As he ran, Minhyuk quickly analyzed their surroundings and their situation.

The exact number of mini trolls running towards them was eleven. From what Minhyuk knew from his fight earlier, the mini trolls magic did not have any effect on him.

Compared to regular trolls, the actual power that a mini troll can exert is much lower.

Originally, the trolls were at Lv250 but it seemed like the mini trolls could only exert power equivalent to someone at Lv100. There was only one reason why the other users tagged them as troublesome. It was because they could use magic. However, Minhyuk already found out earlier that it did not work on him.

Ellies Swordsmanship, just like Hepas Legendary Frying Pan, had the ability to increase all of his stats by 15%.

It seems like my Ellies Swordsmanship is also improving. It will probably level up soon.

That wasnt all. Since Minhyuk had just increased his level by 1 earlier, he was now at Lv97. He was able to receive a surprising amount of EXP even after he divided the EXP with Rovan when he killed the mini troll earlier.

Not long after, Minhyuk leaped forward and slammed his frying pan on one of the mini trolls that was roaring loudly.

Clang!

He quickly passed by the mini troll with its head smashed in. Then, he swiftly activated Rampant Sword.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

The frying pan in his hand hit the mini trolls heads one by one. It was so fast that it even left afterimages. The frying pans attack power was at 400 and with the combination of Ellies Swordsmanship, its attack power had increased exponentially! In addition, every time he hit a mini troll on the head, he could hear a clear and loud sound!

Sounds perfect!

Minhyuk was in awe.

Suddenly, a mini troll launched an ice ball magic towards him. If an ice ball successfully hit its target, it could easily freeze the surrounding area. Minhyuk quickly stopped in his tracks and slapped the ice ball away with his frying pan.

Bang!

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

The mini troll that was hit back with the reflected ice ball that it casted was rapidly covered in ice.

Minhyuk continuously slapped the magic attacks that were flying towards him with his frying pan.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Rovan, who was running behind him, quickly joined the fray.

Slash!

The feeling of his thick greatsword getting stuck in the mini troll did not come, instead it felt like it slashed through.

Slash!

Fwoom!

Clang, clang!

The two men were able to fight eleven mini trolls without being pushed back!

As if to prove that Minhyuk was not the only one that was strong in their party, Rovans body glowed red.

Slash!

A mini troll tried to break his armor with its axe but its hands quickly broke down.

Graaaaaaa!

The Berserkers Bloody Frenzy had returned the damage!

Rovan gently lifted the large and heavy greatsword with one hand. He quickly struck out the mini trolls that were surrounding him.

Slash!

Slaaaaash!

Slash!

Slaaaash!

Meanwhile, Minhyuk was quickly moving around and slapping the HPs of the mini trolls down to zero before they could even regenerate.

Clang!

One shot!

Clang!

Two shots!

Clang!

Three shots!

Clang!

Hooo!

The two men who quickly dealt with eleven mini trolls looked around the surroundings.

Rovan looked at Minhyuk with awe as he smiled proudly at him.

Yeah. I admit that youre strong!

Hes a chef but hes this skilled?

However, he believed that the real power of the Berserker would shine from now on. It wasnt like Minhyuk was not attacked while he was fighting with the mini trolls earlier. The same was true for Rovan. But, Rovan had a clear advantage with his Berserker class in fights like this.

Red beads suddenly formed and leaked from the bodies of the mini trolls. Then, those red beads floated and seeped through Rovans body.

Swish!

As soon as the red beads were absorbed in his body, his minor injuries began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye. Smoke rose from his body as his wounds began to disappear.

His HP had recovered by 22% in one fell swoop!

A Berserker might look like it was just a frenzied warrior but they were also known as the tireless warrior. This was one of the charms of the Berserker class. Every 20 minutes, the Berserker would automatically activate its regenerative skill to regenerate his HP.

He also bought a healing skillbook for 1 billion gold.

A bright light suddenly engulfed his body.

Hey, isnt that the effect of a healing skillbook?

Eyyy. It looks like it can recover 4% of your HP.

Rovan chuckled when he heard the other users.

This is worth 1 billion gold. This item can even be traded for 50 million won on the trading site.

Wow. Is that the healing skillbook that Ive heard of?

Minhyuk, who had just finished with his item acquisition, approached him.

Yes. I have recovered 36% of my HP right now. Hoho. This is one of the strengths of a Berserker. We can continue hunting for quite some time even if we dont have a healer.

Oho. Is that so?

Minhyuk grinned at him. Rovan suddenly felt the chills when he looked at his smile.

Whats this? Why is he smiling like that?

Then, he heard Minhyuk say

Ah. Im hungry.

As he said that, he saw him pull out something from his inventory. It was a steamed bun.

Huh? Why is the steamed bun still steaming hot?

Rovan, who was not aware about Minhyuks food storage inventory, looked at him curiously. Normally, food that was stored in the normal inventory would cool down like it was left out in room temperature. This was why he was looking at the steamed bun curiously.

Minhyuk slowly bit on the steamed bun. Steam slowly rose as he bit on it. Then, as he gently chewed the steamed bun, the smooth and sweet flavor of the red bean paste slowly spread in his mouth. After swallowing his first bite, he opened his mouth and blew on the steam that was rising out of the steamed bun before taking another bite.

