Salov’s Land.
Remy, who was in a party of four, was hurriedly trying to cast heal on a warrior user named Corco.
“Holy power, please lend me your strength!”
[Heal.]
[Restores 25% of the HP of your specified target.]
The wounds that were littered all over Corco’s body were starting to heal.
“Ugh! These damned spiderwebs!”
The spiderwebs of the Salovs were extremely tough. It was one of the reasons why they were extremely hard to fight against.
The archer user quickly used his skill to fend off the monster’s attacks.
[Triple Shot.]
[Three arrows will be fired consecutively.]
Tak!
Tak!
Tak!
The arrow stuck on the body of the Salov! Before they knew it, Corco had already dwindled down and cut down the body of the Salov with his axe.
Slam!
“Kkiiiieeee!”
Slam!
The Salov died not long after.
“Hoo. That was really tough.”
Corco sighed deeply.
Remy’s party members were all at Lv200. If there were two Salovs that came out to fight with the four of them then the fight would still be ongoing. The only reason why the Salov was quite difficult to fight despite the fact that they were at the same level was because of their tough webs. Once they got caught in those webs then it would be extremely difficult to remove themselves from it. Remy had the ability to remove the web but her MP wouldn’t be able to keep up with the fight.
However, the EXP and rewards were extremely satisfying that they would still happily hunt those spiders even if they felt that they were walking on a tightrope every time they did so.
At that moment…
“Bbiiiiiiiiiiii!”
“A bird’s cry?”
The sound was not jarring or uncomfortable but it was so sudden that they couldn’t help but tilt their heads to follow the sound.
But they couldn’t help but to hold back their gasps. The cliffs surrounding the area, which was previously just the color of ordinary cliffs, suddenly turned black.
“Why did the cliffs suddenly become black?”
The archer user used his skills to look in the distance.
[Hawk’s Eye.]
[Vision will temporarily be twice as good as your normal vision.]
“Heok……?!”
The archer user stepped back as he trembled in fear.
“What’s wrong?”
The archer’s lips were quivering as he contemplated on what to say.
“It’s…… no…… bla……”
“Yes?”
“The cliffs did not become black! Those are all Salovs!”
“……heok?!”
“Kyaa!”
Each and everyone of them were taken by surprise.
The cliffs. The black thing that filled the cliffs are all Salovs?
It looked like the number of the monsters were in the hundreds.
Then, at that moment…
They saw a man running through the cliffs. The man was wearing a frying pan on his back together with a horned helmet on his head.
“……Cosplay?”
This was what they thought of since a lot of people were wearing the same thing.
“D, don’t tell me that he took all of those aggro?”
“Crazy…… That’s impossible.”
“I think that user is the real Frying Pan Killer?”
“Yes?”
Remy looked back at Corco when they heard his words.
“In the video of the Frying Pan Killer, he made a strange bird cry and drew the aggro of the surrounding monsters. The same is true right now……”
“Wow. I’m going to take a screenshot! But what the hell is that bird cry to draw aggro like this?”
It was truly an amazing aggro ability that was enough to break common sense.
What was more amazing was the fact that the man could easily slice through the spiderwebs with his sword all while being chased by a huge amount of Salovs. He did not even let a single attack lay on him.
“But what’s wrong with those mobs? You’re too naive……”
In all honesty, it did not make sense to draw the aggro of such a huge number of mobs. Meanwhile, the Frying Pan Killer went inside a cave.
“Ah. Maybe……!”
Corco looked as if he finally realized what the Frying Pan Killer was trying to do.
“Maybe there’s a small space in the cave where only one Salov can only get in?”
“A small space?”
“Yes. The user will first enter that small space. Then, a Salov will definitely follow him inside. Once a Salov enters that small space then the user will hunt it. And if it dies, another Salov will fill in the gap.”
“Oho. Then the time to look for mobs will definitely be reduced? Huh? But isn’t it impossible because of the mob’s body?”
“We can use Livis’ Corpse to make sure that the body will disappear right away for 1 hour.”
Livis’ Corpse was a scroll that users use when they hunt especially if they did not want to see any dead bodies littered around the place.
“Aha!”
“Huh? But, when you think about it again……”
Corco was astonished.
