章 66: Are You Messing With Me?

.....

While Shin is busy cracking the rune formation circle, Hanzo is currently sealing off some of his powers. Moments later...

BANG!

The wall exploded almost instantly after Shin cracked the rune formation circle on it. And immediately after that, Hanzo's eyes turned bloodshot, while he is also starting to lose control on his emotions.

HAA!!!

Bang! Bang!

Clang! Clang!

Hanzo shout out loud while pulling his arms forward. Both silver chains that were restricting Hanzo's arms were broken and ripped off from the wall, freeing him from being hanged on it.

Huu~

After landing on the ground, Hanzo exhaled a bunch of white stream while looking at Shin with a fierce gaze. But when a slight thought of harming Shin flash on Hanzo's mind, and bunch of golden chains appeared out of nowhere, restricting Hanzo once again.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Whoosh!

Then, a shining golden light descend from the heaven and pierce through the roof, and enfold Hanzo's body with its sacred aura. Moments later, Hanzo transformed into a small purple light that is blinking on and off, similar to the light that was being produce by a little firefly. But this light is much stronger than the later.

At the same time, a series of System Notification ring and appear at Shin's ears and notification window.

*DING!*

System: Void Spirit 'Hanzo' didn't comply with the contract, and going to be restrict by the System.

System: Base on the contract agreement, Hanzo will become Player Sickarius' first Elemental Companion.

System: Hanzo is much stronger than you to become your Elemental Companion.

System: Hanzo had sealed off some of his true strength to match yours.

*DING!*

System: Congratulations! You had successfully turned Hanzo into your first Reaper's Retainer!

System: Congratulations! You've gotten your first Reaper's Retainer! You now have an access to Elemental Companion Window.

*DING!*

System: Your Tier is too low to have an Elemental Companion. Hanzo's abilities will be sealed temporarily until you reach Tier 2.

"That was quite a lot of notifications. But that was not bad I guess." Shin took a quick glance at the System Notifications, before turning his attention at the blinking purple light that is revolving around him. "Hey Old Man, it looks like you are enjoying yourself on the freedom that you regained, Huh?"

Hanzo replied at Shin a cheerful manner. "Heh, of course! You don't have any idea how long I have been imprisoned in this place!"

"You have enough time for that later. For now, tell me what should I do next to get that stup*d Chalice. I had already destroyed all the rune formation circle on the walls, but I can still feel the barrier around that stone platform." said Shin impatiently.

Hanzo on the other hand just replied at him nonchalantly. "Tsk, you are not listening at my instructions earlier, aren't you? I had told you that the barrier around that Chalice will weaken enormously once you cracked the formations. All you need to do now is to attack that barrier continuously until it break!"

"Ohh... That's all? Then, that's quite easy then, I guess. Alright! Let's finish this quest already!" said Shin on an eager tone.

But before Shin manage to do anything, Hanzo immediately destroy the mood. "Lad. Let me finish first. You keep interrupting me on the crucial parts of what I'm about to say."

Cough! Cough!

"Hey Old Man. Don't tell you had another bad news? Tsk! Tsk! Why all the good things that are coming from your mouth are always followed by bad ones almost instantly?" said Shin irritatedly.

Hanzo ignored Shin's side remark and said. "After you destroyed that barrier, the real Warden of this place will appear and is going to kill you, before taking that Chalice away from this place."

'Hmm... Now all the pieces are started to take place.' Shin fall on a deep thought, thinking about something.

When Hanzo saw that, he can't help but asked. "Are you not curious about this place and why am I being imprisoned here?"

Shin raise his and smirks at the void spirit. "Heh, that shouldn't be needed, Old Man. I can already picture it out. I already have some suspicious on this quest since I had accepted it before."

"First, why would a place like this suddenly received an attack from a Monster Horde, and the monsters of that horde are all corrupted beings!"

"Second is why would a Royal Chalice is in a secluded place like this."

"Next, why would the King dispatched his Royal Army here. Can't he just release an order to all the adventurers under his city to wipe these monsters out?"

"Then, why are there some corrupted creatures guarding this secret chamber?"

Hanzo interrupted Shin and said. "Lad. Those are just some questions of your own. Where are your conclusion?....."

Shin immediately give Hanzo a payback for earlier. "Tsk, don't interrupt me when I'm about to say the crucial part, Old Man."

The corner of Hanzo's mouth twitch after he heard that. But Shin ignored Hanzo's reaction and continue on what he are saying. "What I'm saying is, this place is can only be attacked by a group of corrupted creatures if there is something can attracted them here."

