Three Meals of a Reincarnator - Chapter 143
Chapter 143: Chapter 143
Following the meeting, Jae Hyuk Han disappeared and the Samchunkyo hunters spoke amongst themselves.
“Will they really be able to clear the Black Tower?”
“Who knows?”
“If they do…”
“The best-case scenario is that they die in the Black Tower. But if they do clear it… we’ll have to do as our leader instructed.”
“The world hunters are just imaginary. They’re nothing but paper shields. What’s important is that they clear the black tower, and we attack when their stamina is low.”
“But things could end differently depending on how we use the paper shields.”
“You should do your best even when catching rabbits. We’re up against a dragon. We have to go in with our best strategy.”
The wind at the assembly changed directions.
A new meeting began.
***
It grew darker as soon as they got to the 15th floor.
Their footsteps grew faster, and they became tenser as they went further.
Of course, that tension only existed between Ho Sung Lee and Bowl.
Meanwhile, an unpleasant sound could be heard from around them.
Min Sung was able to figure out the origin of that noise, but he didn’t step forward.
They were nothing but low-level devils.
“Special devils are mostly high-level. We’ll use the low-level devils to call the shots.”
Min Sung continued walking as he added.
“There are all sorts of special devils. There are those that use spells as well as champions with outstanding physical abilities. When they start to show up…”
Min Sung’s eyes sparkled.
“… Be ready to die.”
He chanted it over and over.
‘Special devil, special devil, special devil.’
The fact that someone as strong as Min Sung Kang said it over and over again meant that they were that dangerous.
But that didn’t mean Min Sung Kang was scared.
It just meant that they had to cross the line of death and proceed forward.
“Sir.”
Min Sung didn’t look back and continued walking.
But Ho Sung Lee continued anyway.
“Sir, I won’t die and will become stronger. I’ll make sure those devils won’t mess with your restaurants.”
Ho Sung Lee’s eyes shined with determination.
“Don’t overreact and die.”
“… Yes, Sir.”
***
[They’re coming in closer and closer.]
[I don’t like this. I feel anxious…]
[It’s the Black Slaughterer. The Black Slaughterer found us. I’m scared.]
[Don’t be scared. He’s just a human. We can win.]
[Where’s Shaman?]
[Even with Shaman, would we be able to stop him?]
[Don’t let a human scare you.]
[That bastard’s not human.]
[There’s Shaman. Shaman’s coming.]
15th floor.
The words of the devils appeared on the walls with blood.
***
The sound of footsteps could be heard.
As soon as Min Sung stopped in his tracks, so did his party.
The footsteps became clearer and clearer.
A moment later, someone appeared from the darkness.
“…!?”
Ho Sung Lee’s eyes were filled with shock.
Bowl also flinched and trembled.
Min Sung Kang’s personal chef, Woong Jang.
His granddaughter, Sia Jang, was walking over covered in blood.
Min Sung stared at Sia Jang.
Ho Sung Lee looked at Min Sung and then ran over to Sia Jang, who was about to fall over.
At that moment.
“Stop,” Min Sung instructed.
Ho Sung Lee slowed down and looked back at Min Sung.
“That’s Sia. Woong Jang’s granddaughter! What the hell is she…”
“Stop. Come back here.”
Ho Sung Lee took turns looking at Sia Jang covered in blood and Min Sung before biting his lip and taking a step back.
“What’s going on?”
Min Sung looked at Sia Jang with cold eyes and took out his Orichalcum Sword from his item widow.
Flash!
Thunder and lightning surrounded the Orichalcum Sword in Min Sung’s hands.
Step, step—
Min Sung slowly walked toward her.
Sia Jang continued to wobble.
It looked like she could fall over at any moment.
But Min Sung wasn’t fazed by this.
When Min Sung was close enough to Sia Jang.
Swooshhhhhh-
Dozens of devils appeared out of thin air and waved their sharp fingernails at Min Sung.
