Episode 86 Jeon Jong-du (1)
* * *
The effects of the cool fight with Bezumiye were immediately apparent.
【The entire constellation of ‘Warm Waves’ applauds you.】
【They use the holy power they have gathered to support you with a significant buff.】
【Recover 1% of health per 10 seconds.】
‘Oh.’
The first to react was the Warm Wave, a gathering of moderate constellations.
I gave a lot of support during the last constellation test, but this time I gave support in the form of a different type of buff.
Recover 1% of health every 10 seconds.
It is by no means a small amount.
This is also a huge help if you are lacking in recovery tools.
Moreover, since it continues to be applied even while you sleep, it is especially effective when combined with sleep.
It would not be surprising if we were to say that most of our physical strength is restored when we wake up.
【Catastrophe – I was deeply impressed by the perfect death that darkness brought to Bezumiye.】
【I would rate your potential as being much higher than you thought.】
‘Of course. Of course it should be like that.’
Catastrophe – With the praise of darkness added, the strength in my shoulders grew.
The Wilderness Strategist also made Kang-hoo feel better with similar praise.
However, the Dimension Robber, who would normally have been unable to hold back and would have said something, was strangely quiet.
Are you jealous?
Or maybe he’s preparing something else? The silence made me think of something else.
“I cut off the Bezumiye who escaped through the side door! Push harder! You can try the main door too!”
Meanwhile, Kim Soo-kyung, who had confirmed that Kang-hoo had subdued Bezumiye splendidly, gave a more aggressive order.
He considered diverting some of his power to the side door through which Kang-hoo had broken through, but quickly gave up on the idea.
Because the frontal fighting was more intense than expected.
That meant that the side gate defenses were barely functioning, as enemy forces were concentrated at the main gate.
In this situation, if the core power was pulled out to the side door, there was a high possibility that that side would be focused on for no reason.
Kim Soo-kyung believed in Kang-hoo’s ability to subdue Bejumiye one-on-one, and planned to entrust him with the side door route.
No matter what situation occurred inside, Kang-hoo seemed like he could respond skillfully.
Right then.
“It’s a trap!”
One of the members of Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group shouted urgently as he tried to approach deep inside.
Kang-hu, who was about to enter through the side door, also turned his gaze at the voice.
The presence of a trap means an explosion is imminent. Can the victims be prevented?
Jiiing!
At that moment, Kim Soo-kyung, who had moved to the very front, stretched both hands into the air and displayed her skill.
Kang-hoo immediately deployed a protective barrier to withstand the aftershock that would flow out of the side door.
and.
Kookwakwakwakwang!
The trap exploded.
The firepower was considerable.
With this level of firepower, a hunter exposed at close range will not be able to avoid injury.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
But the huge, long defensive wall that Kim Soo-kyung had put up was able to completely absorb the blast.
Victims? None.
There weren’t even any injured mercenaries. The trap explosion was prevented cleanly.
‘I want that.’
Kang-hoo’s eyes lit up.
I also thought that Kim Soo-kyung wasn’t named for nothing. She is a hunter who specializes in defense.
Maybe if I do a one-on-one with Kim Soo-kyung.
Even though Kim Soo-kyung couldn’t kill him, he had a strong defensive ability, so he thought he would never die.
Taang! Taang!
Meanwhile, gunshots that had not been heard before began to be heard inside the abandoned factory.
Judging by the different gunshots, there seemed to be at least two Matan snipers.
“Be careful not to get sniped! And… … .”
Kim Soo-kyung quickly gave orders to her subordinates and turned her head to make an additional request to Kang-hoo.
But Kang-hoo was already out of sight, having entered through the side door.
‘That’s fast.’
Judge the situation for yourself.
It feels like you can empathize with the situation from the leader’s perspective and quickly find what you need to do.
That feeling permeated Kang-hoo. Even without him having to ask for anything, Kang-hoo already knew.
After a while, Kim Soo-kyung noticed a few areas that could be seen from the main entrance.
It is a blind spot for the Osho mercenary group guarding the abandoned factory.
Kang-hoo had already gone up to the second floor and was moving along a path where light did not reach well.
The target he was aiming for was the Matan sniper positioned on the second floor.
The advantage of the Matan sniper is that he can unilaterally take the high point and target the opponent.
The downside, however, is that you have to let go of your focus on your position in order to focus on sniping.

This is because, in the process of ‘securing’ a position, the possibility of exposing oneself is assessed as low.
Since you are confident that it is relatively safe, you use it as your own sniping point. That is your blind spot.
‘That’s really fast.’
Kim Soo-kyung saw that Kang-hoo’s position, which seemed to have just entered the entrance of the second floor, had changed in an instant.
It was clear that he had leap and acceleration skills.
Having the skill itself isn’t strange, but considering Kang-hoo’s level, it was extremely strange.
No matter how calmly I thought about it, Kang-hoo’s skill set and firepower were too far apart from his level.
In fact, it feels like the word ‘too much’ isn’t enough to express it. It would be more accurate to say it doesn’t make sense.
at that time.
Phew. Phew.
There were exactly two attacks.
And then, with red blood gushing from the back of their necks, the two snipers fell from the second floor.
It was a clean takedown.
The two snipers, who were completely unaware of Kang-hoo’s existence, lost their lives without being able to do anything.
