Chapter 83: I’m Going to Tell My Noona About This.
Translator: ChubbyCheeks
PR: MattForgenti
[Step.]
[Quickly move to a distance of 1m.]
He was able to cover a distance of 1m in just a blink of an eye and in just two steps, he was already in front of Ruan.
[Battlefield’s Ruler.]
[There is a +10 increase in all of your 5 basic stats and a 10% increase in your critical hit rate.]
He first activated his title, Battlefield’s Ruler. The title effect would help him to deal with opponents that were 20 levels or higher than his level.
[Ellie’s Swordsmanship]
[All stats will have a 15% increase for 5 minutes.]
[Evasion rate has increased by 30%.]
[Fatal Strikes rate has increased by 30%.]
Wind started to surround his body along with a shining red light as it started to get filled with strength.
[Rampant Sword.]
[A flurry of rampant swords with additional 30% attack power will be created for 5 seconds.]
The pickaxe in his hands immediately turned into Ellie’s Sword. A flurry of afterimages could clearly be seen as he swung his sword with the Rampant Sword skill.
Fwooooooooooosh!
[You have dealt a fatal blow.]
[You have leveled up.]
Fwooooooooooosh!
Fwooooooooooosh!
[You have dealt a fatal blow.]
[You have leveled up.]
Several Iron Wolves were blown away with his one strike. They spurted out blood as they flew in an arc.
“Keureaaaack!”
“Keuaccck!”
An Iron Wolf quickly tried to launch an attack towards Minhyuk.
[Step.]
[Quickly move to a distance of 1m.]
He quickly moved back using Step and used the Rampant Sword to attack the wolves.
Fwooooooooooosh!
Another wolf was eyeing Ruan in the midst of all of the commotion.
After 5 seconds, the effect of the Rampant Sword slowly died down.
[Sword of Fury.]
[There will be an additional 50% for strong lunges and stabs, if a vital strike is successful then the additional attack power will be 80%.]
Minhyuk accurately stabbed the monster that was stalking and trying to kill off Ruan.
Stab!
He was able to easily stab through the solid iron fur of the Iron Wolves as he struck its vital points. His powerful stab easily dealt with the Iron Wolf and made its body explode.
Baaaaang!
Ruan’s eyes widened as his sight turned towards Minhyuk and the splattered remains of the Iron Wolf.
“H, how……”
“Heok……!”
They had no choice but to remain in shock. Minhyuk’s level was only at 90 while the Iron Wolves were at 150. In other words, his sword should not be able to even graze the Iron Wolves hide. However, from what they saw… Minhyuk could easily deal with the Iron Wolves. He did not even break any sweat.
‘It’s because I have been eating delicious food!’
Minhyuk had been continuously eating delicious food ever since the competition ended!
Previously, when he fought with the Minotaurus he had a 70 level gap with it but he was still able to fight it easily. Right now, there wasn’t that much difference between the level gap when he fought the Minotaurus or these monsters. In addition, he also had Ellie’s Swordsmanship which was an epic-level skill!
“W, who are you……”
Ruan tried to ask Minhyuk but he was suddenly frightened when he saw him walking towards his direction. His legs started to shake as he backed off trying to create some space between him and Minhyuk. He felt a strange sense of death as Minhyuk ever so slowly approached him that his legs even gave out.

“Hiiiik!”
Then, Minhyuk walked past him. That was when he realized that there was something behind him. It was none other than the mithril ore.
[You have acquired a Mithril ore.]
[You will be able to receive a special chocolate if you want to.]
‘Receive it!’
The moment he thought of receiving it, the surface of the mithril ore turned into a foil. What appeared under the foil was a box.
‘Oh…… Oh…… Oh……!’
He was a bit surprised with what he saw. This was because what appeared was a ‘Louis Chocolate’! However, he hurriedly stuffed the chocolate in his inventory.
‘I’m going to eat them later!’
He knew how to read the situation around him. Right now, he needed to work before he could indulge himself in chocolate.
First, he has to take the miners out of the mines safely.
“Let’s go.”
“Yeaah. R, right.”
“Okay……”
The miners nodded their heads as they followed Minhyuk out with Ruan. As they were walking towards the entrance of the mines they encountered a group of people coming in from the outside.
Suddenly, a gap formed and a person walked out grinning smugly at Minhyuk.
It was Brony.
***
Stab!
“Keuack!”
The Horden Guild quickly dealt with the NPCs outside the mines. Brony even killed the leader of the centurion.
[You are a Chaotic User.]
[Your Chaotic Disgrace has increased.]
[You are now being tracked and pursued by the Kingdom of Barras.]
He saw that the troops had been quickly dealt with.
“Keep the miners from getting out of the mine, the monsters will kill them anyway!”
The Horden’s Elite was composed of ten people. All of the mages, healers, dealers[1], and tanks were of excellent caliber.
Brony grinned as they walked towards the mines where the 5th mining team was located. He was going to deal with them first because Kang Minhyuk was there.
‘I’ll be able to kill that bastard in 5 minutes anyway. No, maybe he’s already dead?’
