Episode 78: Crisis is an opportunity (3)
I thought an example would be needed.
Ganghu, who immediately hid himself behind a veil of skill, avoided the magic attack using his quick evasion skill.
Since he knew clearly from the beginning that he was aiming for the back of his head, he was able to avoid it without looking.
At the same time, he aimed accurately at the forehead of the wizard hunter who was trying to kill him in the hiding created by the veil.
Shaaa!
Thanks to the Jeongwangbido skill, Hyeolru, equipped with tremendous propulsion, flew towards the wizard hunter in an instant.
Because Ganghu threw blood while in hiding, the opponent’s recognition was even more delayed.
and.
Phew!
“Wow!”
Blood’s sharp blade was embedded so deeply into the hunter’s forehead that it could not be seen.
It was hit so hard that it made a sound like the skull was crushed together.
“Huh…”
“When on earth did the dagger fly?”
The rest of the group all stopped in place as if frozen.
It was because I felt that if I moved towards Ganghu even a little bit, I would end up in the situation of a colleague who passed away.
“All I had to do was pick up the crumbs and eat them. “Why are you interested in my cooking?”
“S-sorry!”
I was quick to give up, and my reputation was immediately thrown into the trash can.
The ‘Crocodile Birds’, who had learned a certain fear from the death of their colleague, immediately recognized their own fault.
While greatly reflecting on their mistaken thinking of wanting to become a crocodile for a very brief moment.
From now on, it was a matter of what choice Ganghu would make.
I can kill all the remaining guys, or I can spare them because I don’t want to waste my energy on unnecessary things.
But unfortunately, they were not tasty prey.
There was no one holding on to a proper constellation contract. In a word, it is a small piece of food.
Right then.
“…?”
Kang-hu flinched at the sudden tingling sensation.
The dungeon where the explosion occurred was right in front of us. Calculating the distance, we reached a point of about 300m.
So, even though it was not long before we entered, I sensed an unusual energy.
‘Why isn’t it a resolution flow?’
Ganghu felt a waveform that was much more dizzy than the mana energy he felt earlier in the dungeon.
Normally, once an explosion has occurred, the mana waveform should go into a stable flow.
Suddenly, I felt the tangled flow of mana and its complex waveform.
It seems that only Kang-hu felt this, as other hunters around him were running eagerly into the dungeon.
Far away on the other side, a number of hunters who appeared to belong to Kenax were also approaching.
Since the explosion had to be cleaned up, it was natural to rush to the scene.
That moment.
‘This is real.’
Ganghu immediately launched the second stage of self-defense without even measuring it. Because there was something to point out.
just as expected.
Seaaap! Kwaaaaang!
An omen appeared as if everything around it was being sucked in, and then a huge explosion occurred.
The explosion that occurred in the dungeon earlier was a kind of warning.
This explosion was real.
Coooooo!
“Ugh!”
It was breathtaking.
By a very narrow margin, the shield created by level 2 self-defense caught the shock wave.
The explosion was so powerful that injuries could not have been avoided if the protective barrier had simply been deployed.
The disaster did not end here.
Squaan!
A second explosion occurred.
Ganghu used the continuous use option of level 2 self-defense and protected his body once again.
It was fortunate that it was truly level 2 self-defense. If it had been level 1, I would have been helplessly defeated.
“….”
Cold sweat ran down my spine. It was a series of explosions that even Ganghu could not have expected.
It was a moment so close that I couldn’t help but think that level 2 self-defense was a divine move.
Hwiiii.
An empty wind blew in the silence.
Ganghu looked around.
All of the hunters caught up in the irregular explosion earlier were dead.
It was complete annihilation, with not a single shallow moan heard.
Kenax’s hunters who came close to the dungeon burst like balloons and died or their bodies were torn into several pieces.
In the first place, it was not a shock wave that the human body could withstand, but exploded like a bomb.
“What a fucking explosion.”
Ganghu smiled bitterly when he saw the dungeon entrance that had already been closed.
As the second explosion occurred, the dungeon passage, which was open in two directions, changed to one-way traffic again.
Considering the existing statistics that dungeon explosions only cause one explosion with a 99% chance.
It was a rare 1% chance. It was a rice cake that could not be eaten from the beginning.
All the hunters who were caught up in this like moths to fire were killed, and Kang-hu was the only one who survived.
【‘Apocalypse – Darkness’ was deeply impressed by your insight that defied death.】
“Hmm?”
Ganghu flinched at the unexpected message from the constellation that suddenly appeared.
The names of the constellations mentioned in the message were shining golden light.
This is a privilege that even dimension thieves cannot receive. What I mean is that he is much higher level than her.
The Great Crusade is the main body that coordinates all orders of the constellations.
The names of constellations ranked among the top 50 in the Great Crusade shine in golden light.
Ganghu estimated that the Dimension Stealers were ranked around 60th as of now.
However, a being much higher than that has appeared.
【He’s a pervert who only goes around watching death, but is this guy here?】 The
dimension stealer, who didn’t even flinch at the appearance of any constellation, reacted immediately.
