It wasn’t the time to answer that question.

“Are you talking to Legend’s GM-nim?”

“Did you say wizard?”

“I said Legend.”

Hilton smiled at him as he quickly sent a message in their guild chat.

Hilton looked at his surroundings then he nodded slightly.

At that moment…

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The attacks suddenly came down like lightning bolts out of the blue.

Rovan, who was just getting ready, quickly re-wore all of his artifacts. However, he still frowned when he saw the incoming magic attacks from the users surrounding them.

‘This…… won’t stop……’

He thought that it would be better for them to force himself to log-out. At the very least he wouldn’t be able to see their dirty mugs after that.

Minhyuk, who was watching silently, flew in front of him.

His frying pan became huge enough to block the incoming attacks. The frying pan grew as much as 4m long.

“Heok?!”

Hilton was shocked still.

At the same time, Minhyuk heard notifications.

However, everything was fine. After all, he had enough MP because he just ate the thousand-year-old hasuo that Rovan gave him. Minhyuk swung his frying pan at all the magic and skills that were flying straight towards them.

Fwooooosh!

Everyone could hear the air splitting as the huge frying pan was swung here and there. Then, the magic and skills hit the frying pan one by one.

Claaang!

Clang, ttaeng!

Baang!

Ring!

Clang!

There were a total of five spells that were thrown out but Hilton could see that these spells were bounced off and reflected back to the users who threw it.

“Keuaaaack!”

“Keuaaack!”

Hilton looked at the situation as he heard shrieks and screams all around. Before they could even react, Rovan with his red sword had already narrowed the distance between them.

“……What the hell is that frying pan?!”

Rovan swung his sword as he shouted back at the screaming Hilton.

“It’s the Frying Pan Killer!”

Hilton quickly pulled out his two idoryus and blocked the greatsword that was attacking his side.

Crash!

‘H, he’s extremely strong……!’

He was shocked beyond belief. Hilton was considered to be the strongest out of all of them here but the moment that Rovan’s greatsword made contact with his swords, he couldn’t even bear the power and flew to the side.

Roll, roll━

Hilton rolled around twice to stabilize his body. As soon as he tried to stand up, he could see Rovan swinging his sword at him again.

Slash!

“Keuheup!”

He could see that his HP had been cut down by a large degree when Rovan’s sword struck down on his leg.

Rovan saw that there were three users that were running to where they were. They were using their skills as they tried to rush towards their location.

However, Rovan did not retreat. His eyes glinted sharply as he looked at all the incoming attacks.

Vwooooom!

Slaaaaash!

He gently lifted his sword and swung it quickly. He quickly narrowed the distance and cut through the chest of another user with his second swing.

Slash!

He swiftly leaned back to avoid the attack of another person from his side and struck him with his greatsword.

Bang!

“Keuk!”

He dodged another attack that was fired behind him then stabbed at the user behind him with great strength.

Stab!

The man was directly hit and flew back.

All of these happened in just a moment.

As he caught his breath, he could see another wave of users rushing towards him. Their number was now more than ten. In addition, the mages that were caught in the spells that reflected from Minhyuk’s frying pan had caught their bearings and were already preparing to cast new magic.

Minhyuk ran to where Rovan was and stabbed the user that tried to attack him with all his might. He successfully stabbed him right in the middle of his chest.

Crack!

Ellie’s Sword swiftly penetrated through the red armor. Then…

Baaaaam!

The man’s armor exploded loudly as he flew back after receiving such a direct hit.

“Keoheop! T, that’s impossible……! How can my HP drop by 60% with just one hit……!”

“……!”

Hilton was shocked when he saw and heard his member’s words.

‘Is he a member of the Legend Guild too?’

Minhyuk stood beside Rovan while Rovan’s mind spun quickly.

‘We don’t have any chance of winning right now. No matter how strong the two of us are we won’t be able to beat all of these users.’

We need to find another way!

At that moment, like a lightbulb lighting up, Rovan shouted ‘Ah!’. It seemed like he had found a way out of their predicament.

“The Power of Sin……!”

“Yes?”

“Minhyuk-nim, please follow me from now on.”

“……I understand.”

Minhyuk nodded his head obediently while Rovan was thinking about the Power of Sin.

‘Once we reach the place where the Power of Sin lies then everyone would be in an abnormal state. But Minhyuk and I have a high magical defense. Especially Minhyuk, he has an absurd amount of magical defense.’

