The advent of Black Dragon Vormon had brought shock and terror to countless Athenae players, viewers, and experts all over the world.

Cold sweat formed in the hands of the viewers watching TV in their houses, while those watching on their mobile phones stopped in their tracks to look at the scene. People began to flock to the screens displayed in front of stores with banners that said ‘Computers for Sale’. The people in the subway secretly peeked at the screen of the person sitting next to them, unknowingly feeling nervous and anxious. Then, the buzz finally came.

“What…what the hell?!”

“A single attack killed thousands…”

“How can they hunt something like that? Are the Athenae operators crazy?”

Some of the commentators said that both the Cairon and the Asgan Continents would be laid to waste if Black Dragon Vormon was not stopped. This might just be the truth. After all, Black Dragon Vormon was a very powerful existence that could easily suppress and hold down a powerful figure like an emperor. That was why the commentators did not distinguish between Korea or China when they spoke.

“Who the hell can kill a monster like that?”

“If they can’t hunt that, then will the Continent Cloud episode be over?”

“But… who in the world will be able to do that?”

“Who can kill that?”

That was right. Who could kill Black Dragon Vormon? Out of all the content in Athenae, plenty were still yet to be released. Vormon’s existence was supposed to appear much later when people that could hunt him down would appear. But, for the players’ current level at this point in time, it was an impossible feat.

Then, the cameras from all over the world focused and zoomed in on one person. It was an impossible feat, but perhaps, they might still have a chance if it was him. And this person was none other than Food God Minhyuk. Right now, all of the global rankers and the viewers from all over the world were looking at the figure of the Food God reflected on their screens.

***

The commentators from all over the world were brought into a panic. They were so shocked and terrified that they lost their words, not knowing what to say about the situation.

Just a single attack had wiped out 5,000 players and left no traces at all. The magic spells floating around Black Dragon Vormon’s body were only from the Second to Fourth Tier Magic. However, the fact that it was Black Dragon Vormon that used the magic was what made it different. Black Dragon Vormon was an existence that stood at the apex of magic. The damage that stemmed from his magic was beyond anyone’s imagination and was even enough to cripple his opponents’ magical defense and render them useless.

One of the commentators, who watched the scene in a daze, finally came back to his senses and said,

[More than 5,000 players from Cairon Continent have disappeared.]

[There are only 25,000 of their troops left together with the three people from Asgan Continent. These people are the only ones that could do something about this disaster.]

[If they stop him, they will all be remembered as Athenae’s heroes.]

[But if they can’t stop him, then all hell will break loose.]

[In fact, all of the rankers and experts from all over the world see this as a disaster for both the Asgan and Cairon Continents.]

[Everyone said that this is an impossible feat. Of course, they might have a chance if all of the rankers in the world will gather to fight.]

[However, the only people present in the Continent Cloud are the players from Asgan and Cairon Continents.]

[While everyone is curious about what kind of tactic and strategy they will use, Cairon Continent has already lost their Commander-in-Chief Da Zhuang. They are already in a state of confusion, and with Black Dragon Vormon’s advent on top of that, they have clearly descended to despair right now.]

[I’m very curious about how they will try to hunt Vormon.]

Shwaaaaaaaa—

A thick cloud of dust rose up in the sky. All of the surviving players looked up in the sky in panic and terror.

Gulp—

The sound of someone gulping dryly rang loudly in the otherwise silent battlefield. Then, they made their choice. The decision that all of the Chinese high rankers made was simple.

“Food God! Give us your orders!!!”

“Get a hold of yourselves!!! We’ll all die if we get distracted for even a second in here!!!”

“Food God, your orders!!!”

“Give us your orders!!!”

“We will follow you!!!”

[Something, something surprising just happened.]

[The Cairon Continent high rankers that were just pointing their swords towards the Food God are now asking the Food God to give them his orders.]

[They unanimously chose the Food God as their Commander-in-Chief.]

