Chapter 818

Chapter 818

For high rankers, twenty platinum was not much. That amount of money was something that they could earn by working hard in a day or two. However, how many of the players were high rankers?

High ranking players only accounted for 5% of the tens of millions of high-leveled players of Athenae. Hence, twenty platinum was important to the majority of these players.

The difference in level between the high rankers and the ordinary high-leveled players was quite huge. High rankers could solo a boss mob, while ordinary high-leveled players would need to team up with at least five or six other players.

Because of that, most of them would only be able to earn around one or two platinum per day. But now, these ordinary players were given the opportunity to earn platinum that was worth a hundred million in cash, just by killing anyone siding with the Jade Emperor.

Everyone had many points of interest when they saw the notifications. First, they were shocked that Minhyuk had the financial power to pull this off. Second, they were very surprised to know that they would also have the chance to gain hundreds of millions in cash.

Everything was at a standstill despite the non-stop bombings of magical attacks sent by Edea’s Allied Forces. Even the arrows fell continuously, piercing through the bodies of the players that stood there in a daze. However, there was a strange sense of tension that buzzed in the air amidst the battlefield.

Then, at that moment, a person’s voice rang out.

“Hey. Let’s split the money fifty-fifty. I’ll give you fifty million won.”

One of the players stabbed the heart of his friend that logged in the game together with him.

“Hey. Don’t you think that’s a bit too much... you f*cker.”

An ugly expression flashed on the face of the player that got stabbed in the heart.

“It’s just a game anyway.”

That spark gave way to a rapidly devolving situation.

“Haren, I’m sorry.”

Staaaaaaaab—

“Keuaaaaaaaaack! You m*therf*cker...”

Slaaaaaaaash!

“Aaaaaaaack!”

“Keuaaaaaack!”

The screams of players being killed by their own comrades rang loudly in the battlefield. The commotion grew gradually like the cracks created by an earthquake, as greedy players killed their own allies one after another.

The wavering players were thinking, ‘It should be fine, right?’ This was particularly the case for the mages. They were considered the most threatening existence during this moment. After all, they were capable of casting AOE magic attacks from afar. These kinds of skills would be most effective since the coalition army were all gathered together.

The close combat players were at the vanguard while the archers and the mages were at the rear. In other words, the mages were gathered together. All of them used their AOE magic at the same time, as if they had been waiting for this moment.

“Explosion!”

“Fire Storm!”

“Fire Wall!”

“Wind Cutter!”

Their targets were the archers that had significantly lower HP and defenses compared to the close combat players.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—!

“Keuaaaaaaaack!”

“Aaaack! This damn bastard mages!!!”

“Keuaaaaaack!”

The archers began to shoot their arrows to retaliate against the mages’ offensive.

“Yes! I killed three people!”

“I got two!!!”

However, the mages, who could cast AOE magic attacks, were at a more advantageous position.

This indiscriminate bombings and attacks between the mages and the archers was enough to make the players who were sitting over the fence, come to a decision.

“This f*cking bastard! Want to try me, huh?!!”

“Shut up, f*cker!”

“You morons! Are you going to kill your comrades just for a hundred million won?!”

“Yeah! I can kill for a hundred million won!”

The thing that could make people do the scariest things in the world was money.

[A terrible catastrophe is unfolding right in front of our very eyes.]

[The ones that have gathered to deal with Edea’s Allied Forces have been taken advantage of and are now killing each other.]

[In the first place, the Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army is a group of people that have gathered only for the benefits. For people like them, the Fairy Tears have a very sweet allure.]

[This is definitely Player Minhyuk’s idea. It’s amazing. Some might say that Player Minhyuk’s method is a common chaebol behavior where they show off their money. But if we look at the reality, we can’t say that it’s something that he should not do.]

[Player Minhyuk is in a very unfavorable situation after all. He has to protect the entire Edea by himself.]

[Because of the situation, the viewers will most likely say that he’s a truly amazing person instead of criticizing Player Minhyuk.]

[As we speak, the turtle ships have once again fired their dragon cannons.]

[Edea’s Allied Forces are also helping with their magic attacks and arrows.]

[The Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army is decreasing in numbers at a truly fast pace.]

The notifications also rang at the same time.

[Edea’s Allied Forces have defeated 450,000 of the Jade Emperor Coalition Army!]

[According to the agreement made between the Battle God and the Jade Emperor, special privileges and benefits will be given to Player Minhyuk, the commander of Edea’s Allied Forces.]

The Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army was in a much superior position. Because of that, the Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army would not receive any benefits. On the other hand, those that would stand on Edea’s side would receive all the benefits. Alas, none of those that sided with the Jade Emperor knew about the rewards that the Allied Forces would receive.

[Hella’s soul is nearing its demise!]

[Hurry up! Harvest the final Sin’s Ingredient and allow Hella to reincarnate safely!]

Minhyuk knew that there was no time for him to rest, especially after hearing the notifications.

“Now... you know that I wouldn’t believe that all of this is just because you’re tired, right?”

“...” Hella smiled bitterly as she struggled to get up. “Soon, my soul might be gone forever. That’s why...”

Hella held the hoe in her hand tightly.

“...for Hell to thrive and bloom.”

‘And for the dark and brooding you.’

“Let’s go and harvest the fourth and final ingredient.”

Minhyuk hurriedly approached the last Sin’s Ingredient and stretched his hand out. The final Sin’s Ingredient was cabbage.

[You have started the harvest of the Fourth Sin’s Ingredient, the Sin’s Cabbage.]

[You need to harvest the Sin’s Cabbage in three days.]

Crackleeeeeeee—

Blazing flames that seemed like they could burn anything and everything in their path burst out of the cabbage. It seemed like one had to endure the blazing flames to successfully harvest the cabbage. Minhyuk and Hella walked toward the cluster of blazing flames together.

Meanwhile, Minhyuk thought, ‘The Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army will face Hanwoo for the second round.’

***

Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army.

The high rankers were discussing their next steps.

“That guy will probably send Hanwoo out next,” Xu Jiaqi said.

Hanwoo was a being that could grow several tens of meters in height and was someone that boasted a powerful attack. He was a very terrifying being that had trampled tens of thousands of enemies in the countless battles that he had participated in with his Hanwoo Charge.

However, the Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army was fully prepared to face him. Once Hanwoo used his Charge skill, the global number one tanker, Valentino, would summon his Shield Wall along with the other tankers.

Valentino’s Shield Wall could only be activated after taking the MP of the other tankers around him. However, Valentino’s Shield Wall was the best shield. In fact, it could stop anyone’s charge and they were confident it could even block Hanwoo.

At that moment, terrifying sounds rang out.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud—

The thundering footsteps made the entire Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army nervous.

“Valentinooooooo!!!”

“I know!!!”

Valentino, one of the kings in the Battle of the Thrones and the global number one tanker, stepped forward with tens of thousands of rankers at the cry of the other high rankers.

[To activate Shield’s Wall, you need to use the MP of other tankers.]

[Player Ronsi has given his power to your shield.]

[Player Kenya...to your shield.]

[Player Ero...to your shield.]

Tens of thousands of rankers channeled their MP to power Valentino’s Shield Wall. Then, a flash of bright and blinding light appeared as Valentino slammed his square shield into the ground.

Crack—

At the same time, a transparent shield appeared as his shield grew several tens of meters in height. This Shield Wall would definitely be able to neutralize Hanwoo’s Charge.

At that moment, Sun Wukong suddenly appeared in the skies above them on his Flying Nimbus. Then, he threw a bottle filled with white sloshing liquid in the air.

Pop—

Piiiing—

The bottle burst, creating what seemed like a flash bang that instantly made everyone’s vision turn white, while a piercing sound rang in their ears. Even Valentino’s vision had turned white.

However, Valentino grinned. Why? Because he has a skill called God’s Aggro, a skill that could drag the target toward his shield without fail. Before the flash bang burst out, he had seen Hanwoo growing and charging at them from a distance. So, he triggered God’s Aggro.

[God’s Aggro.]

[Please choose your target!]

“Hanwoo.”

[Your chosen target will collide with your Shield’s Wall!]

The enemy was trying to blind them for a moment and bring chaos and confusion? Bullshit. That was nothing.

Beeeeeeep—

At that moment, their vision and hearing started to return. The grinning Valentino could not help but breathe out in disbelief after looking beyond his powerful and transparent shield.

“Keheoook!”

A commotion broke out among the players.

“Wh— What the hell?!”

“This is crazy!!!”

“I— I never expected something like this!!!”

The scene that greeted them when their vision returned was the terrifying charge of not one, but more than a hundred, fifty-meter-high Hanwoos.

“Mooooooo!!!”

“Moooooooooooo!!!”

“Moooooooo!!!”
