The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 16

Episode 16: Wuthering Heights (3)

“Uhhhh…! Ugh!”

It took only a few seconds for the four hunters who tried to harass the woman to end up in a bad situation.

Kang Hu ended the battle by lightly stabbing a vital point.

In fact, there was no fight at all.

Because they were targeting areas that would not die if treated immediately.

Of course, this only applies if you stop the bleeding quickly, otherwise you may die from excessive bleeding.

Kang-hu held her hand and walked out as far away from the scene as possible.

While heading to where the safety bus was coming, she did not let go of Kang-hu’s hand, which she held tightly.

“thank you. “I tried to go home early by taking a route I didn’t normally take, but then I stopped…”

I wondered why they went down that path, but it seems there was a reason.

This is because there are many ways to find a relatively safe path.

I went there thinking that I would be okay even though there was a crime-ridden area, but then something like this happened.

“Even if you go a little further, you will be relatively safe if you follow the light. “There is nothing good about being close to the dark.”

When I calmed her startled mind with a calm voice, she responded with a sigh of relief.

“thank you. “I was so panicked that I didn’t even have time to bring self-defense items or call to report it…”

“You’re here just in time.”

Kanghu pointed to the safety bus that was just starting to come this way.

“My name is Seonhee Lee. What is your name…? I really want to give thanks. “Of course.”

“That’s Okay. “I didn’t do it with the intention of getting a reward.”

Kang Hu waved his hand.

However, the name was somewhat familiar.

Seonhee Lee.

This is a name that appears in the original work.

A person who will awaken about a year from now and become a suitable helper to Shin Kang-hoo.

The memory immediately came to mind because of the unusual emerald hair and the long cross tattoo engraved around the eye.

‘I guess it doesn’t matter.’

I thought about saying something that predicted the future, but I held back.

He wasn’t a very important character in the original work, so it’s better to let this character take its course.

“but······.”

“going. “Be careful next time.”

Kang-hu turned around, gave a cursory wave, and naturally disappeared into the dark alley.

The person who just a moment ago told Lee Seon-hee that there was nothing good about being close to the darkness…

He welcomed the darkness more than anyone else and disappeared quickly.

5 minutes remaining until entering the dungeon.

To be exact, it was the time remaining until internal initialization was completed and preparations were made for attack again.

Since it wasn’t opened just because he wanted to rush in, Ganghu waited leisurely to enter.

In front of the dungeon, guards who were paid by Yerin Lee had arrived early and were taking their seats.

They carefully looked around and checked the safety of Ganghu, which they were about to enter.

Ganghu calculated numerous cases in his head and conducted a simulation battle.

Some may wonder if this will work, but it was possible for ‘Shin Kang-hoo’, not another hunter.

To enable that, the original author sculpted the character and created innate senses and abilities. It couldn’t be impossible.

[The growth is dazzling. I had no idea that it would continue to grow so explosively in just a few days.】

‘All you need is time.’

Ganghu said calmly.

Time to show off your talents, time to conquer the dungeon.

This means that all you need is the time.

【I found it interesting that you were the culmination of all sorts of tragedies and trials since you first became a hunter.】

He was the constellation who rarely opened his mouth.

I was happy that he seemed to be showing that much interest in me.

This is because his conversation implies ‘value’ even without verbal praise or support.

【Originally I was going to watch more, but I was drawn to your boldness and held out my hand.

Now that I think about it, I think I would have regretted it later if I had watched it more. Continue to prove your worth in the future.】

‘With bare mouth?’

【Sooner or later, we will have to severely test you. You better be very nervous.】

With those words, the presence of the dimension stealer disappeared again.

I received a meaningful answer.

The word verification.

A constellation that has made a contract with a Hunter can activate a special quest by pledging a significant amount of its sacred power.

This is also the only time when the quest concept, which is virtually absent from hunters, is activated.

This quest is a test to see if the Constellation can give its greater power to the contractor.

So, if the contractor dies during the performance, he or she really dies, just like in an actual dungeon attack.

Moreover, if the contractee dies, the contract with the Holy See is automatically terminated.

It was often used as a means of fishing by constellations who wanted to ‘cut off’ their contractees.

Of course, if you succeed in the quest, from then on you will be of one mind forever.

Five minutes had passed since then, and one of the guards guarding the dungeon entrance bowed his head to Ganghu.

“I’m ready. “Let’s go in.”

Even from a rough estimate, these hunters seemed to be over level 150.

There are a total of four guards.

A considerable amount of money is being spent on dungeon escort.

