Episode 134 Jeju Island (3)
* * *
While Kang Hu is amazed at the scenery and flow of Jeju Island, which was never discussed in depth in the original work.
The members of the Guru Guild’s attack group, waiting for the arrival of Bleeding Dealer Ganghu, were talking to each other.
The leader of the attack team was a man named Majinho.
He is also the third-in-command who acts on behalf of the guild master and deputy guild master who are currently active overseas.
Majinho was a level 435 main tank and was like a textbook on tanking, with his entire body made up of muscles.
“Why is this damn bleeding option only easy for assassins and berserkers to deal with?”
Ma Jin-ho made a noise of disgust.
Other occupations can also create bleeding effects, but the duration is very short and the skill cooldown is long.
The bleeding effect is not an effect that causes blood to bleed when cut with a sword.
This is natural, and internal recovery and healing must be suppressed during the bleeding process.
This was really influenced by the class.
The level 200 basic skills of assassins and berserkers were bleeding-type skills. It is a form that can be used at all times.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Accelerated Stab, one of the assassin’s basic skills, becomes ‘Bleeding Stab’ when the maximum proficiency is reached.
However, it is easy to say, but achieving maximum proficiency was a very difficult and arduous task.
To put it simply, it would be faster to reach level 200 than to max out the accelerated stabbing proficiency.
“I heard there are many options for colon bleeding?”
“First of all, it has a bleeding stab, not an accelerated stab.”
“Wow… You said you’ve only recently passed level 100, so you’ve already reached the maximum level of proficiency?”
“They say so. There’s no way you’re bluffing when you’re even receiving a request. “Yerin Lee didn’t even introduce someone like that.”
“Did you just eat and practice stabbing all day?”
“Anyway, I think that’s the base. “They say there is also an option to make the bleeding condition worse.”
“Is it an item?”
“I didn’t feel the need to explain every single detail, so I explained it in a lumpy way.”
“If you believe the contents literally, the specs are pretty good, right?”
“I know. “It’s a shame that the level is so low, but we didn’t ask for a damage dealer.”
“It’s harder to find a true bleeding dealer than a healer. It’s really precious. “Internal training is too difficult.”
“I know yeah.”
Majinho scratched the back of his head.
It wasn’t that I hadn’t tried training a bleeding dealer at the Guru Guild.
It is not possible to only recruit external mercenaries every time, and a lot of effort has been put in at the guild level for a long time.
However, assassins and berserkers were primarily based on close combat, so their risk exposure was high.
Moreover, when the core task was to ‘maintain bleeding’, one had to stay close to the target regardless of the reason.
There were always casualties here.
Bleeding dealers sometimes have to actively stick to their targets and work hard to maintain bleeding.
High-risk situations used to come to us like a meal. There was no talented person who could withstand this.
High-level raiders who couldn’t find a bleeding dealer looked for dungeons that didn’t require bleeding for that reason.
Of course, this is a stopgap measure.
A dungeon without bleeding means it is a low-level dungeon, and the rewards are lower accordingly.
It may be safe and easy, but it means losing a lot of growth momentum.
“uh? “A person named Shin Kang-hoo has been added to the kill list at Eclipse this time?”
“This is what we said yesterday, Jihoon….”
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I guess I dozed off yesterday.”
“Concentrate. “I told him to relax, but I didn’t tell him to lose his mind.”
“Yes, sorry.”
Although a raid member named Jihoon spoke behind his back, everyone was actually curious about Kanghu because of this.
Even though they hated Eclipse, the average hunter didn’t like to pretend to be.
This could lead to a bad situation with Eclipse’s investigators. Still, it’s best not to see the end.
Either continue to avoid it or cooperate with Eclipse to find a compromise.
That was the hunters’ usual response. This is because Kang Dong-hyun is more persistent than you might think.
However, Kang-hoo seemed to have taken the lives of the two investigators who threatened him without hesitation.
To put it in a bad way, it feels like living in a state of pride, but in a good way, it feels like being confident in one’s own abilities.
Ma Jin-ho wanted to see whether Kang-hoo was great or reckless based on that slight difference.
– It will arrive soon.
Then I got a call.
It looks like the safety limousine carrying Kang-hu has arrived.
“Everyone, let’s get up. Let’s test it quickly and if there are no problems, let’s jump into the dungeon right away.”
Majinho stood up.
It’s time to welcome guests.
* * *
‘Jeon Jong-du will also be a child next to me. ‘Is it a human being or is it a human model made by attaching tires?’
The word that came to mind when Kang-hoo saw Ma Jin-ho for the first time was ‘muscle monster.’
With a little bit of lying, it seemed like even if the three Ganghus stood side by side, they would be hidden from view.
Of course, there were some breaking points.
“Ugh! punishment! “It’s a punishment!”
When a fly flew past my ear, I suddenly sat down, covering my head with my arms.
“It’s not a giant bee, it’s just a fly. “What are you doing now?”
“That’s punishment, man! hmm. Hmm.”
Ma Jin-ho’s face hardened as he tried to act like he was okay, but Kang-hoo had already seen the whole situation.
From the first meeting, I wanted to set the tone appropriately, but I became a fearful person who was afraid of flies.
Before an embarrassing atmosphere enveloped his entire body, Majinho deliberately raised his voice and welcomed Kanghu.
“welcome! Welcome to Jeju Island! “My name is Majinho, and I am the CEO of Guru Guild.”
