The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 135

Episode 135: Versatility (1)

* * *

The attack schedule has been confirmed.

to 6 p.m.

Then, we had a full briefing starting at noon and everyone started making final preparations.

Kang-hu, who had already finished preparing and came down, had nothing to take care of.

The same goes for Captain Majinho, who had prepared for departure early.

Thanks to this, the two, who had nothing to do, were able to have tea time. It was an unplanned and impromptu event.

“It’s been a long time since I saw a bleeding sting holder. To begin with, assassins are in short supply.”

The whole time Majinho was talking, he couldn’t keep his gaze in one place, perhaps because he was distracted by the flies flying nearby.

No matter how big you are, you can’t help but be afraid of bugs. I could understand.

“I trained a lot for this. “It’s also a job that makes a living through blood loss.”

“So far, I’ve been looking for a lot of Berserkers. As you know, when the level 1 basic skill reaches its maximum proficiency, it becomes easier to activate bleeding.”

“I guess so.”

“But it’s harder to find a berserker… It’s really hard to get to the top dungeons for one reason or another.”

“The dungeon level where you are forced to keep bleeding is around 400, right?”

“you’re right. From this point on, most of the dungeons become impossible to eat or porridge without bleeding.”

It was the same as the original setting.

Because of this, Assassins and Berserkers, who could have been relatively non-mainstream, are gaining attention as they move up.

It’s not for nothing that places like the Purification Guild raise the Assassin and Berserker classes with great care.

This is because it is very useful in high-level dungeons. No, if you don’t have it, the strategy won’t work.

“I came here with the intention of working hard to earn a living. “I will add damage dealing at my own discretion.”

“Just maintaining the bleeding is enough. “Those are the terms of the contract in the first place.”

Majinho nodded.

Excluding Ganghu, it was designed as a 9-person extreme damage raid, so there was no need to worry about firepower.

Of course, it would be the icing on the cake if Ganghu adds a little damage.

At that time, Majinho continued speaking after a brief pause.

“If I am satisfied with this dungeon, can I request the next one?”

It was a welcome proposal for Ganghu.

In fact, Kang-hoo was supposed to make a request for another part first, but it was blocked.

If the other person expresses regret first, it becomes possible to use this as an excuse to confidently make a request.

From Majinho’s point of view, he would not have wanted to lose the precious bleeding dealer since he was saved this way.

His impatience had unexpectedly created a good situation.

“I’ll have to look at the schedule, but it might be possible. However, there is one condition for negotiation.”

“Please tell me.”

“There is a dungeon I want to explore and see. “This is a dungeon owned by the Guru Guild.”

I lucked out naturally.

The goal is not to conquer the dungeon, but to visit the imbalance point inside.

I had fun once before, and this dungeon on Jeju Island in Korea was the last point.

And one of the remaining three points is in Japan. The locations of the two places are unknown in the original work.

“Exploration, not strategy?”

“yes. I heard there is a place with a really beautiful interior. “I heard it’s a dungeon that outsiders can’t go to.”

“aha. “If it’s just exploration, there’s no problem at all, but… let’s look at it prospectively.”

“thank you.”

The consultation ended smoothly.

The existence of the imbalance point itself is a fraud. It is also evidence of imbalance, symbolizing the gap in this world.

Since I could easily level up to at least 2 and 30, I absolutely did not want to miss it.

Kanghu changed the topic.

“Jeju Island is peaceful, right?”

“Peace is possible because it is completely neutral. Because there are no exceptions. “No matter who comes here, they are treated equally.”

“I was surprised to see how much security there was at the airport.”

“There are many bastards who know that Jeju Island is peaceful and try to hide in it.”

Ma Jin-ho’s eyes, which revealed hostility without hesitation, were imbued with their own sense of justice.

In fact, he had a lot of experience directly arresting outside criminal hunters who had infiltrated the province.

Criminals were also afraid because there were many cases where they made half-assailants and brought them in, rather than arresting them.

“How are the civilians doing?”

“of course. Our guild master and assistant guild master are both sisters, so they are very attentive. As you know, there are many female hunters and civilians living there.”

“It must be a great happiness just to be able to walk around the streets at night with peace of mind.”

“Yes. “It is probably no coincidence that it ranks second as the best city to live in after Seoul every year.”

Majinho laughed.

At that moment, the look in his eyes seemed to have a lot of thoughts, and it seemed like he had a story of his own.

Who doesn’t have a story? The topic Kang-hu brought up seemed to have stimulated his deep emotions.

Perhaps you have experienced the loss of a loved one or acquaintance due to a security-related issue.

“Ah, I am telling you this out of anger. “If you find it difficult to maintain bleeding, don’t overdo it.”

“Then it’s not enough to pay for food.”

“That’s a story for later. Everyone’s life is precious. “Even if it’s my first time seeing a colleague, I don’t want to lose them right before my eyes.”

“Let me remember that.”

Ganghu nodded.

I liked the feeling that just because he was a mercenary hired with a commission fee, he wasn’t being used like a tool.

I thought that, aside from Ma Jin-ho’s scary appearance, he was a very warm person on the inside.

That may be why, as the third-in-command of a large guild, he manages many things smoothly.

6 pm.

After a detailed briefing and sufficient Q&A time, the dungeon attack began.

Although it was a high-level dungeon, the scale of the dungeon itself was not large, so I only brought a small amount of combat food.

