The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 121

Episode 121 Preparation (2)

* * *

The conversation with Jin Hyo-young was brief.

This is inevitable because it is not a joint search, but a surveillance station for cross-verification of information.

So, we decided to meet at a designated point in the dungeon every 12 hours and re-explore the places we had visited.

However, even if it wasn’t the reason for the déjà vu I felt at the beginning of the conversation, I definitely felt that Jin Hyo-young was suspicious.

For a hunter whose main position will be exploration, wearing battle uniforms that fit the body well is a personal preference.

He said that the smell of strong perfume or too much makeup could also be due to his own opinion.

However, Jin Hyo-young continued to make groaning noises while talking to Kang-hoo.

He expressed his disappointment by saying that it would be difficult for him to participate in the battle team because he was level 85.

He also said that he had always admired the assassin class like Kanghu and asked about his skills without knowing anything about it.

If Kang-hoo didn’t know much about Jin Hyo-young’s true nature, he would have thought that she was a curious female hunter.

The style was actually nice too.

Aside from the strong scent of perfume, there were many elements that many men would find attractive.

but.

There were a total of two constellation information about her in Ganghu’s constellation scan.

Unless you are a skilled hunter who learned his abilities early on, your level will definitely exceed 200 at this level.

If I had the skills to sign a contract with the Constellation early on, I would have been assigned to the combat team rather than the exploration team.

She seemed to have lied because she thought Kang-hu would never know. It was a pretty clever lie.

Ganghu thought she might be a watcher sent by the Jeonghwa Guild.

Or, the possibility that it was planted from outside has not been ruled out.

In any case, the composition of this team is determined by internal officials.

Not all of the executives of the Purification Guild pay attention to its composition.

There is a high possibility that the team was formed according to one’s preference by bribery during the team formation stage.

‘Should I play appropriately? It seems like a deliberate approach, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to look at what’s behind it.’

Kang-hoo decided to respond to Jin Hyo-young’s suspicious approach. There is a 100% probability that there is a hidden purpose.

* * *

6 pm.

The search team’s entry has begun.

Team 132, led by Kang Hoo and Jin Hyo Young, was assigned the southeastern route. This was the direction Kang-hoo had requested from the beginning.

Everyone said they were reluctant to go there because the terrain was rugged and there were many variables.

That’s why it was a better story for Kang-hoo. Because the key point is right there.

Upon entering the dungeon, Ganghu was greeted by the endless feast of black earth.

I thought I knew why it was called ‘Hell’ of judgment.

The ground was entirely filled with black lava created by cooled lava.

Only acrid, unpleasant smoke rose from cracks in the ground, without even the slightest trace of plants.

It’s a sad story, but I could see a rapidly decomposing body up close, as if there had already been a victim.

“Wow, look at the size of the giants.”

“It’s pretty big.”

“Is that the 15th floor of an apartment?”

“It could be more.”

In the direction Jin Hyo-young pointed, a battle between the giant and the strategy team was already taking place.

Middle boss? Main boss?

It wasn’t.

It was a common monster and one of the members of the giant race.

In the first place, all giant monsters have ridiculously large bodies.

The rewards given to each person were very generous. It is a reward worthy of hundreds of people rushing in.

Of course, the contribution level will be high among the purification guild hunters, and they will take almost all of the net worth.

The remaining members are like bridesmaids, but they may not be aware of that fact.

At that time, Jin Hyo-young shouted.

“I can see Jang Si-hwan too!”

As expected, as she said, Jang Si-hwan was seen hovering in the air and pouring out magic like crazy.

Is it because we lost the seeker of pure darkness?

It appeared that white magic skills were used rather than black magic skills that required a mixture of dark magic power.

‘It’s cool.’

Since the magician’s performance is often flashy, there is a part of it that makes you mesmerized just by watching it.

Even if that were the case, the inside would be rotting. There is nothing more frustrating than losing something you had.

“See you in 12 hours.”

“is it so. I hope you’re okay.”

“That one too.”

Kang Hu briefly greeted Jin Hyo Young and then moved in the opposite direction from her.

And the surrounding terrain was meticulously recorded throughout the movement. Some were simply drawn.

As there was a mission assigned regardless of his purpose, he did not put off what he had to do.

Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Even though it was a very long distance away, the shaking of the earth’s axis was felt every time the giant moved.

In that one movement, several hunters will probably die like flies.

Among them, more than 99% of them will be victims of mercenaries who participated without knowing it.

Just as the key point in the Golden Goblin’s Mine was the hidden thornbush under the mountain peak.

In the case of Judgment Hell, there was a point where hot magma continued to flow around it.

It sounds good, but the point is, if you go in without knowing the English text, it’s no different from going to die.

This is because the point where magma erupts occasionally occurs is less than 100 meters away.

Although magma rose with some regularity, it was not perfectly patterned.

【The reason Jang Si-hwan came here was because of the sense of heterogeneity he felt from the moment he entered the dungeon.

His senses, which had become quite sensitive, were constantly focused on a hole that could barely fit a person.

It’s clear.

Rather than a simple dug hole, it seemed like a hidden space covered with poorly cooled lava.

His guess was that there could be at least one twisted space in this very large dungeon, which was not perfect from the start.】

The contents of the original came to mind clearly without a single mistake.

