The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 114
Episode 114: Stealing Giyeon (4)
‘What is it?’
My head tilts.
What a twisted contract.
From the name alone, it seems that it is not normal. It seems to refer to a contract that was born incorrectly.
‘no way.’
Although it was not the content that appeared in the original work, it was similar to the concept that Kang-hu had once thought of while writing.
This is a case in which the contractee ‘died’ due to a mistake in the description of the contents in the process of connecting the Holy See and the contractee.
However, there has never been a setting called a contract twisted in detail.
I saw the contents.
What on earth is it that gives it that name? There must be a story.
“It is a contract between a regular Holy See and a contractor… and it also has the saint’s seal of the Great Holy Temple stamped on it.”
There seemed to be no problem.
Of course, when a Hunter signs a contract with a Constellation, he does not sign such a contract directly.
In other words, this contract is a contract between the Great Holy Temple and the Holy See.
In order to maintain order in the Great Crusade, contracts like those of humans also existed in the world of constellations.
However, the voice I heard in the unknown space I entered earlier came to mind.
‘It was said that in order to maintain order in the Great Sanctuary, erroneous spaces would be destroyed.’
There is definitely a problem with the contract.
Kanghu looked through the contents more carefully. But there was a problem in an unexpected place.
It was just a blank space.
A blank space that I didn’t pay much attention to because I thought it was a typical contract form.
Therein lies the big problem.
【Special Terms】
【The Constellation ( ), the owner and author of this contract, may permanently maintain the contract with the contractor ( ).
The contractee can firmly maintain the position of main constellation. This is subject to the consent of the contractor.
This contract must be completed within 1 day from the time the contents are confirmed.】
“This… All you have to do is write your name. It doesn’t matter who the Constellation made a contract with. “If you write down the contract in my name.”
For a moment, a shiver ran down my spine. I thought I knew why it was called Twisted Contract.
It is a contract that should never see the light of day.
Perhaps it is a contract that was lost due to a mistake by Daeseongjeon or a form from the past. It may be a discarded form now.
In fact, it is highly likely that it would not have been a big problem if it had fallen into the hands of another hunter.
This is because the contract will be effective only if the name of the constellation is written down accurately.
This is because ordinary hunters cannot know the names of anyone other than the constellation they have contracted with or sponsored.
In other words, even if a contract was concluded with one of the sponsoring constellations, it could not have a very dramatic effect.
but.
“We can take the constellation.”
If it’s Kang-hu, it’s a different story.
It has a scanning ability that allows you to clearly see how many constellations an opponent has and what their names are.
Anyone’s constellation can be robbed.
In addition, thanks to the effect of the contract, it can be transferred to the main constellation.
Coexistence becomes possible regardless of the existing Dimension Stealer as the main constellation.
You only have about a day to spend worrying about things. Ganghu finished calculating whose constellation he would take.
‘Jang Si-hwan.’
It absolutely has to be him.
Because he is the leader of the thirteen stars, the great darkness of this world, and at the same time the culmination of the main character’s buff.
Jang Si-hwan’s power must be taken away here in order to cause him to lose his growth engine.
First of all, there are two constellations that I have selected as candidates to take away through a contract, and I decided to think about it a little more.
There is no harm in taking the Constellation a little late.
‘I can definitely take a hit. With a critical hit. ‘It is more meaningful than simple compensation.’
It was a meaningful opportunity.
This does not end with taking away Jang Si-hwan’s abilities. That is a plus for Kanghu.
This narrows it down to twice the total capacity.
“It will become a lightning strike in the dry sky.”
Kang-hoo laughed, thinking of Jang Si-hwan, who would face an absurd situation today.
Perhaps because he thought he was about to give the guy a good punch, the corners of his mouth that normally wouldn’t go up went up.
The Great Seongjeon contract has a force that can never be resisted.
Even if it is a twisted contract, the contract will be concluded. Of course, it is the responsibility of the Great Seongjeon to restore the now chaotic order.
* * *
That time.
Jeon Se-hyuk was talking on the phone with a man in a safe booth where security was strengthened to the maximum.
This is Lee Hyun-seok.
He was the leader of the warlord ‘Abyss’ and his confidant.
– I got information about Park Dong-jae. The planting of insiders in the past is paying off this time.
“Where is Dongjae?”
– Since the Qashmar Guild is based in Moscow, I thought it might be there, but I was completely wrong.
“no way?”
– huh. It’s in the country. Because there were so many hostages managed in Qashmar, no foreign hostages were brought in.
“You damn bastards….”
Jeon Se-hyuk gritted his teeth.
Even when I sent money to the Kashmar Guild to ensure Park Dong-jae’s safety.
The negotiator said that Park Dong-jae was safely in a villa outside Moscow.
In fact, he showed me a picture of the villa and also took a picture of the back of a person who looked like Park Dong-jae.
Since there was an actual video call, I thought it was undoubtedly somewhere in Moscow.
But domestically.
It was dark under the lamp.
Jeon Se-hyuk asked.
“Where is it?”
– It’s under the jurisdiction of Osho’s mercenaries. It seems that after Jeon Jong-du’s death, the remnants are trying to use it to make money.
“Is this like reconstruction funds?”
– I guess so. If you hold someone hostage like Park Dong-jae and periodically pay for their life, you can do quite a bit of business.
“Can I also get location information?”
– First of all, all confirmed information, including the location, can be delivered. But public support is difficult.
“are you okay. I really owe you a lot just for finding out this far. On the contrary, I am very grateful.”
