Skill Upgrade (1)
at that time.
drooling. drooling.
The vibrating sound of the smartphone could be heard from inside the dead solver’s clothes.
Kang Hu first carefully cut off the tree knot that was tying Yun Sang-mi.
Since she was still unconscious, she was laid on a flat rock next to her.
It was a chilly day, so I didn’t forget to take off the coat I was wearing and cover it.
Then, I looked at the smartphone that I took out from the clothes of the fixer.
The sender’s name was stored as Shin Jun-ho. No matter who sees it, it is the name of the captain of the black bone team.
Just like Cha So-hee in the past, around this time, I get a call from upstairs. amazingly.
When Kang-hu answered the phone, the impatient Shin Jun-ho immediately asked.
– Did you do it?
“It hurt. The mercenaries you sent.”
– What… … ?
“The solver is dead.”
– Who are you.
“It’s done. If you have something to do later, come by yourself. I don’t know if I can find it.”
– Hey, this, this bird… … !
Kang-hu, who unilaterally fooled Shin Jun-ho, hung up the phone and slammed his smartphone down with his foot.
It’s because it’s annoying to hear the vibration of a phone that might ring again. Anyway, it’s over.
“Yoon Sang-mi.”
Kang-hu tried to shake Yoon Sang-mi slightly, just in case, but there was no movement yet.
The healing skill he possessed was thoroughly self-centered, so he could not use it for her.
For now, I had to hope that time would pass and she would wake up.
Of course, looking at her condition, it was clear that the fixer really put her to sleep, so I wasn’t worried.
Unintentional free time.
Ganghu recalled the battle with the solver and realized once again the trickyness of the black mage.
In fact, encountering warlocks in group battles is rare. Because they are placed in the last place.
However, after playing against each other one-on-one like this, it was a difficult job.
In addition, the attack and defense methods are different from general skills.
Since there are many skills to burn, melt, and distort, there was a possibility of instant death from a single mistake.
There are quite a few instant death skills that are hard to find in other occupational groups in the warlock occupational group.
The same goes for the Oxidation Skill, which was returned to the solver with the Sorcery.
If parts such as the heart and head were in the range of oxidation, it was possible to die while standing.
‘It’s even more terrible to think that I have to deal with Sihwan Jang later.’
Jang Si-hwan is the complete body as a black magician. Of course, the ability as a black magician is not all, but a part.
Because he was the one who received the main character’s buffs as hard as he could, just imagining the battle made his head hurt.
A life where you have to become a real protagonist who goes beyond the main character. I thought again that it would never be easy.
* * *
It was about 10 minutes after that when Yoon Sang-mi woke up.
From noble mtl dot com
As expected by Ganghu, there were no problems with his body or mind.
All he complained about was a little stiff because he was tied to a tree in a state of fainting.
“Brother, what happened? I don’t have any memories. It happened so suddenly… … .”
“No big deal. The situation you’re worried about didn’t happen.”
“Isn’t there a corpse lying in front of you that is too bad to be a big deal?”
Yoon Sang-mi frowned as she looked at the face of the solver who met her death with a smile on her face.
It was a bonus that he was ugly enough to wonder how a person could look like this.
Comparing it to Kanghu, I wonder if the squid’s legs, let alone the squid, felt worse than the dirt on the squid’s legs.
“I don’t know why, but I think they were targeting us.”
Covered up with appropriate lies.
Talking about being liberated or the Black Goldan for no reason won’t help anything.
Moreover, since the solver died, Shin Jun-ho could not get any information about himself.
He succeeded in finding himself, who did not even know his face, by chasing the traces of mana.
It’s because Shin Jun-ho doesn’t have that ability. Rather, there was a high possibility of changing the target to Min Soo-hyun.
It would be easy for her to find and track information, at least as long as her face was sold.
After Ganghu properly explained the process before and after, Sangmi Yoon didn’t ask further.
However, the fact that he was ambushed and passed out in a defenseless state seemed to hurt his pride.
That’s what it’s like to be taken aback.
If you don’t recognize it, you can also get hit by a hunter with a much lower level.
Moreover, the level of the solver was over 300, higher than Yoon Sang-mi. What happened was nothing to be ashamed of.
Of course, compared to Ganghu, who does not let down his guard even in normal times, there is a loose corner.
After hearing the story, Yoon Sang-mi blushed.
It was because he thought that he owed his life to Kang Hu because he was careless.
“Thank you, brother. I was too careless. I almost put my brother in danger.”
“A happy ending is the end. There is nothing to dwell on in the past. Rather, my pockets have become thicker.”
Ganghu showed the item he had stolen from the solver.
As a mage occupation group, it was an item composition that was biased towards the magic stat, so there was no particular need for Kang-hu.
However, as these items are valuable, it seemed that at least 30 billion won would be easy if they were disposed of in bulk later.
That’s what Hunter’s world is all about.
