Chapter 736: God of Birth Gaerna
[You have eaten Vietnamese Rice Noodles.]
[Legendary Grade.]
[Your HP and MP have recovered by 50%.]
[All of your stats have increased by 17%.]
[Your skills’ cooldown has decreased by 20%.]
[Your Disaster Swordsmanship’s skill level has increased by +1.]
[You will be able to resist all kinds of poison and abnormal status.]
[The buff will last for four days.]
Everyone that ate the Vietnamese rice noodles that Minhyuk made were shocked.
‘This is a legendary grade dish…?’
‘The effects of a legendary grade dish are this great?’
‘This is crazy. Then, what will be the effects of a god-grade dish?’
To be exact, Minhyuk’s case was slightly special. Even though the grade of his dishes was not necessarily high, it would still be able to display greater effects and better power than similar grade dishes cooked by others. This was all thanks to the effects of ‘Food God’s Cooking Skills’ and ‘Extreme Trance’. In fact, although the dish that Minhyuk made did not reach god-grade, the ingredients were excellent. Hence, the effects were like that.
The 10,000 strong rankers stood around Minhyuk, who was the sole person that was releasing a red aura.
[The poison from the Parasitic Mosquitoes that infected and spread all over your body has disappeared.]
With the 17% increase in all of their stats, all of them could be said to be in their best condition. For global top rankers and NPCs at their level, that much of an increase meant that the power that they could display would be beyond words. That was not all. Even their skills, which could no longer level up, had increased in level.
‘This is the Food God’s power…’
‘Amazing.’
However, there was something that they had to do first before delving deeper into their admiration.
[The world’s best rankers and NPCs have gathered around the Alliance’s King, the Food God.]
[There are more than 50,000 Mosquito Knights flying at them with spears in hand.]
The Mosquito Knights all had wings and were bipedal creatures that were holding spears in their hands.
God of Archery Miao, who watched these mosquitoes charge toward Minhyuk, announced her attack, which would create a new legend.
“Tempest Shot.”
Vwooooooooooong—
With her strengthened and reinforced Tempest Shot, the attack flew and devoured an area of forty meter radius.
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack—!
The loud and violent sound of the air whipping around rang loudly as her arrow swept through most of the mosquito knights that were almost reaching Minhyuk. Immediately after that, Spear God Ben, with his fluttering black hair, sent his spear and stabbed the mosquitoes as hard as he could.
“Exploding Spear.”
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
A huge explosion occurred and forced the mosquitoes to fall out of the sky. Immediately after that, Alexander’s sword sprang from the ground and grew until it was forty meters in length, slaughtering all of the beings that it sliced through in one go.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The 10,000 best rankers and NPCs of the world unleashed all their skills without restraint, and slaughtered the mosquito knights. In just an instant, they were able to annihilate more than 60,000 mosquito knights.
[What amazing firepower, no?]
[No one among the 10,000 strengthened rankers received any damage even though they slaughtered more than 50,000 mosquito knights.]
[However, it’s still too early for us to be happy. Gaerna is still in a much better shape than we can hope for.]
Minhyuk immediately used the chat function of the ‘Alliance’s King.’
[Alliance’s King: Everyone, except for the 10,000 men around me, retreat to Faelbert Fortress’ underground area right away.]
Their enemies were over 600,000 in numbers. On the contrary, the Allied Army only had a little over 100,000 people left. Yet, he was asking them to retreat. However, Minhyuk had a good reason for doing so. This was because it would be very difficult for the 10,000 strong men to fight back if these people became parasitic soldiers too.
‘Take down and hunt a large number of enemies with the least number of allies.’ This was Minhyuk’s plan.
The 10,000 of the strongest rankers jumped in the middle of the ranks of the parasitic soldiers. Of course, Minhyuk also joined the battle. They displayed a shocking sight as they fought. The parasitic soldiers, which hundreds of thousands of soldiers had a hard time dealing with, were being swept away so easily.
Since the parasitic soldiers could not use any skills or magic, it was much easier for the rankers and NPCs that had grown much stronger, to deal with them. After all, they could use their skills, magic and artifacts properly.
