Episode 276 Type-V (1)

The discussion didn’t take long.

Since they happened to have free time, both Emilia and Yu Qinghua agreed to Kang-hoo joining.

Takashiya was very welcome.

Because the situation would be fun even if only Kang-hoo and his two close friends joined in.

I felt so good that I even started cleaning my room, something I hadn’t done in weeks.

Before the exciting challenge, I wanted to clean up the space where I would control my clone! It was an expression of happiness.

* * *

Meanwhile, Kang-hoo, who entered the dungeon, fought a normal monster as a taster and explored the area.

After the battle.

After subduing the guy, the final conclusion was simple: he was a sub-compatible version of the Brood Queen.

In other words, even if they fought alone, it would be very difficult if two or three of them came together.

Anyway, thanks to the monster I fought in the exploration battle giving me the last hit in experience points, my level became 271.

Kang-hoo opened the status window for the first time in a long while for the purpose of checking. It was to check the status.

【Shin Gang-hu Lv. 271】

【Class: Assassin】

【Unique talent: Fairly good stamina / Very good body vision / Versatility】

【Strength 1263】【Agility 1439】

【Stamina 965】【Magic Power 31】

【Anti-Ma 660】【Matjip 834】

【* Dark Age 455】【* Divine Power 100】

“Matt’s house… … 166 left.”

There aren’t many thousand mats left.

Once you reach 1,000.

Due to system corrections, basic and skill attack damage received from hunters and monsters below level 100 is reduced by 90%.

The monsters that are called ‘trash mobs’ in the dungeon are of considerably low level.

So, usually, mobs would appear in groups of many to offset the disadvantage.

But when the damage exceeds 1,000, the guys’ attacks become almost impervious.

You don’t have to worry at all whether they appear in a swarm or as a single legion.

The horse is reduced by 90%, and when you add in the additional defensive abilities possessed as active or passive skills, it becomes almost non-viable.

Then, unless it’s a big monster, there’s no need to invest skills in small mobs.

You can approach them, hit them with whatever you can, and then cut off their neck. Or pierce their chest.

As the fighting style became very simple, achieving 1,000 matts was one of the important goals for Kang-hoo.

In fact, it was a really absurd goal to set as an assassin’s target.

Because there is an imbalance, such as a wizard raising strength over magic power, or a swordsman raising agility over strength.

However, for Kang-hoo, who is greedy for tanking against mobs in one-on-many battles, it was an absolutely necessary value.

“First, get the chest armor. Then, use the protection option of the chest armor you were wearing to try to get greedy and take on the middle boss.”

After finalizing the plan, Kang-hoo began to search busily for the place where the chest armor, which was part of the Fallen Set series, was located.

With the guidance structure close to GPS activated, finding the hidden spot was a breeze.

However, the location was unique.

Certainly, the route to get there was extremely complicated and had nothing to do with the dungeon’s main route.

This dungeon was a place that hunters had absolutely no reason to go to.

However, it was not like there were many monsters or places where there was a possibility of getting other rewards.

In short, it was a garbage area within the dungeon, so there was no reason to visit it.

Rather, there were steep slopes and cliffs here and there, so there was a possibility of losing one’s life due to unnecessary curiosity.

Kieeeek-.

Meanwhile, the fallen ghost that had been blown away in advance was diligently doing his duty.

I had given the order for it to return to me when a monster was detected in front, but there was still no response.

That means there were no monsters to be wary of around here, so we were moving at a faster pace.

‘It’s also a huge advantage to be able to obtain set items in the exact part you want without any problems.’

The structure for creating a monster that holds a set item is as follows.

Usually, monsters in a dungeon continue to be killed by hunters, and then the dungeon resets and stabilizes.

For a monster, ‘stabilization’ means becoming an entity that simply repeats the cycle of being born and dying without any variables.

However, monsters that are not caught for some reason will accumulate ‘variable values’ during the initialization process.

When this variable value exceeds a certain threshold, then it becomes an entity with a special reward.

Of course, this is not the case in all cases, and in 0.01% of cases, monsters with the maximum stack of variables would drop special items.

The monster that will obtain the Corrupted Series Breastplate today is the product of that probability.

It is extremely difficult to accumulate the variable values ​​to their maximum, and you also have to overcome the one in ten thousand probability.

So, like Kang-hoo, there was no one who could recognize the existence of the set items in advance and follow the flow of finding them.

‘Yes. Even when I was writing a novel with the concept of regression, I always emphasized the importance of future knowledge.’

Now, I remember my past life, when even my memories are fading away, and I was typing hard on the keyboard.

Even then, I thought about it while writing diligently or while reading it with enjoyment as a reader.

I wonder what a great advantage it is to have knowledge that others do not have and to be able to profit from it.

That’s exactly what he looked like right now.

Has it been about an hour since I entered the dungeon?

Although we passed some steep slopes and cliffs in the middle, we completed the journey without any problems.

Finally, I got close to where the GPS was pointing. The target was within 500m at most.

“hmm…….”

As I came out of the place where rocks and rotten trees were mixed in a jumble, I saw the enemy right away.

It was a monster that was wandering around the space alone out of nowhere, making you wonder how it got here.

[Type-V: Master of Dual Pistols]

The name is long.

If we were to abbreviate it, it would be V.

