32 Frying Pan Killer
Ztube, a worldwide video uploading site. Somin was an active uploader in Ztube. Her main content was centered around Athenae, a topic that was famous and well-known in the world. She was in her mid-20s but she had small bones so she did not look like she was old. She was also able to garner high views with her content about Versal before.
Just as she finished her business in the bathroom, she received a phone call from her friend.
Interesting video?
Watching other people’s videos was also something meaningful for her. She would be able to follow the current trend if she knew the content that the other people made. Obviously, the current trend these days was all about Athenae users. And if the owner of the video was someone that had a handsome or beautiful person then it was like an icing on the cake.
She hurriedly accessed the Athenae Homepage at the urging of her friend.
She was quite taken aback with the number 1 on the realtime search keyword list.
“Frying pan killer?”
She clicked on the video curiously.
The video showed a man with a frying pan on his back fighting with a mini troll.
‘Wow…… He’s really handsome. How long has it been since my eyes had been cleansed like this?’
She was freely admiring the handsome frying pan user. At the same time, the mini troll sent out an attack magic towards the user.
Then…
The magic attack that was sent out was reflected back towards the mini troll.
‘Magical reflection……?!’
She was startled.
As far as she knew, magical reflection was an ability inherent to mages. This was exclusive for mages that lack HP and high-leveled mages that were above the 6th class.
But the frying pan is capable of that?
What was more, the mini troll that was hit by the reflected attack couldn’t come back to its senses.
Somin thought that the video had checked all of the three things that a video needed to become a hit.
A fresh content.
A unique character.
And a face that can attract the crowd.
As she continued to watch the video, Somin was shocked to the point that she even let out gas.
Fwoooooosh━
“That’s Suicidal Rovan, right?”
“Hey. I’m busy!”
Somin ended the call before her friend could scold and nag at her.
Versal’s Rovan. He was called the Mad Devil or the Crazy Hunter. She had posted plenty of videos about him and had personally seen all of his raid videos. He was an extremely famous user. Anyone who played Versal would know who Rovan was.
He even fought the demon, Valental, alone!
At the time when he hunted Valental he was also given another name.
Suicidal Rovan.
He was a genius in combat.
‘He’s a player that has been recognized by the country’s gaming experts. He’s one of the few genius gamers with high physical, combat prowess and sense of humor!’
And he appeared in the virtual reality gaming scene once again. She was quite happy about this fact, but the thing that made her happier was the fact that she was somewhere near the Shrieking Hills too.
She quickly accessed and logged in the game.
Her nickname in Athenae was Joo-ah. She had the hidden class Unusual Genius. And her special ability was ‘Ignoring Restrictions’. With her special ability, she could override and ignore all the restrictions and conditions needed before entering a dungeon or a field. However, if she used her special ability then she would not be able to attack or acquire any items inside the dungeon. But it was entirely possible to take videos and photos inside the dungeons and fields.
This was the best ability for a Ztuber!
She rushed to find Rovan.
‘Maybe I will even be able to see the suicidal battle again……!’
Of course, it wasn’t a 1:1 battle but a fight against plenty of monsters.
Then…
‘Found him!’
Joo-ah was extremely delighted when she saw the backs of Rovan and the frying pan user. They were facing each other.
‘What’s this? Why does it look like they’re going to fight……?’
The moment she thought that she thought that they would start a fight, Joo-ah knew that it would garner a high number of views.
Her heart fluttered excitedly as she started to stream a live broadcast.
Rovan did not only enjoy hunting, he also quite enjoyed fighting against other users.
And because he was extremely skilled, he even challenged the demons in Versal. They were creatures that no one in the country had ever raided successfully. That was when the codename suicidal was thrown at him.
He really wanted to fight with Minhyuk with everything that he got.
“You want us to fight?”
“Yes. I really want to fight Minhyuk-nim once with everything that I’ve got. This is my request.”
“……I understand. I won’t hold myself back.”
“Yep.”
Rovan grinned at him.
It’s good that he accepted my request willingly.
He decided to use one of the abilities of the legendary class Berserker.
Berserker’s Madness was a skill that would temporarily increase all five of his basic stats by 50%. He would also be able to use the Berserker skills and abilities that were still currently sealed. However, the penalty was also enormous. Nevertheless, he still had a reason as to why he used it.
‘If I don’t use this power then I will never have the chance to defeat Minhyuk-nim.’
Rovan was quite sure of this.
Minhyuk quickly stepped back. He had a few ideas as to why Rovan requested this from him.
When strong people meet there would always be a person who would avoid fights and a person who would want to compete in every way possible. Rovan clearly belonged to the latter.
Minhyuk used all of the buffs that he could use.
