitchen knife appeared near the descending Minhyuk. It was a skill that had never been seen by any of the commentators and viewers. Meanwhile, the hundreds of hellhounds bared their teeth towards the falling Minhyuk.
“Grrrrrrrr!”
“Roaaaar!”
“Kyaaaaack!”
With his fall, a light flashed in the sky as a black knife accurately struck the head of one of the hellhounds.
“Kiheeeeeeek!”
Hundreds of kitchen knives started to rain down as soon as the hellhound collapsed.
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—
[M…magnificent!]
[The kitchen knives that rained down from the sky stabbed through the bodies of the hellhounds!]
[Ah. Player Minhyuk has landed on the ground! The hellhounds that had perceived their deaths had started to explode one by one!]
The creatures seemed to have awareness as they started to explode all by themselves. Since they had awareness, they believed that it would be smart if they could die together with their enemy. Anyway, they somehow knew they would die, so it was a smart move for them to drag their enemy down with them.
The hellhounds began to crowd together as they trampled on each other to get to the middle of the encirclement. They continued to swarm towards Minhyuk amidst the raining kitchen knives, so tightly compressed that they even damaged their own allies when they exploded.
Once the dust had settled, Ali and Minhyuk could be seen inside a protective circle.
[Ah. When did Ali get there?]
[He used Blink! That’s such a crazy control! It was definitely done in just a flash…!]
[His aggro skill had driven the mobs towards the middle. He then allowed them to flock towards where he was. Next, he attacked the gathered mobs with his raining kitchen knives, which caused them to explode, allowing him to hunt the rest of the hellhounds.]
[I believe Player Minhyuk could tell that the hellhounds had awareness and that they would try to explode and kill him in the process. And it’s also impossible to attack when he’s in the barrier, so that skill that he used towards the end was done right before the barrier was erected.]
[It’s an extremely formidable strategy. I can’t believe the control that both Players Ali and Minhyuk have. How many players in our country can execute such a strategy in just a matter of seconds?]
[That’s not all. Their chemistry is extremely great. I’m sure the viewers of our country will be amazed by the fantastic chemistry that Mage Ali, our country’s top mage, and Player Minhyuk, our country’s top close combatant, had shown us!]
[Ah. The hellhounds failed to recognize this fact and they still continued to explode themselves!]
[The Barrier is the best magic for this situation. They will be invincible while they stay inside!]
The hellhounds that kept on exploding finally felt that there was something strange. They found out that their explosions were meaningless.
At that moment, Minhyuk spoke, “Ali, dissolve the barrier.”
“Yes? Ah, I understand.”
Ali had always believed in Minhyuk, so he did what he was asked. As soon as the barrier disappeared, Minhyuk’s kitchen knife went up in the sky once more.
Shwaaaaaaaaa—
It was none other than his skill Rain of Kitchen Knives that he had kept using his ‘Save’ skill.
[I…is it possible to use that skill again?]
[C…crazy…!]
Then, the hundreds of kitchen knives in the air stabbed and caused the remaining hellhounds to explode. At the same time, Ali grabbed Minhyuk as they flew high up in the sky.
“Nice timing! As expected of Ali! You have no hesitations at all.”
“Ha…hahaha…” Ali just laughed awkwardly at his words.
With that, all of the silver hellhounds had been wiped out by the Rain of Kitchen Knives.
[…]
[…]
The commentators were lost for words for a moment. It was not just them. Even the members of Legend Guild, as well as Black Dragon and the Boys, were left speechless.
“…”
“…”
“…”
They were barely able to hunt one, but Minhyuk swept them away so easily before quickly moving to Philip Village.
“Hello, everyone?”
“Huh, oh. R…right.”
“Y…you’ve come?”
“Hahahaha. H…hello?”
Minhyuk greeted them politely, just like he usually did before looking around Philip Village. Thankfully, the village was still well and alive, since only the outer walls had disappeared.
Then, Minhyuk took out the Elven Heart, which had the appearance of a rough stone, from his inventory. When he placed it down on the floor, the notifications continued to ring.
[The Elven Heart can be applied to Philip Village.]
[Would you like to use it?]
“Yes.”
The Elven Heart immediately penetrated through the ground as soon as Minhyuk agreed to the notification. This was a military weapon that was created by the three Elven Chiefs.
At that moment, the members of Legend Guild and Black Dragon and the Boys heard a sound.
Ba… dump—
It was the sound of a beating heart.
[Wh…where did that mysterious sound come from?]
[It sounded like the heartbeat of a giant heart.]
Then, the sound began to grow louder.
Badump, badump, badump, badump, badump, badump—
The sound was loud enough to fill the entire battlefield.
Then…
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The commentators were shocked when they heard loud banging sounds ringing so suddenly.
[Wh…what’s that?!!!]
[Gasp…!!!]
