Chapter 262

“…What’s the picture?”
“I don’t think that’s graffiti.”
Minghu and Minhyung slowly began to examine the painting.
“Don’t you think it’s a demon?”
Ming Hu, studying the painting, asked.
“Uh, I think they’re all demons.”
Minhyung nodded in agreement with Myunghoo’s question.
Sigh
Ming Hu glanced at the paintings on the wall once more. There were many demons on the wall, some with eyes all over their bodies, some breathing fire, some with only one wing, and so on. I had no idea what they were.
That was the moment.
“Uh, Dad, it’s a picture of an earthworm!”
Ming Hu, who had been studying the demons on the wall, turned his head at Lapid’s shout and looked toward Lapid. A few feet away, Lafydd was pointing at the cave wall and smiling broadly.
Jumbled
“Earthworms?
Ming Hu walked over to where Rafid stood.
“…!”
Soon arriving at the place where Lapid was, Ming Hu looked at the wall and couldn’t help but be a little surprised when he saw the painting on the wall.
“Maltario!
The worm that Rafid was referring to was Maltario. On the wall, there was a picture of a worm with eyes and a mouth.
Sigh
After confirming that Maltario was depicted, Ming Hu scanned the wall once more. After scanning the entire wall, Ming Hu realized one thing.
“Did the demons and Maltario fight?
Upon closer inspection, you realize that there are many demons drawn near Maltirio. They were all attacking Maltario, and Maltario was attacking the demons that were attacking him.
“Karot.”
Maybe Karot knows something? Ming Hu thought, and called for Karot.
-Yes, sir.
“Do you happen to know anything about this mural?”
-…
At Ming Hu’s words, Karot began to examine the murals, and after a while, when he had examined them all, he looked at Ming Hu and said.
-Sorry.
“Hmmm.”
At Karot’s words, Ming Hu cleared his throat and looked at the Chapter.
“I think there’s something there, but…
It was the lair of the former demon king Makusa den Kurza. It was not going to be a simple mural.
“I can’t figure it out…
But I couldn’t figure out what the mural meant or why it was painted the way it was.
“Let’s go.”
Curious about the mural, but remembering that there was no way to find out, and no time for this, Ming Hu turned away from it and began to walk back inside.
“That’s a really long drawing…
As they walked inside, Ming Hu glanced sideways to check the walls of the cave. He had been walking for a while, but he could still see the Chapter.
“…huh?
Jab!
Just when he thought it was long enough, Ming Hu was forced to stop walking by a mural that came into view.
“Angel?
The Chapter depicted a being with white wings that was not a demon as she had seen before. The white-winged being, presumably an angel, looked benevolent despite being a mural, but that thought flew out the window the moment he saw its expression.
“You look like…
The white-winged being was laughing, and it wasn’t the only one. Just as I had felt benevolence before I saw the expression, I felt a sense of badness afterward, as if it was laughing at everything.
“What’s wrong?”
When Myung Hu stopped walking, Min Hyung asked. In response to Minhyung’s question, Myung Hu pointed to the white wings.
“This.”
Sigh
“Huh? You’ve changed, but what’s with the expression?”
“So… You look like an angel or something…”
Myung-hoo wasn’t the only one who found the expression strange. Minhyung also found the expression strange.
“Let’s go.”
After chatting with Minhyung for a while, Ming Hu glanced at the white-winged being one last time and started walking again. After the white-winged being, there was no more of the mural.
Jumbled
-My lord, something is coming up ahead.
Ming Hu, who had been walking inward, slowed slightly at Prominus’ words and stared ahead. The light from the lantern brightened his surroundings, but he couldn’t see the approaching thing Prominus had spoken of. It seemed to be out of the lantern’s range.
Rectangle… Rectangle…
But then I started to hear an ear-tickling sound up ahead. It was similar to the sound of crunching snow. Slowing down, but continuing to walk steadily forward, Ming Hu soon found the source of the sound.
[The high-level demon ‘Rebun Pun Kelzad’ has appeared].
“Another high level demon?
The source of the deafening sound was a high-level demon. Ming Hu looked at Rebun Pun Kelzad. Rebun Pun Kelzad was unlike any demon he had ever seen before. It wasn’t as tall as a lich, but it had bony skin, and blue light emanated from its eyes.
“So the Demon King was right, humans are here. Kklkl, I can’t believe humans have come here.”
Ming Hu thought as he listened to Rebun’s mutterings.
“Demon King? You mean Makusa?
It was definitely a demon, he said. However, the demon did not seem to be referring to Rakuza. The demon Rebun was referring to was Makusa Den Kurza, a former demon of the Seven Realms.
“Klinkle, dragons and lich, what a strange party. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten good ingredients. Klinkle.”
After a moment of thought, Ming Hu was interrupted by a voice in his ear and turned to look at Rebun Pun Kelzad.