Then…
Rovan narrowed the distance between them.
Swoooooosh!
‘He got faster.’
He noticed that his speed had become vastly different from the speed that he had used before. In just a blink of an eye, Rovan had already approached him and swung his sword at him.
Minhyuk twisted his body and dodged the attack while Rovan chased after him and swung his sword at him sideways. He quickly defended himself from the attack.
Baaaaang!
When the swords met, instead of hearing the sound of grating swords, they heard the sound of something smashing.
Minhyuk almost reeled back with the strength of the force of the attack. He quickly took his stance and launched his attack at Rovan.
His stabbing sword was quickly parried by Rovan and the skill was cancelled.
Bang!
Minhyuk was a bit surprised. This was the first time that he saw someone cancel a skill in this way.
At that moment, Rovan had already narrowed the distance between them once again as he used the skill that he had prepared earlier.
Rovan’s sword glowed a bright red as it shook like it was going to explode.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Minhyuk was swallowed by a heavy force that exploded. This was the result of the destruction skill. The aftermath of the explosion was a scorched and exploded ground along with a dense cloud of dust.
Rovan inhaled sharply as he prepared for the next attack.
Crackle, crackle, burn!
A powerful flame surged out from his sword. The flame was so strong that it exploded the dense cloud of dust away.
Baaaam!
Crackle, crackle, burn!
A huge pillar of flame rose over and sweeped the dust away.
However, Rovan still did not let his guard down.
Then…
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Rovan saw Minhyuk rushing towards him. He swung his sword at him. However, Minhyuk moved so fast that he only left an afterimage behind.
Rovan hurriedly turned around to block Minhyuk behind him. Minhyuk once again disappeared from behind him leaving only an afterimage behind. The moment Minhyuk disappeared, Rovan quickly sensed danger.
The number of swords that Minhyuk used to attack had increased by the dozens. Rovan could feel a huge amount of pressure with all the swords surrounding him.
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
He was able to parry the flurry of swords and counter the rampant sword alone. This just showed how great Rovan’s abilities were. However, one of the swords penetrated through his defense and slashed at his sides.
Slaaash!
Rovan saw his HP plummet in an instant. A large chunk of his HP was gone with just one slash.
Spurt!
Spurt!
Blood spurted out all over his body. In an instant, his HP had dropped to less than 40%. The falling blood slowly rose and became sharp weapons. Rovan’s eyes glittered sharply.
The drops of blood coagulated and quickly turned into the shape of a weapon. It quickly enlarged and attacked and parried Minhyuk’s rampant sword.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Then, from the clashing weapons in the air, a spear brushed past Minhyuk’s sides.
Spurt!
Minhyuk’s blood turned into beads that were sucked and absorbed by Rovan. His wounds started to recover at a rapid pace.
After the duration of the rampant sword ended, Minhyuk took a step back. At the same time, Rovan also took a step back with his sword.
Minhyuk hurriedly took out some food and ate.
Fwooooosh!
His wounds also began to recover at a rapid pace.
Joo-ah blinked blankly at the incredible sight that was happening in front of her.
She wasn’t the only one who couldn’t believe what was happening. Real-time comments had started to pour in and appear on her live broadcast.
They did not know the exact details about the skill but they had no choice but to be surprised. They could see that Rovan would lose the moment his Berserker’s Madness’ duration ended.
The viewers continued to argue with each other.
The viewers were arguing intensely when rankers suddenly appeared.
Chaos was surprised about their combat prowess, however he was not aware that Minhyuk and Rovan crazily leveled up before. The level restrictions in the dungeon or field would not work if they leveled up inside. They would not be restricted even if they logged out as long as they did not leave the dungeon. But once they used the return scroll then the restrictions would be imposed on them.
It was just a lowkey comment from one of the users but the comment sections had become flooded after this comment.
Joo-ah murmured to herself as she looked at the chaotic comments.
“I thought the two of them were both over level 200…”
Of course she knew that the Shrieking Hills was a Lv100 hunting ground even before she came here. However, when she saw the battle between the two of them, she thought that they were over level 200 so she ignored those restrictions.
But in reality? Their levels were far below that…
Joo-ah, who was filming quietly, mumbled to herself as she continued to watch the two of them narrow the distance between them.
“Damn, so amazing……”
TL’s corner!!!
So… This chapter title was something that I added personally. I checked through the raws and saw that there was a missing chapter title since it suddenly jumped to 33 Hungry Monsters from 31 Poisonous Toad King. So I thought that the author forgot about the 32nd Chapter Title. And since the focus is our very own Frying Pan Killer and his iconic Frying Pan and Helmet, I decided to use Frying Pan Killer as the chapter title.
