one side.

Kang-hoo confirmed that Odap could see through all of Muyeong’s and Gyo’s curtains, including hiding.

Since it is a monster that clearly communicates with nature, it seems that its senses are a bit more developed.

However, I felt that every time the sound weakened, the attack speed slowed down and the reaction was delayed slightly.

That means it takes more time to find the presence. It’s not like it doesn’t work at all.

So, Kang-hoo, who was taking it easy, used the ‘Suppression’ option in the Sea of ​​Tranquility.

“Kuruk… … ?”

Then, Odap, who had no idea where Kang-hoo was, hit the distant spot with a tree trunk.

It felt more like I was hitting based on feeling rather than feeling something. Of course, it wasn’t going to work.

It wasn’t just Odap who missed Kang-hoo’s location. Park Dong-jae, who was observing the situation, was the same.

I just refreshed my buff so my skills aren’t messed up, but I can’t find Kang-hoo’s location.

‘Have your stealth abilities also been upgraded?’

Because Park Dong-jae had been diligently developing his sensual side, he was able to keep up with Kang-hoo’s position until just now.

But now I couldn’t even feel it.

I always followed the flow of mana that I felt from Kang-hoo, but I didn’t feel it at all.

Just as a person’s breath can be felt when they breathe, a Hunter’s mana cannot help but be felt.

There was no trace of Kang-hoo, as if he had control over the ending.

If there are no footprints left where they should be, then obviously you can’t track the direction.

at that time.

‘Okay.’

As the state of no attack continued for a long time, Kang-hoo, who saw that the confirmed evasion was activated, began to run.

Since the pattern analysis for Odap was also completed, there was no need to waste time. The sooner the match was concluded, the better.

Ss …

Kang-hoo followed the wind blowing from behind and increased his speed a little more.

Even though he had increased his speed considerably, Odap was unable to find Kang-hoo’s location.

but.

Bam!

When Kang-hoo deliberately stepped on a tree trunk that was irritating Odap’s nerves, Odap’s eyes widened in front of him.

And he swung the thickest tree trunk he could find at Kang-hoo.

It was intended.

The value of this exchange increases because you have to draw out your opponent’s most important cards in advance.

Gooooooo!

A thick tree trunk flew in all at once and hit Kang-hoo. No, I thought it hit him.

But then a problem arose.

Phew!

Even though he clearly aimed for Kang-hoo’s torso, the tree trunk missed the mark.

Kang-hoo, who had originally believed in evasion and had not paid any attention to the tree trunk, was already swinging his dagger.

Lightning too!

Kang-hoo’s dagger flew in with a loud noise and was stuck right above Odap’s eye. If it were a human, it would be the forehead.

“Kuaaaah!”

Odap screamed.

Meanwhile, Kang-hoo, who had narrowed the distance, jumped forward with all his might and stabbed the dagger into the same spot where the other one had been.

This time it was a beheading.

Push shu shu!

Body fluids spurted everywhere.

It was Odap’s blue liquid, no different from blood in humans.

Hurrruk!

Kang-hoo didn’t stop there, he took a step back and immediately deployed the Hwa-ryong-chang.

Phew!

Another spear of fire pierces his forehead.

Odap’s focus jumped around randomly. It was because he couldn’t keep his mind from becoming momentarily confused.

【Flame of Death】

Using the dark period, burn the flames of death hotly following the place where the Hwa-ryong-chang was embedded.

【Blood】

He dealt a fatal blow to Odap with his bloodshot face as the damage accumulated explosively beyond his control.

Pufufufu!

The explosion that occurred above the snow destroyed not only Odap’s eyes and nose, but also the entire core center inside them, including the brain.

All that remains are muscles that flutter reflexively.

As soon as he ended up in an activated state, Odap’s breath was cut off. It was a perfect instant death.

【Level has increased significantly to 248!】

As announced, the level went up by 5 at once.

A level cap like none I’ve ever experienced before, except when I was very low level.

It was really amazing to see the experience bar fill up five times in an instant. It’s a sight you don’t see very often.

【The constellation ‘The Keen Observer’ is interested in your unique destiny. It is judged that you are particularly blessed with good luck and coincidences.】

【The constellation ‘Mad Investor’ is impressed by your growth and readjusts the point at which you are expected to die from the original level 350 to 550.】

【Many constellations are showing deep interest in your progress, which still does not lose its growth momentum.】

‘The mad investor doesn’t adjust his target amount, and he predicts when he will die. Should I be thankful?’

Anyway, I feel quite good now that the constellations that have been quiet recently are responding one after another.

The more you receive attention from the constellations, the better. The more often you receive attention, the better. This means that they see a high potential for growth.

In the first place, if you are a hunter who can’t even see the cotyledon, the constellations won’t be tangled. Even if they are, they will only be bad constellations.

【The constellation ‘The Hypocrite of Darkness’ cautiously applauds you.】

‘Hmm? Is it resolved?’

I thought I had misread the name, but it turned out to be the black hypocrite, the younger brother of the black seeker.

After Go Kyung-ho’s death, the two met while robbing the constellation.

But since they both went into hiding, it was unclear what happened next, as they had issues that needed to be resolved.

Seeing the hypocrite react, it seems the matter has been settled in some way.

【Thank you for waiting, Contractor. The problem has been solved. I sincerely congratulate you on passing the test.】

Although it was a bit late for the congratulations, I still felt good to receive praise from the person who created the test.

