Leveling Up Through Eating

PR: MattForgenti

“......M, most powerful men.”

Her body trembled slightly, not because she was under the abnormal state, Extreme Fear, but because there was a powerful man in front of her!

If she hunted this man successfully then she would be able to receive and gain tremendous reputation and fame, she would be able to level up quickly and she would also receive plenty of artifacts.

Athenae once opened an information page about the Most Powerful Men of the continent.

The Great Mage Rafielt.

The Imperial Sword Rumad.

The Iron Blooded Monarch, Overlord and the likes.

Among those, Rumad was the eight and the weakest. However, even if the Imperial Sword Rumad was the weakest among all of the Most Powerful Men, he was still a huge powerhouse. And encountering the eight of the Most Powerful Men only meant one thing…

‘We don’t know yet, but he will definitely drop an epic artifact at the very least and even a legendary artifact at the most.’

In addition, if they were able to hunt such a powerhouse, then the name of the Legend Guild would skyrocket and be well-known.

She gripped the handle of her whip tightly.

"I didn\'t know that such an eye candy could be so strong!"

Shwaaaaaaa!

Her whip elongated as she used one of her skills.

[Howling Whip.]

[A whip covered with blazing flames. Can melt anything down.]

Shwaaaa!

She brandished her whip strongly. The whip that was swaying strongly turned into a firebird that could easily burn things down.

Crackle!

At that moment, Rumad took out his greatsword and held it with both of his hands. Then, a strong force gushed out and engulfed the sword.

“Haaa!”

He struck the whip that was flying around wildly with his sword.

Slash!

His power was so great that the phoenix-like incarnation fell down the ground without putting up any fight at all.

“......!”

Genie staggered back as she looked at him in surprise.

‘Hi, his strength is really overwhelming!’

What was worse was that Rumad did not use any swordsmanship skill. He could easily break and block her skills with just his sheer force.

He quickly narrowed the distance between the two of them.

“Lady, you’re using some pretty rough whip there. It might be good to use it at night!”

“This perverted bas……”

Before she could even finish her words, Rumad had already kicked her strongly.

Bang!

“Kggghk!”

She flew back in a flash and ended up rolling around on the floor to negate the huge force. Her HP dropped by 15% in an instant!

‘Crazy……!’

Such a crazy damage.

Before she realized it…

Run, run, run, run!

Run, run, run, run!

Run, run, run, run!

She was already surrounded by a crowd. There was one man among them that she could recognize.

It was Ares.

Ares was grinning broadly. His mouth was quirked so wide that it almost looked like it would rip apart.

Finally! The time has come for me to kill Genie!

He even brought Ares Guild’s first, second and third best raid leaders to this fight.

“Kill her!”

Ares was a man who never played fair and square. Rumad turned around as if he had lost interest once Ares and his guild members had arrived.

“Tch!”

Genie bit her lips hard as she swung her whip fiercely.

Shwaa!

Shwaaa!

Ares only brought 50 of his guild members since there was a limit to how much people could accept the quest. Except for those who had died earlier, there were still at least 30 people left. In addition, there was a 50-man troop that was accompanying them on this quest.

Genie had no choice but to use her most powerful skill just to get a bit of a leeway for her safety.

[Scattered Whip.]

[Dozens of whips will fly and slash at a rapid pace!]

Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa!

The whip was swaying wildly and quickly in the air that it only left afterimages after cutting down one enemy after the other. Even Ares and his raid leaders couldn’t easily approach her.

‘This skill definitely eats a lot of MP……’

After using this skill, Genie had almost zero MP left.

Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa!

Once her skill time ended, Genie heaved a huge sigh.

The dust finally settled and the terrible scene of the surroundings was seen. Corpses of both the users and the soldiers of the troop were littered everywhere.

“Hoo.”

Rumad looked at her with mild appreciation.

Meanwhile, Ares, who only suffered from minor injuries, quickly narrowed the distance between him and Genie.

[Lightning Kick.]

[Quickly attack the enemy six times with a fast kick.]

Ares’ feet glowed blue as he jumped up to deliver a powerful kick.

The other raid leaders also jumped up to join the fray. Valk, the raid leader who had the ability to transform into a beast, transformed into a lion and shot forward with a kick of his front foot.

[Beast Roar.]

[Tear your enemy apart with your strong front paws.]

And that wasn’t the end of it all, the other two raid leaders also launched their strong skills.

[Quick Draw!]

[Cut your enemy down with all of your strength.]

[Death Scythe]

[A powerful scythe will cut down your enemy in one breath.]

