Three Meals of a Reincarnator

Repone, who plopped down against the wall with the crack in it, looked up with a pale face and looked at Min Sung.

He then stabbed his sword into the ground and got back up.

“… I’m impressed.

Repone smirked and continued, “To be honest, when you tried to make one of the highest-ranked players in Beatrice into one of your subordinates, I didn’t think much of it. But at this rate, I should be nervous.”

Repone’s smile spread across his face.

“I should brace myself. I might lose.”

Min Sung looked at him as if he didn’t want to talk and stared right at Repone, waiting for him to attack.

Repone’s lip tweaked as his eyes were filled with the desire to kill, and then something completely unexpected happened.

Crackkkkk!

Repone’s body began to change.

Scales began to form on his body, and his skin turned red.

Min Sung watched Repone transform with knitted brows.

Repone, who now had red scales all over his body, began to attack.

Repone opened his mouth to unleash a goblet of fire containing an unbelievable amount of magic energy.

Min Sung grimaced and swung his Gungnir S toward the goblet of fire that launched from Repone’s mouth.

Min Sung’s magic energy and the goblet of fire collided.

As the flames spread, the fire shot out in all directions.

Since there was great magic energy within the fire, it was on a whole different level from regular fire.

The protective magic melted down as a result of the fire, and as a result, the inside of the gym began to melt as well.

Meanwhile, Min Sung charged through the fire toward Repone.

While red flames filled Repone’s eyes, a magic square formed beneath Min Sung’s feet.

Pinggggg!

A thin and high-pitched sound rang.

And at the same time, a pillar of fire shot up from the magic square.

Since the pillar of fire contained very powerful mana, if he hit the mark, much more than just minor damage would result.

Min Sung’s body shook.

While Min Sung disappeared, the pillar of fire shot up and pierced through the ceiling, of which the protective magic was already destroyed.

Repone’s magical attack failed, and it was now Min Sung’s turn to make a move, but Repone had already prepared for his next attack.

The 7 powerful blades charged toward Min Sung as if they were itching to attack.

He must have upped his force because it was much faster and more powerful than before.

There were limits to how much the Gungnir S could fight off. Repone’s sword began to cause damage to Min Sung’s body.

The 7 blades ripped into Min Sung’s skin.

It must have been painful, but Min Sung’s face didn’t change.

Repone attacked continuously as he grinned to one side.

Min Sung’s body began to be covered in blood.

“He’s a player that came from Beatrice?”

Ji Yoo Kim asked with a surprised face, and Ho Sung Lee smoked his cigarette as he nodded.

“Yes.”

Ji Yoo Kim gulped and looked at the gym.

Since he had an unfamiliar face, she wondered who he was, but she didn’t imagine he was a player from Beatrice.

Ji Yoo Kim sighed with a shocked look on her face.

“Will he be okay?” She asked Ho Sung Lee.

“Well, you know him. He always solves everything easily. I’m sure it’ll be the same this…”

In the middle of Ho Sung Lee’s sentence, a pillar of fire pierced through the ceiling, making a very loud noise.

Upon seeing that, Ho Sung Lee and Ji Yoo Kim’s eyes jolted wide open.

The gym was protected by magic, so it was hard to believe that they pierced through the ceiling.

But Ji Yoo Kim was surprised once more when she saw Ho Sung Lee… because Ho Sung Lee looked relaxed as if he wasn’t surprised at all.

Despite having seen what kind of fight the two men were having in the gym with her own eyes, Ji Yoo Kim still couldn’t believe it.

“I’d better evacuate the citizens nearby just in case,” said Ji Yoo Kim.

“Then I’ll…”

“Please stay here and call me if things get worse.”

“Sure.”

Ji Yoo Kim hurriedly took off on her bike.

Once she became distant, Ho Sung Lee looked back at the gym building. He put out his cigarette and clicked his tongue.

Seeing how it was taking longer than usual, the player from Beatrice must have been quite powerful.

But Min Sung Kang had defeated a low-ranking god.

Ho Sung Lee felt at ease with the thought that there was no way he was going to lose.

***

He should have ended it once and for all as soon as he was hurt, but his opponent acted as if he had all the time and energy in the world.

And as a result, he had to pay a severe price.

He would regret it in his afterlife that he didn’t give it his all against one of the most skillful players in Beatrice.

He had already known that he obtained items from the low-ranking god and cut down the Beatrice tree.

He already knew he was that capable before coming down to look for him.

