The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 159

Episode 159: Skill Harvest (3)

* * *

Kang-hu, who was curious about the situation on the other side, climbed the rock wall by leaping with Park Dong-jae.

It was the same method that was used in the past to rescue Ahn Young-ho by going from the bottom floor to the roof of the building.

The existing jumping ability was halved as the number of people increased, but it was still no problem to climb the rock wall.

This was because there was enough space to stand with your legs in between, making it easy to climb.

“My brother is doing everything.”

“Looks like it’s gone now.”

“no. “I knew about it before, but I didn’t know it could help with rock climbing.”

Park Dong-jae stuck out his tongue as he looked down at the rock wall route he climbed with Kang-hu.

I knew I had a leaping skill, but I never thought I could use it to ascend vertically.

Even with one more person, the driving force was strong enough to move a sufficient distance.

When I looked up from the top of the rock wall, I could see the situation on the other side at a glance.

As I crossed the soundproof barrier, I could hear the sounds of the scene realistically.

The soundproof barrier had no other function other than blocking sound, so there was no problem in crossing it freely.

“Hmm…”

Kang Hu glanced at the situation.

Three hunters were in battle with what appeared to be the main boss monster.

“Swordsman Wizard Archer. The combination is good. But why does everyone look in bad condition?”

“The prosecutor looks the worst. “It looks like there is an injury.”

“Right. It looks like there is a tear in the muscle on the side. “The way he swings the sword is awkward.”

“Do you see that?”

“Then you can’t see it?”

“Uh… I can’t see it.”

“Try to develop a more discerning eye.”

Kang-hu smiled and gave him a face-off. Of course, I didn’t mean to offend Park Dong-jae.

Finding clues by looking at the situation is one of the most important virtues for a hunter.

There is so much information out there, but if you don’t know how to interpret it, you are only at a loss. That much advantage disappears.

“Shall I intervene?”

“no. This is the strategy team that came earlier, so there’s no need to do that. “All we have to do is let them know about our existence.”

“how will we do it?”

“Let’s go a little further forward and show our faces. Instead, show that there is absolutely no hostility.”

Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae took a few steps forward.

Then, a figure appeared at the edge of the rock wall and settled in a position where it could be easily seen by the other party.

In fact, if I wanted to be bad, I could easily hit the backs of the hunters currently fighting.

This is because it is possible to use the boss monster’s attack pattern as if it were an ally’s movement.

However, Kang-hu always thought of himself as a person in a gray area.

black area. So I didn’t want to act like human trash.

It can be done, but it’s closer to not being done. It’s probably like a shred of conscience left in this body.

“….”

Ganghu held his breath and watched the movements of the main boss monster.

The name is Turbo. Although it was a humanoid monster with a slim build, its destructive power was considerable.

I looked closely.

Turbo’s attack pattern was similar to Sammy’s ‘Great Destruction’, which Kanghu had previously dealt with.

The reason why the three-person team currently attacking was struggling was because they could not properly respond to this pattern.

There were a lot more spheres than Sammy’s annihilation giant slalom.

In particular, this sphere was quite powerful in pushing the target back regardless of whether it was blocked or hit.

As a result, the closer you were to blocking or being attacked, the more damage you suffered exponentially.

There was something more tricky.

After pushing the hunter’s approach to the extreme like this, he hits him with his main weapon, the ‘whip’.

Since it was a long whip that could hit from a long distance, it had to be a painful experience for those who suffered it.

Sigh!

“Aaaah!”

In the end, one of the prosecutors who was hit by a whip fell out, vomiting blood.

At that moment, Park Dong-jae flinched and tried to stand up, but Kang-hu caught him.

“wait.”

“Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

“Helping before asking for help is both rude and insulting to the other person.”

“Ah…”

“You will pretend that you have good intentions. But your opponent may see it as taking away their chance to prove themselves.”

“It takes away your chance to prove it….”

“You keep holding on because you deserve it. “If it’s hard, even if you don’t want to come forward, I’ll kneel down and beg you.”

“I understand, bro.”

“Get rid of the illusion that just because you have good intentions, the other person will also think they have good intentions. “It’s an arrogant thought.”

Park Dong-jae repeatedly nodded as if he had come to enlightenment at Kang-hoo’s prompt. It was absolutely correct.

At that time, the three members were also aware of the existence of Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae.

There was a desire to ask for help, but as Ganghu said, the three hunters were people with fighting spirit.

The calculation was that if you give up easily or ask for help in a crisis like this, growth will stagnate.

So I was doing my best to fight, but the situation was only getting worse.

* * *

Some time has passed.

Kanghu quietly observed all of Turbo’s movements and recorded them clearly in his mind.

Park Dong-jae was also learning Turbo’s pattern at Kang-hoo’s suggestion.

He didn’t pay attention to Kang-hu’s words that Buffer should study and ignorance equals death.

“I think it will end with the next blow. “The balance is all broken.”

Kang Hu, who had been watching silently, looked at the prosecutor and muttered.

