Sweat was pooling in Chairman Kang Minhoo’s hands as he stared at the TV screen.

[Player Carr started to run towards Player Minhyuk while shouting loudly!]

[Do they know each other?]

His son, Kang Minhyuk, also had a dream. He wanted to become a world-class gold medalist in kendo. That was his child’s dream. After he won that unofficial competition, he got a chance to spread his wings. But not long after that, a disease called ‘Bulimia nervosa’ struck him.

However, Kang Minhoo knew that his son fought against this disease more fiercely and strongly than anybody else. He kept on working out and exercising even though he said that he wanted to stop and felt in trouble. He knew it was to solve the ‘regret’ from that time. Although he was not able to become a ‘gold medalist’, perhaps Minhyuk could solve that regret right now.

However, the commentators were saying the contrary.

[No matter how fast Player Minhyuk dealt with those four players with his amazing abilities, his opponent is still Carr, a gold medalist.]

[It’s a losing battle.]

Then, the swords of the two young men collided.

***

Clang!

Minhyuk quickly swung his sword and defended against Carr’s attack. He dug in and penetrated in an instant as he stabbed him in the stomach.

Clang!

Carr gently defended as he aimed for his head.

Once.

Clang!

Twice.

Clang!

Thrice.

Clang!

But Carr could not create any gap. No, he was even able to attempt counterattacks at him.

Shwoooook!

He twisted his body to avoid the sword aiming at his side as he slashed strongly from top to bottom.

Clang!

He wondered if he could get some more force if he attacked him from behind. Meanwhile, Minhyuk dissipated the force by rolling around once.

Dash!

Carr began to run backwards while Minhyuk ran after him.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

Sparks kept on pouring out whenever their swords met. Carr ran until he got near a wall. Then, he stomped on the wall as he used this force to stab Minhyuk strongly. Minhyuk skillfully twisted his body to avoid the attack while he aimed for his opponent’s neck.

Vwooooosh!

Carr avoided the attack as his entire center spinned with just a twist of his toes.

“W, wow......”

Jeffie burst out in admiration. He thought that Minhyuk would not be able to hold out against Carr. But contrary to his expectations, Minhyuk was not losing ground against Carr’s flamboyant sword skills.

[Wh, what’s going on......?]

[Player Minhyuk is not losing an inch of ground with this fight against the gold medalist Carr......!]

[Something entirely unbelievable is happening right in front of us!!!]

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

The cheers and screams in the audience stands were getting hotter and hotter.

Meanwhile, Carr couldn’t help but be surprised as he continued to clash swords with Minhyuk.

‘His skills are not rusty at all......!’

It did not rust at all. It even looks like he had been undergoing special training for a long time too.

Flash!

At that moment, Minhyuk’s sword was stabbing straight towards his neck. Carr quickly struck out to defend. He couldn’t stop the chills running down his spine. If he hadn’t reacted quickly then his neck would have definitely been pierced by that strike.

Locke and Khan were also battling against the other players.

“Khan. Throw it to me!”

“Okey dokey!”

Khan, who was moving swiftly, slapped the face of one of the players that blocked their way.

“Keup!”

He grabbed the player that was holding onto his bruised nose and threw it at Locke, who was lying on the floor.

[Eight Legendary Greatswords.]

[Eight strong sword attacks will hit one player. One attack will have an additional 140% damage.]

A huge greatsword appeared and dropped down from the air. The other swords appeared and stuck to the ground with Minhyuk at the center.

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

Minhyuk could see that the swords that got stuck in the ground showed off an unusual energy.

“......I can’t believe that he got caught in such a skill.”

The remarks of Jackal, the second in the official domestic rankings, rang loudly in the VIP stands. Jackal was donned with the name Black Star since all of his artifacts, even his suit, was dyed in black. And his words as a Lv472 user proved to be quite catching.

“Ah...... Jackal-nim has fought with Carr before, right?”

Jackal smiled bitterly as he nodded at one of the tankers’ words.

“That’s right. At first, I thought that it was just a walk in the park but that skill killed me. That ability can trap and lock people up like bugs caught in a spider web. And its power is so formidable that a player will not be able to penetrate through it. I can tell...... because I was not able to penetrate through it......”

“......”

“......”

The users readily agreed with him. After all, Jackal was strong enough to be ranked second in the official domestic rankings. But not long after, a woman suddenly said......

“But I think he’s going to break through it?”

“......Yes?”

Their heads turned around. They saw the Legend Guild’s guild master, Genie, sitting with her legs crossed.

“Everyone, I believe you have seen only one part of the Frying Pan Killer. Right?”

She looked quite confident as she uttered those words.

***

Minhyuk felt a sense of danger down to his very bones so he hurriedly tried to avoid it. However, a notification sounded in his ears.

[You can’t escape while the skill is still in effect.]

‘What kind of fraudulent ability is this......’

The eight swords began to glow brightly. When Minhyuk realized that he could not avoid it, he decided to break it down.

He used his Fluttering Sword.

Swoooooooosh─

Hundreds of falling leaves fell on the eight 3m-long greatswords. Suddenly, a bright flash erupted from one of the greatswords.

Ping─

The flash that appeared instantly slashed Minhyuk’s arms. His HP got cut down by at least five percent. Then, one after another, the swords flashed and attacked Minhyuk’s body.

Ping, ping, ping, ping─

“Kghhk!”

Minhyuk’s body started to bleed after being torn by the flashes of light. His fluttering sword took a long time before being unleashed. And the skill that Carr had used also seemed to have a long duration before it got unleashed. However, he was the first one to invoke his skills so the flashes had already started to pour down from the eight greatswords. The flashes easily penetrated through Minhyuk’s body.

Ping, ping, ping, ping─

[Your HP has dropped below 60%.]

[Your HP has dropped below 40%.]

[You have received a fatal blow.]

[Your head will start to feel dizzy due to continuous bleeding.]

[Your HP has dropped below 20%.]

[Your body movements have been restricted.]

Carr smiled wickedly. He felt that it was not strange if Minhyuk’s body collapsed now since his body was bleeding everywhere already. However, contrary to his expectations, Minhyuk’s body did not collapse. The wind from his Fluttering Sword even began to blow intensely.

Vwooooooom─

At that moment, a flash pierced through Minhyuk’s neck.

‘I won......!’

Carr felt gleeful. He did not forget to stare straight at Minhyuk. This was something that he did not wish to miss.

[You have used the Armor of Immortality’s special ability.]

[All of your HP and MP is refilling at a high speed.]

Flash!

Minhyuk’s wounds began to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a flash, his HP had already been restored to 100%.

‘What kind of ridiculous thing is this......!’

Carr looked on in horror. He couldn’t stop the chills that run down his spine when he saw this scene play in front of him.
