Chapter 801

“Kihyeeeeeeeee!”

The enemies moved to attack the hatchling Luna, who was crying and flying toward Beanie. AOE magic from high-leveled ranker mages, ‘Power Shot’ from archers, and even swords and spears from the knights threatened to pierce Luna’s body.

Overcome with grief, Luna forgot the fears that almost devoured her as she continued to fly to where Beanie was. Just when the AOE magic attacks were about to hit her, something happened.

Flaaaaaash—

[The Supreme Divine Beast’s sealed passive skill has been released.]

[The Passive Skill: ‘Predator’s Wrath’ has been triggered!]

Beanie stood still and blocked the enemies’ path toward Luna.

“Ki, kihyeeeee…” Luna cried, her tears dripping down her cheeks as she stared at Beanie. He enveloped Luna in a tight hug using his small body.

“Oiiiiink…!” Don’t cry, oink!

Then, a golden barrier spread from Beanie’s body, surrounding him and Luna completely.

Slash, slash, slash, slash!

The powerful attacks were completely blocked by the barrier.

“A, a golden barrier…?”

Rex knew who that barrier belonged to. There was only one player in the entire Athenae that could cast a golden barrier. It was none other than Golden Mage Ali.

However, it was something that Rex could not understand. According to their investigations, Beanie could only use the Predator’s Authority once. Beanie had already used his Predator’s Authority when he cast ‘Overlord’s Technique’ earlier.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaa—

The thick cloud of dust that covered the golden barrier disappeared. Beanie, who was holding Luna in his arms, landed gently on the ground. Then, he stroked Luna’s head and smiled softly at her.

[Predator’s Wrath.]

[The HP of the target, who had died once, will recover to 50%.]

[Randomly selecting skills from the list of skills that you have preyed on before.]

[The higher the level or rank of the skill, the lower its chances of being chosen.]

[You can use a total of six skills.]

[You can use your skills within four minutes.]

Beanie smiled softly at Luna as he slowly placed her down.

“Oiiink. Oink.” Don’t worry, oink.

Beanie slowly turned around and walked toward their enemies. The expression on Beanie’s face was terrifying. Then, black bones began to appear and cover his body.

[You are using the second skill.]

[You have used the Dragon Sword and Dragon Armor!]

Slowly, the black bones that appeared and covered his body turned into armor. When Beanie drew the kitchen knife that was hanging on his waist, black bones also covered it. This time, it turned into a longsword.

The second skill that he used was Black Dragon’s Dragon Sword and Dragon Armor.

[Upon equipping the Dragon Sword, all of your attack will increase by 15%. Your skill damage will also increase by 10%!]

[Upon equipping the Dragon Armor, all of your defense will increase by 20%. Your HP volume will also increase by 20%.]

“Wh, what…?!”

“He can use multiple skills?!”

Everyone looked at Beanie in surprise. They knew that this skill belonged to Black Dragon.

Beanie sported a cold gaze as he continued to walk as the black armor and the dragon sword completed their transformations. Fluttering on his back was a white cape that carried the symbol of a fork and knife crossed together. At this point, his enemies firmly believed that Beanie would no longer be able to use any more skills.

‘There’s no way that he can use any more of the ability that allows him to replicate and use his opponent’s skills, right?’

‘If that’s possible, then Beanie’s existence could be considered as a balance breaker.’

Since Beanie could replicate the skills of his opponents, it meant that the skills of named boss monsters were not impossible. However, everyone believed that this was a very difficult feat.

Hansen, who had been putting pressure on Black Dragon, immediately jumped at Beanie. “You’re nothing but a mere baby pig! How dare you show such an arrogant and impudent expression, huh?!”

To be honest, Hansen personally disliked baby piggy Beanie. He believed that this pig was only arrogant because he had the backing of his master. However, Beanie moved faster than Hansen, his sword already slashing at Hansen’s body even before Hansen’s sword could reach him.

[You are using the third skill.]

[Sword of Carnage]

[Movement speed increases by ten times and cuts down your enemy in an instant.]

[The opponent cut down by your sword will suffer from thirty eight sword attacks in one second. Each of the sword attacks will have 2,000% additional damage.]

[You have ignored all of your enemy’s defenses.]

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—

Beanie’s expression remained cold. He did not even look back as he passed by Hansen and continued forward. Hansen just collapsed on the ground after receiving 38 consecutive strikes, wearing a dumbfounded expression.

“…Isn’t that the Food God’s skill?”

“What the hell…”

“What the hell is that baby piggy?!”

Rex, Henry, and their hired troops were all thrown into disarray. Hansen was considered as one of the strongest people among their group. But he was easily cut down like that. Beanie leapt to the skies with an arrogant expression on his face. He watched as they all scrambled to retreat.

“Oiiiiiiiink. Oink, oink!” Mercenaries’ Pinnacle Swordsmanship.

“Oiiiiiiink!” Final Chapter.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Hundreds of bloody red sword lights illuminated the skies before devouring the enemies beneath them. High rankers? Name NPCs? Those titles were useless. Brod, the owner of the power that was trampling on them, was stronger than anybody else.

The bloody red sword lights that shot out from Beanie’s sword continued to devour the enemies. Now, there were less than 70 surviving enemies, who were all groaning from pain.

Black Dragon, who watched this scene unfold, was in awe. ‘I never expected that he could wield this much power.’

Black Dragon had learned about Beanie’s hidden power after his conversation with Minhyuk. He had asked Minhyuk if he had told anyone about this, but Minhyuk replied that he had not told anyone, not even Beanie.

—Predator’s Wrath is a skill that has been unlocked just recently. Although it’s only temporary, this skill can allow Beanie to become one of the strongest powerhouses and allow him to surpass everyone in the world. However, it has two weak points.

