The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 171

Episode 171: Mystery Dungeon (2)

* * *

The demonstration ended quickly.

Ganghu showed all the skills except the hidden skill ‘Black Moon Clash/Hundred Day Clash’ and a few core skills.

Since it is a skill that you have no choice but to use once you enter the dungeon, there was no pressure to reveal it.

The conclusion reached by the three people who carefully examined Kanghu’s skills was simpler than expected.

Park Dong-jae had a reason to confidently recommend it.

This means that Kang-hu is completely different from the image of the assassin they had previously imagined.

All three people gave the highest score to the diversity of Kanghu’s skills.

This is because skill is a factor that cannot be ignored by a hunter.

In baseball terms, pitchers have a variety of breaking ball options.

So, from the opposing position – the batter – you have no choice but to worry about what kind of breaking ball – skill – will come.

However, Ganghu had many skills that made it difficult to target him.

By the time the number of skills I confirmed with Kanghu exceeded 15, I gave up trying to remember them one by one.

“I told you, right? “There is more to Kanghu than what we think.”

“Dongjae, do it in moderation. “It tickles my face.”

Kang-hoo sent a glance at Park Dong-jae, who was appealing his charms on his behalf.

It was something I was thankful for a thousand times over, but it was so awkward holding each other and floating it like this that I couldn’t bear it.

Of course it felt good.

I am even more proud to see that the three people’s reactions have become much more favorable.

“I enjoyed the demonstration. thank you Thanks to you, I had a good time. “I understand Dongjae’s confidence.”

Taejin Jang was the first to show a direct reaction.

He is the younger brother of Jang Seon-yeong, the master of the famous guild, so he is one of the figures with considerable influence.

Since he was the first to open the floodgates of recognition for Kang Hu, the other two people’s reactions were the same.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

“Would it be too much of a fuss if I told you that I feel fortunate that I didn’t encounter an enemy?”

Choi Ho-soo and Yeon Su-ah also added their reactions. It was definitely friendly and not a soulless comment.

‘It’ll be fun.’

Kanghu was also looking forward to conquering the mystery dungeon with them.

It was definitely a dungeon that was difficult to predict and had a high risk of danger, but that made me even more excited.

In particular, the biggest feature of the Mystery Dungeon is that it provides ‘correction experience points’ to low-level hunters.

For Ganghu, who was the lowest level among them, the expected value of experience was much higher.

Moreover, middle bosses and main bosses do not come in a stereotypical form or number.

There were many elements that could be ripped off in order to profit.

As long as you don’t die! The rewards you could get were much more numerous and diverse than regular dungeons.

As Ganghu entered the dungeon, he looked at an item that he had postponed checking for a while.

It was a ring I got from Hunter Jeung Seon-rak, whom I had a match with during a request related to the first Jeongmun Research Institute.

His fingers were cut off and a total of two rings were taken.

One of them was a ring specialized only for mana, so they had plans to sell it.

I could have sold it when I met Kang Bok-hwa earlier, but I just kept it without thinking and missed the timing.

And although I had already worn the remaining ring, I just had to check the options.

In fact, it wasn’t a very special issue, so I wasn’t in a hurry to check it.

【Light – Ring】

【Grade: Grade 3】

【Agility +200】

【Anti-Demonstration +15】

【Toughness +15】

It was a ring specialized for agility stats.

It may have been a ring used to supplement the mobility that Jeung Seon-rak, a qigong practitioner, was somewhat lacking.

In that sense, it was a ring that suited Kanghu well.

When it comes to stats, more is better, and especially the agility stat increases basic mobility when there are no skills.

Kanghu has only focused on developing his physical strength due to a special condition called congenital mana hypersensitivity.

It’s not that the agility stat wasn’t important. In order to survive, physical strength became 0.

So a ring specializing in agility like this could only be dual-wielded and an illusion.

‘I need to come to my senses. If you lose your mind because you have a lot to do, that’s a bigger problem.’

Rather than feeling slack, I realized that I needed to regain my lost concentration amidst the hectic schedule.

Having useless items is a loss in itself.

It is best to quickly cash it out and exchange it for a useful item, or use it to purchase a higher-level item.

* * *

The dungeon raid has begun.

This is likely to be the last event before going to Japan.

As soon as they entered the dungeon, what greeted Ganghu and his party was not the dungeon’s unique atmosphere or background.

As soon as I entered, it was raining arrows. There were archers who had occupied the high ground and were lying in ambush.

These are humanoid archer monsters that, at first glance, resemble elf archers from fantasy movies.

When Kang-hoo recognized the situation and took immediate action, other colleagues were already responding as well.

Pop! Papak!

First, Hosu Choi stood at the front of the group, inflated his body as much as possible, and caught the flying arrow with his bare body.

‘Is that possible?’

Kang-hoo, who separated from the group with a purpose, was shocked to see Choi Ho-su catching a rain of arrows.

Even if he believed in his skill ‘petrification’, he didn’t think he would be able to hold on like that.

Choi Ho-soo was bleeding profusely but was able to withstand the attack with his thick skin.

In addition, special outer skin was activated separately in areas that could be vital and in delicate areas such as the eyes.

It was a setting that was worthy of being called tanking specialized.

Teeing! Teeing! Teeing!

