Chapter 819 Hanwoo’s Charge was the greatest AOE attack skill of the Bull Demon King, former king of the Kingdom of Eden. It was a truly overpowered skill, with its 6,000% additional attack and ability to break everything and anything that crossed his path during the charge.
The players had always been in awe whenever they watched Hanwoo grow to the height of fifty meters, before charging forward to trample his enemies. This time, the Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army had prepared the Shield’s Wall and the God’s Aggro to stop Hanwoo’s Charge.
However, an unbelievable scene was unfolding in front of their very eyes. Hundreds of Hanwoos, each over fifty meters tall, were charging forward and encircling their entire army.
The main reason why Sun Wukong could compete with the Jade Emperor was because of his cloning technique. Utilizing Sun Wukong’s cloning technique, Hanwoo became a hundred Hanwoos.
The entire Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army fell into great chaos as the gigantic Hanwoos charged at them. At that moment, Master Archer Miao pulled the strings of her bow and released an arrow.
Her arrow was aiming at Hanwoo’s forehead.
“Reinforced Shot.”
Hanwoo, who received the Reinforced Shot with 3,500% additional attack, disappeared with a
Master Archer Miao immediately explained, “Get back to your senses! The Hanwoos are just an illusion created by cloning techniques. His attack and defense will be much lower than usual. Even if you get trampled by his feet, you will be able to endure it. We can also make him disappear before he arrives!”
The high rankers saw through the shortcomings of the cloning technique in a single glance. If this was the usual Hanwoo, then they would not be able to kill him, even if they poured all of their attacks on him. However, the situation was different right now.
The mages hurriedly cast their magical attacks. As a result, several Hanwoos were swept away by the explosion of their attacks and disappeared into nothingness.
“It— It’s true?!”
“Right. They won’t inflict high damage on us even if we get trampled on,” Master Archer Miao declared confidently.
Of course, the others also felt the same.
However, just when Hanwoo jumped among the ranks of the Coalition Army, a mysterious sound, which seemed like the drumming of a muyu, rang across the battlefield. It was quite strange. Although the entire battlefield was covered with Hanwoo’s thundering footsteps, all of the players could still hear the drumming of a muyu clearly in their ears.
Then, the sound of the muyu started to slow down.
The power of the Great Buddha seeped into the charging Hanwoos’ bodies as the first Hanwoo made contact with the Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army.
“No matter how high your damage is…” Master Archer Miao cried loudly.
“Keuaaaaack!”
“Aaaaaaack!”
“U— uwaaaaaack!”
“It— it hurts!!!”
Unfortunately, things played out differently than expected. The players that had been trampled by Hanwoo’s gigantic feet were left confused and in a daze. The damage that they received was not negligible at all. Of course, there was not a single player that died under Hanwoo’s feet. However, their HP fell by around 10~20%, more than their expectations of 5% damage.
Why was that the case? This was because Hanwoo, or the Bull Demon King, had also eaten Minhyuk’s buffed dish. Minhyuk had made sure to feed him a buffed dish that maximized the effects of Hanwoo’s Charge skill.
Not long after, more than ninety Hanwoos charged forward and trampled upon the enemy army.
“Keuaaaack!”
“Uwaaaaaaack!”
“A— aaaaaaaack!”
After four seconds of non-stop charging, no player had been forced to log out yet. However, after a certain period of time, the players began to get swept away. After all, Valentino’s Shield Wall, a skill that could only prevent one attack, was already useless.
That was right. The hundred Hanwoos were definitely effective in causing chaos among the enemy ranks. However, the power had obviously decreased.The tankers hurriedly triggered their skills as they pushed their square shields to cover the heads of the players around them. These square shields, which numbered at ten thousands perhaps even more, created an amazing scene that prevented Hanwoo’s feet from trampling on them.
“Ridiculous bastard. Did you think that this would work on us, huh? What a grand idea, huh?!” Summoner Bastien chuckled along with the other high rankers. Even the troops of the Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army were all relieved to know that the damage was at a level that they could endure.
However, there was one man that did not laugh. It was none other than Alexander, who was hiding underneath the hood of his robe.
Once the Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army reached a certain area in Edea, they would join the Heavenly Army and become a much stronger army. So, before that, Minhyuk had to kill as many of the Coalition Army as possible. However, Hanwoo’s Charge was not doing much in terms of reducing the enemy numbers.
Alexander realized something, his eyes growing wide.
Looking back on their situation, the only thing that Alexander had seen that came from Bichor was the outstanding .
A thought flashed in Alexander’s head, his eyes growing even wider with the realization.
It was short and bold. Of course, Edea’s Commander was given plenty of special privileges and rewards. The which was quite similar to God’s Voice, was also one of those privileges.
“Bang?”
“…?”
While everyone was lost in confusion, Alexander discovered potion bottles that were tied with a rope on the legs of Hanwoo’s clones.
Then, one of the potion bottles exploded. Tens of thousands of players disappeared without a trace.
Alexander’s gaze moved around until he confirmed the location of all of Hanwoo’s clones.
