Episode 192 Joy, Hatred (1)
“Yes.”
“Wow… I suddenly felt so weak that I thought I had seen a ghost. “I also hear auditory hallucinations.”
“If there is a ghost-shaped monster, this one will react first. “Even though it looks like this, it is still useful.”
“I understand, brother. It feels like a skill that would be suitable for a necromancer, shaman, or warlock, but I always acknowledge that you have it.”
“Why do you have so many skills?”
“No matter how much I think about it, my brother’s skill retention mechanism is incomprehensible. “Oh, I don’t mean it in a bad way.”
“I have no intention of denying it either.”
Ganghu laughed.
Usually, assassins have assassin-like skills. This is because differentiation of basic skills is achieved that way.
And even if you get a skill book, learning skills from other classes is a loss in itself.
However, thanks to the Dimension Stealer, Ganghu steals skills from the middle boss and main boss without penalty.
Moreover, since skill books of other classes can be learned using tricks, the differentiation is bound to be arbitrary.
That’s why all hunters who deal with Ganghu are picky about him. Because it’s unpredictable.
Ganghu first sent the corrupted demons to the front.
I thought it would be swarming with monsters from the beginning of the dungeon, but the surroundings were quieter than I expected.
To prevent his body from stiffening, Kanghu loosened his body by mixing left and right movements appropriately.
Young-ho Ahn also repeatedly activated and released the heel to ensure that the sensation of being pulled up did not decrease.
How long did it take to walk like that?
Ahn Young-ho secretly revealed his true feelings. It seems like it was a frustrating worry to keep to myself.
“older brother. “I have one thing I’m worried about these days, can I tell you?”
“Let’s listen. “If you’re worried about something, you can just say something.”
Perhaps because he saw Ahn Young-ho with low self-esteem earlier, Kang-hoo warned him in advance.
Also, I was thinking of at least scolding him if he timidly said something that lowered his value.
“The atmosphere has been so chaotic these days that I’m worried about my uncle. “The number one target for the Toushi Guild is my uncle.”
“You can’t deny that.”
“You always go out fully prepared, but I’m still worried.”
“Have you ever revealed it to your uncle?”
“Not yet.”
“Keep doing that. In my opinion, Fumiya-sama is putting more effort into safety than anyone else.”
“Is that so?”
“He is someone who understands the weight, responsibility, and symbolism of his position. don’t worry.”
“I guess I was worried for no reason.”
“You can worry. But I’m telling you to shut up inside. “If you add these worries to the other person, they will distort all your stable thoughts.”
“Ah…”
“The way to break perfection is simpler than you think. “If you say something that doesn’t seem perfect, it’s over.”
“I guess it’s not a question of whether it’s perfect or not.”
“yes. Just by raising a topic, the other person keeps thinking about it. “It’s like when you tell people not to think about elephants, they keep thinking about elephants.”
Hearing Kang-hu’s calm tone throughout, Ahn Young-ho also calmed down.
Just a moment ago, Ahn Young-ho was worried that his uncle might fall into danger while he was away.
For a moment, I felt ashamed. Ahn Young-ho quickly changed the topic with a slightly red face.
“Oh, and I’m really thankful and sorry to you, brother. “You have helped me and our guild in many ways.”
“You didn’t do it for free.”
“Still. “Not only I, but my uncle and guild members also look at you differently.”
“You mean you look at it positively?”
“sure! There are a lot of people who have become interested in you! “It’s the same with what happened in the city this time and with Yuuji-related things!”
It was true that the series of events that occurred in Osaka this time significantly increased the value of Kanghu’s name.
Killing the Toushi guild member was portrayed as a heroic act and was exposed to Hunter Gram for quite some time.
Rumors were still spreading within the Rikou guild that Yuuji had been dealt a blow.
It was strange that the rumor didn’t spread since the thank you had been sent from the guild level in the first place.
at that time.
Kishishishish!
The Corrupt Demon reacted.
The Corrupt Demon, which had been maneuvering in the air like an eagle that had found its prey, dived and flew away.
At the spot where the corrupted demon arrived, a ghost-shaped monster stood proudly.
The name is Soul Hunter. It is a monster that is not pleasant in its tone.
It looks exactly like a warlock wearing a black robe and shoots a sphere filled with black smoke.
This sphere separates the soul from the body, and once struck, there is a possibility of separation from the body.
The good news is that the speed of the sphere itself is slow enough that you can avoid it if you concentrate.
However, as time goes by, the number of black smoke spheres, abbreviated as ‘soul spheres’, increases around me.
The key to the strategy was to kill the soul hunter without taking a long time.
Of course, normal attacks don’t work at all. Only attacks using dark or divine power can be used.
Ganghu planned to use the method he had previously established while conquering the Dark Age dungeon.
It’s not complete. Efficiency is not yet good and the level of completion is also low.
However, since it was an important change in the future direction, we were continuing to try even if it was not enough.
It was a matter of adding darkness to basic attacks. This allows it to contain dark age attributes.
I attempted to apply the sensations I felt in my body when using dark age-related skills to basic attacks.
It was not an easy task, but through repeated training, a breakthrough occurred.
Although the efficiency was low, the structure could be improved to use some of the dark energy even in basic attacks.
