Three Meals of a Reincarnator

Themeus opened his eyes wide and fixed his hands on his sword.

He also considered that weapon as a masterpiece and the best that he had ever made.

With that sword, Themeus struck Min Sung’s Gungnir S, which was flying his way.

Thud!

Along with the impact, Themeus grimaced.

He managed to strike the Gungnir S away, but the impact that he sensed through his arm was so powerful that he felt dizzy.

Before he could even attempt a counterattack, Min Sung had already grabbed onto his Gungnir S only a short distance away.

In order for a god to apply physical shock to a human, the corresponding conditions had to be met.

And in the case that a god meddled in the physical world, that god had to take responsibility for the consequences.

And in the case that the god took the same physical form as a human, they would suffer damage from strong power regardless of the fact that they were a god.

Themeus’ face turned from relaxed to serious.

Themeus was ready for a light sparring, but the human named Min Sung Kang wasn’t that weak.

If he didn’t pay attention, it was possible that he could actually be killed by a human being.

Themeus didn’t look down on Min Sung any longer.

He decided to give it all he had, and he used his authority with sincerity.

Gods had a variety of powers, and among those of Themeus, he had a buffer that made his weapon one step more powerful.

Even the most ordinary sword became extremely powerful with Themeus’ power.

That was Themeus’ power.

Themeus launched his power, and as a result, the sword in his hand shined with a brilliant light.

Min Sung’s Gungnir S and Themeus’ sword faced off against each other.

And from that point on, Themeus looked at the human named Min Sung Kang differently.

It was no longer sparring.

That was because the human was much too powerful.

The human he was fighting was so powerful that thinking of it as light sparring made him look arrogant.

It appeared that his force was close to that of a god.

‘How can a human become this powerful?’

He was curious, but he didn’t have time to think.

The battle came first.

***

This was the first time in a while that Min Sung felt nervous during a battle.

Despite the god being of low rank, he was very skilled.

Beyond the power of both their swords facing off against each other, there was something else that was hidden and giving him pressure.

That pressure felt heavy upon his mind.

And the same went for Themeus, but Min Sung wasn’t able to know that Themeus felt that way.

Min Sung was also solely focused on his battle against Themeus.

Boommmmmmm!

As soon as Min Sung’s sword collided against that of Themeus, an impact that was more powerful than anything he had felt, made Min Sung shake.

Min Sung jolted his eyes wide open.

The feeling that he could possibly defeat this god swept over him.

Min Sung had already abandoned his greed, but he still felt stimulated by some things.

That was how luring the territory of the gods was.

Min Sung’s attack poured upon Themeus.

His Gungnir S worked without stop, but Themeus didn’t back down.

Every time the Gungnir S and Themeus’ weapon collided, sparks flew, and by controlling his distance he kept the option of fleeing open.

But that didn’t mean Themeus felt completely free.

Themeus felt like he was going to die.

He thought he would have some fun with the human, but he was afraid he was going to go extinct at this rate.

‘What kind of human is this?’

Themeus swung his sword with all of his focus.

But Min Sung’s abilities had just begun.

Swoosh!

Min Sung spun like a top to avoid Themeus’ sword, and at the same time, he spun two more times and slashed through Themeus’ body.

Rather than shedding blood, the god’s body got chipped away.

Themeus stomped onto the ground hard with a raging face, and when he swung his sword at Min Sung, something surprising happened.

Dozens of weapons formed in the air, and they all charged toward Min Sung at the same time.

Upon spotting Themeus’ dozens of weapons, Min Sung charged his Gungnir S with magic energy.

He then rolled on the ground and lowered his sword upon the flying weapons.

Roarrrrrrr!

Boommmm!

As a result of his magic energy, Themeus’ weapons bounced off.

And Min Sung slipped through the crack and swung his sword at Themeus himself.

When Themeus saw Min Sung’s unexpected counterattack, he activated another power.

He intended to restrain his opponent within his weapons.

As a god, he had made all sorts of things, and since all of the things he had made contained powers, they possessed outstanding ability.

A dark liquid shot up from the ground with Min Sung in the center.

The sky was open, but as soon as he tried to escape, the magic energy restrained 90% of his movements.