“I can’t believe that he’s trying to hunt hundreds of them in one go…… When you think about it, it doesn’t make sense either…… Doesn’t that person get tired? His HP won’t be able to hold out either.”
It was possible to hunt Salovs one by one in such a small space but it was only possible if there were around 5~10 Salovs. However, he’s hunting hundreds of Salovs just like that?
“It doesn’t even make sense for a single person to hunt hundreds of those monsters one by one……”
They all turned to look at the cave. All of them were wondering whether they could still be able to enter the cave with the amount of Salovs that entered. There were still a lot of them stuck near the entrance.
However, something more amazing happened.
“Heok……?”
The Salovs, who seemed to be unable to enter the cave, suddenly began to move again and flood inside.
‘That means that there’s an empty space so he can keep on hunting!’
All of the Salovs finally entered the cave.
They looked at it as they took their rest.
Then…
The Frying Pan Killer came out of the cave again. Then, he stretched himself and went back inside again.
“……OMG?!”
“I, impossible. He hunted hundreds of those within 20 minutes?!”
That’s impossible!
“Shall we go and take a look over there? It’s a good chance to go and get some screenshots too.”
Corco looked at him with admiration and surprise.
“That’s right!”
Just as they were about to move, a shadow was suddenly cast above them. All of them felt extremely uneasy beneath that shadow.
Then…
Puhaaa!
Puhaaa!
Spiderwebs wound their body up. They looked behind them and saw four Salovs.
The four Salovs took advantage of their blindspot and inattentiveness to sneak up on them and bind them with their spiderwebs!
They were all forced to log out!
“Ah, I’m so annoyed! It’s a relief that my level did not drop.”
Remy, or Hyun-ah, came out of the capsule and rubbed her hair in annoyance. Then, she suddenly thought…
“Ah, I still got the screenshot. Right?”
They weren’t able to get a glimpse of the events in the cave but there were still plenty of users who were dying to know and get a look at the Frying Pan Killer! What was more important was that the picture that she took was the picture of the Frying Pan Killer running with hundreds of Salovs after him.
She hurriedly posted the screenshot she took and shared it to the world.
***
Minhyuk, who was just checking his level, was smiling contentedly. He was already nearing Lv200.
He just went outside to draw the monsters inside so he could get the seeds that he needed. The moment the Salovs entered the cave, the Twin Headed Ogre, Red Troll and Wyvern all hunted them down. The Twin Headed Ogre was over Lv300 so it could deal with dozens of Salovs without breaking any sweat. And there were still other stronger monsters so the hundreds of Salovs were no match for them at all. In addition, since Minhyuk was the one who drew the aggro of the monsters, he was also able to get 10~20% of EXP since he contributed in the hunt. With just that 10~20% he was able to quickly level up.
What was more was that the EXP given when he fed the monsters allowed him to bomb his way up in his levels. And right now!
[You have acquired the Roasted Seaweed.]
[You have collected all of the ingredients and dishes in the Fantastic Home Cooked Dishes.]
“Kgghk!”
Minhyuk was so happy. He could now stop feeding the monsters in a frenzy. Now was the time for him to eat!
He quickly prepared the dishes using the ingredients that he had just acquired. He first boiled the doenjangjjigae in an earthen pot.
Then he cooked the deliciously seasoned spinach and bean sprouts. He prepared the garlic, sesame oil, salt and sesame seeds. These ingredients were essential to make a delicious seasoned vegetable dish. The sesame oil would tweak the bland taste of the vegetables and add a savory flavor while the crushed garlic would accompany and catch the soft taste of the vegetables and harmonize with the rest of the flavors of the dish. And the salt will add that salty flavor while the sesame seeds would emphasize the flavor of the sesame.
After he finished preparing the seasoned vegetables, he saw that the doenjangjjigae was now boiling. Then he took his spoon, scooped out a spoonful, blew on it to lower the temperature and sipped it all in one gulp.
“Slurp! Kya! This moderately spicy and savory flavor is the best!”
Minhyuk liked his doenjangjjigae on the spicier side. And his doenjangjjigae was more savory since he mixed half doenjang and half cheonggukjang in the soup.
Then, he began to grill the salted mackerel.
Sizzle!
