Chapter 455: Verus vs. Let’s Eat Sect
‘Are they happy because they would be able to seal Verus through me?’
However, Minhyuk could not afford to dwell and ponder on these thoughts.
“H… how…!”
“Minhyuk…?”
“Crazy…!”
All of the members of Let’s Eat Sect sitting inside the barrier looked at Minhyuk in shock after witnessing him seal the demons in a single move. The power that Minhyuk was wielding right now was completely beyond any of their imagination.
‘He looks like he will be able to win even if all of the Summit Five appeared right here and now, right?’
In fact, with the condition that Minhyuk was in right now, there was a high chance that the Summit Five would lose even if they attacked him all together. Of course, that was just what they thought.
However, Minhyuk’s ‘Overlapping Delight’ was dependent on the number that the die cast and the grade of the dishes that he had. Minhyuk was able to overlap the buff effects of two legendary grade dishes, and thanks to the die rolling a six, he was able to gain seven minutes of buff duration.
If he had been unlucky and the die only rolled a one, he would have only been able to wield this power for a mere fifteen seconds.
“Sorry, I’m late,” Minhyuk said. However, he did not have much time so he did not say anything else. He started to run towards the thick cloud of dust that covered everything, until he saw Elpis and Verus’ figures.
‘So he used the Judge\'s Wrath, huh…’
Minhyuk also knew about the Judge’s Wrath. It was a top-level berserk skill with ridiculous power. However, its penalty was as high as the power that it could give. This was especially the case for NPCs. The penalty that NPCs would receive was higher, with only 2% of their HP remaining after the skill had been cast.
From the looks of it, Elpis seemed to have decided to sacrifice himself to offset and counter most of the power of the Demon’s Blazing Flame.
Then, Minhyuk saw Great Demon Verus reached out for Elpis, who was crashing straight towards the ground, to finish him off.
Daaaaaaash—
Minhyuk kicked the ground and flew towards them. He was so fast that he was already in front of Verus before Verus could even grab Elpis’ neck.
“Sword of Frenzy.”
The Sword of Frenzy would be able to exert its greatest power if it successfully hit the target’s vital point. Originally, the skill would give Minhyuk an additional 400% damage if he successfully hit his opponent’s vital point, and it would immediately be followed by six consecutive hits with additional 100% damage.
On top of that, it could also deal eight consecutive attacks with an additional 100% damage to all of his enemies within a five meter radius.
Currently, the Sword of Frenzy had become more powerful than before. The additional damage upon successful hit on the enemy’s vital point had increased to 2,000% and the six consecutive hits that followed had increased to twenty one hits, with additional 500% damage.
Stab—
[Keuhaaaaaaack?!]
Verus screamed in shock as the notifications rang in his ears.
[Your HP has dropped by more than 20%.]
[You temporarily cannot move your body at will due to the strong impact that you have received.]
Verus, who could only move his head, turned to look at the man that attacked him. The man had silver hair and eyes, and was completely unrecognizable to him. But before he could think about the identity of this man, the twenty one consecutive hits slammed into him.
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—
[Keheeeeeok?!]
Great Demon Verus was a god-like existence in the Demon World. The power that he could wield was so strong that even many of the Gods feared him. But now, his eyes were rolling back as a desperate scream was ripped out of his mouth, and his body…
Baaaaaaaaaaang—
…crashed straight down to the ground. Minhyuk quickly hugged the falling Elpis, before slowly descending.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
“…My lord.”
Elpis’ body was completely tattered. Both of his arms that held his sword were broken, his head was bleeding profusely, and his entire body was covered in burns. However, his lips curled into a wide and bright smile, the most beautiful smile that he could muster, the moment he saw Minhyuk.
Minhyuk smiled lightly as he landed on the ground and said, “I have to finish this quickly,” before casting ‘Sword of Absolute Death’ towards Verus, who was still stuck and unmoving on the ground.
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—
Verus’ body bounced high from the ground with every hit of the sword light that flew from Minhyuk’s sword.
[Keuaaaaaaaack! Aaaaaaaack!]
Sword of Absolute Death was Minhyuk’s strongest attack skill. Verus was receiving all of the damage from this attack. However, right after the Sword of Absolute Death’s duration ended, and when Verus was about to move again…
“Sword of Absolute Death.”
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—
…another set of powerful and explosive sword lights rained down on him.