“I wonder how many more there are…
Rebun was unlikely to be the only one. I couldn’t be sure, but I suspected there were a few more high-level demons.
“They’ll come as they go.
No matter how many there were, we were going to encounter them as we headed inward.
“You’re on track.”
Ming Hu gave orders to Karot and Prominus, then started walking, closing the distance between him and Rebun.
Jumbled
“Appear, Chapter!”
Ming Hu was closing the distance when he heard Le Bun’s shout, and he ran quickly.
Siaak
Immediately after Rebun’s shout, a small flame flared up in front of him, and soon a giant demon with a roaring body appeared.
-Master, this is Barudas, the 6th Gatekeeper of Hell, and he is impervious to physical attacks!
As he ran toward Rebun, Ming Hu turned to see the demon Barudas, summoned by Karot’s shout from behind him. Barudas’s body was made of fire. It seemed that Karot’s words were true, and his punch would not work.
“It doesn’t matter anyway.
But it didn’t matter. Ming Hu had no intention of attacking Barudas in the first place. It was a summoned being anyway. Killing the summoner was enough.
-Khahahahahaha!
Fully summoned, Barudas laughed merrily and stretched out his hand toward Ming Hu, who was running toward him. As he stretched out his hand, the flames that made up Barudas’ body flew toward Ming Hu. Ming Hu saw Barudas’s flames flying toward him and thought, “I’m not going to be able to stop them.
“I’ll take a shot at that.
The distance hadn’t closed as much as I wanted yet. I was closing the distance quickly, but it looked like the spark would go off before I got to the desired distance.
Poof! Chapter!
It was as expected. Before he could reach the desired distance, Barudas’s flame exploded in a blaze of fire at Ming Hu.
[You enter Chapter for 1 minute; -3000 health per second]
When Ming Hu saw the message, he quickly checked his shaved health.
“Fifty thousand.
50,000 health was taken away. Of course, it didn’t take long for the health to return. I turned my gaze to Barudas, figuring that I wouldn’t have to worry about that after I checked my health.
-Khahahaha!
Barudas laughed again, a boisterous laugh, and swung his hand. Sparks began to fly, and they were even bigger than before.
“Moving Strike.”
But Ming Hu, having already closed the distance as much as he wanted, used a traveling strike to move in front of Rebun, who was ducking behind Barudas.
“Kll…hut!”
Rebun, who had been watching the situation from the back with a smirk on his face, gulped at the sudden appearance of Ming Hu and swung his staff quickly.
Swoosh!
A shield appeared around Rebun.
Boom!
And then Ming Hu’s fist crashed down on it. The shield vanished with a roar as quickly as it had appeared.
“Sigh.”
Rebun groaned in pain as the shield was destroyed once and for all, and swung his staff again. Rebun’s body began to blur.
“Bloody explosion.”
After destroying the shield, Ming Hu threw another punch, and as Rebun’s body blurred, he quickly cast Blood Blast.
“Crack!”
Rebun’s body blurred with a scream of relief, and then became clear again. At the same time, Ming Hu’s fist slammed into Rebun.
Puck!
“Bam!”
Rebun’s body bent like a bowstring as his fist exploded, and a message popped up.
[You have defeated the high-level demon ‘Rebun Pun Kelzad’].
[400,000 prestige].
When Ming Hu saw the message, he thought it was over and looked at Rebun, who was slumped against his fist.
Sigh
Ming Hu withdrew his fist, and Rebun, who was leaning on it, fell forward.
That was the moment.
-Khahahahaha!
Bam! Chapter!
[You are in Chapter for 1 minute; -4500 health per second]
Ming Hu was about to pick up the item Rebun had dropped when he felt a warm sensation behind him and frowned at the message that appeared. Ming Hu turned around. Barudas was smirking and shaking his fist.
“Didn’t you get a reverse recall?
Barudas did not disappear when the summoner died.
‘No way. A fixed summon.’
Apparently, it was a fixed summon, which means that the summoner is dead or alive, and cannot be re-summoned until a certain time.
Bam! Chapter!
Bam! Chapter!
Barudas continued to throw sparks, and the sparks continued to sting Ming Hu. When Ming Hu saw Barudas’s sparks stinging him, he approached Barudas and began to punch him.
Chapter.
As expected, Ming Hu’s fist passed through Barudas’s body. Naturally, no physical attack could do any damage.
-Khahahaha!
Barudas laughed even harder, as if Ming Hu’s attack hadn’t been enough, and sparks flew. That was the moment.
Support!
A spark ignited near Ming Hu’s fist, creating a force field 5 meters across.
-Khahahahaaaaaah!
Barudas’s boisterous laughter turned into a scream, followed by a message.
[6 Barudas, the gatekeeper of Hell, has been reverse-summoned].
