Have a Meal Before You Go - Chapter 33

Chapter 33

Motorcycles were not used that much these days .

They were just oil-powered, old machines with a loud sound .

Cheol-ho once asked Kang Hyuk, the new leader of the Temple Mercenary Corps, if there was any reason to use the old methods .

At that time, Kang Hyuk answered with a big smile .

-I am bringing back the old tradition .

Cheol-ho laughed . Cheon Tae-jung raised a wonderful next generation .
“Hmm . ”

By the way, what kind of dungeon was it? He had never seen anything like this before

“Look daddy look . ”

Tangerine pointed at a motorcycle that passed by with her fingers as if the motorcycle was interesting .

Then she started running with Khan’s hand linked to hers . These days, Tangerine really enjoyed walking and running . Children are said to move nonstop by the time they start walking .

Cheol-ho had never raised a child, but he thought that children were similar regardless of race .

Cheol-ho slowly walked away, looking at Tangerine running around in the market .

At such a peaceful time, Tangerine suddenly pinched her nose, frowning .

“Ugh!”

Tangerine and Khan looked around . Both of them spoke in unison .

“Blood?”

“…… . ”

Cheol-ho looked at the other side . A damp bloody smell filled the area .

* * *

A strong man holds everything in his hand . In other words, the Demon king is the strongest being in the demon world .

The Demon king had four monarchs under his command .

Each of them had a strong power . They obeyed the King Devil’s commands without any objection . One could think of them as the four generals at the forefront of the battlefield .

Sofrin Lisse was the fourth monarch among them .

She assisted the Demon king for a long time . She was a vampire who was called the flower of the battlefield .

Her vampire army was strong and left countless accomplishments . Until the Demon king was killed by a warrior named Miro Lycas .

“…… . ”

To be honest, she was very embarrassed .

She still remembered the catastrophe that occured ten years ago . Thousands of vampires were killed by a single man .

She was also driven to the brink of death . Although she managed to save herself, her strength was reduced to about a fifth of her usual . To recover, she had to drink a huge amount of quality blood .

The other three monarchs and the Demon king were no different . Everyone hated and gritted their teeth against the man . But she was a little different .

‘I can’t win . ’

Even if the Demon king restored his strength, he could not win . She thought that even if all four monarchs were restored to their former power, the fight itself would not be possible .

But the limitation of human beings is that one day they will die of old age . Then if we wait for 50 more years, even the monster Miro Lycas will die of old age .

It’s already been a little over a decade since she has been stuck in the dungeon waiting for that day . Her power that fell to one-fifth managed to recover to some extent, and recovered to two-fifth .

It was a normal day for her .

She sucked the blood of the virgin demon in the morning and for lunch she sucked the blood of the young male demon and thought of what to eat for dinner .

A gap in dimension opened up in the ground where she stood .

“Oh shit…!”

She looked through the gap and was sucked in!

.

.

.

.

.

.

“Here it comes!”

“Formation D! Strong defense!”

“Strong defense!”

“Strong defense!”

The spearman’s team had a defense formation .

At the same time, the ceiling of the dungeon collapsed .

The violet wave gap and split in half, revealing the heterogeneous world on the other side . Purple bushes and monsters swooped in . .

-ah, ah, ah!
There’s a storm of mana .

“That’s Zero rank . ”

Kang Hyuk stood by the side of The magic spearman with his arms crossed and murmured .

“Thank you for coming . ”

“It’s my pleasure . ”

The magic spearman held out his left fist to him .

Kang Hyuk put out his right fist and both fists collided . Soon Kang Hyuk turned around and shouted .

“Prepare for battle!”

The Temple mercenaries stood side by side, boosting their respective abilities .

-Drip drip

Something poured down from the sky . It was blood .
The scarlet red blood was pouring down like rain .

At the same time, a bloody fog formed all over the place .

[That’s pretty good . ]

Tsk tsk

Gearwalk smiled and moved the golem swiftly . At the same time, the golem’s head glowed blue, and he began to sense things happening .

A human figure was moving through the fog of blood . Gearwalk held out his right hand . The blue energy in his right hand clung together and spread .

– Boom boom!

It was a beam of mana .

