Chapter 174 Dark Spirit“Among the boss monsters, there is a guy who has something called Barding Barrier, and it seems to have similar functions to that.”
“Have you ever seen Bardlord?”
She, too, knew about Barding. She just had never seen her in person.
As Tae-Sung Yoon said, the power suit was an artifact that produced the barge as an idea.
“I have seen it. The items in the dungeon have many strange things.”
Rather, it could be said that the weapon with the skill was simple.
“Then come to the dungeon management office tomorrow. We’ll try the power suit as well, and we’ll discuss how to tackle a level 5 dungeon. Do you have a place to stay?”
“It’s not difficult to find a house.”
It wasn’t about looking for a place to live anyway, it was about finding a place to stay for a while.
If the team still has the old rooftop room, they could be indebted to it for a while.
After breaking up with Choi So-hee, who was leaving work, Yoon Tae-seong headed to the old rooftop room. He didn’t even have to take a bus or subway.
It is a place that remains clearly in his memory, and you can use the warp while temporarily transforming into a barge.
‘This should also be renamed.’
The cursed Specter’s robe was nicknamed ‘Specter, God of Death’. Now, it has developed gradually and has really turned into a barbarian. It’d be better to call it ‘The Reaper of Bardness’.
I went into the corner of a quiet alley and called out the barrage master. A barrage of armor was created in an instant as the black fortune wrapped around him, and Tae-seong Yoon immediately moved to the space.
The distortion of space seemed to be difficult to see now. Distorting the space, he was standing in front of the rooftop room for a moment.
The flatbed installed on the roof of the rooftop room was still there, and people were eating pork belly on the flatbed.
Then suddenly, a monster resembling a Specter appeared, so it would be natural to be startled and surprised no matter how awake.
The barrage was immediately removed.
“uh? brother!”
“Taeseong-ah!”
“Wow, what is it?”
Tae-sung Yoon contacted me that he could go to Korea, but no one knew that he would suddenly appear in front of me like a surprise.
Seven of them look like complete warriors from a fresh starter. You must have attacked the dungeon while suffering that much.
Even Lee Seok-hoon, who was the weakest, showed muscles in his forearms.
“How are you all?”
“Hey, I want to buy a few bottles of soju today.”
Kwon Hyuk-soo said with a chuckle.
“It was brought by you because you wanted to drink.”
At Uina’s half-act, Kwon Hyuk-soo just smiled, but after a while he frowned.
“Hey, Taesung and I don’t have much of an age difference. But why is he an older brother and I am an uncle?”
“Why? Because oppa is oppa and uncle is uncle!”
Yuina stared at Kwon Hyuk-soo with a look of absurdity.
The team members haven’t changed much, and even after meeting for a long time, there was no awkwardness like old friends.
“Why did you suddenly return home? You said you wouldn’t come to Korea until you get to rank 7?”
“Oh, when is my brother coming? I don’t think that’s what the kid who was whining like this was talking about.”
Baek Cheol-min was making fun of Yu-na next to him, and then gave in to one low-kick. I thought I could break my leg if I made fun of it more.
“I came in because there was no one to attack the level 5 dungeon. I have to work a little harder. How can you still be level 4?”
At Yoon Tae-sung’s words, Yuna pouted her lips.
“You worked hard! No other team rotates as hard as our team.”
The team that went back to the dungeon after taking a day or two rest after clearing the dungeon was the Rage Agency team. Thanks to this, we became the strongest team on average.
Also, the actual combat power is stronger.
Tae-seong Yoon’s training method was directly moving his magic, and he continued to train for battle.
“Yeah, you worked hard.”
Yoon Tae-sung lightly stroked Yu-na’s hair. It doesn’t mean much, but Yuina protested strongly.
“Hey, don’t do it! I am no longer a child!”
“Yes, you are no longer a child.”
Yoon Tae-sung occupied one of the bench seats and sat down, and the party had a lot to talk about.