Next, the Qigong river walls that Taejin Jang created here and there blocked the threatening paths of arrows flying in various directions.

Weeeeeee….

The magic force field created by Yeonsu-ah by burning the amulet significantly slowed down the speed of the arrow.

In that force field, the arrow passed very slowly, as if time had slowed down.

Yeonsu-ah was able to wiggle her hand around and retrieve the arrows one by one.

Park Dong-jae was pouring defense buffs on Choi Ho-su, who was receiving most of the arrow rain.

‘Everyone is nice.’

I really liked how no one panicked and responded skillfully and calmly.

Do you know what professionalism is? I was able to fully understand the basis for my pride in myself.

But right then.

‘Are you the boss?’

Among the group of archers, Ganghu confirmed that there was one who had particularly strong mana energy on his fingertips.

Unlike other archers, the amount of mana contained in one arrow was unimaginably large.

What’s even more scary is that the time to store high-output mana in one point was too short.

Kang-hoo, who repeated acceleration and leaping to close the distance in an instant, stretched out his hand towards the archer.

Pre-action of the kidnapping skill.

It’s actually been a long time since I’ve used the kidnapping skill, but it seems very useful now.

“100 million!”

Soon, the archer captain let out a groan and flew away, pulled by Ganghu’s kidnapping.

Peeing!

Meanwhile, an arrow left the bowstring and flew toward the direction of the group.

and.

Easy profit… Push!

It passed through without being hindered by the force field that Yeonsua had set up, and landed in the tree behind it.

If Kang-hoo hadn’t kidnapped someone, someone would have been seriously injured.

“ah.”

A short sigh burst out.

The archer captain possessed such power that it made one’s stomach tremble. Fortunately, we overcame the crisis.

All three people’s eyes turned to Kang-hu. Thanks to that, I was able to avoid danger.

Meanwhile, Kang-hu wrapped the neck of the archer captain he had kidnapped from behind and plunged the dagger into him.

It was a deliberate and massive decapitation that put all the force into one blow.

And at the same time.

Paang!

Five shadows started from Ganghu and rushed towards the group of archers.

Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!

As if Kang Hu thought that one major beheading was not enough, he stabbed the archer captain’s neck with his dagger several more times.

After immediately activating Blood Fire, he selected a shadow and moved its location without any further measurement.

Then, I found myself in the middle of a group of archers, far away from the archer leader.

Puff!

The archer captain’s bloody explosion was like a scene from a movie.

The captain, who had been firing arrows with excitement just a moment ago, had suddenly become a headless ghost and was collapsing.

Papat! Pot! Pot!

In concert with this, Ganghu changed his position four times in a row and trampled four more archers.

The archers, who had not thought that the shadow would become ‘real’, were helplessly stabbed to death with daggers.

A hill that had been occupied in advance.

However, when an uninvited guest began to run wild inside, the archers, who were weak in close combat, had no answer.

The attempt to hit Ganghu with a clumsy swing of the bow ended in vain from the beginning.

Phew!

“Gagging!”

In reality, the arrow was taken away by Ganghu, and he was stabbed in the eye or the side of the neck with the arrow and died a tragic death.

Moreover, the blood flower that came equally to all wounded archers at least once was like the Grim Reaper.

“Is this the power of an assassin?”

“It was also the painting we always wanted. “An assassin who takes the lead and proactively sets the plan first.”

“In other words, an active assassin.”

At that time, the three people who were watching Kang Hoo’s one-man show were each making comments filled with admiration.

The three people thought they were very good at dealing with variables.

We also decided that once we defended ourselves and opened up a counterattack, the situation would be easily resolved.

However, Ganghu went one step ahead and overturned the enemy’s ambush site.

Moreover, upon recognizing the archer captain’s distinctive characteristics, he was summoned to death by kidnapping him like a pair of tweezers.

Thanks to this, the four, including Park Dong-jae, were able to avoid injuries. It was an undeniable fact.

Park Dong-jae spoke with a triumphant expression towards the three admiring people.

“how is it? You’re really a great brother, right? Both judgment and execution are quick. “It’s really hard to keep pace.”

“You can’t jump to conclusions just from one look, but at least their first response was much faster and sharper than ours.”

Taejin Jang nodded.

As an assassin, nothing is taken for granted. Although it may be fast to maneuver, it is difficult to take down multiple people so quickly.

“Honestly, if the arrow had come as it was, the lake would have been damaged. “If I had avoided it, I would have gotten hurt.”

Yeon Su-ah also added her opinion.

It was really great that Kang Hu made the archer captain’s strike nullify.

I thought the arrow’s power might be different, but I never thought it would ignore the deceleration distortion and come in.

The more I recovered, the more my heart sank. A sigh of relief came out.

at that time.

“for a moment!”

Ganghu shouted urgently, stopping the group that was trying to move forward.

I wondered if there was anything more to worry about since the archers had been subdued… But

before I knew it, Kang-hoo had come forward and was less than 50cm away from Jang Tae-jin’s toes.

square. Suddenly. Sagagak.

An anti-personnel trap buried on the floor was lifted with the tip of the dagger.

It was a magic explosion type trap that only responded over a certain weight.

A trap that no one felt or expected. That’s what Kang-hu seemed to see.

“….”

There was silence for a moment.

It was a moment when I realized again why Park Dong-jae boasted that he would never be disappointed.
