Chapter 104: Episode 104
“Captain.”
In response to the underling’s calling, Mike came to his senses.
He looked around with widened eyes.
All the hunters were looking at him.
He was the one who had to give a command, and he had to choose whether they were going to enter the tower or return.
Mike scanned around him with a heavy face and opened his mouth.
“Our duty is complete. We’re going back.”
In response to Mike’s lowered voice, the hunters all looked in the direction of Min Sung as if they all had an agreement.
The gazes of the hunters all looked confused.
Mike also looked in the direction of where Min Sung disappeared and turned back.
His face was full of darkness.
While they walked away, the hunters behind Mike had a conversation.
“I heard he’s a Korean hunter. He’s so strong.”
“How could a hunter like that come from such a small country...?”
“No way... Not even the world hunters could take on one monster. Is he even human?”
“I can’t believe it.”
Mike laughed without realizing it.
He was unable to protect or save his colleagues.
And despite having combined forces with the powers from all over the world, there was no hope to be seen at this tower.
However... one hunter from Korea was solving it once and for all.
All by himself at that.
What would happen once he reported this to American hunter master, Ethan?
The jurisdiction of the tower would solely belong to Korea.
No one saw this coming, and the country that everyone thought was a burden ended up taking the highest position in the hunter world.
‘I know you can never know what will happen next... but this is unbelievable.’
While Mike laughed bitterly, he heard footsteps.
...?
He lifted his head and looked in front of him.
Since the interior fo the tower was dark, he could only hear clear footsteps.
‘A monster?’
In response, Mike and the other hunters froze in place.
If it was a devil, they were not going to survive.
Their pupils dilated, and their bodies stiffened up.
In the midst of breathing becoming increasingly difficult, the one with the footsteps approached and showed himself.
He was a man wearing a robe.
His long robe was grey, and his right hand was holding a podao.
‘It’s a hunter.’
Luckily, it wasn’t a monster.
The hunters sighed out of relief after realizing it wasn’t a monster.
Mike looked at the man in a robe and walked toward him.
‘I’m glad he’s not a monster, but who is he?’
“Are you a hunter from the assembly?”
Mike approached him while asking him respectfully.
In response, the man in a robe lifted his head.
And then his face appeared from the robe.
One of his eyes was closed from an injury.
And the other eye appeared sharp.
He felt his heart sink.
It was instinctual.
‘He’s not a hunter from the assembly!’
While Mike flinched, the man in a robe was the first to react.
The robed man’s podao sliced through Mike’s chest.
It was so fast that he didn’t even have time to blink.
As a result, Mike poured out blood.
“Ah...!”
Mike screamed without much energy. He stared at the man in a robe and then plopped down on his knees.
His blood began to spill all over the floor.
The hunters blankly stared at the sight and then looked at the face of the robed man.
“Captain!”
The American hunters ran over and tried to treat him, but he had already died.
The American hunters teared up while the foreign hunters stared at the robed man with rage and took out their weapons.
“Who are you?”
One of the hunters screamed while the others prepared to pounce.
However, the robed man simply walked toward them with a straight face.
He was a hunter who sliced Mike in one go.
The hunters stepped back in response to the robed man’s approach.
With Mike gone, there were just nine of them left.
But they were still unable to fight the robed man in question without knowing who he was.
Meanwhile, an underling of Mike furiously ran toward the robed man.
Right before he threw his sword.
Slash!
The podao in the robed man’s hand sliced the American hunter’s neck before anyone could take another breath.
The body of the sliced neck fell over like a pole, and the head fell on the ground and rolled away.
The robed man didn’t even have a ready stance.
That was a testament to how relaxed he was, and the other hunters were terrified.
But they were in a tower.
Since they had nowhere else to run, rather than being killed one by one, it was wiser to attack him as a group.
The remaining 8 hunters all thought that way.
After exchanging glances, the hunters took their weapons and attacked him all at once.
Swords with skills shined as they swarmed toward the man.
But the robed man wasn’t disturbed one bit.
He didn’t even move.
Right before getting stabbed.
Swoosh!
The robed man disappeared into thin air.
“...!?”
While the hunters glanced around in panic.
Slash! Slash!
The sound of bones and flesh getting sliced could be heard.
The robed man was quiet and fast, and he even broke down the shielding skills with no difficulty.
The man in front of the hunters was no different from the other monsters in the tower.
“D-damn it.”
“Shit!”
The hunters began to tear up.
Their tears were simply out of fear of dying.
There was no point in the hunters’ attack.
It was simply the robed man who was one-sidedly taking out the hunters.
The robed man killed the remaining hunters with not much motion.
The robed man’s weapon, the padao killed the hunters one by one.
The robed man scanned the hunters as they died.
He then lifted his head and looked in the direction of Min Sung.
He then put his bloody padao away.
He dragged the bodies through the halls.
It left bloodstains on the floor, and the sound of bodies sweeping the floor rang through the empty space.
***
“We’re already on the 7th floor.”
Ho Sung looked up at the entrance to the 7th floor and remarked blankly.
They defeated devils and monsters all the way to the entrance of the 7th floor.
“Ho Sung.”
“Yes, Sir.”
When Ho Sung Lee looked over at Min Sung, he had gone up the stairs and sat.
“...?”
Ho Sung Lee stared at Min Sung in confusion.
“Bring me a lunch.”
“Pardon...? What are you talking about?”
Ho Sung Lee couldn’t understand this and blinked multiple times.
“I don’t want to go back down and come back up again. So you deliver it.”
He felt as though he was struck by lightning.
Min Sung comfortably laid on the stairs as if he had just ordered chicken.
Ho Sung Lee gulped with a serious look on his face.
“What if I run into a devil or a monster on my way down?”
“I don’t know,” Min Sung replied as he closed his eyes.
‘Hey, you son of a bitch. Don’t treat me like you don’t care!’
That was what he thought, but he was unable to vocalize it.
“Um, Sir... I’m okay with dying and all... but if I die on my way there, you won’t get your food and starve.”
In response, Min Sung threw him Bowl from his pocket.
Bowl spun around in circles and then hugged Ho Sung Lee.
“Go together. You have an hour.”
Ho Sung Lee’s face turned yellow.
‘1 hour...?’
Ho Sung Lee looked down at Bowl in his arms.
Bowl was also nervous seeing how his eyes were shaking.
A mission to be completed in 1 hour.
The order had already been given.
They couldn’t go against Min Sung’s orders.
That was the one thing he had learned until now.
‘Damn it.’
Ho Sung Lee held Bowl in one hand and began to run like crazy.
On the other hand, Min Sung laid on the stairs comfortably as if he was in his own bed.
A light shined upon Min Sung.
The sight of Min Sung laying on the stairs with his eyes closed inside the Black Tower was almost like a painting.