"As for what item was that is quite obvious already. Am I right Old Man? But why would a Royal Chalice attract those creatures? The answer is this item was corrupted by someone or something."

Hanzo raise a question at this point. "Then who do you think is it?"

Shin smiled mysteriously and said. "Who else if it is not the King? Or should I say the impostor that is pretending as King Cassius? He is the only once that have some access on the Royal Chalice."

Hanzo nodded his head with satisfied expression and said. "Looks like you really are not an idi*t after all, young lad."

Shin ignored that remark and said. "As for what he want to achieve in this place, let us say that he want to make this place as the nest for corrupted monsters secretly. Unfortunately, someone discovered it and ruined his plans."

"So all he can do now is to abandon his original plans and raze this place to the ground using a so called 'Monster Horde', so that he can silenced all the witnesses."

"And since he used a big move this time, some Churches will discovered about it, so he spent the 20-days that he gave to sealed off the news as long as he can. While I'm working my *ss here to prevent these monsters from going anywhere."

"And once he is done with his side, he is going clean up this mess using the Royal Army on his arsenal. While I'm going to become the sacrifice for the so called 'Warden' of this place."

"As for you being here. Hmmm.... Whoever that fake King is, he should be wanting to turn you as his Elemental Companion. Unfortunately, failed to do that. And since you are just going to be sent on your rebirth if he killed you, he decided to just imprison you here to suffer for the the rest of your life."

"At the same time, he robbed some of your powers to isolate this place from outside, so that no one can enter this place without his special Key. What do you think about my deduction, Old Man?"

Hanzo keep nodding his head as Shin explaining what he have discovered so far. After some moment of silence, he finally open his mouth. "Looks like it is the right choice that I took you as my Master. And all of what you had said are true and correct."

And once Hanzo confirm Shin's assumptions, a system notification ring Shin's ears, together with an appearance of new quest on his quest information window.

*DING!*

--------------------------------------------------

Shin's mind suddenly run wild when he confirm his assumptions. 'Hmm... This game really is a mess. It keeps overthrowing all the things that I had studied regarding VR games so far. Didn't the developers imitating the Real World too much!? No wonder that the war against Corrupted Beings never end even in this 'New World Era', even the NPCs are keep tricking the players to do some dark jobs, Tsk. Looks like I really need to be extra careful on all the quest that I'm going to receive. Hmm.. Maybe not completely trusting anyone is even better?'

Then, Shin's gaze turned to the blinking purple light that is revolving around him and said to himself. 'And I really didn't expect that I will received a quest through this Guy. Hmm... Maybe special existence like him can really give some quest. I discovered new things once again. I should keep an eye on this special existence in the future.'

After that, he turned his attention on the platform where the Royal Chalice is located. 'OK, for now, let us deal with what is in front of me. I can still finish my current Main Quest without affecting this new quest, Right?'

Shin then sprinted towards the platform, before pulling out the [Yamato] from its sheath. At the same time, he swing it to his right, sending a chilling crescent shape Sword Qi at the invisible barrier.

Shing!

'Class Fighting Style: Lunar Flash'

Bang!

After that, Shin followed it up with a series of attacks.

'Slayer Skill: Half-Moon Slash'

'Slayer Skill: Crescent Cleave'

'Extra Skill: Flame Burst'

BANG!!!

The invisible barrier immediately exploded after receiving that barrage of skills from Shin. And he Royal Chalice is now fully expose to Shin, but before he get near it, the ceiling above him suddenly collapse, forcing him to dodge and retreat backwards.

BOOOM!!!

Dug! Dug! Durug! Dug!

Shin can see a large silhouette inside the flying dust in front of him. And when the dust settled down, he finally get a clear look on what kind of monster is it.

It is a creature with a body and arms of a human, but have a head and legs of an Ox. Its hands are holding a massive double-edge Axe.

'A Minotaur!' Shin's eyes turned saucers for a second before using his 'Scouting' skill.

-------------------------------------------------

Monster Name: Corrupted Minotaur (Overlord)

Rating: Demonic Being

Level: 90

HP: 40 000 000

-------------------------------------------------

After the brief moment of being shocked, Shin suddenly formed a grin with his lips and looked the Minotaur greedily. "My Oh My! Looks like I'm going to have another bountiful harvest this time."

But before he manage the make a move, another system notification ring and appear on his Notification Window, making Shin to be frozen in place and curse out loud.

