Chapter 271: Curse of Baldness
The boy’s body trembled. He said, “Y…you’re correct… Gasp… A…amazing!!! Genius!!! Wow!!!”
The boy raised his thumb at him in approval, his expression one of genuine admiration.
“Fufufufufu.?He’s really a moron.”
“Then, is it ansungtangtangmyeon or sshin ramyeon?”
“Ramyeon is not good for you, punk.”
The boy’s lips were upturned as he threw the chopsticks that were in his hands.
“You’re wrong!!! All ramyeon are delicious!!!”
Ruben thought that the kid was just joking around but at that moment…
Spurt―
…the chopsticks stabbed through his throat before he could even finish his thoughts.
[Your vital point has received an attack.]
[It was a critical hit.]
“Ugh!!”
Ruben grabbed the chopsticks stuck in his neck. However, no matter how hard he pulled, they remained stuck. The notifications rang at the same time.
[You have been attacked by a Unicorn’s Weapon.]
[You will not be able to pull out the weapon easily.]
‘Th…this is a Unicorn’s Weapon?’
‘A unicorn is a legendary monster… But you’re telling me that this wooden chopstick is a Unicorn’s Weapon?’
Then, Conir shook his hand.
Swoooooooosh―
Blood spurted out of Ruben’s neck as the chopsticks got pulled out. His HP was reduced by as much as 40% in just that one attack.
“Keuheok! Th…this is impossible…!” Ruben shouted in shock at the ridiculous situation.
“This goddamned crazy punk!!!” Debuff Hunter Rochan shouted as he pulled out his hammer and slammed it on the ground.
Baaaaaang―
[Debuff Hammer]
[All the abilities of the single specified target will be reduced by 30% after being slammed with the shockwaves from the hammer.]
The ground was riddled with cracks, as black energy flooded straight toward the boy.
At that moment, the shape of the bloody wooden chopsticks suddenly changed once they returned to the boy’s hands, turning into a landing net.
“…?”
“…?”
“…?”
The three players were all at a loss for words. The boy then dashed forward, staring at the debuff hammer that was aiming at him while singing a song happily.
“Hururup chap, chap! Hururup chap, chap!?Yummy ramyeon! Curly, curly, yummy ramyeon!”
This was a song sung by a black man named Nichol in Grown Up Dinosaur Dooly.
Rochan said, “This crazy punk…!”
Then…
[Frustration’s Sword Dance]
[All of the players that have seen the Slayer’s dance will have their attacks nullified as they fall into frustration and breakdown.]
The black mist-like energy that was flowing out of the cracked ground slowly disappeared.
“…OMG?”
“…Crazy!”
They were rendered speechless. Things did not end there. When the boy wielded his landing net, powerful strength flowed from the tight holes of the net and formed black sword lights that flooded straight toward them.
“Sh…shit…!”
“Th…that’s not even a sword, that’s a landing net?!!”
All of them were astonished.
Rochan quickly moved. In his “Debuff Warrior’s Hammer”, there was a top-notch skill that could invalidate and nullify the attacks that would hit him all at once. However, just as he was about to raise his hammer to block the sword lights…
Shweeeeeeeeek!
…the trajectory of the sword lights suddenly changed and stabbed his entire body.
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab―
“Keuhaaaaaaack!” Rochan shrieked loudly. Debuff hunters were classes that had higher HPs compared to the average classes, but at that moment, his HP had dropped by 50%.
Then, Conir’s landing net had changed its form once again. This time, it became a pair of tongs. His artifact kept on changing its form because it was the ‘Unicorn’s Mysterious Weapon’ that Minhyuk had gifted him not too long ago. The Unicorn’s Mysterious Weapon was one of the three artifacts that Minhyuk had selected from the Emperor Asvon’s Treasure Room.
(Unicorn’s Mysterious Weapon)
Rank: Legendary
Requirements: Vassal
Attack: 851
Special Abilities:
?A 16% increase in all five basic stats.
?Can change into the weapon that the user wants.
?The user’s skills and abilities will be expressed and transformed to suit the form that the artifact changes into.
?If the vassal’s HP drops below 10%, the vassal will be automatically summoned back to the vassal room.
?Active Skill: Unicorn’s Wrath.
Description: A legendary weapon acquired from Emperor Asvon’s Treasure Room. The Unicorn is Collodis Empire’s guardian deity. It transforms into the weapon that the user wants. In addition, the skills of the player will be transformed to suit the changed form of the weapon.
There were quite a few skills that would become unavailable or available, depending on the artifacts that were worn by the player. For example, it was common for someone with a sword skill to use a sword. Of course, there were also special cases where there were not any requirements in particular too.
Alas, just a few moments ago, Conir’s landing net had expressed the power of a swordsmanship skill, the Reckless Child. It even released dozens of sword lights when he swung it.
“Do you put cheese or rice cake in ramyeon?”
The three of them hurriedly turned towards their chatting window as they watched the boy slowly approaching them.
[Party Chat | Ruben: I’ll use Burning Spider.]
[Party Chat | Rochan: Then, I’ll use Reckless Hunter.]
[Party Chat | Jing Chao: Okay, I’ll use Poison King’s Continuous Kills.]
The three of them shook their heads in unison. They did not know who the punk was, or what the hell he was, but they were sure that they had to use their strongest single attack skill to take him down.
“Huh? Do you put cheese or rice cake in it?”
“Of course it’s cheese for ramyeon!!!” Ruben screamed as he pulled out his revolver.
White light formed at the tip of his revolver before bursting out of the barrel, forming a white sphere that exploded in the air and formed a net. Once this net was cast, all of the skills that were being used would be controlled.
