Episode 10 Subjugation (3)
Kim Mok-hyeon saw the devil for the first time in his life.
Percussion!
The first thing Kang-hoo did was to trip the staggering Kim Mok-hyeon and make sure he fell.
Whether it’s magic, a sword, or anything else, it’s very difficult to attack an opponent while lying down.
The same goes for defense.
You have to defend by looking up from below, but it is not easy because it goes against gravity.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
“Kuaaaah!”
Even the talkative Kim Mok-hyeon was unable to say anything else as the excruciating pain continued.
This was because Kang-hu, who had knocked down Kim Mok-hyeon, kept stabbing the dagger into his wounded side.
He didn’t even care that red blood was splattering on his face and that Kim Mok-hyun was screaming and flapping like a freshly caught carp.
Dismantle, dismantle, and dismantle again.
He subdued Kim Mok-hyeon brutally, as if he was tearing off human flesh.
He was so consumed by pain that he couldn’t even think of fighting back against Kang-hoo.
【The constellation ‘Master of Mobile Warfare’ highly praises your attack strategy as an excellent tactic.】
【I will use a small amount of Holy Power to support you with a small buff.】
【Experience Increase +0.1%】
An unexpected sponsorship came.
It is a well-known fact that numerous constellations are observing the Hunter.
However, it is not common for sponsorship to take place. In any case, it is necessary to use the power of the constellation, the ‘Holy Power’.
Since he had spent some of his limited resources, its value could never be underestimated.
There is a huge difference between giving support in words and showing it as a genuine act of good faith.
【This is an embarrassing patronage of a lowly constellation. Ignore it. It even lowers my dignity as the owner of the contract.】
Kang-hoo nodded after hearing the dimension robber’s words.
His jealous reaction should be interpreted in the opposite way: it means that a significant sponsorship has come in.
“Coolook! Coolook!”
Meanwhile, Kim Mok-hyeon, who had been silently thrusting the dagger, finally received a response.
What kind of reaction is this······.
It means death is imminent.
His arms, slumped over and stuck to the cold concrete, testify to his lost will.
“You cruel bastard······.”
Words and blood came out mixed together.
Irregular breathing indicates that the body has already been subjected to more stress than it can handle.
“This is just the beginning.”
“What difference do you think it will make if you catch one guy like me······?”
“If the world could change by catching a lowly guy like you, I wouldn’t have even thought about living in the first place.”
“what······?”
“Just be quiet and do nothing.”
Plop!
Kang-hoo put strength into both arms and pierced the center of Kim Mok-hyeon’s forehead with the tip of the longsword.
It was an instant death without a doubt.
【Kill the target and steal the contract with the ‘Chaos Fighter’.】
【All abilities of the ‘Chaos Fighter’ are inherited to you.】
【Don’t worry about this constellation with a rag in its mouth, I will subdue it myself.】
The usurpation of the constellation also took place quickly.
As the Dimension Robber immediately starts talking back, it seems like he is struggling in the process of being subjugated.
Anyway, as he absorbed the constellation, the skills that the constellation had naturally became Kang-hoo’s.
Two in total.
One was a skill that Kim Mok-hyeon had used, and the other was something I had never seen before, so I guess he didn’t have time to use it.
【Surprise】
【Shallow Chaos】
With the maximum proficiency applied, it has become a much more advanced skill than the concept that Kim Mok-Hyeon previously used.
The sight stealing has become more vicious as it darkens the opponent’s vision and then ‘slowly’ restores it to its original state.
Shallow confusion has taken the form of a double whammy, causing disorientation and distortion of peripheral vision.
‘Jang Si-hwan didn’t grow this quickly from the beginning either. He was made to suffer a lot.’
If you were to place Jang Si-hwan from the past at the same starting point, you would probably be going several times faster.
Kang-hoo carefully examined the composition of his newly acquired skills.
These are all skills that synergize well with the assassin class.
“I don’t have a hobby of stripping men.”
Kang-hoo began to touch Kim Mok-hyeon’s body, which was cooling down, here and there with his eyes wide open.
Everything must be taken off.
That way, you can retrieve all the items you are wearing.
In the case of belt items, they are often worn inside the body rather than outside the pants for aesthetic reasons, so you need to look further inside.
As I started to recover quite a few items from Kim Mok-Hyeon, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
Why don’t hunters go to dungeons these days?

The answer is simple.
Rather than going to a dungeon and suffering.
Because it is more profitable to kill a blind hunter who is poorly equipped with items and take what he has.
The recovery was over quickly.
Everything except one commissioned item that he was obligated to return to Yerin Lee became Kang-hoo’s property.
“You’ve eaten a lot. Well, I guess every hunter who comes looking for you must have had a lot of fun with the Twilight Wolf.”
Kang-hoo looked down at the corpse of the wolf lying cold outside the building.
Kim Mok-Hyeon’s strategy would have been to use these guys to deal with intruders or to launch a surprise attack during a battle.
Since there must be more than one or two hunters who have been hit here, it was understandable why there were so many items worn by Kim Mok-hyeon.
【Amulet of the Evil God – Amulet】
【Molly’s Maniche – Gloves】
【Asura’s Wisdom Eye – Breastplate】
【The Game of the Gods – Ring】
First of all, I wore it like this. It is a part that does not overlap with the existing worn items.
