ground zero (4)

Still, the Punisher had his own guts.

I struggled somehow to hold on and fight back.

He bit his teeth hard, tried to forget the pain, and turned his body with all his might to counterattack Kang-hu.

It was superhuman strength.

If it was another monster, it would have vomited blood and died right away.

However, the conviction to protect Mad Solachium somehow made it possible to squeeze out the power of the Punisher.

widely!

Unfortunately, the Punisher’s fighting spirit was ruined by Kang Hu’s flicked finger.

blood flow has been triggered.

Then, like a paper doll caught in a strong wind, the Punisher’s body swayed restlessly and fell forward.

The bloody flower burst through the medium of the gurgling blood, giving unbearable damage all at once.

No matter how much a punisher endured with mental strength, he could not withstand the pressure that exceeded the limits of his body.

“after.”

Kang Hu let out a hot breath.

His resistance was strong enough to make me think it would have been difficult to deal with without the blood.

Did it make you nervous?

After a long time, my confidence in victory was not 100%, but 90%, no, it almost fell below that.

Anyway, with the Punisher’s death, there was no longer any entity to protect Mad Solachium.

While climbing the rock wall using leaping, he bought time by holding on to the stone beak and enduring it.

If you continue to use Leap continuously, it is easy to get overloaded, so I put a little bit of time.

Thanks to the improved strength, it was not difficult to bear the weight of the entire body with one or two arms.

Endurance that could not have been dreamed of if it were the self at the time of escaping the Qingming camp in the past.

But now that he had steadily raised his strength stat, it was as easy as doing light push-ups.

Soon, Kang-hoo, who arrived in the middle of the rock wall, finally faced Mad Solachium.

The appearance was so different that I wondered if it was the same Solachium style.

If solaceum had an appearance similar to aloe, mad solaceum was closer to tulips.

If you compare the two without prior knowledge, you will not be able to recognize that they are the same at all.

Suwook!

With just a little bit of strength in his hand, the Mad Solarium was pulled out all the way.

“at las.”

Kang Hu put on a satisfied expression.

He is the one who makes the ganghu perfect for 30 minutes. Frees you from all restraints and worries.

Of course, after 30 minutes, the aftermath comes as much as it is unreasonable during the calming time.

However, it meant a lot to be able to focus on the battle without worrying about 30 minutes.

This is because the congenital mana hypersensitivity makes it impossible to worry about the supply and demand of mana.

In other words, if you have Mad Solarium, you have infinite mana for 30 minutes. Same with Infinite Skills.

“This little flower is worth 100 million won… … . It’s more than gold bars.”

A bloody laugh came out.

Of course, I have no intention of selling.

And there aren’t too many hunters who are actively looking for Mad Solachium.

It is because drugs such as narcotics rather than Mad Solachyum have much better pain relief and awakening effects.

Furthermore, in terms of price, it was much more ‘cost-effective’ than Mad Solarium, which went in billions.

Anyway, I got my first Mad Solachium. There are still 5 more flowers to get.

You have to move diligently.

“huh?”

At that time, something abruptly rose from the body of the punisher who died with a slight time lag.

It was a green magic stone.

It is worth 100 million won.

I thought it was pretty good to earn magic stones.

It’s not common to see magic stones, but it seemed to reflect the characteristics of Ground Zero, where the tone became stronger.

It means that we are in an area less touched by hunters.

Like the dungeon, this kind of external space, because the rewards are good for places that are less targeted.

It is also a verified statistic.

“… … .”

However, there was one thing that bothered me earlier.

It is true that there is one eye watching this side.

What is interesting is that the owner of the gaze freely moves over the tree.

There was not even a sound in the process, and it was only quietly changing its position.

If Kang Hu didn’t have night vision ability, he wouldn’t even be aware that someone was watching him.

The reason Ganghu didn’t respond was that the opponent was keeping a certain distance.

It didn’t seem hostile, it seemed closer to the realm of curiosity. It feels like just watching.

‘Well, I’ll take care of it when the time comes.’

From noble mtl dot com

Ganghu started to move to the next point without much thought.

If necessary, he will appear first, and if he is going to fight, he will close the distance.

It is enough to respond appropriately to the situation at that time. There was no need to complicate things.

* * *

midnight.

Ground Zero, thickly covered with darkness, was filled with silence and stillness.

Occasionally, the screams of monsters or hunters could be heard, but no one paid any attention to the sound.

They just thought it was someone else’s business and passed it on, saying that the monster was dead or that the hunter was dead.

In the first place, that was when there were hunters around, and there were more cases where they didn’t know what had happened.

Thanks to that, ‘she’, who was watching Kang-hoo from a distance, was able to focus her eyes only on him.

Her name is Yuri Jeong.

With a level of 250, he was a hunter who had lived in Ground Zero for quite some time.

There was no burden of living in the wild.

On the contrary, it was considered much safer than living in a crime city where there was no danger.

Besides, since I hate sunlight, the environment of Ground Zero, with its thick bushes and trees, suits my taste.

It wasn’t particularly difficult to follow Ganghu carefully.

Possessing the ability to transform, she was able to transform her body from a human form into a form of black smoke.

Then, I could remove the pressure of gravity and focus only on lightly moving through the air.

