Three Meals of a Reincarnator

Chapter 341

“Arrogance is bound to call upon a crisis.”

Ethan glared at Ho Sung Lee with disgust and continued, “Even if you stand next to a monster that is Min Sung Kang, this is as far as you can come.”

The hand that grabbed onto Ho Sung Lee’s chin smacked him on the head.

“How did this scum from the streets obtain such great power?”

Ethan clicked his tongue at Ho Sung Lee.

“What makes you so confident?” Ho Sung Lee asked Ethan with a shocked face.

Ethan thought strangely of Ho Sung Lee and tilted his head.

“What makes me so confident? What do you mean?”

“I don’t know about me, but are you sure you can handle the aftermath of stabbing me in the back like this?”

“Oh... you’re talking about Min Sung Kang.”

Ethan laughed.

“Don’t worry. I don’t plan on handling that monster with force just like I am with you.”

Ho Sung Lee was unable to understand, so he stared at Ethan blankly.

“What are you planning to do....?” Ho Sung Lee asked with a glare.

“Once you disappear, Min Sung Kang will be alone. It’s not to hard to control a lonely king.”

“Hahahahaha!”

Ho Sung Lee laughed.

Ethan knitted his brows at Ho Sung Lee.

“You don’t get it, do you? As long as there are no dungeons, there’s no power stronger than politics. Words are more dangerous than swords.”

“You don’t know Min Sung, do you?”

“Well, whatever happens, you can watch from the afterlife, because you’re going to die today.”

“Do you think you can kill me?”

Ho Sung Lee glared at Ethan and laughed.

“What can someone like you possibly do to me?”

“Even if you do kill me, you won’t be able to dodge judgment.”

Ethan scoffed.

“That’s funny.”

“More than anything, I was surprised by your acting ability. And what I find the hardest to believe is how you can be so ridiculously gutsy.”

“No matter how much you struggle, nothing will change.”

“Hey, did getting hit by me anger you that much? So much that you came here as a pack? You’re too shameless to have the right to act arrogant.”

Ethan smiled bitterly.

“Yeah, I can still feel that pain right now.”

Ho Sung Lee smirked at Ethan.

“You sure know how to hold a grudge.”

Ethan continued to smile despite Ho Sung Lee’s provocation. That was the leisure that the current circumstances allowed him.

And then...

Swoosh!

Pow!

A fist pierced through the air and smacked Ho Sung Lee in the abdomen.

“Ugh!”

Ho Sung Lee’s body bent like a shrimp as he spat out blood.

“This is no time to act strong. Didn’t you hear me? You’re going to die. Right now.”

Ethan glared down at Ho Sung Lee with eyes filled with the desire to kill.

Ho Sung Lee lifted his head and smiled.

“Do you really think you can kill me?”

Ethan looked at Ho Sung Lee with an emotionless face.

“Look here. It’s true you’re more powerful than we are, but you can’t defeat us, because we’ve joined forces to create one perfect punch.”

“So you think you can.”

“That’s a stupid question. This gold magic square that has you tied up was made with all of the hunter leaders’ powers combined.

“This stupid magic square...”

“So what I’m saying is that you’re just a foolish little kid with no experience. What happened when we worked together to catch the monsters in the dungeons? We gathered our strength and caught the powerful monsters together. That’s basic knowledge.”

“I’m saying your calculations are off.”

Ethan shrugged with a smile.

“It sure doesn’t look like it.”

While Ethan laughed at Ho Sung Lee, the hunter leaders of each country approached.

“I think it’s time to end him once and for all,” said the Russian hunter leader.

Ethan smiled and nodded.

“Sure.”

Ethan took out his weapon from his item window.

The weapon he took out was a sword in the shape of a saw.

“This is going to hurt. You’ll be able to feel every pain of getting your skin sliced off.”

Ethan smiled at Ho Sung Lee with his blue eyes.

“It’s so painful you won’t even remember the last time you felt scared about pain or death.”

“That sounds cool and all, but let’s see it in action.”

A blue Aura charged the blade of Ethan’s saw.

Ho Sung Lee clenched at the sight of it.

And then...

Boommmmmm!

As soon as Ho Sung Lee unleashed his Aura, cracks began to form in the gold light that restricted his body.

Ethan as well as the other hunter leaders looked shocked as they immediately charged at Ho Sung Lee.

He was unable to completely break the restriction, but his body could now move.

Ho Sung Lee took out his sword from his item window and blocked out the attack and stepped back.

Swoosh!

Along with a loud noise, the sword filled with an Aura brushed by his neck, and Ho Sung Lee jolted his eyes wide open and swung his sword toward the African hunter leader’s side.

Ho Sung Lee’s sword managed to cut through the African hunter leader’s side, but it wasn’t very deep.

Meanwhile, Ho Sung Lee blocked out a dozen swords that charged his way while continuing to spit out blood from his mouth.

The magic square that the hunter leaders worked so hard to make was doing its part.

He unleashed his Aura to break through the restriction, but the fact that his body slowed down significantly couldn’t be denied.

