Chapter 422: Lesser Demon Diablo

[Heok! A, a God-grade dish has appeared in the competition!]

[Right now, the entire world is watching Player Minhyuk!]

[Almost all of the cameras broadcasting all over the world had zoomed in on the pillar of light that fell from the sky.]

[Minhyuk and Diablo are both at the center of attention.]

It was not only ATV’s cameras, almost all of the cameras from all of the broadcasting stations in the world had zoomed in on Minhyuk and Diablo. They all watched as Diablo accepted the tonkatsu and sat side by side with Minhyuk. Just in time, another dish created from Minhyuk’s ‘Joy of Eating Together’ skill appeared in front of him. The entire world watched as the two of them ate their tonkatsu happily.

The first thing that Minhyuk tasted was the warm instant soup.

‘It really whets your appetite.’

A small smile curled at the corner of Minhyuk’s lips as the soft yet thick, salty soup entered his mouth. He drank one sip, two sips, three sips of the delicious soup. Diablo, who sat beside him, copied him down to the T.

And the entire world that was watching them...

[Aaaaaaaaah! I know the taste of that soup very well!]

[It’s just some instant soup, but the taste can really whet your appetite. It’s a flavor that will definitely make you come back for more.]

After tasting the soup, Minhyuk grabbed his fork and knife and cut a piece of tonkatsu covered with the thick scarlet sauce. He placed the piece in his mouth as a...

Crunch—

...a loud crunch resounded. Each of Minhyuk’s bite was accompanied by a loud crunch that stimulated the ears of everyone watching. Despite being soaked in sauce that Minhyuk had poured in advance, the God’s Tonkatsu remained crunchy. It was both a mystery and a miracle. Minhyuk could not help but smile as he gulped down the meat in his mouth.

[He took a bite! Player Minhyuk has taken a bite out of the tonkatsu!!!]

[He’s the one that’s chewing but I feel like I’m the one tasting it. It’s definitely making my mouth water!]

[Ah! That smile...! That’s definitely a smile that we make when we eat something delicious! Right? It’s definitely that smile!!!]

[Right now, the number one search term is tonkatsu. ‘Tonkatsu’ has taken over the global portal sites!]

[I think I’ll get some tonkatsu for dinner later.]

But Minhyuk and Diablo’s mukbang was not yet over. Minhyuk mixed the apple dressing with the salad. The salad, with its sweet flavor and crispy texture, was the perfect dish for a change of pace whenever Minhyuk felt tired of the crunchy texture of the tonkatsu. The thinly sliced cabbage and its crisp, fresh texture was a delight to the mouth.

Then, there was the corn. The savory flavor of the corn, with the occasional burst of sweetness, would spread inside his mouth in every bite.

Scrape, scrape—

The sound of Minhyuk’s spoon scraping every last bit of the sauce on his plate rang loudly! His firm determination to not leave a single drop of sauce and a single grain of corn was perfectly displayed at this very moment!

[Player Minhyuk is literally licking the plate clean.]

[He’s not letting anyone else know what he ate on his plate! That’s the true spirit of a mukbang BJ!]

After their peaceful mukbang ended, Diablo began to twitch. The players that were hunting named monsters near them began to retreat after realizing that an unusual situation was about to unfold.

“Keuheok!” Diablo roared to the sky as black demonic energy poured out of his open mouth.

Puhaaaaaaaaaaa!

Vast amounts of black demonic energy shot up and shrouded the entire stadium in darkness, until it eventually took on the shape of a demon’s head.

[Once again, you... interrupt... trifling... human...]

The demon was none other than Great Demon Verus. The entire world watched with bated breath. Great Demon Verus was an existence that appeared in all of the servers and was a figure that struck fear and terror to everyone. According to the information that Athenae had published, Great Demon Verus’ main body was a supreme being that none of the current players could confront right now.

However, Minhyuk just looked up at the Great Demon Verus and said, “It’s time for you to get lost.”

As if on cue, Verus’ figure slowly dissipated. Minhyuk’s intuition was telling him that this incident would definitely lead to an episode one day. Then, the notifications rang.

[You have freed Lesser Demon Diablo from the demons’ demonic energy.]

[Diablo’s frenzied state has been lifted. His sanity has returned.]

Then, a quest notification popped up in front of Minhyuk the moment Diablo looked at him.

Even Minhyuk was amazed with how amazing Diablo was using the sword. He landed on the floor and quickly used ‘Like the Wind’ to dash to where Calauhel was. Then, he used Scattering Sword, with an attack power that was several times higher than normal with the help of Continent Destroyer Sword, on the severely restricted Calauhel.

Baaaaaaaang—

Calauhel slowly disappeared from view as he slammed straight into the ground. It only took six seconds for Minhyuk and Diablo to deal with Calauhel. Recalling his death in the Penalty Shoot-out event before and watching him die pitifully in less than ten seconds during this Named Monster Hunting Event gave birth to an idea in everyone’s mind.

‘Is Calauhel born to become Player Minhyuk’s second fiddle?’

The idea that appeared in their heads made them even more shocked. After all, Calauhel, although known to be the weakest, was still a part of the Summit Five.

Claaaaaaaang—

The Hunting King sent out a black energy from his sword and attacked Minhyuk.

Shwaaaaaaak—

Minhyuk flew back from the impact of the attack. However, he was able to quickly center his balance and land stably on his feet. Then, he looked around. He could see that the other players have realized the most important thing that they needed to do in their situation right now. This was especially the case for the Hunting King. He quickly gathered the players around him.

“Hunter’s Roar! Graaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” A strange roar, akin to that of a tiger’s roar, broke out from the Hunting King’s mouth. Tremendous force surrounded the Hunting King and the players that surrounded him. These were the notifications that they heard right after...

[The Hunter’s Targeted Prey’s great power has been activated.]

[You will be able to temporarily gain the same power after hearing the Hunter’s Roar.]

[If you successfully land an attack on your prey, the damage that you will receive will be reduced by 50% and your evasion rate will increase by 500%.]

[The buff’s duration is thirty seconds.]

That was right. The Hunter’s Roar was the renowned skill that placed the Hunting King in the summit of monster hunting. It was also a skill that exerted more power when triggered and applied to his allies. This was because the skill would give the same power to his allies. But the most shocking part was...

‘That’s crazy! We’re not even in a party but it still worked on us?!’

‘So this is the power of the Hunting King...?’

This was the strongest monster hunter.

Dozens of players, who realized that this was their only chance to hunt Diablo, rushed forward.

Slaaaaaaaaash—

Diablo’s scythe swung fiercely to stop them. But with a swing of Gravity Master Lupin’s hands, Diablo’s scythe was forced to stop in mid-air. Seeing this, the players continued to fiercely dash forward.

“God’s Revelation!”

Shwaaaaaaa—

A gigantic sword made of light shot straight towards Diablo.

“Fist of Death.”

Baaaaaaaaaang—

An Indian close-combat class player by the name of Vyanjan sent a fist containing a tremendous force towards Diablo. Dozens of attacks were sent towards Diablo.

Diablo immediately retrieved his scythe and turned it into a sword. Then, he stopped for a moment before splitting the sword of light that was stretching towards him with a swing of his sword.

“...!”

The sword that split the sword of light did not stop there. It stretched forward and even split the Fist of Death along with several other skills, effectively offsetting every attack that was coming his way.

“...!”

“...!”

“...!”

“...!”

Despite seeing everything up close, the players still could not believe their eyes.

Diablo was an absolute genius with a talent that could shock even the great demons. That was why they gave him the name...

Lesser Demon Diablo.
