Chapter 253: Territorial Defense (Bottom)

Translator: ChubbyCheeks

PR: MattForgenti

Rufel was surprised.

‘With only fewer than thirty people……’ 

They had already hunted 1/6 of his troops. The decisive factor was Philip Village turning into a bunker. Despite the demons’ continuous attacks and arrows, they still could not leave behind any scratch on the bunker.

However, Rufel soon let out a derisive laugh. He gave his orders to the Slayer of Death.

Detonate.

They still had a lot of their numbers left. And that bunker would definitely fall under their hands eventually.

***

“Heok, heok, heok, heok.” 

“Keuheuk. It’s getting dangerous.” 

“Three of our guild members died now.” 

Once again, the members of Legend Guild who went out to hunt the mobs took their turn to come inside the bunker. They quickly took their potions and rested. Meanwhile, the 2nd team, Black Dragon and the Boys, also came back in. It looked like it was a push and pull battle but they had two additional guild members forced to log out. As their number decreased, the Legend Guild felt more and more pressure piling up on their shoulders.

[The Bunker has sustained 1,315 damage.]

[The Bunker has sustained 1,161 damage.]

The Legend Guild also saw the current status of the bunker’s defense.

[Philip’s Turtle Ship Bunker. 103,000/601,315]

They were still a long way from collapsing. At this rate, they could still last another hour or two. But at that moment, Ascar looked out and mumbled……

“Wh, what’s that?” 

“What?” 

Genie hurriedly stood up and looked outside following Ascar’s gaze. When she saw the scene outside, she couldn’t help but be shocked and appalled. 

She saw far bigger creatures than the exploding hellhounds that they saw earlier. In addition, the skin was not the hideous melted black from earlier but a shining silver. What was worse was that they looked like they were about two or three times faster than the regular hellhounds.

Dash, dash, dash, dash—

Hundreds of such creatures were running straight towards them.

“Kiyeeeeeeeeee!” 

Britney fired out a breath. However, only very few of them were killed.

“Stop them!” 

Black Dragon felt his gut tighten. He keenly felt something as he shouted loudly. The guild members launched a barrage of attacks. However, no matter how strong their attacks were, they weren’t able to damage them at all. They were only barely able to scratch them just like with the Silver Wolves earlier.

They were only able to hunt around one or two with their one-shot lethal moves. 

“Shit……!” 

Not long after, they leapt high up in the sky before sticking to the walls just like a magnet.

Stick, stick, stick, stick, stick, stick—

As soon as they got stuck on the walls…… They saw the Slayer of Death flick his finger from afar.

Flick—

Then, at that moment……

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

[The Bunker has sustained 16,313 damage.]

[The Bunker has sustained 14,615 damage.]

[The Bunker has sustained 11,316 damage.]

[The Bunker has sustained 19,625 damage.]

The bunker received constant damage. And……

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack—

An ominous sound began to ring loudly in their ears.

“It’s a real suicide squad……” 

“They even exploded on their own……” 

[Philip’s Turtle Ship Bunker. 513,000/601,315]

In an instant, the bunker’s durability had almost reached its limit. However, the hellhounds, from just now, were still running towards them.

‘If the bunker collapses…… We won’t be able to last 10 minutes……’ 

Every single one of them was exhausted. In addition, their wide-area skills were still under cooldown and couldn’t be used for about an hour. Because of that, they would be wiped out immediately.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Then, another explosion began to shake up the bunker.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack—

Cracks started to break out from their shields. Genie hurriedly fired the cannons. She wanted to hunt as many as she could before the bunker collapsed.

“Launch cannon.”

[Launching the cannon.]

[You have used 30,000 points.]

[Available number of uses 1/3]

Creak, creak, creak, creak!

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

The surrounding demonic beasts exploded. Once the thorns were recovered, she fired another shot of cannon.

“Launch cannon.”

[Launching the cannon.]

[You have used 30,000 points.]

[You have used the canon for 3/3]

[The cannon is no longer available.]

Then, at that moment……

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

Spider web-like cracks started to appear on the walls one by one. Not long after, the notifications went off.

[Philip’s Turtle Ship Bunker’s durability has run out.]

[It will be destroyed.]

“Everyone, take cover!!!”

The debris almost swept over the guild members. They moved quickly after hearing Genie’s command.

“Uwaaaaaaa!”

“Goddamn!”

“We’re fucked!”

Now, they would definitely die.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

***

When the bunker collapsed and a hazy smoke rose from the piles of debris, MC Jan felt despair.

‘N, no……’

The minority, Legend Guild, had shown everyone that they were really the best in their country. But the bunker collapsed and they would eventually be wiped out too.

Just then, a man flew on the black dragon. The Slayer of Death also summoned a bone dragon to face off against the man. The bone dragon was not just a normal bone dragon.

‘Bone Dragon Lord?’

