The Genius Assassin Who Does It All Himself

Constellation Test (2)

* * *

Before breaking up with Lee Ye-rin.

Kang-hu asked to find out about Park Min-seong.

When Park Min-seong went to Ground Zero, he was the owner of the body that was able to obtain the dagger ‘Boundary of Massacre’.

It was to the extent that he carried a dagger of this size, so he thought he was a fairly skilled hunter.

So, I remembered the location of the body while taking possessions such as a hunter license, smartphone, and ID.

It may be a missing person that family or acquaintances are looking for in the official hunter community.

Just as there is a bounty on criminals, the missing person has a reward, so he was looking into it.

I offered to give Lee Ye-rin a generous deposit, but she shook her head and refused.

There is one thing that Ganghu has been doing well with the request so far, so this time he will do it for free.

It was. It was a favor.

Kang Hu did not want to refuse the favor, so he happily accepted her offer.

I didn’t ask for it, it was a favor I gave myself, so there’s no need to try to repay it later.

Prior to the Constellation Test challenge.

Ganghu went to a modern bar located near Pyeongtaek Station to change his mood.

It was because he wanted to take the Constellation Test in the most relaxed state.

Although Kanghu’s favorite cocktail, Solarium Burst, doesn’t have a particularly soothing or calming effect.

The unique sensibility and music that can only be felt at the bar always evoked thoughts.

It was kind of like a routine, but it was one of the parts that Kanghu, who is not very stubborn, never gave up.

the road straight ahead.

Still, the vicinity of Pyeongtaek Station, which is quite stable compared to other areas, was generally well-maintained without any problems.

It is the basic of the basics to see bloodstains or a collapsed person even if you enter an ordinary alley.

There were no problems in what would have been a crime zone.

There were hunters who gathered in groups of threes and threes to smoke and whisper, but they didn’t quarrel.

‘The Constellation Test itself is set according to the level of the hunter who challenges it anyway, so the level doesn’t matter.’

There was no level burden.

If the Constellation Test had been set to a specific level, everyone would have leveled up and challenged.

Then it must have been an easy test for the Hunter who had grown enough.

However, since it is customized, the level of difficulty experienced is always the same no matter when you try it.

It was really difficult.

It’s not that the constellations are proposing a constellation test for fishing purposes to get rid of contracts with ‘rogue contractors’.

The data of a 50% survival rate says it all.

One of the two Hunters who wants to get closer to the Constellation that signed the contract with them will die unconditionally.

‘But if you don’t pass the test, your growth will eventually stop. It’s indispensable.’

If you don’t want to be satisfied with the present, your relationship with the main Constellation you contracted with must be even stronger than it is now.

The fourth perk of the constellation that can be unlocked after passing the test?

That too is just the tip of the iceberg.

Constellations of high rank, such as Dimensional Stealer, can provide more perks than you can imagine.

A table at the bar that came in naturally like water flowing.

It’s a bit out of the way, but Kanghu sat down on a particularly well-lit seat.

Then, the bartender with impressive smoky makeup naturally spoke up.

“How may I help you?”

“A glass of Solacium Burst.”

“uh?”

“hmm?”

At that time, Kang-hoo and the bartender’s gaze met and stopped for a while.

They felt they were used to each other. And they both found the reason at the same time.

Kang Hu was the first to speak.

“Benny?”

“Club Hades! Last guest!”

“Amazing.”

“and! Were you okay that day?”

“Thanks to.”

The day when a large-scale kidnapping occurred at Club Hades.

It was Benny, the bartender who made Kang-hoo the last cocktail and ran away from the club.

I was vaguely worried about what would happen to me alone, but fortunately it seemed that I escaped well.

“It’s too strange for a coincidence, isn’t it?”

“It’s like a relationship.”

“and… … . I’ll buy the first drink! It seems like I gave you a Solarium Burst after making it that day, so I always liked it!”

“Cocktails are well made. But the glass was broken so I couldn’t taste it.”

“Oh really?”

“It wasn’t bad luck.”

Ganghoo smiled as he recalled the cocktail glass that had been shattered by an ashtray that had flown from somewhere at the time.

Coincidence that couldn’t happen in a while overlapped, and the cocktail glass was broken in a good way.

how bad i felt

Even now, the memory came back as vividly as if it had just happened.

Ganghu continued.

“I do not decline gifts. Instead, this is a separate tip.”

Kanghu gave her a tip equal to the price of a cup of Solacium Burst.

This is because the process of always giving proper tips to the bartender and listening to this and that information has become a habit.

Unless it’s a club, this kind of tip and information sharing culture is actually closer to nonexistent… … .

Since Kang Hu was so used to living in the shadows, he was familiar with the order and implicit rules of that world.

“Ho Ho. I will not decline.”

“It’s good to see you looking healthy.”

“Iknow, right. I was very lucky. By the way, have you been to the place I mentioned back then?”

The ‘place’ where Benny got lucky was the dungeon located on the 7th basement floor of Club Hades.

At that time, I kept it in my memory, but it was a memory that was fading because I didn’t think I had anything to go to.

Since Club Hades itself is owned by Eclipse in the first place, the possibility of access is close to zero.

I wondered if it would be to the point of taking a risk in a situation where I didn’t even know what it was.

