Episode 58
Chapter 58. [Citrine Bracelet of Purification and Healing +3] (2)
Two for each of the four Hunters.
To take care of their right and left wrists.
[Citrine Bracelet of Purification and Healing +3].
Eight were completed in an instant.
“Huh, huh-ugh…!”
Following that,
twelve magic items that had been carefully stored in the vault in the guild building basement appeared.
As soon as they were in his hands, Kang Hoon enhanced the magic items.
“Armor equipment for the upper body.”
Straight to +3 grade.
“Pants equipment for the lower body.”
Without rest, consecutively.
“Shoes equipment for the feet.”
Following that, he discovered even the yellow earrings that had been judged as ‘completely useless’
and were crumpled up in a corner.
“Oh? This is amber, isn’t it? You know that when they say ‘amber reduces swelling,’ it’s not the edible amber but this amber stone, right? Then it should also remove poison. If you haven’t pierced your ears, let’s pierce them now and wear these.”
Trivia knowledge as a bonus.
Before anyone could stop him, he slammed it with +3 enhancement.
“P-Park Kang-hoon Hunter…!”
“The pace is too fast!”
Truly a rampage.
The enhancement rampage knew no stopping.
Until there were no more items to enhance!
In less than 30 minutes,
precious magic items completely covered the conference room table.
Enough had piled up for all the guild war team members to wear on their entire bodies and still have leftovers.
It happened as quickly as a crab closing its eyes in a bloody storm!
The Hunters were mentally dazed.
“Uhm… We were just going to take turns wearing one enhanced necklace…”
“You’re telling us to complete the entire poison resistance detoxification set…?”
‘Set effect.’
It activates when wearing two or more magic items of the same attribute.
However, realistically, even a two-piece equipment set is difficult.
Due to economic circumstances, option attributes, characteristic issues, etc.
Hunters who can secure set effects are rare.
However, Kang Hoon is the world’s only Enhancement Specialist.
The moment they wrapped his grace around their entire bodies.
【 4-piece set effect activated! ‘Detoxification Equipment Set’ 】
Cheongjeong’s professional Hunter team, who had been rolling for 4 to 8 years.
They encountered a status window they were seeing for the first time since awakening.
【 4-piece set characteristic unlocked! [Ten Thousand Poison Immunity]! 】
And they completely lost it.
The ultimate characteristic of detoxification item series.
[Ten Thousand Poison Immunity].
Defense against all existing toxins, including mutant toxins!
A truly perfect characteristic that blocks even one-in-ten-thousand variables!
“…”
“…”
“…”
As if they had lost their souls,
everyone in the conference room fell silent.
With their eyes wide open, staring blankly into space.
More precisely, gazing as if enchanted by the [Ten Thousand Poison Immunity] characteristic.
“Is this… a dream…?”
Among them, Kang Hoon rubbed under his nose with his index finger.
Feeling awkward, he put one hand behind his back and lightly shrugged his shoulders.
And he greeted them.
“Have a good trip to the dungeon.”
* * *
South Korea’s guild rankings,
1st place Taecho, 2nd place Seorabeol, 3rd place Paryeondan.
Those rankings remain unchangingly fixed.
Occasionally 2nd and 3rd place flip-flop to some degree.
The three guilds have never fallen out of the rankings so far.
Truly South Korea’s top guilds in name and reality.
As much as they are stable ranking guilds.
‘Guild war’ Gates are always their share.
When Gate incidents occur, receiving government designation is natural.
This year is the same.
With only one variable,
except that the guild assigned to the fourth Gate is ‘Cheongjeong.’
“Does it make sense that ‘Cheongjeong’ is attached behind our guild?”
“It doesn’t suit them. Just look at how their name sticks out awkwardly. They’re no different from loaches.”
Arrogant Hunters who refer to themselves as ‘dragons.’
From their perspective, ‘Cheongjeong’ is very annoying.
“Why did the Enhancement Specialist choose such a guild?”
A massive axe large enough to split a kraken’s leg and still have room left.
While swinging the threatening weapon like handling a toy hammer, Paryeondan’s leader grumbled.
Enhancement Specialist.
That term refers to Park Kang-hoon.
“I heard he went there after rejecting our guild’s recruitment offer. Thanks to the Enhancement Specialist, ‘Cheongjeong’ gets to butt into the guild war.”
Tsk. The voice spat out while clicking his tongue had an edge to it.
It was true that all three guilds with fixed rankings had attempted to recruit Park Kang-hoon.
The fact that Kang Hoon had rejected all their offers at the time.
That was also an undeniable fact.
“Abandoning the opportunity to handle S-rank Hunters’ weapons and following just an A-rank Dealer. Does this make sense?”
“What’s the point of enhancing those low-grade bastards.”
While making such crude jokes without hesitation.
“Cheongjeong. There’s Seri among the A-ranks there. She’s pretty cute, isn’t she?”
“He followed a woman? Tsk! How pathetic.”
“Where do items matter? Even a famous sword chooses its wielder.”
Caressing the item known as the world’s ‘famous sword’, the ‘Immortal Sword’, an S-rank Dealer also chimed in.
“An Enhancement Specialist can’t do anything alone. Right?”
“Exactly. That Park Kang-hoon guy is just a money-grubbing merchant in the end.”
The reason for their hurt feelings wasn’t just because Park Kang-hoon chose the ‘Cheongjeong’ Guild.
It was also because the Cheongjeong Guild members, who got to participate in the guild war thanks to him, were running late.
All S-ranks in South Korea (except for Park Kang-hoon) had gathered in front of the Gate.
