“Heok?!” Siegfried gasped after finally coming back to his senses.

He had just received his +10 Horse Fly, so he repeatedly told himself not to risk it, but he magically found himself standing in front of an enhancement machine by the time he opened his eyes.

“Wow...”

“He succeeded that? I think he can easily become a Ranker if he has a good class, no?”

“Sixteen... Damn...”

“Did he save his country in his previous life or something...?”[1]

The Adventurers around Siegfried looked at MassacreFlag with eyes full of respect before they felt the exact same feeling he was feeling right now.

“I’m going to try my luck too!”

“Fuck it! Me too!”

“Here goes nothing...”

They got inspired after seeing the successful enhancement of a +16 weapon and decided to try their luck as well, which led to a rise of Adventurers ruining their lives.

[Alert: The enhancement requested by Angrybird-nim has failed!]

[Alert: The item +11 Plasma Pulse Gun has been destroyed!]

[Alert: The enhancement requested by Yohoho-nim has failed!]

[Alert: The item +13 Bald Pride has been destroyed!]

[Alert: The enhancement requested by IEFF-nim has failed!]

[Alert: The item +13 Grate Battle Axe has been destroyed!]

The number of Adventurers who were successful in enhancing their gears increased, and some speculated that this was all thanks to those who had offered their gears as sacrificial offerings.

The scene in front of the enhancement machines looked like pandemonium.

“Do it! Do it!”

“Fuck this fucking game! I quit! Ptooey!”

“I... Arghhhhh... SUCCESSSS!”

“NOOOOO!”

“Hihi~ Hihihihihi~”

The enhancement fever caused by the +16 weapon had two different results for those courageous enough to test their luck. It was either joy or despair. Well, there were also those who went crazy and started laughing while despairing at the same time.

All sorts of human emotions could be seen in this place, and if this was a movie then it could be titled Theatrics of Emotions.

As expected, Siegfried was no exception.

‘Should I... Should I not...?’ He was stuck in a serious dilemma.

His head was telling him to resist the temptation, but something deep within his heart was continuously inciting greed in him. It was getting so bad that Siegfried started hearing voices in his head.

— You should enhance it~

“Who are you?!”

— Why is that important? What’s important right now is enhancement!

“What?! Are you trying to tempt me?”

— Tempt? No way~ I’m just being loyal to your desires~ You've already succeeded in enhancing your weapon to +15 before, right?

“That is...”

— It’s +12 if you manage to succeed just once, then use your coupon! And it’s +13 if you manage to enhance it again! Are you worried about failing? What’s the problem when you have a protection coupon?

“Hmm... That makes sense...”

— Do it if you’re a man! You’ll break even at worst!

“S-Should I...?”

In the end, he was convinced by the mysterious voice in his head and stood in front of the enhancement machine. It seemed the devil speaking in his mind got the better of him this time.

Kwachik...!

He tightly gripped his +10 Horse Fly and slowly pushed it inside the enhancement machine.

‘If I succeed... Just once...’ He told himself over and over again as he pushed Horse Fly deeper into the machine.

Hamchi pushed his way through the crowd and shouted, “Kyu! What are you doing here, owner punk?!”

“H-Huh?”

“We have a big problem! We have to go!”

“What?! What happened?!”

“War! The war has begun, and they have already started fighting! They asked me to bring you there! Kyuuu!”

“Really? Alright,” Siegfried replied and pulled out his +10 Horse Fly from the enhancement machine. He could not afford to waste time enhancing his weapon when the battle had already begun.

“Let’s go!”

“Kyu!”

Siegfried and Hamchi rushed to the Warp Gate.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

And behind him was the sound of dozens of failed enhancements echoing like fireworks.

***

“Phew... I almost blew this up even before getting the chance to use it...” Siegfried let out a sigh after emerging from the warp gate and arriving at the Bayaba Territory.

Reventon was hit by the skills thrown by the Adventurers.

“Argh!”

