Episode 155 Stimulation (2)

* * *

‘It’s a bit difficult to adapt. If I make one wrong move, I feel like I could get hurt… But… The mulberry tastes good.’

This was my overall assessment after experiencing it myself, after selfishly indulging in the acceleration buff.

It was fast. It was so crazy fast that it wasn’t a matter of speed, but of whether my body could handle it.

Especially when trying to change direction suddenly or stop, the physical resistance was beyond imagination.

If you’re just obsessed with speed and overdo it, it wouldn’t be strange if your bones break or your muscles tear.

In the future, when Park Dong-jae is around, it seems like I need to learn how to handle my body when the acceleration buff is at its maximum.

Speeding on an open highway is no problem, but speeding on a winding road can be fatal.

It was exactly like that right now.

No matter how fast it is, if you can’t handle it skillfully, it’s just like an express train to the underworld.

After finishing the test like that.

First, I designated a save point for teleportation to the starting point.

I knew before I came that this dungeon would have many variables.

In case of an emergency, I was planning to at least prepare for the safe evacuation of Park Dong-jae.

When I explained the situation to Park Dong-jae in advance, he seemed touched and kept sending me sparkling looks.

“Hyung, you worry about the buffer first. You just throw away the bad kids and tell them to fend for themselves after seeing the buffer.”

“Don’t worry, those guys will be weeded out anyway. As long as the buffers don’t get shot in the head, they won’t collide with those guys again.”

“That’s right. So there are quite a few blacklists that are managed separately on the buffer network.”

“What else is a buffer network?”

“As the name suggests, it’s a secret community of buffers only. It’s more closed than you might think.”

“That’s right. If internal information leaks out, there will be a lot of people who will be in trouble.”

“Hey, bro! Look over there. It looks like Canis’ hunters are making a large-scale attack over there.”

When I turned my gaze in the direction that Park Dong-jae had pointed, I saw that hunters were indeed attacking a giant monster.

Canis.

This is the management entity for the entire open dungeon.

It is also a guild that is well known in the United States. Of course, it cannot be compared to the Portuna Guild.

Right then.

From the direction where the battle of the Canis Guild was taking place, a group of hunters emerged from the bushes.

They all wore the epaulettes of the Canis Guild, and most of them had hostile expressions on their faces.

Whoever was there, it was the kind of look that made you not want to associate with anyone unless they were related.

As expected.

“Everyone, please stay at least 500 meters away. We don’t know when the battlefield will expand to here. When that happens, we’ll kill any hunters who get in the way.”

One of the Gunner Hunters of the Canis Guild pointed his gun and pressed forward threateningly.

It was a strong expression of intent that they did not want any hunters outside of the Canis Guild to be involved in any way.

If it had been another guild or group of hunters, there would have been a bloodbath right here.

Neither Kang Hoo nor Park Dong Jae had any such intentions, as the Canis Guild was the management entity.

It’s also a kind of privilege. As a guild that manages the entire dungeon, you are guaranteed special hunting opportunities.

If you are curious, just challenge them and confront them.

But of course, the ending can’t be good, especially if it’s one of the most successful guilds in America.

So Kang-hu and Park Dong-jae stepped back without any hesitation.

“Brother, what are you saying?”

Park Dong-jae, who is not good at English, asked Kang-hoo. He vaguely understood that it was a warning, saying something about killing something.

“Get out, it’s my hunting territory. Otherwise, I’ll get caught.”

“ah.”

“Isn’t it simple?”

“I see. By the way, it seems like you know English pretty well, hyung?”

“Korean, Chinese, Japanese, English, and Latin. I can speak five of them.”

“Wow… … This is crazy.”

“It’s a shame that I couldn’t learn more.”

I was sincere.

Someday I will be active on the world stage, but I don’t want to feel the language barrier at that time.

Of course, just knowing how to speak English will get you through most things.

Still, when living the original author’s life, my interest in studying languages ​​helped me a lot.

Especially in languages ​​like Japanese and English, I was able to speak them at a level better than the locals.

Rather, my Chinese was on the relatively low side. Of course, this is also at the local level.

Kang-hoo turned his attention away from the North, which was going crazy due to the monster ‘raid’ of the Canis Guild.

And pointed towards the south and east.

As we did a briefing before entering the dungeon, it is because there are relatively few hunters coming and going.

The terrain was very rugged and difficult, and there were many dense forests, making it difficult to secure visibility.

For that reason, hunters preferred the north and west, which were open areas that were advantageous for securing a field of vision and responding to variables.

“Dongjae.”

“huh?”

“As I said before, it’s an open dungeon, so there are a lot of mid-bosses and main bosses.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Mibo, how about we just hunt Mebo? If you go at my pace, I’ll give you all the loot.”

“Are you okay? I’m the buff shuttle so it’s okay, but you’re the one who has to fight properly, right?”

“That’s my problem.”

“If it doesn’t matter to my brother, then I’m fine, right? Even if I get to give up all the loot.”

“call?”

“But what do you get in return, hyung?”

At that time, Park Dong-jae asked a sharp question.

Perhaps it was a natural thought.

Giving up loot is something you do when you want to take something in return.

But in Park Dong-jae’s view, if he took the spoils, there would be nothing left for Kang-hoo.

