The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 113

Episode 113: Intercepting Giyeon (3)

It was Jang Si-hwan.

Although he was only briefly surprised, Kang-hu immediately realized the meaning of this situation.

‘You bastard. The guild members were engaged in an all-out war, but he was secretly coming to the dungeon to enjoy it.’

Kang Hu’s disdainful gaze, hidden behind his expressionless face, turned to Jang Si-hwan.

Jang Si-hwan is a black magician whose skills are so outstanding that even such words cannot describe them.

In addition to black magic, he is also a multi-talented person who specializes in spatial skills.

It is similar to Kang-hu, who is not limited to the assassin profession.

With his skills, it would have been easy to control the minds of all the hunters stationed near the dungeon entrance.

So, you probably entered the dungeon without even realizing it. It probably isn’t even in the memories of the hunters who guarded it.

Just as Kang Hu did to Yu Qinghua, he prepared to respond to any mental attacks that might come out of nowhere.

There was no particular attempt by Jang Si-hwan, but that doesn’t mean we can relax our nerves.

Variables suddenly arise in unexpected places when we are distracted. It is an eternal truth.

Kang Hu spoke to Jang Si-hwan in a calm and orderly tone, contrary to his intentions.

“Nice to meet you.”

“You’re welcome in the dungeon. Everyone tried to come in and then turned back. “Didn’t someone stop it?”

What Jang Si-hwan meant was that there was a guard of the Jeonghwa Guild stationed at the entrance, so how did you trick them into entering?

“I came in without even realizing it, so of course there was no one to stop me.”

“Ohh? okay. First, relax. “I’m not asking this to interrogate you.”

Jang Si-hwan shrugged his shoulders.

Meanwhile, he was recalling memories of the observatory, or Ganghu.

While conducting a thorough investigation of CCTV footage from the scene regarding Tae-soo Gong, a hunter was found moving to the roof of the building.

It was Ganghu.

Jang Si-hwan still doesn’t know Kang-hu’s name.

Instead, I remember the place because I remember my very special first meeting at the observatory.

In the CCTV footage, Kang-hoo was clearly moving on top of the building in the same direction as Tae-soo Gong’s bus.

Of course, it was not possible to confirm with that alone that Kang Hu cut off Prince Gong’s left arm.

This is because at that time, there were more than one mercenary targeting Gong Tae-su due to the ‘fireworks display’.

‘According to what Master K said, Jang Si-hwan was interested in the person who attacked Prince Gong.’

Kang Hu naturally made eye contact with Jang Si-hwan and was refining his thoughts in his own way.

If Jang Si-hwan had conducted an investigation into the scene where he attacked Tae-soo Gong… there

is a high possibility that he would have been caught somewhere.

Even if there is no direct evidence that he attacked Prince Gong, his face would have been caught at least once around him.

Jang Si-hwan is clever.

You can know everything and pretend not to know, or you can pretend not to know and try to ask quietly.

Jang Si-hwan is the person who was molded with affection until he was reborn as the ‘Shin Kang-hu’ of this damn world.

Isn’t he the main character of the original work?

That’s why I couldn’t let down my guard. This guy is also another ‘me’ and that’s why he’s so smart.

Kanghu said.

“yes. We came in targeting a niche market. “It is also a unique opportunity.”

“I thought that too. “It’s not a dungeon that officially belongs to any place, right?”

“So far it is.”

So far, this answer contained the intention that it would soon become the property of the Purification Guild.

Jang Si-hwan’s face, which had been slightly stiff, seemed to like Kang Hu’s indirect recognition.

Jang Si-hwan’s eyes, which are tinged with red, scan the entire body with a sharpness disguised as softness.

‘When coincidences happen, interest that wasn’t there before arises.’

Observatory and today’s dungeon.

I have already had two coincidental encounters with Jang Si-hwan.

Considering that I personally received information about matters related to Tae-soo Gong.

In total, Jang Si-hwan and himself came into contact three times. At this level, it is clearly engraved in my memory.

【It’s overwhelming power.】

【A proper rival is sitting behind that contractor in the front. It won’t be easy.】

【The Great Crusade is also very narrow.】

Dimension Stealer Apocalypse – The strategists of the dark wilderness each spoke about what they felt from Jang Si-hwan.

They were nervous as they rarely said words of admiration.

at that time.

“Would you like some?”

Jang Si-hwan took out an energy bar from his pocket and handed it to Kang-hu.

In the original work, Jang Si-hwan’s favorite snack that he often ate was an energy bar, and of course he brought it with him.

‘If you combine this with Dalgona Latte, it’s Jang Si-hwan’s happy snack combination.’

It’s a clear memory.

Isn’t Jang Si-hwan the other person who knows more than himself?

“I will not refuse.”

After receiving the energy bar, Kanghu immediately opened the package and chewed it.

The taste is really good.

“You sound similar to me.”

“yes?”

“You’re eating something that doesn’t taste good.”

Jang Si-hwan laughed.

Looking at each other, it seemed right that they were eating each other tastelessly.

Just by looking at his face, his expression is so stiff that you would think he was forcing himself to eat in order to survive.

Certainly, Jang Si-hwan had manners unlike Chae Gwan-hyung and Shin Tae-seok, who were at the level of personality-disruptors.

Of course, it is also a character that was carefully created in the original work.

He is gentle, kind, and takes good care of those around him. He also wants to save people who are in trouble.

He has the personality of a typical hero character. Of course, they all gave out harpoons in the ending.

If you go back and interpret this appearance based on the ending, you can see it as a perfectly disguised pretense.

No one knows what is hidden behind a smiling face. Only you know.

