Gulp―
PD Kim Daeguk gulped as he watched Minhyuk’s mukbang.
Then, at that moment, the barrier got lifted. All of the rankers that gathered together pulled back in unison. PD Kim Daeguk thought that it was only a natural move in their current circumstances.
‘User Minhyuk clearly did not do anything except eat there...!’
The increase in rating from his mukbang was clear. However, only User Minhyuk ate. As soon as the barrier got released, all of the rankers fell back as if they were going to try and hunt in their own way.
On the contrary, Minhyuk just stood there staring at Barach’s majestic figure with his bat-like wings spread wide behind his back.
Crackle―
Blazing flames fell down with each of Barach’s step as everything began to burn in flames. And Barach immediately fired his flames towards the retreating rankers.
Shwaaaaaaaa―
But Minhyuk just stood there without any hesitation. And when he took a step forward...
Flash―
He appeared in front of the flustered rankers. The distance between them was as long as 10m but he immediately appeared in front of the rankers.
‘How can you travel that distance in just one go...?!’
Then...
Shwaaaaaaaaa―
A strong wind began to blow.
This was a skill that User Minhyuk had always used so far.
‘Fluttering Sword...?’
It was both a wide-area of attack skill and a single kill skill.
But can he even pierce through Barach’s skin with that skill?
But something unexpected happened.
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaa―
The wind began to pick up in intensity. It became as strong as a typhoon that could blow everything away. And the rankers around him all fell into chaos.
[Kyaaaaaak!]
[What the hell is this wind?! It’s blowing like a typhoon!]
[Crazy...! I think it would be hard to remain steady, right?]
And the leaves that fluttered in the wind were glowing gold, not silver. Hundreds of falling leaves fluttered strongly amidst the strong typhoon-like wind. The golden leaves movements were enough to dig the ground and piles of stone flying around.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Barach pushed his iron mace towards this strong force as a huge flame exploded out and rushed towards Minhyuk before colliding with the golden leaves.
Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwaaak!
But the clumps of flames that rushed forward were easily torn apart by the fluttering leaves. The leaves did not even stop as they rushed straight towards Barach.
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack―
A strange and mysterious sound rang out. However, it was not the sound of cutting through something. It sounded strangely similar to something passing through and tearing through something.
“Keuaaaaaaaaaack!”
Blood spurted out of Barach’s body.
“What, what the hell...!”
PD Kim Daeguk jumped up in surprise.
This was not the Fluttering Sword that he knew. It was far stronger than the skill that they knew before!
‘He just ate... So how...?!’
They couldn’t believe this since Minhyuk only ate inside the barrier.
***
The notifications rang one after the other in Minhyuk’s ears.
[You have eaten a dish made with the recipe for yourself.]
[You won’t be able to eat a recipe made by yourself for 2 weeks.]
[You can’t receive any duplicate buffs during the duration of the buff retention period.]
[Harmonious Fire Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles]
[All stats will have an increase of 19% and Ellie’s Swordsmanship will have an increase of +4 in mastery for 5 minutes.]
In the case of this dish, the ranking would change depending on the harmony that was created. The notifications that he had heard were completely different from the notifications before after he completed a dish.
‘Wow... Ellie’s Swordsmanship increases by +4...?’
Ellie’s Swordsmanship was the best swordsmanship skill from Empress Ellie. It was something that could not be accessed just by anyone. The swordsmanship had grown even stronger after receiving the evolution from a king of a kingdom and had recently become even more powerful with Sword God Valen’s strong sword.
Half-God Skill.
And such a Half-God skill had been increased by +4 too.
The reason why Create a Recipe Skill was amazing was because it could overcome the limits of skills and even make them become stronger. The skill level would usually remain stagnant at 9 and stop at MAX. It could grow stronger with evolution which would make the skill go back to 1 or just completely stop at that point. And the power of Minhyuk’s cooking could let those skills go beyond that point.
Minhyuk could see that the power of his dish could only give him 5 minutes of that overwhelming strength. So, he quickly released the barrier from ‘Let’s Have a Meal!’.
Meanwhile, the rankers behind him were saying...
“I trusted you and you just ate...”
“Why did you release the barrier?”
