Episode 254: Jeju Island Again (1)

* * *

Before boarding the flight to Jeju.

At the airport, Kang-hoo was receiving a call from Takashi.

I had hoped for it, but as expected, I heard the characteristic nasal sound of a voice modulator.

In the original, Takashi’s voice was mentioned only once.

【Takashi’s voice was a low-pitched voice that would be captivating to anyone who heard it.

But unfortunately, there was only one person in the world who could hear his voice properly, and that was himself.】

Even though I know I won’t be able to hear it, I’m more curious about Takashi’s original voice.

But unless the guy made a mistake, it seemed like he would never hear that voice again in his life.

– Shin Kang-hoo! How have you been?

“How have you been? How have you been lately? You said you were looking for a dungeon to go to together, but it seems like it’s taking quite a while.”

Kang-hoo secretly pressured Takashi. After all, it was Takashi who first requested to go to the dungeon.

– There are a lot of dungeons, but it takes a while to find the one that you and I will have a hard time going through. If we’re going to go anyway, isn’t it worth going through so much that it makes your head hurt?

“Wow, the character is clear.”

Kang-hoo laughed.

There are many places to go, but I’m saying that I’m choosing a really ‘tough’ place because I really want to roll properly.

When he heard Takashi’s story about how he was truly enjoying suffering, Kang-hoo couldn’t help but laugh.

– What have you been up to? Have you been to any dungeons?

In response to Takashi’s question, Kang-hoo told a story about a dungeon he had recently conquered with Park Dong-jae in Norway.

When I told him about the traffic light boss, Deseo, Takashi seemed very interested.

And he developed his own strategy and approach, which was almost identical to the way Kang-hoo had attacked.

If your tendencies are similar, your thoughts and direction will likely flow in that direction as well.

As the original author, I strongly agree with the theory of patterns in all things advocated by Takashi Kang.

I really enjoyed talking to him about patterns and giving each other feedback.

Meanwhile, Takashi did not forget to pass on the information he had collected to Kang-hoo.

– I haven’t seen Yuuji lately. He may have entered Korea, so be careful.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I really appreciate your attention to detail.”

– It’s not that I’m thinking of you specifically, but it’s because there are many aspects of me that think of Yuuji as X.

“Whatever the reason.”

– He’s the kind of guy who’ll finish someone off once he gets into it. It’s better to think that a fight is unavoidable.

“I know. I’m prepared for it. That’s why I attacked you when we first met.”

– They say he’s recovered, but he doesn’t seem to be the same as before. Should I tell you some of his weaknesses or analyzed patterns?

“No. I’ll think about it.”

– Are you okay?

“I hate food that is spoon-fed to me.”

Rather than rejecting Takashi’s offer, Kang-hoo had his own way of attacking Yuji.

If you want to appeal to Takashi more, it’s better not to show him a dependent side.

I didn’t want to show him anything that could be a disadvantage.

– Okay. Take care. I’ll contact you soon. Stay alert. I’ll pick you up somewhere serious.

“Don’t disappoint me.”

– See the fight? Okay. Just wait.

“I’ll wait for your call.”

During my short phone call with Takashi, I felt good just hearing his cheerful voice.

I envied Takashi, who was absorbed in the idea of ​​enjoying adventures like a fish in water or a child.

He’s probably enjoying it too.

Because the thirteen star companions are negative about intentionally suffering and adventuring in dungeons.

They get a thrill from the process of going quickly by following a shortcut, and are not at all interested in the process of finding the way.

This is also the reason why Takashi had no choice but to wander around Thirteen Stars in the original work.

Kang-hoo was digging into that part persistently.

Enjoying challenges and adventures was not acting, it was sincerity. Takashi must have felt that sincerity too.

After ending the call, I checked a message that Jeong Yu-ri had sent.

The content wasn’t anything particularly special, but he said that he was tired of just clearing dungeons these days.

With full support from K and Kang Bok-hwa, it seemed like they were all-in on each other’s growth.

I don’t know for sure, but I have a feeling that the level has increased a lot more than before.

‘By the way, if Yuji has finished entering the country, he won’t be going out without a second thought. Kang Dong-hyun will be managing him directly.’

Even though Yuuji was said to be a man of no fear, it didn’t seem like he would walk around with an empty mind.

Moreover, this is not his home ground, Japan, but Korea, and he is also a wanted person in Korea.

In that case, Kang Dong-hyun’s protection would be essential, and it was highly likely that Daejeon would be his area of ​​activity.

Unless you know exactly where you are, you won’t be forced to go outside.

In particular, I will never enter places with strict security, such as Seoul or Jeju Island.

So I contacted Lee Ye-rin and asked her to look into Eclipse’s trends.

I thought that if I followed the flow of Eclipse, I would naturally be able to find traces of Yuuji.

Yuji Ishihara, a berserker and assassin at the same time.

Yuuji, who was estimated to be at least level 500, was by no means an easy opponent.

Since this is expected to be a more difficult battle than the previous battle against the Queen of the Brood, thorough preparation is essential.

* * *

After meeting with Park Dong-jae at Jeju Airport, Kang-hu went to the gate where he had promised to meet the Gru Guild.

As I was moving, I saw the hunters from the Gru Guild and the police officers moving around busily, so I wondered what was going on.

From what I heard, it seemed like a murder had occurred in Jeju Island.

So, an emergency search warrant was issued throughout the city, and the Gru Guild also actively cooperated in arresting the wanted person.

“It certainly seems like the Gru Guild is serious about managing Jeju Island. Isn’t it?”

“It’s the foundation of the guild, so I won’t neglect it. Just like the Purification Guild is serious about protecting Seoul.”

