Chapter 545: Demolish

Chapter 545: Demolish

The Venaud Territory, one of the Slaughterer’s Eye Guild’s territories, was taken away in a single day.

The entire world was in a buzz after the news spread on the internet. The people of Venaud Territory, who were deprived of their own territory in the first place, immediately banded together, occupied the territory and defended the place.

[Rumor has it that it was Food God Minhyuk and Death who took away Slaughterer’s Eye Guild’s Venaud Territory. There was also this Savior player there too. How true is it?]

[Stop spouting nonsense. No matter how strong Food God Minhyuk and Death are, there’s no way that they can destroy an entire territory overnight, right?]

[That’s right. The fact that Food God Minhyuk and Death laid Venaud Territory to waste is true. However, I’m pretty sure plenty of the Beyond the Heavens guild members participated. They’re a kingdom. It’s an easy matter for them to push back a territory with their own power.]

[That’s right. I think it’s because it’s been passed on by many people that’s why the story has been exaggerated.]

However, a photo was soon posted and immediately forwarded by plenty of people on the internet. It was a photo of Death, Minhyuk, and Lu Bai taking a quick rest at what seemed to be an execution ground, after slaughtering all of the troops.

[Cra, crazy. For real?!]

[No. Is that even really possible?]

[A brother that I know is a member of Slaughterer’s Eye Guild. He was there on site and he told me that it was not Minhyuk nor Death, but a player named ‘Savior’ that wiped out more than 7,000 people in one go.]

[More than 7,000 people...? Isn’t that just an exaggeration?]

[I’m not exaggerating. There are more than one or two photos that members of the Slaughterer’s Eye Guild leaked to the media circulating on the internet right now to prove it.]

[Those Slaughterer’s Eye Guild bastards. Hahahahaha. All of them are blinded by money. Look at them trying to get money by providing information to reporters now that something happened in their guild.]

Plenty of people began to pay attention to the story about a group of merely three people destroying and demolishing one of Slaughterer’s Eye Guild’s territory. Then, the experts began to give their two cents.

[Food God Minhyuk has officially begun his full-fledged ‘Akhan Hunt’. Surprisingly enough, he started the hunt by demolishing one of the Slaughterer’s Eye Guild’s territories in just a single day. Currently, his whereabouts are unknown.]

[Media stations and reporters all over the world, as well as viewers playing Athenae, are paying rapt attention to the development of the situation. Let us take a special look at Slaughterer’s Eye Guild Master Zhang Mumu’s note published in SNS mocking Food God Minhyuk and telling him to bark like a dog when the Food God asked for his cooperation.]

[Many experts have given their two cents saying that Akhan’s Hunt would not end so fast as long as the members of Slaughterer’s Eye Guild are aware of this fact.]

[Slaughterer’s Eye Guild and Akhan will go on defense after learning about this.]

The entire world almost boiled over from their interest in the situation.

Meanwhile, in Cairon Continent Server, inside a vicious beast dungeon that was commonly referred to as the ‘Lucky Gold Mine Dungeon’.

The Lucky Gold Mine Dungeon was a dungeon that everyone wanted to hunt in. This was because the gold drop rate of the monsters inside this dungeon were twice that of the gold drop rate of other monsters of the same level, hence the name. The dungeon was also very vast and wide, allowing many players to roam and hunt inside comfortably. However, the dungeon had been taken over by the Slaughterer’s Eye Guild and players could only enter the dungeon by paying one platinum. If the players opted not to pay, they would then be PKed on the spot.

Right now...

Baaaaaaaaaaang—

“Keheoooook!”

“Uwaaaaaaack!”

“Keuaaaaaaaaaaack!”

Crack, crack, crack, crack—

Crumble—

Stab, stab—

...only harsh and ear-grating screams could be heard inside the vicious beast dungeon. In a blink of an eye, the almost-2,000 members of the Slaughterer’s Eye Guild stationed in this dungeon had been wiped out. AmbaLong, the assigned general manager of this dungeon, collapsed on the ground in shock.

“Im, impossible...”

Stab—

The moment he was forced to log out, AmbaLong sent a report to Zhang Mumu.

[AmbaLong: Zhang Mumu...!]

It did not end there.

In a ruby mine, one with tremendous value known for its random probability of dropping rubies with every dig of a pickaxe....

Originally, this ruby mine was not that popular. It only gained the people’s attention after a miner from a small mountain village nearby started to dig up rubies in every mining dive that he made. This ruby mine was, of course, taken over by the Slaughterer’s Eye Guild.

What did they do to monopolize the mine? Simple. They killed all of the people in the nearby villages and set everything on fire.

Thwaaaack—

“How did this happen?! Why can’t you stop a mere three players?!”