All of the Hanwoos had already penetrated deeply in the army. The deeper one was, the higher the number of troops gathered.
The appearance of hundreds of Hanwoos was meant to serve as a tactic to create chaos and disturbance among the enemy troops. was Minhyuk’s true plan.
“…We’re in trouble,” Valentino murmured, his face turning deathly white.
Like a chain reaction, the rest of the potions exploded one after the other.
The huge explosions shook the entirety of Edea. The estimated number of bottles that exploded was around ten. However, each and every single one of those bottles could trigger an earth-shaking explosion.
Hell on earth. There was nothing else to describe the situation that suddenly unfolded in front of them, as players were forced to log out in droves from the huge explosions that bloomed amidst their ranks. Even though there were players that had miraculously escaped being forced to log out, they were left lying on the ground, groaning from the severe injuries that littered their bodies.
The Edea’s Commander’s Voice rang in the ears of these people.
***
Blazing flames, which seemed to be able to burn everything and anything that it passed by, rose up from the Barren Land’s dry and empty fields.
After mocking the Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army and forcing 1.2 million of their troops to log out by making full use of Hanwoo and the explosives, Minhyuk concentrated on his task once again.
“Ugh!”
“Kghhhhk…”
Both Hella and Minhyuk groaned after they jumped into the fire pit to harvest the cabbage.
Notifications rang constantly in Minhyuk’s ears as the flames licked every inch of his body. Of course, since he was a player, it just felt a bit weird to him. Unfortunately, that was not the case for Hella. Her entire body was being destroyed and burned by the flames. She endured the pain from the blazing flames and continued to work hard on harvesting the final ingredient. It was quite a spectacular sight to see the two of them slamming their hoes on the ground while being engulfed with flames.
The only reason why Minhyuk and Hella was able to endure this long was because the two of them had been sharing Mandala’s Potion. However, the potion would run out soon.
It was getting harder and harder for Hella to swing her hoe. There was respect in Minhyuk’s eyes as he watched Hella work hard while enduring the burning pain that wracked her entire body.
She was a woman that dreamt of making Hell thrive and prosper.
Along with that dream was her love for the God of Death.
They had been digging hard and swinging their hoes for who knew how long. However, the two of them continued to work hard, hoping that their efforts would bear fruit.
“Urk! ”
“Hella, are you alri…”
“Don’t stop!” Hella shouted when she saw Minhyuk try to stop to approach her. Even when the red and blazing flames were burning her entire body, Hella’s complexion remained deathly white. However, she still gave a small smile while saying, “Please, I beg you. Please don’t stop what you’re doing.”
Minhyuk could see how desperate she was. He tightened his grip on his hoe and nodded.
“How long are you going to avoid Hella when she’s working hard like this?”
Minhyuk’s voice was faint. In fact, the loud crackle of the flames easily buried his voice. However, this voice still floated to someone’s ears.
“How long will you keep on saying that it’s your fault while running away without even apologizing, you moron?” Minhyuk murmured, addressing the man despite not knowing if he was listening. Nevertheless, he continued to swing his hoe.
“Hihihihihihing!!!”
When they reached 50% of the harvest rate, a larger and hotter flame suddenly burst out from the dry and barren land.
“Hihihihihihihihing!”
A Hell Horse covered with black flames appeared. Its flames burned brighter and hotter than those that covered ordinary Hell Horses. The Hell Horse looked at Minhyuk and Hella.
Minhyuk bit his lips tightly.
***
The God of Death heard Minhyuk’s words loud and clear.
The most fearsome and ferocious god in the world, the God of Deaths, sat on his throne made of skeletons as he looked at his crystal ball. Minhyuk’s murmurs continued to be delivered to his ears.
—
Those words made the God of Death jump from his seat. Everything that a god had, including his pride, arrogance, face and even his guilt, he finally put it down. Gods could also love, even if they were scary or deadly.
The crystal ball showed the scene where Hell Horse Velma roared wildly. Velma was Hell’s guardian god. She might be a horse, but her strength and power was comparable to that of ordinary gods.
Perhaps Hella would die under Velma’s hooves. After all, Velma’s mission was to maintain the state of Hell. Harvesting all of the Sin’s Ingredients meant that they would be breaking the balance that Velma protected.
At that moment, a huge door opened in front of the God of Death, widely recognized as one of the greatest and most fearsome gods. However, he completely threw away his pride to run toward the woman that he loved.
A memory flashed in the God of Death’s mind. It was a memory of the time when he, Hella and Velma spent great times laughing together. Even so, Velma was someone that was very faithful to her mission.
The God of Death ran like crazy until he arrived near the Barren Land.
“…?”
What greeted him was a ridiculous notification. The God of Death could not help but laugh helplessly. He came here just in case the Mother of Hell Horses Velma tried to kill Hella. But what he saw was Velma sitting in front of Hella, while removing the flames that covered the Barren Land.
Hella was gently stroking Velma’s head as she called out, “Velma.”
“…”
The words that followed made the God of Death’s heart drop.
“Please take care of Louis when I’m no longer here.”
