15 The Battlefield's Dominator

"Ah, bastard. We're just going to force you to log-out. This hyung will make sure that it won't hurt when we're done."

Belo pulled his sword out and looked at Minhyuk who was in an attacking position from top to bottom.

Minhyuk was grabbing his sword with both hands. When Belo attacked him, he sloppily stopped his attack. He almost lost his hold on his sword.

Claaaaaaang—

[You have committed an act of poor etiquette.]

[User Belo is in a temporary chaotic state.]

[If the other party initiates an attack, the other party will not receive any penalty.]

'One man down.'

However, Minhyuk deliberately fell down with a scared expression on his face.

"This, this fXcker... w, why is it so scary in this game!"

"These hyungs are trying to kill you painlessly."

One user shot an arrow towards Minhyuk.

"Hiiiiiiiiik!"

His face looked very terrified but his eyes followed the exact trajectory of the arrow. He sloppily struck the arrow down.

[You have committed an act of poor etiquette.]

[User Dooms is in a temporary chaotic state.]

[If the other party initiates an attack, the other party will not receive any penalty.]

"This bastard, you're quite lucky."

"Kyahahaha, look at him trying to run away."

Then, another warrior user tried to kill Minhyuk with his axe.

"I'll split your head in two."

Fwooooooom!

The last one.

Claaaaaaang!

[You have committed an act of poor etiquette.]

[User Aras is in a temporary chaotic state.]

[If the other party initiates an attack, the other party will not receive any penalty.]

After hearing all of the notifications, Minhyuk changed his grip on his sword. From both hands, he now held it easily in one hand.

The axe that was being stopped by the sword was slowly being raised and pushed away.

"Huh......?"

Aras was a warrior user who focused on raising his power. However, he was confused when he felt that his axe was being pushed away by just one hand.

'What's this?'

Wasn't he shaking like a scared puppy just a few moments ago?

Because he was distracted, he did not quickly realize the situation he was in.

And at that moment...

Claaaaang!

Minhyuk pushed away the axe with all his strength. Aras was forced to take three steps back after he got pushed by his strength.

Minhyuk tightly clenched his fists as he quickly narrowed the distance between him and Aras.

He then struck out with an uppercut!

Craaaack!

Aras' body flew out in an arc and fell down with a thud.

Bang!

"Ah, I told you fXckers to stop. Really."

"Ugh, aaack......"

Aras, who was hit straight on his jaw, couldn't move his body. He was not able to stand up anymore. Then he saw something...

'W, what kind of hit was that. I, it was just one punch but my HP......'

Almost 40% of his HP was cut off from that hit.

Can a chef's punch be this strong? No, even a warrior class will not have this much strength. This doesn't make any sense.

"T, this is impossible......'

Belo's eyes were widened in disbelief.

"Hey, that big head Maplestory character [1]. Come over here."

Minhyuk talked to Belo.

[Bardy Swordsmanship]

[All 5 basic stats have a +12 increase for 6 minutes.]

[Haste]

[Your movement speed and attack speed have increased by 1.3 times for 10 seconds.]

Minhyuk has steadily increased his skills and eventually leveled up his Bardy Swordsmanship. That was the reason why there was an additional +3 increase in the stats and an additional minute of duration in the skill.

Bang!

He kicked the ground with his feet.

"Whaa!"

Belo's eyes widened further when he saw Minhyuk's speed. He was even faster than a Lv40 user.

[Warrior's Fury]

[There will be a +10 increase in your STR and STM for 1 minute.]

He quickly invoked his warrior skill.

The two swords soon collided.

Craash!

Fwooooosh!

At the moment of collision, flames shot out of Belo's sword.

[Salamander's Blaze]

[The attack will inflict continuous damage to the enemy.]

However, Minhyuk did not stop pressuring Belo with his strength. Belo's sword was pushed down.

Then...

Slaaash!

'Ah, what the hell is wrong with this bastard.'

He clicked his tongue. He wouldn't hang out with him if it wasn't for his money.

Then he answered the phone.

"Hello?"

[Oh, hey. Do you want to hear about the amazing method that I have thought of?]

'Ye, ye. Sure.'

Seoktae thought of just perfunctorily agreeing with him.

