The dark keeper was at least three to four meters tall. But that was not a problem. Originally, Dokja defeated it while still in his early phase. So Ken knew that he wouldn't face much problem.
The dark keeper started to say some weird things Ken didn't understand, but he knew what they meant as he read ORV.
"Hey. Bitch. First of all, I'm not gay, so I won't be bearing your kid. Second of all, I'm not into tentacle plays…"
Ken paused for a bit before speaking up again. "Uhm… I think I have watched them… quite a bit… a lot actually..."
[Your ether affix has been changed to Holy.]
Ken quickly covers the distance between him and the monster, while it's still speaking in a weird language he can't discern.
"But I still am not into that."
[Dark star weapon aura (lvl 1) has been activated.]
With a giant surge of dark aura covering the entire sword as well as golden light enveloping it, Ken slashed the monster with all his might.
The attack slashed through the body of the monster– leaving it in death bed. Even in the original ORV, the dark keeper Dokja had killed was on deathbed with just a single slash. And not to forget, Dokja at that time was much weaker than Ken in every way.
It was a bit hard to move around, as there were still twenty kilograms of total weight in both of his wrists. As well as another twenty in both of his ankles. Which made his movements slower and harder to execute.
Even on death bed, the keeper was still babbling some things Ken couldn't understand. Ken slowly headed towards its head and stabbed it.

'... Are all of the constellations from absolute good factions just like Uriel when it comes to demon kings?'
Ken was a bit confused, since that is how Uriel acts like when it comes to Dokja most of the time.
But this was the constellations from Eden, who were acting like this. Just because he killed a vassal of a demon king and wasn't afraid of the curse or being hunted down.
But here lies the problem. Ken wasn't that fond of Eden after reading the novel. Especially Michael, who was a fallen angel and a hypocrite to the core, yet a part of Eden.
To put it simply, Ken didn't like Eden that much because of their hypocrisy. Though, even he knew that this world is something where hypocrisy is a must if you want to survive.
After that, Ken also takes out a marble like ball from the inside of the dark keeper. It was the dark keeper's nucleus.
Putting it aside in his bag. Ken gets out of the tunnel and starts heading towards Jongno station again.
But this time, his destination was not Jongno, but further away. When he was making his fanfic, he just thought it would be funny if there's two extra dark keepers.
Which is how they came to be. And just like last time, he used himself as bait to the ground rats in order to get to the other dark keeper again.
After arriving, he shot the ground rats and headed towards the tunnel. The tunnel was exactly like the other one.
Ken started to run as he didn't want to waste time and was too excited to be lax either.
Just as he jumped and entered the room where the dark keeper as well as the chest are supposed to be. He was met with a surprise.
An intense pain, incomparable to anything he had ever felt. His head as well as his entire body was going numb and he was losing strength in his body.
He slowly looked towards his leg and saw that a tentacle had pierced through his leg. He cut it off with his shaking hand and took the tentacle out.
When Ken looked in front of him, there was the other dark keeper, standing with a massive killing intent. It had already killed off other ground rats here.
'Is that bastard awake because of Asmodeus?'
Ken healed his leg back and stood in front of the keeper– staring at its eyes. He could feel a strange pressure working on him. It was a skill of the keeper that would put this pressure on its opponents.
The moment the monster tried to attack him again, Ken activated both the property of the celestial sword and the dark star weapon aura as he threw the sword straight at the keeper's head. Which immediately executed it.
[Dark star weapon aura (lvl 1) > Dark star weapon aura (lvl 2).]
[The demon king, Devil of lust and fury has been notified of your presence again.]
[Demon king, Devil of lust and fury is extremely angry at you for killing yet another vassal.]
[The curse placed upon you has been strengthened.]
Ken knew what the curse that was placed upon him was. It was a curse of pain multiplier. If the previous multiplier of his pain was five times, then this time, it will be twice as worse.
It was already painful to have injuries in his body. After the previous curse, just the piercing was about to make him faint. If not for the fact that he quickly dulled his pain receptors, he really would have fainted. And now that it's stronger, he couldn't even fathom what this is going to do.
[Some constellations from absolute good are moved by you retaliating against a demon king despite the risk of another curse.]
[Some constellations from absolute good have gifted you 10,000 coins.]
[Constellation The masochist of Joseon is sad that you are not using his sword.]
'These guys sure are being dramatic.'
He started to take out the nucleus from the keeper again as he thought about why he had made the curse a pain multiplier in his fanfic, which had now transferred to here too.
He was simply regretting his choice as a sadist. It was not like he was exactly a sadist, but for some reason he would always become sadistic when it came down to making his characters suffer.
After that goes towards the chest and opens it. Which in return gives him another mana recovery bracelet, which he wears in his left hand.
After that, he takes off his gloves and puts them in the chest again. After that, he takes out the nucleus of the two dark keepers and the nucleus of the arachne.
Ken had prepared as many things as possible, since there was no guarantee that the new grade will be all that good.
"Whoo… let's get this over with."
Ken puts all of the nucleus, as well as the celestial sword inside the chest and closes it, waiting for the readjustment. It was a shame to give up the celestial sword, as it was still an S grade and gave him the ability to use the holy ether affix.
But he really didn't need it, as he has Jeung.
[The grade of the item Eclipse gloves is being readjusted.]
[Using the items used in order to readjust the item Eclipse gloves.]
[The grade of the item Eclipse gloves has been readjusted.]
As Ken opens the chest and takes out the gloves before wearing them, his happiness knows no bounds.
[Eclipse gloves.]
[Grade: SSS.]
[Description: Its durability scales with the amount of mana the wearer has. Its damage reduction increases by 1% for every 10 points in mana the wearer has.
The gloves can absorb shock and release them at the user's will with a cooldown of every five minutes. The gloves can absorb 500 newtons worth of shock for every 1 point in mana.
The gloves increase strength and agility by 2 when worn.]
Ken was extremely shocked and happy seeing the effect as well as the grade of the item. Which was justified, considering the amount of items he had used, not forgetting their grades.
Ken slowly started to walk out of the room and start heading towards Jongno station while humming on his own.
