Chapter 296: Create a Recipe for Me
[Our Lord Food God has finally made his appearance! The moment he appeared, a scream came out of Barach’s mouth! This is the first time that has happened, no one has been able to make him shriek and scream in pain!!!]
The commentators shouted excitedly. However, they only cheered at his splendid appearance.
[But, will Player Minhyuk be able to defeat Barach that the Legend Guild and the Sun Guild has failed to overcome?]
[I think it will be hard. There might be a chance if Player Minhyuk is 100 levels stronger than he was before, but that’s a fact that’s theoretically impossible.]
[What’s even worse is that the number of demons are increasing while the number of rankers are dropping sharply!]
Along with comments that praised the return of their Lord Food God Minhyuk, comments that raised various concerns also began to appear one by one.
[God Minhyuk has appeared. It’s nice that he appeared splendidly, but he looks like he will be left out with his level. Smh.]
[Minhyuk seems to like to appear in flashy situations. Does he want to be the hero that appears towards the end?]
[He’s done quite some huge damage, but the situation will not change.]
[To be honest, Minhyuk really can’t carry…]
Barach was still not dead, and the commenters’ reaction seemed to only be natural. Meanwhile, Minhyuk, who had approached Alicia and Genie earlier, looked back at them before rushing towards Barach.
***
Bathump, bathump―
Alicia liked Minhyuk. He was a cheerful, bright and wonderful person that taught her how to have fun. However, Alicia had always thought that it was just a ‘fleeting’ feeling.
Alicia had been the envy of the public for a long time and had a matured mindset much earlier than the others. She knew that there was liking someone was an emotion that could cool down and disappear quickly. Of course, it was true that Alicia was grateful to Minhyuk. And, it was also true that she liked him as a person. Every time she met him, her heart would pound slightly, but it was not enough to call it something serious.
However, Alicia’s thoughts changed the moment she saw Minhyuk appear here before stabbing a huge scythe into Barach’s chest and retrieving it casually. The thumping of her heart increased in intensity and she could not take her eyes off of Minhyuk.
That was when Alicia realized, ‘I think I’m really in love… with this man…’?
“Are you alright?” Minhyuk asked them as he smiled brightly.
Alicia just nodded. Minhyuk nodded at them and said, “I will give it my all, so stay away and go to the rear for now.”
“...Yes.”
The moment Minhyuk turned his head away, the sunlight fell on his face. It illuminated his high nose bridge, soft eyes and pretty smile. He looked incredibly attractive under the bright ray of the sun. While Alicia was busy with that thought…
‘Do I have more competitors now? Tch!’?Genie thought with a sigh.
Alicia finally came back to her senses when Minhyuk ran out. She said, “Wait…! You can’t take on that guy alone!!!”
Barach’s skin was extremely thick and his defense was beyond one’s imagination. Even if one got lucky and landed a strike, their physical defense and magical defense would be greatly reduced with Barach’s flame, which in turn would cause a lot of damage to the player.
However, Minhyuk did not look like he heard her words as he continued to run.
Then, Genie said, “It’s fine.”
“Pardon?”
Alicia turned to look at Genie.
“Minhyuk never fights recklessly.”
Alicia could not understand what she meant.
“He’s not a fool that’s just burning for justice.”
Alicia really could not understand her. To her, Minhyuk was an innocent man that liked food and smiled brighter than anybody else. In fact, Alicia did not really know what kind of man Minhyuk truly was. On the other hand, Genie knew him well.
‘Victory.’?
Genie knew that Minhyuk would only run to Barach like that if he were sure of it.
Barach gripped his chest.
[Demon God’s Blessing]
[Rapidly regenerates the injured area.]
The commentators were horrified.
[Th…They’re in big trouble! They might have dealt huge damage to Barach earlier, but Barach has his own recovery skill!!!]
[This is really a losing fight!]
And Minhyuk, who was approaching Barach, thought, ‘Was Barach stabbed on his chest earlier because the judgment was triggered?’
This question flashed in Minhyuk’s head. Based on what was stated in the special abilities of Diablo’s Scythe, there was only an 8% chance of triggering a judgment upon a successful attack. When the judgment was triggered, Minhyuk would be able to inflict an additional 400% damage.
A while ago, it seemed like judgment was triggered when the scythe stabbed through Barach’s chest, which resulted in powerful damage. Even Minhyuk’s attack speed had increased by 180% since he summoned Diablo’s Scythe.
Then, Barach’s whip flew towards Minhyuk.
Shwaaaaaaak―
Minhyuk quickly used ‘Like the Wind’. He narrowly avoided the attack and closed the distance between them at the same time. He also swung Diablo’s Scythe that was connected to the chain on his hands.
Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwaaa―
Diablo’s Scythe moved freely and fluidly as it stabbed all over Barach’s Body. However, just like what Minhyuk had expected, he was unable to break through Barach’s defenses.
‘Just how good is his defense…?’?
Minhyuk had Diablo’s sword with him. Thanks to this Devil Judge’s Sword, there was at least a 1,000 increase in his output since its attack power was added on top of his overwhelming stats. Despite that, Minhyuk was still unable to pierce through Barach’s thick skin.
Claaaaang―
Minhyuk quickly raised his arms up after digging down with his scythe. The scythe started from Barach’s lower body and went upwards but only sparks came out from the attack. And as if to further annoy Minhyuk, a change happened in Barach.
[Demon God’s Blessing]
[Receiving the Demon God’s blessings, Barach’s attack and defense will be increased by 20% while his skill level will be increased by +1]
Minhyuk was shocked. Even the rest of the people that heard the notification were shocked.
‘He’s getting stronger even at this point…?’?
The commentators shouted in agitation.
[A boost is added to the enemy when it\'s already a losing game!!!]