He was hoping that his high magical defense would be able to protect Minhyuk once they entered that place. In his case, he brought the consumable artifact Angel’s wings. The moment he consumed Angel’s wings, his immunity would increase by +100.

Now, all he needed to do was lure the people that were after them to where the Power of Sin was.

We need to get there!

Dash!

Rovan and Minhyuk started to run. Meanwhile, Minhyuk looked behind at the enemies that were chasing after them.

The group that was chasing after Minhyuk and Rovan suddenly saw a flurry of sword attacks with dozens of afterimages coming straight at them!

‘Most of these attacks are definitely far less effective than the real attacks!’

A user with the name of Ken tried to run through the flurry of swords with that thought in mind. But…

Slash!

The sword attacks slashed all over his body and forced him to log-out.

“……Heok!”

Slash!

Slash!

Slash!

For 5 seconds, they stood still and tried to pass through carefully. No matter what they thought, they really couldn’t pass through the flurry of rampant swords quickly and not receive any damage. If they rushed in recklessly, like what Ken did earlier, then they would be forced to log-out!

When the effect of the rampant sword, they groaned loudly. They couldn’t even stand straight and keep their balance.

“Healers. Quick, cast heal!”

As soon as Hilton’s voice fell, Minhyuk and Rovan had already ran away from them.

Hilton started running with the remaining guild members that he had with him. They chased after the two escaping guys. He believed that there was only one reason why they were running away.

Is it because they realized that they had no chance of winning against us?

‘I’ll kill the two of you, then I’ll take that frying pan for myself!’

He did not know the exact capabilities and functions of that frying pan but he was sure that it was something that shouldn’t be overlooked. He was certain that it was something that was worth a fortune.

The Ares Guild began to chase after them at a rapid pace.

“Haa, haa.”

“Heok, heok, heok.”

Minhyuk and Rovan were running at their fastest speed. Rovan took the lead and guided him along the way while Minhyuk covered their backs.

Fwoooooom!

Claaaang!

Slash!

The person that struck with his dagger was sent flying back. He got embedded in one of the trees.

Meanwhile, Minhyuk looked behind them and saw that the bandit-like users were running in between the trees.

“Are we there yet?”

“We’re almost there.”

The road that Rovan was leading him to was getting rougher and harder to traverse.

“Hurry, catch those bastards!”

They ran faster when they heard someone shouting right behind them.

As they ran further inside, Rovan could see that the ground, the air, the grass, the trees and even the vapor that was rising from the ground were all black.

‘It’s here…… The hidden place where the Great Mage’s Power of the Seven Deadly Sins was hidden……!’

Once he overcame these seven deadly sins, then it would mean that he had cleared his hidden quest.

“Let’s stop here. We have to go together. Once we go inside the curse of the Power of Sin will fall on me and Minhyuk-nim. The same will also happen to them.”

As he said that, he took out the Angel’s wings and quickly ate it.

“Ack! It tastes disgusting…… I’m sorry. I don’t have one for Minhyuk-nim.”

“You don’t have to give me one if it tastes bad.”

The two men finally saw Hilton and his group once again.

‘Did their numbers rise again?’

It seemed that the number of people had increased while they were chasing after them.

Maybe the Ares Guild had called for more backup.

Currently, the number of people surrounding them were at thirty. This was quite a large number of people dispatched just to deal with two people.

“Hoo. Have you gone tired after running away like rats?”

Rovan raised his middle finger at him and grinned at him.

“Why don’t you just leave Legend Guild and come to Ares Guild?”

“You want me to work under Ares? Why would I want to work for that weakling of a bastard?”

Rovan was a prideful person.

Hilton’s forehead creased in irritation, however, he couldn’t deny what he said. Once Rovan developed well, he would probably be able to surpass Ares. This was how great his potential growth was.

“So that’s what you think. How about you? We will offer you 1 billion in cash. It may not be much but we intend to pay you that much in a year.”

Once he heard that, Minhyuk answered him calmly.

“It’s really not that much.”

TL’s corner!!!

No, it really isn’t much for him! His assets are way over the roof. He’s not being sarcastic! Don’t take it the wrong way. Kekekekeke.

PR’s corner!

Of course, he says that’s not much. I love how noncommittal Minhyuk can be.
