Episode 243 Norway (4)

Actually, it wasn’t a special question.

Even if it’s not necessarily Park Dong-jae, there are many hunters who are curious about Jang Si-hwan or Chae Gwan-hyeong.

There are only two types of hunters who are not curious about named things.

Either you have no interest in what’s going on in the world, or you’re a named person. One of the two.

As the original author, it was Kang-hoo who knew too much about the two.

But since I couldn’t tell you the truth, I started talking with an excuse to get around it.

“In the past, when we were recruiting mercenaries from outside, I had the opportunity to participate as a reconnaissance team and watch them fight from afar.”

“Wow, really?”

“Yes. Jang Si-hwan is a black magician who knows how to manipulate space. Although his spatial ability isn’t his main skill, he’s ahead of Hosaka Kenji just with that ability.”

“Isn’t Kenji Hosaka almost an authority when it comes to space utilization?”

“Heh, it’s a feast of wit in front of Jang Si-hwan.”

Kang-hoo burst into laughter as he said. Compared to Hosaka Kenji, who was in the level 500s, Jang Si-hwan was overwhelmingly higher at level 800.

“Anything else? Other than the parts that were revealed on video.”

“In the case of black magic, there are a lot of instant attacks. Usually, the flow is like casting a skill and then a projectile flying in.”

“as soon as?”

“Uh. If you point your hand at a certain place, the fire will spread, the space will oxidize, collapse, and explode.”

“… … This is crazy.”

“It even has necromancy, I think I can tell you that much.”

After reciting it all, it occurred to me that Kang-hoo was a very difficult enemy.

Overall, this is the most difficult type of wizard to deal with.

Moreover, although he didn’t tell Park Dong-jae, Jang Si-hwan also had the ability to control the flow of mana around him.

So, it was possible to strategically draw mana only to oneself and create a favorable environment.

“How about the recruitment form?”

He wanted to open the door with the words, but he seemed to know it anyway.

“I’m good at short distances. My short blink is top-notch, so I’m really out of my mind.”

For that reason, it is a sword with excellent mobility and excellent variable creation.

Moreover, since I have been working with Jang Si-hwan for a long time, my chemistry with his spatial utilization skills was perfect.

“And for a swordsman, he has a lot of magic-related skills. It would be better to give him the title ‘Magic Swordsman’ so that there is no confusion in understanding his characteristics.”

“Wow… … Hyung, you must have looked at it really closely. They don’t show it that well in the Purification Guild video, right?”

“Usually, Jang Si-hwan’s spatial ability and short-distance movement are combined to show him doing acrobatics in the air.”

“Oh! I’ve seen a lot of that too. You mean you’ve seen a lot of different magic skills?”

“What, how did it come to this?”

Kang-hoo gave a rough explanation.

If we go into detail, there are two people who are endless. They are characters that were put into the original work to that extent.

Naturally, memories of not only the two, but also the remaining thirteen members of the star also come to mind.

‘Each and every one of them is powerful. As far as I know, the deeper I delve into it, the more I can feel it.’

Although Kang-hoo was not usually afraid, his body reacted differently to the thirteen stars.

Your body will flinch as if it were a learned fear.

Of course, if I had to fight, I was prepared to die and fight to the end.

And against some of these guys, I was at least confident that I wouldn’t die.

But what about winning? I’ve won thousands of times in my imagination, not in real life, but it’s just imagination.

“I think my brother could easily become a named person like those two. No, actually, he already is, right?”

“Enough, that’s nonsense.”

“Don’t you know, hyung? Your stake in the Black Network has been increasing significantly lately. I’m monitoring everything, so I’ll let you know any bad news in advance. Don’t worry.”

I’m also curious about the Black Network. What kind of conversations go on in it?

I thought it would be similar to the ‘Takipam’ that was drawn in relation to Takashi in the original work.

However, Takifam feels like a small, friendly group, while Black Network feels like a dark community of an unspecified number of people.

at that time.

“for a moment.”

Kang-hoo, who confirmed that he had reached the point where there was a route to the double dungeon, reached out and stopped Park Dong-jae.

The reason I came to dungeon number 13 was simply to gain profit through chance interception.

There was absolutely no need to go the old route. It would be a complete waste of effort in terms of value to do so.

“Huh? Why?”

There was no specific monster identified, but when Kang-hoo blocked his path, Park Dong-jae made a puzzled expression.

But soon I put my doubts aside and waited for Kang-hoo to continue speaking.

Because there is absolutely no case of Kang-hoo acting without reason. It is safe to say with confidence that there is 0% chance of that happening.

“I see something.”

Kang-hoo pointed to the entrance to the double dungeon in a cheeky manner.

Even if you stare at it intently, it is a location that you cannot see unless you maintain concentration.

It is similar to an imbalance point. It is a place where only a very small part functions differently from the natural order.

For example, a leaf that should sway from side to side in the wind is only swaying from side to side.

If there is no awareness itself, it is a form of distorted information that can be passed over as “that must be how it was originally.”

“Look at that flower. The flowers and grass around it are swaying in the wind, but it’s still, like a still image.”

“where?”

Park Dong-jae tilted his head.

Because there were so many flowers in the place Kang-hoo pointed to.

