Chapter 99: The Seven Deadly Sins

Only one person was left after everyone else was forced to log out . It was Hilton, the person who led the people who chased after them . He was still digging around and eating dirt .
“Chomp, chew, gulp!”
He had truly lost control of everything .
‘Waaaaaa . I want to move my body but I can’t control it!’
He was filled with despair as he watched Minhyuk slowly approach him . He was filled with despair as he thought of all the gold and artifacts that would drop from him once he was forced to log out .
‘Please, I wish I hadn’t done this……!’
At that moment…
“I’m hungryyyyyyyyy! Keuheeup! Mi, Minhyuk-nim…… Please tie me up and take me in front of him……!”
Rovan quickly said, barely holding on to his reason . Minhyuk approached him, untied him from the tree before tying him again with the rope . Then he helped him walk in front of Hilton .
Rovan was quite furious with Hilton and the Ares Guild . They tried to PK him and declared war against his guild . For that reason, he wanted to get and save Hilton’s dark history as much as possible . He slowly crawled forward .
“Keeeughk! I’m hu, hungryyyyy……”
Then, he moved near Hilton and whispered in his ear .
“Legend Guild, number one!”
‘Th, this fXcking bastard!’
He knew that Rovan was clearly mocking himself . Just saying that Legend Guild was number one meant that they were above the Ares Guild . Then, he heard Rovan gasp as if he couldn’t contain his hunger anymore .
“Haaaa . Haaa, haaa, haaa…… I’m hungry . I’m going to eat you . ”
‘Th, this crazy bastard . Stop blowing in my ears!’
Hilton’s body trembled once he heard Rovan’s next words .
“Your ears look like dumplings . ”
Chomp!
“Keuaaaack!”
“Eek! That’s not something you should eat, Rovan-nim!”
“Chew, chew . Dumplings are delicious!”
“Hmm……”
As soon as he confirmed that Rovan had gone crazy with hunger, Minhyuk held his frying pan tightly . Then he slammed it on Hilton’s head .
Clang!
Minhyuk looked around after he rescued the poor(?) Hilton from Rovan’s grasp . The gold and artifacts that dropped from the users that he forced to log out were scattered everywhere .
“I’m hungryyyyy! My dumplingggg!”
Rovan rolled around on the ground as he shouted about his hunger . Minhyuk was left with no choice but to tie him back on a tree before collecting all of the dropped gold and artifacts .
[You have acquired 1 . 372 million gold . ]
[You have acquired Akas’ Gloves . ]
[You have acquired 2 . 131 million gold . ]
[You have acquired Ifreet’s Tear Armor . ]
[You have acquired 9 . 451 million gold . ]
[……acquired Baromil’s Sword . ]
Items obtained from PK were not distributed by the automatic party distribution system . The notifications poured in non-stop . Even though they were still low-leveled users, their items were quite expensive and valuable . All of them were equipped with rare artifacts, sometimes he could even see some unique items among the pile . And they even gave him plenty of gold . Eventually, Minhyuk stood in front of Hilton, who died the last .
[You have acquired 9 . 261 million gold . ]
[You have acquired Oz’s Helmet . ]
After he finished collecting all of the dropped gold and items, Minhyuk checked the total amount of gold that he collected . He was able to collect 930 million gold from all of the users that he forced to log out . And once he sold off all of the artifacts he got from here then he would be able to get at least 3 billion gold in total .
‘Wow . I can probably sell these and be able to buy delicious food and medicine!’
Minhyuk chuckled at the thought of buying delicious food .
Then, he went ahead and checked the artifacts that he thought were useful to him . First, he excluded all of the weapons . None of these weapons were comparable to Ellie’s Sword or his frying pan . As he looked around, the helmet that was dropped by Hilton caught his attention .
(Oz’s Helmet)
Class: Unique
Restrictions: 240 STR, 120 AGI
Durability: 4,000 / 4,000
Defensive Power: 311
Special Abilities:
━ STR +3, AGI +5
━ Magical Defense +50
Description: This was the helmet worn by Oz, a warrior who guarded a king’s tomb in the past .
It was a pretty good looking helmet but Hilton was not wearing the helmet! Maybe it was because he failed to meet the ‘restrictions’ set by the helmet .
The helmet had an additional magical defense . In addition, it also has a high defensive power . Its defensive power was comparable to Sylph’s Leather Armor that he was wearing right now . Normally, armors would have the highest defensive capabilities and things like helmet, boots and gloves could only exhibit about half of the defensive capabilities of an armor . However, this Oz’s Helmet had an extremely high defensive power .
Minhyuk quickly wore it .
Oz’s helmet covered most of his face excluding his eyes, nose and mouth . It also had two horns on it . He thought that it would feel uncomfortable once he wore it but he had good visibility and he had no trouble breathing or eating anything .
After he finished acquiring the items, Minhyuk once again untied Rovan from the tree and only tied his hands and upper body .
“Keung, keung, keung, keung . I saw you hide all of the food from here earlier!”
Rovan approached Minhyuk and sniffed him all over . Minhyuk quickly slapped the back of his head as a sort of reproach .
Slap!

