Three Meals of a Reincarnator

Chapter 99: Episode 99

Min Sung took the Warp Gate straight to New York.

There was quite a distance between the New York Warp gate and the Manhattan assembly. Since the Manhattan assembly was in a dangerous place, most taxis refused to go there, but he managed to find a way.

The employees of the Warp Gate introduced him to a driver.

As a result, Min Sung was able to head to Manhattan in no time.

Unlike Korea, New York’s dark skies were pouring rain.

As he looked out the window, he could hear music on the radio.

The pleasant voice of a black man could be heard along with rhythmical music.

At that moment, Bowl crawled out of his pocket.

Bowl stood on top of Min Sung’s thighs and shook his bottom to the music.

Min Sung, who usually didn’t laugh at anything, chuckled at the sight.

On the other hand, the driver was in shock.

He dripped in cold sweat while doing his best to focus on driving.

***

“General Kim! The hunter is awake. He’s on his way here.”

In response to Ho Sung Lee’s announcement, Ji Yoo Kim’s face brightened up.

“Really? Did he really wake up?”

In response to Ji Yoo Kim’s question, Ho Sung Lee nodded with a smile.

Ji Yoo Kim sighed out of relief and rubbed her chest.

“Phew. What a relief.”

Kim Ji Yoo’s face then stiffened.

“But if Min Sung is coming, won’t there be chaos?”

“Maybe… But I’m sure the hunter will-”

Ho Sung Lee looked at the tower and continued,

“-solve this problem. Isn’t that the most important thing?”

Ji Yoo Kim showed a small smile.

“Not even Min Sung Kang can take care of that tower on his…”

“No.”

Ho Sung Lee refuted.

“The hunter will handle that horrible tower.”

Ji Yoo Kim thought for a moment before showing a smile.

In the eyes of Ho Sung Lee wasn’t a hint of doubt.

He was certain of what he was saying.

***

Ho Sung Lee could be seen running over from the car.

Once the car took off, Ho Sung Lee was in front of Min Sung.

“Sir! You’re here.”

Ho Sung Lee gave him a 90-degree bow.

Min Sung looked past Ho Sung Lee at the Black Tower and frowned.

“Only the first floor is open?”

Ho Sung Lee also glanced at the Black Tower and shook his head.

“Don’t even. That devil is so strong that he killed over a hundred hunters already.”

“Let’s go.”

“… Pardon?”

Ho Sung Lee looked at Min Sung and questioned him.

“Let’s go.”

“Where?”

“The Black Tower. Where else?”

Min Sung put his hands in his pocket and led the way.

***

‘Fuck.’

It wasn’t like he didn’t see it coming, but he didn’t know he would head straight to the tower upon his arrival.

He felt as if he was riding a roller coaster despite being afraid of heights.

He felt his heart sink to the floor.

He should have been used to this feeling by now after hanging around Min Sung Kang, but their destination was the Black Tower of all places.

How could he be used to this?

Ho Sung Lee followed Min Sung in nervousness.

***

Min Sung got on the boat first.

As Ho Sung Lee followed him on, two hunters ran over.

“What do you think you’re doing?”

They didn’t get permission to use the boats.

While Ho Sung Lee stared at them blankly-

“Start the engine,” Min Sung commanded.

In response, Ho Sung pulled the handle to the engine.

Vroom!

The engine started and the boat took off.

“Are you crazy?!”

“Are you trying to die? What are you doing?! Come back!”

The soldiers screamed from a distance.

But they simply watched them as the distance grew further.

Once the soldiers tired out, they shook their heads.

Ho Sung Lee stared on and then put a cigarette in his mouth.

“Since only the first floor is open, you’ll probably be able to catch him. I’m talking about the devil.”

“But you could die.”

Min Sung answered calmly while staring into the ocean and the lightning above it.

Ho Sung Lee took a puff and nodded.

“You’re right. I could die.”

He smoked with a troubled look on his face before continuing.

“Sir, the waves are so calm. They were really rough earlier.”

“I’m controlling them.”

Ho Sung Lee looked up at Min Sung blankly.

“The waves?”

“Yeah. Why?”

“Nothing.”

Ho Sung Lee laughed. He threw out his cigarette and got up.

They were approaching the tower.

