Leveling Up through Eating

Chapter 126: Reunion

Translator: ChubbyCheeks

PR: MattForgenti

Locke and Genie made eye contact.

It was fortunate that Minhyuk was not forced to log out. However, he was bleeding all over and he even vomited blood as if his HP had run out with just a single attack.

What kind of happy reunion is this?

“Khan, Ace. Lead three of our guild members to deal with the rest of Ares Guild.”

“OK!”

As soon as he answered, Khan rushed forward to strike at Ares who was still trying to raise himself up.

“And for the rest of the guild members.”

Genie finally gave an order.

“Let’s start hunting this Boss Mob.”

“Yes!”

“Roger, flower piggy!”

“Let’s go! Flower piggy! Like a lightning bolt!”

Some of the guild members were looking at Rumad with playful expressions on their faces but all of them were hiding their nervousness deep inside. The only reason was because they had been subjected to “Extreme Fear” as soon as they arrived in this place.

What was more surprising was…

‘The Frying Pan Killer… In just one hit…’

It was a tremendous power indeed.

Genie’s eyes met with the spearman, Crow.

Nod━

Most of the members of Legend Guild had known each other since Versal. There were even plenty of foreigners among them. They purposely came to Korea to find Genie and play games together. These people who had worked together for quite a long time showed off their teamwork.

Crow stomped on the ground as his spear aimed towards Rumad.

Vwooooong!

The spear thrust was so powerful that it sounded like the space was being ripped!

[Spear Pistol!]

[A powerful strike that penetrates the enemy’s vital point!]

Fwooooooosh!

A powerful force flew out of the spear like a bullet fired from a gun.

Rumad easily blocked the force with his greatsword and ran towards him with his huge body.

‘Fast……!’

Contrary to his size, Rumad was extremely fast. Genie quickly launched an attack in an attempt to slow him down.

Shwaa!

Shwaaaaaa!

“Annoying pest!”

Rumad grinned darkly as he quickly evaded the whip and grabbed it with his bare hands.

At that moment…

Hoooooong!

Genie’s body was dragged by the whip. Her body swayed and flew in the air. Rumad quickly dragged the whip down as he aimed his greatsword towards the falling Genie.

At that moment, the Goddess of the Battlefield, Ascar, moved. Her silver bobbed hair moved with the wind as she gripped both of her swords tightly. She moved so fast that only an afterimage of a cold and lofty woman was left behind.

Clang!

The distance between her and Rumad were null in just a blink of an eye. She quickly raised her swords to block the greatsword that was aimed at Genie.

And….

Dash!

After blocking the sword, she quickly sidestepped, jumped off the ground and moved behind Rumad.

“Ghost Sword.”

[A ghostly sword that can’t be followed by the naked eye!]

Her sword moved at a speed that couldn’t be followed by anyone so easily.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!

“Hmph!”

Rumad let go of the whip and launched a punch at Genie.

Punch!

“Kgghk!”

Genie flew back in an arc. Then, Rumad turned around and easily blocked the incoming sword attacks.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

‘Crazy……!’

Genie was shocked.

Ascar’s Ghost Sword is so fast that no one in the guild could even stop it! She is also ranked 64th in the world’s swordsman’s rankings.

Ascar looked quite surprised too. In all honesty, Rumad also couldn’t stop all of her attacks.

[Your attack has failed.]

Their abnormal condition had lowered all of their defenses and attacks by 20%. It was a bigger blow to them than what she thought earlier and Rumad’s defenses were much stronger than what they had expected. Even if they had successfully attacked him, only a little bit of blood would fall out.

“Heop!”

Rumad’s sword was once again filled with strength.

Meanwhile, the other guild members were running behind him while Ascar was distracting him. However, just as Ascar’s sword made contact with Rumad’s greatsword…

Spark!

Sparks were created in their clash.

Then, Rumad struck the ground strongly.

Baaaaang!

The ground shook and trembled due to the impact of the strike. It was such a tremendous force that even the guild members that were running towards them were unable to keep their bodies upright.

And Ascar who was nearer and took the brunt of it was left in shock.

[Ghost Armor]

[The ghosts in the field will protect you.]

In just an instant, ghosts armed to the teeth with armor swarmed and clung on Ascar’s body. Ascar saw a powerful blow coming straight towards her as the ground twisted and shook earlier. The ground shook and tried to swallow her down.

Baang!

