55 Infinitely Refilling Lamb Meat
The one he had called Uncle Taesik, or the Great Mage of Fire, Ruth noticed that the voice sounded extremely familiar.
“Are you Minhyukie?”
Minhyuk nodded his head. He did not have to hide his identity from any of them. It was known within Ilhwa Group that Minhyuk was currently studying abroad. However, there were only a select few among them who knew that he had an illness. And the four people in front of him were trustworthy enough to know his identity.
‘As expected of my dad……’
He had lived his life wonderfully so it was only natural that his friends would come to his rescue. Perhaps they had come here because they learnt of the fact that he got PKed. He was sure that they must have thrown away their work to come and mete out their judgment.
“Hoo. So you were the famous Frying Pan Killer. What a surprise!”
“Aren’t uncles being the Four Hyenas much more surprising than that?”
The Four Hyenas were known to be comparable to the country’s top 20 ranked players. Their levels might not be as high as those people who were on the top 20 but their entire bodies were covered with artifacts that the difference was almost negligible. Originally, they were people who only enjoyed going on hunts. They had never officially appeared and shown themselves to the public and they had no friction against any guilds.
But right now, they willingly interfered with my dad’s business.
“The Four Hyenas. Right now, are you trying to be in a guild war against Bachran Guild?”
Kielt, who was just watching the situation, warned them. No matter how strong the Four Hyenas were, they were still no match against their numbers.
And Noddugi’s Bez, cracked his knuckles as he looked at him and said……
“War? We’re going to slaughter you though?”
Kielt frowned when he heard his provocation.
“Your reason?”
“You touched someone you shouldn’t have touched.”
“......”
Kielt tried his hardest to think of who they were talking about but no one came to mind.
“Then there’s only war.”
Kielt swung his sword immediately.
Shwaaaaa!
His sword extended like a whip and aimed at the Four Hyenas.
“Woah, woah.”
He was a magic swordsman so it was only natural that he had plenty of magic spells that would accompany his good swordsmanship.
“First……”
Then, Bez jumped off of the building. He landed swiftly on the ground in front of them.
“Let’s deal with these guys before we talk.”
***
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Kaistra immediately fell back to avoid the magics and arrows that were raining down on him.
Slash!
The neck of the Anubis that was running straight at him with a huge axe splitted off of its body with just a slash of his scimitar.
“Waaaaaa!”
“Kill them! Kill Legend and they’ll definitely drop good items!”
The enemies finally began to enter their territory. Genie, Kaistra and Locke all kept getting pushed back.
“Why aren’t those kids coming?”
Locke frowned.
“Today’s the day that they were going to play football, you know.”
“Football can’t be better than this, right?”
“......”
Kaistra quietly checked Penrus’ condition. Even if Kaistra and Penrus were strong it was still not easy for them to handle the throngs of Anubis and the crowd of users that were coming in. But their biggest problem was Pharaoh. His mana would continue to rise if he kept on summoning the Anubis.
‘Damned ability.’
In other words, his summoning could be maintained to a certain extent once the mana supply was supported.
Slash!
The moment he slashed through another Anubis’ neck……
Shwaaaa!
Vwooooong!
Kaistra frowned as he saw two giant lions falling down from the air.
Dash!
Penrus moved at a ferocious speed to block their attacks.
Clang!
Kaistra moved through the window of the gap that he saw. But all that his strike had produced was a spark.
‘Their defenses are high!’
“Graaaaaaaa!”
One of the lions stamped down as it tried to trample on Penrus.
Tap!
With just a quick tap, Penrus had evaded the attack.
“Kyaa!”
“Genie!”
At that moment, Genie, who was behind them, had mistakenly allowed an Anubis to land an attack on her. The troops that were on the forefront rained down arrows and magic on Locke and Genie.
Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh!
Shwaaaa!
The sky turned dark as arrows poured down from above together with a variety of magical attacks.
‘What about Penrus’ MP?’
Penrus’ MP was not infinite. He could offset the magical attacks that were coming their way but he would not be able to use ‘Acceleration’ to speed up his movements.
At that moment……
Shweeeeeeek!
A spinning spear flew in. The spear that was rotating rapidly sucked in the arrows and the magical attacks that were flying in the air.
Crack, crack, crack!