“No . Why are you burying your nose under someone’s armpits and smelling them?!”
“Keoheok! Something smells delicious……”
“My armpits?”
Minhyuk looked at Rovan strangely . He was wondering if he liked dishes that were cooked with vinegar .
Minhyuk pulled Rovan, who was screaming about his hunger, as they continued to move forward .
After walking for quite some time…
[You have overcome one of the trials of the Seven Deadly Sins . ]
[You have gained 30 reputation points . ]
[You have gained 500 million EXP . ]
[You have entered the Hidden Field . ]
[You have leveled up . ]
[You have leveled up . ]
[You have leveled up . ]
[You have leveled up . ]
[……leveled up . ]
Minhyuk heard a string of notifications . His level increased by 13 .
‘Ellie’s Knife will probably be unsealed now, right?’
He needed to level up twice before he could unseal the Secondary Level that was sealed in Ellie’s Kitchen Knife .
It seemed like Rovan also gained some reputation points and leveled up a lot but most importantly he had finally regained his senses .
“My nose is filled with the scent of vinegar…”
“……”
Minhyuk was left speechless as he untied Rovan .
The now freed Rovan looked around curiously .
“Why didn’t I get the notification about the x2 drop rate and EXP acquisition rate when we entered the Hidden Field?”
“Ah . You’re right . ”
After overcoming the Trial of Sin, they immediately entered the Hidden Field but there were no notifications about the x2 special privilege .
“What are the conditions for clearing the Hidden Quest?”
“Overcoming the curse and hunting all of the monsters in the field . ”
Minhyuk shook his head .
This meant that the monsters they would encounter soon would be stronger and better than the monsters from earlier . Rovan and Minhyuk held their breaths before walking further in the hidden field .
Tap!

Thud!
Both of them could hear the sound of something walking heavily .
“It’s a toad!”
Rovan looked closely at the monster that jumped high in the sky . The leaping monster was a giant toad . Before it fell to the ground, it spewed a bluish-green liquid out of its mouth .
“Puhaaaaa!”
Minhyuk and Rovan instinctively dodged away . The liquid directly splashed on the ground and the stone where the both of them were just standing at .
The stone is melting!
The two of them looked at each other and quickly rushed to launch an attack at the giant poisonous toad .
[Step . ]
[Quickly move to a distance of 1m . ]
The toad landed on the ground . Before it could even open its mouth again and spew out poison, Minhyuk narrowed the distance between them and stabbed it with his sword .
[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% . ]
Stab!
Baaaaang!
The stabbed toad rolled backwards . Without missing a beat, Rovan approached quickly and hacked at it with his sword .
Slash!
A notification popped out in front of Minhyuk .
[You have leveled up . ]
“……?!”
Minhyuk had a strange look on his face when he saw the notification . Rovan turned his head at him when he saw Minhyuk stopped moving .
“What’s wrong?”
“I just leveled up . ”
“Oh . Again? Was your EXP about to level up?”
“No . I had about 78% in my EXP bar before I leveled up……”
“……?”
Rovan turned to look at his EXP with an expression of disbelief . A moment ago, his EXP was at 66% at Lv125 but right now his EXP is at 95% .
“W, what the hell……!”
We hunted one but my EXP rose to 95% in an instant?
He went ahead and picked up the items that the poisonous toad had dropped .
[Party: Rovan-nim has acquired 123,000 gold . ]

For gold drops, it would be automatically divided between Rovan and Minhyuk . In other words, one poisonous toad dropped 246,000 gold . They estimated that the poisonous toad was around Lv120 . Generally, monsters at this level would only drop 2,000 gold or so . But the drop right now was almost ten times that of the normal drop . This meant that the EXP and drop rate were extremely enormous!
“……Do you think we can bomb our way and level up like crazy?”
Rovan trembled in excitement .
They might not know about the exact increase in their EXP and drop rate but what they were sure of was that it was a much enormous reward compared to the regular hidden dungeons .
“Ah . Come to think of it, I think we’re the first ones to have ever overcome the Trial of Sins . There’s no information available about it at all . ”
Minhyuk nodded his head in agreement .
“Ah . Earlier, you said that you were going to fight against those bastards…”
Rovan’s forehead creased in worry as he looked at his greatsword . The durability of his sword was almost gone . If the durability of his sword fell below 20% then the attack power and special abilities of his greatsword would be reduced as well .
“I’ll fix it for you . ”
“……D, don’t tell me that you also learned blacksmithing?”
“Yep . ”
“When did you learn it?”
“Less than a week ago . ”
Rovan shook his head at him when he heard his words .
“It’s fine . My greatsword is an epic artifact . I can’t leave it to a beginner blacksmith . ”
“I’m an intermediate blacksmith . ”
Rovan looked straight at Minhyuk . He was not surprised anymore .
He wordlessly handed his greatsword, Valo’s Bloodstained Greatsword .
Minhyuk took out the anvil that he bought from Ron before he left the smithy . He invested the five skill points that he got from the Legendary Chocolate Paradise to his bandaging and blacksmithing skills . He allocated three on his bandaging skill and the remaining two to his blacksmithing skill . Currently, his bandaging skill was at intermediate Lv6 while his blacksmithing skill passed the threshold and became intermediate Lv2 .
“Repair!”
And just like what Minhyuk expected, he saw the places where he needed to hammer on . Minhyuk began to tap on the sword with his hammer .
Clang, clang!
‘He said that he had learned it less than a week ago but his posture looks so good?’
There were plenty of intermediate level blacksmiths . In fact, blacksmith was the most famous job class among all of the non-combat job classes . Just for that reason, he thought that he could use Minhyuk’s help as an intermediate level blacksmith to raise the durability of his sword for a bit . He thought that it was enough for him to be able to endure through this and get out of here safely before finding a better blacksmith to repair his greatsword .
Not long after, Minhyuk finished repairing his greatsword .
[You have achieved the best repair for Valo’s Bloodstained Greatsword . ]
[The durability has sharply increased . ]
[It won’t rust easily . ]
[The attack power has increased . ]
[You have gained 1 DEX . ]