Baaaaam!

Spikes sprouted out from the ground one by one.

“Kghhk!”

Despite wearing her ghost armor she still took a huge amount of damage.

“Ack!”

In the end, she vomited out a mouthful of blood. Without missing any gap, Rumad closed the distance between them and swung his greatsword at her.

Slash!

Just as Rumad slashed at her with the sword…

[You have been struck by a greatsword. Your defenses have been ignored.]

[Your HP has dropped below 30%.]

[Due to the severity of the attack, all of your stats had been reduced by 70%.]

Her body tethered before she collapsed on the ground.

“Haaaaa… Haaaa… Damn! His greatsword ignores all defenses!”

“……fXck?!”

“You’ll be forced to log out in one strike!”

Ignoring all defenses was a much greater ability than anyone could think of. They did not know whether it was a skill attached to the greatsword or it was a passive skill that Rumad himself had and whenever an attack would come their way, it would automatically reduce all of their defenses and the damage would follow suit which in turn would reduce their HP. It was like the members of Legend Guild were only wearing a shabby beginner’s armor in front of Rumad with how defenseless they were.

“Interesting. I can’t believe that there are strong foreigners here.”

Rumad smiled coldly at them. The guild members of Legend Guild suddenly paused in their tracks when they saw his chilling smile. Rumad quickly rushed to where they were.

Meanwhile, Khan and the other guild members of Legend Guild were dealing with the rest of the forces.

Swoosh!

Kick!

Khan was quickly greeted with a series of sharp kicks. Then he stepped back calmly and smiled.

“That was a pretty sharp kick.”

“Shut up, you bastard!”

Ares quickly narrowed the distance between them. In fact, Ares truly did have a pretty sharp kick.

[Sharp Kick]

[A kick that could cut down your enemies.]

Swish!

His legs were covered with a white glow as he kicked towards Khan. Khan covered his face and upper body with his arms and escaped with just a few steps. If Ares’ fighting style was akin to Taekwondo then Khan’s was akin to boxing.

Khan, who was avoiding his kicks, suddenly found a gap. With great strength, he punched at the opening. And at that moment…

“Caught you.”

Ares grinned widely as he turned his body around. He used his most powerful kick to deal a blow towards Khan who willingly went to the opening that he had dug for him.

Baaang!

Khan was hit on the jaw and flew back.

“Keok!”

Ares, taking this opportunity, leaped forward.

“This is my answer to your attack earlier!”

His legs were suddenly covered with a sharp light.

Bang!

Ares kicked his abdomen with a powerful kick.

“Ugh!”

Khan fell down the ground as he vomited a mouthful of blood.

“Ack!”

He felt that his stomach was twisting in pain. In just one attack, his HP fell down by 30%.

“A guild’s GM should be able to do at least this much.”

Khan spitted out the blood in his mouth with a “Tch!”

“Ah, that’s right. Did you see behind you?”

“Behind me?”

Ares’ face suddenly turned ugly.

“Your guild members and troop soldiers… almost all of them are dead.”

Ares furtively glanced behind him, he saw his guild members who were fighting fiercely against the guild members of Legend Guild. Right now, he could see that only a few of them were missing and not all of them were dead.

“How can you say such a straight faced lie……”

“Yeah. It’s a lie.”

Khan closed the distance between them as his fists were charged with power.

[Bash of Fury!]

[Additional 20% damage to ten consecutive blows to your enemies.]

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

“Keuheop! Keheok!”

Khan’s fist bashed at Ares’ chest, his armor was even dented and crushed due to the impact of the blows.

And the final blow…

Baaaang!

Ares flew back and was forced to log out before he could even fall down!

“A man should fight with their fists.”

Khan grinned brightly as he joined his other guild members to clear the remnants of the Ares Guild.

Meanwhile, the bounty hunter and spearman, Crow, helplessly flew back after he received the direct brunt of Rumad’s attack. Genie braced her body to reduce the force that she received.

“Kgghk!”

“Kyaaaak!”

There were two people trying to approach Rumad from behind. One of them was the Crazy Priest, Locke. Locke approached Rumad with a crazy smile on his face. Even though his job class was a healer, he was considered to be the strongest in terms of strength and stamina among all of his guild members so he at least had great confidence in his strength.

“Oryaaaaa!”

Locke swung his axe towards Rumad with all his might in an attempt to block his way and give at least a few moments of reprieve for his guild members.

