nChapter 144: Chapter 144

n“It will start soon.”

nMin Sung looked ahead of him and continued,

n“I’ll go first and get through the devils, so I can get to Shaman. While I take care of the rest of the devils afterward, eat Shaman.”

nHe then took out his Orichalchum Sword and walked forward.

nHo Sung Lee felt weighed down as he watched his spirit.

n

n

nHe felt like the air was being compressed.

nHe felt frustrated and pressured.

nThis was all due to Min Sung’s existence.

nRoarrrr

nAt that moment, the tower began ringing.

nThe devils were coming.

nThe sound was dark and sloppy.

nIt was a familiar sound.

nMin Sung accepted what he sensed with a cold look on his face and kept walking forward.

nHe sped up.

n

n

nAnd then the devils poured out from the darkness.

nMin Sung unleashed his demonic powers.

nAs a result, the devils disappeared, and a path cleared up.

nMin Sung ignored the rest of the devils and ran through the path at a high speed.

nHe had to find Shaman and kill him first.

nIf not, a war could break out.

nEven if he had to turn his backs on the low-level devils, he had to find Shaman and defeat him first.

nMin Sung dodged the pouncing devils and continued through the open space.

nMin Sung and the devils were differentiated like water and oil.

nMeanwhile, Min Sung spotted Shaman.

n

n

nA devil with words tattooed all over his body.

nHe was Shaman.

nMin Sung pounced Shaman as if he was a wild animal going after his prey.

nAfter noticing Min Sung running over, Shaman raised his cane.

nThe words tattooed on his body lit up and a strong force exuded from his cane.

nA strong light that was blinding appeared.

nDemons appeared from that light and flew toward Min Sung.

nSwoosh!

nHowever, Min Sung simply laughed at Shaman’s charm abilities.

nShaman’s main ability wasn’t attack power.

n

n

nHe specialized in minor techniques such as restraint and slowdown.

nOf course, there was a time when those abilities were scary, but that was all in the past.

nOn top of that, the fact that Shaman couldn’t control his distance very well meant that he was simply Min Sung’s prey.

nMin Sung slew the dark demons and got closer to Shaman, and after hitting the ground with his Orichalcum Sword and flying up in the air, he stabbed Shaman in the forehead.

nThe Orichalcum Sword flashed with white light before its dark power exploded.

nBoommmm!!

nHalf of Shaman’s body melted into liquid onto the ground.

nWhen Min Sung took out his Orichalcum Sword.

nThe devils pounced at Min Sung from all four directions.

nBut the result was the same.

n

n

nThe devils exploded with blood splattering everywhere.

nAnd as instructed, Ho Sung Lee and Bowl ran over to Shaman and Ssol picked up the items at high speed with a bright smile on his face.

nAnd as for Min Sung.

nHe fought the rest of the devils.

n***

n“He might reincarnate at this rate! Get it together, Bowl! I thought you were going to make a special devil into the undead!”

nHo Sung Lee desperately yelled.

nBowl tried his best to turn Shaman into the undead, but it was easier said than done.

nIt took a long time.

nMeanwhile, the other devils went extinct due to Min Sung’s Orichalcum Sword.

nMin Sung then returned to Bowl and Ho Sung Lee as if he finished a boring day at work.

nAs soon as he did, he stabbed Shaman in the back with his Orichalcum Sword.

nSlash!

nWhen the Orichalcum Sword went through his skin, Shaman trembled and shrieked.

nAghhhhhh!

nThe sound of his screaming was dreadful, but then it grew quiet.

nAfter seeing this, Bowl’s eyes went into flames.

nDark smoke then attempted to absorb into Shaman’s skin cells.

nBut that was similar to a needle attempting to go through thick fabric, and it felt as though his stamina was attacking a monster that continued to recover in stamina.

nIt was that difficult to turn Shaman into the undead, but Bowl didn’t give up.

nAnd that effort paid off.

nWords popped up in front of Min Sung’s face.

nYour Lich Doll, Bowl, successfully turned ‘Shaman Devil’ into the undead.

nShaman began the process of reincarnation.

nHis dying body started standing up again.

nA moment later, the complete form of Shaman stood in front of Bowl with full obedience.

nBowl’s eyes lit up with excitement as he ran around, and Ssol walked over to the Shaman devil and smiled at it in awe.

nHo Sung Lee sighed deeply following the hard battle.

nOn the other hand, Min Sung quietly prepared to execute his next steps.

n***

n“Let’s eat a hotdog,” Min Sung said in front of the stairs to the 16th floor.

n“Since I’m not hungry, I think we should just have a snack before we go up.”

nHo Sung Lee nodded and called over Ssol.

