ct either the opponent’s strongest skill or the chosen skill of the opponent for five minutes.
However, it was not because the skill was too strong that he was reluctant to use it right away.
Minhyuk wanted to analyze Barach’s skills and ability further before choosing what to do.
And so, he had taken the time to analyze all of the skills that the outraged Barach used to hit his barrier.

Whenever his lava erupted, the rankers' artifacts would be corroded and their movements would turn dull.

‘But now, all the other rankers are useless.’

They were the best of the best, but they just lacked the strength to deal with Barach.
So, Minhyuk had to do his best.
He finally made a decision after thinking about which skill of Barach’s he would restrict.

‘I should prevent him from using that recovery skill that he had just used.’

Minhyuk could not afford to let him recover again.
His buffed dish effect would only last for five minutes.
It could be said that he was betting his all on this.
Whether he win or lose, it was all in.

[Skill Destruction]

[Sealing one of the target’s designated skills.]

[Demon God’s Blessing will be sealed for five minutes.]

Barach seemed to feel the restriction from Minhyuk’s Skill Destruction.
Lava burst from his body, as if an active volcano had erupted.

[Knight’s Berserker.]

[Barach’s offense and defense will become 30% stronger.]

[After the Berserk period, all of Barach’s stats will fall by 30%.]

Barach had realized that Minhyuk was unusual.
Minhyuk immediately turned the Devil Judge’s Sword into Diablo’s Scythe, before jumping up and swinging the weapon down.

Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak―

Blood flowed down all over Barach’s body as a line was drawn across his tough and thick skin.
Just like Barach had turned stronger, Minhyuk had also become stronger.
However, he only had three minutes left now.

‘Well, he can be my experimental subject for Berserk.’

Berserk was a special skill attached to the Devil Judge’s Sword, and his experimental time was only a few tens of seconds.

Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwak!

Barach’s whip became faster and stronger as he began to pressure Minhyuk.
Even his movement speed increased to the point that he could easily hit Minhyuk’s body.

“Urgh!”

However, it was still too early.
Minhyuk would only use that skill once he had approached it closely.

Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa―

Barach swung his whip and wrapped it around Minhyuk’s body.

Shwaaaaaaaa―

Crack, crack, crack!

The whip tightened around Minhyuk’s body immediately and caused his HP to drop sharply.

Crackleeee!

The powerful flame traveled along the whip and stretched towards Minhyuk.

Hwaaaaaaaaa―

Minhyuk had a tremendously high magical defense compared to the regular rankers.
Despite his high magical defense and the increase in stats through the buff, his HP still fell by 20%.
And it did not end there.
Barach quickly pulled the whip strongly, tugging Minhyuk towards him.

[Aaaaaaah!!! It ends like this!]

[But Player Minhyuk fought very well!!! The thing that he did just now, I believe he will be able to get the upper hand in front of the other world rankers.]

The commentators had predicted the end.

Just as Minhyuk had reached Barach… A black flame blazed all over Barach’s body.

[Fire Devil’s Explosion]

[A 700% increase in attack power will be manifested as soon as a direct hit lands on the opponent.]

Keuhaaaaaaaack!

The huge ball of fire that came from Barach’s body flew towards Minhyuk.
It was an extremely powerful attack that boasted an additional 700% attack.
It was clear that this was Barach’s strongest one-shot kill skill.
Everyone had predicted that Minhyuk would die.
But…

Crack!

…the whip wrapped around Minhyuk’s body broke down, as a black fog appeared and wrapped around Minhyuk’s body before being absorbed inside.

Then, the notifications rang in Minhyuk’s ears.

[Berserk.]

[This is the first time that you have used the Berserk skill.]

[For your first awakening, all of your skills and stats would become much higher than the normal Berserk skill.]

[All abilities will be increased by 19% and all stats would have a +2 increase.]

[Your HP will decrease by 3% per second.
By the end of the skill, your HP will fall below 10% while your defense will fall below 20%.]

Minhyuk’s skill level had increased tremendously due to his buffed dish.
The same was true for his stats.
And now, his Berserk skill has dramatically increased Minhyuk’s skills once again.
Then, another notification came.

[Ellie’s Swordsmanship’s cooldown temporarily decreases by 70%.]

To his surprise, there was another set of notifications…

[Ellie’s Swordsmanship has temporarily reached the Pinnacle.]

[You can temporarily use the evolved Ellie’s Swordsmanship technique.]

[Chapter 8.
Berserk Sword]

‘Pinnacle…?’

This was Minhyuk’s first time hearing about such a level.
However, he did not have much time to ponder over it.
The Fire Devil’s Explosion was rushing towards him.
It was a skill that has given Barach an additional 700% attack power, on top of his basic damage.

Minhyuk immediately activated the technique, “Berserk Sword.”

The eighth chapter of the skill, the Berserk Sword, was temporarily activated, resulting in a shocking event.

As soon as Minhyuk wielded his sword, hundreds of four-meter-long black sword lights appeared in the air.
It looked like a flock of hundreds of black migratory birds flapping their wings and shooting up into the sky!

[An additional 700% attack power is added to your sword.]

[If the sword succeeds in attacking a vital point, it will gain an additional 1,300% attack power.]

Minhyuk immediately realized that this was a combination of his Splitting Sword and Sword of Fury.

‘A strike will have an additional 700% attack power and an additional 1,300% attack power if I succeed in hitting a vital point…? And with each and every single one of those hundreds of swords…?’

Minhyuk was shocked at how powerful this sword technique was.
Then, the hundreds of swords collided against Barach’s Fire Devil’s Explosion, a magnificent fire that seemed to be able to burn everything down to the ground.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The hundreds of black swords broke through the Fire Devil’s Explosion and turned it into nothing.
Then…

Shwaaaaaaaaaak―

…the hundreds of swords continued forward to stab into Barach’s body.

[You have successfully dealt a critical strike.]

[Additional 1,300% attack power.]

[You have successfully dealt a critical strike.]

[Additional 1,300% attack power.]

[You have successfully dealt a critical strike.]

[Additional 1,300% attack power.]

[You have successfully dealt… omitted.]

Notifications constantly rang in Minhyuk’s head.
Barach was torn to shreds until his figure could not be distinguished anymore.
The sword lights even continued to fly forward, destroying all of the remaining buildings and towers.
They finally became spent after reaching the magnificent elf mountain.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Although the mountain did not disappear, its shape was still completely altered forever.

Crumble―!

“…!”

[…!]

The skill finally disappeared and everything in its wake had turned still and silent.

Then, notifications were heard through the silence.

[You have successfully hunted the Demon God’s Knight Barach.]

[You have acquired the Demon God’s Knight’s Training Room Stone.]

[You have acquired the Demon God’s Special Parchment.]

[You have gained 3,135 platinum.]

[You have acquired 61,315,479 EXP.]
