nChapter 103: Episode 103

nThe ends of Ethan’s hands shook like crazy, and it became harder for him to breathe properly.

nWith a bright red face, Ethan attempted to breathe.

nHe stared back at Min Sung, but his eyes slowly went down.

n“I-I’m sorry.”

nIn response, Min Sung hit Ethan on the shoulder and passed him.

n

n

nAlthough it was just a shoulder bump, Ethan’s face turned pale.

n“Master, are you all right?”

nHis underling worried about Ethan’s well-being.

nWhile Min Sung walked toward the tower, hundreds of hunters split up.

nEthan watched Min Sung walk toward the tower as he gulped.

n“Have the investigative team follow the Korean hunters and confirm their identities.”

n***

nJi Yoo Kim tried to follow Min Sung to the Black Tower, but Min Sung refused.

n“Stop acting like a little kid. You’ll just get in the way.”

nIn response, Ji Yoo Kim stayed silent and dropped her head.

n

n

nHo Sung Lee was impressed by Min Sung.

nA hunter dominating the entire world.

nHe made Ethan surrender with just a gaze.

nHo Sung Lee laughed bitterly.

n‘But then again… he’s the guy who cleared the Black Tower all by himself.’

nHo Sung Lee clicked his tongue and followed Min Sung.

nWould they be able to come out of the tower alive?

nUnlike Ji Yoo Kim, who wanted to go, Ho Sung Lee worried about his death.

n***

nAs for the captain of the investigative team, it was Mike, who first searched the tower in the beginning.

n

n

nSince most of the American hunters had died, they needed help from other countries.

nCaptain Mike took the volunteer hunters and got in the boat headed back to the tower.

nOn the boat, Mike looked at Min Sung Kang and Ho Sung Lee in front of him and showed an expressed look on his face.

n“Why is the boat completely fine?”

nHe looked at the boat that Min Sung and Ho Sung Lee were in and looked confused.

nThe waves became rougher as they got closer to the tower.

nBut strangely, the boat that Min Sung and Ho Sung Lee were in proceeded peacefully without any shaking.

nThey had already passed the point where they should have abandoned their boats.

nBut theirs was just fine.

nOn the other hand, the investigation team’s boat shook like a Viking’s.

n

n

n“This is the place. Abandon the boat,” Mike ordered.

nThe hunters looked at Min Sung and Ho Sung Lee’s boat and then dove into the ocean.

nIn the meantime, Min Sung and Ho Sung Lee were already entering the tower.

nWhile the investigation team swam, they stared at Min Sung and Ho Sung Lee blankly.

n***

nSince they had to swim, the hunters of other countries arrived much later than Min Sung and Ho Sung Lee.

nFor that reason, when they arrived at the first floor, they couldn’t find Min Sung or Ho Sung Lee.

nThey had already strayed too far.

nSince the 10 investigators had already experienced the horror of the tower, they cautiously conducted their investigation.

nEach step they took was filled with fear.

n

n

nEvery time they took a step, they saw the bodies of a hunter.

nThe investigation team mustered up their courage and kept going.

nBut no matter how much they searched, they didn’t see the monster.

nThe 1st floor was empty.

nAnd as soon as they discovered that the entrance to the 2nd floor was empty, they felt a shiver up their spine.

n“The door to the 2nd floor is really open…”

nMike looked at the entrance and gulped.

n“Did they go upstairs through this entrance?”

nHe looked back at the other members and then went up to the 2nd floor together.

nAnd as soon as they saw the sight, their faces turned pale.

nThe reason why they were shocked was because they saw a dead monster.

nThe remains were still there.

nThe walls and floors were covered in the monster’s blood, and all sorts of body parts were scattered everywhere.

nJust the thought of this being the result of that man’s doing made their heads feel dizzy.

nThe hunter holding a camera filmed every single thing.

nMike looked at a place that Min Sung would have passed.

nHe looked behind him.

nHe heard the voices of the underlings he left behind.

nHe closed his eyes with a frown.

n***

nThud, thud, thud, thud, thud.

nThud, thud, thud, thud!

nThud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!

nThe floors shook like crazy.

nAnd then dozens of devils appeared from the dark hallway.

n“Gasp!”

n“Gasp!”

nBoth Ho Sung Lee and Bowl gasped at each other.

n“Finally.”

nMin Sung looked at the devils and opened his eyes wide.

nMin Sung lifted his Orichalcum Sword.

nSwooshhhhhh!