M, me too. Please give me a bite

No way!

Tch!

Rovan looked at him sullenly. As he stared at him, he suddenly saw

Shiiiiing

The small wounds that were covering Minhyuks body were slowly disappearing. His body seemed like it was recovering rapidly.

Huh?

The wounds were closing and recovering at a remarkable speed. The other users around them might not notice any difference but Rovan was different. Rovan could see how fast Minhyuks wound had been recovering.

This is impossible.

He couldnt say anything else. Just a moment earlier, he was bragging about this being something that was entirely special to Berserkers. But now

How in the world did that happen? Is that steamed bun something special? Is that steamed bun made by an alchemist?

Minhyuk, who recovered all of his HP after finishing his steamed buns, smiled at him.

You said that we could continue to hunt for quite a long time, right?

Yes.

Well. Do you think I can do the same?

Yes. If you can keep eating that mysterious steamed bun

For a moment, Rovan was quite confused. He did not understand why he was asking him these questions.

Then It suddenly clicked. He finally realized why he felt that his smile was quite ominous.

Ah. No. Wait. Lets do it after an hour

Bbiiiiiiiiiii!

Ack!

Minhyuk knew that his party member was strong and could hunt for quite a long time. He was also the same.

This is the chance to rush up and achieve Lv150!

He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

Monsters began to flock to where they were. Their numbers were more than the numbers from earlier. That wasnt the end of it all. From a little distance away from them, Minhyuk suddenly stretched his frying pan.

This crazy punk what is he going to do again!

At that moment, fire spread out from his frying pan.

Ah. What the hell. Are you a mage, a chef or a warrior?! This 3$#[emailprotected]%@@%.

Rovan was now completely confused. He saw Minhyuk quickly injuring the mob nearby as he used his aggro skill to pull the aggro of more than twenty monsters.

He thought that he was the one who would be using him as an attachment during his leveling frenzy but it turned out that he was the one who became an attachment.

Hell definitely get tired of this. Hell stop in two hours.

He was dreaming a futile dream.

After four hours.

Pl, please Can we stop hunting for a moment? Theres no one in the world who would continuously hunt for four hours and not even take a break!

Rovan had a pleading look on his face. He felt like he was completely exhausted in their four hours of hunting. He was as exhausted as a man who just came back from his honeymoon.

Didnt you tell me earlier that a Berserker is like an energizer, and you will never get tired? You even have the recovering ability. Whats wrong with you?

Rovan was someone that was well known and famous in Versal for his determination and persistence in hunting. He could even clear a dungeon with such a remarkable speed. The only reason why he could do that was because he kept on going even when the others were taking a rest. However, no matter how determined or persistent he was, he really couldnt keep up with this madman.

He thought

Is this the reason under this mans strength? He might have done this and that But he always continued to do it without any rest at all.

His level was even lower than Rovans level right now. That was why Rovan asked him

Why are you going as far as not taking any breaks, do you really want to be that strong?

Minhyuk looked at him seriously and frankly told him his reason.

I want to eat ducks.

Yes?

Its because I want to eat ducks.

N, no. Youve already killed a lot of ducks!

Ah, Nim!

Minhyuk looked at him and said

Weve only killed 40 magic ducks. Its just 40, it could easily slip away from our grasps. You dont know this, but if theyre just a little bit then they would easily break the flow of eating once theyre gone.

Youve killed 40 and you still think that your flow when eating will stop

Does that even make sense? was the thought that flashed through Rovans head. Then he thought hard and deep before nodding his head.

Ah, maybe it really will?

Earlier, he saw Minhyuk suddenly pulling out 6L of gatorade and drinking it in one go. Then he heard him say Oh, Ive finally moistened my throat..

Phew. If thats the case, then we can take a break while Im cooking.

Wow, finally..!

Rovan was deeply moved. He even bowed at a 90 degree angle to show his gratitude.

Thank you. Thank you. Im saved. Thank you.

I can finally take a rest! My god. I have been hunting for 4 hours straight!

Of course he was able to level up like crazy. He was able to increase his level by 10 in that 4 hours of pure torture. However, he never wanted to experience such a crazy thing again.

He wasnt really complaining about how long they hunted. His problem was the number of monsters. The monsters flock to them in the dozens. He could still feel that bone-chilling dread that he felt when the monsters attacked them from all sides. That feeling was something that he felt for four hours straight. At that time, Rovan clearly saw how strong Minhyuk was.

And right now, Minhyuk was preparing to cook while the lazy(?) Rovan rested.

What are you going to make?

Rovan asked him with a look of anticipation.

Minhyuk might be a crazy and strange person in Rovans eyes but he still acknowledged one thing.

The food that he cooks is really delicious!

When he was out of breath and tired earlier, Minhyuk shouted at him This pains my heart! then tore the bread from his hot dog buns and gave it to him.

No. If this person is truly generous then he should have given me the hotdog too!

But he was extremely hungry at that moment so he quickly gobbled up the bread.

It was truly delicious!

He told him that he made it himself. That was why Rovan was sure about his cooking skills. That was why he was looking at him excitedly.

Minhyuk smiled meaningfully at him and told him what he was going to cook.

Duck bulgogi.

TLs corner!!!

I wonder how duck bulgogi tastes like.
