Chapter 548: Minhyuk’s Revenge

Akhan had gathered his followers before proceeding with the ritual. They were mostly summoners and necromancers but their numbers had reached around 2,000, a fairly decent and powerful force.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

But why did they not appear to help Akhan? To be exact, where were they? It was because Death and Lu Bai blocked their path.

Barlone, the 16th in the global swordsman rankings, was also one of Akhan’s followers. Barlone thought that they had to quickly kill the two people that blocked their path and help Akhan, but the necromancers and the summoners did not move. In fact...

‘What the hell?! Those crazy f*ckers! Why do their eyes look like they’re twinkling?!’

...their eyes were shining brightly as if they were witnessing the descent of someone they respected and admired.

“Mister Death, can’t you summon one of your Death Knights just once, for us?”

“I’m your fan!”

“Mister Death, please summon your Death Knights. Please?”

“...?”

Death scratched the back of his head in embarrassment as he summoned his Death Knights, “Death Knight Summon, Baroque. Death Knight Summon, Ondoen.”

The Death Knights appeared and surrounded Death. And when they appeared, the necromancers and summoners all reacted spectacularly.

“Oh, ooooooooooooh! So, so cool...!”

“Kihyaaa! Look! Death can summon fifteen of them at once!”

“OMG? They’re not just any kind of Death Knights, right? They’re True Death Knights!!!”

“Keok! As expected of Mister Death...!”

Barlone’s face turned ugly.

‘These crazy f*ckers needed to kill these two and go to Akhan’s aid so why are they clapping while shouting praises at Death?’

“What the hell are you guys doing?! Akhan is in danger right now!!!”

Death immediately turned vigilant when he heard Barlone’s cries, ‘It would still be hard for us to deal with 2,000 necromancers and summoners.’

Death was someone that specialized in large-scale battles. The problem here was that everyone of their enemies was the same as him. If there were more than thirty high rankers among them that could summon a Death Knight, then they could immediately outnumber Death’s summons. He could already expect a very difficult battle ahead of them. To his surprise...

“Mister Death, you’re very handsome~!”

“Mister Death, what dishes do you like to eat?”

“Oppa, please take me!!!”

“Darling, please. You’re already thirty-eight this year.”

“All handsome men are oppas! Kyaaaa!”

“...”

“...”

“...”

Death, Lu Bai, Barlone and those that could not hide their embarrassment from the sudden turn of events were left speechless. That was right. Most of them claimed to be Akhan’s followers but they actually came to his aid because of the profits that they would gain from him. After all, it was very hard for necromancers and summoners to develop and nurture themselves. On top of that, there was less content on how to develop summoners and necromancers in the market.

But what use would those profits be to them when the person that reached the peak of the necromancer arts was standing right in front of them?

All necromancers had some sort of envy and jealousy toward Death. After all, he was someone that had once surprised the entire world during the ‘Athenae: World War’ with his necromancer class and overcame a necromancer’s inferiority complex against summoners. Death had then become the idol of many necromancers and summoners in the world. His popularity was actually much higher in the Chinese Server’s Cairon Continent.

Of course, Akhan was popular too. But Death’s handsome visage, which was cured of the severe burn that covered it thanks to Minhyuk’s help, shook the hearts of many.

“Crazy bastards!!!”

“Get your grip together!!!”

“What a bunch of f*ckers!!!”

Eventually, Akhan’s true followers went crazy. That was when Death pulled a crazy stunt. He was, after all, one of Minhyuk’s best friends and he learned many things from him, including how to adapt to any scenario and overcome any dire situations.

With a fierce and vicious look on his face, Death stepped forward, making everyone turn nervous and gulp dryly from his sheer momentum. Then, he climbed on a small rock, sat down on it, and crossed his legs before bringing his thumb and index finger to the tip of his nose and smirking. The sun setting behind him created a halo that surrounded his body as he gently swept up his hair.

Moonlight is shining down~ Shalalala~[1]

Death, with a smile like that of Terrius, said, “Oh my~ oh dear~ everyone, are you my fans?”

“Yes!!!”

“Kyaaaaaaa!!!”

“I like it!!!”