—First, the condition for triggering the skill is extremely bad. It requires Beanie’s HP to reach zero. In other words, it can only be triggered once he's dead. If Beanie knew about this, he would most likely endure and take on the pain of dying the moment the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom is in danger.

Minhyuk had a point there. It might not be that obvious, but Beanie loved Minhyuk and the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom more than anybody else in the world. He would do anything for Minhyuk and Luna, even if it meant that he had to experience the pain of dying.

—The second loophole can be seen after the skill’s activation. He can use six skills but the skills will be randomly selected. It is even set up in a way that the chosen skills will only be revealed step by step. In other words, the skill user would not be able to know what skill would be chosen in advance. The following skill would only be available for viewing after he had finished using the current skill. There’s also the problem about the type of skill chosen. Some of the skills might be extraordinary, while some might be very useless for the situation. If all of the skills chosen turn out to be useless, then the worth of the skill is not enough for Beanie to risk his life, right?

Minhyuk was right. The two disadvantages were too glaring.

Black Dragon looked at the enemies that Beanie had killed. He never expected that Beanie would be able to deal with so many enemies by himself. However, the problem came after that. Even though the surviving enemies were suffering from both major and minor injuries, there were still more than 60 of them left.

‘I hope that whatever skills come next will be outstanding skills…’

If that could not happen, then the only way for them to get out of this situation was for Minhyuk to arrive as soon as he could.

[There’s six minutes left.]

Black Dragon was in a constant state of anxiety. However, they could not blame Minhyuk. Even if he knew their current location, there was no way for him to warp to this place. After all, he had never saved a warp point in this area. The only thing that he could do was rush to warp to the nearest village in this area. No one could blame for Minhyuk coming late.

Meanwhile, Beanie glared as he sliced the neck of one of the players.

Spuuuuuurt—

There were no ripples in Beanie’s eyes as he continued to pass by his enemies one after another. Because of that, Henry and Rex could not get a glimpse of what was going through his head.

‘Does he still have more skills?’

‘Did he use all of the skills that he can use? But looking at that gaze… I think he still has a few more skills up his sleeves, right?’

However, contrary to their thoughts, Beanie was not calm. He was actually groaning deep inside.

[You are using the fourth skill.]

[The Author’s Tenacity.]

[The moment you pick your pen and write, you will fall into a state of trance. Your thoughts will disappear and your inspiration will come to mind.]

Beanie had not only preyed on offensive skills, but also support and non-combat skills. He had many different kinds of skills to choose from. One of these skills was none other than the Author’s Tenacity, the skill of the bestselling author, Aruvel. The skill was obviously great and outstanding. However, it was currently completely useless in the situation that they were in.

Slaaaaaaash—

After cutting down another of his enemies, Beanie looked at the skill that emerged once again.

‘Oink. Oiiiiiiiink…’

He was in a very embarrassing situation. Beanie was in desperate need of strong and powerful skills right now. But the two skills that came out were completely useless to Beanie right now.

[The fifth skill is the Illusory Extraction.]

This was a skill possessed by the legendary barista and the Spear God, Ben. It was an amazing skill that could allow him to extract coffee beans without using any kind of machine. However, it was to no purpose at the current moment.

Rex realized that something was off when he saw Beanie cutting down the enemies that were about to die.

“That, that pig bastard…”

What did he mean by calling a baby piggy a pig bastard? Of course, those words resonated with them in their hearts. That was why all of the surviving troops turned to look at Rex when they heard his words.

“He’s not using any skills right now. He must have no other skills left to use.”

“Now that I think about it…”

“That’s right. Even though he only needs one AOE skill to wipe us out he’s…”

That was certainly the case. Beanie was left flustered when everyone had discovered his carefully hidden thoughts. His enemies had all come back to their senses. They quickly took this opportunity and finally made their move.

Beanie hurriedly used the Illusory Extraction to see what the last and final skill was.

[You are using the fifth skill.]

[Illusory Extraction.]

[You have used the Illusory Extraction.]

[There are no coffee beans to extract!]

Since there were no beans to extract, the skill naturally disappeared.

Meanwhile, the enemies continued to send one attack after another at Beanie.

Staaaaaaaaab—

Several spears pierced through Beanie’s bulging belly.

“O, ooooiiiiiiink…!”

There were also several sword attacks that slashed Beanie, his small body tearing apart from the attacks.

Ping, ping, ping, ping, ping—

“Oink…!”

Beanie screamed in pain as his HP rapidly decreased once again. He was once again on the verge of death. However, Beanie knew that this would be a real death. He squeezed the last of his strength to look at his final skill.

“Oiiiiiiiiink…!”

There was a wide smile on Beanie’s face.

[You are using the sixth skill.]

[Summon.]

[Searching for the people that you are connected to.]

[You are connected to your master, ‘Minhyuk’!]

[Summoning Master ‘Minhyuk’!]

***

[That day was the first time that I saw my father’s wrath.]

[The sword that my father wielded had the power of his comrades and friends.]

[Among these powers was the power of Uncle Brod, the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s Commander-in-chief, and the one hailed as the Fallen Wretched Emperor.]

[When my father told me his side of the story back then, he said that he almost went crazy. The fourth skill, the Author’s Tenacity, and the fifth skill, the Illusory Extraction, were both skills that were useless in battle.]

[Because of that, my father was once again left in danger. He used the last of his strength to check the final skill.]

[He was overcome with relief and happiness at that moment, because the last skill that my father used allowed him to see the person that he loved, cherished and respected the most in the world.]

[The skill allowed him to summon Minhyuk, my first father.]
