The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 104

Episode 104: Skill Upgrade (2)

Meanwhile.

The skill stolen from the boss was ‘Collapse’.

Although I was preoccupied with acquiring the self-immolation technique, the efficiency of the collapse skill was also quite good.

In the case of collapse, a temporary sinkhole could be created when the ground was dirt or sand.

Any terrain that is not hard will do. It didn’t dig a very deep hole, but it was enough skill to create a variable.

* * *

In addition, a few magic stones that were obtained as trophies were given to Yoon Sang-mi.

It wasn’t much, so it was embarrassing to even pay for the dungeon license price.

This is how the long-awaited level 100 was achieved. It’s finally time to think about where to use the rubble.

I’ve been thinking about it from time to time, but this would be the first time I’ve thought about it in earnest.

First, after breaking up with Sangmi Yoon, I took her home to check on her.

This is because she had a house in Tanbang-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon that she was living in as a second house.

My original plan was to take her home, find a hotel, and rest there… but

I changed my mind when I saw that Yoon Sang-mi’s complexion looked paler than I expected.

The problem seemed to be that I woke up after fainting because of the problem solver and continued to attack the dungeon right away in that state.

So I laid her on the bed, and although it was old-fashioned, I soaked a towel in plenty of water and placed it on her forehead.

I didn’t forget to bring along some emergency medicine and hand it over with warm water.

Just because she has dull emotions doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how to care for people, but Yoon Sang-mi seems to be surprising.

“I’m surprised that my brother knows how to do this kind of nursing.”

“I knew you would say that.”

“I guess it took a toll on my body while I was being overpowered by that crazy guy and passed out.”

“I guess I was too hasty in conquering the dungeon.”

“Not at all. I was the one who asked to go in. That’s the way it is. “There’s no need to blame your brother.”

“Anyway, get some rest. “I’ll stay by your side until you wake up.”

“Wow… that’s a really un-oppa-like comment.”

“No matter how cold the blood was, it didn’t freeze. “Why don’t you just sleep while your mouth is fluttering?”

“Hey, then, how are you?”

Although Yoon Sang-mi pretended to be okay and buried herself under the blanket with a humorous expression.

Kanghu could feel it.

I’m definitely in bad shape.

You’re just pretending to be okay, not that you’re okay. At the very least, you need a good night’s sleep.

just as expected.

In less than 10 seconds, Yoon Sang-mi fell asleep peacefully. It was clear that I was very tired.

Kang-hoo, who came out to the terrace for a moment, called Jeong Yu-ri.

Now that I’ve reached level 100 and run out of Mad Solarium, I have a reason to meet K.

I thought about stopping by Osan Station for a while, but for now, I thought it would be better to take care of the necessary things first.

– Hello… Ugh.

The voice of Jeong Yu-ri who answered the phone was exactly like that of a dying person.

Of course, it was 6 a.m. so it wasn’t the right time to make a phone call.

“Did I call too early?”

– No, brother… it’s okay. It’s okay, but uh… just a moment.

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of someone washing their face diligently. It was a moment when I realized the expression of apooupu.

Eventually, Jeong Yu-ri, who suddenly woke up, continued speaking again.

– I don’t know why I feel so tired these days. Is it because I changed the bed?

“Is it okay to talk on the phone?”

– yes I’m fine. Oppa, do you miss grandpa now?

“huh. I need to go to Ground Zero. “There are things I want to buy and things I want to ask about.”

– How about meeting at Seoul Station tomorrow morning and leaving? Today is my grandfather’s closing day.

“What does it mean to close?”

– It is the day to harvest solarium and also the day to organize inventory!

“Ah, then I guess I’ll have to avoid it today at all costs.”

– huh. That’s why I said I’d see you tomorrow morning.

“Shall we take the train from Seoul Station?”

– no! I’ll get a ride! You just have to come to Seoul Station. Is 7 in the morning okay?

“Any problems.”

– Then tomorrow morning at 7am. Pop!

The call ended with Jeong Yu-ri’s playful voice.

I slightly didn’t understand the idea of finding a ride yourself rather than a train.

This is because once you leave Seoul and go to the northern Gyeonggi area, security becomes quite chaotic.

Not only was there an abyss of warlords in the north, but there were also quite a few criminal organizations.

Rather, passing through the jurisdictional area of the abyss was as safe as Seoul. Because it is under Lee Hyun-seok’s control.

However, we had to pass through other areas as well, and this was a lawless area where all kinds of kidnappings and attacks were rampant.

Shooting a bazooka at a moving car on the road wasn’t that surprising.

There’s no way Jeong Yu-ri doesn’t know that, and if that’s the case, she’s looking for a car that can definitely guarantee safety.

Since this requires a lot of money, I was curious who they had in mind.

Perhaps he is receiving help from a mysterious figure, his grandmother.

Anyway, that’s something we’ll see tomorrow.

While Kang-hu was out on the terrace where the cool breeze was blowing, he decided to check out the upgrade of the stone floor as well.

For no reason, there would be no inconvenience if a strong flash of light occurred while the film was held in the living room where Yoon Sang-mi was sleeping.

‘First, let’s take out two of the seven stones. ‘You never know when you’ll get an efficient skill.’