Everything happened in an instant. The 10,000 cut down 50,000. Then, they cut down 100,000. But the impressive fact was that there were only less than fifty people that died.
[The people that we are watching right now are the world’s best and supreme existences.]
[There’s no way that the parasitic soldiers will be able to deal with them so easily, especially if they are pushing hard like this.]
[They’re even advancing and retreating appropriately to make sure that they don’t get exhausted quickly.]
[Amazing. It makes me want to fight alongside them.]
All of the viewers were in admiration. The best and strongest combatants, even though they numbered only 10,000, were not being pushed back by the hundreds of thousands of parasitic soldiers that surrounded them!
But then, Gaerna tilted her dragonfly’s head and looked at them intently.
“Kihyeeeeck?” Gaerna cried strangely, tilting her head to the left and to the right repeatedly.
“Kihyeeeeeeeck!”
Not long after, she clicked her disgusting mandibles.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
The parasitic soldiers that surrounded the strongest fighters began to explode one after another. They even jumped at the top rankers and NPCs before exploding.
“Keuaaaaaack!”
“Aaaaaaack!”
“Ugh!”
It seemed like Gaerna’s message was not yet over.
[Gaerna’s army exploded all at once, inflicting serious and heavy damages to the army sent by the Absolute Gods.]
[In just an instant, more than 200,000 Divine Army troops had died.]
This was obviously a power that allowed her to kill plenty of her enemies. Even so, Gaerna was hard to deal with because she had a lot of troops.
[The Absolute Gods had lost plenty of their troops but they believed that they could win.]
[Why? Because they had significantly decreased the number of their enemies.]
[However, with a whisper of ‘I’m hungry’…]
“I’m hungry.”
Giggle—
Gaerna’s dragonfly eyes were smiling as she eyed the rankers that were being swept away by the explosions.
“Uweeeeeeeck!”
Then, tentacles stretched out of her mouth and latched onto the bodies that had not yet completely disappeared.
Twitch, twitch—
The tentacles wriggled and twitched strangely, devouring the bodies and letting them flow into her body.
[Then, she said, ‘Delicious’.]
“Delicious.”
At that moment, Gaerna’s entire body began to swell and deflate repeatedly.
Twitch, twitch—!
Just like that, her entire body was reborn. Gaerna’s already strange body grew hard and tough, her eyes that resembled that of a dragonfly turning into that of a mantis.
Indeed, she was changing into a mantis. Even the wings on her back had started to change and turn into that of a cockroach’s wings. Her build also changed, turning into a 180 centimeter tall being with a very bulky figure. Her arms also turned as sharp as a blade.
“Hiyayayayaaaaaaah!” Gaerna breathed through her nose and released a very satisfied and refreshed breath.
[Gaerna has transformed into her complete form!]
[Gaerna will continue to devour those that she had killed!]
Everyone looked at her with bated breath. In fact, everyone had assumed that Gaerna only had one excellent ability and that was controlling her army. There were some that looked at her as if they could not believe what just happened.
“Kekekekekekekekeke!” Gaerna laughed maniacally as she looked at them through her mantis-like eyes. Then, she said, “Did you know?”
“…”
“You don’t? You don’t know how scrumptious you look right now?” Gaerna said, her voice hoarse and gritty.
All of the people present gulped dryly as they watched her lick her lips with her forked green tongue.
“I will enjoy this meal. Kekekekekekekekeke!”
Gaerna’s gruesome laugh echoed across the entire area, making everyone nervous. There was nothing that prohibited Gaerna from absorbing the powers if she had already absorbed once before. In other words, she could become stronger.
“Everyone, on guard…!”
Thump— thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump—
“…?”
“…???”
“…?”
Before Minhyuk could even finish his words, the heads of fifteen of the best rankers that were standing near Minhyuk fell on the ground. Gaerna’s message immediately followed after that.
[The Absolute Gods saw it clearly. The moment she disappeared, bright red blood began to spurt from the throats of their men.]
“What…!”
Thump— thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump—
The heads of their allies began to fall one after the other, even though Minhyuk had started to chase after her. Only after he had concentrated deeply was he able to see where she was.
It seems like Gaerna had developed the ability to use skills. Tentacles once again stretched out from her mouth and latched onto the dead bodies of the strong from one side to another.
Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp—
“Kyahahahahahahack! It’s so deliciouuuuuuus!”
Those that were still alive and dealing with the hundreds of thousands of parasitic soldiers turned to look at Gaerna, who had become even more powerful. All of their eyes were stained with terror and shock.
Rumbleeeeeee—
One hit of her blade-like arms and hundreds of the supremes’ heads fell down.
[In just an instant, Gaerna had killed plenty of the Divine Army’s troops.]
“Kiheheheheheheheck!”
Gaerna appeared right in front of Minhyuk.
“Protect Minhyuk!!!”
“Protect the Alliance’s King!!!”
If the Alliance’s King died, then everything would be over. Everyone tried to run to Minhyuk’s aid but the parasitic soldiers gathered around them and intercepted their path.
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—
One swing of Gaerna’s arm and Minhyuk’s body was slashed six times in a row.
Ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping—
“Keuhaaaaaaaaaack!”
[Your HP has dropped below 85%.]
The attack was very powerful and could neither be avoided or prevented. Of course, Minhyuk did not miss the time to open up the distance between them by using Like the Wind.
Twitch, twitch, twitch—
However, Gaerna came after him and swung her arms again, releasing dozens of invisible blades that hacked Minhyuk’s body.
“Keuaaaaaaack!”
Everyone fell into despair. Only two seconds had passed. However, in that short amount of time, the Alliance’s King was already brought to the brink of death.
“Sword of…”
Ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping—
Gaerna pushed Minhyuk even further before he could even finish using his skills.
“You. Are. The. Most. Delicious. Looking. One. Do. You. Know. That?” Gaerna spat each word with her creepy voice, a hideous grin curling on her mouth.
Spear God Ben could be seen rushing forward to try and help Minhyuk, who was already bleeding all over. However, Gaerna’s attacks were just too fast. All Minhyuk could do was hurriedly take out the Almond of Subordinates.
The problem was Gaerna noticed and had already restrained him. She did not allow him to do anything at all. He just sat there, his blood dripping all over.
“It’s the end…”
Someone’s whisper rang in the battlefield. Meanwhile, the commentators were left speechless while the viewers watched their screens with ugly looks on their faces.
[The Battle God hurriedly drew his own sword. He ended up fighting personally against Gaerna.]
Gaerna’s message reverberated in the area followed by her grating laughter. “Kihehehehehehehehehek! The Battle God will not come here. Kihehehehehehehehehe!”
[The Battle God sealed and locked Gaerna away.]
“No one will be able to lock me up now. Kihehehehehehehehehek!”
[One of the Absolute Gods, the God that rules and commands all of the armies, has spoken!]
“…Kiheeeek?”
Just then, a deep and majestic voice, a voice that none of the users or the viewers from all over the world had heard before, rang in the battlefield.
[You’re wrong.]
Gaerna could never forget the gruesome voice of the Battle God. As for the viewers, all of them held their breath at the booming bass that rang in their ears.
The Battle God’s greatest regret was the fact that he could only seal Gaerna and not kill her. As for Gaerna, she felt fortunate that she would no longer be able to meet such a horrible bastard. But now, that bastard’s voice was ringing in her ears.
[The brightest sun that has received my recognition.]
Flash—
The sky was torn apart revealing a man wearing a red crown and holding a red sword in his hands, with a white cape carrying the symbol of a fork and knife crossed together hanging on his back. Everyone knew who this man was.
The Red Sword Knights also stood by his side in the sky while glaring coldly at Gaerna’s army. The Red Sword Knights was a knight order that transcended even the Swords of the Gods. These powerful knights drew their swords out in unison.
[The strongest knight that has received my recognition.]
A torrential downpour of ten thousand sword lights poured down and swept away the parasitic soldiers as the Red Sword Knights swung their swords down.
Exploding with a red aura, Brod jumped down and struck Gaerna’s head with his sword.
[On my behalf.]
“Kihyeeeeeeeeeeeeeck!!!”
Staaaaaaaab—
The Battle God’s majestic and deep booming voice rang loudly in the world’s ears as Brod’s sword stabbed deeply in Gaerna’s head.
[He will bring punishment unto you.]