[That’s a good decision. From this point on, this battle is no longer a war between Asgan Continent and Cairon Continent. If both the Asgan and Cairon Continents succeed in hunting Vormon, their battle will become a legend that will remain in Athenae for a very long time to come.]

[They’re afraid. But, they’re also trembling right now for another reason.]

[It’s up to them to write history. And the hero that will lead them is none other than the Food God. This is something that they have no doubts about.]

That was right. Plenty of the players were scared. But, they were not trembling for that reason. A new existence. A new monster. A being that humans could not hunt. However, the fact that they had a chance to hunt this monster brought a thrill of delight in them.

Sometimes, in a dungeon, when a player discovered an extremely strong monster, and even died during the process, they would still be delighted. After all, their name would be known as the player that met the monster for the first time.

Minhyuk, who had become flustered, came back to his senses after hearing the voices of the 25,000 strong troops. When he looked around, he saw tens of thousands of troops looking at him and waiting for his orders.

Worried about their betrayal? Impossible. None of them would be willing to stab them in their backs when all of them were in danger of dying. Besides, they could just cut each other down after they dealt with Vormon.

Minhyuk finally breathed again, firm determination coloring his eyes, as he raised his sword high up in the sky.

“Uwaaaaaaaaah!!!”

A loud roar spread from within the Korean Defense Base. The panicked players slowly gained their determination to hunt, to reach for the skies and hunt a being that transcended beyond their own realm.

“Bread Shuttle! Carr!”

“Yes!”

“Bread Shuttle, release your power!”

“…Yes!”

The reason why Mei Wei was called ‘Bread Shuttle’ was partly because she wanted to hide her identity. But perhaps, it was time to reveal her identity. Mei Wei had no regrets, even if all of the Chinese people blamed her. It was alright even if everyone criticized her and spoke ill of her. It would not change the fact that she cared for, and loved the Food God. He was her king, the global number one ranker’s king.

Mei Wei had also eaten the marrow bone broth ahead of their long-term battle against the 50,000 troops. She had used her power and buff abilities only towards herself, Minhyuk, and Carr. These were the notifications that she heard after she ate the marrow bone broth.

[You have eaten the Ox Bone Soup made from the Leftover Marrow Bone Broth.]

[Your MP reserve has increased by 2.5x.]

[Your Buff-related Skill Cooldown has decreased by 70%.]

[Your Buff-related Skill Mana Consumption has decreased by 40%.]

[The radius of your AOE Buff Skill has increased by 40%.]

[Your Buff Duration has increased by 40%.]

[Your Debuff Effect has increased by 30%.]

[Your Magic Defense has increased by 30%.]

[Your Critical Hit Attack has increased by 300%.]

[Your Evasion Rate has increased by 300%.]

[Your EXP Acquisition Rate has increased by 300%.]

[All of the skills in your repertoire will exert more power than usual.]

[The buff will last for three days.]

Mei Wei could also use debuffs, but she was best in terms of buff abilities, so it was more efficient to use her buff abilities to increase their power. And with the buff from the marrow bone broth, her buff abilities would naturally improve.

“Rankers, come forward!”

Most of the rankers were already waiting for Minhyuk’s orders so they immediately stepped forward. That was when Mei Wei’s skills came into play. After a moment, white light shot out of Mei Wei’s hands, before turning into a gigantic woman wearing an armor made of light and helmet while holding a huge spear. Then, the Goddess of War cried loudly.

[Troops, advance!!!]

Then, the Goddess of War burst into specks of lights that seeped through the players’ bodies.

[The Goddess of War’s Cry]

[The Physical and Magical Attack of everyone within a nine meter radius will increase by 30%.]

[Your AGI will increase by 30%.]

[Your Attack Hit Rate will increase by 50%.]

[Your Critical Hit Rate will increase by 200%.]

“Heeeeeok?!”

“Keheoook?!”

“How… how can this be…?!”

The players that were within the nine meter radius were very shocked. Especially the ones with buff abilities too. They were very astonished after seeing the shocking ability displayed in front of them. Among them, there were some people that had received Mei Wei’s buff at least once.

