Chapter 204

“What’s wrong, Myung-hoo?”
“Why again? What’s the item?”
Delay and Minhyung said in response to Myeonghu’s reaction. At their words, Myung-hoo turned around and opened his mouth to speak with a dejected expression.
“This is… a demonic warp scroll?”
“…!”
“…!”
Jie and Minhyung couldn’t say anything in response to Minghu’s words. Ming Hu turned his gaze away from them and checked the information on the warp scroll.

A warp scroll that allows you to travel to the demonic castle of Agranecto, the 7th Demon King. Up to 4 people can be transported.
“…Do you want to go straight to it?”
After seeing the information, Myung-hoo looked at Ji-yeon and Min-hyung again.
“Let’s go.”
“Gogo.”
Ji-yeon and Min-hyung nodded in response to Myung-hoo’s words.
“Go back for a minute.”
-Yes, sir.
With Delay and Minhyung approaching, Myeonghu first summoned Karot back.
“Write.”
I then went straight to using warp scroll.
Siaak
Then strange symbols began to pour out of the scroll. The strange symbols poured out of the scroll and began to settle at the feet of Ming Hu, Jie Li, and Min Hyung. Soon, all of the symbols were in place, and they began to spin and emit light.
Boom!
“…Am I here?”
“Is this the Demon Castle?”
“It’s just a castle.”
Myung-hoo, Ji-yeon, and Min-hyung, who had warped to the warp gate of the Demon Castle with the sensation of floating, spoke one word at a time as they watched the sights around the warp gate.
“You might as well summon them both.”
Ming Hu exited the warp gate and opened the pet window to summon Karot and Prominence.
Siaak
-You called, my lord.
-You called, sir.
As soon as Prominus and Karot were summoned, Ming Hu quickly opened his mouth to speak.
“Are there monsters around here?”
At his words, Prominus closed his eyes and Karot glanced around, then opened his mouth at the same time and spoke.
-There are 15 dogs on this floor.
-There are 30 of them right upstairs.
“Wow. Your pets can do this?”
Minhyung said, looking at Prominence and Karot with a surprised expression. Myung-hoo smirked at Min-hyung’s reaction.
“This pet is not easy to get. Anyway, let’s go. Let’s clean up.”
Ming Hu answered and began to walk ahead, followed by Jie, Min Hyung, Prominus, and Karot.
-There are three horses approaching in front of you.
At Prominus’ words, Ming Hu slowed his pace. A moment later, three monsters appeared from up ahead, just as Prominus had said.
“Gross.”
“Uh huh, what kind of monster is that?”
The three monsters had a very disgusting appearance. Delay and Minhyung furrowed their brows at the three disgusting monsters. However, the monsters’ next actions left them puzzled.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh
The monsters stopped and bowed their heads.
“…What’s wrong with him?”
“…What are they?”
Delay and Minhyung said as they watched the monsters’ behavior. But Myung-hoo was just as puzzled.
“Oh, no.
But a thought soon occurred to him, and he opened his inventory to double-check the information on the Mark of Agranecto, a Demigod-ranked item he’d gotten from Sansal before coming here.