“This is Shin Kang-hoo. There is no separate affiliation. “It’s nice to meet you all, including Majinho.”
Ganghu politely greeted each and every member of the attack team lined up behind Majinho.
All wizards were men and all archers were women. Rather than saying I did it on purpose, I guess it just happened like that.
“Shall we go straight to the test? “I heard from Lee Ye-rin that she hates ostentation.”
“Let’s go. “Because we can talk as we go.”
“It’s right around here. “We will conduct bleeding-related tests in our own dungeon.”
“It’s comfortable. “I guess it’s an open type?”
“That’s right. The interior is completely controlled by our guild. “There is no problem at all.”
Following Ma Jin-ho’s guidance, I walked next to him at the same pace.
Perhaps because of his large size, I felt like the earth was shaking every time I took a step.
Kang-hoo asked Ma Jin-ho a question to satisfy the curiosity he had been curious about the entire time.
“excuse me.”
“yes?”
“Are the guild master and assistant guild master absent?”
“yes. The two of you are in Sweden. “You are participating in dungeon raids as a long-term project there.”
“It doesn’t seem like absence is a big problem.”
“Yes. As you know, our guild based on Jeju Island is completely neutral.”
“Are there any variables?”
“Not at all. “In Jeju Island, even if Jang Si-hwan of the Jeonghwa Guild comes, he will be treated as the same hunter.”
“okay.”
Ganghu nodded.
The fact that I secretly asked about the current situation in Jeju Island was a kind of insurance for the future.
If you get caught up in the Eclipse or Purification Guild, your life on the mainland becomes complicated.
It was a calculation to see if Jeju Island could be used as a temporary refuge.
Considering the current situation, it seemed quite possible.
* * *
As soon as I entered the dungeon, what came into view was a monster tightly tied up with a thick rope.
I saw the body glow green and then disappear at regular intervals.
It was definitely a monster with its own recovery mechanism.
Majinho added an explanation.
“As you can see from the status window, the name is too long. We just call it No. 1. “Experiment No. 1.”
“I see.”
The name of the monster was a word of ten letters, like the scientific name of a dinosaur.
I didn’t want to look at every single one of them, so I decided to refer to Kang Hoo-do as No. 1.
“We used it a lot for practice, so we know its pattern and condition well. Just show it to me.”
“Then excuse me for a moment.”
Ganghu rushed straight towards No. 1.
In the first place, I wasn’t trying to see how he would fight him, but rather seeing his bleeding ability.
Kang Hu was also able to deal with the situation right away without any tension.
【Bleeding stabbing】
As expected, the start was a bleeding stabbing.
“Uuuuuuu!”
Ignoring No. 1’s reaction to the dagger attack, Ganghu quickly delivered a bleeding stab.
Soon, more than 10 stabs were made and the bleeding accumulated to 10 stacks.
[Limited recovery ability]
An additional debuff has been activated for No. 1. Recovery ability is limited.
Sigh!
Soon, No. 1 attempted to recover using the recovery mechanism activated at existing intervals.
However, it was maintained for less than half of the original time and the effect was minimal.
Kang-hu had a part of him that he believed in.
【Bleeding Enhancement】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv Max】
【Increases the effectiveness of skills with existing bleeding effects from 2 to 3 times at random.】 Bleeding
Enhancement, a passive skill obtained while going to Yeosu the other day.
Here.
【Blood Gluttony】
【When the bleeding condition is applied to the target, the bleeding condition worsens by 50%.】
Thanks to the effect of the ring ‘Blood Gluttony’, the effect of bleeding has been maximized.
Bleeding The maximum amount of bleeding from a stab is 2 seconds, so you must make a new attack within that time.
Thanks to these two effects, it was possible to increase the update timing from a minimum of 4 seconds to a maximum of 6 seconds.
In addition, by further aggravating the bleeding condition, the recovery efficiency was reduced from 50% to far below.
If they had asked me to show a fight, I would have had to move more fluidly.
However, since they said they would only test the bleeding ability, Kang-hoo just stabbed the dagger with a dull expression.
Thanks to this, only No. 1 continued to cry out in pain and twist his body around.
“I think that’s a bit of a scam.”
Then one of the female archers spoke. Jihye Kim. He was a veteran of the Guru Guild.
Ma Jin-ho had already figured it out, but he asked Ji-hye Kim to see if everyone was thinking the same thing.
“Jihye, what do you think?”
“Maintaining bleeding seems to be very easy thanks to bleeding stabbing. First of all, basic skills use little mana to begin with.”
“yes.”
“Actually, I thought I could eat it all and go in with just that. “We just need to bleed out.”
“Keep talking.”
“But the bleeding efficiency and longevity are very good. “It seems like the sustain is at least 4 seconds, and the recovery inhibition goes up to 75% instead of 50%.”
“You saw it correctly.”
Next, No. 1 tried to increase his stamina by making several great recovery attempts, but he was always frustrated by poor recovery.
Not only that, but it also activated its own purification buff to stop the bleeding.
Phew.
Ganghu too easily renewed new bleeding.
“Ha-am…”
He even stretched and yawned peacefully next to No. 1.
A precious guest has arrived.
Although no one said it out loud, deep inside they thought that a very excellent mercenary had arrived.
Verification was completed without further examination. The hearts of Guru’s guild members were completely captivated.
