Episode 94 Proof of Value (1)
* * *
The dungeon raid has begun.
Although the dungeon had an official name, the three of them called it the ‘Labyrinth Dungeon’.
As the level increases.
The dungeons I encountered were often complex and twisted in this way, so I felt something different.
In fact, it is a dungeon concept that largely reflects the original author’s intentions.
It was really fun to use as a maze-type dungeon because it increased the difficulty level.
but.
‘I feel like a beggar when I’m in a challenging position.’
When I was in the position of experiencing it firsthand, I didn’t feel very good. I had to be on my toes all the time.
“hmm.”
As soon as I entered the dungeon, I saw three snipers who had taken up positions and taken up positions.
He’s a sentry guarding the dungeon entrance. He’s not particularly skilled, but he’s a sniper, so you can’t let him down.
As promised, Kang-hoo started to charge right away. The closest guy was Kang-hoo’s target.
【jump】
【acceleration】
【jump】
I combined and linked the most basic skills. For now, the priority is to quickly close the distance with the target.
Although it was a bit taxing on the body for a moment, there was nothing better than the simple combination of acceleration and jumping.
Taang!
First, Ban Se-young’s gun fired.
One of the snipers positioned in a triangle formation was hit in the right shoulder by Ban Se-young’s sniper shot.
And Jeon Se-hyeok held off on his specialty, the arrow attack, and instead invited the sniper’s attack.
He pretended to aim at the sniper on the right rear, then took two steps back.
The next moment.
Taang! Plop!
Sparks flew from where he had just stood, and the stray bullets scattered in vain.
Jeon Se-hyeok chose induction instead of attack, and his move was successful.
Now it was Kang-hoo’s turn.
Seeing!
I couldn’t hear any sound, but it felt like the sniper’s gun was aimed.
It is a very subtle pain that can be felt when the flow of mana that induces magic is concentrated on one point.
It was something that even the average hunter, let alone the average person, could never feel.
However, it was a sensation that Kang-hoo could easily feel because his senses were highly developed due to congenital hypersensitivity.
【Shadow Walk】
Spaang!
At that moment, Kang-hoo’s shadow split into three parts.
The sniper’s gun shook as he was taken aback by the sudden development. This was because he had to aim for the ‘real’ Kang-hoo.
Soon, I confirmed that the shadow was fake and that the real Kang-hoo was still in his place.
Kang-hoo happened to be sitting behind a tree that was on his path at the time.
Woohoo!
Sniper increased mana output.
He had planned to hide behind a tree and blow away Kang-hoo’s head along with the entire tree trunk.
The target, Kang-hoo, was still in place, and the sniper pulled the trigger with a satisfied smile.
Taang! Perseusok!
As expected from a high-powered bullet, the entire tree was blown away. Naturally, Kang-hoo’s head, who was hiding behind it, did not meet a very different fate.
however.
“… … ?”
The sniper tilted his head when he saw that the flesh and blood that should have been flying around were not visible.
That moment.
A figure that had been seen as a shadow until just now was seen changing into Kang-hoo’s appearance.
At that point, Kang-hoo was already ready to throw the bullet at the sniper.
【Lightning ratio】
Kuwaaah!
Because the distance was so close, and because Kang-hoo used all his strength to swing the dagger, a loud noise was heard.
The bullet flew through space in an instant and lodged itself between the sniper’s eyebrows before the sniper could even get a handle on it.
Not only that, the sniper who was aware of Kang-hoo’s approach was also targeting Kang-hoo instead of Jeon Se-hyeok.
Phew!
He died instantly, following his colleague.
When Jeon Se-hyeok took a turn off the sniper’s attack by inducing an attack instead of attacking.
Kang-hoo had already planned the connection. Knowing that Jeon Se-hyeok had not made the first move, he had thought about the next step.
The story is that since Jeon Se-hyeok was in charge, he said he would handle it and did not pass it on.
“wow.”
“It’s neat, oppa. Isn’t it?”
“That’s right. Usually, assassins cover up with skill. Seon-gyu, you always include a physical fight in that.”

“Isn’t it burdensome to fight with your wits? If your opponent is smart, you could be in danger.”
“Seyoung, think about it differently. If you’re sure that you’re smart, there’s nothing more fun than a battle of wits.”
“I’m so sick of it… … .”
“Imagine you were Zhuge Liang from Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It would be fun to tease an idiot.”
Jeon Se-hyeok patted Ban Se-young on the shoulder and encouraged her.
She was definitely the type to fight instinctively, with her body rather than her head. Of course, that was also an advantage.
Anyway, the entrance obstacle(?) was dealt with like that.
When I came with Park Dong-jae before, the only person who could snipe from a distance was Ban Se-young.
Even if you take down one sniper, you have to take your time and attack the other two.
Although Jeon Se-hyeok is skilled with a bow, he cannot fire arrows as quickly as Matan.
But in this attack, the path was opened up too easily thanks to Kang-hoo’s stirring up trouble among them.
“This is my first time teaming up with a real assassin, so I’m nervous.”
Without realizing it, Ban Se-young already thought of Kang-hoo as a ‘proper assassin’.
Although she has played with countless hunters and teammates up until now, there were always one or two aspects of her that she didn’t like.
But it wasn’t Kang-hoo.
Before I could even think of anything to complain about, I was already doing it.
Same thing just now.
