Episode 62: Imbalance Point (2)
* * *
“Maybe it’s because of the experience buff, but it’s gone up a lot more than I thought.”
Ganghu looked surprised when he saw that his level had jumped dozens of levels.
Ganghu’s current level was 85.
At first, I expected between 70 and 75, but I ended up getting more experience than I expected.
Of course, since the level is low, the increase depending on experience may be high, but it was still an incredibly rapid growth.
The section of level 100 that seemed far away suddenly came within the field of view.
【The wilderness strategist feels special about your knowledge of the unusual growth route.】 【The
Apostle of Justice says that although this growth method is not standard, it is very happy.】
The constellations that have watched the growth show interest. It will be amazing. Because I know how to grow differently from others.
【There must be a good reason why you know this. It’s quite interesting.】
The Dimension Stealer also added.
Doesn’t Kang-hu have knowledge that can never be known through general methods?
In fact, she had felt special about Kang-hoo since she first signed a contract with him.
It was thought that there was a secret to birth that could not be explained in words.
Although she can see through many things, she did not notice Kang-hu’s possession.
“I’m going to visit a few more places.”
There are still four more imbalance points in my memory.
I vaguely know the locations of two of them, and I only know that the other two exist.
In the case of the latter, it is because I just had a plan in my head. This means that it remained unconscious.
The two places I remember were located in Jeju Island and Japan, respectively.
I was planning to deal with the imbalance points in Japan as a bundle when I went to meet Ahn Young-ho.
“It’s reassuring.”
Kanghu invested all of the bonus points he earned through explosive level-up into physical strength.
There was a certain sense of pleasure in clicking dozens of times in a row to raise a stat by clicking once each time.
“Whoa.”
Feeling like his mana had been sucked out, as if his soul had been drained from his body, Ganghu roughly sat down on a rock.
There was nothing around.
This is because, in the first place, it is a place with only dense trees and no monsters or anything that could be a source of mining.
So even when I expanded my field of vision into the distance, I couldn’t see a single hunter. It was as quiet as a rat.
“I guess I should go to Daejeon Station at least once. “I can’t just pass up Hades after hearing about it from Benny.”
I thought about my future plans.
It was a shame to pass up Club Hades since I knew there was a limitless mana dungeon.
Although it is a dungeon where you have to worry about exiting rather than entering, it was well worth the risk.
“I think it would be a good idea to go see Master K too.”
I thought of someone I had in mind several times before.
Master K.
He is the only hunter in Korea who knows how to grow solarium himself and has studied a lot about it.
He is an old man with white hair, and at the same time, he has the feel of a scholar. Is this some kind of wise man position?
There is no person with much enlightenment or power of his own.
In the original work, there was only a hint that it was the background of some huge power, but there was no more content than that.
It was clear why Kang Hu thought he needed to see Master Kei.
This is because of congenital mana hypersensitivity.
I thought that someone who has studied Solarchium would also know a solution to mana hypersensitivity.
Mad Solakium is difficult to obtain, and regular Solakium does not completely suppress pain.
Ultimately, a fundamental solution is needed, and I thought I might be able to find a clue from Master Kay.
‘Can we really solve this disease that was like Shin Kang-hoo’s identity? It was even written in the original that if you don’t have this, you’re not Shin Kang-hu.’
Kanghu smiled bitterly at the contents of the original that came to mind.
Readers also said that when they see Shin Kang-hu, they always think of him fighting hard with a pale face.
One wonders if congenital mana hypersensitivity, which is like a symbol, can be easily resolved.
Still, you have to try.
Even if you end up with the word impossible, it’s still right to try.
There is a 0% chance of giving up without trying.
Once you try it, the odds vary.
“Now I have to worry about leaving.”
All objectives in the Latheus Dungeon have been achieved.
Thanks to Ban Se-young, Jayo-Seok was also able to draw stably and well and was able to draw ‘honey’ well at the imbalance point.
What remains is the problem of how to beat the fierce wind gang that is sure to be encamped at the entrance.
“I need to measure something.”
The conclusion is always simple.
If it’s blocked, just unclog it, and if it’s in the way, just clear it out. If you want to kill me, just kill me.
* * *
On the way back.
Kanghu was able to find a trace of a mid-boss in an unexpected route.
At first glance, it looked like an ordinary travel path, but there was one unusual footprint.
“Derayla was here.”
Even without seeing the owner of the footprints in person, Ganghu knew the name right away.
Deleila.
It is an assassin-type humanoid monster that has a special skill called ‘Veil of Artifice’.
It’s a boss skill.
When the veil of skill is opened, it has the characteristic of being completely undetectable in any form.
It cannot be detected because it is always judged to be ‘higher’ than the ability to detect stealth.
This means that even if there is an absolute stealth detection ability check, it is ignored and not detected.
Dereila does not come from a specific dungeon, but is spread out here and there in an unspecified form.
So, the hunters who met Deraila were often labeled as truly unlucky.
Because I had a low probability of encountering someone who was difficult to deal with. This is because there is absolutely nothing to benefit from.
However, for Kang-hu, he could be the target of skill theft, so it was rather a blessing that came rolling in like a vine.
Of course, this blessing becomes a blessing only if Deleila is killed. On the contrary, if you do it, it becomes poison.
“I can’t stand this.”
I felt like I had to grab Deleila no matter what.
Of course it’s not easy.