“That’s enough. We’ve already prepared inside the barrier so let’s move back for now.”
The other rankers continued to grumble while Lee Hoseung calmed them down and asked them to fall back. Then, the flames that were burning on Barach’s iron mace rushed towards them.
“God... Goddamnit!”
“If we get hit directly, we’ll die!”
The users screamed.
Most of the people knew that they would not be able to avoid it on the spot.
At that moment, Minhyuk thought that he could traverse that distance in an instant since his Like the Wind, a technique under Ellie’s Swordsmanship had increased by +4.
“Like the Wind.”
Flash!
And just like he thought, he was able to traverse a distance of 10m. After travelling that distance, Minhyuk immediately used his Fluttering Sword.
Keuhaaaaaaaack!
The huge ball of fire that came from Barach’s body flew towards Minhyuk. It was an extremely powerful attack that boasted an additional 700% attack power. It was clear that this was Barach’s strongest one-shot kill skill.
Everyone had predicted that Minhyuk would die.
But...
Crack!
The whip wrapped around Minhyuk’s body broke down as a black fog appeared and wrapped around Minhyuk’s body before being absorbed inside.
Then, the notifications rang in Minhyuk’s ears.
[Berserk.]
[This is the first time that you have used the Berserk skill.]
[For your first awakening, all of your skills and stats would become much higher than the normal Berserk skill.]
[All abilities will be increased b 19% and all stats would have a +2 increase.]
[Your HP will decrease by 3% per second. By the end of the skill, your HP will fall below 10% while your defense will fall below 20%.]
Minhyuk’s skill level had increased tremendously due to his buffed dish. And the same was true for his stats. And now, his Berserk skill had dramatically increased his skills once again.
Then, another notification came.
[Ellie’s Swordsmanship’s cooldown temporarily decreases by 70%.]
And another set of notifications...
[Ellie’s Swordsmanship has temporarily reached the extreme level.]
[The techniques in Ellie’s Swordsmanship can be temporarily used.]
[Chapter 8. Berserk Sword]
‘Extreme...?’
This was his first time hearing about such a level.
Then, Minhyuk saw the Fire Devil’s Explosion rushing towards him. It was a skill that has given an additional 700% attack power on top of Barach’s basic damage.
Minhyuk immediately activated the technique.
“Berserk Sword.”
The 8th chapter of the skill, the Berserk Sword was temporarily opened.
Something shocking happened once he used the technique.
As soon as Minhyuk wielded his sword, hundreds of 4m long black sword lights appeared in the air. It looked like a flock of hundreds of black migratory birds. A flock of migratory birds flapping their wings and zooming up in the sky!
[An additional 700% attack power is added to your sword.]
[If the sword succeeds in attacking a vital point, it will gain an additional 1,300% attack power.]
Minhyuk immediately realized that this was a combination of his Splitting Sword and Sword of Fury.
‘A sword will have an additional 700% attack power and an additional 1,300% attack power if I succeed in hitting a vital point...? And with each and every single one of those hundreds of swords...?’
Minhyuk was shocked at how powerful the sword technique was.
Then, the hundreds of swords collided against Barach’s Fire Devil’s Explosion, a magnificent fire that seemed to be able to burn everything down to the ground.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The hundreds of black swords broke through the Fire Devil’s Explosion and turned it into nothing. Then...
Shwaaaaaaaaaak―
The hundreds of swords continued forward to stab into Barach’s body.
[You have successfully dealt a critical strike.]
[Additional 1,300% attack power.]
[You have successfully dealt a critical strike.]
[Additional 1,300% attack power.]
[You have successfully dealt a critical strike.]
[Additional 1,300% attack power.]
[You have successfully dealt... omitted.]
Notifications constantly rang in Minhyuk’s head.
Barach was torn to shreds until his shape couldn’t be distinguished anymore. The sword even continued to fly forward destroying all of the remaining buildings and towers until finally getting spent after reaching the magnificent elf mountain.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Although the mountain did not disappear, its shape was still altered completely.
Crumble―!
“......!”
“......!”
[......!]
[......!]
[......!]
The skill finally disappeared and everything had turned still and silent.
Then, notifications were heard through the silence.