Jan was a taming master so she could tell. She could tell that it was the most powerful dragon that was ever killed in history. Not long after, the ice dragon and the fire dragon fought fiercely to defend and protect their master. But they were easily knocked down by the overwhelming strength of the Bone Dragon Lord. And the Black Goat fell down on the ground.

However, even after he was knocked down, he just glared at the Slayer of Death and the Bone Dragon Lord with a stubborn and indomitable expression on his face.

Then, at that moment……

Voices from the ATV’s side were suddenly sent over to her ears.

[W, what’s that?]

[Heok!!! What’s that?]

[It, it’s an army!!!]

Jan turned towards the screen that was shown to her not long after. There, on the screen of a monitor, were 150 black horses running under the lead of two white horses. An elf was sitting on top of one of the white horses while a baby piggy wearing a red hat was on the other. Sitting on top of each of the black horses were 150 men. And it seemed like each and every single one of them were knights.

Not long after, a more surprising turn of events happened. A black mist began to flash behind the 150 troops. The black mist suddenly formed and produced soldiers wearing solid black armors, spears, swords and bows. The 150 troops of men soon turned into more than 600 soldiers.

Then, she heard another voice.

[The third camera!!!]

[Miss Jan, look at the 3rd camera!!!]

Jan turned to look at the screen that the 3rd camera was showing. She saw that something was shining brightly in the air. There was someone mysterious and unidentified falling down on the swarm of bone wyvern in the air. To be exact, he was falling towards the Bone Dragon Lord that was going to attack Black Goat. The man was carrying a very huge weapon.

Jan narrowed her eyes to confirm the weapon. When she saw the weapon, her eyes couldn’t help but widen.

‘F, frying pan?’

It was an extremely huge frying pan. The man, who was descending at a rapid pace, slammed against the Bone Dragon Lord who almost landed an attack on Black Goat. With his strength amplified by the gravity from his descent, a huge impact landed on the Bone Dragon Lord.

Baaaaaaaaaaaang—

The Bone Dragon Lord stuck to the ground. And in front of the man, two black kitchen knives surrounded him. The black kitchen knives stabbed through the enemies that flocked around him.

What was more was that the baby piggy and the soldiers devoured the demonic beasts along their way. Just like a tsunami, the demonic beasts were washed away and cleaned up. The troops displayed their enormous strength as they started to fight back against the enemies. 

Jan, the commentator, could tell who that person was. There was only one person who owned that frying pan. It was none other than the Food God, Minhyuk.

[Th, the Frying Pan Killer has appeared with hundreds of soldiers!!!]

At the same moment, PD Kim Daeguk, with his eyes wide open, asked the broadcasting station.

“F, Frying Pan Killer?!!! What’s the rating % now?” 

“35%. N, no. 37%. No……! It’s more than 40%!!!” 

“The ratings are growing extremely fast.”

“The number of viewers is increasing with word of mouth.” 

“This is the appearance of two users of our country who climbed the Hall of Kings!!!”

PD Kim Daeguk, with his shocked expression, was also able to see the Frying Pan Killer.

‘What the hell are those soldiers?’ 

The knights had the symbol of both the Cordis and Eivelis Empire.

But who are those unidentified men that came from the black mist?

Just as that question floated in his mind, another extraordinary thing happened.

They thought that most of the Legend Guild were covered under the rubble and forced to log out but there was a man coming out from the gaps. It was the Legendary Explorer, Rak. Rak who had the power to control gravity! His face was flushed as he supported the debris and remnants of the falling stones around him. He was doing everything with all his might.

“Keuaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Baaaaaaaaang!

Rak was able to clear out the rubble and pushed them out towards the mobs! Huge piles of stones and debris swept away towards the mobs in an instant.

“C, crazy……” 

Another gasp of exclamation came out from PD Kim Daeguk’s mouth. Their ratings still remained high.

“We’re over 45% in viewership ratings!!!” 

Well then, Frying Pan Killer. What are you going to do next?

Not long after, they saw him talking to Black Goat about something. Then, a voice was heard from a distance.

[Friiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeend!]

All the cameras were concentrated towards the source of the voice. There, they could see Black Mage Ali floating in the sky with his Fly as he smiled cheerfully at Minhyuk. The camera also zoomed in on his wrist. They saw a token ‘X’ drawn on his wrist.

‘What the hell? Minhyuk and Black Mage Ali know each other? This is a scoop! The two users in the Hall of Kings are close to each other?!’ 

At that moment, Minhyuk also raised his arm. Along with him, Black Goat and the Boys also raised their arms. And even the members of Legend Guild raised their arms hesitantly.

There was an ‘X’ clearly drawn on each and every single one of their wrists.

[Friieeeeend!!!]

[Frieeeeeend!!!]

[Friieeeeeeeeeend!!!]

PD Kim Daeguk gave up and laughed at them.

“I think it’s some kind of bullshit, but it looks cool……?”
