As he ran, Minhyuk quickly analyzed their surroundings and their situation.

The exact number of mini trolls running towards them was eleven. From what Minhyuk knew from his fight earlier, the mini troll's magic did not have any effect on him.

'Compared to regular trolls, the actual power that a mini troll can exert is much lower.'

Originally, the trolls were at Lv250 but it seemed like the mini trolls could only exert power equivalent to someone at Lv100. There was only one reason why the other users tagged them as troublesome. It was because they could use magic. However, Minhyuk already found out earlier that it did not work on him.

[Ellie’s Swordsmanship]

[All stats will have a 15% increase for 5 minutes.]

[Evasion rate has increased by 30%.]

[Fatal Strikes rate has increased by 30%.]

Ellie's Swordsmanship, just like Hepas' Legendary Frying Pan, had the ability to increase all of his stats by 15%.

'It seems like my Ellie's Swordsmanship is also improving. It will probably level up soon.'

That wasn't all. Since Minhyuk had just increased his level by 1 earlier, he was now at Lv97. He was able to receive a surprising amount of EXP even after he divided the EXP with Rovan when he killed the mini troll earlier.

Not long after, Minhyuk leaped forward and slammed his frying pan on one of the mini trolls that was roaring loudly.

Clang!

[You have dealt a fatal blow.]

He quickly passed by the mini troll with its head smashed in. Then, he swiftly activated Rampant Sword.

[Rampant Sword.]

[A flurry of rampant swords with additional 30% attack power will be created for 5 seconds.]

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

The frying pan in his hand hit the mini trolls' heads one by one. It was so fast that it even left afterimages. The frying pan's attack power was at 400 and with the combination of Ellie's Swordsmanship, its attack power had increased exponentially! In addition, every time he hit a mini troll on the head, he could hear a clear and loud sound!

"Sounds perfect!"

Minhyuk was in awe.

Suddenly, a mini troll launched an ice ball magic towards him. If an ice ball successfully hit its target, it could easily freeze the surrounding area. Minhyuk quickly stopped in his tracks and slapped the ice ball away with his frying pan.

[Magical Reflection.]

[You have returned the magical attack back to your enemy.]

Bang!

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

The mini troll that was hit back with the reflected ice ball that it casted was rapidly covered in ice.

Minhyuk continuously slapped the magic attacks that were flying towards him with his frying pan.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

[Magical Reflection.]

[You have returned the magical attack back to your enemy.]

Rovan, who was running behind him, quickly joined the fray.

Slash!

The feeling of his thick greatsword getting stuck in the mini troll did not come, instead it felt like it slashed through.

Slash!

Fwoom!

Clang, clang!

The two men were able to fight eleven mini trolls without being pushed back!

[Berserker's Bloody Frenzy.]

[You have a high chance of returning the damage inflicted on you when your enemy strikes you.]

As if to prove that Minhyuk was not the only one that was strong in their party, Rovan's body glowed red.

Slash!

A mini troll tried to break his armor with its axe but its hands quickly broke down.

"Graaaaaaa!"

The Berserker's Bloody Frenzy had returned the damage!

[Greatsword's Linked Swordsmanship.]

[You will be able to swing your greatsword at four times its normal speed.]

Rovan gently lifted the large and heavy greatsword with one hand. He quickly struck out the mini trolls that were surrounding him.

Slash!

Slaaaaash!

Slash!

Slaaaash!

Meanwhile, Minhyuk was quickly moving around and slapping the HPs of the mini trolls down to zero before they could even regenerate.

Clang!

"One shot!"

"Ah. No. Wait. Let's do it after an hour......"

"Bbiiiiiiiiiii!"

"Ack!"

Minhyuk knew that his party member was strong and could hunt for quite a long time. He was also the same.

This is the chance to rush up and achieve Lv150!

He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

Monsters began to flock to where they were. Their numbers were more than the numbers from earlier. That wasn't the end of it all. From a little distance away from them, Minhyuk suddenly stretched his frying pan.