Swooosh!

Swooooosh!

“Keuhahahahahah! Do you also want to taste my heals? Heal, heal, heal!”

However, the bleeding effect of his heals could only work if his attacks were successful.

Slash!

Rumad smacked his axe away with his greatsword. The axe was embedded on the ground. Locke quickly forgot about his axe and hugged Rumad’s waist tightly.

“I’ll hold on to him so focus your attacks on him……!”

Let’s just die together!

This was his intention. To let his guild members focus all of their attacks while he tried to hold Rumad in a deadlock. However…

“Annoying.”

Rumad easily removed Locke’s tight grasp.

“Heok!”

Then he kicked him hard.

Bang!

Roll, roll, roll!

The situation had suddenly turned seriously dire.

Legend Guild was a guild that was composed of members that could rival official rankers. However, there was a reason why they were struggling this much. Ten kindergarten students wouldn’t be able to defeat an adult after all. Their situation was exactly like that. The Legend Guild members were the ten kindergarten students while Rumad was the huge adult. And he was an adult who was well versed in fighting too.

[Guild Master Genie: As soon as I send the signal, launch an all out attack. We don’t have any other choice. Use all of your skills including the risky ones. We’re going all out!]

[Guild Chatting Locke: OK!]

[Guild Chatting Horen: Yes!]

Genie waited with bated breath.

Rumad swung his greatsword with great fanfare. Every swing of his sword, her guild members would fly away in a sorry state.

“Kgghhhk!”

She tried to swing her whip to block the attacks but the force was so large that it engulfed her.

[You have been struck by a greatsword. Your defenses have been ignored.]

[Your HP has dropped below 50%.]

[Your AGI has been temporarily reduced by 40%.]

Genie was finally sure that Rumad had an ‘ignore all defenses’ passive skill.

“This is much easier than what I thought.”

Rumad walked around leisurely while stroking his beard.

The moment he walked within the range she had set, Genie’s eyes gleamed brightly.

[Sword-like Whip.]

[Your whip can cut down your enemies in one fell swoop.]

As soon as she started her movements, the rest of her guild members used their greatest trump cards.

[Great Spear Boom!]

[Ghost King Decas’ Sword!]

[Dragon Arrow!]

[Carla’s……]

Those were the most powerful attacks of the ten guild members!

Rumad finally sensed danger when he saw all of their incoming attacks.

‘I can’t avoid it.’

His greatsword was suddenly infused with a lot of energy.

Spark, spark, spark!

The greatsword was suddenly covered with a red glow. He swung his bloody red greatsword at the incoming attacks.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The powerful strike from the glowing sword collided with the attacks from the surroundings and created a great impact.

Baaaang!

Baaaaang!

However, some attacks still struck Rumad. Once his movements were restricted, Ascar’s most powerful skill, the Ghost King Decas’ flew quickly and wrapped all over Rumad.

Fwish, fwish, fwish!

“Keuaaa!”

For the first time, Rumad gave out a shriek of pain.

And the attacking skill that Crow used had a 3m radius and would only be extinguished once it landed on the target.

Bang!

An explosion occurred near Rumad while an arrow flew at a fast pace. The arrow turned red and was covered in flames. It made a threatening sound just like a dragon using its dragon breath. This was the best skill in Lute’s arsenal! He sent it out together with the rest of the attacks that the Legend Guild had sent.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaa!

“Kgggghk!”

Rumad was forced to take a step back.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The attacks coming from the members of the Legend Guild came pouring down! Once all of the attacks ended, a thick layer of dust covered the whole area.

“Heok, heok, heok, heok!”

“I can’t fight anymore……”

“Ah. The risk of my skill is really too much……!”

“I can’t even get up even if you beat me to death……”

The members of the Legend Guild really gave it their all, they even used risky skills. It was better than dying helplessly. Death for rankers was much different compared to death for ordinary users. The penalty for being forced to log out would let other rankers overtake them. This would lead to their place being snatched.

All of her guild members fell down and relaxed. However, Genie did not do so.

“……Did anyone get the notification for successfully hunting Rumad?”

“No, No!”

“I don’t have it too.”

“But I don’t have it too?”

“……!”

Genie’s brows furrowed.

This is strange, why hasn’t anyone heard the notification.

This only meant one thing…

They were not able to kill him off.

“Everyone, get up……!”

The moment Genie said so…
