How far did you move?

When you reach a place where you have a clear view, but at the same time feel confident that there is nothing around you.

After getting off his bike, Kang-hoo started preparing to upgrade his corrupted beliefs.

As for the stones that will be used for future grinding, that is, for upgrading the God of War’s Play Ring… … I was thinking of finding a way to obtain them separately.

I thought about the priorities for a moment, but no matter what, if it was the same, it was right to invest in weapons.

Although it was difficult to collect the red stone, it was easy to absorb it into a weapon.

The ‘Corrupted Faith’ dagger, which swallowed three red stones as if it were blinded by a strong wind, was reborn as a first-class sword.

【Fallen Beliefs – Weapons】

【Rating: 1st grade】

【Strength +550】

【Agility +200】

【Stamina +100】

【Anti-Ma +200】

【Matjip +150】

First of all, the stats have definitely increased.

Strength increased by 200, agility increased by 200 as a completely new stat was added, and both magic and durability increased by 100.

【Black Tears – All skills’ effectiveness increases by 20%, and damage increases by 30%.】

【Distorted Awakening – By utilizing the Corrupted Belief of a weapon of the same series, you can absorb some of its stats.

A total of 7 absorptions are possible, and the higher the total stats of the weapon, the greater the absorption amount.

When you bring a corrupted belief to the weapon you wish to absorb, the distortion awakening is activated.】

Here, the coefficients related to Black Tears have increased from 10% to 20% for efficiency, and from 20% to 30% for damage.

In addition, the number of times distortion awakening is possible has been expanded from 5 to 7 times.

The total number of daggers fed so far is 1. There is still room to feed 6 more.

There was more added.

【Unification – When you collect all the set items except the dagger, you can merge the stats into a chest armor.】

“This is… … really good.”

The reason Kang-hoo gave the ‘unification’ option a high score was simple.

Because no hunter in the world can wear multiple items at once.

The same goes for rings. It’s true that you can wear them on all ten fingers, but you can’t wear two on the same finger.

So the top hunters were wondering how they could exchange their items for better grade items.

Since you cannot wear the same item twice, if you exchange the wrong item, it will actually be downgraded.

However, if you use the unification option, you can put the options of the Corrupted Set – Breastplate, 2 Rings, and Necklace – excluding the dagger into the Breastplate.

This will give you room to wear two more rings and a necklace, which will help you raise your stats even more.

It’s usually not beneficial.

It is rare to find an item that has an option that integrates like this. It is an option that will make anyone drool.

【You can evolve ‘Fallen Demon’ into ‘Emergency Fallen Demon’.

Emergency Corruptors can condense the Darkness scattered throughout the dungeon or battlefield and provide it to their master.

And, when necessary, it can transform into the ‘Wings of Corruption’, allowing aerial maneuvers. Up to 30 seconds.】

“The weapon is graduation.”

Kang-hoo made a satisfied expression.

The evolution of the fallen ghost was also a form that greatly benefited Kang-hoo.

It can retrieve and replenish scattered dark ages on your behalf, so it also acts as a dark age gas station(?).

Furthermore, although it uses dark energy, its appeal lies in the fact that it can perform aerial maneuvers for 30 seconds.

Currently, Kang-hoo’s only weakness is that he cannot maneuver in the air, but now he is able to do so.

With the upgrade of the stone, all kinds of increasing options have been added. With this, I can’t even think of any other weapon!

If you challenge for rank 0 based on the corrupted beliefs that have become rank 1, then it might be different.

It seemed unlikely that he would abandon his corrupted beliefs and switch to another first-class item.

Of course, there is no better dagger than a corrupted belief.

But unless you’re lucky, it’s likely to take quite some time until you find one.

“Matjip 810. 190 left until 1,000. From now on, all the necessary stones to collect will go to Matjip.”

One way or another, I feel like my desire for the red stone is growing.

How great would it be if rare materials rained down from the sky?

Unfortunately, such luck was not specifically designed in the original work.

I thought a lot about it in the realm of the unconscious, but I really regret leaving it out of the original work due to considerations of probability.

Gulp. Gulp.

I felt thirsty, so I took out the water bottle from my backpack and drank it. Perhaps because it was the water I drank after a fierce battle, it tasted much better than usual.

“Um… …Does your body remember?”

After drinking the cool water, a memory comes to mind. It is the memory of the Qingming concentration camp.

I never drank clean, cool water there.

Not only was there no clean water, but even if we did drink it, it was lukewarm water of unknown origin.

The guards jokingly said that they had put their own urine in a bucket… … .

Perhaps because of the longing for cool water I felt at that time, memories of the concentration camp came to mind as soon as I drank the water.

Even though quite some time has passed, it is an unpleasant memory that comes back to me little by little when I try to forget it.

“hmm.”

Suddenly this thought occurred to me.

Anyway, my relationship with Eclipse has come to an end. There is no turning back.

Then, what if we turn the Qingming concentration camp upside down?

There are still many beginner hunters out there suffering from Eclipse.

There are two reasons why we never thought of attacking the Qingming camp.

First, there are quite a few Eclipse-affiliated hunters in the Qingming Detention Center.

Secondly, there was no reason to attack by force.

But now it’s different.