– Looking at the surrounding structure, it looks like a skilled assassin is needed. You can never enter through regular methods.
“Is it that much?”
– For the Osho mercenaries who still remain, the hostages are the last resort. The guard is very strict.
“He’s a skilled assassin…”
It’s not what Lee Hyun-seok intended, nor did he ask anyone to think of him.
At that moment, Jeon Se-hyuk was a little embarrassed as only one person’s face came to mind so clearly.
The face that came to mind in conjunction with the description of a skilled assassin was Kang Hu.
From here on, it’s up to you.
The desire to save Park Dong-jae is like a chimney, but it shouldn’t be reckless. It’s not a place where that can happen.
Jeon Se-hyuk’s eyes deepened.
Is it possible with Kanghu?
Or, more than that, can Ganghu really help?
Of course, it would be difficult to do from scratch, so my thoughts became complicated as to what proposal to start with.
* * *
Kang-hu, who had no longer to be seen at Osan Station, came up to Suwon Station around evening.
And, as always, I was drinking Solakium Burst at a modern bar near Suwon Station.
A cocktail made by a blunt male bartender. It’s a taste that feels unexpectedly powerful.
‘Considering all circumstances, these two constellations are the best. I could just take one of the two.’
It was now the final stage.
The constellation that Jang Si-hwan signed a contract with was Ganghu, whom he knew better than anyone else.
This is because I learned some things through scanning, but the unique knowledge of the ‘original author’ is vivid in my mind.
Ganghu looked again at the contents of the two constellations he had written down on his notepad.
【Pure Darkness Seeker: Perfectly mediates to prevent the body and mind from running away in the process of dealing with the dark times.】 【
Retrograde: Sacrifices one Constellation Contract to restore all states of body and mind. The sacrificial constellation disappears.】
Both constellations are ranked in the top 25 in the Great Crusade.
‘If we bring in a seeker of pure darkness, Jang Si-hwan’s process of dealing with the dark period will become very unstable.’
The Seeker of Pure Darkness was not called the Fraud Constellation in the original work for nothing.
This is because it neatly solved the problem of runaway, which was a chronic problem in dealing with the dark ages.
In other words, if Jang Si-hwan loses that constellation, his level of perfection as a warlock will be greatly reduced.
‘If you bring in a traitor, his trust will disappear.’
Retrograde isn’t bad either.
In the original work, it was thanks to the retrograde constellation that Jang Si-hwan used a lot of high-risk, high-return tactics.
This is because I have confidence that I can save even a dying body if the circumstances arise. It is a kind of life insurance.
The stage before the final decision.
Ganghu thought of many different cases.
The probability of getting another unexpected opportunity like a twisted contract is extremely low.
The opportunity to intercept in the hell of judgment is also far from this.
How much time has passed?
Kang-hu, who was carefully weighing his weight, made a decision and nodded.
‘okay. ‘Retrogrades have an alternative.’
I decided to give up on the retrograde.
First of all, the current strongman had little chance of benefiting from the retrograde constellation.
In order to recover, the effect is activated only when you sacrifice a contract constellation, not a support constellation.
This is because the only main constellation for the current Ganghu is the Dimension Stealer.
Even if wilderness strategists are added soon, there are only two.
Among them, there was no constellation that anyone could easily sacrifice. Every single thing was precious.
In other words, even if you take it from Jang Si-hwan, there will be no immediate help. A lot of time has to pass.
The seeker of pure darkness is different.
When you start using Dark Age skills in earnest, your biggest worries at the time will immediately disappear.
Instability 0%.
The Seeker of Pure Darkness allows for complete control in the dark times. Block all variables.
Without a seeker of pure darkness, dealing with dark times becomes like dealing with a fragile glass cup.
Having a pure black seeker is like holding a plastic cup that you don’t have to worry about falling. The attitude towards it changes.
‘It’ll be fun.’
Ganghu smiled evilly as he remembered Jang Si-hwan, who would soon lose one of the main constellations.
Now I was thinking of going back to the hotel and signing the twisted contract.
Since it is a contract that Daeseongjeon could not cancel, they will not be able to take issue with this.
* * *
That night.
【The contract with the contractor ‘Jang Si-hwan’ and the constellation ‘Seeker of Pure Darkness’ has been terminated.】 【
The contract with the constellation ‘Seeker of Pure Darkness’ will be transferred to a new contractor in accordance with a follow-up contract that has been certified.】 【The
contract has been certified by the Daeseongjeon . It was done pursuant to a formal contract received.】
“What the fuck. What are you doing now? What is this? “What is this?”
Jang Si-hwan was experiencing something absurd that he had never experienced before.
The main constellation, the Seeker of Pure Darkness, opened his eyes and was taken away. Without even knowing who it was stolen from.
To him, the Seeker of Pure Darkness was a constellation that amplified his destructive power as well as his identity as a black magician.
In addition, it was a constellation that controlled the dark times that could run rampant and corrected unstable minds.
But it disappeared.
【Dark Age instability begins to amplify. 1 dark age is naturally lost per minute.】
“Fuck you…!”
A sudden, huge loss.
Jang Si-hwan could not hold back his anger and went berserk, pouring out black energy all over his body.
Wow! Catch!
In an instant, all the glass on the outer wall of the penthouse shattered.
It was an aftereffect created by Jang Si-hwan’s anger as he lost his temper.
“Nonsense…”
Jang Si-hwan’s lips and fingers were trembling.
To myself, who only believed in the seeker of pure darkness and had not prepared anything for dealing with the dark times.
A very serious problem has arisen.
