"Ugh! Agh! Agh!"
The devil used all his might to escape his grasp.
Ripppppp!
But as soon as Min Sung's demonic power wrapped around the devil, the devil's body trembled greatly, and blood began pouring out.
The devil then became fragments of death.
Ho Sung Lee looked at Min Sung and clicked his tongue.
It was only Bowl who was sad at the fact that another devil was gone.
Boommmmmm!
The sound of footsteps shaking the ground got louder and louder.
Min Sung took out the Orichalcum Sword from his item window as he walked toward where the noise was coming from.
The tower was wide.
For that reason, even if Min Sung was at the top, if there were many devils, it was likely for Ho Sung Lee and Bowl to be put into great danger.
As predicted by their nervousness, thousands of devils appeared.
Dark skin and red eyes.
Their horns gave off a threatening vibe.
The bat-like creatures couldn't be counted, and Ho Sung Lee and Bowl were so shocked that they couldn't move.
But Min Sung was different.
Whooshhhhhh!
Min Sung's Orichalcum Sword was swung toward the devils.
Aghhhhhhhhh!
The sound of devils crying rung through the tower.
***
The world hunters at the assembly blankly stared at the tower.
The lights were on on the 14th floor.
Their faces showed looks of disbelief.
As a result, even the 7 hunters of Samchunkyo grew curious about who Min Sung Kang was.
While everyone kept an eye on the Black Tower in silence.
Wang Wei of Samchunkyo spat on the ground and glared at the Black Tower.
***
Min Sung warned that a special devil could appear, but no such devil appeared from the 1st to 5th floor.
As a result, they had many opportunities to kill lower-level devils and gain experience points.
'... Damn it. '
Ho Sung Lee glared at Bowl nearly in tears with his fists clenched.
Even this time, Bowl ate all of the devil kills.
'That damned Bowl. '
'How could he take it all?'
Ho Sung Lee felt agonized.
At this rate, Bowl was going to take everything and go on to live a better life.
He couldn't just let everything be stolen from him.
Bowl had already succeeded in making 5 devils into the undead.
Once special devils began to appear, their difference in power was going to be even greater.
Ho Sung Lee sighed as he picked up the items and got back up to follow Min Sung.
"Sir! Isn't the item window full? I'm maxed out."
"That order sheet that you use for enchants. How many do you have?"
"I don't have that much to spare."
"Then let's go back down. We can't do more than 5 floors at a time, can we?"
Min Sung clicked his tongue and continued,
"I'd better hire someone to carry our items. Because we filled your item window with cooking ingredients, we don't have enough room. At this rate, we won't last long. But..."
Ho Sung Lee straightened his back and looked at Min Sung.
"Yes, Sir. Please continue."
"What were you going to say earlier?"
"Oh, about that... I just feel like Bowl is taking all the kills..."
As soon as Ho Sung Lee said that, Bowl came over and kicked him in the ankle.
Ho Sung Lee ignored him and continued,
"So I was hoping you could share some with me..."
"You need another beating."
"Pardon..."
"You get more experience points from getting beaten."
"T-that's... !"
"Once we get back down, fill your item window with potions. I'll help you. I'll make you into the Berserker, and once you are..."
"No, Sir. I like it the way it is. I just need some time to think it through."
"Okay."
While Min Sung went down the stairs, Ho Sung Lee stared into space and smiled.
***
Wang Wei twisted his body while witting in a chair overlooking the ocean.
An itch irritated his entire body.
The itch just wouldn't go away.
He really wanted to kill Min Sung Kang's underlings and fight against Min Sung Kang himself.
However, Heukrangdae was on his tail, so he had to wait for Samchunkyo's instructions.
Wang Wei looked at the ocean with a look of discontent before sighing out of annoyance and springing up from his chair.
Wang Wei walked toward Heukrangdae, who was keeping watch at the center of the assembly.
"Hey, any word from our leader?"
"No, " Heukrangdae replied.
In response, Wang Wei brushed his long and thick hair aside and scanned the assembly.
The world hunters were either chatting with discontent or blankly killing time.
"Those useless bastards."
Wang Wei scoffed.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei met eyes with one of the world hunters.
That hunter didn't avoid his gaze and kept it fixed.
The world hunter seemed dissatisfied.
The world hunter did look away, but Wang Wei's face was already flushed.
