The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 155

Episode 155: Stimulus (2)

* * *

‘It’s a bit difficult to adapt. It seems like it would be perfect to get injured if you make a mistake… but the mulberry tastes good.’

This was my general opinion based on my own experience after applying selfish indulgence to the acceleration buff.

It was fast. It was so crazy fast that I wondered if it wasn’t just speed that was the problem, but whether my body could handle it.

In particular, the physical resistance when suddenly changing direction or trying to stop was beyond imagination.

If I overexerted myself just because of speed, it wouldn’t be surprising if my bones broke or my muscles tore.

In the future, when Park Dong-jae is around, I think I will have to learn how to handle my body with the acceleration buff at its maximum.

Speeding on an open highway is not a problem, but speeding on a curved road can kill you.

That was exactly the case now.

No matter how fast the speed is, if you cannot handle it skillfully, it is like an express train to the underworld.

After completing the test like that.

First, a save point for instantaneous movement was designated at the starting point.

Even before I came, I knew that it was a dungeon with many variables.

I planned to be prepared to at least evacuate Park Dong-jae safely in case of an emergency.

When I explained the situation to Park Dong-jae in advance, he seemed to be moved and his eyes kept sparkling.

“You worry about the buffer first. “They look at the buffer and throw away the bad guys so they can fend for themselves.”

“Don’t worry, those people will be weeded out later anyway. “Unless buffers get shot in the head, they won’t mess with a guy like that again.”

“that’s right. So, there are quite a few blacklists managed separately by the Buffer Network.”

“What is a buffer network?”

“Just as the name suggests. It’s like a secret community just for buffers. “It’s more closed than you think.”

“I guess so. “If internal information leaks out, a lot of people will be in trouble.”

“Oh bro! Look over there. “It looks like Canis hunters are making a large-scale attack over there?”

When I turned my gaze in the direction pointed by Park Dong-jae, I saw that the hunters were indeed targeting a very large monster.

Canis.

He is the manager of the entire open dungeon.

It is also a well-known guild in the United States. Of course, it cannot be compared to the Fortuna Guild.

Right then.

A group of hunters came out of the bushes from the direction where the Canis Guild battle was taking place.

They were all wearing Canis Guild epaulettes, and most of them had hostile expressions.

It was the kind of look in his eyes that he didn’t want to interact with, no matter who was here, unless he was related.

just as expected.

“Everyone, please stay at least 500 meters away. We never know when the battlefield will expand to this point. “At that time, we will kill all the hunters who get in our way.”

One of the Gunner Hunters from the Canis Guild pointed his gun and pressed menacingly.

It was a strong expression of his intention that he did not want to involve hunters other than the Canis Guild in any way.

If another guild or group of hunters had done that, there would have been bloodshed right here.

Neither Kang Hu nor Park Dong-jae had any intention of doing so. This is because the Canis Guild is the management entity.

It is also a kind of privilege. As a guild that manages the entire dungeon, special hunting is guaranteed.

If they tease you, you can challenge them and fight them.

But of course it can’t end well. Even more so if it is one of the most popular guilds in the United States.

So Kang Hu also stepped back without any regrets with Park Dong Jae.

“What are you saying bro?”

Park Dong-jae, who is not good at English, asked Kang-hoo. I only vaguely understood that it was a warning.

“It’s a hunting area, so get out of here. “Otherwise, you’ll be left behind.”

“ah.”

“It’s simple, right?”

“I see. “By the way, it looks like you can speak English quite well, right?”

“Korean Chinese Japanese English Latin. “I know how to do five things like this.”

“Wow… that’s crazy.”

“I guess I didn’t learn more.”

I meant it.

One day, I will be able to perform on the world stage. I didn’t want to feel the language barrier at that time.

Of course, just knowing how to speak English is enough to get you through most of it.

Still, the fact that the original author was interested in studying language while living his life helped me a lot.

In particular, they were able to speak Japanese and English more proficiently than local people.

Rather, my Chinese was relatively poor. Of course, this is also at the local level.

Kanghu turned his attention away from the northern part, which was distracted by the Canis Guild’s monster ‘Raid’.

And pointed towards the south and east.

As was briefed before entering the dungeon, this is because it is a place where relatively few hunters enter.

The terrain was very rugged and difficult, and there were many dense forests, making it difficult to secure visibility.

For that reason, hunters preferred the north and west because they were open areas, which were advantageous for securing visibility and responding to variables.

“Dongjae.”

“huh?”

“As I said before, it’s an open dungeon, so there are a lot of middle bosses and main bosses.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“How about just hunting Mibo and Mebo? “Go at my pace and I’ll give up all the loot.”

“Are you okay? “I’m the buff shuttle, so there’s no problem, but I’m the one who has to fight properly, right?”

“That’s my problem.”

“If it doesn’t matter to you, there’s nothing wrong with me, right? “If only all the loot was given away.”

“call?”

“But what do you get in return?”

At that time, Park Dong-jae asked a sharp question.

Perhaps it was a natural thought.

Giving up loot is something you do when you want something in return.

However, in Park Dong-jae’s view, if he took the spoils for himself, Kang-hu would have nothing left.

