Chapter 864

Chapter 864

The number of strong men and powerhouses who dominated an entire era was limited. There were eras with exceptionally high numbers of strong men, but their numbers remained limited.

And Dark Elf Jack? He was once one of the leading powerhouses of his era. Back then, he fought against many people. There was a human that had become transcendental after transcending the limits of his human body. He became a god that possessed the strongest power among the gods, with a legendary class that had already gone beyond the realms of god. A king of an entire race. Men who threatened humanity as a whole. He had fought against so many and found out something common about these strong men.

They were people that would not bow down to anyone.

Why did those people, who were hailed as the supremes, fight against each other? Even though Dark Elf Jack was considered one of those strong men, he still loved peace back then. Nevertheless, he understood their reasoning. They fought against each other because of their desire to possess and dominate. The supremes would never work with each other. They were like oil and water.

They were the type of people who had high pride and ego. They might kneel to others but never allow themselves to bow down to anyone. But what Dark Elf Jack was witnessing was something that went against that.

The current eras supremes had surrounded Pero, who was floating in the sky and glaring fiercely at him. Then, Jack heard these vassals shout, Your Majesty, please give us your orders!!!

Those that would not mix like oil and water were all working together. And they all served a single man.

Sizzle

Minhyuk, whose HP had dropped below 10% in one go, immediately ate some choco bars and used his Absorption Conversion skill. When his HP had recovered by more than 20%, he looked up and glared at Pero before giving his order, Destroy him.

Thats not it. Its probably because its been long since I appeared in this world, right?

Jack quickly denied his conjectures. Yes, they might be powerhouses, but they were most likely not the ones who stood at the peak of this current era. The true supreme was only the man named Minhyuk. However, that was only his wishful thinking.

Then, a man with a massive build, Brod, made a move. Mercenarys Pinnacle Swordsmanship. Final Chapter.

Brod looked infinitely smaller than the thirty-meter-tall Pero. However, when Brod swung his sword, hundreds of red sword lights tore through Peros body.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!

Ah! Hurts! It hurts- hurts! It hurts!!! It huuuuurts!

Pero was the Great Spirit of Darkness, so no one should have been able to inflict damage on his body. However, the red sword lights that Brod released forced a scream out of Peros mouth.

Jack shook his head. Right, lets deny the reality in front of us.

At that moment, an old man with long black hair stepped forward. Even if he was once a legend or even if he became a god, an old man would forever be considered a weak and frail existence; it was only natural. As people grew older, they also grew more vulnerable. However, this old man was different.

Spear Gods Bull.

The elderly man named Ben might look weak and frail, but he had the God-rank artifact God Piercing Spear in his hands. When he raised this spear, the soft and feeble old man would instantly become one of the greatest gods, Spear God Ben.

The moment he activated the Spear Gods Bull, a spearlight shot from the tip of his spear and turned into a recklessly charging bull.

[Spear Gods Bull.]

[The Spear Gods Bull will charge at anything and everything within a hundred-meter radius and inflict 6,800% additional damage.]

[Those that the Spear Gods Bull had grazed would receive a variety of abnormal status debuffs!]

[You have equipped the God Piercing Spear!]

[The one that equipped the God Piercing Spear would receive a 1.4x increase in all their skills damage!]

[The Spear Gods Bull will have 9,520% additional damage.]

The Spear Gods Bull triggered right above Peros head, receiving a 1.4x increase in damage after Ben equipped the God Piercing Spear. The Spear Gods Bull pierced through Pero before charging straight toward the dark elves below them and tearing them apart.

Keuaaaaaaaaaack! Aaaaaaaaaack! S- stop! It hurts. It hurts. It hurts!!!

Jack grew restless when he heard Pero scream once again. Peros recovery rate was beyond anyones imagination. He could see that the injuries on Peros body were slowly recovering.

[Recovery Regulation.]

[The system has taken control over Peros recovery rate. He would not be able to recover from his injuries!]

...

Jack turned his focus on one of the women. And he could not believe his eyes. The cold look on the girls face could not hide how pretty she was. Her clear skin and slightly raised eyes were a thing of beauty. However, those eyes were very familiar to Jack.

Elizabeth?

Of course, Jack knew who Elizabeth was. She was the god in charge of the system and a very pitiful woman who was driven away from the Land of the Gods by the Absolute Gods and trapped and sealed on earth.

How come youre here?

Jack could not understand a lot of what he witnessed today. While he was still confused, the enemies continuously attacked Pero, whose ability to recover had been restricted.

Giants Fist.

Boooooooooooom!

King of Fist Khans punch landed on Peros waist and almost dislocated his pelvis. But that was not the end; Ares quickly landed a kick on the back of Peros head.

Kiiiick!

Keuooooook! Aaaaaaaack!