It felt like a difficult find-the-difference game because there were so many similar flowers.

Kang-hoo gently pulled Park Dong-jae, who was still slow to catch on, and guided him cleverly.

And when he got close enough to the location he had been checking, Park Dong-jae also immediately figured out the nature of that space.

“Wow! This… …! Isn’t this like a double dungeon? The space here is really rattling? Like a passageway?”

“I guess so.”

It’s quite natural to pretend not to know or to pretend to be discovering something for the first time.

Looking back, it is definitely not a place that attracts much attention as it is not a major travel route.

It’s easy to guess why so many hunters who passed by here before had to miss this space.

Well, it could be a correction of the original protagonist.

Could it be that the author’s omniscient reason is something that cannot be discovered for thousands or tens of thousands of reasons until the main character arrives?

Anyway, I was planning to be the first to touch the spoon on the table set for Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong.

“Let’s go in.”

“I can’t get through this without getting into it.”

Park Dong-jae’s heart was already as far across the passage as Kang-hoo’s.

I guess I don’t need to explain to the guy in detail how I found this place.

Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae entered right away. It was a dungeon within a dungeon, a double dungeon.

The environment has changed.

Before coming here, the dungeon landscape was generally a barren environment with rugged mountain paths and lots of rocks.

The interior of the double dungeon was an impressive environment with a dense forest and many trees. The air was really good.

“This makes my heart ache.”

Unlike Park Dong-jae, who is filled with emotions of confusion, excitement, anticipation, and worry.

Kang-hoo looked around with a calm expression. Park Dong-jae asked, perhaps sensing a sense of alienation.

“Aren’t you anxious, hyung?”

“I’ll just say that I’m looking into some more information around me that might help me when I’m feeling anxious. It’s not like I’m not anxious.”

“You’re strong-hearted, hyung.”

Kang-hoo laughed inwardly as he made up excuses for not being anxious.

This is a part where you can feel how much of an advantage and characteristic it is to have memories of the original work.

Choosing a travel route is simple.

As you move, you will constantly be presented with forks in the road, as if forcing you to make a choice.

You just need to choose the route that smells the most suspicious and blatant among them.

In other words, all routes that seem safe are dangerous routes. You have to completely twist your thinking.

“There are definitely scouts here, so don’t worry.”

Kieeeek!

Kang-hoo immediately summoned the fallen ghost.

If you say that it’s information he collected, it will somewhat reinforce the reason why he only chooses the right path with 100% probability.

Kang-hoo quickened his pace.

Although no one would enter the dungeon, I desperately wanted to get the chance as soon as possible.

* * *

An hour later.

Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae, who had safely completed the internal movement through a total of ten selections, were facing the monster.

I had never faced any other miscellaneous monsters in the middle, but then the middle boss monster appeared.

The name is Odap.

It was given the title ‘Fallen Tree Spirit’ as an adjective, and for good reason.

Starting from the thick roots on the ground where Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae are currently standing.

All the trees visible around were within Odap’s sphere of influence.

Some of them were Odap’s own body, while others were loyal servants who only followed Odap’s orders.

【Odap – Corrupted Tree Spirit】

【When removed, you can definitely raise level 5.】

“The compensation is crazy?”

Park Dong-jae’s mouth dropped open when he saw the specially activated guidance window related to Odap.

The higher the level, the greater the perceived benefit, but it is not a loss if you get it now.

Kang-hoo, who had found a way to keep Park Dong-jae safe in the original memories, spoke in a low voice.

“Dongjae.”

“huh.”

“I’m going to stick a dagger in a tree. Don’t ever come out of that tree, and just give me buff support.”

“Which tree?”

“here.”

Shhh! Bang!

The 5th-grade dagger, ‘Ecstasy of the Sky’, which Kang-hoo had fired with lightning speed, was embedded in the center of a tree trunk.

The only tree where Odap’s ‘good self’ functions. It is a body that still retains the purity it had before it fell into its current form.

Park Dong-jae moved quickly.

Why? How did you know? Questions like that were omitted. They were questions that could be skipped due to the trust in Kang-hoo.

“Go.”

Kang-hoo, who had confirmed that Park Dong-jae was safely surrounded by the tree of good self, moved.

Odap, who recognized the presence of the intruder, immediately began shaking several trees and targeting Kang-hoo.

Kookoo gugugu! Kook!

Indeed, here and there, tree trunks that had seemed to be stationary began to extend and fly fiercely.

It goes without saying that each and every stem was thick and fast, and many of them had sharp ends.

If you accidentally got pierced even once, it would have been the perfect situation for the tree trunks to be stabbed one after another all over your body.

Even though countless tree trunks were shaking, the one that Kang-hoo had guided Park Dong-jae to was intact.

It felt as if the tree trunk itself was resisting the external force, as if it were holding on to evil with its own strength.

While Park Dong-jae was refreshing Kang-hoo’s buff, he tilted his head at the peaceful place amidst the chaos.

“Future city… is it?”

The double dungeon is a space that even Kang-hoo, let alone himself, must have come across for the first time.

But how do you know of a safe haven using this tree?

It feels like I already knew the strategy before I came!

A picture unfolded that could never be explained without the word ‘future’. It sent shivers down my spine.