The incoming attacks were all wiped out mid-air. Then, the spear flew back from where it came from. When they turned around to follow the spear, they could see Old Man Ben as well as the Spear Masters. It seemed like they had finally arrived. And the frightened troops finally began to move.
Dash!
The Spear Masters quickly ran as fast as they could.
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab!
The spears of the Spear Masters flashed and in a blink of an eye they had already stabbed straight through the Anubis that were rushing inside!
“......That’s crazy.”
Genie was caught in surprise. Then, Ben walked with one of his hands behind his back through the gaps of the enemies. He even easily stabbed through the neck of one of the users who rushed at him.
“Damn. Bastards. With just these skills?”
Then he stabbed his spear straight through a user and an Anubis in front of him.
[Dance of the Ghosts]
[The Ghost Spear dances freely as it tramples upon its enemies.]
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab!
“Keheook?!”
“Heok!”
“Keuaaaaaack!”
The users collapsed as the Anubis’ disappeared and grayed out.
“Team 1. Forward!”
One of the Spear Masters shouted as the troops that were initially scattered began to move in unison.
Vwoooong!
“I’ll take on one of those punks too.”
Ben came in front of one of the giant lions. He looked so tiny in front of it that it seemed like he would easily be pushed back but he wasn’t pushed back at all.
But at that moment, the jeweled staff in the hands of Pharaoh suddenly shone brightly.
[Pharaoh’s Blessings]
[Anubis’ abilities will increase by 30%.]
The incoming Anubis’ immediately became ferocious. At the same time.
Bang! Bang, bang, bang!
Six more giant lions appeared.
“Damn!”
The lions ran at a speed that was almost close to being violent. And every time one of the lions collided and slammed against a building, the building would collapse. It would be over if they broke inside the territory.
Just then, Ace and Crow arrived.
“Hihihihing!”
The Hell Horse that Fire Fist Ace had summoned ran fiercely as it pushed away one of the lions.
“Keuaaack!”
The giant lion roared at the hell horse.
Crackle!
And Ace, who suddenly disappeared in flames, appeared on top of the hell horse.
“Noona, we’re here!”
“You should have come sooner!”
“The other guys will also be accessing soon!”
Crow shouted loudly. And along with his shout, several of the guild members accessed the game including Ascar, the goddess of the battlefield.
Ascar, with a cold and frosty expression, just quietly took on a lion all by herself. But the lions had extremely high defenses so Ascar couldn’t penetrate through the skin.
“Yo! Guys! We won the football game today!”
“Kyaa! You should have seen the ceremony when I scored!”
“Do you want me to beat you as a ceremony?”
“......”
The guild members were starting to arrive one after another.
And Pharaoh who saw such a scene narrowed his eyes sharply.
***
The Pharaoh’s Envoy was just waiting for the guild members of Legend Guild to finally gather. He only had as short as half an hour to summon Baphomet. However, if he summoned Baphomet, then he would not be pushed back by Penrus who had not yet achieved his full maturity. In addition, Baphomet could easily turn the tides of the war since he had a plethora of wide-area magic including a variety of magical abilities. But Baphomet was not Pharaoh’s summon, he was just borrowing Baphomet temporarily. He would even have a permanent -5 decrease in all his stats as a penalty for summoning him.
“You bastards! How dare you!”
“Keuhahaha! Why are you guys so late?! I’ll hit you later!”
The members of Legend Guild who had accessed the game had systematically divided themselves to attack the Bachran Guild members, the Anubis’ and the lions.
‘The lions might not be too aggressive but their defenses are too high for them to kill.’
A strange smile hung loosely around Pharaoh’s mouth. And just as he thought, Legend was truly a legend. They were only that number but they could easily put pressure against the members of Bachran Guild.
“Keuaaack!”
“A, aaaack!”
“These bastards are stronger than what we thought!”
Wherever each of them passed through, members of Bachran Guild would collapse. Such a tight and nerve wracking game went on for quite some time.
Then, Penrus stepped on the air in an instant.
‘Since I’m free, why don’t I kill you first?’
Kaistra was an extremely clever boy. Since the other guild members were taking over the lions that he was dealing with before he could now take a breather. However, he keenly sensed danger.
‘He hasn’t shown us everything yet.’