***

Min Sung and Ho Sung Lee got sucked into the tower, and as soon as they opened their eyes again, they were inside the tower.

There was no waiting room.

The dungeon began as soon as they entered.

Min Sung walked around the inside of the tower as if it was his living room.

He didn’t feel scared in the slightest bit.

On the other hand, Ho Sung Lee glanced around and kept his guard up.

Min Sung felt like something wasn’t right.

The tower was empty and big.

That was the reason.

“Don’t waste any more time and get out here.”

Min Sung growled the words coldly.

The sound of his voice rang through the entire tower.

***

“-Gasp?!”

Devil Borderer gasped in shock.

He felt shivers up his spine.

“What was that sound?!”

He felt something frightful.

He then used his eye lens to check who it was.

It was two humans.

Did one of them say that?

The sound wasn’t filled with a lot of power.

So why did his body respond so fearfully?

No way-

“Black Slaughterer?”

Devil Borderer gulped.

“No way… But let me check anyway.”

Borderer lifted his hand with a nervous look on his face.

From his hand was a dark and blue force that entered his eye lens.

***

“Two crazies got on a boat and went to the tower.”

In response to the subordinate’s report, the commanders laughed.

“They must be crazy.”

“It sounds like they just want to die. If that’s the case, just leave them be.”

“How could they think to…”

All of the commanders treated Min Sung and Ho Sung Lee like lunatics.

At that moment-

“Which country are the hunters from? Did you check?”

“It sounded like they were Korean.”

Ethan laughed loudly.

“That country is ridiculous.”

Ethan glanced at the subordinate and continued,

“Don’t waste our time with useless reports like that.”

“I apologize, Sir!”

The subordinate apologized and ran out of the tent.

The commanders within the tent dismissed the news of the two hunters and continued their meeting.

***

“This dungeon is different from all the other ones we’ve seen,” Ho Sung Lee remarked.

Min Sung didn’t bother responding.

He simply longed for a meal after a long slumber.

“Wherever we go, they all hide like cowards.”

“You must be really famous, Sir. Even in Hell. Was your nickname Black Slaughterer? That’s what the devil said last time.”

“That’s what they called me,” Min Sung answered dryly as if it was no pleasant memory.

“Not even the world hunters could defeat one devil. So how many of them have you killed that you were given the nickname Slaughterer…”

Ho Sung Lee shook his head.

“Anyway, you’re impressive.”

While he clicked his tongue, Min Sung sensed something.

Something was approaching.

And Min Sung’s senses were correct.

A dark figure appeared while holding a sword.

It was a monster that the Devil Borderer named “Dark Ghost”.

The dark ghost attacked Min Sung with the sword.

In response, Min Sung took out his Orichalcum Sword from his items window.

Fwipppppp!

A white force wrapped around the Orichalcum Sword.

“Are you kidding me…?”

Min Sung expressed his disappointment and threw his Orichalcum Sword around.

Thudddddd!

The force was thrown back at the dark ghosts and wrapped around them.

Bang, bang!

Bangggggg!

A strong wind rushed in.

The ground shattered and the walls cracked.

The bodies of the ghosts shattered into gold sand.

The dark ghosts that hit Min Sung’s sword shattered right in front of his eyes.

Ho Sung Lee watched on while his hair blew in the wind with a blank look on his face.

***

‘T-that’s the Black Slaughterer!’

There was no doubt about it.

Devil Borderer began dripping in sweat.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

He hadn’t felt so nervous since a few years back when he faced off against a high-level devil.

“T-that’s the Black Slaughterer. He’s alive.”

Once he saw his sword causing lightning and thunder, Devil Borderer was certain he was the “Black Slaughterer.

“What do I do? What do I do? I’m the only one on the first floor.”

He trembled in fear.

His only thought was that he didn’t want to go extinct.

“No! I don’t want to go extinct!”

Devil Borderer grabbed his head with his hands.

Tremble, tremble!

He could feel his own body shaking.

His back and neck felt weak as if he had already been stabbed.

The rumors were true.

The rumors about two devils that died.

If that was true, he was going to die as well.

He had to think of a way.

A way to survive.

Devils fed off of death, pain, and chaos.

He jolted his eyes open.

He made his decision.

He decided how he could survive against the “Black Slaughterer”.
