Chapter 223: How to Make Half-God Artifacts

Everyone in the area stared in horror.

‘All of the abilities were nullified......?’

‘What kind of fraudulent ability is this?’

‘That’s that but I can’t believe that someone can cast their skills just by turning and spinning a Bowl and Mixer Machine......?’

Just a few minutes ago, the Monarch’s Roar had made their skills and magic unavailable for 5 minutes but now in front of them, Minhyuk did something more ludicrous. But it did not end there, the Roves’ ring that was in Minhyuk’s finger shined brightly which created a huge tidal wave.

Shwaaaaaaaa—

The tidal wave stretched out and engulfed the Ancient Monarch. This time, the man brought out another item and it was none other than a millstone. He grabbed the handle of the millstone and...

Turn, turn, turn, turn—

“Th, this time it’s a millstone......”

“Ha, hahaha......”

Ali and Kentaro had no choice but to laugh at the ludicrousness of the situation in front of them. However, their curiosity still got the better of them, they were wondering what sort of skill and power this millstone would show them.

Rumble—

With the rumbling sound that came up from above, the three dumbfounded users all looked up in the sky.

‘Dark clouds?’

The phrase ‘bolt out of a blue’ was perfect for the dark cloud that suddenly appeared in the otherwise clear sky. Just in time, the Ancient Monarch struggled and eventually squeezed out of the huge tidal wave that engulfed him earlier.

Bang!!

A lightning bolt suddenly struck down on the Ancient Monarch’s body.

“Keuaaack!”

But it did not end there.

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

Dozens of lightning bolts rained down on the Ancient Monarch. They hit him without fail and placed great pressure on his body. But what was more surprising was the fact that the wounds on the Ancient Monarch’s body were rapidly recovering even after being hit with those insane lightning bolts.

“Such ridiculous regeneration ability......”

After using the Lightning Hell from the millstone, Minhyuk quickly used his Fluttering Sword.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa—

Falling leaves suddenly appeared in the air as dust swirled around Minhyuk’s body. And just as the duration of the Lightning Hell ended......

“Bastaaaard!”

The Ancient Monarch raised his sword and slashed it down strongly. A fierce and long sword light shot out from his sword. The sword was so huge and long that everyone present believed that they hadn’t seen anything like that at all.

Shweeeeeeeeeek!

It was at that moment when the buffering time of the Fluttering Sword ended.

Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew—

Hundreds of sword lights collided with the flying sword. The fluttering leaves scattered and disappeared with the strike from the powerful sword. But with the continuous attacks from the fallen leaves, the power of the gigantic sword slowly began to wear off before disappearing right under the user’s nose.

“Heok, heok. I think I lost ten years of my life there.”

Kentaro spoke with great spite. In all honesty, the rest of them were all useless. Not to mention Ali was a mage user, even Kentaro, who was stronger in his basic stats and powers, would still die once he attacked the Ancient Monarch. It was only now that Kentaro had realized how weak he was.

‘I can’t do anything.’

He couldn’t help but shudder when he realized the strength of the man that was currently standing in front of him.

‘I also want to be as strong as him......’

Then, he watched as the man dash towards the Ancient Monarch.

Minhyuk’s sword flashed red as he stabbed the Ancient Monarch strongly. But the roots and branches that rose from the ground began to surround the Ancient Monarch forming an armor around his body at the same time.

Crash!

The moment Minhyuk’s sword made contact with his body...

An ability that was quite literally similar to Cancel was suddenly unleashed. His skill became useless the moment his sword collided with the tree armor. Without missing a moment, additional roots and branches that were created by the Ancient Monarch started to bind Minhyuk’s body.

“Keup!”

Slash!

The Ancient Monarch brought his sword down on Minhyuk’s body. Minhyuk’s HP began to fall at a rapid pace.

The Monarch was suddenly blocked when he was about to strike down on Minhyuk again.

