Chapter 514: God of Slaughter, Asura
[This is an unprecedented disaster! Asgan Continent’s catastrophe! Is there anyone that can stop this?]
Everyone’s faces turned ugly at the voice that rang from the smartphone’s speaker. The people gathered in front of a large electronic display at the center of Seoul and watched with bated breath. Asura’s Blood Carnival was about to descend. They watched as people ran away to live and survive. Then…
[Keuhaaaaaaaaaack!]
A rough and hoarse roar echoed out from the electronic displays and their smartphones, drawing everyone’s attention. The scene of more than a thousand undead dropping from the skies together with a lone man was unbelievable.
“He’s here…”
“He’s finally here…”
“The protagonist finally appears at the end.”
The viewers’ tense faces finally started to loosen.
***
Minhyuk, who was falling swiftly from the skies, was aiming for Asura’s head with the tip of his sword.
“Die, you f*cking bastard!”
In the end, Minhyuk’s sword struck Asura, who was about to cast the Blood Carnival.
Fwoooooooooosh—
[Continent Destroyer]
[The moment the sword gets stabbed on the ground, everyone within a 35 meter radius will incur an additional 500% damage from powerful shockwaves.]
[Lava will rise five meters from the ground and cause an additional 1,600% damage to anyone that it touches and will continuously incur additional 100% damage.]
Actually, Minhyuk had never tried using the Continent Destroyer on an individual, so he was unsure as to what would happen. Not long after, a wave stretched out from Minhyuk’s sword and covered an area with a 35 meter radius.
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaa—
“K, Keuhaaaaaaaaaack!!!”
For the first time, a scream broke out of Asura’s mouth. But the attack did not end there. Lava started to boil from within Asura’s body, his body swelling up until…
Crack, crack, crack, crack—
…it exploded into pieces and fell on the ground. Minhyuk looked up at the skies after watching Asura’s body turn into pieces.
“Kihyeeeeeeeeeeck!” Dragon Elder Velach cried out as he quickly descended and caught the falling Minhyuk, allowing him to ride on his back once again. The other man that rode on Velach’s back was none other than Death, the master of the Death Kingdom and the world’s greatest necromancer. One of the reasons why Minhyuk arrived late was because he went to pick up Death, who had expressed his willingness to join Minhyuk to join in this battle. Death was a top-ranker that surpassed Minhyuk when it came to a large-scale battle.
“It’s my turn now.”
Flaaaaash—
Death handed Luna, the hatchling, over to Minhyuk and jumped down.
“Huuuuuuuh?”
Just when everyone was looking up at them in concern and doubt…
“Kihyeeeeeeeeeeeck!”
…a gigantic Bone Dragon appeared in the skies and carried Death higher.
“Kihyaaaaaaaaaaaack!”
“Kihyeeeeeeee!”
Thousands of undead fell down on the Hell Warriors, controlling their movements and attacking their bodies.
Clack, clack, clack—
Without missing a beat, the Death Knights cut down the Hell Warriors. Death, who rose above with the Bone Dragon, also joined the fray. After seeing the Hell Warriors remain, Minhyuk realized, ‘It’s not over yet.’
Minhyuk knew that they needed another method. They needed strong allies that would not be pushed back by Asura.
‘…The dragons?’
Yes, that was right. There were dragons. They were standing in the rear and watching the situation. If the dragons joined the fray and allied with them, they might have a good chance of winning against Asura. Also…
‘Should I try feeding them?’
The dragons’ power has been reduced by 30% as a penalty for crossing to another continent. As for Minhyuk?
‘I have the trailer.’
Minhyuk had the trailer. The only problem was that he had never used it in a battle like this. And the conclusion that he came up with…
‘I have to get the dragons on our side.’
With that thought in mind, Minhyuk glanced at the pieces of Asura’s body that were already slowly gathering together.
“Velach.”
“Speak.”
“I wish to fight alongside the dragons against Asura.”
