Damian’s ice bullet precisely hit Minotaur’s head. After all, he was so large that the hit rate was as good as 100%. At the same time, Cappuccino’s spell was completed. “Icicle Storm!”
Two small ice storms started striking Minotaur’s entire body. It was a spell that boasted great power despite being chant-free. Minotaur woke up from his sleep and released flames. “Grruk. The naive humans have come again! Daring to interrupt my sleep, die!”
Minotaur broke the ice storm and started to attack with tremendous speed and power. However, the Zeus Guild was fast. Minotaur never hit them and snorted. “Gruruk. You are like rats!”
Then someone cut Minotaur’s Achilles tendon. It was Reina’s exclusive weapon, the Side Scythe. It just didn’t deal much damage due to his high defense. “Oh my, the defense is higher than I thought?”
Michael leaped into the air while ordering her, “Reina, take care of yourself.”
Michael used the power of sand to jump into the air and stabbed his sword toward the ground. It was under Minotaur’s feet and he soon used a familiar skill. “Desert Sunflower.”
[The constellation skill ‘Desert Sunflower’ is triggered.]
[The surrounding 10 meters area will turn into a desert.]
[Be careful not to be sucked in.]
Michael and Reina quickly left the area. They didn’t need a signal because this had happened more than once or twice. Still, it wasn’t enough. Desert Sunflower was a good skill to wipe out existences with small bodies but it wasn’t so good against those with huge bodies. Minotaur’s right foot was sucked into a desert sunflower but stopped at some point. It was as expected.
[The scorpion zodiac, ‘Antares,’ is watching with interested eyes.]
‘...Wait and see. Even without your poison, I’ll take him down.’
Michael widened the distance and Damian fired an ice bullet again. Ice flowers blossomed everywhere he shot and Minotaur looked distressed. At the same time, many guild members were attached to Minotaur’s legs. At the vanguard was Reinhardt. “Nuclear Fist!”
Nuclear Fist was the ultimate blow that made Reinhardt famous. He was an all-round tanker with a deadly blow. This was the man called Reinhardt.
“Kuoooch, these guys!”
It seemed like a powerful attack. The sudden explosion shook Minotaur’s legs. Once again, the hammer was swung. This time, the trajectory moved from side to side, not from top to bottom.
“Everyone, stay away!”
The guild members rushing forward stopped when they heard Reinhardt’s cry. Only Reinhardt didn’t avoid it. The steel shield attached to his gauntlets started to become huge. “Wall of Steel!”
There was a sound like a huge gong being hit. Minotaur had a funny expression. “You blocked my hammer. You are quite powerful for a human! Guruk.”
Minotaur smiled and relentlessly hit on the shield. The right foot trapped in the sand returned to its original state and the huge cow freely waved his hammer. Blood filled Reinhardt’s mouth and Damian shouted, “Everyone, charge!”

Around this time, Yoo Minseok was listening to Cha Jincheol’s explanation in the team leader’s office. He was astonished when the long story ended.
“Is this true...?”
“Yes, I can’t believe it but it is.”
It was working time so Cha Jincheol maintained the honorifics. As always, he was clear about the separation between his personal and professional lives. In any case, this wasn’t important as Yoo Minseok muttered, “No, it doesn’t make sense... play the video.”
Cha Jincheol manipulated the laptop he brought and soon opened a certain scene. Yoo Minseok started to focus on the video that played. The point of view was hovering around the giant ship. Once a familiar face appeared, Cha Jincheol opened his mouth, “By the way, his name is Choi Chuntaek.”
“Is he Korean? How do you know his name?”
“I was lucky enough to meet his granddaughter in the game. We became friends so I was able to meet him. Of course, he poisoned me.”
The ensuing video was a screen where a giant muscle crab attacked the ship. Yoo Minseok’s eyes shone. “Isn’t that Gyeonso Dragon? What was it? The Eight Miracles?”
“The Eight Supernovas.”
“Yes, why is he there?”
“It seems they are companions. They came in a carriage together.”
“No, what is that grandfather’s network?”
The muscle crab died from the lightning.
Yoo Minseok said, “I think it is uncertain that he is using the abilities of another constellation. The lightning around Gyeonso Dragon’s fist is similar to the lightning around the grandfather’s legs but this could be the grandfather’s ability.”
“I will fast forward a bit.” He pressed the arrow and the scene flowed rapidly. Next was a scene where they confronted a giant black wolf against the backdrop of a blizzard. Yoo Minseok asked, “Where is this?”
“The North Pole.”
“What? Isn’t that area still unexplored? Why is the grandfather in the North Pole?”
“It is unbelievable but true.”
“No, what is that person...?”
“It is too early to be shocked.”
‘Too early?’
At this moment, a huge dark world appeared on the screen. Small black wolves were summoned. This seemed to be the ability of that huge black wolf. Cha Jincheol’s mouth dropped open as he watched.
“That giant wolf is a constellation.”
