Chapter 131

“Cough!”

[You’ve sustained fatal damage.]

[Passive Skill open.]

[You’re transforming into Berserker.]

[Limit maximized!]

[You will inflict additional damage due to rage.]

Roarrrrrrrrr!

“…!””

Wang Wei stared at Ho Sung Lee in shock.

Ho Sung Lee’s hair grew long, and its color turned red.

Ho Sung Lee’s eyes were filled with blood, and his teeth grew into fangs.

On top of that, his muscles enlarged, and his blood vessels stuck out.

His magic and stamina power increased exponentially.

After that, rocks and dirt started levitating around Ho Sung Lee.

Ho Sung Lee wobbled up to his feet while clenching down his teeth and opened his mouth.

“Roarrrrrrrrr!”

“Ugh!”

Wang Wei covered his eyes and stepped back.

The reason for that was because the strong energy radiated from his body.

“What’s that…!?”

Ho Sung Lee took out the Death Knight Sword from his stomach.

And then.

Dashhhhhh!

Ho Sung Lee ran toward Wang Wei at high speed.

A very high speed.

He also waved his Death Knight Sword around, which started flaming up.

[Death Knight Sword, ‘Hell Fire’ activation rate will remain at 10%.]

The Death Knight Sword clashed with Wang Wei’s sword.

Slashhhhhh!

The strong spark and explosion pushed Wang Wei backward.

“Ugh!”

Wang Wei stared at Ho Sung Lee with widened eyes.

No, he tried to stare at him.

However, due to the smoke and spark of the Hell Fire, he was unable to keep his eyes open.

But Ho Sung Lee’s Death Knight Sword still managed to get through the smoke and spark toward his face.

“Argh!”

Wang Wei breathed sharply as he blocked the Death Knight Sword with his sword.

Clangggggg!

The loud clanging sound caused the Hell Fire to be activated once more.

Banggg!

There was nothing special about the Hell Fire damage, but the problem was that the spark kept getting in the way of his view.

“How did he get so strong?”

Wang Wei created a safe distance between him and Ho Sung Lee.

However, Ho Sung Lee didn’t let that happen.

The Death Knight Sword gave off a strong aura that turned into sparks as he charged toward Wang Wei.

“Stop fooling around…!”

Wang Wei bit down on his lower lip and used all his power at once.

The attack that he used on the devils.

Vision Torpedo Charm

Wang Wei’s sword created a tornado.

As a result, the sparks and smoke disappeared in no time, allowing him to see Ho Sung Lee.

‘It’s all over you, bastard!’

When Wang Wei smiled out of relief.

Ho Sung Lee’s Death Knight Sword flew over toward his head and struck down on the Vision Torpedo Charm.

Boommmmmmmmm!

A strong explosion broke out.

It was so strong that it shook the inside of the tower.

The red smoke spread around them and turned into thick smoke.

Wang Wei waved his arms around to look through the smoke.

‘He’s probably dead, right?’

He was certain that that was the case.

As soon as the smoke subsided.

“Roar…!”

It sounded like the cry of a beast.

“No way…!”

Ho Sung Lee broke through the smoke and ran toward Wang Wei.

The fiery Death Knight Sword in his hands was targeting Wang Wei’s head.

The attack was strong, but Wang Wei was no ordinary opponent.

Wang Wei dodged the sword and slashed Ho Sung Lee’s waist with his sword.

But.

“…!?”

The wound immediately healed itself.

And although Ho Sung Lee lost his balance due to the strike, he still ran toward Wang Wei and waved his sword once more.

The attack was not simple by any means.

The fiery Death Knight Sword targeted Wang Wei’s pressure point.

In other words, his neck.

The flame flew into the air and charged toward Wang Wei’s neck.

As soon as Wang Wei lifted his shoulder by reflex.

Thuddddddddd!

A loud noise could be heard.

Ho Sung Lee’s body rose into the air and flew 40 meters away before plopping onto the floor.

Thud!

Ho Sung Lee let go of his Death Knight Sword and rolled on the floor.

Wang Wei swallowed his saliva and looked beside him.

He saw three men wearing black robes.

They were the Heukrangdae.

And within their gaze contained reproach.

“Don’t look at me like that, or I’ll dig out your eyeballs,” Wang Wei remarked with annoyance and rage.

At that moment, Ho Sung Lee got up like a zombie and picked up the Death Knight Sword from the ground.

“Roarrr…”

Ho Sung Lee breathed out grey smoke from his mouth, and the way his eyes had blood in them reminded him of the devils.

Heukrangdae’s attack caused a temporary lull during the battle.

“I should finish off that son of a b*tch.”

But Heukrangdae stood in front of Wang Wei, who was about to attack Ho Sung Lee again.

“If you continue to disobey us, we’ll have no other choice.”

Wang Wei laughed.