"WHAT THE F*CKING JOKE IS THIS!!!??? ARE YOU REALLY F*CKING MESSING OUT WITH ME!!!??? OF ALL THE F*CKING TIMES THAT I HAD!!! YOU CHOOSE IT NOW!!!"

章 67: Battle Against The Minotaur

...

*DING!*

System: You had been discovered for using a Cheat Skill without notifying the System.

System: You will now receive a punishment from the System.

System: You will enter a Weaken State for the next one Natural Weak(InGame Time). All your EXP gain and drop rate will be reduced significantly.

System: You are now entering a Weaken State, all of your stats will reduce to half.

System: Your 'Savage Bite' equipment skill will now be fixed by the System.

------------------------------

Savage Bite: Sacrifice 50% of your current HP to deal a damage equivalent to 10% of your target's total HP.

Cooldown: 2 minutes

Note: This Skill can only be used if your current HP is over 20% of your total HP.

-------------------------------

"Talking about the timing." Shin become speechless at series of system notifications that appeared on his notification window.

He also felt a large amount of strength leaving his body. "Tsk! looks like I don't have any other choice, but to face this Monster head-on."

He then activated the berserk skill of the [Yamato], returning his stats back to their original state.

-----------------------------

Nephilim's Ascent (Active): Enter a berserk state, increasing all of your stats by 100% and movement speed by 200%.

Duration: 30 mins.

Cooldown: 5 hours

-----------------------------

After that, he immediately summoned his clones using 'Spirit Release' of [Nephilim's Mask]. At the same time, he also called out Whitie and Blackie from his pets' space.

"Alright, boys! We some work to do. We need to take down this big guy before my thirty-minute mark ends." Shin then gived an order to them.

Then the Shin and the Moon clone circle around the left and right side of the Minotaur respectively. The Sun clone, on the other hand, sprinted forward while releasing its fiery aura.

Blackie entered stealth using its 'Shadow Melding', while Whitie followed closely behind the Sun clone with a safe distance.

When the Minotaur saw all of that, it twisted its waist in a clockwise direction while pulling its huge Axe in the same direction, and planning to swing it leftwards.

But before the Minotaur manage to swing it, Shin and the Moon Clone already made their moves. Both of them pulled their swords out from their sheaths and swing them rightwards, sending a chilling crescent shape sword Qi each.

Shing!

Shing!

'Class Fighting Style: Lunar Flash'

Bang!

-438 480(Slowed)

Bang!

-440 020(Slowed)

MOO!!!

The Minotaur release a deafening roar when it was hit by that sword Qi's. It tried to swing its Axe more powerfully. But unfortunately for it, its movements were slowed down by the previous attacks, giving the Sun Clone to immediately use a sword drawing skill of its own, but it is a fiery sword Qi this time.

Shing!

'Class Fighting Style: Solar Flare'

Bang!

-493 920

-1 223(Burning Damage)

Boom!

-100 201(Bonus Damage)

MOO!!!

Because of the opposing temperatures of the skills, the Minotaur received another damage. And it failed to complete its attack and kneels on the ground with one knee.

The Sun Clone immediately swings its sword once again and sending another sword Qi with fiery fire energy.

'Extra Skill: Flame Burst'

Swoosh!

Bang!

-73 431

-3 672(Burning Damage)

Immediately after that, Shin and the Moon Clone simultaneously throw multiple slashes in the air, and each of them sent five vertical sword Qis towards the Minotaur's direction.

Swoosh! Whoosh! Swoosh!

'Slayer Skill: Crescent Cleave'

-87 104(Slowed)

-87 200(Slowed)

-86 900(Slowed)

...

...

...

Six of the ten sword waves landed on the Minotaur's body. And because of another sudden change of temperature, Shin achieved another special effect. Frosts started to form on the furs of the Minotaur's body, making its moments to be frozen in place.

Shin immediately grab that opportunity to deal more damage. He immediately controlled his body the Moon Clone's body to sheath back their swords. Then they dash forward while transforming their bodies into a bluish-white light, and swing their swords at the Minotaur as they pass through its massive body.

'Class Fighting Style: Moonlight Splitter'

Swoosh! Shing!

-656 600

Swoosh! Shing!

-655 900

At the same time, the Sun Clone jumped in the air and descend towards the Minotaur, while swinging its sword at the latter's head.

Whoosh!

'Extra Skill: Falling Lightblade'

-73 431

The Minotaur's body is too large so the Sun Clone couldn't knock it on the ground. But when the Sun Clone's feet landed on the ground, it immediately spun its body around while swinging its burning sword at the Minotaur's belly.

