Episode 283: Preparing to Return Home (1)

* * *

Everyone who saw the situation was shocked.

The magician Hunter also looked down during the battle with Ayane.

Ayane, who was trying to check on Kang-hoo out of concern,

And… … the same goes for the inspector who didn’t expect that his own body would be torn in half and he would die while holding a sword.

While all three were shocked, Kang-hoo was the only one whose expression did not change.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve fully charged.’

It was a room that almost brought back the dark ages.

At this point, I should have thought about avoiding it or hitting it diagonally.

But the inspector, who had no idea about the Black Moon Cham, came in, swinging his sword like a sword against a strong one.

That was the worst possible outcome.

As he was pushed back in the power struggle, his own body behind the sword became a sacrificial lamb.

If the inspector had any knowledge of Kang-hoo’s Black Moon Slash, he would have clearly had the ability to survive.

But ignorance soon became a fatal flaw, and it put an end to the prosecutor’s life.

Kang-hoo confirmed the stolen constellation information.

【Battlefield Chaser】

【When approaching a designated target, movement speed increases by 50% and skill attack damage increases by 25%.】

【Shepherd of the Wilderness】

【Increases divine power recovery speed by 25%. Gains an additional 15 divine power stat.】

‘It didn’t seem like he knew how to use any divine power skills… … Anyway, there are two constellations.’

Robbed of a useful constellation.

The Shepherd of the Wilderness is a constellation that will definitely be helpful to Kang-hoo, who will be utilizing divine power in the future.

The tracker of the battlefield was also a constellation that perfectly matched his concept as an assassin.

He thought he knew why the inspector kept trying to get close to him. It was because of the constellation effect.

‘It seems there is no need to use the constellation of the successor of the diagonal line yet.’

I tried to steal it if it seemed to have a useful skill, but there are no noticeable, mouth-watering skills.

Perhaps it would be something to consider later when dealing with hunters of a much higher level than these guys.

Meanwhile, in the meantime.

Taang! Taaang! Taang!

Ayane was engaged in combat with the wizard.

Ayane cleverly used the yellow circle that Kang-hoo had created, and also landed an effective hit on the magician’s shoulder.

Now this is the big deal.

Whatever picture they had in mind, it’s all broken!

Now all that remains is the death of the one who has become the thirteenth.

Kang-hoo looked out from inside the pit and smiled.

It was obviously impossible to stop Ayane from attacking the Burger Wizard who was rushing towards her with both swords at once.

* * *

After a while.

“Kaaaah… … Kaaaah… … Thud!”

Ayane spat the phlegm she had gathered onto the face of the dying wizard.

As if that wasn’t enough to appease his anger, he now gathered all his saliva and spat.

“Fight until you die, you punk.”

Thud! Thud thud! Thud!

Ayane stomped on the dead wizard’s face with her shoe.

Although it was humiliating, he felt no guilt at all since they were the ones who had tried to kill him in the first place.

Meanwhile, Kang-hoo was examining the constellations he had stolen from the wizard.

Two constellations from him too.

In this battle, the number of constellations that were subjugated to him reached a whopping five.

At this level, it is a decent profit, regardless of the level of business left behind.

Since Ayane was saved, he ended up being indebted to her, and he also took an item from the dead hunter.

【ascetic】

【Defense-related skill efficiency increases by 33%. Skill casting speed increases by 9%.】

‘So that’s why the wizard kept using the shield. I think it synergizes well with the Wall of Innocence, too?’

Kang-hoo is having a lot of fun applying his already solid stacking skills to the Wall of Innocents.

If you add the effect of the Ascetic Constellation to the Wall of Flawlessness, it seems like you can create an even stronger barrier.

If things are going well, the build-up happens like this.

If the Wall of Integrity had to be raised in a noisy manner with a shield, or if it had been a defensive skill with large movements, it would have been less useful.

The Invincible Wall, which can lightly cover the front by raising one arm like now, had good synergy with Kang-hoo.

But since it increases the effectiveness of such ‘hidden skills’ by 33%, I can’t help but feel good.

‘But this damn constellation… … .’

The problem was that the other constellation was stolen from the wizard along with the ascetic. It was a guy who was a pain in the asshole in a bad way.

【Murder Addict】

【Each time you kill a non-hunter, you gain 1 distributable stat. Up to 500.】

Isn’t this a constellation that encourages full-scale murder?

I felt a similar sense of disgust when I stole the Constellation of the Mad Murderer from Jo Gu-bin.

It was exactly like that right now.

This wizard probably killed many innocent civilians without even looking. There’s no way he’d refuse if it gave him stats.

‘Prayer… … No, that’s enough.’

Among the three dead hunters, Kang-hoo prayed for the souls of two of them and was about to get their stats, but held back.

Since the magic power was gradually increasing, I didn’t want to create unnecessary variables.

【Despicable Priest】

【When you perform a ritual to pray for the soul of a hunter you killed with your own hands, you will randomly receive 1 to 10 stat points as a bonus.

You can do this up to twice in 24 hours, and if you do it twice, 24 hours must pass before you can try again.】

The constellation that previously killed and robbed the fake bride in the open dungeon.

What if your luck turns strange and you pray for the soul of the deceased twice, and both times your magic stat explodes by 10?

The effects of the Age of Savagery will end that day.

