Three Meals of a Reincarnator - Chapter 252

Chapter 252

The magic power in the elder’s hand charged toward Ho Sung Lee.

It was so powerful that he couldn’t believe it came from such an old dark elf.

With the battle already having begun, there was no chance for him to win.

Ho Sung Lee activated his shadow skill and dashed toward the entrance.

The power that missed Ho Sung Lee and struck the wall caused the entire basement to rumble and dust to fall from the ceiling.

The elder’s eyes were focused on Ho Sung Lee.

“Hmph…! Where do you think you’re going?”

The elder cast a spell toward Ho Sung Lee’s shadow.

The spell he cast was a restraint spell.

Ho Sung Lee, who was running up the stairs in the form of a shadow, suddenly froze in place.

“This just proves it that everything you said was a lie.”

The elder grinned at the thought of victory.

Once Ho Sung Lee ran out of energy, he crawled out of his shadow and returned to his original form.

There were dark lights floating around Ho Sung Lee’s body, which appeared to be the form of the restraint spell.

Ho Sung Lee looked back at the elder with a tired look on his face.

“Old man. You’re pretty quick. Haha.”

The elder charged at Ho Sung Lee. He grabbed him by the throat and threw him down the stairs.

Ho Sung Lee flew down the stairs and rolled on the ground.

***

‘… Damn it.’

Ho Sung Lee was frustrated.

He thought he really did it this time.

He thought he could prove to Min Sung Kang that he was skilled, but it didn’t turn out the way he wanted.

That old man also referred to as a dark elf elder actually attacked him, and it appeared that he really intended to kill him and conceal it.

There was a clear winner.

And the fact that the winner was the elder and not him pained his heart.

The thought of dying in the hands of that old elder made Ho Sung Lee tremble with fear.

He wasn’t afraid of death, but he rather couldn’t accept such a pathetic death.

Ho Sung Lee put all his energy into thinking of how to resolve this situation.

And in a short period of time, he decided that attacking was better than defending.

When cornered, even rats attacked cats.

And no matter how powerful the elder’s magic was, he was nothing but an old dark elf.

He figured there must’ve been a way in, and in order to live, he had to attack with all his might.

Ho Sung Lee went against the elder’s assumption that he had given up and charged toward him.

The elder’s eyes squinted.

It was a clear smile, but Ho Sung Lee didn’t let the ridicule get to him and swung his sword.

A thick line of the sword energy charged toward the elder.

The elder blocked the sword energy with his hand and immediately attacked Ho Sung Lee’s chest.

Pow!

The sound of leather exploding rang through the basement causing Ho Sung Lee to fly into the wall and plop down onto the ground.

“Ugh…”

Ho Sung Lee groaned on the ground and spit out blood.

The elder stared down at Ho Sung Lee, who was trembling on the ground, and smiled.

“I was nervous because of the outsider you’re accompanying, but you’re so weak that I’m at a loss for words.”

The elder looked down at Ho Sung Lee and snickered.

“You shall die here, and the outsider won’t be able to find you.”

Ho Sung Lee got up with the help of the wall and looked up at the elder while panting.

“Haa… Haa, cough! Look here, old man. You’re done for.”

The elder grimaced out of disgust in response.

“You’re still so confident. You must be more stupid than you are incapable.”

“You’re the stupid one, not me.”

“…”

“The ground shook when you attacked me with your Aura earlier. Even if this place is sealed with magic, it still would have made an impact.”

“What does that matter…?”

In the middle of speaking, the elder caught onto what Ho Sung Lee was talking about.

What Ho Sung Lee was talking about, and what the elder caught onto was the fact that Min Sung Kang probably sensed the impact.

“You’re f*cked. You just screwed yourself over.”

What passed through the elder’s head was the extermination fo the dark elves, but the elder didn’t lose hope.

“This space was built using a powerful shielding magic. No matter how strong the impact, it’s impossible to feel it from the outside.”

“You really don’t think do you, old man? Are you still underestimating him?”

The elder’s eyes turned red.

“I won’t let a kid like you get to me. You’re done for.”

Ho Sung Lee smirked at the elder and shook his head.