The collapse of the Qingming camp would be significant because it would mean the collapse of the greatest symbol of the Eclipse.

Moreover, as power has been decreasing recently, income has also been decreasing!

If you get hit by a magic stone, it is fatal.

If Cheong-an or Heuk-sa-ja had moved here, the ownership of the magic stone mine itself could have been changed.

“I should ask Jeon Se-hyeok and Lee Ye-rin about this at the same time. I know the inside of the camp very well.”

This is the concentration camp from which the original Shin Gang-hu escaped after suffering for three whole years.

From the tunnels that were half-built to the emergency routes inside, there was nothing he didn’t know.

Once they entered the Qingming concentration camp, they were confident that they could thoroughly raid its interior.

“It’s also a break from my fucking past.”

Even though I escaped, the memories of being in the Qingming concentration camp still remain as a trauma.

The sight of a fellow prisoner who was fine today becoming a corpse in an incinerator tomorrow, reduced to a handful of ashes. It’s familiar.

If you were to ask who is the culprit behind all this tragedy, you could obviously say it is Kang Dong-hyun.

Touching the magic stone mine in the Cheongmyeong Prison Camp is like touching Kang Dong-hyun’s private safe.

Maybe we can drag Kang Dong-hyun directly into the battlefield. It’s a life-saving measure.

“That sounds fun.”

A bitter smile appears on his lips.

Is this the pleasure of being a bully? It was even more exhilarating because I was planning on bullying the bad guy.

From Kang-hoo’s perspective, who has nothing to lose but his ‘life’, all he has to do is take good care of himself.

Kang Dong-hyun and Eclipse, who have a lot to lose, are a different story. They will have to sacrifice a lot of blood.

* * *

Quite some time has passed since then.

Kang-hu was able to advance to Gaechon City in the northern part of South Pyongan Province without any significant skirmishes or clashes.

We also saw a few groups of Chinese hunters along the way, but we were not caught by them.

They appeared to be Chinese hunters who had probably come to explore or investigate North Korea, but their affiliation was unknown.

Around this time in the original.

The Purification Guild clears the Abyss, and then uses the Haeyoung Guild’s sword to clear out the Mingga Guild.

Attack the Haeyoung Guild, unite them, and first organize the domestic map.

After that, the place Jang Si-hwan turned his eyes to was none other than North Korea.

So, as we naturally advanced into North Korea, we drove out the forces that were illegally stationed there.

The most representative force was the Kashmar Guild, which was based in the east.

But now that the purification guild’s plans have been disrupted, North Korea is still a different world.

‘It will probably be like that in the future. The Abyss won’t even give the Purification Guild time to pay attention to North Korea.’

Rather than the Purification Guild, a picture could emerge of them expanding their power towards North Korea from the Abyss.

Then it would be interesting in its own way. The Abyss also has quite a few elite forces, just like the Purification Guild.

at that time.

Woohoo.

Kang-hoo, who had discovered something, slowed down and looked ahead.

Moving creatures.

The only moving objects that can be found in the stream are hybrids and brood queens.

‘also.’

A bustling crowd is visible.

From the very entrance to Gaecheon City, hybrids were already swarming.

It seemed like it wouldn’t be awkward at all to use the expression “half air, half hybrid.”

【You didn’t come here to die, did you? Your yin energy is so strong that it almost seems excessive. Did you come here to fill a lack?】

The Dimension Robber spoke in a cryptic tone.

It seems like this scenery is quite new and strange to see her, who has been quiet for so long, speaking out.

【Our talented contractor always has a plan. He must have come here with a plan, so why don’t you stop making strange mistakes?】

The strategist of the wilderness also speaks out. To cut to the chase, she got it right.

【You’re just talking to show off your shallow knowledge. Do you really think I said that sincerely?】

【What is it that fills the void? The contractor has a lot of yang energy, so he’s asking those monsters to supplement their yin energy?】

【Anyway, that’s all that’s seen by the eyes and ears of that lecherous bitch. Let’s not talk. It’s just lowering the status.】

【If you keep your mouth shut, the middle part will go away.】

Kang-hoo chuckled at the sound of the two constellations bickering.

It could have been nerve-racking, but it actually felt good because it helped me relax before the battle.

It was to the point where I thought the two of them had planned to do a skit on purpose.

As the Dimension Robber had pointed out, it was true that the hybrids had a strong negative energy. It was a kind of dark age.

So, in order to avoid revealing my identity to the guys, I had to use Commander’s Silence frequently.

Then, they will be treated as the same undead by simple aura detection, and they will not notice.

Kang-hoo drove his bike as close as he could.

Now the bike’s purpose as a means of transportation has been fulfilled. From now on, it is used only as a weapon.

In addition, the spare fuel tank carried in the back was no longer of any use because no additional fuel was added to it.

So I thought I’d use it to start a fire. If you light gasoline, it’ll burn for a long time.

‘There really are a lot of them. If we just get rid of the ones you see here, we’ll definitely be able to meet them.’

Kang-hoo smiled as he recalled the angel of the battlefield.

A constellation that already knows the recipe for summoning a dimension raider.

It is time to add a spoonful of real-life experience and a spoonful of acting to the game of Go-Stop and summon the high constellations.

All preparations are complete.
