Dungeon Hunter
Chapter 26's

NEW ABILITIES

"So, life or death?"

Eder shaken.

That demonic sword seemed to awaken the ultimate fear of Eder.

However, his feelings of unfairness and hatred far exceeded his fear. He even gave her 1,000 gold, so what kind of treatment was this!?

"I'll do it!" shout Eder.

Eder thought of hitting Kang Oh's head, damn that demon sword, but it would only be beneficial to Kang Oh.

By killing him, Kang Oh will gain experience points and the disturbing mission will be canceled. Plus, he had already received 1,000 gold in advance.

In the end, he didn't have much of a choice.

Moreover, she could not escape now that she was bound to Kang Oh.

"Yes."

His anger subsided and his shoulders drooped.

'I think I should use carrots now.'

Since he had a long history as a gamer, Kang Oh knew very well how to deal with NPCs.

Not only did he use flattery, but he was also used to the proper use of 'carrots and sticks' when dealing with NPCs.

“Not everything is bad. If you continue to help me to the best of your ability, then I will introduce you to someone,” Kang Oh said.

'This will work 100%.'

Kang Oh was sure.

One day, they meet the Beastman, and Kang Oh realizes that Eder is weak against women.

"What do you mean by 'introducing me to someone'?"

"I'll introduce you to a girl."

"A girl?"

"Yes. My sister is very beautiful. They called her the Reincarnation Goddess of Beauty, Erina."

He used the exact same sentence he used to convince Burkan.

"Thank you?" ask Eder.

"Yes, really."

He lied, of course. Not only was her younger sister not Erina's Reincarnation, but she didn't even have a game character.

"I'll do my best."

Eder's attitude has done 180.

'What a simple man.'

Kang Oh grinned.

As expected, old bachelors are vulnerable to women!

That's especially effective for very old bachelors like Eder.

"Read the book and find a clue to the whereabouts of the demon sword, brother-in-law."

Kang Oh points to The Loxia Chronicles and makes sure to call him his brother-in-law.

A brother-in-law.

It was as if he was the husband of his sister.

"I will do my best" answered Eder, standing tall like a military recruit.

"Good."

Kang Oh leaves Altein Central Library.

He threw 1,500 pages of reading into Eder, but walked very lightly.  

* * *

Kang Oh found an NPC that taught supporting skills.

"You have to really understand his mounts to really .." said an old soldier wearing armor.

"Enough with the explanation. Please teach me the skill."

Kang Oh learns the Equestrian skill, which is the equivalent of Arth for SIM, and also learns some other supporting skills.

First aid! Emergency Repair! Create Map! Disarm Trap! Search Path! Make a Book of Monster Pictures!

'This is the most useful skill for killing monsters and exploring hidden dungeons.'

He did not study Lighting, Collecting Herbal Medicines, Fishing, etc. that other users learned to collect pocket money. 

He also did not plan to study it in the future.

After all, he had benefited greatly from cleaning up only two hidden dungeons.

'While the others are collecting dime, I will aim big!'

Rich quick scheme that will destroy one's family!

But this does not apply to Kang Oh, who has Hyper Intuition.

“While others wasted time searching, I went straight to the source,” muttered Kang Oh.

"Well, what are you saying?"

"It's okay. More importantly, I want to learn some skills."

Kang Oh is inside the Swordsman Guild. The martial arts instructor looked at him.

But then again, there is the saying 'although rotten, it remains a herring'. In accordance with Burkan's disciples, Darion was able to kill the Tunnel Snake.

And thus, the Tunnel Snake, which was searching for the corpse of the Black Rat, was annihilated.

"There's enough."

Kang Oh looked around.

The Black Rat or Tunnel Snake did not appear again. They had killed all the monsters around.

"Darion, you take all the trash and Eder ..."

"Yes." Yeah."

"What do you think about summoning an undead monster with this body?"

Summoning undead monsters was a Necromancer skill! Of course, this did not apply to every Necromancer. 

"But you have to keep practicing to get better."

"My level and prowess won't go up, so..."

Kang Oh looks sorry.

Eder was a half-and-a-half Necromancer who could not summon powerful undead monsters.

Instead, I will support you with my bone magic and curse, Mr. Kang Oh, Eder said.

"Md. I-i understand. But when we get a new body for you, like Lich's body, will you be able to summon a powerful undead?" Kang Oh asked.

"A Lich should."

Currently, Eder's abilities were only at level 70 - level 80.

Since Eder could not level up normally, he would eventually become useless at some point.

However, his power will soon increase if he gets a new body, such as changing a car engine.

'Currently, nothing is free.'

He could hire her like a horse for a while!

But in order to keep using it, Kang Oh needs to take care of some things he might need.

'Well, he's at least much better than Darion.'The Loxia Chronicles, silently looking left and right.

Kang Oh decides that as he searches the hidden dungeon, he will also find a way to get a strong body for Eder.

* * *

"Let's go."The Loxia Chronicles gone.

After Darion collects all the trash, Kang Oh continues his hunt.

To use Darion once again!

And thus, Kang Oh's entourage began to search every nook and cranny of the Black Rat Nest.