Min Sung clenched his teeth and waved his Orichalcum Sword around.
Boommmmmm!
Along with the sound of thunder and lightning, fireworks went off followed by bloodshed.
The blood splashed in the air and drenched Sia Jang.
Min Sung went toward Sia Jang, who was covered in devil blood.
He then took the Orichalcum Sword and stabbed Sia Jang in the heart.
Slash!
As soon as he did, Sia Jang’s appearance transformed into a dark devil.
The devil screeched in a very high pitch.
“Kyaaaaaaaaa!”
It was noisy and painful to listen to.
As soon as Min Sung pulled out his Orichalcum Sword.
Rippppppppp!
The devil’s body was ripped to shreds and blood splashed in all four directions.
And on top of the blood, an item fell.
Ssol, who was watching all of this unfold before him, smiled at the item.
“Wow!”
Ssol ran at a very high speed and put the item into his pocket.
He moved so quickly that Ho Sung Lee and Bowl could barely see it.
Ho Sung Lee blankly watched Ssol and then looked over at Min Sung.
“I-I’m sorry, Sir.”
“That was Shaman’s trick.”
“Pardon?”
Ho Sung Lee lifted his head and looked at Min Sung.
“A special devil has appeared.”
In response, Ho Sung Lee looked in front of him.
The floors were covered in blood.
And to think there was a special devil there.
The special devil that Min Sung warned him about multiple times.
Ho Sung Lee gulped.
He felt something in his bones that he had never experienced before.
“Bowl.”
In response, Bowl ran over and looked up at his owner, Min Sung.
“Yes, Master.”
“A special devil has appeared. Don’t be greedy about turning low-level devils into the undead. The one special devil is enough for now.”
Bowl nodded up and down.
“Ho Sung.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Don’t be greedy about experience points right now.”
“Yes, Sir,” Ho Sung Lee responded with a nervous voice.
“Let’s go.”
Min Sung began walking.
***
“… Our plan failed.”
“Well, it’s the Black Slaughterer we’re talking about.”
“Our floor will be cleared at this rate.”
“I don’t want to go extinct…”
“What about Shaman?”
“Where’s Shaman!?”
The devils babbled on and on in anxiousness like a bunch of animals waiting on their mother.
At that moment, Shaman appeared.
A high-level devil that cast spells.
The Shaman Devil was a head taller than the average devil.
Aside from the fact that he had words of the devil language tattooed all over his dark skin, he didn’t look too much different.
Shaman looked down at the group of devils and opened his shark-like mouth.
[I will kill Black Slaughterer.]
There was great demonic energy in Shaman’s voice.
The scared devils came to their senses after hearing his voice.
[Don’t be afraid of going extinct. That fear will only make that come true.]
Shaman’s deep voice rang loudly.
However, that voice only rang inside the devil’s heads. It didn’t reach the Black Slaughterer.
Thud!
Shaman slammed his cane on the ground.
Along with it came a magic square.
A fiery blue light came out of the magic square and went into the devils’ bodies.
Just like that, the awakening began.
They forgot their fears and became determined to fight.
The devil’s thirst for blood and war. That instinct came to life.
Their cowering bodies stretched out.
The devils’ fighting spirit exceeded death.
Their fingernails sparkled, and so did their shark-like teeth.
The devils spread out their wings.
Fwip!
Shaman raised his cane.
[The one who kills Black Slaughterer will bring honor to the Demonic Realm. Prove the Demonic Realm’s threat to humans!]
The devils flashed their red eyes and ran in the same direction.
And Shaman followed behind them.
***
His senses gave him a signal.
This time, it wasn’t just one.
It was an army.
Min Sung’s senses told him that the devils were moving in a big group.
However, there was something he didn’t sense.
The special devil.
They were different.
They weren’t just different in fighting power, but in other ways as well.
‘It was like that in the Demonic Realm as well.’
However, due to his experience, he knew that Shaman would be among them.
Shaman was definitely behind the herd.
