Chapter 200: Hell King (1)

Anguish stopped crying when he picked up the Fragment of Fissure .
Then, he allowed it to remember the ‘scent’ that was deeply entangled with the Fragment of Fissure . He did this because Muyoung also knew that, deep within the Fragment of Fissure, the scent of ‘Dantalian’ was also present .
This would be a lot of help in finding the Demon God of the 71st seat, Dantalian, or knowing if he was getting close to him .
As he conquered more towers, the power he could control had also increased .
He basically earned 1,000 specters per tower .
Thismeant that if he conquered all 44 towers, he could make use of 44,000 specters in the real world .
Unlike the past, when Murdudun was just had the form of a soul, as the Hell Path realm was now connected to the real world, it seemed like the specters could produce physical damage .
Additionally .
The owners of the towers were all considered as high-level kings .
There were only 15 kings left!
Also, there were 22 towers, which meant that he would be able to complete the King Slayer achievement in the Hell Path .
‘I’m excited . ’
There was a chance it wouldn’t end with just one quest .
Continuous achievement . As it was a process of following King Slayer’s footsteps, another achievement might appear depending on the reward he received after finishing this achievement .
And these types of continuous achievements were known to give great rewards .
However, they were hard to receive, to complete, and were known to sometimes be impossible .
What would it give?
‘The stats that could be earned through the King Slayer are also becoming rare . ’
Was it because Muyoung’s stats had already reached their upper limits?
Although strength and agility had increased this time by 1, no stats increased recently when he had killed more than ten owners of the towers .
Of course, in Muyoung’s current state, 1 stat point was very valuable .
As every 1 stat point difference could be slightly felt .
“The owners of the towers started to collaborate . ”
“Among the owners of the towers, the strongest one, ‘Hae Mosu’, has already gathered 10 owners . ”
“Are you going to wait for him to gather the rest of the owners?”
The nine-tailed foxes asked .
They were enthusiastic in trying to make Muyoung the king somehow .
Rahora’s wishes had exhibited that much power .
Muyoung shook his head .
For him to wait until the enemies gather?
It could be a chance to conquer them all at once, but he didn’t want them to all gather .
They were many, while he was one .
At least in terms of leading an army, a simpler command structure was better .
“I will divide the army . Murdudun and you guys will each lead specters to invade the towers that have yet to collaborate . Also, before the ones who have join up, cut off all their support by ambushing them near the paths that lead to the meeting point . ”
Muyoung had no experience directing a war, but he had faced combat on many battlefields . He had heard and seen quite a lot as well .
He knew that in a war, removing the support in the middle was very important . Although they wouldn’t need food because they were specters, if they lost their manpower, they would be demoralized .
Muyoung made full use of his advantages .
Furthermore, he gathered the rest of the army . It was to invade Hae Mosu .
‘There is no need to drag things out . ’
It would be a foolish thing to give them time when he had already taken control of the winning hand .
Muyoung knew very well how to paddle when the water came in .

Alan was a rank 1 priest from the Holy City Mulalan .
Normally, he would have needed to be worshipping faithfully in Mulalan, but he was currently in Noble Castle, far from that place, staying with few knights .
“Alan, do we still not have permission to enter the towers?”
Alan, who was eating a pickle at a restaurant, shook his head .
“We have given them all the official paperwork but…”
“Whew! Actually, their surveillance on us had increased . Wherever I go, their eyes are on me . ”
Alan turned his head slightly . Then, there were people who avoided their eyes right away .
They didn’t even try to hide it well . They were openly monitoring him .
It meant they were that willing to cover up the towers . However, because of Mulalan’s position, they couldn’t ignore them, and allowed only a few to enter the Noble Castle .
After realizing his current situation, he let out a sigh .
“If I was a saint or a cult judge, they wouldn’t be able to ignore me like this . ”
A saint, a cult judge .
Besides the sage king, they were the people who were recognized as the strongest priests .
There were tons of rank 1 priests . They didn’t have much authority either . However, since Mulalan had dispatched him here, he had no choice but to follow up .
“Is Mulalan thinking that the things happening in Noble Castle aren’t a big deal?”
“I don’t think so . Just…”
Alan reserved his words when the paladin asked .
Mulalan had a great interest in the current situation .
However, they didn’t have enough people to allocate .
Mulalan was currently in turmoil internally .
It was because the appearance of one girl had created a huge commotion in Mulalan .
It had already been 2 years since the girl appeared . The girl who instantly became a saintess was even controlling the sage king .
Some called the girl an angel, while others declared her to be a witch who charms others . However, those who considered her to be a witch all met with sudden deaths .
Sudden death .
The cause could not be determined .
However, they were all people who denounced the girl as a witch .
That was why currently Mulalan was at a standstill . All gates were closed, and they were trying to find out what caused the deaths .
Of course, no progress wa made .
However, Mulalan had become strange ever since the girl appeared .
The girl’s name was Hyacinth .
She was the reason why a mere rank 1 priest, Alan, had to be in charge of such an important task .
The paladins also had a rough understanding of the situation . That was why they ended their conversation by nodding their heads .
‘I have no idea what to do now . ’
Only five paladins accompanied him .
If the Reign Clan decided to conceal information, he had no power to even try to dig up what they knew .
Rather, it would be fortunate if he could keep his life .
‘There is definitely something about these towers . ’
Alan looked slightly outside of the gates .
The number of towers that were placed in Noble Castle was continuously increasing by the day .
People were saying that, if it continued like this, the entire Noble Castle would be filled with towers .
As a matter of fact, Mulalan was observing Noble Castle closely . To be exact, the Reign Clan .
‘There is a hidden weapon within the Reign Clan . ’
The leaders of Mulalan concluded that those towers might be a result of the weapon .
So, Alan’s mission was to reveal whether or not the towers were related to the weapon the Reign Clan had hidden .
However, the Reign Clan’s mood was somewhat tense .
‘Also, they said Reign Gun was killed . Right when the towers appeared…’
They heard the news that the legitimate child of the Reign Clan had died .
Afterward, the atmosphere became frigid .
There were more than a dozen people who were killed displayed on the gates, mounted on spikes .
If Alan and the paladins weren’t careful, their fate could be the same .
