nChapter 100: Episode 100

nMin Sung continued walking.

nIt was similar to when he kept walking in the white space in his dream.

nCome to think of it, what was that dream about?

nThe dream was vivid as if it was real.

nAnd who was the person that walked toward him in his dream?

n

n

nIt bothered him too much for him to consider it to be just an ordinary dream.

nMin Sung knitted his brows and then erased his thoughts.

nHe couldn’t have found the answer even if he tried.

nHe walked leisurely with his hands in his pocket as if he was in a museum, but the tower was covered with the devils’ disgusting hobbies.

nThe walls were covered with drawings of devils.

nThere was even a statue of a devil.

nMin Sung kicked that statue down with his feet.

nAs a result, it shattered to pieces in front of Min Sung.

nHo Sung Lee looked pale as he watched on.

n“W-why are you doing that?”

n

n

nHo Sung asked him in fear.

n“I don’t like the sight of it.”

nMin Sung intensified his senses in order to find the devil again.

nAt that moment, something caught his attention.

nHe felt something coming toward him using the spider web he set up.

nAs soon as Min Sung stopped in his tracks, Ho Sung Lee looked around in confusion.

nAnd then a minute later.

nSwoosh!

nThe devil appeared with a sound that resembled paper being ripped.

n“Gasp!”

n

n

nHo Sung Lee covered his mouth and walked backward.

nHe had met a devil before.

nHe was even kidnapped and interrogated.

nDue to that trauma, Ho Sung Lee was unable to move.

nHe felt like he was going to pee his pants.

nThat was how terrifying the sight of the devil was to Ho Sung Lee.

nHe was so frozen still that he couldn’t even hide behind Min Sung’s back.

nOn the other hand, Min Sung quietly took out his Orichalcum Sword from his item window.

nThanks to the light inside the tower, the Orichalcum Sword sparkled.

n“Let me ask you. Are you Black Slaughterer?”

n

n

nDevil Borderer questioned Min Sung.

n“Yeah,” Min Sung answered honestly.

nHe figured, but as soon as it was confirmed, Devil Borderer’s pupils shook intensely.

nWith the legendary Black Slaughterer in front of him, he had a hard time breathing.

n“If you’re done asking questions-”

n“Black Slaughterer.”

n“…?”

nDevil Borderer kneeled in front of Min Sung and lowered his head.

n“I’ll do as you wish, Black Borderer. If you want to go to the second floor, I’ll open the door for you.”

n***

n

n

nIn response, Ho Sung Lee gulped.

nThe top hunters from all around the world entered the first floor, but many of them lost their lives.

nAnd the one who killed them was Devil Borderer that was in front of him.

nBut for some reason, that strong monster kneeled in front of Min Sung.

nJust because of Min Sung Kang’s reputation alone, he offered to open the doors.

nThat was when he realized just how impressive a figure Min Sung Kang was.

nMin Sung Kang was that kind of man.

n‘… This is crazy.’

nAt that moment.

nHo Sung Lee thought about stealing his money and running away to a foreign country and thinking that made him want to kill himself.

n***

nJi Yoo Kim looked troubled as she looked at the tower.

nShe heard that Ho Sung Lee and another man went to the tower.

n‘It was probably Min Sung Kang.’

n‘Will they be okay…?’

nShe couldn’t help but feel worried.

nThe Black Tower.

nShe witnessed herself just how dangerous that place was.

n“Min Sung…”

nJi Yoo Kim looked at the tower and mumbled to herself.

nShe had many things she wanted to ask.

nJi Yoo Kim closed her eyes and prayed that they return safely.

n***

n“You’re going to escort me to the second floor?”

nMin Sung looked down at Devil Borderer with cold eyes.

n“That’s right. Please show me some mercy, Black Slaughterer.”

n“Okay. Lead the way.”

nIn response, Devil Borderer immediately got up and started walking.

nMin Sung stuck right behind Devil Borderer’s back.

n“If you try anything, I’ll kill you cell by cell.”

nIn response, Devil Borderer looked back at Min Sung and shook in fear.

n“O-of course. I wouldn’t dare disrespect you like that.”

nMin Sung smiled.

n“I know what you’re like.”

nIn response, Devil Borderer looked ahead and started walking.

nIn pain from having Black Slaughterer right behind him, he led the way with a scared look on his face.

n***

nThey walked for quite a while with Devil Borderer’s lead.

nAt the end of a long hallway, Min Sung arrived at a set of stairs.

n“These are the stairs to the 2nd floor,” Devil Borderer explained with a trembling voice.

nMin Sung looked up at the stairs.

nThe stairs were quite long and high.

nThey were so high that the top of it was dark as the night sky.

nAs soon as he lowered his gaze, he saw the entrance to the stairs.

n“Let me open it for you.”

nDevil Borderer reached in to grab his keys to the 2nd floor.

nThe keys had the magic language engraved into it.

