“Yes.”

“Wow… … I suddenly felt so weak that I thought I saw a ghost. I was even hallucinating.”

“If there’s a ghost-shaped monster, this one will react first. It may look like this, but it’s still useful.”

“I understand, brother. It feels like a skill that would suit a necromancer, sorcerer, or warlock, but I always appreciate that you have it.”

“Why, because you have many skills?”

“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand the mechanics of your skill possession. Oh, I don’t mean it in a bad way.”

“I have no intention of denying it either.”

Kang-hoo laughed.

Usually, assassins have assassin-like skills. This is because the basic skills are differentiated in that way.

And even if you get a skill book, it’s even worse because learning other classes’ skills is a loss in itself.

However, thanks to the Dimension Robber, Kang-hoo can steal skills from the middle boss and main boss without penalty.

In addition, since you can learn skill books of other classes by using tricks, the differentiation is bound to be arbitrary.

That’s why all the hunters who deal with Kang-hoo find him difficult. Because he’s unpredictable.

Kang-hoo first sent the fallen ghosts to the front.

I was worried that there would be monsters swarming around the entrance to the dungeon, but the surrounding area was quieter than I expected.

To prevent his body from stiffening, Kang-hoo loosened it up by mixing in some left and right movements.

Youngho Ahn also activated and released the heel repeatedly to ensure that the raised feeling did not disappear.

How long did it take to walk like that?

Ahn Young-ho slyly confessed his innermost feelings. It seemed like his worries were too much to keep to himself.

“Brother. I have a concern these days. Can I tell you about it?”

“Let me hear it. If it’s nothing to worry about, I can tell you something.”

Perhaps because he had seen Ahn Young-ho’s self-esteem hit rock bottom earlier, Kang-hoo warned him in advance.

If you ever say something that belittles your self-worth, I plan on swearing at you.

“I’m worried about my uncle because the atmosphere is so chaotic these days. My uncle is the number one target in the Toushi Guild.”

“There’s no denying that.”

“I always make sure to be fully prepared, but I still worry all the time.”

“Have you ever shown it to your uncle?”

“Not yet.”

“Keep doing that. In my opinion, Fumiya-sama is more concerned about safety than anyone else.”

“Is that so?”

“He is someone who knows the weight, responsibility, and symbolism of his position. Don’t worry.”

“I guess I worried for nothing.”

“You can worry. But you have to keep it to yourself. If you add these worries to the other person, it will distort all your stable thoughts.”

“ah…….”

“It’s easier to break perfection than you think. Just say something to the effect of something not being perfect, and that’s it.”

“It’s not a question of whether it’s perfect or not.”

“That’s right. Just by throwing out a topic, the other person will keep thinking about it. It’s like when you tell them not to think about elephants, they keep thinking about elephants.”

Ahn Young-ho also became calm as he heard Kang-hoo’s voice, which was consistently calm.

Just a moment ago, Youngho Ahn was worried that his uncle might be in danger while he was away.

For a moment, embarrassment rose up. Ahn Young-ho quickly changed the subject with a slightly red face.

“Oh, and I’m really grateful and sorry, hyung. You’ve helped me and our guild in so many ways.”

“You didn’t do it for free.”

“Still. Not only me, but my uncle and the guild members also see you differently.”

“You think it looks good?”

“Of course! There are many people who have become interested in you, Big Brother! This is because of what happened in the city and the things related to Yuuji!”

It is true that the series of events that occurred in Osaka this time greatly enhanced Kang-hoo’s reputation.

The killing of the Toushi guild members was presented as a heroic act, and was exposed to Hunter Gram for quite some time.

Rumors of Yuji’s successful strike were still spreading within the Ricou Guild.

Since the Ricou Guild had initially expressed their gratitude, it was strange that the rumor didn’t spread.

at that time.

Kissishishishit!

The fallen ghost reacted.

The fallen ghost, which had been maneuvering in the air like an eagle that had spotted its prey, swooped down and flew away.

At the place where the fallen ghost arrived, a ghost-shaped monster was standing there as if it were nothing.

The name is Soul Hunter. It is a monster that does not sound pleasant.

It looks exactly like a warlock wearing a black robe, and it shoots balls covered in black smoke.

This sphere is the sphere that separates the soul and body, and if hit once, there is a possibility that it will be separated from the body.

The only fortunate part is that the speed of the sphere itself is slow enough that you can avoid it if you concentrate?

But as time goes by, spheres of black smoke, or ‘soul spheres’ for short, start to appear around you.

The key to the strategy was to kill the soul hunters without taking too long.

Of course, normal attacks won’t work at all. Only attacks using dark power or divine power can be used.

Kang-hoo planned to use the method he had established while conquering the Dark Age dungeon.

It is not perfect. The efficiency is not good yet, and the completion rate is low.

However, we are continuing to try, even though it is insufficient, as it is a very important change in the future direction.

That was to include darkness in the basic attack. It was to allow the darkness attribute to be included.

When using skills related to the Dark Age, I tried to apply the sensation I felt in my body to basic attacks as well.

It was not an easy task, but as I repeated the training, a breakthrough itself was made.

Although the efficiency is low, the structure could be improved to use some of the dark period even in basic attacks.

