"W, what's that?"

"Heok!"

"Ma, mages! Dispel! Dispel!"

All of them were running around in a flurry. One of the mages stepped forward and raised his wand but not long after, he couldn't help but look flustered and panicked.

"......heok?!"

And in a blink of an eye a huge tidal wave engulfed the guild members that were gathered together.

Puhaaaaaaaak!

"Keheok!"

"Ack?!"

In fact, Roves' Ring's Wave could not cause tremendous damage. But it could easily confuse the enemies and place them in disorder while dragging their bodies down with water. And Minhyuk's reason for using Roves' Ring was simple.

'When water and lightning meet then......'

He knew that it was the best way to use and exert the most power. He hurriedly pulled out the Lightning Millstone from his inventory.

"You, you bastard! Who the hell are you?!"

Crone shouted loudly at him while his guild members started to prepare for battle. The guild members that were swept away by the huge tidal wave all started to stand up and prepare for the incoming battle while coughing and spitting out the water that had inadvertently entered their mouths.

Minhyuk did not even give him an answer. The only thing that he did was hold the handle of the millstone. Then, he began to turn it.

Dudududuk━

"......?"

"......?"

The Bachran Guild members looked at him in askance. They couldn't believe that an absurd guy would spin a millstone in front of them.

"Isn't that just a crazy bastard?"

"Kill him!"

"Mages! Fire your magics!"

Then......

"Huh......?"

Crone stared at the sky above. He could see that the previously clear and bright sky had suddenly turned dark with plenty of dark clouds gathering above them. His eyes couldn't help but widen in shock.

'D, don't tell me......!'

Disaster artifact?

And at that moment......

Bang!

A huge thunderbolt struck down one of the guild members.

"Keuaaaaaack!"

When the guild member shrieked loudly, Crone's eyes couldn't help but widen further. They were currently in a guild war so they were in Guild Battle Mode. When users were playing under the Guild Battle Mode the guild members' HP and MP bars would be floating above their heads. However, more than 20% of the HP of the guild member that was struck earlier had disappeared in a flash.

"Heok......! A, all the dam......!"

But before they could finish that sentence......

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

Lightning fell down from the clouds and indiscriminately struck and devoured the guild members.

"Keuaaaaack!"

"Ugh, aaaaaaaaaack!"

"Shit......!"

"The damage!"

"Eooooook! I, I can't move!"

Once they were struck, the users would not be able to move their body either.

In reality, if ordinary people were struck by lightning they would experience a strong shock that could paralyze them and their bodies would start having seizures. XR

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

The lightning continuously descended while exerting its most powerful force. And in between the commotion, Crone could see the notifications......

In an instant, more than ten of his guild members had died.

'S, strong.'

Crone's eyes grew the size of saucers.

The strength of the disaster artifact was extremely strong. What was worse was that there was even an increase in the effects of the skill since there was water surrounding them. The damages were bound to be tremendously huge.

In the meantime, the thunderbolts and lightnings continued to devour his guild members. Artifacts and gold began to drop from the places where they fell.

'Shit......!'

The biggest reason why Crone always avoided friction with the other large guilds was because of their Chaotic State. Since all of his guild members were under the Chaotic State plenty of artifacts and gold would drop when they were killed. What was worse was that their level and EXP would also go down.

And right now, his guild members' artifacts and gold were all scattered around while the man that was standing on top of the building was just looking down at them with a cold expression on his face.

Then, he jumped down and started running after the remaining guild members.

"P, prepare for combat!!!"

Crone shouted as loud as his throat could let him shout. It was clear that Minhyuk's first goal was Crone.

The tankers immediately formed layers in front of him. Although their HP were significantly cut down, they had recovered to a certain extent after quickly drinking some potions.

"Punk!"

"This bastard!"

"Like the Wind."

Vwoooooong!

"Eok?!"

Tanker Brow was shocked beyond belief. He was the tanker that was blocking the front but he was shocked to find that his enemy was already in front of him in just an instant.

Puhaaaak!

His greatsword scattered and flew past them but that was not the end.

Bang!

A lightning bolt suddenly struck down from the sky and struck Brow's body.

'What the hell, 20% of my HP has been shaved off!'

And once again......

Bang!

"Keheok!"

Brow couldn't come back to his senses. His entire body was trembling wildly and paralyzed. At that moment, Minhyuk slashed his greatsword as he went past him.

Slash!

"Stop him!"

"FXck! Don't let him get to GM-nim!"

The guild members who knew Minhyuk's target quickly surrounded and blocked Crone's front. But when Minhyuk saw what they did, a small smile hung around his lips.

'You're smiling......?'

Crone realized that something was wrong with him so he hurriedly looked at his surroundings. His guild members were surrounding him in layers.

'N, no way?'

Are you telling me that he has another wide-area attack skill?

The moment that thought crossed his mind he saw Minhyuk jump lightly.

Vwooooooong!

Then, he stabbed his greatsword on the ground strongly.

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab━

Hundreds of flowers made out of sword blades bloomed. The edges of the blades twinkled brightly as if they were showing them how sharp they were.

Once the sword blades bloomed fully, the guild members' bodies that were blocking the front were all penetrated and stabbed through. Luckily, Crone was out of the range of the skill so he was unscathed.

'Goddamnit......!'

The next moment, as if to signal that it wasn't the end yet, the sword blades exploded one by one.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

A huge explosion bursted out from within that radius. The explosion was too strong that it sent the guild members flying and tumbling out.

"Kgggghk!"

"Uuuuugh......"

"Keoooook!"

