“Phew.”

The moment Cha So-hyeok died, Kang-hu’s first reaction was a big sigh.

Is it relief? Or is it relief?

It seemed like both.

On the one hand, I also thought it was a sigh of relief at the thought that he was such a worthy opponent that it made me feel like I had fought with my life on the line for the first time in a long time.

‘What a bumper crop of constellations.’

Things that were previously invisible due to concentration on battle become visible.

The constellations stolen by Cha So-hyeok, the black magician, and the assassin are all visible. And the items they are wearing.

There are too many to check one by one right now, and above all, Mad Solarkyum’s duration will soon end.

In other words, it is a situation where a runaway locomotive must be stopped and its heat must be cooled down.

I see Ayane walking towards me.

I had promised her the item the archer had. That was also the part where I had finished talking to her earlier.

The death of a Hunter in whom she has 100% stake will secure her a certain amount of loot. It’s only natural.

Kang-hoo retrieved the items from the three hunters he had killed and immediately called Ahn Young-ho.

– Yes, brother.

“Youngho. I think you need to do some cleaning up.”

– Yes? Did something suddenly come up? I knew you were out… … .

“I have one hunter with a personal grudge against me and three hunters from the Toushi Guild. They’re wearing shoulder pads.”

– No, what is this… … . Brother, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Are you okay? Where are you?

Kang-hoo calmly responded to Ahn Young-ho’s worried voice, which poured out like a machine gun.

“Oh, it’s okay since I killed them all. But I think you need to clean up a bit. I’ll send you the address right away.”

– Okay, bro. Since your uncle is here right now, I’ll tell you right away.

“Please do me a favor.”

Since this is also under the jurisdiction of the Ricou Guild, there shouldn’t be any problems with training.

Kang-hoo planned to dispose of all the items he had recovered from the three hunters, except for the ones that could be worn.

There is also the matter of disposing of the orange magic stone obtained from the undead dungeon I went to with Ahn Young-ho before… … .

It feels like they’re just giving me a bunch of work to do, but anyway, all the annoying parts are taken care of.

【You have met your daily quota of two kills.】

【If you perform a ritual to pray for the soul of the victim, you can obtain stats twice with a random probability.】

A constellation of vile priests who naturally show off their presence.

Kang-hoo couldn’t ignore the importance of stats, so he offered up a prayer of his own.

Of course, I didn’t really wish for paradise or anything like that. I just wished to suffer in hell when I go to the afterlife.

I had no intention of even the slightest intention of praying for the soul of the person who attempted my life to rest in peace.

By doing so, I was able to pray for their souls twice and gain 3 points for strength and agility respectively.

Since the stats don’t come out by digging the ground, it can be considered an advantage.

at that time.

Ayane, who had come all the way here from far away, looked at Kang-hoo with sparkling eyes and said.

“My eyes weren’t wrong. You’re amazing. You’re the assassin I want to be!”

Since he had said something like that when we first met, I figured it would be the same now.

Thanks to her, I was able to set the stage with ease.

Level, and being outnumbered, we really needed to reduce our numbers by one, and this helped a lot.

In fact, it was because Ayane was there that the board was set up so aggressively.

If she hadn’t been there, I would have changed my plan. Either luring only Cha So-hyeok, or, conversely, targeting only him.

“Thank you for your hard work. I owe you something. Well then… … .”

“……uh?”

Just then, Kang-hoo, who was continuing his speech, stumbled slightly.

A cold sweat was running down Kang-hoo’s forehead, which had seemed fine until just a moment ago.

* * *

That night.

Ayane, who was sitting in a hotel in downtown Osaka, was thinking about what happened that day.

I drank quite a bit of the wine that filled my glass, but for some reason I didn’t get drunk at all.

As I recalled the vivid memories, I didn’t even have time to get drunk. Today’s events were that interesting.

“I don’t care who the dead guys are. I just remember the movements, skills, and responses that Shin Kang-hoo showed, one by one, and they’re all… … cool. Cool.”

Ayane smiled as she looked out the wide open window at the night view of downtown Osaka.

Until now, I have rarely laughed while watching another hunter fight.

Because there were many fights between poor hunters who had many flaws from start to finish.

Some people said that she was picky about her gaze, but I thought that since she was that picky, there was nothing wrong with that.

In Ayane’s eyes, who was so picky about evaluating the hunter’s movements, Kang-hoo was perfection itself.

That’s why I keep getting possessed.

Admiration, respect, and curiosity for the strong. That was the driving force and source of my fighting spirit that made me who I am today.

“but…….”

There was just one thing that was bothering me.

Just as I was about to start cleaning up, Kang-hoo broke out in a cold sweat and soon sat down to rest.

He was sweating profusely and, more than anything, his face turned pale. He looked like he was in serious pain.

He sat down on the rock for a while, saying that he was fine, but he also let out a faint groan and pressed his forehead.

“It might be a time limit… … .”

That’s what I thought.

Suddenly, my heart felt cold.

Could it be that he is burning away his remaining life like that, gradually fading away lonely?

Considering Kang-hoo’s first impression and appearance, it wasn’t a strange picture at all. It seemed like he only lived for today.

What hunter in the world would ever consider going toe-to-toe with a hunter who is nearly three times their level?

The battle between Kang-hoo and Jeong-seon-rak was exactly like that. It was because I knew that his level was under 200.

Even if you estimate it as low, Jungseonrak was a level 550 or higher level qigong hunter.

