49 Ructo’s Tomb

They clearly saw it.

The moment the magic struck the frying pan behind Minhyuk, it bounced off. Buckle and the rest of his group knew one person who had this ability. It was none other than the Frying Pan Killer. They couldn’t help but feel flustered, this was something completely unexpected.

However, Buckle smiled deeply.

“That looks like a lot of artifacts, right?”

Yes, even if he was the Frying Pan Killer, there were still four people against him. Leo might have suffered a lot of damage from the magic reflection but he had recovered thanks to a potion. The last video that they had seen of the Frying Pan Killer was when he fought against the Cursed Knight Kohei. They would admit that the Frying Pan Killer had won against him with his strength but they were confident that he would only be similar or a bit stronger than that time. What more if their number, which was four, was involved?

It’s more than enough.

[Buckle: Javin, go in front of him! Body slam him!]

[Javin: Yes!]

Javin was also quite excited.

Maybe he’ll drop that frying pan?

She quickly stepped forward.

[Silver Golem’s Blessings]

[Your defense will have a x2 increase.]

She stepped forward confidently as she held her sword with a coy smile on her face. The artifact that she was currently using was a unique artifact. Her artifact was solely focused on defense. It had no other special abilities except for having an increase of 500 in defense. In addition, once they combined their forces even if it was a Lv400 user, they would still have a hard time breaking through their defenses.

Tak!

Minhyuk looked at their confident smiles blankly as he giggled at them.

“You’re laughing?”

Buckle thought that he had lost his mind.

At that moment, Minhyuk used Step and took two steps back. Then, he stabbed his greatsword on the ground.

“Deep (Burst).”

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam━

Sword blades suddenly rose from the ground. The fastest of them, Baron, threw himself away instinctively to avoid the danger. The same also went for Buckle. However, Javin and Leo were not so lucky. The lower half of their bodies were penetrated by the swords.

“FXcker......?”

Javin mumbled to herself. However, at that exact same moment......

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The sword blades exploded strongly and powerfully.

“Kyaaaaaaaaak!”

“Keuheoook!”

Buckle was pushed back from the aftermath of the explosions.

‘Sh, shit......!’

There was definitely a 60 level difference between them.

But how the hell did this happen?

Then, Buckle saw something more shocking. His HP had been cut off by 20%. He was fortunate that he was able to escape the heart of the explosion but if he had been caught then he was sure that he would have been forced to log out.

Leo had already been forced to log out as he turned gray. Even their tanker, Javin, looked like she was out of sorts and almost down even though she had used her defensive skills.

“Kgghk!”

She suddenly fell down while vomiting a mouthful of blood. Baron’s eyes narrowed dangerously when he saw this scene as soon as he escaped from the explosion. Buckle hurriedly whispered instructions to Baron.

[Buckle: He unexpectedly has an area of attack skill. But the punk’s using a greatsword. That sword is huge, long and heavy so his swing speed would be slower than regular swords. He also won’t be able to use both of his hands. We can kill him with your speed and my cooperation.]

[Baron: Yes!]

Baron’s eyes glinted sharply. Assassins were usually quick when they were attacking. He would use that to his advantage and drive the punk into a corner.

Vwoooooong!

Baron turned as he disappeared like a smoke. Then, in a blink of an eye, he appeared behind Minhyuk. As soon as he moved, Buckle ran straight towards Minhyuk. He swung his axe high up. He was also in the warrior class but he was more focused on his speed.

Sheeeeeeeeeek!

Baron’s black dagger swung at Minhyuk’s neck. Minhyuk turned around and......

Clang!

Buckle smiled wickedly.

‘Your back is defenseless. Moron!’

But at that moment...

Claaaang!

A creature suddenly squeezed out of a small opening in space and slapped his axe away.

“A, a pig?”

It was literally a pig. A baby pig blocked his axe with a spatula and effectively defended Minhyuk’s back. Then, he bursted out laughing.

Baron suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned to look around. He looked above, behind and below him but he wasn’t nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, a sword suddenly appeared and thrusted in front of him.

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab!

[Rampant Sword. Connection (Inherit)]

[One strike will result in 7 powerful strikes with an additional 40% damage.]

“Keheoooook......!”

Baron’s body was stabbed continuously by a greatsword.

