Baran’s face crumpled in annoyance.

In just two minutes, my troops consisting of low-ranking but elite demonic races were annihilated?

It was clear to him that something went wrong.

Baran began to keep an eye on the map. After the 3rd Army search and attack teams were wiped out, demonic races and demonic monsters also started to disappear from the map at great speed.

“Cra, crazy......!”

What kind of human came to this place?! No, it seems like common sense can’t explain what’s happening right now.

The thoughts that floated in his head were due to the fact that the demonic races and the demonic monsters only lasted for less than five minutes against the human and his troops.

***

Ten minutes ago, Cania and Minhyuk began to lead his troops.

Boron and Kirun, the 3rd Army’s search team and attack team leaders, also began to move rapidly.

“Kirun, the time has come for humans to realize how weak they are.”

“Humans are known to be the weakest among all the races. How dare they think of taking Prince Argon away?”

The demonic races were said to be born for battle. And from the perspective of the demonic races, humans and their actions were just too ridiculous.

They had a rough estimate of the troops that invaded Zone 3. And according to their knowledge there were about 150 soldiers. Their numbers were around 200 so they thought that they could easily overpower them so they urged their troops as they rapidly advanced.

Not long after, the demonic races finally faced off against the human forces after advancing at high speeds.

“Show the humans how fearsome we are!!!”

“Kill!!!”

The 200 low-ranked demonic races that were specially trained and placed in the 3rd army confidently ran towards the humans.

***

‘Are those demonic races?’

Cania, who marched together with Minhyuk, could see the demonic races in front of them.

“De, demons......!”

“Demons......!!!”

“Hiiiik!!!”

The demonic races had long established themselves as something that humans feared.

Cania’s pupils shook. She guessed that Minhyuk would take a detour and bypass the incoming demonic races but Minhyuk told them that he thought that it was not necessary.

‘Why are you so reckless!!!’

Cania thought that the commander was excellent but he was excessively stubborn.

That was when the notifications rang for Minhyuk.

[Mission! Win against the 3rd Army’s Search Team and Attack Team within 30 minutes!]

1 If you win quickly + contributions

2 If the damage your troops receive is minimal + contribution

3 If it exceeded 30 minutes - contribution

4 If the damage to your troops increases - contribution

Mission?

It was probably a special reward from Joy Co. Ltd. for the large-scale war that was happening. Through these missions, the user would try to hunt faster and they would become more reliable. And the better his performance was, the higher his contribution would become.

Just like what Cania said, Minhyuk believed that the reason for her not wanting to go against them was simple. But......

‘If I do that......’

The amount of contributions that he would earn would be less. Each mob that they hunted would increase his contributions. There were still 6 hours for them to rescue Prince Argon and Minhyuk believed that he could do that within that time frame.

“Kill the humans!!”

“Kikikikik!”

“How dare you come here! Where do you think you are?!”

And as the demonic races started to run towards them they could see that the weapons that they wielded were not that much different from theirs. The only difference was the color of their skin and the horns on their heads. And their horns were even small in size.

‘Huh. Shall we try it once?’

Minhyuk raised his hand. Along with his hand, the 150 men of his troops pulled their bow in unison despite their fear. At the same time, Minhyuk also tore the parchment in his other hand.

[You have torn the Elf’s Blessings Parchment.]

[The physical attack and defense as well as the magical attack and defense of you party members, guild members and soldiers will increase by 20% against beings from the Demon World. Can overlap with any buff.]

The soldiers’ bodies were all wrapped in a soft and warm light.

Then, he lowered his hand.

Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh!

Their arrows flew towards the demonic races who looked like they were laughing their heads off as they enjoyed the thought of slaughtering them! Kirun and Boron, the commanders of the 3rd Army teams, even burst out in laughter.

“You think you can pierce through the skin of our race with just your puny wooden arrows?!”

“Ridiculous! Your arrows will be split before it can get stuck on my body!”

Just like that, Parmal, a member of the demonic race that was running forward, tried to calculate the time so they could split up and avoid the arrows.

But at that moment.....

‘F, fast......’

Stab!!!

Spuuurt!!!

“Keuaaaack!!!”

Parmal couldn’t help but stare in horror at the arrow that struck on his chest. He could feel that he had received a huge amount of damage from just this one blow.

‘I, impossible!’

Parmal fell down. Not long after, the troops began to fall down after they got struck by the arrows one after the other.

“Wh, what the hell?!!!!”

“How can something ridiculous like this happen......!”

The people that the demonic races had to deal with were knights exceeding levels 400~460 according to Joy Co. Ltd.’s settings. And the lower-ranked demonic races’ levels were similar to them in average.

However, the attacks that they had released on them were extremely overwhelming.

