Episode 180: The Wind of God (2)
* * *
The Toushi guild members who were caught in the blood fire died instantly. Since they died by explosion, there was no reason to doubt their death.
As always, Kang-hoo thought the constellation would be stolen from the hunter.
And just as the robbery was in progress, a message suddenly came saying that the contract had been terminated.
The content was like this.
【The contract with ‘God’s Wind’ has been terminated. It is a contract that cannot be maintained with an unbound contractor.】
Information about the constellations and the winds of God that had been briefly added to the constellation window was fading away.
I quickly checked the contents.
【God’s Wind】
【Gives the glorious opportunity to become a member of the God Soldiers to the contractor who ends his life by self-destruction.】
‘What is this creepy explanation?’
His brow furrowed.
Death is not the end, but rather serves as a bridge to what comes next.
So it seemed like the Toushi guild member just now also chose to commit suicide without any hesitation.
Even Kang-hoo couldn’t guess what the new soldier they were talking about was. It was a setting that didn’t exist in the original work.
There are two main settings that do not appear in the original work.
It was either a setting that didn’t have much weight, so there was no need to build it. Or it was a setting related to the Demon King.
It’s one of two things.
The reason I didn’t create any settings related to the Demon King was too simple.
This is because the ending of the novel was right before the Demon King appeared. That’s why it ended up being the Demon King’s collaborator ending.
‘It’s more like the latter than the former. I never thought I’d see such a constellation here.’
Kang-hoo’s gaze deepened.
What was surprising was that the constellations watching Kang-hoo were also surprised, and the Great Disaster – Darkness spoke out for the first time in a while.
【Darkness lurks sinisterly behind light. I found a secret darkness not far away.】
‘Do you know about the wind of God?’
【I don’t know. I think he’s a different guy from me.】
Catastrophe – Darkness’s answer was concise. What on earth is this constellation that even the Great Temple doesn’t know?
Judging from the mention of suicide and new soldiers, it doesn’t seem like an ordinary constellation.
It feels like he would have made a name for himself in the Great Temple, but the Great Calamity – darkness seems to know nothing.
【It could be something outside the Great Temple. Or it could be a secret within the Great Temple.】
The Dimensional Robber added:
Perhaps because it was a story about a constellation that even the constellations themselves were not familiar with, Kang-hoo’s tension also increased.
It felt like I was facing an unknown truth. If I were to compare it to a novel, it felt like it was just a teaser, so it felt strange.
This is a plot twist that even the original author doesn’t know about.
Anyway, I managed to save my grandmother’s life and make the Ricou Guild do me a favor once again.
However, I was not in a very good mood because it felt like I had taken the constellation away and then lost it again.
of course.
“Brother. I’ll take care of this place first, so would you like to go back to your quarters? I’ll get the items back.”
Thanks to Ahn Young-ho’s careful intervention, there was a certain reward.
It seemed like he was going to personally give me the items he had retrieved from the dead Toushi Guild hunter.
That would seem to be enough for a reward. Or maybe even more.
“Yeah. It doesn’t seem like a situation where you can go out and eat comfortably. Well, let’s sort it out and see.”
“Yes, brother.”
“Good luck.”
I turned back to the hotel.
People took pictures and videos of Kang-hoo on their smartphones, but no one paid much attention to him.
The only skills I used in this battle were the Curtain of Finesse, Horizontal Movement, and Great Decapitation.
However, it seemed like Hunter Gram would be an issue for the time being.
I guess I’ll be lucky if I don’t get an embarrassing title like ‘Osaka Justice Man’.
* * *
On the way back to the hotel, Kang-hoo had some more conversation with the Great Calamity – Darkness, the Dimensional Robber.
First of all, the Great Calamity – Darkness asked us not to doubt ourselves.
The reason why he strongly appealed that he had no contact with God’s wind, even though he had no particular suspicions, was simple.
That was also because I didn’t want to be lumped together with Kang-hoo as a wholesaler.
At the same time, it was because I was still interested in Kang-hoo.
His gaze was still active, and among the three contractors he was watching, Kang-hoo was by far the most important.
However, because of the pride unique to the constellation, it is displeased that it has to be in the same position as other constellations.
Anyway, while he was hesitating, Kang-hoo had grown a lot, so the balance was tilted quite a bit.
For now, it was a disaster – a situation where darkness had to take good care of Kang-hoo’s feelings.
The Dimensional Robber was taken aback, saying that this was the first time his robbery had been rejected.
It was an unusual reaction for her, who was always calm and collected.
For now, Kang-hoo decided not to think too deeply about the parts for which he couldn’t get an answer.
Because if you keep thinking about it over and over again, it will only leave you with endless questions.
Rather, it only stimulates unnecessary anxiety. You cannot know what the constellation does not know.
This time, the tail of the wind of God has been stepped on, so there will be a time when we will see the body.
Then, you can go back and think about it again. Since you already know that there is a constellation called the Wind of God.
After wrapping up the conversation, we rested at the hotel and watched TV.

As usual, I turned on the Hunter channel. It was all in Japanese, but I had no trouble interpreting it.
– Hunter ‘Hosaka Kenji’ has been caught with the currently wanted criminal ‘Ishihara Yuji’.
Japan’s National Police Agency says the combination of the two hunters is a very concerning one.
In addition, he warned Kenji Hosaka to immediately stop cooperating with Yuji Ishihara.
“Two crazy guys met.”
Kang-hoo burst into laughter.
Kenji Hosaka is a Japanese named hunter known for his spatial utilization skills.
When Kang-hoo rescued Min-soo-hyeon.