“… You’re so frustrating. You never should’ve gone as far as you did.”

“Shut your mouth! Your body will never be collected, even when Beatrice itself collapses.”

The elder held up his hand full of magic power and walked toward Ho Sung Lee.

The elder’s eyes were filled with the desire to kill.

But Ho Sung Lee didn’t let that discourage him and simply laughed.

“I’m Ho Sung Lee. Do you think I’ll be shaken because of that look of yours? I’ve seen much worse than this.”

The elder scoffed at Ho Sung Lee.

“You’re not even worth my energy. Have a pleasant trip to Hell.”

Swoosh!

Pow!

The elder’s hand struck Ho Sung Lee’s chest once more.

Ho Sung Lee coughed up blood, and his eyes turned hazy.

There was a hole in his chest the size of the elder’s hand.

Ho Sung Lee dropped his head and slowly fell onto the ground.

The elder looked at Ho Sung Lee’s body and scoffed.

“You’ve finally shut your mouth. Hmph!”

The elder clicked his tongue. He checked the ancient document inside his robe and turned to leave the basement.

At that moment…

“Roarrrr…”

He heard the sound of a monster.

“…?”

The elder tilted his head and looked behind him.

There stood Ho Sung Lee, still alive, while drooling.

His eyes were only white. He had fangs. His hair turned red, and he had muscles that made him look like a completely different person.

“H-how could this be? I thought you died…”

The elder stared at Ho Sung Lee in disbelief and shock.

The hole in his chest was slowly healing.

It was hard to believe even while seeing it right in front of his eyes.

Gulp.

“Do you mean to tell me… that you’re immortal?” The elder asked with a trembling voice.

Ho Sung Lee had completely transformed from the kid that he battled against just a few minutes before.

While the elder stood blankly from shock, Ho Sung Lee, who had turned into the Berserker, began to unleash his nature.

“Graaaaaaaa!”

Ho Sung Lee charged toward the elder with flame trailing behind him.”

“… Gasp!”

The elder gasped and immediately gathered his magic power.

Ho Sung Lee’s sword collided against the elder’s magic power.

Crashhh!

The explosive sound rang through the basement.

His hand throbbed, but after seeing just how much Aura and output he possessed, he was certain he could defeat him.

‘I was nervous for nothing.’

The elder quickly approached Ho Sung Lee in his berserker state and stuck out his hand.

Swoosh!

Crash!

The elder’s hand struck Ho Sung Lee in the gut. He then flew in the air. He flipped once and then fell on the ground, but he bounced back and charged toward the elder like a bullet.

The elder looked at him charging closer and clenched down on his teeth.

… His attacks weren’t working.

The revelation made many thoughts pass through the elder’s head.

He was still able to block attacks and even make counter-attacks, but what if it didn’t apply any damage and he got even stronger?

That thought made the elder feel discouraged.

‘Who is this monster?’

But come to think of it, he was much too weak compared to the other outsider before he turned into a Berserker.

So weak that he didn’t belong in Beatrice.

But if he had the ability to turn into such a beast.

It was a different story.

The elder bit down on his lip.

He had no idea he was this monster.

Battling against an immortal monster made him feel anxious, and over time, Ho Sung Lee’s attacks wore him down.

But not long afterward, Ho Sung Lee wobbled around and plopped down on his knees.

He then began to transform back.

His red hair turned black. His fangs disappeared. His muscles shrunk, and the pupils reappeared in his eyes.

“There’s a limit to that state? Hahaha. Hahahaha…!”

The elder looked at Ho Sung Lee with less tension and laughed loudly.

The elder looked down at Ho Sung Lee on the ground and gritted his teeth.

He was scared for a second, but he was nothing but a piece of trash.

‘I wasted my energy on this bastard.’

‘How embarrassing.’

The elder checked the time.

He had consumed too much of his time.

He had to quickly kill him and continue with his plans.

The elder pulled up Ho Sung Lee’s head from the ground.

And just as he pulled back his hand to take his life…

Boommm!

He heard the door break open.

And as soon as he turned around, somebody’s hand was already grabbing onto his face.
