<h4>Chapter 547: Minhyuk’s Revenge</h4>
What kind of yer was Crazy Tyrant Akhan?
He was a lunatic that did plenty of unpredictable and questionable things. He was someone that had achieved plenty of titles andpleted many hidden quests, that even Food God Minhyuk could not catch up to his records. He was also a legendary yer that induced the dragons to move and invade the Asgan Continent. People said that Akhan was the evil of Athenae, since no other person had that much influence and could do something so outrageous.
But right now, this very same Akhan had his face turned sharply from a p on his right cheek. Actually, his face did not turn in that direction for too long, since his other cheek was soon pped too, forcing his face to return to the way it was before. The p was so loud and strong that even PD Ni Dahong, who was watching through the screen, unconsciously rubbed his cheeks.
That was when PD Ni heard the voices of his team members behind him.
“Our viewership rating has reached 38%!”
“The viewership rating exceeded 40%!”
“We’ve exceeded 41%!!! Our ratings are climbing at a crazy rate as of the moment!!!”
“Kghkkk, haaa…!”
PD Ni Dahong was very shocked at the sudden surge in viewership ratings. No other person had as much impact as Akhan in Athenae. However, after pondering, PD Ni thought, <i>‘But the one right next to him in terms of impact must be yer Minhyuk, right?’</i>
The battle between these two people naturally attracted the attention of many people. In fact, PD Ni expected that this broadcast could attract more attention and viewers than the ‘Athenae: World War’ episode.
At the same time, PD Ni Dahong felt like a decade-worth of words that blocked his throat had smoothly gone down his pipes after watching Akhan get pped like that.
***
What did Akhan intend to do? He wanted to awaken Great Demon Verus, the demon that Food God Minhyuk had sealed and would remain sealed for quite a long time, and let him run amok until the world was ruined.
If that happened then Akhan might be able to show his loyalty and gain the trust of Great Demon Verus, and perhaps even acquire a shocking ss, <i>‘Great Demon’s Sessor’.</i> Actually, when he was still part of the development team, during the early stages of game nning, they had made a ss with the same name. That was why he was confident in his ns and gathered the elder-level demon worshipers to perform a ritual that would summon and awaken Great Demon Verus.
But someone suddenly appeared and grabbed the torch that he threw towards the sheep, women, and children.
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
The robed elders that surrounded the hexagonal magic circle were all shocked at the sudden turn of events. Especially after seeing the person, who they thought was one of the elders, approach Akhan. Even Akhan could not fathom what was happening since he could not discern the face hidden under the hood of the robe.
But gradually, the face hidden by the robe was revealed to Akhan. Akhan had jeered andughed at him before. After all, how dare someone like him dare dere a war against him? It was something that Akhan could only snort at. Besides, he was part of the early developer team. He was someone that created most of Athenae, alongside President Kang Taehoon.
Of course, Kang Taehoon and Supeputer Athenae had changed a lot of things inside Athenae, but Akhan was as much a genius gamer as he was a developer. For someone like him, this yer in front of him was just one among the hundreds of millions of yers in this world.
But Minhyuk, a mere yer, walked towards Akhan with a vicious expression as he pped the surprised Akhan on the face. When he first got hit, Akhan could not understand what had happened to him. All that registered in his head was the fact that one of his cheeks was tingling. But the moment his other cheek got pped…
<i>‘M, me… Me…?! Someone that’s akin to Athenae’s Gods…?!’</i>
Just like how the people hailed President Kang Taehoon as a god here in Athenae, Akhan believed himself to be a god here too. And someone insignificant like this person in front of him actually dared to p a god in the face?
“How dare you, you bastard…!” Akhan shouted, veins popping on his temple and his eyes turning red from fury.
But, Minhyuk just took out a dagger, stabbed Akhan on the shoulder and…
<i>Stab—</i>
…grabbed his head while saying, “I told you. I will kill you again and again.”
“Keuaaaaaaaaack!”
<i>Sizzleeeee—</i>
The flesh on Akhan’s shoulder began to burn and melt as the dagger dug deeper into his body. The notifications, as if apanying the pain he was feeling, rang in Akhan’s ears while he screamed out loud.