Thanks to this, the current basic attacks were all effective except for the issue of efficiency.
“Youngho.”
“yes?”
“I told you this before I came to the dungeon. “If you feel like you have some free time while assisting me, try treating the Soul Hunter as well.”
“…Can it be done?”
“Think about it after you try it. “Don’t pre-censor.”
“I understand, brother.”
“Don’t think about how difficult it is. Think of me as a soul hunter. “And I imagine that this guy is on the verge of death, and I use my heals with the intention of doing everything I can to heal him.”
“Ah…”
“It’s not that you don’t have the talent to be a combat healer. “We just haven’t found a way yet.”
“I will try.”
“huh. try. Even if it doesn’t work out, keep trying. “You have to lose to get your money’s worth, right?”
“Yes brother!”
“Then let’s go.”
Ganghu immediately started rushing towards the soul hunter.
With perfect timing, the Corruptor also performed a circling maneuver that continued to confuse the Soul Hunter’s vision.
Although it doesn’t have the ability to attack, it is still capable of causing annoyance by constantly giggling in front of it.
Shhh!
When Ganghu was seen approaching, the soul hunter launched a soul sphere.
The moving speed of the sphere is about the speed of an adult walking quickly. So, if you are aware of it, you can avoid it.
However, once you reach a 30m radius point, it bounces back as if there is a wall and comes back…
so it was a good idea to input the predicted path you will return to in your head. Otherwise, you will be hit by a blind sphere.
“after!”
Sigh!
Ganghu slashed the soul hunter’s body with a basic attack using a dagger.
Originally, it would have been an attack that just cut through the air without any meaning.
However, because it was an attack that somehow captured the dark ages, a red line was drawn on the soul hunter’s body.
The effect was created as if the soul hunter’s body had been wounded along the path the dagger moved.
Of course, that alone did not kill the soul hunter.
It was more of a symbolic sign that damage had been done, and the body was not actually split that much.
‘It’s still not efficient. ‘It doesn’t seem to be even 10% of what I thought.’
It’s a valid attack, but not fatal. It was a cold-hearted assessment.
It seemed like it needed a lot of polishing. There is no need to worry too much as it is now just a baby step.
Still, the spirit hunter, who was in good spirits, paused for a moment, perhaps because Ganghu inflicted wounds even with a basic attack.
in between.
Ganghu used the illusion technique Shadow Walk to disturb the guy’s vision as much as possible.
[Black Moon Crush]
Used the hidden skill.
It was a skill that Ganghu had been using consistently while conquering undead dungeons.
Since I couldn’t kill a ghost-type monster without using Black Moon Crush, I used it for almost all attacks.
It took quite a while to attack it because it had to go through such a dark period and wait for recovery.
Psying!
Soon, the Black Moon Crush that started from the tip of Ganghu’s dagger flew toward the soul hunter, making a bizarre sound.
The sound of death!
However, for a soul hunter encountering this type of attack for the first time, it was an incomprehensible dirge.
Same time.
Ahn Young-ho was lost in doubt when he saw the unidentified skill projectile sent by Kang-hu.
Earlier, when it was said that Ganghu had conquered an undead type dungeon.
I thought I would have passed by and attacked all the ghost-type monsters like soul hunters.
Since I did not directly observe the strategy, I judged it based on ‘common sense’.
Killing ghost-type monsters is only possible in a form that matches their attributes.
In other words, unless Ganghu, the assassin, possessed dark or divine power, he could not kill the soul hunter.
As is well known, the form of handling special stats like this is not common.
If it is difficult to secure stats, there is no need to talk about skills.
Even if you had the stats, there were quite a few cases where you couldn’t use them because you didn’t have the skills.
However, Ganghu used the skill as if he had been prepared.
‘Not to mention that your brother possesses a dark age, and even has skills to utilize it?’
That’s true under the circumstances.
The soul hunter is not a very easy opponent. He is considered quite a picky guy.
Even if you can handle the dark period, you will need to engage in multiple engagements to inflict any significant damage on him…
Pow!
Just when it was thought necessary, the soul hunter struck by Ganghu’s Black Moon Slash exploded on the spot.
It instantly shattered into hundreds of pieces, like a water balloon that had been pierced through the center with a needle. It was instant death.
“….”
Ahn Young-ho’s fingertips trembled greatly.
Not only is it not enough to handle the dark ages, but he also knows how to utilize dark age skills.
That’s why I went to the undead dungeon alone with confidence. There was a reason for Kanghu’s confidence.
Ahn Young-ho, who had no experience with hidden skills, did not expect that Black Moon Crush would be a hidden skill.
Still, the power was clearly imprinted in my eyes.
The soul hunter ended his life with one blow. It was a stage that ended without even a chance to practice being a combat healer.
“I can’t control my strength. “I tried to let him practice at the last minute, but he sent me away in one go.”
The sight of Kang-hu coming to his side and apologizing for ending it all in one blow was the highlight.
Kang-hu, a lifesaver, older brother, and excellent assassin, makes light of this terrible situation.
What are his limits?
Even Ahn Young-ho, who had developed a keen eye for insight under his talented maternal uncle, could not even guess.
There is a monster in front of me.