nAlong with the sound of the thunder, a white light came out of it.

nThe magic bent out of shape and wriggled as if it discovered its nature.

nIn response, Ho Sung Lee and Bowl were unable to breathe properly.

nIn the meantime, they charged toward Min Sung as if they were given an order.

nThe light from the Orichalcum Sword hit the devils while the dark magic of the devils poured upon Min Sung.

nBangggggg, bangggggg!

nThe tower shook along with the sound of dynamite exploding.

nMeanwhile, Ho Sung Lee and Bowl cowered and waited for the battle to end.

n***

n“… What was that sound?”

nIn response to the loud sound, the hunters looked up and paused.

nThe sound stopped for a while and then a stronger sound penetrated through the wall.

n“I think the fight has begun,” one underling said.

nMike gulped at the sound he heard from above.

nThe members looked at him and waited for his response.

n“Shall we go up?”

nOne of the underlings asked Mike.

nMike continued to look up and knitted his brows.

n“Our duty is to check if he really cleared the floors. Find the stairs to the 3rd floor. I’m sure the 2nd floor is cleared just like the 1st floor. We need to get up to the 3rd floor as soon as possible!”

nCaptain Mike shouted at his team.

nIn response to the command, the members split up.

n***

nThe devil opened his mouth.

nAnd from his mouth poured out smoke.

nA black spoke that was capable of melting human flesh.

nMin Sung went through that smoke and stabbed the devil with his Orchalcum Sword.

nSlash!

nAs soon as he slashed him in the head, the devil’s head exploded.

nMin Sung proceeded to his next devil target.

nThe Orichalcum Sword showed off more light, and that light cut the devil’s body in two.

nIts blood poured all over the floor.

nMin Sung stared at the devils with zombie-like eyes and hit the Orichalcum Sword on the ground.

nCrackkkkkk!

nAs the floor cracked, the magic flowed to the devils and shot them like arrows.

nThe magic light went right through the devils’ heads and bodies.

nAs a result, the other devils stopped in their tracks and backed off.

n***

n“… W-what’s going on here?”

nMike’s lips trembled at the sight of the 3rd floor.

nSame went for the shocked hunters.

nOnce they saw the amount of blood on the 3rd floor, they were at a loss for words.

nThey weren’t sure if this was reality or a dream.

nThe hunters felt oppressed in the blood-filled place.

n“Shouldn’t we go back?”

nThe vice-captain of the investigation team asked.

nIn response, Mike went into deep thought and then shook his head.

n“We have to finish checking. We have yet to fully confirm if those two men really cleared the tower. Let’s go.”

nIn response, the hunters followed him with nervous looks on their faces.

n***

nThey thought they could catch up to them since they were probably in the middle of battle.

nBut they were unable to find the two hunters.

nHowever, they were able to clearly hear a fight going on.

nThe investigation team slowly traced that sound.

nBut they didn’t rush.

nAfter all, if a monster happened to pop out, they were as good as dead.

nThey were more careful than ever before.

nAnd after around 10 minutes, the team was able to spot Min Sung Kang and Ho Sung Lee.

nAs soon as they spotted them, they froze in place.

nAlthough they were seeing it with their own eyes, they couldn’t believe it.

nAll the hunters almost got killed because of one devil.

nBut the man in front of them fought the devils… killed them, or more like annihilated them.

n“Roarrrrrrrrr!”

nThe devils screeched as they died.

nJust the sound of it gave them goosebumps.

nThe sight of Min Sung pulling out a sword and moving at high speed to strike every single devil was a spectacle.

nThe hunters looked on as if it was a dream with their jaws dropped.

nThey were at a loss for words.

nThe way he ripped out their hearts, made them explode and cut the devils as if they were tofu made it hard to believe he was human.

nThe investigation team knew just how strong the devils were.

nFor that reason, they shivered at Min Sung Kang’s power.

n***

nMin Sung took out a towel from his item window and wiped off the blood.

nThe smell of devil blood was strong and prudent.

nAnd it was sticky as well.

nIn the Demonic Realm, he had no time to wipe off the blood, so this made him realize that he really was back in the human world.

nHe threw away his bloody towel and looked behind him.

nThere were around 10 foreigners staring blankly at him.

nAmong them were Ho Sung Lee and Bowl.

nWhen Min Sung glared at them, Ho Sung Lee and Min Sung ran over. They picked up the items, and Bowl ran back into his pocket.

nMin Sung glanced at the hunters for just a moment and then proceeded to walk forward.
