Chapter 477: Naval Warfare (Bottom)

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

Demon Kimaris, in the form of a black soldier, had only just made an appearance, but his very presence already made the sea churn violently. When he glared frostily at his surroundings…

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!”

“Kghhhhhhhhk!”

“Arghh…!”

…the weaker and ordinary pirates that accidentally made eye contact with him ended up collapsing on the ground from the pressure of his gaze. This scene was immediately broadcasted and described by the Japanese broadcasting stations and their commentators.

[Something unbelievable just happened right in front of our very eyes. Player Minhyuk has summoned a demon.]

[A player has summoned a demon. How in the world…]

Everything was because of the ‘Demon Summoning Ring’.

(Demon Summoning Ring)

Rank: Legendary

Requirements: The One that has sealed a demon.

Durability: 1,000/1,000

Defensive Power: 70

Special Effects: Summons a random demon.

Description:

  • You can randomly summon one of the 72 Devils.
  • The first randomly summoned demon will be fixed. This will be the only demon that you can summon.
  • You can only summon this demon a total of four times.
  • The Demon Summoning Ring will disintegrate after using up all of the allowed number of summons.
  • The demon’s summoning time will only be for thirty minutes.
  • The first demon that you summoned must follow the orders of their summoners completely during the first summons.
  • If the summoned demon pledges their eternal ‘obedience’ to the ring user, then the demon would become the user’s vassal.
  • This is the Demon Summoning Ring carried by Great Demon Verus. During the first summoning, the demon that you summoned will have no other choice but to obey your orders. However, in the next summoning, the demon can kill you or bring the world into the depths of despair. Be careful.

    Minhyuk easily saw through Lundnu’s careful thoughts. So he used them skillfully to his advantage. The rewards that they received after hunting Great Demon Verus have not been publicized. There was no way for others to know what Minhyuk had gained back then. In Lundnu’s point of view, aside from Elpis and Brod, none of the summons that Minhyuk could summon on the fly would be a match against his Named NPCs. Also, if he accepted Minhyuk’s offer, he would be able to reduce whatever damage that they would incur and also get the opportunity to trample on Minhyuk easily.

    Then, an unexpected set of notifications rang for Minhyuk and his men.

    [Demon Kimaris has the special attribute of instilling ‘courage’ to humans.]

    [Your morale has increased dramatically.]

    [A power that allows you to never back down has been applied.]

    [You have received an increase of 20% in stats and attack hit rate and a 15% increase in attack.]

    Just because they were demons did not mean that they would only bring harm to humans. Especially with Kimaris, a demon with a special attribute that ‘could instill courage to humans’.

    “This, this is ridiculous…!” Lundnu exclaimed, no other words could come out of his mouth and he could only gawk at the sight. It was clear that this was the reason why Minhyuk had proposed a 1:1 PVP match. However…

    ‘I don’t know how he summoned that demon but that demon must definitely be weakened…!’

    There was no way that summoning a demon would not garner any penalty. Besides…

    ‘There’s no way a human like him can control a demon!’

    Unfortunately, Lundnu’s beliefs were wrong this time. The special ability attached to the ring would force the summoned demon to obey all of the orders of the summoner unconditionally during the first summon.

    “A human dared to call for me…”

    Just like Lundnu had thought, Kimaris did not look favorably upon Minhyuk. But…

    “Shut up. Follow my orders.”

    [His words have the same power as Great Demon Verus’ commands.]

    [If you don’t follow his orders, the punishment that Great Demon Verus had placed in the Demon Summoning Ring will tighten its noose upon your neck.]

    “How dare…” Kimaris growled, face turning ugly from the notifications. However, the Demon Summoning Ring was an item that contained the power of Great Demon Verus, he had no choice but to follow Minhyuk’s orders unconditionally, “What do you want?”

    Minhyuk briefly explained to Kimaris the situation that they were in.

