n“Ugh! Agh! Agh!”

nThe devil used all his might to escape his grasp.

nRipppppp!

nBut as soon as Min Sung’s demonic power wrapped around the devil, the devil’s body trembled greatly, and blood began pouring out.

nThe devil then became fragments of death.

nHo Sung Lee looked at Min Sung and clicked his tongue.

n

n

nIt was only Bowl who was sad at the fact that another devil was gone.

nBoommmmmm!

nThe sound of footsteps shaking the ground got louder and louder.

nMin Sung took out the Orichalcum Sword from his item window as he walked toward where the noise was coming from.

nThe tower was wide.

nFor that reason, even if Min Sung was at the top, if there were many devils, it was likely for Ho Sung Lee and Bowl to be put into great danger.

nAs predicted by their nervousness, thousands of devils appeared.

nDark skin and red eyes.

nTheir horns gave off a threatening vibe.

nThe bat-like creatures couldn’t be counted, and Ho Sung Lee and Bowl were so shocked that they couldn’t move.

n

n

nBut Min Sung was different.

nWhooshhhhhh!

nMin Sung’s Orichalcum Sword was swung toward the devils.

nAghhhhhhhhh!

nThe sound of devils crying rung through the tower.

n***

nThe world hunters at the assembly blankly stared at the tower.

nThe lights were on on the 14th floor.

nTheir faces showed looks of disbelief.

nAs a result, even the 7 hunters of Samchunkyo grew curious about who Min Sung Kang was.

n

n

nWhile everyone kept an eye on the Black Tower in silence.

nWang Wei of Samchunkyo spat on the ground and glared at the Black Tower.

n***

nMin Sung warned that a special devil could appear, but no such devil appeared from the 1st to 5th floor.

nAs a result, they had many opportunities to kill lower-level devils and gain experience points.

n‘… Damn it.’

nHo Sung Lee glared at Bowl nearly in tears with his fists clenched.

nEven this time, Bowl ate all of the devil kills.

n‘That damned Bowl.’

n‘How could he take it all?’

n

n

nHo Sung Lee felt agonized.

nAt this rate, Bowl was going to take everything and go on to live a better life.

nHe couldn’t just let everything be stolen from him.

nBowl had already succeeded in making 5 devils into the undead.

nOnce special devils began to appear, their difference in power was going to be even greater.

nHo Sung Lee sighed as he picked up the items and got back up to follow Min Sung.

n“Sir! Isn’t the item window full? I’m maxed out.”

n“That order sheet that you use for enchants. How many do you have?”

n“I don’t have that much to spare.”

n“Then let’s go back down. We can’t do more than 5 floors at a time, can we?”

n

n

nMin Sung clicked his tongue and continued,

n“I’d better hire someone to carry our items. Because we filled your item window with cooking ingredients, we don’t have enough room. At this rate, we won’t last long. But…”

nHo Sung Lee straightened his back and looked at Min Sung.

n“Yes, Sir. Please continue.”

n“What were you going to say earlier?”

n“Oh, about that… I just feel like Bowl is taking all the kills…”

nAs soon as Ho Sung Lee said that, Bowl came over and kicked him in the ankle.

nHo Sung Lee ignored him and continued,

n“So I was hoping you could share some with me…”

n“You need another beating.”

n“Pardon…”

n“You get more experience points from getting beaten.”

n“T-that’s…!”

n“Once we get back down, fill your item window with potions. I’ll help you. I’ll make you into the Berserker, and once you are…”

n“No, Sir. I like it the way it is. I just need some time to think it through.”

n“Okay.”

nWhile Min Sung went down the stairs, Ho Sung Lee stared into space and smiled.

n***

nWang Wei twisted his body while witting in a chair overlooking the ocean.

nAn itch irritated his entire body.

nThe itch just wouldn’t go away.

nHe really wanted to kill Min Sung Kang’s underlings and fight against Min Sung Kang himself.

nHowever, Heukrangdae was on his tail, so he had to wait for Samchunkyo’s instructions.

nWang Wei looked at the ocean with a look of discontent before sighing out of annoyance and springing up from his chair.

nWang Wei walked toward Heukrangdae, who was keeping watch at the center of the assembly.

n“Hey, any word from our leader?”

n“No,” Heukrangdae replied.

nIn response, Wang Wei brushed his long and thick hair aside and scanned the assembly.

nThe world hunters were either chatting with discontent or blankly killing time.

n“Those useless bastards.”

nWang Wei scoffed.

nMeanwhile, Wang Wei met eyes with one of the world hunters.

nThat hunter didn’t avoid his gaze and kept it fixed.

nThe world hunter seemed dissatisfied.

