Chapter 275

***

The army that the 12 signs sent were made up of the Undead, which consumed two-thirds of their power and skills.

There was no better way to check Min Sung Kang’s fighting ability than to use these killing machines.

The 12 signs held their breath and waited for the battle to unfold between their Undead forces and Min Sung Kang.

Through this battle, they had to understand just how powerful Min Sung was.

If it was discovered that he was much more powerful than they expected, they would have to discuss their next steps in excruciating meetings.

The ideal scenario for the 12 signs was for Min Sung to die in the hands of their Undead forces.

But they didn’t even expect that much because they didn’t think it was possible.

The important thing was to estimate his power.

Even if Min Sung Kang won, if he suffered any harm, that would be an effective outcome for them.

The 12 signs hoped for the ideal scenario to take place as they focused on the video footage of the soon-to-come battle.

***

Min Sung watched the disguised soldiers and cracked his joints.

After loosening up his body, he turned his focus on the army.

The army was walking over with confidence as if they had nothing to fear.

Min Sung intended to use a great deal of his force this time.

He didn’t have any time to waste.

It was important that he settled things as quickly as possible.

He had to make things sweet and simple.

He couldn’t forget that he was limited on time.

He would end them in one go.

Smoke radiated from Min Sung’s eyes, and the Gungnir S that he held in his hands gave off magic energy.

Vrrr, vrrr, vrrr!

His Gungnir S made ringing sounds as if it was itching to move out.

Min Sung glared at them with an explosive energy and used his special skill.

As soon as his command fell, his starving Gungnir S charged like an animal.

Slashhh!

Swoosh!

The Gungnir S flew over and landed right in between the soldiers.

And then…

Min Sung’s magic energy exploded.

Kaboommmmmm!

As soon as the ghosts of the 12 signs got swept away from the magic energy, Min Sung charged in.

In a matter of seconds, Min Sung took his Gungnir S from the ground. It spun around in the air and swung his Gungnir S.

Kaboom!

Along with thunder and lightning, the magic energy wiped out the army.

They were no different from high-level monsters produced by the 12 signs, but compared to Min Sung’s power, they were nothing more than just tin cans.

Min Sung got rid of the 12 signs’ ghosts easily.

Every time he swung his Gungnir S, the ghosts’ armors were ripped to shreds.

From in between the ghosts, Min Sung became a tornado and proceeded to swallow them up whole.

***

“… I can’t believe this.”

Except for one of the 12 signs, everybody gasped without a word.

The way the 12 signs saw it, Min Sung was powerful enough to be one of the top 10 ranking players in the inner continent of Beatrice.

Cold air and silence filled the meeting room of the 12 signs.

***

Min Sung breathed heavily, but he was okay other than that.

Min Sung caught his breath and looked around him.

There wasn’t a single Undead soldier who was still moving and alive.

The Undead army of the 12 signs was wiped out on the ground.

Every time Min Sung walked, pieces of armor and bones hit his shoe.

He looked around to make sure everybody was dead and they were.

Upon confirming that fact, Min Sung put his Gungnir S into his item window.

At that moment…

The Dionysus Gods shot him messages.

[The Dionysus Gods are amazed by your hidden power.]

[The gods would like to gift you with points.]

[You received experience points.]

[Your reputation is rising.]

[You are now able to battle the 12 signs.]

[Upon defeating the 12 signs, you will qualify to fight in the reputation war with all players in the inner continent.]

Min Sung nodded at the system messages.

Since he was now able to participate in any war, he was going to be able to climb the ranks at a higher speed.

“Sir.”

Ho Sung Lee stood behind Min Sung with Ssol and called his name.

“We’re heading out,” Min Sung said while looking in the direction of his destination.

“Right now? But you need a break just in case something else comes up later,” said Ho Sung Lee in a worried voice.

“It doesn’t take long to recover. We have to move quickly.”

Min Sung put Bowl in his pocket and began running.

Ho Sung Lee watched Min Sung take off and followed behind him.

He then looked behind him.

They were just a type of monster, but when Ho Sung lee first saw the army, he was very afraid.

They were not to be underestimated, but Min Sung managed to wipe them all out in a very short period of time.

It wasn’t that he didn’t see it coming, but Ho Sung Lee was certain as he watched Min Sung’s backside.

Min Sung Kang was disturbing Beatrice’s ecosystem.

***

The silence lasted a while.

Not a single 12 sign could open their mouth.

That was how serious the situation was.

Meanwhile, the man, who was leading the meeting, opened his mouth.

“This is going to be harder than we expected. If that new player fights us…”

The man dropped his head.

“We will die.”

“Even if we can win, we will suffer great harm, and since many are targeting our land, we’re in big trouble.”

“Didn’t you say we had a countermeasure for this situation? What is it?”

All 11 robed people stared at the man in a robe.

He took off the hood from his head and let out a long sigh.

He then looked up and opened his mouth.

“We must break the taboo.”

In response to the man’s remark, the other signs’ faces stiffened up.

They all knew what he meant by that.

“It’s not favorable, but that’s our only choice.”

The signs’ faces turned serious, but not a single person refuted.

That was how serious the situation was.

Even if they had only poured two-thirds of their magic energy into the army, meaning they were weaker than the 12 signs, they still possessed a great deal of magic energy.

But a new player who wiped them all out appeared, and he was so fast that it was scary.

The burden of this reality was beyond the 12 signs’ imagination.

It was time for them to make a decision.

It was dangerous to break the taboo, but it was the most effective.

It was the only way to resolve the issue without shedding blood.

“We don’t have much time.”

The man who led the meeting spoke.

It was a long contemplation, but their determination couldn’t win over time.

They eventually decided to break the taboo, and the 12 signs immediately left the meeting room.

Since the plan was made, it was time to carry it out.

***

Min Sung’s party arrived at their destination which included 12 cities managed by the 12 signs.

There was a small number of people in the village, and in order to enter the first city, Horn, they had to pass through a large gate.

As Min Sung walked toward the entrance guarded by soldiers, he figured they would stop them from entering.

But as soon as they saw Min Sung’s face, they didn’t bother checking his identity and allowed him to pass through the gate.

“It seems like they know us,” Ho Sung Lee said from beside Min Sung.

But Min Sung didn’t mind it and continued to walk through.

Ho Sung Lee continued to keep his guard up as he glanced around the village.

The first city was filled with people.

There were middle-aged women, older women, and although most of them were women, they couldn’t see any young women.

The same applied to any place in Beatrice, but what set this place apart was the scale.

This place was full of so many people and lively atmosphere that it was hard to believe they were still in Beatrice.

It almost felt like they time-slipped to the Middle Ages.

Although the architecture wasn’t glamorous, they maintained better conditions than the other buildings they had seen.

Overall, the city of Horn seemed to be quite wealthy.

While they walked through the village, a group led by a soldier approached Min Sung’s party.

Min Sung stopped in his tracks, and they stopped in front of Min Sung and paid their respects.

They were all women, and they were beautiful.

“The 12 signs have been waiting for you. First, let us escort you to the Horn Castle.”

Min Sung decided to follow them.

“Lead the way,” Min Sung said with a gesture.

The women turned their bodies and began walking as Min Sung instructed.

“It doesn’t seem like they want to fight.”

Min Sung sighed and scanned the village.

“We’ll see.”

Ho Sung Lee was impressed that Min Sung was able to sigh.

Inside a city containing inner continent players and the 12 signs who Krok feared so much.

He sighed.

He had known him for a long time, but Ho Sung Lee was still unable to adjust to Min Sung’s power.
