Chapter 1171

Beanie’s charge had swept away more than 200 people. All of them had turned to ashes swept away by the wind. Those who could defend against the attack were not left unscathed either. Some of them were left seriously injured and unable to move. Some had their arms broken, while some had necks bent at a strange angle, with their rough and weak breathing the only indication that they were still alive.

The reason why things turned out this way was because they had been too hasty in trying to deal with the Supreme.

There were roughly 200 survivors, with 50 of them sustaining severe injuries.

The main task of the mages, summoners, and necromancers was to restrict Minhyuk’s movement. This was because they couldn’t deal much damage to the Supreme. So, they were a bit further away. The ones with the worst outcomes were the close-combat class guardians who had gathered together upfront.

Khan and Ares both sustained severe injuries. But despite that, they still struggled to stand up in the catastrophic scene left behind by Beanie’s charge.

The viewers, who saw a red haze burst out from the tattered bodies of the two men, were all left dumbstruck. Then, the notifications rang.

[The gods called the Giant Brothers have fought and sparred against the Giant tens of thousands of times.]

[Despite being unable to win against the Giant even once, they continued to fight just so they could chase after someone.]

This was God’s Voice, and the Giant Brothers it was talking about was none other than Khan and Ares.

[They continued swinging their arms even if already broken.]

[They continued to stand up even if they were already gripped by frustration.]

[They managed to endure and survive despite it being harsh.]

[And they did it all to reach that man.]

It wouldn’t be strange if the two men standing closest to Minhyuk collapsed right away. But the red haze from their bodies was a testament to their determination and will.

At the same time, the power that they had obtained was revealed to the world.

[The Giant Brothers demand the gods’ response.]

[The Giant Brothers vow to take the lead and stand at the forefront.]

[The Giant Brothers want to gather those with the same beliefs.]

[Those who accept God’s Coliseum will be able to receive the power that will allow them to forget the pain coursing through their veins and allow them to use all of their strength.]

The viewers’ blood was boiling. This was a power that had never been shown to the world before. Another God\'s voice rang as the power seeped out of the two.

[The Slaughterer Asura vows to stand by your side.]

[The God of Shields vows to stand by your side.]

[The God of Magic vows to stand by your side.]

[The God of Archery vows to stand by your side.]

At the same time, red haze began to rise from the bodies of the seriously injured people who had chosen to accept their offer. Their fierce determination and strong will started to heat the battlefield again.

“Let’s win. Even if it’s just once.” Khan gritted his teeth.

They were rivals and competitors before they were friends. At least once, he wanted to show off his desire to win against Minhyuk as his competitor.

[God’s Coliseum will now begin.]

[Those within the God’s Coliseum will use their remaining HP in exchange for more power.]

[You can forget the pain coursing through your veins and push your body past your limits.]

[But those who have agreed to God’s Coliseum will not be able to stop.]

The viewers noticed that the players who had accepted the God’s Coliseum would eventually die. Even so, most of the gods chose to participate.

Minhyuk, standing alone amid the red haze floating on the battlefield, listened to their voices through the notification. He did not mock them or ignore them.

[The God Standing at the Highest Place is looking at you.]

At that moment, the guardians covered with red haze leaped forward. And among those at the forefront was none other than Khan.

Khan unleashed his power, which he had used before to knock down a boss monster all at once, leaving people astonished.

[Giant’s Battle Energy.]

The haze covering Khan’s arms grew a deeper shade of red as it grew in size.

Bang–!

His punch, which sounded like a cannon being fired, carried power that was beyond imagination.

[You can inflict 37,000% additional damage to a single target.]

BOOM–!

The viewers watched in awe as he swiftly moved and released such powerful force. At that moment, Battle God Minhyuk spoke.

[He says, I have been working hard so I will not lose.]

[He says, I understand what you feel.]

[That’s why...]

[He will not back down.]

Swoosh–!

Silver scales began to cover Minhyuk’s body, starting from his toes.

The public was already aware of the existence of Minhyuk’s Black Dragon Armor. But this armor that looked like it was made from silver scales was something that they had never seen yet. After all, this was his newly acquired Silver Dragon Armor. And the one who added this effect to his armor was Leo, the greatest blacksmith who created the Eleven Greatest Weapons.

BANG–!

The Giant’s Battle Energy struck Minhyuk, but Minhyuk was able to withstand the additional 37,000% damage. Even though the ground beneath his feet had collapsed, he did not take a single step away from his position. The one who collapsed was none other than Khan.

