Three Meals of a Reincarnator

Chapter 258

The upper body of the golem made of lava disappeared into thin air.

The bottom part of his body plopped down the ground, causing the lava on his body to spread around him.

Min Sung lowered the Gungnir S in his hand and walked past him with quick footsteps.

The place was hot because of the lava, but the temperature was no problem for Min Sung.

Min Sung walked into the smoke further without any hesitation.

The appearance of the player, Refman, was impressive.

On his forehead were two horns, and his entire body was covered in huge muscles as well as lava just like the monster Min Sung killed.

His eyes were also red, and every time he breathed, smoke came out of his mouth.

It was hard to think of him as a human player.

He walked into the lava with no clothes on.

He sat and groaned out of relief as he sat down in the boiling lava, almost as if he was in a hot sauna.

He then looked beside him.

He saw a long stream of lava and inside were Beatrice natives and players screaming.

The underlings of Refman were in the form of monsters, and they were squeezing out life energy from the Beatrice natives and players.

At the location where Refman was located, the lava that flowed was completely different from average lava.

That was one of the dark magic effects Refman possessed.

If he threw Beatrice natives and players into the lava, they would scream at the pain of their body melting, and at the same time, they would partially turn into lava themselves.

At the same time, the life energy that the underlings absorbed was the most preferred food for Refman.

It was cruel, but Refman didn’t think so.

He wanted to become more powerful, so Refman laughed as he watched the sight.

“You’re not going to use your life anyway. You should be honored to sacrifice it for me. Hehehe.”

Refman laid back in the lava and smiled.

Ho Sung Lee’s entire body was drenched with sweat.

That was because he saw monsters here and there, and they showed off quite the presence.

He was using his shadow skill to explore, but if he happened to expose his location or existence, just the thought of what would happen next made his body numb.

‘Monsters made of lava...? That’s crazy.’

He felt as though if the lava splashed, it would form a hole in his body.

The monsters walked around while dripping in lava.

He was scared, but Ho Sung Lee gathered up his courage to continue to explore.

While he explored the volcanic area and walked further in, Ho Sung Lee finally spotted a dwelling.

It didn’t look like the dwelling of monsters, so he predicted that this was where the ruler, Refman, resided.

After scanning to make sure no threatening opponents were in sight, Ho Sung Lee used his shadow skill to enter the dwelling.

His shadow crept the ground, and from a place that wasn’t very far, he heard the sound of footsteps.

Ho Sung Lee hurriedly hid under the shade.

At the same time, something appeared.

It was a monster resembling a wolf, and it was on fire.

“Grrrrrr...”

The monster growled as it grew distant from him again.

Ho Sung Lee stopped himself from fainting and started moving as soon as the monster was far enough.

The good thing about his shadow skill was that he could enter anything as long as there was a small crack.

Ho Sung Lee’s flat shadow discovered a small crack in the entrance and used it to enter.

As soon as he entered the dwelling, he was faced with a long hallway.

On the right side were lanterns, making it possible to see.

In order to save his magic energy, Ho Sung Lee transformed back to his original form.

And with his back leaned against the wall, he finally caught his breath.

“I’m going crazy here. Why can’t we do this together? If I die here, who’s going to take care of his meals?”

Ho Sung Lee grumbled in a quiet voice. He gulped and then walked carefully down the creepy hallway.

At the end of it was a door.

The door was made of stone, and there was no way to open it with hands.

But since there was a small crack, it was possible for him to get through it using his shadow skill.

After all, the biggest strength to the supporter ability that he chose for himself was the ability to infiltrate all sorts of places.

Ho Sung Lee transformed into a shadow and attempted to get through the crack.

“Phew, I did it! This is seriously my best skill, but why is it so dark in here?”

Ho Sung Lee was proud of himself, but he soon grumbled after realizing that he couldn’t see anything in front of him.

Right as he was about to take out a light from his item window.

An unexpected phenomenon appeared.

A blue light flashed before it and filled the wall with letters.

Ho Sung Lee dropped his jaw in shock and scanned the area around him with widened eyes.

The walls, ceiling, and the ground were filling up with blue letters.

They were ancient letters that he couldn’t read.

And as soon as the mysterious letters disappeared, two torchlights came on.

The two torchlights brightened up the space around him.

Ho Sung Lee gulped and kept his eye on all directions.

On top of a table made of wood floated what looked like a round drop of blood.

“... What’s that?”

Ho Sung Lee approached the grotesquely red sphere with a shocked look on his face.

It looked stranger and more tempting the closer he got to it.

When he looked at it from up close, it looked even more mysterious.

Ho Sung Lee stared at the drop of fluid floating 30 centimeters above the table and wondered what it was.

He looked around, but no clues were to be found.

He continued to blankly stare at the sphere, and before he knew it, Ho Sung Lee was putting his face closer and closer to the bright sphere as if he was hypnotized.

It wasn’t a spell but just his instinctive attraction.

And right as Ho Sung Lee’s nose was so close to the fluid resembling blood that it looked like he was going to touch it...

The red sphere wrapped around Ho Sung Lee’s face as it had been waiting all along.

“Ugh!”

Ho Sung Lee wobbled around and stepped back.

He didn’t imagine the red sphere would attack his face like that.

Ho Sung Lee wobbled around in shock and landed on his butt.

“Ugh!”

He couldn’t breathe.

His shoulders and chest thrust up and down and his face turned so red that it looked like it was about to burst.

The thought of dying in such a pathetic way made him feel scared.

He unleashed all of his magic power to try to get the red fluid off his face, but there was no use.

While he was struggling to breathe, the red fluid entered Ho Sung Lee’s eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

Right before he lost consciousness, he could breathe again.

“Huff! Huff!”

Ho Sung Lee violently caught his breath and rolled on the ground.

It was scary to not be able to breathe.

Ho Sung Lee wobbled back up. He looked around in a panic and then took a look at the table.

The red sphere was no longer floating on top of the table, but he clearly remembered it entering his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

His heart pounded from the horror.

As soon as he decided to get out of that strange place...

The anxiousness surfaced once more.

Grumble...

His stomach felt like he was about to have diarrhea.

While his face stiffened and he felt the symptoms in great tension, the pain exploded from within him.

“Gasp!”

Ho Sung Lee jolted his eyes wide open and dropped his jaw.

Ho Sung Lee stepped backward. He leaned against the wall, and his whole body trembled.

The symptoms began to appear.

His skin began to crack and rip, and he felt the pain of his bones breaking.

The pain was unbearable.

So painful that he wanted to give up on his life.

But Ho Sung Lee remembered what had happened with Min Sung.

He overcame countless near-death experiences.

Those memories were so clear in his head that all he could think about on the brink of death was how he overcame it every time with the help of Min Sung.

He didn’t want to die.

It wasn’t fair.

“Ugh...!”

Ho Sung Lee screamed on his knees and clenched his teeth in order to bear the intolerable pain.

He felt like his bones were breaking, but he withstood the pain while looking at his body.

He was on the ground, so he could only see his shoulder and arms, but his arms were disfigured, and the bones were sticking out of his skin.

‘No...’

‘I can’t die like this.’

‘I have to live.’

The strong will to live could be seen from Ho Sung Lee’s bleeding eyes.

It was dangerous if he became the Berserker in this state.

He didn’t know what was going to happen, but he had to hang in there for as long as possible.

That was the only way to buy time.

He wasn’t going to give up on his life.

No matter how painful.

However...

Crack!

It sounded like his bones were going through a grinder.

At the same time, Ho Sung Lee slowly lost consciousness.

And as soon as he began to fade away into darkness, the blue letters that he saw the first time filled the space around him.
