The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 100

Episode 100: The Solver (1)

* * *

I saw so many names.

To the extent that it is safe to say that Shin Tae-seok is not only special, but also part of them.

I thought the woman next to Shin Tae-seok looked familiar, so I kept looking and a similar person came to mind.

Seonhee Lee.

The woman who saved me from being harmed by bad guys at Gapyeong Station the other day.

It was a woman who looked similar to her. Of course, it wasn’t the same person.

Lee Seon-hee is the original character who awakens about a year from now and takes on the position of a moderate helper to Shin Kang-hoo.

She is an impressive woman with emerald hair and a long cross tattoo engraved around her eyes.

‘Are you doing well? ‘I’m still an ordinary person, so there’s nothing to call it an issue.’

These days, Kang-hu has become greedy for personal connections, so he no longer thinks about these relationships in vain.

That was the reason why I definitely left my mark on Ban Se-young and Jeon Se-hyuk this time.

The same goes for the reason why he and Lee Hyun-seok firmly tied the knot after saving Min Soo-hyun.

Purification Guild Furthermore, the thirteen stars are not enemies that one can fight alone.

It would be nice if they were ‘stupid villains’, but the meticulous modeling of the original made them into smart villains.

Therefore, unless he had god-like power, he could not face the thirteen stars alone.

‘That’s how sincere he was to the thirteen stars. ‘I wanted to make it cool because it’s a group of heroes who will save the world.’

Kang Hu smiled bitterly as he recalled his time as the author of the original work.

In the end, it ended up putting a lot of effort into the villain.

Of course, Shin Kang-hoo, who put in more effort than that, is now trying to break the game.

Anyway, Seonhee Lee remembered the memory, but she didn’t seem to be able to use it in any way right away.

As time goes by and she awakens according to nature, a relationship will naturally arise.

It was three hours later that Kanghu finally decided on the weapon item to purchase.

When I first started looking around, I wondered if it would be better to go to overseas markets rather than domestically.

When I started looking closely, I found that there were quite a few weapon items that intrigued me.

The only thing that was disappointing was that there weren’t that many dagger-type items.

Moreover, there was relatively little interest from hunters.

This is because close range hunters often use long swords and great swords.

Most occupations that use daggers are assassins, and the proportion of hunters among the assassin occupations is not very high.

Just 100 billion won without any bargaining.

The transaction was carried out in the presence of a VIP market manager who was said to have been delegated full authority to Kang Bok-hwa.

The balance of 161.6 billion won was quickly reduced to 61.6 billion won, but it was still a solid amount.

I realized once again how much of a benefit it was to conquer this maze dungeon.

Even if you buy a level 2 weapon item, you still have plenty of money left over.

‘While I’m at it, it might be a good idea to save up about 40 billion won and buy one more level 2 item.’

Maybe that’s why I became greedy.

It no longer seems like 100 billion won is an impossible amount.

This seems to be why it is said that as hunters grow, their spending becomes greater and their economic sense increases.

Greed keeps us looking upward, and to be above it demands a certain level of dignity, fame, and money.

‘It’s a new feeling.’

Ganghu turned his attention to the second-grade weapon item that was completely in his possession.

Because it had a deep purple glow, it seemed like it would attract the attention of those around it, but no one seemed to be interested.

That place is the VIP market.

Purchasing at least one level 2 item is not a very important issue to them.

Kanghu looked at the items.

【Corrupted Faith – Weapon】

【Grade: Level 2】

【Strength +350】

【Stamina +100】

【Anti-demon +100】

【Fortitude +50】

It is a dagger with higher strength 150, stamina 100, and anti-demon 50 than blood flow.

It was well worth the price difference.

I especially liked the part that further raised the anti-demon stat, which is difficult to raise.

Of course, stats are only ‘part’ of the satisfactory aspects.

I lowered my gaze a little more.

There are ‘special effects’ that are granted from level 1 to level 3 items. Here, the identity of the item is determined.

In the case of hemorrhage, the effect was the taste of blood and gluttony.

【Black Tears – The efficiency of all skills increases by 10% and damage increases by 20%.】

“Hmm.”

I was about to burst out in exclamation.

A voice that seemed to be conscious of people and intentionally suppressing emotions came out.

The synergy of the Black Tears effect was really good for Ganghu, who has a variety of skill types and numbers.

For example, the current leap skill that can move 12m at a time becomes 13.2m with the black tear effect.

Considering that many hunters are honing their skill proficiency in order to move an additional 1m or 50cm…

it was a really big change.

It is an easy change that can be made just by wearing the item without any extra effort.

Although the black tears were satisfactory, there were still two more special effects.

【Distortion Awakening – You can absorb some of the stats of the same type of weapon by using corrupted beliefs.

A total of 5 absorptions are possible, and the higher the total stat of the weapon, the higher the absorption amount.

If you bring corrupted beliefs to the weapon you want to absorb, Distortion Awakening will be activated.】

‘It’s a structure that feeds weapons to weapons.’

A model that I often see in games came to mind. This is exactly the form in which the so-called ‘feeding’ expression is used.

Since you said it’s the same series, you’ll have to absorb another dagger.

Since the opportunity is limited to a total of 5 times, I thought that if I was going to feed him, it would be better to give him a good weapon.

Of course, you have to be careful.

Because you can’t give it a level 1 weapon item just to challenge Distortion Awakening. That is rather a loss.

【Corrupted Determination – Displays the locations of 5 items with the set effect ‘Corrupted Determination’.

The item can only be displayed when it is in the dungeon, and it cannot be known if it is owned by a specific person.

