Chapter 259

-What, what!

Maltario cried out in panic. Of course, Ming Hu did not respond to Maltario’s shout.

“One punch!”

He revived, resetting all of his skills’ cooldowns. Ming Hu began to rain down skills on Maltario.

Swoosh, bang, bang!

Puddles of blood formed and ripples spread out, and each strike of Ming Hu’s fist was accompanied by a massive roar.

-Kaaaaaah!

Maltario’s screams began to echo. Whether it was the black skill that had killed Ming Hu earlier that had sapped his strength or the immense pain, Maltario could only scream, unable to attack.

Ming Hu, who had been beating Maltario one-sidedly, thought as he heard Maltario’s screams, which showed no sign of dying.

“That’s a lot of blood.

A normal monster would have been dead by now, but Maltario was no normal monster.

“I wish I could see the blood vessels.

It was a shame that he showed no signs of life. Ming Hu continued to pound on Maltario, wondering when he would die. After a while, Ming Hu saw the message he was looking for.

-To the filthy bastards of Elgav!

[You have defeated Maltario].

[5 million prestige].

[You have accomplished an unbelievable feat].

[10 million prestige].

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

.

.

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

Maltario’s shout was accompanied by a huge number of messages.

Swoosh!

At the same time, Maltario’s body began to slowly fade away.

“Item!

Ming Hu stared blankly at the message, then came to his senses as the Maltario’s body began to disappear. This was one of the best monsters he’d ever captured. I couldn’t wait to see what it would drop.

Sigh

When the body disappeared, Ming Hu quickly looked down to check the ground. Fortunately, the ground had been leveled back to where it had been when Maltario appeared.

Worried about what would happen if the ground was dug up and the item fell into it, Ming Hu realized that there was no need to worry, and lifted his head to look at the head. All that was left was his head, and it was slowly disappearing. Soon, the head disappeared completely.

Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak

A huge number of items appeared where Maltario’s head used to be.

“…Yikes.”

The sight left Ming Hu speechless. There were more items dropped than he thought. While Ming Hu was wondering, the items slowly began to fall to the ground.

“…Huh?”

As Ming Hu looked at the item, he couldn’t help but be stunned as it gradually accelerated and fell to the ground.

“If I fall from that position…

It looked pretty dangerous. Of course, getting hit by an item wasn’t going to take away all of my 18 million health, so I wasn’t worried about dying.

Jumbled

But there was no reason to get hit by the item just because it wouldn’t kill you. Ming Hu stepped back and waited for the item to drop.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Soon, the items landed on the ground, creating a roar of dust. Ming Hu looked at the items on the ground after the dust had cleared. A smile spread across his face.

“Wow, did this all come from that worm?”

Minhyung walked up to Myeonghu’s side and looked at the item. Minhyung wasn’t the only one who came. Rapid, the girl, Karotte, and Prominence followed behind Minhyung.

“Wow, there are so many dads!”

“…How.”

-That’s great. Lord!

-As I suspected. Even a half-divine demon poses no threat at all, huh.

The other four chimed in with their own words. Ming Hu smirked at their comments and walked over to the dropped items, reaching out to collect them.

-You have mastered the Sword of the Wild.

-You have mastered Gressri’s magic staff.

-You have acquired the Twilight Armor.

-You have mastered Maltario’s Shell.

-You have acquired a piece of Maltario’s skin.

There was a huge variety of items dropped, from gear items to other items.

“That’s the last one.”

After a while, Ming Hu reached for the last item.

-You have acquired Maltario’s Leather Armor.

[Maltario’s leather armor is attributed].

“…?

After picking up the last item, Ming Hu paused at the message, turning his attention away from the message to look at the item he was holding, the Leather Armor of Maltario.

“Attributed?

The message was clearly attributed. Ming Hu quickly checked the information on the ‘Leather Armor of Maltario’.

[Attributed] [Not Tradable]

Limitations: None

Physical Defense: 25000

50% less damage taken

Armor made from the hide of the Maltario. Very safe to wear.