However, judging from the way Benny brings up the story again, it seems that he has more specific information.

“no. It’s because I don’t have any connection with Club Hades. It wouldn’t be easy to access. Is there something?”

“yes. A dungeon on the 7th floor. It is true that there is, but no one has entered.”

“Why? If that’s enough, there won’t be one or two Hunters who will light up their eyes and rush at you.”

A dungeon in a secret location is bound to arouse curiosity in the hunter.

Since the club is owned by Eclipse, of course Eclipse could have sent Hunter.

Is there a reason?

“It looks like you can’t stand it at all. It’s not a level limit, it’s not a limit on the number of people.”

“Have you heard of any rumors?”

“I once sneakily overheard a conversation between two hunters who failed to enter. It seemed like a mana problem.”

“ah.”

Then it was expected.

It seems to be a dungeon where you have to pay a huge amount of mana as an entrance fee.

In official terms, it is called the Limitless Mana Dungeon.

what do you mean

The hunter who wants to enter has to inject a large amount of mana to open the door.

It means that if you can’t handle that much mana, or if you’re a hunter who can’t supply it, you can never enter.

This was impossible with the mana spouting out of the magic stone, so the hunter’s mana was absolutely necessary.

‘It’s the embodiment of unconsciousness.’

Kang Hu smiled bitterly.

It was one of the dungeon concepts that I had only thought of in my head in the original work, and this was implemented properly.

“So it looks like nobody got in. I heard that even the captain couldn’t enter.”

It was an interesting talk.

If it were the captain, he would be talking about Kang Dong-hyun, but if he couldn’t enter… … .

I thought it might be a dungeon that requires at least 500 mana.

‘I think it’s possible for me.’

Kang Hu’s eyes shone.

As long as you can take care of the pain caused by congenital mana hypersensitivity, you can pay the entrance fee.

This is because if you can buy time, you can attract and supply mana to near infinity.

Mana stats don’t matter. It’s a question of whether you can continue to infuse mana.

It was a fairly easy task for Kang-hu, who had virtually unlimited supply of mana due to the activation of mana hypersensitivity.

‘It’s an opportunity.’

A feeling came.

If it was a dungeon that no one could enter, there would be no fear of being pursued once you entered it.

Of course, the problem is that you have to enter a building under the jurisdiction of Eclipse.

Once inside the dungeon, there was no fear of being disturbed by anyone.

And if it’s a limitless mana dungeon, the overall rewards are bound to be very good.

This is because the position is limited, so the internal attack is extremely small, and the overall reward is strengthened.

It wasn’t for nothing that the top hunters intensively searched for hidden dungeons or unknown dungeons.

This is because the first attack, or the first attack after a long time, gives a high reward and experience. There is a reason.

“That’s good information.”

Ganghu held out ten more 50,000 won bills. Here’s an extra tip.

“oh. Does this give you enough information to get a tip?”

Benny quickly took the tip while smiling bashfully. You never know when a fickle customer’s mind will change.

Kang Hu replied with a smile.

“who. It depends on how you use it.”

* * *

the next morning.

The Constellation Test has begun.

Maybe it was after a good night’s sleep, but my condition was better than ever.

【I hope you can prove your dignity.】

At the same time as the beginning, the dimension scavenger sent Kang Hu a restrained but full of expectations message.

Considering her personality, it’s actually more like a fierce cheer.

means to be successful.

‘The first debut stage in front of numerous constellations.’

Kanghu scratched the back of his head slightly at the awkward feeling of being in the middle of a huge stage.

The surroundings were full of light pouring in from all directions, so it was impossible to fully focus on somewhere.

That light symbolizes a constellation.

In other words, the place where Ganghu is located is like the middle of the stage at Jamsil Main Stadium.

Numerous spectators, the Constellations, were watching this.

It is a so-called showcase.

The Constellation Trial can be watched by all Constellations who wish to participate in the viewing process.

It’s kind of like an open exam.

So in this, every move is shared.

【The constellation ‘Master of Mobile War’ sends strong support, saying that it has no doubts about your skills.]

【The constellation ‘Apostle of Justice’ believes in your extraordinaryness. I proudly boast that I am a sub-sponsor.]

【The constellation ‘Brawler of Chaos’ is an unlucky contractor, but I admit that one skill is certain.]

Maybe it’s because many constellations are watching.

Constellations that had a relationship with Kanghu or whose contracts were subjugated due to constellation hijacking each voiced their own voice.

The method was different, but in the end, they were words that acknowledged that Kanghu’s skills were considerable.

Is it because of that?

The beams of light, still dazzling enough now, were much brighter.

It seems that the Constellation’s viewership is increasing.

“after.”

Kang-hoo, who wasn’t nervous for a while, let out a deep breath and relaxed once again.

If you firmly imprint yourself in the eyes of the Constellations now, you will have many things to benefit from in the future.

It’s an important moment.

and.

【Dimensional usurper has summoned a black thought body, ‘Flagellum’, for the test.]

An object announcing the start of the Constellation Test was summoned onto the stage, and at the same time an arrow pointing somewhere off the stage was activated.

【Run with full power to where the red dot is located.】

【You cannot kill Flagellum until you arrive, and his whip will crush your soul.】

“The fugitive and the pursuer.”

The concept was a solid test.
