Leveling Up Through Eating

PR: MattForgenti

“Get up.”

“Get up!”

The Spear Masters who had their heads on the ground slowly stood up.

Meanwhile, one of the assassins, Lepper, had his eyes grow the size of a saucer when he saw the man standing in front of him. He was the leader of the Spear Masters of Bosdyn Kingdom. And his level was way higher than his at Lv460!

‘Wh, what the hell?’

He felt so flustered with what he saw.

“Let’s see how far your skills have improved, you damn weaklings!”

‘We, weaklings?’

The leader of Bosdyin Kingdom’s spear masters? Is he bluffing? No, I don’t think so.

At that moment, the leader of Bosdyn Kingdom’s Spear Masters, Bren, bowed his head politely.

“I’ll show my skills in front of Legendary Ghost Spear Ben, please guide me!”

The old man put his hands behind his back as he nodded at him.

Then……

Shwaaaaaaaaak!

A barrage of spears shot out from him and struck all over the place at a speed that couldn’t be followed by the naked eye.

“Keop!”

“Ugh!”

“Keokeok!”

It was just 3 seconds. Within 3 seconds all five of the assassins were forced to log out.

Then, Ben with one hand on his back and one hand holding his spear went out leisurely. His sight was suddenly filled with the surrounding enemies.

“Did you lay a hand on my Lord’s territory?”

Ben gritted his teeth in anger. Then, he addressed the spear masters behind him.

“Bren. Command the knights. Freud, go and evacuate the people. Brody, you…… and Zank, Coro and Bendry. Come with me and hunt the enemies.”

In the past, Ghost Spear Ben had led 50,000 troops that consisted entirely of Spear Masters. They went on a monster expedition and came back as legends. He was a complete veteran when it comes to commanding and charisma.

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The Spear Masters just came to greet and meet with Ben but they unexpectedly got on a hunt.

And Zank who was with them……

‘Keuhaha! I don’t have to practice serving today! It’s good timing for me!’

He was filled with great enthusiasm and excitement.

Crone also had a small territory at the edges of Eivelis Empire. It was a very small territory but he believed that it would be very different from now on. He was sure that with the huge amount of money that he had received from Callauhel would only bring him higher and higher from now on.

As soon as he heard that the guild members were already almost at Valhalla Territory, he had warned Genie about the ‘guild war’. And within a few seconds, the 2nd legion from here would arrive in that place via mass teleportation scroll. A mass teleportation scroll cost about 30 platinum each.

But all the money that I spent here will be refunded once I charge Callauhel, so where else should I spend this money on?

At that moment……

[Pharaoh: Crone. The Envoy of Incarnation is here right now.]

‘Hmm?’

Crone tilted his head in thought when he saw his words.

‘......!’

‘Perhaps the Envoy of Incarnation Kaistra had received instructions from Callauhel━’ this was what he thought.

‘Then, this is going to be easy.’

Crone laughed heartily. Kaistra who could summon Penrus was still not a fully grown man yet. However, Kaistra was still the number 1 in the unofficial domestic rankings. If such a person was added into the mix then the outcome of Legend Guild was clear.

At that exact same moment……

[Pharaoh: Kaistra is on Legend Guild’s side.]

Crone jumped up as his eyes widened in shock.

‘Wh, what……?’

Kaistra? How come? Why did he take Legend Guild’s side?

It was completely incomprehensible to him. Kaistra was definitely one of the best members of Black Stone in the country and was considered to be the figurehead of the organization in Korea. In addition, Kaistra was the person that had the most conversation with Callauhel in the country.

Is Kaistra unaware of the horror of Callauhel and his ways?

Callauhel was a man who would do anything he wanted. One could even surmise that just by having one huge guild and one God Class player playing under his fingertips.

However, not long after, Crone laughed.

Legend Guild was still less than 20 people.

Didn’t they say that the Vice Lord of Valhalla was also a senile old man?

