Chapter 254

“…Yes?”
Rabus’s words left Ming Hu with no choice but to question.
“We have a guild event. I’ve decided to take control of this place for a while.”
In response to Ming’s half-question, Lavus opened his mouth again, still looking perplexed.
“…”
Ming Hu was speechless at Labus’s words. It was too ridiculous. This wasn’t private property like the Guild House, but control? What kind of nonsense was this?
“There’s somewhere I really need to be.”
Myung-hoo, who had been pondering whether he should say something ridiculous, opened his mouth and said.
“Oh, well, I’m sorry. We have to keep it under control.”
Lavus paused for a moment at Myung Hu’s words, then scratched his head and replied.
“…”
“…”
And with that, there was silence.
-Goldstone: What are you going to do?
Minhyung’s words made Myung-hoo ponder what to do. The atmosphere of Lavus made him feel like he could PK him and stop him. Of course, he wasn’t afraid, but he didn’t need to PK to get inside.
“I can’t help it.
There was one way to get inside without PKing. Myung-hoo looked a little disappointed and whispered to Min-hyung as he opened the friends window.
-Goldenstone to Goldsmith: Hold on, I know a guy in this guild and I’m going to try and punch him in the ear. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just go through him, so get ready.
With that, Ming Hu whispered to Minhyung and looked for Soma in the Friends window. To his relief, Soma was currently in Legendary.
“I told her to let me know if she needed help…
Soma had told her to let him know if she needed any help, and Ming Hu whispered to her that if things went well, she would be able to go to the demon realm without much friction.
[Soma cannot receive whispers].
I whispered, and a message appeared.
“…?
When Ming Hu saw the message, he was puzzled. What does it mean that I can’t receive whispers?
Sigh
Ming Hu looked away from the message to look at Lavus. Lavus was staring at Ming Hu with an expression that was a mixture of bewilderment and coldness.
“Do I even have to say it?
Just because he couldn’t whisper didn’t mean he couldn’t do something. Ming Hu decided to talk to Labus about Soma.
“Do you know Soma by any chance?”
Cringe!
Lavus flinched slightly at Ming Hu’s words. It was clear from the flinch that he knew Soma.
“Yes, I know, but…”
As expected, Lavus knew Soma. Lavus trailed off and looked at Ming Hu. The look in his eyes seemed to demand an explanation of his relationship with Soma. Ming Hu smiled slightly, thinking this might work out, and continued.
“Soma said she’s always here to help if you just ask, but… she’s not whispering right now.”
“Oh.”
At Ming Hu’s words, Lavus let out a short gasp.
“Hold on a second.”
He asked me to wait a moment, then continued speaking and started muttering something into thin air. I was in a position to hear the mumbling, but I couldn’t hear him, so I assumed he was communicating this via guild chat or whispers.
Sigh
Lavus was silent for a moment, but then he nodded and turned to look at Ming Hu with a puzzled expression. Ming Hu could see the confusion in Labus’s eyes as he looked at him, and instantly realized that something was wrong.
“I’m sorry, sir. Soma can’t reach you, and Gilma says we shouldn’t let you in.”
As expected.
-Gold: What are you going to do, go straight there?
Hearing Labus’ words, Minhyung whispered again.
-GoldenStep: I hope so.
It would have been nice to enter without friction, but now that it had happened, friction was unavoidable. Ming Hu whispered to Minhyung and glanced at Lavus.
That was the moment.
“Human, get out of the way and get lost.”
A clear voice came from the side, and Ming Hu turned his head to look at the speaker. It was a girl, as expected. The girl was looking at Lavus with an expression of disapproval.
‘Oh, right… A dragon.’
Even if it was Hetzling, the girl was a dragon. As a dragon, she would naturally feel bad if a human was blocking her path. Ming Hu turned his gaze away from the girl and looked at Lavus.
“…?”
Lavus looked back and forth between Ming Hu and the girl with a slightly puzzled expression.
“We apologize.”
Ming Hu smiled slightly at Lavus, who looked back and forth between himself and the girl.
“…!”
Lavus, looking a little surprised by Ming Hu’s words, put his hand to the sword at his waist. Then he began to mutter rapidly. As expected, the muttering was inaudible.
“Let’s go.”
There was no need to whisper anymore. Minhyung smiled at Myeonghu’s words.
“Moving Strike.”