Repone jolted his eyes wide open and used one of his skills in order to hit him with a hard one.

The 7 blades wriggled as if it was dancing, and along with the noises that resulted, an Aura in the form of dozens of sparks charged toward Min Sung.

The Aura fell upon Min Sung without giving him a chance to dodge them.

It would be a fatal blow.

Repone stared at Min Sung with much anticipation.

At that moment…

Min Sung’s eyes jolted wide open, and he clenched his teeth as he stabbed his Gungnir S into the ground.

Thud!

Boommmmmmmmmmm!

As soon as Min Sung’s Gungnir S stabbed into the ground, his magic energy shot up like a water explosion.

As for the sparks of Aura that Repone launched through his skill, Min Sung’s magic energy swallowed it whole like a whale.

And after that, his magic energy spread in all directions like a wave.

And Repone was unable to free himself from being hit by the wave.

The scope of the magic energy was much beyond that of Repone’s Aura, and as a result of the incredible speed, he was unable to find a place to hide.

Repone was engulfed by the magic energy, and the gym exploded like smashed crackers.

While the building itself exploded in all directions, Repone laid on the ground while spitting up blood.

Min Sung walked toward Repone, and Ho Sung Lee, who stood outside the building, took turns looking at Min Sung and Repone on the ground.

Min Sung looked down at Repone and waited for him to get up.

Upon Min Sung’s gaze, Repone ground his teeth.

He thought the game was over, but he was mistaken.

He thought he let his guard down, but that was because he was that capable.

He was a monster, and he had no idea what his limits were.

That was his opponent.

Repone wriggled and breathed heavily while looking at Min Sung.

He was bleeding here and there, but none of the wounds were deep.

The scratches were so small that he couldn’t even consider it a hit.

Repone scanned around him.

Aside from the destroyed gym, not much harm was done.

‘No way…’

Did he control his power so that he wouldn’t harm any of the surrounding areas?

That ability made his body feel dejected, but that didn’t mean he was ready to give up.

If he was going to give up that easily, he never would’ve picked up his sword, to begin with.

He would give it all that he got.

Dragging on time was nothing more than signs of defeat.

Repone gathered his Aura and charged toward him with the intent to pour it upon him.

“You’re slow.”

‘… What?’

He thought he heard wrong.

‘I’m slow?’

‘Me?’

But he abandoned his contemplation and focused in order to attack using all of his magic energy.

His sword split into 7 blades and attacked, but Min Sung swiftly dodged it and stared right at him.

He then felt it.

That he was simply measuring his abilities.

‘How does that make sense?’

He was a high-ranking player of Beatrice!

“Reveal your true self.”

Min Sung gathered his magic energy in his left hand that wasn’t holding the sword and after building up the tension, he swung his Gungnir S.

Repone quickly bent his waist, but the gold sword slashed through Repone’s side.

If he was just a little bit slower, it would have passed through his abdomen.

Repone grabbed onto his side and stepped back while glaring at Min Sung.

He didn’t seem like he had the will to attack.

There was a huge difference between attacking to kill and attacking just for the hell of it.

This current situation was also proof that there was a huge difference between him and his opponent.

Also…

“How did you know I’ve been hiding my true self?” Repone asked Min Sung.

“Since I first saw you.”

“…”

Repone laughed as he looked at Min Sung.

“You’re incredible.”

Repone laughed tiredly and threw his sword onto the ground.

The sword made a large clanging sound.

Repone, who was staring down at his own sword, looked up at Min Sung and opened his mouth.

“If I unleash my true self, you won’t be able to handle it. Why aren’t you trying to kill me? Do you really want me as your subordinate? You should know that that comes with huge risks.”

“Stop your blabber and show yourself. I shall make you surrender.”

Kaboom!

Min Sung’s Gungnir S made a thundering noise.

Repone laughed bitterly and slowly looked up.

He looked at the dark sky and sighed.

“Who would’ve thought I’d reveal my true self here? But then again… the Dionysus Gods didn’t send me here for no reason.”

Repone looked back at Min Sung with flaming eyes.

Repone’s body then began to grow larger.

His hair disappeared, the scales on his skin became bigger and thicker, and wings began to form on his back.

He grew without stop.

His body was continuing to become gigantic.

And that process soon sped up and was completed in an instant.

Once he established his full form, Ho Sung Lee, who was watching not too far from Min Sung, looked up at Repone as if he was about to faint.