If necessary, he could use his space utilization ability to open a shortcut.

‘Isn’t that person tired? It seems that there is no gap at all against the tricky punisher.’

Ganghu was busily moving to get the Mad Solarium. continued to fight the Punisher.

Jeong Yu-ri, who watched the entire battle, was amazed at Kang-hu’s skill.

The Punisher is picky with anyone. This is because it is adjusted according to the opponent’s skill and state.

So, in order to attack the Punisher, an ingenious strategy to catch them off guard was essential.

No matter how good a hunter is, there is a limit to the skills that can be applied.

However, Ganghu continued to create variables in the situation.

Even just the skills she checked with her eyes, there were already well over 10 of them.

To reach this level, you must be level 200 unconditionally.

So, 8 basic skills are given at 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 200.

It’s because I got about 3 additional skills that fit my occupational group, and it’s about 11 if I hit my hand.

There were a total of 10 skills that Jeong Yu-ri had now. So, you can’t help but think that you are on the same level as yourself.

‘The transfer of offense and defense is neat.’

What Jung Yu-ri noticed the most was that there was no superfluity in Kang-hu’s movements.

As a result, it was free to switch between attack and defense, and above all, there was no waste of movement and movement.

Among the hunters I saw at Ground Zero recently, he was the most skilled hunter.

‘Looks like he’s not the one who ran away.’

Jeong Yu-ri was convinced.

It’s not a criminal who committed a crime and sneaked in here, but a hunter from the outside who came on business.

That’s why I became more interested.

As if they had an internal map, how could they only find the place where Mad Solarium is located?

“… … .”

Jung Yu-ri disappeared into the darkness again and followed Kang-hu at a distance.

There was still quite a bit of time before dawn.

* * *

30 minutes later.

‘I’m sweating a little now.’

After defeating the Punisher and acquiring the sixth Mad Solarium, Ganghu sat down on a rock for the first time to rest.

This is the point of Mad Solarium that Ganghu knows.

After that, it’s uncharted territory.

If you’re looking for it, you should be able to find it, but it’s not an easy task since you have to search all over Ground Zero.

I felt like I had the whole world when I was looking at the 6 Mad Solarium flowers.

If you look at the time, 3 hours, if you look at one battle as 30 minutes, it’s a guy who will make 6 battles without burden.

There will be many elements that will be strategically used in the future. It will be very helpful in creating variables.

‘Level 42.’

The level was steadily raised as well.

He only dealt with six Punishers and a few small monsters, but the amount of experience he gave was definitely great.

If they had not come as a group or when the yin energy was strong like now, they would have barely passed level 41.

It was Kang-hoo who realized the importance of timing and the strength of solo play.

Swoop.

Kang Hu glanced at the top of a tall tree.

I’ve been watching for a really long time.

or show up in the middle.

Or I thought I would lose interest and leave, but the owner of the gaze was constantly watching him.

‘Shall we play a joke?’

Ganghu immediately performed illusion magic and shadow walking, scattering his alter egos in all directions.

Then, the gaze that was looking at it could not be centered in one place, and began to wander in various directions.

It must have been even more embarrassing to look into it in the dark.

Shapes resembling Ganghu’s appearance are scattered all over the place.

in between.

hooked! hooked!

He drove his dagger into the tree with all his might, and in an instant rode up the tree to the top.

As I moved using leaps and accelerations, I reached the end of a 40m tree in just a few seconds.

“hey.”

“Ah!”

“What are you so surprised about? Did you think I wouldn’t know?”

“No, that’s not it! Where did you know?”

“From the beginning. I didn’t seem to have any hostility, so I just didn’t respond. But it seems like you’ve been watching too long?”

“I know you’re an assassin, but can you suddenly climb a tree like this?”

“You are unnecessarily curious.”

Kang Hu sat down next to her.

Looking down, I was on top of a tree high enough to feel dizzy.

Like Ganghu and Jung Yu-ri, they seemed to be sitting comfortably without any worries.

at that time.

Kang Hu’s eyes twinkled as he studied her face carefully.

Because there were faces and names that came to mind. Its appearance matched the description in the original work.

A face where the lines are clearly felt due to the clear features.

Two eyes of completely different colors with a uniquely styled bun and odd eyes.

When viewed from the side, he has a sharp nose that looks like he could cut a piece of paper, and his lips are quite thick.

And from the body to the smell of acacia. There was a character who matched this in the original work.

Yuri Jeong.

She is a female hunter who lives in Ground Zero and hates the purification guild.

He has a deeper emotional gap than Ahn Young-ho, because he had a history of being betrayed by a hunter belonging to the Jeonghwa Guild.

The story is long.

To put it simply, he is a character who tries to kill Kwan-hyung Chae, a key figure in the purification guild later. There is no way that the deep-rooted resentment will disappear because the bad relationship with him is deep.

‘The ties are entwined like this.’

Ganghu accepted the coincidence, nodding his head at the strange fate and progress of the relationship.

That’s what it’s like to meet people in the first place. It is not always inevitable.

There are also unexpected coincidences, such as meeting an important person in an unexpected place.

For Kang-hu, who decided to fight against Jeong-hwa’s guild, Jeong Yu-ri was a fairly important figure.
