32 Frying Pan Killer
Ztube, a worldwide video uploading site. Somin was an active uploader in Ztube. Her main content was centered around Athenae, a topic that was famous and well-known in the world. She was in her mid-20s but she had small bones so she did not look like she was old. She was also able to garner high views with her content about Versal before.
Just as she finished her business in the bathroom, she received a phone call from her friend.
[Somin-ah. Go to the official homepage of Athenae and check out this interesting video.]
Interesting video?
Watching other people’s videos was also something meaningful for her. She would be able to follow the current trend if she knew the content that the other people made. Obviously, the current trend these days was all about Athenae users. And if the owner of the video was someone that had a handsome or beautiful person then it was like an icing on the cake.
She hurriedly accessed the Athenae Homepage at the urging of her friend.
[Number 1. Frying Pan Killer.]
She was quite taken aback with the number 1 on the realtime search keyword list.
“Frying pan killer?”
[You’ll definitely thank me for that.]
She clicked on the video curiously.
The video showed a man with a frying pan on his back fighting with a mini troll.
‘Wow...... He’s really handsome. How long has it been since my eyes had been cleansed like this?’
She was freely admiring the handsome frying pan user. At the same time, the mini troll sent out an attack magic towards the user.
Then...
[Clang!]
The magic attack that was sent out was reflected back towards the mini troll.
‘Magical reflection......?!’
She was startled.
As far as she knew, magical reflection was an ability inherent to mages. This was exclusive for mages that lack HP and high-leveled mages that were above the 6th class.
But the frying pan is capable of that?
What was more, the mini troll that was hit by the reflected attack couldn’t come back to its senses.
Somin thought that the video had checked all of the three things that a video needed to become a hit.
A fresh content.
A unique character.
And a face that can attract the crowd.
As she continued to watch the video, Somin was shocked to the point that she even let out gas.
Fwoooooosh━
“That’s Suicidal Rovan, right?”
[How was it? Aren’t you thankful?]
“Hey. I’m busy!”
[Kim So......]
Somin ended the call before her friend could scold and nag at her.
Versal’s Rovan. He was called the Mad Devil or the Crazy Hunter. She had posted plenty of videos about him and had personally seen all of his raid videos. He was an extremely famous user. Anyone who played Versal would know who Rovan was.
He even fought the demon, Valental, alone!
At the time when he hunted Valental he was also given another name.
Suicidal Rovan.
He was a genius in combat.
‘He’s a player that has been recognized by the country’s gaming experts. He’s one of the few genius gamers with high physical, combat prowess and sense of humor!’
And he appeared in the virtual reality gaming scene once again. She was quite happy about this fact, but the thing that made her happier was the fact that she was somewhere near the Shrieking Hills too.
She quickly accessed and logged in the game.
Her nickname in Athenae was Joo-ah. She had the hidden class Unusual Genius. And her special ability was ‘Ignoring Restrictions’. With her special ability, she could override and ignore all the restrictions and conditions needed before entering a dungeon or a field. However, if she used her special ability then she would not be able to attack or acquire any items inside the dungeon. But it was entirely possible to take videos and photos inside the dungeons and fields.
This was the best ability for a Ztuber!
She rushed to find Rovan.
‘Maybe I will even be able to see the suicidal battle again......!’
Of course, it wasn’t a 1:1 battle but a fight against plenty of monsters.
Then...
‘Found him!’
Joo-ah was extremely delighted when she saw the backs of Rovan and the frying pan user. They were facing each other.
‘What’s this? Why does it look like they’re going to fight......?’
The moment she thought that they would start a fight, Joo-ah knew that it would garner a high number of views.
Her heart fluttered excitedly as she started to stream a live broadcast.
***
Rovan did not only enjoy hunting, he also quite enjoyed fighting against other users.
And because he was extremely skilled, he even challenged the demons in Versal. They were creatures that no one in the country had ever raided successfully. That was when the codename suicidal was thrown at him.
He really wanted to fight with Minhyuk with everything that he got.
He was able to parry the flurry of swords and counter the rampant sword alone. This just showed how great Rovan’s abilities were. However, one of the swords penetrated through his defense and slashed at his sides.
Slaaash!
[You have received a fatal blow.]
Rovan saw his HP plummet in an instant. A large chunk of his HP was gone with just one slash.
Spurt!
