chapter 12
Club Hades (1)

Ganghu made a curious expression when he saw the information about the Constellation contracted with Yoon Sang-mi.
【Gale sword agent】
[A constellation with a neutral orientation. Supports the use of the power of the wind for all sword attacks.]
To put it simply, it is a swordsman that causes a sword wind.
It’s not as high as the Aura Blade in fantasy novels, but in addition to attacks using swords, it can confuse opponents by creating wind.
The reason why Ganghu was curious was because the constellation of the sword sword was not unfamiliar to him.
It was one of the ideas that came to me while I was living as the original author. I wish there was a constellation like this.
Then it was clear that his unconscious was naturally reflected somewhere in the world.
As Kang-hu was looking at the battlefield again without a word, Sang-mi Yoon pointed in one direction and said,
“Bastard will be pushed.”
“no. That’s because the bastard gave space to Pyeongjeong on purpose. It’s lure.”
The judgments of each other’s situation were mixed.
In fact, no matter who wins, the bad guy always wins.
Is that why?
The interest that had flared up in the feeling that the charter had been decided to some extent cooled down.
Yoon Sang-mi may have had the same thought, and asked Kang-hu as she brushed off her pants and stood up.
“It looks like a handsome vampire from a movie. Your face is very pale Are you sick?”
I don’t know if he’s handsome, but I always thought he was pale. The effect of congenital mana hypersensitivity would be great.
“You always have to look sick.”
did not deny
Even in the original work, the treatment method to solve congenital mana hypersensitivity was not found until the ending.
Of course, it was resolved in a different way.
Because Xin Kang-hu died. It’s liberation rather than a solution.
“Where are you going now?”
“Daejeon Station.”
“······oh! really? I was about to go too.”
“Seeing that the reaction was delayed by one beat, I don’t think it was the destination from the beginning.”
“no. it’s close I was thinking of going. I never thought I would meet my companion like this by chance!”
he’s an odd character
Hunters usually do not act friendly unless trust has been established for a long time.
It’s a cruel world, so of course he’s reluctant to accompany or ride with him. But it wasn’t Yoon Sang-mi.
‘It’s probably because he’s so confident in his skills.’
If you are confident in taking care of your body, there is no problem even if you go around with an open mind.
It’s not uncommon for people to believe someone and then get stabbed in the back and die or get kidnapped.
But it doesn’t matter if you have power.
“Then take the safety bus and move. I like the station side.”
Ganghu pointed to the calm hunters who were caught up in Bastard’s lure and started to retreat to Osan Station.
It looks like Corksonny is going to drag the battle into a protracted battle, using the subway structure as cover.
The safety bus is a bus where a number of armed hunters, especially those who handle magic bullets, stand as guards.
Safety while moving can be guaranteed as much as expensive fares.
Kang-hoo decided to choose a convenient method.
* * *
No running bus.
Yoon Sang-mi, who was sitting next to me, fell asleep holding the sword like a teddy bear.
Often, his bent neck would touch Ganghu’s shoulder, but Kanghu didn’t even look at him. Of course, I didn’t push it either.
limited space given.
Ganghu looked at the items he had obtained after killing Mokhyun Kim.
I wore it, but I couldn’t check the composition.
【Molly’s Maniche – Gloves】
【Rating: Level 5】
[With the one-handed cotton glove item, you can immediately retrieve one ‘recognition weapon’ located within 5m.]
[It is assimilated to the color and shape of the hand as soon as it is worn, so the shape of the glove cannot be easily guessed from the outside.]
‘I think linking it to the dagger would be the best.’
It is an item that reduces the burden of throwing daggers.
This is because it is possible to keep the enemy in check by throwing and retrieve a dagger that has fallen or is stuck with a simple hand gesture, rather than pulling it out by hand.
Dramatically reduces waste of copper wire in weapon recovery.
【Asura’s Eye of Wisdom – Breastplate】
【Rating: Level 5】
【Mana +50】
【However, you can use the conversion option to change it to +50 HP. Switching waiting time is 24 hours.】
‘There was a corner to believe.’
I could understand why Kim Mok-hyun was full of confidence in battle. I received 50 mana stat support.
If there was no conversion option, Kanghu wouldn’t have been very impressed. Because the thirst for mana is small.
However, with the conversion option, the value of Asura’s wisdom has changed.
It is the best component.
I finished the conversion right away.
If I hadn’t looked closely, I would have lost my stamina.
one left now.
【War God’s Game – Ring】
【Rating: Level 5】
【Fitness +50】
【You can upgrade one level up by using the special material, Chrysidian.】
A toughness that greatly increases defense against physical attacks.
The value was high because it was unconditionally many.
In addition, since the ring is worn on ten fingers, it is less burdensome to wear.
In addition, we decided to sell the two items that increase magic power as they are unnecessary stats for overlapping parts.
“…”
After checking, Ganghu looked around and saw that several hunters on the bus were also asleep.
The guards kept looking out the windows, and several motorbikes with bastard seals came and went.
