Episode 264: Angel of the Battlefield (4)

Guaaaak!

A scream erupted as a thunderbolt struck the pit where the hybrids were neatly(?) piled up.

The electrocuted hybrids tangled and bit each other, causing a chain reaction of shocks.

These are crossbreeds that are neither alive nor dead, and thus have many rotten parts on their bodies.

For those guys, the continuous electric shock was a living hell that ruptured and burned the weak parts of their bodies.

A stench rose from inside the pit, but Kang-hoo’s expression did not change.

I was immune to most foul smells. The pungent smell of blood was so strong that it almost felt like a fragrance, even if I lied a little.

【Flame of Death】

Kang-hoo went one step further and set fire to the dark ages.

The hybrids caught in the undying dark flames quickly melted alive.

【Annihilation】

Additional options are included here.

Flames exploded from all directions, turning the hybrid’s body into a rag.

Because so many hybrids were stuck in such a small space, the explosion efficiency was also very good.

When a hybrid’s body explodes, the hybrids right next to it also take damage.

【Blood】

I added one more finishing touch.

Even in the midst of all that, there were bound to be some who survived. I had no intention of leaving even a single one of them alive.

Pfft… …! Pfft! Pfft!

That was the end of it.

None of the hybrids who were gifted with electricity, fire, and two explosions in succession survived.

【This is it… … . This is strategy and tactics. As expected, my insight was not wrong. Awesome, Contractor!】

The voice of the ecstatic, wilderness strategist was heard.

From the thrilling lure to the clean annihilation, I was impressed by the process that was accomplished without any unnecessary details.

【He plays three roles all by himself. I don’t know who he resembles to be so versatile.】

Then, the voice of the dimensional robber, who naturally places a spoon, is also heard.

One person, three roles. That’s right.

A provocation tank that lures and drives monsters, an area-of-effect magic dealer that pours out electricity, and even a special dealing of black magic.

Because it annihilated crossbreeds with three concepts.

I looked inside the pit just in case, but there wasn’t a single living hybrid.

Thanks to the experience points I gained from massacres, my level jumped to 263.

I didn’t realize it because the experience bar was stuck in a similar place, but it seems like the level changed twice and stopped.

Right then.

【The Angel of the Battlefield watches over your madness with pity.】

‘at las!’

The target reacts.

Kang-hoo’s trip to North Korea was a journey to summon the constellation ‘Angel of the Battlefield’ from beginning to end.

However, it would be a waste to wag your tail in excitement. Kang-hoo just nodded quietly.

Never extend your hand first unless the Angel of Battle himself extends his hand and asks for a contract.

Warm. Warm.

At just the right moment, a brood queen appeared.

Since even the angels of the battlefield are watching, it is a perfect situation to use as a stage to make an appeal.

This time, I was planning to eat the Gakshinhwan without any hesitation.

If you eat one of each of the Shinhwan and get an Angel of the Battlefield, it’s a huge deal with a lot of leftovers.

There was no reason to save.

and.

【acceleration】

Tadadadot!

Kang-hoo accelerated and raced towards the queen of the moor, chewing on the Gakshin-hwan with a “Crack” sound.

The dark and dreary world is transformed into a golden paradise, and is covered with colorful beauty.

The passage of time feels so slow that every moment can be broken down into tiny pieces.

The flow of thoughts accelerates and accelerates, unlike the perception of time.

The battle with the Queen of the Crow, which started with the doping of each ring, did not take as long as expected.

* * *

After a while.

Kang-hoo stored the gall bladder extracted from the corpse of the dead queen in a container.

With the added effect of each ring, it was easy to gain the upper hand in battle, just like when I first faced the Queen of the Crow.

So, even though there were numerous offensive and defensive battles in a short period of time, we were ultimately able to achieve victory.

“It’s true that you have tolerance. My prediction was right.”

Kang-hoo looked slightly regretful.

The first time I added Gakshinhwan to Mad Solarkyum.

At that time, it was clear that there was no aftershock even when the effects of Mad Solarkyum ended.

Because the change was so dramatic, I was worried that if I repeated the same combination of medications, I would develop a tolerance.

My hunch was not wrong.

The aftershock is coming.

Compared to when I hadn’t taken the Gakshinhwan at all, I felt lighter, but I was starting to feel a sense of weakness that I had never felt before.

【Absorbing life energy】

【Absorbs life from monsters or hunters to restore health or increase combat power.】

To replenish his stamina, Kang-hoo used life absorption on the corpse of the dead queen of the brood.

Absorbs life.

This is the ability of the ruthless glutton, the constellation that killed and robbed Jeon Jong-du, the former captain of the Osho mercenary group.

Since the battle usually ended before I could recover my stamina, I had no need to use life absorption.

So, although it had been a while since I had acquired it, this was actually the first time I had used the ability, and it was quite effective.

My stamina suddenly increased and my body felt energized, as if I had taken a tonic.

‘Unlike the normal heal skill, it feels like there’s some unrefined, turbid energy coming in, but it’s okay.’

Although the nature of the energy was different, the mechanism by which stamina was restored seemed to be the same.

at that time.

