Team Play (1)
* * *
way back again.
Rather than returning to Seoul right away, Ganghu decided to go see Jung Yu-ri while the request was over quickly.
So, I headed the same way I came, backwards.
It’s because her activity radius has become almost predictable.
A quiet road with no one around.
As we walked along enjoying the silence, the dimension robber spoke to us.
【What do you think the constellation means?】
Constellation.
In the original work, the constellation was actually meant to enhance the power of the main character, Sihwan Jang.
It wasn’t that I didn’t have any detailed ideas about the constellation when I wrote it.
Among the means to become stronger are constellations, and those constellations are being swindled by Jang Si-hwan… … was about
In a way, it was also a poor part of the setup.
So, when the dimension usurper asked about the meaning of the constellation, the answer did not come easily.
“I didn’t think about it.”
answered honestly.
Of course, the dimension robber wasn’t trying to ask about the setting aspect of the novel.
However, seeing her luck at this point, it was clear that she wanted to have a deeper conversation with herself.
【As you know, if you pass the Constellation’s test, the destiny of the Constellation and its contractor will become one.】
“yes.”
【Why did you connect the fate of the Constellation to the elements that make up the contractor’s world?】
The question of the dimension usurper was not a question, but rather a hwadu to ask Kanghu to think about it.
“Is it simply that the world of hunters and the effects of the system don’t only work within human civilization?”
【The reason for making the Contractor and the Constellation a community of destiny is simple. Because it’s not just a war for contractors.]
“Then is it a Constellation War?”
【yes. The Constellation is not the manager of this world. Constellations are just one of the components.]
“Then who is above it?”
【That’s the part I can’t say. But this is for sure. I don’t want to disappear into an ordinary constellation.]
There was a lot of will in the neutral voice of the dimension usurper who spoke with strength.
The dimension robber added.
[Looking at you, I keep getting greedy. My heart is pounding. I’m getting more and more convinced that you can do anything!]
A dimension usurper that Ganghu considers very important and a powerful constellation.
Receiving such strong emotional recognition from a Constellation, Kang Hu’s heart was pounding too.
Feel the adrenaline rush.
I felt a sense of accomplishment and pleasure that was completely different from being praised by people, thrilling all over my body.
for a moment, but
Hunter’s gaze toward the world expanded and headed to the world of constellations and further expanded to a world beyond that.
where does it end?
Can’t we see the ending of this world just by subduing Jang Si-hwan and the thirteen stars?
Then, is the demon king also one of the components?
It was a question he couldn’t answer, so it lingered in his mind for a while.
【Soon, I will test you. I look forward to your challenge to make me happy.]
“Me too. Expectations are full.”
Kang Hu nodded.
Anyway, from the moment I became possessed in this world, I was on the same boat with the dimension usurper.
Other facts and futures may change, but the relationship with the dimension usurper will not change.
brief conversation.
The serious conversation with the dimension usurper gave Ganghu something to think about.
When I first possessed it, I thought that the goal was to live the life of Xin Kang-hu and prevent the ending of a collaborator.
What next?
Ironically, I was obsessed with the keyword of a collaborator ending, and I had never thought about it.
The dimension robber reminded me of a subject I had missed.
I thought it would be a long journey.
While on the way, Kang Hu decided where to go as soon as he finished meeting with Jeong Yu-ri.
Gwangju Songjeong Station.
There was a dungeon that received a 1-month lease from the Hunter Police Agency the other day at Exit 3 of Songjeong Station in Gwangju.
It’s time to hand over the license.
It was a must-visit place as it was possible to steal a total of 4 skills in line with the changes in the dungeon.
Even if other things could be postponed, adding a new skill could not be delayed even for a moment.
at that time.
“You’re already here.”
Kang Hu felt the flow of mana rapidly approaching and immediately recognized the existence of Jeong Yu-ri.
When she came into view, her constellation information was also displayed.
“Are you here very early?”
“I’m done with my business soon.”
Her voice came not from the front, but from far above, from the treetops.
It was far enough away that communication would have been difficult if I hadn’t strained my neck.
She definitely has unusual abilities.
When moving space in the air, it changes its position in the form of black smoke.
Such an ability is usually called a transformation ability, but of course it is not a common case.
In addition, being transformed into black smoke also means that you are immune to physical attacks in that state.
It is also a direct proof of Yuri Jeong’s potential.
In the first place, it was set up as such a person in the original work.
It is the same type as Lee Ye-rin or Ahn Young-ho.
“It just went well! There is a dungeon I really want to go into, but there is a limit on the number of people.”
“… … hmm?”
“I need someone! No matter how hard I try to get in, I can’t get in. It doesn’t even look like a corpse.”
The example words at the end are creepy, but it wasn’t surprising since corpses are common in Ground Zero.
“Are you okay? There’s nothing wrong with going in from my point of view, but I’m not the owner of the dungeon.”
“What, how are you? It is not mandatory to attack the inside, and if you try to look around together, you will see the end!”
Kang Hu also did not add anything else to Jung Yu-ri’s bright reaction.
From Kang Hu’s point of view, it was an unconditional thank you proposal.
This is because skill stealing is guaranteed as long as you defeat the middle boss or the main boss inside.