Although I was tempted to farm other stats, I didn’t want to be greedy.

The Savage Age skill, which reduces mana usage by 50%, was a key essential for Kang-hoo.

‘There will be a use for it someday. If there is another opportunity to eat black and white fruit, then you can use it as a cut-off point.’

When Kang-hoo, after organizing his thoughts briefly, becomes excited about retrieving items from dead hunters.

“Kang-hoo, really! Really thank you!”

Ayane, who threw away the rifle that she cherished more than herself, was carried into Kang-hoo’s arms.

Ayane’s sweaty hair was swaying in front of her, and she smelled strongly of sweat, but I didn’t hate it.

This is probably a unique taste. Is it as Shin Kang-hoo, or as the original author…?

Kang-hoo liked the unique body odor that could only be felt from sweat.

Of course, this would be limited to people you like and are interested in, either rationally or as colleagues.

So, without any change in expression, he hugged Ayane tightly. The tips of her fingers that touched his back were trembling.

“I tried to take care of everything because I didn’t want to hurt you. I really didn’t think you would show up.”

“Thank goodness it’s not too late.”

“When I saw you, I knew what they meant by the prince charming I’d only seen in novels! It was such a cliche. I never thought I’d be the main character… … .”

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“It’s okay. I thought it was karma from the blood on my hands, so I tried to give up… … .”

Ayane, who was in Kang-hoo’s arms, shed hot tears. Then, she sobbed and continued speaking.

“Thank you so much for saving me. Really. Really… … Thank you so much.”

Kang-hoo answered with a sly smile.

“That looks like a completely different person from the one spitting phlegm in the face of that dead wizard just now?”

“That’s… … because he’s a guy who deserves to be killed!”

Ayane said as she looked at Kang-hoo with her eyes swollen shut.

She continued to sob and shake her body, indicating that she was having trouble controlling her emotions.

That’s probably it.

Even just before Kang-hoo showed up, I was on the verge of being surrounded and humiliated by the three of them.

If Kang-hoo had been just a little bit later, Ayane’s future would have been completely different. She would have been in a difficult situation.

“Take it easy. I just killed a worse guy by my standards. And you’re of use to me.”

“Kang-hoo. Do you know that?”

“uh?”

“I can tell you’re talking coldly on purpose to make me feel better.”

“Are you acting?”

“Yeah. The Kang-hoo I saw wasn’t that cold of a person. He pretends to be cold, but he’s actually a warm person.”

“What an outrageous interpretation, one that the parties involved find completely difficult to sympathize with.”

“It’s okay. No matter what you say, I’ll listen and interpret it well! Anyway… … Thank you.”

Ayane was in Kang-hoo’s arms for a long time.

Ayane’s heart, which was touching Kang-hoo’s chest, could be felt pounding continuously. It seemed like it hadn’t calmed down yet.

There is no need to rush since all three enemies have already been dealt with.

With the evening glow in the background, the two of them held each other quietly for a long time.

Although quite some time had passed since then, it was a special time for the two of them, as if everything had stopped.

Kang-hoo decided to take all the items taken from the three dead hunters.

Ayane had intended to do so from the beginning.

Although he was grateful for saving his life, he had no interest in the loot at all.

Kang-hoo planned to take only one of the necessary items and sell the rest to Lars.

There is no need for items related to magic power, and the rest of the items are of low level.

So I just replaced the anklet.

The existing 4th grade anklet, Ewha, only increases your Stamina and Resistance by 50.

【Demon – Anklet】

【Rating: 3rd grade】

【Anti-Ma +100】

【Matjip +100】

However, the newly acquired Demon Anklet raised each stat by 100, so it had the effect of raising each stat by 50.

Now, the remaining target value of 1,000 matts is 66. It has come to a point where it can be said to be right in front of us.

* * *

After finishing recovering the items.

Ayane contacted the German Hunter Police Department.

Since Ayane said she would personally handle the aftermath and related investigations, Kang-hoo went to the hotel first.

Although there was blood all over his body, no guard or staff member seemed to care.

When I told them Ayane’s name, who had made the reservation, they showed me to the room right away, and there was only one room reserved.

Before entering the room.

Kang-hoo bought a training suit to change into at a small clothing store inside the hotel.

Then I went into my room, took a shower with clean water, and lay down on the bed to rest.

Perhaps because I fought without eating Mad Solarium in the previous battle, I felt less tired than I expected.

If only the opponent’s level had been a little higher. And if only one of the inspectors hadn’t been subdued early in the battle.

Perhaps I should have chewed Mad Solarkyum a long time ago. I saved Mad Solarkyum because I didn’t.

My body feels tired, perhaps because I took a hot shower.

Kang-hoo, who was lying down on the sofa, thought about his future plans, leaving the bed that Ayane would use later as it was.

“I think things in Germany will be settled for now after I meet Lars tomorrow and dispose of the items… … .”

The German schedule is over.

And when I return home, I will spend time with Master Cheon-sal-no-su. He will also be with me.

Infernus Gun, who had agreed to receive a promise from Kang Bok-hwa, is in a situation where he can go to Busan as soon as he receives a call.

However, there was just one variable that Kang-hoo could not control.

“The problem is Yujin.”

It was Yuji Ishihara, the evil spirit who had been waiting for his appearance in Daejeon.

Armed conflict is not far away.
