The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 139

Episode 139 Nikita Voronin (1)

After that.

Kang-hoo went on a dungeon ‘exploration’ as promised by Ma Jin-ho.

It was a short but bold journey in a dungeon related to imbalance points.

Since it was a dungeon that I couldn’t conquer alone in the first place, I didn’t pay any attention to the monsters.

Following the memory of the original work, only the faults of the imbalance point were pulled out like tweezers.

‘The remaining points are vague as the novel only lightly mentions the dungeon and its characteristics.’

It was possible to gain enough from the remaining points, but it seemed that it would not be as certain as it is now.

Finding a needle in a small basket of sand is a completely different matter than finding a needle on a sandy beach.

Anyway, thanks to this, my level rose rapidly and I reached 160 in no time.

The level has risen by a whopping 30.

Perhaps because of that, constellation messages and sponsorships suddenly began to respond explosively.

The constellation’s attention was greatly focused on the actions of Ganghu, who seemed to know the secrets of this world.

The main constellation, the Dimension Stealer and Seeker of Pure Darkness, was no exception.

The Great Disaster is always keeping a close eye on Kang-hu – and so is the darkness.

Everyone was curious about where he got that knowledge, but Kanghu had no comment on that.

This is because it is literally a leak. I’m not even sure if I can believe it.

‘Invest in physical strength only until you reach level 200.’

The direction was decided again.

The idea is to distribute the points earned each time you level up to stats other than physical strength.

Of course, this is not a matter that should be decided hastily. It was enough to think about it carefully.

There was one reason why Kanghu had consistently invested in physical strength stats that were not immediately noticeable.

When congenital mana hypersensitivity kicks in and your physical strength begins to decline due to your handicap.

In the meantime, I wanted my body to last as long as possible.

Until now, there has been no battle that could be called a long-term war.

Even if there was, we could have endured it to some extent with the power of Solarchium and Mad Solarchium.

There was no way to guarantee how long this optimistic situation would continue.

And Mad Solarchium is not a panacea because it only postpones overload but does not solve it.

What if the battle continues when Mad Solarchium’s duration has expired?

At that time, the overload on your body will be a problem, and the aftereffects that you had postponed for a while will come rushing in like crazy.

The strength that can sustain you at this time is your physical strength. If you do not have stamina, you will inevitably become exhausted in an instant.

‘Olche assassin. I think it’s a bit of a horrible hybrid.’

Kang Hu smiled bitterly.

He is a unique type of assassin created by a body with a serious handicap.

However, Kang-hu liked the congenital mana hypersensitivity that was either a curse or a blessing attached to his body.

Because of this, I have been able to successfully fight against enemies with a large level gap and also utilize skills that are close to fraud.

If the mana problem had not been resolved, no matter how many skills there were, it would have been over after using a few.

Meanwhile.

Kang-hoo officially received an offer from Ma Jin-ho to join him in one more dungeon raid.

They also said that since the dungeon is extremely small, the time taken to conquer it will be very short.

We agreed to receive priority for middle boss drop items and main boss drop items.

No separate deposit or balance was received. It was a ‘debt of the heart’ that Kang-hoo intentionally left behind for Ma Jin-ho.

If he leaves behind a small debt like this, Ma Jin-ho is bound to be low-key to Kang-hoo later, whether voluntarily or unwillingly.

This is because Kang-hoo realized that Ma Jin-ho had that kind of personality.

As someone like Lee Hyun-seok, who is honest and has a clear sense of well-being, he would never forget how much he was indebted to.

The next attack schedule is tomorrow at noon.

Thanks to this, I had a little more than a day to rest.

Thanks to the Guru Guild’s consideration, Kanghu was able to rest for a day at the guild’s villa.

It was a complete and clear consideration that controlled the entry and exit of outsiders and even Guru Guild officials.

* * *

Shoot.

The rain that started falling on Jeju Island just then quickly purified the sky that was full of fine dust.

Kang-hu, who prefers rain to snow, especially the sound of rain, went out to the terrace and enjoyed the atmosphere.

Paired with a steaming cup of Americano, it was perfect for providing little happiness in everyday life.

Right then.

【The Constellation ‘Wilderness Strategist’ speaks to you in a voice full of emotion.】

【Finally, we have received official approval from the Great Crusade. Now, as the main constellation that will be with the contractee forever, I face a thrilling moment!】

The wilderness strategist spoke for the first time in a long time.

They said it would take some time to get approval from the Daeseongjeon, but it seems like it was all taken care of.

【

Crazy

The wilderness strategist didn’t even look upset, as if it was bullshit that wasn’t worth dealing with.

【I think it would be a good idea to protect the body as a high-ranking constellation. These words and actions are not like you.】

The pure black seeker carefully raised his voice, perhaps worried about the dimension stealer’s sharp reaction.

but.

【Ah, since you are a constellation that values physical fitness so much, did you make a living by meeting other constellations?

If that’s the case, I guess I’ll have to live like a libertine too.】

【Hmm…】

I was easily(?) subdued by the dimension stealer. After that, I could not see the message from the pure black seeker.

Just because the Dimension Stealer reacted hostilely, it didn’t mean there was a problem with the contract.

It was just more of an outpouring of emotion, but in the end, the dimension stealer also stopped talking and disappeared somewhere.

It’s probably not because he wanted to cause trouble.

