BXBX NOVEL Chapter 705: Support Troops
Chapter 705: Support Troops
Although the two kingdoms that would disappear within this week were nothing but small kingdoms, he felt satisfied and good about it.
He quietly took a sip of his champagne as he watched the situation on the battlefield through the crystal ball.
‘Ah. The sunset looks beautiful.’
That was when Nerva saw three silhouettes on the horizon with the sunset on their backs.
“…”
Right behind them were 80,000 strong troops, marching with powerful momentum and an overwhelming aura.
Clatter—!
“What the…?!”
Nerva knew who these people were. They were the kings in the Land of the Forgotten Heroes, Edea. He was also aware that the kings of Edea looked upon this world in a very bad light and the fact that the troops from that world were?extremely strong, to the point that none of the armies in this world could go against them easily.
Of course, Luvien Empire’s Nerva’s Black Knights did not fall behind them in terms of power and would not be easily pushed back. However, he had realized right at this very moment that the situation that he envisioned would not be achieved as easily as he thought. Nerva did not stay idle either.
‘Why the hell is that bastard there?!’
How in the world was Minhyuk over at that place? He was sure that he had trapped the man inside the underground prison.
Nerva headed for the underground prison swiftly, looking at all of the captives and prisoners of war that they had locked up inside. However, no matter how hard he looked, ‘Minhyuk’ was nowhere to be found.
‘This is impossible.’
There was no way that the man would be able to get out of this place. It did not matter how resourceful one was, they would not be able to escape once the restrictions were in place.
‘Unless they did not exist from the very beginning? Don’t tell me…’
The figure of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal flashed in Nerva’s head, rooting him in his place with a stunned look on his face.
Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, Sun Wukong, was a master of cloning techniques.
‘From the very beginning, that bastard…!’
It was not Minhyuk that had come here, but his clone.
“Eeeeeeeeeek…!”
An unbearable rage overcame Nerva. It was so overwhelming that he quickly wanted to vent it somehow. That was when he caught sight of the prisoners of war from the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.
“You bastards…!”
As his hands reached toward the prisoners, he recalled something.
[You have made a vow with the Beyond the Heavens’ King to release the prisoners safely under the name of the emperor!]
That was right. Nerva had made a vow in the name of the emperor. Because of that, he could not do anything to the prisoners in front of him.
“Damn it!!! Beyond the Heavens’ King, you f*cking bastard!!!” Nerva’s screams echoed loudly in the prison cells.
***
The one that entered the underground prison was not Minhyuk, but his clone. If that was the case, then where was his main body? Of course, it was in Edea.
Minhyuk had gone to Edea to ask for help from Sun Wukong, the king of the Kingdom of Rama, and Aaron, the king of the Kingdom of Eden. The two kingdoms immediately approved his request for support, a feat was much easier than he thought.
Minhyuk had actually thought of two possible outcomes after he secured help from them. Either Nerva would stay still, or he would bring his troops out. If it was the former, then it would not be too bad. After all, Minhyuk had already taken everything that he wanted from Nerva. However, what he hoped for was the latter.
He believed that Nerva would try to make an example out of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. After all, the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom had just ended a war against the Hell Corps. They were currently an easy target to gobble up.
Just as he hoped, Nerva opted for the latter.
[The Land of the Forgotten Heroes is an unknown land. It is a place where only a few of the players have been in.]
[According to rumors, there are many beings in Edea that are at a higher level than the beings in the world that we play in.]
[Even the level of their knights and soldiers are far higher than the level of those in our lands.]
Of course, the viewers were also in a buzz.
[No, how in the world did he get support from the kings of another world?]
[And it’s not just simple support. Even the kings themselves came here? At this point, we should call Minhyuk the King of Networking, no?]
[From what I know, Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal is a very powerful being in the Land of the Forgotten Heroes. He’s basically a living and breathing legend in that world.]
[Freaking amazing…]
The viewers all over the world watched in surprise and admiration. However, they were not the only ones that were surprised. Richard, the Masserati Kingdom, and Ricor felt like their breaths had been stolen.
[You have met the king of the Kingdom of Rama; Edea’s Legend, also known as the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.]
