Chapter 1080

Chapter 1080

The wings created by 1,500 flaming swords unfolded when Minhyuk swung his sword, and they looked stunning. Immediately after that, five swords pierced through Bender, who was still under the effects of Overpower.

Not only could each of the swords deal an additional 4,000% damage, but they would also hit the target without fail. On top of that, the target would fall into a one-second stunned state. Following the five swords, the remaining 1,495 fell and stabbed Bender every second, with explosions following every five seconds.

Bang, bang, bang–!

A groan escaped Bender’s mouth as the swords continuously stabbed and exploded in his body.

Overpower’s stun was released while Calamity was wreaking havoc. Bender was still in a dilemma because he was placed in another series of stunned states.

‘Perhaps, I’m really...’

Perhaps he had been the arrogant one. This thought flashed a thousand times in Bender’s head.

Bender had killed Minhyuk 3,000 times. Unlike the guardians, the foreigners were given special privileges. Bender thought that these privileges had given Minhyuk wings. Alas, it was completely different.

‘This child has talent.’

Minhyuk was able to see through him after dying 3,000 times.

Were there any Transcendentals that Bender had trained in in this very room who showed this much talent? The answer to that was none.

Then, was there someone among them who had enough mental power to endure dying 3,000 times? The answer was still none.

Bender’s mistake was agreeing to this match without thinking. He was very arrogant because he had not seen anyone do what Minhyuk had done here, and his arrogance resulted in something disastrous.

Bang–!

Bender was sent flying away, his body crumpling as he crashed into the wall and slowly slid down on the ground.

Bender had been staying inside the Fortress of Fantasy for thousands of years since his fierce battle against Helenia, so it had been quite a long time since he had felt a threat to his life. And now, this feeling of danger, something he had not felt even after fighting Ruba, had awakened in every cell of his body.

At this moment, he realized that the people called Heaven Destroyer with such a name at the start because of his will to survive and live.

“Urk!” Bender groaned, a fleeting smile on his face as he grabbed the sword by his side.

The Heaven Destroyer’s Beginning was created by a boy who possessed special powers to prevent his death at the hands of the imperial knights in the human world.

The boy created the second stage of Heaven Destroyer after knocking down his enemies using the first stage of Heaven Destroyer. It could release hundreds of sword lights at the same time.

The third stage was the true “Heaven Destroyer.” It was created to deal with thousands of enemies, even if he was alone.

It was a force that could strike even the heavens. He would remind them of the past. And he would make this young man, a mere human emperor, remember this fact.

Bender might have been seriously injured, but his wounds were already recovering as he stood up.

‘I lost.’

Bender was fully aware of this fact. However, it was not yet over.

Meanwhile, these notifications rang in Minhyuk’s ears.

Ring!

[You have completed the Quest: Cut Down Bender’s HP by 50%.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

Ring!

[The Sudden Quest: Bring Bender’s HP below 28%.]

“...?!”

Minhyuk looked at Bender, whose injuries were recovering quickly, in surprise.

Sizzle–

Bender was smiling as he wiped the blood off of his mouth.

[Sudden Quest: Bring Bender’s HP below 28%.]

Rank: SSS

Requirements: The one who received Bender’s offer.

Rewards: 10,000,000,000 EXP

Penalty for Failure: -3 levels

Description: Bender has lived inside the Fortress of Fantasy after his battle against Helenia for a very long time. Bender has never felt his life threatened during his stay there. But after you have threatened his life, Bender has regained some of the power that he has lost in the past. Bring Bender’s HP below 28%. Achieve this feat with only a total of three deaths.

Minhyuk was very shocked. ‘Ten billion EXP?!’

The amount of EXP was ridiculously crazy.

Now that he had reached Level 699, his goal and dream level were approaching. But after seeing the total amount of EXP needed, he turned silent.

‘...?’

The amount of EXP he needed was equivalent to the EXP he needed to level up from Level 650 to Level 699. At that moment, he thought he should make a quest that could increase his level by one, just like with Beradon before.

