The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 112

Episode 112: Stealing the opportunity (2)

Suppressing addiction.

It is an effect that protects against addiction.

Of course, the addiction is not cured, so you have to take an antidote at some point to get rid of the addiction.

However, it prevents addiction, so it is safe to say that it is semi-immune.

Inhibits recovery.

This happens when you are attacked by an opponent who sees this effect.

This effect makes any recovery mechanism ineffective if the opponent’s total health is more than 75%.

For example, a hunter with a total health of 100 took damage from Ganghu, who had a recovery-suppressing effect, and his health became 80.

At this time, the health is more than 75% of the total, so potions and recovery skills do not work.

The recovery suppression time was 30 minutes, which was not long, but was very long in the special environment of battle.

This meant a lot.

Usually, skilled hunters meticulously restore their stamina from the beginning when their stamina begins to drop.

This is because there are very few skills that dramatically increase stamina all at once.

Even if there was one, it was only possible if there was a healer with a named title by his side.

However, if you were in a ‘debuff’ state with recovery inhibition, it was impossible to attempt recovery from the beginning.

The high point from which recovery can be attempted is significantly lowered. To that extent, you become psychologically chased.

‘Because there are many hunters who use addiction skillfully. Suppressing addiction means a lot.’

Suppressing recovery is good, but Kang-hu evaluated suppressing addiction more highly.

Thanks to this, Ganghu no longer needs a healer.

Usually, their role is to provide immunity or antidote poisoning.

If you are immune from the beginning, there is no need to ask for a healer’s help. Kang-hoo also has a way to recover his stamina.

It seemed like it would be a good idea to draw a red line at ‘Healer’ among the occupations that would be needed for a partner in the future.

To put it bluntly, if you have it, it’s just a burden and an experience point thief.

Of course, if you were a combat healer like Saint Elizabeth of Salvation, it would be a completely different story.

Anyway, as I upgraded the necklace significantly this time, my tenacity naturally exceeded 500.

To be exact, 545.

With this number, it can be considered that there is almost no physical attack damage received from hunters below level 75.

It is a rule of survival of the strong, born out of the concept of stats influenced by the system.

The skill’s ‘magic’ damage will come in as is, but the ‘physical’ damage will be negligible.

‘The knife-wielding brats can now be safely ignored.’

Ganghu looked satisfied.

In the low-level section, there are particularly many swordsmen. As there are a lot of them, there are also a proportionally large number of bad quality ones.

In the future, when you are involved with such guys, you will be able to see the full effect of the tenacity stats you have steadily built up.

After receiving a certificate for the Breath of the God Necklace from Yu Qinghua and an official warranty from the God Tu Guild.

By the time we got to the elevator to say goodbye. She cried again.

“excuse me.”

“yes.”

“Aren’t you going to think seriously about our guild?”

“Yes, I don’t want to think about it seriously yet.”

“Are you too firm?”

“For those who are familiar with the light and dark side of the Shintu Guild, you will know that it is a place you don’t really want to be in.”

Yu Cheong-hwa’s expression hardened for a moment at Kang Hu’s honest answer, but then softened.

Kanghu knew.

If you join the Shintu guild, you will be given a lot of support, but you will never be able to leave the guild.

Contrary to its appearance, the Shintu Guild was a guild with a strong obsession with talent.

In particular, guild master Go Cheon-yeong was a idiot among idiots, which was acknowledged in the original work.

His principle was that if you can’t have talented people, you can’t keep them alive to do good things for others.

It was so dark and so dirty that even the Purification Guild could not show their business cards in front of the Shintu Guild.

Yu Cheong-hwa wondered if Kang Hu knew about Go Cheon-yeong’s antics, which were kept strictly confidential.

I thought that wouldn’t be possible. It’s probably like a general antipathy toward major guilds.

“all right. “I hope we can meet again if we are meant to be.”

“I saw some good stuff. I will come back to buy it again when I can afford it. “There are a lot of things I like.”

“You’re welcome anytime! “This year, we will operate it as a permanent store, so I won’t be going anywhere.”

“All right.”

Tiing.

Soon the elevator arrived.

Kang Hu disappeared from Yu Qinghua’s gaze.

The scene was an ordinary farewell scene between sellers and buyers that can be seen from time to time in the market.

“…I never thought my last attempt would be blocked.”

Even when Yu Qinghua thought that Kang Hu had relaxed enough, she pouted her lips at the mental control that did not work.

She, who was usually not interested in people, now has a talent that causes a strange obsession.

Of course, she didn’t even know Kang Hu’s name. Even a pseudonym. It was truly ironic.

After leaving Shintu Guild’s VIP Market, the place Ganghu headed straight to was Osan Station, not Seoul.

There is the Golden Goblin’s Mine Dungeon, which has been coveted for a long time, and it is where a fierce battle is currently taking place.

Checking the news on his smartphone, he saw that the situation was moving faster than Kang-hu expected.

According to the original story, the Peaceful-Bastard alliance held out against the Purification Guild until three full-scale wars.