It wasn’t important, but I was curious about how we lived with each other.
As we talked, hours passed quickly.
“Does Choi Kyu-yeon know that Oppa came in?”
“I don’t know yet, but I will soon find out. why? Is that child harassing you?”
“Well, that’s not it.”
You can’t bully me outright. He was the president of the Daon Group, but there is a strong bag called the Dungeon Management Bureau here.
“Every time I see you, I get into an argument by mentioning my brother’s name. Because he’s very unlucky.”
“Will there be any problems? Daon Group is investing too much in PMC.”
The reason why Choi Kyu-yeon invests so much in PMC is probably because of Yoon Tae-sung.
A guy like that will never forget his grudge.
‘It looks like a guy called the president of a large company is coming directly to the dungeon raid. Because he was also an Awakened man.’
The Hunter Manager app is public information. Numerous information such as hunters, dungeons, monsters, and items have been registered, and now the information is shared worldwide.
The Hunter’s grade is not unconditionally given that it is only a condition of magical power. Points are given depending on the dungeon to be attacked, and only when the target score is obtained, the next level license can be obtained.
Yoon Tae-sung’s case was quite special. The general manager didn’t even have a score because he issued a license arbitrarily.
If you follow the principle, you must first issue a bronze license, then acquire points by attacking the dungeon, and then receive the licenses for the next stage in turn.
A number of devices were put in place to encourage Awakened dungeon capture, and the ranking system was one of them. The Awoken want to compete with each other, so they rank according to their scores.
At first, it was set only for Korea, but now a ranking system has been introduced in many countries that use the Hunter Manager app.
You can see the Korean and world rankings.
Some Hunters risked their lives for this ranking. It’s like there are people who really risk their lives even when they play games.
Like Hyeon-pi, sometimes they get into an argument and fight with each other.
“Are you Sihyun Kim?”
The tall man asked with an angry face.
“Yeah, who else would it be Kim Si-hyun if it wasn’t me?”
The skinny man laughed at the other person.
“I saw the video you posted, and it’s fake. isn’t it? A hunter manipulating a dungeon capture video, aren’t you a fool? I don’t know if it’s an ordinary person, but it’s too obvious for a Hunter to see. You asshole!”
“Hey, you fucking bastard. How many times did I say it was just edited?”
The other party continued to argue with this issue through a message through the Hunter Manager app.
So, in the end, I decided to solve it face-to-face.
“Fuck! A bastard who ranks well… Why do you keep being black? Do you really want to lose Even if you die, no one knows, you bastard!”
Kim Si-hyun smirked at the words of the size. The smile was sinister, and he was completely ignoring him.
“The higher the ranking, the stronger the stronger. There’s even a diamond at the bottom of the rankings right now. ooh… Diamond license is worth 0 points. Even the Dungeon Management Bureau knows that there are many corruptions.”
“Fuck you bastard, that’s a complaint to the Dungeon Administration! Why are you commenting on my videos?”
Hunter’s attack video was one of the main sources of income. The famous hunter also advertised through the number of views of the video, and there were times when he made more money with the video than the dungeon raid.
In other words, the fact that this place is also saturated.
So I did some manipulation through editing.
Everyone else does it too. I shoot a lot of videos, and edit only the hottest ones.
But can this be called complete manipulation?
“Hey, it’s just that it’s true. If my ranking is far below, what kind of confidence comes from the confidence that I will be weaker than you? After all, he’s a bronze cub.”
Even in bronze, the 2nd and 3rd grades have twice the difference in magic power, isn’t it a bit unreasonable to view them as equivalent?
In the end, the other side even met and quarreled.
“Kukkuk, but the truth is, I’m not bronze.”
Sihyun Kim simply did not renew the license for personal reasons.
That’s the personal situation.
-Dark Spirit
If you were to learn black magic formally, you could say it was the most basic part.
