32 Frying Pan Killer
Ztube, a worldwide video uploading site . Somin was an active uploader in Ztube . Her main content was centered around Athenae, a topic that was famous and well-known in the world . She was in her mid-20s but she had small bones so she did not look like she was old . She was also able to garner high views with her content about Versal before .
Just as she finished her business in the bathroom, she received a phone call from her friend .
[Somin-ah . Go to the official homepage of Athenae and check out this interesting video . ]
Interesting video?
Watching other people’s videos was also something meaningful for her . She would be able to follow the current trend if she knew the content that the other people made . Obviously, the current trend these days was all about Athenae users . And if the owner of the video was someone that had a handsome or beautiful person then it was like an icing on the cake .
She hurriedly accessed the Athenae Homepage at the urging of her friend .
[Number 1 . Frying Pan Killer . ]
She was quite taken aback with the number 1 on the realtime search keyword list .
“Frying pan killer?”
[You’ll definitely thank me for that . ]
She clicked on the video curiously .
The video showed a man with a frying pan on his back fighting with a mini troll .
‘Wow…… He’s really handsome . How long has it been since my eyes had been cleansed like this?’
She was freely admiring the handsome frying pan user . At the same time, the mini troll sent out an attack magic towards the user .
Then…
[Clang!]
The magic attack that was sent out was reflected back towards the mini troll .
‘Magical reflection……?!’
She was startled .
As far as she knew, magical reflection was an ability inherent to mages . This was exclusive for mages that lack HP and high-leveled mages that were above the 6th class .
But the frying pan is capable of that?
What was more, the mini troll that was hit by the reflected attack couldn’t come back to its senses .
Somin thought that the video had checked all of the three things that a video needed to become a hit .
A fresh content .
A unique character .
And a face that can attract the crowd .
As she continued to watch the video, Somin was shocked to the point that she even let out gas .
Fwoooooosh━
“That’s Suicidal Rovan, right?”
[How was it? Aren’t you thankful?]
“Hey . I’m busy!”
[Kim So……]
Somin ended the call before her friend could scold and nag at her .
Versal’s Rovan . He was called the Mad Devil or the Crazy Hunter . She had posted plenty of videos about him and had personally seen all of his raid videos . He was an extremely famous user . Anyone who played Versal would know who Rovan was .
He even fought the demon, Valental, alone!
At the time when he hunted Valental he was also given another name .
Suicidal Rovan .
He was a genius in combat .
‘He’s a player that has been recognized by the country’s gaming experts . He’s one of the few genius gamers with high physical, combat prowess and sense of humor!’
And he appeared in the virtual reality gaming scene once again . She was quite happy about this fact, but the thing that made her happier was the fact that she was somewhere near the Shrieking Hills too .
She quickly accessed and logged in the game .
Her nickname in Athenae was Joo-ah . She had the hidden class Unusual Genius . And her special ability was ‘Ignoring Restrictions’ . With her special ability, she could override and ignore all the restrictions and conditions needed before entering a dungeon or a field . However, if she used her special ability then she would not be able to attack or acquire any items inside the dungeon . But it was entirely possible to take videos and photos inside the dungeons and fields .
This was the best ability for a Ztuber!
She rushed to find Rovan .
‘Maybe I will even be able to see the suicidal battle again……!’
Of course, it wasn’t a 1:1 battle but a fight against plenty of monsters .
Then…
‘Found him!’
Joo-ah was extremely delighted when she saw the backs of Rovan and the frying pan user . They were facing each other .
‘What’s this? Why does it look like they’re going to fight……?’
The moment she thought that she thought that they would start a fight, Joo-ah knew that it would garner a high number of views .
Her heart fluttered excitedly as she started to stream a live broadcast .
Rovan did not only enjoy hunting, he also quite enjoyed fighting against other users .
And because he was extremely skilled, he even challenged the demons in Versal . They were creatures that no one in the country had ever raided successfully . That was when the codename suicidal was thrown at him .
He really wanted to fight with Minhyuk with everything that he got .
“You want us to fight?”
