Shiiiing—
They saw him pulling out his sword from its sheath.
“Ha!”
Vlan laughed incredulously. They might be incumbent non-commissioned officers right now but they were once a part of the nation’s special forces.
Not long ago, they even participated in a real-time mock survival battle against the US Special Naval Forces. Although they lost in the mock battle, they were still veterans who have trained for quite a long time.
But then, some bastard who they did not even know of, suddenly entered their encircling net…
“You have done something that should never be done.”
Vlan thought carefully about what he was talking about.
‘Did Lucia tell him something?’
If they were really lovers, then this man would definitely be angry. That was enough reason for him to move like this. However, his bravery would rather make Lucia feel sorry for him.
The man grabbed his sword tightly as he dashed towards Vlan.
“I mixed that kamjjamppong with tuna and sausages!”
“……?”
The man dashed towards him with a fierce momentum.
A member of the Bacallo guild drew a dagger and blocked the man.
Vlan clicked his tongue.
Alicia clicked her tongue.
‘I can’t believe they did such a good job of stopping Minhyuk-nim from eating his fill.’
The scene enlarged in the monitor was that of a man wearing a white mask and the Bacallo guild’s confrontation.
On the other hand, the other guild masters were talking in groups.
“The company commander of the Bacallo guild is really strong.”
“Did you fight him?”
“The people with me in the guild right now used to fight with those guys. At that time, four of my kids were at Lv120.”
“?”
“They didn’t make it through their tactical field. The four of them were even killed by three Lv70 people. They were even robbed clean. I heard that they were really no joke…”
“Wow…… how in the world can a Lv120 be defeated by a Lv70.”
“It’s quite amazing. They would hit you then disappear like a ghost. In the first place, since they were soldiers, they used the landscape to their advantage too and unless you break down their formation then you won’t be able to get away from their transparent encirclement. It’s like you’re caught in a spiderweb. Lucia wouldn’t even be able to get out once she’s trapped in their tactical field. You’ll only get out once you’re dead… “
Alicia nodded her head when she heard the explanation.
‘Interesting.’
When she met Minhyuk back then, she couldn’t tell how strong he was. But wasn’t he constantly training himself to become strong(?).
At that moment when the guild masters finished talking, Alicia heard Cain murmur something.
“……That person is walking differently.”
Alicia turned her head to look closely at the monitor.
Cain’s father might be a CEO but he was also someone who won gold medals in both kendo and judo.
“A black belt [1], no, he’s weird.”
The person who blocked Minhyuk’s way was named Ben. He was a warrior class user but he specializes in daggers.
He was also a 3-dan in kendo, 3-dan in judo and a 4-dan in taekwondo. He did not bring any shame to the name special forces. His skills in the martial arts were also among the best.
He was thinking of stabbing Minhyuk in the neck and waist in one breath.
Daaaaash!
The moment Minhyuk reached in front of him…
Fwoooom!
Graaaab!
Minhyuk easily grabbed his wrist with one hand.
“……!”
Ben and Vlan’s eyes grew wide at the same time.
Ben tried to kick Minhyuk’s knees however, Minhyuk’s feet were faster.
Bang!
“Kgghk!”
He stepped on Ben’s foot while Ben aimed for his chin with his elbows.
Swish!
Minhyuk easily evaded the attack with a tilt of his head.
Graaab!
“Keuk……!”
His grip on his wrists tightened. He might not be able to feel real pain but he could still feel the chill. And with just that much strength, Ben was forced to go down on his knees.
Slash!
Minhyuk who slashed Ben’s throat with Valan walked towards Vlan.
Vlan was looking at the logged-out Ben in a daze.
‘W, what the hell…… B, Ben’s one of the best in my unit…… How could that bastard do that!’
With his signal…
Daaaaash!
Daaaaash!
Three of the guild members who were in the vicinity appeared and surrounded Minhyuk.
Dash!
Slash!
Swiiish!
Fwooom!
Slash!
It was quick and clean. Minhyuk calmly put them under control within 2 minutes.
His stats were overwhelming.
And even if they had the same stats as him, they wouldn’t be able to match him with skills. Furthermore, before he went to where they are he already buffed himself up by eating.
Vlan already hid himself in the woods while they were fighting. Then he pressed down on a button on his left wrist.
This was the special ability of the Iron Blooded Commander.
As soon as the tactical field was activated and he was able to give orders to his troops, a map would be shown then he would be able to assess the status of his troops and tactical field.
“This is the company commander. Listen to my orders. From now on, we will activate the tactical field!”
Swooooooosh!
A transparent blue wall started to form. This was a proof that the tactical field was activated.
Then, a map suddenly appeared in front of Vlan. There were red dots that appeared on the map. These dots indicate the position of his troops. If the target fights with his troops then the enemy’s position would be marked in blue. This blue would appear then quickly disappear.
‘Damn it, he’s more powerful than I thought.’
There were many hidden masters in Athenae. There were even rumors that there was a 100 level difference between the number 1 top ranker and the number 1 closed door ranker.
However, Vlan still had a grin on his face.
“But right now, you’re just a rat trapped in my trap…!”
Vlan laughed sinisterly.
No enemy has ever escaped their tactical field.
A bluish barrier appeared in the forest.
A woman approached the barrier. She pressed her hands on it and found out that she could not penetrate it and could only push on it as if it was a solid wall.