“Indeed. The only existences with that level of power are constellations.”
Yoo Minseok nodded only for his eyes to suddenly widen. Suddenly, a white light burst out of the great darkness and the grandfather started summoning wolves.
“W-What? It is the same ability as that wolf before!”
The next scene was full of surprises. They fled into the cave and suddenly, another constellation appeared. This time, it was a giant white wolf.
-Kuweeeeeoh!
It was really a war of monsters. it was such a great action movie that it was a waste to watch it alone. The grandfather climbed onto the back of the white wolf and the next scene was shocking.
“He had that ability?”
The white light he had seen earlier wrapped around the grandfather’s body and luminous fireflies were creating a huge shield. It was wrapping around the body of the white wolf, restoring its vitality. At first glance, it was an enormous healing power. “What is that ability?”
“Did you hear about how a new Star\'s Beloved appeared?”
“I heard.”
“It is the woman there.”
“What?”
The sudden appearance of the woman made the shield stronger. She started to use fireflies to launch devastating air strikes.
“She ate a Star Fruit due to the grandfather and picked a constellation he chose as well. Strangely, he seems to know all the constellations.”
“That doesn’t make sense. How does he know this information?”
“I’m not sure but he really does know it.”
Finally, the end of the long struggle arrived and the black wolf roared and killed itself. The whole world was submerged in a bright light and after a while, only the noble white wolf was left behind.
Yoo Minseok asked with a blank expression. “Don’t tell me... no, then this means we really need him. Can you get in touch with him?”
“It is possible through his granddaughter. I’ve already conveyed my desire to meet the grandfather.”
“Yes, I see. If the grandfather really knew the information of the constellations then they could get rid of this boring overtime work. Huhuhu.”
Just then, someone knocked on the door. “It is Kim Jisu.”
“Come in.”
Secretary Kim opened the door and walked in with the clear sound of her shoes. “The Minotaur raid is about to begin.”
“Yes...?”
Currently, Union was focusing on the Minotaur raid. It was the highest level boss monster that appeared so far. Many strong people would gather and their prediction was that those with the ability of Star Fruits would appear. Their idea was correct.
“What guild is it this time?”
“The Zeus Guild.”
“If it is the Zeus Guild... is that Michael’s guild?”
“Yes.”
“Well, I haven’t collected all his information yet. Let’s go, Deputy Cha.”
“Yes, Team Leader-nim."
The three of them moved to the monitoring room. There was currently a live broadcast of the Minotaur raid. Head Manager Lee Seokjun was there as well.
“Head Manager, I didn’t expect you to be here.”
“Oh, the Team Leader has come. I’m a big fan of Michael. Haha.”
“I see.”
Lee Seokjun was the second son of Chairman Lee Geonmyeong. Unlike the eldest son Lee Myeongjun, he was smart and had good business skills. It was Yoo Minseok’s thoughts that he would be the one to succeed Union after Chairman Lee Geonmyeong died.
‘It must be so. Or there is no meaning in holding his rope.’
A reporter’s voice was heard. She displayed a passionate spirit in the midst of the pandemonium and conveyed the situation.
-Amazing!This is the Zeus Guild!Look at that linkage!This is the dignity of the world’s number one guild!Michael is really worthy of his reputation!
Lee Seokjun laughed wildly.
“As expected of Michael. Hahaha.”
However, the situation wasn’t very good. Minotaur started to release a high heat from all over his body. The massive explosion wiped out nearly 100 guild members. All that remained were 50 guild members, the executives, and Michael.
-Phew, it was dangerous.Many people have died!Will the Zeus Guild fail?!
At this moment, Michael shouted something and disappeared somewhere. He was flying while stepping on the sand and the reporter was flustered when he suddenly disappeared.
-Michael is moving!Where is he going?I really wonder what it feels like to step on that sand.All I can say is that the movements are great!
Michael was heading to the ceiling of the huge cave. There was nowhere to go. He was stepping on the sand and soon touched the ceiling. The huge space suddenly started to crumble. It was a devastating earthquake. Sand fell down from the sky and the stones that made up the ceiling started to become sand. Suddenly, a huge wave of sand swept over Minotaur.
-Ah, it’s great! Minotaur is being covered with sand!The massive heat was extinguished in an instant!However, there is too much sand...
The second, third, and fourth waves of sand filled the space. The reporter was panicked when she noticed.
-W-What is this?
Suddenly, the ceiling was gone. The huge ceiling and walls were all turned into sand that became a tsunami. Then the reporter’s body rose.
-Ehh?
She landed on the sand and settled down. All of the Zeus Guild sat there watching Minotaur being swept away by a tsunami of sand.
Lee Seokjun clapped and marveled. “Ah! As expected of Michael! I didn’t know there was a move like this!”
Yoo Minseok also admired it. He never dreamed Minotaur would be raided in this way. Minotaur would probably be buried under the sand and unable to breathe. Then it happened...
