Chapter 456: Verus vs. Let’s Eat Sect
“I don’t think it will be possible to hunt Verus but…”
In the first place, all of them here had expected that all of the episodes that included Great Demon Verus would be unattainable and endless. There was also the fact that he should not have descended at this point in time, and that he was almost twice as powerful as he was before. All of them believed that it would be very hard to cut him down regardless of time.
However, on the off chance that they succeeded in sealing Verus in this situation, what would happen?
The rewards that a player could obtain was entirely dependent on the strength of the monster that they fought against. Hunting a chicken in the novice hunting grounds would give them one gold, while hunting a monster in a higher-leveled hunting ground would give at least a million gold in one go.
If that was the case, what rewards would drop if the one they hunted was Great Demon Verus?
The answer to that would obviously be ridiculous rewards. In fact, the demon’s treasures that Minhyuk had acquired earlier from sealing the three demons were already ridiculous enough. Verus’ rewards would be on an entirely different level from that.
There were two key rewards that would drop if they successfully hunted Verus. One was the ‘Great Demon’s All Creation Production Book’, and the other was ‘God’s Ore Vlad’.
The Great Demon’s All Creation Production Book was an item that could create anything that its user desired. It did not matter if it was an artifact, a cooking ingredient, a potion or even a skill, as long as it was what the user desired, then it would be made. Of course, anything outrageous was out of the question.
For example, if the user wanted a sword that could cut down all of the players present in one swing, then the All Creation Production Book could either reject the desire, or remove the user’s right to use the book. Still, even if they faced restrictions like that, the Great Demon’s All Creation Production Book had a wide range of the items that it could accept. In fact, the items that it could produce could even reach up to the ‘God’ rank. In other words, the person that would get this item would be able to get their hands on amazing items.
The executives of Athenae could accept it if a player other than Minhyuk received this All Creation Production Book. This was because Minhyuk was the only player to have a ‘God’ rank artifact with him. If this book landed in his hands, he would most definitely have two God-rank artifacts with him. And once that happened, then…
‘This will most probably be the cause for the balance to break…’
Athenae was famous for being a well-balanced game. They had God classes and secret classes, but even players with ordinary classes could exert far stronger power than these classes, as long as they had excellent gamer skills. But, judging from how things were going, it seemed like they would now experience their very first balance break.
And it was all thanks to Player Minhyuk’s power.
There was also the other reward, the God’s Ore Vlad. It was an ore that was supposed to be obtained only after hunting all of the gods. However, was this a feat that someone could truly achieve? Of course not. That was completely ridiculous.
But now, it would most likely make its appearance. This ore had the power of strengthening. And among all types of strengthening stones, God’s Ore Vlad had reached the peak. A successful +1 strengthening with this ore would be able to give an artifact a tremendous boost in power. The more shocking part was the fact that God’s Ore Vlad could strengthen an artifact from +1~+5.
‘If he succeeds in strengthening the Continent Destroyer Sword by +3 or more then…’
The Continent Destroyer Sword would become even more powerful, and it might even become the best, and the strongest, sword in the history of Athenae.
On the screen, Great Demon Verus once again started his bombing spree.
***
At this moment, all of the viewers had turned their attention to the people, including Minhyuk, that flew up to stop Verus. This was because this attack would determine what the future would hold for them. Let’s Eat Sect was facing two paths, either destruction or the sealing of Great Demon Verus.
Meanwhile, the Absolute Supreme NPC Ellie, who was looking at everything sharply through her helmet, used the Overlord’s Swordsmanship’s Final Chapter, Dragon and Lion’s Roar.
[Dragon and Lion’s Roar.]
[The Dragon’s Roar will allow you to pinpoint one target and force them to go under a stunned state and drop their defensive power by 50% for three seconds, regardless if they are stronger than you or not.]
[The Lion’s Roar will allow you to instantly hit your target enemy with 5,000% additional damage.]
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiing—
Ellie’s sword rang loudly and clearly as if it was roaring. And with that roar, Great Demon Verus fell into a stunned state.
[This… impossible…!]
Great Demon Verus looked at the people that leapt in the sky with their AOE attack skills. The seventh ranked demon Amon’s special attribute had the power to destroy and devastate everything around the attribute user.
However before he could even use it, Ellie had already dealt her hand first. This meant that she saw through him. Even with his ‘Submission Attribute’, which allowed him to subdue any abnormal state or condition, he could not release himself from the stun. Then…
Roaaaaaaaaaaaaar!