– This is a truly incredible teleportation ability. Even Kenji Hosaka, who is famous for teleportation in Japan, would have difficulty teleporting this distance.
And the person that Lee Hyeon-seok mentioned was him.
Kenji’s long-distance teleportation skill is well over 10km.
Kang-hoo’s teleportation ability has limitations in its use, but Kenji can do it at any time as long as he has magic power.
A combination of Kenji’s spatial ability and Yuji’s extreme damage ability.
This is a combination I’ve seen a lot. It’s the combination of Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong. It’s the ability I saw in Hell of Judgement.
– The video taken yesterday was of two people entering downtown Osaka.
– The Ricou Guild immediately issued a warning statement against the two Hunters, demanding that they leave Osaka City immediately.
“This is going to be quite a headache.”
I can’t say that the timing of my visit to Japan was particularly optimal.
Of course, if you look at each of these things, there is nowhere to go. It is something that must be taken into account.
“There is no such thing as paradise in this f*cking world. I don’t know about hell.”
Kang-hoo, lying on the bed, muttered a familiar comment.
This is one of the things that Shin Kang-hoo said to Jang Si-hwan in the original work.
This is a world where that saying really fits. A time when power becomes law and weakness becomes sin.
“after.”
As soon as I let out a hot sigh, I fell asleep.
If you want to start busy farming in the dark ages starting tomorrow, recovering stamina is essential. You need to raise your condition.
* * *
A week passed since then.
The level is 188.
Every time I cleared a dungeon, my level went up by 2. This was because I cleared a total of five dungeons.
【Shin Gang-hu Lv. 188】
【Class: Assassin】
【Unique talent: Fairly good stamina / Very good body vision】
【Strength 760】【Agility 1015】
【Stamina 841】【Magic Power 21】
【Anti-Ma 510】【Matjip 660】
【* Dark Age 280】
The darkness has risen dramatically.
It went up from 130 to 280, which is a whopping 150 increase.
I predicted about 15 dark age farms in one location, and I hit double that goal. That was a significant overachievement!
“Solar Ki-um, Mad Solar Ki-um, you really used it without any desire. Is this what it feels like when your bones and muscles melt?”
Right in front of the dungeon exit, Kang-hoo was sprawled out, basking in the cold wind and cooling off.
The number of Solar Ki-ums has also decreased to 8, and the number of Mad Solar Ki-ums has also decreased to 10. It is time to buy more.
I saved each coin.
There were many times when I felt like I wanted to touch it.
Since it was too difficult for your precious body to receive additional supplies, I couldn’t use it. My hands were shaking.
Still, somehow the conquest was successful. This was also because the dungeon level itself was not very high to begin with.
“The Black Moon is big.”
This was Kang-hoo’s overall review.
If a normal hunter came and did the same thing, he would have raised the level by 30 in five places at most.
Hunting ghost monsters is essential for mass dark age farming, but you can’t kill them.
Kang-hoo was able to hunt ghost monsters by using the hidden skill Black Moon Slash, which utilizes the dark period.
The difference between having and not having the relevant skills was more than 5 times the expected value. It was a huge gap.
“I also stole two skills from the fifth dungeon where the middle boss and main boss were… … This should be enough.”
In the previous four dungeons without a middle boss or main boss, no additional skills were added.
However, the last dungeon had two bosses, and I was able to get a lot of skills from them.
【Lacrimal Night】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【On sunless nights, the recovery speed of the dark period doubles.】
The current recovery speed of Kang-hoo’s Dark Age is 1 per minute thanks to the Dark Seeker.
Thanks to Chil-ya, we can now expect 2 per minute. Even though it is based on the premise that it is night.
The Dark Ages were very important because natural recovery was impossible without the influence of the constellations as they are now.
【Hypocrisy】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【When attacked with divine power, some of the divine power is restored as dark energy.
However, attribute-less attacks are excluded.】
There was another interesting skill.
Perhaps it’s because all the undead monsters in the dungeon are dark age based monsters that they are specialized like this.
Someday, you will have to deal with monsters that wield divine powers, and you will also have to fight hunters.
Looking forward, it was a very good composition.
For example, it is very helpful when dealing with divine power-based hunters such as Saint Elizabeth of Salvation.
‘Right now, there’s only one Dark Age-based skill, Black Moon Slash, but there will be more in the future.’
Since it was similar to investing in promising blue chip stocks, Kang-hoo had high expectations.
Dark Age related skills are as powerful as their rarity.
In the dark age, damage is usually doubled for every 150 points up to 1,000 stats.
In other words, this time, Kang-hoo’s Black Moon Slash, which has increased by 150, can be expected to deal at least twice the damage compared to before.
That’s a conservative estimate, but if you consider various variables, it’s entirely possible for it to increase by 2.5 or 3 times.
“That damn Takashi.”
Since I was alone in the dungeon, all the cursing towards Takashi came out right away.
All week, while clearing the Undead dungeon, Kang-hoo struggled to find the habit of shadow walking.
But I couldn’t find it.
I had every move in my head, but I just couldn’t figure out where the problem was.
It is true that my movements and postures became cleaner thanks to that thought, but I still felt uneasy.
At this point, rather than pushing and pulling between Takashi and me, it was going to be a constant pulling.
Of course, that’s why I clenched my teeth and didn’t send Takashi even a single DM for a week.
Since I had made a deep appeal to be friends, I planned to wait until I got a call this time.
That’s just the guy’s personality.
If you get too close to the point where they feel like they’re being too close, they’ll lose interest and move away.
Yes, the expression ‘freak’ is exactly right. You definitely need the right recipe to cook the guy’s psychology.