<i>[You have received a hit from the Judge’s Dagger.]</i>
<i>[The Judge’s Dagger is a dagger that hailed from Athenae Religion; it is a dagger that judges the wicked.]</i>
<i>[The Judge’s Dagger is assessing all of your evil misdeeds and deciding on your sentence.]</i>
<i>[You will receive the following punishments: upon death, you will receive twenty times more penalty than the normal penalty for a forced logout.]</i>
<i>[You will not be able to log in Athenae for two straight weeks.]</i>
<i>[The Judge’s Dagger has assessed your evil misdeeds. Your movements will be bound for ten minutes.]</i>
Minhyuk was the benefactor of Athenae Religion and its Saintess Royna. But even if that was the case, it was still not easy for him to borrow the Judge’s Dagger, one of the Athenae Religion’s treasures. In return for Athenae Religion allowing him to borrow their treasure, Minhyuk had promised that he woulde running to help them if they needed it.
“What the hell are you guys doing?!!! Kill this bastard!!! Quickly!!!”
The elder-level Demon Worshipers were people that had settled down all over the world. One of them, ck Sorcerer Vaernon made eye contact with the others and said, “Now that it hase to this, I think we can just capture that man alive and sacrifice him to Lord Verus.”
“He would be the perfect sacrifice for Lord Verus. After all, he’s the one that sealed him.”
However, there was one problem. The power and force of the guy that they would be up against was stronger than what they had expected. He was someone that had sealed the Great Demon Verus so it was only natural.
Then, Vaernon suddenly thought of a nasty trick, “I’ll put some mana shackles on him.”
Mana shackles was ck Sorcerer Vaernon’s specialty. It was a skill that allowed him to control his opponent’s mana and prevent them from using any of their skills. In other words, whether it was a magic or an active skill, it would be rendered useless as long as it required mana. ck Sorcerer Vaernon immediately shed the neck of one of the sheeps and sprinkled its blood on the ground and chanted. Then a red stream appeared and flew towards Minhyuk’s body. At that moment, a set of notifications rang in Minhyuk’s ears.
<i>[You have been restricted by ck Sorcerer Vaernon’s Mana Shackles.]</i>
<i>[You can’t physically break through ck Sorcerer Vaernon’s Mana Shackles.]</i>
<i>[You will not be able to use your active skills.]</i>
“…”
Minhyuk’s expression turned ugly at the notifications.
At the same time, the viewership ratings of A+TV had exceeded 45%. People from all over the world were busy talking on the inte.
<i>[The Food God was able to rush to where Akhan and the Demon Worshipers are but he was subjected to a ck sorcerer’s mana shackles.]</i>
<i>[ck Sorcerer Vaernon is an NPC that has a high reputation among all of the ck sorcerers. It’s safe to say that Food God Minhyuk has been very reckless in this matter.]</i>
<i>[Food God Minhyuk’s active skills has been restricted and he still has to deal with fourteen elders and Akhan.]</i>
And the rest of the viewers…
<i>[No matter how strong the Food God is, the situation that he is in right now is still bad. He’s too reckless.]</i>
<i>[GG. It’s better for him to run away. Haha.]</i>
While Minhyuk was busy trying to think of a way to get out of the situation and was vignt against his surroundings…
<i>Ring!</i>
<i>[<strong>Hidden Quest</strong>: Punish the Elder Demon Worshipers.]</i>
<i><strong>Rank</strong>: SSS</i>
<i><strong>Requirements</strong>: The One that received the Hidden Quest.</i>
<i><strong>Rewards</strong>: For every elder killed, you will gain +1 level and 100 tinum. You will receive ??? for killing all of the elders.</i>
<i><strong>Penalty for Failure</strong>: Death</i>
<i><strong>Description</strong>: You are ced in a dangerous predicament because of ck Sorcerer Vaernon. Despite being in this situation, punish the fourteen elders and block all of their senses and consciousness.</i>
<i>‘A level up and a hundred tinum per elder?’</i>
The rewards were extraordinary. But before he could even rejoice…
<i>Shwaaaaaaaaaa—</i>
…Minhyuk quickly turned around and tried to stab his sword on Akhan’s neck. However, an arrow immediately flew and hit the de of his sword, changing its trajectory.
