Chapter 144

Ming Hu looked at the message and then at Revenia. Revenia was slowly falling backwards. What a futile end for a boss.
whisk
Soon enough, Revenia collapsed, and Ming Hu turned his gaze back to Jie Li. As he looked at her, she looked back at him.
“…”
“…”
They locked eyes and said nothing.
Giggle
Ming Hu looked at his tail, which was still wagging, and swallowed hard. As if waiting for Ming Hu to swallow his saliva, Jie Li opened his mouth to speak.
“What happened?”
“…Huh? What?”
Ming Hu stammered at Jian Chen’s words, and then Jian Chen opened his mouth again and said, “I’m sorry.
“That… You were touching it and then you pulled away, how did that happen?”
“Oh…”
Ming Hu breathed a sigh of relief as he listened to the blushing Jian Chen. It was as if she hadn’t seen him the first time. Ming Hu thought for a moment and continued.
“It’s just… I’m kind of confused, too. He came up to me, and he was talking to me, and then he grabbed my hand and put it on his chest…”
As he spoke, Ming Hu coughed in frustration as Jian Chen’s face turned even redder.
“Hmmmmm. After that, what you see is what you get.”
“Oh.”
Delay nodded at Ming Hu’s words.
“So… What were you looking at just now?”
Delay nodded, then asked.
“Huh?”
“Just a moment ago…”
The stuttering Jian Chen turned his head to stare at his own fluttering tail, and Ming Hu smiled awkwardly at his gaze.
“Well, you know. I was wondering where the tail came from.”
As Ming Hu said so, he glanced at Jian Chen’s tailed buttocks, and when he looked at Jian Chen again, he flinched once more as his eyes locked with Jian Chen’s. It was then that Jian Chen opened his mouth and said, “I’m sorry.
“Let’s go. Thirteen places left, right?”
Jie Zi stuttered and began to pace, and Ming Hu looked at him and said, “I’m sorry.
“Delinquent, make sure you get your items!”
“Oh, right. Thank you.”
At Ming Hu’s words, Jian Chen turned back to pick up the items that Revenia had dropped, and when he had finished, he started walking again. Ming Hu smiled at her and began to walk after her. Ming Hu thought as he walked.
“I’m going to have to say it.
At the moment, his relationship with Delay was friendship, but he felt it was time to change that a bit.
“I thought you said you were moving in three days?
Ming Hu smiled, thinking of many things.

