Chapter 529: Gaining an Uncle

Chapter 529: Gaining an Uncle

Evan, the Warrior God’s master and the Guardian of Lumae Kingdom, was left in a state of shock, ‘He really only ate a dish and was able to one-shot His Majesty Raldo...’

The strength of Raldo, the Overlord or the Warrior God, was beyond anyone’s imagination. But Minhyuk was able to take Raldo down with a single shot after eating a meal. It was nothing short of a miracle. Then, a red bead of blood floated from the body of the collapsed Raldo and got absorbed into Minhyuk’s body.

[Slaughterer’s Absorption]

[There is a 3% chance that you will be able to convert 50% of the damage that you have dealt to your opponents into HP.]

Around 4% of Minhyuk’s HP was recovered immediately. Minhyuk looked down at his hands as he hurriedly checked the Crazy that had increased by +3 levels.

Additional Explanation: Thanks to the Food God’s buffed dish, ‘Lightning’ was increased by +3 levels. As a result, the effects of the skill ‘Crazy’ under Lightning has become better.

‘This is really insane...!’

There was no other word that Minhyuk could use to express what he felt. In the first place, Crazy was a skill that was beyond ridiculous. It had a 30% chance of triggering a sword wind just by using a basic attack. In other words, even if Minhyuk only attacked his enemy three times, he could guarantee that one of those three attacks would deal an additional 1,100% damage. But now...

‘Did you say 50%?’

...the power of Crazy could be triggered once every two strikes. Even the probability of triggering Crazy Mode continuously had increased significantly. Minhyuk had a 40% chance of triggering it twice in a row, a 20% chance of triggering it thrice in a row, a 5% chance of triggering it six times in a row, and a 2% chance of triggering it eight times in a row. Minhyuk had been very lucky to trigger the 2% probability and hit Raldo eight times in a row, which caused huge damage to the Overlord.

‘I really want to have it as my own.’

Because it was only due to the buffed dish’s effect, Minhyuk could only use the power for three minutes. Considering the fact that it was miles stronger than the artifact skill Lightning’s Explosion and Destruction, it would be a lie if Minhyuk said that he did not want this in his arsenal.

Then, a voice suddenly rang from where Raldo was, “That’s right. You should attack me like that too. That way, I can think of you as someone that should be killed, and not my father.”

Badump, badump, badump—

Minhyuk’s heart thumped violently. He was fully aware that Raldo hated his father. But Raldo, who stood up while saying those words, looked sad despite the blackness that covered his eyes. Minhyuk, who knew about the matter...

“Your father was not crazy.”

...decided to tell Raldo the truth.

***

The entire Beyond the Heavens Kingdom was suddenly thrown into an uproar after a huge tower made of blood suddenly rose in the Louvre Forest, near the vicinity of the kingdom and did not disappear, despite the days passing by.

“We need to make sure that we have control on the information. If what I think is right, then the person currently inside the blood tower is Ascar.”

When the blood tower appeared, Haze already knew that it was because someone was pioneering a new path. This tower did not pose any harm to the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. Besides, the tower only appeared after Ascar received Asura’s Successor’s Ring from Minhyuk. Also, she had not been seen in the kingdom or anywhere in Athenae from when she came back from the world of the foreigners for the past few days.

‘Ascar.’

Haze looked up at the blood tower. She knew that Ascar entered the trial to inherit the powers of Asura. For Haze, Ascar was a strong woman. Ascar might be someone that silently performed her duty and had always been a shadow amidst the people of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom, but Haze knew that her heart was warmer than anybody else and that she cared for Minhyuk deeply. Haze couldn't help but worry since days had gone by with no signs from her.

Nevertheless, Haze knew that she could not tell her to just give up out of exhaustion. All Haze could do was mutter to herself, “Climb higher, Ascar. I know you can do it.”

***

“Your father was not crazy!!! He fought alone to protect you. His trusted subordinates urged him to kill you, his son, who was getting stronger by the day! But Ravanberg did not do so! He chose to kill his loyal subjects in order to protect you!!!” Minhyuk shouted hurriedly at the still reeling Raldo.

Tears started to flow from Raldo’s pitch-black eyes. He did not shed these tears because he believed in what Minhyuk said, but because...

‘I miss my father...?’

Raldo had always declared that he hated his father. But at this moment, he realized that he just kept the longing and love that he had for Ravanberg locked deep away inside his heart. For a moment, the white returned to his eyes.

“My father killed his subordinates to... protect... me...?”

But Raldo’s eyes immediately returned to black.

“Liar!!!”

Crackle—

“...!”

Minhyuk felt his breath stop at the sight. Raldo, who was devoured by his curse, once again expressed his power, the same power that came from the God of Death, and the reason why Raldo had been cursed. The very same power that Minhyuk saw in Raldo’s dreams!

‘The Overlord’s Technique...!’

Along with that, the air in the small and narrow space turned heavy. The Overlord’s Technique was a very powerful force that wiped out nearly 30,000 troops in one go.

“Damn...!”

If the Overlord’s Technique was triggered in this small and narrow space, then forget about Minhyuk, even Raldo himself would die. Minhyuk rushed to Raldo while swapping the Slaughterer’s Armor with the Monarch’s Armor. Then...

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—

A huge explosion engulfed the surroundings as the sword with black flames struck out.

***

“Your, Your Majesty Raldo...! Your Majestyyy...!” Evan called out to Raldo anxiously as he peered through the barrier and the black flames that devoured the space inside.

Crack, crack, crack—

The Overlord’s Technique was so strong that it even left hairline cracks on the transparent barrier that separated Minhyuk and Raldo from the rest of them.

“Evan!!!”

“Run away!!!”

“Your Majesty!!!!”

The guild members of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom rushed to evacuate the crying Evan.

Shwaaaaaaaaa—

Enormous flames licked the walls as a huge explosion broke the transparent barrier and devoured the inside of the castle. After escaping the fire, Evan could only look tearily at the place where the fire was breaking out.

“Your, Your Majesty...”

Evan felt his knees weaken as he collapsed on the ground. The king that made this kingdom stronger, the king hailed as the Sacred Monarch and was loved by his people, and the king that chose to fall into a deep sleep to protect his people and his kingdom until the very end. This king had initiated his own destruction.

“N, nooo...! Nooooo...!”

Evan, who was on his knees, tried to crawl back into the fire.

“No!”

“You can’t!”

The guild members of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom hurriedly stopped Evan from rushing to his own destruction.

“Your Highneeeeeeeesss!!!” Tears trickled down Evan’s face as he wailed loudly in despair.

But then, a warm voice suddenly rang from inside the fire, soft like the gentle and loving touch of a loved one, “Your father watched you enter the garden. Until the very end, he was still worried about you. He tried to tell you about the location of the secret scroll but his life ended before he could do so.”

Crackle—

With the smoke clearing up, the figures of two people in front of the throne, surrounded by blazing flames appeared in the eyes of everyone present. Minhyuk had collapsed, his entire body embracing and protecting Raldo from the flames. And Raldo, who was supporting his body to stop him from falling, could not take his eyes away from his face, tears falling down on his cheeks.

“Your father, who died at the hands of his own son while lying in bed, said...”

Minhyuk smiled bitterly as he squeezed out the last of his energy.

“I love you, son.”

In the end, Minhyuk’s body turned gray and slowly disappeared from Raldo’s arms. Raldo cried, hugging Minhyuk’s disappearing body. Then, he smiled widely and said, “Thank you...”