I decided to use only five.

This is because you can later acquire skills that are compatible with the red stone. Reserves are necessary.

The first thing that Ganghu invested the red stone in was Musin’s Yugi, a grade 5 item ring specialized for tenacity.

The original item cannot be upgraded.

However, there was an item that was marked as ‘possible’ in the tooltip, and that was Musin’s Yugi.

Because it is an item related to tenacity, one of the most valuable stats, the investment stone was well worth the investment.

Investing gemstones in an item usually maximizes its value when you level it up to level 2 or level 1.

【Would you like to upgrade to a grade 4 item?】

【This item can be upgraded with red stones, and the total number consumed is 1.】 【

The process of upgrading to a grade 3 item thereafter consumes 2 red stones.】

Ganghuga I immediately pressed OK.

Although it is not possible to pour all the rubble today, there was a clear need to invest in one in advance.

【War God’s Yugi – Ring】

【Grade: 4th grade】

【Toughness + 150】

【You can upgrade one grade higher by using the special material, red stone.】

“Good.”

Thanks to the upgrade, the increase in tenacity stat increased from 50 to 150.

Current tenacity is 495.

Usually, when it exceeds 500, the basic attack damage received from hunters below level 75 is greatly reduced.

It’s almost impossible to even get a scratch with an ordinary attack rather than a skill.

“To get to level 1, you need 2, 3, 4… a total of 9 groups. Well, let’s take this step by step.”

Although the efficiency may seem low right now, Kang-hoo thought of it as an investment for the future.

This is enough to prepare for the future.

Now is the time to bring about immediate and tangible change.

What Kanghu chose right away without any hesitation was self-defense – level 2.

This is an essential skill for Ganghu who wants to minimize defensive movements or psychological investment in defense.

【Self-defense using 1 red stone – Do you want to upgrade to level 3?】

Small messages were printed one after another, but all unimportant information was deleted.

The upgrade occurred immediately.

The skill tooltip changed drastically with the disappearance of one keystone, making you wonder if it could be this simple.

When I look at these aspects, I get the feeling that Hunter’s system really resembles the game system.

【Self-Defense – Level 3】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max]

【Passive skill. When activated, it takes 1 hour to reactivate.】

【You can activate self-defense to neutralize all attacks from the outside for 0.5 seconds.】

【You can reactivate stage 2 using 33% of your mana.】

“Absolute invincibility of 0.5 seconds. What this means is that it is possible to neutralize two attacks non-selectively.”

Ganghu, who understood the tooltip, nodded.

This means that you can block any attack for 0.5 seconds, and after that you can block two attacks.

If the word ‘absolute’ is added to an item or skill judgment, it is unconditionally beneficial. That’s a huge benefit too.

Of course, it is a skill that requires waiting time in units of time and cannot be used every time.

It seemed like it would be really useful in desperate moments or when a strategic counterattack was needed.

It is also possible to believe in the invincibility judgment and boldly attack. This is very strong insurance for an assassin.

Next, I invested one red stone in the hallucination skill.

In the first place, it was a very useful skill as it had an absolute hallucination inducing effect of 0.2 seconds.

Once the upgrade was completed, the absolute induction time of hallucinations increased from 0.2 seconds to 0.75 seconds.

An increase of 0.55 seconds.

It lasts less than 1 second, so you might think it’s really short.

In that short moment, a lot happens in the world of hunters.

A light injury will lead to a deep injury, and a deep injury will lead to death from which there is no return.

Because Kang-hu knew the meaning of that time so well, the increase was felt to be large.

Next was the shadow walk.

Originally, you could move the location by selecting only one of the five shadows.

Through the upgrade, all remaining shadows were utilized.

From the opponent’s point of view, one must pay attention to the positions of all five shadows as well as the main body.

It’s going to be a pain in the ass. Of course, it is exciting for Kang-hu, who can prey on such an opponent.

And the remaining one was invested in self-immolation.

Even by investing just one red stone, the clone’s skill firepower judgment increased from 33% to 50%.

The ultimate goal is to enable both the alter ego and the main body to produce 100% firepower.

Although it is still a story of the distant future, Kang-hu believed that one day he would be able to make it a reality.

“after. “It feels like all the old congestion is being swept away.”

Kang-hu, who had finished investing in and upgrading all the red stones except for the two extra red stones, let out a hot breath.

I unconsciously held my breath while carefully examining the descriptions of the changed skills.

With the current configuration, it seemed like it would be much easier to compete with Jeon Jong-du or a problem-solving level hunter.

Of course, this is just an expectation.

If you look up a little and think of a guy like Kang Dong-hyun, there is a part of you that gets frustrating again.

However, no matter how Kang Dong-hyun is, he can never ignore the invincibility judgment and break it.

Anyway, I felt good because I felt like I had used all the stones well. There will be meaningful gains.

But right then.

【The ‘Master of Yabawi’ constellation offers you the opportunity to spin the wheel without a hit.】 I was so preoccupied with

something else that I had never paid attention to, but now I have finally properly checked the alarm from the constellation message.

The message that caught my eye right away was left by the constellation, the master of Yabawi.

okay. The time has come to turn the wheel of fortune.