Jack looked at the man in confusion. This man was the man who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of elves by himself. So, why did he suddenly take out a mixer and a bowl? But the moment he started to whisk the mixer in the bowl, all the attacks in the area disappeared into nothingness.

Shwaaaaaaa!

Keok?! Jack spat out in shock.

However, Minhyuk did not stop there. He quickly used the Absolute Defense skill and became invincible for seven seconds before casting another skill just below Pero.

Sword of Absolute Death.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!

Hundreds of lightning bolts fell upon the Great Spirits Pinnacle Power and began crushing it. After the Sword of Absolute Death tore apart most attacks above them, Minhyuk quickly reached for the Legendary Frying Pan in his inventory.

Gigantification.

A tremendous amount of mana slowly entered the frying pan and made it grow bigger and bigger. Then, Minhyuk wielded the pan and swung it toward the remaining hundreds of lightning bolts, boulders, and blazing balls of flames slowly falling upon them.

Swoooooooosh

A vast number of the attacks were blocked by the gigantified frying pan. This was only possible because Minhyuks magical defense would reach a level beyond anyones imagination, especially with the frying pan in his hands. But that was not all; he could also reflect more than half of the magical attacks sent his way.

However, even if he did so, more than half were already falling toward the surviving dark elves and coalition army troops.

Fwoooooooosh

But then, a mighty wind blew. The fierce winds power was similar to that of the Great Spirit of Winds Pinnacle Power that Pero had summoned earlier. The wind instantly tore apart the boulders, blazing balls of flames, and lightning bolts falling from the sky, making them disappear into nothingness.

Everyone, including Minhyuk, was surprised. When Minhyuk turned to look around him, he saw Elven King Argon with around ten million elves aiming their arrows at Jack and the dark elves behind him. And right beside Elven King Argon was the Wind Spirit King in the form of a woman. Argon looked like he was very exhausted and breathless after summoning a Spirit King. It seemed like he could not call her for too long since the figure of the Wind Spirit King immediately dispersed and disappeared.

Jack, who saw the elves appear on the scene, could not hide his surprise. Then, he heard Argon ask, Father of the Elves, how were you able to come to this world?

... Jacks mouth turned shut.

Minhyuk was relieved to see that the elves were showing hostility toward the dark elves. However, he also found something a bit too strange: This episode is a bit weird.

Generally, signs and omens would appear before an episode broke out. There would usually be something happening in the game to signal the start of an episode or Athenae would release a trailer or an announcement in advance to tell the players about a large-scale episode. Why? Because this was also a way for Athenae to entertain players and attract new subscribers.

However, not even a bit of foreshadowing happened before this episode started. Jack, the king of the dark elves and the father of all elves, just suddenly awakened and began the invasion of the dark elves.

No way, right? Minhyuks brows furrowed.

Jack was one of the Six Monster Gods. However, the Six Monster Gods no longer held such a massive influence in Athenae. Why? If all of the high-rankers had joined this war, they would have been able to overpower Jack and the dark elves without Minhyuk's appearance. After all, they were all talented and strong individuals who could return to life even if they died in battle. Simply put, episodes related to the Six Monster Gods no longer held any appeal to the masses. Because of that, Minhyuk and the Beyond the Heavens Empire came out to hunt them down.

Theres no way that Jack is just a smokescreen for this episode, right?

Just when the thought crossed Minhyuks head, Jack said, The one that allowed us to descend upon this world is

Everyone, including the kings and emperors, Minhyuk, and Elven King Argon, listened carefully to Jacks words.

Immortal Sorceress Helenia.

...!

...!

...!

...!

Everyones eyes grew wide from shock. At the same time, a shocking world message resonated worldwide.

[The Episode: Invasion of the Dark Elven King and the Dark Elven Army has changed!]

[The Episode: One of the Eight Pillars, Immortal Sorceress Helenia has started!]

Minhyuks prediction suddenly became a reality. The episode regarding the Six Monster Gods was indeed just a smokescreen. The true episode? It was the first ever Eight Pillars Episode.

***

Sword God Valen had recently found a new Sword Gods Descendant.

Minhyuk.

Like Obren, Sword God Valen knew the Eight Pillars would considerably threaten Minhyuk. It was one of the reasons why he still did not cross the River of Reincarnation. He had hoped that Ellie would become his successor and help the boy. However, she chose not to inherit his position to protect her empire.

This time, Valen had turned his attention to a different successor he had been eyeing for a long time. A small and faint smile was on his face as he watched his chosen one.

This boy will be the sword that will protect you.

Valen, who was in his translucent soul form, continued to watch his chosen descendant, the faint smile on his face growing by the second. And the one that he was looking at?

I am Conir! Everyone, eat ramyeon before going!

The story of the new Sword God was about to begin.
