Chapter 199

Soon afterward, Ming Hu arrived at the Warp Gate and traveled three warps to Hemb, a town near the Barton Mountains.
“It’s busy.”
Emerging from the Warp Gate in a deserted atmosphere, Ming Hu began to walk out of the town to make his way to the Barton Mountains.
‘Wait… Do you want me to take Delay with me?
Then a thought occurred to Ming Hu and he stopped walking. The rewards weren’t diminished by the number of people completing the quest.
“Let’s take Minhyung with us.
Deciding to bring Minhyung along as well as Ji-yeon, Myung-hoo opened the Friends window. Seeing that Minhyung had entered, Myung-hoo immediately whispered to her.
-Gold to Jungseok: Minhyung.
-Goldstone: Uh, Minghu.
-Goldstone to Goldstone: Did you get the quest in the temple?
-Goldstone: Quest? No, I haven’t gotten it yet.
-Goldstone: Then take the Annihilation quest and come to Hembro.
-Goldstone: Extermination Quest? Demon Extermination Quest?
At Minhyung’s surprised whisper, Myung-hoo smirked and whispered back.
-Goldsmith: Uh, the Demon Extermination quest. I’m going to get the demon.
-Goldstone: Holy shit, do you know where the devil is?
-Goldsmith to Goldsmith: Okay, take the Annihilation quest and come to Hembro. I’m going to talk to Delay for a while.
-Goldstone: Okay, I’m on my way!
At Minhyung’s whisper, Myung-hoo immediately logged out, stepped out of the capsule, grabbed his cell phone, and called Ji-yeon.
Turuluru
-Yes, Minghu!
Ming Hu smiled and opened his mouth to speak when he heard Jie’s voice.
“Delay, where are you?”
-Me? Wait!
“Yes.”
At Delay’s words, Ming Hu waited a moment. It was then.
smart
“…?”
There was a knock on the door. Ming Hu looked at the door with a puzzled expression.
smart
When Ming Hu heard the knock again, he went to the door and opened it. When Ming Hu opened the door, he was surprised.
“…Huh, Delay?”
In front of his door stood Ji-yeon, who was talking on the phone. Ming Hu looked at Ji-yeon with a surprised expression, and Ji-yeon pressed the end call button and smiled.
“I’m here to see my mom!”
“Huh? Mom?”
“Yeah, I was about to go, but then the phone rang!”
“Oh, right, call me!”
“Hehe. I’m here to see my mom today!”
Delay laughed again at Ming Hu’s words. Then he continued.
“So what are you calling about?”
“Oh, right. Delay, you know about the Demon Descent, right?”
“Yeah, you’re the hottest thing since sliced bread, but why, did you get a quest about demons?”
“Uh, I found the location of the demon and I’m going to go get him. I was wondering if you’d like to come with me.”
“What?!”
At Ming Hu’s words, Jiayi was stunned. He nodded and began to chant.
“That’s 50 million in merit! I’m going, I’m going, I’m going, when are you going?”
“I’m on my way, do you have an appointment?”
“No, I don’t, I’m going home, I’ll be right in, where do I go?”
“Come to the village of Hemb. I’ll wait for you.”
* * * * *
The 7th Demon Realm Death Swamp, currently Sanssal was hunting ghouls here.
“Death Ball! Death Ball! Death Ball!”
Poof! Poof! Poof!
But something wasn’t right.
“Death Ball! Death Ball! Death Ball!”
Chansal continues to create death balls and attack the ghouls, but the ghouls are unaffected by the attacks.
“Death Ball!”
Poof!
Soon the ghoul began to fall, and with a satisfied grin, Sansal pointed his staff at the fallen ghoul and shouted, “I’m going to kill you.
“Absorption.”
Ouch.
With a sharp cry, a thick black energy flowed from the ghoul’s body and was sucked into the staff.
[You have absorbed the energy of death. Gain 3 hit points].
“Hmm.”
Upon seeing the message, Chansal smirked evilly and opened his character window.
Nationality : Helioca [Empire]
Age: 25 Occupation: Death Wizard
Prestige: 3000
Level: 177
Life: 54000
Mana: 66680
Strength : 300 Dexterity : 40 Constitution : 700(+300) Intelligence : 1684(+700) Wisdom : 1200(+340)
Bonus Stets: 100
“If I keep this up, I’m going to hit 2,000 in no time.”
His hit points, which had been in the low 1600s, were now approaching 1700. With a satisfied smile, he closed his character window, opened his inventory, and muttered to himself as he looked at the token he had received from the demon Agranecto.
“This is… It’s a dog scam item.”