However, they were still fortunate enough to have some survivors from such a blast. The only problem was that they were all seriously injured.

At that moment.

"Like the Wind."

A strong wind blew and Minhyuk was already in front of him. Crone hurriedly took out an artifact.

It was a flamberge. It was a sword that had its blade shaped like a wave. The flamberge was a sword that was not associated with slashes and cut. It was a cruel sword that was used for ripping and tearing apart the enemies.

Even though he was like that, Crone was also one of the most influential rankers in the country and the man in front of him was just the Frying Pan Killer.

"I don't know why you're so strong but......"

Crone hurriedly blocked Minhyuk's sword with his flamberge in an instant.

Clang!

Flamberge was also a huge and heavy sword which was on par with the heaviness of Minhyuk's greatsword. Crone was only able to easily and freely wield his flamberge because he had a high sword mastery skill. And he knew that Minhyuk was alone. Even though his guild members suffered greatly from him it was only because of his 'Disaster Artifact' and his wide-area of attack skill that explodes his swords. He believed that with those things out of the question, he would easily be able to deal with him in a 1:1 PVP match.

"Attack his back!"

Crone hurriedly gave out his orders. But at that exact same moment, a creature flew out and defended Minhyuk's back.

"Oink!"

Thanks to Kaistra, Kongie had evolved and he now had a high attack power so he was feeling confident in dealing with their enemies.

"Kong-ah, let's go."

"Oink!"

As soon as Minhyuk took his first step, Kongie flew straight at their enemies at a fierce speed with his mighty flipper.

Clang!

Minhyuk's sword once again collided with Crone's flamberge.

At that moment......

Shweeeeeek!

Flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap━

A sharp wind broke out of the flamberge and tore through Minhyuk's body.

Spurt━

Blood spurted and flowed out from all over his body. The wind that tore through his body was the 'Flowing Wind', a skill that was attached to Crone's flamberge. It had a 7~14% chance of triggering if the enemy attempted an attack and was blocked successfully. Also, it could deal quite an amount of damage.

Clang, clang, clang!

Minhyuk and Crone clashed swords again and the Flowing Wind was triggered again.

Flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap━

The wind tore through his body once more as Crone's mouth was filled with laughter.

"As expected, you have nothing but an area of attack skill."

Crone thought that he would be able to catch up with just his speed. And the huge flamberge was doing a fine job in assisting him.

Clang, clang, clang!

However, a surprising accident suddenly occurred. The man in front of him was easily defending his attacks that were launched at a sharp and frightening pace.

But not long after, Crone found a gap between his defense.

Flash!

His flamberge was shrouded with a bright light as he stabbed Minhyuk's abdomen with his utmost efforts.

Stab!

"Do......!"

"Keheok?!"

Crone looked surprised as he felt a sharp pain tearing through his abdomen. Then......

"Connection."

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab━

"Keuaaaack!"

A scream tore out from Crone's mouth. However, he did not fall down even though he was thrown away.

"The others will be arriving soon. They're the best of our guild."

He grinned wickedly. But Minhyuk just nodded his head at him.

"Today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after that, the next and the next."

"......?"

"I'll keep on killing all of you."

Puhaaak!

Crone's body slowly fell apart. Then, Minhyuk looked back.

Puhaaa!

Blood spurted out from the body of a user who had blocked Kongie's flipper. But not long after, Minhyuk saw something.

"Quick!"

"Where is that daring punk?!"

Minhyuk's forehead crumpled when he heard the voices of the people running from the back.

At that moment......

Shwaaaaaaak!

A powerful whirlwind of energy began to shoot towards Minhyuk.

"......!"

'It, it's a strong force!'

Perhaps it was truly just like what Crone said. The elites of his guild had truly not arrived yet. It seemed like the fact that Crone was not the strongest in the guild even though he was the guild master was also true.

He could see a single man walking in front of a crowd.

"......"

He looked like he was wielding an extraordinary amount of power. And there were at least 40 guild members that were walking along with him.

Should I retreat?

The biggest reason why Minhyuk was able to kill Crone and his group alone earlier was because of Roves' Ring and the Lightning Millstone. Therefore, it seemed like he would be facing a bigger threat if he continued to fight here. Minhyuk even thought of using 'Mahava's Double Ring' to prevent an attack through the absorption skill. But at that moment......

"Fire pillar."

Puhaaaaaaa!

A huge column of fire rose from the ground and blocked the incoming attack that was fired at Minhyuk. Then, four people wearing black masks appeared from four different buildings.

The first attack captain of Bachran Guild who rushed over, the Lv434 Magic Swordsman Kielt, couldn't help being flustered after his attack was blocked.

'They blocked my skill in a single strike......?'

He frowned at the thought but his eyes widened when he saw the four people standing on the buildings.

"Th, the Four Hyenas?"

How come they're here?

The Four Hyenas were well-known for going crazy at the hunting grounds. They would go wherever there was a hunting ground. He was sure of that.

"My Flame of Justice can see through your heart!"

"My blazing heart is stronger and brighter than the sun in the sky! I'll show you the truth!"

"......"

It was clear to them that they were old men. And Minhyuk...... he was quite familiar with the voice of the person who had just summoned the pillar of flames. He couldn't help but speak unconsciously.

"Uncle Taesik?"

"......hing?"

"There's Uncle Changsik too, huh."

"Uhm?"

"......"

The Hyenas turned to look at Minhyuk in surprise. Then, Minhyuk laughed loudly.

These men were the presidents of Ilhwa Construction, Noddugi, Ilhwa Electronics and Ilhwa Distribution. They were the legends of the country's business community.