…as if a lion was roaring loudly, her sword flew towards Verus.
Slaaaaaash!
[Keuhaaaaaaaaaaaack!]
Verus was appalled when he saw his HP drop significantly. But it did not end there.
“Goddamnit!”
Ghost Spear Ben, with his white hair and eyes, flew out once again. His hair fluttered wildly behind him after the strings that tied it broke loose.
[Ghost Spearmanship Chapter 5. Exploding Spear.]
The tip of his spear that was covered with a black energy rotated fiercely as it pierced through Great Demon Verus’ abdomen.
Crack, crack, crack, crack—
Finally, his spear that stuck deeply in Verus’ abdomen exploded.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—
[Keuaaaaaaaaack!]
Paladin Corr was a holy knight, a class that came to be to save the world from the great demons, the Demon World, and the undead. He was showing the world that he was a true and genuine holy knight worthy of being the leader of Talmor Religion.
[Sacred Sword.]
[The sword blessed by God Athenae. It sends hundreds of swords to attack the enemy.]
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—
And right next to him, Conir cast his skill, Wailing Child.
Baaaaaaaaaang—
A strong force was released from Conir’s sword.
“This is the story of the heroes that hunted the Great Demon Verus! It was a battle for life! After the battle ended, among the heroes, the woman Angel and the knight Corin spent the night together, drinking until they were dizzy and baring their hearts out for each other. They even spent a hot night together and… it was not just the bed that creaked loudly! Even the ground trembled and shook, thump, thump, thump!!!”
[…!!!]
Amidst the fierce attacks, a fierce and hot story suddenly rang in Great Demon Verus’ ears! When Verus turned his head to look at the direction of the sound, Aruvel’s ‘Exploding Spear’ was already right at his nose.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The attack devoured Verus. Let’s Eat Sect’s Sword, Brod, stepped forward and leapt in the air and cast an AOE skill. His skill, Continent Destroyer, immediately appeared in front of Great Demon Verus.
Slaaaaaaaaaaash—
Because of Verus’ high defense, he was able to prevent the sword from piercing through his body. However, he could not do anything against the fierce shockwave that set off inside him.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Immediately after, the man called the Lesser Demon cut down the Great Demon. Elpis drew his sword out, and used the Devil Judge’s ‘Quick Draw’, the skill that added 2,500% attack to his sword.
Shwiiiiiiiiiiiiik—
Cuts appeared all over Verus’ body.
Verus, who saw the sliver of HP left in him, never dreamt that humans would be able to push him to this extent. However, he knew that he would be able to kill everyone and go back safely to the Demon World as long as this bout of attacks failed.
Alas, before he could rejoice, he saw Elpis turn around, only to reveal Minhyuk with his Sword of Absolute Death that he had stored with his ‘Save’ skill, ready to pounce on him.
Minhyuk was able to use his Sword of Absolute Death twice in a row earlier, thanks to his buffed dishes’ effects that overlapped with his ‘Overlapping Delight’ skill.
But this time, the Sword of Absolute Death that he used was the one that he had ‘saved’ and was completely unrelated to the buff effects. And with the additional 500% attack power added on Minhyuk’s basic attack power, his attack was able to strike down and pierce through Verus’ body.
Thud—
[Keuhaaaaaaaaack?!]
Verus suddenly felt a sense of urgency, but his damned body could not move. All he could do was watch the hundreds of swords rushing towards him.
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—
Right now, Minhyuk’s power was so strong that he could even log out a fairly decent ranker with a single blow. It did not matter if Verus boasted strong regenerative abilities, this attack was still too much for him especially after his defense had been halved by Ellie’s Dragon’s Roar.
[Keuaaaaaaack! Aaaaaaaaack!]
The entire world watched as the great demon screamed from the attacks of a single player and several Named NPCs.
Verus, who was driven to the verge of death after Minhyuk’s Sword of Absolute Death ended, felt that he was very fortunate to survive. Since the attack had ended, his body would now be able to breathe and regenerate quickly. He only needed 0.1 second to refill his HP and pressure them once again. However, his dreams had been shattered when he saw Minhyuk appearing in front of him again.
The word Explosion engraved on Minhyuk’s Continent Destroyer Sword disappeared and was replaced with the word Destruction. This word gave him a 15% chance of triggering eight bloody lightning strikes with 800% damage upon usage. With Minhyuk’s additional 500% attack power, the damage that it would deal would be tremendous.