[The only thing that I can say about this is… crazy…]
[Isn’t Player Minhyuk’s appearance a bit glamorous? And he’s completely overwhelming Great Demon Verus in terms of power, right?]
[Silver hair and silver eyes. He looks completely different from usual, but he still looks so cool. And towards what seems to be the most powerful monster in Athenae… Ah, Verus seems like he can’t even control his body anymore.]
Right now, the entire world was looking at Minhyuk in shock.
***
Knight Lauvredo once dreamt of becoming Barras Kingdom’s knight commander. In fact, he had the ability to become a kingdom’s knight commander, a fact that showcased how amazing a man he was and how shocking his abilities were. Truth was, Lauvredo was comparable to Ghost Spear Ben and Paladin Corr in power.
Lauvredo had led 100,000 troops in the war between Ethos Kingdom and Barras Kingdom, fighting for days on end to protect and make sure that his kingdom would survive and prosper. However, after ten, then twenty days of fighting, he realized that their rations and supplies had run out.
‘What about the support?! Are the transport troops coming?!’
The kingdom’s troops continued to fight hard for their families, hoping to survive and live until the day they could meet with them again. They waited for their kingdom’s support to arrive as they fought an endless battle.
Unfortunately, the support never came.
‘The supply route must have been blocked! Those Ethos bastards!’
In the end, Lauvredo and more than a thousand of his troops were captured. That was when he realized…
‘Ah, King Grain has abandoned us.’
Ethos Kingdom and Barras Kingdom were in the middle of a war and the final battle between the Ethos Kingdom’s troops and Lauvredo’s troops were only held so they could determine which kingdom would gain more land. Not long after that battle, Barras Kingdom and Ethos Kingdom signed a peace treaty.
As prisoners of war, Lauvredo and his surviving troops did not have the heart to come back to their kingdom. So, they all settled down in a place where prisoners of war and war orphans lived together.
That was when they met a great man in the form of ‘Talmor’. Lauvredo took the position of a branch manager and came running to save this great man. Only then did Lauvredo realize, ‘This is not the time for me to serve… Talmor…’
The moment they arrived, he witnessed the descent of Great Demon Verus. He felt extremely afraid and wanted to escape right away. Lauvredo hoped for the man named Elpis to quickly go with the great demon. But, as it turned out, Elpis chose Minhyuk.
‘That’s stupid!’
Lauvredo thought that the Let’s Eat Sect would abandon him. No, they had to abandon him. To his shock, that did not happen. Let’s Eat Sect risked their lives and even the kingdom that they were going to build and fought to protect Elpis. All of them fought, and even died for the sake of one person alone.
And now, even their king, the king that they followed and believed in, fought for this person and even went so far as to put a pressure on the being hailed as the great demon.
‘Anyone looking at this would say that its stupid. But…’
For some reason, Lauvredo felt his heart burn, not because he thought that the king and his vassals were stupid but…
‘I want to serve him,’?Lauvredo thought.
And, just like him, there were plenty of other people who had the same thought.
***
Twitch—
Minhyuk was speechless. After using the Sword of Frenzy, he used the Sword of Absolute Death twice in a row. Even after all that, Great Demon Verus’ fingers had already started to twitch as his body regenerated at a rapid pace.
“That’s crazy…”
Minhyuk was left speechless after seeing how powerful Verus was.
‘If that’s the case then I can only use that method…’
The method that he thought of was crude and only entailed everyone rushing forward and using their strongest attack skill on Verus. Since the members of Let’s Eat Sect had received the strongest buff from Minhyuk’s buffed dishes, there was a high chance that they could force Verus’ HP to reach zero in one go, if they attacked together with the Named NPCs.
[Guild Master Minhyuk: We have to attack all at once, otherwise we don’t have any chance of winning. I’ll create a gap for our attacks to go through.]
[Vice Guild Master Genie: Alright. We’ll tell the vassals.]
In fact, they risked facing a great catastrophe if this attack failed. Everyone nodded at Genie after they heard the situation from her. But then, at that moment…
Shwaaaaaaaaaa—
…a powerful force appeared and covered Verus, who was still stuck on the ground.
[Great Demon’s Attribute.]
[The resurrection attribute has been triggered.]
?Minhyuk’s face turned ugly as shocking notifications rang in his ears.
[Great Demon Verus’ HP and MP have reached 100%.]
[Great Demon Verus’ resurrection attribute can only be triggered once.]
[Great Demon Verus’ does not have much time and has to go back to the Demon World soon.]
