Episode 12 Club Hades (1)
* * *
Kanghu looked curious after seeing the information about the constellation that signed a contract with Sangmi Yoon.
【Gentleman Sword Emperor】
【Neutral tendency constellation. It supports the use of the power of wind in all attacks using a sword.】
To put it simply, it is a swordsman who creates a sword wind.
Although it is not as good as the Auror Blade in a fantasy novel, it can confuse the opponent by creating wind in addition to attacking with a sword.
The reason Ganghu was curious was because the Galeunggeomje constellation was not unfamiliar to him.
It was one of the ideas that came to mind in passing during my time as an original writer. I wish there was a constellation like this.
In that case, it was clear that his unconsciousness was naturally reflected somewhere in the world.
As Kang-hu was silently examining the battlefield again, Yoon Sang-mi pointed in one direction and said.
“Bastard will be pushed out.”
“no. That’s because Bastard intentionally gave space to Pyeongjeong. “It’s a lure.”
Their judgment of the situation differed.
In fact, no matter who won, there was no change in the fact that the bad guy was the winner.
Is that why?
Feeling like the situation had been decided to some extent, the interest that had been sparked cooled down.
Yoon Sang-mi must have been thinking the same thing as she stood up, shaking off her pants, and asked Kang-hu.
“He looks like a handsome vampire from some movie. My face is very pale. Are you sick?”
I don’t know if he was handsome, but I always thought he was pale. The impact of congenital mana hypersensitivity will be significant.
“You always have to look sick.”
There was no denial.
Even in the original work, a treatment for congenital mana hypersensitivity was not found until the ending.
Of course, it was resolved in a different way.
Because Shin Kang-hu died. It’s more of a liberation than a solution.
“Where are we going now?”
“Daejeon Station.”
“······oh! really? “I was about to go too.”
“Seeing as the response was a beat late, it seems like it wasn’t the destination from the beginning.”
“no. It’s close. I was thinking of going. “I never thought I would meet a friend like this by chance!”
It’s a unique character.
Hunters usually do not act friendly with each other unless trust has been established over a long period of time.
Since it is an ugly world, people are naturally reluctant to accompany or ride together. But it wasn’t Yoon Sang-mi.
‘I guess that means he’s confident in his own skills.’
If you are confident that you can take good care of yourself, there is actually no problem with going with an open mind.
It is not uncommon for someone to trust someone and then get stabbed in the back, killed, or kidnapped.
But it doesn’t matter as long as you have the power.
“Then let’s take the safety bus. “The station area bothers me.”
Ganghu pointed to the Hunters of Peace who were caught up in Bastard’s decoys and began to retreat to Osan Station.
It seems that the battle will drag on for a long time, using the subway structure as cover.
The safety bus is a bus directly guarded by multiple armed hunters, including those who use magic bullets.
Safety during transportation can be guaranteed as much as the expensive fare.
Kang-hu decided to choose the easy way.
* * *
Inside a running bus.
Sang-mi Yoon, sitting next to him, fell asleep, hugging Daegeom tightly like a teddy bear.
Her broken neck often touched Kang-hu’s shoulder, but Kang-hu didn’t even pay attention. Of course, I didn’t push him away.
A limited amount of leeway.
Kang-hu looked at the items he obtained after killing Kim Mok-hyeon.
Things that were worn but whose composition could not be confirmed.
【Molis Maniche – Gloves】
【Grade: Grade 5】
【With this one-handed cotton glove item, you can immediately retrieve one ‘recognition weapon’ located within 5m.】 【
As soon as you wear it, the color and shape of the hand are assimilated, so the gloves are easily visible from the outside. The shape cannot be determined.】
‘I think it would be best to link it to a dagger.’
This is an item that reduces the burden of throwing a dagger.
This is because you can check the enemy by throwing and retrieve a dropped or stuck dagger with a simple hand gesture rather than pulling it out with your own hand.
Dramatically reduces copper waste in weapon recovery.
【Asura’s Insight – Breastplate】
【Grade: Grade 5】
【Mana +50】
【However, you can change it to health +50 by using the conversion option. Switching standby time is 24 hours.】
‘There was a part of me that believed.’
I felt like I knew why Kim Mok-hyeon was full of confidence in battle. I received 50 mana stat support.
If there wasn’t a conversion option, Kanghu wouldn’t have been very impressed. Because the thirst for mana is low.
However, with the conversion option, the value of Asura’s Insight has changed.
This is the best component.
The conversion was completed right away.
If I hadn’t looked closely, I would have lost my stamina.
Now there’s only one left.
【War God’s Yugi – Ring】
【Rank: 5th grade】
【Toughness +50】
【Can be upgraded one level higher by using the special material Redstone.】
Stubbornness that greatly increases defense against physical attacks.
The value was high because the more the more the better.
Moreover, since it is a ring that can be worn on ten fingers, it is less burdensome to wear.
In addition, I decided to sell the two items that increase magical power as they are unnecessary stats for duplicate areas.
“······.”
After checking, Kanghu looked around and saw that several hunters on the bus were also asleep.
The guards were constantly looking out the window, and several motorcycles with the Bastard seal came and went.
