Chapter 251

* * * * *
“Wow, there are a lot of people!”
Arriving at the temple, Ming Hu looked toward the entrance at Rafid’s words.
Woof, woof, woof
True to Rafid’s word, a huge crowd was already lined up at the entrance to the temple.
“It must be the quest…
The temple was usually well-traveled, but there wasn’t a line like there was now. They must have seen the message and rushed to the shrine to check the quest.
“Let’s go this way.”
Seeing that the line was getting longer and longer, Ming Hu said something to Rapid and the girl and turned and began to walk along the wall of the temple. After walking along the wall for a while, Ming Hu soon arrived at the back door of the temple. Ming Hu smiled to himself as he walked to the back door.
“High contribution… this is good.
Naturally, the back door wasn’t open to everyone. If everyone could use it, there would be no reason for so many people to be lined up at the front door. To use the back door, you had to be a 50,000+ contributor.
“Oh, you must be Minghu.”
The paladin guarding the back door spotted Ming Hu and called out to him. At the paladin’s call, Ming Hu turned to look at him. Not surprisingly, he didn’t recognize him. This had happened before, so Ming Hu stopped walking, smiled, and opened his mouth to speak.
“Oh, yeah. hello.”
“May Elgav be with you…”
The paladin smiled back at Ming Hu and bowed slightly. Then he stepped aside to let Ming Hu pass.
Jumbled
As the paladin stepped aside, Ming Hu resumed walking and entered the temple through the back door.
“It’s the same place, right?
Upon entering the temple, Ming Hu remembered where he had received the quest before. He wasn’t sure, but he thought he could get the quest there again, so he walked straight to it.
“My lord!”
As Ming Hu walked toward the quest, he stopped in his tracks when he heard a voice calling out to him from behind, and he turned around to see who it was.
“…High Priestess?
The voice was Onax, the high priest of the Temple of Elgav, who soon arrived before Ming Hu and smiled.
“There you are, we’ve been waiting for you.”
“Wait?
Ming Hu was puzzled by Onax’s statement that he had been waiting.
“You can’t be…
However, Ming Hu soon remembered what had happened and looked at Onax with disbelief.
“Is it possible that…”
“Yes, Elgav would like to speak with you.”
I didn’t think so, but it was.
“Do you want to talk?”
“Yes.”
At Onax’s words, Ming Hu nodded in agreement. If the god wanted to talk, there was no reason to refuse.
“Those kids…”
Onax trailed off at Myung-Hoo’s reply, glancing at Rapid and the girl standing beside him.
“This is my son, this is…”
Realizing that he hadn’t introduced Rafid and the girl, Ming Hu trailed off as he looked at the girl after introducing Rafid. But after a moment, he opened his mouth to speak.
“I’m taking over for a while.”
“Oh, I see.”
Onax smiled.
“Hello!”
Then Rafid bowed his head in greeting. Of course, the girl standing next to him showed no sign of returning the greeting, merely staring at Onax with a stern face.
“Are you playing hardball here?”
Ming Hu asked Onax, and Onax shook his head.
“No, let’s go to my room.”
After all, it was not a place of great power. Ming Hu began to walk, following behind Onax, who walked ahead of him. After a while, they reached the room, and Onax opened his mouth to speak.
“Now you’re going to have to…”
But Onax wasn’t done talking.
Siaak
A blue glow appeared around Onax’s body and began to hover.
“Aah, do you hear me?”
He could tell from the clear voice that Elgav was in good spirits.
“Yes, I can hear you.”
“Okay, that sounds great, let’s get right to the point…”
Elgav smiled at Myung Hu’s comment that it sounded good, and continued, but then stopped speaking.
“…?”
When Elgav stopped speaking, Ming Hu looked at him questioningly. Elgav wasn’t looking at Ming Hu. He was looking at Rafid and the girl standing beside him.
“Ho-ho… what is this combination?”
Letting out a short exclamation, Elgav glanced back and forth between Rafid and the girl.
“A dragon and a human, not a dragon and a human.”
Being the god he is, Elgav quickly realized the identity of Rafid and the girl.
“…?”
“…”
Lafydd shook his head at Elgav’s words, and the girl looked at him expressionlessly.
Sigh
After looking at Rafid and the girl for a moment, Elgav turned his attention back to Ming Hu.
“You are an amazing human being in so many ways.”
Elgav smiled as he said this, then continued.
“Anyway, to cut to the chase, the reason I asked to talk to you… It’s because of the 7th Demon Realm. You do know that the gates of the 7th Demon Realm have been reopened, right?”
That’s what I came here for.
“Yes.”
Ming Hu nodded in response to Elgav’s words. In response to Ming Hu’s answer, Elgav opened his mouth again and spoke.