Shwaaa!

Swooooong!

Hwaaaaa!

As she looked at all the incoming attacks, Genie felt it keenly…

‘It’s the end for me.’

Then… At that moment, a man suddenly jumped in front of her from a distance.

[Frying Pan Gigantification.]

[You can adjust the size of your frying pan depending on the mana that you will input.]

It was Minhyuk!

Minhyuk quickly came running when he heard Genie’s voice. He realized that she was nearby so he ran to her to give aid.

He quickly used the Mahava’s Ring’s absorption skill on Ares’ attack.

[Absorption.]

[You have a 50% chance of success or failure.]

[Lightning Skill has been successfully absorbed.]

[You can use the absorbed skill once within 10 minutes.]

“Hmm?”

Ares, who was gaining momentum from above ground, had no choice but to land.

Then the katana collided with Minhyuk’s frying pan.

Claaang!

“......?!”

“Crazy……! How can a frying pan have such a high defensive power?!”

There was only a slight dent on the place where the katana collided with the frying pan. However, what was so surprising was the fact that he used 80% of his attack power in that attack. Usually, one would need at least two frying pans to block that attack.

Then, Minhyuk heard a notification.

[The Frying Pan’s durability has dropped below 20%.]

Minhyuk frowned.

‘He’s quite strong……’

Rankers are truly different. He already made my frying pan useless in just one hit.

Minhyuk quickly hung the frying pan on his back. Just as he kept the frying pan, Valk, the user who transformed into a lion charged at him and hit him with his front paws.

“Eop!”

Thanks to his reflexes, Minhyuk was able to tilt his head away. However, Valk’s front paws still ended up hitting his Armor of Immortality.

[Physical Damage Reflection!]

[Returns the physical damage with a x2 increase in strength.]

Bang!

“Keuaaaaaah!”

Valk screamed at the searing pain when his chest got torn. The image of a lion was carved on his flesh as blood gushed out from the wounds.

Minhyuk did not miss the gap and grasped the opportunity.

[Lightning Kick.]

[Quickly attack the enemy six times with a fast kick.]

He jumped up as his legs glowed blue. Then…

Vwooom!

The lion was shrieking loudly when he landed a spinning kick on him. He attacked Valk!

Bang!

Valk couldn’t even open his eyes and wake up after being hit by the Lightning Kick. However, it did not end with just that single kick. Five more kicks followed in succession.

Kick!

Bang!

Thud!

Slam!

His bones were fractured every time his body took a clean hit.

[Your HP has dropped below 10%.]

Valk couldn’t move a single muscle.

And for the final kick…

Baaang!

He was hit cleanly on the face, flew backwards and was forced to log out.

“Heok……!”

Ares let out a startled shout. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The skill that forced Valk to log out was his own skill, Lightning Kick!

At that moment, a powerful death envoy holding a scythe was finally able to land a blow on Genie. It was the attack made by the scythe-wielding user!

“Kggghk!”

Her body staggered and she was forced to take a few steps back as she lost more than 40% of her HP.

Minhyuk quickly went back to her side.

“Wh, what is this… You’re quite strong.”

Genie was deeply shocked by the scene she had seen earlier. She had no choice but to be shocked. Minhyuk’s strength was far more formidable than what she had imagined.

“Ronny-nim too.”

However, there was nothing else that Minhyuk could show right now. There were a lot of enemies surrounding them and he was even the lowest in terms of level.

I was only able to withstand it because of my artifact’s effect!

“Damn bitch!”

Ares gritted his teeth in anger.

In the end, he still was not able to kill her.

Before he could even launch another attack, Ares felt that his body was slowly floating in the air.

“Nim. Heyo!”

Ares saw a man following his floating body then he saw the man lift his foot high up. Then...

[Giant’s Step.]

[A huge foot will crush your enemies all at once.]

The man’s foot that was up in the air suddenly grew in size. It was at least 3m if you look at it closely.

“Heok!”

Ares, who was still floating in the air, instinctively crossed his arms in a defensive position.

At that moment…

The man’s foot stomped down on Ares!

Baaaaaaaaaam!

Ares was flung straight down towards the ground.

“Ack!”

He vomited a mouthful of blood.

Suddenly, other people popped out one by one.

“Keuhahahahaha. Bring them down! Bring them down!”

“Sigh. This crazy punk. He went batshit crazy again……”

Locke, the Crazy Priest who was just crazily laughing a bit earlier, rushed towards Luma. Luma was the 2nd raid leader of Ares Guild, the one who launched the Quick Draw on Genie.

