Leveling Up Through Eating

Chapter 515: God of Slaughter, Asura

“Daddy!!!”

“…”

…made Akhan speechless. Akhan immediately knew that he had to find a hole to crawl into and get through this situation safely, but he could not see the light anywhere.

All of the dragons looked at Akhan furiously. This situation made it clear to the dragons that what Elder Velach and Minhyuk said about Akhan stealing the dragon egg and bringing it to the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom seemed to be the truth. The huge shame and stain on their dignity was that the dragons actually sided with their enemy and confronted Velach and Minhyuk, because Akhan instigated them to do so.

“How dare you! You bastard!!!”

“You dare fool us?!”

“I won’t let you go!!!”

To be honest, even while Velach stood on Minhyuk’s side, he was still harboring a bit of doubt. However, Luna’s words made him realize everything clearly. Akhan was truly the culprit behind all of this.

“F*ck…”

“Bring judgment to the bastard that dared to trick us, dragons!!!” Dragon Elder Velach roared as the more than sixteen dragons bombarded Akhan with their magical attacks.

Shwaaaaaaaaaa—

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—

No matter how much of a genius Akhan was, no talent or smarts could allow him to withstand the onslaught of attacks sent by more than sixteen dragons.

‘Damn that Food God bastard… you botched my plans?’

Akhan’s face turned ugly as his HP rapidly decreased from the dragons’ bombardment. However, his death did not have anything to do with Asura. They were completely irrelevant. Even if he died, they still had to deal with Asura.

Just when Akhan was about to die, an arm suddenly appeared from the gaps of the dragons’ bombardment and dragged him by the collar.

Graaaaab—

“…You f*cking bastard.”

The hand belonged to none other than Food God Minhyuk.

Food God Minhyuk was one of the best players in Athenae. He was the strongest player that led Korea’s victory in the Athenae:World War, and was the first player to build a kingdom, the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.

But Akhan believed that he was just that. In fact, that thought had not changed at all, until now. This very same Food God had grabbed Akhan by the collar and said, “You think it’s over?”, his face horribly distorted from rage.

Baaaaaaaaang—

Minhyuk punched Akhan on the face so hard that it swung to the other side.

“Ugh!”

“Whether it’s ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times…” Minhyuk said, his voice a degree lower. He was furious. This man in front of him was the one that tried to kill the people that he cherished and loved, and also tore Ben apart from him.

‘No matter what, no matter when…’

Crack—

“I will chase you until the end of the world and hunt you.”

Akhan felt a chill run down his spine.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaang—

[Chaotic player.]

[No penalty will be incurred when PKed.]

[Akhan is a vicious player criminal that resorted to PKing, tricking dragons, and opening the Gates of Hell.]

[Plenty of Asgan Continent’s citizens have died in his hands.]

[There’s a very high probability of Akhan dropping his artifacts.]

[Akhan was forced to log out while still borrowing the powers of the God of Death. He will receive a higher penalty.]

Then, at that moment…

Shwaaaaaa—

…the disappearing Akhan cackled, “Ten times? A hundred times? Let’s see you try.”

What could a player even do against him? It was extremely funny. But then, a huge number of valuable artifacts started to fall from Akhan’s disappearing body. Among these artifacts was a white staff.

“This! Dam…!”

Before Akhan could finish his words, his body completely disappeared. Minhyuk quickly snatched the white staff that fell down from Akhan. The staff was shining brightly with a white light. This artifact was the God-rank artifact that helped Akhan do this much chaos. When Minhyuk checked the God of Death’s Staff, he saw that it was currently ‘sealed’. Akhan used some unconventional means to remove the condition that the staff would disappear from the world once the power of the staff had been used. Because of that, the staff had been ‘sealed’ for three months and would only be used after the time was up.

“Moron,” Minhyuk laughed at the place where Akhan disappeared. However, he could not enjoy the joy of gaining victory over this crazy man. This was because Asura was already taking shape once again.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Huge explosions bloomed and swept the surrounding area. It was as if it was announcing the true descent of Asura. And the dragons? They were also afraid of Asura’s existence. One of the dragons even said, “Velach, aren’t we done here since we have removed Akhan, the main culprit?”

“That’s right.”

“Besides, the Lord is also not corrupted and has not walked the path of destruction. Our work here is done, right?”

The viewers were all taken aback after hearing their conversation.

[Those rascals. Are they washing their hands now since they’re done wreaking havoc?]

[Bullshit. So dragons can be this cowardly, huh?]

[Wow. They’re completely ridiculous.]

However, it was not just the viewers that thought about how cowardly the dragons were being in this situation. It was not just them, but also one other person.

“You guys are full of bull,” Minhyuk said as he looked at the dragons floating in the sky coldly. Velach and the rest of the dragons’ expressions turned ugly.

“Impudent. We helped you but a human king dared to show us contempt?!”

“How dare you, human bastard!”

“It would be very easy and refreshing for us to rip you to shreds.”

Minhyuk’s expression turned colder and more incredulous the more the dragons spoke.

“Even if I rip you guys to death, I would not feel refreshed. It was you, the dragons, who trusted and believed in Akhan’s words, raided Asgan Continent and brought chaos to us. And it was me, not you, who found out that Akhan was the true culprit. Take a good look around you. The blood of the innocent is flowing around you and dyeing the ground red. And it’s all because of you. But you all just want to leave like that?” Minhyuk sneered.

The dragons could only keep their mouths shut at Minhyuk’s words. They had nothing to refute him with. It was the truth. They, the dragons, the greatest existence on earth, wanted to run away and leave everything to the humans, when it was them that brought this problem to them.

“Don’t you think that you’re all shameless?”