'Slayer Skill: Solar Cut'

-74 432

And because of the repeated damages that the Minotaur had taken, it went berserk and shattered the ice covering its body.

Bang!

At the same time, it released a powerful roar, sending an unstoppable shockwave in all directions.

MOO!!!

Swoosh!

Shin and his Clones failed to dodge that shockwave, causing the three of them to be hit by it, and sending them flying backwards.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Shin and his Clones received damage that is equivalent to the third of their total HP. And since Shin is the one the had dealt with the highest damage, the Minotaur's aggro was directed to him.

The Minotaur released a white smoke from its nose while looking at Shin with a fierce glare. Then it sprinted forward in Shin's direction while planning to strike Shin with the pair of horns on its head.

ROAR!

ROAR!

This time, Whitie and Blackie jumped in for their master's rescue. Whitie jumped on the Minotaur's left side, while Blackie appeared on its other side.

Bang! Bang!

The two tigers were sent flying backward when they collided with the Minotaur's massive body. And even though the two tigers failed to completely stop the Minotaur's charge, they still manage to slow it down. And that gave Shin enough time to dodge.

Shin leaped backward before doing consecutive back-flips to create some distance away from the incoming Minotaur. And once Shin's back is almost at the partially collapsed wall, the Minotaur is almost upon him.

But Shin is fast enough to turn his body into a bluish-white light and pass through the Minotaur's body.

'Slayer Skill: Moonlight Steps'

BOOM!

That wall completely collapsed when the Minotaur collided with it, causing the ceiling being supported by it to collapse too.

Burrggg!!!

But since the Minotaur had a massive body, the boulders that fall from the wall and ceiling failed to bury the Minotaur under it.

MOO!!!

Bang!

The Minotaur release another powerful shockwave, sending all the rock boulders in all direction. Shin and his gang are busy jumping left and right to dodge all of that incoming boulders.

Then the Minotaur took advantage of that chaos to rush towards Shin. It sprinted towards the latter planning to use its head to strike the swordsman with its head once again.

Huu~

Shin took a deep breath while focusing the power of the eclipse towards the [Yamato]. Then he slashed it forward, sending a purple sword wave in a straight line.

'Slayer Skill: Eclipse Slash'

Bang! Bang! Bang!

-92 506

All the boulders that passed through by that sword wave were either sliced into two or exploded into pieces. At the same time, the Minotaur had taken another damage by that attack and forcing it to stop its charge.

At this point, an idea entered Shin's mind. He took another deep breath to focus his mind while relaxing his body. Moments later, the sheath of his and the clone's swords were transformed into a white semitransparent longsword.

'Legacy Skill: Mondi's Style: Meteor Form'

Then Shin and his clones use their swords to deflect those incoming rock boulders that they can deflect. Sometimes, Shin picked some of the boulders with the right size and redirected them towards the Minotaur's direction. If those boulders were too large for Shin and his clones to deflect, they have no choice but to dodge.

'Quasi-Epic Combat Technique: Parrying Stance'

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Shin and his gang battled the Minotaur for fifteen minutes already. And Shin's berserk skill already reached its halfway mark, so he needed to speed things up now. He activated the domain skill of the bonus effect of his {Ruler's Equipment Set}.

-------------------------

Ruler's Authority(Active): Create a domain that will extend up to a 20-meter radius from you. All of your enemies inside will receive a -40% Debuffs on all of their stats.

Duration: 15 Minutes

Cooldown: 3 Hours

----------------------------

Swoosh!

A powerful aura swept in the area around Shin, and he felt that the Minotaur received a massive decrease in its power.

Shin controlled his clones to circle around the Minotaur, while he himself charged forward. Then he channels the power of eclipse on both sides of his swords, before swinging them diagonally in an opposite direction, sending a purple cross-shaped sword Qi.

'Self-Created Skill: Eclipse Cross'

BANG!!!

-185 012

At the same time, the Sun Clone and the Moon Clone combined their powers, before swinging their swords diagonally, sending a crescent-shaped sword Qi. Then that sword Qis intervene with each other until it transformed into a rotating purple cross.

'Clone Combination Skill: Eclipse Cross'

BANG!!!

-184 990

MOOO!!!!!

Then Shin sprinted forward at the roaring Minotaur. And when the latter saw that, its eyes suddenly turned fierce before twisting its massive body together with its huge Axe.

Moo!!!