But when he knew he could blow a hole in his forehead if he mishandled his guard, he walked off the road.
‘Should I go to Seoul?’
Suddenly, Seoul came to mind.
Excluding all the greed for dungeons and leveling up, there is actually no place as safe as Seoul.
There, even if you drop your wallet while walking, no one will touch it.
If you touch it, it’s all about finding the owner. Or the Hunter Magistrates.
However, the problem is the murderous price of over 20,000 won for a thin Coke can.
It’s a price for safety.
‘Still, wild beasts are better than beasts in the zoo.’
Ganghu organized his thoughts.
The one who has smelled blood smells better, and the one who has fought is the way to sting one more time.
thirteen stars.
If you want to have the ability to surpass all the collaborators of the cunning demon king, a second of meaningless peace is a waste.
coo kung!
“Huh! Churup!”
As the bus shuddered once on the bump, Yoon Sang-mi, who was in a deep sleep, hurriedly stole the bottom of her mouth.
If I could be sure that I was safe even for a moment, I would fall into a deep sleep with peace of mind…
It was a cross-section of the reality of the hunters living in this world.
A world in which the value of life has fallen.
* * *
Arriving at Daejeon Station, Kang-hu planned to meet Lee Ye-rin with Yoon Sang-mi.
It was too late at night, and Lee Ye-rin was also doing outside work, so the timing was not right.
So the appointment was pushed back to the next morning, and naturally the night time was vacant.
I stopped by a well-known bar near Daejeon Station, but for some reason, it was closed today.
“Don’t wander for nothing, why don’t you refresh yourself with a cocktail at our fight club?”
Thanks to that, Piki, who was soliciting customers nearby, caught Ganghu and Yoon Sang-mi.
I just wanted to have a drink, and I was confident enough to take care of myself in case of emergency.
Kang-hoo and Yoon Sang-mi headed to a nearby underground fight club.
The name of the club was Hades.
Club Hades, where the entrance starts from the 3rd basement floor, had more people than expected.
On the special stage that was already built in the center, the hunters’ ‘fight’ was starting.
The names of the two were written on the large monitor installed, and the unit of money was updated under it, so it seemed that it was a death match.
It is a structure in which the hunter and the bettors who win the stakes staked on the dead hunter take it.
“Can I dance?”
“Whatever you do.”
Ganghu sent a gesture saying he didn’t care.
I only accompanied her, it wasn’t a perfect companion.
By the time she moved to the stage and fell in love with dancing.
Ganghu ordered a cocktail that he wanted to drink from the moment he entered the special cocktail bar.
“Solarchyum Burst.”
“Ohh? Are you drinking this?”
“Isn’t it made to drink?”
“Actually, it’s more like an assortment. Sorakium tastes a bit… Isn’t it? Kuk-kuk.”
The red-haired bartender with impressive smoky makeup shook his shoulders and smiled.
The taste of Solacium was obviously difficult to compare openly. It’s a taste that only adults know.
“are you okay. Because I like it.”
Ganghu offered it to her with 100,000 won more than the original price.
It’s a tip.
At these negative fight clubs, bartenders often sell pretty useful information.
Of course, the lottery is strong.
If the bartender knows little, it may come out with useless information that is just about to get into trouble.
So, with the idea of scratching a lottery ticket, there were many cases where I casually tipped and listened to stories.
she asks.
“Is this our first meeting?”
nod unspoken answer.
“My name is Benny.”
Benny. It’s a common pseudonym, so it’s a name you’ll likely forget after a few days.
Benny eagerly made a cocktail according to the recipe, bowing his head a little more to Kang-hoo.
It was a very revealing outfit, so just bending down was a pretty dizzying sight.
Kang-hu was looking at Benny’s face to his surprise. As if he didn’t see any reason to look away.
Benny let out a slightly absurd laugh, but well, there are a lot of as*xual people, so I thought it might be like that.
It’s time to tip anyway.
“There is a story that there is an entrance to the dungeon on the 7th floor of the basement of Fight Club, which is unknown to the outside world. Some people went in, but never came out?”
The building apparently had up to the 6th floor underground. It was the same when I looked at the milestones in the lobby and the elevator buttons.
The dungeon was an advantage, so it wasn’t an absurd statement.
Perhaps it was kept secret because the dungeon was an ‘open dungeon’ that anyone could enter at any time.
It’s always open, so you have to be able to block the inflow so you can control the inside of the dungeon when needed.
Ganghu swallowed his words as he was about to ask why he wanted to tell him about it.
Nine out of ten times what the bartender says is bragging or gossip. You just have to listen in moderation.
“And there is talk that Blue Moon will soon be merged with Eclipse. But if that happens…”
Right then.
Wow Changchang! Clink!
At the same time, the sound of glass breaking was heard here and there.
Then, among the crowd full of clubbers, a sizable group of men revealed their sleeves.
An organization made of seals in the shape of three swords lined up in an oblique line. It was the Eclipse.
“hmm.”
I could roughly guess what the situation was.
This is a fight club run by the relatively moderate Blue Moon organization.