nThe world hunter did look away, but Wang Wei’s face was already flushed.

nWang Wei walked toward that world hunter.

nThe world hunter from South America showed a stiff face as soon as Wang Wei walked over.

n“Hey,” Wang Wei called.

nThe world hunter appeared uncomfortable, displeased, and nervous all at the same time.

n“I saw you staring at me.”

nThe world hunters around them slowly got up and watched.

nWang Wei grabbed the front hair of the world hunter and shook him.

n“Why were you staring? You seemed pretty pissed. Tell me.”

nIn response, the South American world hunter swallowed his saliva.

n“I’m not pissed.”

n“Then why were you staring?”

nWang Wei’s voice grew louder and louder.

n“N-no reason…”

n“Stop lying.”

nWang Wei looked at the world hunter and smirked.

nOne of the Samchunkyo hunters sighed and walked toward Wang Wei.

n“Wei, that’s enough…”

nAt that moment, Wang Wei took out his sword from his item window and sliced off a hunter’s neck.

nSlash!

nAlong with the neck came a fountain of blood.

nA Samchunkyo hunter, who was on his way to Wang Wei, stopped as soon as he saw that.

n“What’s wrong with him this time?”

nAt that moment, Wang Wei looked at his colleagues while covered in blood and kicked his teeth.

n“Contracts are there just to make things a little easier. But control is something more like this. This is the only way to make scumbags follow along!”

nWang Wei screamed.

nIn response, the Samchunkyo hunters shrugged and smiled.

n“You’re not wrong, but if you kill everyone like this, nothing will be left. If you’re relieved from your stress, then go and get some rest. It’s for the best.”

nWang Wei looked down at the hunter’s body. He spat on it and then proceeded to walk away.

nThe 6 Samchunkyo hunters beside Wang Wei looked on as if they didn’t know how to talk him out of it.

n***

nMin Sung used his demonic power to pull a boat to shore so that he didn’t have to get wet.

nBowl rode on his shadow board and snickered as he surfed across the ocean, and Ho Sung Lee was the only one who had to swim across.

n‘F*ck! Can’t he let me ride the boat with him? I Even cooked!’

nHo Sung Lee cursed in his head as he swam.

nHe was now experienced at swimming, so he was just as fast as a motorboat.

nMeanwhile, Bowl was even doing tricks on his shadow board. He rode the waves and even did spins in the air.

nWatching that made Ho Sung Lee feel as though he was losing motivation.

n‘I wish I had a skill like that.’

n‘The only option he gave me was to get experience points when I get beat up.’

n‘Sigh… Fuck my life.’

nHo Sung Lee expressed his rage as he swam faster and faster.

nSwoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

nSplash, splash!

nHo Sung Lee managed to get ahead of Min Sung’s boat and arrive on land first.

n“Huff! Huff! Huff!”

nHe caught his breath and smiled in victory.

nHe was happy that he beat Min Sung in some way.

nWhether Ho Sung Lee was smiling about it or not, Min Sung leisurely arrived on shore on his boat.

nBowl followed him shortly afterward.

nAs soon as Min Sung appeared, the vibe of the assembly changed.

nThat was the result of the conflict between Min Sung Kang and the 7 Samchunkyo hunters.

n“Hey, Ho Sung.”

n“Yes, Sir,” Ho Sung Lee replied as he squeezed water out of his hair.

n“Who is that?”

n“Pardon? Who?”

n“The one that messed with you after stealing my car,” Min Sung replied as he scanned the assembly.

nHo Sung Lee felt his heart sink.

nHe was afraid of what Min Sung Kang was going to do next.

n“One of the 7 Samchunkyo hunters,” Ho Sung Lee replied with nervousness in his voice.

n‘Is he going to fight?’

nHo Sung Lee’s prediction was correct.

n“Bring him over,” Min Sung remarked as he looked back at Ho Sung Lee.

nHe wasn’t mad or overexcited.

nMin Sung simply looked as though he was going to do what he had to do.

nHo Sung Lee gulped and nodded.

nEven in the tower, he wished that Min Sung Kang would beat that asshole to a pulp, but once that hope became reality, he realized what fear really felt like.

nMessing with Wang Wei was no different from challenging China’s great Samchunkyo to a face-off.

nHe wondered if he really could bring him over, but since it was Min Sung Kang’s order, he had no choice but to follow it.

nSince it was an order, he had to find Wang Wei.

nHo Sung Lee walked amongst the world hunters before he found the Samchunkyo hunters.

nThey were Asian, and thanks to their distinct traits, it was easy to differentiate between them.

nHowever, the one face that he recognized.

nHe didn’t see Wang Wei anywhere.

n‘Where did he go?’

n
