Chapter 201

“…Ah!”
Kim Mu-woong exclaimed in surprise at Jang Moo-yeol’s words.
“…?”
“…?”
Jang Moo-yeol and Joon-hyuk looked at Kim Mu-woong with puzzled expressions. Kim Mu-woong still looked at Jang Moo-yeol with a surprised expression and exclaimed, “I’m sorry.
“That user! Blackcode!”
Jun Hyuk was still puzzled by Kim Mu Woong’s shout. But it wasn’t Jang Moo-yeol.
“…Oh, and that user’s character name is Mifu!”
Zhang Muyeol looked at the monitor with a surprised expression and continued.
“But is it the same user? Maybe they have the same character name.”
“Yeah, it could just be another user with the same character name, but how likely is that? I think it’s the same person.”
At Kim Mu-woong’s confident expression, Jang Moo-yeol shook his head and said.
“But what if it’s the same person?”
“…Huh?”
Kim Mu-woong was puzzled by Jang Moo-yeol’s words. When he thought about it, being the same person didn’t mean he had to or could do anything.
“You played so quietly, even if it’s the same person, I think I’ll just let it slide based on how you’ve been playing.”
Initially, I thought he was going to make some kind of a big splash because he had a black code, so I tried to reach out and talk to him, but contrary to my expectations, he didn’t brag about having a black code, or make any kind of a big deal out of it.
“Right, but…”
Nodding at Jang Moo-yeol’s words, Kim Mu-woong trailed off and looked back at the monitor before continuing.
“Why am I so anxious… I feel like the devil is about to catch me.”
“Poof, dude, even if you have the black code, you’re a demon, a demon. I’ll take three of you, not a hundred.”
“Sure, I’m probably worrying about nothing, right?”
“Yeah, man. Don’t worry about it, I’ll report this to Master first?”
* * * * *
Entering the demon realm, Ming Hu muttered to himself as he took in the sights around him.
“This is the demon world.”
“This is a better atmosphere than I thought.”
“It’s Middle Earth, except for the color of the sky.”
I expected it to have a dreary, dark atmosphere, as it was inhabited by the Demon of Death, but contrary to my expectations, the atmosphere of the demon world was bright. Except for the gray skies, it was no different from Middle-earth.
“But where are we supposed to go?”
Delay asked.
“The goal is to capture the Demon King. I think we should go to the Demon Castle, but we don’t know where it is.”
You came to the Demon Realm to destroy the Demon King. The problem was that no one knew the location of the demon castle where the demon was supposed to reside.
“Why don’t I just walk around and see if I can find it? It’s nine days away anyway.”
Minhyung’s words made Myeonghu and Jie Jie nod. They didn’t have to go to the Demon King’s Castle right away. There were still nine days to go.
That was the moment.
Squeak… Squeak. Squeak.
A bone-crunching sound came from up ahead. Ming Hu, Jie Li, and Min Hyung quickly stopped walking and looked in the direction of the sound.
“Skeleton?”
Skeletons were rising from the ground, presumably skeletons. Ming Hu couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw the skeletons that had fully emerged. Ming Hu wasn’t the only one. Jie Li and Min Hyung also shook their heads when they saw the skeletons that had fully emerged.
“I don’t think it’s a skeleton.”
“Isn’t it a little strange to call it a skeleton? A little weird, don’t you think?”
At first, I thought it was a skeleton, but when it was fully revealed, I didn’t think it was a skeleton. It was unusually large for a skeleton.
“It has wings?”
“Does the skeleton have wings?”
It wasn’t just a giant. On the skeleton’s back, bony wings appeared.
“That’s weird, and I don’t think they’re all boss or champion monsters.”
If there were more than one or two of them, you might think they were boss or champion monsters, but there were more than one or two of them.
“It’s a monster, let’s get it.”
But the fact remained that it was a monster that needed to be captured. Ming Hu began to approach the skeleton, which slowly began to move.
That was the moment.
[Karot wants to be summoned].
When Ming Hu saw the message, he couldn’t help but stop walking.
“Let me get my pet for a second.”
Stopping in his tracks, Myung-Hoo turned to Ji-Yeon and Min-Hyung and opened the pet window to summon Karot.