-Woosh

The human form was in direct contact with the mana . At the same time, a strange sound was heard . Then the human figure appeared again on the other side of the fog .

The figure rushed then towards the exit . The magic spearman threw his huge spear towards the figure and shouted .

“Block the exits!”

-Kugung!

The entrance of the exit was directly hit by the spear that Macahngsa threw .
-Bang!

Explosions were heard . Awakened men defending the gate entrance collapsed to the ground .

-Thud!

A heavy pillar rose from the ground and blocked the entrance .
Jin’s eyes shone red as he struck down all the nearby beings . It was third rank Awakener, Yukmang Seong-jin .

“The lockdown is complete!”

The entrance to the exit was completely blocked . The normal, orderly raid began .

The bloody fog which covered the entire area slowly cleared up . The sixth-rank vampire monsters roared, revealing their sharp teeth .

There were hundreds of them!

“Come on, let’s get started!”

Kang Hyuk pulled out his sword and ran . Behind him the Temple mercenaries moved like angry beasts .

[Everybody be careful!]

Gearwalk shouted . The golem’s body was filled with a blue energy which spread everywhere . Dozens of vampires were killed instantly in the blue energy which was fired like machine guns .

The first-rank awakener, Gearwalk was simply comparable to the vampire legion .

– Bam!

The vampires literally burst as Gearwalk fired the blue energy at them .

The magic spearman’s spear shot down the continuously appearing vampires . The raid was going very smoothly .

* * *
‘I’m screwed . ’

Sofrin Lisse clenched her teeth . Her barely recovered strength was not enough to fight in the battle .

“Why are the humans so strong?”

The dignity of Vampire Monarch, who swept the Esfan continent, is nowhere to be found . She will have to beg for her life .

‘I don’t want to die!’

She rushed desperately towards the gate .
-Boom! Boom! Boom!
She tried to break through the pillars that were blocking the entrance .

‘Everyone, come on! Break it!’

Sofrin Lesse, the leader of the vampire army, commanded . The vampires rushed to the entrance, threw their lives, and smashed the pillars so that their leader could escape .

She clenched her teeth and managed to squeeze herself through the gap .

It’s a gate!

Get out of the gate! 

That was her plan .

Of course, it was almost successful until she saw Cheol-ho .

-Bam!

As soon as she left the gate, she heard the sound of her back breaking . And at that moment, the whole world around her turned dark .

-Heeek!
-Kang Cheol-ho, who is now normal!- Oh this is…?!

-Put it in, Kasim .

The Goblin’s strange grumpy voice was heard .

* * *

Gearwalk .  

His destructive power was formidable .

The abilities of the Awakening Society were impressive . Cheol-ho frankly admired their fight . In systematic and definite movements, the record-breaking battle of zero rank victims had been waged .

‘Not like the Esfan Continent . ’

This Awakening Society was really a gathering of elite people . That’s great . This world really does belong to the Awakeners .

Cheol-ho left the gate that was being raided with Sofrin Lisse .

She looked quite familiar .

It has been 10 years .

He remembered having a hard time dealing with her vampire army . She was a vampire with long dark hair, a well sculpted face and a voluminous figure .

Her beauty was nothing compared to Shadow Cat . But if Shadow Cat was pure beauty, Sofrin Lisse was slightly different .
Cheol-ho, with a cigarette in his mouth, stared blankly into the sky and waited for her to wake up .

“Uh…”

Soon she woke up . Cheol-ho opened his mouth, puffing the cigarette smoke into the air .

“There are two choices . To die or to live . Answer the question, and you live, or you die . ”

She shook her head in disbelief . She was horrified to see Cheol-ho .

“You, you!”

“Is the Demon king still asleep?”

She tilted her head in a weird way .

That guy was obviously Miro Lycas . He got younger? The old man was certainly a fifty-year-old veteran, but he looked thirty years younger in appearances .

If this was true, the plan would be a complete waste . She thought he would get old in about 50 years . But now, that means that she has to wait 100 years!

Desperation was clearly shown on her face .

“This doesn’t make any sense! How did you-…”

She contemplated for a moment and closed her mouth . She fell into a gap in dimension, and was unlucky to meet Miro Lycas in the dimension she landed in .

Why are coincidences so harsh?

Cheol-ho spoke again .