By the time Kang-hoo had killed the sniper he was assigned to, the next attack had already gone to the sniper targeting Jeon Se-hyeok.
If it were another hunter.
Ban Se-young should have added some support firepower, or at least shouted that it was timing.
The concept of pretending and doing something is difficult to establish unless you are in sync with someone to some extent.
“Do your best. I still think you’ll be a good partner. When you have the chance, do your best.”
Jeon Se-hyeok said with a smile.
Although I didn’t see Kang-hoo for long, I could tell the hunter’s skills and fundamentals just by looking at him for a short while.
Kang-hoo was a hunter who naturally had the basic skills of an assassin and also had excellent expandability.
I wonder if it would be right to give him a single, unified job title like ‘Assassin’.
If we can give it an unofficial name… … . I was wondering what would be names like Dual Class or Triple Class.
This is because the skills you have sometimes have a completely different direction than the assassination series.
Anyway, from now on, Jeon Se-hyeok was going to focus only on opening rooms, not gaining experience points.
That was the promise.
It will help you when you later attack boss monsters, but even then, it will be a sub-character, not a main-character.
The person in charge of leading and ordering the main team of three was Kang-hoo, who had the lowest level.
It’s funny if you look at it from the outside.
If you look at it from the inside as a team member, it was an obvious composition that you would never be able to laugh at.
* * *
“If you clear the first room quickly, a shortcut path will open up.”
“That’s right. As I mentioned during the briefing, the faster you clear the dungeon, the better the rewards.”
“Then I guess I’ll have to do some doping.”
Carduck! Carduck!
Kang-hoo took out the solarium and chewed it hard.
If it were up to me, I’d like to eat Mad Solarium and fight while using up all my mana without any worries.
Mad Solarium was too precious for that. I thought it would be nice if I could get it infinitely.
One of the reasons I wanted to meet Master K was because of the issue surrounding Mad Solarkyum.
Since he is not the kind of guy who can be saved just by having money, I would like to ask for his advice.
“What is that?”
“Solar Keyum.”
“Isn’t there anything special about it other than the calming effect? It doesn’t seem to be very effective in relieving pain either.”
“Well, let’s just say it’s like chewing gum as a routine.”
“Yeah. I respect your taste!”
Ban Se-young, who does not know Kang-hoo’s special physical condition, cannot help but not know that Solar Ki-um is important to Kang-hoo.
Kang-hoo was convinced.
If it weren’t for Solarkyum, I wouldn’t have been able to grow so comfortably until now.
This guy is the one who turned ‘congenital mana hypersensitivity’, which could have been a severe handicap, into a merit.
“Both of you. Raise your hands if you’re ready. The dungeon countdown will begin the moment the door opens.”
Jeon Se-hyeok kindly guided us.
If he is left alone in the ‘Departure Room’, the next room will open right away.
Because in order to maintain the passage, there must be at least one person in the previous room.
He was meant to play this role until the end.
And in times of great danger, he was scheduled to support long-range attacks at the request of Kang-hoo or Ban-se-young.
Until then, I decided never to lend any strength, no matter how dire the situation seemed, unless I was asked to do so.
In order to improve their skills, Kang-hoo and Ban-se-young shared the common desire to avoid help that could be easily obtained.
Before departure.
Kang-hoo said to Ban-se-young.
“I won’t look back. Trust me and I’ll run, so support me. Then I’ll definitely pay for at least two meals.”
“Do you believe it?”
“You won’t believe it.”
Ban Se-young nodded and smiled brightly at Kang-hoo’s confident words.
You could say that it was a confidence without any foundation, but she liked that kind of confidence in Kang-hoo.
And always, Kang-hoo proved the reason for his confidence himself. So there was no distrust.
Knock knock knock.
The moment the door opens.
Pfft!
Kang-hoo’s figure disappeared from Ban Se-young’s sight.
He had already entered the center of the room in an instant, continuing to accelerate and jump.
Especially at the end, he used shadow steps to push the shadow deeper and change its position.
Thanks to that, Kang-hoo was already seated in the middle of the room before the doors had even fully opened.
And this was the place in the room with the most monsters.
The monster type was ‘Awakened Orc’ and its defenses were not that good. However, the firepower of the attack itself was high.
Taang!
Kkuweeek! Kkuweeek! Kkuweeek!
Ban Se-young’s fire-breathing magic bullet blew off Orc Net’s head in one shot.
Because the matt is weak and the density is high, the effect that can be obtained with a single attack is great.
The point of conquering this room is not to show off your strength, but to annihilate all the monsters as quickly as possible.
Kang-hoo set the stage right away.
【Pungroejin】
He laid down a wind and thunder formation as if he were looking at a mirror.
It is a space of death where you will be attacked by all kinds of electricity and cold winds just by entering.
Kang-hu, who was at the center of the wind and thunder formation, immediately placed a protective barrier around himself just in case.
Because soon this place will turn into a death zone.
However, he deliberately became the bait because he knew that if he did not become the bait, the monsters would not gather.
It was also a tactic he could take since he knew he wouldn’t die in the wind and thunder anyway.
‘Strategy often involves sacrificing a part of yourself while taking the life of your enemy.’
Kang-hoo smiled with conversion.
There is truly no end to strategy and brainstorming.
And the pleasure of luring out the fools and then killing them all at once… was the most thrilling thing.
It is a pleasure that no other pleasure can match. It may even be a pleasure greater than s*xual pleasure.