Wang Wei walked toward that world hunter.
The world hunter from South America showed a stiff face as soon as Wang Wei walked over.
"Hey, " Wang Wei called.
The world hunter appeared uncomfortable, displeased, and nervous all at the same time.
"I saw you staring at me."
The world hunters around them slowly got up and watched.
Wang Wei grabbed the front hair of the world hunter and shook him.
"Why were you staring? You seemed pretty pissed. Tell me."
In response, the South American world hunter swallowed his saliva.
"I'm not pissed."
"Then why were you staring?"
Wang Wei's voice grew louder and louder.
"N-no reason..."
"Stop lying."
Wang Wei looked at the world hunter and smirked.
One of the Samchunkyo hunters sighed and walked toward Wang Wei.
"Wei, that's enough..."
At that moment, Wang Wei took out his sword from his item window and sliced off a hunter's neck.
Slash!
Along with the neck came a fountain of blood.
A Samchunkyo hunter, who was on his way to Wang Wei, stopped as soon as he saw that.
"What's wrong with him this time?"
At that moment, Wang Wei looked at his colleagues while covered in blood and kicked his teeth.
"Contracts are there just to make things a little easier. But control is something more like this. This is the only way to make scumbags follow along!"
Wang Wei screamed.
In response, the Samchunkyo hunters shrugged and smiled.
"You're not wrong, but if you kill everyone like this, nothing will be left. If you're relieved from your stress, then go and get some rest. It's for the best."
Wang Wei looked down at the hunter's body. He spat on it and then proceeded to walk away.
The 6 Samchunkyo hunters beside Wang Wei looked on as if they didn't know how to talk him out of it.
***
Min Sung used his demonic power to pull a boat to shore so that he didn't have to get wet.
Bowl rode on his shadow board and snickered as he surfed across the ocean, and Ho Sung Lee was the only one who had to swim across.
'F*ck! Can't he let me ride the boat with him? I Even cooked!'
Ho Sung Lee cursed in his head as he swam.
He was now experienced at swimming, so he was just as fast as a motorboat.
Meanwhile, Bowl was even doing tricks on his shadow board. He rode the waves and even did spins in the air.
Watching that made Ho Sung Lee feel as though he was losing motivation.
'I wish I had a skill like that. '
'The only option he gave me was to get experience points when I get beat up. '
'Sigh... Fuck my life. '
Ho Sung Lee expressed his rage as he swam faster and faster.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Splash, splash!
Ho Sung Lee managed to get ahead of Min Sung's boat and arrive on land first.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
He caught his breath and smiled in victory.
He was happy that he beat Min Sung in some way.
Whether Ho Sung Lee was smiling about it or not, Min Sung leisurely arrived on shore on his boat.
Bowl followed him shortly afterward.
As soon as Min Sung appeared, the vibe of the assembly changed.
That was the result of the conflict between Min Sung Kang and the 7 Samchunkyo hunters.
"Hey, Ho Sung."
"Yes, Sir, " Ho Sung Lee replied as he squeezed water out of his hair.
"Who is that?"
"Pardon? Who?"
"The one that messed with you after stealing my car, " Min Sung replied as he scanned the assembly.
Ho Sung Lee felt his heart sink.
He was afraid of what Min Sung Kang was going to do next.
"One of the 7 Samchunkyo hunters, " Ho Sung Lee replied with nervousness in his voice.
'Is he going to fight?'
Ho Sung Lee's prediction was correct.
"Bring him over, " Min Sung remarked as he looked back at Ho Sung Lee.
He wasn't mad or overexcited.
Min Sung simply looked as though he was going to do what he had to do.
Ho Sung Lee gulped and nodded.
Even in the tower, he wished that Min Sung Kang would beat that asshole to a pulp, but once that hope became reality, he realized what fear really felt like.
Messing with Wang Wei was no different from challenging China's great Samchunkyo to a face-off.
He wondered if he really could bring him over, but since it was Min Sung Kang's order, he had no choice but to follow it.
Since it was an order, he had to find Wang Wei.
Ho Sung Lee walked amongst the world hunters before he found the Samchunkyo hunters.
They were Asian, and thanks to their distinct traits, it was easy to differentiate between them.
However, the one face that he recognized.
He didn't see Wang Wei anywhere.
'Where did he go?'