[The Lightning Skill is originally a permanent passive skill. However, due to restrictions, you can only use it for ten minutes.]

Minhyuk decided to throw the problem with the Absolute Gods to the back of his mind. He did not have much time left with this skill. The Elder Demon Worshipers were the best in the continent; that was why he had to deal with them first and foremost. From what it looked like, they also became nervous after realizing that something unusual had happened with Minhyuk.

At the same time, Black Sorcerer Vaernon winked at Marquis Loumat. Marquis Loumat was a marquis from Andor Empire and was hailed as a ‘Sword Master’. In fact, only two people in the entire continent were strong enough to reach the level of swordsmanship that was worthy of being called a ‘Sword Master’.

Sword Masters were very powerful individuals that were known to exert power that was close to, or perhaps even on par with, a Demigod. Of course, Marquis Loumat had not really reached the level of a Sword Master yet, but he was hailed as one because he was extremely strong. With Marquis Loumat at the lead, the elders began another siege.

Swooooooosh—

A beautiful aura appeared and surrounded Marquis Loumat’s sword, increasing his sword’s cutting force by three times and giving him an additional 3,000% attack. Marquis Loumat’s sword moved smoothly as it slashed toward Minhyuk’s body. At that moment, Asura’s Shield was triggered, creating a red shield that tried to block Marquis Loumat’s sword. However, it could not stop it.

Slaaaaash—

The sword cut down the red translucent shield. Although the damage was slightly weakened, the sword still successfully slashed Minhyuk’s body.

Fwooooosh—

The problem was Minhyuk’s armor. Only a shallow wound was left on Minhyuk’s body, thanks to the protection of his armor. Then...

“Is that it?”

“...?!”

Marquis Loumat’s eyes widened in shock. He realized that their attempt at an attack this time was purposely allowed. Then, he saw Minhyuk’s sword, which was engraved with the word ‘Crazy’, shine a bright golden light. And when his sword cut down Marquis Loumat...

[Crazy’s ten consecutive hits have been triggered!]

[An additional 3,000% attack has been added to your sword that attacked the enemy.]

The wind created by the force of Minhyuk’s slash turned into a blade that cut Marquis Loumat.

“Keok...?!” Marquis Loumat groaned loudly as the effect of ten consecutive damages rampaged in his body.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—

“Keuaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!”

Marquis Loumat’s body was torn apart, his blood splattering all over the place and soaking the ground beneath him. And when Minhyuk swung his sword again...

[Crazy’s six consecutive hits have been triggered!]

[An additional 3,000% attack has been added to your sword that attacked the enemy.]

...the wind from the force of Minhyuk’s slash turned into blades once again and tore Marquis Loumat’s body even further.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—

Minhyuk cut down Marquis Loumat, who looked like he was about to collapse anytime soon, and finished him off.

[You have gotten rid of Demon Worshiper Elder, Marquis Loumat!]

[You have gained 100 platinum.]

[You have leveled up.]

[Marquis Loumat lived as both a marquis of an empire and a demon worshiper.]

[He has done countless evil and atrocious deeds in his life!]

[You have gained 644,311,110 EXP!]

[You have gained 311 platinum!]

After cutting down Marquis Loumat, Minhyuk wiped the traces of blood on his face and thought, ‘Is this the reason why... they decided to seal the skill?’

At that moment, Minhyuk understood what the Athenae Production Team were feeling as well as the reason why the Absolute Gods were furious. If this skill permanently became his passive skill, then it was a skill that would be way beyond OP, even surpassing ‘Overlapping Delight’ in terms of power. In fact, the highest consecutive hits that he could trigger with Crazy with his buff effects was eight. Even if he could reach ten, the additional damage that it could incur was only at around 1,000%.

“...”

“...”

“...”

“...”

The elders were stunned and speechless. Marquis Loumat was one of their stronger members, and him dying here was a shocking sight for them. The worst part? Minhyuk’s Slaughterer’s Absorption, another passive skill, had been triggered as a bead of blood floated from the remains of Marquis Loumat’s body and got absorbed in Minhyuk’s body, recovering from all the damage incurred earlier.

Minhyuk looked at the stunned elders around him and said, “Hey, you. All of you, come here.”

‘I’ll kill you all.’