Spurt!
Blood spurted out all over his body. In an instant, his HP had dropped to less than 40%. The falling blood slowly rose and became sharp weapons. Rovan’s eyes glittered sharply.
[Blood Manipulation]
[Any blood within a 5-m radius can be turned into weapons that can be used to attack the enemies.]
The drops of blood coagulated and quickly turned into the shape of a weapon. It quickly enlarged and attacked and parried Minhyuk’s rampant sword.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Then, from the clashing weapons in the air, a spear brushed past Minhyuk’s sides.
Spurt!
[You have recovered 2% of your HP.]
[HP absorption has failed.]
[You have recovered 1% of your HP.]
[You have recovered 4% of your HP.]
[HP absorption has failed.]
Minhyuk’s blood turned into beads that were sucked and absorbed by Rovan. His wounds started to recover at a rapid pace.
After the duration of the rampant sword ended, Minhyuk took a step back. At the same time, Rovan also took a step back with his sword.
Minhyuk hurriedly took out some food and ate.
Fwooooosh!
His wounds also began to recover at a rapid pace.

Joo-ah blinked blankly at the incredible sight that was happening in front of her.
She wasn’t the only one who couldn’t believe what was happening. Real-time comments had started to pour in and appear on her live broadcast.
[hsfdf44: OMG... That’s Versal’s Rovan over there right, the suicidal. Scary.]
[VeryAmazing!: Where did that come from? It looks like he’s whistling.]
[adadl3: I don’t think he’s whistling...... Rovan looks like he’s in a rush. It seems like he’s using all of his strength.]
They did not know the exact details about the skill but they had no choice but to be surprised. They could see that Rovan would lose the moment his Berserker’s Madness’ duration ended.
The viewers continued to argue with each other.
[gadadl579: Who do you think will win?]
[Kyaakak: Rovan. I think he’s just taking care of him. Yeye.]
[Yuri: 222222]
[Carman: 3333333]
[gfdfadq7461: How can Rovan have plenty of fanboys and fangirls when he looks like a dog? Rovan’s out of breath. Just look at him.]
[Hororong: Where did you see it......? Nim, you look like shit......]
[gfdfadq7461: My mom says that I’m the most handsome in the world. Hahahaha.]
The viewers were arguing intensely when rankers suddenly appeared.
[Chaos: I’m User Chaos, currently at Lv398.]
[Carman: Oh. It’s Ghostblade Chaos!]
[Yuri: OMG...... Chaos-nim! I’m your White Chaos! We’re with you Chaos!]
[Chaos: Thank you. Hehe;; To get to the point, a video of the Frying Pan Killer in the Shrieking Hills was posted before. If you think about it then they’re supposed to be in there and that’s a hunting ground that Lv100~120 users usually frequent.]
[Hororong: yeye. That’s right.]
[VeryAmazing!: But why are you mentioning this?]
[Chaos: I don’t think you’re aware of this but let me say that again just to emphasize. Right now, they’re at around Lv100~120.]
Chaos was surprised about their combat prowess, however he was not aware that Minhyuk and Rovan crazily leveled up before. The level restrictions in the dungeon or field would not work if they leveled up inside. They would not be restricted even if they logged out as long as they did not leave the dungeon. But once they used the return scroll then the restrictions would be imposed on them.
[Koro: Are you saying that they’re only between Lv 100 to Lv 120? That’s crazy......]
It was just a lowkey comment from one of the users but the comment sections had become flooded after this comment.
Joo-ah murmured to herself as she looked at the chaotic comments.
“I thought the two of them were both over level 200...”
Of course she knew that the Shrieking Hills was a Lv100 hunting ground even before she came here. However, when she saw the battle between the two of them, she thought that they were over level 200 so she ignored those restrictions.
But in reality? Their levels were far below that...
Joo-ah, who was filming quietly, mumbled to herself as she continued to watch the two of them narrow the distance between them.
“Damn, so amazing......”

TL’s corner!!!
So... This chapter title was something that I added personally. I checked through the raws and saw that there was a missing chapter title since it suddenly jumped to 33 Hungry Monsters from 31 Poisonous Toad King. So I thought that the author forgot about the 32nd Chapter Title. And since the focus is our very own Frying Pan Killer and his iconic Frying Pan and Helmet, I decided to use Frying Pan Killer as the chapter title.
