Chapter 225: Min's revenge

Llyne Kingdom;

In the wild zone of level-200, a team of ten players entered the dungeon that's located at the foot of the mountain. All of them are human.

The party contained a Guardian, a paladin, a gunner, a Wizard, two Blademasters, a necromancer, a summoner, and two Healers.

All of them are around level-170. Despite their levels, none of the beasts in the area were able to kill even one of them.

"Shall we try legendary difficulty or play safe and go with Heroic?" the captain of the team, who was none other than Elyssa, asked a man beside her who was a professional gamer hired by SGC's CEO to work as their mentor.

He answered with a firm tone, "of course, legendary. Heroic won't give much EXP. Our task is to reach level-200 by tomorrow. By the way, what's the record?"

Elyssa replied, "Hmm, I think it's around 4 hours 45 minutes, give or take a couple of minutes."

He clenched his fist, "Then, get ready. We only do legendary dungeons, once a day. So, don't waste it. No matter what, we can't lose to that A-division ba*****s. They took our level-180 dungeon record; we will take their level-200."

This is a team filled with top B-division members of the SGC main branch. Unlike A-division that is filled with all-rounders, this division is considered specialists who excel in one department like evasion, strategy, physical strength, etc… 

Because their remaining strengths are average, they are usually looked down on by A-division. So, they are constantly at odds with each other. Since their mentors are once rivals, the two divisions often compete against each other mostly for dungeon records, and rare materials gathering.

Back to the cave, following his advice, Elyssa selected the legendary grade difficulty.

Everyone received a usual notification.

*Ding! You entered the tower of Mariuk.

Everyone made their way to the first floor, which was filled with dozens of tiny rocky Golems that will explode once they die.

Four and a half hours later;

Elyssa dashed towards the legendary grade boss from behind and jumped high, slashing its head vertically.

There was a white aura covering the katana as he dealt the critical damage, killing the Dungeon boss.

*Ding! You Emberstone Golem died. You receive 13 million EXP.

The ten of them received 13 million experience points and some of them leveled up.

Unlike Wil, who finished everything alone and gained all the EXP, since they played together, the EXP received is also divided amongst them regardless of each of their contributions.

Elyssa smiled as she mumbled, "184… 16 more to go… I bet Bran will be surprised…"

Looking at the dungeon time, their mentor clapped as the team collected the drops. 

*Clap* *Clap* "Guys, we have beaten the A-division's record by at least 15 minutes. Good job. We have 3 more dungeon tries. Now, let's take a ten minutes break and get back to the level-190 dungeon. We have to snatch our record once again."

Uru Kingdom;

"You ba****d… How dare you…" Cericia hollered as her men were being slaughtered by the skeletons. They came to capture the guardian beast of the kingdom after finding its whereabouts but didn't expect this mercenary to foil their plans at the last second.

While the undead army was busy massacring their 500 member team, she and her expert helpers were being stalled by a level-200 Death knight, Min and his undead lich were engaging in a battle against a giant Boa constrictor.

"No…" She screamed in age as he successfully killed it in front of her. With her resources, Cericia was able to find out that possessing a guardian beast will make one a prince or a princess, and the killer of such a beast will become a close friend of the King.

Either way, it should be fine for her. Even though she found out its location before the update, Cericia carefully planned to gather professional gamers from a gaming company called Atom. They have a certain reputation in Pregas city.

The update introducing a contract system helped her further. All 2* or above Appraisers can create a system contract. When both of the parties signed on it, an agreement will be taken place.

Once it has been formed, neither of them can break it. Failure to comply with the agreement or breaking it will cause a huge penalty. So, she was sure that those experts won't also stab her from behind.

Even if they do out of greed, not only she will be compensated in the game as well as in real life, she can punish them by making their lives hell. After all, their operation base is located in the city where her father has the most influence.

But, she didn't expect this prick to spoil her weeks of preparation. 

As he successfully killed the beast, Death King (Min) turned towards them and ordered the Lich to join the fun. "You must be getting tired of living…" She threatens him once again.

"Haha…" He just laughs in response before his eyes turn cold, "do you think I'll simply cover in fear after you did that to me."

Just then, the experts she hired summoned Heroic+ grade battle companions.

Looking at that, he raised the legendary+ grade undead skull, "Arise my soldiers… Come and serve your Master."

Undead beasts rose from the ground. Cericia was taken aback to see these beasts that were killed by them while they are on their way, now resurrected by Min.

Combining with the skeletons, there must be around 200-300 undead creatures among them.

He then further said, "Erodes, Accept the aura of death."

Strange energy released from the skull and hit the lich, making its stats rose by 30% temporarily.

The lich used a skill, temporarily binding her.

Her eyes shook. She glared at him in rage, "this time, I'll throw you into prison and make sure you will never see the light. I'll even make your parents pay for it."

His voice deepened as he raised his arms towards her. "Chains of Death."

Thick black-colored chains erupted from the ground stabbing her from all directions, ending her life. After killing the rest of them, he collected the equipment and sent a message to someone.

Death King: Sir, I followed your instructions and successfully eliminated Cericia and her men. I also killed the guardian beast.

Silver general: Good job. How does it feel to take revenge?

Death King: people say that revenge is bittersweet. I think I understand.

Silver general: Good that you found out very quickly. I thought you would say it was very satisfying.

Death King: Nah! I'm not the type to enjoy the revenge and waste my time but still, I want to kill her again. She threatened my family. 

Silver general: Then, go ahead and kill her and her guild members again and again until you get satisfied. As for the safety of you and your family, you don't need to worry about that. The scarlet group will take care of it. Just be there at Deloris town of the Llyne Kingdom before the migration gets closed.

Death King: I understand.

Closing the message box, Min proceeded to leave there, dispelling his army.

Two days ago;

At a convenience store, Wil and Silver are sitting opposite Min.

"Thank you for rescuing me back then…" Min bowed being grateful to him. "But, I cannot sacrifice my freedom. I like being a lone wolf."

He politely rejected Wil's offer. Silver frowned. 

"Silver, wait outside for a bit." Wil suddenly asked him to leave. Before he misunderstands something, Wil hurriedly said, "he'll be embarrassed if you were to listen to this."

Silver wondered what it is and Min frowned, thinking whether this guy intends to blackmail him or something.

As soon as Silver left, Wil said, "Do you know that I'm close to Jiwon?"

"What are you trying to say?" His expression isn't good at the moment. As soon as Wil dragged her crush into this discussion, Min thought whether this guy is also trying to woo her.

He knew that Wil only rescued him because he was her classmate. He once confirmed with her that she wasn't dating anyone. So, that's left him wonder whether he's a competitor.

Not to mention, Jiwon once rejected someone's confession stating that her ideal type is someone who gives a brotherly feeling. Someone who's a few years older than her. She wants to date that kind of person.

Min, at the moment, wondered whether they are secretly dating and this guy is revealing to him as a way of taking revenge for rejecting his offer. But, Wil's following words surprised him.

"It's obvious that you have a crush on her. Join my guild and I can set you up with her. How about it?" Wil stared into his eyes. "Now, are you interested?"
