Chapter 396

“Did they give up?

Ming Hu thought as he looked at Ataksha, who was no longer attacking or acting toward him. The look on Ataksha’s face suggested that she had given up. Or, more accurately, it looked like she had been shocked into a state of panic by her embarrassment.

“Let’s go fast at this point.

Seeing Ataksha’s panic, Ming Hu moved quickly; a minute would soon pass and the status immunity would be lifted.

* * * * *

-…Mother?

Letos, who had been waiting in the back after hearing Ataksha’s words, called out to her in a panicked voice when Ming Hu ran up and Ataksha did nothing.

“…”

But Ataksha said nothing to Letos’s call. Letos looked at Ataksha, who did not answer his call, and thought.

“What do I do?

I was told to wait. But now it seemed that waiting was not an option. Letos turned away from Ataksha to see Ming Hu running toward him.

‘I didn’t know there was a human being like that.

Letos didn’t understand the current situation. Surely the human had been hit twice by Ataksha’s devastating attack.

“If it were me…

It was a powerful divine attack that would have annihilated him several times over, but Ming Hu had been struck twice by Ataksha’s attacks and was still running as if nothing had happened.

“Did your mother see it?

Suddenly, I wondered if Ataksha was looking out for me. Otherwise, it doesn’t explain the current situation.

‘No. He said He came to destroy.’

But the next thought made Letos shake his head. Ataksha had clearly come to annihilate.

‘He has been manifested, and what he said just now was not a lie.

Moreover, he had come to Middle-earth in person, and the great power he had felt in the attack earlier was not a lie.

“…What should I do?

Back to square one as to what to do, Letos thought as he looked at the minghui that was about to reach him.

“I can’t run away.

Without Ataksha, he would have fled, but here he was. Even though Ataksha was unable to answer his call, he could not abandon her and run away.

“You can’t kill it.

Killing it doesn’t make sense. Ataksha’s attack didn’t work either. Letos never thought his attack would work.

“If I stay like this, I’ll die.

But staying still was also a problem. I felt like if I stayed here, something bad would happen.

‘Grrr, I guess I can’t help it.’

As Letos continued to deliberate, he finally came to a decision as his time was drawing to a close. There was no escape, and there was no point in attacking. There was only one thing left, then.

Squirming Swoosh

Letos moved his straight legs and crouched down. As he crouched, his skin began to glow with a yellow light.

* * * * *

“Holy shit!

As Ming Hu eagerly rushed toward Letos, he couldn’t help but frown at the color of Letos’ skin.

“Why is everything shiny?

The reason Ming Hu frowned was because every inch of Letos’s skin was glistening.

Of course, it wasn’t the glitter itself that was the problem. The problem was that attacking the shiny parts returned a certain amount of damage, and all of them were shiny. Ming Hu thought as he continued to run toward Letos.

‘How much is it going to reflect.

Hagan, the Archmage we captured earlier, reflected a staggering figure of over 20 million. I had no idea how much Letos, the higher being, would reflect.

“It’s a boss, but it’s all reflections, so it could be weaker.

It wasn’t necessarily reflecting more damage than Hagan. Rather, it could reflect more weakly due to its fuller range. Of course, this was all hypothetical.

“I don’t think I’m going to die at once.

Ming Hu was troubled. Hagan didn’t die in one hit. Letos wouldn’t be killed by a single basic attack, either.

“One punch will kill you.

However, I was concerned about the damage that would be returned when I used One Punch. Even if I didn’t, my basic attacks were already reflecting a staggering 20 million damage, and using a one-punch with 10 times the physical damage would surely kill me.

“Let’s check it out, there’s going to be a lot of these guys.

After some deliberation, Ming Hu decided to see how much damage was reflected from his basic attacks. In the future, some of the Kraken he would encounter would have the same ability to reflect as Letos, and it would be good to know in case he encountered them.

Jab!

Soon arriving in front of the crouching Letos, Ming Hu stopped walking, and then threw a punch at the glowing Letos’ leg.

Boom!

