Episode 242 Norway (3)

In the big picture, this means that even the prestigious guilds can be seen as allies.

‘I think I need to get close to the prestigious guild. It’s also a guild that has nothing bad about it.’

My calculations are getting faster.

Of course, there are forces that hold animosity towards the Purification Guild. They just aren’t revealed.

“Is there a way to get closer to the Myungga Guild? Dongjae, it would be great if you could help me.”

“Brother, do you know what’s scary?”

“What is it?”

“I’ve been wanting to do it for a while now. I was cutting it on purpose because I thought it might be burdensome for you.”

“I didn’t know that.”

“I told you I wouldn’t tell you until you asked me to. But I think it’s okay to tell you now.”

Could it be because the Myungga Guild smelled that Kang-hoo would dislike the Jeong-hwa Guild? It probably wouldn’t be to that extent.

However, seeing as he has not yet joined the Purification Guild despite being quite famous… … you can probably guess.

“Then make room for me.”

“First, let me just say that my brother wants to be friends with the Myeongga Guild. It’s not like my brother has any ill feelings toward the Purification Guild, right?”

Yes, there are a lot.

However, there is no need to tell Park Dong-jae what will happen to his relationship with Jang Si-hwan.

He neither confirmed nor denied Park Dong-jae’s question, but just smiled awkwardly. Park Dong-jae didn’t ask any more questions.

– Dear passengers, please fasten your seatbelts as we will be landing soon. Please… … .

An announcement is heard. It looks like landing is just around the corner.

Oslo Airport was right in front of us.

* * *

After completing the immigration process, Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae followed the local male hunter who came to pick them up.

When I asked him, he said that he came out to meet Oh Yu-jin at her request. It seems that he is quite close with Oh Yu-jin.

Since we were only going to be dropped off from Oslo Airport to Oslo Cathedral anyway, there wasn’t much talk.

So, Park Dong-jae and I were looking out the window and talking about the scenery that was different from that in Korea.

This is because I happened to catch a glimpse of a large group of hunters training.

It was on a hill not far from the airport.

“All the hunters training on that hill seem to be from the Norwegian Police Service.”

“Yeah. The shoulder straps are exactly like those of the police chief.”

“I heard that, unlike our country, Norway has a well-maintained order centered on the police.”

“That’s right. They say that joining the police station here is the most honorable thing for a hunter. In fact, you get a lot of special privileges.”

“They’re completely different from us.”

“Yeah. Bitterly speaking.”

Of course, there were not many cases like Norway where the Hunter Air Force took the lead.

Norway is a rather special case. Most countries have similar default values ​​to Korea.

The United States has a police department, but because it is divided among each state, there is not much cooperation between them.

As a result, even though a federal integrated police agency was established, it had no binding force and cooperation was not carried out well.

In Japan, the purpose of the National Police Agency has completely changed. It is no longer to mediate order in the Hunter World, but to protect civilians.

So, even though fierce battles were taking place between guilds in various places and bloody fights were repeated, he did not intervene at all.

Instead, Hunters who carelessly touch civilians are punished with full force.

This is what the Korean National Police Agency pursued.

At least within the sphere of influence of the Purification Guild, the power of the Police Department was being exerted well.

We arrived at Oslo Cathedral before we knew it.

When I looked at the scene, I saw that there were indeed thirteen dungeons, and their entrances were arranged in the shape of a cross.

As previously agreed, Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae headed to the entrance of the dungeon numbered 13.

Perhaps because foreign hunters often come, no one showed any particular interest in the two.

They all seemed busy with their own work. First of all, no one recognized who the two were.

So it was comfortable.

When Park Dong-jae went to a nearby market for a final maintenance.

A new message appeared for Kang-hoo. It was news about something he had momentarily forgotten about.

【Congratulations! The waiting time has expired and the new option has been activated.】

‘Ah, when I fed the dagger to the corrupted belief with a distorted awakening before. You said that a new option would be activated.’

My memory came back.

I saw the message then too.

Since there was no indication of when the waiting time would end, I forgot about it at some point while waiting.

Perhaps because I had completely forgotten about it, the sudden message felt more like a gift than a surprise.

【Galgu – You can upgrade this dagger to Grade 1 by using 3 Jeokjeol.】

The new option was to sacrifice three stat stones to upgrade the dagger by one level.

Kang-hoo currently has a total of two red stones. If he adds one more, the calculation becomes possible.

‘I guess I need to find a way to add one more stone. It’s really hard to get… … .’

It is not possible to obtain the abbreviation with certainty.

I know of one place where there are quite a few redstones, but it is practically impossible to conquer.

Because it is inside the subspace that Jang Si-hwan deals with. It is like a pie in the sky.

If you want to have a higher chance of finding it in a dungeon, you have to go to England.

‘You could use the Spitfire Guild in Britain, but the problem is the probability. It’s not 100%.’

It’s not that there’s no way, but it doesn’t seem like a problem that needs to be addressed immediately.

Since the red stone can drop randomly, it is possible for it to appear in this dungeon raid as well. The probability is extremely low, though.

Anyway, Kang-hoo, who checked the newly added options, realized the need for one Jeok-yo-seok and finished preparing.

As soon as Park Dong-jae arrives, we’ll be ready to go.

* * *

The instinct to run.

