Chapter 144: Chapter 144
“It will start soon.”
Min Sung looked ahead of him and continued,
“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.”
He then took out his Orichalchum Sword and walked forward.
Ho Sung Lee felt weighed down as he watched his spirit.
He felt like the air was being compressed.
He felt frustrated and pressured.
This was all due to Min Sung’s existence.
Roarrrr
At that moment, the tower began ringing.
The devils were coming.
The sound was dark and sloppy.
It was a familiar sound.
Min Sung accepted what he sensed with a cold look on his face and kept walking forward.
He sped up.
And then the devils poured out from the darkness.
Min Sung unleashed his demonic powers.
As a result, the devils disappeared, and a path cleared up.
Min Sung ignored the rest of the devils and ran through the path at a high speed.
He had to find Shaman and kill him first.
If not, a war could break out.
Even if he had to turn his backs on the low-level devils, he had to find Shaman and defeat him first.
Min Sung dodged the pouncing devils and continued through the open space.
Min Sung and the devils were differentiated like water and oil.
Meanwhile, Min Sung spotted Shaman.
A devil with words tattooed all over his body.
He was Shaman.
Min Sung pounced Shaman as if he was a wild animal going after his prey.
After noticing Min Sung running over, Shaman raised his cane.
The words tattooed on his body lit up and a strong force exuded from his cane.
A strong light that was blinding appeared.
Demons appeared from that light and flew toward Min Sung.
Swoosh!
However, Min Sung simply laughed at Shaman’s charm abilities.
Shaman’s main ability wasn’t attack power.
He specialized in minor techniques such as restraint and slowdown.
Of course, there was a time when those abilities were scary, but that was all in the past.
On top of that, the fact that Shaman couldn’t control his distance very well meant that he was simply Min Sung’s prey.
Min 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.
The Orichalcum Sword flashed with white light before its dark power exploded.
Boommmm!!
Half of Shaman’s body melted into liquid onto the ground.
When Min Sung took out his Orichalcum Sword.
The devils pounced at Min Sung from all four directions.
But the result was the same.
The devils exploded with blood splattering everywhere.
And 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.
And as for Min Sung.
He fought the rest of the devils.
***
“He might reincarnate at this rate! Get it together, Bowl! I thought you were going to make a special devil into the undead!”
Ho Sung Lee desperately yelled.
Bowl tried his best to turn Shaman into the undead, but it was easier said than done.
It took a long time.
Meanwhile, the other devils went extinct due to Min Sung’s Orichalcum Sword.
Min Sung then returned to Bowl and Ho Sung Lee as if he finished a boring day at work.
As soon as he did, he stabbed Shaman in the back with his Orichalcum Sword.
Slash!
When the Orichalcum Sword went through his skin, Shaman trembled and shrieked.
Aghhhhhh!
The sound of his screaming was dreadful, but then it grew quiet.
After seeing this, Bowl’s eyes went into flames.
Dark smoke then attempted to absorb into Shaman’s skin cells.
But 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.
It was that difficult to turn Shaman into the undead, but Bowl didn’t give up.
And that effort paid off.
Words popped up in front of Min Sung’s face.
[Your Lich Doll, Bowl, successfully turned ‘Shaman Devil’ into the undead.]
Shaman began the process of reincarnation.
His dying body started standing up again.
A moment later, the complete form of Shaman stood in front of Bowl with full obedience.
Bowl’s eyes lit up with excitement as he ran around, and Ssol walked over to the Shaman devil and smiled at it in awe.
Ho Sung Lee sighed deeply following the hard battle.
On the other hand, Min Sung quietly prepared to execute his next steps.
***
“Let’s eat a hotdog,” Min Sung said in front of the stairs to the 16th floor.
“Since I’m not hungry, I think we should just have a snack before we go up.”
Ho Sung Lee nodded and called over Ssol.
“Hey, Ssol. Come here.”
“…”
However, Ssol continued to look at the murals on the walls and ignored Ho Sung Lee.
“Hey, Ssol! I said, come here!”