At the time, when the day trip was closing, I saw comments filled with resentment from readers who said Jang Si-hwan’s growth was slow.

It was something I came up with and added spontaneously while I was finishing the manuscript that day.

Originally, the Hell of Judgment main strategy story was supposed to come out, but it was left out due to the unexpected route.

Reader response was good.

However, from here on, the plot I had planned went awry, so I had to struggle until the end.

‘I did distribute it properly. No, actually, it was an upgrade that the main character needed.’

Ganghu nodded.

It was a meaningful opportunity for Jang Si-hwan, who had already grown considerably.

For Kang-hu, who has a much longer way to go and has higher potential, it has several times more meaning.

“It’s definitely comfortable.”

As expected, it seems that Dokgodai’s constitution is suitable.

Since I walked alone without paying attention to anyone, my steps felt light and comfortable.

Since it takes quite a bit of time to get to the point anyway, it’s time to pay close attention to the surrounding terrain.

Since I was given a good place, I should naturally do the work I was given.

* * *

While moving.

Kanghu was looking around at a few skills that he had not been able to focus on until now, as if he were a picky eater.

It is important to increase the number of skills, but it is also important to utilize what you have well.

Among the skills Ganghu has acquired so far, none of them are useless.

At least the cutest thing I got from the Slime King! The skill was surprisingly useful for blocking long-distance attacks.

The innate cuteness of the slime itself is a bonus. When I look at it, I don’t even feel like I want to explode.

“Quick dodge.”

Even though it is an assassin’s level 40 basic skill, it is a skill that was not used often.

I was used to short-distance lateral movement and jumping, so quick evasion, which required some prior concentration, was annoying.

The advantage of quick dodge was in the side effect rather than the distance that could be avoided.

【During evasive maneuvers, the barrier effect of resistance is activated. The evasion rate for skills increases.】

This is exactly the effect.

Increasing the evasion rate means that the probability of being pushed away increases, as if the same poles of a magnet meet.

As a result, it looks like the skill is missing. That is the principle of evasion rate.

“When difficult skills are flying in various directions, it would be okay to believe in the Curtain of Resistance effect.”

An appropriate picture is drawn.

Sometimes the smallest amount of effort yields the greatest efficiency. The Curtain of Resistance is such a case.

“Protection barrier.”

And protective barriers were either used selectively or not used at all.

But this guy also has some useful side effects.

【If the protective barrier is destroyed, the ‘Desolation’ effect is activated and all mana within a 10m radius evaporates.】

It is very good for momentarily blocking the supply of magical power when the opponent is a magic type.

In particular, if it is a field where the devastation effect is applied when magic power is low, supply and demand will be further disrupted.

Good for creating variables.

However, there was one reason why Ganghu had no particular need to use the protective barrier itself.

This is because the battle has always been fought in ‘extreme attack’ mode, an abbreviation for extreme attack.

Jeon Jong-doo, who immediately possessed tremendous strength, did not back down and ended the match head-on.

However, if you encounter a more difficult enemy, such as Kang Dong-hyun, the value of use will skyrocket.

“I used hallucinations and worldly techniques to a very limited extent. No no. Fixing the repertoire is not a good thing.”

widely! Perfect!

Kanghu snapped his fingers as if to call attention.

If the repertoire becomes obvious, it can be quickly preyed on by a sharp-eyed enemy.

Weren’t there many times when Ganghu subdued someone like that? There’s no way a counter case won’t come up.

* * *

Two hours passed.

The ten pages of the plain notebook that Kang-hu brought with him to record his exploration were filled to the brim.

Since it is impossible to use electronic devices inside the dungeon, you have to use these old-fashioned records.

It felt good and had some old-fashioned sensibility. The text and pictures are worth pondering over in themselves.

Anyway, when I looked through the content again, it seemed like all the meaningful information I had checked while moving up to this point had been incorporated.

With a little extra selfishness, it seemed like it would be no problem to call it a 100-point record.

and.

“at las.”

The key point that I had anticipated and envisioned from the beginning was right in front of my eyes.

Indeed, hot magma was flowing continuously along the already created path.

There was a pit in the middle with magma flowing up and down at intervals of about 30 meters.

Without another thought, Ganghu jumped into the pit. There is a separate exit anyway.

And since there was no need for a fight, I went inside without being nervous.

What immediately greeted Ganghu was a completely different type of scenery from the name of the dungeon, Hell of Judgment.

Yes, it was a place full of light and warmth, where the words heaven or paradise fit well.

A familiar landscape depicted in writing.

Memories of the original work also begin to come to mind in line with the scenery.

I also remember the ‘luxury’ that Jang Si-hwan enjoyed.

Stimuli of growth that were necessary to give wings to Jang Si-hwan, the protagonist of Running Horse.

Now the time has come to take it as another being in this world, the true protagonist Shin Kang-hu.

An classically sculpted wooden round table is placed on a field with a gentle breeze blowing.

thereon.

There are two books.

Each book is different, and each contains a kind of ‘essence’ that leads to a story.

Although it has the shape of a book, the contents are actually activated just by touching it.

Kanghu’s hand naturally went to the book on the right.

This is because I was more curious about the results related to this book.

That’s right.

“Hidden skill.”

There are only 77 types of special skills in the world of hunters! This was about one of them.
