Episode 139 Nikita Voronin (1)

After that.
Kang-hoo went to the dungeon ‘exploration’ as promised to Ma Jin-ho.
It was a short but intense journey through the dungeons related to the imbalance point.
Since it was a dungeon that couldn’t be conquered alone in the first place, I didn’t even pay attention to the monsters.
Following the original memory, I pulled out only the fruit of the imbalance point with tweezers.
‘The remaining points are vague since the novel only lightly mentions dungeons and their characteristics.’
There was plenty of room for improvement in the remaining points, but it didn’t seem like we could be as sure as we are now.
Finding a needle in a haystack is a completely different matter from finding a needle in a haystack.
Anyway, thanks to that, my level went up quickly and I reached 160 in no time.
The level went up by a whopping 30.
Maybe because of that, the constellation messages and support windows suddenly started reacting explosively.
The attention of the constellations was greatly focused on Kang-hoo’s actions, who seemed to know the secrets of this world.
It was no exception for the main constellations, Dimension Robber and Dark Seeker.
The great disaster that always keeps an eye on Kang-hoo – darkness too.
Everyone wondered where he got such knowledge, but Kang-hoo had no comment on that.
Because it is literally a leak of secrets. It is questionable whether you can believe it.
‘Investing in stamina is only done until you reach level 200.’
The direction was also determined again.
The idea is to distribute the points you get each time you level up to stats other than stamina.
Of course, this is not a matter that should be decided hastily. It is something that can be thought about carefully enough.
There was one reason why Kang-hoo had been consistently investing in physical strength stats that did not immediately show up.
When congenital mana hypersensitivity is triggered and stamina begins to continuously decrease due to the handicap.
This is because I wanted my body to last as long as possible.
So far, there has been no battle that could be called a protracted war.
Even if it had existed, it could have been endured to some extent thanks to the power of Solarkyum and Mad Solarkyum.
I couldn’t guarantee that this optimistic situation would continue for as long as it did.
And Mad Solarkyum is not a panacea either, as it only delays overload but does not solve it.
What if the battle continues after the duration of Mad Solarkyum has ended?
At that time, the overload on the body is a problem, and the aftershocks that had been delayed until then come rushing in like crazy.
The power that can help you endure this is physical strength. Without physical strength, you will quickly become exhausted.
‘A total assassin. Even I think he’s a pretty horrible hybrid.’
Kang-hoo smiled bitterly.
He is a unique type of assassin who was created by his body’s severe handicap.
But Kang-hoo liked the congenital mana hypersensitivity that was either a curse or a blessing attached to his body.
Because of this, I have been able to successfully fight enemies with a large level gap and utilize skills that are close to fraud.
If the mana problem had not been resolved, no matter how many skills you had, it would have been over after using just a few.
one side.
Kang-hoo officially received an offer from Ma Jin-ho to join him in conquering the dungeon one more time.
It was also said that because the dungeon is very small, it would take a very short time to clear it.
We agreed to give priority to middle boss drop items and main boss drop items.
The deposit and balance were not received separately. It was a ‘debt of the heart’ that Kang-hoo intentionally left to Ma-jin-ho.
If he leaves behind a small amount of debt like this, Ma Jin-ho will have no choice but to be humble towards Kang-hoo later on, whether willingly or not.
Because Kang-hoo figured out that Ma Jin-ho had that kind of personality.
A person like Lee Hyeon-seok who is honest and has a clear sense of duty, he would never forget how much he owes me.
The next attack schedule is tomorrow at noon.
Thanks to that, I got a day or so of rest.
Thanks to the consideration of the Gru Guild, Kang-hoo was able to spend a day resting at the guild-owned villa.
It was a perfect and sure consideration that restricted the entry of outsiders, even members of the Gru Guild.
* * *
Swish.
The rain that had just started to fall on Jeju Island quickly cleared the sky that had been filled with fine dust.
Kang-hoo, who likes rain more than snow, especially the sound of rain, went out to the terrace and enjoyed the atmosphere.
With the addition of a steaming cup of Americano, it was a great way to experience the small joys of everyday life.
Right then.
【The constellation ‘Strategist of the Wilderness’ speaks to you in a voice full of emotion.】
【I have finally received official approval from the Great Temple. Now, I am ready for this thrilling moment as the main constellation that will be with the contractor forever!】
The strategist of the wilderness spoke to me for the first time in a long time.
They said it would take time to get approval from the Grand Council, but it seems like things have been delayed.
【Crazy X. Shaking his head.】
The dimensional usurper, hostile to the wilderness strategist, poured out his curses and venomous remarks.
The strategist of the wilderness didn’t even show any sign of anger, as if it was nonsense not worth talking about.
【I wonder if it would be a good idea to maintain your dignity as a constellation of high status. Your words and actions are not like you.】
The black seeker raised his voice cautiously, perhaps concerned about the sharp reaction of the dimension raider.
but.

【Oh, since you are a constellation that values appearance so much, did you start a household by meeting with another constellation?
If that’s the norm and class, then I guess I should live like a bit of a hooligan too.】
【Ahem… … .】
He was easily(?) subdued by the Dimension Robber. After that, I couldn’t see the message from the Black Seeker.
The fact that the Dimensional Robbers were hostile did not mean that there was any problem with the contract.
It was just an outpouring of emotions, and in the end, the Dimension Robber stopped talking and disappeared somewhere.