“Ack!”

Both Seung-Gu and Reventon screamed at the same time.

“Tsk... I guess I can’t do that this time...” Siegfried grumbled as his dreams of casting debuffs from the backlines were shattered.

He clenched his +10 Horse Fly and ran to the front lines.

“Hyung-nim!”

“Your Majesty!”

Seung-Gu and Reventon shouted at the same time upon seeing him.

Siegfried ran deeper behind enemy lines and shouted, “Keep shooting! I’ll take care of this side!”

There were at least five thousand on the enemy’s side.

“Who the hell is this crazy bastard?!”

“Has he gone insane?!”

“Die!”

“Die, you crazy bastard!”

The enemies attacked Siegfried with all their might, but they couldn't stop him.

Sseuuuu!

Siegfried had Irradiate on to kill the pesky flies, which were actually low-level enemies, swarming around him while he was evading the attacks of the stronger enemies with his godly reflexes.

He went even deeper behind enemy lines.

How deep?

He got so deep that he arrived at where the ranged damage dealers were gathered!

“Wow, there are many of them here,” Siegfried muttered in awe after seeing the sheer number of ranged damaged dealers. However, his amazement lasted only for a moment.

“Welp~ Thanks for coming, everyone! It’s time to go home!” Siegfried said before using Splitting Heaven and Earth.

Krwaaaang!

The area of effect offensive skill engulfed the Adventurers. Siegfried didn't even bother checking the aftermath of his skill. No, it was more like he couldn't do so.

Whoosh! Boom!

He didn't have the luxury to do so, as someone pointed at him and shouted, “Kill that bastard first!”

“Die!”

“He’s just a weakling!”

A group of powerful Adventurers appeared and ganged up on him.

However, Siegfried was not fazed in the slightest; he smirked as if welcoming them.

‘Now’s my chance,’ He thought as he gripped +10 Horse Fly tightly.

Fwaaaa! Fwaaaaah!

Seuruk...! Seuruk...!

He placed down Blaze Field and Shadow Swamp to debuff the enemies around him.

‘Let’s test this baby out!’

Then, he swung his +10 Horse Fly right after the debuff fields were placed and smashed the heads of the Adventurers.

Smack, Smack!

The moment the +10 Horse Fly connected with its first victim...

“Ah?!” Siegfried gasped.

Thud!

His enemy was on the ground, and his enemy's appearance would make anyone’s stomach churn at the sight of it.

“W-Where the hell did his head go?” Siegfried muttered in sheer disbelief.

The Adventurer’s head had gone missing.

However, Siegfried had to have gotten used to such a sigh by now, so why was he so surprised?

The reason was that his +10 Horse Fly hadn't stopped at pulverizing his enemy’s head into smithereens but even went as far as causing a huge depression in the headless body’s chest cavity. In other words, the damage dealt was so strong that it pulverized its target and still had room to cause more destruction.

“Huh? I killed a Level 240 in one blow?” Siegfried could not believe what he did just now.

The Level 240 Adventurer he killed just now was an Assassin, which was a class known for their low Defense and HP. However, just because it was a class considered as a piece of paper did not make killing it in one blow any less impressive!

“Is this... What Master said...?” he muttered and remembered Deus’ teachings.

“Kill them in one blow. It wouldn’t look cool if you have to hit them twice, so it has to be in a single blow.”

Siegfried finally understood what Deus meant by ‘it wouldn't look cool if you hit them twice.'

Ah! The ecstasy of killing someone in one blow!

Siegfried was captivated by the thrill of killing someone strong in a single blow.

However, he did not fool himself into thinking he was somebody. He shook his head and reminded himself, ‘No... No... This isn’t the true power of the Debuff Master. I just have a strong weapon right now. I can’t rely only on enhancements! I have to focus on becoming even stronger myself, too!’

He calmed himself down before swinging his +10 Horse Fly like a madman and enjoying the thrilling sensation of smashing every single head he came across.