Ming Hu used a traveling strike to move in front of Lavus, who was muttering to himself in a foot-sword stance. The sudden appearance of Ming Hu startled Lavus, who quickly parried.
Puck!
But Lavus’s fist was faster than his sword. Ming Hu’s fist struck, and Lavus was instantly killed. Of course, there was no message that hostilities had begun.
“The proof is…
He was already at odds with all users due to Agranecto’s proof option 2.
“Wow. You’re really good.”
Minhyung nodded in anticipation and approached Myung-hoo.
“Wow, Dad, you’re so fast!”
“How do you…”
Rapid and the girl also opened their mouths to speak and followed behind Minhyung.
“Hold on.”
Ming Hu spoke to Minhyung, Rapid, and the girl who had arrived behind him, opened the pet window, and summoned his two pets, Karotte and Prominence.
-Did you call.
-Meet your master.
The summoned Karot and Prominus immediately bowed to Ming Hu.
“Hello. Guys!”
Lapid exclaimed with a wide smile as Karot and Prominus appeared. Already familiar with the two, Lafydd had no hesitation in dealing with them, but not the girl.
“…!”
Hoo-dah!
The summoned Karotte and Prominus, or to be more precise, the girl who saw Karotte, quickly stepped back.
“Ah..Ark Rich!”
He exclaimed, looking very surprised, and looked at Karot nervously.
-…?
Karot was puzzled by the girl’s reaction. The girl looked at Ming Hu in disbelief at Karotte’s reaction, and Ming Hu looked at her in disbelief. Ming Hu smirked as the girl looked at him.
“That’s my guy.”
“…?”
The girl gave Ming Hu a look like she didn’t understand what he meant. It seemed that she didn’t understand the meaning. But even then, the girl understood for a moment, then looked back and forth between Ming Hu and Karot with a look of disbelief. When the girl seemed to understand, Ming Hu resumed walking and said, “I’m sorry.
“Deal with anyone who gets in your way.”
-Agreed, sir.
-Yes, my lord.
Karot and Prominence replied to Ming Hu’s words. Minhyung, who could not be said to be capable of combat, Lapid, who was smiling, and the girl, who still had a puzzled expression on her face, said nothing.
Jumbled
With that, Ming Hu and the others began to walk toward the Black Moon Tower.
“…I thought you were asking for support?
As Ming Hu walked toward the tower, he was puzzled to see no one blocking his path. He thought Lavus’s muttering was a call for help, but it didn’t seem to be.
That was the moment.
“This is awesome.”
Ming Hu couldn’t help but wonder at Min Hyung’s mutterings. What does he mean by a jackpot?
“What?”
“Well…”
At Myung Hu’s question, Minhyung trailed off, glancing at Karot and Prominence, then back at Myung Hu, before continuing.
“Those two are killing the Pacific Guilds, those hostile status messages are no joke.”
“…What?”
Minhyung’s words surprised Ming Hu. It wasn’t as if there were no one in his way; Karotte and Prominus were dealing with him before he could see them.
“Yeah, that’s how it used to be.
Back in the day, you could kill a Sharpshooter in the Tower of the Black Moon without being seen, just like now.
“That’s a little uncomfortable.
The markings prevented hostile status messages from popping up, which meant that Karot and Prominus didn’t know who they were killing. While this was a good thing, it was not without its inconveniences.
Jumbled
After a short walk, Ming Hu and his party arrived at the Black Moon Tower. Ming Hu immediately opened the door and stepped inside.
[You have entered the Tower of the Black Moon].
Once inside, a message appeared.
-…bam!
-…hmmm.
At the same time, Karotte and Prominus let out a grunt.
“…Why?”
When Karotte and Prominus suddenly let out their saliva at the same time, Ming Hu asked them what was wrong. It wasn’t Karotte and Prominus who answered Ming Hu’s question. It was the girl. The girl exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and fear.
“…Demons!”
“Demons?”
What do you mean, a demon? What do you mean, a demon? Karot opened her mouth to reply to Ming Hu’s half-question.
-The Demon Realm is now… A demon is crossing over. Judging by its strength, it is at least a mid-level demon.
“…!”
Karot’s words surprised Ming Hu a bit.
“Already?
I had no idea that there would be demons already, much less intermediate ones.
That was the moment.
[The superior demon ‘Arudosa de Penec’ has crossed into Middle-earth].