However, when he realized that he could end up with a hole in his forehead if he touched the wrong guard, he walked away from the road.
‘Should I go to Seoul?’
Suddenly, Seoul came to mind.
If you exclude all desires for dungeons or leveling up, there is actually no place as safe as Seoul.
There, even if you drop your wallet while walking, no one will touch it.
If you touch it, all you have to do is try to find its owner. Or people from the Hunter Police Department.
However, the problem is the exorbitant cost of over 20,000 won for a single thin can of Coke.
It is a price for safety.
‘Still, a wild beast cub is better than a zoo beast.’
Kanghu organized his thoughts.
A person who has smelled blood is better at smelling blood and a person who has fought in a fight is more likely to sting one more time.
Thirteen stars.
Every minute of meaningless peace is a waste if you want to have the skills to surpass all of the cunning demon lord’s collaborators.
Coo thump!
“Huh! Churp!”
When the bus hit a bump, Sang-mi Yoon, who was in a deep sleep, hurriedly wiped the bottom of his mouth.
As long as I can be sure that I am safe even for a moment, I can fall into a deep sleep without any worries.
It was a cross-section of the reality of hunters living in this world.
A world where the value of life has fallen.
* * *
When Kang-hoo arrived at Daejeon Station, he planned to meet Lee Ye-rin with Yoon Sang-mi.
It was too late at night and Ye-rin Lee was also working outside, so the timing wasn’t right.
So, the appointment was pushed back to the next morning, and naturally the night time was free.
I stopped by a fairly well-known bar near Daejeon Station, but for some reason it was closed today.
“Why don’t you just wander around and refresh yourself with a cocktail at our fight club?”
Thanks to this, Kang-hoo and Yoon Sang-mi were caught by a thief who was soliciting customers nearby.
I just wanted to have a drink, and I was confident that I could at least take care of myself in case of emergency.
Kang-hoo and Yoon Sang-mi headed to a nearby underground fight club.
The name of the club was Hades.
Club Hades, whose entrance starts from the 3rd basement floor, had more people than expected.
The hunters’ ‘fight’ had already begun on the special stage built in the center.
It appeared to be a death match as the names of the two people were written on the large monitor installed and the units of money were updated below it.
This is a structure in which the winning hunter and his bettors take the money placed on the dead hunter.
“Can I dance?”
“Whatever you do.”
Ganghu sent a gesture saying he didn’t care.
Because we are just accompanying her, we are not perfect companions.
By the time she moved to the stage and was completely absorbed in the dance.
Kanghu ordered the cocktail he wanted to drink from the moment he entered the special cocktail bar.
“Solarchyum Burst.”
“Ohh? “You’re drinking this?”
“Isn’t it made for drinking?”
“Actually, it’s more of an assortment. Solar Kium tastes so good… Isn’t that right? Tsk tsk.”
The red-haired bartender with impressive smoky makeup shook his shoulders and smiled.
The taste of Solakium was definitely difficult to compare openly. It’s a taste that only adults know.
“are you okay. “Because I like it.”
Kang-hu added 100,000 won more than the original price and offered it to her.
Here’s a tip.
In these vocal fight clubs, bartenders often sell quite useful information.
Of course, it has a strong lottery feel.
If the bartender knows little, he or she may come up with useless information that is merely a personal trick.
So, there were many cases where people casually gave tips and listened to stories, thinking of winning the lottery.
she asks.
“This is our first meeting, right?”
Nod. A silent answer.
“My name is Benny.”
Benny. It’s a commonly used pseudonym, so it’s a name you’re likely to forget after a few days.
Benny worked hard to make a cocktail according to the recipe and bowed his head a little more to Kanghu.
Because the outfit was so revealing, just bending over created a quite dizzying sight.
Kanghu was only looking at Benny’s face in surprise. As if he didn’t see any reason to look away.
Benny let out a slightly amused laugh, but I thought that might be the case since there are many asexual people.
Anyway, it’s time to tip.
“There is a rumor that there is a dungeon entrance on the 7th floor of the basement of Fight Club, which is unknown to the outside world. “Someone went in, but no one came out?”
The building apparently had 6 floors underground. The same thing happened when I looked at the signs in the lobby and the buttons in the elevator.
It was not an empty statement, since dungeons are a privilege.
Maybe the dungeon was kept secret because it was an ‘open dungeon’ that anyone could enter at any time.
Since it is always open, you must be able to block the inflow so that you can control the inside of the dungeon when necessary.
Kang-hu was about to ask why he tried to tell him that, but swallowed his words.
What the bartender says is most likely bluff or rumor. Just listen carefully.
“And there is talk that Blue Moon will soon merge with Eclipse. But if that happens…”
Right then.
Wow! Clink!
At the same time, the sound of glasses and glass breaking was heard here and there.
Then, among the crowd full of clubbers, a fairly large group of men exposed their sleeves.
An organization made with a seal in the shape of three swords arranged diagonally. It was Eclipse.
“hmm.”
I had a rough idea of what the situation was.
This is a fight club run by the Blue Moon organization, a relatively moderate group.