"A brilliant method?"

[Uh-huh. You know that there's an Orc Village 2km away from the camp, right?]

There was.

The Orc Village was a hunting ground for users at the same level as Seoktae.

[And you're a thief user, so go and drive those subjugation bastards down to the ground.]

"Huh......? What are you talking about?"

[Aiiii. You're a frustrating rascal. We've lost our hidden dungeon anyway. So let's just raid the subjugation force. And hit that chef bastard to death on the way. Ah, no. Won't the orcs kill them?]

'Wow, look at this tricky shit...'

It's not that bad of a plan.

Seoktae was a quick-footed thief. And orcs are mob monsters that usually attack first so it would be easy for him to lead them there. A single haste was enough for him to take those orcs to the subjugation force's campsite.

'But what about the other users......'

However, before he could even think about the welfare of the other users further, he heard Sungmin say...

[If you succeed, you will get the original promised money including the share of the others and I would add an additional 200,000 for you.]

"R, really?!"

[I'm your hyung, you punk. I will naturally not take back what I said. Will you do it?]

"Ooooooh. I'll do it!"

Seoktae nodded his head. It wasn't a difficult job. Because of his greed, he quickly threw away his guilty conscience about the other users who would potentially die.

Once the call was over...

"Kuhahahaha, it's almost about 4 million won!"

He shouted in joy.

At that moment...

"Are you still not sleeping?!"

He heard his mom's angry voice. Shocked with his mom's voice, he timidly answered back.

"I, I will go to sleep noooooow......"

Of course he had to go and sleep.

Oh Changwook came out to get a drink after waking up early in the morning.

There were quite a few people who were living in Minhyuk's 150-pyeong house.

As he went towards the refrigerator to get a cup of water, he checked Athenae's official homepage.

Smartphone addiction!

It was already a habit for him to check the best posts in Athenae's official homepage as soon as he woke up.

He then saw Minhyuk coming out of his room.

"You're awake?"

"Why did you get up this early?"

"Huhuhuhuhu."

Minhyuk smiled meaningfully at him. He thought of what he would eat this morning after finishing off Belo and his backstabbing friends last night.

"You'll be offended if you know. Huhuhu..."

"I'm getting offended just by looking at your expression."

Oh Changwook suddenly paused when he saw the best posts that he was checking out.

'What's this?'

This was what was written in the best post...

[A low-leveled chef's normal tonkatsu.]

"Normal tonkatsu?"

Minhyuk's expression turned strange when he heard his words.

Oh Changwook laughed when he checked the post.

"This is fake, this should be made by a craftsman. Sigh. What are they even saying......?"

"Is it a normal tonkatsu?"

Changwook showed his smartphone when Minhyuk approached him.

"Hey, look at this. Did you see? This was made by a Lv20 Chef. The attacking and defensive power increased? Sigh. Seriously, these guys are attention-seekers."

Minhyuk looked at his smartphone.

3rd best post.

There were over a thousand comments on the post. There was even a screenshot of the buff alert attached on the post after they had eaten Minhyuk's normal tonkatsu.

"Was this really that unbelievable?"

"Look at the comments."

Minhyuk turned his attention towards the comments section.

[sfkkf62: It's clearly fake. It's annoying so let's have a calm and quiet night.]

[MemilkunsLove: Why, are you saying that you're the captain of the cooks? Or was it cancer? My father is the president, if I fart then the doctors will come running to me and diagnose me with just the smell.]

[gsffdfl3: This isn't real, right?]

[jvfgncvmll: I'm currently a chef user. I can tell you that that's impossible. And the number 1 chef user in the country, Kim Seokhyun, said that that is a lot of buff and that it's completely fake.]

Footnotes

[2] 삼수생 a student who's preparing to take the exams for the third time after failing the first two times.

TL's corner!!!

Kim Seokhyun is so malicious. He's trying to spread bad rumors about Minhyuk. Saying that he's bluffing the buffs. Bad.

ALSO. Idk what happened to the previously named Two Consecutive Quick Assault, it suddenly became three. Perhaps it leveled up?

QC’s corner!

Kim Seokhyun is just jealous he can’t do what our Minhyuk can, despite supposedly being the best chef in the country. Lol.
