Chapter 229

Min Sung clenched onto his Gungnir as he watched the power gather around Pheus’ hands.

He was definitely different.

He could sense his elevated level of power compared to that of the lowest ranker, Oden, even before the battle started.

The power gathering around Pheus’ hands made Min Sung slightly nervous.

Whirrrr!

Even before the Aura was launched, the great power caused the ground to shake and the mud and rocks on the ground to swirl around in the air.

The tension began to elevate before it caused a collision.

Min Sung and Pheus shortened the distance between each other.

They weren’t running toward each other but simply keeping their distance in check.

The battle then began.

Pheus stuck out his hand surrounded by magic power.

And when he did, what looked like a whip made of metal appeared in Pheus’ hand.

That whip made of metal contained the great power of an Aura.

The metal whip wrung around like a snake before charging toward Min Sung.

Swoosh!

Min Sung dodged the metal whip and took a step backward.

If he had chosen to attack and took a step forward, the metal whip would have wrapped around his body.

It had a complicated structure, and the force was so great that he couldn’t make any rash movements.

He had to grasp the space around him and look for a way in.

While Min Sung thought it through, Pheus unleashed his attacks so that he wouldn’t miss his opportunity at an advantage.

The metal whips from Pheus’ hands moved quickly and systematically.

Swoosh!

Whoosh!

The two metal whips charged toward Min Sung’s pressure point like a venomous snake.

It was a short time, but Min Sung had already thought up a strategy of how to fight against Pheus.

Min Sung’s eyes flashed as he moved according to the two metal whips that were charging toward him.

He moved so smoothly that it looked slow, and the weapons from Pheus’ hands strangely went right past Min Sung.

Min Sung moved in a semi-circle and charged quickly at the empty space he spotted.

At the same time, Min Sung let go of his Gungnir.

The Gungnir flew at a surprising speed right into Pheus’ side.

Pheus’ eyes jolted as he quickly grabbed for the Gungnir that stabbed through his side.

“What a strange skill you use…”

Pheus laughed despite the excruciating pain.

But as soon as Min Sung raised his hand and unleashed his magic power, Pheus could no longer maintain the smile on his face

As soon as magic power flowed out of the Gungnir on Pheus’ side, he felt as though his blood vessels were going to burst.

In the end, Pheus took the sword out of his body himself.

Meanwhile, Min Sung stood right in front of Pheus.

When they met eyes, Pheus’ eyes opened wide.

Min Sung’s fist struck his chest.

Pow!

Along with the sound of bones cracking, Pheus body flew over to the ground and rolled.

Min Sung then flew over and summoned his Gungnir back into his hands.

Min Sung walked toward Pheus with his Gungnir in his hands.

Pheus shed blood as he took a potion out of his item window and drank it with trembling hands.

Min Sung stared down at Pheus, who was drinking his potion in desperation and gestured with his finger to tell him to get back up.

Pheus’ face flushed out of humiliation.

He stared at Min Sung with evil eyes and reached out his hands.

Swoosh!

Whoosh!

Dozens of sharp weapons appeared out of Pheus’ hand and charged toward Min Sung.

Practice time was over.

Min Sung clenched down on his teeth and swung his Gungnir.

Kaboom!

The magic power resembling white lightning that was formed by Min Sung’s Gungnir shattered into a million pieces.

In response to the white light, Pheus’ pupils dilated and his jaw dropped.

What happened next was clear as crystal.

Pheus’ body was ripped wide open, causing his body to be in tatters.

“… You’ll pay a huge price… for what you’ve done…”

Pheus was unable to finish.

He had already died.

While Min Sung stared down at Pheus, Bowl crawled out of Min Sung’s pocket.

He then reached out his hand toward Pheus’ body.

As a result, a new sight unfolded before Min Sung’s eyes.

Bowl didn’t cast his Undead Spell on Pheus but was using another black magic entirely.

Since he had kept his eye on Bowl for quite some time now, he knew very well what it looked like when Bowl used his Undead Spell.