The higher the level of the world goes, the higher the concept of the amount of money disappears when a hunter dies.
At least it’s worth this much because it’s a solver, if a name like Jang Si-hwan dies, it’s a loss of trillions of won.
The rich and the poor also exist in Hunter’s world, and the polarization was rather severe than that of ordinary people.
“They said the police department sent a police officer right away. Just fix this and go straight in, oppa.”
“How is your condition?”
“Sleep well, it’s okay. The dungeon isn’t big anyway, so I go in and out quickly.”
Kang Hu nodded.
Taking level 100 was definite, so Kanghu’s thoughts had already gone after that.
Even when I was possessed in this world, level 100 felt like something from the very distant future.
The time that can be said to be the second turning point for Hunter was just around the corner.
* * *
The attack proceeded quickly.
The difficulty wasn’t too high, and the size of the dungeon itself was small, so there was nothing difficult about it.
Still, since it was a small team of two, the experience earned by sharing was quite good.
Thanks to this, I was able to complete the setting right before reaching level 100 ahead of the boss monster attack.
If I were to express it in numbers, it would be a level of about 99.9? If you catch the boss monster, it was in a state where it would be exactly 100.
The one-hour break time was created thanks to Yoon Sang-mi, who asked to take a breather.
Kang-hu and her sat down on the cold dirt ground and shared the sandwiches they had brought.
It couldn’t cool down, and the sandwich became hard like a stone, but the taste of eating it after the battle was honey.
“Seungyu’s older brother.”
“huh.”
“The attack time was much shorter than I expected. Oppa, you must have a lot of bleeding maintenance skills, don’t you?”
“Rather than having a lot of bleeding skills, it has a good skill set to maintain bleeding.”
“There were quite a few monsters with excellent regeneration and resilience, but they attacked and passed that section too easily.”
“It’s the advantage of bleeding.”
“I think I have everything except for my brother. Honestly, isn’t it a scam if you even bleed? Chet.”
Yoon Sang-mi pouted her lips and made a playful bolmen sound.
Bleeding was not caused simply by cutting with a sword. It was an offensive option.
In other words, an attack without bleeding enables rapid hemostasis and recovery even if the opponent bleeds.
But if there is bleeding.
Skill efficiency related to hemostasis, recovery, and regeneration deteriorated to the point where it could be said to be extreme.
100 health is restored to 50, 40, or less. Even if you use the same skill.
If you go through a level 400 or higher dungeon.
In simple terms, monsters with high regenerative powers often appear, enough to be described as ‘goeral’.
Because it recovers its physical strength and regenerates wounds from time to time, it was necessary to interrupt it.
So, it was very difficult to find a ‘bleeding dealer’ as you went into the world of higher hunters.
This is because the Bleeding option can only be obtained from certain skills or certain items.
Because of its rarity, there are bound to be many places to find it.
However, Ganghu is still able to keep the bleeding close to the constant level even though the level is not high.
Yoon Sang-mi couldn’t help but be embarrassed. The bleeding never stopped during the attack.
Ganghu replied.
“I think it’s a part that adds a lot to my value. I know you are precious.”
“So. I don’t know if my brother won’t play with me later. There must be too many places to call?”
“If you find a good dungeon, I’ll play with you. Isn’t this a good enough promise?”
“Hmph, sounds like a slave to capitalism.”
“Keugh.”
Yoon Sang-mi stabbed Kang-hu in the side with all his might.
Kang Hoo, who looks cold-blooded and won’t shed a tear even when stabbed with a knife, seems to have a weak side.
Yoon Sang-mi, who was having fun, poked Kang-hu in the side several times, and in the end, Kang-hu couldn’t stand it and laughed.
Although it is very trivial, the positive emotions and expressions that can be felt even from time to time were precious to Kanghu.
So it may be that you are wary of completely disappearing worn-out emotions.
I don’t know when I’m alone.
Whenever I was interacting with someone like this, it felt like my dull and damp emotions were being stimulated.
Kang Hu considered it to be a precious spark that allowed him to exist as a ‘human’.
If that feeling goes away, it won’t be much different from the solver who died earlier.
A human being, but not a human being. That’s why it’s such an existence that has no choice but to be lonely forever.

With the boss monster attack, the long-awaited goal has finally been achieved.
Level 100!
It was the moment when the level display, which had always been in double digits since the possession, finally added one more digit.
【Clone Magic】

alter ego.
Unlike Illusion, it was a skill that summoned another body with attack capabilities.
Thanks to the maximum proficiency effect, the firepower increased from 25% to 33%, and the holding time also increased from 5 seconds to 10 seconds.
This is the moment when you feel the power of the perks provided by the dimension usurper.
If you are a high-level assassin, it is a basic skill known for skillful and flamboyant use.
An assassin’s signature skill that can create variables that can never be ignored even when you know it’s fake.
It was the beginning of a change that would change the direction of the battle he pursued as an assassin in the future.
