Leveling Up Through Eating

Chapter 906

Then, there was also CHA. The players have acknowledged that CHA was the trickiest stat to increase. Because it was a particular stat, simple SP could not increase it. CHA could only be acquired by exemplary leadership or making various achievements.

Hence, Minhyuk did not want to use this skill as much as possible. However, there were exceptions.

I am willing to use this skill when the rewards are amazing enough to offset the permanent destruction of my CHA and EXP.

This situation was exactly that. The difficulty level of the Fortress of the Transcendentals Fantasy had been increased, and because of that, the rewards were much better than normal.

If I can hunt more than 150,000 monsters, the rewards will grow even better.

A total of twelve people appeared around Minhyuk after the flashing lights disappeared. Minhyuk quickly averted his eyes when he saw the shabby armor, helmets, and torn and ragged cloaks on their body.

There was another reason why Minhyuk refrained from using the Battle Gods Immortal Knight Order.

Ill have to trouble my busy hyungs, noonas, and uncles

He knew this and was very grateful they responded to his summons. However, all these people were arrogant, and gathering them in one place was challenging. After all, they often kept each other in check whenever they gathered. Minhyuk understood that fact perfectly. Thankfully, Minhyuk thought of a trick.

Since the strong had gathered together, they must all be curious about one thing. They must be wondering who is more special and stronger, right?

Yes, that was right. They were all curious about that, but they were all very frustrated because they could not fight it out. But now, they were given a perfect opportunity to find out.

Fufufu. And its also a chance for me to be able to hunt more monsters.

How about we decide right here and now who the most superior is?

And it was just right in time. Their frustration almost reached its peak, evident from their continued glancing at each other.

Who is strong? Who is special? Minhyuk asked, hoping someone would say something to follow up.

And just like he expected, someone opened their mouth and said, Minhyuk. Dont ask the obvious.

The one that spoke was the soldier with a slight build, Sword Emperor Ellie.

Everyone here must have already known who is the most special and strongest, no? The voice sounded very confident that it was him.

Then, a powerful and deep male voice rang, Thats right. Everyone should know whos the most special. Fufu.

The one who spoke was a man of great stature. He was the man who built a kingdom of his own, the Overlord Raldo.

Then, someone else said, Thats right. Everyone here should know.

Everyone believed they were the best, strongest, and most remarkable.

Well, you guys dont need to tell me. You should know that Mother Athenae loves me the most, right? Saintess Loyna said.

After speaking their mind, they began to keep each other in check. That was right. In the end, they believed themselves to be the most special. Someone scoffed.

Hoho

They asked each other how they could not know this while exchanging incredulous looks.

And this was an opportunity. And who was Minhyuk? A man who always took advantage of all the opportunities presented before him. He said, Then lets settle it here once and for all. Lets decide whos more special and whos stronger. The one that kills the most monsters here is the strongest and most special.

Okay, lets do that.

Well, thats not too bad.

Alright, lets try that. Wait for a bit.

Minhyuk realized that it would be much easier than he thought. The powerful and frustrated Immortal Knights would give it their all. As the monsters got closer, Minhyuk raised his sword and said, Destroy.

When his words ended, a woman stepped forward and led the way.

Swish

With a flick of her hair, the woman with the smallest stature made her move.

Show em, noona!

Minhyuk knew better than anybody else how talented Attention Seeker Emperor Ellie was.

This is fun.

Ellies talents were ridiculously absurd. Except for Sword God Valen, no one was more special than her among those present. After thinking about it, she was the person who refused the position of Sword God Descendant. And that was not all; she was the emperor with the power to unite the entire continent.

You think youre more special when Im this type of person?

Thud, thud, thud, thud

With her shabby armor and weapon, Ellie took one step after another. And right in front of her? There was a herd of Level 540 Raging Water Buffalo charging towards her.

Raging Water Buffaloes had high HP and mainly used their bodies to slam into their opponents, dealing massive damage. However, they were challenging to deal with because they attacked their opponents in herds. Each herd tended to have at least fifty. But now? The herd had around 2,000 Raging Water Buffaloes charging forward.

Ellie slowly raised her sword and swung it down at the Raging Water Buffalo which was leading the herd of water buffaloes.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash

At that moment, the leading water buffalos body was torn and ripped all over, blood spurting all over the place. But it was not just the foremost buffalo; more than a thousand Raging Water Buffaloes fell and made blood rain.

With the herd of Raging Water Buffalo falling, the monsters charging from behind got tangled up, losing their balance and falling. Seeing this, Ellie began to run.

I am the most special!!!

Several hundreds and thousands of monsters fell wherever the running Ellie passed by.

[You have 1,725 monsters.]

[You have 543 monsters.]

[You have 15 monsters.]

Minhyuk was delighted when he heard the notifications constantly ringing in his ears. After a moment, another person stepped forward.

The one that hunts the most monsters will be standing at the top.

He chuckled at the young mans childishness. Even if he found it childish, he still wanted to show off and prove that he was the superior one among them. With a slight smile on his face, blazing flames shot out from his sword.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The man pointed his sword and shot the raging black flames towards the enemies charging at him.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

In the blink of an eye, more than 10,000 monsters were devoured by the black flames and disappeared. Then, one of the knights jumped over the giant man who shot the blazing flames. The man was as huge as Overlord Raldo, and this very same man held a gigantic greatsword as he leaped to the skies. This man was none other than the king of millions of mercenaries, Venteio.

Mercenarys Pinnacle Swordsmanship.