For some, the reason did not matter but the two of them had this hunch. So Kentaro and Ali did not hesitate to attack Bedu. He died easily under the hands of the two but since Bedu has long been in a Chaotic State, he dropped his artifacts after his death. In other words, he had reaped what he had sown.

Then, the notifications began to pour in.

Kentaro knew that it was his complete defeat. The gap between their scores was ten times as much as theirs. Even the individual scores were in the same state.

Minhyuk heard the notifications.

Meanwhile, the Black Mage Ali’s face was stiff. It was because he also heard the notification for the Hall of Kings.

Cleared with an unreachable score!

This was the first time that two different people climbed the Hall of Kings at the same time.

Minhyuk still chose to remain anonymous. Then, the notifications continued to ring.

“......!”

Kentaro had also heard the notifications. The notifications for the Hall of Kings would always ring all over the world! And the Anonymous King!

‘As expected, this is the guy who participated in the competition not too long ago!’

Kentaro had also watched the video of Athenae: Korean World War. And right now, the user that shone brightly during that competition was standing in front of him.

Then, another set of notifications rang.

“......!”

Kentaro was once again caught in surprise. This was because this was the first time that users climbed the Hall of Kings at the same time.

And with this, South Korea now had two kings. In addition, ‘Anonymous’, with his record breaking three consecutive climbs in the Hall of Kings, was the only user with the same score as ‘Calla’.

Meanwhile, Minhyuk got additional notifications.

“Yayy!! Soy sauce braised chicken!!”

When Ali and Kentaro saw him being so over the moon with joy after they heard the Hall of King’s notifications as well as the Monarch’s Treasure Chest notifications, they thought ‘Ah~ He must have gotten something nice~’.

Ali scuttled forward to check the Ancient Treasure Chest. When he saw the contents inside, he couldn’t help but be thrilled.

“Cr, crazy......!”

It was a two-thousand-year-old ginseng that could increase his mana reserves by 1.7x permanently!

Then, Ali turned to speak to Minhyuk excitedly while watching him happily twittering around from getting the ingredients for the soy sauce braised chicken.

“A two-thousand-year-old ginseng came out of my treasure chest. Minhyuk-nim.”

“Oh. Congratulations. Wait. Does that mean that I can also get something to eat?! Something delicious!”

“......May, maybe?”

Ali nodded his head in embarrassment while Minhyuk hurriedly clicked on his own treasure chest.

Brrrrrrr, brrrrr, brrrrrr—

The Monarch’s Treasure Chest began to vibrate wildly.

‘Something delicious, please come out! Something delicious!’

Minhyuk longed and wished for it sincerely. But after confirming what he had acquired, his expression suddenly turned sullen.

“......I guess I don’t have luck with draws.”

When Minhyuk suddenly turned strangely sulky, Ali asked after him.

“What did you get? Can you share it with me?”

Minhyuk nodded his head while pouting. Ali was able to confirm that Minhyuk had obtained a method to produce Half-God artifacts.

Ali was shocked after repeatedly confirming the item that Minhyuk had obtained. He couldn’t understand his reaction at all.

“Th, this is what you pull out when you’re unlucky with draws?!”

Minhyuk continued to pout as he answered him.

“Have you heard about a wise saying? ‘Life is divided into two parts, before knowing chicken and after knowing chicken.’ Kghk! Just like that saying, I had hoped to wash the fatigue of today away if I pulled out a chicken but...... I can’t believe that I pulled out a parchment that I couldn’t even eat......!”

“......”

It seemed like the Half-God Artifact Production Method was worse than a chicken.

TL’s corner!

I was wondering what would happen to Bedu but thank goodness they dealt with him. Phew.

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Today marks the first year anniversary of me TLing LUTE. Hooray! There will be a 10 chapter mass release today to celebrate. I wanted to extend the celebration by just releasing double chapters per day but I caught a cold and my head's aching badly.

On that note, we will be reducing next week's chapters to 3 since I can't TL much with this headache.

Thank you for always supporting LUTE and WoopRead. Hope you continue to support us. Don't forget to support our author-nim too!
