Chapter 382: Hunting Black Dragon
Shwaaaaaaaa—
Crackle—
Burst—
…gigantic pillars of blazing flames burst out from all over the ground and devoured the players.
“Keuaaaaaaack!”
“Aaaaaack!”
“Urghhhh!”
There were a total of seven pillars of flames! The troops that accidentally made contact with the pillars of flame disappeared without leaving any trace. After that, thousands of magic spells reappeared all around Vormon in the sky.
The moment he saw the magic, Minhyuk cried, “Archers and dealers!!!”
“Yes!!!”
“Focus all your arrows and attacks on me!!!”
“What?!”
“I won’t say it twice! The moment I give you the signal, attack me as hard as you can!!!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
All they could do was to put their faith in the Food God.
Meanwhile, the commentators from all over the world were wondering what was happening.
[What did he mean by asking them to focus their attacks on him?]
[I can’t understand it either.]
[However, the archers and the dealers still started to prepare their skills.]
[They’re showing through their actions that they have placed their trust and faith in the Food God.]
[Since the players have spread out, we can expect that the damage that they will receive should significantly decrease.]
[Even so, based on our estimates, there will at least be 3,000 players that will die in this attack.]
Just when the thousands of magic spells that surrounded Vormon’s body were about to fall down, wings made of light spread out from Minhyuk’s shoulder blades, and he flew up in the sky with the help of the ‘Wings of Light’ that Mei Wei had temporarily used on him..
Flap—
Minhyuk immediately swapped his equipment as he flew higher in the sky. The weapon that he took out was none other than Hepas’ Legendary Frying Pan. He had strengthened this frying pan once, which increased its defense to 1,000, while its magical defense increased by +200. Even its chances of reflecting magic had increased to 50%. It had become a weapon that could exert the most powerful force against beings that use magic.
Then, at that moment…
[Frying Pan Gigantification]
[You can adjust the size of your frying pan depending on the mana that you will input.]
The frying pan grew larger than Minhyuk’s body. But it did not end there.
[Frying Pan Gigantification]
[You can adjust the size of your frying pan depending on the mana that you will input.]
It grew bigger again. The Frying Pan Gigantification was a skill that could allow the frying pan to increase in size, as long as the skill user continued to inject mana into the frying pan.
[Frying Pan Gigantification]
[You can adjust the size of your frying pan depending on the mana that you will input.]
[Warning. The frying pan’s size has grown out of control.]
The frying pan had grown so large that its shadow now covered a huge area on the ground. But Minhyuk was still increasing its size.
[Frying Pan Gigantification]
[You can adjust the size of your frying pan depending on the mana that you will input.]
[Frying Pan Gigantification]
[You can adjust the size of your frying pan...]
The frying pan grew large enough to cover a 40 meter radius. But there was a problem. As per the warning before, the frying pan had truly grown so large that Minhyuk could not control it anymore.
“Kgggggghk…”
Minhyuk was just enduring it at best, but it had already grown to the point that he could barely support its weight. Even the entire world wondered if the frying pan could be swung with that much air resistance. Then, at that moment…
Shwaaaaaa—
Thousands of Vormon’s magic spells descended on the players. Then…
“Now!!!”
…each of the players on the ground triggered their skills with Minhyuk’s signal.
“Running Sword!”
“Great Arrow!”
“Sword Dance!”
“Multishot!”
Thousands of attacks flew up all at once. Towards Minhyuk? No. All of their attacks were directed towards Minhyuk’s frying pan. This was what Minhyuk was aiming for. He wanted to use the force of the thousands of skills and attacks from the players to move the frying pan.
The thousands of skills slammed into the huge frying pan, creating a huge tremor that shook Minhyuk and his hold on the frying pan. At the same time, the frying pan began to move towards the magic spells falling on the ground. Then, when all of the skills had slammed into the frying pan…
“Haaaaa!”
…Minhyuk flew up once again. The power and impact of the skills had been absorbed by the frying pan, which made it rotate. Minhyuk used this power to sweep away the thousands of magic spells that descended upon them.
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang—
The thousands of magic spells slammed into the frying pan all at once. However, they only slammed into the frying pan, and failed to pierce through its defenses. This was all thanks to Minhyuk’s magical defense, which had doubled, and the extremely high magical defense of the frying pan itself. It did not end there.
[Magical Reflection]
[You have returned the magical attack back to your enemy.]
[Magical Reflection]
[You have returned the magical attack back to your enemy.]
[Magical Reflection]
[You have returned the magical attack…]
Hepas’ Legendary Frying Pan’s magical reflection ability had increased to 50%. This meant that half of Vormon’s magic spells that hit the frying pan were reflected back to him.
“…!”