It may have been because of his desire to have Kang-hoo, who was growing rapidly and dazzlingly, all to himself.

Yes, it was a strong possessiveness.

When the atmosphere became quiet again, the wilderness strategist continued speaking.

【I hope that the abilities I can bestow on you will be put to good use.

Please grow up nicely. I will watch you leisurely with the heart of a parent who loves you unconditionally.】

“Thank you.”

Ganghu bowed his head politely.

Although the wilderness strategist is not in front of him, he thinks he is watching him.

【Now, I will activate the special contract approved by the Great Seongjeon.】

As soon as the words were finished, the contract was concluded. It was the moment when Ganghu gained his third main constellation. Rather than being equal, it was a main constellation contract with nothing to lose for Ganghu, who obtained it unilaterally through the wooing of a wilderness strategist.

At the same time, three constellation perks that can be obtained from the wilderness strategist were activated.

【first. You are 90% immune to the hunter’s mental attacks coming from a range less than twice the contractor’s level.

Even if you fail to respond with a 10% chance, ‘Visit’ will activate and force immunity will be activated. Reactivation is not possible for just 1 day.】

‘Oh, that’s good?’

As a wilderness strategist who specializes in the mental aspect, something heavy came from the first constellation privilege.

Except for the methods used so far to respond to mental attacks using shortcuts.

All I had to do was use the effect of the Bloody Devourer constellation that I had previously stolen from Osan Guardian’s Hunter Jo Young-jae.

The constellation effect was that the more you lose stamina, the more likely you are to become immune to mental attacks.

However, it was conditional and the probability was not very high at about 5%.

However, now it is possible to significantly increase the level through the wilderness strategist.

Of course, there was a condition of being level 2 or lower.

Since Kanghu’s current level is 160, this means that he can cover up to level 320 hunters.

It might be difficult right now against Yu Chenghua or Emilia Rose.

It was a structure that, if you diligently raised your level, you could put them in the range of visibility that you could sufficiently deal with.

【Second, advance recognition is possible when the long-distance dealer’s ‘sniping’, ‘targeting’, and ‘target designation’ are activated.

‘Intuition’ is activated and this allows you to immediately understand that you are the target of an attack.】

‘Prevents screaming attacks. ‘If you meet a high-level sniper or archer, there are many cases where both rats and birds die without even realizing it.’

It was also a useful ability.

The gap between knowing in advance that someone is targeting you and not knowing is so large that it can be said to be the difference between life and death.

【Third, use ‘soul wave’ to break the link between mentally connected enemies or summoned entities.

It consumes 250 mana and causes mental strain, but it can completely reset the enemy’s condition.】

“This….”

It is a quite attractive perk.

However, as stated in the tooltip, the impact on Kang-hoo was quite large.

Ganghu tried using soul wave as a test.

It was not difficult to use it right away because it was a constellation ability that was learned along with the contract and all knowledge was passed on.

Psssssut!

Transparent waves rippled in the empty air. It felt like something was being shaken vigorously.

Through this, the undead summoned by the warlock with his necromantic skill can be neutralized at once.

It seemed like it could provide a solid counter punch to hunters using summoned animals.

step.

“Ugh.”

Consuming a large amount of mana at once caused a huge overload throughout the body.

Even though there were items to relieve the pain, it was so painful that I thought my head was going to break.

It seemed like we should consider using it very carefully, not at a moderate overload level.

Even if you cast it twice in a row, it feels like your entire head won’t be able to withstand it and will be discharged.

Still, it was so good.

The Dimension Stealer, Seeker of Pure Darkness, and Strategist of the Wasteland each have completely different areas of specialization.

So, all of the constellation abilities acquired are able to scratch only the itch without any overlap.

This is the perfect distribution for Kang-hoo, who dreams of becoming an all-rounder who can do everything on his own.

【Do you really like my contractor that much? You are an idiot.】

Suddenly reappears with a word from the Dimension Stealer, who is quick to throw a tantrum at the wilderness strategist.

In this way, Kanghu was secretly and quietly experiencing another growth.

* * *

Around that time.

A male hunter has just left Jeju Airport after completing immigration procedures.

Neatly shaved head. From neatly stylish glasses with rose gold-colored frames to well-dressed suits.

A man with a cool, intelligent vibe met someone waiting for him in front of the airport.

It was Majinho of the Guru Guild.

“You’re here, Nikita.”

“how are you? I am glad that the delivery went well this time. “Are there any defective products?”

“Not at all. “Isn’t the Kashmar Guild famous for producing military supplies for dungeons?”

“Thank you for always trusting and entrusting us. “I came to see you this time to inform you of a new product.”

“You could probably do it through video. “Isn’t it too difficult for you to take that step?”

“haha. Actually, I have some business to attend to.”

Nikita Voronin.

He is an executive at the Kashmar Guild and at the same time a manager in charge of Korean issues.

I was as fluent in Korean as I was in Russian, so there was no problem at all with communication.

For the most part, Nikita was the one who mainly conducted video conversations, as Majinho said.

This time, they plan to come down to Jeju Island to promote their new product. It seemed like there was something else on the inside.

Majinho asked.

“Can you tell me what’s going on?”

“I came to meet Hunter Shin Kang-hoo, who is currently with me. “This is an important task that reflects the Master’s intentions.”

Nikita’s immediate answer clearly revealed the purpose of his visit.
