Episode 70 Encounter with Kang Dong-hyun (3)
* * *
“Do it right.”
“what?”
“Is this the only way you can be intimate with a girl you’ve met eyes with?”
“… … .”
“If you act like acting, you’ll get caught. If you act with sincerity, you won’t get caught.”
Kang-hoo and Yoon Sang-mi, who were kissing and entangled as one, were naturally heading to the 7th basement floor.
Contrary to expectations, the stairs leading to the 7th basement floor were built in a corner.
In fact, there are already quite a few men and women who have ‘first’ settled down around there and are having fun.
The only problem is that there is a separate surveillance system in place, right?
‘It’s a structure that reacts to mana.’
Kang-hoo recognized it right away.
The invisible barrier that meticulously covered the entrance to the 7th underground floor reacted to mana.
In other words, whether you hide or jump to get through here, you will definitely be detected.
To avoid detection, you must avoid the irregularly entangled barriers.
Fortunately, Kang-hoo could see the flow of mana.
After all, the barrier is a structure that revolves around the mana of the magic stone.
Looking at the form it had been created in, it definitely seemed like a barrier built by the hands of a skilled hunter.
It was obvious that a lot of money had been spent on it.
I wonder if there are that many craftsmen inside Eclipse.
“Oppa, your lips are thicker than I thought.”
“Are you uncomfortable?”
“No. People with thick lips are naturally more attractive. I don’t like men with thin lips.”
“You’re suffering because of me.”
“What about hardship? It’s just satisfying my own selfish desires. Hehe. How often do you get the chance to kiss a handsome guy?”
“You’re handsome… … .”
“If you’re like my brother, you’re handsome. Don’t be strangely humble. He’s handsome, after all.”
Yoon Sang-mi cheerfully filled the potentially awkward atmosphere with jokes and pranks.
Anyway, it was true that I was indebted to Yoon Sang-mi for today’s work.
Thanks to her help, I was able to avoid Kang Dong-hyun’s gaze and safely reached the 7th basement floor.
Since they were clearly acting like a man and woman who had made eye contact, no one looked at them strangely.
If I had been looking around and moving as if I was looking for somewhere, someone would have stuck to me by now.
Yoon Sang-mi said in a whisper.
“Are you sure you can get out?”
“There is a sure way to do that.”
“How?”
“There is a safe way out of the club. So just get in.”
“Is it true?”
“Should I tell a joke here?”
Yoon Sang-mi let out a sigh of relief at Kang-hoo’s answer.
It was good that Kang-hoo was helping him enter the dungeon he was trying to sneak into, but he was worried about coming out.
But since Kang-hoo said there was a sure way, it seemed like there was no need to worry anymore.
“Then let’s go now. Hades likes water today, so it looks like it’ll be fun to play in.”
“Thank you. I think this is enough. I will definitely pay you back later.”
“There’s no need to go any further. Just give me your number. That’s all I ask.”
“Is my number that expensive?”
“It’s expensive because you bought it expensively. Give it to me now. There’s no need to complain anymore.”
“good.”
Kang-hoo entered his number into Yoon Sang-mi’s smartphone.
She made the call, then checked that Kang-hoo’s smartphone was ringing, smiled, and turned off the screen.
“Let’s go to a dungeon together sometime. I discovered a nice dungeon a while ago.”
“A dungeon without an owner?”
“Yes, that’s right. I’ve already received permission from the Hunter Police Department and have been granted ownership.”
“I envy you.”
I was sincere.
Having your own dungeon is like having a training ground where you can challenge yourself to level up at any time.
It’s not easy to get a dungeon because most of them have their own owners, but it seems like Yoon Sang-mi got lucky.
“I’ll contact you soon. Just don’t block my number or anything.”
“okay.”
“Okay, I’ll go!”
“I owe you a lot.”
Before Kang-hoo could even finish waving, Yoon Sang-mi coolly left the scene down the stairs.
Her face was flushed red, but Kang-hoo couldn’t see it because the lighting was so dim.
‘Okay. Shall we go in now?’
Moved forward towards the barrier.
It’s pretty tight, but there’s a gap that you can pass through by turning your body to the side.
It is a gap that a hunter who cannot see through the flow of mana will never be able to pass through.

It was visible to Kang-hoo.
Where and how should I twist my body to avoid contact with this barrier?
Swish… … .
Kang-hoo naturally hid himself in the darkness. As always, he disappeared cleanly without a trace.
* * *
The flow was good.
We passed through the barrier safely.
We passed a space where all sorts of junk was piled up and mixed with dust, and a warehouse that smelled musty.
To begin with, there were no CCTVs as it was a private area, but Kang-hoo moved around in hiding.
Even if it seems safe, never let your guard down and always prepare for variables. That was Kang-hoo’s unchanging creed.
Somewhere on the 7th basement floor where we arrived, there was definitely an entrance to the dungeon that Benny had mentioned.
It is because I felt its strong energy even though it is still in a blind spot that cannot be seen with the eyes.
The dungeon’s energy, which seemed to constantly crave and indulge in mana, stretched far and wide.
however.
“You must have had a hard time getting here. Wouldn’t it be better to say hello while you’re at it?”
“… … ?”
“Mr. Intruder. I already know where you are.”
A familiar voice was heard.
The low-pitched voice that I remember clearly while talking on the phone after killing Cha So-hee was Kang Dong-hyun.
When Kang-hoo looked around, he saw that there was an internal elevator connected to this place.