Thanks to that, all basic attacks were currently working as effective hits, except for the issue of efficiency.

“Youngho.”

“yes?”

“I told you this before you came to the dungeon. If you have some free time while assisting me, try treating the soul hunter as well.”

“… … Will that be okay?”

“Try it and then think about it. Don’t censor yourself in advance.”

“Okay, brother.”

“Don’t overthink the method. Think of me as a soul hunter. Then imagine that this guy is on the verge of death, and use all your might to heal him.”

“ah…….”

“It’s not that you don’t have the talent to be a combat healer. You just haven’t found the method yet.”

“I’ll try.”

“Okay. Try it. Even if it doesn’t work, keep trying. You have to lose to win, right?”

“Yes, bro!”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Kang-hoo immediately started charging towards the soul hunter.

With perfect timing, the Fallen Ghost continued to perform a circling maneuver that confused the Soul Hunter’s vision.

Although it has no offensive capabilities, it is quite possible to annoy people by constantly moving around in front of you.

Shhhhh!

As Kang-hoo appeared to be approaching, the soul hunter fired a soul sphere.

The sphere moves at the speed of an adult walking briskly. So, if you are aware of it, you can easily avoid it.

However, once it reaches a 30m radius, it bounces back as if there was a wall… … .

It would be a good idea to input the predicted return path into your head, otherwise you’ll get hit by a blinding sphere.

“after!”

Phew!

Kang-hoo cut down the soul hunter’s body with a basic attack using a dagger.

If it were the original, it would have been an attack that just cut through the air without any meaning, like digging in the air.

But perhaps because it was an attack that somehow captured the dark ages, a red line was drawn on the soul hunter’s body.

An effect was created that seemed to inflict wounds on the soul hunter’s body along the path the dagger traveled.

Of course, that alone didn’t kill the soul hunter or anything.

It was more of a symbolic sign of damage, and the body wasn’t actually torn apart like that.

‘It’s still not efficient. It doesn’t seem to be even 10% of what I thought.’

It’s a valid attack, but not fatal. That was a sobering assessment.

It seemed like it needed a lot of polishing. Now that it’s just starting to walk, there’s no need to be too anxious.

However, since Kang-hoo was still wounding him with his basic attacks, the spirit hunter, who had been in high spirits, paused for a moment.

In the meantime.

Kang-hoo uses the illusion technique and shadow walking to blur the guy’s vision as much as possible.

【Black Moon Cham】

I used a hidden skill.

This was a skill that Kang-hoo had been consistently using while conquering undead dungeons.

Since I couldn’t kill the ghost-type monster without using Black Moon Slash, I used it for almost every attack.

Because I had to go through that much darkness and wait for recovery, it took quite some time to conquer it.

Psiing!

Within, the Black Moon Slash launched from the tip of Kang-hoo’s dagger and flew towards the soul hunter with a strange sound.

The sound of death!

But for a soul hunter who was encountering this form of attack for the first time, it was an incomprehensible funeral march.

Same time.

An Young-ho was filled with doubts after seeing the unidentified skill projectile that Kang-hoo had sent.

Earlier, when Kang-hoo said that he had conquered an undead dungeon.

I thought I had already passed over and conquered all the ghost-type monsters like the Soul Hunter.

Since I did not directly observe the attack, I made a ‘common sense’ judgment.

Killing ghost-type monsters is only possible in a form that matches their attributes.

That is, unless the assassin Kang-hoo possessed dark power or divine power, he would not be able to kill the soul hunter.

As is widely known, this type of handling of special stats is not common.

It’s hard to even get stats, let alone skills.

There were quite a few cases where even if you had stats, you couldn’t use them because you didn’t have skills.

But Kang-hoo used the skill as if he had been prepared.

‘Not only does my brother possess the Dark Age, but he also has the skill to utilize it?’

Circumstances suggest so.

Soul Hunters are not easy opponents. They are considered quite tricky.

Even if you can handle the Dark Age, you’ll need to engage him multiple times to deal any significant damage to him…

Phew!

When he thought it was necessary, the soul hunter who had been hit by Kang-hoo’s Black Moon Slash exploded on the spot.

Like a water balloon pierced in the center with a needle, it shattered into hundreds of pieces in an instant. It was instant death.

“… … .”

Youngho Ahn’s fingertips trembled greatly.

Not only do you know how to handle the Dark Age, you also know how to use Dark Age skills.

That was why he confidently went through the Undead Dungeon alone. There was a reason for Kang-hoo’s confidence.

Ahn Young-ho, who had no experience with hidden skills, could not have guessed that Black Moon Slash would be a hidden skill.

Still, the power was clearly engraved in both eyes.

The soul hunter ended his life in one go. It was a stage that ended without even giving him time to practice as a combat healer.

“You didn’t control your strength. I tried to give you some practice at the last minute, but you were sent to the ground in one go.”

The sight of Kang-hoo coming next to him and apologizing for finishing it all in one go was the highlight of the show.

Kang-hoo, a life-saving benefactor, older brother, and excellent assassin, speaks lightly of this dire situation.

What are his limits?

Even Ahn Young-ho, who had developed a keen eye for detail under his capable uncle, had no idea.

There’s a monster right in front of me.
