Chapter 1032

Minhyuk could tell from Evan’s words that the true God’s Prison was beyond that door. Those that were located before that door? They were nothing but small fry.

He had also determined that no one beyond that door could hear or feel whatever commotion happened in this place, whether it was a loud explosion or a powerful shockwave.

That was the main reason they were now seeing countless monsters carrying the name “God” flocking toward them and trying to get past the dense lines of iron bars. Minhyuk even used the Supreme Overlord’s Technique to burn these monsters down if they weren’t already burning from the iron bars.

Crackle–!

A colossal firestorm shot toward the monsters that had gathered before them.

“Kihyeeeeeeeeck!!!”

“Keuhaaaaaack!”

“Graaaaaaaaaa!!!”

The monsters screamed violently as their flesh began to burn and melt. Enraged, they charged more fiercely toward Minhyuk, but the iron bars stopped them in their tracks and made their flesh melt even more.

Drip, drip, drip–

Once the flames died down, Minhyuk and Evan were greeted by a gruesome and terrible sight. The monsters’ flesh had melted from the fire and the iron bars.

However, Evan could see that not one of them had died. This was proof of their high vitality and defensive power.

“See. The damage that you have brought upon these monsters...” Evan’s words trailed off.

Crackle–

“...?”

Evan was shocked. The overwhelming power that the young man named Minhyuk released earlier was triggered once again. The blazing flames once again shot toward the monsters and devoured them.

Crackle–

This time, the blazing flames slowly turned the monsters into ashes that disappeared with the wind. When the black flames disappeared, not one of the monsters was left.

Evan could only look at the scene in front of him in shock. No matter how strong this young man was, these monsters were considered to be God-rank beings from each of their races. Among them were the Orc God, Goblin God, Werewolf God, Ogre God, and many more. Yet he could kill more than five hundred of them in just one or two attacks?

Meanwhile, Minhyuk listened to the notifications constantly ringing in his ears.

[You have gained 11,315 platinum.]

[You have gained 15,413 platinum.]

[You have gained 12,315 platinum.]

[You have gained 17,000 platinum...]

[You have gained... platinum...]

[...gained...]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

Minhyuk’s level increased by three in one go.

‘Did the amount of EXP needed to increase my level by one increase significantly with each level up?’

Minhyuk expected to increase his level by at least five with how many mobs were present. But the amount of EXP he would need to raise his level had risen significantly with each level.

‘This is really diabolical.’

Even so, it was still quite a good harvest. After all, it was tough for ordinary players to increase their levels by three in one go.

‘This time, the amount of gold that I have obtained is around nine million platinum.’

It just went to show how insane the standards of this dungeon were. And Minhyuk? He knew he could not enter a dungeon of this caliber again.

Then, there were the artifacts. No artifacts had dropped ever since he entered this dungeon.

‘In exchange for the insane amount of EXP and gold, no artifacts will drop. I should not expect any artifacts to drop.’

Minhyuk nodded. Then, he checked something else.

[Hunt Rate: 17%.]

If he killed the monsters and gods in this place and reached a 40% Hunt Rate, he could obtain the Light of Purification.

Minhyuk thought he had already reached 40% at this point, but things seemed more challenging than he thought.

‘Well, Grandpa Beradon said he did not accept disciples easily.’

This meant that he would not create an easy quest. After checking everything, Minhyuk moved to enter the prison's depths.

Evan saw this and immediately persuaded him not to continue. He said, “Are you really thinking of going inside?”

Evan admitted that his shocking idea allowed him to hunt all those monsters in one go. But once he went through those doors, he would face not mere orc gods but real gods.

‘Of course, there’s no doubt that he’s strong. After all, he’s the next generation Battle God.’

The position of Battle God was not something one could obtain just because they had excellent skills in commanding and ruling their men. Nevertheless, the fact that he was alone remained unchanged.

“I believe it’s more appropriate for you to go out and inform the current generation Battle God about the situation inside the prison and ask him to send an army.”

Evan’s words were both realistic and not realistic at the same time.

“We... We are already at the point where we cannot get out of this place until we purify everything.”

“...!”

Evan hurriedly looked behind him. Although he could not see it, he could feel a strong force blocking the exit.

“And I don’t know if the Battle God knows about the situation here or not. But they cannot enter or exit this place freely from the outside.”

These were nothing but Minhyuk’s guesses. But they were also very realistic. After all, he heard that he would not be able to leave unless he purified the prison or was forced to log out when he stepped foot in this place.

Minhyuk walked steadily down the dark path.

“We have to open that door at the end of this path and go inside.”