Judging from what I couldn’t see from the outside, it seemed to be a secret elevator. It was a structure that could have easily existed.
“You should be drinking vodka upstairs, when did you come here? I didn’t know.”
Kang-hoo came out of hiding.
No matter what I do, whether I fight Kang Dong-hyun or not, I have to let go of my hiding place. I can’t hide my face.
Besides, I was already acquainted with Kang Dong-hyun. The path by which we got to know each other was a little different.
“Haha. I never thought I’d see Shin Kang-hoo here. How unexpected.”
The corners of Kang Dong-hyun’s mouth went up.
Kang-hoo, who had already grabbed the blood clot tightly, was ready to go into battle at any time.
There was also a plan to strategically use space movement depending on the situation. There was more than one option.
“I came here because I heard there was a really good view on the 7th basement floor.”
“Who told you that?”
“From a reliable source.”
Although Benny is not a reliable source, he deliberately made it sound plausible.
It was a petty ploy by Kang Dong-hyun to make someone suspect him of insider actions.
Of course, it’s not like it’s going to be particularly damaging.
“Shin Kang-hoo. I didn’t think you’d see me unless I forced myself to make room for you, but I didn’t know I’d end up seeing you like this.”
“Me too.”
“Hades is a club run by our Eclipse. The dungeon is also our property.”
“No one can go in anyway. Then can I go in?”
“As anyone may wish.”
“If it’s food that no one can eat, I thought it would be okay for those who can eat it to eat it and digest it.”
“When you talk logically, it starts to sound plausible.”
“Well, to command a hunting dog, you must have had to yell really hard. It’s not strange that they understand.”
“The comments are quite lively.”
“It’s not just the mouth that’s alive.”
I lowered my posture slightly.
Kang Dong-hyun is a physical hunter.
Boxing is his specialty.
So, from the beginning, the class classification was categorized as a fighter. It is a class as rare as a berserker.
Kang Dong-hyun is an opponent you can never win against in a head-on fight.
Even if Cha So-hee, who was in the level 250s, was able to subdue him by targeting his weakness and creating variables.
Kang Dong-hyun, who was well over level 500, was too much for Kang Hoo right now.
‘Instead, you can hold out and wait for an opportunity to get in.’
Anyway, there is no need to fight a life-or-death battle with Kang Dong-hyun here. I have no intention of doing so.
However, if you can buy some time and quickly infuse mana into the dungeon, the entrance will open quickly.
Cadd!
I just chewed on Mad Solarium.
If you want to pour infinite mana into the dungeon, you must eat Mad Solarium right now.
“There is no such thing as a free lunch, Shin Kang-hoo!”
Cookies, cookies, cookies!
Kang Dong-hyun quickly closed the distance with his booming voice.
His forearms, which looked ready to burst at any moment, seemed to hint at how threatening his blows would be.
Spaat!
Kang-hoo immediately laid the curtain of technique.
It was perfect for buying time, as absolute stealth was maintained within the radius of the curtain.
At the same time, Kang-hoo used all his strength and aimed most of the mana flowing out of his body at the dungeon.
If possible, I wanted to inject mana in a nearby location, but Kang Dong-hyun had already taken the key position.
“Oh? You’ve got a skill that you’ve never used before when you killed Sohee? Is it a skill you recently acquired?”
As Kang-hoo disappeared, Kang-dong-hyun made an interesting expression.
I put on the stealth detection goggles I took out of my pocket, but as expected, Kang-hoo was nowhere to be seen.
“It’s an absolute stealth skill. It’s a skill that goes really well with assassins. It’s cool. It goes really well with them!”
Kang Dong-hyun raised his thumb. He had enough skills to be relaxed.
Kang-hoo did not respond and continued to breathe mana into him.
As the body explosively sucked in the surrounding mana, the entire body was instantly overloaded.
However, thanks to eating Mad Solarium, I was able to postpone the settlement for the overload by 30 minutes.
【Unbreakable Commitment】
【As the battle time increases, strength increases proportionally and stamina is restored.】
‘You made a contract with that damn constellation.’
Among the constellation information of Kang Dong-hyun confirmed through scans, there was one impressive constellation.
If I remember correctly.
The indomitable spirit is a constellation of a level that easily ranks within the top 100 constellations.
It’s comparable to the Dimension Robber.
Isn’t this constellation benefit nonsense from the beginning?
The more you fight, the stronger you become and the more you heal? That’s a crazy benefit.
“Hmm. Interesting. A fair amount of mana went into the dungeon. Is this amount of mana easy?”
Kang Dong-hyun was amazed at the steady flow of mana being supplied to the dungeon.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t find Kang-hoo.
I wanted to see how well Kang-hoo could handle mana so that he could confidently come to this dungeon.
To sum it up, it was beyond my imagination.
He was able to supply a much larger amount of mana than he had thought, and in a short period of time.
It was a luxury unfit for an assassin who easily occupied the top 3 of the class and suffered from chronic mana shortage.
“This won’t work.”
His eyes wavered slightly.
I was afraid that if I was too relaxed, I would end up opening the door to Kang-hoo.
So, without further ado, I started to put strength into my clenched right fist.
You don’t even have to try to find out where Kang-hoo is.
This was because it had the power to shake the entire space in front of the dungeon with a powerful shockwave.
“f*ck.”
The moment Kang-hoo realized Kang Dong-hyun’s ignorant way of responding, his expression hardened.
From the beginning, Kang Dong-hyun had absolutely no intention of seeing through the hiding. He could just blow it away.
As expected, the strong guy responded differently.
