The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 181

Episode 181 Qualifications of a Friend (1)

* * *

The rain that started in the evening became heavier and became a downpour at midnight.

The TV that was turned on featured heavy rain news as breaking news. It looks like some places have already been flooded.

It was no different in Korea or Japan that there was chaos when heavy rain fell.

They say that going outside on a rainy day like this is a total hassle.

Drinking coffee while standing on the terrace overlooking the city was quite charming.

The unique rhythm created by raindrops becomes a pleasant noise. It feels like it erases distracting thoughts.

The interior of the hotel, which had a clear view of downtown Osaka, was so comfortable that I wanted to stay there for the rest of my life.

This hotel is only provided to Ricou guild members and related people, but the quality of service was really good.

“First of all, we increased it by another 15 billion won.”

15 billion won. It was the amount collected and sold for the items belonging to the Toushi guild member who lost his life to Ganghu earlier.

Because Ahn Young-ho personally oversaw the entire process, all I had to do was check the balance without having to worry about anything complicated.

185 billion won.

It was money in the bank account.

If you include the scraps, it adds up to about 1.2 billion won, but that calculation was left out of the discussion.

In addition, after midnight, the month changes and the gold card limit is reset.

Last month, I used the gold card given by the Spitfire Guild to purchase items from Master K.

I thought this month would be similar to the previous one. Because Solarkium Mad Solarkium happened to be a reduced car.

Kanghu was thinking of other things he could do in the future.

When it comes to farming in the dark ages, the dungeon is prepared, so you can just go in and do it at any time.

Although there were some physical ups and downs in stopping after only targeting five locations.

Actually, I was tired of looking at the faces of undead monsters all week.

The combat patterns and repertoire seemed to be becoming too simple, so the flow was intentionally broken.

Familiarity, adaptation and repetition.

It was also the change I hated the most. This is because it destroys creativity and leads to inertia.

“You have to be careful when copying skills, so it’s not easy to make up your mind.”

There was still a chance to copy skills previously acquired.

【Skill Copy 1 time】

【You can copy one skill you have personally confirmed against a Hunter, regardless of gender level or class.】 【

There is no penalty due to class mismatch during the acquisition process, and 100% efficiency is inherited.】

Restrictions are limited . It was a 100% skill copy with absolutely no freedom.

As long as the target is a hunter. And seeing the skills with your own eyes is enough.

If this condition is met, for example, even if you are a level 1000 hunter, the skill will be copied.

The first person I thought of as a copy target was Jang Si-hwan.

However, Jang Si-hwan’s attractive skills were not necessarily unique to Jang Si-hwan. Moreover, it was a bit different from Kanghu.

Opportunities to copy skills cannot be ignored, so think carefully.

On the other hand, because I kept worrying about it so much, it seemed like the perfect situation to save it and turn it into shit.

“Shall we look for the 1000-year old beast?”

I changed the direction of my thoughts.

A thousand years old.

He is a named assassin in China and is an old man who must have just turned 70 this year.

Since he was an assassin like Ganghu, there were quite a few skills that could have been left out.

However, he has responded to outsiders with thorough punishment, to the extent that his nickname includes the word ‘Sal’.

So, no hunter tried to approach the space where the 1000-year old beast was currently staying.

No matter what purpose he came for, he dies by his hands without even having a chance to explain the reason.

“Although it is risky, in terms of value, it would be better to be a veteran. “I have to go to China soon.”

No matter how I thought about it, it seemed like it would be a good idea to copy the skills from someone who had the same skills as an assassin.

He has many assassin-specific skills, including wide-area killing and single killing skills.

Even if you can successfully copy just one of them, future battles will be considerably easier.

Of course… it was unclear whether it would be possible to get close enough to visually inspect the skill.

Kanghu thought of other things he could definitely do in Japan.

The matter of copying skills related to the Thousand-Seven-Year-Old Beast is meaningless even if you think about it until you go to China.

“Was Japan the corrupted truth?”

What immediately came to mind was the set effect related to Corrupted Faith, the dagger that Ganghu is wearing.

【Corrupted Determination – Displays the locations of 5 items with the set effect ‘Corrupted Determination’.

The item can only be displayed when it is in the dungeon, and it cannot be known if it is owned by a specific person.

The list of five items is as follows: 2 types of dagger, breastplate, necklace, and ring.】

Of the 5 types, the dagger is in Kanghu’s possession.

When I checked the locations of the rest, the breastplate was in Germany and the necklace was in South Africa.

One of the two rings was in China. And one remaining species was confirmed in Japan.

