Episode 235 Underwater Battle (6)

【First, you will be granted 100 ‘Dark Age’ stats.】

【Second, you are granted the ability to recover 1 Darkness per minute.】

【Third, it perfectly mediates the body and mind from going out of control during the process of dealing with the dark period.】

First, we see three familiar perks.

A constellation of the pure-black seeker brought in using a twisted contract from Jang Si-hwan.

Thirdly, Jang Si-Hwan’s stability as a black magician has been greatly reduced due to the effect being taken away from him.

Of course, Jang Si-hwan has never spoken publicly about his instability.

It’s probably being kept a secret. Even his closest friend, Chae Gwan-hyung, likely doesn’t know.

‘Because to everyone around him, Jang Si-hwan is just light. Because light shouldn’t waver.’

That’s why Jang Si-hwan, the person involved, must be feeling really angry.

You’ll want to somehow figure out who took the Black Seeker, but there’s no way to know.

Unless Kang-hoo goes to Jang Si-hwan’s face and says, “Your constellation is awesome.”

A twisted contract.

I wish I could get it again, but unfortunately I don’t know anything about this part.

I just hope that by some chance, I will come back and steal Jang Si-hwan’s core again.

【Fourth, among the 13 towers in the Dark Sanctuary, you can train to strengthen your ‘spiritual body’ in 6 of them.

The strengthening of the spirit body will soon lead to growth in the Dark Age, but from the moment you enter the tower, you will be unable to make a contract with a constellation related to divine power.

‘This was it. The fourth.’

To understand the basis of this perk, the first thing you need to know is what a Dark Sanctuary is.

Kang-hoo has a constellation called ‘Guardian of the Dark Sanctuary’.

In the past, when Yoon Sang-mi was in danger, the place where the problem solver was killed and robbed was the dark sanctuary.

According to the original setting, the area where the constellations are located is called the Great Temple on a large scale.

If we compare it to the real world, the Great Temple can be seen as Earth.

When discussing ‘humanity’, in the big picture, it means living on Earth. That’s exactly the concept.

If we look for a form similar to the Dark Sanctuary here, it would be the North or South Pole. It is an area with a special environment.

The Dark Sanctuary is only inhabited and accessible by constellations that are inclined towards evil.

If a neutral or good-aligned constellation attempts to enter the Dark Sanctuary? It is immediately destroyed.

Conversely, if a constellation from the Dark Sanctuary tries to change its nature to neutral or good? It will also be destroyed.

If we compare it to human race, it’s like black or white. It can’t be changed, and even if it were to be changed, it wouldn’t be normal.

The Dark Sanctuary is essentially the base and spiritual stronghold of a constellation with an evil alignment.

Although it was not possible to summon the contractor’s physical body, it was possible to summon a spirit body.

After training here, they are sent back to help improve their evil tendencies.

That’s the dark age.

However, from the moment you enter the dark sanctuary, a kind of brand is stamped on both your physical and spiritual body.

You will never again be associated with a constellation of good tendencies.

For example, it would be the complete opposite of the constellation based on divine power that Ahn Young-ho signed a contract with.

‘There is no way I could ever handle the power of light. We can coexist, but we will never become one.’

Kang-hoo vividly remembered the fourth privilege again.

If there’s one trick, it’s that you can make a contract as much as you want before entering the tower of the Dark Sanctuary.

If you want to commit a contract fraud(?) against a constellation related to divine power, you can do so in advance. It will not be applied retroactively and the contract will not be broken.

‘You shouldn’t take the spiritual strengthening training lightly. If you die there, you die spiritually and become an idiot.’

The use of the fourth privilege needs to be carefully considered.

It is very attractive in that it has dark age growth potential, but it is also a one coin coin.

【Fifth, you can execute the constellation ability and skill, ‘Order of Nothingness.’

You can burn the target’s Darkness equal to the total amount of Darkness you used.

At the same time, it causes 50% of the amount of health lost as much as the Dark Age burned, and seals the opponent’s Dark Age skills for 1 minute.