“Yes . I really want to fight Minhyuk-nim once with everything that I’ve got . This is my request . ”
“……I understand . I won’t hold myself back . ”
“Yep . ”
Rovan grinned at him .
It’s good that he accepted my request willingly .
He decided to use one of the abilities of the legendary class Berserker .
[You have used the Berserker’s Madness . ]
[Your basic stats will temporarily increase by 50% for 10 minutes . ]
[You can use Blood Manipulation . ]

[You can turn blood into weapons and attack any enemy within a 5-m radius . ]
[You can use the restricted 3rd~5th chapter of the Greatsword’s Swordsmanship . ]
[The penalty for Berserker’s Madness has been applied . ]
[Even if you keep on hunting monsters, you won’t be able to increase your EXP for 3 days . ]
[5 points will be permanently removed from your basic stats . ]
Berserker’s Madness was a skill that would temporarily increase all five of his basic stats by 50% . He would also be able to use the Berserker skills and abilities that were still currently sealed . However, the penalty was also enormous . Nevertheless, he still had a reason as to why he used it .
‘If I don’t use this power then I will never have the chance to defeat Minhyuk-nim . ’
Rovan was quite sure of this .
Minhyuk quickly stepped back . He had a few ideas as to why Rovan requested this from him .
When strong people meet there would always be a person who would avoid fights and a person who would want to compete in every way possible . Rovan clearly belonged to the latter .
Minhyuk used all of the buffs that he could use .
Then…
Rovan narrowed the distance between them .
Swoooooosh!
‘He got faster . ’
He noticed that his speed had become vastly different from the speed that he had used before . In just a blink of an eye, Rovan had already approached him and swung his sword at him .
Minhyuk twisted his body and dodged the attack while Rovan chased after him and swung his sword at him sideways . He quickly defended himself from the attack .
Baaaaang!
When the swords met, instead of hearing the sound of grating swords, they heard the sound of something smashing .
Minhyuk almost reeled back with the strength of the force of the attack . He quickly took his stance and launched his attack at Rovan .
[Sword of Fury . ]
[There will be an additional 50% for strong lunges and stabs, if a vital strike is successful then the additional attack power will be 80% . ]
His stabbing sword was quickly parried by Rovan and the skill was cancelled .
Bang!
Minhyuk was a bit surprised . This was the first time that he saw someone cancel a skill in this way .
At that moment, Rovan had already narrowed the distance between them once again as he used the skill that he had prepared earlier .
[Greatsword’s Destruction]
[The power to destroy everything in one strike . ]
[Additional bleeding will be incurred if the hit was successful . Users within a 3-m radius would be affected . ]
Rovan’s sword glowed a bright red as it shook like it was going to explode .
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Minhyuk was swallowed by a heavy force that exploded . This was the result of the destruction skill . The aftermath of the explosion was a scorched and exploded ground along with a dense cloud of dust .
Rovan inhaled sharply as he prepared for the next attack .
[Greatsword’s Disaster . ]
[Powerful flames will engulf all of your enemies at once . ]
Crackle, crackle, burn!

A powerful flame surged out from his sword . The flame was so strong that it exploded the dense cloud of dust away .
Baaaam!
Crackle, crackle, burn!
A huge pillar of flame rose over and sweeped the dust away .
However, Rovan still did not let his guard down .
Then…
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Rovan saw Minhyuk rushing towards him . He swung his sword at him . However, Minhyuk moved so fast that he only left an afterimage behind .
[Step . ]
[Quickly move a distance of 1m for two steps . ]
Rovan hurriedly turned around to block Minhyuk behind him . Minhyuk once again disappeared from behind him leaving only an afterimage behind . The moment Minhyuk disappeared, Rovan quickly sensed danger .
[Rampant Sword . ]
[A flurry of rampant swords with additional 30% attack power will be created for 6 seconds . ]
The number of swords that Minhyuk used to attack had increased by the dozens . Rovan could feel a huge amount of pressure with all the swords surrounding him .
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
He was able to parry the flurry of swords and counter the rampant sword alone . This just showed how great Rovan’s abilities were . However, one of the swords penetrated through his defense and slashed at his sides .
Slaaash!
