ur mouth water, right? Haha!”

A thought flashed through Team Leader Park’s mind, ‘Player Minhyuk will probably be drooling once he hears this.’

Team Leader Park shook his head and grinned at the thought.

[You can acquire the Active Skill: Save.]

[You can acquire the Active Skill: Dark Fire Storm.]

[You have a total of three skills that can be saved using the Eccentric Food God’s Skill.]

[You can either delete ‘Earth Quake’ or ‘Absorption’ to acquire both new skills or only select one of the new skills.]

Minhyuk had successfully acquired two new skills, but he could see that he was given two options.
He could either delete his existing skills or give up one from his newly acquired ones.
Before making his choice, he first checked the information on the skills.

(Save)

Active Skill

Level: None

Mana Required: Depends on the skill

Cooldown: 72 hours

Effects: You can store one of your active skills in your weapon.
The skills stored in a weapon can be used immediately regardless of its cooldown.

The first skill was ‘Save’.

‘Isn’t this very useful?’

The skill’s concept was literally storing one of Minhyuk’s active skills in his weapon.
For example, if he used ‘Rampant Sword’ then he would consume his MP and the cooldown time would start.
However, if he activated the ‘Rampant Sword’ that he had stored in his weapon, he would be able to use the skill again without waiting for the cooldown to finish.
In a way, it was similar to the way mages store their magic in their staffs, parchments and wands.
The higher their level, the more magic the mage could store in their artifact, which could sometimes make it seem like they were not restrained by cooldowns.
However, no matter how outstanding the skill ‘Save’ was, its cooldown was still too long.
Which meant that he could only store one skill within three days.

Next, he checked Dark Fire Storm.

(Dark Fire Storm) 

Active Skill

Level: Sixth Tier

Mana Required: 400

Cooldown: 1 hour

Effects: A storm of dark fire will engulf and devour your enemies within a radius of six meters dealing a damage of 600~1,000 per second.

It was an AOE attack skill.
It might not be comparable to Blooming Sword or Lightning Hell, but it was a Sixth Tier magic.
Players that could reach the Sixth Tier were few and far in between.
In addition, it was much more superior to his currently saved skill ‘Earth Quake’.

After looking through the skills, Minhyuk finally decided.
He said, “Delete Earth Quake.”

[Are you sure you want to delete Earth Quake?]

Minhyuk nodded in answer.

[You have deleted the skill Earth Quake.]

[You have acquired the Active Skill: Save.]

[You have acquired the Active Skill: Dark Fire Storm.]

Then, without hesitation, Minhyuk used the skill ‘Save’.

[Please choose the skill you want to store.]

[You have stored ‘Blooming Sword’.]

Minhyuk nodded in satisfaction and thought, ‘Well then, let’s do it again…’

It was time to hunt Bachran Guild again.

Crone was already on the verge of tears.

[Guild Chat: Hayac has left Bachran Guild.]

[Guild Chat: Carcass has left Bachran Guild.]

[Guild Chat: Hekhek has left Bachran Guild.]

[Guild Chat: Downpour has left Bachran Guild.]

[Guild Chat: Robin’sButt has left Bachran Guild.]

[Guild Chat: Damn has left Bachran Guild.]

His guild members were constantly withdrawing from the guild.
The Four Hyenas, the Frying Pan Killer, and even Legend Guild had been hunting and slaughtering them mercilessly.
The massacre only lasted for four days, but the damage that the guild had incurred was extremely severe.
A few days ago, Pharaoh moved to meet with the nobles to find a different way to break through, but he ended up in prison.

‘It doesn’t make sense!’

The nobles suddenly turned their backs against them and Pharaoh was imprisoned.
And it was not only that, there was even an imperial warrant placed against Bachran Guild in the empire.

One of the noblemen told him, ‘Why would you even dare to touch…’.

‘Who the hell was behind the Frying Pan Killer?’

There was even a post on the official bulletin board.

[We will pay 10 million gold for information about the guild members of Bachran Guild.]

This was the reason why no matter what they did, players still tried to ‘find Bachran’.
In the end, the guild members could not endure the hunt anymore.
They started leaving Bachran Guild one after the other.

Even the netizens were still commenting.

[gadad31: But didn’t Legend Guild started this first? Legend’s Ace killed a player for no reason at all, right? Or, is that not the case? Anyway, Bachran Guild is a rude mannered guild so no one’s going to tell Legend off for killing Bachran~]

[cbcvb: I feel like that too.
But, Bachran Guild is not entirely filled with trash…
To be honest, is this a witch hunt or not?]

[baddadd313: Yeah~ No~ It was manipulated by Bachran Guild.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it was obviously rigged so Bachran can make a name for themselves.]

Very few believed in the validity of their reason for attacking.
However, Crone was already on the verge of losing everything.
He was someone that had quit his job, ran a guild with all the money that he got and made a fortune! If everything kept on going like this, he would definitely be ruined.
So in a desperate attempt, he posted on the official bulletin board so they could reach an agreement.

‘Frying Pan Killer, please contact me.’ 

Finally, he got a call from the real Frying Pan Killer.
With his trembling heart, Crone met with him at a luxurious restaurant that sold the most expensive food in Eivelis Empire.

Minhyuk was wearing a helmet while looking at Crone with a frosty expression.
Meanwhile, Crone looked bitter.
He felt as bitter as those sinners in prison.
Even right now, his guild members were either being captured by the Imperial Army, or hunted by the other bounty hunter players.

Then, Minhyuk asked, “Are you paying for the meal?” 

“Ah.
Of course! Eat as much as you like!” 

Right now, Minhyuk was party ‘A’ while Crone was party ‘B’[1].

‘How much do I even need to pay for his food?’

When Minhyuk heard Crone’s words, he drove the wedge deeper to make sure.

“You’re really paying for the meal? You shouldn’t complain later then.” 

Then Crone burst out laughing and said, “It’s alright even if you eat here for seven days and six nights!” 

“…Is that so? Well then…” 

The corner of Minhyuk’s lips lifted up in a smirk.

Party A has the upper hand while Party B has the lower hand. ☜