“That’s the problem. Because there are only three of them, we can’t find out what path they’re going to take, nor the destination that they’re headed to. It’s unpredictable. On top of that, whenever we try to gather troops in one territory, they will shake us off and go to other places. It’s as if there are ghosts helping them with intel.”

“In just a few days, seventeen of the places that we manage have been taken away. The worst part is the Food God’s meticulousness. He’s already held hands with the empires of the continent. The empires sent their Imperial Army and protected the places that have been taken away, effectively blocking us from getting them back again.”

Zhang Mumu’s head went as blank as a piece of paper. He was clever, and understood what Minhyuk was doing. The worst part? He could not contact Akhan at a time where something like this happened.

“I think it would be better for us to apologize to the Food God.”

“The provocation that we sent out back then is the catalyst that resulted in this situation.”

“...”

Zhang Mumu gritted his teeth. He never imagined that the Food God would resort to this simple method, a frontal breakthrough. He also did not expect that the words ‘bark like a dog’ that he uttered before would result in such a situation.

‘Should I send him a message?’

No. What the Food God wanted right now was Akhan. Of course, his provocation played a huge role in the events too. Still, Zhang Mumu knew that sending a message would not do anything.

Then, one of their guild members rushed inside the room and shouted, “GM! SNS is being flooded with comments praising the Food God!!!”

The positive public’s response to a hero demolishing and destroying a group of evil people was only natural.

‘What do I do? What am I supposed to do?’ Just when the thought flashed in Zhang Mumu’s head, loud sounds erupted from outside.

“Uwaaaaaaack!”

“Keuaaaaaaaaack!”

The Slaughterer’s Eye Guild’s branch managers were currently gathered in Affra Territory, their largest territory with their largest troops, managed by Zhang Mumu himself. Zhang Mumu hurriedly rushed outside, only to see a very startling scene.

“Kihyeeeeeeeee!”

“Kihyaaaaaaack!”

Thousands of undead charged toward the territory with Food God Minhyuk at the vanguard, swinging his sword wildly. Every swing of Minhyuk’s sword killed plenty of Zhang Mumu’s guild members. There was also the Savior running next to Minhyuk, meting out sentences, and creating explosions that swept away the area.

“These crazy f*cking bastards!!!”

Zhang Mumu was not a fool. He knew what these three, the people that destroyed several of their territories, were capable of. In fact, he already thought of running away the moment he saw them, but before he could even do so, a chain made of light appeared and wrapped around his body before disappearing from sight.

[The Savior is redeeming the wicked!]

[You will not be able to log out for one hour!]

[You will not be able to use a return scroll or a teleportation parchment for one hour!]

[You will not be able to leave within thirty meters of where you are standing right now for one hour!]

“Stop them! I’m telling you to stop theeeeeeeeeem!!!” Zhang Mumu cried loudly. No matter how strong they were, could they really wipe out thousands of troops in just an hour? Zhang Mumu hoped that it would not be the case as he watched the battle unfold in front of him nervously.

‘Isn’t he ridiculously strong?’

The Food God was so strong that Zhang Mumu wondered if that power was something that a player could truly have.

After thirty minutes of non-stop fighting, an unforgettable scene unfolded in front of Zhang Mumu’s very eyes. Minhyuk swung his sword that was covered with black flames and devoured more than 3,000 players all at once, forcing them to log out and turning their bodies gray.

“...”

Zhang Mumu was honestly terrified now. He could tell that his reign over the Cairon Continent was on the brink of falling apart! All he could do was rush back inside his office and hide, waiting until the one hour restriction was lifted.

‘One hour, yes just one hour. They can hold out for that long. After the time is up, I can just use the return scroll to escape from here and log out,’ Zhang Mumu thought, his body shaking as he waited nervously for the hour to pass.

Just as only three minutes were left till the end of the restriction, a strange and eerie silence greeted Zhang Mumu’s ears.

‘What? Were, were they able to wipe out all of my guild members?!’

That was right. This territory was the home of the Slaughterer’s Eye Guild. The number of troops stationed here easily exceeded 20,000. No matter how weak or subpar the troops were, could they really finish them off that fast?

‘No way, right?!’

Zhang Mumu pressed his ears to the door. He strained his hearing, listening for any sounds from the outside. Then...

Bang—

...a hand broke through the door and grabbed Zhang Mumu by the neck. Zhang Mumu saw Food God Minhyuk’s face through the gap created by the hand on the door. The Food God’s expression was terribly fierce. He raised a corner of his mouth and said to Zhang Mumu, “If you bark like a dog then I’ll think about it.”

The Food God was someone polite, he was someone that returned what he received, sometimes even more.