Still, nothing ever came easy.

[You cannot use other methods to increase your level. You can only fill in the EXP gauge to level up.]

Forced to face this bitter reality, Minhyuk realized he desperately needed the ten billion worth of EXP. Of course, even if he got the ten billion EXP, more was needed to make him reach Level 700.

‘I want to drive Bender into a corner.’

The desire to win and conquer burned fiercely in Minhyuk’s heart. Just then, the incoming notifications left him startled.

[Transcendental Bender has awakened.]

[Transcendental Bender has not fought a battle that has threatened his life in thousands of years.]

[He has regained some of his powers, which had grown dull over the years. All of his stats have increased by 5%. All of his skills have become 10% better.]

[Transcendental’s Recovery.]

[All of Bender’s Skill Cooldown has decreased.]

Fortunately, Bender’s HP did not change. Perhaps Bender did not intentionally use recovery on his stamina and physical strength. Even so, his HP, which had fallen to 44% earlier, had already returned to 48%.

Minhyuk’s breath hitched when he felt the overwhelming killing intent that was surging out of Bender. The pressure from the true and real absolute being wrapped around Minhyuk and almost suffocated him.

Bender held his sword with both hands and said, “I want to teach you...”

“...”

While Minhyuk still looked puzzled at Bender’s murmurs, the man swiftly approached him. Thankfully, Minhyuk had already grasped Bender’s habits, swordsmanship, and his motions and movements’ reach.

“...the absolute power created by the boy who desperately wanted to survive.”

But everything that he had understood had been ignored. Bender had shown a completely different move. Was it a skill? No.

Bender’s sense of survival, which had been slumbering for quite a long time, had finally awakened.

Slash, slash, slash–!

Minhyuk was unable to read through his movements. His attacks, which he could not stop, constantly chipped away at Minhyuk’s HP.

“With this power, I could win against an imperial knight at twelve.”

There was a surge of overwhelming Transcendental’s Power, as the Heaven Destroyer’s Beginning pierced through Minhyuk’s abdomen.

Stab, stab, stab–!

More than a hundred hits slammed into him.

“Kghhk!”

Minhyuk hurriedly pulled out a chocopie and tried to push it into his mouth to activate Absorption Conversion, but Bender cut him down before he could do so. He immediately turned into light and was revived on the spot.

[Transcendental’s Shackles]

[You have fallen into a three-second absolute stunned state.]

“I could cut down dozens of imperial knights with this power.”

Hundreds of sword lights shot out and pierced through Minhyuk, who was in a stunned state. The sword lights were stronger and greater than Brod’s Wolf’s Death.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh–

Bender looked at Minhyuk, who had revived once again, before looking up at the sky.

“I want to teach you. No, I want to teach anyone.”

Bender wanted to teach the Transcendentals this swordsmanship. But not a single one of them was able to master it.

Was it because it was challenging to master? Perhaps that was the case. After all, it was a force that no ordinary person could wield. The main reason was because of their talent. Their lack of talent made it impossible for them to master this swordsmanship. So, he was going to lay it out in the open.

The one who led the Transcedentals.

The one who hid Helenia’s Ores.

And the one who cut down the heavens.

Bender would use the Heaven Destroyer he had used against Ruba.

His energy surged, and a power that could threaten even the heavens spread out.

“Watch.” Bender’s sharp gaze looked at Minhyuk. He had no intention of losing against Minhyuk. He had asked for this spar and he had given him three chances. Once this was over, Bender would leave the training room.

“This Heaven Destroyer...”

“...?”

Bender saw Minhyuk appear in front of his eyes. Only then did he notice the whirlwind of power wrapped around the young man’s sword. It was the power that only he and he alone had ever been able to wield. It was the power of the Heaven Destroyer. This power had combined with another force and created a completely different force.

“...!”

This force was now aiming for the wide-eyed Bender’s chest.

“Food God’s Swordsmanship Chapter 1.”

This power was created by the fusion of Bender’s Heaven Destroyer and Minhyuk’s Sword of Frenzy. At the same time, a notification rang in Minhyuk’s ears.