If she is a constellation that reacts, there is no need to gauge its weight. Because it means it’s that great.
at that time.
A conversation channel that was not open unless it was a constellation that had sponsored it at least once was opened.
The entity that opened the channel was, of course, the apocalypse – darkness. Unexpected situations were continuing.
【It’s fascinating. Usually, when an explosion like this occurs, most people die. Is it safe to say everything?】
The voice was cold.
The chill was enough to slap even a dimension stealer.
“As you can see the results.”
Kanghu shrugged his shoulders.
【He’s an interesting guy. It’s truly been a long time. You are fully qualified to keep an eye on it.】
‘You even keep an eye on it?’
Ganghu was surprised.
Watching is an expression of the Constellation’s strong will to designate three hunters and keep an eye on them at all times.
In terms of online shopping, it is a kind of shopping cart concept, but it is more compulsory.
What do you mean?
This means that if the Constellation decides to ‘watch’ three hunters, it must make a contract with one of the three.
【Apocalypse – Darkness has ‘watched’ contractor Xin Kang-hu. There is only one contractor left to watch.】
【See you again, Contractor Shin Kang-hoo.】
‘Apocalypse – Darkness’ suddenly appeared, watched unilaterally, said what it had to say, and then disappeared.
There was also a gift.
【’Apocalypse – Darkness’ consumes a large amount of holy power to provide you with a huge amount of buffs.】
【Experience increase +100%】
It was a huge support that put to shame the previous support from other constellations.
【Crazy.】
The dimension stealer’s reaction was immediate and sharp.
Isn’t the ‘Wilderness Strategist’ already positioned as a potential competitor for the main constellation?
However, when a constellation much higher in rank than himself appeared there, he couldn’t help but feel excited.
“Heh. “The ransom price will rise.”
Kang Hu grinned.
They are just working hard in everything they do, but the price is skyrocketing without realizing it.
The relationship between the Dimension Stealer and Kang-hoo, which had been clear before, was now about to be reversed. No, it has already been reversed. The Dimension Stealer just doesn’t want to admit it.
* * *
Kang Hu left Hongcheon Liberation Zone that way.
This is because all events in the liberation zone have been halted due to the cleanup that occurred due to the dungeon explosion.
Besides, the death match was already fun and the market was temporarily closed so there was nothing more to see.
I already took everything I needed.
Not only did I establish a relationship with Emilia, but I also acquired a useful ring item.
In addition, he easily earned 30 billion won by using his memories of Park Sang-oh.
Thanks to our successful response to the dungeon explosion, we even received the attention of a fairly high-ranking constellation.
It was a solid road that only fits the saying that no matter what you do, everything will work out. I was wondering if this was okay.
After leaving Hongcheon Liberation District, Kang Hu headed straight to Seoul.
This was because I heard that Park Min-seong’s parents had already entered the country through Gimpo Airport.
I wondered how he got there so quickly from England, but he found out that he had come to Japan before me.
He probably went to Japan because he had something to figure out.
However, it was a slightly disappointing move considering the son’s original nationality was South Korea.
Meanwhile, a call was received from Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group.
I thought the schedule would be tighter if I stopped by Seoul and then moved on, but there was a change.
“Yes, this is Jeong Seon-gyu.”
– This is Kim Soo-kyung. I confirmed the information through Yerin Lee, but this is my first time talking on the phone.
“Are there any changes?”
If all goes according to plan, I should see it tomorrow.
If there is no change in the schedule, it is common to meet in person and start talking.
– The target stays in the dungeon longer than expected. I’ll have to postpone my schedule.
“okay. “Then what are the future plans?”
– Let’s do it in three days.
“All right. See you then.”
The short phone call ended like that.
The schedule, which seemed to be tight, naturally gave me some breathing room.
Since dealing with Jeon Jong-du was not an urgent issue anyway, there was no reason to rush.
“Would you rather go here and learn about the era of barbarism?”
It didn’t seem like the meeting with Park Min-seong’s parents would take a long time.
Kim Soo-kyung gave me three days to spare, so even if I complete my schedule in Seoul today, I still have two days left.
There are no special requests to complete, and there are no specific places to visit.
At this point, I thought it would be a good idea to quickly learn about the Age of Savagery using the skill book trick like last time.
Closer to home, you may be able to rent the Baltman Dungeon once again from the Onnuri Guild in Suwon Station.
Even if that wasn’t the case, there was a second and third plan, so it didn’t seem like there would be any problem.
Kang-hoo, who had just stopped by the rest area, opened his smartphone and checked the security email sent to Ye-rin Lee.
It was information about Park Min-seong’s parents, whom he would meet in the morning.
Who is it that makes him worthy of being called Britain’s Named Hunter?
There were so many people that could be guessed based on just the condition of name, so it was not easy for Kang Hu to guess.
And the moment I checked the email.
“Spitfire guild. “The master and assistant master here were Park Min-seong’s parents?”
Two hunters who were bigger than expected appeared side by side.
Spitfire, a British adventure guild. The owner of the guild was Park Min-seong’s adoptive parent.
From Ganghu’s perspective, it was a moment when he had an opportunity to open a route to England following Japan.