[He is the Supreme among all of the Supremes of the current era!]
[You might experience something special!]
Ricor’s percentage bar experienced a huge increase. However, that was not what surprised him.
‘How… why… why did it increase because of a player…’
What surprised him were the unbelievable notifications that rang in his ears.
[He is the King of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom, the God of Minhyuk Religion, and the one that received the blessings and protection of the Sword God and the Evil God.]
[He is the one that received the blessings and protection of the Dragon King, the Saintess, the Elven King, the Great Demon and the Continental Emperor.]
[He is someone that is receiving the attention of various Absolute Gods.]
[He is the first human to become a candidate for the Eight Pillars…]
[The system cannot measure him!]
[You might experience something special!]
“…!”
Ricor’s percentage bar did not increase that much, since Minhyuk was not that strong compared to the other NPCs as of now. However, it was also the truth that the system refused to measure the man in front anymore. And Ricor could tell.
‘There’s a high chance that he… stands above everyone…’
Ricor felt goosebumps rise all over his body as he watched the man glare sharply at Nerva’s Black Knights.
Then, he opened his mouth and said, “Today is a very sorrowful day.”
At the same time, in the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom, Minhyuk’s clone that was created using Sun Wukong’s Cloning Technique Parchment, stood on top of the walls of the kingdom.
Even after they had finished the funeral, his people and soldiers still wept bitterly, grieving for the dead. His clone recited the words that he had uttered on the battlefield to these people.
[Today is a very sorrowful day.]
BJ Know-it-all Dictionary was also there, filming everything and broadcasting it through his broadcasting channel. As for the battlefield, it was being filmed by cameras from all over the world.
[They took a lot from us, killed plenty of us.]
The people’s gazes were focused on Minhyuk.
[Everyone felt fear and terror. Although we protected what is ours, we still lost a lot.]
Indeed. The Beyond the Heavens Kingdom had done a great job in defending their nation unlike the other nations.
[Even so, those people that died had a home to go back to. In this war someone’s husband, someone’s son, someone’s wife had died.]
Many people from Beyond the Heavens Kingdom had died and many more were still grieving. Even though they won, they would have to live with the pain and sadness for quite some time.
For these people, there was one thing that Minhyuk could do.
[I, the Beyond the Heavens’ King, will never forget those that died on that day. And for those that killed many people under the pretext of bringing peace to the continent, I will bring judgment upon you, this I swear upon my name.]
Minhyuk, who was standing on top of the walls of the Beyond the Heavens’ Kingdom, held his sword with both hands. The clone was acting the same way that he, who was on the battlefield, was acting. His clone charged forward as hard as he could just like he did on the battlefield. He ran toward his enemies with Sun Wukong and Aaron right at his heels.
Then, a light flashed in front of Minhyuk. This was none other than ‘Everyone’s Delight’. Minhyuk’s dish, a simple toast, appeared in front of Ellie, Raldo, Gremory, Dragon King, Argon, Richard and even Ricor in another flash of light.
Sword of the Gods Luo immediately ran to where the running Minhyuk was.
Vwoooooooong—!
Luo’s dagger turned into black smoke and traveled at the speed of light, almost stabbing into Minhyuk’s neck.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Jingu Bang fell down from the sky and struck Lou several times.
“I believe I am your opponent, boy.”
Pooof—!
Hundreds of Sun Wukong’s clones appeared around Luo while pointing their own Ruyi Jingu Bang at him.
“…”
Luo’s face turned ugly. Minhyuk had already escaped his grasp and was running at the vanguard with 4,000 cavalry men from both the Kingdom of Rama and the Kingdom of Eden close behind him.
Crackleeee—
At the same time, a huge pillar of blazing flames shot out from Minhyuk’s sword.
[Overlord’s Mana has reached 100%!]
As the number and strength of the enemies increase, the power of Minhyuk’s Overlord Technique would also increase. Minhyuk brandished his sword against the Swords of the Gods and Nerva’s Black Knights that were fiercely charging at him.
Shwaaaaaaaaaaa—
The Overlord’s Technique finally made its appearance, shaking and flipping over the heavens and the earth.