Even if your total amount of Darkness is less than that of your opponent, the same mechanism applies, but the sealing time is shortened to 30 seconds.

‘Dark Age Counter.’

The composition is fine.

This is a great ability to instantly incapacitate your opponent, as long as you are confident that they have less Dark Age than you.

In addition, if you have a tricky dark age skill, you can seal the skill for 30 seconds regardless of rank.

There’s no need to fight the Hunters who deal with the Dark Age right now, but it’s definitely necessary in the long run.

Especially when you think of a black magician like Jang Si-hwan. It’s a skill with high future value.

at that time.

【Special Notice】

【Displays the locations of 10 boss-level monsters that dramatically help with Dark Age growth.】

Kang-hoo’s eyes sparkled at the additionally activated notification.

It seemed to be a natural benefit that came with unlocking the fifth Pure Black Seeker privilege.

The locations and names of dungeons and fields are displayed, just like the locations of the Corruption Set series.

Looking at the list, the closest place detected is… …North Korea.

‘Is it North Korea?’

A bitter smile comes out.

Having recently fought a life-or-death battle with the Queen of the Crows, I become extremely nervous when I think of North Korea.

Of course, it is a place you must go to. The fact that it is difficult also means that there is a high possibility of growth.

* * *

All items were also recovered from the dead Go Kyung-ho.

Starting with the sword he was holding, most of it was for arms.

Among them, there was one useful item: a pair of gloves.

【Grudge – Gloves】

【Rating: 3rd grade】

【Stamina +250】

【Hatred – You can maximize the evil power of the gloves by utilizing magic power.】

‘This way, even if you remove the existing Soulmate Gloves, you can gain 50 more stamina and add a variable to evil power.’

Kang-hoo carefully took off the 5th-grade gloves, his soul mate, that he had grown attached to.

【Soulmate – Gloves】

【Rating: 5th grade】

【One-handed gloves increase your stamina value by the level.】

【You can increase your stamina up to 200】

This was a useful item because it increased health by 1 in proportion to level up to level 200.

But when a higher grade is released, it eventually becomes an item that will disappear into the back alleys of history.

Now it is out of Kang-hoo’s hands.

The other half is wearing the Evil Affair Gloves, which allow him to apply two daggers to his stats.

So unfortunately, there was no way to be with your soulmate. It would be better to find a good owner for it.

“Kyung-ho Ko didn’t use his good gloves properly. Well, to be exact, I didn’t give him time to use them.”

Kang-hoo, who changed his gloves, infused magic power into the gloves of resentment.

Kwuk.

Within a short time, veins began to appear all over the glove, making it hard and giving it a uniquely enhanced grip and holding power.

The best test subject is Ko Kyung-ho. The dead don’t speak, so you can test them with peace of mind.

Kook.

I grabbed Go Kyung-ho’s wrist.

And as I increased my evil power while infusing my magic power to the max, I immediately received a response from my wrist.

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch!

I heard the sound of my wrist bones breaking, if not shattering.

The force required was equal to the amount of magical power that was being breathed into it, and soon the wrist bone was completely shattered. It was turned into dust.

For Kang-hoo, who often engages in close combat, these gloves seem like they would be useful.

If you have to, you can grab the neck or anything else. If the opponent is a man, a vital point can also be a very good(?) target.

Just in case, he looked through Go Kyung-ho’s pocket and found a bunch of small plastic bags containing drugs.

“Instead of asking for money on your way to the afterlife, go and find something that will make you feel better.”

Kang-hoo tore open the plastic bag with a dagger and sprinkled white powder over the dead body of Go Kyung-ho.

“after.”

I feel weak again.

It seemed dangerous to go to the Pyeongtaek branch where Jeon Se-hyeok and Ban Se-yeong were fighting in this state.

Once the Mad Solarkyum effect wears off, fatigue will surely hit like an aftershock.

