Chapter 90

At Ming Hu’s words, Sun Tzu slowly turned his head to look at Ming Hu, then frowned and opened his mouth to speak.
“What?”
At Sun Tzu’s reaction, Ming Hu smiled and raised his hand, pointing a finger at Sun Tzu.
tick-tock
“Come on, Eion, good boy!”
“Is this asshole out of his mind, fucker!”
The five users who were blocking the entrance also rushed toward Ming Hu at his words.
“…”
Ming Hu stared blankly at Sun Tzu as he ran toward him with the axe, and when Sun Tzu picked it up, he smiled and looked at it.
“Yeah, come on!
Waiting for the axe to come, Ming Hu raised his arm to block the axe as it fell to his shoulder.
Puck!
Then I felt an axe in my arm and a message start to appear.
[You have been attacked by the user ‘soondong’].
[enters hostilities with the party of user ‘naughty’].
[Killing a hostile user in a preemptive strike does not increase your offender count].
[Reduces death penalty by 50% if you are killed by a preemptive strike].
Ming Hu smiled at the message and looked at Sun Tzu. Sun Tzu’s eyes widened slightly in surprise as he raised his arm to block the axe.
Swoop
When Ming Hu saw the message, he smiled at Sun Tzu, curling the corners of his mouth even wider. Sun Tzu saw Minghu’s smile and raised his axe once more.
“You son of a bitch, power attack!”
With a cry, he swung his axe. The blade of the axe was dyed red as it flew back at Ming Hu. Ming Hu, who of course didn’t care whether the axe flew or not, turned his gaze slightly and looked at the five rushing users.
“Should I use a bloodbomb and take out one person?
Soondong and the five users were within 10 meters of the explosion’s range, but the explosion only damages a maximum of five people. That left six opponents, or one, and we were stuck.
“Or wait a bit longer and do a life explosion?
For Life Blast, it has a range of 3M, but it damages all enemies in range. It was clear that if I waited long enough, I would be within 3M.
“No.
But after some thought, Ming Hu realized that he didn’t need to use Blood Explosion or Life Explosion; after all, Shun Dong knew him as a blacksmith, and he didn’t need to be reminded that he wasn’t one.
Sigh
Ming Hu quickly opened his inventory and took out a hammer. Before long, the other five users arrived and began to beat Ming Hu with Sun Tzu.
“Wow, that blacksmith is a big guy.”
“Yeah, the Twin Axes Guild is pretty good about that… did you get anything good for your merit?”
“Huh? Dude, I got the hammer out. He’s about to strike back!”
The players around him were murmuring as they watched Ming Hu get beaten up by Six. Hearing the murmur, Shundong frowned and called out to Ming Hu, who pulled out his hammer.
“You asshole, you think we’re gonna pick up a hammer? Don’t you realize how crappy production hammer balls are?”
At Sun Tzu’s words, Ming Hu smiled faintly and watched Sun Tzu axe himself.
“Hey. There’s something I didn’t tell you.”
“…?”
“My hammer has a special option.”
The hammer Ming Hu pulled out was the Hammer of Production. True to his word, the Hammer of Production has a special option that has a 10% chance to produce one additional crafted item. This option is completely useless in combat, but Ming Hu was going to make it useful. Of course, he wasn’t going to make items here. Ming Hu was going to lie.
Swoosh!
Ming Hu raised his hammer in the air with a flourish. Sun Tzu and the five users paused slightly as Ming Hu raised the hammer.
“Oooh!!! Thor!!!”
At Ming Hu’s shout, Sun Tzu and the other five users stopped in their tracks and took five steps back in surprise. Ming Hu looked at the five users and thought to himself.
“You really believe it.
The look of surprise on his face made me think he really believed that there was a special option. It was the same for the users around him. When Ming Hu saw this reaction, he looked at Sun Dong and smiled wryly. Then he opened his mouth to speak.
“Guraya.”
Ming Hu’s laughter and words made Sun Tzu and the five users’ expressions widen. The other players around them were once again stunned by Ming Hu’s words.
“I thought you were real. You’re a good actor.”
“Holy crap, the Twin Axe Guild is being pranked! That blacksmith is awesome!”
“Ouch.”
Hearing the commotion from the users, the red-faced Shun Deng approached Ming Hu with an axe in hand, shouting, “Ming Hu!
“Fucking asshole, you really know how to fold a game!”
“You son of a bitch!”
“I searched!”
He wasn’t the only one; the five users who had remained silent up until this point were also shouting for Myung-hoo.
Sigh
Ming Hu raised his hammer. He ran to the nearest user and swung the hammer at him.