This meant that the troops would not be able to move systematically. In addition, the guild members were still yet to start a full-fledged war since the 2nd legion was still undeployed. The second legion was the support. They would be supporting Pharaoh from the back with magics and arrows. Their numbers were close to 300 and even if Kaistra was on their side, they would still clearly win.

‘This is my chance.’

Yes. This is for the best.

If he beat Kaistra then from now on, he would be able to receive Callauhel’s trust and confidence!

Then, at that moment……

[Guild Chatting: Carn-nim has been forced to log out.]

[Guild Chatting: Lepper-nim has been forced to log out.]

[Guild Chatting: Kyokyo-nim has been forced to log out.]

[Guild Chatting: Barad-nim has been forced to log out.]

“What’s happening?”

The people that were forced to log out were the people that he had sent to assassinate the Vice Lord. Carn, who previously confirmed the capabilities of the Vice Lord, as well as the other assassins were all around Lv400. But everyone had died together within 3 seconds.

At the same time, Carn, who was currently back in real life, had sent a whisper.

[Carn: GM-nim. We’re in trouble!]

[Crone: What’s happening?]

[Carn: That old man…… The crazy Vice Lord…… He’s extremely strong. He treats the leader of a kingdom’s Spear Masters as a child. And, I was forced to log out just by a single pair of chopsticks.]

“......?”

Crone frowned when he read his whisper.

‘Chopsticks?’

What kind of bullshit is this guy saying? You were forced to log out with just chopsticks?

[Carn: That old man’s name is Ben. The others called him as ‘Legend Ben’. ]

Crone went and asked one of his attack captains. He knew that Beoro was a spearman at Lv416.

“Beoro. Do you know someone called ‘Legend Ben’?”

“Ben? I know him. He is the idol and the father of all the spearmen. And his spearmanship is the basis for all of the spear arts in Athenae.”

“......”

Crone was left speechless. He did not know why things were going this way.

“Is he strong?”

“Very strong.”

“......Compared to you, how strong is he?”

“Even if there were 10 of me, it will still be hard to beat him.”

Crone’s eyes widened in shock.

Ten Beoro’s, one of my attack captains, still can’t win against him?

He sighed ruefully. However, he still shook his head.

‘But what can they do in front of our numbers?’

Just looking around this place, there were around 40 people. If he led them well, then their victory would definitely be secured. Especially with Pharaoh. It would not be impossible especially if he summoned Baphomet.

Then……

Keuhaaaaaack!

They could hear an indescribable sound from somewhere. Crone turned his head towards the origin of the sound. He could see a man standing from a building.

The man had a greatsword on his hand while his head was covered with a rugged and shabby-looking helmet. And on his shoulder, there was a mysterious baby pig wearing a silver pot on its head while holding a spatula and pot lid on its hands.

‘Who the hell is that punk?’

He thought about those things but when he turned around to look at where the sound came from……

“Heok!!”

“W, what’s that?!”

“Ma, mages! Dispel! Dispel!”

The Bachran Guild Members could see a huge shadow hanging over them. The sound that they heard earlier was none other than a huge tidal wave. There was a 7m tall tidal wave that was rushing towards them.

[Dispel.]

[Nullifies magic attacks.]

The captain of Bachran Guild’s mages, Ken, stepped forward and raised his hand. The wand that was in his hand shone brightly. However, the rest of the people were shocked when they heard Ken gasp in shock.

[The magic cannot be nullified.]

“What…...?”

Ken’s brows frowned.

Not long after, the huge tidal wave engulfed all of them.

Puhaaaaaaaak!

[Minhyuk: Genie-yah?]

Minhyuk felt it was strange when he lost contact with her after sending her a whisper. And along with his whisper, the guild chatting window suddenly went wild.

Bachran Guild made the first move?

They took advantage and made use of Ace and Crow. As he walked along, he was able to reach a small village.