【The constellation ‘Mad Murderer’ provides you with 48 selectable stats when you meet special conditions.】

【However, the anti-horse and matt house stats provide 24, and the hidden stat provides 16.】

‘Do you treat crossbreeds like humans? They come out when you forget. They didn’t steal one or two constellations, so if you don’t pay attention, you’ll forget some of them.’

The worries of a full stomach make me laugh.

There are certainly many constellations.

Excluding the main constellations, the number of purely plundered constellations exceeds forty.

My first memory of robbery was when I robbed the skilled communicator constellation at the Cheongmyeong concentration camp… … .

We’ve come such a long way already.

If we just look at the number of constellations, it would be much more than the number of constellations that Chaegwanhyung possesses.

If you add up all the main constellations, it is close to the number of constellations that Jang Si-Hwan has.

Of course, the ranks of the constellations are different, and the abilities they are linked to vary greatly, so it’s not true that there are more of them.

However, Kang-hoo felt a deep sense of pride in the fact that he had been diligently utilizing the Dimension Robber’s abilities all this time.

‘Since I’ve set my goal at 1,000 mats, mats would be better. If I get 24, I’ll get 834.’

I immediately chose the matt house reward and raised my stats.

It felt good because it was like a bonus that appeared every once in a while when I had forgotten about it. Could it be called unearned income?

Anyway, even after recovering his stamina, he silently continued to subjugate the hybrids.

Conflicts with the brood queen were minimized, and only hybrids were selected and captured.

I avoided being surrounded by enemies and pushed them into dead ends, and continued to have fun with area-of-effect attacks, and my level rose to the end of level 265.

And finally, the long-awaited response came.

【The Angel of the Battlefield takes a very deep interest in you, who grants eternal rest to the hybrids.】

【I gaze upon you with the belief that true peace on the battlefield comes from the death of the wrongdoers.】

【The Angel of the Battlefield formally proposes a contract to you who is serious about exterminating hybrids. I cannot help but admire your outstanding abilities.】

‘Isn’t it a joke to give me a lift on a plane?’

The corners of the mouth go up.

Just because you catch a hybrid doesn’t mean an angel of war will appear.

You need to kill a lot, but you need to be good at utilizing skills, and above all, you need to have excellent crisis-overcoming abilities.

Kang-hoo was surrounded and in a precarious situation. He was shown escaping with the Wings of Corruption.

Everything was one well-organized production. The direction, the script, the acting. All of them are Shin Kang-hoo’s titles.

【What are you doing all of a sudden? You suddenly showed up and want to have a meal with me?】

This time, we heard the sharp reaction of the Dimension Robber.

At first I really thought she might be offended, but not anymore.

If he really wanted to discourage the contract, he would have told Kang-hoo outright. He should not sign the contract.

But she never did that.

Although he complained, he never abused his authority because Kang-hoo always made the final decision.

Kang-hoo believed that it was her unique way of expressing herself and showing respect.

I wish she would say some nice things to me sometimes, but given her personality, I don’t think that will happen very often.

It’s strange to see him frequently swearing at even the Dark Seeker or the Strategist of the Wilderness.

Anyway, once you’ve completed the contract with the Angel of the Battlefield, you can now try out the spirit training with peace of mind.

Because there is no constellation in the divine power line that I am more greedy about.

If only the Angel of the Battlefield was the main constellation, there would be no particular need to worry about the divine power.

“I will sign the contract.”

【The angel of the battlefield is truly rejoicing.】

【The contract is urgently approved by the Great Temple. The contract will proceed immediately.】

“You must be quick.”

Perhaps because of the strong reaction from the Dimension Robber, the Angel of the Battlefield seemed to be rushing to sign the contract.

It seemed that he thought that if he hesitated, Kang-hoo would cancel the contract or change his mind because of the dimensional robber.

As a result, the picture became that of the Dimensional Robber helping to push the contract forward. Was that intended…?

In this way, the contract for the main constellation was concluded immediately.

Kang-hoo was able to check the angel constellation privileges of the activated battlefield.

【First, you will immediately be granted 100 divine power stats, and the divine aura will comply with all conditions of the contractor.】

“It’s a coexistence of hidden stats that are impossible to coexist like water and oil. But I guess there won’t be any conflict.”

The first privilege meant that one could freely use divine powers.

Originally, the dark age and divine power were polar opposites and had the characteristic of being prone to conflict with each other.

The angel of the battlefield coordinates this so that the divine power does not interfere with Kang-hoo.

【Second, you are granted the ability to recover 1 divine power per minute.】

Like the Dark Seeker, he was granted the ability to recover hidden stats on his own.

It’s a valuable skill.

For other hunters.

Even if you obtain a hidden stat, there is no way to recover it, and the speed is extremely slow, so there are frequent strange phenomena where it seems like you don’t have a hidden stat even though you have it.

It’s like having a car but no oil. It ends up being relegated to being just for show.

【Third, when you defeat the Dark Age monster designated in the Hall of Radiance, you can choose one of the three rewards below.

Increased divine power.

Entrust one skill to the Hall of Radiance and borrow a divine skill.

Absolute brilliance acquisition.】

“This is the kill point.”

Kang-hoo’s eyes sparkled as he checked the list of three interesting rewards.

The third privilege was written as the biggest reason for wanting the Angel of the Battlefield, which would be of great benefit to oneself no matter what one chose.