“Keuhaaaack!”

[The Defier.]

[You have a 45% chance of reflecting the damage inflicted when being attacked by enemies.]

[You have a 70% chance of reflecting the damage of close-range attacks.]

[Your defensive power will instantly increase 1.3x upon activating The Defier.]

This was The Defier, the most incredible power that the Silver Dragon Armor, an armor that possessed the highest defensive power that Minhyuk had ever seen.

In the first place, the Transcendental’s Armor was already unmatched. The Silver Dragon, an armor that possessed the highest defensive power that Minhyuk had, was a level beyond that. In this situation, the Silver Dragon Armor acted like a strong shield that no one could easily pierce or break apart.

While Khan was left dumbfounded, the other close-combat players had already made a move and attacked Minhyuk. But no matter what they did, Minhyuk did not receive any damage. The worst part? It was them who received the damage.

Shwaaa!

“Keuaaaaack!”

And the same was true for arrows. God of Archery Miao shot an arrow that was aimed at Minhyuk’s heart, but she was the one who ended up grabbing her chest and screaming.

More than a hundred guardians attacked Minhyuk, but regardless of the type of attack, it was them who ended up collapsing.

[The God Standing at the Highest Place says he will remember today’s battle.]

Minhyuk also did not remain idle. He attacked them non-stop and tried to recover his HP using Slaughterer’s Absorption. But the problem was it was very difficult for him to keep up with the speed at which his HP dropped.

His HP continued to shoot down.

‘Everyone has gone insane.’

Minhyuk felt delighted. Even though his opponents knew that their damage would be reflected instead of truly inflicting damage on him, they continued to attack him. After all, only by attacking Minhyuk would they be able to charge forward. That was why they continued to do so even if they suffered colossal damage.

Minhyuk could only take another potion after seeing the damage he was receiving.

Dozens of guardians gathered together with Khan and Ares, who were well-versed in inflicting consecutive damages.

[The Giant’s Dragon, Tiger, and Lion has been activated!]

Minhyuk’s eyes grew wide. The Dragon and Tiger was a power that he was already aware of. It was originally a power that could inflict 200% additional damage upon successfully triggering consecutive attacks within 0.9 seconds. On top of that, the skill user would gain invincibility during the skill’s three-second duration.

A 200% increase in damage for every successful consecutive attack that Khan and Ares launched would mean that the additional damage he could receive could reach up to 50,000%. Of course, the drawback was that they had to complete their attack within 0.9 seconds.

The power that allowed them to hold off a Pillar grew stronger and put heavy pressure upon Minhyuk.

[If you can successfully launch an attack within 0.6 seconds and link it with your other attacks, then you can inflict 400% additional damage to your opponent.]

[Upon triggering the Dragon, Tiger, and Lion, you will enter an invincible state for seven seconds. Each successful consecutive attack will let you enter into an invincible state.]

[The Dragon, Tiger, and Lion will be applied to all who accept God’s Coliseum.]

Minhyuk tried to widen the distance between him and the guardians, but it was too late. They, covered with a red haze, completely showed their fierce determination to win against Minhyuk. Of course, they might be unable to use the full effects of the Dragon, Tiger, and Lion, but the skill allowed them to remain invincible for seven straight seconds.

Ares’ punch landed on Minhyuk’s abdomen.

[Successful consecutive attacks! Additional 400% damage has been inflicted!]

Immediately after that, Ares raised his leg and kicked Minhyuk’s neck.

Swoosh–!

[Successful consecutive attacks! Additional 400% damage has been inflicted!]

Then, Asura Ascar moved forward and slashed at Minhyuk.

[Successful consecutive attacks! Additional 400% damage has been inflicted!]

After that, Valentino slammed into him with his shield.

What about the Silver Dragon Armor’s The Defier? It was useless. After all, everyone was in a seven-second invincible state. And with the consecutive attacks, they could maintain the invincible state.

Eight attacks landed on Minhyuk from all directions every second.

“Kghhk!”

Slash, slash, slash–!

[Successful consecutive attacks!]

[Successful consecutive attacks!]

[Successful consecutive attacks!]

[The Dragon, Tiger, and Lion’s additional damage has exceeded 3,000%!]

The Silver Dragon Armor\'s high regeneration speed could not keep up with their attacks, resulting in dents all over the once tough and solid armor.

Minhyuk was both horrified and in awe at the display of their power. Even if it was just Khan and Ares present, Minhyuk believed it would be difficult for him to gain victory. After all, Minhyuk was already in a state where he had to receive help from the various items that he received from the mission.