Themeus believed that now that he trapped Min Sung within his weapon, he could now attack.

***

Although the black liquid had him trapped, Min Sung wasn’t taken aback.

He had already found out that a powerful force was above him.

But escaping didn’t seem easy.

So Min Sung had no choice but to quickly enter the shop and see what he could spend his experience points on.

And what Min Sung chose wasn’t a skill or a power.

It was magic energy output.

Since he wasn’t able to purchase a decent skill or power with his current number of experience points, putting it all into magic energy was the most rational thing to do.

So Min Sung picked the magic energy without hesitation.

Once he used his experience points, Min Sung sensed unlimited strength flowing through him.

A bright light flashed from Min Sung’s eyes.

***

Themeus’ expectation didn’t turn into reality.

He thought it would now be a one-sided game, but that belief was shattered into pieces.

That was because with magic energy output alone, Min Sung Kang managed to break out of the black walls he had created.

Boommmmmm!

As the dark walls shattered into pieces, Min Sung walked out and stared at Themeus, who was floating in the air, with cold eyes.

Themeus clenched his teeth and flew toward Min Sung.

Themeus’ left arm then showed off a round shield that glowed with a gold light.

As soon as Min Sung swung his sword, Themeus put up his shield.

The sword and shield collided, but Themeus didn’t lose his balance.

Half of the damage drained through his shield, and after a smooth twist of his body, he swung his sword at Min Sung.

But Min Sung dodged Themeus’ strike and at the same time, he made his way in.

He used the fist that wasn’t holding the Gungnir S and attacked Themeus’ side.

Pow!

The heavy impact nearly put cracks in Themeus’ face.

After that, Min Sung used his forehead to hit Themeus’ head, and he then stabbed his Gungnir S into his abdomen.

Slash!

As the Gungnir S penetrated Themeus’ abdomen, his legs flew into the air.

Min Sung stabbed his Gungnir S into the ground.

Thuddd!

Crackkkk!

The ground cracked as if an earthquake occurred.

“Ugh…!”

Themeus coughed.

Since he wasn’t human, he didn’t throw up blood, but his body began to chip away greatly.

Min Sung stepped on him. He took out the Gungnir S from the ground and lowered it on his forehead.

Kaboom!

Along with the sound of thunder, the Gungnir S stopped just 1-centimeter away from Themeus’ forehead.

Themeus stared up at Min Sung.

Min Sung took away his weapon and looked down at Themeus.

“… Why did you stop?” Themeus asked.

“If I kill you, I’ll never know what the weapon that can cut down the Iris tree is or find it.”

Themeus closed his eyes and smirked.

“I see.”

Themeus laughed and slowly got up with a pale face.

Although he had a hole in his stomach, he didn’t seem to have been impacted as much as a human would’ve been, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t affected.

Themeus slowly got up in a tired manner.

“Are we going to keep going?” Min Sung asked.

“I’m not that foolish.”

Themeus laughed without much energy.

Min Sung nodded.

[The Dionysus Gods are angry.]

[The Dionysus Gods feel betrayed.]

[The Dionysus Gods are requesting that you stop immediately.]

Kaboom!

The sound of thunder could be heard.

He couldn’t tell if it was the gods’ rage or if it was just good timing.

“Those crazy gambling sons of b*tches.”

In response to Min Sung’s remark, Themeus looked at him with confused eyes.

“I’m not talking to you. Those gambling gods keep rambling on.”

Themeus laughed quietly.

“Of course, they are. You broke the taboo.”

“I don’t care.”

“I know that.”

“Where’s the weapon?”

“I’ll give it to you. Don’t press me. And before I hand it to you, remember one thing.”

“…?”

Min Sung looked at Themeus with knitted eyebrows.

“Big responsibility follows breaking the taboo.”

Min Sung scoffed.

“You’ve got to be kidding me. You’re the ones gambling with human beings. If they’re that mad, tell them to come down here. I have no interest in playing around with Dionysus Gods.”

Themeus smiled.

“I knew you’d say that.”

“Now give it to me,” Min Sung spoke coldly, and Themeus smirked as he used his power to summon the weapon that would cut down the Iris tree.
