71 Hungry Children
Conir grabbed his sword before swinging it as hard as he could. As soon as the sword was swung, dozens of black sword lights rained down on the guild members.
“Ghost’s Protection!”
“Jeffrit’s Giant Shield!”
“Whip Shield!”
The members of Legend Guild hurriedly activated their defensive skills. Dozens of ghosts appeared and blocked the way to Ascar with their shields while Locke slammed a huge red shield on the ground. Genie’s whip created a hexagram in the air as it formed a shield in front of her. Each of the guild members gave their all to defend themselves.
But something shocking happened. The sword lights that were heading straight towards the guild members suddenly changed directions. The person that it targeted was none other than Ali.
“......!”
“......!”
Each and every one of them were shocked.
A sword that changes its trajectory? This is the first time that I’ve seen something like this.
In addition, they thought that Conir was just a ‘thoughtless chimera’ but it seemed like that wasn’t the case at all. He even went so far as to remove Ali, the most dangerous person to him. This was because Ali’s one shot attacks were much more powerful than Minhyuk’s since Minhyuk’s Holy Power could not exert its full effects. The sword lights instantly appeared in front of Ali’s barrier.
Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwak!
The black sword lights began to strike at his barrier. Ali couldn’t help but look on in horror at the scene in front of him. And Conir even kicked the ground and moved.
Dash—
Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwak!
Blood spurted out from the bodies of the guild members that were in Conir’s vicinity.
“Keuaaaaaack!”
“Ack!”
The guild members received severe damage from his sword’s light swings. Minhyuk quickly narrowed the distance between them as he used Sword of Fury. His sword was surrounded by a bright red light as he aimed straight at Conir’s vital point.
Shwiiiiiiiiiik—
At the same time, Conir slammed his sword down on Minhyuk’s sword.
Bang—!
“......!”
It was a skill offset. Then, Conir’s sword quickly stretched towards Minhyuk. As soon as Minhyuk twisted his body to avoid the strike, the sword stretched in and on itself before digging on his sides.
Stab—
“Keuheuk! Too strong!”
Minhyuk was not the strongest as of yet. But he clearly had the potential to be one. He even won against the Olympic gold medalist Carr. However, he was helpless in front of the Slayer of Failure, Conir.
Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwak!
Minhyuk was easily pushed back by his fast attacks.
Then, the Slayer of Frustration suddenly lowered himself as he twisted his toes before spinning and brandishing his sword. As soon as he moved, dozens of blades spinned wildly. The spinning blades created a slight storm in the area.
Spin, spin, spin, spin—
“Rampant Sword!”
Minhyuk quickly used his Rampant Sword to counter and fight against the storm of blades that was in front of him. Dozens of afterimages fought against the storm of blades but Conir did not even miss the gap as he launched another attack. The tip of his sword was aimed straight towards Minhyuk’s chest.
“Mi, Minhyuk-ah!”
The guild members shouted in shock. Then, two black kitchen knives suddenly popped out from behind Minhyuk.
Hwaaaaaaang—
The two black kitchen knives formed a cross and protected Minhyuk’s vital point.
Clang!
Without missing that split second of reprieve, Minhyuk used ‘Like the Wind’ to increase the distance between them. Then, he hurriedly took out a chocolate bar from his inventory. He took it out so he could use his ‘Absorption Transition’ to restore his physical strength and HP. He had the potion that he received front he elves that could instantly fill his HP and MP back to 100% but since he had used it earlier, a cooldown was imposed.
Then, at that moment......
Consecutive punches with additional 180% attack power.
“Hell’s Red Flames!”
Exploding horses straight from hell.
A variety of skills flew straight towards Conir. However, not long after, notifications suddenly rang out to everyone who sent an attack towards Conir.
Right at that moment... Conir, who died at that same spot, suddenly appeared again in front of them.
“Heok!”
“K, Kill!!!”
“What the hell!!!”
It was clearly Conir who appeared in front of them. However, it was just a spiritual body. Then, Conir opened his mouth.
“......”
“.....”
“Wh, what’s happening?”
Everyone present in the area felt flustered. When he heard his words, Minhyuk quickly looked at the quest window.
‘Th, the chimeras were created from extreme and terrible hunger? What the hell?’
Hunger?
He did not know what they were hungry for. But there was one thing that crossed his mind. The humans had used hunger to create these chimeras.
‘What a stupid thing to do......’
His brows furrowed.
Asvon, the current Emperor of Cordis Empire, was known as the most powerful Emperor in the history of Cordis Empire. He was as powerful as Ellie. In addition, if Ellie was known to be a sword genius, then Asvon was known for his strong fists and sharp kicks. In fact, he was a talented person who could go toe to toe against Ellie.
Emperor Asvon had everything that he could have. But there was one problem.
“......Goddamn.”
He peeled off the wig that was covering his head and showed his shining bald head. It seemed like the middle of the top of his head was a dessert compared to the prairie at the sides of his head.
His biggest problem was none other than his ‘baldness’. His father, his grandfather, his great-grandfather and his ancestors were all bald. But all of them had worn wigs to hide this fact. The same was true for Emperor Asvon.
The absolute and unconditional problem that none of his ancestors had not solved for hundreds of years was none other than ‘baldness’!
There was no useful method at all. He already applied the blood of a troll on his head and even rubbed a phoenix’s feather gently on it but not a single hair had grown at all.
At that moment, his aide, Harman, came inside. Harman was the one and only person who knew about this secret. It was quite fortunate that Harman’s lips were sealed tightly. He would have slit his throat if he had heard him saying ‘His Majesty, the Emperor’s head is smooth, shiny and bald~’.
“Y, your Majesty......!”
“You did not even knock...... What a shame. Do you want to lose your head?”
Even if Harman is my aide, don’t I still need to protect this part of me?
Asvon was furious. However, what he brought was urgent news so Harman hurriedly opened his mouth.
“Y, your Majesty! I’ve found a way to cure your incurable disease!!!”
Of course, the incurable disease that he was talking about was his baldness.
“What?!!!!”
This was the curse that had been passed on for hundreds of years!
You’re telling me that you have the solution for this goddamn curse?
Harman continued to speak.
“It’s the Talmor Religion.”
“Talmor?”
For some reason, he felt that the name was quite unpleasant. However, Emperor Asvon heard about the miraculous story about a small town located in the Northern Continent.
Hearing that it was a small town, he did not look worried at all. He was already gracious enough to let the town lord and his town serve him. After all, they were still not the people from Cordis Empire.
“Quickly, send an invitation to the Lord of Valhalla and to that man named Talmor and bring them to me in person!!!”
“Yes!!!”
Harman moved quickly.
Emperor Asvon’s mouth twitched in joy at the thought of finally having the cure for his baldness.
