Hidden Skill (2)
* * *
Kang Hu met Jin Hyo-young at the promised point.
Her map, which had been filled with sheets of paper as densely as Ganghu’s, seemed to have great strategic value.
Jin Hyo-yeong, who received the map from Kang-hu, smiled and said, as if she had the same thought.
“You are very meticulous. Actually, you don’t have to go this far, but the purification guild will like it.”
“Isn’t this an opportunity that is hard to come by? If given a chance, work hard. Maybe you can find it later?”
“Has anything happened?”
“It was quiet. Although I do get a bit of a surprise sometimes when smoke rises from the surface.”
“Now it’s our turn to go the same way we went. Cross-validation is the most annoying, isn’t it?”
“Because information is not free.”
“If it’s okay… … Would you like to take a break and have a drink? It’s the chamomile tea I brought before coming in.”
What Jin Hyo-yeong took out from the backpack she was carrying was chamomile tea in a thermos and a paper cup.
Kanghu also brought a bottled water in his backpack to drink, but a cup of hot tea seemed fine.
Of course, her courtesy – though very trivial – is suspicious, but a cup of tea is no problem.
And for suspected poisoning, there is a breath of reversal, so you can put down a handful of worries.
“I will drink well. Please sit here. I’ll clean the stomach roughly.”
Kang Hu pointed to a flat rock that just happened to lie between her and him.
There was some dust, but Kang Hu carelessly wiped it off with his sleeve.
It was meant to be worn as active clothes in a dungeon anyway, so it didn’t matter if it got dirty.
“You have good manners.”
“It’s just for tea. If I hadn’t had a chance to drink tea, I wouldn’t have brushed it.”
“Ho Ho. You have a wit.”
Is this witty?
Kang Hu only thought that Jin Hyo-young showed more affection or reaction to him than he needed.
Even now, after pouring a cup of tea, fanning your hands, casually rolling up your sleeves.
She tied her hair in a ponytail so that her neckline was exposed, and held a rubber band in her mouth.
It was a bonus to have a strong scent that was subtly conveyed along the exposed neckline.
It could be overindulgence or overreaction.
It may be that we give meaning to seemingly insignificant actions.
However, Kang Hu was concerned that Jin Hyo-young had lied to him from the first meeting.
If we were going to talk after seeing each other anyway, would there be a need to lie?
It wasn’t someone he would work with, and the lies related to his level were definitely questionable.
‘There’s nothing wrong with me keeping my distance. Jin Hyo-young isn’t the person I need anyway.’
I thought simple.
I thought there was no need to wonder what Jin Hyo-yeong was up to.
If she has anything to do with herself, she will try to keep in touch. Did you narrow the distance?
But if it was too much of a worry, everything would happen and the relationship with her would end.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see what she does next. You can also adjust your thoughts and judgments there.
while drinking a cup of tea.
Kang Hu and Jin Hyo-young were watching the war at the far end of the horizon.
Despite the distance, the giants were clearly visible.
Every time they moved, it was an illusion, but it felt like the ground was shaking all the way to this side.
Jin Hyo-young stared at Kang-hu from the side, who was watching the battle without saying anything.
Ganghu also felt that gaze, but he ignored it.
I saw her licking her lips several times, so I didn’t pay attention.
At that time, Hyoyoung Jin got lucky.
“excuse me.”
“yes.”
“If this search is over, would you like to go out for a drink? I like alcohol with rice, and I like light cocktails.”
“Cocktails would be fine.”

“There is a regular bar in Seoul that I often go to. I am also friendly with the owner. how is it?”
“I see.”
Kang Hu nodded.
Since the continued ‘temptation’ didn’t work, it seemed that he changed his method to go straight ahead.
I didn’t think it mattered who showed interest first between a man and a woman. That era has passed.
However, I have never shown any particular favor or liking for Jin Hyo-young.
The reason why she actively came out seemed to be different. It was instinct, intuition, and conviction.
So, I thought of putting it in order. If it was a really pure crush, you could just have a drink and enjoy it.
or not… … .
‘I’m looking for the guy hiding behind it.’

For cross-validation against each other.
Kang-hoo and Jin Hyo-young parted ways as they went their separate ways.
Now, it was time to meticulously check whether the information the other person had compiled was consistent with reality.
Right then.
A red flare symbolizing a rescue signal soared high into the sky.
There is no separate rescue team in the dungeon, but it is a promised signal in case of a dangerous situation.
Of course, it was not compulsory, so there was nothing wrong with not seeing the signal and not going to rescue it.
“hmm.”
Ganghu’s footsteps changed in the direction of the flare.
The only time to explode a flare from this direction is when you encounter a monster that is difficult to deal with.
It won’t be a giant.
If he had, he would have been able to see the river, and if he was a normal hunter, he would have avoided it earlier.
‘A black guide?’
Other possibilities were foreseen.
The Black Indian.
It is a collection of ghosts, and it is also a monster that Ganghu encountered when he went to Ground Zero in the past.
At that time, Kang Hu did not have the strength or ability to kill the Black Guide.
Power is second.
In order to kill the Black Guide, a power that is incompatible with him or a power that is completely synchronized is required.
In other words, you had to be able to use the divine power or use the same dark period.
Now, of course, the Dark Age stats, as well as the skills to utilize them, exist.
Ganghu immediately headed to the scene.
There was a way to deal with it, but the monster called the Black Guide was too big a temptation to ignore.
In particular, it is a random probability, but it also provides dark age stats permanently.
As the growth of the 7th stat, Dark Age, has become important, it is necessary to catch him steadily.
In particular, it was impossible to invest bonus points during the dark period, so it was right to raise it somehow if there was a chance.
Now was that opportunity.