Although he was a little flustered, Kang-hoo naturally resolved the situation with the answer he had prepared in advance.

“Experience monopolization.”

“Ah. Can you spare me a minute at the end? Then I can get all the experience points.”

“yes.”

“So that means I have to give up my experience… … Well, then why don’t I try making some real money while I’m at it?”

“call?”

“Okay. Call.”

The deal was done.

There is no other reason why Kang-hoo is so greedy for the middle boss and the main boss. It is because of skill theft.

The open dungeon has a large scale and contains numerous mid-bosses and main bosses.

For Kang-hoo, this place was like a huge buffet.

The Hell of Judgment was a place so vast that it was beyond comparison, and there were many ‘side dishes’ to be greedy about.

Of course, as the dungeon level is high, the difficulty is quite high. There won’t be any easygoing guys.

A single skill is so valuable that it cannot be put into words.

Even if he had to give up hundreds of billions of won worth of loot to Park Dong-jae, Kang-hoo would have no regrets.

Depending on which skills you acquire, even just one skill can replace the value.

Skill books are expensive to call. Acquiring skills along the same lines is also worth the same.

It takes about an hour to travel along the southern route with Park Dong-jae.

As we moved away from the dungeon entrance, which was a sort of gathering place, the surroundings became quiet.

The number of hunters I often encountered on my way here has decreased significantly, and the frequency of encounters has also decreased noticeably.

There were some small battles here and there, but since they were just hunting monsters that had strayed from the group, nothing major happened.

It was a meal that only gave me a brief respite from the stimuli, to the point where I missed a proper battle.

But at that time.

A hunter who had been rarely seen has appeared.

Although his appearance was different from that of a typical hunter, he was clearly a hunter.

Park Dong-jae suddenly clasped his hands together politely and spoke to Kang-hu at the sudden appearance of the priest.

Of course, I lowered my voice so he couldn’t hear.

“Brother, why are you a priest? Judging by your attire, you look like a priest.”

“well.”

“I see the corpse of a dead hunter? It looks like they’re praying to it.”

“hmm.”

“You must have had a hard time. It’s so nice to see you come all the way here to pray for a dead hunter… .”

Perhaps because she had the appearance of a true bride, Park Dong-jae quickly let his guard down.

It couldn’t be helped, the priest was holding the dead hunter’s hands and praying.

He also made the sign of the cross over the book and the cross placed on Hunter’s chest. The tears that fell in between were a bonus.

Kang-hoo had been looking at the bride with narrowed eyes from the beginning.

This is because the constellation information was too heterogeneous to be considered the image of a priest who was faithful to his faith.

【Despicable Priest】

【When you perform a ritual to pray for the soul of a hunter you killed with your own hands, you will randomly receive 1 to 10 stat points as a bonus.

You can do this up to twice in 24 hours, and if you do it twice, 24 hours must pass before you can try again.】

A constellation that allows you to conditionally gain bonus points from Hunters you kill, from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 10.

It is a constellation that causes serial murders. It is a constellation that encourages full-scale murders. It has no choice but to be that way.

I was also certain that it was not a real priest. It was most likely a devil disguised as a priest.

at that time.

The fake bride, who had slowly gotten up, looked at Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae, wiped away her tears, and carefully bowed her head.

Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae also received his greetings.

However, Kang-hoo sent a finger signal behind his waist that was not visible to the bride.

One middle finger. A signal that has been agreed upon to be used when referring to the ‘enemy’. It means that they are a target of caution.

Park Dong-jae, who quickly realized the meaning, greeted her more politely.

Let’s take this a step further.

“I respect you. It’s not common to find someone who prays for the soul of the deceased like this.”

“No. It’s always heartbreaking to see someone die so tragically. Are you headed this way?”

“Yes, that’s right. What about you, Father?”

“I was trying to solo play here, but I felt my skills were limited and was about to leave. But unfortunately… … .”

The bride turned her gaze back to the dead hunter and made the sign of the cross.

But Seongho’s direction was the exact opposite. He seemed to be more serious, perhaps without even realizing it.

Park Dong-jae gulped, perhaps nervous. It was because he could move on to the combat phase at any time.

Kang-hoo strode towards the fake bride. It didn’t seem like this situation would pass quietly.

If you’re here ‘hunting’ hunters alone, you probably aren’t an ordinary person.

Here, the effect will be even greater because he has the appearance of a believer who is perfect for breaking down other people’s boundaries.

Kang-hoo got lucky.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Then he also answered.

“No. If it’s okay with you… … . Would it be okay if I prayed for you two? I have a constellation that brings me great luck.”

‘Even dog whining sounds plausible because it’s done creatively.’

Kang-hoo laughed inwardly.

If you couldn’t scan his constellation information, it would be an easy lie to fall for.

What hunter would refuse an offer of a prayer to increase his luck?

There will also be a belief that was not there before. It can also be interpreted as meaning that a buff of some kind will be given.

Right then.

Kang-hoo, who thought that further delay was pointless, took a step closer to the fake bride.

And in a quiet voice.

Whispered in his ear.

“Take it easy, kid.”

It was a short, sharp, and venomous remark directed at a man who would sell his faith for his own ends.