This is because they have their own home advantage and the guerrilla tactic of disrupting the rear works well.

However, looking at the news, it seemed like the coalition was completely destroyed in the second all-out war.

It was said that unverified mercenaries were being recruited from outside, but it was not a good sign.

Because it means that there is now a reason to fill the number. This means that there was a lot of loss.

So Kang-hu came down to Osan before it got too late.

If the Golden Goblin’s Mine Dungeon falls into the hands of the Purification Guild, you will not be able to enter it even if you want to.

If you do that, you will also miss the chance that is sleeping inside, and from then on, that spirit will end up in Jang Si-hwan’s arms.

I didn’t want to see that even if I died.

Perhaps because it was so chaotic, nothing much happened until we reached the Golden Goblin’s mine dungeon.

It was dark and there was heavy rain predicted, so overall visibility was very short.

Clearly, since the fierce battle was taking place elsewhere, interest was relatively relaxed here.

There won’t be a crazy person who can go to the dungeon comfortably while fighting a war with the guild’s fate at stake.

In fact, it’s a problem even if you go in.

If you get the timing right, you may end up coming out when the enemies are crowded together. Then you die instantly.

There was no one near the dungeon.

Hunters from the Peaceful-Bastard Alliance and hunters from the Purification Guild were confronting each other around the dungeon entrance.

It is to monitor.

It’s like preventing each other from entering the dungeon. Of course, they don’t go in either.

Kang-hu hid by moving laterally, using a street lamp as a target out of their line of sight.

At the same time, I used my martial arts skills to hide my presence as much as possible and quietly began heading towards the dungeon entrance.

I was careful about my steps.

Just because they can’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist at all. If you make a mistake, you might get caught.

Fortunately, the forces deployed here seem to be surplus manpower that is not needed for battle.

Even though Kanghu was approaching the dungeon fairly quickly, he didn’t seem to notice at all.

And after some time.

‘It’s simple.’

Ganghu was able to enter easily.

It was a kind of empty house robbery that was possible because they were too observant and wary of each other.

‘I feel lighter. I definitely feel like I can move faster. ‘It’s good even when you don’t have any skills.’

Kanghu continued to caress the necklace and was satisfied.

Base stats don’t lie. Since it has been uploaded, it is always set to the default value in everyday life.

This is why hunters invest money in items.

That’s why they say that no matter how much money you save, it’s not enough. When you have money, there are things you want to buy.

Just like Kang-hoo burned 110 billion won today to buy a second-class necklace.

“after.”

I took a deep breath and looked straight ahead, and just as I remembered, I saw the route of the mine divided into three main branches.

First of all, it may be because the dungeon starting point starts at the foot of the mountain, including the mine.

The entire surrounding area was covered with rugged mountain paths. There were quite a few places where you could see sheer cliffs.

If you go straight for about 5 minutes from the starting point, the road completely splits into three branches.

The western route was known to be good for earning magic stones, the northern route for experience points, and the eastern route for earning skill books.

And the goblin that appears here is an entity of a high civilization that used magic weapons or fired magic bullets.

So one-on-one combat was tricky.

Moreover, it was disappointing that the weapons stolen from the goblins could not be used outside the dungeon.

The moment it came out, it immediately corroded and turned to ash, so it could not be used outside.

Of course, you could take it and use it as much as you wanted inside.

‘Because the level wasn’t the goal anyway.’

Ganghu chose the eastern route as originally intended.

Rather than earning skill books, head to the ‘Giyeon’ point that appears when you take the eastern route.

Jang Si-hwan got his chance in the very secret space set up in the original work.

It’s been 4 years since it was completed, so not yet. In other words, it is a place I will go to within a year.

It moved right away.

This is because other uninvited guests may suddenly enter the dungeon.

As we have entered the dungeon of a city that is currently a conflict zone, we cannot know when the battle will occur.

I guess I walked like that for about 5 minutes.

There came a crossroads.

Once you choose a route here, it is very difficult to change to another route. We must return to the starting point.

Right then.

“…?”

Ganghu flinched at the sudden cold feeling he felt on the northern route.

An energy that feels colder than touching the abyss of a cold ice lake. It was a dark time.

Who is it?

The fixer felt a dark energy strong enough to be considered unsuitable for the claws.

‘no way?’

Ganghu grabbed the dagger.

In situations where you cannot specify who your opponent is, it is right to be prepared to enter battle at any time.

Judging simply by his felt energy, he was a being whose skills were far superior to his own.

“Ugh. I’m hungry. “Did I polish it for too long?”

At that time, a voice came from a blind spot hidden by a rock.

The expression ‘refining’ is a word used in the original work to deal with energy that is amplified irregularly.

It seems like there was an issue with the other person that required that.

“Haam….”

Soon, a mysterious identity was revealed along with a yawn.

He was walking with his shirt off and smoke rising from his body.

Next moment.

“uh? Observatory?”

He recognized Ganghu first.