If I didn’t use my skills to build up my stamina as much as possible, it seemed like my wounds would continue to eat away at my strength.

Kang-hoo took a bandage out of his pocket, roughly estimated the location of the wound, and wrapped the bandage around his waist like a belt.

Thinking back, I think it was a blessing that I didn’t experience Go Kyung-ho’s mad awakening firsthand.

Although he harassed Ko Kyung-ho by taking advantage of his weak points with a successful strategic move, it was clearly not an easy victory.

When Go Kyung-ho was being pushed back, he took a counterattack and stabbed backwards with his sword.

Seriously, if I had let my guard down even just a little bit, my life could have ended there.

‘Is it covered up to level 400 now? Come to think of it, I didn’t fight at full power either.’

A calculation that allows you to objectively look back on your own skills is provided.

This time, I didn’t use the Gakshinhwan, and the battle didn’t last long and ended at an appropriate time.

I suddenly remembered the old days.

When I first opened my eyes in this world.

He was a prisoner at the Cheongmyeong concentration camp with a body that was incomparably thin compared to his current body.

The body of a lowly level 10 hunter was so weak that his head would spin even after fighting for a short while.

At that time, all I could think about was escaping from the camp and finding a way to make a living.

Now, we are actively and proactively creating our own destiny.

At that time, Jang Si-hwan felt like he was at the end of the sky, a place that was truly unreachable.

Now, if I lifted my leg and stretched out my hand, I could probably grab the hem of the hanging clothes.

“For now… … . I think it would be right to walk for a while and then take a rest.”

Kang-hu got up and started walking in the direction of the Pyeongtaek branch.

This is the route that Go Kyung-ho was trying to run to in a hurry before he died. Kang-hoo moved slowly.

Rather than wanting to go and fight, I was curious to see how Jeon Se-hyeok, Ban Se-young, and his team would fight.

If you’re going to deal with Eclipse in the future, you’ll be meeting their team often.

It is necessary to directly see with your own eyes the capabilities of the potential colleagues with whom you will strategically join forces.

If the Sprouts were made up of yellow team members, I would have boldly planned to act alone.

A teammate who is a burden to the team and not helpful to the team is more useless than the enemy they are dealing with.

Kang-hoo thought so.

After a while.

Kang-hu, who was positioned in a position with a good view of the Pyeongtaek branch, was able to watch the scene of the great brawl.

Underwater combat in bad weather is a tough task for those fighting the battle.

It was quite entertaining to watch from the position of watching with arms crossed.

Kang-hoo watched the battle situation from under an abandoned outpost building that was moderately sheltered from the wind and rain.

It was perfect.

Taang!

Eclipse’s hunters, who were running away to save themselves after leaving the branch building, were shot by Ban Se-young.

The hunters who survived the sniping attack were ambushed as they fled through the path that Jeon Se-hyeok had deliberately opened.

As Eclipse members continued to run away from inside the building, it seemed that Jeon Se-hyeok had firmly taken control of the interior.

Otherwise, there would be no way I could have followed the thirty-six strategies.

Jeon Se-hyeok said that he would rather take away one day from the Eclipse guys than live another day himself.

“Hoo. Hoo. Hoo.”

As he came out of the branch chasing the fugitives, his beard was completely stained with red blood.

If you looked at it, it was a beard soaked in blood, so much so that you would think it had been dyed red from the beginning.

At that moment.

Jeon Se-hyeok’s gaze, which was looking around, met Kang-hu, who was resting at the outpost on the hill.

Then, without saying a word, everyone raised their hands as if they had made a promise.

At the tip of the dagger held by Kang-hoo, the blood of Go Kyung-ho that had not yet flowed out was dripping down.

“… … .”

There was no conversation between them, but that was enough to convey the results.

Jeon Se-hyeok bowed his head toward Kang-hu and expressed his gratitude.

A perfect victory achieved by each person in their respective roles!

In particular, it was a great feat that Kang-hoo killed Ko Kyung-ho, one of Eclipse’s key executives.