As a result, blocking or dodging every attack consumed a great deal of energy.

“Huff...! Huff! Huff!”

Ho Sung Lee breathed heavily, and after continuously stepping back, his back was against the wall.

Ho Sung Lee looked behind him.

When he realized his back was against the wall, he knew that there was nowhere else to run.

Once he was cornered, the hunters who were surprised or nervous for a moment laughed and chatted amongst themselves.

“I was nervous, but this must be his limit.”

“I was surprised for a second.”

“But I think we should praise him for being able to move at all.”

The hunter leaders laughed amongst themselves and walked toward Ho Sung Lee with merciless swinging of their swords.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

As soon as he dodged the sword, the sword smashed through the wall. But Ho Sung Lee didn’t completely dodge it.

There was quite a deep wound where he was struck.

Ho Sung Lee glared at the hunter leaders in a bloody state.

Ethan snickered at Ho Sung Lee.

Ho Sung Lee coughed up more blood and caught his breath.

He then glared at the hunter leaders with the eyes of an eagle.

“Come at me.”

The hunter leaders sensed baseless confidence from Ho Sung Lee and laughed as a result.

The hunter leaders then swung their swords at Ho Sung Lee once more.

Ho Sung Lee blocked out the swords and approached closely.

The African hunter leader swung his long sword toward Ho Sung Lee’s chest, and Ho Sung Lee let him have it.

Slash!

Just as he got stabbed in the chest, Ho Sung Lee clenched down on his teeth. He pushed through and stabbed his own sword through the African hunter leader’s neck.

As a result, the African hunter leader died with his eyes still open.

Just as the surprised hunter leaders immediately charged toward Ho Sung Lee.

[You’ve acquired a fatal injury.]

[You are transforming into Berserker.]

Boommmmmmm!

Along with a powerful explosion, the hunter leaders covered their eyes with their arms.

And when they lowered their arms and looked ahead of them, Ho Sung Lee’s entire body was red, and there was fire blazing on his sword.

This was after the African hunter leader was burned alive.

Ho Sung Lee took out the African hunter leader’s sword from his chest. He threw it onto the ground and laughed like a demon.

“Level up the magic square!”

Ethan screamed.

The hunter leaders stabbed their swords onto the ground at the same time.

Their Auras gathered in one place, and that collection of power began to absorb into the magic square.

As a result, the gold light shot up with even more power and swallowed Ho Sung Lee’s body.

“Graaaaaaa!”

Ho Sung Lee charged toward the hunter leaders in lunacy.

The hunter leaders poured out their last remaining magic energy.

As a result, Ho Sung Lee, who was charging toward them, slowed down, drooled saliva mixed with blood, plopped down on one knee, and stabbed his sword into the ground.

“It’s time.”

The Russian hunter leader acted first.

In order to finish off Ho Sung Lee, the Russian hunter leader swung his colorful sword at Ho Sung Lee’s head.

Ho Sung Lee lifted his head. He blocked the sword with his left arm and stabbed the Russian hunter leader in the abdomen.

“Slash!”

“Ugh.”

He groaned, wobbled around, and at the same time, the other hunter leaders’ swords stabbed through Ho Sung Lee’s body.

Despite suffering substantial damage, Ho Sung Lee jolted his red eyes wide open. He took out his sword from the Russian hunter leader’s abdomen. He turned around and swung his sword.

The vortex of his sword flashed in all directions at the hunter leaders.

Despite having put up their defense, the powerful Aura ripped through the hunter leaders’ skin and pushed them back.

But since the wounds weren’t deep, the hunter leaders positioned themselves again and swung their swords at Ho Sung Lee.

“Grrrrr, grrrr...!”

The hunter leaders looked annoyed at Ho Sung Lee, who was in his Berserker state.

“What is that...?”

“He’s a Berserker, but he’s so fast.”

“That bastard’s a monster, too.”

“If we didn’t prepare that magic square, we would have lost already.”

“Good thing we prepared ahead of time.”

In response to the hunter leaders, the American hunter leader, Ethan, smirked.

“Anyway, it’s over.”

Just as Ethan finished, Ho Sung Lee’s Berserker mode began to deactivate due to the severe damage.

Ho Sung Lee transformed back into his original form, and at the same time, Ho Sung Lee dropped to his knees and let out a deep breath.

His body was still surrounded by the gold light, and he had a hard time breathing.

With his sword over his shoulder, Ethan walked toward Ho Sung Lee.

He looked down at him with a smile.

“Are you done resisting?” Ethan asked.

“Aren’t you embarrassed that you lost two hunter leaders after how much you prepared?”

Ho Sung Lee looked up at Ethan and laughed with a tired face.

“Not really.”

Ethan shook his head with a smile.

“Let me ask you one last question. Why do you want to kill me and control Min Sung Kang?”

“Money... and power,” Ethan answered.

Ho Sung Lee sighed and nodded while looking at the ground before quietly mumbling, “Mission accomplished.”