It was not too long ago when Minhyuk’s Overlord’s Technique grew stronger after leveling up. With 100% of the Overlord’s Mana filled, the Overlord’s Technique could now bring devastation and inflict 5,000~7,000% damage to anyone within an eighty meter radius in front of him.
Rumbleeeeeeeee—
Amber, another Sword of the Gods, looked at the raging flames and stepped forward. He was someone that specialized in defense and shield techniques, as he had received the blessings and power of the God of Shields.
Thud—
When he stabbed his sword into the ground, a transparent square shield that was around fifty meters in width appeared around them.
Baaaaaaaaaaang—
Not long after, the Overlord’s Technique collided with Amber’s square shield.
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack—
“…!”
Amber groaned. He was confident in his square shield. After all, even if Knight Commander Don struck it, it would not break. However, cracks already started spreading in the shield with just one attack.
‘So, I can still block it.’
The fact that they could still block such a powerful attack was a good thing for them.
Shwaaaaaaa—
However, to his horror, another wave of Overlord’s Technique was cast and it was following right behind the first one.
“…?”
Amber looked at it incredulously. How could such a powerful attack be invoked twice in a row?
“Oiiiiiiiink!”
The one that summoned this fire was none other than the baby piggy, Beanie.
Baaaaaaaang—
Amber’s square shield cracked and broke into pieces. Just like that, two Overlord’s Technique wreaked havoc and devoured Minhyuk’s enemies without mercy.
Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh—
It only took an instant for the Black Knights to turn into ashes and disappear into the wind.
“Hiiiiik…!”
Amber managed to hold out for a brief moment using ‘God of Shields’ Blessings’. The Swords of the Gods immediately pounced on Minhyuk the moment the Overlord’s Technique calmed down. Of course, Amber also joined them.
Baaaaaaaang—
Amber deflected Minhyuk’s sword strike and immediately countered with his shield.
“Ugh!”
[Your HP has fallen below 94%!]
A huge damage was dealt to Minhyuk. The only woman among the Swords of the Gods present, Bella, punched Minhyuk in his flank.
Crack—
“Keuaaaaack!”
[Three of your ribs have been broken!]
[Continuous and lingering pain might interfere with your battle.]
Bella was one of the few women among the Swords of the Gods and used close-combat techniques. However, it was said that her power could break even mountains.
Seeing Minhyuk gripping his sides from the pain, Pero immediately charged forward and struck him with his sword.
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—
The moment Minhyuk blocked the attack, Bella grabbed him and threw him to the skies.
Shwaaaaaaaaaa—
“Ugh!!!”
[Beyond the Heavens’ Food God Minhyuk is being trampled on by the three Swords of the Gods.]
[The three Swords of the Gods’ levels are in the late 600’s. No matter how strong Player Minhyuk is and how good his artifacts and buffed dishes are, it would still be too hard for him to endure the onslaught of attacks from the three of them together.]
That was the unfortunate truth.
The three Swords of the Gods immediately chased after Minhyuk. Just when Amber was about to strike Minhyuk with his square shield from above. He saw Minhyuk’s lips curl up into a smirk.
Grin—
“…?!”
At that moment, Bella realized that something was wrong. However, it was already too late. Minhyuk mumbled, “Intangible Sword.”
[Intangible Sword.]
[Your enemies will be attacked by invisible swords for five minutes. Your attacks will reach everyone within your ten meter radius.]
[You can use Sword Manipulation and send hundreds of invisible swords toward your enemies.]
[Your sword’s attack power will increase by 900%. The movement speed of your Sword Manipulation will also be ten times faster than your speed of wielding your sword.]
Invisible swords slashed and pierced the bodies of the three Swords of the Gods that chased after Minhyuk in the sky.
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—
Their bodies were all torn to shreds, blood spurting out like fountains from all over their bodies.
Thump—
Among the four of them that were in the sky, it was only Minhyuk that landed with both of his feet on the ground.
Thud—
Thud—
Thud—
The bodies of the three Swords of the Gods were all unmoving as they crashed helplessly to the ground.
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—
Immediately after that, the skill Intangible Sword continued to sweep away the Black Knights that blocked Minhyuk’s path.