Kanghu, who prefers to be light, barely filled his stomach before entering the dungeon.

Do I really have to eat a lot, like half a sandwich? In most cases, I tended to leave with an empty stomach.

As soon as he entered, Ganghu asked for permission as a test and went one-on-one with a monster.

‘You can increase the accumulated damage, but it’s really difficult to do alone.’

The conclusion came quickly.

We were able to suppress recovery by skillfully maintaining bleeding, but not everyone had physical strength.

If you tried to catch them, you could catch them one by one, but the efficiency seemed to drop to the bottom.

Although Kanghu was disappointed.

In fact, Majinho’s thoughts were a little different from those of the other hunters who were watching the one-on-one match.

The reason he had just passed level 100 in the first place was because the Assassin Hunter couldn’t have one-on-one combat with monsters.

Kanghu thought negatively, blaming his lack of damage and the longer play time.

As an onlooker, I highly valued his spirit of casually targeting monsters four times his level.

I was surprised because I thought it would be possible to play solo if given enough time.

The warm-up ended just like that.

Ganghu moved proactively after understanding the physiology of the monster, which was slightly different from the dungeons he had conquered so far.

The first strategic point was that the structure itself was simple, as per the information shared in the previous briefing.

A gatekeeper monster with tremendous stamina and tenacity is guarding a bridge in the form of a drawbridge.

The bridge could be raised and lowered like the Tower Bridge in England.

Naturally, the drawbridge guarded by the gatekeeper monster is at its maximum capacity.

The two sides could only be connected by subduing him or operating the driving mechanism in a separate way.

The distortion area where spatial movement was suppressed was widespread, and the gap between the separated legs was too long to jump over.

In other words, no matter how hard you think, there is no answer unless the drawbridge is connected.

In the preliminary briefing, the conclusion was that even if it would take some time, we should be honest and suppress the gatekeeper monster.

It was the traditional method that had been maintained until now, and there was no other method.

However, when he actually arrived at the scene, Kang-hu’s thoughts changed a little.

It is said that gatekeeper monsters are literally gatekeepers anyway, so the rewards they give are not very good.

In that case, there would be no need to put any effort into catching him. For no reason, physical fitness management becomes ambiguous.

“for a moment. Just give me about 3 minutes. “I think we can easily find a way to get through the bridge.”

“yes?”

“I would like you to be prepared to run in advance in case the bridge is connected.”

“I’m always ready, but what are you thinking…?”

“He’s on patrol and he’s the furthest away, so I’ll just try to time it.”

Ssang!

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Hu disappeared from the sight of Ma Jin-ho and the group.

When I re-identified the location of Kang-hoo, who had disappeared for a moment, he had already arrived far away.

Gatekeeper Monster Pischis.

A bipedal humanoid with a carp head was clutching a sharp trident.

The tip of the trident was coated with a dark red liquid, and it seemed highly likely that it was paralyzing poison or blinding poison.

‘If you blatantly draw attention to it, no matter how crucian-headed it may be, its purpose will be obvious.’

There were many options to deceive Pischis, but there was no rush.

Sometimes, thinking highly of the other person’s intelligence is helpful in the process of strategizing.

Everyone watching Kang-hu’s movements was holding their breath.

In this place that I have conquered so many times, nothing has worked except for direct attacks. What are you thinking?

【Illusion Art】

Ganghu first created several illusions and tested them.

Just as I had fun with before, I made one of the illusions look more like the main body.

The actual body had a dagger in its sleeve, and the fake illusion was holding the dagger as if it were showing off.

“Boo! “Boo!”

I don’t know if it’s because it’s a carp’s head, but… Pischis stabbed the trident in a threatening manner.

The trident narrowed the distance in the blink of an eye and easily crushed one of the illusions.

The disappeared illusion dispersed, creating a smoke screen, and Kanghu used shadow steps in the gap.

Pischis looked back to see if Ganghu was trying to trick his eyes and move to the device.

On the contrary, Ganghu was attacking Pischis from the front as if he had not thought anything.

It was a situation where they were closing in on Piscis at regular intervals, as if encircling them.

“Boo! humming!”

Pischis stretched out his trident towards Ganghu, who was charging from the front in a way that seemed bold.

However, as if it was a predictable move, Ganghu avoided the trident with an upward leap.

Rather, he used the top of Pischis’s trident as a stepping stone and leapt onto him once more.

“Boouung!”

Piscis dexterously swung his trident and aimed upward.

Even though Kanghu broke his prediction once, he didn’t seem to be embarrassed.

That’s how confident Pischis was in his physical ability. It wasn’t groundless confidence.

at that time.

Spaaa!

Ganghu’s location changed to where another shadow was.

Shadow Walk’s patented ability to switch positions.

Thanks to this, Pischis’s strike only cut through Amon’s shadow.

Even though my nerves kept rising, I thought I just had to kill all the enemies I could see anyway.

The illusion was dispelled just like that, and even a single shadow had disappeared anyway due to the battle just now.

But right then.

A pinching machine.

Kugugugu….

A loud noise was heard from an unexpected place, and soon the drawbridge began to lower.

“Boo…?”

Pischis’ eyes widened. How on earth is a leg that you haven’t even touched moving?

I was soon able to get the answer.

The person who moved the driving device was none other than Ganghu. Ganghu spoke to Pischis from afar.

“That’s an alter ego, Boongsin.”