However, they did not wonder anything about Ganghu or try to judge him.

I just kept moving around the dungeon as if I was just trying to stick to my given mission.

Ganghu entered the dungeon right away.

Five middle bosses.

One main boss.

This is the beginning of a bonanza strategy in which at least six skills are expected to be stolen if you succeed without making any mistakes.

* * *

Come on!

“Kkuwaek!”

“It’s one shot.”

Ganghu, who entered the dungeon, was steadily catching monsters and checking his combat power.

First of all, monsters below level 20 were always one hit.

There was no ability to respond to Ganghu’s leaping skill.

Typically, a level 20 hunter will be in a position of ‘weak advantage’ against a level 20 monster.

Slightly better than monsters of the same level. When competing one-on-one, it is evaluated as a level where one can win.

However, it was common sense that did not apply to Ganghu, who had an incredibly wide gap between his abilities and his level.

“Are you already level 22?”

It’s been about an hour since I entered the dungeon.

The method of luring out a small group of monsters and killing them suited the assassin class characteristics well.

I didn’t overexert myself, rested enough, and when I decided to kill the monster with a single blow, my hypersensitivity didn’t even kick in.

Since it is a structure where you gain experience points alone, leveling up was noticeably fast.

“Slowly.”

Kanghu saw something walking towards us from down the slope and nodded.

It is a middle boss monster.

First, I added the bonus points I had earned by leveling up to my stamina as a habit and immediately took an attack stance.

Iceman.

It is an ordinary name, but it is a name with a more certain identity.

The ability, which is both a characteristic and a skill, has the property of freezing upon contact with the ‘freezing attribute’.

When they just start charging towards each other in a search war.

In order to gain a tactical advantage in advance, Ganghu linked Iceman with vision robbery and shallow confusion.

Normally an intelligent monster would have resisted or at least pretended to avoid it.

However, Iceman, who was more of a helpless monster, caught the skill with the intention of hitting it with his body and rushed forward.

Thanks to this, Iceman, who honestly used the two skills, was able to experience a completely different world in an instant.

“Ruruk?”

The sense of direction disappeared while nothing was visible! It became impossible to guess where was in front, behind, down, or up.

As Kang-hu checks the distance, he thinks he should respond by moving laterally when the time comes.

“Wow!”

Suddenly, Iceman rushed towards the slope, lost his right foot, and started to fall.

“······?”

While Kang-hu looked back pitifully, Iceman’s head slid down and hit the stone.

Bye!

The sound of bones breaking came from Iceman’s head.

【Skills that can be stolen from a target for whom Robbery is activated are as follows.】

【Give Freezing Attribute】

And Robbery is activated.

“What is this…”

An unexpected shortcut was opened.

after.

Kang-hoo, who easily defeated Iceman, also easily defeated Fireman, the middle boss who was Iceman’s brother.

It was because he used the freezing ability he had acquired just before appropriately, but this guy was also stupid.

In fact, not all middle bosses are smart and intelligent, so it was nothing new.

[Improvement of freezing properties]

[Improvement of fire properties]

Two additional skills have been created.

The two skills that reached maximum proficiency along with robbery have become skills that can be used for a variety of purposes.

First of all, by giving the weapon an elemental power, you could make the opponent suffer more or delay recovery.

Under the premise of being able to utilize mana abundantly, it was possible to freeze and burn targets on contact.

Of course, it is not an instantaneous ignition and freezing concept, so an intelligent connection is required. a little.

“I feel like I’m slowly moving away from the original class colors.”

Ganghu looked satisfied when he saw that skills other than those related to the sword were increasing.

Expanding a hunter’s abilities is absolutely necessary and good, regardless of the reason.

This is especially true if, like Shin Kang-hoo in the original work, he is judged as a eunuch due to his clear weaknesses in a group match.

There is clearly a need for improvement.

Later, the main character Jang Si-hwan persistently targeted Kang-hoo’s lack of skills to deal with multiple enemies.

As long as he was aware of his clear shortcomings, Kang Hu had no intention of neglecting them.

In that regard, it was clear that the ability to assign and utilize attributes would be of great help in the future.

“I feel like I’m feeling a little better now.”

Kang-hu felt his stiff body loosen up considerably and began to move more quickly.

There are still three more middle bosses to catch. And there are also ‘miscellaneous mobs’ that you will encounter along the way.

at that time.

Hehehe.

The sandstorm in the dungeon, which had been quiet for a while, blew again.

Although it was not visible on the horizon, there was a desert area nearby as seen in the preliminary data.
