Chapter 100: Episode 100
Min Sung continued walking.
It was similar to when he kept walking in the white space in his dream.
Come to think of it, what was that dream about?
The dream was vivid as if it was real.
And who was the person that walked toward him in his dream?
It bothered him too much for him to consider it to be just an ordinary dream.
Min Sung knitted his brows and then erased his thoughts.
He couldn’t have found the answer even if he tried.
He 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.
The walls were covered with drawings of devils.
There was even a statue of a devil.
Min Sung kicked that statue down with his feet.
As a result, it shattered to pieces in front of Min Sung.
Ho Sung Lee looked pale as he watched on.
“W-why are you doing that?”
Ho Sung asked him in fear.
“I don’t like the sight of it.”
Min Sung intensified his senses in order to find the devil again.
At that moment, something caught his attention.
He felt something coming toward him using the spider web he set up.
As soon as Min Sung stopped in his tracks, Ho Sung Lee looked around in confusion.
And then a minute later.
Swoosh!
The devil appeared with a sound that resembled paper being ripped.
“Gasp!”
Ho Sung Lee covered his mouth and walked backward.
He had met a devil before.
He was even kidnapped and interrogated.
Due to that trauma, Ho Sung Lee was unable to move.
He felt like he was going to pee his pants.
That was how terrifying the sight of the devil was to Ho Sung Lee.
He was so frozen still that he couldn’t even hide behind Min Sung’s back.
On the other hand, Min Sung quietly took out his Orichalcum Sword from his item window.
Thanks to the light inside the tower, the Orichalcum Sword sparkled.
“Let me ask you. Are you Black Slaughterer?”
Devil Borderer questioned Min Sung.
“Yeah,” Min Sung answered honestly.
He figured, but as soon as it was confirmed, Devil Borderer’s pupils shook intensely.
With the legendary Black Slaughterer in front of him, he had a hard time breathing.
“If you’re done asking questions-”
“Black Slaughterer.”
“...?”
Devil Borderer kneeled in front of Min Sung and lowered his head.
“I’ll do as you wish, Black Borderer. If you want to go to the second floor, I’ll open the door for you.”
***
In response, Ho Sung Lee gulped.
The top hunters from all around the world entered the first floor, but many of them lost their lives.
And the one who killed them was Devil Borderer that was in front of him.
But for some reason, that strong monster kneeled in front of Min Sung.
Just because of Min Sung Kang’s reputation alone, he offered to open the doors.
That was when he realized just how impressive a figure Min Sung Kang was.
Min Sung Kang was that kind of man.
‘... This is crazy.’
At that moment.
Ho Sung Lee thought about stealing his money and running away to a foreign country and thinking that made him want to kill himself.
***
Ji Yoo Kim looked troubled as she looked at the tower.
She heard that Ho Sung Lee and another man went to the tower.
‘It was probably Min Sung Kang.’
‘Will they be okay...?’
She couldn’t help but feel worried.
The Black Tower.
She witnessed herself just how dangerous that place was.
“Min Sung...”
Ji Yoo Kim looked at the tower and mumbled to herself.
She had many things she wanted to ask.
Ji Yoo Kim closed her eyes and prayed that they return safely.
***
“You’re going to escort me to the second floor?”
Min Sung looked down at Devil Borderer with cold eyes.
“That’s right. Please show me some mercy, Black Slaughterer.”
“Okay. Lead the way.”
In response, Devil Borderer immediately got up and started walking.
Min Sung stuck right behind Devil Borderer’s back.
“If you try anything, I’ll kill you cell by cell.”
In response, Devil Borderer looked back at Min Sung and shook in fear.
“O-of course. I wouldn’t dare disrespect you like that.”
Min Sung smiled.
“I know what you’re like.”
In response, Devil Borderer looked ahead and started walking.
In pain from having Black Slaughterer right behind him, he led the way with a scared look on his face.
***
They walked for quite a while with Devil Borderer’s lead.
At the end of a long hallway, Min Sung arrived at a set of stairs.
“These are the stairs to the 2nd floor,” Devil Borderer explained with a trembling voice.
Min Sung looked up at the stairs.
The stairs were quite long and high.
They were so high that the top of it was dark as the night sky.
As soon as he lowered his gaze, he saw the entrance to the stairs.
“Let me open it for you.”
Devil Borderer reached in to grab his keys to the 2nd floor.
The keys had the magic language engraved into it.
As soon as he turned the key.
Bangggggg!