Siaak
Karot was summoned, and the summoned Karot looked around.
-Ohh…
Looking around, Karot exclaimed at the approaching skeletons.
“Do they know what it is?
By his reaction, Karot seems to know the skeleton’s identity.
-Master.
Karot looked at the skeleton, then back at Ming Hu and said.
-Do you mind if I absorb them?
“Absorption?
Karot’s words made Ming Hu realize why Karot wanted to summon him. Apparently, he could absorb skeletons like the mages of the Black Moon Tower.
“Uh-uh, you can absorb it.”
There was no reason to object. Ming Hu quickly nodded his head and said, “I have no objection.
-Thank you, then…
Karot nodded at Ming Hu and turned back to the skeletons. The skeletons had gotten quite close during their conversation. Karot raised his staff and pointed it at the skeletons.
Siaak
A massive magic circle appeared at the skeletons’ feet and began to emit black energy, enveloping them.
Squeak… Squeak. Squeak.
The black energy began to immobilize the skeletons. Karot swung her staff once more at the immobilized skeletons.
Squeak squeak squeak squeak
A vast number of black orbs began to appear around the skeletons, each one much larger than the one before the awakening.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Soon the black orbs began to explode, and soon the skeletons began to slowly fall.
Siaak
From the bodies of the fallen skeletons, the black aura we had seen before emanated and flew toward Karot, who began to absorb it.
[Karot absorbed energy and gained 100 hit points].
[Karot absorbed energy and gained 100 hit points].
.
.
[Karot absorbed energy and gained 100 hit points].
[Karot absorbed energy and gained 100 hit points].
Ming Hu smiled in satisfaction at the sequence of messages and opened the pet window to see Karot’s stats window.
Name: Karot [Arc Lich]
Power: 1500
Agile: 2000
Health: 3000
Stamina: 12900
Wisdom: 9000
“900, that’s good.”
His health had increased by 900 from before he was absorbed. Ming Hu thought as he closed the pet window and approached the fallen skeletons.
“Did anything drop?
Undead monsters had a terrible drop rate, with almost no items dropping at all. If they did drop an item, it wasn’t worth much.
“Just in case.
Still, Ming Hu goes to check it out, just in case. Every once in a while, the undead monsters would drop an item that could be considered a jackpot.
“Nothing.”
After checking to see if any items had been dropped, Ming Hu was disappointed to find that the just-in-case scenario hadn’t happened. Despite catching nine of them, not a single item dropped.
“Anything?”
Minhyung, who followed behind, asked.
“Yeah, it’s Undead Mons, so the drop rate is a little off.”
“Too bad.”
Myung-hoo’s words made Min-hyung look wistful. That was the moment.
Siaak
Karot, who was far away, uses Blink to move in front of Ming Hu.
“…?”
Ming Hu looked at Karot with a puzzled expression at his sudden behavior.
-Master… A human is approaching from the front.
Karot’s next words left Ming Hu bewildered. Humans? This is the demon realm. Humans weren’t supposed to be here.
“…Human? Are you sure?”
Ming Hu asked, and Karot nodded.
-Yes, they have the same aura as the wizards we saw in the old tower.
“What?”
Karot’s answer surprised Ming Hu.
“Wait…
But then a thought popped into his head, and Ming Hu looked in the direction Karot was staring.
“Isn’t that the user?
Ming Hu, the user who opened the Demon Realm Gate and shortened the time of the Demon Descent, thought that the approaching humans were likely to be a quick kill.
-Kill?
Karot asked. Ming Hu shook his head.
“No, let’s go.”
It didn’t matter if the approaching humans were deadly or not. From Karot’s words, it was clear that the human was not that powerful, and its presence here meant that it might have something special. After a while, Ming Hu stopped walking. In the distance, the human Karot had spoken of was approaching.
“…”
The approaching humans also saw Ming Hu’s group and stopped walking. Ming Hu saw the human’s bewildered expression and exclaimed, “What are you doing?
“Excuse me, are you… Mr. Chansal?”
The human, who looked bewildered by Ming Hu’s shout, flinched greatly, then opened his mouth and shouted.
“…Who are you?”
