【Second. In the case of monsters that provide Dark Age, a small number display is activated above their heads separately.】
‘This is a picture that makes it possible to do pincet farming by targeting only monsters with a dark age.’
Target-catching hunting is possible.
Since you can determine in advance whether there will be a reward called Dark Age or not, you can further empower your growth.
Of course, monsters with dark powers only appear in dangerous areas like Ground Zero or North Korea.
So, it is true that the hunting difficulty is high regardless of whether you know whether you have Dark Age or not.
But it was a very useful perk just to make sure it wasn’t wasted effort.
【Third. You can entrust one of your skills to the Dark Sanctuary and ‘borrow’ one Dark Age skill.】
“This is… … the key.”
Kang-hoo’s eyes sparkled.
Entrusting one skill would mean a conditional seal.
Although there is an expression of borrowing, it ultimately means that I can use it as my own skill during the borrowing period.
You can give them unused skills and receive skills that you can use often. And those should be dark age skills.
Kang-hoo first entrusted his most useless skills to the Dark Sanctuary.
【Monster】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【This is a skill that makes even the most delicious food delicious.】
This is a skill obtained from the goblin middle boss in the Golden Goblin’s Mine dungeon.
A skill that I have never used before, and no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I will ever use it again.
I left it to you without any hesitation. It’s a skill that won’t cause any damage even if it disappears.
Then, a list of skills from the Dark Sanctuary that could be rented was printed.
The word ‘dark sanctuary’ was not unfamiliar.
This is because there is already a guardian deity of the Dark Sanctuary among the constellations. It is the constellation that was previously killed and robbed by the troubleshooter.
It seems that he got his skills from there, but it seemed that the Great Calamity – the power of darkness – was also involved.
A long period of deliberation followed.
The fact that it is a skill that utilizes the Dark Age means that it is a skill that is destructive and highly valuable.
You shouldn’t have chosen impulsively.
Especially considering the current limited use of Dark Age skills, it requires even more consideration.
How much time has passed?
As the water in the bathtub began to feel slightly chilly, Kang-hoo finished his thinking and chose a skill.
【(Gray) Thorn Hell】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【Use the Dark Age to create a dark belt on the ground.
It causes sharp dark thorns to rise from the ground along the belt.
Without precise control and regulation, thorns can sprout or collapse in the wrong places.】
Looking at the parentheses in the skill name, it seems that it is usually written as the abbreviation ‘Thorn Hell’.
Information on how to manifest Thorn Hell was injected simultaneously with skill learning.
However, the precise control and regulation mentioned in the skill tooltip seemed to be an area of training. It wouldn’t be easy.
“I’ll borrow this.”
Kang-hoo made his decision.
It’s the best in exchange for the strange skill of making spoiled food that shouldn’t be eaten taste good.
In addition, it seemed that there were many areas where it could be used to create variables in battle.
If you look at the lineage, it is a skill that is related to the black magician or sorcerer, so it is difficult to think of it as a skill for an assassin.
The thorny hell became Kang-hoo’s skill.
There’s definitely more work to do.
I also need to work on increasing my Thorn Hell proficiency, and I need to work hard on my dual dagger training.
In addition, there is still the imbalance point, so I have to go to Sapporo as well.
I had also just received a call from Fumiya.
It means that everything is ready. Kang-hoo said that all he has to do is go and come back.
However, looking at the dungeon details, it seems like solo clearing is impossible. So I decided to just fill up my experience points and come back.
* * *
Since that day.
Kang-hoo, who was absorbed in training, invested all his time, except for sleeping, in training in the twin dagger technique and the Thorn Hell.
In the meantime, I also went to the Imbalance Point in the Shade Dungeon in Sapporo.
The level has increased significantly to 225.
For other hunters, the journey to level up would take at least two months, but for Kang-hoo, it only took a day.
It was a rapid growth that he alone benefited from. Perhaps, forever… …no one will know. If only he kept his mouth shut.
* * *
【Hide】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【This is a skill that allows you to immediately hide your appearance.
It consumes 0.1 mana per second, and cannot hide its presence or sound. A separate evasion is required.】
“As expected, the maximum effect of proficiency is always a scam.”
Kang-hoo looked satisfied as he watched the hiding skill.
If your skill proficiency is not at its maximum, the mana consumed per second is 1. This is 10 times the current level.
So it was impossible for the assassin hunters to remain hidden for nearly infinite time.
In other words, this is why you had to care about your magic stat.
Because a large amount of magical power is essential to use the stealth skill, which is like a lifeline, for a long period of time.
However, Gang-hoo has reduced the amount of mana consumed by the maximum proficiency, and has also reduced the amount of mana consumed by the Age of Savage skills by half.
Thanks to the mana hypersensitivity, the recovery power was also overwhelmingly high.
It was natural that the burden would be reduced considerably since it had become a strong enough body to withstand such magical power consumption.
Now you can hide anywhere, anytime, without having to move horizontally to gain stealth.
‘I’ve seen all the fun of seeing the imbalance point… … .’
There are still two locations that are unknown, but I only know the symbolic markers, not the locations.
Maybe later on, if I get lucky, it might be possible, but for now, it seems like it’s like finding a needle in a haystack.
one side.
I also had fun with the constellation Master of Yabawi, which became active when I passed level 200.
A constellation that comes as a gift every time you level up by 100.
The one I got this time was a ‘random skill book’. It’s a skill book that gives you a random skill the moment you break the seal.