And as expected, an exclamation mark appeared above Bowl’s head when the black magic was successful, and Bowl snickered and jumped up and down in joy.

“What did you do?” Min Sung asked.

In response, Bowl answered with an action.

As soon as Bowl reached out his hand, chains made of bones appeared from his hand like it did for Pheus.

It clearly had just as much power as that of Pheus.

While Bowl snickered…

Countless messages of awe began to appear from the Dionysus Gods.

One god even poured all of their experience points on him as a form of investment.

But that was only possible because that god had little experience points compared to the other gods.

However, Min Sung perceived the experience points to be a lot, and some of the gods grew agitated in response to the huge investment.

But he didn’t care.

Min Sung just wanted to leave Beatrice.

[You are now a low-ranking ranker.]

Once Min Sung saw that message, he walked away from Pheus’ body.

***

On their way back to the hostel.

Ho Sung Lee reported that he safely rescued all the people that were captured to be sacrifices.

And as soon as they got back to the hostel, Min Sung ran into the boy who asked for his help as well as his mother.

The boy looked up at Min Sung with twinkling eyes and expressed his gratitude.

“Thank you so much, Sir!”

The boy, Alfie, thanked Min Sung, and so did Alfie’s mother.

Min Sung gave them short responses and went back inside.

Ho Sung Lee messed up Alfie’s hair with his hand out of affection and then followed Min Sung.

“Should I begin preparing dinner?” Ho Sung Lee asked.

“I need to rest first. You rest, too. And then look into how we can get to the inner continent.”

“Yes, Sir. Rest well.”

Min Sung walked up the stairs to his room.

Meanwhile, Ho Sung Lee sat down at a table on the 1st floor and took out a paper and pen from his item window.

Ho Sung Lee began to contemplate what to make for dinner.

Before he looked into a boat, he had to decide on the menu first.

***

He took a short nap.

Min Sung took out Bowl from his pocket and ordered him to call Ho Sung Lee.

A moment later, he heard a knock, and Min Sung opened the door with a wave of his magic hand.

Ho Sung Lee and Bowl came in together.

“Did you call, Sir?” Ho Sung Lee asked while wiping off the water on his hands.

When Min Sung’s eyes focused on the water on his hands, Ho Sung Lee immediately responded.

” I was preparing some ingredients.”

Min Sung nodded.

“Let’s eat. How long will it take?”

“15 minutes. I’ve already started preparing.”

“What about the boat?”

“I already secured one. The best one they have.”

“Good work. I’ll go down soon.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Ho Sung Lee left the room.

Min Sung cracked his back and then checked his experience points.

He currently had +50,000 experience points.

It was all thanks to that one god, but how could he spend it so that they would praise him on how well he spent it?

He bought expendable items, but he didn’t have to use them just yet.

While Ho Sung Lee prepared his meal, Min Sung looked in the shop to see what else he could purchase.

And while scanning through many items, he came across something called ‘8 Divination Signs’.

8 Divination Signs was an item that would stop the Iris tree on earth from growing.

‘I can buy this item?’

Min Sung’s eyes sparkled for a moment, but it was just temporary.

That was because the price was too expensive.

150,000 points.

So from Min Sung’s point of view, he couldn’t help but contemplate.

He could buy the 8 Divination Signs and stop the Iris tree from growing for a moment, but it was too expensive.

It was possible that getting stronger, becoming the 1st ranker, and going back to earth was a faster method.

In the end, he had to contemplate between the two paths.

But Min Sung also believed that there had to be a good reason why the 8 Divination Signs cost so much.

There was no way they made it so expensive for no reason.

Rather than using his experience points to purchase items in the shop, Min Sung decided to collect his experience points in a type of savings.

He thought it was best to start moving once things became a little more certain.

Min Sung made his decision and got up.

He could already smell what Ho Sung Lee was cooking from outside the door.

Min Sung went down to the 1st floor restaurant with a smile.

“It’s all ready.”

Ho Sung Lee smiled as he pointed at the dishes on the table.