‘Dad.’

Just thinking about those three letters made his heart ache. When one thought about it, children around Minhyuk’s age were the kids who started seeing the backs of their fathers slowly getting smaller since they were all getting taller and stronger. Whenever they saw their fathers like that, they felt that their hearts were breaking.

But for Minhyuk, his father’s back was always wide and big. He always felt safe and secure knowing that he had someone who believed in him and had his back. But perhaps, that wasn’t always the case.

‘It’s because my Dad doesn’t want to show me his weaknesses.’

Minhyuk’s dad was the only person that he could trust. His mother had already died and the only pillar that could support him was his father. In front of him, his father had always been tough and strong. But back then, when he heard his father telling that story from in front of the door, he could see him looking pitiful and sad.

His dad was silently running in front of him and he had always hid behind his father’s back. He believed that his father’s back would always be wide and big. So he thought……

Let’s be the one who can protect my dad in this place.

Minhyuk went inside. The territory in and on itself felt like it was no different from a barren land. There were also only a few of the villagers too. And this place right now was Bachran Guild’s current hideout. He easily found this place since their information was readily available.

Don’t you think that what they did was too much?

Then, the whispers from Genie came again.

[Genie: Bachran Guild suddenly started an attack. More importantly, Kaistra…… Why is he so strong?]

[Minhyuk: He has always been strong.]

[Genie: You should have told me that from the beginning!]

[Minhyuk: You grabbed my collar at that time……!]

[Genie: ……]

[Minhyuk: More importantly, Genie.]

[Genie: Huh?]

[Minhyuk: Can I kill them to my heart’s content now?]

[Genie: Where are you?]

[Minhyuk: I was going to finish my business here quickly before going to Valhalla. I have just arrived.]

Minhyuk laughed. He would make the Bachran Guild bow down and apologize before killing them. He would let the whole territory know about the truth today. Once Genie answered him, he would immediately attack.

He quietly moved through the territory. Not long after, he could see over 30 users gathered in front of a large house. Minhyuk climbed on top of a building and looked down on them. He could see one user in front of them.

‘He’s the master.’

His expression was changing every moment as if he had heard something from his whispers.

Meanwhile, Minhyuk took out a ring and wore it on his fingers. It was the ‘Roves’ Ring’ that he had received when he successfully hunted the Clam Golem.

(Roves’ Ring)

Rank: Epic

Restrictions: 500 Holy Power

Durability: 4,000 / 4,000

Defensive Power: 108

Special Abilities:

━ Skill: Roves’ Wave

━ Skill: Roves’ Repentance

Roves’ Wave was an ability that could allow him to create and use a massive 7m-high tidal wave every two weeks. Surprisingly, the tidal wave could not be affected by any dispel or magical reflection. And Repentance? It was a tremendous skill that could eliminate his Chaotic state, even if he became full chaotic, once every five months of game time.

[Ellie’s Swordsmanship]

[All stats will have a 22% increase for 9 minutes.]

[Evasion rate has increased by 30%.]

[Fatal Strikes rate has increased by 30%.]

Then, Minhyuk summoned Kongie and placed him on his shoulders. After receiving Kongie’s buffs, he looked at them coldly.

“Oink?”

[Kongie is curious.]

Minhyuk looked at Kongie on his shoulders. Kongie could feel some of Minhyuk’s anger since they could share a fraction of their feelings with each other.

“Let’s fight properly today, Kong-ah.”

“Oink!”

Then, Minhyuk rubbed Roves’ Ring on his finger.

[Roves’ Wave]

[A 7m-high tidal wave will engulf and devour all of your enemies. This cannot be nullified.]

Suhwaaaaaaaaak!

The tidal wave rose from the ground and began to grow in size. The tidal wave moved quickly towards where the guild members of Bachran Guild were.

***

TL’s corner!

Uh-huh. Let’s go and devour the blood of your enemies and feed Kongie!!!