Of course, this was depending on if he got lucky and triggered that 15% chance.
Verus’ pupils dilated when he saw Minhyuk raise his arm up.
[N… nooooooo!!!]
Minhyuk’s silver eyes glinted sharply as he said, “Go back to your revolting Demon World!”
Slaaaaaaaaash!
Fortunately, Lightning’s ‘Destruction’ was triggered along with his sword strike.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Eight bloody lightning strikes struck down from the skies and fell down on Verus. Not long after, the body of Great Demon Verus turned into black demonic energy and scattered in the area.
[Kiheeeeeeeeeeeck!]
A monstrous cry rang loudly in the area as black demonic energy spread all over the entire Asgan Continent. Then, the black demonic energy soared into the skies before disappearing into nothingness, as if the demonic energy did not exist at all.
[You have successfully sealed Great Demon Verus!]
[Verus, who forced his descent to earth using the Letters of Disaster, will be sealed for eight months.]
[The Absolute Gods are very surprised to see your success!]
[The Absolute Gods are giving you a huge reward.]
[All of your stats have increased by 3%.]
[You have acquired a ‘map’ pointing to the place where an Absolute God’s Secret is being hidden.]
After those notifications, the notifications regarding Great Demon Verus’ hunt immediately rang.
[The guild’s gold and artifact will be distributed by Guild Master ‘Minhyuk’.]
[You have acquired the reward for successfully sealing Great Demon Verus.]
[You have acquired 6,000,000,000 EXP!]
[Due to Overlapping Delight’s special effect, the EXP that you have gained has doubled.]
[You have acquired an additional 6,000,000,000 EXP!]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled…omitted.]
Minhyuk received as many as seven level ups. Then, another set of notifications rang again.
[You have gained 10,766 Platinum.]
[You have acquired Great Demon Verus’ Demon Summoning Ring.]
[You have acquired Great Demon Verus’ Mask.]
[You have acquired three God’s Ore Vlad.]
[You have acquired the Great Demon’s All Creation Production Book.]
[You have acquired fifty three Demon World’s Hidden Identity Decrees.]
[You have acquired the map of the Demon World’s Artifact Treasure.]
[You have acquired the map of the Demon World’s Trainers Island, ‘Slaughterer’.]
[…Great Demon Verus’ worn and tattered dual blades.]
[…Demon’s Bow.]
[…Demon’s Sword of Carnage.]
After Great Demon Verus was sealed, the people who had jumped up to attack Verus earlier, all fell down on the ground, one after another. They all laid down on the ground, gasping for their breaths. It seemed like they had lost all of their strength and could not move a muscle at all.
‘I never thought that I\'d be able to participate in the sealing of the Great Demon,’ The Dragon King and Gorn had faint smiles on their faces as they thought about the same thing.
Meanwhile, the members of Let’s Eat Sect were all smiling brightly. This was because they knew that they had taken a step forward in seizing even greater power. All of them, even the cameras, were looking at only one person and one person alone. They zoomed in on Elpis, who was smiling brightly as he looked at them gratefully.
***
At the same time.
Sword God Valen and his wife, Roina, who were both working as instructors and were considered as Isbin Village’s specialties, had already arrived near Valhalla Fortress. In case they died, they had already left their wills to the villagers back home.
‘It’s time for us to reveal the true extent of our powers. We’re very grateful to you all this time.’
‘Me and my husband might not be able to come back alive. If something happens to us, please take care of our child.’
‘I believe it’s time for us to step forward and help save the world.’
‘The great demon… We want to quickly seal him up and save everyone. Please don’t try to hold us back.’
Valen and Roina both ran as fast as they could, but were left speechless when they saw Great Demon Verus getting sealed.
Perhaps, the villagers see them as a pair of fools that dreamt of sealing the demon king. After all, how could an ordinary couple like them suddenly say that they would deal with the Great Demon and save the world, right?! But now, they did not even manage to do anything?!
Wouldn’t that make them like those couples that were commonly seen in fantasy novels?!
Valen stared blankly at Minhyuk while scratching the back of his head and saying, “Wh… what’s our dinner for today, Roina?”
“W… well…”
The two of them looked at a figure in the distance. They were obviously glad that Minhyuk was able to seal Verus. But…
“Sigh…”
“Sigh… When should we go back home…”
…a huge sigh still came out involuntarily.