Park Dong-jae thought that the prosecutor was holding up quite well, but his prediction was immediately wrong.

“evil!”

Soon the prosecutor, who had been hit on the neck by the whip, rolled his eyes and flew away for a while.

He probably lost consciousness at the same time he felt pain in his neck. I probably didn’t even realize I was screaming.

The wizard and archer who lost their main tank became desperate.

It was a major crisis because the prosecutor who had been suppressing Turbo’s movements had disappeared.

“Help me!”

The wizard shouted.

But Ganghu didn’t move at those words.

I’m not here watching for favors right now.

They are waiting to provide help in return for a certain amount of money when needed. It’s like a kind of mercenary.

As Ganghu remained motionless, the archer next to him shouted.

“Do you need collateral?”

Nod.

Kanghu reacted.

Then, the wizard seemed to think he had missed something important and took something out of his pocket.

It was an orange magic stone.

The wizard took out two and the archer took out one.

The wizard gathered these together and sent them to Ganghu at once using his telekinesis skill.

Collateral of 30 billion won.

This was enough allowance to intervene.

They were so anxious that they reacted even though Ganghu could only eat the magic stone and run away.

“When we finish, let’s share it. “I’ll keep it for now.”

“Are you okay, bro?”

“I’m done figuring it out. you?”

“Honestly, I’m a little worried. His pattern is too complicated. “I feel like I’m out of my mind.”

“Just make sure the buff doesn’t run out. And sit further behind those wizards and archers. “Then you won’t be the first target.”

“huh. okay.”

I also didn’t forget practical advice. I said it back, but it meant using wizards and archers as shields if necessary.

Kang-hoo landed on the ground while using the leaping skill with Park Dong-jae.

If Park Dong-jae had jumped without thinking, he wouldn’t have had any legs left.

Before landing, Kanghu is cute! I was able to land safely thanks to creating my own safety cushion(?) with my skills.

Of course, it was a safety device applied only to Park Dong-jae, and Kang-hoo was able to land on the ground with light movements.

Shedding the load on the body through movement is also a basic skill that an assassin must have.

“Keep them in check at maximum range. “I can’t protect you while I focus on Turbo.”

Ganghu gave a warning and a request to the wizard and archer.

I wrote in English, and he seemed to understand right away. I also thought that English is a universal language.

“thank you.”

“please.”

A protective barrier strengthened by strong overlapping was spread out right in front of them.

It was a very strong frontal defense barrier that was twice as thick as before.

“Wow….”

“Is this kind of defense skill here?”

The wizard looked surprised as he suddenly saw Ganghu’s back turning towards Turbo.

This is because I never thought that an assassin would come up with a defense skill that appears to have higher durability and thickness than his own.

Wizards had a basic yet highly skilled defense skill called Mana Shield, which was said to be the wizard’s first option. However, it was nothing compared to Ganghu’s protective barrier.

For a moment, I felt a sense of self-destruction.

Because I felt that my skill in providing food was worse than that of an assassin.

at that time.

Kuaaaa!

Turbo used the ‘Tornado’ skill, once again creating multiple spheres.

Soon the spheres flew in and struck the protective barrier, but the barrier reliably withstood the attack.

What surprised the wizard, archer, and Park Dong-jae was not only the durability of the barrier.

In the meantime, Kanghu was quickly approaching Turbo, digging through the spheres.

Previously, no matter how hard the prosecutor tried to avoid Turbo’s attack, he was unable to dodge it and was pushed back after blocking it with his sword.

However, Ganghu may have already anticipated the projectile’s path, but it never hit the sphere.

‘Because you mix offbeats with regular beats, you mistake it for irregularity. ‘It stimulated hunters’ fear and made it difficult to objectively see the pattern.’

Ganghu had made his own judgment.

There must be a route through which the sphere passes. That is the regular route. Avoid this route at all costs.

And there are cases where projectiles fly intermittently with completely untimed beats.

This is a rule disguised as irregularity. The beats were unpredictable, but the number of beats for the route was 5.

After digesting five different patterns, it was back to the first pattern.

By combining these two big situations into one, I could see a route that would temporarily become a safe zone.

Ganghu was aiming for that path.

“Wow…”

“What am I looking at now? “It’s too fast to just see and avoid.”

“It’s not about watching and avoiding. “I know and avoid it.”

The wizard and archer’s mouths dropped open. Before we knew it, only compliments were being exchanged about Kanghu’s skills.

Before he knew it, Kanghu was so close to Turbo that he could reach him in just one or two steps.

Turbo looked just as embarrassed as his colleagues watching from behind.

An attack that cannot be avoided no matter how hard you try.

However, Kang-hoo arrived right in front of us without even a single scratch on his clothes.

It was a situation where my pride was greatly damaged. Turbo’s face, which had been calm the whole time, turned red.

Ganghu soon approached Turbo, leaping with all his might and raising his dagger.

It was a leap filled with determination to put the dagger in first without measuring anything.

at that time.

“Tsk.”

Turbo, who made eye contact with Kanghu, chuckled and disappeared from sight.