I decided to look at each option more closely whenever I had time, and just checked the composition of the talisman.
【Amulet of the Evil God】
【Rating: None】
【Enters the ‘Awakening’ state by consuming 1 mana per second. Skill casting time is reduced.】
“also.”
It seemed clear that the confidence of Kim Mok-hyeon, who generously poured out the flames of progress, came from here.
If you can quickly calm or suppress Mana Oversensitivity, this is a talisman with really good synergy for Kang-hoo.
In addition to the ones I was wearing, I was thinking of selling all twelve of the 9th grade items that I had acquired separately.
Even if you don’t receive it, you can still earn at least 1 million won, so you’ve already earned 12 million won.
“I hope I can get to level 20 on the way out.”
I got to level 18 by killing ten dusk wolves. Or maybe 18.5 to be exact?
I was thinking of getting 20 inside the dungeon.
Then, you can obtain the level 20 basic skill, Accelerated Stab. It is a skill that is like a lifeline for an assassin.
“Level 20······. Considering that he’s currently level 800, there really isn’t a lower class like this one.”
Looking at the level where Kang-hoo still had a long way to go, he looked up at the sky with eyes that had become cold and sunken.
The clouds above seem close, but they are out of reach.
Jang Si-hwan is in that exact location.
And still, the world rolls along beautifully and perfectly in the hands of the collaborators.
* * *
“Brother, it’s coming out over there.”
“Where have you been? You came out covered in blood?”
“Are there just a few guys who sneak up on you in the dungeon? You must have gotten your fill by beating up a blind guy.”
As time passed and memories of Kang-hoo began to fade, Kang-hoo reappeared in Osan Su-ho’s sight.
Of course, Jo Young-jae also saw Kang-hoo.
In fact, even though he is the number three of Osan Suho, he is ultimately a gangster who cannot even hand out business cards to warlords or guilds.
Fortunately, Osan is outside the sphere of interest of warlords and criminal organizations, so this kind of leader play is possible.
“Brother, should I bring that kid over?”
“Bring him here. Let me see his face.”
Youngjae Jo nodded.
In fact, bringing him doesn’t mean you can take away Kang-hoo’s skills.
But Jo Young-jae felt bad just because he had attracted attention.
Level 65 Berserker Hunter.
He even has ‘The Devourer of Blood’ as his contract constellation.
Nevertheless, I was jealous of Kang-hoo. I couldn’t stand the feeling of relative inferiority.
After stopping the hunt, ten men from Osan’s guardians rushed in and surrounded Kang-hoo.
“Hey. You.”
“Huh? Just wait a minute. I have something to do.”
“Shut up and follow me.”
“Wait.”
Kang-hoo had just reached level 20 and was looking at the accelerated stab skill he had acquired by unlocking basic skills.
【Bleeding Stab】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】
【Applies a ‘Bleeding’ effect to the target, stacking from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 50 stacks.】
【From 10 stacks, abilities related to recovery are limited.】
【You must continue the next attack within 2 seconds to accumulate stacks, after which the stacks are reset.】
The skill that was an acceleration stab changed its name and character completely as soon as the proficiency reached maximum.
The bleeding trait can only be possessed by the Assassin and Berserker classes.
Even that is only obtained as a permanent option when both of them obtain the basic skills at level 200.
It was a very long time ago.
The Bleeding status effect was the rarest and most strategically valuable for Hunters, as it perfectly countered not only the healer’s but also the boss’s own recovery.
The first priority for recruiting for a mercenary team that is currently being formed to conquer a dungeon is not a ‘healer’ but a ‘bleeding dealer’.
‘It’s a really good skill, except that it costs mana every time you use Bleeding Stab.’
I really liked the content, perhaps because the skill identity itself changed completely thanks to maximum proficiency.
Of course, I only like the skills, but the surrounding picture is very unpleasant.
When Kang-hoo didn’t move an inch, a hunter with his hair done up with pomade threatened him.
“Did the kid get a nail stuck in his ear? Can’t you hear?”
It was his dagger that barely touched his jawline.
It was quite a threatening approach, but Kang-hoo stared at the hunter without changing his expression.
“Okay, now that I’m done with work. What is it?”
“My brother wants to see you. My brother Jo Young-jae. Of course you know who he is, right?”
“Do I really need to know that much?”
“Something like that······?”
“Where? Show me the way.”
at that time.
“Are you so scared that your head is broken? Why are you talking so much like that? You little shit······.”
Unable to control his anger, he put strength into his dagger and tried to stab it under Kang-hoo’s chin.
Kang-hoo immediately jumped from his awakened state and blew his hand high into the sky in one breath.
It’s hard to cut off the wrist with a simple strike, so I used a skill to propel it forward.
“Kwaaaaak!”
The hunter looked at his right hand, which was neatly cut off, and stepped back in shock.
The right hand that had lost its owner was flapping on the floor.
Was it this easy to cut off a person’s hand?
“Hey, hey, what the heck is this kid?”
The Osan Guardian Hunters took a step back one or two at a time at Kang-hoo’s reaction, which seemed to be living only for today, without any plans.