“Yes, Hyung, you’re right. Just as the Purification Guild is Seoul, it’s also true that the Guru Guild is Jeju Island.”

“Did you rest well?”

“Uh. I got a call from the Myungga Guild, and they said they were going to take a break this time. They also wanted to train their debuff skills, so they did some personal training.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“What about your brother?”

“Well… … a lot has happened.”

Kang-hoo smiled as he recalled the incident with the thousand-year-old man.

The thousand-year-old man who arrived in China by now will probably be organizing and packing the things he needs.

at that time.

“Welcome! I’ve been waiting for you! Is the person next to Mr. Shin Kang-hoo Mr. Park Dong-jae?”

Master Oh Yu-jin of the Gru Guild welcomed the two people warmly.

Next to her were Oh Hye-jin and Ma Jin-ho. All three of the core executives of the Gru Guild had come out.

It was a composition that was hard to see unless you were a very special guest. Usually, only Ma Jin-ho appeared.

“Nice to meet you.”

“Hello! This is Park Dong-jae!”

Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae greeted them and shook hands.

Especially, Park Dong-jae, who was meeting for the first time, greeted each person politely and made sure to make eye contact.

“I’ll bring it myself. This way.”

Oh Yu-jin guided the two people to the vehicle she had prepared.

It seemed like I would go to the guild building first. This was because a dungeon briefing was needed.

* * *

A briefing about the dungeon we would be conquering today was held in a building owned by the Gru Guild that we had arrived at.

However, before the detailed briefing, Oh Yu-jin brought up a few things.

“First of all, there was that dungeon on the Norwegian side that you cleared this time, right? The Gratia Guild contacted us. They said that they were really surprised at how fast you cleared it.”

“Somehow, I ended up cutting off time sooner than I thought.”

However, since it was a double dungeon strategy rather than the basic route, the strategy was completed early.

From the guild’s perspective, who had no way of knowing the inside story, it seemed surprising that the attack was completed so quickly.

There was no need to go into the details of what had happened, so Kang-hoo ended his answer there.

Park Dong-jae, who was quick-witted, also answered with a smile. He knew very well that it was time to keep his mouth shut.

“Before the briefing, I have a suggestion I would like to make.”

“Go ahead.”

“How about Mr. Shin Kang-hoo signing an additional partnership agreement with our guild? Also, Mr. Park Dong-jae, how about signing a one-on-one partnership agreement with us?”

“For now, I’m fine.”

Kang-hoo immediately expressed his opinion.

This time, seeing the Gru Guild asking about the dungeon, Kang-hoo thought that things would be okay in the future.

The Gru Guild has many connections that you don’t have. They will be of great help in many ways.

In addition, the fact that the partnership agreement was limited to dungeons was definitely beneficial to Kang-hoo.

If you clear a dungeon, there are boss monsters, so skill theft is guaranteed.

Whether you respond to their requests for raids or request dungeons, Kang-hoo benefits no matter what you choose.

So there was absolutely no reason to reject the partnership agreement.

There is no need to get complicated, as the Guru Guild will handle the issues of connections and negotiations that Kang-hoo cannot resolve on his own.

In fact, it wouldn’t be strange to say that he is an ‘observer’ of the Grew Guild.

Except for the feature of mutual commissioning, the position was identical to that of an observer.

Park Dong-jae asked, “How surprised were you by the sudden partnership contract offer?”

“I think partnership contracts like this usually go through a testing process. This is so sudden.”

“You don’t need a separate test. You’re a hunter recommended by Shin Kang-hoo, right? You were automatically verified.”

“yes?”

“If Mr. Park Dong-jae is okay with it, then there will be no test.”

“oh…….”

“How are you?”

“I like it!”

After that.

The deal was quickly concluded.

Kang-hoo signed two additional partnership agreements with the Grew Guild.

From what I’ve heard, it seems like there are quite a few dungeons that the Gru Guild is having trouble clearing.

However, it seems that there is a part of him that feels hurt when reaching out to the Purification Guild or other forces.

From Kang-hoo’s perspective, the dungeon raid was a win-win situation, so he gladly accepted.

Park Dong-jae also did not miss this rare opportunity.

From his perspective as a buffer, the more dungeons he goes through, the more profitable it is.

And I wasn’t going to ask the buffer to do a hard bleeding shuttle, it was obvious what I wanted, a buff shuttle.

So, for Park Dong-jae, a partnership agreement that will allow him to continuously increase his opportunities to enter dungeons is a welcome one.

After finalizing the contract.

The briefing proceeded quickly.

It was a briefing that shared all the information acquired so far based on systematically organized content.

Kang-hu and Park Dong-jae meticulously organized and studied the content, and began drawing the initial drawings.

Park Dong-jae planned out how to use the buff, and Kang-hoo thought about options suitable for each situation.

Perhaps because they had been working together for quite some time, Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae had similar thoughts.

So, during the strategic discussion process, we reached a consensus without any major conflicts. The same was true for the three members of the Gru Guild.

There is no reason to delay the strategy.

As soon as the briefing was over, we started to raid the dungeon.

But there was something interesting.

Oh Yu-jin, Tank Dill Inspector.

Oh Hye-jin, Tank Dill-type prosecutor.

Marginho, tanking inspector.

Kang-hoo, the assassin.

Park Dong-jae, Buffer.

Anyone who looks at it can tell that it is a combination of close-quarters paint that reeks of sweat.

And the fact that the hunter with the highest damage at that moment is not the three people from the Gru Guild, but Kang-hoo himself!

It seemed like it would be a different dungeon raid from the usual format in many ways. It was a combination that was hard to find.