The door to the stairs opened with the sound of glass shattering.
Min Sung stared at Devil Borderer.
In response, Devil Borderer showed an anxious look on his face.
“You can go up now, Black Slaughterer.”
He smiled awkwardly.
“Why did you make this anyway?”
“Pardon?”
“The Black Tower. Why did you make this and come into this world? It’s so annoying.”
“I-I don’t know anything about it. I’m simply a puppet stationed at this tower.”
“You don’t’ know anything?”
Min Sung questioned back.
“Y-yes, Sir.”
Min Sung smiled.
Devil Borderer felt shivers after seeing that smile.
He stumbled backward.
“Please let me live. I’m really just a puppet. I don’t have anything for you. Really!”
“Lies.”
Min Sung spoke in a low face and stared at Devil Borderer with a straight face.
“G-gasp!”
Devil Borderer attempted to disappear with the sound of paper cutting, but Min Sung grabbed him by the throat and pushed him against the wall.
Bangggggg!
As the wall with drawings of devils shattered, he lost excessive blood in Min Sung’s hands.
When he tightened his grip around his neck, his entire body trembled.
His red eyes swelled up and shed tears of blood.
“P-please don’t kill me. Ugh! Please... I really don’t...”
“I don’t care if you’re lying or telling the truth. You’re going to die anyway.”
“Y-you damned human...!”
Min Sung slowly took out his Orichalcum Sword from his item window.
Swish!
Devil Borderer cried as he saw Min Sung pull out the Orichalcum Sword.
“Cough! Ugh! Ughhhhhh. I opened the door...”
Min Sung stabbed him in the heart.
Slash!
Swoosh!
Bang, Bangggggg!
Magic came out of the Orichalcum Sword and burned Borderer’s body.
Aghhhhhh!”
Devil Borderer screamed as his body melted into bloody water.
As his body melted like slime and disappeared, he dropped his item.
Min Sung put the two good items and one small item in his window and looked back at Ho Sung Lee.
“Give me something to wipe this with.”
Ho Sung Lee came to his senses and brought him a towel.
“Why are you trembling?”
Min Sung frowned at Ho Sung Lee’s shaking hands.
“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.”
Min Sung laughed as he wiped off the blood from his body and sword and handed the towel back to Ho Sung Lee.
He then proceeded to go up the stairs to the 2nd floor.
***
They finally arrived at the 2nd floor of Black Tower.
This floor also had wall murals like the 1st floor.
The 1st floor showcased the holy images of devils while this floor showed off the devils’ horrible hobbies.
Pictures of devils killing and torturing humans were all over the walls and ceiling.
Ho Sung Lee appeared uncomfortable at the murals.
“Sir... Are you from this kind of world?”
“Don’t remind me. This is already bad enough.”
Min Sung threw Bowl onto the floor.
Bowl spun around in a circle and stood up with perfect posture.
Min Sung looked at Bowl in surprise and then looked elsewhere.
“Things will get annoying from now on, so you guys will need to level up. Get ready to earn some experience points.”
In response, Ho Sung Lee gasped and danced with his fists clenched.
“Focus.”
Ho Sung Lee and Bowl stopped their celebration and stood up straight.
“But Sir. Will our attacks work on the devil?”
“Do you expect me to feed the devil to you?”
Min Sung looked at Ho Sung Lee with cold eyes.
“N-no, Sir. I’ll do the damage.”
Ho Sung sweated buckets.
On the other hand, Bowel snickered.
Ho Sung Lee looked at Bowl scornfully, but Bowl didn’t care and stuck right by Min Sung’s side.
Ho Sung Lee also followed Min Sung while giving strength to his core.
***
“The lights turned on on the 2nd floor.”
In response, the hunters at the assembly looked at the tower in shock.
The assembly soon bustled with noise.
The lights that were only on on the 1st floor were now on on the 2nd floor as well.
The hunters were fascinated.
It hadn’t been long since the two men entered the tower.
And now, the lights were on on the second floor.
‘Did they clear the floor?’ They wondered this, but they figured it was ridiculous.
The top hunters from all around the world went in and got annihilated.
So how could two men go in there and clear the 1st floor and enter the 2nd?
The hunters assumed that the two hunters died and that the 2nd floor’s lights turned on automatically.
As the hunters grew more anxious, their confidence lowered.
The terror in the tower still remained as a trauma and continued to mentally harass them.
They were hopeless.
Unless a miracle happened, mankind’s future seemed bleak.