[You have seen Bender’s true Heaven Destroyer.]

[Your understanding of Bender’s Heaven Destroyer has dramatically increased.]

[Your understanding of Bender’s Heaven Destroyer has exceeded 49%.]

[You can now combine your skill and understanding of the Heaven Destroyer.]

[The skill combination will only be completed if you can follow the movements and motions of Heaven Destroyer perfectly!]

There was one thing that Bender did not know. Minhyuk had always worked hard and gave it his all. But on top of that, he was a rare genius. Even though he had only ever observed Bender, he could accurately recreate and follow the movements and motions that Bender had used when using his skill. There was not even a centimeter of error in the range of his movements.

Finally, it was completed.

[Frenzied Blade has been completed.]

The power was immediately triggered when Minhyuk’s sword pierced Bender’s chest.

Stab, stab, stab–!

A whirlwind of blades shot out and tore Bender’s chest more than sixty times in just five seconds.

“Urk...!” Bender’s eyes grew wide as he vomited a mouthful of blood. His HP has dropped below 39%.

The young man before him had just cast a new skill by combining his and Bender’s powers. It was something that no one had ever done before.

‘He... Is he really a foreigner...?’

Was it because he received special privileges? No. Only now did Bender realize that although Minhyuk was a stranger, he was a genius with incomparable talents.

Minhyuk, who was in a quick-draw position, resembled Bender. Just like the little boy who charged and fought hundreds of knights alone.

[After successfully combining your skill with Bender’s Heaven Destroyer, your understanding of Bender’s Heaven Destroyer has increased to 54%.]

This time, it was the second stage’s turn.

Minhyuk’s Sword of Tempest was a power that would shoot out at least a hundred blades to cut down his enemies.

[The skill combination will only be completed if you can follow the movements and motions of Heaven Destroyer perfectly!]

It was turning into an entirely new power, different from the single sword of the Sword of Tempest, which could turn into a hundred blades.

Hundreds of sword lights shot into the sky before falling. The power resembled a heavy downpour as it wreaked havoc on the ground.

[Heavenly Sword has been completed.]

Hundreds of sword lights cut through Bender and left him trembling. But it was not yet over. The sword lights that shot out of the sword of the new strong man leading this era shot back to the sky after cutting him down. And they fell like rain once again.

“...?!”

Yes. It was a new skill, but it still possessed the power of the previously existing Sword of Tempest. To put it simply, the Heavenly Sword had an ego.

While Bender was in shock, Minhyuk listened to the notifications that rang in his ears.

[Bender’s Heaven Destroyer can only be activated in the ‘Transcendence’ state.]

[There are no skills that can be combined.]

[Please create a new skill tailored after Bender’s Heaven Destroyer.]

[Please create a skill within ten seconds. You can only create a skill that resembles the Heaven Destroyer.]

The state of Transcendence was made available to Minhyuk once again after his repeated deaths.

“Transcendence.”

Black energy swirled around before gathering in one place. The energy then morphed and turned into a spear that could pierce through the sky. If Bender’s Heaven Destroyer was a sword that could cut down even the heavens, then Minhyuk’s version was a spear that could pierce through anything.

The spear made of blacklight that could pierce through the heavens went straight through Bender’s heart.

“...?” There was disbelief on Bender’s face as he looked at Minhyuk after seeing the shocking damage he received.

[The Transcendental’s Spear has been completed.]

And this was the Transcendental’s Spear.

[The spear will hit the target with a 100% chance and leave them in a three-second stunned state.]

[Your attack will have 33,000% additional damage.]

[This skill can be used even without a weapon in hand.]

[The Food God’s Swordsmanship has evolved.]

The skill had no less than 33,000% additional damage!

A bright smile bloomed on Minhyuk’s face when he saw the shock on Bender’s face. ]

[You have completed the Sudden Quest: Bring Bender’s HP below 28%.]

[You have gained 10,000,000,000 EXP.]

Bender’s total HP had dropped to 14%.
