Chapter 799

Rex and Henry had been waiting for this day, where they would get their revenge on Minhyuk for dragging them through the mud. If his beloved father, Black Dragon, were forced to log out, and his precious pets, Beanie and Luna, were to die, then Minhyuk’s heart would definitely be broken.

Thinking about their beautiful revenge, Henry and Rex, together with 6,000 people, appeared in front of the three. Of the 6,000, there were some that originally followed them, while the rest were those that they employed.

Poooooooot~

However, everyone was left speechless when they heard the loud sound that came from Beanie’s butt. It sounded as if a huge balloon that suddenly got deflated.

‘What’s with that fart? Why does it sound like that?’

‘Shouldn’t it sound like fwiiiiiiish not poooooooot?’

‘And why is his nose bleeding like that? We haven’t even attacked them yet.’

Beanie accidentally pushed his paw straight up his nose when they suddenly appeared in front of them.

Blank—

Beanie, who had been staring blankly in front of him, shook his body not long after.

“Oiiink… (Heee….)”

Then, he showed an expression of extreme relief. Perhaps it was because his stomach was now in a very comfortable state.

“This, this pig! How dare you ignore us!”

“Oink?”

Henry and the rest of the people behind him felt like they had been completely ignored by the pig in front of them. However, if one looked at it from Beanie's point of view, the only reason why he farted was because he was surprised. As a result? Well, his bulging belly ended up feeling comfortable.

“Kill that baby piggy!!!”

“Kihyeeee, kihyeeeeee, kihyeeeeee!” The Hatchling Luna burst in tears when she felt the frightening and threatening aura around her. Beanie calmly patted Luna’s back. Meanwhile, Black Dragon had already noticed that they were in a very dangerous situation.

‘I can see a few famous rankers here and there.’

Black Dragon had changed classes to the Royal Class: Dragon Monarch. On top of that, he was the king of the dragons and could summon four legendary dragons. However, dealing with all of the people present here would be quite difficult, even for someone like him.

‘Beanie’s also here, but…’

The Supreme Divine Beast Beanie could use the ‘Predator’s Authority,’ a skill that could allow him to use the skill of another person once. It could even copy the amount of damage and attack that the skill could deal, with all the buff effects included. However, the fact that he could only use it once meant that it would still be impossible for them to get out of this situation safely. Of course, Beanie’s basic force was overwhelmingly large. But against this number, it was useless.

Black Dragon furtively moved closer to Beanie and Luna. Then, he tried to rip apart the Mass Teleport parchment that was made with Golden Mage Ali’s powers.

[Magic Shackles.]

[An unknown power restricts the use of any kind of power that uses the mage’s mana.]

Shwaaaaaaaaa—

[With the ‘Magic Shackles’ in effect, the Memorize Parchment containing Mass Teleport has failed!]

Black Dragon’s face turned ugly. He hurriedly tried to send a whisper to Minhyuk.

[Black Dragon: Minhyuk. Requesting for urgent support!]

However, the mage that used Magic Shackles was a step faster than him.

[Silence.]

[Whispers, guild chats, party chats and all types of communication have been restricted. You won’t be able to send or receive any messages.]

“Do you think we’ll let you run away like that?” Rex chuckled darkly.

Everyone present knew how this would end. However, Black Dragon had various skills, abilities, items and artifacts in his arsenal. He had a skill, ‘Crisis Hawk’, prepared in case he encountered a situation like this.

Fweeeeeeeeet—

A black hawk responded to his call as a parchment appeared in front of him. Then, letters began to get branded on the parchment as Black Dragon thought of the message that he wanted to send.

[Minhyuk. Beanie, Luna and I are somewhere near Louvre Lake and we’re in danger. Requesting for support.]

Then, the parchment rolled and tied itself up on the feet of the black hawk.

[The Crisis Hawk is flying toward the player ‘Minhyuk.’]

[Once the Crisis Hawk arrives where Player ‘Minhyuk’ is, you will be able to communicate with him!]

“…”

The black hawk flew swiftly away from them.