[You have received a fatal blow . ]
Rovan saw his HP plummet in an instant . A large chunk of his HP was gone with just one slash .
Spurt!
Spurt!
Blood spurted out all over his body . In an instant, his HP had dropped to less than 40% . The falling blood slowly rose and became sharp weapons . Rovan’s eyes glittered sharply .
[Blood Manipulation]
[Any blood within a 5-m radius can be turned into weapons that can be used to attack the enemies . ]
The drops of blood coagulated and quickly turned into the shape of a weapon . It quickly enlarged and attacked and parried Minhyuk’s rampant sword .
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Then, from the clashing weapons in the air, a spear brushed past Minhyuk’s sides .
Spurt!
[You have recovered 2% of your HP . ]
[HP absorption has failed . ]
[You have recovered 1% of your HP . ]
[You have recovered 4% of your HP . ]
[HP absorption has failed . ]

Minhyuk’s blood turned into beads that were sucked and absorbed by Rovan . His wounds started to recover at a rapid pace .
After the duration of the rampant sword ended, Minhyuk took a step back . At the same time, Rovan also took a step back with his sword .
Minhyuk hurriedly took out some food and ate .
Fwooooosh!
His wounds also began to recover at a rapid pace .
Joo-ah blinked blankly at the incredible sight that was happening in front of her .
She wasn’t the only one who couldn’t believe what was happening . Real-time comments had started to pour in and appear on her live broadcast .
[hsfdf44: OMG… That’s Versal’s Rovan over there right, the suicidal . Scary . ]
[VeryAmazing!: Where did that come from? It looks like he’s whistling . ]
[adadl3: I don’t think he’s whistling…… Rovan looks like he’s in a rush . It seems like he’s using all of his strength . ]
They did not know the exact details about the skill but they had no choice but to be surprised . They could see that Rovan would lose the moment his Berserker’s Madness’ duration ended .
The viewers continued to argue with each other .
[gadadl579: Who do you think will win?]
[Kyaakak: Rovan . I think he’s just taking care of him . Yeye . ]
[Yuri: 222222]
[Carman: 3333333]
[gfdfadq7461: How can Rovan have plenty of fanboys and fangirls when he looks like a dog? Rovan’s out of breath . Just look at him . ]
[Hororong: Where did you see it……? Nim, you look like shit……]
[gfdfadq7461: My mom says that I’m the most handsome in the world . Hahahaha . ]
The viewers were arguing intensely when rankers suddenly appeared .
[Chaos: I’m User Chaos, currently at Lv398 . ]
[Carman: Oh . It’s Ghostblade Chaos!]
[Yuri: OMG…… Chaos-nim! I’m your White Chaos! We’re with you Chaos!]
[Chaos: Thank you . Hehe;; To get to the point, a video of the Frying Pan Killer in the Shrieking Hills was posted before . If you think about it then they’re supposed to be in there and that’s a hunting ground that Lv100~120 users usually frequent . ]
[Hororong: yeye . That’s right . ]
[VeryAmazing!: But why are you mentioning this?]
[Chaos: I don’t think you’re aware of this but let me say that again just to emphasize . Right now, they’re at around Lv100~120 . ]
Chaos was surprised about their combat prowess, however he was not aware that Minhyuk and Rovan crazily leveled up before . The level restrictions in the dungeon or field would not work if they leveled up inside . They would not be restricted even if they logged out as long as they did not leave the dungeon . But once they used the return scroll then the restrictions would be imposed on them .
[Koro: Are you saying that they’re only between Lv 100 to Lv 120? That’s crazy……]
It was just a lowkey comment from one of the users but the comment sections had become flooded after this comment .
Joo-ah murmured to herself as she looked at the chaotic comments .
“I thought the two of them were both over level 200…”
Of course she knew that the Shrieking Hills was a Lv100 hunting ground even before she came here . However, when she saw the battle between the two of them, she thought that they were over level 200 so she ignored those restrictions .
But in reality? Their levels were far below that…
Joo-ah, who was filming quietly, mumbled to herself as she continued to watch the two of them narrow the distance between them .
“Damn, so amazing……”