Well, his thirst for revenge wouldn’t be fulfilled but he might be able to get some good artifacts after all he looked like he was wearing pretty expensive items when he saw him back when he scouted the situation.
Brony and his companions, who were leisurely coming inside, saw people rushing out from the depths of the mines. Brony’s eyebrows creased.
“Th, they’re fine?”
“Huh?”
“What?”
According to what Card said, as soon as he plugged the key in, there would be a sudden influx of monsters with a much higher level than the normal monsters that existed in the mine. It shouldn’t be possible that this mine was an exception.
Then, it means that someone hunted them.
‘What exactly happened?’
He saw Minhyuk, who was walking in front of the group of miners, narrow his eyes as he looked at where he was.
Brony grinned wickedly at him.
“Long time no see?”
“……”
Minhyuk did not answer him and just quickly looked at him, his companions and their surroundings.
“Isn’t this situation a bit similar to the past? Of course, your numbers might have increased but they’re all luggage to you. Kggk.”
Minhyuk looked like he was pondering deeply, trying to recall what he was talking about.
“Ah, do I know you……”
“That’s right, you damned……”
“But I don’t remember you.”
“……”
“……?”
“You don’t know me?! I’m Lee Sangmin. Lee Sangmin, you know!”
“I don’t know you……?”
Brony felt both stifled and frustrated with his answers.

The memories of that dark history were deeply embedded in my mind, you know!
However, the main protagonist of his nightmare looked completely oblivious and puzzled at his words.
“You shit! You took my money in the past!”
“I did?”
But he looked like he still did not know about what he was talking about. His cluelessness prompted Brony to shout at him in frustration.
“That’s right. I even begged you to stop……”
Brony, who wasn’t able to stop himself in time, was shocked at himself. His guild members were still here but he shouted out his dark history just like that.
The members of the Horden Guild started to whisper among themselves as they looked at him skeptically.
“He said that he was robbed off of money in the past……”
“Based on his words, he sounds like he wasn’t that popular?”
“Uhmm…… Our Guild Master-nim…… Uhmm……”
“……”
Brony gritted his teeth.
“Hoo. Anyway. This situation is a lot different from back then, right?”
He grinned darkly.
This was a game. Just like in reality, you wouldn’t be able to knock down someone who has a much superior and excellent physical abilities compared to yourself. In addition, Minhyuk was someone who was below Lv100! He and his guild members were much superior to him in terms of level!
“Get him down on his knees and begging for his life in front of me!”
As he said those words, Ras stepped forward. He was one of the guild members behind him and he was a warrior class user. He’s at Lv160 but he was wielding a heavy axe.
“Yes!”
Ras couldn’t understand why he had to dig up old memories when they were already busy killing off people. He had to kill him off quickly so that they would be able to move on smoothly. Ras rushed towards Minhyuk.
‘He won’t be able to avoid this one since he’s below Lv100!’
He was sure that he wouldn’t be able to keep up with his speed.
And just like what he expected, Minhyuk was just standing there and not reacting to his attack at all. His axe struck down from the top to the bottom as if he wanted to hack him in two.
[You are a Chaotic User.]
[The other party will not receive any penalty for PK.]
[If you die, there will be a higher probability of dropping items.]
If his attack was not successful, then the notifications for chaotic users would ring for both parties.
“Step.”
Minhyuk mumbled something as his body quickly arrived beside Ras. He was so fast that there was even an afterimage left. Ras was only able to strike down the ground with his axe.
Bang!
[Sword of Fury.]
[There will be an additional 50% for strong lunges and stabs, if a vital strike is successful then the additional attack power will be 80%.]
Minhyuk’s sword that flashed red stabbed strongly at Ras’ waist.
‘You may be able to evade his attack with a skill but your difference in level won’t let you get past through Ras’ armor with your attack.’
Brony grinned widely as he saw the scene.
And at that same moment, Minhyuk’s sword pierced Ras’ sides deeply.
Shiiiiick!
His sword penetrated the full plate armor that Ras’ was wearing. Then, he felt a huge force coming from the sword and into his body.
Baaaaaang!
“Keuaack!”
Ras’ body flew sideways and slammed into the walls of the mines as the huge force exploded in him. He quickly checked his HP as he got embedded in the wall.
“My HP got…… cut off by 40%……!”
He looked completely shocked.
‘What?’
Brony looked at Minhyuk in surprise.
The monsters that came out…
‘Did he hunt all those monsters alone? How in the world can a Lv90 do that……!’
Brony had a bad feeling.
“All of you, go and kill him!”
When they heard his words, the guild members behind him quickly moved.
The mage Ero, a 4th class mage, used his Lightning spell.
[Lightning]
[10% chance to stun the enemies for 2 seconds.]
Ssszzzt, szzzzt, sszzzt!
The lightning flashed and slithered towards Minhyuk!
[Absorption.]
[You have a 50% chance of success or failure.]
[Lightning is successfully absorbed.]
[You can use the absorbed skill once within 10 minutes.]
Ssszzzt, szzzzt, sszzzt!
The lightning that was crackling menacingly was absorbed by the ring in his hands.
“Heok?!”
“Keok?!”
Everyone let out sounds of exclamations!