    “Damn it…!” Lundnu cursed his failed predictions. However, he still had a little spark of hope in him. He immediately winked at Bellod. Sea Slaughterer Bellod, with his body turned into bones, was wearing a black robe and holding two katanas in his hands. This very same Bellod flew swiftly to take Kimaris by surprise as he aimed his katana at Kimaris’ neck.

    Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang—

    Shockingly enough, Bellod’s katana failed to cut through Kimaris’ neck. But Bellod did not stop there, he took that opportunity to spin and attack Kimaris from atop his head.

    Baaaaaaaaang—

    “…!” Bellod, despite only having a skull as his head, looked at his opponent in confusion. He was known for his tremendous damage, speed, and his fine techniques. But none of his attacks had gone through at all. True, he might have created legendary achievements with Great Pirate Gorfido in the past, but he was only a human legend at best. In the face of a demon, a human was nothing but an ant. Bellod soared to the skies once again.

    This time, Demon Kimaris swung the huge ax in his hands.

    Slash—

    The first swing smashed Bellod’s skull.

    Crack, crack, crack, crack!

    The second swing slammed into his ribs.

    Crack, crack, crack—

    And the final swing caused Bellod’s bones to collapse, forcing him to fall down helplessly on the ground.

    Rumbleeeee—

    [The Sea Slaughterer Bellod has been put to rest.]

    [You will not be able to summon Sea Slaughterer Bellod a second time.]

    “…!”

    Ludnu turned pale. Gorfido’s subordinates were his pride. Of course, he rarely summoned them because he wanted to keep them as his trump card. He had kept a firm belief that Gorfido’s subordinates would be able to keep their ground and would not be pushed back by the Food God’s Named NPCs.

    Alas, this firm belief now brought great pain to Lundnu. The sight in front of him made his chest feel constricted.

    ‘N, No…’

    Even though it pained him, he was now in a situation where he could not stop at will. This was because he signed the ‘Foreigner’s Pledge’ on a live broadcast. He had no choice but to send another one forward. The next one that Lundnu sent out was Vicious Sorcerer Aelvero.

    ‘If it’s his one shot kill attack explodes then…’

    Vicious Sorcerer Aelvero could use the power of the sea to bombard his enemies with powerful magic. Just like that, Aelvero, with his shabby robes, cast his magic.

    Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

    Sea water rose and surrounded his body, but just as he was about to send them toward Kimaris… no, even before that…

    Clack, clack—

    Just one step from Kimaris’ black horse and he was already in front of Aelvero.

    “…”

    Aelvero’s hollow socket looked at the demon in front of him blankly. If he could sweat, he would definitely be covered in it by now. And then…

    Slaaaaaaaash—

    …Kimaris’ axe broke Aelvero’s skull.

    [The Vicious Sorcerer Aelvero has been put to rest.]

    [You will not be able to summon Vicious Sorcerer?Aelvero?a second time.]

    Lundnu felt his heart rip in two. Not only because he lost another summon, but also because this scene was being broadcasted live all over the world. It was as if he was showing how inferior he was to the Food God, to the entire world.

    [The Storm Knight Caria has been put to rest.]

    [You will not be able to summon Storm Knight Caria a second time.]

    [The Navy Butcher Rudeina has been put to rest.]

    [You will not be able to summon Navy Butcher Rudeina a second time.]

    Great Pirate Gorfido’s Pirate Knight and Rudeina, his Sea Master Archer, both fell down after a few hits from Kimaris’ axe. Lundnu felt like his heart was clenching in pain. He finally knew that he had been completely caught in Minhyuk’s trap.

    ‘If only I hadn’t been greedy…’

    If only Lundnu did not become too conceited, believing that he would be able to trample on the Food God and kill him easily, then this would not have happened. But then, at that moment, Minhyuk suddenly extended a helping hand. He said, “Shall I offer you another proposal?”