n“Hey, Ssol. Come here.”

n“…”

nHowever, Ssol continued to look at the murals on the walls and ignored Ho Sung Lee.

n“Hey, Ssol! I said, come here!”

nSsol continued to ignore him.

n“I think you need to call him, Sir.”

nHo Sung Lee sighed and turned toward Min Sung.

n“Ssol.”

nAs soon as Min Sung called him, Ssol turned around with a smile on his face and skipped over.

n“Take out the hotdogs from the freezer.”

n“Hotdogs?”

nIn response to Min Sung’s command, Ssol tilted his head in confusion.

nSo Ho Sung Lee explained what a hotdog was.

nSsol went through his pocket and took out a food item.

n“No, that’s frozen dumplings.”

nSsol took out something else.

n“No, not that.”

nSo Ssol took out something else.

n“That’s a cucumber. It’s thicker than that… Hey, that’s a zucchini!”

nAt that moment, Ssol began crying.

nWhen Ssol cried silently with his mouth open while shedding gold tears, Ho Sung Lee sighed in frustration and scratched his head.

n“Hey, why are you crying again…?”

nHo Sung Lee patted Ssol on the shoulder.

nMeanwhile, Bowl was busy picking up the gold tears from the floor.

n“Are you serious?”

nHo Sung Lee looked down at Bowl and asked.

n“Hurry up and find it,” Min Sung Lee said in annoyance.

nSo Ho Sung Lee hurried to comfort Ssol and then began looking for the hotdog again.

nA moment later, they finally found the hotdogs that Min Sung wanted.

n“Yeah, that’s the one!”

nWhen Ho Sung Lee gave him a thumbs up, Ssol smiled as if nothing had happened.

nHo Sung Lee then ran over to Min Sung with the hotdogs.

nMin Sung took out one hotdog from the plastic wrapper.

nHe then used his magical power to cook it appropriately.

nThe hotdog, which was covered with white magic, began cooking in the heat.

nMin Sung squeezed ketchup on the warm hotdog.

nMin Sung found the look of the red ketchup quite pleasant as he went on to take a bite.

nOm nom.

nHe tasted the warm bread first, and after that, he tasted the hot sausage within.

nAnd the ketchup on top intensified the flavors.

nIt was a delicious snack.

nWhen looking back on his childhood, it was a messy way to eat, but there was a time when he ate the bread and then left the sausage for last.

nMin Sung looked back on his memories as he enjoyed his hotdog.

nThe combination of the sweet ketchup, the soft bread, and the sausage made for a fantastic harmony.

n‘It’s delicious.’

nOnce he finished half of the hotdog, Min Sung felt a gaze upon him.

nHo Sung Lee was staring with his mouth open.

nHe then realized what he was doing and quickly looked away.

n“Ho Sung.”

n‘Yes, Sir.”

nHo Sung Lee immediately turned toward Min Sung.

n“Eat it.”

nMin Sung threw him the bag with hotdogs in it.

nHo Sung Lee caught the bag as if he had been waiting and took one out and gave it to Bowl.

n“Hey, Bowl. Cook this,” Ho Sung Lee said with anticipation.

n“No.”

nBut Bowl ignored Ho Sung Lee and made accessories out of the gold tears he picked up.

n“Hey, come on. Cook one for me.”

n“No.”

nBowl put the completed gold necklace around his neck and shook his butt back and forth.

n“Oh, our great Lich doll, I respectfully ask that you cook a hotdog for me.”

nHo Sung Lee closed his eyes and pushed the hot dog at him with sincerity.

nIn response, Bowl snickered and flicked his bone finger.

nAt that moment, a dark fire passed through the hotdog.

n“Oh! Thank you!”

nHo Sung Lee smiled at the cooked hotdog. He squeezed ketchup on top and took a bite.

nCrunch!

nThe hotdog was so well-done that his teeth almost went out.

n“You damned skeleton!”

nHo Sung Lee threw his hard hot dog at Bowl.

nIn response, Bowl snickered and ran away from Ho Sung Lee on his shadow board.

nHo Sung was sad that he was unable to enjoy a hotdog.

n***

nThe difficulty levels of each floor were different.

nIt was like a labyrinth in that there were floors that were easy to clear as well as difficult situations where special devils appeared.

nHowever, Min Sung was more comfortable with this.

nThis allowed him to clear the tower faster.

nSince they entered the Black Tower with food ingredients ready, he wanted to kill the devils as fast as possible and return to his normal life.

nAnd it seemed like that was possible.

nHe had Ssol, who could store away an infinite number of items, and Ho Sung Lee and Bowl were growing at a fast pace.

nThe only annoying part was that the tower was too high.

n