Clack―
Ruben also took out another revolver and fired it at Conir to make sure that he did not avoid the net.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang―
Sparks flew off of his gun as dozens of bullets got fired off. However, the boy just ran as he shouted, “Wrong. You can put both in!!!”
“Crazy. You f*cking bastard! This is your end!!!”
The boy was rushing forward to escape the influence of the spider web-like net. In the end, the boy was pierced with the bullets and turned into a hive. However, that was what Ruben thought he saw. The boy’s body was filled with unimaginable force.
Then, the boy triggered his skill.
[Sword Saint’s Invincibility]
[Returns 80~90% of the damage inflicted by the enemies. Lasts up to 15 minutes. There’s also a 5% chance of achieving a 10~13% recovery rate once the enemy attacks.]
The Burning Spider that Ruben had sent towards the rushing boy had become completely useless. Just when he expected that the boy would die from the dozens of bullets that he had fired…
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang―
“Urkkk!”
…Gunner Ruben’s body flew backward. It was as if he was the one that received dozens of bullets, instead of the boy. He could also see his HP falling at a rapid pace. When Ruben looked at the rushing boy, he could see that his body was recovering rapidly from the bullets that he had fired at him.
‘Th…this is crazy…!’
By the end of it…
[Party Chat: Ruben has been forced to log out.]
Rather than despairing at the fact that their party member, Ruben, had been forced to log out, the remaining two were busy thinking about ways to survive this ordeal.
‘What the hell is that skill?’
They saw Ruben hit the body of his enemy, but there was little to no damage. On the contrary, it was Ruben who was forced to log out after attacking him. Of course, Ruben had already been stabbed at the neck by the chopsticks earlier, so his HP was a lot lower than normal, but what was more appalling was the fact that the boy’s wounds were rapidly recovering.
“This, wh…what the hell did you do, you bastard!!!” Jing Chao shouted as he used his Poison King’s Continuous Kills towards the boy, who was dashing fiercely toward them with his tongs.
Poison King’s Continuous Kills was a skill that could send out hundreds of hidden weapons toward the vital points of the enemy. The weapons would guarantee a critical hit wherever they struck. It was basically an AOE attack skill, but could also be considered Jing Chao’s one-shot kill skill.
Pipipipipipipipi―
Hundreds of hidden weapons flew straight towards the rushing boy as Jing Chao thought, ‘These hidden weapons may not have that much aggressiveness, but the moment they get to your vital points, they would unleash a devastating critical strike together with a poisonous effect…! This time, surely, you will not be able to stand it!’
That was what Jing Chao had concluded.
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!
Unfortunately, the devices just bounced off of the boy’s body.
Stab―
When one of the devices stuck on the boy’s body…
[Critical hit!]
[The paralysis poison is taking effect.]
[Your enemy’s movements will slow down.]
“Ouch!?An ant bit me. Ants are bad!”
“…”
“…”
Jing Chao felt that everything was absurd right at that moment.
‘An ant?’
Poison King’s Continuous Kills was his best skill. These hundreds of hidden weapons had a poison effect that would be triggered randomly. The effects were different every time. Sometimes, a flesh-melting poison would be triggered. There were also times like this, when a paralysis poison would be triggered.
Jing Chao thought that the paralysis poison was the perfect poison to be triggered for the monster in front of them. They would be able to cut off his neck through the gap created by the paralysis. Just like he expected, the boy stopped running.
‘As expected…!’
Jing Chao and Rochan made eye contact. Then, they both rushed forward. They could see that the boy was shivering and trembling.
Then, the boy shouted, “Co…Conir!!! Conir’s stomach hurts! I have to go to the bathroom! Hyung told Conir to go to the bathroom if my stomach hurts…!”
“What?!”
“HUH?!”
‘He wasn’t paralyzed?’
They were not aware that the boy was a chimera, and that his body had the thousand-poison resistance effect. Then, the rest of their attacks landed on the boy.
Pipipipipipipipi―
Clang, clang, clang!
Some of their attacks were deflected, while some stopped the boy in his tracks. Then…
Spurt!
[The attack has been reflected.]
[You have been poisoned.]
[Your skin will feel like it’s burning.]
“Keuaaaaaaaack!” Jing Chao screamed. The same part where the hidden weapon was embedded on the boy’s body felt like it was burning.
The boy was confidently wielding his tongs at that moment. He said, “Tongs gigantification!”
Baaaaang!
Jing Chao flew back after he got hit by the tongs. He thought, ‘Such herculean strength…!’
It finally dawned on Jing Chao as he flew back, that he was sent flying after being hit by a tong!
As for Conir, even though the boy shouted loudly, the tongs did not grow bigger. Then, the boy became sullen. He said, “Why didn’t you get big, just like the one with hyung?”
The boy was suddenly overcome with sadness. Jing Chao could not help but sputter while he was flying backward.
“Who the hell is that punk?! I think he’s an NPC, but who would bring someone like that?!”
“That would be me. You f*ckers.”
“…”
A voice suddenly rang loudly from the direction where he was flying towards.
“Frying Pan Gigantification.”
‘F…frying pan gigantification…?’
Jing Chao could feel a powerful impact hitting his back just as he was about to turn his head to check who the owner of the voice was.
Baaaaaaaang―
Just like a baseball being hit by a batter, Jing Chao was sent flying to the other side.
“Keoheok!” Jing Chao let out a shriek. He saw his HP dropping towards the bottom as he rolled on the floor. When Rochan turned his head, he saw a man wearing a rugged helmet and a giant frying pan in his hands.
“So, you bullied my younger brother, huh?”
It was none other than Minhyuk.