“Keuhahaha! You’ve never seen anyone like me before, right? Let this hyung give you a heal!”

Just when his axe hit the man…

Puhaaaaa!

[Crazy Priest’s Heal.]

[Continuous Bleeding has been triggered.]

“Heok!”

Luma could see the blood continuously flowing down from his arm. This was caused by the injury inflicted on him by the axe and the weird heal that he had received from the Crazy Priest.

[You’re bleeding.]

[You will be temporarily dizzy.]

Luma suddenly felt his head start to go numb and fuzzy. Along with the burst of dizziness, Locke struck him down from head to toe.

Slash! Smash! Slam!

“Heal, heal, heal! How is it? Do you think you’re healing? Keuhahahahahaha!”

“Noona, are you alright?”

Crackle, fwoosh!

Ace, who was covered in blazing flames, approached Genie.

“I bought you a potion!”

It was a top-notch potion that cost about 10 million gold!

Ace handed the potion over to Genie. Genie quickly gulped down the potion. After he handed the potion to Genie, Ace quickly moved away.

[Hell’s Flame Horse]

[The horse covered in blazing flames from hell can easily burn down all of your enemies in one fell swoop.]

“Hihihing!”

A huge fire horse sprang up from the ground and charged towards the enemies. As soon as it made contact with the enemy users and soldiers, its flames quickly engulfed them and burned them to ashes.

“Aaaaaack!”

“Keuaaaack!”

With the agonized screams of their enemies as their background, the members of the Legend Guild surrounded Genie and asked her about her situation.

“Where did our flower piggy get hurt?”

“You damn punk! Who’s your damn flower piggy? I’ll make you into a flower piggy, stab a knife in your body and throw away your pork belly!”

“Aaaaaah. Wait. Our pretty GM-nim’s face is ruined!”

The guild members of Legend Guild that popped out from all over the place started attacking the soldiers and user enemies.

Ares was left in shock.

‘Damn crazy……!’

He knew that Legend Guild was a place where unofficial rankers were gathered. He thought that it wouldn’t make any difference since he brought his elite force with him but it wasn’t the case at all. Each one of them were at least in the top 100 of their chosen job class.

Twaang!

An arrow pierced the neck of the soldier that was standing next to Ares.

‘Th, this is a live broadcast… those sons of bitches!’

At this rate, it will be impossible… I only have one hope!

He turned his head around and looked at the Imperial Sword Rumad. Rumad was now slowly beginning to move.

And Minhyuk…

“......What the hell. You.”

He was flustered when he saw the faces of Khan and Locke. They closely resembled the faces of his friends back in middle school. He shook his head to clear out the messy thoughts in his head.

What about Ronnie who’s standing next to me? Come to think of it, I thought her voice was so familiar.

He turned around to look at Genie with confusion plastered on his face. Then, he saw Genie grinning at him widely.

“That’s right. I’m one of the two great pigs in the mountains. The wild boar.”

“......Heok!”

Minhyuk was so shocked that he fell down on his bum. Genie looked at him with a frown.

“What? What’s wrong with you!”

“C, can a person even change so much like this?!”

Genie’s eyes narrowed sharply.

“Is that a compliment or a curse……”

At that moment, Locke, who was easily cutting down soldiers one after another, looked back at Minhyuk.

“Keuhahahaha! Every time we see each other, we also get surprised.”

Minhyuk slowly turned his head and said…

“Jisoo, you…”

“That’s right, you shithead. I’m also really stro……”

“You really look ugly just like what Genie said in her message…...! Hiiiiiik!”

“......”

For a moment there, Locke pondered if he should just split Minhyuk’s head with his axe instead of his enemies.

Then, there was the King of Fist, Khan.

“Let’s congratulate each other for our reunion later. Let’s take care of these guys first.”

He grinned at Minhyuk while Minhyuk looked at him with wide eyes.

At that moment…

“Yeah. Have fun meeting again in the afterlife.”

Someone slashed a greatsword behind Minhyuk.

Slaaaaash!

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

[Your HP has dropped below 10%.]

[You have been struck with a powerful blow, you are bleeding and currently struggling.]

[If you don’t recover your HP quickly, you will be forced to log out due to excessive bleeding.]

Minhyuk’s body dropped forward.

“Minhyuk-ah!”

“Heok!”

“Hiss!”

Bang!

Rumad smashed his greatsword on the ground with all his might.

“Isn’t it a bit sad that you forgot about me?”

The members of the Legend Guild frowned at him as he laughed maniacally.