Concentration.

Strategic control.

As soon as he entered the dungeon, a buff was immediately applied to Kang-hoo. It was a buff skill from Park Dong-jae that he had experienced before.

【Protection of the Mother Earth】

【Slightly increases evasion rate for skills. If you remain unhittable for a certain period of time, a protection that allows guaranteed evasion is activated.】

“Oh.”

“Is this your first time?”

“You’ve gained a skill in the meantime.”

“This is a buff skill that will be very effective for you, hyung. What do you think?”

“I think I should do some testing.”

Kang-hoo made an interested expression after checking the buff that he had never seen before.

The small increase in skill evasion rate is not the core of this buff. It is literally a small increase.

The key is that when special conditions are met, a protection that allows ‘confirmed avoidance’ is activated.

This means that no matter how powerful the skill is, you can evade it 100%.

Certainly, since there was no buff, it felt like my combat power had increased by two or three times more than usual.

It seems that the saying that there are hunters who have never searched for a buffer, but there are no hunters who search for one only once is not wrong.

Meanwhile, Kang-hoo spent a long time without getting hit while wearing the Earth Goddess’s protection buff.

A translucent form of energy appeared that enveloped the body, and the confirmed evasion was activated.

At that moment, a monster called the Mad Slinger appeared in front.

The name has been translated into Korean, but it’s easy to think of it as a goblin that throws rocks.

Kang-hoo stood in front of the guy on purpose. Then the guy threw a stone at Kang-hoo with all his might with an angry expression.

The next moment.

WHEEK!

The stone, which should have clearly hit Kang-hoo along the normal path, missed.

It looked like a picture of two magnets of the same pole repelling each other, as if they had suddenly met.

“The performance is certain.”

Kang-hoo looked at Park Dong-jae and gave him a thumbs up.

This kind of skill is really useful to Kang-hoo. The skill also misses far away with ease.

“You’re the kind of person who can take ten turns if you get one. When I got this buff skill, I thought of you first. What do you think? It’s so cool, right?”

“This is really awesome.”

“Once you’ve evaded confirmation, it takes some time for it to become active again. But it’s good enough.”

“Let’s keep using it. I need to think more about how to use it strategically.”

“call.”

From then on, Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae’s full-scale attack began.

I even checked out the new buff skill and my body was shaking. I couldn’t stand it.

* * *

After that, the initial attack proceeded without any particular variables.

Dungeon 13 is largely divided into areas 1 through 3.

The section corresponding to Zone 1 was not difficult. Since there were no large-scale battles in the first place, there was nothing complicated about it.

Thanks to this, Kang-hoo was able to raise his level to 243. He also gained a lot in terms of experience points.

As they neared the end of Area 1, Kang-hoo started to cry as the battle entered its clean-up phase.

“Dongjae, you. Your buff has improved. It seems like your proficiency work has gone well.”

“That’s right. I focused on raising my proficiency a lot. You’ve probably felt it a lot since you’ve recently gone up two levels.”

“Besides, the reverse buff usage was really good.”

“Are you okay?”

“It was perfect.”

Kang-hoo nodded.

Reverse buff.

This refers to the act of intentionally applying a buff to a monster.

If you listen to it without thinking, you might wonder why anyone would do something nice to a monster.

But the reality is different.

What if a monster that was running at a speed that was just right for it was suddenly given an unexpected acceleration buff?

The steps get tangled.

If you don’t fall, you’re lucky. If you’re unlucky, you might twist your foot and fall, breaking your head or face.

And you may miss the timing of the attack you had planned, or you may even end up being targeted.

That’s what happened to the monster that lost its life to Kang-hoo earlier.

Because the acceleration was suddenly applied, I had no time to dodge Kang-hoo’s attack, and my body was thrown forward and stabbed by the dagger.

Even damage from a dagger was considered fatal.

Park Dong-jae has no direct combat capabilities.

However, if you can use the buff creatively, it can be more effective than most combat units.

So Kang-hoo’s feeling was that Park Dong-jae’s joining was not like ‘1+1=2’, but more like ‘1+1=2.5’.

“By the way, Kang-hoo hyung.”

“huh?”

“I’m just asking this out of curiosity. How on earth do you keep adding skills, hyung?”

“That’s a trade secret.”

There are things that even Park Dong-jae cannot tell. It is the story of his constellations and his birth.

“Aside from everything else, the fact that every skill you use causes bleeding seems beyond the level of fraud… … .”

Thanks to the Soma constellation of greed, all of Kang-hoo’s skill attacks now had a bleeding effect.

The duration itself wasn’t long, but the fact that bleeding occurred was enough to make it sound like a scam.

It would have been even clearer to Park Dong-jae, who had many opportunities to observe the battlefield situation from the buffer’s perspective.

at that time.

Make sure there are no more monsters around.

Park Dong-jae, who was sure that the conquest of Area 1 was almost over, handed the water bottle he had prepared in advance to Kang-hoo.

It was a heartwarming sight of them taking care of each other, just like Kang-hoo had taken care of their water bottles on the plane earlier.

but.

“Brother. But how much do you know about Jang Si-hwan or Chae Gwan-hyeong of the Purification Guild?”

Park Dong-jae’s question, which followed naturally, was not warm. It was quite a sensitive question for Kang-hoo.