“It doesn’t hurt to hit me with that shit.”
As the hammer flew, the user opened his mouth to say that he had no intention of dodging it. But Ming Hu had no intention of listening to him.
Puck!
“…”
The user hit by the hammer remained silent. Ming Hu turned his gaze away from the hammer and stared at the player next to him. The player’s axe was flying. Ming Hu swung his hammer quickly.
Puck!
An axe struck Ming Hu’s left arm.
Puck! Fluff!
The axe struck his left arm, and the hammer of Minghu struck the user. At the same time, a crashing sound could be heard behind him, followed by the murmurs of the onlookers.
“Oh, my God, that.”
“What is it?”
“I don’t think that’s a stun. What is it?”
Ming Hu heard the commotion and turned quickly. Two players were coming toward him, axes raised. Ming Hu took two steps toward them.
“Die, asshole!”
“You lazy bastard!”
Two steps closer, two axes flew at him. Ming Hu ignored the flying axes and swung his hammer at the face of the user to his right.
Puck! Puck! Puck!
The two axes struck Ming Hu and his hammer struck the user on the right. Ming Hu immediately retrieved his hammer and swung it at the user on the left.
“Hmm?
Swinging his hammer at the user on the left, Ming Hu was puzzled to see the user looking at him with a blank expression as the hammer flew by. Of course, he didn’t stop swinging the hammer.
Puck!
Ming Hu’s hammer struck the player to his left. Immediately afterward, Ming heard the voices of the players around him.
“Oh my God. I’m dead.”
“The second one that got hit is dead.”
“Dude, does that mean the two inside are dead too?”
As he listened to them, Ming Hu looked at Sun Tzu and the one remaining user.
“…”
“…”
Sun Tzu and the last user wordlessly raised their axes and swallowed hard, looking back and forth between Ming Hu and the members of his guild who had been killed by Ming Hu.
“Ugh, I’m falling down.”
Just then, a third and fourth user started falling backwards, as the onlooker said.
Whisk! Whisk!
“What…what.”
Sun Tzu muttered, looking dazed. Ming Hu listened to Shun Dong’s mutterings and walked leisurely toward Shun Dong and the last user.
“You…asshole!”
As the end approached, the last user pulled his axe back. The last user’s axe was unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
Jumbled
Ming Hu slowly approached, and when the last user thought he was within range, he let out a cry and swung the axe he had pulled back at Ming Hu.
“Die, asshole, power charging!”
Ming Hu saw the axe flying toward him, red with energy, and swung his hammer at it.
Boom!
Soon there was the sound of an axe meeting a hammer.
“Uh…huh?”
At the same time, the axe bounced back. The last user holding the axe took a few steps forward to catch the axe as it bounced away.
“…Hi.”
Ming Hu smiled and greeted the user who stepped in front of him, swinging his hammer in greeting.
Puck!
“…”
The user who was hit in the face with the hammer said nothing. Ming Hu pushed the user aside and approached Sun Tzu.
“This…this.”
As Ming Hu approached, Sun Tzu, who had come to his senses, exclaimed with a look of incredulity.
“You son of a bitch, special options bullshit!”
“Yes, Guraya!”
Ming Hu smiled brightly and swung the hammer toward Shun Dong’s face.
Whiz! Puck!
Without much resistance, the little guy gave in to the hammer and slowly began to fall backwards.
whisk
Soon, Sun Tzu fell backward, and Ming Hu opened his inventory and added the hammer. Then he looked around.
“…”
“…”
“…”
The users who were chattering away just a few moments ago were so quiet you’d think it was silent.
-Gold to Jung-Seok Chung: Gam now.
Myung-hoo whispered something to Min-hyung and began walking toward the general store in front of the entrance to the imperial palace where Min-hyung would be, and as soon as he was out of sight, the silent users began to chatter again.
“Huh, they’re really dead.”
“What are the special options?”
“I thought you said that was bullshit.”
“Do you believe that, you idiot? How can a blacksmith kill them? Do you think they’re that weak?”
“It is, isn’t it?”
“Sure, but I think I’d better get out of here.”
“Why?”
“It’s the little brother of the two-headed axe Gilma, and he’ll be here soon, so let’s go, because there might be a fire!”
“Man, I feel sorry for that blacksmith. He’s a double-axe Gilmar Ranker.”
“I don’t care. Hunting…huh.”
The user who had been talking about going hunting stopped with a surprised look on his face.
“Hey, what’s wrong?”
“Look.”
“What the…”
The two users were unable to say anything.
“What an asshole!”
“Holy shit!”
“What an asshole!”
Dozens of users, each carrying a different kind of axe, were approaching the exchange.
