Chapter 5 - Breaking the Record

Hell and Kitato descended to the lower dungeons and killed all the kings there until they reached cell number 50, where the Minotaur was. A screen appeared showing:

Strength: 5000

Magic: 5000

Speed: 5000

Mana: 5000

HP: 5000

Summoning Hell Knight: Available, Rank S

Teleportation: Not available now (every second)

Invisibility: Available

Class: Hell King

Kitato said, "Sir, you are Rank S. Your power is formidable, but you haven't reached your peak yet." Hell replied, "Let's defeat the Minotaur. The plan is as follows: I will conceal our presence, and you prepare yourself to defeat him with one blow." They entered the Minotaur's cell. Hell said, "His power is formidable." He approached him and activated the Hell Chains. The Minotaur was bound and called out to Kitato, saying, "Now!"

But the Minotaur had already broken free and struck Kitato. With his hammer, it flew away. Hell, enraged, drew his dagger and leaped onto the Minotaur's back to stab him, but the Minotaur blocked the blow, grabbed Hell's leg, and slammed him to the ground repeatedly until he lost consciousness. Kitato launched an attack on the Minotaur, suddenly lifting Hell and carrying him out of the Minotaur's dungeon, realizing the fight was lost. Hell awoke to find himself in a room, wondering, "Where am I? Was it a dream?"

He stepped out of the room, and Kitato greeted him, "You're finally awake!" Hell asked, "How many days have I been asleep? And where are we?" Kitato replied, "Almost three days. We are now in your palace, my lord." Hell exclaimed, "My palace?! Weren't we fighting the Minotaur in his dungeon three days ago?!" Kitato responded, "Let me explain something!" When you lost consciousness, I carried you out of the Minotaur's dungeon, then I opened the summoning gate and we entered. Heel said, "Does that mean this palace is inside the gate?!" Kitato replied, "Yes! And since you're no match for the Minotaur right now, let me teach you something!" Heel asked, "What do you want me to know, Kitato?!" She told him, "Follow me."

As they descended to the bottom of the palace, they saw the throne room, and to the right was a long, black sword. She said to him, "Do you see that hellish sword?!" "It's yours. You're the only one who can get it out of the ground," she told him. "Try it, sir." So he grabbed it and pulled it out of the ground. A new feature appeared on the screen:

Electric Current: Paralyzes enemy attacks for 5 seconds.

If he touched his opponent, he would completely immobilize them for five seconds. Hel said to her, "I feel stronger. Let's try fighting him now." They returned to the dungeons by exiting through the Hellgate, which returned them to their last known location.

Hell asked, "Are you alright, Kitato?" She replied, "Yes." He told her, "This monster is too strong to face. I must fight him from a distance with magic until he tires, then we'll finish him off with a single blow. We must take advantage of this new ability that paralyzes attacks." They entered the Minotaur's dungeon, and Hell's expression was different from the last time they fought. Hell performed several powerful magic spells on the Minotaur, who then became agitated and began to scream. The Minotaur approached Hell to fight him at close range, but Hell understood the Minotaur's strength and moved away, striking him with more magic orbs until the Minotaur was exhausted. Hell said, "Now, Kitato!"

He used his electric current technique and paralyzed the Minotaur's attack. Kitato rushed forward and struck him several times with her sword. Then it was Hell's turn. He leaped at the Minotaur and struck him with a single blow, severing his head. A screen appeared:

Class: Hell King

Speed: 7000

Magic: 7000

Mana: 7000

Strength: 7000

HP: 7000

Then, a Minotaur horn appeared as a prize. Hel said, "Strange this time. Not magic stones, but a horn. It might be valuable since it's the Vargacia City record. That's enough for today. Rest, Kitato. I'm going out of the dungeons."

Hel left and headed towards the Adventurers Guild. Upon arriving, he placed the Minotaur horn on Liana's table. Liana exclaimed, "What! The Minotaur's horn?! Don't tell me you defeated him?!"

She said, "Let me see it!"

She examined it and checked its specifications, then said, "This is it."

"So you killed him?" Hel replied, "Yes." Liana said, "You are now Rank S. Congratulations! This is your new card. We no longer need to measure your strength, and you've become rich!" Everyone in the guild was astonished! They wondered, "Is this summoner really stronger than the Donjon Up squad?!"

Soon, all the adventurers were talking about the adventurer who had broken the record and killed the Minotaur, until the word reached King Vargos.

King Vargos said to his advisor, Philip, "I want you to send an invitation to this boy so I can honor him and meet him." Philip suggested that he come to the king's palace at 8:00 PM that night.

Hill, in his room at the adventurers' hotel, thought to himself, "I'm really excited and proud to be famous in the kingdom, but it also keeps me hidden in my room. Even the king himself has sent me an invitation to his palace!" At 8:00 PM, Hill entered King Vargos' palace, and everyone fell silent upon seeing him. Among those attending the ceremony was the Donjon Up squad. Rubel said to him, "Impossible! You killed the Minotaur?! Who are you?!" Hill replied to Rubel, "That was easy!"

Klaus, the squad's healer, stepped forward and asked Hill to join their team. Hill replied, "No thanks!" I'm comfortable fighting alone, so King Vargos said, "Silence! Today we discovered an adventurer who became a hero of the kingdom. He broke the record for dungeons and killed the Minotaur. His name is Hel. So, let's drink to this discovery!"

And everyone cheered his name, saying, "We are proud of you, Hel!"

Hel had never felt such love or tasted such joy before. The king said to him, "We will reward your deed with gold." Hel replied, "I am financially well-off. May I ask you for a favor?" The king said, "I am here to hear it." Hel asked, "Is there a way to return to the original world? Has anyone ever returned before?"

The king answered, "Everyone in this world lives better than in their original world, and they have no plans to return." The king asked him, "Do you want to return, Hel?"

Hel replied, "Oh, if only my family could see what I am like today!"
