* * *

In a split second, their plans crossed.

The fake priest, who realized that his identity had been revealed, held out the cross he was holding to Kang-hoo.

The cross, which was covered with a hand, was covered with poison, as if it was intended for assassination.

Of course, Kang-hoo was not attacked by the cross because he had moved laterally at the right time.

“joy!”

However, the fake bride seemed to have anticipated Kang-hoo’s horizontal movement and immediately struck from behind.

The situation was that he knew in advance that Kang-hoo was an assassin after seeing the dagger he was holding.

So I was thinking about the possibility of using the horizontal movement at the maximum skill level, and it became a reality.

Phew!

The fake bride’s attack cut through the air beautifully.

He still wasn’t flustered, because he was thinking about doing another sideways movement.

I thought that if he was skilled enough to notice his own stomach, he would be able to handle this level of brain battle.

So, I suddenly shifted my body’s center of gravity back and deployed the skill in the original frontal direction.

【Binding】

A binding skill that prevents the target from moving.

It was a skill that was like the lifeline of a fake bride. Since it stops while standing, it becomes vulnerable to all attacks.

The hunter who had previously prayed for the soul of the deceased was also stabbed in the neck and died while unable to do anything due to the binding technique.

“… … !”

Kkuddeuk!

Soon, Kang-hoo, who had been caught in the trap, looked at the fake bride with a bewildered expression.

It was the kind of look that seemed to indicate a mental panic while the body was unable to move.

If there’s just one thing that bothers me, it’s that one of the hunters who seems to be accompanying me is too quiet?

However, based on his attire and appearance, he appeared to be a non-combat type hunter.

In other words, it was determined that the reason he was not targeting them now was because he did not have the fighting ability to do so.

“Be my daily stat today too. I will mercifully spare that guy, so you must become my nourishment.”

He placed his hand on Kang-hoo’s left chest with a smile of conversion.

It was to use a skill that instantly emits a powerful shockwave using the palm of one’s hand.

If you kill them like this, they will meet their end more cleanly than you might think. Of course, their bodies will be torn to pieces on the inside.

The moment he uses his finishing skill with a lot of force on the tip of his palm.

Push!

I felt and heard the cold metal forcefully digging into my flesh.

“… … ?”

But it wasn’t a feeling or sound that should have been derived from one’s own skills.

Because shock waves don’t make a popping sound, they make a stabbing sound.

Besides, I was the one who used the skill, so there was no reason for me to feel the cold metal.

That means.

“… … !”

The fake bride’s eyes widened as she realized the sound and the reason for the situation.

The situation unfolded without even a moment to scream.

I managed to look down and saw the dagger poking out from under my Adam’s apple.

Because of that, I couldn’t even let out a groan. All I could hear was the sound of air escaping.

The situation is already over.

There is no way to survive with a punctured throat.

Unless you really receive God’s protection. And unfortunately, you were not a good person who could receive God’s care.

at that time.

“Wow, bro. Did you calculate and plan all this?”

Clap clap clap!

Park Dong-jae, who had been watching the situation with a frightened expression the whole time, reacted by clapping.

The fake bride looked as if she couldn’t understand what Park Dong-jae was saying, but that only lasted for a moment.

Push shu shu!

The fake bride, who had been spurting out a huge amount of blood in a gushing manner, fell down dead.

It was a death caused by excessive bleeding that could not be endured no matter how hard one tried.

Kang-hoo, who was behind the fake bride, nodded when he saw him collapse next to him.

“The calculation of stabbing the station in the station is not difficult for a hunter who knows how to use his head. That’s why I twisted it once more.”

“Does that mean you knew that kid would roll his head twice?”

“Rather than saying I knew, I gave points to the intelligence of the guy who cleverly hit the back of the hunter’s head.”

“So you did another horizontal movement, summoned a clone, and then immediately did another horizontal movement?”

“yes.”

“Wow, this design is really good. Dude, this is no joke.”

“A fight. That’s the fun of battle. If you win, it’s fun. But if you lose, you die.”

Knock knock.

Kang-hoo touched the dead body of the fake bride with his toes. His body was cooling down.

Two new constellation information items that had been stolen from him were revealed on the list. They were useful.

【Despicable Priest】

The constellation that caused the death of the fake bride, the vile priest.

Now, if you kill two hunters a day, you can get an additional reward(?).

Of course, I had no intention of killing just anyone for a reward.

But the world is wide and there are many people to kill. It seems like there will be many opportunities to put it to good use when the opportunity arises.

【The Fallen Undertaker】

【You can pinpoint the location of dead hunters within a 250m radius.】

The Fallen Undertaker’s Constellation didn’t immediately come to mind as a useful one.

I was wondering if it would be helpful to be able to pinpoint the location of the dead hunter.

First of all, it seemed like it would be quite helpful in recovering dead hunters from places where incidents and accidents occurred.

‘Perhaps it would be helpful to collect the corpses of dead hunters and obtain items somewhere in these open dungeons?’