There are several ways to use black magic that only the dead can learn. The representative method was a dark spirit or a token of black magic.
In other words, it was making a contract with some divine being who deals with death.
Darkness rose from the ground and wrapped around Kim Si-hyun, and Kim Si-hyun turned into a dark being, a dead but immortal being.
It was a monster commonly called a ghoul.
It was a ghoul who could use black magic, whose whole body had turned into darkness when darkness fell.
Kim Si-hyun was originally an awakener of mental attributes, and used a skill called ESP to improve the cognitive ability of the senses.
By chance, he acquired a skill book called ‘Basic of Black Magic’ and learned the Spirit of Darkness.
As a god of darkness, he grew stronger through black magic. The existence of darkness seems to be a separate existence from him.
Some dark beings have given him skills in turn.
Kim Si-hyeon is usually a rank 2, but if he uses a dark spirit… he transforms into a powerful black magician with rank 4 black magic.
“Fuck… what the fuck are you doing?”
“Kukkkuk, would you call me a reaper? When I see a guy like you, I get so full.”
What he learned through darkness after the Dark Spirit was a skill called ‘Dark Stem’.
It didn’t seem like much from the outside, but this was a really, really great skill.
The user becomes a tree and creates thorns with black magic. It attacks opponents, absorbs nutrients, and becomes stronger and stronger.
This thorn is more painful than I thought, and it is very tough.
It is also very difficult to dodge the attack.
If dozens of black thorns suddenly spring up from under your feet and wrap you around yourself, it’s hard to respond honestly.
If you live as a hunter, you will see strange skills. There are also skills that transform into monsters or werewolves.
Anyway, using a skill here, not a dungeon, means fighting to the death.
‘Damn the 2nd grade bastard…!’
The big man also used the skill.
Not one, but three fireballs were created.
“Hey, I know a bastard like you very well. That’s why I hate it more than worms. So stop… Die!”
Kim Si-hyun used his skill.
-Dark Stem
Five thorns suddenly rose from the ground beneath the tall man’s feet and wrapped around him.
The stems wrapped him around him and clamped him immovably, and the thorns dug in and tore his flesh, inflicting great pain.
He threw three fireballs.
By the targeting function, the two quickly draw a parabola. Different directions and different times. It was a very difficult attack to defend properly.
-Dark Web
Puff!
A sphere of his flames exploded in mid-air.
‘Shit! What are you going to do with a thorn like this!’
Even in this situation, he ignored Kim Si-hyun.
-Fire kick!
Flames erupted from his legs. I was going to use it to burn the stems that sprouted up from the ground.
When one of the thorns created by black magic burns, another one rises and wraps around him. Since it was created with magical power, it did not burn easily and did not disappear.
Along with the thorns, the stems dig deeper and deeper.
“huh! die!”
He used a fire kick and struck Kim Si-hyun with a powerful flame. A huge flame flew away, but a guy named Kim Si-hyun was faster than that.
He pierced a few daggers. There was that pain, but his skill gradually weakened.
As the magic defense weakened, the thorns inflicted more and more pain.
Kim Si-hyun just stared at him as if he was enjoying the other person’s pain.
“Do you think this will pass quietly? This is a very serious murder.”
“Hey, who knows? It wasn’t me who killed you, it was a monster using black magic.”
The pain got worse and worse and became intolerable. So the big man finally screamed. But the voice didn’t come out.
Kim Si-hyun’s expression radiated joy like a bright light.
‘Ahhh this is it!’
Absorbing the power of the other person gives great pleasure as if it were a drug.
My body trembled enough to ejaculate.
The subject has turned into a dried up tree. There is no blood, and the skin crumbles.
‘A little bastard pretending to be handsome… I hate a bastard like you so much. The next target is… that bastard!’
I don’t know what it has to do with the Dungeon Management Bureau, but a bastard with a diamond license with a score of 0.
He is the most hated kind of person in the world who wins and wins by clinging to power.
