Same time.
“Activate the mana emitter!”
“It’s up and running!”
“Put your goggles on!”
“Detected! Looks like a stealthy monster!”
“Let’s kick it out!”
A three-person group consisting of Kim Mi-so, Shin Tae-ri, and Jo Jin-ho were also fighting the shadow chasers.
Shin Tae-ri was injured in the surprise attack on his left shoulder, but it was not serious.
The pursuer’s stealth ability was so excellent that even the sensitive Shin Tae-ri was unaware of its existence.
The mana emitter that Jo Jin-ho instructed Kim Mi-so to operate was a machine that continuously poured out highly concentrated mana in all directions.
If there is a hidden entity that is an obstacle, the flow of mana is blocked at that location.
To do this, you had to wear special goggles that could visually check the flow of mana.
The problem is that the emitter uses a huge amount of mana because it has to shoot highly concentrated mana.
The material required for the process that takes just 5 minutes to operate is one high-grade magic stone.
That’s 100 million won disappearing every 5 minutes. So it wasn’t a device that could be used with peace of mind at any time.
This is something that only wealthy guilds like Eden Guild can do. For regular guilds or ordinary players, it was something they couldn’t even think of using.
Kew! Keuk!
Once the location was determined, it wasn’t difficult. It was natural considering the level of Shin Tae-ri and Jo Jin-ho.
However, Kim Mi-so’s expression gradually darkened, unlike the situation that was being sorted out.
“I don’t think the mana emitter was given to Oppa Sang-Hyeon… … .”
The Tracker couldn’t have only appeared here. Similar monsters are distributed throughout most routes.
Each team was given a mana emitter, but Sang-Hyeon was not given one because it was an external guild.
“I! I’ll go see Sang-Hyeon for a bit! I think it might be dangerous over there!”
Kim Mi-so took a small mana emitter and turned around.
This was also a money-eating hippopotamus that Kim Mi-so had purchased separately for personal use, costing 1 intermediate magic stone every 20 seconds, or 10 million won.
“Okay, check the status. Be careful at the intersection!”
“yes!”
Jo Jin-ho gestured to Kim Mi-so to leave quickly.
Anyway, the situation here has been sorted out. It seemed necessary to check Sang-Hyeon’s condition.
* * *
“I told you, it’s no use moving around flashily. I can see all your movements, so what are you doing?”
Sang-Hyeon was slaughtering his pursuers without rest, to the point where Kim Mi-So’s worries were rendered meaningless.
Among them, there were some who held their breath and hid tightly, but Sang-Hyeon found them all and eliminated them.
Of course, the guys who showed up were tracked down to the end and killed, even if it meant taking their lives.
The total value of the magic stones I have already collected is over 1 billion won. Just the magic stones alone.
“First, let’s put up a simple landmark to identify the location… … .”
Phew!
Sang-Hyeon erected a marker covered in fluorescent paint at the spot where the pursuers had been eliminated.
This was to allow the porters who would follow at a later time to accurately track their route.
The paint itself contained a liquid that monsters extremely dislike, so it also had a sort of approach-deterring effect.
Right then.
“Sang-Hyeon oppa! Oppa!”
Kim Mi-so appeared through the bushes. Judging from where she appeared, she seemed to have run through a side road that cut across the middle from another route.
Because the route is so complicated, you have to be careful even if you have a GPS.
“Why are you here?”
“Brother! Are you okay?”
“Of course it’s okay, so isn’t that why they’re setting up milestones like this?”
“The pursuers… … Wow! What is that? Did you catch them all by yourself and come all the way here?”
“Do I have to say the same thing again? That’s why I’m here now.”
Unlike Sang-hyeon, who spoke as if it was nothing serious, Kim Mi-so’s expression was filled with surprise.
Above all, Sang-Hyeon was not provided with any stealth detection devices such as a mana resonator.
“Then what about the pursuers… … ?”
“How did you do that? You just hit it as soon as you saw it.”
“Oppa, now you can even see hidden monsters? Where did you get that ability?”
“I appreciate your concern, but aren’t you being too trusting? If it was dangerous, you would have used a flare a long time ago.”
“ah…….”
Kim Mi-so made a blank expression.
The street that Sang-Hyeon passed by, his worries in vain, was a scene of genocide.
The number of pursuers that Jo Jin-ho and Shin Tae-ri had eliminated was several times greater.
There seemed to be quite a few trackers who were deliberately sought out and killed. Quite a few of them were found dead in the crevices of bushes or rocks.
“Don’t worry, just go back. You can detect stealth, so don’t worry about that.”
“No matter what I imagine, my brother always exceeds it. It’s gotten to the point where it doesn’t feel strange that the Inspectorate has stealth detection skills.”
“Okay, I know. Haha.”
Sang-Hyeon smiled and gestured for Kim Mi-So to turn back.
Kim Mi-so looked back at the battlefield that Sang-hyeon had swept through. It was truly a graveyard without a single blade of grass left.
“Brother.”

“uh?”
“I’ll apologize for what Taejung said earlier. I’ve always been jealous, so my words crossed the line.”
“Oh, it’s okay. I don’t care, so just go back quickly.”
Sang-Hyeon patted Kim Mi-So on the shoulder and offered her some encouragement.
I felt grateful.
Because I was worried about you for a moment, I came all the way here after traveling quite a long distance.
“I’ll go!”
“See you at the first gathering point. It doesn’t seem like there’s much left.”
“all right!”
Kim Mi-so disappeared in an instant.
Although she may not be as good as Shin Tae-ri, she is skilled at high-speed maneuvers, so her movements are nimble.
one side.