V was a humanoid gunner-type monster that used dual pistols and magic bullets.

Because he uses a magic bullet pistol that shoots by condensing magical power, he doesn’t need to change magazines.

In other words, since it was possible to fire in rapid succession almost infinitely, it was bound to be difficult for the opponent.

Because there is no time to change magazines. At best, the only gap is the time to gather magic power.

Considering the regular monsters we’ve faced so far, V is definitely a unique monster.

It wouldn’t be strange if the guy was given the title of middle boss or main boss.

Because V is classified as a normal monster. Nevertheless, it has a difficult composition to deal with.

‘Actually, it’s the default in the upper hunter world. It’s also a concept that doesn’t stand out.’

Knock knock. Knock knock.

Kang-hoo released both of his wrists.

Now, you will increasingly encounter these guys as regular monsters.

Just thinking about the dungeons you’ll be going to with Takashi right now, it’ll be a completely different picture from the lower dungeons where low-level monsters run rampant.

“If you convert it to a simple level, it would probably be around 550. There’s a dual-gun gunner monster like this in that area.”

Judging from the original setting, the level is estimated to be close to twice that of Kang-hoo.

It doesn’t look like it will be an easy battle.

Caddeuk.

Kang-hoo immediately chewed the Mad Solarium. Now, the remaining surplus was in the single digits, at 9.

【Hide】

【Wall of Innocence】

He moved while hiding, spreading out a wall of innocence.

From here on out, it was an open field with wide open views on all sides, so it was a burdensome space for both parties.

So I didn’t make the risky decision of blindly trusting in stealth. I had to anticipate that the enemy would detect my location.

As expected.

Tatang!

V’s twin pistols fired from both sides, striking Kang-hoo’s exact location.

Boom! Boom!

“also.”

The location of Kang-hoo, who blocked V’s magic bullet, was exposed.

I had hoped, but as expected, I couldn’t fool the guy’s eyes with solo hiding.

There may be a way to detect their location, perhaps using infrared detection or a special method unique to the monster.

Kang-hoo retreated all the way to the back where there was a tree, and then deployed one of his skills first from behind.

【The Curtain of Skill】

Here again I mixed the walls of concealment and innocence, and came out to a place where the view was clear.

“… … .”

This time, there was no response from V. It seemed like Kang-hoo’s location couldn’t be determined in this state.

Swish. Swish. Swish.

Taking advantage of that gap, I diligently covered my dagger in blood to use my poison skill.

Although it was a bit of a hassle to have to cut my fingers every time, it wasn’t particularly bothersome.

at that time.

Tantang! Tantang! Tantang! Tantang!

As V did a 360 degree rotation, he started firing bullets in all directions without any warning.

Fight! Fight!

As the bullet hit the wall of innocence, Kang-hoo’s location was revealed again.

“This is the correct way.”

Kang-hoo nodded.

Magic Bullet Barrage. It is also one of the core repertoires of all gunners who use magic bullets.

Assuming that it is supported by magical power, it is also the most certain method of restraint.

This is because responding like this makes it very difficult to approach the gunner without hiding or moving through space.

If you are not confident that you can completely defend against Matan, you cannot help but be passive in your approach.

If you respond incorrectly, it will be you, not the other person, who will end up with a hole in your forehead.

Besides, no matter how high a level of stealth you use, you can’t ‘avoid’ the magic bullet.

In some ways, it could be seen as the most convenient way to deal with assassins due to the gunner’s characteristics.

Turn up! Turn up!

Kang-hoo advanced with large strides. Of course, his front was perfectly defended by the Infinite Wall.

Taang! Taang!

V continued to pull the trigger while extending both arms forward in an exploratory manner.

Each time the gun fired, two bullets struck the wall of the fortress with precision.

‘To this extent.’

It’s worth accepting.

There are also situations where you can restore some of the durability of the wall by breathing magic into it while moving.

In addition, the durability level that was reduced was lower than expected, so it seemed like I could buy enough time.

However, since the guy can’t just use basic attacks, it seems like he’ll soon pull out a powerful skill.

“… … .”

Kang-hoo looked at the ground.

It is a soft dirt ground. The soil quality is useful in many ways in the current situation.

That’s why.

【acceleration】

【jump】

He linked skills to instantly close the straight-line distance between himself and V.

Judging from V’s response of not immediately adjusting his position even though the distance has become somewhat closer.

Kang-hoo judged that V had a skill that could create distance like Kang-hoo’s leap.

and.

“joy.”

V snorted.

At the same time, Kang-hoo has developed a skill that could be the biggest variable for V right now.

【breakdown】

The ground on which the guy was firmly standing with both feet. I was planning to bring about unexpected changes from above.

If you see the ground suddenly sinking, you can avoid it by jumping as high as you can.

If you avoid it in the same way and even restrain yourself, it’s a mid-level attack.

Rather, it is a situation where you can become an expert if you simply roll sideways, forwards, or backwards and avoid the danger zone.

In that situation.

“Yeah. I can’t stand grasshopper jumping.”

V chose the worst evasion within the category that Kang-hoo had expected.

An irresistible instinct for hunters or monsters with skills related to jumping or leaping!

It was the pattern of the so-called ‘jump bugs’, who could simply avoid it but never did so.