“That would be a bit difficult,” Velach said worriedly. He might be a dragon elder, but he did not have any authority to control these dragons. On top of that, the dragons were still under the misconception that Minhyuk was the ‘dragon egg thief’. Of course, that was half the truth.
Velach had only joined Minhyuk due to a very special circumstance. It was because he witnessed how Ghost Spear Ben and Minhyuk fought and questioned himself dozens of times if they were truly people that wanted to walk the path to destruction. Simply put, these two people had moved Velach’s heart. But the other dragons? They were completely unaware of their virtues and attitudes.
In just an instant, the other dragons had already gathered around Velach.

Team Leader Park Minggyu was finally able to return to the Special Players Management Team. He returned only to see Employee Lee Minhwa gulp dryly while watching Minhyuk on the monitor deal with this pressing situation. As she watched the dragons flock around Minhyuk, Minhwa remembered something and hastily turned to look at Minggyu and asked, “Team Leader, what rewards will they get if, by any chance, they sealed Demigod Asura?”
This was a thought that one could only wonder about. After all, no one had ever hunted an existence like that of a demigod.
“A reward with an astronomical value.”
“…”
Lee Minhwa pouted at the vague response. Regardless of the bland response, Team Leader Park Minggyu stared at the monitor for a very long time.
‘Can he do it?’
Minggyu wondered what Player Minhyuk was thinking, but they had no way of knowing. He also wondered if the dire situation would change with the addition of Minhyuk. Basically, it was right to think that Minhyuk was almost on par with Ellie. Of course, if they combined Minhyuk’s excellent artifacts to his power, then he would be able to climb to Ellie’s level of strength. Even with that power, it might still be tough for them to deal with Asura. But…
‘He’s a player that has made the impossible possible.’
Perhaps it was possible. As that thought crossed Minggyu’s mind, he turned to look back at Lee Minhwa and said, “Actually, I’m not too sure about the rewards that Demigod Asura will give. However, we can actually reference it with the regular rewards that would come out when someone hunts a demigod.”
Lee Minhwa perked her ears up and listened attentively.
“First. The player can choose the reward that they want the most.”
“Ah…” An odd smile hung at the corners of Lee Minhwa’s lips as she continued, “…if Player Minhyuk succeeds then he will be able to choose what he wants the most and eat the most delicious food?”
“That’s right.”
Team Leader Park turned to look at the monitor and said, “And perhaps…”
He looked at the monitor and watched Minhyuk start a conversation with the dragons.
“…perhaps he would be able to get something that could bring him closer to becoming a true god.”
***
“Elder Velach, why are you with this guy?”
“Are you crazy?! Why did you help him?!”
The dragons were furious. Velach was the one that led them here, so, they could not understand why he was with the man that stole the lord’s egg. One of the elders moved to attack him.
“There are some things that you need to know. First, they did not steal the egg. They just saw the Lord’s egg in front of their territory.”
“That’s ridiculous…”
“Do you think we’ll believe something like that?!”
The story was so ridiculous that no one would ever believe it. In fact, even Minhyuk would have said, ‘Hiyaaa~ Ah. You’re talking nonsense. Who would believe you if you said that you have picked chicken on the road?!’ if he heard it too. Besides, it was true that it was just something that Minhyuk made up.
However, there was a way to add credibility to his words.
“If you look at the Lord then you will also be forced to swallow those words.”
The dragons checked Luna’s status window right away and saw that she was not going on the path of destruction.
‘No, this is something that’s completely unbelievable.’
‘This is ridiculous! Did someone really bring the egg to their territory?’
‘Something that’s beyond common sense can really happen like that?’
The dragons could not bring themselves to believe it. They wanted to deny the reality in front of them and look at the situation first. After all, they were the ones that misjudged things on their own and dragged the entire Asgan Continent into this mess. Did they really have to take a step back in this situation and fight alongside the Food God? To fight against that Asura?
