Episode 73: Limitless Mana Dungeon (3)
* * *
If Ganghu had a perfect understanding of what abilities he had, this would not have happened.
The moment Kang Hoo came out to the place that was both the entrance and the exit, Kang Dong-hyun smiled in remorse.
It is unfortunate that Ganghu, who entered, benefited alone, but in the end, it came into his own hands.
But everything I thought I had in my hands disappeared in a puff of smoke.
“…?”
Kang Dong-hyun stood up, embarrassed enough to spit out the cigar in his mouth without realizing it.
The first thing that caught his eye were the hunters whose spatial movement abilities were completely controlled.
Originally, when Ganghu showed up, he was going to immediately stick to him and use the trapping skill.
“Why isn’t the skill working?”
“Space movement denied!”
However, hunters with exceptional skills were unable to use their special skills.
And the few skills that flew by quickly were all blocked by Ganghu’s protective barrier and level 2 self-defense.
next.
“Thank you for your hard work day and night.”
After giving a middle finger greeting, Kanghu disappeared without a trace.
It was not stealth, leaping, or camouflage, but perfect spatial movement.
This is because the flow of mana that could only be felt from Ganghu has completely disappeared.
It was a perfect escape that could never have happened unless it disappeared within the area.
“haha. “Look at this guy?”
Kang Dong-hyun burst out laughing.
It was a truly unexpected trend.
It was previously confirmed by entering the dungeon that his ability to manipulate mana was great.
But would you have thought that even with that talent, you would be able to escape far away from the scene?
It was an unquestionable ability to teleport.
This is a skill that even Kang Dong-hyun does not have, and furthermore, it is a skill that is difficult even for people with considerable spatial mobility abilities.
“I really ended up like a dog chasing chickens.”
Kang Dong-hyun stroked his beard.
I got water from Kanghu not once, but twice. I saw an unexpected ability.
“It’s like this… I really can’t give up. “You’re making it so I can’t help but be squishy?”
The corners of his eyes fluttered.
On the other hand, I felt sick to my stomach because I felt like I was one-sidedly toyed with by Kang-hu and only told him to do good things.
Isn’t that right?
Kang Dong-hyeon, who was very talented, could not even hurt Kang-hu and gave him the dungeon with his eyes open.
All he did when he came to this place was to make a cold diagnosis, clean his mouth, and get his shit together.
“Leader! How do I do this?”
“I think he ran away?”
My subordinates were rushing to ask questions as to whether they could understand the situation yet.
Then Kang Dong-hyun waved his hands and gave a final command filled with frustration.
“Everyone disperse. “It’s new.”
* * *
“It was the perfect escape.”
Kang-hu, who took a seat in an empty lot with no one around, grinned and recalled what had just happened.
It was only for a moment, but I saw it clearly.
Kang Dong-hyun deployed a large number of talented subordinates and tried to catch him, thinking that this was the right time.
That’s what a water fight is like.
The side with the most cards has an absolute advantage.
Additionally, the less you can predict your opponent’s hand, the more likely you are to be caught off guard.
Kang Dong-hyun could not have predicted at all that he had a knack for moving through space.
Thanks to this, I was able to present a well-prepared dungeon as it was on the table.
I was no longer interested in the dungeon on the 7th floor of Club Hades underground, as it was now a dirty dungeon.
Going again doesn’t mean you can obtain a red stone or steal a new skill.
“I came out of Gimcheon Liberation Zone too quickly. “I should have done my shopping properly.”
I am constantly worried about the 16.6 billion won in my bank account. Having a lot of cash is not the answer these days.
This is because for hunters, money is an important value that can be replaced with stats or abilities.
Money itself does not add to stats, but it is possible to add stats by purchasing items with that money.
So, rather than continuing to save money, it was better to save an appropriate amount and buy items.
There were many items for Ganghu that he had not yet worn and many stats to raise.
“I don’t want to go back to Gimcheon. “The Hongcheon Liberation Zone, which has an overall calm atmosphere, wouldn’t be bad.”
A good alternative came to mind.
Liberated area in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do.
It is a place that is much larger and sells more diverse items than Gimcheon Liberation-gu.
Since North Korea is close, there was a lot of stolen goods coming in from the North through dark channels.
In addition, there were quite a few ‘technicians’ in Hongcheon Liberation Zone who performed special procedures on Hunter’s body.
When Kang-hoo arrived in front of the Pohang Intercity Bus Terminal, he was about to check the time of the safety bus bound for Hongcheon.
A phone call came in.
I wondered if it was Lee Ye-rin, but my prediction was exactly right.
“yes.”
– Is it okay to talk?
“It was okay, so I took it.”
As always, the conversation started with a grumbling voice.
Lee Ye-rin, probably because she was used to this way of speaking, smiled and continued speaking without paying attention.
– A designated request has arrived.
“contents is?”
– You can cooperate with the mercenary group that received the request and deal with the leader of their hostile mercenary group.
“It doesn’t look like fireworks.”
– It’s not a political concept. It’s a request that also has a code called “implementation of justice.”
“Isn’t justice itself relative in the first place? “In today’s world.”
Lee Ye-rin was unable to speak right away as the needle pierced so deeply into her heart.
That is correct.
The current era is one in which the truth is completely obscured and distorted according to images.
Isn’t that the case with the purification guild right now?