However, Dereila in the Latheus Dungeon seemed to be less careful and left traces called footprints.
If he had been smart and intelligent, he would not have passed through the terrain where he left footprints in the first place.
Sigh.
Kang-hoo, who entered a state of stealth using lateral movement, began to secretly follow the footsteps.
The additional Muyoung cast to hide his presence was a bonus.
The steps of the invisible one chasing the invisible enemy have begun.
* * *
Two hours later.
A man and a woman sitting on a hill near the entrance to the Latheus Dungeon were talking to each other.
Their identities are Jeon Se-hyuk and Ban Se-young.
The two people had met before, and at the same time, they were cousins.
The two people, who had finished their business, were meeting at the previously agreed upon location.
“Seyoung. Just do that and if you need me, just come see me. “Don’t suffer alone.”
“Oppa, if you get help like that, you won’t be able to grow. “I don’t want to be a half-assed hunter.”
“Aren’t you half-hearted enough now?”
“Eight oppa! So what I’m saying is that I’m trying to break away from being a half-assed hunter!”
“ha ha ha. But, as I’ve recommended for a long time, it would be good to know how to use at least one sub weapon.”
“…I’m still thinking about it.”
“Even if I knew how to use a sub-weapon even a little, there would have been no reason to get help in the situation you mentioned earlier.”
“It’s been a while since I met a skilled hunter. Jeong Seon-gyu….”
“Jeong Seon-gyu.”
Jeon Se-hyuk laughed.
I had already figured out the situation by cross-checking the explanation I heard from Ban Se-young and the point where I met Kang-hoo.
The person my cousin Ban Se-young met was Kang-hoo. The name introduced as Jeong Seon-gyu may be one of the pseudonyms.
Since Jeon Se-hyuk has internal information about Eclipse, he only knows Kang-hoo’s real name.
I didn’t necessarily want to tell Ban Se-young Kang-hoo’s real name. There is a good reason for using a pseudonym.
“Did you say you met my brother too?”
“huh. “I met him on the way.”
We know each other by different names, but we are talking about the same person.
Jeon Se-hyuk kept nodding his head, remembering the performance Kang-hu showed.
The generous evaluation that Ban Se-young gave Kang-hoo was by no means exaggerated. It was just as it was.
Shin Kang-hoo.
Jeon Se-hyuk was also a hunter who became directly interested in me after a long time.
I wanted to know more, so I asked to see him again after I finished my business in the dungeon.
Right then.
“Kill! “It’s that bastard!”
“This is the guy who killed our comrades!”
“Cut it out!”
The hunters who had been guarding the dungeon entrance earlier began to move.
It was a bunch of ‘sword-blazing winds’.
It was an organization based in the Latheus Dungeon, and it was a fairly large organization to be called a gang.
“uh? “Is it Seongyu’s oppa?”
“I guess there’s something to see?”
They both recognized Ganghu at the same time.
I thought it went well.
There are at least 20 people in the group of savage winds, just by looking at what they can see. On the other hand, Kang-hu is alone.
The more numerically inferior a battle is, the more variables the hunter on the defensive is forced to create and a diverse repertoire.
It may be difficult from Kang-hoo’s perspective, but from the perspective of watching, there is something very interesting to see.
“Let’s get it straight. It was your colleagues who started the fight first. “I didn’t come first.”
“Fuck the fuck off and just leave!”
Kang-hu’s restrained conversation was in vain as the group of savage winds rushed at Kang-hu, each holding a weapon.
Kang-hoo’s response was immediate and quick, as if he had anticipated that the conversation would not work from the beginning.
Jeon Se-hyuk put a lot of energy into his eyes.
This is because it seemed like Ganghu would use a different skill the moment he blinked. I didn’t want to miss it.
“Huh?”
At that time, one of the hunters who was running towards Kanghu from the front line suddenly started running in a different direction.
“It has a mind-disrupting skill.”
Jeon Se-hyuk immediately grasped the essence.
The hunter who was hit by Ganghu’s shallow confusion skill lost his sense of direction.
Although he could not figure out the name of the skill, it was not difficult for Jeon Se-hyuk to figure out the mechanism of its expression.
“The assassin has a mind-disrupting skill?”
“It would be complicated if you tried to judge Jeong Seon-gyu based on class as a prerequisite. Look at it for what it is.”
As he said, Jeon Se-hyuk did not think of Kang-hoo as a certain type of occupation.
I thought the word ‘versatile’ suited him best, so there was no reason to be surprised when I saw any skill.
at that time.
“Haaa!”
The hunter, who had lost his direction, this time unexpectedly launched himself towards his colleague.
Looking at the sincere attitude toward the leap and the state of the weapon with a lot of power, it was clear that it was not an illusion but confidence.
“It’s a hallucination.”
It’s a hallucination symptom.
Perhaps the hallucinating hunter will see the current attack target as a strongman rather than a colleague.
So, I guess that’s why he’s throwing his body around like that with confidence.
And eventually.
Fuwaaaaak!
“Gagging! This bastard…”
A team kill occurred.
As soon as the battle started, the situation was going to shit.
“What is this….”
“Do you have hallucination skills?”
Anxiety began to appear on the faces of the overwhelming majority of the Sharp Wind group.
Although it was clear that there was an overwhelming numerical superiority, something seemed to be going wrong.
Kang-hu’s expression, which seemed so calm, even felt an extreme sense of heterogeneity.