Although he almost got a little embarrassed, Kang-hoo naturally resolved the situation with an answer he had thought of in advance.

“Experience monopoly.”

“ah. Want one minute left at the end? “Then you can get all the experience points?”

“yes.”

“So that means I have to give up my experience… Well then, how about I try to make money properly?”

“call?”

“okay. call.”

The deal was done.

There is no other reason why Ganghu is greedy for the middle boss and main boss. This is because of skill theft.

The open dungeon has numerous middle bosses and main bosses to match its enormous size.

For Kang-hu, this place was like a huge buffet.

It was a place so large that even the Hell of Judgment could not be compared, so there were many ‘side dishes’ to crave.

Of course, as the level of the dungeon is high, the level of difficulty is quite high. There will be no such thing as a soft guy.

A skill is so valuable that it cannot be put on a price.

Even if he gave up tens of billions of won worth of loot to Park Dong-jae, Kang-hoo would have nothing to regret.

This is because, depending on what skill you acquire, the value can be replaced with just one skill.

The skill book is worth the price. Skill acquisition as an extension is also bound to have the same value.

It takes about an hour to take the southern route with Park Dong-jae.

As we moved away from the dungeon entrance, which was a kind of gathering point, the surroundings became quiet.

The number of hunters I often encountered along the way has decreased significantly, and the frequency of encounters has also decreased to a noticeable degree.

There were small battles here and there, but since they were hunting monsters that had fallen from the group, there were no major incidents.

It was just a tantalizing moment to warm up my body, so much so that I actually missed a proper battle.

But then.

A rarely seen hunter appeared.

Although his external appearance was different from that of a typical hunter, he was still clearly a hunter.

Park Dong-jae suddenly politely folded his hands and spoke to Ganghu upon the sudden appearance of a priest.

Of course, I lowered my voice so that he could not hear.

“Why are you a priest? “Looking at your outfit, you look like a priest?”

“well.”

“I think I see a dead hunter’s body? “It seems like he’s praying there, too?”

“hmm.”

“Thank you for your hard work. “When I see you coming to a place like this and praying for the dead hunter…”

Perhaps because he had the appearance of a true priest, Park Dong-jae’s guard quickly relaxed.

It was inevitable that the priest would hold both hands of the dead hunter and pray.

He also made the sign of the cross over the book and cross placed on Hunter’s chest. The tears that fell in the meantime were a bonus.

From the beginning, Ganghu was looking at the bride with narrowed eyes.

This is because the information on the constellations was too heterogeneous to be said to be a priest faithful to his faith.

【Despicable Priest】

【When you perform a ritual to pray for the soul of a hunter you killed with your own hands, you gain stat points randomly from 1 to 10 once as a bonus.

A maximum of 2 attempts can be made in 24 hours, and if you complete 2 attempts, 24 hours must pass before the next attempt.】 A

constellation that allows you to conditionally obtain bonus points from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 10 from hunters you directly kill.

It is a type of constellation that causes serial murders. This is a constellation that recommends murder. It has to be that way.

I was also convinced that it was not a real priest. There is a high possibility that it is a devil disguised as a priest.

at that time.

The fake priest slowly got up and, upon seeing Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae, wiped away tears and carefully lowered his head.

Kang Hu and Park Dong-jae also received his greetings.

However, Ganghu sent a finger signal behind the waist that was not visible from the bride’s gaze.

One middle finger. This is a signal promised to be used when referring to the ‘enemy’. It’s something to be wary of.

Park Dong-jae, who quickly recognized the meaning, greeted more politely.

Let’s go one step further here.

“I respect you. “It would be rare to see someone praying for the soul of the dead like this.”

“no. A sad death always just breaks my heart. Are you heading this way?”

“yes. you’re right. “What about the priest?”

“I was trying to play solo here and felt the limitations of my skills. But unfortunately…”

The priest turned his gaze towards the dead hunter again and made the sign of the cross.

However, Seongho’s direction was completely opposite. He seemed more serious, probably not even aware of it.

Park Dong-jae swallowed his dry saliva, probably because he was nervous. This is probably because you can move on to the battle phase at any time.

Ganghu quickly approached the fake bride. I didn’t think this situation would pass quietly.

If you’re capable of ‘hunting’ a hunter alone here, you probably don’t have average skills.

The effect will be even greater since he has the appearance of a believer who is perfect for breaking down other people’s boundaries.

Kanghu started crying.

“You’ve been through a lot.”

Then he also answered.

“no. By any chance… if it’s okay with you, may I pray for you both? “I have a kind of constellation with me that greatly increases my luck.”

‘Even bullshit sounds plausible because it’s done in a creative way.’

Kang Hu laughed to himself.

If you couldn’t scan his constellation information, it was a perfect statement to fool you.

What hunter would refuse an offer to pray for better luck?

Beliefs that did not exist before will also arise. It can also be interpreted as meaning to apply some kind of buff.

Right then.

Kang-hoo, who thought that further acting was pointless, took a step closer to the fake bride.

And in a low voice.

whispered in his ear.

“Do it in moderation, kid.”

It was a short, bold shot of harsh words directed at a guy who sells his faith for a purpose.