Although Lee Ye-rin is currently maintaining a friendly relationship with Jang Si-hwan for various reasons…
she also knew well that the Purification Guild had a lot of hand in the dirty work, as Lee Hyun-seok, the leader of the warlord Abyss, claimed.
However, people in the world think that the Purification Guild is the guardian of justice.
It is more trustworthy than the Hunter Police Services.
If Jang Si-hwan points out someone as a criminal, no matter what explanation he gives, he becomes a piece of trash that cannot be interacted with from that day forward.
– I made a mistake. To put it simply, it is a request for checks. The problem is that it’s a bit extreme, right?
“What is the target?”
– I can only tell you if you accept. There is also an obligation to maintain confidentiality.
“I accept.”
Kanghu decided to accept the request.
As long as it wasn’t a request to kill a believer who had lived immersed in religion for decades, there was nothing to be concerned about.
There is no hunter who won’t get dusty in the first place, and such a hunter becomes the target of removal requests.
There are very few requests to pay a lot of money to kill a hunter who has lived a sincere and hard-working life.
No, it is safe to say that it does not exist at all. Such requests are filtered out by the mercenary group itself.
– Jeon Jong-du. This is the target.
“Jeon Jong-du?”
– yes. He is the leader of Osho’s mercenary group.
The name Jeon Jong-du was unfamiliar, but the name Osho Mercenaries was not.
This is because in the original work, it is a Russian criminal organization and one of the mercenary groups that acts as a guild’s stooge.
Not only did they sell a large amount of domestic mercenary information to Russia, but they also kidnapped and ‘trafficked’ hunters.
In the process, the outflow of domestic talent grew to the point where it became a problem.
In fact, in the original work, it is an organization that Jang Si-hwan felt strongly about the problem and set out to eradicate it on a large scale.
Although that period was later than now, the foundation was laid early.
Jeon Jong-du is not the head.
It’s just a tail sticking out.
Considering that prospects and prospects who could compete with Jang Si-hwan disappeared due to the kidnapping by Osho’s mercenaries.
Even in the long term, Jeon Jong-du and his superiors were a vicious organization that would be much more beneficial if they disappeared.
Yerin Lee continued.
– Jeon Jongdu’s level is estimated to be at least 350. Detailed information will be sent via a separate secure email.
“What is the reward?”
– 10 billion heads. 30 billion won alive.
“It looks like he has a lot of information to dig up. “If you see that there is a lot of variation.”
– Insider information is bound to be expensive, right?
“But let me just point out one thing.”
– yes. Please speak.
“I appreciate the high evaluation, but is this really the right request for me? “The opponent is level 350?”
Kanghu burst into laughter.
Although he continued to grow rapidly, Kanghu was a hunter who had not yet exceeded level 100.
Of course, Yerin Lee also knew from the beginning that Ganghu’s level was below 100.
– Because it’s Seongyu, I’m making that suggestion. This is a proposal that I would not have even brought up if I thought it would be impossible.
“Let’s be honest. How much commission did you receive?”
– Fuha! It’s not like that. I personally do not receive any additional referral fees. Wouldn’t it be nice to officially increase the basic fee?
“Pure good intentions… this is it.”
– I would appreciate it if you could call it full support and trust. Ho Ho.
It wasn’t like I was particularly suspicious of Lee Ye-rin or anything like that.
In fact, the reason Kang-hu was attracted to this request was because it was not a stand-alone request.
In any case, if you have allies you can utilize, the chances of falling into sudden variables or danger are significantly lowered.
Kang-hu asked about the remaining puzzle pieces of information that had not yet been completed.
“Then which mercenary group will join forces?”
– This is Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group.
“Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group?”
at that time.
The unexpected name of a big name came out of Lee Ye-rin’s mouth.
* * *
“Are you here?”
“huh. I just received a call from Yerin Lee. He said he accepted it. “My name is Jeong Seon-gyu.”
“It must be an alias, right?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know that?”
“Why are there so many hunters who openly use their real names like you? So I was just curious.”
Not long after the phone call between Kang-hoo and Ye-rin Lee ended, Soo-kyung Kim received a call from Ye-rin Lee.
Kang-hoo promised to join their gathering place by the date Kim Soo-kyung wanted.
Kang-hu was not the only ‘guest’ sung by Kim Soo-kyung, but it was good news anyway.
Su-kyung Kim, who was based in the Yangyang area, was a well-known named hunter in this area.
In a good way, he was a person who took the lead in eradicating all kinds of criminal activities taking place in the local area.
Of course, it is true that there is a desire for ‘interest’ behind it, but the cause was clear anyway.
It was Jeon Jong-du’s Osho mercenary group that had recently begun to become a thorn in Kim Soo-kyung’s eyes.
It is clear that there are forces at the top that are aligned with North Korea or Russia, but we cannot know.
In any case, I was planning to attack the player first since conflict was being openly provoked within the region.
If such organizations start to turn a corner one by one within the area, it will become difficult to eradicate them later.
“I never thought I would be able to see in person the person who was the talk of the town who blew off Prince Gong’s left arm.”
He made an interesting expression.
The moonlight reflected white along the frame of the glasses lifted with the index finger, creating a sharp line.
This was someone I had longed to see for a long time.
Kim Soo-kyung was not the only protagonist of the ‘Gong Tae-soo incident’ of interest.
Any hunter with bright eyes and ears was curious.