He might be in big trouble if he grilled the salted mackerel wrongly. The point of this is to cook the flesh inside well. And once you cooked the outside to a crisp then it would be the best of the best!
After he finished cooking the salted mackerel, Minhyuk looked at the table that he had set.There were salted mackerel, seasoned spinach, seasoned bean sprouts, dried seaweed with nothing on it and roasted seaweed, and steamed eggs in an earthen pot.
“Kya!”
He couldn’t help but admire the table. Then, he opened the lid of the doenjangjjigae once more.
Shwaaaaa!
Steam rose up from the pot. The steam was already delicious in and on itself. Minhyuk took a spoon and tasted the doenjangjjigae first.
“Kghhk! Good, it tastes excellent!”
This was the taste that calls for rice. It was the savory and spicy doenjangjjigae! Then he scooped out a lot of doenjangjjigae on his pot. Tofu, zucchini, enoki mushroom, and other ingredients came with it. Then, he brought it near the rice and poured some soup over the rice. He then mashed the zucchini and tofu together with the rice and placed it in his mouth.
“Chew, chew. Good. It’s really good!”
He mumbled happily.
Then, he placed a seaweed on top of his rice and easily folded it in half. He quickly dipped it in soy sauce before placing it in his mouth. The crispy texture of the seaweed and the salty flavor of the soy sauce was truly excellent!
He couldn’t help but chuckle at the taste.
He stretched his spoon towards the soft steamed eggs next. Minhyuk blew softly at the yellow steamed eggs. Once he placed it in his mouth, he could taste the green onion from the soft and chewy steamed eggs.
“Wow. Isn’t this too awesome?”
Minhyuk, who was still reeling from the taste of the steamed eggs, tore the meat off of the salted mackerel. Then, he added it to a spoonful of hot rice. The steam was still rising rapidly from the rice. He carefully placed it on top of the piping hot rice and placed it in his mouth in one go!
“Chomp!”
The savory taste of the salted mackerel made the taste of the rice infinitely better. Then, he dipped it in soy sauce with wasabi and took another bite.
“Wow! It’s a rice thief! A rice thief, I say!”
That wasn’t the end.
He added steamed eggs over the rice again, mixed it well and placed the delicious combo in his mouth. The slightly salt steamed eggs and the piping hot rice combined to create an extremely pleasant taste.
The Food God’s home cooked set meal was extremely delicious!
He was filled with overwhelming admiration for the man who left it for him.
Minhyuk, who had finished eating all of the dishes in front of him, heard the notifications.
[You have eaten a God’s Dish.]
[You have leveled up.]
Minhyuk nodded his head when he heard the notifications. The level up might not have been much but it seemed like the rewards for this dish was focused on the EXP and items gained from feeding the monsters as well as the monster egg. However, Minhyuk still felt that he had received the best reward from the God’s Dish that he had eaten.
As he finished his food, Minhyuk felt that he might have forgotten something.
“Now, it’s a bit disappointing.”
He wanted to have something that was more delicious. Then, he looked around and saw the sleeping Chronicle!
When he asked the other monsters, the other monsters said that Chronicle tended to sleep a lot. When she fell asleep, sometimes it would take a week before she woke up.
Minhyuk quietly crept up towards the sleeping Chronicle.
***
Chronicle slowly woke up from her sleep.
When she saw that Minhyuk was plowing the fields vigorously to try and save the monsters, she gladly gazed at him and fell asleep without any worries.
Recently, she had slept more because she was hungry. She slept so deeply that no noise could ever rouse her from her sleep.
Chronicle, who was on the verge of waking up, heard a sound near her.
“Right, right. Good job, well done…… The wyverns should come closer.”
‘What are they doing?’
She listened in a daze as they worked somewhere in her vicinity. Then she heard the sound of something ripping.
“Keuhaha! The hotbar that’s heated with fire is really delicious!”
The voice was whispering but his words and joy were truly contagious.
“Let’s grill it one more time. Yes, yes. Be careful not to wake……”
Then, Chronicle woke up completely. The now awake Chronicle could see…
Minhyuk was holding a skewer with five hotbars on it while riding on a wyvern and roasting it on her own fire.
“……?”
“……”
“……?”
“……”
Minhyuk made eye contact with Chronicle. He looked at her silently while Chronicle also remained silent.
