Chapter 110: Episode 110

Min Sung placed the meat on top of the flaming grill.

Tssssss!

Since it was Korean beef, it cooked very quickly.

When it came to beef, it was all about salt.

Min Sung dipped a piece of meat in salt and put it in his mouth.

The strong flavor of the meat and salt took over his mouth. And the meat’s juices combined with the saltiness perfectly and made Min Sung’s heart pound.

“Ah...”

It was so delicious, he was speechless.

Of course.

Since it was the most expensive Korean beef, it was bound to be delicious.

Min Sung chewed on his meat and looked to his right.

He saw seasoned vegetables.

They were vegetables that came from the deep forests of Ohdae Mountain or Jiri Mountain.

And these were vegetables that were truly from Ulleungdo, not from China.

Min Sung wrapped a piece of meat in the vegetables and tasted it.

Chomp, chomp-

“...!”

It was slightly bitter but sweet in an all-round perfect flavor.

‘This is unbelievable.’

He was at a loss for words.

He didn’t know seasoned vegetables could taste so luxurious.

It was sweet beyond words.

While he was in awe over the vegetables, the meat in his mouth disappeared.

Min Sung quickly took another piece of meat from the grill.

Since the meat was soft, it melted in his mouth without the need for much chewing.

And then followed the best part.

He went over to the rib eye.

He put a piece of the beautifully marbled rib eye that was as thick as a steak on top of the grill.

Despite it being thick, it surprisingly cooked quickly.

The scent was at a whole different level from pork belly.

He took the scissors and cut it into little pieces.

And without hesitation, he dipped it in salt and ate it right away.

The way the juices exploded in his mouth felt like fireworks.

He was in awe.

The rib eye was savory with a strong scent that satisfied his senses.

‘It tastes so luxurious.’

All other thoughts disappeared from his mind.

Min Sung continued to put more pieces of meat into his mouth.

“Slurp! Slurp!”

The refreshing and tingling flavor of the Korean beef made for the best fusion synergy.

Min Sung closed his eyes as he chewed the meat.

The flavor entranced him so much that he couldn’t even smile.

It felt as though his body was melting on the frypan.

The meat was worth the money.

It was a meal that was well worth its expensive price.

***

While he thoroughly enjoyed his meal, Bowl crawled out of his pocket and plopped onto the ground.

“Ugh...”

Min Sung stared at Bowl, who was in pain.

“Bowl.”

In response, Bowl got up without much energy.

“Yes, Master.”

“Eat a holystone.”

Min Sung took out a high-quality holystone from his item window and tossed it to him.

Bowl caught it with his mouth and chewed on it.

He then showed a satisfied look on his face and rolled around on the ground.

Min Sung just stared at Bowl.

A very big skull head compared to his small body.

His body and limps were nothing but bone.

If the Lich received too much sunlight, he was going to suffer substantial damage.

He looked perfectly fine until now, so he had no idea.

‘Just wait a little longer.’

‘The clothing is being made as we speak.’

‘I’ll dress you up with a good suit soon.’

***

As soon as Min Sung entered the shop, the clerk greeted him with a smile.

This was a store for shields and accessories that hunters needed.

On the outside, they just looked like clothes, but everything they sold contained magic.

For that reason, the design was also top-notch and so was the quality.

“Hm... How unique. I like it,” the store owner stuttered while looking at Bowl.

Min Sung didn’t reveal that he was a magical doll and gestured at Bowl.

“Where’s the outfit?”

“I made it the way you asked while you were eating, but we made it in a rush, which means the cost will be much higher...”

“I don’t care.”

“Thank you. Before I show it to you, I made the size a little bigger. But I can adjust it to your liking, and it won’t take long.”

“Bowl.”

In response to Min Sung’s calling, Bowl hurried over and stood next to him.

The owner held a tape measure and began measuring Bowl’s body.

The owner quickly adjusted the clothing and brought it out.

“Try it on. It’ll protect you from the sun.”

In response, Bowl excitedly tried on the outfit.

Once he put it on, Ho Sung Lee’s jaw dropped.

“Wow, Bowl. That looks good on you.”

Bowl stood in front of the mirror and stroked his outfit just like his master, Min Sung, did.

Min Sung saw that and smiled.

The black robe made Bowl look more like a Lich.