Mark of Agranecto, Demon of Death, if you have it, you gain the following effects
1. cannot be attacked by undead monsters lower in rank than Agranecto.
2. you will become enemies with all users. However, the hostile status will not be displayed.
3. tokens cannot be discarded and are dropped to the user on death.
At first, the option didn’t make sense, but when I tried it, I realized it was a scam. First of all, this is a demonic realm with Agranecto as its master. All of the monsters here were lower tier than Agranecto, and Effect 1 prevented them from attacking him. With a satisfied smile on his face, he looked at the marker and muttered to himself.
“What do I do… I’ll go get some power.”
I didn’t know whether to be encouraged or not.
“No, it’ll take time, but I don’t need to risk being powered by a demon when I don’t have to worry about Stett.”
He had a mark on him. It would take time, but with leveling up and absorbing stats, he would be able to use the Staff of Death someday. There was no point in taking the risk and letting the demon empower him when he didn’t know what the penalty would be.
“…Let’s just think about it later and go hunting.”
Chansal closed his inventory and looked around. Three ghouls were moving in the distance. He pointed his staff at the ghouls and shouted, “I’m coming!
“Death Ball!”
* * * * *
At the entrance to Hemb village, Myung-hoo and Min-hyung were waiting for the delay.
-To Delay: Really?
-Delay: Yes, we’re almost there, we’re on our way.
“Oops, there’s a delay!”
Ming Hu, who had been whispering with Jie Jie at Min Hyung’s shout, turned his gaze toward the center of the village. In the distance, Delay was approaching.
“Hi!”
Ji-yeon soon arrived where Myung-hoo and Min-hyung were and greeted them with a bright smile. Myung-hoo invited Ji-yeon to join the party.
[Delay has joined the party].
“Let’s go!”
Myung-hoo said as he started walking, prompted to join the party. Delay and Minhyung started to walk after him.
“What’s the Black Moon Tower doing anyway, I thought it was a wizard’s tower?”
Delay asked.
“Yes, the Wizard’s Tower, where the Death Eaters were.”
Myung-hoo answered Delay’s question. Then Minhyung opened his mouth to speak.
“I thought I’d heard of this place before, but it’s the one where they tried to assassinate you and got backstabbed?”
Ming Hu smiled and nodded at Min Hyung’s words. As they chatted, the group soon reached the Barton Mountains, and shortly afterward, they arrived at the Dark Forest.
“This place is really bad… When are we getting there?”
Jian Chen’s expression hardened slightly as he entered the Dark Forest. Perhaps it was the eerie atmosphere around them.
“We’re almost there, are you okay?”
In response to Ji-yeon’s question, Myung-hoo looked at Ji-yeon with a worried expression. Minhyung frowned wordlessly at the sight of the two of them.
“You’ve arrived.”
Walking through the dark forest, Ming Hu and his party soon arrived at the Black Moon Tower. Ming Hu opened the quest window to check the quest once more.
“At least 50 million in merit.
There were three quests in total, and the only one that listed a reward was the special quest from the temple. Ming Hu smiled and closed the quest window.
“Let’s go in.”
Myeong-hoo turned to Ji-yeon and Min-hyung, who were admiring the tower’s exterior, and opened the door to enter the tower.
[You have entered the Tower of the Black Moon].
Once inside, Ming Hu turned his attention away from the message and began to ascend to the seventh floor, where the warp magic circle connected to the entrance to the demon realm was located. Soon after reaching the seventh floor, Ming Hu and his group arrived in front of the warp magic circle.
Sigh. Ssshhhh.
The magic circle was still emitting an unpleasant black aura, and seeing it, Jie Li frowned.
“…Uh, is that a warp circle?”
“Yeah. You want to come with me?”
“Yes!”
Ming Hu took Jie’s hand and began to walk toward the warp magic circle.
“Ugh, I’m going to have to make a girlfriend.”
Minhyung muttered to himself as he watched them. Hearing Minhyung’s muttering, Myeonghu smirked.
“If you’re envious, go ahead and build it.”
Siaak
As he finished speaking, a black aura enveloped Ming Hu and Jie Li, and with a crackling sensation, Ming Hu and Jie Li warped.
[Hidden Space: You have discovered the entrance to the 7th Demon Realm].
“There it is!”
Jie Li smiled brightly as he finished the warp and saw the message. Smiling at her reaction, Ming Hu turned his attention to the gate to the Demon Realm up ahead.
“…?”
But looking at the door, Ming Hu couldn’t help but panic. To be precise, he was puzzled by something in front of the door.
“What’s that computer?
There was a computer on the doorstep that hadn’t been there before and shouldn’t be in this world.