While eating the remaining half of the energy bar, Jang Si-hwan changed the topic. It was a rather direct question.

“What do you think about the subjugation of Osan?”

“I have no idea. “For a wanderer like me, it’s someone else’s story.”

“Do you think it doesn’t matter who wins?”

“I think the winning guild is justice. Justice is a luxury for a losing guild.”

At those words, Jang Si-hwan’s eyes changed for a moment and then returned to their original state. It was a change that Kang Hu also recognized.

It seems like a pretty interesting answer. Usually, in front of Jang Si-hwan, I would talk about a lot of fundamental things.

For example, the Jeonghwa guild is justice, so we pray for the Jeonghwa guild’s victory… bullshit.

Rather than offering unconditional praise, Kang Hu merely faced and commented on the reality that is governed by the logic of power.

“That’s a correct answer to a question.”

Clap clap clap.

Jang Si-hwan applauded as if he was impressed. Is this the answer you wanted to hear? Or is the sarcasm offended?

Anyway, the short meeting and snack time with Jang Si-hwan ended like that.

Contrary to my fears that there would be trouble due to being treated as an uninvited guest, nothing happened.

And Jang Si-hwan took the western route opposite to Ganghu.

It seems that Giyeon was not destined to visit him today.

Ganghu started moving towards the eastern route again.

Since I met Jang Si-hwan inside the dungeon, I wanted to get my hands on Ki-yeon as quickly as possible.

* * *

Since conquering the dungeon was not the main goal, Ganghu only dealt with monsters that got in his way while moving.

Still, because they were monsters with decent experience points, they showed quite a bit of growth.

When Kanghu arrived at the point he had in mind, he was able to achieve level 101.

I also succeeded in catching a goblin middle boss who was constantly swinging an ax while holding a lot of poop form.

He was so insignificant that I couldn’t even remember his name, but he was a middle boss, so I got a skill from him.

【Gross Eater】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max]

【This is a skill that makes even spoiled things delicious to eat.】

“This is also a skill… right. Eating spoiled things with pleasure is also an ability. Because it doesn’t work normally.”

Ganghu laughed as he looked at the monster skill he obtained from the goblin middle boss.

No matter how much I thought about it, I wondered if this deserved to be added to the skill list.

Eating spoiled food is not the problem. The problem is that I get sick after eating.

Anyway, Ganghu arrived at the target location and diligently looked around.

【The mountain peak was shaped like a rock-paper-scissors game where the thumb and index finger were used to make scissors.

It was in the thorn bushes near the mountain peak that Jang Si-hwan discovered something unusual.

It’s a place I wouldn’t normally go to, but that day was a truly lucky day.】 The

vivid content of the original story matched the visible scene.

The move was quick.

Although the location of the thornbush was on a slightly cliff-like place that was difficult to navigate on foot.

Anyway, I had enough strength to hold on to rocks and gaps, so it wasn’t a problem.

Sasak. Sasasak.

As I slowly removed the thorns using a dagger, I could see a transparent, burning space.

It was a completely different landscape from the dungeon, which had a mountain concept as its background.

‘Jang Si-hwan picked up a yellow stone.’

When you go inside.

Rainbow-colored stones are scattered and floating everywhere. It is a weightless space in space.

In the original, Jang Si-hwan did not know the exact location of this place and while he was confused, he ‘roughly’ picked up a nearby stone.

It was a yellow stone.

However, to Kang-hu, who was familiar with the rainbow-colored magic stone grades, the meaning of the stone seemed different.

In fact, since red magic stones are the most expensive, I thought that red stones would be the most valuable here.

Maybe that’s why it’s the furthest away.

‘It is clear that no matter which stone you pick up, it will definitely be of great help.’

A space designed for acting.

It is designed to be beneficial no matter what you catch.

However, all Kang-hu remembers is the story related to the yellow stone.

The rest are probably manifestations of the unconscious. You have to see it for yourself to know what kind of unconsciousness it is.

“after.”

Take a deep breath.

Kang-hu, who had raised the tension in his body, immediately thrust himself into the transparent space without hesitation.

‘also.’

The surrounding scenery has changed.

It was in the middle of space.

Numerous stars and galaxies can be seen everywhere, unusually shaped nebulae can be seen, and thick darkness can be seen.

Jang Si-hwan in the original story lost his attention here. And that much time was lost.

【Order in the Great Sanctuary must be maintained. I will quickly destroy the wrong space.】

I hear a voice whose origin I cannot tell. It doesn’t matter who said it, but the content does.

Ganghu sprinted towards the red stone. Even though it was empty with nowhere to step, I still ran.

I used all the skills I could use, including leaping and acceleration. The red stone was that far away.

….

Space quickly disappeared in the silence of the universe where no sound could be heard.

The sight of everything distorting and disappearing as if being sucked into a black hole was terrifying.

It was breathtaking.

The speed of the collapsing space and the speed of Kang-hu running towards the red stone were almost the same.

If you don’t catch the stone, your attempt to steal Jang Si-hwan’s talent may end up being a vain effort.

‘little bit more.’

I gritted my teeth.

It must be faster than the speed of collapse. Just a little more. I moved despite the bone-crushing pain.

and.

Percussion!

At the same time, Ganghu’s hand grabbed the red stone.

“…!”

Caught in the collapse of space.

At that moment, before I knew it, I was back in front of the thorn bush where I was before. With a stone tightly held in hand.

Soon the stone turned into a handful of ash and created something new that had never existed before.

It was a piece of paper.

A unique piece of paper with a lot of stuff written on it that I’ve never seen before.

【Twisted Contract】

An unidentified contract whose purpose cannot even be guessed has appeared.