'This crazy punk...... what is he going to do again......!'

At that moment, fire spread out from his frying pan.

[Fire.]

[Damage will be continuously inflicted once they touch the fire.]

'Ah. What the hell. Are you a mage, a chef or a warrior?! This 3®$#A@%@@%.'

Rovan was now completely confused. He saw Minhyuk quickly injuring the mob nearby as he used his aggro skill to pull the aggro of more than twenty monsters.

He thought that he was the one who would be using him as an attachment during his leveling frenzy but it turned out that he was the one who became an attachment.

'He'll definitely get tired of this. He'll stop in two hours.'

He was dreaming a futile dream.

***

After four hours.

"Pl, please...... Can we stop hunting for a moment? There's no one in the world who would continuously hunt for four hours and not even take a break!"

Rovan had a pleading look on his face. He felt like he was completely exhausted in their four hours of hunting. He was as exhausted as a man who just came back from his honeymoon.

"Didn't you tell me earlier that a Berserker is like an energizer, and you will never get tired? You even have the recovering ability. What's wrong with you?"

Rovan was someone that was well known and famous in Versal for his determination and persistence in hunting. He could even clear a dungeon with such a remarkable speed. The only reason why he could do that was because he kept on going even when the others were taking a rest. However, no matter how determined or persistent he was, he really couldn't keep up with this madman.

He thought...

'Is this the reason under this man's strength? He might have done this and that... But he always continued to do it without any rest at all.'

His level was even lower than Rovan's level right now. That was why Rovan asked him...

"Why are you going as far as not taking any breaks, do you really want to be that strong?"

Minhyuk looked at him seriously and frankly told him his reason.

"I want to eat ducks."

"......Yes?"

"It's because I want to eat ducks."

"N, no. You've already killed a lot of ducks!"

"Ah, Nim!"

Minhyuk looked at him and said...

"We've only killed 40 magic ducks. It's just 40, it could easily slip away from our grasps. You don't know this, but if they're just a little bit then they would easily break the flow of eating once they're gone."

"You've killed 40 and you still think that your flow when eating will stop......"

Does that even make sense? was the thought that flashed through Rovan's head. Then he thought hard and deep before nodding his head.

'Ah, maybe it really will......?'

Earlier, he saw Minhyuk suddenly pulling out 6L of gatorade and drinking it in one go. Then he heard him say 'Oh, I've finally moistened my throat.'.

"Phew. If that's the case, then we can take a break while I'm cooking."

"Wow, finally.....!"

Rovan was deeply moved. He even bowed at a 90 degree angle to show his gratitude.

"Thank you. Thank you. I'm saved. Thank you."

I can finally take a rest! My god. I have been hunting for 4 hours straight!

Of course he was able to level up like crazy. He was able to increase his level by 10 in that 4 hours of pure torture. However, he never wanted to experience such a crazy thing again.

He wasn't really complaining about how long they hunted. His problem was the number of monsters. The monsters flock to them in the dozens. He could still feel that bone-chilling dread that he felt when the monsters attacked them from all sides. That feeling was something that he felt for four hours straight. At that time, Rovan clearly saw how strong Minhyuk was.

And right now, Minhyuk was preparing to cook while the lazy(?) Rovan rested.

"What are you going to make?"

Rovan asked him with a look of anticipation.

Minhyuk might be a crazy and strange person in Rovan's eyes but he still acknowledged one thing.

The food that he cooks is really delicious!

When he was out of breath and tired earlier, Minhyuk shouted at him 'This pains my heart!' then tore the bread from his hot dog buns and gave it to him.

'No. If this person is truly generous then he should have given me the hotdog too!'

But he was extremely hungry at that moment so he quickly gobbled up the bread.

It was truly delicious!

He told him that he made it himself. That was why Rovan was sure about his cooking skills. That was why he was looking at him excitedly.

Minhyuk smiled meaningfully at him and told him what he was going to cook.

"Duck bulgogi."

TL’s corner!!!

I wonder how duck bulgogi tastes like.