To think that a guild whose highest rank was merely A-rank would make them wait – their pride was wounded.
“These scrubs are even late.”
“Acting up when they barely squeezed in. Ugh.”
In the end, they chose not to wait for ‘Cheongjeong’.
They decided to depart first.
Going to their assigned Gate entrances, showing bright fake smiles in front of the reporters.
While saying through ventriloquism:
“We’ll be lucky if they don’t drag down the overall guild war score.”
In their eyes, Cheongjeong was just a low-grade guild, a so-called ‘scrub’.
No matter how much Park Kang-hoon was S-rank.
His profession was merely an Enhancement Specialist.
His influence inside the dungeon would be minimal.
On the other hand, S-rank combat classes’ abilities were absolute anywhere.
“Cheongjeong should just pray they don’t all die. If those bastards all get killed and the Gate breaks, we’ll have to clean up the mess.”
Saying this, the S-rank Hunters showed bitter smiles.
Deep down, they all wanted ‘Cheongjeong’ to collapse.
Since failing the guild war mission would be a national disaster.
If Cheongjeong collapsed like that.
Park Kang-hoon would finally realize his situation too late.
“That being an S-rank Enhancement Specialist is worthless without S-rank Dealers.”
Even if Park Kang-hoon was late today like Cheongjeong, they planned to be generous about it.
As long as he transferred guilds later, even if late, to work for them, the S-rank Dealers.
* * *
Even after all three guild teams had departed, it was 10 minutes later.
Four members of ‘Cheongjeong’ team finally arrived in Apgujeong.
In a serious and stern atmosphere, four team members stood in front of the Gate with expressionless faces.
With the recruitment of the new S-rank Hunter, Park Kang-hoon.
Just as the guild ranking had risen instantly.
There were many eyes watching the rising star, ‘Cheongjeong’ itself, with wariness.
“This is Cheongjeong’s first time participating in a guild war, right?”
“Tsk. Even so, they only have one S-rank Enhancement Specialist.”
“Park Kang-hoon didn’t come?”
“What would he do even if he came? He’s not a Dealer, he’s a crafting class.”
“The ones actually going into the dungeon don’t look like much. Their equipment looks shabby too?”
While many onlookers judged and mocked them by their appearance.
There were also numerous reporters who came out with cameras and microphones for coverage.
“This is NBC! The Rankers from the other three guilds have already departed for the Gates! Guild ‘Cheongjeong’s’ departure has been delayed by 10 minutes – are you that confident?”
Sharp attention pouring down.
Even at the center of it all, Guild Master Cheong Jeong-kwon remained calm.
Just watching the Hunters slowly advancing toward the Gate.
“For the safety of all citizens, we will faithfully complete this mission and return.”
After making such a declaration in front of the broadcast cameras.
The Team Leader first stepped toward the Gate, beyond which pale light was emanating.
One by one, two, three, even the youngest.
The four Hunters instantly disappeared into the Gate.
Now the broadcast microphone was thrust in front of Cheong Jeong-kwon’s mouth.
“Guild Master! How do you see the chances for this mission?! Do you have anything to say to the team members who departed?”
Faced with the pouring attention, Cheong Jeong-kwon said with a subtle expression:
“Something to say to the team members… Well. ‘Calm down a bit’?”
A puzzling answer beyond measure.
“?”
The broadcast reporters all tilted their heads in unison.
* * *
Meanwhile.
The four team members who arrived at the ‘Slime’s Poison Swamp’.
They confirmed the Gate entrance melting away like snow behind them.
A perfectly blocked interdimensional space.
Where no worldly gaze could enter.
In that dangerous and sinister world.
“…Huuuuuu.”
The Team Leader’s stern expression was the first to crumble.
“Sssssup~! Haaaaah!”
Forcefully inhaling the air filled with floating slime poison gas, the Team Leader burst into laughter.
“Eheheh… Ehahahaha! Refreshing! Hihihit! The air is refreshing!”
[Ten Thousand Poison Immunity].
The characteristic of the ‘4-piece set’ he wore for the first time in his Hunter life.
The dopamine from that amazing characteristic’s precious item was too great.
The excessive dopamine had broken his brain.
What about the three younger team members?
“Kiyathooooo!”
“Diving into the poison swamp!”
Especially the youngest’s mood was at its peak.
“Holding breath and diving into the poison swamp~!”
The terrible ‘poison swamp’ that melted not just any skin.
But muscles and bones as well.
The youngest threw his body into it.
Three somersaults in the air, then gracefully.
A perfect dive entering fingertips first!
Splash~!
“Right. The youngest was a swimmer before awakening, wasn’t he?”
“What’s my score~!”
“Puuuuu! Kyaa, Team Leader! The swamp temperature is perfect! It’s totally refreshing!”
A poison swamp with green bubbles boiling up.
All four Hunters threw their bodies into it.
A swamp of death that couldn’t be crossed to reach the exit.
Contact with the poison would cause organs to melt away, leading to death.
Even if you endured without touching it, the gas in the air would rot your lungs and kill you.
However.
“Take this!”
The Team Leader splashing poison water at his precious teammate’s face was just the beginning.
“Ooh. This poison swamp’s color looks just like green juice, doesn’t it?”
Emboldened by the [Ten Thousand Poison Immunity] effect that the equipment provided.
Even the team members were scooping poison into cups they’d brought.
A mission as joyful and blissful as a trip to a valley!
A feast of high-grade items they’d never experienced before.
Thanks to Park Kang-hoon’s grace.
“Puhehehehehe!”
The Hunters had gone crazy.