nAs soon as he turned the key.

nBangggggg!

nThe door to the stairs opened with the sound of glass shattering.

nMin Sung stared at Devil Borderer.

nIn response, Devil Borderer showed an anxious look on his face.

n“You can go up now, Black Slaughterer.”

nHe smiled awkwardly.

n“Why did you make this anyway?”

n“Pardon?”

n“The Black Tower. Why did you make this and come into this world? It’s so annoying.”

n“I-I don’t know anything about it. I’m simply a puppet stationed at this tower.”

n“You don’t’ know anything?”

nMin Sung questioned back.

n“Y-yes, Sir.”

nMin Sung smiled.

nDevil Borderer felt shivers after seeing that smile.

nHe stumbled backward.

n“Please let me live. I’m really just a puppet. I don’t have anything for you. Really!”

n“Lies.”

nMin Sung spoke in a low face and stared at Devil Borderer with a straight face.

n“G-gasp!”

nDevil Borderer attempted to disappear with the sound of paper cutting, but Min Sung grabbed him by the throat and pushed him against the wall.

nBangggggg!

nAs the wall with drawings of devils shattered, he lost excessive blood in Min Sung’s hands.

nWhen he tightened his grip around his neck, his entire body trembled.

nHis red eyes swelled up and shed tears of blood.

n“P-please don’t kill me. Ugh! Please… I really don’t…”

n“I don’t care if you’re lying or telling the truth. You’re going to die anyway.”

n“Y-you damned human…!”

nMin Sung slowly took out his Orichalcum Sword from his item window.

nSwish!

nDevil Borderer cried as he saw Min Sung pull out the Orichalcum Sword.

n“Cough! Ugh! Ughhhhhh. I opened the door…”

nMin Sung stabbed him in the heart.

nSlash!

nSwoosh!

nBang, Bangggggg!

nMagic came out of the Orichalcum Sword and burned Borderer’s body.

nAghhhhhh!”

nDevil Borderer screamed as his body melted into bloody water.

nAs his body melted like slime and disappeared, he dropped his item.

nMin Sung put the two good items and one small item in his window and looked back at Ho Sung Lee.

n“Give me something to wipe this with.”

nHo Sung Lee came to his senses and brought him a towel.

n“Why are you trembling?”

nMin Sung frowned at Ho Sung Lee’s shaking hands.

n“Sir, I guess you don’t know this, but you’re really scary. You’re normally scary, but when you fight, it gets hard for me to breathe.”

nMin Sung laughed as he wiped off the blood from his body and sword and handed the towel back to Ho Sung Lee.

nHe then proceeded to go up the stairs to the 2nd floor.

n***

nThey finally arrived at the 2nd floor of Black Tower.

nThis floor also had wall murals like the 1st floor.

nThe 1st floor showcased the holy images of devils while this floor showed off the devils’ horrible hobbies.

nPictures of devils killing and torturing humans were all over the walls and ceiling.

nHo Sung Lee appeared uncomfortable at the murals.

n“Sir… Are you from this kind of world?”

n“Don’t remind me. This is already bad enough.”

nMin Sung threw Bowl onto the floor.

nBowl spun around in a circle and stood up with perfect posture.

nMin Sung looked at Bowl in surprise and then looked elsewhere.

n“Things will get annoying from now on, so you guys will need to level up. Get ready to earn some experience points.”

nIn response, Ho Sung Lee gasped and danced with his fists clenched.

n“Focus.”

nHo Sung Lee and Bowl stopped their celebration and stood up straight.

n“But Sir. Will our attacks work on the devil?”

n“Do you expect me to feed the devil to you?”

nMin Sung looked at Ho Sung Lee with cold eyes.

n“N-no, Sir. I’ll do the damage.”

nHo Sung sweated buckets.

nOn the other hand, Bowel snickered.

nHo Sung Lee looked at Bowl scornfully, but Bowl didn’t care and stuck right by Min Sung’s side.

nHo Sung Lee also followed Min Sung while giving strength to his core.

n***

n“The lights turned on on the 2nd floor.”

nIn response, the hunters at the assembly looked at the tower in shock.

nThe assembly soon bustled with noise.

nThe lights that were only on on the 1st floor were now on on the 2nd floor as well.

nThe hunters were fascinated.

nIt hadn’t been long since the two men entered the tower.

nAnd now, the lights were on on the second floor.

n‘Did they clear the floor?’ They wondered this, but they figured it was ridiculous.

nThe top hunters from all around the world went in and got annihilated.

nSo how could two men go in there and clear the 1st floor and enter the 2nd?

nThe hunters assumed that the two hunters died and that the 2nd floor’s lights turned on automatically.

nAs the hunters grew more anxious, their confidence lowered.

nThe terror in the tower still remained as a trauma and continued to mentally harass them.

nThey were hopeless.

nUnless a miracle happened, mankind’s future seemed bleak.