In other words, he is benefiting from the relationship he had with Jung Yu-ri.
Of course, as long as you know what kind of place the dungeon will be, you didn’t make a hasty decision beforehand.
I thought it went well.
At this point, it would be okay to take a close look at each of her abilities.
‘Is this your first team play?’
Looking back on my past memories, it seems like this is the first time I’m going through a dungeon with someone.
It’s been a while, but this time it’s a guest’s position.
Unlike normal dungeons, the entrance was in the gap between two large tree trunks.
The surroundings are all covered with trees, so the sunlight barely reaches them.
The color of the entrance itself was black, so it was an entrance that you would never notice if you just glanced at it.
You can recognize its existence only when you put your face close to it and see the flow of the swaying space.
So the dungeon date (?) started with a similar flow.
It wasn’t a large-scale dungeon, and overall it wasn’t a dungeon with an abundance of monsters.
If 1 was dry and 10 was overflowing, this dungeon was about 2.5.
So, I caught the monsters that appear sporadically from time to time in a way that allowed me to breathe comfortably.
The dungeon level is about 200.
It is difficult for Ganghu to attack alone now, but with Jung Yu-ri, there was no shortage of firepower.
2 in 1 pair.
In line with the concept when entering, Kang Hu focused his mind on all the work of matching hands and feet with Jung Yu-ri.
It was a meticulous analysis of her.
And I drew my own conclusions.
There is no need to worry about her growth.
The ability to use magic in transforming abilities.
In addition, the ability to use space to open another space in space.
Like Kang-hoo, Jeong Yu-ri has a lot of offensive repertoire.
She said there were ten dungeons that only she knew about, like this one.
At this level, growth would continue even if the dungeon raids were rotated in line with the reset.
Anyway, as I continued to attack, the level rose all the way to 46.
The monster level was high, so the experience was salty.
Even if the two of them shared it, the increase was large because the level of Ganghu was so ‘low’.
Thanks to Jung Yu-ri, he unexpectedly benefited a lot, so Kang-hu expressed his gratitude several times.
From noble mtl dot com
I wanted to make sure that I was grateful for the other person’s heart.
Because there is nothing natural about caring.
While repeating the move, the two naturally continued their conversation.
Kang Hu listened to her words.
The most important thing for her, who was feeling lonely more than anyone else, was her companion.
I believed in her personality, which was formed purely from birth. Jeong Yu-ri is a person who suits white drawing paper.
“It was. They believed that I was necessary for the attack, so I followed them. I was abandoned like that.”
“I can understand why you used it as a guide. Did you just throw it away without even thinking about getting it right because you were injured?”
“Come to think of it, Chae Kwan-hyung said that there is nothing good about having more hunters with this ability.”
“good. Let’s assume that you can give in a hundred times and leave. But taking off your clothes… … Why?”
“It would be a waste to just let him die, so he said he wanted to have some fun before that.”
“That’s why you jumped down the slope, and you got this transformation ability from the swamp you accidentally fell into.”
“huh… … that’s right.”
The story about Kwan-hyung Chae heard from Yu-ri Jeong was so dirty that Jo Gu-bin told him to go away.
I was able to hear her painful story in detail, which was omitted in the original work.
to sum up.
While working hard as a mercenary, Jeong Yu-ri was well used by Chae Kwan-hyung as a guide for the team.
When she was injured and her usefulness declined, instead of helping her heal by catching up with her.
He decided to leave it in the dungeon, and even tried to commit a crime in the middle of it.
Leaving a Hunter in a dungeon meant only one thing.
When the dungeon raid is over, it means to disappear without a trace in the dungeon with the reset.
same as murder
So, it was only natural that Jeong Yu-ri would want to take revenge on Kwan-hyeong Chae, as well as have bad feelings towards the Jeong-hwa guild.
All of the ‘team members’ who would have been with Chae Kwan-hyung must have been people from the Jeong-hwa guild.
Even though they noticed Chae Kwan-hyung, they couldn’t help but be accomplices in abandoning Jeong Yu-ri.
“I think I know why you came to Ground Zero. Rather than a world where no one can be trusted, I’ll be more at ease here where I can only take care of myself faithfully.”
“that’s right. That was my heart.”
“In a way, we seem to have the same grain of thought. Although the way we express and respond is different.”
Ganghu patted her on the shoulder.
Actually, I wanted to give you a deep hug so that I could comfort my wounded heart… … .
Such skinship did not suit Shin Kang-hu’s dry sensibility.
It’s such an awkward and cheesy reaction.
As the story gets more and more ripe, around the time we start to get to know each other more deeply.
Aww!
An explosion reminiscent of a sonic boom came from not far in front.
That moment.
Quadd Deuk!
Trees that were tightly blocking the view fell all at once in one direction, cutting their trunks in half.
A storm of swords sharp enough to cut the center of any tree regardless of its thickness!
A deadly skill that no doubt belonged to the middle boss was flying from the front.
Aww!
And the attack continued to fly at very short intervals of less than two seconds.
‘I know what kind of boss monster it is.’
There was a name that came to mind.
I don’t know if I’m lucky today, but it seemed like a good opportunity to add a useful skill.
It seems like things are going to work out.