A situation where Kang-hoo completely hid his presence and appearance by adding a curtain of technique to his Mu-yeong skill.
The sniper’s blind spot, which was focused on sniping, was also hit, and the two died screaming.
【Kill the target and steal the contract with the ‘Lonely Meditator’.】
【Kill the target and steal the contract with the ‘Lazy Genius’.】
‘The income is quite good.’
Kang-hoo looked satisfied.
The Solitary Meditator was a constellation that provided a buff that increased mental focus by 10%.
Increased mental focus means increased skill casting speed.
Although it was not enough to make a dramatic impression, it clearly had the advantage of reducing the absolute time required.
Lazy Genius was a constellation that provided a buff that doubled mana regeneration.
Considering the synergy with congenital mana hypersensitivity, it was like giving wings to a running horse.
In fact, this was the reason why Kang-hoo aimed for the two snipers as soon as he entered the abandoned factory.
If they are enemies and must be killed anyway, then stealing useful constellations is the most important thing.
Whirlwind! Phukk!
A practice dagger fired with a lightning bolt after a delay pierced the back of the head of an Osho mercenary on the first floor.
At the same time, when the body of the sniper who had fallen to the first floor appeared before their eyes, the Osho mercenaries also began to panic.
It occurred to me that the area where the sniper was was no longer a safe zone.
The air inside the abandoned factory suddenly changed, perhaps because the sense of anxiety had suddenly increased.
“Push it!”
Kim Soo-kyung read the flow like a ghost and ordered the mercenaries to be more aggressive.
In addition, the momentum was clearly reversed when two teams that joined late broke through the back route.
‘What on earth is this guy Jeon Jong-du doing?’
However, Kang-hoo was curious about the whereabouts of Jeon Jong-du, who had not been seen even though the situation was going this way.
Even though the overall atmosphere had changed, the Osho mercenary group still maintained its competitive edge.
It wasn’t like Jeon Jong-du had just run away. If he had, Kim Soo-kyung would have been informed.
This is because they anticipated Jeon Jong-du’s escape and placed sentries on all routes around the abandoned factory.
Since Jeon Jong-du was not an assassin like Kang-hoo, he could not escape without leaving a trace.
Unless you ran away.
Even if it is a battle of wits, it is strange that Jeon Jong-du’s appearance is delayed in this place where the situation can change at any time.
‘There is only one reason for this.’
There was something to ponder.
The reason why you have no choice but to not go to the battlefield even in urgent situations.
This is when time is absolutely necessary to bring combat power to its maximum.
It’s also one of the many settings that came out of the original work. To borrow a martial arts expression, it’s like the Absorption Method?
If Jeon Jong-du is a berserker who gains power from the flesh of hunters or monsters, then the prediction is correct.
In that case, they must be gathering strength to respond to the unexpected attack by Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group.
There is a high possibility that somewhere inside the abandoned factory, there is a space where Jeon Jong-du could be hiding.
I looked at it closely.
The sooner you find it, the better.
The Berserker series often displays powers that far surpass the level or combat power known to the public.
That is the strength and weakness of the light warrior class. Overall, there are many unpredictable aspects.
There is a need to reduce variables.
‘It’s visible.’
At that moment, a faint light was visible between the spaces where clutter and furniture were piled up in the corner of the second floor.
At first glance, it was a location that was difficult to detect as it was blended in with the surrounding lights.
But when I looked calmly from a place free from enemy attacks, I saw a small gap.
Kookwakwakwang! Kookwakwakwang!
“Ugh.”
The trap keeps being triggered.
As the defense line built by the Osho mercenaries was pushed back, the traps were reacting to the Kim Soo-kyung mercenary group.
It’s a flow that intentionally drags out time. It’s clear that it’s to buy time for Jeon Jong-du.
“… … .”
Kang-hoo again used the curtain of skill and went into hiding without being noticed by anyone.
As I quickly approached the gap, a quiet silence flowed as if there was nothing inside.
The lights were dim though.
There was no sign of life at all. Not even a hint of warmth was emanating.
but.
‘I knew it.’
An invisible, transparent barrier was tightly constructed.
I don’t know what form the reaction took, but it was most likely an offensive barrier to protect against intruders.
It is a method of condensing mana to cause an explosion, or generating high heat to cause burns.
Even though the maintenance costs must have been considerable, it was clear that it was an important place to build one in this space.
Kook.
Kang-hoo held the blood clot a little shorter.
In the event of a battle, it was to quickly attack Jeon Jong-du. The route had to be as short as possible.
‘This is my first time fighting a real fighter against a light warrior.’
Although the fight with Jo Young-jae before was his first battle with a light warrior hunter, it was ambiguous as a first fight.
This is because, compared to Jeon Jong-du, the guy was a hunter whose skills were nothing more than a drop in the bucket, or even dirt on his toenails.
On the other hand, Jeon Jong-du is a light warrior and is specialized in catching abilities.
He was a ‘monster’ with a size that was enough to make Bezumiye, who had fought before, go away and with ridiculously thick arms.
So I couldn’t help but be nervous.
For Jeon Jong-du, once he is caught, there is no next time.
There is a set ending.
I’m talking about death where you are folded like a flip phone, either on your waist or neck, and you can’t unfold it again.
In a word, it means farewell to this world.