There was no other choice but to maintain their suspicions.
“We still can’t believe this.”
“Can we even believe something like this when you just simply told us like that?”
“Velach, are you telling us that Akhan planned all of this?”
Minhyuk, who was watching everything unfold, smiled widely as a trick came to mind, ‘Oho? I see. There’s that method too.’
Minhyuk thought of a way to make Akhan eat some big shit. If things went swimmingly just like he predicted, Akhan would be stepping in soon.
“Dragon Elder Velach, did you also eat the Food God’s food? It seems like you got brainwashed by him?”
Just like Minhyuk had expected, Akhan stepped in and turned Minhyuk into someone that could brainwash others with his food.
‘He’s truly meticulous.’
Then, Akhan said, “The Food God’s dishes can bewitch others. He has manipulated Velach with his dishes. Besides, Luna’s status window can be hidden with some vile arts. What he’s saying is completely ridiculous, no? I stole the dragon egg and planned all of this to happen? Ridiculous.”
“Nonsense! You’re trying to make me sound like someone that can be driven crazy with just food?!!!” Velach roared furiously. Even though Velach’s condition was perfectly normal, he was turned into a crazy dragon that had been bewitched by food. These statements had brought confusion to the dragons.
Then, Minhyuk suddenly turned to look at Luna, “Oh? It seems like Luna has something to say? How about we listen to her?”
Akhan and the sixteen dragons that surrounded Minhyuk focused their gazes at Luna’s mouth and waited.
***
Before Minhyuk logged out to ride on their private plane to go to America, Beanie had barged in Minhyuk’s office and dragged him out.
“Oiiiink! Oink!”
Quickly, listen to this! Oink!
Beanie looked at Minhyuk in excitement as he continued to drag him to where Luna was. Then, Beanie pointed at himself and asked Luna.
“Oiiiink! Oink, oink! Oink!!!”
Who am I? Oink!
“Kkiyeeee? Da… Kiiii… da.”
“Oiiiiiiiiiiink!”
Beanie grinned, hugging Luna tightly. Even Minhyuk was looking at the two of them happily.
“She just said Daddy, right?”
“Oink!!!”
As you can see, Oink!
Beanie smiled happily. He looked like Luna had given him the world. A fatherly smile unknowingly bloomed on Minhyuk’s face when he saw how happy Beanie was. At the same time, he also felt a bit disappointed. After all, Minhyuk was the one that was designated as Luna’s father.
“What about me? Luna, what about me?”
“Da… kkiiii…”
“Ahahahaha! That’s right, Luna. I’m your daddy!!!” Minhyuk said, hugging Luna happily.
“Oiiiink! Oink!!!”
I’m daddy! Oink!
Beanie placed his paws on his hips and looked at Minhyuk grumpily. Not long after, Elpis arrived.
“How about that guy?”
“Da… da.”
“…”
Then, Minhyuk pointed at Locke.
“How about that one?”
“…”
Strangely enough, Luna did not say anything when he pointed at Locke. But when Genie came…
“Da… da.”
That was right. Luna was practically calling everyone her daddy. It was completely ridiculous but back then, Minhyuk just smiled happily and enjoyed the situation. He did not expect that Luna’s words would become a great help to them later.
***
The more than sixteen dragons, who were conflicted between Velach and Akhan’s words, turned to look at Luna, focusing on her mouth and the words that she was about to say. Then, Minhyuk whispered to her, “Luna, who’s that guy over there?”
The one that he pointed at with his chin was none other than Akhan.
Luna opened her mouth and said, “Kkiiiiii… Da… da…”
Every dragon had been focused intently on her words, some even gulping dryly in tension. And finally…
“Daddy!!!”
At that moment, all of the dragons turned to look at Akhan, their expressions slowly twisting into that of anger and fury. If anyone saw Akhan behind his skull mask, they would have seen cold sweat drip down his forehead.
“F*ck.”
