Chapter 106: Episode 106
Ho Sung Lee’s car arrived at the assembly.
On his way to the boat from his car, the hunter who talked to him before stopped him in his tracks.
“I’m busy. Move,” Ho Sung Lee said while waving his hand.
“I just have a few questions.”
“I don’t have time! If you really have to, talk on my way to the tower,” Ho Sung Lee shouted as he got on the boat.
The hunter was shocked, but he looked around and decided to get on the boat with Ho Sung Lee.
Vroom!
The engine started, and they both took off.
***
On the boat, the hunter asked Ho Sung Lee his questions.
“On what floor is he on right now? The 7th floor’s lights are on. Is he really all the way up there?”
In response, Ho Sung Lee nodded.
The hunter gulped.
The 7th floor.
He couldn’t believe that number.
“How did he get all the way up there? What’s his secret? Does he have something special?”
Ho Sung Lee sighed and then looked at the hunter.
“Hey, American Hunter.”
“...”
“There’s no reason. There’s no secret either. Min Sung Kang is just super strong, and that’s how he’s clearing the tower.”
Ho Sung Lee rested his arm on the hunter’s shoulder and continued,
“And let me warn you. Don’t bother him, and let everyone else know that, too. Don’t get in his way or try anything funny. I’m only warning you because of your well-being. Okay? Deliver that message for me.”
The American hunter’s face stiffened as he stared at Ho Sung Lee.
“That Korean hunter, Min Sung Kang. He wasn’t wearing a badge from the Central Institute of Korea. Where is he from?”
“I thought you were an elite. Hey, American hunter.”
“...”
“You all gathered and got destroyed on the first floor. But the man I’m with got up to the 7th floor. So what makes you think he’d work for anyone?”
The American hunter nodded.
“I guess you’re right.”
“As long as you leave him alone, nothing will happen. So deliver that message. If you mess with him, you’ll die.”
Ho Sung Lee shook his head.
“That mustn’t happen. What if all the hunters died? Then who would protect this world? This world is screwed up as it is.”
The waves became fiercer.
“Let’s go.”
Ho Sung Lee jumped out of the boat.
Splash!
Bowl made another shadow and slid across the water as if he was on a surfboard.
The American hunter was unable to look away from Ho Sung Lee and Bowl as they headed to the tower.
Roar!
“...?”
At that moment, the American hunter heard a strange sound from below, which led him to look down.
There was a sound, but he didn’t sense anything strange.
The American hunter tilted his head.
‘Did I hear it wrong?’
As soon as he concluded that it must have been thunder.
Swooshhhhhh!
Something came from within the water.
“...!”
The American hunter reached into his item window out of shock, but the thing that came out of the water already sliced the American hunter’s neck.
The man in the dark robe.
He flew out of the water. He sliced the American hunter’s neck and then dove back in.
The American hunter spilled blood and died on the boat.
Soon after, a hole formed in the boat.
Bubble, bubble, bubble.
As the boat was being filled with water, it began to sink.
***
“Oh! I only have 15 minutes left. Hey, Bowl. Do you think we’ll make it?”
“Don’t worry, son of a bitch.”
Bowl made a circle with his bone fingers.
“We can do it.”
Bowl was spinning round and round around Ho Sung Lee in a shadow boat as he swam in the water.
“Let’s just get going.”
Ho Sung Lee caught his breath and got ready to run 100 meters ahead of him.
Pow!
He hit the ground and started running.
Since he used a skill to run, his body sped ahead at an incredible speed.
He definitely became faster after leveling up.
That was when he realized the value of levels.
However.
“I’ll meet you there, son of a bitch.”
When Ho Sung Lee saw Bowl sped ahead of him on a shadow board, he clenched down on his teeth.
***
‘That damned Bowl. If only I had a skill like that.’
As soon as they passed the 4th floor and got to the 5th, his stamina suffered more than when he came down.
The tower was wide and long, and the stairs to the next floor were especially long.
Countless monsters appeared on the stairs, but Min Sung Kang destroyed them as if they were tofu and kept going.
‘Shit.’
His legs were shaking now.
Only 5 minutes remained.
Would he be able to get to Min Sung Kang near the 6th or 7th floor in under 5 minutes?
If he failed the mission, Min Sung Kang would put him through pain.
“Hurry up, son of a bitch!”
Bowl’s voice rang from above.
‘Damn it.’