The dignity of a dark magician was fully represented.

But the truth was, he was cute more than anything.

“I want to order 50 more. How long would that take?”

Min Sung asked.

The owner smiled. The owner checked his schedule and answered,

“Hm... It might take a weak. Is that okay?”

“That’s fine.”

The owner bowed down respectfully.

“Yes, Sir.”

After telling him to contact Ho Sung Lee once it was complete, they left the store.

“I’ll prepare them nicely for you. See you next time!”

The owner bowed at 90 degrees.

As soon as they got out, the roads were empty.

There were many stores used by hunters, but after the dungeon got shut down, there were fewer hunters wandering the streets.

He only saw a few ordinary civilians on the streets.

Min Sung took Bowl and got in the car, and Ho Sung Lee smoked a cigarette before getting into the driver’s seat.

***

The American hunter master, Ethan, sat in a tinted car and looked at the item that he got from the robed man.

His heart pounded with nervousness.

‘Is it okay for me to eat this?’

He had no idea what it was.

However, he was already cornered.

Just as the robed man said, if the effect of the item was good enough, that was his only opportunity to get America’s reputation back.

‘There’s no other way.’

Ethan put the shiny item into his mouth and chewed it.

Its scent was pungent.

Cough!

After swallowing all of it, Ethan waited for it to take effect.

And then he suddenly felt his body swelling up.

“Ugh!”

Ethan’s body straightened up as his neck flipped backward.

“Cough!”

Ethan threw up blood and wriggled his body.

“Ugh...!”

He felt as though someone was squeezing his body dry. His stomach was in so much pain as if it was going to explode.

The pain continued for 10 minutes.

And as the pain subsided, Ethan’s breathing became normal again.

“Haa... Ha! Haa! Huu, hu!”

Ethan caught his breath while wriggling around in the car.

He felt a magical power that he had never felt before.

“Samchukyo’s item was real...”

Ethan smiled brightly.

He then began walking toward the ocean away from the assembly.

He then opened up his magic and clenched his fist.

Boom!

Arghhhhhhhhh!

Once Ethan pushed out his fist, the force made the water split, and it made a very loud noise.

As a result of the power, the ocean water sloshed, and it spread to a far distance.

Ethan looked at the moving water and smiled.

What the robed man said was true.

As soon as he ingested the item, his magical power upgraded, and his body’s senses strengthened by multiple times.

On top of that, he felt as light as a feather, and his body was overflowing with energy.

Ethan returned to his car and called the number on the card.

However, the phone was turned off.

At the same time, he received a message.

Ethan opened it up.

[If you go to this address, you can find enough items to give to your hunters.]

[Only 1 ingestion per person.]

Ethan started his car and headed over to the address.

‘Too bad.’

He wanted to eat a few more.

In any case, the hunters of China were certainly strong beyond imagination.

How could they advance their magical power just by taking medicine?

Ethan widened his eyes and stiffened his face.

No matter how strong China was, there must be a weakness.

But first, he wanted to focus on clearing the tower and making America stronger than ever before.

The address was a Catholic church not too far out.

As soon as he entered, he saw a big box.

Ethan opened the box.

Inside was hundreds of the items that he ate himself.

He looked at the items in greed and then laughed with excitement.

If he gave these to his subordinate hunters, they would become stronger, and that meant that they would become stronger than China.

Ethan grabbed the box and immediately returned to the car.

***

They dropped by at a convenience store to get groceries.

They were shopping for food to eat at the Black Tower.

Once Min Sung and Ho Sung Lee returned to Manhattan with groceries, they headed to the assembly.

“Sir, it’s time to go up to the 9th floor. But you said specialized devils will appear. They’ll be stronger than the other ones, right? Do they have special powers? I just thought I should know these things ahead of time.”

“You’ll probably die.”

“... Pardon?”

Ho Sung looked back at Min Sung and asked with a pale face.

“You’ll die,” Min Sung continued while looking out the window.

“The level will be completely different.”

At that moment, Ho Sung Lee began sweating profusely.

“Then can I just stay back at the assembly...”

“Come to think of it, you’ve lived way too long,” Min Sung remarked with a small smile.

“Then what do I do...? You said I’ll die. I need to live, so I can take care of you and introduce you to delicious food.”

“Make your decision. Will you overcome death or will you just die?”