‘Is it resolved well?’

Kang-hoo asked through ‘thought’.

If you have the will to talk, you can communicate with the constellations without having to speak out loud.

And then, he extended his hand to Park Dong-jae, who was walking towards him, and asked him to give him a moment.

Because I wanted to sort out the battle situation after finishing my conversation with the constellation.

I also had to decide which skills to steal from Odap. I was planning on going through them one by one.

【My brother lost consciousness for an unknown reason outside the Great Temple area, and after that, he changed as if he was possessed by something.】

‘If it’s outside the area of ​​the Great Temple… … .’

【That’s literally it. The constellation went out of its safe zone. It was a wrong choice born of misguided curiosity.】

‘okay.’

The story outside the Great Temple is not in the original. In the first place, there was no story that could be a variable on the constellation side.

But what I’m hearing now feels like a ‘variation’ that’s just right for becoming a variable.

【And then I made a contract with a hunter on my own, and hid in a place where he could never be found in the Great Temple.

The reason I asked you to kill the contractor is because if the contract is terminated or renewed, you will be forcibly summoned to the central square of the Great Temple.】

‘That was my test.’

【Even if it hadn’t been my brother’s case, the test would have been about something similar. There’s no need to be upset.

It will probably take some time for my brother to regain his lost memories. For now, this is all I can tell you.】

‘Thank you. You didn’t have to tell me.’

【You have to be polite. Oh, now that my brother’s mental restraint has been lifted, there may be an additional constellation effect. Let’s check it out.】

As the seeker said, I checked the information related to the constellation of the Pure Black Hypocrite, and found that one was added.

The existing content related to Gwanghwamun remains the same.

【The abilities of the Guardian Constellation of the Dark Sanctuary are doubled as the owner of that constellation.】

‘Oh.’

It seems that the relationship between the dark hypocrite and the guardian deity of the dark sanctuary was a master-servant relationship.

Thanks to you.

【Guardian of the Dark Sanctuary】

【Grants the ability to convert 25 Magic Power into Dark Age 2. However, Dark Age 2 can be created in 1 minute.】

All the numbers that were previously written as 1 changed to 2. This was unexpected good news for Kang-hoo.

I felt good because it felt like I got a bonus since I got a reward that I didn’t have because of the time difference.

However, the story about the area outside the Great Temple kept bothering me. What else was hidden there?

How far has this damn ‘unconsciousness’ extended its octopus arms?

As much as I have the original sin of ‘spreading bait’ in the original work, I was also concerned about the unconsciousness that was not easily predicted.

It seemed like I had to search for more clues and piece together a plausible story puzzle.

since.

Kang-hoo chose one of the most useful skills from Odap and stole it.

Because it was originally a tree monster that had a fighting style that attacked by utilizing the trees connected to it.

There were no skills used in combat, so the skills stolen were closer to non-combat skills.

【Communication – Plants】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】

【You can use this skill to determine whether plants are friendly or unfriendly to you by their colors.

A plant that is proven to be definitely friendly will never attack you.】

When I used the Sympathy skill to look at the dead Odap’s appearance, a red line was clearly visible along the border.

Even after death, it seems that the hostile tendencies that remained during life do not immediately disappear.

On the other hand, the tree that allowed Park Dong-jae to take refuge safely had a blue outline. It was easy to distinguish.

There are more plant monsters with intelligence and a tendency to target hunters than you might think.

Although it was a skill limited to plant-related communication, it seemed like it would be used quite a lot in the future.

* * *

Around that time.

K was drinking soju in broad daylight for the first time in a long while with a thousand-year-old man.

Perhaps because the two of them were known as heavy drinkers, their expressions didn’t change even though they had already drank more than ten bottles of soju.

When we put away the soju bottles, we would just think, “They’re having a nice lunch together,” and move on.

The thousand-year-old man asked.

“Are you doing well with Mrs. Kang?”

“Of course. If you don’t do well, you’ll end up trapped. Haha.”

“Yeah. That’s the right way to live. I’m so glad I didn’t marry that fucking bitch.”

“Brother, please don’t say that. At least she was a woman I loved at one time.”

“Love? What love! She was a witch, a witch!”

“The spirits, stop talking like that. It’s all in the past anyway.”

“Well, I guess I spoke nonsense.”

“By the way, brother. Have you thought about the disciple thing I told you about before?”

K got lucky.

Although K is the type of person who doesn’t usually act like a brat, he really wanted to give Kang-hoo to the old man.

A combination of a skilled teacher and student. This is because it is a combination that is expected to produce great results.

Even though he was a thousand-year-old man who had been negative when we brought it up a few times before.

As K kept asking me to check his intentions, I felt more curious than resentful.

Because of K’s cautious personality, he would never introduce a guy like that. The trust was certain.

“Is this the guy you want to recommend so badly?”

“Yes, the cotyledon is definitely there.”

“What do you know about assassins? Of all the ones I’ve taken in so far, there hasn’t been a single one with guts. And you want me to fool you again?”

“When you see it, you will think differently.”

“Shin Kang-hoo. I also found out because you kept talking until my mouth was dry. Should I tell you the conclusion first?”

“Then that’s good.”

“He is not an assassin.”

The friendly conversation between the two suddenly froze over. For a long time, a chill hung between the two.