A roar resounded.

The manifestation of the sword attack differed between Brod and Mercenary King Venteio. If Brod used the attack, hundreds of wolves would appear. And if Venteio used this attack, a huge and powerful bear would appear.

Final Chapter.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!

The sword attack looked like the bear swung its front paw down. The thick and massive sword lights fell and destroyed the monsters.

[You have hunted 42,313 monsters.]

[You have hunted a total of 60,000 monsters so far.]

[A total of 1 minute and 43 seconds have passed.]

One of the soldiers smiled as he watched the monsters being swept away at a tremendous pace.

The most outstanding race is the elven race.

The soldier was none other than the Elven King, Argon. He readied five arrows on his bow and released them all at once. The arrows flew straight towards the monsters. The moment they landed? The arrows exploded.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

However, a gigantic eagle swooped down and tried to attack him with its beak.

Oops. Argon quickly escaped the eagles beak, grabbed its legs, and climbed on its back.

Kihyeeeeeeeeeek!

Argon, who grabbed the eagles leg, centered himself on its back and flew to the skies. Then, he began to shoot his arrows like crazy. He could shoot three arrows per second, accurately landing on the enemies and killing them in the process.

One of the soldiers abandoned her sword, put her hands together, and took one graceful step forward after another.

A variety of monsters appeared in this place, and, of course, some of them released demonic energy. They were the undead and beings from the demon world, around 24,000 of them present. Seeing the defenseless soldiers, the undead and demons immediately charged at her.

Saintess Loyna looked around her and prayed, Mother, please give me the power to protect myself from evil.

At that moment, a bright light shot out from Loynas gathered hands. The moment the bright light came into contact with the undead and demons, their flesh burned and turned into ashes.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A soft, gentle smile appeared on Loyna as the evil before her burned. It looked just like a movie scene.

[You have hunted a total of 80,000 monsters so far.]

[A total of 2 minutes and 12 seconds have passed so far.]

Keuhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

Then, at that moment, a loud roar rang loudly.

[An Armored Ogre has appeared!]

[Armored Ogre. Level 617.]

[The gates level of difficulty has increased. The Armored Ogre has gotten 10% stronger!]

Ten giant ogres, with iron-like skin and not their normal green skin, appeared with axes in both hands.

Armored Ogres had tough skins and high HP. And with their axes in hand, they were also given an extreme, destructive power. They were monsters that would only occasionally appear on the continent. Usually, it would take at least ten players at Level 550 to hunt such a monster. And it would take around five to ten minutes before they could take them down.

This very same monster had become ten percent stronger. In other words, it would need at least fifteen Level 550 players to hunt it. The problem was that they were unable to do average damage.

They were huge enough to reach six meters, but two people immediately charged forward and simultaneously attacked one of the armored ogres. One of them ran towards its legs.

So noisy.

The one that charged at the ogres legs was Mercenary King Venteio.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaang

With one swing of Venteios greatsword, he cut off the knee of the sturdy and tough Armored Ogre.

Thuuuuuuuud

Kihyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Sword Emperor Ellie leaped up and cut the head of the screaming ogre, which had lost its balance and fallen.

Thuuuuuud!

[You have killed an Armored Ogre!]

It took three seconds and two people to hunt a boss-class monster, and at least ten players at Level 550 could only take it down after five minutes or more.

Baaaaaaaaaaaang

At that moment, hundreds of arrows fell from the sky and shot towards the Armored Ogres neck. The arrows constantly attacked the Ogres relatively weak neck area, eventually causing it to collapse.

Boooooooom

Then, Overlord Raldo moved and cut off one of the ogres Achilles tendons, forcing it down as he removed its head.

It only took two seconds.

Saintess Loyna, triggered by Raldos words, immediately gathered her hands in prayer and looked up at one of the gigantic Armored Ogres.

Please put the sword in the heart of thy enemy.

Then, dozens of swords covered in dazzling white light shot from her hands, stabbing the Armored Ogre and killing it.

[You have completely hunted 150,000 monsters!]

[A total of 3 minutes and 37 seconds have passed so far!]

[You have broken the record of the Combat Class Gate of the Fortress of the Transcendentals Fantasy.]

[As a reward for breaking the record, your stats will increase by 1%, and your CHA will increase by 2%!]

[You have gained 1,000 REP.]

[You can keep on doing the trial.]

[If you continue the trial and say Summon Monsters, you will summon 20,000 more monsters!]

...

...

The transcendentals were all left speechless when they saw the scene that unfolded in the crystal ball.

No. Whats this

The Albraim Race was unique. They once lived among humans and stood above everybody else. However, the ones Minhyuk summoned were strong enough to match themselves when they first entered the fortress.

Those guys are humans, right?

Thats right. They arent born with special blood like us.

He broke Benders record way too easily.

This

It was pretty funny. They were born with a power that could rival even the gods; that was why it was amazing to see humans born with ordinary bodies fight like that.

But then, Nekk, who was dripping with cold sweat, said, However, do you know whats more surprising?

Nekks gaze was fixed on the crystal ball, and he looked at the man standing silently amidst all the fighting.

He hasnt made any move yet.

...

...

All of them let out a groan. But then, a voice suddenly rang in their ears, leaving them in shock.

[Summon Monsters.]

[Summon Monsters.]

[Summon Monsters.]

[Summon, summon, summon, summon, summon, summon, summon, summon]

Monsters were constantly being summoned. The total number of additional monsters that showed up was around 200,000. Finally, he began to move.