“Kihyeeeee… kihyeeeeee!” The frightened Luna cried out, looking worriedly at Black Dragon and Beanie.

“Kill them all at once. Mages and archers, go first.”

The mages raised their staves while the archers pulled the strings of their bows at the words of Henry and Rex. Black Dragon closed his eyes for a moment while Rex, Henry and the rest of the people laughed at him.

Black Dragon had built quite a reputation in ZTube. This was because the chairman of the prestigious Ilhwa Group acted like a chuuni teenager in Athenae. He would speak cringe-worthy lines like, ‘Fufufu. Fools. Do you want to see the beings on my right arm go berserk?’ while chuckling like a villain.

They were certain that he would do the same this time. They were just waiting for him to say the line, before they would openly mock and laugh at him.

However, Black Dragon, who had his eyes closed, asked, “…Can’t you just let us go?”

“…”

“…”

Everyone looked at the man in confusion. This was not like the usual Black Dragon.

“If you want to go to war, then why don’t you go and officially declare one against the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom? If not, then let these children go and just come at me?”

“…”

“…”

Ilhwa Group Chairman’s Kang Minhoo was one of the world’s top entrepreneurs.

“Please, do not try to harm these little ones.”

Black Dragon cared deeply for Beanie and Luna. Perhaps a part of him blamed himself for being complacent and bringing them out, which led to this situation. However, he knew that if harm came their way, the one that would be the saddest was Minhyuk.

The one person that Black Dragon loved the most in the world was his son. Just thinking about how his son would grieve the loss of these precious beings was already making his heart ache.

‘I am a father before I am a chairman of a company.’

He was a father that loved his child dearly, willing to put down his pride for his son.

“Let these children go,” Black Dragon pleaded earnestly.

Some of the players cleared their throats. It seemed like they had realized how conceited and black-hearted they were at this moment.

“I’m sorry but we have also accumulated quite a lot of resentment, you know?”

However, Rex and Henry were guffawing. Black Dragon’s reaction made them certain that Minhyuk would be very sad if Beanie and Luna died. Rex raised his hand and swung it down. At the same time, hundreds of arrows and magics rained down on the three. The two laughed at the scene.

“Dear father, he must be very heartbroken, no? Hahaha!”

At that moment, Black Dragon’s gaze suddenly changed, while facing the hundreds of arrows and magic that were about to rain down on them.

“…”

His empty and blank eyes seemed to embody the void as he looked at Rex and Henry.

‘W, what the… that look…’

‘I feel like I’m being choked.’

Black Dragon had the gaze of an apex predator, one that stood at the top of the food chain. There were no ripples in his eyes, but the glint in them was sharper than anybody else's. At this moment, the two realized that they had provoked someone that they should not have.

Crack, crack, crack—

A powerful, overwhelming force suddenly burst out of Black Dragon’s arms. Dragons were summoned, starting with the appearance of the heads, followed by their huge bodies and long tails.

“Kihyeeeeeeeeeck!”

“Kihyeeeeeeeck!”

“Graaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“Roaaaaaaaar!”

Four dragons of different colors roared loudly.

[The Four Legendary Dragons are outraged!]

[The Four Legendary Dragons are being affected by their master’s raging emotions!]

The first dragon that Black Dragon had obtained among the Four Legendary Dragons was ‘Britney’. Britney was furious after he read Black Dragon’s thoughts, roaring as he blocked the downpour of arrows and magic with his body.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—!

Although the attacks hurt, Britney did not shriek from the pain. He showed a tough appearance toward the enemies that angered his master.

“Kihyeeeeeeeeck!!!”

Rex and Henry were both overwhelmed by the loud roar of the gigantic dragon that appeared in front of them. Immediately after that, the other three dragons made their presence known by unleashing their Breaths.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

There were some that received the brunt of a Poison Breath.

Crack, crack, crack, crack—

Some were frozen into ice cubes after being hit by a Cold Breath.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—

There were also some that were subjected to a Breath that nullified and ignored everything.

“Kihyeeeeeeeeck!”

“Graaaaaaaaaa!”