A plausible idea occurred to me.

If a hunter is intentionally killed by someone, all of their items will be taken away afterwards.

If you die from a fall, or die unexpectedly from a monster.

At that time, there was a high possibility that he would die while fully equipped with the item.

If such a body could be found, it would be possible to add some unexpected windfall income.

‘A painting that can’t help but welcome someone’s death. Is that why it’s called the Fallen Undertaker?’

Kang-hoo added a plausible reason and was convinced. In any case, it seemed useful enough.

Park Dong-jae couldn’t take his eyes off the dead guy, perhaps because the aftertaste of Kang-hoo’s trick had not faded.

“Wow… … It really is like a novel. It’s like a novel with an assassin protagonist who sees through everything.”

“I always think about wanting to be the main character of a novel like that. Of course, it’s a novel.”

Kang-hoo smiled bitterly.

Because I had a strange feeling while talking.

Because the life I am living is a life that has been captured in a novel.

But to Kang-hoo, it was ‘reality’ and not ‘novel’.

If you kill a character in a novel, they just disappear into words.

If the present self dies, all life will disappear. The soul will be annihilated.

“Brother, take a breath. I’ll collect the items.”

“I would appreciate it if you could do that.”

Kang-hoo nodded.

It’s not that I wanted to rest, but rather that my eyes were drawn to a new message that had just occurred to me.

【The constellation ‘Mad Murderer’ will provide you with 30 selectable stats if you meet the special conditions.】

【However, the stats of Anti-Horse and Matjip provide 15, and the special stats provide 10.】

The constellation that had previously killed and robbed Jo Gu-bin, the mad murderer, suddenly offered bonus stats.

I tried to check the detailed tooltip to see what the special conditions were, but nothing was printed.

Perhaps the constellation itself has some sort of standard in mind, but it seems that this time the killing ‘quota’ has been achieved.

Maybe it was because I killed the bad guy and achieved the conditions, but I felt good. It was like a feeling of being rewarded?

Kang-hoo chose the Dark Age stat without any hesitation.

Because the process of raising a special stat by even 1 is too difficult and tedious.

Unless you really need other stats, this is definitely the first choice.

Especially if you’re just starting out in the Dark Ages like we are now.

Even if your stats go up just a little, the destructive power of the Dark Age skill will also increase.

‘That’s good.’

Thanks to the Raging Killer, I got 10 Dark Age stats.

The face of Jo Gu-bin, whom I had killed before, came to mind.

A bastard who was such a piece of human trash that even killing him a hundred times wouldn’t be enough. He’s probably still burning in the fires of hell.

But right then.

At a time when Kang-hoo had not expected it, a personal channel related to the constellations suddenly opened.

A private channel is a conversation channel that is opened when there is an intimate conversation that can only be had between the two of you.

Since each conversation consumes the constellation’s power, it is not easy to open it.

Unless the conversation is that secret, it is usually replaced with a message.

The one who requested the conversation was the main constellation, the seeker of pure black. This was my first one-on-one conversation with him.

【Let me get straight to the point. I would like to offer you a constellation test. Will you accept?】

I was just wondering, and then the topic of the constellation test came up.

This is a gateway that must be passed to obtain the fourth privilege of the main constellation.

If you don’t take the constellation test, you will end up at the level of enjoying the three privileges forever.

Kang-hoo suddenly remembered the old constellation test that the Dimension Robber had proposed.

I was glad that it ended happily, but I remembered what she said after the test was over.

【When we did a preliminary test beforehand, the survival rate for this test was 15%. But you did it anyway.】

I can’t tell you how absurd it was to hear that. I wondered if he had been planning to soak himself from the beginning.

Kang-hoo wondered if the Black Seeker was looking for a way to legally ‘cut himself off’.

But still, if it’s his suggestion, it’s right to choose it even if you can’t eat it.

Because it is normal for the highest-ranking constellation in the Grand Temple to get one more thing.

Kang-hoo responded to the black-faced seeker by using the method of communicating in the form of thoughts.

Since Park Dong-jae was also present, I didn’t say anything out loud. There was no need to do so.

‘I will do it. However, I would like to do it after hearing a sufficient explanation. Am I being summoned to a space for the constellation test?’

【No. This is a test that can be performed in reality.】

‘You mean it’s not a summons?’

【Yes. The method is simple.】

He tilted his head slightly.

The test of the former contractor, Jang Si-hwan, was not in this format.

According to the original story, it was a case where one was summoned somewhere and took the test, like the Dimension Robber Test.

then.

Since the current contractor is Shin Kang-hoo himself and not Jang Si-hwan, did the content of the related test change?

The question mark is bold.

Kang-hoo answered.

‘What kind of test is it?’

【Pure Black Hypocrite. Kill the Hunter who made a contract with this constellation. That is the test I propose.】

Directly killing the hunter who made a contract with the constellation! It was the most intuitive yet difficult test.