[You get back a percentage of the damage you did].

[You’ve taken a lot of temporary damage].

[Stunned for 2 seconds].

“Again.

As expected, the message popped up with a fist bump and a loud bang.

“But two seconds?

When Ming Hu saw the message, he couldn’t help but wonder.

“It was definitely three seconds.

What puzzled Ming Hu was the stun time. When he attacked Letos, he was stunned for two seconds, but when he attacked Hagan, a subordinate of Letos, he was stunned for three seconds.

“No way.

With a sudden thought, Ming Hu quickly checked his health.

“13 million left?

After checking his vitals, Ming Hu smiled.

“It should have a weaker reflected damage instead of a full range.

My suspicions were confirmed. Instead of a full range of reflections, Letos had a significantly lower number.

“Let’s not use one-punchers.

After seeing the health, Ming Hu decided not to use One Punch. There was no reason to use the Resurrection Scroll now that he knew the reflected numbers.

-ho, hororock.

When the stun lifted, Ming Hu heard Letos’s voice in pain, opened his inventory, pulled out a potion, and drank it, thinking, “I’m going to have to do this.

“How many do I need to write.

To avoid dying, I had to use a potion after each attack. There was no way to know how much potion would be used in the future.

“It doesn’t matter because there are many.

Of course, I wasn’t worried. I had over 100 potions in my inventory.

“That’s good enough to hit again.

Ming Hu checked his health and once again threw a punch at Letos.

Boom!

[You get back a percentage of the damage you did].

[You’ve taken a lot of temporary damage].

[Stunned for 2 seconds].

A fist popped and a message appeared.

-Ho, Horlock…

This time, Letos did not die, but his voice sounded even closer to death.

[30% of maximum health restored].

[Triples your health regeneration rate for 5 minutes].

As soon as Ming Hu was stunned, he pulled a potion from his inventory and took it. He turned around and looked at Ataksha. Ataksha still had a dazed look in her eyes.

“We’ve got to get it done and get out of there.

Ataksha wouldn’t kill me, but I couldn’t kill her. He had to kill Letos, pick up the item, and get out of here as soon as possible. Ming Hu threw his fist at Letos once more.

Boom!

[You get back a percentage of the damage you did].

[You’ve taken a lot of temporary damage].

[Stunned for 2 seconds].

The third attack struck and the message appeared again.

-Horrorock…

And Ming Hu could hear Letos’ cries, which carried a different emotion than before.

“Huh?

That wasn’t all.

“The light…

The yellow glow began to fade from Letos’ skin. Ming Hu watched in disbelief.

[Faraden: You have defeated Letos].

[Gains only 300,000 prestige].

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

.

.

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Increased rewards for the quest “Refurem’s Offer”].

When the light faded completely, a message appeared.

“Three rooms.

Ming Hu turned away from Letos and smiled at the message. As soon as he was stunned, he pulled a potion from his inventory and took it.

“Come on.

Taking the potion, Ming Hu walked quickly. Killing Letos wasn’t the end of the story.

“Dropped.

Letos was dead and had dropped many items. Ming Hu wondered if he would have gotten the item he wanted and wanted again or not.

“Let’s go get it.

Of course, my fast pace wasn’t due to the anticipation of whether or not an item would drop. Behind me was Ataksha. She’s dazed now, but you never know when she’ll snap.

[You’ve acquired the Kraken’s Spirit Stone].

.

.

[You have mastered the meat of the kraken].

Ming Hu moved quickly and began to pick up the dropped items.

“Huh?

After a while, however, Ming Hu was forced to stop walking by an item that came into view. Stopping in his tracks, Ming Hu stared in amazement at the item that had stopped him.

“That, that.

An equipment item, an equipment item, had dropped. Of course, Ming Hu’s surprise wasn’t because an equipment item had dropped.

“Gauntlet!

This was because the equipment item was Ming Hu’s favorite weapon, the gauntlet. Ming Hu quickly walked over and picked up the gauntlet, and a message appeared.

[Faraden: You have mastered the Gauntlet of Letos].