As soon as Kim Mi-so left, Sang-hyeon looked at Demon Bash, who had just reached skill level 5.
I had been working hard on my skills before participating in the Gaeseong Expedition, but I had only just completed the 5th level, which I had not been able to achieve because my skill level was a bit lacking.
Skill levels reach a major turning point every five stages. The coefficients increase significantly and additional options are added.
So, named players used to train their main skills to extreme levels, such as level 15 or 20.
Because it has such tremendous power and usability.
『Demon Bash』
■ Skill Level: 5 (0.1%)
■ Skill Introduction: Causes a 3.0 second stun state to monsters or players exposed to attack.
“First of all, the stiffness jumped from 2.6 seconds to 3.0 seconds at once. It used to increase by 0.2 seconds.”
Here’s the title with overwhelming power! It causes stiffness for up to 3.3 seconds at a time.
■ And increases the pressure value by 20.0%. When the pressure value reaches 100%, you will fall into a state of despair for 15 seconds.
“Pressure increased from 17.2% to 20.0%. Despair increased from 10 seconds to 15 seconds. Now you can say Demon Bash is your main skill.”
I like the coefficient variance.
Now, Demon Bash will inflict Despair after only five hits, and its duration has been increased by 50% compared to before.
The change from skill level 4 to 5 is felt more clearly than from skill level 1 to 4.
■ The third time has a 90% chance, the fourth time has a 70% chance, and the fifth time has a 50% chance to extend the stiffness.
■ If you succeed in extending the Stiffness skill 5 times in a row, the target will be silenced for 2 seconds.
“The probability increased from the fourth 60% to the fifth 30%? And there’s even a conditional silence… … . This is crazy.”
At this point, the skill itself has been completely transformed. You can almost hear people saying, “Long live the skill creation.”
Now, I’m looking forward to the skills that are diligently increasing their dexterity in stages 3 and 4. How much will it change when it reaches stage 5?
It’s nice to see status options added, whether conditional or not.
If you can induce silence from the edge of stiffness, the sacrificial victim will suffer until the end and then die.
Oh my god!
Oh my!
Meanwhile, a pursuer who had been sneaking up from behind was killed by Sang-Hyeon’s attack.
It was thanks to the fact that I never let my guard down while examining the skills.
“Even the title! It’s perfect.”
The title reward I had been waiting for since I started hunting for the Tracker finally appeared. It was just as the recipe said.
【Silence of Darkness】
■ Title Grade: B
■ Title Introduction: The perfect harmony of silence and darkness allowed the Shadow Stalkers to reject sound.
Having acquired their perfected know-how, you will now be able to drastically reduce the sound of your attacks.
■ Evasion +50
■ Each attack action or skill use consumes 1 additional mana, and reduces the noise caused by the attack by 30%.
■ The skill 『Dark Step』 is activated in conjunction with the title. It uses 1 mana per second to eliminate the sound of footsteps.
“It specializes in assassination.”
Sang-Hyeon nodded.
It was a meaningful title that greatly reduced the sound caused by all attack actions in general.
In addition, if you use the Dark Step skill, you can completely eliminate the sound of footsteps, so secret assassinations are also possible.
The saying that a title is a blessing in disguise made me realize once again the truth.
Even if it is not a title specific to one’s profession, it somehow creates value that can be used.
at that time.
Peeweeee! Peeweeee!
Here and there, flares began to fly across the night sky.
It wasn’t just one or two places.
Routes 1 through 3, which were handled by the Players Association, needless to say, and the same goes for Route 4.
A flare also appeared on the 4-10 route closest to Sang-Hyeon.
“Is it because of the tracker?”
The moment Sang-Hyeon tilted his head to try to figure out the situation.
Swish. Swish. Swish.
The ground, which had just looked like an ordinary dirt floor, suddenly began to rise upward.
It felt as if a sticky, viscous liquid was forming into a shape that gradually resembled a human being.
“Splitting?”
If Sang-Hyeon’s memory is correct, the splitter was definitely not the monster he would encounter in this section.
This is because in the previous life, during the 3rd Gaeseong subjugation battle, he passed the gathering point and came out only in the next section.
This is a guy that should have been encountered not in this section, but in a section that was one level more difficult than this.
First of all, the splitter is a mid-boss monster, not a regular monster.
He was such a difficult guy that he was evaluated as being in the 250s when compared to player levels.
When you feel your stamina is low, you can split your body and create a new body to restore your stamina and condition.
A tough opponent that can become transparent and liquefy while in a slime-like state.
Above all, it was a monster with the bizarre ability to reflect abnormal status effects. You couldn’t use skills that could cause abnormal status effects without worry.
Hehehehe.
Thud. Thud thud. Thud.
As the fissioner gradually took shape and shook its body here and there, five small fist-sized clones were created.
The splitter’s clone had the ability to self-destruct like a time bomb at any time, so caution was required.
At that moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Sang-Hyeon’s head.
■ Constellation: Goddess of Fortune
■ Effect: [Tell me your wish]
(……syncopation)
Third, when you defeat mid-boss monsters and boss monsters, you can obtain artifacts with a 100% probability even if the level is low.
Sang-Hyeon reconfirmed the third item of information related to the goddess of fortune, the contract constellation.
‘What if the clones of the splitter are also treated like mid-boss monsters?’
It was a very possible assumption.
If that happens… … .
‘Are all of those clones just gift packages that can give me artifacts with a 100% chance?’
A circuit of happiness that stretches in an unexpected direction! A smile appeared on Sang-Hyeon’s lips at the plausible thought.