<i>aaaaaaang!</i>
<i>‘They blocked my sword with an arrow?’</i>
Minhyuk’s attack speed was several times faster than the average ranker, but his sword was still stopped by an arrow. Then, the elders slowly began to narrow the distance between them and Minhyuk. One of the elders even went and used his magical attacks on Minhyuk.
<i>ng, ng ng ng ng, aaaaang—</i>
<i>Baaaaaaaaang—</i>
<i>Baaaaaaang—</i>
That elder’s magical power was equivalent to the magical power of a great mage. One hit and Minhyuk would definitely receive tremendous damage. However, amidst the bombardment of magic, the ughterer’s Armor’s ‘Asura’s Shield’ created a red shield around Minhyuk’s body.
<i>[Asura’s Shield has been triggered.]</i>
<i>[Asura’s Shield can defend with twice the defensepared to the attack.]</i>
“Ho?”
“What an interesting power?”
The elders giggled andughed. After all, Minhyuk, whose mana was sealed, just looked like a pitifulmb in their eyes.
“Lord Akhan, I’ll quickly deal and punish this man and save you.”
The bound Akhan felt relieved atst. He thought, <i>‘Moron.’</i>
All of the elders varied in terms of their specialties and sses. There were sword masters, great mages, the head of the ck sorcerers, and even a marquis of an empire.
‘<i>And that moron jumped into the fray without knowing that?</i>’
It was foolish. A full-fledged attack from the elders immediately followed.
<i>Shwaaaaaaaaaa—</i>
A gigantic arrow flew and shot Minhyuk’s shoulder while several sword strikes hit his body. The moment Minhyuk tried to run, ck Sorcerer Vaernon and the other mages used their magic and stopped him in his tracks.
<i>Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—</i>
“Ugh!”
Originally, Minhyuk could have used his ‘Like the Wind’ to escape but all of his active skills had been sealed.
<i>‘All of them are at the legendary level,’?</i>Minhyuk immediately reached a conclusion. Of course, they were not at Ghost Spear Ben’s level yet. However, the fact that they were opponents that Minhyuk could not easily ignore would remain the same.
“Keuhahahahahahahaha!”
“Are you watching over us, our Great Demon?! I will dedicate this guy and his life to you!”
Everyone turned to mocking Minhyuk in just an instant.
<i>Crackle—</i>
Minhyuk slowly walked through the mes created by the mages.
<i>[Tsk, tsk. Is that what I think it is? Why is he showing that false bravado and acting all confident while looking at everyone? The Food God is really a great actor.]</i>
<i>[The Food God is just one great m***erf**ker. Where did that figure when he pped Akhan earlier go? This just went to show that the Food God is overly dependent on his active skills.]</i>
The entire world thought that this was the perfect time to mock Minhyuk and make fun of him. Even Akhan thought so as well, relief washing over him, <i>‘That’s right. How dare you do this to me, you f*cking bastard? But I wonder why the support troops are noting inside?’</i>
There were more than two thousand necromancers and summoners that followed Akhan. They were those that imed to be Akhan’s fanatics, who followed and believed in him wholeheartedly. He had set them as support troops.
However, as Akhan watched Minhyuk walk through the mes, he heard him say, “Use 1 God SP. Level up the passive skill ‘Lightning’.”
<i>‘Did he just say God SP?!!!!’</i> Akhan was shocked.
What was a God SP?
Akhan had gained God SP once in his life after clearing a Pinnacle Quest. God SP was an amazing point that could increase skills that had reached the limit, and could level up any and all kinds of skills, whether they were active or passive. It was something incredibly hard toe by.
However, Akhan heard Minhyuk, who was still walking through the mes, say again, “Use 1 God SP. Level up the passive skill ‘Lightning’.”
At the same time, a shocking world message rang as a notification.
<i>[Anonymous, a God ss, is the first to seed in creating a passive skill that can be hailed as a ‘Secret’!!!]</i>
<i>[A new ‘Secret’, a power that is monopolized by the gods and NPCs, being born to the world deserves unreserved praise!!!]</i>
Everyone present held their breaths. As Minhyuk stepped out of the mes, he looked at his enemies coldly and spat out, “Level up the passive skill ‘Lightning’.”
<i>[Anonymous, a God ss, is the first to seed in creating a passive skill that can be hailed as an ‘Absolute God’s Secret’!!!]</i>
Everyone present at the scene were rendered speechless.