Right now, the power of Rampant Sword, Connection (Inherit) had become extremely strong. The only reason was the greatsword that Minhyuk had equipped. Rampant Sword, Connection (Inherit) was already a scary force with just the seven strikes with additional 40% damage. But what if these seven strikes were used with a greatsword with a higher attack power? Of course, the effectiveness would be increased.

Baron was taken aback when he saw his HP being cut down by 20% with every attack that struck his body. He was eventually forced to log out.

After he finished dealing with Baron, Minhyuk turned around to see Buckle being forced to log out. Kongie that was standing next to the grayed out Buckle was tilting his head at him as he looked at him innocently.

[Kongie is looking at you curiously.]

It was like he was telling him ‘I don’t know anything at all~’. Minhyuk also tilted his head in confusion but soon shook his head. There was only one person left.

Javin.

She was already out of commission. She couldn’t even move her body and she was slowly dying due to continuous bleeding.

‘N, no......!’

She was currently in a full chaotic state. It was the same for the rest of her guild members who were forced to log out. Having a full chaotic state meant that they had filled the bar. Assuming that the chaotic state had a bar with a limit of 1 million, then they had already filled it to the brim.

The number of people that they had killed were innumerable. If they died while they were in the full chaotic state then they would receive double the penalty compared to ordinary users. If she died, then she wouldn’t only drop one or two artifacts. She shivered just looking at the outcome of Buckle and the rest. They had dropped plenty of gold and artifacts. They would even have to face their levels going down.

She slowly crawled up as she vomited another mouthful of blood on the floor.

“S, sorry...... I didn’t mean to but please forgive me just this once. I won’t do it again.”

She even shed some tears. However, she thought about piercing him in the abdomen with the dagger hidden on her chest. She would pretend to be pitiful as she hugged her body in pain and she would surprise him with an attack once he got close to her.

She knew he was a good man. Even though he took all of the artifacts and gold that dropped from their hunt before but she knew that he still had a sense of innocence. He looked happy when he ate that bibimguksu. And he also had that simple smile, that simple smile that he unconsciously let out from time to time. She knew that she might have one final chance if she did this well.

Just when she was crawling like that, she turned her nose down as she slowly took out the dagger that was hidden in her bosom. As soon as she got out, she saw Minhyuk holding a huge frying pan. She could see him twisting his body as if he was trying to swing a huge baseball bat.

“You want me to forgive you? You tried to kill me thrice.”

“Ho, hoho. F, forgive......”

Clang!

Javin flew back after being hit by the frying pan. Minhyuk approached her to finish her off since she looked like she was still not dead yet.

“B, but before you kill me, I have a question......”

She wanted to know something before she died.

“Are you an eunuch?!”

Minhyuk tilted his head at her.

‘What the hell is she saying?’

“I, I’m pretty right. Huh? Aren’t I extremely pretty?”

Minhyuk frowned when he heard her words.

‘She’s pretty?’

He tilted his head as he pondered deeply. Then, he said.

“This is a serious answer.”

Then, Minhyuk spoke what was on his mind.

“To be honest, Monk is much prettier than you.”

“......Mo, Monk?”

The image of a monk suddenly popped up in her head. Those little monkey monsters who picked their teeth wickedly. They were picking their teeth as they grinned and laughed at her!

‘A monk gave me a banana once before.’

At that time, the monk looked so cute and sweet to him. And it looked a lot prettier and cuter in Minhyuk’s eyes since it gave him a banana. Maybe about 10,000 times cuter?

His expression looked sincere. It was as if he was really telling her the truth.

“Hey, you fXcker®$!$a®#%®!$!$!”

Stab!

Minhyuk immediately logged her out. He looked at her grayed out body in suspicion.

“Why did she keep on asking me if she was pretty? She has been doing it since earlier too. Is she a princess or something......”

In his mind, she was someone that was less pretty than a monk. Minhyuk picked up their dropped artifacts and gold in confusion. He couldn’t help but blink his eyes in a daze when he saw the drops.

‘Ho?’

Among the items that Buckle dropped, there was a parchment. Minhyuk reached out with his hand and......

[You have acquired a Parchment of Rewards Choice.]

[The Parchment of Rewards Choice can only be used in the sixth trial of Ructo’s Tomb.]

“......Huh?”

***

TL’s corner!

We all know how this one’s going to be used. *wink wink*
