President Kang Taehoon did not leave the Special Users Management Team as he continued to monitor the situation on the screen. It wasn't just him. Even the team leaders of various teams including the episode production team as well as the customer center were present. They were all here to witness Callauhel's transfer to the Maestro of Destruction class. After all, once that happened, something earth shaking would happen in Athenae.Â
'What will happen if User Minhyuk kills Diablo?'
Lee Minhwa asked a question while continuing to look closely at the monitor. Team Leader Lee Seokhoon, the one in charge of the development team, was the one who answered her question.
'The rewards that he would get if he transfers successfully to the Maestro of Destruction job class is something that's specific and in alignment to Callauhel's class characteristics. On the other hand'¦'¦'
Development team's Team Leader Lee Seokhoon looked solemn.Â
'If User Minhyuk succeeds in killing Diablo first'¦'¦ then he will receive a reward that has nothing to do with his job class. He might just be the fastest person with a territory to own a kingdom. He will be the owner of Atlas.'Â

Callauhel believed that having different artifacts, superior control and overwhelming strength were the most important things in playing the game Athenae. Because of this belief, he had dismissed Minhyuk's excellent cooking abilities as something insignificant.Â
However, he thought that his belief would start to change after seeing Verogan bow deeply to Minhyuk.Â
'How can a dish like that appear'¦...?'Â
This was something that was far more than any artifact or skill that he had.
The others approached him while he was still in a daze.Â
'Callauhel-nim, what's the matter?'Â
'Callauhel-nim'¦'¦?'Â
Callauhel recalled the information of the samgyetang that he had just checked earlier.

Description: This was a gigantic samgyetang made by Chef Minyuk with all his might for the hungry monster, Verogan.
He couldn't help but murmur unknowingly.
'......That'¦...Want'¦'¦'Â
'Yes?'Â
'What did you say?'Â
The others looked at him in puzzlement but Callauhel couldn't hear any of them at all.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m
'I want to have him'¦'¦ that man'¦'¦'Â
'......!'Â
'......!'Â
Everyone was caught in surprise. They knew Callauhel as a man who had always kept a straight face. But right now, his face was showing a great 'longing' for something.
Callauhel came back to his senses not long after. He continued to look at Minhyuk and Verogan.

Black Mage Ali started to speed up. The fact that Black Dragon had become the 'First Royal Class' when they began climbing the tower put pressure on him.Â
The condition that he had to meet to transfer to his Royal Class 'Moldoron's Descendant' was to receive recognition from the giant snake called Predatory Snake.
While he was climbing like that'¦
[Minhyuk: Ali-nim.]
He received a whisper from Minhyuk. Ali grinned as he sent a reply to Minhyuk.
[Ali: Yes, Minhyuk-nim!]
[Minhyuk: By any chance, can you lend me a hand later?]
[Ali: Lend you a hand? I'll definitely run whenever Minhyuk-nim calls for me. We're friends after all!]
Ali proceeded to listen to Minhyuk's story.Â
Then, after their long talk, Minhyuk said these'¦'¦
[Minhyuk: Can you tell this to my dad too?]
 Ali nodded his head in agreement while a thought passed through his head.
'Blackstone.'Â

Callauhel naturally approached Minhyuk after he finished clearing the sixth trial. Minhyuk was looking at the fragment of the broken blade.
'Now, please give me that blade. Will you?'
Everyone turned to look at Minhyuk.
'8 billion'¦'¦!'Â
'I can live my whole life without worrying about money'¦'¦!'Â
Of course, it was not only the fragment of the blade that was worth 8 billion, it was also Diablo. But in a way, once Minhyuk handed over that blade fragment to Callauhel then their situation was already no different from achieving their best ending. Everyone was now looking at Minhyuk nervously.
'What if this punk knows?'Â
Does this mean that this bastard has Ankhassad's Judgement?
The second feeling was being taken advantage of. They were wondering how they got fooled.
'How did he know?'Â
All of their meticulous plans with the help of Great Thief Elion had crumbled down. It was even them who got hit on the head.
And the third was anger and rage.Â
They had been preparing for a long time. It was not only Callauhel, but all of them who had used their blood and sweat just to reach this point. But everything was ruined by this guy.Â
What was worse was'¦'¦
'Yayy! This is a crazy level up!!!'Â
He was mocking them.Â
And just like that, Minhyuk had received surprisingly shocking notifications.
[You have acquired 1,113 platinum.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have learned the passive skill: 'Speculation' after successfully hunting Diablo.]
[You have acquired Diablo's blade fragments.]
[You can now become the owner of Atlas after successfully hunting Diablo.]
A notification about the territory Atlas rang in Minhyuk's ears but he did not have the time to check about it.Â
Then, the notifications rang for Callauhel too.
[You have failed to meet the transfer conditions for the Royal Class 'Maestro of Destruction'.]
Meanwhile, Minhyuk spoke as brightly and as cheekily as he could.
'Woooooooooow! Look at all these level up notifications! This is a big catch! A big catch!!! And these rewards. Wow! Wow! Woooow!!!'Â
The final string in Callauhel's temper and reasoning snapped after hearing his mocking words. This was the first time in his life that he had felt this furious.Â
Callauhel was someone who had everything. And this was the man who had stolen his things. What was worse was that he was even mocking him.Â
'Die!!!!!'Â
Callauhel shouted loudly.
The worst that could happen was them being forced to log out of here so everyone took their position and launched an attack on Minhyuk.Â
Callauhel's fan was engraved with 'Hurricane Wind' so when he fanned it, huge blades of wind immediately flooded Minhyuk.Â
[Wind Blade]
[A wind blade that can cut anything. Has additional 220% attack power.]
And that was not the end of it.Â
Even Assassin Amber had her speed boosted thrice her original speed as she launched her attack.Â
[Vital Strike]
[The speed of your movement has increased by x3. You will be able to attack a vital point. Successful attack will give you an additional 180% attack power.]
Just like that, their attacks poured down on Minhyuk.Â
But at that moment, Minhyuk took out and tore the parchment in his hands.Â
[You have used the Guild Member Summoning Parchment.]
[Only the Guild Master and the Lord of the Guild Territory will be able to use the Guild Member Summoning Parchment.]
[The Guild Summoning Parchment is a special parchment that can also summon members of your allied guild if you were given their explicit approval.]
Several rays of light appeared in front of Minhyuk.Â
The man that appeared in front of him quickly moved as his left arm changed into a dragon's head momentarily. The dragon's head immediately nullified all of the attacks that were pouring down on Minhyuk. It looked like the dragon devoured their attacks.
'......!'Â
Callauhel was shocked. Dispel or attack nullifications would only be possible if the levels of the enemies were lower than the caster. But the man that stood in front of them nullified all of their attacks. And'¦'¦
'I'll give them back to you.'Â
Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa'
Callauhel stared at the wind blade that had been returned to him.Â
'This is ridiculous'¦'¦!'Â
But their shock and dismay did not end there. The other members of Blackstone were also hit by the skills that they had used on Minhyuk.Â
Clash'
Stab!
Bang!
'Keoheok!'Â
'Kggghk!'Â
'Keup!!!'Â
Shrieks rang loudly in the area.
Callauhel could tell that the man in front of them was the first Royal Class in existence, the Dragon Monarch.