In Themus’ office in Ouka’s palace, Themus and his henchman Lakan are currently talking.
“What, Revenia’s dying?”
“Yes.”
Temus frowned at Lakan’s words.
Boom!
Themus slammed down on his desk. There was a tremendous crash. Rakan looked at his desk. The noise was deafening, but thankfully there was no gold in it.
“Who is it?”
Themus asked. Revenia was the only one who opposed him. In fact, she was against him in this war, but she was also his sister. Besides, he was going to be king anyway, and her opposition to him was for the good of the city. Themus was furious that she was dead.
“He’s the one rescuing the prisoners.”
“That guy…”
Temus trailed off. Lakan looked at him apologetically and began to speak.
“I’m sorry to say this, but under the circumstances. Revenia is dead, and I don’t think you should be killing humans right now….”
“I know, I know. I let her rescue the prisoners as she wished, but to kill her… prepare now.”
“Yes. I’ll get it ready right away.”
Lakan bowed his head in acknowledgment of Themus’ words, then quietly opened the door and stepped outside.
“Ha…”
Temus sighed as Larkan left the room.
“I’m going to kill the human.”
Then he blinked and muttered, and with that, Themus closed his eyes for a moment and began to think.
Profit
A moment later, the door opened and someone entered. Of course, Themus already knew who it was. There were only two people who could enter his room without knocking, and one of them, Revenia, was dead, and he was the only one left. Themus opened his eyes and looked at the person who had entered his room.
“I’m sorry, she’s really strong.”
“No, Radis, I’m rather sorry.”
Themus already knew that Radis would not be able to defeat the human, but he had asked Radis to do it anyway so that he could get a sense of how strong the human was.
“How strong was it?”
“He was hit three times and died.”
“You mean number 3?”
At Radis’s words, Themus couldn’t help but frown again.
‘I’d have to hit it 15 times if I were you.’
It would have taken Themus at least fifteen strikes to kill Radis, but the human had killed him in only three, three strikes. Realizing how strong the human was, Themus remembered what he had been saving for just such an occasion.
‘Well, it’s there. The stronger the better.’
Just then, Radis opened his mouth to speak.
“Stand of the Seals, right?”
“You mean the Book of Seals?”
Themus shook his head at Radis’s words, and then Radis nodded and said, “I’m sorry.
“Yes, the Book of Seals.”
“Yeah, but why is that…?”
At Temus’s question, Radis smiled and said.
“His armor is really good.”
“A martial armor? Is the use of the Book of Seals a magical armor?”
“Yeah, so I think we can use the Book of Seals to seal the mooks and make it easier to catch them.”
As Radis had said, Ming Hu’s item had a very good option, but Radis didn’t realize that Ming Hu hadn’t yet used that good option. Not realizing this, Radis attributed much of Ming Hu’s unusual strength to the item’s option.
“…Thank you. I’ll have the Book of Seals ready, and now I’m going to go catch him… will you come with me?”
Themus said with a smile. Radis nodded, thinking about what Themus had said.
‘Hmph, I feel sorry for him. I know it’s because of the quest. Those Twin Axe Guild guys are really vicious…”
Radis smiled wryly, remembering a conversation he’d had with the Twin Axe Guild’s Deputy Guildmaster.
“But are you going right now?”
“Oh, I’ll be there soon. My brother was killed by one.”
“What? Revenia?”
“I see…”
At Temus’s words, Radis couldn’t help but feel a little flustered.
“Revenia must be physically immune, right?
His attack was strong enough to kill her in three hits, but it was clearly a physical attack, and Revenia was immune to physical attacks. No, it wasn’t just immunity. Rather, she was healed by physical attacks.
“Uh, how did you kill it?
Radis pondered how Ming Hu had killed Revenia, but the more he thought about it, the less he understood. A hint of anxiety crept into her normally confident face.

Inside the 40-square-foot white room, there were two beings currently living there.
“Whoa. Damn.”
The robed one of the two beings sighed and cursed. Then the armored one, who had been meditating next to him, opened his eyes and said, “I’m sorry.
“Karot, why but?”
“Sorry, I interrupted your meditation.”
At the words of the armored being, Prominus, Karoth gave an apologetic look.
“Nope. I was just finishing up. Is something bothering you?”
“It’s just… I found out I’m really weak, so…”
At Karot’s words, Prominus shook his head and asked again.
“What does that mean?”
“You know that feeling of dying every time you’re summoned, that feeling…”
Karot trailed off.
“Well…”
Prominus grunted at Karot’s words. Then he continued.
“I’m sorry, but. I’ve never been summoned before, so I don’t know.”
“Oh. I’m sorry.”
Karot said, looking puzzled at Prominus’ sullen face.
“Nope. I’m sure you’ll summon me one day.”
“I’ll tell you the next time I’m summoned.”
“Thanks, but I’ll take your heart.”
Karrot shook his head slightly at Prominus’ smile, then a thought occurred to him and he opened his mouth to speak.
“But what happened to that wall you saw?”
Prominus smiled broadly at Karotte’s words. Karotte looked slightly surprised at his reaction.
“Are you kidding me?”
“Yes.”
Prominus said, giving Karot an envious look.
“I wish. I can’t get stronger without catching monsters.”
“Heh heh, what’s the point of being so strong, I can’t even get summoned.”
At Karot’s words, Prominus’s wide smile turned sullen. Seeing the sullen expression on Praminus’ face, Karot spoke again.
“W-would you like me to tell you?”
“Haha, thanks, but I’ll take the heart.”
Karot could feel Prominus smile again.
“I’m hoping…
Prominus said that he would only accept hearts, but by the tone of his voice, he seemed to want him to speak. Karot resolved to tell him about Prominus the next time he was summoned.