“You are more loyal than I thought . Then die . ”

It’s not like that . .

“Wait!”

She shouted immediately .

“Huh?”

“I’ll answer! The Demon king is still asleep . Perhaps another 90 years of sleep will restore his old strength!”

-Truth

The detect eye had determined the truth .

“Good . So how much strength have you recovered?”

She thought for a moment and replied quickly .

“2/5th!”

-Truth
‘So she’s as strong as two first-rank monsters . ”

Cheol-ho nodded his head . The monarchs of the demon world were after him .
Five or six of the first-rank monsters were strong .

“Are you here on purpose?”

“No! No! We had an unfortunate landing!”
She answered Cheol-ho’s question again .

-Truth

This made it clear .

‘Someone is intentionally creating a gap in dimension . Who is it?

At least I’m sure he’s very powerful . ’

“What’s the status of the demon world?”

“Since the Demon king fell asleep, it’s been a mess! Because each of them wants to be the next demon king! It’s war after war!”

-Truth

The demon world will be a disaster .

Cheol-ho nodded .

“The other monarchs must be in the same condition as you . ”

“Yes! Still, I’m the best monarch!”

-False

Which part is false? Cheol-ho frowned .

“I hate lies . ”

“……”

She hesitated and spoke the truth timidly .

“… . …everyone is gradually regaining their strength . And i’m the third monarch in order . ”

-Truth

“Good . ”

“So, are you letting me live?”

“I always keep my word . ”

“Ah! Thank you! You’ve been a better guy than I thought you would!”

She then sprang to her feet .
She had a big chest and was wearing a fairly revealing outfit, which would be considered very close to a bikini .
Cheol-ho took a step forward .

“……huh? Are you going to kill me!?”

She flinched at the sight and stepped back . Cheol-ho shook his head and walked towards her .

“A promise is a promise . ”

He grabbed her by the nape of her neck, dragging her .
The entrance to the dungeon gate, which was blocked by the awakened, was in front of the restaurant .

Cheol-ho dragged her into Minotaur’s dungeon .

The monsters in the dungeon were still farming in full swing .

“Ah?”

Cheol-ho threw her at Minotaur .

“Moo? Sofrin Lisse?”

Minotaur’s face was full of shock .

Why did one of the four monarchs of the demon world come here? What’s going on?

“This is a new worker . Teach her the rules and work of the dungeon . ”

“…… . . ”

Minotaur gazed at her with his big bull-like eyes .

“Uh…… . ”

Cheol-ho walked away .

She waves her hand at him, smiling .

“… …Mino, long time no see . ”

“Oh, long time no see . ”

Minotaur waited for Cheol-ho to leave before he spoke .

“Sofrin Lisse… …Miro Lycas has a dragon servant . I think he has a dragon army . ”

“Dragon army? Well… …when I think about it, he’s also gotten younger . He could master six classes and I’m sure that he masters the immortal class too . What do we do?”

I’m sure those humans from earlier are Miro Lycas’ men .

She had seen for herself the ice of despair created by the ruler of the glaciers, Amir Lantero in the past battlefield .

The two of them had the same idea at the same time .

-If you don’t listen, you never know when and where you’ll die instantly .

The minotaur then spoke .

“dungeon’s rules… . First, never attempt to escape . And second, you don’t eat if you don’t work . ”

Minotaur calmly informed her of the rules in a quivering voice .

“And lastly . ”

“……”

“Eat a lot… …and gain weight . ”

Minotaur’s dungeon had one more worker today .

.

.

.

.

.

.

Yoo Jin-ho, who was making a video call at the entrance to the market, was a nice middle-aged man . He owned an unpopular place where handmade noodles are made and sold . It was also Cheol-ho’s favorite store .

“Oh Kang Cheol-ho ssi . Welcome . ”

“Hello sir . ”

Cheol-ho was going to buy noodles .

Everyone must have at least one food that suddenly came to mind whenever they were hungry . For Cheol-ho, cold noodles was that food .

The broth, which has been kept in the fridge for the past few days, could be used to make a very nice cold noodle dish . Soon, the Awakeners who have done a great job in the dungeon will soon come to the restaurant .

Cheol-ho intended to make a very delicious cold noodle dish for them .