Then, Minhyuk stretched his hand forward.
[Lightning]
[10% chance to stun the enemies for 2 seconds.]
Ssszzzt, szzzzt, sszzzt!
“Keuoob!”
“Eooob!”
The classes who needed to get close to Minhyuk before they could kill him were caught within the radius of the lightning skill and were electrified.
[You have been stunned for 1 second.]
One user got stunned, and without missing a beat, Minhyuk quickly approached the stunned user to attack.
“Step.”
He quickly slashed at the stunned user.
[You have dealt a fatal blow.]
“Keoheob!”
The user was forced to step back due to the force of the attack. He was quite surprised when he saw his HP fell down significantly.
Minhyuk, not missing the stunned state, continuously launched an attack on the user’s head.
He was forced to logout!
“G, guild master-nim…… He, he’s strong?”
“What the hell is this……”
He looked like he couldn’t understand what was going on. However, he soon laughed.
“We will still be able to kill him.”
He was strong, but their strength was still enough to kill him.
At that moment, he heard the sound of footsteps coming right behind him. His guild members who were finishing off the miners from the other mines have arrived.
Minhyuk will die here no matter what.
His strength was a bit unexpected but he would still die.
At that moment, one of the miners crept down from the sides. Brony finally realized that there was something unusual.
“Stop that bastard!”
Leton moved fast as the guild members of the Horden Guild tried to stop him. At that moment, Minhyuk jumped in between them. Then, he stabbed the ground with his sword with all his might.
[Earth Quaker.]
[A violent earthquake is triggered within a 10m radius.]
“Eok?!”
“Heok?!”
The guild members who were running after Leton shouted in surprise.
“Shit. Are you a warrior, a mage or a blacksmith?!”
No. There is no character that can be good in swordsmanship, magic and even blacksmithing. What kind of situation is this?
Minhyuk, who pulled his sword out of the ground and stepped out of the radius of the earthquake, said…
“I’m a chef.”
“……”
Brony was left speechless while his guild members were stopped by the violent earthquake.
The miner that they were chasing fumbled on the wall and pressed down on something.
At that moment…
Ruuuuumble!
A huge transparent barrier came crashing down and blocked their way. It was like a wall that separated the guild members of the Horden Guild and the miners.
Thud!
They were completely blocked.
Brony, who was quite confident earlier, watched helplessly as Minhyuk hunted and killed off his guild members that were trapped on the other side of the transparent barrier. It looked like he was just cleaning up trash with how fast he disposed of his members.
‘Damn it. I didn’t know that there was a barrier like this!’
Brony was not aware of it, but that button would trigger the barrier. The barrier would close off entry to the mines after the troops entered to hunt and kill off the monsters. This was so there were no monsters that would escape and cause harm to the miners that were waiting outside.
Brony struck the barrier.
[You have dealt 1,701 damage to the barrier.]
However, it seemed like the damage that he had dealt was not enough to deal significant damage to the barrier. But, once he looked at it closely, it seemed like they would still be able to break down the barrier if they continuously attacked.
“Right now, more monsters will come out from there. You’ll have to deal with them alone. And once this barrier breaks down, you’re going to die. What are you going to do now?”
Minhyuk looked as if he was pondering deeply about the actions that he would take next. Then, as if he got enlightened, he hit his palms with his fist in a gesture of ‘Aha!’ and smiled widely.
“I’m going to tell my noona about this!”
“……”
“……”
“……”
Brony and his guild members who heard his words looked strangely at him. Then…
“Puhahahahahahaha! Noona? You’re gonna tell your noona?”
“Ahuhuhuhu. Are you going to tell your noona because you’re scared?”
“Keuhahaha, is your sister the number 1 in rankings?”
“She’s an NPC though? Are you disregarding my noona?”
“Keuhahaha. Aigooo, I’m so scared that I will pee myself. I can see your noona!”
“……You’ll regret it.”
“Aigoo. We have been very rude to your extremely scary noona. Sorry. Isn’t it obvious? Your noona must have been a fXcker like you who’s hiding behind his mask and pretending to be nice. So when is your noona coming? Huh? That fXcking noona of yours!”
Minhyuk looked blankly at Brony after he finished his outburst. Then he muttered to himself.
“You’ll definitely be sentenced to 1,000 years in prison. Poor thing……”
“Well, once your noona comes I will press her down with just a finger!”
Brony was quite confident with himself. Suddenly, one of his guild members asked him.
“But what will we do if it’s really some amazing NPC?”
Brony whispered to him…
“Amazing NPC? No, which NPC will let someone like that call them noona? Can’t you see his level? And don’t you know? The client I commissioned said that he was close to Marquis Calenon of the Kingdom of Barras. We also have a backing!”
“A, a Marquis……!”
It’s great to have ties to a Marquis!
The guild members who heard his reassuring words looked like a heavy weight was lifted off of their shoulders.
Meanwhile, Minhyuk rubbed the phoenix symbol on the back of his hand.

[1] Dealer: I think this meant players who could deal a shit ton of damage on an enemy. However, I am not really that sure since I am not that well-versed in gaming slangs. However, I saw that it was related to ADC so I believe that was what it meant.