    Grit, grit—

    Lundnu gritted his teeth. He wondered what Minhyuk was up to this time. But Minhyuk just smiled softly and said, “Even I know that it’s hard for ordinary Named NPCs to win against the demon.”

    “So?”

    “This time, I will allow you to pick your opponent in this PVP match. I won’t let the demon come out to fight anymore.”

    “…!”

    It was like a sweet whisper to the desperate Lundnu. His eyes glinted in the dark as he thought, ‘Are you trying to stop the people from criticizing you for killing my pirates with a demon?’

    Of course, everything happened because Lundnu accepted Minhyuk’s proposal. However, Minhyuk would not escape from the people’s criticism if things continued at this rate. After all, it was not Minhyuk’s vassal that participated in the match.

    ‘Moron. Your men are 30% weaker.’

    That was right. Lundnu was going to grab onto this last straw of hope. Besides, it was Minhyuk himself that said that he would not let the demon come out to fight in the PVP anymore. He even graciously offered a way out for him, so how could he back out? Just like that, Lundnu began to scrutinize each of Minhyuk’s vassals.

    ‘Let’s just choose the one that looks the weakest. I’ll choose the weakest first and kill his Named NPCs one after the other.’

    Lundnu’s head was suddenly filled with anger. He wanted to let Minhyuk feel the helplessness and pain of losing his NPCs too! As he looked at Minhyuk’s NPC, his gaze finally stopped on one person.

    “Conir’s hungry. Conir wants to eat ramyeon! Sluuurp, nyam nyam! Sluuurp, nyam nyam!?Tasty ramyeon!”

    That boy!?

    After careful consideration, Lundnu realized that he never saw any amazing performance from the boy in any of the videos that he had seen. Of course, he knew that the boy was strong. But compared to others, he did not gain much attention in the broadcasts so far. And from what he could see, the boy was lacking in the brain department.

    ‘I don’t know how that boy got this strong but he’s definitely lacking in skills and technique.’

    Lundnu was certain that the boy was lacking in control and techniques. He confidently said, “Then, I choose the ramyeon boy first.”

    Lundnu believed that he would be able to kill them one after the other. But when Minhyuk heard his words, his lips slightly curled up.

    The boy, Conir, was the Sword Saint and a genius of the sword that taught the Knight’s Tower’s Tower Master his swordsmanship. Conir was also the progenitor of the ‘Faramil’s Swordsmanship’, the swordsmanship taught and used by the Knight’s Tower to all of the strongest knights that have gathered in their tower.

    By a stroke of luck, Kimaris’ special attribute had slightly offset the 30% loss in power the moment they stepped foot on Gorfido’s Pirate Ship. Of course, Lundnu was unaware of all of this.

    This time, Lundnu sent out ‘Sea Assassin Adron’. Adron was a very outstanding assassin that could assassinate ordinary captains of pirate ships within seconds. Lundnu was confident that Adron’s quick feet and delicate techniques would be able to kill the boy in one go.

    “Conir! Conir’s hungry! Conir will finish this quickly!”

    Adron dashed forward. But instead of killing the boy, Adron’s two katanas, the katanas that he pulled out from behind him, were blocked easily. No, he was being pressured. The talented Sword Saint, Conir, was pressuring Adron, like a beast caging its prey. Then, Conir stabbed Adron in his empty chest before slashing his sword upwards and breaking his skull with a crack.

    Crack, crack, crack, crack—

    [The Sea Assassin Adron has been put to rest.]

    [You will not be able to summon Sea Assassin Adron a second time.]

    “…”

    Lundnu was left speechless.

    And the boy Conir… as a child, he had always learned well and copied the adults in front of him! He immediately recalled the wise words that Genie had imparted to the world before as he declared, “I am Conir! Why is an annoying and cheeky f*cker jumping in front of me?!”

    “…”

    The legendary Sea Assassin Adron was nothing more than an annoying and cheeky f*cker in front of Conir.