‘…’

After confirming the information, Ming Hu was unable to say anything. Surprisingly, the attributed ‘Leather Armor of Maltario’ was a Demigod-grade item. Of course, Ming Hu’s inability to speak wasn’t because it was Demigod-grade. It was the options.

There was only one option, despite the demigod rating, but that one option was shocking.

‘Damage taken… reduced by…? 50% less damage?’

As Ming Hu considered his options, he thought of Maltario. There was a reason it had taken him so long to capture him, as he showed no signs of dying after all of his attacks. Ming Hu checked the information on the Frost Armor he was currently wearing.

Limit: 2500 Potency, 500 Health, 50,000+ Life

Physical Defense: 4000

10% Movement Speed, -10% Attack Speed

On hit, has a 10% chance to unleash a wave of frigid cold, slowing enemies within 5 meters by 40%.

5% chance to gain 3000 Physical Defense for 20 seconds when hit.

Armor that radiates a bone-chilling coldness, hard.

It was a good option, to be sure, but it paled in comparison to the Leather Armor of Maltario. Ming Hu immediately removed his frost armor and donned the leather armor of Maltario. He turned around and looked at the group waiting for him.

“What do you think?”

Minhyung asked. Ming Hu looked at his inventory at Minhyung’s question. The inventory was filled with the items that Maltario had dropped. Ming Hu looked back at Min Hyung and said

“It’s a bitch. Legendary items in particular are down quite a bit.”

The items Maltario dropped had a default tier of Unique. A few items had a Legendary tier, which is a higher tier than Unique.

“Yikes…”

Minhyung exclaimed at Myeonghu’s words. Then he asked, “What is it?

“But how many ups did you do?”

“Oh, right!”

Shortly after defeating Maltario, I received a huge number of leveling up messages along with the kill message. He’d forgotten about them while picking up items. Ming Hu quickly opened his character window.

“…!

Checking the character window, Ming Hu was surprised. Of course, it wasn’t the fame that surprised him. It had risen by 15 million and was approaching 20 million, but that was it. What surprised Ming Hu was the level.

‘I’m pretty sure… 331.

You kill Arudosa and reach 331. After that, the only monster you caught was a Maltario.

“It’s up 40?

Ming Hu’s current level was 371. He had leveled up 40 times by killing Maltario. Considering his current level, that’s a lot of experience.

Myungkyung Headquarters Breakout Room

“Then I’ll adjust it so we can add it in the next regular update.”

“Thank you.”

“Well, let’s adjourn the meeting.”

“Yes, thank you.”

After the meeting, Kim stood up from his seat and began walking out of the breakout room to his office.

That was the moment.

Tiri-tiri-tiri-tiri-tir

Hearing the ringing, Kim reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone to see who it was.

“…No heat?”

The caller was Jang Moo-yeol, who was waiting for him in his office.

“Why else…”

It was unnerving. He knew she had gone to the breakout room, but if she was still calling, something must have happened.

Sigh

“…Why?”

Kim picked up the phone and asked him why he was calling.

-Something’s wrong!

“…What?”

I didn’t think so, but it seems to have happened.

-Maltario… got caught.

“…”

Jang Moo-yeol’s voice on his cell phone left Kim Mu-woong speechless for a moment. But after a moment’s hesitation, Kim opened his mouth.

“That wandering demon… Maltario?”

-Uh…

“Did you get all the weakening quests?”

-No, not at all… clean.

“…”

In response to Jang Moo-yeol’s answer, Kim Mu-woong closed his mouth again, but soon opened it with a look of disbelief and exclaimed.

“Then how did it get caught? No, it had nothing to do with this demonic incident in the first place. How did it get caught? Are you kidding me?”

-Dude, you’re not gonna play with that, I’m looking into it. Come on, come on!

“…Got it.”

Kim ended the call and put his cell phone in his pocket. Then, with a frown on his face, he quickly started running to his office.