“I’m just as puzzled as you are, but the opening of the gates to the Seven Realms has nothing to do with the will of the Demon King. Rakuza, who has gained control of the Seven Realms after Agranecto’s destruction, has no intention of descending into the Middle Realm, as he hasn’t yet gained full control of the Seven Realms.”
Elgav’s next words made Myung-hoo realize that what Min-hyung had described as a possible situation had actually happened.
“So… why?
So why did Ch’uanshan open the gates of the Demon Realm? Ming Hu was very curious as to what had prompted Shi Yan to open the gates of the Demon Realm again. This wasn’t the only question he had.
“I don’t plan on descending… what is this quest?
From Elgav’s words, it seemed that Rakuza had no intention of descending. I wondered what special quests I could get from the temple.
“The problem is…”
Ming Hu stopped thinking and looked at Elgav as he trailed off. Judging by the way he trailed off, he was about to say something very important.
“Not the devil, but the demons and fiends of the seven realms.”
“…?”
Ming Hu couldn’t help but wonder at Elgav’s words, “Demons and fiends?
“They’re trying to get into Middle-earth through an open door.”
“…Demons and fiends?”
“Yes.”
The moment Elgav’s words ended, Ming Hu knew what the quest from the temple was and who he was supposed to catch.
‘Demon… Demon…’
It wasn’t a demon to catch.
“So you wanted to see me because…”
Ming Hu looked at Elgav and trailed off. Elgav nodded and began to respond to Ming Hu’s words.
“Yeah, I want you to keep them from coming over.”
<Demons and Demon Beasts of the Seven Realms Beyond the Gate
7 The gate from the Demon Realm to Middle-earth has been reopened. The gate is open, but the demon king Rakuza has no intention of descending. The problem is the demons and fiends of the Seven Realms. They have rebelled against the New Demon King Rakuza and are attempting to cross into Middle-earth through the open gate. Stop them and preserve the peace of Middle Earth!
[Maltario: 0 / 1].
[makusa den kurza: 0 / 1].
Difficulty Level: S
Quest Reward: Mark of Elgav
As Elgav finished speaking, the quest appeared.
"Maltario? Makusa den Kurza?
When Ming Hu saw the quest requirements, he shook his head.
"Are they the bosses?
The creatures you'll have to deal with this time are demons and fiends. Apparently, the two required to complete the quest were their leaders or special beings.
Sigh
Ming Hu glanced down at the quest requirements to see the quest reward.
"The Mark of Elgav?
The reward was the Mark of Elgav. After checking his reward, Ming Hu opened his inventory and saw the Mark of Agranecto, which he had gotten from killing the previous Sharpshooter.

Mark of Agranecto, Demon of Death, if 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 will not be displayed.
3. tokens cannot be discarded and are dropped to the user on death.
The one and only Demigod item that Ming Hu has.
“Is this similar to…
Elgav was a god. Since the Mark of the Demon was a Demigod item, it was likely that the Mark of the God was also a Demigod item.
“Do you want to block it?”
When Ming Hu was silent, Elgav asked again. At Elgav’s words, Myung Hu closed his inventory, looked at Elgav, and opened his mouth.
“Yes.”
I was thinking of going to the Demon Realm anyway. Besides, there was no reason to say no to a demigod item.
[You have accepted the quest].
Soon, an acceptance message popped up, and Elgav smiled.
“If you get stuck… come here. Then… Good luck!”
[You are blessed by Elgav].
[Increases health regeneration rate by 200% for 10 days].
[Increases mana recovery rate by 200% for 10 days].
[Increase movement speed by 10% for 10 days].
Srarak
As he finished speaking, a message of blessing appeared, and the blue light faded. Ming Hu turned away from the message and looked at Onax.
“Hehe, how’s the story going?”
“Okay, see you later.”
Ming Hu smiled, bowed to Onax, turned around, and walked out of the room, leaving Lapid and the girl staring after him.
“Hey, you, what the hell!”
As she exited the room, the girl blocked her path and called out. Lafydd’s brow furrowed for a moment at the girl’s exclamation, but he didn’t move, merely glancing at the girl to see how she would react. The girl flinched for a moment at Lafydd’s frown, then continued to speak.
“Do you realize what you just said? I don’t know how strong you are, but you’re up against demons and fiends, and you’re not fighting in Middle-earth, you’re fighting in the demon realm?”
Ming Hu nodded in response to the girl’s incredulous and bewildered expression.
“Yes.”
“…”
At Ming Hu’s words, the girl said nothing. She just stared at Ming Hu blankly. Ming Hu smirked at the girl’s blank stare.
“Let’s go.”
With that, Ming Hu began to walk toward the special quest available at the temple.
