Episode 115 Park Dong-jae (1)

‘I think it would be welcome no matter how many contracts I get like this. It’s a pity, but I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with what I tried once.’
Ganghu looked at the pure black seeker who had joined the ‘Main Constellation’ of the same status as the Dimension Stealer.
Constellation privileges are very special benefits that can only be enjoyed when you become the main constellation.
Thanks to the twisted contract, the main constellation was increased by one without any problems of order or balance.
I was able to enjoy the privileges given by the Pure Dark Seeker in addition to the privileges I had previously enjoyed from the Dimension Stealer.
Since I had not passed the Constellation Test separately, I had gained three advantages.
The first one was given a ‘Dark Age’ stat of 100.
A seventh stat is created in the stats commonly used by all hunters: strength, agility, stamina, magic, anti-darkness, and tenacity.
Hunters usually call this a special stat, and it is considered rare in itself.
This is because there are special skills that can only be used with special stats, and these have considerable power.
I haven’t yet acquired the skill to replace magic power with darkness.
Even with this, the basic base of the Dark Ages was created without any intermediate processes, thus saving a lot of time.
In general, if you want to take the route of directly awakening the Dark Age stats…
it is complicated to write down every detail and requires a long journey of at least 3 years. Still, the cold reality is whether it will work or not.
Second, he was given the ability to recover 1 darkness per minute.
As a seeker of pure darkness, this is a great ability that can be given to a contractor.
Normally, the Dark Age can only be recovered by converting magical power to the Dark Age or by going to a place where the Dark Age is located.
The second special benefit made it possible to restore all of the dark energy in 100 minutes even if all of it was exhausted.
This is one of the reasons why Jang Si-hwan did not spare any use of dark times in the original work, no matter where he was fighting.
Third, it was possible to suppress the irregularity, volatility, and unexpectedness inherent in the dark ages.
It is something you can completely control. By the power of the constellation.
Since this ability was taken away from Jang Si-hwan, it is obvious how great the loss will be.
For example, it would be the same as having the dimension stealer stolen from Ganghu. The foundation of all calculations is shaken.
Now, even when writing Dark Ages, Jang Si-hwan has to pay much more attention than usual.
Dark times can arise in unexpected places.
Or the dark ages evaporate without reason.
The situation was like having one of the wheels of a running car punctured, so it was very far from ‘stability’.
‘Dark Age skills are the key.’
The foundation has been built, but there is still a long way to go. Without Dark Age skills, Dark Age is useless.
To increase the value of use, stealing skills is essential, but skills related to the Dark Ages were difficult to supply domestically.
This is because there are few undead-type monsters with useful skills. We must turn our attention abroad.
at that time.
【It would give me a headache to see another guy take over the main constellation. Why on earth did you bring this guy?
Or, more than that, how is this contract that allows you to maintain the same status as me valid?】
The Dimension Stealer protested.
The ‘this guy’ mentioned here probably refers to a seeker of pure darkness.
Even though she was a very high-ranking constellation, her spirit was worthy of recognition for being able to call her a bastard.
“I wrote something called a twisted contract. “It is a contract approved by the Great Seongjeon, so there is no problem.”
【I knew that the work at Daeseongjeon wasn’t perfect, but why don’t you throw away the crazy contract form?】
“Go and ask about that in person.”
Kanghu smiled and answered.
This is a story that must be shared in the world of constellations.
As the party who obtained the contract, he was just good at finding loopholes and using them cleverly.
However, the story that followed was surprising even to Kang-hoo.
【I never imagined that I would meet my ex-lover here. If you’re a woman, you’re trash.】
“…?”
That means.
Are you saying that the Dimension Stealer and the Seeker of Pure Darkness were former lovers? Like your relationship with Han Seo-yeon?
【Nice to meet you, new contractor. I don’t know since when you’ve been aware of me. I’m embarrassed.】
The pure black seeker completely ignored the dimension stealer’s words and spoke to Ganghu.
You too will be embarrassed.
I suddenly parted ways with Jang Si-hwan, who was the main contractor, and was connected to a new contractor.
If that wasn’t enough, it would be even more shocking if the new contract’s main constellation was his former lover.
“I don’t think there will be any problems since the relationship was concluded according to a contract.”
【My thoughts are simple. No matter what contract is written, the power of the Great Crusade is absolute and I will respect it.
And if he is clever enough to find and use such a contract, he would be a good candidate for a new contract.】
“Thank you if you think so. There will be no disappointment. “It’s always been that way.”
[What happens between her and me is our problem. We’ll take care of it, so you don’t have to worry too much.】
[You crazy person! How can they handle it on their own…】
【The constellation ‘Pure Darkness Seeker’ exerts strong control and blocks the contents of the conversation from being revealed.】 An
old lover who unexpectedly reunites.
The problem between the two is a problem for them to solve. The Dimension Stealer, who already has so many enemies, looks as if his head will fall out.

Kang-hu returned to the hotel he had already booked, changed into comfortable clothes, and watched news about hunters on TV.
Today’s broadcasts have a lot of interesting content, including entertainment and movies.
Kanghu had never watched such a channel before.
When I turn on TV, there is always one channel I watch. The Hunter News Channel was a specialty cable broadcast.
– The purification guild’s all-out attack began about an hour ago.
– The Purification Guild announced that it will increase the speed of subjugation to prevent further collusion between mercenaries with impure intentions and external forces.
– The Hunter Public Safety Office issued level 2 wanted orders to all 13 members of the Pyeongjeong executive team.