Evan could not refute Minhyuk’s words. At this moment, he felt like everything before him had gone dark. He said, “I will be released in 600 years, but...”

A complicated expression settled on Evan’s face. He was once the Battle God who ruled and commanded the world. Then, he became nothing but a prisoner locked up in this dark and dreary prison. At one point, he started thinking about the life he would live once he got out of this place. He wished to live an ordinary life.

At that moment, Minhyuk took out his Food God’s Almighty Tool and various ingredients.

“Boy, what are you doing?”

Evan could not understand why the boy did something like this so suddenly.

“If I cook and eat my dish, I will become stronger.”

“...?”

What kind of nonsense was this boy spouting? He would grow stronger after eating the dish that he cooked? Of course, Evan was aware of buffs. But from what he knew, what the young man wanted to do would only happen if he could eat a dish made by the God of Cooking or the Food God.

But the moment Evan saw how skillful and excellent Minhyuk’s movements were as he cooked, he realized that he had completely missed something.

“I am the Battle God. But I am also the Food God.”

“...!”

Looking at the shocked Evan, Minhyuk said, “If a great dish comes out, then I will be 40% stronger than I am now.”

Evan did not believe the young man’s words. Minhyuk also offered to cook for Evan, but the previous generation Battle God refused.

“I don’t feel really well right now.”

Evan was completely tense, caught up in the thought that he would die at any given moment. Even if he was a god, the fear of death was deeply ingrained in his bones.

“Then, I’ll make two servings for now,” Minhyuk said as he continued to cook.

After he finished cooking, the young man began to eat happily.

‘His speed is outstanding. Even so, in a situation like this, how can he...’

How could the young man eat so happily like that?

‘Become 40% stronger? That’s ridiculous.’ Evan shook his head. He wondered if the next generation Battle God was just someone filled with hot air.

Not long after, Minhyuk stood up and opened the door. At that moment, Evan saw something flash from the crack that opened.

While wondering if Minhyuk was just bragging, he forgot to tell the young man that a hydra would await him once he opened the door. A hydra was a gigantic snake with nine heads. If they failed to cut all of its head within two minutes, all of its injuries would recover, and its head would grow again.

“This– Damn it...! There’s a hydra in front of the door!”

But it was already too late. Minhyuk had already completely opened the door. One had to be fully prepared before fighting a hydra. They had to think of a plan that would allow them to cut off all of the hydra’s heads within two minutes.

Bang–!

Then, one of the hydra’s heads shot toward the ground at that moment. Evan’s eyes widened when he saw the thick cloud of dust that bloomed from the impact.

“Now that I have eaten, I can deal with a hydra within two minutes.”

“...?!”

Evan’s already eyes grew even wider. A hydra was a monster god that even five gods fighting together could not defeat. But Evan saw that the young man only took twelve seconds to cut one of the hydra’s heads and make it fall to the ground.

[You have cut off one of the Hydra’s heads!]

[You must cut off the remaining eight heads within two minutes.]

With two swords in the young man’s hands, it took him another nine seconds to cut off another head.

[You have cut off two of the Hydra’s heads.]

Minhyuk flew up and slashed at another head five times in a row. This time, it took another twelve seconds.

[...three of the Hydra’s heads...]

Using Like the Wind and other appropriate skills, he leaped to the sky again and cut off another head. It took eleven seconds.

Shwaaaaa–!

[...four of the Hydra’s heads...]

“Ego Chain Sickle.”

Clank, clank, clank–!

He blew off another head with the help of a sickle with a long chain.

[...five of the Hydra’s heads...]

Minhyuk jumped fiercely and stabbed his two swords into the center of one of the hydra’s heads. Then, he inserted some force and separated it from its body.

[...six of the Hydra’s heads...]

Flash–!

At the same time, the chain sickle moved and cut off the seventh head.

Fwoosh–!

“Heaven Tearing Sword.”

[...eight of the Hydra’s heads...]

Minhyuk’s body flashed as he ran toward the remaining head.

Spurt–!

Blood spurted out of the hydra’s neck as half of its neck was cut off.

[In four seconds, the hydra’s heads will regenerate!]

“I told you it would be difficult...!” Evan shouted, his face completely ugly. This was because the remaining head was only cut halfway.

But Minhyuk moved with the Ego Chain Sickle and split the remaining half of the neck away from its body. It was as if it was all within the young man’s calculation.

Swoosh–!

[You have cut off all the Hydra’s heads within two minutes.]

[You have hunted the Mythical Monster Hydra.]

“...”

Evan felt goosebumps rise on his back as he watched Minhyuk look at the collapsing hydra with an indifferent expression.