Then the Minotaur swung its Axe horizontally and coming in Shin's direction.

Shin, on the other hand, jumped in the air trying to dodge that huge Axe. But mysteriously, that Axe suddenly changed its course and followed Shin in the air.

The Minotaur formed a smirking smile with its mouth as if it is mocking Shin. Unfortunately, Shin is not your average John Doe either. He kicked the air behind him, sending him slightly higher in the air. Then he did a spin roll in there barely dodging the huge Axe.

Pa!

'Legacy Skill: Mondi's Jump'

MISS

After that, he adjusted his center of gravity to force his body to fall on the ground, while swinging the [Yamato] at the head of the Minotaur.

'Extra Skill: Falling Lightblade'

Swoosh!

-73 431

-3 672(Burned Damage)

And when his feet landed on the ground, he immediately swung the flaming [Snowstorm Edge] horizontally at the belly of the Minotaur.

'Slayer Skill: Solar Cut'

-74 721

-3 736(Burned Damage)

He then thrust the [Yamato] forward piercing through the Minotaur belly. Shin pulled that sword out almost instantly, before throwing a barrage of stabs with both of his swords.

'Extra Skill: Heart Seeker'

-74 555

-3 728(Burned Damage)

'Extra Skill: Multiple Stabs'

-12 239

-612(Burned Damage)

-12 239

-612(Burned Damage)

-12 239

-612(Burned Damage)

...

...

...

The Sun and Moon Clones are not idle either. They are coordinating with Shin to interrupt the Minotaur's movements using the skills of their own. Whitie and Blackie are pouncing at Minotaur too, and even though their attacks are almost negligible for the Minotaur, they still managed to distract it from time to time.

Moooo!!!

The Minotaur entered an enraged state once again. It raised one of its legs before stomping it on the ground in a powerful manner, sending a powerful shockwave once again.

But it looks like Shin already predicted that. He ordered the two tigers to retreat temporarily, while he and his clones formed a purple barrier around them.

BOOM!!!

'Slayer Skill: Eclipse Pulse'

'Clone Combination Skill: Eclipse Pulse'

Humm.

The barriers trembled uncontrollably, but that was all on it, it didn't get shattered yet. When the Minotaur saw that, it become even more enraged, making it raise its huge Axe in the air.

But before the Minotaur swung its Axe downward, the Sun and Moon Clones immediately detonated their barrier, sending a circular sword wave that extends up to a five-meter range away from them.

'Clone Combination Skill: Eclipse Counter'

BOOM!!!

BANG!!!

-300 567

MOO!!!

The Minotaur almost stumble forward when it was hit by that attack, but it still managed to hold its ground. But when it thinks that it can finally swing its Axe downward, Shin also detonated the purple barrier around him and sending a circular sword wave of his own.

'Slayer Skill: Eclipse Counter'

BANG!!!

BOOM!!!

-300 872

This time, the Minotaur took a few steps backward trying to regain its balance. The impact of that Skill was too strong and the Minotaur took it head-on. Then another round of battle broke out.

When Shin's berserk skill only had one minute left, the Minotaur's health is already at 15% of its total health(That was 6,000,000HP). But at the same time, Shin's pets and the Sun Clone are already out on the battle.

Shin and the Moon Clone stand fifteen meters away from the Minotaur while looking at it cautiously with their sheathed swords. "OK, it is time to put an end to this." Then Shin dashes forward together with the Moon Clone, while the Minotaur is charging at them too.

Suddenly, Shin and the Moon Clone transformed into a stick of bluish-white light that flies towards the incoming Monster. And as they pass through the latter's body, they pulled out their swords from their sheaths before slashing it forward.

'Class Fighting Style: Moonlight Splitter'

Shing!

-658 660

Shing!

-658 590

Then Shin swiftly sheathed back the [Yamato] in a flawless manner as he disappeared on his current location, and reappearing behind the massive body of the Minotaur.

'Equipment Skill: Wolf King's Hunt'

Shin unsheathe the [Yamato] once again and slash it at the exposed back of the Minotaur. And this skill is the strongest single target skill that Shin currently had.

'Class Fighting Style: Quick Draw'

Shing!

-987 800

MOO!!!

The Minotaur immediately spun its massive body around when it was hit by that attack. But what greeted it in return is a sword that giving it an immense threat, and together with it is a cold voice saying. "Goodbye Big guy, I enjoy improving myself with you."

'Equipment Skill: Savage Bite'

-4 000 000(Killed)

MOOO!!!!!