Perhaps it was more because he wanted to cause trouble.
It might have been because of his greed to have Kang-hoo, who was growing up faster and faster, all to himself.
Yeah, it was a strong possessiveness.
As the atmosphere became quiet again, the Wilderness Strategist continued speaking.
【I hope that the abilities I can grant you will be put to good use.
Please grow up well. I will watch over you leisurely with the unconditional love of a parent.】
“thank you.”
Kang-hoo bowed his head politely.
The Strategist of the Wilderness isn’t there in front of you, but you think he’s watching you.
【Now, I will activate the special contract approved by the Great Temple.】
As soon as the words were spoken, a contract was made. It was the moment when Kang-hoo gained his third main constellation. Rather than being equal, it was a contract for a main constellation that Kang-hoo had gained unilaterally through the courtship of the strategist of the wilderness, and he had nothing to lose.
At the same time, three constellation perks available from the Strategist of the Wilderness have been activated.
【First. You are 90% immune to mental attacks from hunters within a range of twice the contractor’s level.
Even if you fail to deal with it with a 10% chance, ‘Wisdom Eye’ will activate and enforce immunity. However, it cannot be activated again for 1 day.
‘Oh, that’s good?’
As expected from a wilderness strategist specializing in the mental side, the first constellation privilege is something heavy.
So far, except for the method of responding to mental attacks using tricks.
All I did was use the Blood Devourer constellation effect that I had previously stolen from Osan Guardian Hunter, Jo Young-jae.
The constellation effect was that the more stamina you lost, the higher your chance of becoming immune to mental attacks.
However, it was conditional and the probability was not very high, at around 5%.
But now, through the Strategist of the Wilderness, you can significantly raise that level.
Of course, there was a condition that it had to be less than 2x the level.
Since Kang-hoo’s current level is 160, it means that he can cover hunters up to level 320.
It might be difficult to fight against Yu Cheong-hwa or Emilia Rose right now.
If you level up diligently, it is a structure that can put them within sight where they can sufficiently respond.
【Second, advance recognition is possible when the long-range dealer’s ‘sniping’, ‘aiming down sights’, and ‘targeting’ are activated.
“Intuition” is activated, allowing you to immediately recognize that you are the target of an attack.】
‘It’s to prevent sudden death. If you meet a high-level sniper or archer, there are many cases where you die without anyone knowing.’
It was indeed a useful ability.
There is a huge difference between knowing in advance that someone is after you and not knowing in advance, which can be considered the difference between life and death.
【Third, use ‘Soul Wave’ to break the mental link between enemies or summons.
It causes mental strain while consuming 250 mana, but can completely reset the enemy’s status.】
“This is… … .”
It’s a pretty attractive perk.
However, as the tooltip says, the aftershock that will come back to Kang-hoo is also quite strong.
Kang-hoo tried using the soul wave as a test.
Since it was a constellation ability that was learned along with the contract and all knowledge was transferred, it was not difficult to use it right away.
Phew!
In the empty space, transparent waves rippled. It felt as if something was being shaken vigorously.
Through this, the undead summoned by the black magician using the necromancy skill can be neutralized all at once.
It seemed like it could deliver a solid counter punch to hunters who use summons.
step.
“Ugh.”
A massive overload was caused throughout the body as a large amount of mana was consumed in one breath.
Even though there were items to relieve the pain, it was so painful that I thought my head was going to burst.
It seemed like it would have to be used very carefully, rather than at a level where overloading was moderate.
Even if you cast it twice in a row, it feels like your entire head won’t be able to hold it and will discharge.
Still, it was so good.
The Dimensional Robber, the Dark Seeker, and the Wilderness Strategist each have completely different specializations.
So, the entire constellation ability you gain is designed so that you can scratch only the ticklish parts without any overlapping parts.
This is a perfect distribution for Kang-hoo, who dreams of becoming an all-rounder who can do everything on his own.
【Do you like my contractor that much? You’re an idiot.】
With a single word from the dimensional usurper who suddenly reappears and strikes the wilderness strategist like a grain of sand.
In this way, Kang-hoo experienced yet another growth spurt, quietly and secretly.
* * *
Around that time.
A male hunter who had just completed immigration procedures walked out of Jeju Airport.
Neatly shaved head, neatly styled glasses with rose gold frames, and a well-dressed suit.
A man with a cold, intellectual vibe met someone waiting for him in front of the airport.
It was none other than Marjinho of the Gru Guild.
“Welcome, Nikita.”
“How have you been? I am glad that the delivery went smoothly this time. Were there any defective products?”
“Not at all. Isn’t the Kashmar Guild well-known for producing military supplies for dungeons?”
“Thank you for always trusting and entrusting us with your business. This time, I am here to inform you about a new product.”
“You could do it via video call. Isn’t it too much trouble?”
“Haha. Actually, I have some other things to do.”
Nikita Voronin.
He is an executive of the Kashmar Guild and also an administrator in charge of Korean issues.
I was as fluent in Korean as I was in Russian, so there was no problem communicating.
Nikita had been mainly conducting video calls as Ma Jin-ho had said.
This time, he said he would come all the way to Jeju Island to promote a new product. It seemed like he had another intention.
Marginho asked.
“Can you tell me what’s going on?”
“I have come to meet with Hunter Shin Kang-hoo, who is with us now. This is an important matter that reflects the Master’s intentions.”
Nikita’s immediate response made the purpose of his visit clear.