Vormon’s eyes widened in surprise. Then…
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The powerful magic spells that Vormon sent himself were thrown back at him. Then, the mages, who had been preparing their magic spells and waiting for the right time, triggered their skills.
“Fire Field!!!”
Someone casted Fire Field on Vormon’s body.
“Lightning!”
“Wind Cutter!”
“Fire Wall!”
“Great Boom!”
Hundreds of magic spells devoured Vormon’s body.
“Keuhaaaaaaack!”
Vormon shrieked involuntarily.
[…]
[…]
[…]
The viewers watching from all over the world were in shock.
[C… crazy…!]
[What an amazing method. My goodness! How did he think of reflecting the thousands of magic spells like that?!]
[And! And! With the help of the thousands of players, he was able to swing his frying pan!]
[How can he think of something like that in such a frantic and urgent situation?!]
“That’s crazy…”
“The Food God… is amazing, huh?”
“I’m surprised he can make a decision like that.”
“The people from Asgan Continent are our enemies, but I have to admit his brilliance.”
“Food God is truly our Lord, Food God…”
“That’s really amazing…”
The tens of thousands of troops that followed Minhyuk were all trembling in excitement. All of the Chinese players were looking at the Food God in fascination and shock. One of the reasons why they were shocked was because they were in a very chaotic situation, and yet, the Food God was still able to quickly analyze everything and make a decision like that. He was completely different from the other players, whose minds had gone blank.
Meanwhile, Minhyuk was still flying in the sky. He swapped his now-shrunken frying pan with his Devil Judge’s Sword again. Then, he quickly casted the Sword of Frenzy as he flew higher in the sky. Once he reached Vormon’s vicinity, Mei Wei, with great timing and accuracy, sent him another buff.
[War Goddess’ Attack]
[All successful attacks within 4.5 seconds will have a 2.5x damage. This can overlap with other skills.]
Minhyuk had received the buff ‘War Goddess’ Attack’ from Mei Wei back when they hunted the Grim Reaper. Back then, he had to carry out all of his attacks within 2.5 seconds. However, after eating the marrow bone broth, Mei Wei’s power and skills had been strengthened, which increased the duration and power of the skill. As long as Minhyuk’s attacks were successful within 4.5 seconds, then the damage that he would inflict would be increased by 2.5x. It can even overlap with other skills.
Minhyuk flew quickly as he triggered the Sword of Frenzy and sent it towards Vormon, who was still shrieking from the onslaught of the thousands of magical spells that had been sent back to him.
[Sword of Frenzy]
Sword of Frenzy was a skill that evolved from the Sword of Fury, and it had reached Half Pinnacle. There was also the marrow bone broth buff that Minhyuk had on top of that. In other words, he could deal an additional 600% damage upon a successful hit on Vormon’s vital points, as well as strike another eight consecutive hits with an additional 120% damage with each hit. What would happen in that situation if his damage had increased by 2.5x with Mei Wei’s buff?
Clench—
Minhyuk grabbed his sword tightly as he stabbed it upward towards the still-roaring Vormon’s chest. And then…
Crack—
Minhyuk’s sword pierced through Vormon’s tough scales and hard skin before digging deeper into his body. At the very same moment, Vormon felt an intense searing pain. It was like no other, a sensation that he had never experienced in all his life.
“Keuaaaaaaaaaaack!” Vormon screamed wildly. But the attack did not end there. Eight consecutive attacks slammed into him right after.
Flash, flash, flash, flash—
Attacks continued to slam into Vormon’s body while hundreds of sword blades formed around Minhyuk’s body. This was the Sword of Frenzy that could attack and strike down the enemies in the surrounding area. And right after that…
[Intangible Sword]
[Your sword strike has ignored all of the enemy’s defenses.]
[Lightning]
[3 strikes!]
Bang, bang, bang!
Huge lightning bolts struck down and engulfed Vormon’s body. Then, Minhyuk swapped his weapon once again. Minhyuk enlarged his frying pan and swung it strongly.
Claaaaaaaaaaang—
A loud and clear sound rang loudly as Vormon fell down on the ground.
[A very shocking scene is unfolding right in front of our very eyes!]
[Is Food God, Player Minhyuk, going to become a hero just like this?!]
[My God!!! Vormon, who everyone thought was impossible to kill, is now going to fall!]
However, it was not an easy feat.
“How dare…!” Vormon shrieked furiously. His voice sounded strangely like something sharp scratching against an iron bowl, “How dare you… HUMAN!”
And with his roar, the falling Vormon immediately spread out his gigantic wings and…
Puhaaaaaaaaaa—!
Poison magic engulfed the entire area, eroding the lungs and throats of all of the players on the ground. The radius of Vormon’s poison magic was beyond anyone’s imagination.
“Keheoook!”
“Aaaaack!”