And just as Penrus was trying to narrow the distance between them while hunting down the enemies that were on his way, Pharaoh’s staff suddenly flashed a blinding black light. The black light pierced straight through the sky and covered it in darkness. Then, a presence slowly emerged from the darkness.
The creature was black all over and had the face of a sheep, the upper body of a muscular man and the lower body that was similar to a horse. It also had a staff on its hand like a real Pharaoh.
The members of Legend Guild who were dealing with the members of Bachran guild as well as the lions stopped in their tracks as they turned to look at the presence.
“W, what the hell is that?”
“De, demonic monster?!”
[The Demon World’s 7th Demonic Monster, Baphomet has appeared!]
[Pharaoh is not Baphomet’s Attributed Summoner.]
[If you’re able to successfully hunt Baphomet, you will be the first to receive the Demon World’s Rewards.]
Then Baphomet howled loudly as black energy burst out of its staff. The black energy encircled the members of Legend Guild as well as the forces affiliated with them.
“Eumeeeeeeeee!”
[The Demonic Monster’s Curse.]
[Your Physical Attack has been reduced by 40%.]
[Your Physical Defense has been reduced by 40%.]
[Your Magical Attack has been reduced by 40%.]
[Your Magical Defense has been reduced by 40%.]
[Your skills’ cooldown duration has increased by 20%.]
“S, shit……!”
“Wh, what?!”
It was an extreme debuff.
Then, dozens of magical attacks began to emerge around Baphomet.
“......!”
“......!”
Baphomet was a demonic monster but it was also an existence that had great command on magic.
The biggest problem would be Baphomet’s debuff that decreased both their physical and magical defenses by 40%. They knew that it would be over once they allowed just one of those magical attacks to graze them.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Dozens of magical attacks poured down and attacked the scattered members of Legend Guild and their troops.
***
Count Calvat was one of the Lords that owned a territory and he was managing the Iphas Territory in the south. He was currently riding a carriage together with his aide, Jake.
“An invitation to dinner together with a warrant, what’s going on?”
A warrant. The Lords of each territory were allowed to send applications for a warrant to the Imperial Palace. Of course they also had the authority to send warrants within their own territory. However, the fact that the warrant came from the Imperial Palace meant that this literally could affect the entire empire.
Count Calvat was the nobility who had a secret relationship with Black Stone.
Athenae was a game. So one would wonder why an NPC had a secret relationship with a group that was created by foreigners, right? It was a feat that was unimaginable to others but what if Black Stone gave them enough money to buy dozens of mansions in every transaction? And what if they offered them huge amounts of bribes each time they contacted? Since NPCs had a high degree of freedom, there were bound to be greedy nobles that did not want to suffer.
And as they maintained such a high degree of confidentiality and trust, Pharaoh had told him to put a warrant. It was a warrant for the Frying Pan Killer. The reason for the warrant? Since he made it, then that was it.
‘There’s no way to confirm it since the palace is always busy, after all.’
Will the palace even find out about it?
But instead of castigating him, they even sent a servant to inquire about the condition and how Count Calvat was. After all, they knew that the Emperor was just like a puppet to them. This was the reason why Count Calvat just carelessly replied to them.
“From now on, wouldn’t they recognize me as the leader of Eivelis Empire?”
“......Hm.”
However, unlike his carefree attitude, Jake felt a foreboding sense of crisis. Then, just like that, the carriage arrived in front of the palace.
Ruth, the Empress’ personal aide, guided their way forward.
“It seems like Her Highness, the Empress, truly prepared a dinner for me. I feel so flattered. I’m looking forward to it.”
“It’s good if you’re looking forward to it.”
When he heard Ruth’s word, Count Calvat thought that his ‘title’ would be promoted. Then, the door to the dining hall opened.
Creaaaaaak─
Count Calvat’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw the inside of the hall. Ellie, who was slicing her steak with her fork and knife, had a frosty expression on her face. There were three nobles beside her that were trembling wildly as they followed the ‘buried head’ posture.
At that moment, the corner of Ellie’s mouth curled up coldly as she threw a bunch of papers in front of him.
“Let’s start with burying your head.”
***
TL’s corner!
It seems like Ben and Ellie will work well together. They like punishing misbehaving kids by using the buried head position. Kek.
