Episode 51: Hunting Dog (2)
After returning to the dorm, Kang-hoo thought about a message to send to Lee Hyun-seok.
The problem is that the current Lee Hyun-seok trusts Moon Yoo-seok, his confidant, too much.
Moon Yoo-seok is in charge of most of the internal projects carried out by the warlord ‘Abyss’.
Because it was so close and I believed it so clearly, I didn’t pay any attention even if there was something suspicious.
Moreover, Moon Yoo-seok has also become bold and does not hesitate to steal internal information to the outside world.
‘The problem is whether you believe an anonymous email sent by someone you’ve never seen.’
First, I wrote down the contents of the email.
The content included several points about an internal project related to Moon Yoo-seok’s betrayal.
If you do a thorough investigation, you can clearly see that Moon Yoo-seok has contacts with the Jeonghwa guild.
I also thought about collecting the evidence from the scene myself and delivering it to them.
For example, secretly filming a video of Moon Yoo-seok meeting a hunter from the Jeonghwa guild.
However, there was not much time left until Moon Yoo-seok’s betrayal, so if things went wrong, Lee Hyun-seok could have died before then.
‘okay. If you send it via secure email, it will be somewhat trustworthy. It means that they even know inside information.’
Kang-hoo remembered Lee Hyun-seok’s secure email address, not his public email address.
Just add security (qhdks) to his public email address by typing in English on the keyboard.
Since it was a part set in the original work, it immediately came to mind.
In times like these, memory is very helpful. Because I wrote it myself, I remember it even more clearly.
If Lee Hyun-seok takes the contents of the email seriously, an issue will arise for Moon Yoo-seok in the near future.
Either die or disappear without a word.
However, if there is no response within a week, you should be prepared to take action yourself.
Abyss is a good organization for Ganghu to use as a chess piece in the future. At least it’s about the size of a car.
That’s why I didn’t want to look at Lee Hyun-seok’s death in vain. This future must change.
After a while.
“It’s over.”
Kanghu pressed the send email button and threw his smartphone outside the bathroom.
As I had some free time after a long time, I was going to take a half-body bath and organize my thoughts about Cha So-hee.
Even in the original work, Cha So-hee was a character that took a lot of effort to create.
Since Kang Dong-hyun was portrayed as an important character from the beginning, the role naturally went to Cha So-hee, his confidant.
‘But I didn’t make it perfect.’
Cha So-hee has a distinct weakness. I have always covered up my weaknesses with my strengths, but they are not non-existent.
“Whoa….”
Diving into hot water.
Ganghu drew a picture of the battle, immersed in his own world where he could not hear any sound.
Even if it’s not Kang Dong-hyun, I’m ready to bite Kang Dong-hyun’s hunting dog.
* * *
4 a.m.
Kang Hu was already at Gwangju Songjeong Station, ready to leave.
I had reserved the first train to Seoul.
Estimated departure time is 6 am.
I went to four bus terminals just in case, but Eclipse hunters were already there.
He had taken a seat in the terminal waiting room, as if telling me not to even think about coming here.
Let alone getting on the bus, even just entering the entrance felt like a bloody breeze would blow.
In fact, the role was forced.
The area around Gwangju Songjeong Station was like a huge melting pot, so regular roads could not be used.
This is because there are many obstacles and cover erected there, and four forces are intertwined and fighting.
If you drive your car onto the road without thinking, you never know when and where you will die unexpectedly.
KTX, which uses rail, is the only safe means of transportation that is not affected by roads.
‘If I can’t reach this point, I’ll take the first train at 6 o’clock. Or something else.’
Click.
I took a sip of the can of coffee I had brought with me.
The canned coffee I bought at the market contained stimulating ingredients, so I felt alert just by taking a sip.
Thanks to enjoying the half-body bath, I felt like my tired body had regained some elasticity.
gulp-. gulp-.
The surroundings were so quiet that the sound of coffee being drunk could clearly be heard.
The feeling of being in the middle of a no-man’s land with no people.
Ganghu thoroughly enjoyed the silence.
Right then.
Weeeeeee.
The escalator that had been stopped until now began to move.
An escalator that won’t move first unless someone gets on it.
Not many people come to the station at this time.
Kang-hu stood up from his seat.
Then, he grabbed the bloodstream backwards and stared straight ahead.
At the same time, I took out the Mad Solakium and was ready to eat it at any time.
We also looked again at the contents of the item amulet required to maintain the awakened state.
I have been using the state of awakening all along, but I am trying to tap on the stone bridge once more.
【Evil God’s Amulet】
【Grade: None】
【Consumes 1 mana per second to enter ‘awakening’ state. Skill casting time is reduced.】
‘It’s an excellent talisman for causing mana hypersensitivity. It’s dangerous without Mad Solarchium.’
Since it is a talisman that continuously consumes mana, it is essential to be free from all pain.
In any case, once the mana supply and demand issue is resolved, the Evil God’s Talisman enables high-speed skill firing.
This is because casting time is dramatically reduced.
Fighting using constant coordination was essential for Ganghu.
Especially against someone like Cha So-hee.
Soon, a customer on the escalator appeared.
‘Cha Sohee.’
It was as expected.
She was a woman with a firm hairstyle, always maintaining a C-curl bob with black hair.
Tak, tak, tak, tak.
The footsteps were getting closer.
Although the distance was quite far, the sound of footsteps pierced my ears as clearly as if I was hearing them right next to me.
“What a rat. “I finally found it.”
“You didn’t spend too much labor cost just to catch that one rat, right?”