“Sorry, Minhyuk. But this is the end.”

Thanks to their never-ending attacks, Minhyuk’s HP was rolling straight down to the bottom.

They also noticed that Minhyuk could no longer take the recovery potions that he received as rewards for his mission. Meanwhile, the viewers could see the attacks the invincible guardians had launched at Minhyuk from all sides.

Boom–!

Ares kicked Minhyuk, his body bending weirdly as he flew to the sky. The blood that spurted out of his mouth was proof that it was finally his last moments.

Right below him was Ascar, who was waiting for him with her greatsword. The Dragon, Tiger, and Lion’s additional damage has increased to 7,000%. If her greatsword pierced through his body, it would signal this battle\'s beautiful end.

‘I cut down the Supreme standing at the highest place. I cut down the man that I longed for and loved deeply.’

A smile curled at the corners of Ascar’s mouth.

‘Today, we were able to win against Minhyuk...’

But then, something unusual happened.

Minhyuk had killed more than 200 guardians with Beanie’s charge earlier. Back then, he had chosen to hold off on receiving his rewards. Since he had killed more than a hundred of the enemies, he could obtain quite a few items.

They saw an empty potion bottle falling from the sky. This meant that Minhyuk had already taken the potion.

[You have consumed the Limit Breaker Potion.]

Players acquired many skills but could not use them due to restrictions. Minhyuk was no exception. He also possessed a talent that he could not use. And it was none other than this skill.

‘Fusion.’

Crackle, crackle, crackle–!

A man appeared in the sky. And in a flash of light, his figure blurred as he entered Minhyuk’s sword, Comrade. At the same time, black light slowly covered Minhyuk’s body.

Minhyuk swung the sword, which contained Obren’s power, at Ascar.

Shwaaaa–!

More than a hundred guardians have already gathered together to wait for the grand finale of the battle. This allowed Minhyuk to trample on them all at once.

“Absolute Monarch.”

THUD–!

Minhyuk, who had already stopped his descent midair, took several steps in the air and rushed at them. All of the guardians that had been suppressed were looking at Minhyuk in horror.

“Calamity.”

A gigantic black wing unfolded in the sky above and devoured them. Explosions erupted one after another and led them to their deaths. Every single one of them suffered from the pain of their bodies being torn apart. No one was left unscathed from the explosion.

But it was not yet over. A gleam appeared in the eyes of the guardians. One of the guardians, who had lost their arm, stood up again. Another guardian, who had lost both legs, employed the help of another guardian to fly forward. They continued to advance until the screen turned black, and they were forced to log out.

[Giant’s Final Light.]

[You will burn your vitality and fight your opponent to the death for three seconds!]

[Your attack power will increase by 1.6x for three seconds.]

Khan, with only one arm left, rose to the sky and punched Minhyuk in the abdomen.

Bang–!

Ares immediately kicked Minhyuk when he saw the man’s upper body lean to the side.

Boom–!

They did not let up with their attacks.

Crackle–!

The red haze covering their bodies burst like wildfire in their last moments. Even after using the Final Light, many of them still died.

And Minhyuk? Even though he was plunging toward his death, he used up all of his skills and continued to cut, stab, and swing his sword at his enemies. Minhyuk’s HP fell to less than 3% in that short time.

But the guardians’ attacks were relentless. They continued to fire attacks, from punches to kicks to swords and even iron maces and axes, from all directions. The constant attacks had forced Minhyuk’s HP to fall to the ground.

[You have only 1% of HP left.]

Surprisingly enough, Minhyuk looked relieved.

[The Giant’s Final Light has ended.]

At that moment, Minhyuk saw Ares and Khan, whose forms had already turned.

The two, who had taken on the Giant Brothers, aimed for Minhyuk with their fist and legs. Shockingly enough, the two were already in a forced logout state. But they could calculate everything, even to the point of their death.

Khan’s fist made contact with Minhyuk’s body even though his body was already slowly turning into ashes.

Bang–!

And even Ares, who was also slowly turning into ashes, could drop a kick at him. There was even a tiny smile on his face as he succumbed to his death.

Bang–!

The viewers saw Minhyuk among the ashes, slowly drifting in the wind. His body was also slowly turning into ashes, but he had a smile on his face as he disappeared with the wind.

Thud–!

Minhyuk collapsed on the ground before completely disappearing from everyone’s sight.

The viewers, watching from the sky above, could see that all the guardians who attacked him had also turned ashes.