[You have been subjected to a deadly poison.]
[A terrible poison has started to erode and melt your organs.]
[Your skin has started to erode.]
[Your HP has fallen below 50%.]
“Keuaaaaaack!”
The troops shrieked as they grabbed their necks helplessly from the pain of the poison eroding their organs. At the same time, the injuries they inflicted on Vormon’s body began to twitch and regenerate.
“…!”
Minhyuk was very shocked to see it. No, it was more exact to say that he was dispirited. He could not use his Frying Pan Gigantification skill again, which meant that he would not be able to reflect any of the magic spells that Vormon used anymore. Then…
Creak, creak, creak, creak—
Gigantic tree roots sprung up from the ground and stretched towards Minhyuk, binding his entire body tightly.
“Urgh!”
Like an anaconda that found its prey, the tree roots wrapped around Minhyuk’s body. Minhyuk tried to force his way out of the tree roots’ hold, but he could not get out from the extremely powerful grip. The tree roots then dragged Minhyuk in front of Vormon.
“Did you humans think that you stood a chance against me?”
As Vormon’s pupils enlarged in front of Minhyuk, fear and terror engulfed his entire body.
Crack, crack, crack, crack—!
“Keuaaaaaack!”
[Your HP has fallen below 70%.]
The gigantic tree roots tightened their hold on Minhyuk’s body, which made his bones crack. If things continued at this rate, Minhyuk’s body would be crushed from the pressure.
“N, no!”
“Get the Food God out of there! Quick!”
“Attack!!!”
The poisoned players staggered as they quickly cast their attack skills to protect Minhyuk, while trying to get him out of his predicament. Hundreds of shields were created and formed in front of Vormon’s glare.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Thankfully, they managed to keep him and his attack at bay. But then, Vormon whispered, “Watch in despair. Destruction.”
Vormon knew full well how much terror he could bring to these humans. They would get chills if they so much as thought about his terrifying figure. He would be their worst nightmare. But…
“Haack! Ptew! I want to eat lizard meat!!!” Minhyuk shouted as he grinned at Vormon. Vormon grew furious at Minhyuk’s expression. He tightened the grip of the roots that wrapped around Minhyuk’s body.
“Keuaaaaaack!”
[Your HP has fallen below 20%.]
[Your HP has fallen below 10%.]
[…fallen below 6%.]
The world fell into despair.
[This is the end.]
[There’s no hope.]
[But they gave their all and did a very good job.]
[The only way to kill Vormon is to call for troops from each of the continents and attack him.]
“We… we lost…”
“In the end, it was impossible for us, huh?”
“…Nevertheless, we still gave our all in this fight. Right?”
“Yeah.”
Everyone had already fallen into despair. But suddenly, a voice rang loud and clear among their desperate sighs.
“My son… no, my Lord…”
The voice shook from repressed anger and fury.
“How dare you…!”
Then, the voice spat out, “Absolute Pinnacle Spear”
Minhyuk, who’s mind was already turning blank, shouted weakly, “N…no…!”
Minhyuk knew full well what the skill Absolute Pinnacle Spear was, and who was using it. It was a skill with a terrible penalty wherein both of the body’s HP and MP would instantly reach zero upon casting. However, it was a one-shot kill skill that would raise the skill user’s attack power by 3,500%.
Minhyuk had once said to the person that had this skill, ‘Grandpa. Even if you don’t want to make coffee anymore, don’t ever use this Absolute Pinnacle Spear. Got it?’
‘Hohohoho. Son… No, my Lord, don’t worry. I won’t!’
Alas, the power of the skill was being used right now.
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa—
At that moment, the entire world began to shake. Both the earth and the sky trembled as something shot through the air as fast as a bullet. It emitted a bright light that shone light in this world that had been filled with despair.
“What… what the hell is that?!”
“Heeeeok!”
And that huge beam of light, which to be exact, was Ghost Spear Ben covered in a bright light, pierced through Vormon’s thick skin and stabbed him straight through his neck.
Craaaaaaack—
The flesh in Vormon’s neck was torn badly from the spear that pierced through him. With that strike, the poison that was eroding the players’ organs, as well as the roots that squeezed Minhyuk, disappeared completely.
Thuuuuud—
Vormon shrieked loudly as he collapsed on the ground with a loud thud.
“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck!!!”
In front of this gigantic being, an old man immediately turned around and rushed in front of Minhyuk, who had fallen on the ground. He gently lifted Minhyuk’s hands and smiled kindly at him before saying gently, “Please don’t give up, my King.”
Ghost Spear Ben turned around once again. He stabbed his spear deep into the ground and folded his arms before glaring at Vormon without any hesitation. And slowly, his stalwart figure began to turn into ash, disappearing with the wind.