“Let’s get out of here! If you get entangled with the black guide for no reason, it will be suicide without even knowing about it.”
“If you’re going to die, you’ll die alone. Why did you explode the flare? It almost got us involved.”
“I know. Let’s run away!”
When Ganghu arrived at the scene, the hunters were all running hard in the opposite direction.
He glanced at Ganghu, but he didn’t say much, as if he was in a hurry to run away.
Perhaps they think that what they exchanged with each other was sufficient information.
first.
The location of the black guide could be confirmed right away. It was at the bottom of the cliff where the sunlight did not reach.
The hunter who seemed to have fired the flare was already dead.
Judging from the condition of the corpse’s condition, it seemed that it had been attacked by the black guide’s servants.
Because the Black Guide never travels alone. There is always a monster to match hands and feet in the underground.
“… … .”
Waited a while.
As much as I didn’t want to do anything good for others after coming this far, I was thinking of letting the people around me escape.
how much time has passed
After the two hunters who were watching from afar, all the hunters who were interested in this side disappeared.
Everyone seemed to give up and back down as there was ‘no way’ to deal with the black guide.
trudge.
I made a deliberate noise and walked in the direction of the black guide.
The guy must have noticed that too, and he turned his head away from the darkness created by the cliff.
The Black Guide, made from countless specters united, had no set appearance.
The Black Guide I met at Ground Zero in the past was in the shape of a typical devil.
This time, he had the appearance of an old man full of wrinkles, and that of an old woman.
Is it a strategy to weaken the opponent’s heart? Or is that the only thing I know how to imitate?
Anyway, the black guide approached with a trick that had no effect on Ganghu at all.
‘Anyway, that guy can’t be attacked with other skills. If I can’t finish it in one shot, I’ll fall in without any regrets.’
The calculation has already been done.
Divine power, dark age.
As much as it can be removed in only two cases.
I was thinking of attacking using the Black Moon Cham, and if I couldn’t stop breathing here, I would fall right away.
The Darkness, which had been consumed for the skill demonstration earlier, was 100% recovered thanks to the Seeker of Pure Darkness.
I sat down and waited.
【Black Moon Slash】
At the same time, charging started.
It doesn’t matter what kind of movement you prepare your skill for, but this time we stick to the basic movement.
With the blade of the dagger slightly hidden by his side, he was condensing the darkness.
Kihii… … .
The black guide made an unpleasant sound and closed the distance with Kang-hu.
If you were surrounded by him, even if you said it was strong, there was no answer. That is, they had to attack before being wrapped.
However, if the timing was quick, he might notice and avoid it, so I waited patiently.
Deed.
It was very subtle, but I could feel the movement even underground. He must be a servant of the Black Guide.
I don’t know what kind of monster it is, but it must be one that moves freely while digging underground.
“… … .”
hold your breath
waited and waited again
The Dark Moon Charm, which had invested 100 Dark Ages, was already complete. A situation where you just have to let go.
Kiki Kiki.
The black guide saw that Ganghu did not evade, and let out a more grotesque laugh.
I was sure
This person is so scared that he can’t even dare to run away.
It’s because the human who died before met the end like that.
Even though he managed to get away, he died standing on his legs trembling.
if.
If the Black Guide was to die from an attack using the Black Moon Strike, Kang Hu would definitely go to Ground Zero afterwards.
The black guide is difficult to catch, and the reward is pretty good.
The explosively soaring experience is a matter of course.
In terms of magic stones and items, he was able to obtain unexpectedly high income.
After Jang Si-hwan was able to handle the Dark Ages, he picked only monsters from this series and raised his level significantly.
Here is a 20% share of the process that made Jang Si-hwan reach the unprecedented high level of level 800.
oh oh oh!
The body of the black guide, who was less than five steps away from Ganghu, became huge.
Like a crouching eagle greedily spreading its black wings and attacking its prey with all its might.
The Black Guide also inflated his body to the maximum in order to swallow Ganghu whole.
Devil’s Embrace.
The moment you are embraced by him, all memories and time stop. It is to be trapped in eternal darkness, death.
Hwaaak!
Eventually, when the disgusting breath of the Black Guide, which began to wrap around Ganghu, touched Kanghu’s face!
Ksiing!
in deep darkness.
The dark red half moon sword drew a clear arc, and in an instant attacked the center of the black guide’s body.
next moment.
Whoops!
The body of the Black Guider, who had been completely shattered, shattered into pieces without being able to scream once.
Pssss!
Numerous ghosts that lost their owners and poured out aimlessly in all directions were a bonus.
An existence that most hunters will never be able to kill because they can’t be reached or even touched.
So, the existence of the rice cake of the picture that I have no choice but to give up while always licking my lips.
Such an existence became a good source of experience points for Ganghu.
Ganghu was clearly experiencing the benefits of hidden skills.
【Acquires additional experience points because it is a monster that has not been attacked for an excessively long time.】
[The level has risen significantly, and has reached 103.]
Level up two steps!
Performance was solid.