“Kihyeeeeeeeeck!”

The enemies were all left flustered and in disarray after being subjected to different Breaths. Meanwhile, Rex and Henry could only look at Black Dragon, who stood still amidst the raging Breaths.

The man stood there with a cold and arrogant gaze. It was as if he was standing at the top and looking down on them. They might have forgotten this fact, but Black Dragon was the chairman of a company. He was someone that had been standing at the top of the food chain for a very long time now.

Rex and Henry firmly believed that it was impossible for the three of them to defeat their party. After all, their numbers far exceeded theirs. They even had ten high rankers that were on par with Black Dragon in terms of strength. Besides, what could Black Dragon do alone? Unfortunately for them, reality proved otherwise.

“Kihyeeeeeeeeeeeck!”

Crack, crack, craaaaaack!

“Keuaaaaaack!”

“A, aaaaaack!”

“Keheoooook!”

The Four Legendary Dragons ran wild and killed the troops that Rex and Henry brought along. However, the most surprising part here was the fact that the Four Legendary Dragons did not retreat even though their bodies were being stabbed, torn and bombarded with swords, arrows and magic.

“Kihyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck!!!”

The roars of the Four Legendary Dragons, who wanted to protect their master, shook the world. Then, Black Dragon took a step toward his enemies.

Swooooooosh—

At the same time, dragon scales appeared all over his body and formed a glittering and majestic armor. Black Dragon, who was now garbed with his black dragon armor, stretched his right hand out as a long black spear made of bones appeared.

Crack, crack, crack—

A black stream of energy appeared in the spear that was in Black Dragon’s hand. Then, the black stream shot towards the sky.

“Assemble.”

[The Dragon Race responds to the summons of the Dragon Monarch!]

The skies darkened. Not long after, ear-piercing roars rang from the gaps in the dark sky.

“Kihyeeeeeeeck!”

“Kiheeeeeeeeeek!”

Rex and Henry turned to look at the sky, only to see hundreds of members of the dragon race descending rapidly, folding their wings as they knelt down in front of Black Dragon.

“Please…”

“…give us your orders!!!”

Black Dragon looked at the members of the dragon race in front of him with a haughty look on his face as he gave his orders, “Destroy them.”

The members of the dragon race spread their wings and flew to the sky with their long spears, throwing the enemies into chaos as they joined the fray.

Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—

Both Rex and Henry gulped dryly when they saw the members of the dragon race sweep through their troops. However, they soon came back to their senses. In a way, Black Dragon could be said to be a summoner. A summoner’s biggest disadvantage was the fact that all of their summons would disappear once they died.

Rex and Henry looked at Black Dragon, who was charging straight toward them.

“Kill Black Dragon!!!”

“Once you kill him, the dragons and the members of the dragon race will disappear!!!”

Summoners usually relied heavily on their summons. They might have better physical specs compared to mages, but they were still infinitely weaker compared to close combat classes. Hansen, one of the rankers in the top 2,000 rankings, and two other rankers from the top 10,000 rankings charged toward Black Dragon. However, something very surprising happened.

“Dragon’s Cry.”

Piiiiiiiiiing—

Black Dragon’s spear pierced through Ranker Hansen’s body, as he screamed from the pain. He was able to get back to his senses quickly and tried to exchange several blows with Black Dragon.

Slaaaaaaaaaash—

“Urk…!”

The next moment, Hansen collapsed on the ground.

With a cold and freezing gaze, Black Dragon cut down all of the enemies that blocked his path with his black spear. He ignored the damage received in exchange for charging forward swiftly, and in a blink, appeared in front of Henry.

Cold sweat broke out of Henry’s forehead when he saw Black Dragon appear in front of him.

Just like Minhyuk, Black Dragon was a tall man that reached 183 cm in height. Such a man was looking down at Henry as if he was insignificant.

Black Dragon had asked them politely before to just fight against him and leave Beanie and Luna alone. However, Henry and Rex just laughed at him. So, in response, Black Dragon said coldly, “Then, I will just have to kill all of you.”

Stab—