‘I heard a scream coming from here?’
This woman was the one who gave Minhyuk the drink Elch’s earlier. Her name was Lou. Lou was also a big shot but in this tournament she was only akin to a normal archer.

She jumped up on top of a tree to scout the users inside the barrier.
‘It’s the Bacallo guild?’
They were camouflaged in various places inside the barrier. Some users were setting up tricks and traps, some were aiming with their crossbows while some were hiding behind trees.
Daaaaash!
She climbed up at a higher incline to see the situation inside better. As she looked down from the incline into the barrier…
‘Wow……’
It was both a spectacular and a not spectacular sight.
Inside the barrier, the Bacallo guild members maintained their position. For Lou, who was not familiar with it, it looked like their positions were very stable.
Then, she saw a man walking out of the forest.
‘Huh…? That man…’
It was the person who made her feel relaxed and free from tension in the convenience store.
‘Don’t tell me that he’s the one the Bacallo guild was after?’
She tilted her head in thought.
That user was someone who did not look strong but it was nice to see him smile and eat happily.
At that moment…
Fwoooooosh!
A crossbow was shot.
Twaaaang!
As soon as another man pressed on a button, the installed trap exploded along with a thick cloud of dust.
Lou watched with bated breath.
The Bacallo guild members slowly narrowed the distance with the area surrounded by the thick cloud of dust.
A man looked at his hands.
‘He stopped.’
Then…
Slaaaaaash!
The man tore through the cloud of dust and slashed another man’s chest. Then, he kicked on the tree and attacked the man who had just sent a signal out. The man’s sword suddenly flashed with a white light.
The moment the man who was attacked on his chest shrieked in alarm, the man attacked the rest one after another.
Slaash!
Slaaaaaash!
‘F, fast…’
Lou was very astonished.
The man cut off two men in a single breath and quickly dealt with and got rid of the remaining two.
Then, Lou met the man’s eyes.
Step.
“Ah, hello.”
He bowed and greeted Lou politely. Lou unconsciously bowed her head in return.
“……”
Jan was left speechless.
Everything happened so quickly.
A moment of silence passed in the stands. Then, the man’s voice and actions towards the woman broke the silence.
“W, wooooooooow!”
“C, cool!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“A, an incredible scene just happened, Pro Mukbanger! He wasn’t just someone who eats well!”
“Wow…… He’s unexpectedly attractive……”
“He’s quite polite. He even said hello to the person who gave him a drink earlier, right?”
The audience broke out in cheers.
Jan’s wyvern king flew up in the air and flew on top of the tactical field.
“Kiheeeeeee!”
The wyvern king hovered around the tactical field which allowed Jan to clearly see the situation within the barrier.
“Ah, User Minhyuk completes his eighth kill, ninth, tenth! Eleventh kill!”
He was roaming around the tactical field to hunt the members of the Bacallo guild.
“Waaaaaaah!”
The shouts and cheers grew louder and louder.
The Sword Emperor, Ellie. She inherited her father, the former emperor’s name and reputation. She was hailed as the greatest emperor in history.
She was half-lying on her throne with a frigid expression on her face and a sword in her arms. Her figure truly reflects the image of the Sword Emperor.
As she sat there with her long blonde hair, everyone recognized that she was a great beauty.
“Looks like the competition is reaching its climax.”
“Yes, your Majesty. There’s also a foreigner who eats very well in the competition.”
“A foreigner who eats well?”
Ellie had a curious look on her face.
Were the people cheering for him because he eats so well?
In fact, Ellie really did not care a bit about the competition. She was just following the orders of the God of Athenae. They instructed her to find her successor and pass on her sword arts.
However, in actuality, she did not have any interest in her future successor. It was just a mission given to her by God after all.
He was not someone who was special so she was not very interested in this tournament.
‘Eating well… Well, that’s a good thing.’
There was also a time when eating was considered to be a joy in her life.
Is it also a pleasure to have everything a man wishes in the world?
Having everything did not mean that someone would not be fond of eating. It was a happiness that could only feel three times a day.
I miss this happiness.
Her attention was piqued a little.
“Bring me the magic crystal ball.”
Her vassals moved quickly to heed Ellie’s words. The magic crystal ball was already prepared but they did not turn it on because Ellie said that she did not want to see it.
The huge magic crystal ball was placed in front of Ellie. In the crystal ball, she saw a foreigner wearing a white mask in the forest being besieged by concealed foreigners.
Fwooooom!
The man’s sword was wrapped in a white light. He raised his sword and slashed quickly three times in a row.
Slash!
Slash!
Slash!
Ellie started watching it with her eyes half closed but it soon started to grow wide in shock. She sprang up in her seat.
The sword wielded by the man had the symbol of the phoenix on its grip.
There was only one man and one man alone who had that. It was the sword she bestowed upon the person she loved and cared for the most.
“Ellie’s Kitchen Knife…!”
The sword was shining brightly in the hands of an unknown foreigner.

I just realized this… I was so glad that the thing the Bacallo guild threw was not the watermelon like in the manhwa. Such a shame if that precious fruit was wasted.