Mark of Agranecto, Demon of Death, when you have the Mark, 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 is not displayed.
3. tokens cannot be discarded and are dropped to the user on death.
“It must be because of effect 1.
This was a demon castle, ruled by the demon king Agranecto, and there was no way there were undead monsters higher than Agranecto here. The monsters were reacting like that because of Effect 1, Ming Hu said as he closed his inventory.
“I think it’s because of the proof of Agranecto I got earlier.”
“Monsters do that?”
“Yes. Effect 1 is that you won’t be attacked by undead monsters lower in rank than Agranecto.”
“Even if we attack?”
“We’ll have to experiment with that.”
At Minhyung’s question, Ming Hu approached the monsters and threw a punch at the one with the most disgusting appearance.
Puck!
-chu…chu…
Shake.
Despite seeing Ming Hu’s fist coming, the monster didn’t move, and it was killed by the punch. Despite the death of their companion, the two monsters standing next to them did not react, except to stare at the fallen monster. Seeing their reaction, Ming Hu opened his mouth to speak.
“They don’t seem to attack when they’re attacked?”
“I see… That was a pretty good item…”
“But only for undead monsters, and user-controlled undead monsters are a different story.”
In response to Minhyung’s words, Minghu punched the remaining two monsters in turn.
-Thousand…Thousand…
-Some…some…
The two monsters died instantly, leaving behind unintelligible screams. Ming Hu checked to see if any items had dropped. Nothing dropped, and Ming Hu continued to walk along the path.
“There they go again! They’re kind of cute! Hehe.”
Soon after, another monster appeared. This one had a very cute appearance compared to the previous ones.
“They’re not attacking anyway, so why not let it go?”
Ming Hu said, as Jie Yi looked at him like he was being cute. Ji-yeon gave him a look that said, “What does that mean?” and shook her head.
“What are you talking about, a monster is a monster, kill it and I’ll kill it!”
With that, a white orb appeared around Delay, and he flew straight toward the monsters.
Siaak
The white orb went straight through the monsters.
whisk whisk whisk whisk
That was the end of it. Ming Hu looked at the cute little monsters that had met their end, smirked at the delay, and started walking again. He was on his way, killing monsters as he went.
-Lord, there’s a monster, no, a demon, coming.
At Prominence’s words, Myung-hoo, Ji-yeon, and Min-hyung stopped walking as if they had made a promise, and began to stare ahead.
Jumbled
A moment later, a demon with clear blue skin came into view. Its hair was down to its waist and it had a very pretty appearance.
Soon, the demon that stopped walking in front of Ming Hu smiled and bowed slightly in greeting before opening his mouth to speak.
“You’re here.”
“…?”
Ming Hu was slightly taken aback by the demon’s words.
“…?”
“…?”
It was the same for Delay and Minhyung. They were now in the Demon King’s Castle, and the demon that was supposed to stop them was greeting them so kindly. Ming Hu thought as he looked at the demon with the kind smile.
“What a bunch of bullshit.
This situation was definitely weird. That’s when the whispers started flying to Ji-yeon and Minhyung.
-Delay: Myung-hoo, what’s going on? Is this a sign effect?
-Goldstone: What’s going on? Are you on a special quest or have a special item?
It wasn’t the effect of a token, nor was it a special quest or an unusual item. Ming Hu quickly answered them both.
-To Jill: No, I’m a little confused too.
-To the Goldsmith: No quests, no unusual items.
After answering, Ming Hu looked back at the demon. The demon looked at Ming Hu with a smile and continued.
“I’ve heard it all from the devil.”
The demon’s next words caused Ming Hu, Jie Li, and Min Hyung to panic again. The three of them had never met the demon before, so what had he told them?
“I was told it was just one person… I guess you had a colleague. Anyway, he asked me to take you to a room as soon as you arrived. I’ll show you around, this way.”
With that, the demon took the lead and began to walk away. Ming Hu watched the demon’s back and thought.
“Are you sure you’re not mistaking me for a flesh-eating bird?
Apparently, the demons had mistaken them for a quick kill. What a ridiculous thing. Jie Li and Minhyung spoke up in quiet voices.
“What are you going to do?”
“Are you coming with me?”
At their words, Ming Hu nodded. Perhaps he was mistaken, but the demon was trying to lead him to the Demon King anyway, and there was no reason not to follow.
“Come with me, I’m taking you to the devil.”
Ming Hu began to walk behind the demon, and as he did so, he and his party were able to see the various monsters roaming around inside the demon castle.
“The Wex are responsible for the cleanliness of our demon castle. Their appearance is far from clean, but their cleaning abilities… It’s incredible.”
Bored with his mouth, the demon explained the monsters. Listening to the demon’s explanation, Ming Hu soon arrived at a giant door. Ming Hu looked at the door and thought.
‘This must be the Devil’s chamber.
We couldn’t be sure, but this was probably the Devil’s chamber.
“Wait.”
The slurred demon pounded on the door and cried out.
“My lord, the visitor you spoke of has arrived.”
It was the devil’s room.
“You’re here already? C’mon, come on in.”
From within came the voice of the demon Agranecto. At Agranecto’s words, the demon smiled at Ming Hu and began to open the door. Ming Hu smiled and turned away from the demon to look inside the open door. Inside, a man was staring at them, and it was clearly the demon Agranecto.
“…Hmm?”
Agranecto frowned at the sight of Myung Hu, Delay, Minhyung, and the two men standing behind him, Prominus and Karot.
“Who are you…? Who are you?”
“Guess who… Hahahaha.”
Ming Hu laughed in response to Agranecto’s words and whispered to Ji-yeon and Minhyung.
-To Delay: When I run forward, you’re starting!
-To Goldilocks: Running forward is the beginning. If you die, don’t come back to life until it’s over.
Ming Hu stopped laughing after the whisper.
“Nice to meet you. Agranecto.”
“Who are you?”
Agranecto said with a sour expression at Ming Hu’s words. At Agranecto’s sullen expression, Ming Hu smiled brightly and exclaimed, “I’m not going to let you down.
“Go!”
With a shout, Ming Hu rushed forward, threw open the door, and threw a punch at the bewildered demon.
Puck!
“Crap! Demon King…”
Shake.
The demon was killed with a single punch. Agranecto turned his gaze from the fallen demon to Ming Hu with a dazed expression, but he should have been quicker to move away.
“Moving Strike!”
Moving forward to Agranecto’s front in an instant via a moving strike, Ming Hu quickly threw a punch and shouted, “I’m going to kill you!
“One punch!”
Puck!
“Kaaaah!”
Agranecto let out a roar of epic proportions, but that wasn’t the end of it.
“Dodge Minghuya!”
“Yes!”
At the sound of Jian Chen’s voice, Ming Hu quickly jumped to the side and looked at Jian Chen. Nine tails had appeared behind him, and around them were countless hearts, white flames, and white orbs.
Swoosh!
Summoned hearts, white flames, and white orbs began to fly toward Agranecto. With their speed and numbers, there was no room to dodge. Unable to focus on Ming Hu’s attack, Agranecto allowed Delay’s attack to continue.
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
“Big, big, big, big!”
The demon groaned in agony as the constant barrage of delayed attacks continued. Karot and Prominus, who were about to do something, stopped and watched, realizing that their interference would do more harm than good. It was the same for Ming Hu.
“Ugh.”
Was it because he was a demon? Or is it because Delay’s attacks are weak? Agranecto showed no signs of dying, even after being attacked for quite some time.
‘You don’t seem to be taking much damage. You must have a lot of health.
Ming Hu knew that Delay’s attacks were not weak. If Agranecto wasn’t dying, it must be because his health was so high. It was then.
[Demon Castle’s magicka is now zero].
“…What?
I got a message that said something I couldn’t understand.
“Minghu, you’re almost out of mana!”
However, the sound of Delay’s voice distracted Ming Hu from the message and he prepared to pounce on Agranecto. The delayed attack was soon over, and Ming Hu quickly lunged at Agranecto and began punching him.
Puck, puck, puck, puck, puck!
“Crack! Bam! Bam! Boom…”
Swoosh!
With a few more punches, a gust of wind erupted from Agranecto’s body, and as his body floated into thin air, a message appeared.
“Awakening?
Ming Hu, who thought he was having a second awakening when he floated up out of thin air, was stunned by the message that followed.
[You have slain the demon Agranecto].
[2 million prestige].