Countless monsters became experience points for Kang Oh.

The Black Rat's Nest had its own villains; with its many legs, the Cleansing Centipede swept across the Black Rat. 

Sassaac.

Every time it moved, it sounded like a broom was clearing the ground.The Loxia Chronicles, but she had not even seen it.

It has about 70 feet. In other words, it was about level 70.

It spewed out an extremely powerful poison, and its terrifying appearance would give rise to the primitive fear of its victims; a monster that was extremely difficult to deal with!

Of course, it might just be folklore, as it has never been medically proven. 

Nonetheless…

"Certainly that?"

Darion's eyes sparkled.

He initially believed that this centipede was useless, but after hearing about its possible effect on his virility, Darion's eyes were fixed on the centipede. 

Eder was no different.

Worse, he is a spirit.

The two, acting very much like religious fanatics, killed Broom Centipede in the blink of an eye. 

'Oh, they have never shown such strength before.'

Kang Oh picked up the junkyard consisting of the flesh of a centipede and its legs. He gave it all to Darion.

"Did you really give it to me?" Darion asked, looking at him in disbelief.

"Why don't you want it?"

"No, I know."

Darion immediately stored the meat and legs of the centipede.

Eder simply watched the exchange, sucking his finger. 

Later then…

"Do you want to hunt a few more days and get more meat and centipede legs?" Kang Oh said, luring Darion.

Yet…

"No, thank you," Darion flatly refused.

"Sad."

He will not be deceived.

"Is this good for one's stamina as well?" daron asked as he stared at the Black Rat's prey: mushrooms, cockroaches, and earthworms. 

"No."

They gently stopped at the cockroaches and worms and continued on their way. 

Kang Oh's entourage begins exploring the Black Rat Nest once again.

Someday…

They found the Black Rat Leader.

The leader of the Black Rat was much larger than the average Black Rat.

"Stami.." Darion started.

"Give me a break, will you?" Kang Oh interrupted. 

"Ehem."

"And you, stop sucking your skinny fingers. Concentrate on."

There were over a hundred Black Rats behind their leader.

Jjik's?

As soon as the Black Rat Leader noticed Kang Oh's party, they attacked.

The Black Rat leader and his followers rushed forward within the cramped narrow passageway.

'Oh my goodness, they are so many.'

He felt like a Marine firing endless waves of Zergling from inside the bunker.

However, Kang Oh is not a Marine; he is a large and powerful Ultralisk[2].

Eder, with his bone magic, was like a Lurker, whereas Darion was like a Zealot[3].

Ordinary Black Rats, as well as their leaders, were definitely no match for them.

The bodies of the Black Rat kept piling up more and more!

The Black Rat leader fought to the end, but in the end, was even killed; he fell down with his tongue sticking out of his mouth.

But as soon as their battle ended, a group of Cat Hunters appeared, having cat ears and tails.

Most of them were men equipped with bows or swords. However, there was one cat girl.

"Geez!"

The only female catgirl widened her eyes, looking astonished.

"It's all Black Rats!"

She has a cute, child-like face and has pointed ears and a smooth tail.

"Excuse me, handsome gentlemen. May we take some of the Black Rats, her?" asked the cat girl, smiling with her eyes.

'He really said 'his'!'

Darion went to heaven while Eder's shoulders were lifted. 

"You can."

"Yes you can."

Darion and Eder simultaneously replied.

'Oh Boy. Who decided that?'

Kang Oh will not let her have a single one.

“No,” said Kang Oh firmly.

Then, Darion and Eder looked at Kang Oh, their eyes filled with hatred.

He just ignored them.

"Do you want to stay with me for a few more days?" Kang Oh looked at Darion.

"T-No, I'm fine." Darion immediately shook his head.

"Then can we trade this for that, huh?" The cat-eared girl gave him a round decoration.

'You used this as you increased your closeness to the cat tribe.'

It was much more valuable than the flesh or skin of the Black Rat.

"You have a deal."

The hunters took 10 dead Black Rats, and the cat girl lowered her head.

"thank you. Then I'll go now, her."

As he left, Darion and Eder diligently waved and said goodbye.

After he got a considerable distance, the cat girl joined hands with one of the hunters. .

"Darling, it looks like we don't have to hunt today. We can go home early."

"And do what?" said the male cat mischievously

"Ah, who knows?"

Darion, who was watching, looked like he had been betrayed.

"He's married!"Chronicle Loxia . True this time,” Kang Oh pushed the tome towards him and emphasized the word 'right'.

"I'm jealous" said Eder.

He has been the longest bachelor of the three.

Pat.

Kang Oh claps and brings them back to the real world.

"Let's continue."

Kang Oh's entourage then entered the area guarded by the Black Rat Leader. 

The female Black Rat is inside.

Suksacks.

As soon as they finish off the female Black Rat, the search is complete.

Jae Woo heads to the bank, as Yura expected.

[You have completely conquered the Black Rat Nest.]

[You have obtained the title, Butcher of the Black Rat Nest.]

[Back to the Adventurer Guild to receive your reward.]

"I came to pay the debt."

Although he had completed his mission, Kang Oh continued his hunt through the Black Rat Nest.