“shut up.”
When Kang-hoo hit the nail on the head, Cha So-hee frowned and responded sharply.
It wasn’t wrong.
The number of informants from all over the world who were mobilized to obtain information about Ganghu easily exceeded hundreds.
In fact, Cha So-hee always had the thought of whether it was worth doing something like this.
However, since it was an order from Kang Dong-hyeon, his respected superior and benefactor, he had no choice but to carry out it.
That’s how much Kang Dong-hyun was interested in Kang Hu.
He wanted to make it his ‘thing’.
“I managed to find it.”
“They laid out a sign for you to come here. “I guess you didn’t like it when I saw you came even though you knew?”
“What do you want to say?”
“I wonder if you waited here because you were planning to follow me obediently. “Isn’t that right?”
Even as they were talking, Cha So-hee was approaching Kang-hoo one step at a time.
“no. “The hunting dog was chasing me, so I waited with the intention of cutting it down and leaving.”
“Foot. Are you cutting me? Kill me? “Do you think that’s possible?”
“Make your comments moderate. “If you look at novels or movies, the people who say that have a short lifeline.”
“okay? “In the novels I read, people with talent like you are the first to die, right?”
“I know what to say. I’ll tell you in advance. “My answer is No.”
“I was already worried.”
“…?”
“I wanted to kill you from the beginning! So I was hoping it wasn’t just a yes, but they dug the grave for me?”
It was a trend that was expected from the beginning, so there was nothing new about it.
A battle with Cha So-hee is inevitable.
Ganghu decided to use one of the two stones he had.
This is because defense is more important than anything else when dealing with her, a magic hunter.
【You can upgrade the ‘Self-Defense – Level 1’ skill to the ‘Self-Defense – Level 2’ skill using a red stone.】 【
Stage 2 follows the composition of Self-Defense – Level 1, but uses 25% of your mana to increase 1 The level is reactivated.】
In other words, the original self-defense level 1 has a waiting time of 1 hour after use.
Level 2 of Self-Defense allows you to use 25% of your mana, ignoring the waiting time, and use it again.
Then, it can be a strategic option to block the opponent’s repeated deadly attacks.
‘I’m definitely nervous this time.’
The time has come to fight the battle of your life.
Cha So-hee is already full of venom.
Looking at it objectively, she, who was level 250, was a significantly more skilled person than Ganghu, who was level 51.
We looked at Cha So-hee’s constellation information that had been scanned.
【Great Sage of Gangdong】
【This is a constellation that can see through the invisible. Even when one target is designated and hidden, his/her appearance can be identified in an opaque form.】
【Master of the Art of Living】
【He has lived his entire eighty years with only the art of living, and is a man of great standing who even rose to the position of Prime Minister.
His skill in dealing can be used once by instantly replicating the skill recently used by the opponent with 25% efficiency.】
【Blacksmith of Flame】
【Fire attribute increases by 250%.】
【Blacksmith of Deterioration】
【Fire attribute increases by 250. Increases by %.】
‘If you are caught in fire, you will go to the underworld without even seeing anything. By the way, all the constellations are attractive, aren’t they?’
Ganghu’s eyes sparkled.
In particular, I was more interested in Gangdong’s great sages and masters of the art of living, as they had a lot of room for use.
The thought of these constellations signing a contract with Cha So-hee makes me feel sick to my stomach.
Kaduk!
Without any further thought, I chewed the Mad Solakium.
It’s difficult to have fun hiding against her.
Furthermore, fire was really dangerous because there were two constellations that strengthened the fire attribute.
This is an enemy that is already good at using fire, but its properties are fully maximized.
“Looking at it, it looks like they are also dabbling in drugs. “Can your body withstand that?”
Cha So-hee, who doesn’t know much about Mad Solarchium, pointed to Kang-hoo’s mouth, which was clenching as he guessed.
“I will live longer than you, so don’t worry. Come on! “Finish it quickly and either get on the train or go to hell.”
Ganghu lowered himself.
It is a stance to enter into battle.
Usually, a strong player maintains the belief that he will win, but Cha So-hee decided to make an exception.
This is because the constellations that signed a contract with her are not easy at all.
It is impossible to let down your guard.
“Finally, I suggest being patient. “If you follow me obediently, nothing will happen.”
“Eat this.”
Kanghu grinned and raised his middle finger towards her without hesitation.
Negotiations quickly broke down.
At that moment, Cha So-hee’s eyes, which had always been black, instantly turned red.
It was the beginning of the battle.
Grumble!
‘Wow, are you crazy?’
Even though the distance was more than 20 meters away, a pillar of fire rose from beneath Ganghu’s feet.
The flames were strong enough to cause severe burns anywhere on the body if the quick evasion skill had not been used immediately.
There was no pre-set spark, but a fire was immediately created!
It was proof that she was specialized in handling flame properties and was not dependent on external conditions.
That wasn’t the only problem.
When Kang-hu, who had fallen backwards through a quick dodge, looked forward to maintain a clear view.
“crazy.”
Hwaaaaaaa!
Three huge fire dragons erupted from the pillar of fire and were flying towards him.
Front and side.
It was an attack that would not tolerate evasion in any direction.
Here, Cha So-hee goes one step further.
The three fire dragons peaked in the air, each opening their mouths with all their might.
Grumble!
It spewed out a huge flame the size of his body towards Ganghu. It was fire breath.
“Damn it.”
The dawn sky, which was supposed to be colored black, was suddenly painted red.
It certainly didn’t look like the battle would be resolved easily.