Since learning is done through tricks anyway, learning is not a problem at all. It’s just a matter of putting in a little more effort.
However, the random skill books you obtain have a separate method of unsealing them, unlike regular skill books.
The sacrifice required to release the seal is the ‘Heart of the Queen of the Horde’.
This means that we must visit North Korea.
Random skill books always have the potential to be a huge hit, so it’s hard to ignore them thinking they won’t do anything great.
There are many skills that could have come out at the highest level, even those that don’t match Kang-hoo’s level at all.
Anyway, in order to get Mad Solar Ki-um, you have to go towards North Korea when you return to the country.
The issue of going to North Korea has arisen.
It was quite risky, but the reward was certain, so I had no intention of delaying it. I had to go.
‘I’ve been investing in the agility stat since level 201, so I think I’ve got the second direction figured out well.’
As I passed level 200, I also focused my investment on bonus stats towards agility.
Now that I had enough stamina and no longer had any synergy with the items I had, I didn’t need to invest any more.
【Soulmate – Gloves】
【Rating: 5th grade】
【A one-handed glove item that increases your stamina value by the level.】
【You can increase your stamina up to 200】
Gloves that you will need to unequip once you obtain the higher level gloves.
Still, it is a very useful glove that steadily provides 1 additional stamina up to level 200.
Since it doesn’t work from 201, Kang-hoo has foolishly changed the direction of his stat investment to agility.
“Now that I’ve completed the dungeon raid promised to the Ricou Guild, I’ll be free to do whatever I want for the time being.”
The remaining schedule has been simplified.
Officially, this is the end of my dungeon adventures with the Ricou Guild.
After that, you may meet Takashina Ayane, or you may return to the country for a while.
I am still in contact with both of them.
I decided to have a glass of whiskey with Ayane in the evening.
I know that there is an implicit meaning to the idea of adults drinking together.
But I thought it didn’t matter anyway.
Because you have to take responsibility for both the choice and the responsibility yourself. Just don’t be irresponsible. Just don’t be selfish.

“This is the report on Cha So-hyeok’s death. I have personally verified it, and there is no missing information.”
“I see.”
“……yes?”
“I’m saying that it’s confirmed. He’s already dead, so there’s nothing more I need to know, right?”
“older brother.”
“why?”
“Don’t you feel sorry?”
“When Sohyuk was playing outside my hands, I had already abandoned him. I knew this would happen.”
“… … .”
At that time, Kim In-ho was meeting Kang Tae-yang.
Kang Tae-yang, the leader of the criminal organization ‘Taeyang’. Kim In-ho is his right-hand man and also Cha So-hyeok’s close older brother.
Of course, since Kim In-ho’s loyalty was only to Kang Tae-yang, his heart was also inclined towards him.
No matter what, the priority is obviously the leader, Kang Tae-yang.
But still, it was the death of Cha So-hyeok, who had a high ranking in the sun… … .
Kim In-ho felt annoyed at the sight of Kang Tae-yang not showing even a hint of regret for even a moment.
“That’s why I broke up with Dong-hyun. A younger brother who doesn’t listen to his older brother. Is there any meaning to a younger brother like that?”
“I was short-sighted. Sorry, brother.”
“Just because a prodigal son died, you’ve summoned up my past. Anyway, don’t worry about it.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Announcement. This incident was Cha So-hyeok’s unilateral action, and I express my deepest apologies to both guilds. I promise to prevent it from happening again.”
“I will do that.”
Kim In-ho also has regrets, but he doesn’t hold onto them more than necessary.
After all, he is a member of the Sun organization, and there is no member who can reign over the organization.
Obedience to Kang Tae-yang, who is the leader, older brother, and pillar, is absolute. Cha So-hyeok did not do that.
Kang Tae-yang changed the subject.
“By the way, that guy Shin Kang-hoo is really amazing. He killed So-hyeok and all three hunters from the Toushi Guild, right?”
“There was sniper support.”
“Anyway, only one archer died from sniping. In the end, it’s clear that one against three was killed.”
“That’s true. The subsequent sniping was only to the extent of obstructing the path. It didn’t cause any injuries.”
At that time, Kim In-ho was inspecting the scene.
One of his special abilities was the ability to see a desired point clearly from a great distance.
If it had the ability to zoom in and out like a camera, would that be an appropriate metaphor? It had exactly that kind of ability.
“I think I know why Dong-Hyeon gave the order to kill him. He must have been really upset. And he has the skills to do that too.”
“From what I understand, it seems like we’ve met in person at Club Hades.”
“But you escaped?”
“Yes. I heard that he used something like teleportation to disappear from Kang Dong-hyun’s sight.”
“Poohahaha! The assassin can teleport?”
“Yes, this is verified information.”
“It’s fun, it’s fun… … .”
Kang Taeyang licked his lips with the tip of his tongue. He was more interested in Kang Hoo’s existence than in Cha Sohyeok’s death.
I had heard news about Kang-hoo indirectly through various issues before.
However, Kang Tae-yang was someone I had dismissed as just an ordinary hunter.
But this time, after hearing the news of other hunters dying one after another along with Cha So-hyeok, my thoughts changed.
Not only did the assassin, who was most vulnerable in one-on-many combat, successfully defend himself, he killed everyone else?
This was absolutely impossible unless your basic skills were at a high level.
That means he’s not your average assassin.