“What?! What do you want us to do?” Velach asked. Their power had been reduced by 30%. Even if they joined in this war, it would still be difficult to deal with Asura. In fact, there was a high chance that they would be wiped out.

Minhyuk’s cold and frosty eyes passed by all of the dragons. Everyone, including the viewers, commentators and the entire world, focused on Minhyuk. Some of the dragons gulped dryly as they waited for his words.

“We’ll try after eating.”

“…?”

“…?”

“…?”

“…?”

“What?”

The dragons were all left speechless. They should do what after trying what? All of them were plunged into a state of panic. They wanted to ignore Minhyuk. Gaining strength and power to rival that of their enemy was not some easy matter.

‘What did he mean by trying it after eating? What kind of bullshit is that?

’

“We’re already in this situation but you still think of playing jokes on us?”

“I’m not joking. I’m sure you have heard about the Food God. There’s a high chance that I can restore your power, perhaps even make you stronger.”

The dragons murmured to each other. They were also aware of the Food God’s existence and what kind of a god he was. Minhyuk looked at the confused dragons, the greatest beings on earth, and decided to go for the nail in the coffin that would help them make a decision.

“You can flee from this place and be known as the worst and most cowardly dragons in history.”

Minhyuk turned to look at Asura.

“Or you can follow me and fight against Asura.”

The cold glint in Minhyuk’s eyes pierced through the dragons. Even though Minhyuk was speaking rudely and coldly, the dragons could not refute him. All of the dragons turned to Dragon Elder Velach. The only reason why Minhyuk said these impudent and brazen words was so the dragons would not be able to pull themselves away from this mess. If the dragons chose to retreat after Minhyuk stated these words then they would definitely be branded as the most pathetic, cowardly, and weak dragons in existence.

“Is it really possible?”

“It’s possible,” Minhyuk said in full confidence, his words firm, his tone convincing.

After hearing those words, Velach realized that the ball was in their court. They were now the ones that had to make their choice. Velach looked at the other dragons and pondered for quite a while before finally making a decision, “From this moment on, we will follow the command of that human king and fight Asura.”

“We understand.”

“Alright.”

The dragons did not delay their answers since they had made the decision, they would follow through and listen to the human’s commands. At the same time, Minhyuk discussed things with Ali.

“Yeah, that can be done.”

After talking with Ali, Minhyuk turned to the dragons and gave them his orders, “Dragons, listen!”

The dragons listened intently to Minhyuk’s orders. The entire world watched as the dragons, the greatest existence on earth, perked their ears up to listen to the orders of a human and follow his commands.

“Polymorph into the figure of a human. Another thing, immediately form a defensive circle that Asura cannot come out of!”

Minhyuk had heard from Ali that it was possible to create a gigantic shield that could tie Asura down if he had the help of more than ten dragons. The dragons immediately polymorphed and took the form of humans. The polymorphed dragons then created shields of red, blue, silver and many more, until a huge shield that surrounded Asura.

Asura, who was on the verge of completing his figure, finally opened his eyes.

Blink—

“Do you think these measly things can stop me?”

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—

Asura’s arms moved, slamming the shield six times in a row. However, what Minhyuk did next surprised everyone. He stood in front of Asura from within the barrier. On the other hand, the dragons kept on receiving alarming notifications one after the other.

[The shield’s durability is rapidly decreasing.]

[The shield’s durability is rapidly decreasing.]

They could not help but be appalled. This was because their shields, the shields created by the magic’s rulers and kings, were losing rapidly and pitifully. Minhyuk, who stood in front of the colorful shield, turned to the dragons and asked, “How long can this shield last?”

“Around an hour and a half.”

Minhyuk nodded at Velach’s answer as he took out the small trailer from his inventory and threw it right in front of the shield.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump—

Accompanied by loud thumps and clacks, the small trailer that looked like a teeny tiny toy suddenly grew in size. This was the Food God’s artifact created for the Food God himself using the Eternal Flames and Great Demon Verus’ All Creation Production Book. The Cooking Trailer finally made its appearance.

Description: This is a cooking trailer created with an Eternal Flame that has stronger firepower. Cooking will be done much faster than expected when inside the trailer. Even the buffs of the completed dishes will be greater than initially expected.

The trailer had already made its first appearance during Minhyuk’s quest to make a building in honor of a king. However, the entire world was still confused.

[The trailer’s power is definitely outstanding. But can Player Minhyuk truly find a way to overcome this dire situation that they are in in just two hours?]

[Feeding the dragons his buffed dishes is a very ingenious plan. However, dealing with Asura with the strength that they would gain from it? Still questionable.]

However, there was one thing that the world did not know. These were the words that were clearly written in the trailer’s description: ‘The trailer can detect any danger in the vicinity. The higher the level of danger detected, the higher the chances of creating a higher-grade dish that can help you overcome the approaching crisis.’ This was the moment when the trailer could show its strongest abilities. That was why Minhyuk moved near the shield.

“Hey,” Minhyuk called out as he placed his hand on the shield and peered at Asura. Then, at that moment…

Shwaaaaaaaaaaa—

Huge flames rose from the two vents attached to the trailer. This was the Eternal Flames, a flame that was stronger and more beautiful than any other flames in existence.

Beeeeeeeeeeeep—

Sizzleeeeeee—

Like a rice cooker that had finished cooking, the trailer turned red, shaking roughly as white steam constantly spewed out from the chimney above it.

[The trailer has detected danger. The probability of creating higher-grade dishes has increased!]

[The trailer has detected danger. The probability of creating higher-grade dishes has increased!]

[The trailer has detected danger. The probability of creating higher-grade dishes has increased…!]

[The trailer’s abilities and functions have reached MAX!!!]

Minhyuk smirked as he looked at Asura.

“…It’s showtime.”