[Player Minhyuk’s attacks don\'t work at all. His initial attack seemed to be one with a critical hit effect.]
[Big trouble! After Our Lord Food God’s appearance, Barach has grown even stronger.]
Then, at that moment…
Shwaaaaaa―
…Barach’s whip flew even faster.
Swish!
Bang―
Minhyuk evaded the attack. However, a huge ball of flame exploded at the place where the whip fell down. It was as if a bomb had fallen at the exact same spot. Minhyuk quickly used ‘Like the Wind’ to escape even further. That was when the iron mace in Barach’s other hand suddenly moved.
Baaaaaaaang―
Minhyuk narrowly avoided the gigantic iron mace, but…
[Earth Quake!]
[An intense earthquake!]
Crack, crack, crack!
The ground shook and cracked, which broke Minhyuk’s balance. Barach used the opportunity to smash his iron mace towards Minhyuk’s face.
Then…
Shwaaaaaaaak!
…three black kitchen knives flew in and collided with the iron mace.
Crack!
A baby piggy appeared right in front of Minhyuk after the space had been torn apart.
[Player Minhyuk’s pet, Beanie, has appeared!]
[Huh? But, doesn’t Beanie look a bit different from before? He’s now wearing golden armor and using the black kitchen knife.]
[Wow. The baby piggy is wearing golden armor. So cute.]
[It’s not the time to think that he’s cute. But, I do agree that he’s cute.]
“Oiiink!” Beanie cried loudly as he kicked off the ground with his tiny feet.
Beanie had now undergone two awakenings. Using Speed of Light, he rushed towards Barach and placed pressure on him with the black kitchen knife in his hands.
“Oiiiiiink!”
[Beanie’s body is as light as a feather.]
[Just like doing acrobatics, he runs around Barach’s body with his small body as he attacks. Unfortunately, his attacks don’t work.]
A thought flashed in Minhyuk’s head as he watched Beanie fight.
‘It’s too early to use the Oven of Disaster’s skill.’
The Oven of Disaster’s skill could allow Minhyuk to tie up his opponent’s strongest skill or whatever skill he targeted for five minutes. However, Minhyuk thought that this should only be used when he was sure that he could kill Barach. In a situation where their attacks did not work, they needed to do something that could give them a chance of winning.
‘Berserk?’
The Devil Judge’s Sword had the power to increase his attack power dramatically. However, Minhyuk had never used Berserk. So, he wondered if this power was enough to kill the monster in front of him.
‘If not, is there anything else?’
Then… a thought passed in Minhyuk’s head.
‘Come to think of it I…’
Minhyuk had been using his ‘Create a Recipe’ Skill to feed other people excellent buffed dishes. However, he had never used the Create a Recipe Skill on himself. Not even once.
‘Why didn’t I think of that?’
Minhyuk’s thoughts turned calm. Looking around, he could see that it was nigh impossible to kill Barach with their current strength.
‘Then…’
Minhyuk hurriedly shouted, “Everyone, gather around me!”
The surviving members of the Legend Guild, Alicia, and some other rankers were busy fighting against the other demons and demonic beasts. They knew that a rabbit would only intervene in a fight between beasts, so they tried to use their strength and help in a direction that they could maximize their power.
Hearing Minhyuk’s shout, everyone moved quickly. As soon as everyone had started to move towards Minhyuk, he quickly activated the Oven of Disaster’s skill ‘Oven of Disaster’. At that moment, a timer suddenly appeared in the air as the sound rang loudly in the surrounding area.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
Countless rankers ran towards Minhyuk.
“Ruuuuun!”
“There’s no other way except with Minhyuk!”
Many of the surviving rankers were from the Sun Guild Alliance. But right now, they knew that they did not have the power to focus on who would hunt Barach. Their problem right now was to find a way to survive and then think of a way to hunt Barach.
[Their only hope right now is Player Minhyuk!!! All of the rankers are running and following what he says!]
[But we can expect that more than half of the rankers would die while they’re running!]?
[There’s suddenly an unknown sound that rang in the air.]
[This sound… Doesn’t it sound a bit familiar?]
The commentators looked at each other as if they were trying to remember where they heard this sound before. Then, one of the commentators shouted…
[This is the sound of a ticking clock…! I’m sure! This is the sound of the ticking of a second hand when you put food in the oven and turn the knob!!!!]
Even the comments section was filled with doubt about this.
[The sound of an oven timer? What kind of bullshit is this?]
[Sound of an oven… Is God Minhyuk really that obsessed about food…]
Meanwhile, one of the viewers posted a key comment.
[But the oven timer is ticking. Doesn’t it make a sound when it’s cooking? What happens when the cooking’s done?]
Then, at that moment…
Ding!
…a cheerful ding!?resounded as if to tell that the cooking was finally over. At that moment, the demons and demonic beasts that chased the Legend Guild and the others, even Barach who was standing in the middle, were engulfed in a tremendous explosion.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The scene looked like there were countless missiles being fired in the area. It seemed like the explosion was equipped with a spell that recognized enemies, since all of their opponents that got hit disappeared without a form. The small explosions generated a tremendous power that had 450% additional attack power. This was the power of the second place of the Absolute Demigod artifacts, the Oven of Disaster.
Shwaaaaaaaaaa―
The surrounding blew the dust created by the explosion and revealed the area. More than 70% of the demons and demonic beasts had disappeared without a trace, while 20% fell into a state that made them unable to fight. Even Barach was staggering from the shock of the explosion.
The commentators were speechless at the sight while the comments section became quiet. They were all at a loss for words from the tremendous power that was shown. Then, one of the commentators slowly opened his mouth and said…
[F…frightening…]
With his words as the catalyst, the comments section suddenly started to flood and explode with activity.