– The charges are drug trafficking and distribution, and kidnapping and human trafficking of a domestic prospect.
“You look pissed.”
Looking at the news, it seemed like Jang Si-hwan was well received despite the heat.
The fact that even the Hunter Public Security Agency is working together like that means that Jang Si-hwan’s influence was definitely involved.
In the original work, the relationship between Hunter Magistrate and the main character, Jang Si-hwan, was good in a ‘good sense’.
Was it a relationship of cooperation for the realization of justice?
However, now that the nature and nature of the whole situation has changed with the ending, the Public Safety Agency is just a collaborator of the villain.
I turned on Hunter Gram just in case.
I don’t use social media, but the one thing I keep track of through social media is Hunter Gram.
Here, you can quickly and easily get news about popular named hunters.
In particular, Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyung, who actively use SNS, always have a constant stream of news on their accounts.
When I entered, there was a battle video that seemed to have just been uploaded.
Words are the battle, in fact it was a video of Jang Si-hwan’s one-sided massacre. The sacrifice is the Tranquility-Bastard Alliance.
It was a cruel scene that could only be viewed with separate authentication, but Jang Si-hwan clearly had no hesitation in his hands.
The comments have already been pre-processed.
The best comment pinned by the author – Jang Si-Hwan – was about the fabricated charges against the dead hunters.
Below that, comments supporting Jang Si-hwan and Jeonghwa Guild were flowing non-stop.
Every time it was automatically updated every 5 seconds, the number of comments increased by dozens.
If a negative comment was posted in the middle, it was immediately hit with a dislike or reported and was filtered out in the first stage.
A manipulated world.
There is no other word that fits better than that.
Seoul is like a huge fortress built by Jang Si-hwan, Chae Gwan-hyung, and Jeonghwa Guild.
There is no separate heaven for those who are on the same side as him, but for those who are on the opposite side, it is hell.
5 minutes later.
Since the news was constantly showing the battle in Osan, Ganghu turned off the TV.
And as a habit, I was doing push-ups while listening to classical music with Bluetooth earphones.
A phone call came in.
It was Jeon Se-hyuk.
“yes.”
– Is it okay to talk?
“I was taking a break. What’s going on? “It’s not like I asked for anything in particular.”
Kanghu tilted his head.
It’s not that I don’t like contact from Jeon Se-hyuk, but it’s because I haven’t created a way to contact him.
It wasn’t long after we broke up that I received a call asking me to go to another dungeon.
Moreover, if it had been that kind of contact, it would have been Ban Se-young. Because Jeon Se-hyuk is watching.
‘ah. ‘Is that so?’
A sudden thought occurred to me.
Something that Jeon Se-hyuk finds himself in. For some reason, it seemed like what I had in mind was correct.
– Do you remember what I said about Dongjae before? Buffer Park Dong-jae. My dear younger brother.
It was as expected.
“I remember.”
– Um… I don’t know if I can say it.
“You don’t look like the Jeon Se-hyuk I know. You tell me. “Aren’t you going to tell me anyway?”
– Hmm. That’s right.
When I pointed at Jeon Se-hyuk, who hesitated, Jeon cleared his throat. Because what Kang-hu said was right.
He continued.
– Dongjae’s location has been found. We have resolved how to access the necessary information…
“I don’t think infiltration will be a problem, but you seem to be concerned about rescuing and bringing them out.”
– That’s correct.
Infiltration is always like that.
You can get in by looking for a gap here and there.
The problem is when you go in, do your ‘business’ and then leave.
Since some behavioral issues have occurred inside, it is difficult to come out quietly like when infiltrating.
This is even more true when it comes to rescuing hostages. We can’t be quiet because we have to first subdue the guy guarding the hostages.
Park Dong-jae.
He was one of the people Kang Hu coveted the most.
It is true that I am also interested in people like Ban Se-young, Jeong Yu-ri, and Ahn Young-ho.
It was true that compared to the level of interest in Park Dong-jae, he was clearly pushed to second place.
Although I enjoy playing solo.
If a team player had to be chosen, Park Dong-jae would definitely be number 1, no number 0.
“for a moment. “Can I call you back in a minute?”
– it’s okay. I’m sorry it’s night.
“Not at all. I’ll get back to you. then.”
Kang Hu hung up the phone.
Once I got close to Park Dong-jae, I was done thinking about how to take him out.
Among the perks granted to dimension thieves, the fourth is the ability to teleport.
However, there was a confusing part.
So I immediately spoke to the Dimension Stealer.
“Mr. Dimension Stealer. I’m sorry it seems like you’re talking to your ex-boyfriend. “Can you give me an answer?”
【Spoiled bastard. Be polite when speaking.】
“May I ask for your opinion, Dimension Stealer?”
As Kang-hoo quickly changed his stance, the dimension stealer who was about to shoot him was speechless. The answer soon came back.
【Say.】
“Teleportation ability. I know that success is 100% with one person and 50% with two people. “But the standard for myself is always myself.”
I returned to my normal informal speech, but she didn’t really care and answered right away.
【It’s not based on who, but on the number of people.】
“That means when there are two people. “If I use teleportation on just one person other than myself, it’s 100%?”
【right. I didn’t know. There is no mention of ‘I’ or ‘self’ anywhere in the content.】
It was just as the dimension snatcher said.
So I thought the tooltip was ambiguous, but it wasn’t ambiguous, it was just as it was.
Since the structure divides the total number of people with a 100% probability, if there is only one person, success is guaranteed.
‘I will definitely save Park Dong-jae.’
This makes calculations easier.