“Are… are you Mei Wei…?”

So far, Mei Wei had never used her buff towards the Chinese players. She also refrained from using her debuffs. One of the reasons was because Mei Wei was well-known for her buff abilities. Some of the players with buff abilities might recognize her if she did so. However, she used it in consideration of Minhyuk’s orders.

“Did you say Mei Wei?”

“The global number one ranker, Mei Wei?”

“She’s our China’s pride, though…”

“The world’s greatest beauty!!!”

Mei Wei took off her mask amidst their murmurs. The entire world was left in shock the moment she revealed her face. She knew that she could not hide her identity any longer anyway. However, Mei Wei knew that her appearance right now would change the minds of those that were still hesitant to place their trust on the Food God.

“It’s really Mei Wei!”

“Mei Wei is Bread Shuttle…?”

“How could it be her…?”

Then, Mei Wei said, “Although I’m not good enough, I will also lend you my strength. So please, trust me and follow me.”

Then, one of the players asked, “Why, why did you serve the Food God? Why didn’t you fight for us in the Continent Cloud?!”

Mei Wei was very famous for her volunteering and donation activities all over the world. It was to the point that people deified her. And this deified Mei Wei said, “The Food God is my king.”

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

The world was shocked and the commentators were in a buzz from the global number one ranker’s declaration. The Chinese players knew that this was not what was important right now. So, what they did was grab their swords tightly.

Clench—

“It’s worth trying if we’re with Mei Wei.”

“Mei Wei!!!”

“Lead our charge!!!”

Mei Wei looked around them and said, “Put your trust in the Food God, follow him, and we will gain victory!”

“Uwaaaaaaaaaah!”

Their roars shook the sky.

On the other hand,

“Carr, I've been your fan since a long time ago.”

“Olympic Gold Medalist Carr!”

Carr, Korea’s official number one ranker and Olympic gold medalist in kendo, had countless fans from all over the world. His finals match in the Olympics was against a Chinese. During their match, Carr completely overwhelmed his Chinese opponent with his skills, which made the Chinese people unable to criticize nor speak ill of him.

Carr raised his sword high up in the sky and told his fans, “Lift your swords and protect the Food God! Follow him and fight for him and he will lead us to the path of victory!!! We will win!!!”

“Uwaaaaaaaaaah!”

The three of them moved and commanded the 25,000 strong troops.

[The, the three people that fought against them had now become their strongest and most reliable allies, and even moved to command them!]

[Global number one ranker, Mei Wei! Korea’s official number one ranker and Olympic gold medalist Carr! And their king, the Food God!]

[The 25,000 strong troops are now united! Perhaps there is a chance!!!]

Minhyuk took over the entire command and started giving his orders, “Spread out! Mage players, start casting and accumulating your most powerful magic! Send it to the air as soon as Vormon uses his skills!”

“Yes, sir!!!”

“Archer players! Focus your arrows on Vormon’s eyes! No matter how hard and tough his scales are, his eyes would still remain vulnerable!”

“Yes, sir!!!”

“Assassins, stick to Vormon’s body the moment he descends and continuously send your attacks! As long as you stick close to Vormon’s body, his magic will not reach you!”

“Yes, sir!!!”

“Priests, don’t spare your heals, use them on those that will stick close to Vormon. Make sure to take care of the allies around you and stick close to the melee players for protection!”

“Yes, sir!!!”

The world was in awe as they watched the Food God skillfully give out his orders, despite the dire situation that they were in. People from all over the world were in admiration at the scene.

Among the jet-black sea of the 25,000 strong army stood the Food God, Minhyuk. He lifted his Devil Judge’s Sword high up in the sky, like a shining beacon, as black light shot out from his sword.

“Let Vormon’s hunt begin!”

Minhyuk’s solemn and dignified voice rang loudly and made the entire world tremble. With his command, the 25,000 strong troops started to move.