“You’ll have no other choice but to do what?”

“Sir, the commands must be followed. Keep in mind that this is a way of going against our leader.”

Wang Wei showed an annoyed look on his face

At that moment, Ho Sung Lee charged toward Wang Wei and Heukrangdae.

But the movements of Ho Sung Lee, who was charging like a beast, suddenly started slowing down.

His red hair started to become brown again, and it grew short.

Even his bloody eyes came back to normal, and his teeth were sharp no more.

What followed was Ho Sung Lee getting down on his knees and losing consciousness.

Plop-

Once Ho Sung Lee fell on the ground, he didn’t show any movements.

Wang Wei and Heukrangdae watched in the meantime.

A moment later.

“Let’s go back, Sir,” Heukrangdae urged.

“… Is he going to die?”

Wang Wei took turns looking at Ho Sung Lee and Bowl.

“Sir, you must return to the assembly.”

“You must go back.”

“You must go back.”

Wang Wei clicked his tongue. He knitted his brows and glared at Heukrangdae.

“Stop scolding me. I get the point, okay? I’m going!”

He lashed out. He looked at Ho Sung Lee one more time and then smirked.

“If you’re still alive, consider yourself lucky. But then again, if another announcement is made, we’ll see each other again soon.”

Wang Wei laughed and turned around.

Heukrangdae followed behind him in silence.

***

“Mmm…”

Ho Sung Lee wriggled and groaned, and once he regained some consciousness, he felt the pain.

“Ugh!”

Despite the excruciating pain, he still looked for Bowl.

He then spotted Bowl laying on the ground in front of him.

“Huh? B-Bowl…! Are you okay? Cough!”

Ho Sung Lee asked while coughing.

“Worry about yourself, son of a b*tch.”

Ho Sung Lee looked at Bowl and smirked.

“Sigh… you bastard. You’re okay, haha…”

Ho Sung Lee grimaced due to the pain, but he still laughed.

“What happened? Did I beat that Samchunkyo when I became a Berserker?”

“No, Heukrangdae showed up and took him away.”

“Oh… I see. Wait. But you looked like you were passed out. How did you see that? I didn’t.”

“That wasn’t me.”

“What…”

“The one that got hit was my other ego. I had already run far away.”

Ho Sung Lee glared and stared at Bowl.

“You sneaky skull. After all I did to try to save you… Ugh!”

“I never asked you to do that though.”

Ho Sung Lee was about to say something, but he then grabbed his stomach and bent forward.

“Jeez… It didn’t hurt this much when I became a Berserker last time.”

“Do you have a potion?”

“I do, but it’s Min Sung’s, so I can’t just take it.”

“We should hurry back. We’re late again. Take the potion. I’m sure he’ll understand.”

“R-right?”

“Yeah. Take it!”

Bowl urged him.

Ho Sung Lee opened the item window and took out the potion to drink.

Gulp, gulp, gulp…!

He chugged the potion in one go.

And the effects came right away.

A blue particle appeared and flew around Ho Sung Lee’s skin before being absorbed slowly.

Ho Sung Lee’s pain subsided, and his heavy body began to feel lighter.

He was worried since it was an expensive potion, but just like Bowl said, it was more important to treat himself and get back to Min Sung Kang first.

He also had to report to him about Wang Wei.

“Jeez! Ugh!”

Ho Sung Lee grabbed his back like an old man and groaned.

***

Samchunkyo didn’t try to control Korea’s Central Insitute.

There were two reasons for that.

The Korean hunters decided not to eat the item, and Korea wasn’t really acknowledged by the world in the first place.

As a result, the Central Insitute hunters couldn’t enter the assembly dominated by Samchunkyo, and they had no reason or skill to go into the tower.

For that reason, Ji Yoo Kim ordered her hunters to return to Korea for the time being.

It was clear that Min Sung Kang and China were going to face off from now on.

She knew that a powerful country like China would never let Min Sung Kang monopolize the Black Tower.

Meanwhile, there was nothing the Central Institue could do.

The hunters had no choice but to go back to Korea.

The Korean citizens would be happy about it, but from Ji Yoo Kim’s standpoint, it was not to be celebrated.

Without Min Sung Kang, they were nothing but the weakest hunters in the world.

In a place a little further out from the assembly.

Ji Yoo Kim, who was left by herself, clenched onto her clothes with a stiff look on her face.

All that had happened in the end was one hunter dying because he couldn’t take the sedative.

And that was her fault.

Ji Yoo Kim covered her face in pain.

Min Sung Kang.

He was right.

“Don’t do anything.”

“Just stay alive.”

Those words pained her heart.

In the end, nothing had changed.

By striving to find the pill, all she did was provoke Samchunkyo.

After sending all the Korean hunters back to Korea, Ji Yoo Kim finally let out her tears that she had been holding in.

She had been holding it in for a long time.