Minhyuk had fed them his buffed dishes and all of their attacks and defenses were increased by 20% thanks to the parchment that was purchased in the Rank A shop. And that was not all. Even though Minhyuk was still unaware of this fact, the antarinium had increased all five of their basic stats by 15%. It was also thanks to that mineral that their special stats, the stats that couldn’t be easily increased with special points, were also increased by 20%. In addition, his newly acquired viridite also had the effect of increasing the five basic stats by 5%. Just by that, they had already become 1.4x stronger than their normal selves.

But considering the 1.4x increase in their strength, with their numbers at 150, it could already be said that he literally twisted what Joy Co. Ltd. had designed for their overall strength.

“Keuack!”

“Graaaaack!”

“You can’t even call this a bug. Ugh......”

Kang Taehoon supported his forehead with his hand.

My god. This wouldn’t even have happened if Minhyuk did not take the soldiers from the Iron Blood and Reapers company.

Just by gaining an additional 100 men, he was able to acquire a tremendous amount of contribution points. And with that contribution points, he looked through the Rank A shop and armed his men with ridiculously strong items. And he already racked up 600,000 points again.

“This...... He’s not going to open the Royal Shop, right......”

Kang Taehoon sighed deeply as Team Leader Park spoke.

“Commander Baran is going to establish a barrier.”

“Right. If they set up a barrier, then those 150 men will not be able to get to them.”

Commander Baran used Verus’ powers to set up a barrier. It was somewhat like another mission. Then, words flashed up on the screen.

[The final mission for User Minhyuk has been given.]

[Mission! Go in the barrier alone and rescue Prince Argon!]

If he had not shown such an enormous display of strength then his last mission would have allowed the entry of his entire troops without having the need to break out Prince Argon alone.

And for Baran, who had set up a barrier, he believed that it was an ‘impossible’ task to fulfill.

***

Argon was pinned on the cross.

‘If I hadn’t let my guard down, then......’

Argon was the only child of the Elf King. He was a powerful man. In fact, his father, the Elf King could not exert much strength when compared to Argon. That was the reason why the demonic races immediately attacked the sleeping Argon as soon as they invaded the Elven Forest.

And the things that were tied around his body now were things that were crafted from one of the finest minerals in the Demon World, the ‘Ballacanium’. One can never remove them if they did not have the key.

‘No? I heard that it’s possible if a human has as much holy power as the Pope or the Saintess.’

Grin—

A smile leaked out from his lips.

It was because the demons around him were busily trying to save themselves.

And Baran......

“Construct the barrier now!!”

“The barrier? That would drain more than 30% of our demonic races’ magi.”

“This would be for the better. If we set up the barrier, then we can buy 30 minutes of time. We can proceed with the execution and get out of here with that amount of time.”

The barrier that they would set would limit the number of enemies that would come inside. This was one of Verus’ excellent barriers! Although his powers could deprive the demonic races of their magi, it was an inevitable choice at this point.

But at that moment, Baran heard bells ringing so suddenly.

Riiing—

Riiiiiing—

It was the alarm reminding them of an enemy invasion. He quickly hurried out.

“The enemy?!”

“Th, that......”

Not long after, his subordinates mumbled the end of his sentence weakly. Baran’s forehead crumpled in annoyance.

“There was some kind of pig.”

“......Huh? Pig?”

Baran looked at him as if he was wondering if he was still right on the head. After moving along, Baran could finally see. There was a little pig that stood in front of a group of 100 demons.

The baby piggy, Kongie, had received a serious mission from Minhyuk. If he accomplished his mission, he would receive a delicious ‘Choco Bar’. That was why he decided to do his best.

His only mission was to provoke the enemies.

How should I provoke you?

Ah......!!!

I have a good idea.

“What the hell is that pig?”

“It’s a baby piggy.”

“It’s a baby piggy but...... it looks a bit cheeky.”

“......Did you ring the bell for the enemy invasion just for a trifling matter?”

At that moment, Kongie looked at them arrogantly. Then, Kongie turned around as he pushed his curly tail towards the demons.

Then—

Pooooooot—

“......”

“......”

“......”

“......”

He farted.

At that moment......

An incredibly loud fart burst out of his tiny body.

“Oink!!”

Then, he wiggled his butt as he swung his body around. He turned around to look at the demons with his hand fanning his nose.

“......”

“......”

“......”

“......”

Veins popped out of the foreheads of all the demons present.

Kongie’s provocation is an active max level, excellent aggro skill! It was at that moment when his ‘Great Fart’ was triggered!

Fwwwiiiiip!

Another fart came from Kongie’s butt when he suddenly applied the wrong strength on his sphincter.

“I’m, I’m coming!!!”

“Catch it!!”

Then, Kongie began to run away.

***

TL’s corner!

LMAO. Great Fart. HAHAHAHAH. On another note, I will be using demons and demonic races interchangeably. Thanks!