He was reaching his limit, but compared to the pain he endured from the devils, this was nothing...!
Ho Sung Lee sped up with all his might.
He reached the 6th floor.
“Huff! Huff! Huff!”
While Ho Sung Lee caught his breath with a yellow face, Bowl got off his shadow board and kicked him.
“Pow!”
“Agh! That hurt! You crazy skull bowl!”
“This won’t do. I’m going to go without you. If I wait for you, I’ll get cussed out by Master, too. Pass me the lunch.”
Ho Sung Lee took out the lunch from his item window and handed it to Bowl.
Bowl got right back on the shadow board and sped ahead.
If Bowl got him the lunch on time, wouldn’t that be mission cleared?
Maybe it was a relief.
As long as they could calm Min Sung Kang down with lunch, he considered it a success.
“Sigh.”
Ho Sung Lee was relieved, but when he saw Bowl coming back toward him, he got confused.
“Huh? Why are you coming back?”
Bowl dropped his jaw and trembled.
“A-a monster!”
Bowl screamed loudly.
Ho Sung Lee stopped running and stared at Bowl with big eyes.
“A monster? Really?”
Ho Sung Lee looked at Bowl and asked with shocked eyes.
Bowl pointed in front of him with shaking fingers.
And then at that moment.
Just as Bowl said, a monster with a human upper body and a snake lower body was slithering toward them.
This monster was different from the ones they ran into in the labyrinth.
Its presence was different, and it had the hair of Medusa and moved like a snake.
‘Why is there a monster here? He must have wiped them out already? What is this?’
Ho Sung Lee looked back once and saw the Monster once more.
‘That snake human is way too fast.’
Considering the monster’s speed, running away was not a good idea.
‘Damn it. We’ll have to fight.’
“Hey, Bowl. We have to fight,” Ho Sung Lee said with a determined voice.
“We don’t have time to run, and it’s not like we can get away from him either. Let’s catch him together.”
Bowl was flustered, but he agreed with Ho Sung Lee.
“Okay.”
“Pass me the lunch.”
Bowl handed it back to him.
Ho Sung Lee put the lunch in his item window and gulped while Bowl tapped on Ho Sung Lee’s legs.
“I’ll try to put him down with magic, so attack him when you can.”
Ho Sung Lee nodded.
“Great. Since he’s not a devil, we might be able to beat him.”
The monster was not far from them.
Bowl cast a magic spell on him.
A dark smoke came from the ground and wrapped around the monster’s body.
As soon as the dark poison went through the Monster’s skin, the monster screamed of rage.
After that. Bowl used another skill.
‘Dark Breath.’
A flame flew from the darkness and toward the monster.
Pow!
After seeing the Dark Breath work, Ho Sung Lee’s face brightened up.
Ho Sung Lee found some hope. He took out his Death Knight Sword and charged toward him.
“Aghhhhhh!”
He ran toward the monster with a scream and with the Death Knight Sword in his hands.
But before he reached the monster’s shoulder, the monster’s nails scratched Ho Sung Lee’s body.
Scratch!
As a result, Ho Sung Lee’s body bled all over.
“Gasp...!”
Ho Sung Lee gasped. He took a step back and then looked down at his body.
The battle suit with magic cast on it was ripped, and the skin underneath was bleeding.
He was bleeding as if he was stabbed by a sword.
While he wondered if this was the end.
“Wake up, son of a bitch!”
Bowl screamed at him.
Ho Sung Lee caught his breath and looked over at Bowl.
Bowl was using all his strength to pour out his dark magic.
Ho Sung Lee drank a potion from his item window and then got back to it.
He couldn’t die just yet.
He was determined to kill him.
This time, Ho Sung Lee kept a fair distance before charging at him once more.
A blue Aura radiated from Ho Sung Lee’s Death Knight Sword.
Stab!
As soon as he struck, he saw words that confirmed its damage.
“Agh!”
The monster shrieked in pain and shook his body.
Blood poured out from his side, and Bowl’s dark magic penetrated through that wound.
‘Good.’
‘We can catch him.’
Ho Sung Lee used another skill on the monster with much confidence.
Crackkk!
The Aura from the Death Knight Sword split into two, and it pierced through the monster’s body.
The monster’s skin looked strong at first, but it ripped up like paper.
The monster was covered with rips, and blood came pouring out of them.
They believed this was the end.
The monster opened his eyes wide and gold light shined from it.
At that moment.