“I might not see you again. I might die… … .”

Thinking about it that way, Kang-hoo’s appearance was filled with sadness, loneliness, and solitude. I even shed tears.

Ayane immediately picked up her smartphone. She wanted to leave a message, since today might be the last day.

* * *

Same time.

Kang-hoo burst into laughter when he saw the DM from Ayane through Huntergram.

“It’s a limited-time judgment. I didn’t know you could use your imagination like that.”

Ayane sent a very cautious message, asking if Kang-hoo was very sick and if there was no way to treat him anymore.

At some point, Ayane realized that she had become someone with a limited lifespan.

It was understandable to think so.

Because from the moment I first encountered her after the battle, I had to sit and rest due to the aftermath of Mad Solarium.

After doing some rough training, I sat on a rock and barely moved to catch my breath.

So I had a belated thought that maybe I should have taken a pill.

Although it lasts for an extremely short period of time, it is because you enter a state of awakening that far surpasses your limits.

But I thought I might regret it later, so I saved it, but I thought I would probably use it sooner or later.

For example, when dealing with Go Kyung-ho for the ‘Constellation Test’ of the Pure Black Seeker… … it seemed absolutely necessary.

Kang-hoo replied to Ayane. His tone was serious, but he also had a lot of playfulness in it.

That’s not entirely wrong.

Even if life is not limited, not everyone living in this world can guarantee safety for tomorrow.

“His skills were clear.”

A gunner with the ability to kill a hunter with a single blow from a considerable distance using a magic bullet.

Although their relationship was unexpected, Kang-hoo thought it would be okay for him to be close to her.

It is the superior version of Ban Se-young. If we consider it that way, Ayane’s value definitely goes up.

at that time.

I got a message from Youngho Ahn.

He said that he had completed the final appraisal of the items and magic stones that he had entrusted to sell, and that they had gone into sale.

There was also talk that there would be an official statement from the Ricou Guild.

Even though he was an outside guest, he entered the guild’s jurisdiction and openly targeted Kang-hoo, so it seems he thought he couldn’t just pass by.

I didn’t really care about that because it was a matter for the guilds to figure out.

first.

Kang-hoo looked at the items he had brought to wear in addition to the items he had entrusted to Young-ho Ahn for sale.

First, I took out the Mollis Maniche, a tier 5 glove item.

And he put on the gloves he got from the assassin.

The name is ‘Evil Destiny’. It is a 3rd class item.

This is a situation where Molly’s Maniche is no longer needed.

Since you can retrieve your weapon at any time by using Soul Imprint, it has lost its former utility.

【Bad Romance – Gloves】

【Rating: 3rd grade】

【Agility +100】

【Bloodwind – Additional weapons can be used, limited to daggers. However, the additional weapon must be of a lower grade than the primary weapon.】

The wind effect.

This is why when Kang-hoo saw the Akyeon gloves, he decided that he had to wear them no matter what.

The content is simple.

This means that you can only use dual daggers when wearing these gloves.

To be exact, when you pick up another dagger, you can also apply the stats of that dagger.

According to the existing system, daggers are only allowed to be worn in one location like other weapons.

When the wind of blood effect is present, up to two are allowed.

The dagger currently used as Kang-hoo’s main weapon, the Corrupted Faith, is a 2nd-grade weapon.

Then, the calculation is that I should just wear the bloodletter I had as a spare. Since it is a 3rd grade dagger.

“I guess I’ll have to practice dual dagger fighting from now on.”

I ended up handling two daggers, and it would be even funnier if I just held them and didn’t use them.

I was planning to train whenever I had time. Since I’m ambidextrous, I can use a dagger with my left hand, so I think I’ll adapt quickly.

Next, I took off the 5th-grade shoes I was wearing, ‘As the Wind Leads’. My agility dropped by 50.

However, since the agility stat of the newly put on 4th grade shoes, ‘Stella’, is 100, it ended up increasing by 50 more.

I checked my stats after a long time wearing the Blood Element. Thanks to the Blood Element, I’m sure the amount will increase considerably.

【Shin Kang-hoo Lv. 197】

【Class: Assassin】

【Unique talent: Fairly good stamina / Very good body vision】

【Strength 1063】【Agility 1168】

【Stamina 909】【Magic Power 21】

【Anti-Ma 560】【Matjip 710】

【* Dark Age 446】

“It’s true that by minimizing the investment of stats and items in magic power, you can gain a lot of stats in other areas.”

It shows strength and agility that are well over 1,000, and stamina stats that are not far from 1,000.

In order for a normal hunter to do this level of setup, they need to be at least level 350. And they need to have invested in items.

But since I didn’t invest in magic power, I put the extra money I had into other areas, and the increase was clear.

It is a spec that is incomparably superior to that of assassins of the same level.

This is because you usually end up investing in magic stats and items to solve chronic magic power problems, which leaves you without much room to spare.

In any case, increasing magical power had no meaning to Kang-hoo.

The pain caused by congenital mana hypersensitivity is a phenomenon that occurs due to explosive absorption of mana.

It’s a question of speed, not quantity.

As long as you have this trait, you will never need to invest in the Magic stat.

Rather, this is a situation where you have to grit your teeth and prevent your magic stat from going over 50.

Considering that every hunter is struggling to increase their magic power in some way… … .

It was quite an ironic trait.

Of course, that is also Shin Kang-hoo’s identity.

A characteristic that will never change, like a fingerprint.