[Great Demon Verus’ has become 1.3x more powerful than before.]
[The strengthened Great Demon Verus will be able to use half of the 72 Devils’ attributes.]
“This is f*cking driving me nuts…”
They were now in a situation where they had no choice but to step forward even if they did not want to. The Great Demon Verus had become even more powerful than before.
Even at their best, they could only shave off some of his HP, but that measly damage was immediately refilled by his insane regeneration. The fact that he was 1.3x stronger than before was already a cause for headache.
The worst part was the fact that he could use half of the 72 Devils’ attributes. Of course, if Great Demon Verus had all of his power at his disposal, then all of the 72 Devils’ attributes would be available to him. Thankfully, he had forced his descent, which resulted in a considerable slash in his power. Even so, each of the attributes of the 72 Devils were extremely powerful. Then…
[Baal’s Spear.]
Swoooooooooooooosh—
A gigantic black spear flew at the speed of light and pierced through Minhyuk’s heart, which was immediately followed by another set of shocking notifications.
[Baal’s Spear ignores all defenses.]
[Upon successful hit, Baal’s Spear will incur an additional 10,000% damage.]
“…???”
A power with additional 10,000% damage was completely, and utterly, ridiculous. Baal’s Spear was a pinnacle one-shot kill skill that even Baal, the first among all of the 72 Devils, could only use once. That was just how powerful it was.
“Urk!”
[He Who Overcomes.]
[Your HP has increased to 1. You are now invincible for 3 seconds.]
.
[All of your abilities will increase by 30% for 3 seconds.]
Minhyuk’s HP dropped to zero before going back up to one. He would also be invincible for three seconds. Seeing this, Minhyuk knew that he did not have any time to waste. Verus, who could use half of the 72 Devils’ power, was completely different from before.
So, Minhyuk quickly increased the distance between them while Great Demon Verus flew up in the skies.
[Fall in despair.]
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—
Verus used Demon Zagan’s attribute and sent thousands of potion bottles flying in the skies. The potion bottles then fell down on the ground and swept everything that it fell on with explosions.
Kieeeeeeeeeee—
Demon Flauros’ black hawk also made its reappearance, creating explosions to everywhere it passed by.
Swooooooooooosh—
[Focalor’s Wave.]
This time, a huge tidal wave made of blood appeared with a swing of Great Demon Verus’ sword. And everything that it passed by…
Sizzle—
“Keuhaaaaaaack!”
…melted as if they were touched by lava. Focalor was the 41st demon among the 72 Devils and he was hailed as the Tyrant of the Seas. Great Demon Verus was utilizing all of the demons’ power that he could send out.
Although it could not be seen in his expression, Great Demon Verus was appalled when he saw Minhyuk survive the attack that he sent out earlier.
[How… you bastard…!]
He wondered how the measly human in front of him survived the direct hit of Baal’s Spear and how he was running towards him, despite the countless attacks that he sent out. And then…
Baaaaaaaaaang—
Minhyuk jumped up with all his might and rushed towards Great Demon Verus. This was so he could prevent Verus, albeit temporarily, from casting the demons’ attributes and making it easier for everyone to attack him with all their might.
[Bastaaaaaaaard!!!]
Great Demon Verus, who stood in the sky, looked down at all the beings standing below him.
Shwaaaaaaaaaa—
Black flames suddenly exploded around him. This was Amon’s attribute. He was the seventh ranked demon, and had attributes that were specific to AOE attacks. Those attacks were capable of destroying a kingdom’s castle in one shot. Verus, who was about to send the attack below, turned to look at the humans with shock in his eyes. This was because more than ten people had already jumped up and surrounded him.
Sword Emperor Ellie’s eyes glinted sharply from underneath her helmet.
Sword Saint Conir pointed his sword towards Great Demon Verus.
Vice Guild Master Genie swung her temporary whip, one that she always carried with her in case her normal whip broke, in a beautiful arc.
Mercenary King Brod raised his sword, as thousands of wolves fluttered into existence around him.
Dragon King, with his catfish-like face and golden king’s robe, pointed his trident at him.
Elf King Gorn nocked a golden arrow on his bow and pulled its strings tightly.
There were also Best Selling Author Aruvel, Ghost Spear Ben, and many others.
Dozens of people surrounded Verus, as they prepared to send him their strongest one-shot kill skill.
And finally Minhyuk, who fell down, leapt to the skies once again.
All of them unleashed their attacks at Great Demon Verus together.