The list of five items is as follows: 2 types of dagger, breastplate, necklace, and ring.】

It was a series of interesting contents.

It was an especially timely special effect, as interest in set effects has recently begun to increase.

Since I already have the dagger ‘Corrupted Faith’, I need to find the whereabouts of the remaining four types.

When I looked at the detailed tooltip, the locations of the remaining items were displayed. They all seemed to be somewhere in the dungeon.

‘Is it too good?’

Kang Hu showed a satisfied expression.

Although it is a dagger that deserves a passing grade in terms of basic stats and black tear effect.

In addition, the potential value of Distortion Awakening and Corruption Resolution was added, making it an even more attractive item.

Perhaps, if Corrupted Faith had been a long sword rather than a dagger, it would have been sold right away.

Could it be that we are so grateful that there are not many assassins in the profession, so there is little demand for daggers?

I liked everything from beginning to end, and I also liked the deep purple color, which is the unique glow of corrupted beliefs.

Unless something happens to change it to a level 1 weapon item, it looks like I’ll be stuck with this guy like a lover for a while.

In addition, when the opportunity arises, he plans to leave to find the remaining four items of Corruption Determination.

The faster you can achieve the set effect, the better.

* * *

The move to Daejeon took place immediately after leaving the VIP market.

I happened to be able to catch the last KTX train to Seoul Station. There was no need to delay so I boarded the KTX right away.

– First of all, I sent the dungeon location via text message. I will go to Daejeon Station to pick you up.

“Why? Resting there. “I’ll get off and take a taxi.”

– Are you okay?

“Why are you acting like an amateur? “It’s not even a day or two.”

– That’s because it’s dark.

“How about there?”

– There are production plants nearby that run 24 hours a day, so it’s not very dark.

“Then stay there.”

– all right. rice is?

“Let’s eat a light sandwich before we go in. “I’ll buy it at a convenience store, so there’s no need to buy it separately.”

– I’m a chicken sandwich!

“Submission completed.”

I had a short phone call with Sangmi Yoon on the train heading to Daejeon Station.

Both of them were nocturnal and didn’t sleep much, so they didn’t feel tired at all.

Moreover, Kanghu desperately wanted to reach level 100 quickly as level 100 was just around the corner.

On the other hand, I also wanted to use the corrupted beliefs I purchased from the VIP market in the dungeon.

* * *

Time passed quickly.

Arriving at Daejeon Station, Kang-hoo boarded a safety taxi in front of the station and headed to the dungeon where he was supposed to meet up with Yoon Sang-mi.

Although safe taxis are very expensive, they are driven by ‘hunters’ who have been issued taxi licenses.

Responses to emergency situations and the safety of the relevant means of transportation were also clearly guaranteed.

“Hmm…”

But something was strange.

Immediately after getting off at Daejeon Station.

The whole time I was traveling in a taxi, the phone call I made to Sangmi Yoon was not connected even once.

The location is certain, so just go as planned and you’re good to go.

It was very different from her usual style of answering the phone before the signal was properly connected.

There was no way I was going to sleep because I was tired, but I didn’t think I would throw away my smartphone and do something else.

‘I guess he’s just taking a break.’

I didn’t think it was a big deal.

Isn’t she a hunter who isn’t skilled enough to be swept away by some idiots?

10 minutes after that.

Arrived at the scene.

Ganghu, who was moving to a dungeon about 500 meters away from the main road, stopped for a moment.

This is because I felt a heavy, damp, and very gloomy energy coming from the direction of the dungeon where I was supposed to meet Yoon Sang-mi.

The root itself was clearly magical, but the nature of the magical power itself was very dark.

There is usually only one case like this. This is when there is a warlock-type hunter who is proficient in black magic skills.

Not a sloppy warlock like Kim Mok-hyeon, whom I dealt with before.

I often felt this kind of energy when a level 300 or higher warlock was next to me.

Would it be correct to say that it is an energy that cannot be hidden?

Just as you smell a flower when you are next to it, the nature of your magical power darkens when you are next to a warlock hunter.

Beep.

Kang-hoo pressed the call button again. It was a phone call to Sangmi Yoon.

I hear a beep.

Then, a ringtone is heard from somewhere on the other side. As expected of Yoon Sang-mi, the ringtone was set to the latest song.

But I don’t receive it. It’s not that I don’t receive it on purpose, but it’s probably a situation where I can’t receive it.

“….”

Ganghu walked calmly.

It’s true that her health was in trouble, but at least it didn’t seem like she lost her life or anything like that.

As I narrowed the distance, I felt not only the energy of black magic, but also the unique feeling of Yoon Sang-mi.

What kind of guy is this?

Who is it that has put Yoon Sang-mi in a situation where she cannot fight and is waiting here?

Clearly the guy was waiting for him. It’s as if Yoon Sang-mi is not of particular interest.

Finally, the moment we arrived at the scene.

He was able to make eye contact with the man who had been waiting for him with his arms crossed, with Yoon Sang-mi tied to a wooden pole in a stunned state.

“Okay, this is it. I was waiting for you. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. “Hehehe.”

When Kang-hoo appeared, his expressionless face turned bright red. He even smiled shallowly.

but.

“Are you a fool? “You look like an asshole just from splitting the thread.”

Kang Hoo’s harsh words stuck with me.

It was 100% pure hostility towards the disgusting uninvited guest without any filtering whatsoever.

At that moment, Kang-hu was able to recall the man’s identity half a beat later and look back on his memory.

The problem solver.

Even in the original work, he was a villain among idiots who was modeled as a villain.

Someone more troublesome than Cha So-hee was caught.