Ssol continued to ignore him.
“I think you need to call him, Sir.”
Ho Sung Lee sighed and turned toward Min Sung.
“Ssol.”
As soon as Min Sung called him, Ssol turned around with a smile on his face and skipped over.
“Take out the hotdogs from the freezer.”
“Hotdogs?”
In response to Min Sung’s command, Ssol tilted his head in confusion.
So Ho Sung Lee explained what a hotdog was.
Ssol went through his pocket and took out a food item.
“No, that’s frozen dumplings.”
Ssol took out something else.
“No, not that.”
So Ssol took out something else.
“That’s a cucumber. It’s thicker than that… Hey, that’s a zucchini!”
At that moment, Ssol began crying.
When Ssol cried silently with his mouth open while shedding gold tears, Ho Sung Lee sighed in frustration and scratched his head.
“Hey, why are you crying again…?”
Ho Sung Lee patted Ssol on the shoulder.
Meanwhile, Bowl was busy picking up the gold tears from the floor.
“Are you serious?”
Ho Sung Lee looked down at Bowl and asked.
“Hurry up and find it,” Min Sung Lee said in annoyance.
So Ho Sung Lee hurried to comfort Ssol and then began looking for the hotdog again.
A moment later, they finally found the hotdogs that Min Sung wanted.
“Yeah, that’s the one!”
When Ho Sung Lee gave him a thumbs up, Ssol smiled as if nothing had happened.
Ho Sung Lee then ran over to Min Sung with the hotdogs.
Min Sung took out one hotdog from the plastic wrapper.
He then used his magical power to cook it appropriately.
The hotdog, which was covered with white magic, began cooking in the heat.
Min Sung squeezed ketchup on the warm hotdog.
Min Sung found the look of the red ketchup quite pleasant as he went on to take a bite.
Om nom.
He tasted the warm bread first, and after that, he tasted the hot sausage within.
And the ketchup on top intensified the flavors.
It was a delicious snack.
When 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.
Min Sung looked back on his memories as he enjoyed his hotdog.
The combination of the sweet ketchup, the soft bread, and the sausage made for a fantastic harmony.
‘It’s delicious.’
Once he finished half of the hotdog, Min Sung felt a gaze upon him.
Ho Sung Lee was staring with his mouth open.
He then realized what he was doing and quickly looked away.
“Ho Sung.”
‘Yes, Sir.”
Ho Sung Lee immediately turned toward Min Sung.
“Eat it.”
Min Sung threw him the bag with hotdogs in it.
Ho Sung Lee caught the bag as if he had been waiting and took one out and gave it to Bowl.
“Hey, Bowl. Cook this,” Ho Sung Lee said with anticipation.
“No.”
But Bowl ignored Ho Sung Lee and made accessories out of the gold tears he picked up.
“Hey, come on. Cook one for me.”
“No.”
Bowl put the completed gold necklace around his neck and shook his butt back and forth.
“Oh, our great Lich doll, I respectfully ask that you cook a hotdog for me.”
Ho Sung Lee closed his eyes and pushed the hot dog at him with sincerity.
In response, Bowl snickered and flicked his bone finger.
At that moment, a dark fire passed through the hotdog.
“Oh! Thank you!”
Ho Sung Lee smiled at the cooked hotdog. He squeezed ketchup on top and took a bite.
Crunch!
The hotdog was so well-done that his teeth almost went out.
“You damned skeleton!”
Ho Sung Lee threw his hard hot dog at Bowl.
In response, Bowl snickered and ran away from Ho Sung Lee on his shadow board.
Ho Sung was sad that he was unable to enjoy a hotdog.
***
The difficulty levels of each floor were different.
It was like a labyrinth in that there were floors that were easy to clear as well as difficult situations where special devils appeared.
However, Min Sung was more comfortable with this.
This allowed him to clear the tower faster.
Since 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.
And it seemed like that was possible.
He had Ssol, who could store away an infinite number of items, and Ho Sung Lee and Bowl were growing at a fast pace.
The only annoying part was that the tower was too high.