It was easy to pinpoint which dungeon I was in because it displayed my current location like a GPS.

But the problem is.

“It’s the Fukuoka Liberation Zone.”

The question was whose jurisdiction was that dungeon?

In Japan, it is called Fukuoka Kaihoku and has the same name as the liberation zone in Korea.

Looking at the characteristics of the situation, the situation was similar to Osan in Korea.

Multiple guilds were competing for the right to mine an open dungeon and a magic stone mine.

There was a guild that almost achieved hegemony, but it was lost at the last minute due to the formation of an anti-force alliance.

This is an area far removed from the jurisdiction of the Ricou Guild. You can’t expect help from the public.

So I called Youngho Ahn. I wonder if you have any connections in the Fukuoka Liberation Zone.

He will find a way to help as much as possible.

* * *

Perhaps because I drank a lot of coffee all evening, I couldn’t sleep when dawn came.

So, I headed to the underground training ground that had been rented out of Fumiya’s kindness.

I was thinking of giving my body a little relief since I couldn’t sleep anyway.

It wasn’t that I didn’t feel tired, but I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t want to lie down in a daze.

There were various weapons inside. It feels like everything is there except for what isn’t there.

Of course, it was not an expensive weapon because it was for practice training purposes, but it was good enough for individual practice.

Kang Hu played with the dagger for a moment and then pushed it away.

Since I had been holding the dagger for a whole week, I wanted to avoid any interaction with it for now.

“I’ll give it a try.”

The weapon chosen by Ganghu was the magic bullet gun.

Thanks to the passive skill, Extra Sense – the weapon, there was no need to separately learn the basic controls.

Since there are no Gunner-related skills, you cannot use skills that utilize magic bullets more effectively.

However, it was possible to fire basic magic bullets by condensing mana.

This is because all you have to do is gather the mana into one point.

Then, the gun’s own focusing device gathers the mana in one place and begins compressing it to the maximum.

Beep. Beep beep. Beep.

Kanghu pressed a few buttons on the training device located in the training area.

With a device that creates a virtual target, the desired level can be realized in the front.

It is implemented using magic stones and is a type of mana lump. It can be seen as a defensive wall concept that resembles the human body.

The setting is a level 200 hunter. We implemented a virtual target with similar durability and stamina.

and.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh!

Ganghu began to infuse mana into the magic bullet gun with all his might.

As soon as it started, all existing mana was swept away and disappeared, and mana hypersensitivity immediately occurred.

Then, as if looking at a vacuum cleaner, the surrounding mana was explosively sucked into Ganghu.

The mana seeped into the gun, and the magic bullet gun vibrated every time.

As time passed, it started to turn red and showed signs of overheating.

As my body felt the strain of excessive mana recovery, I was starting to feel a headache.

“Whoa.”

After taking a deep breath, Ganghu aligned his aim and shot the virtual target.

It was a trigger pulled with only mana infused into it. I didn’t use any skills.

Right then.

Spoong…!

The virtual target exploded.

At the same time, the message ‘Instant death’ was displayed on the electronic display board on the right.

What do you mean?

The magic bullet that Ganghu had just fired was powerful enough to instantly kill a level 200 hunter!

‘Can mana hypersensitivity be used like this? If so, the magic bullet gun would be surprisingly compatible with me.’

Ganghu’s eyebrows rose.

Of course, you won’t be able to use the same blow repeatedly.

It was not a card that could be used immediately in an emergency situation because it required time to accumulate magical power.

However, using a magic bullet gun as a secondary support concept seemed quite good.

Or, it would be possible to steal an enemy’s gun and use it for improvised purposes on the battlefield.

Suddenly, I remembered something Ban Se-young had said before.

A genius assassin who does everything by himself.

I laughed at the foolish thought that if I were to be able to use other weapons, then I would be able to call myself a genius ‘hunter’ who could do everything on his own.

“Really, I have no humor or sense in these types of things.”

Kang-hu was a person who judged himself calmly and better than anyone else.

* * *

While Kang-hu was resting and looking for a way to get to the Fukuoka Liberation Zone through Ahn Young-ho.

Takashi was looking at the DM window of the Hunter Gram secure account with no contact even after a week.

“Did you get upset because I pointed it out? “I didn’t think he was that narrow-minded.”

I haven’t heard from Kang-hoo since I sent him the first message on the day we met to confirm his address.

Although he wasn’t someone I really wanted to meet, he was someone whose skills I wanted to learn more about.

But when I didn’t hear back from him, I thought he must have been disliked for some reason.

Actually… I was bored.

There has been very little interaction with Justice’s colleagues these days.

The only time we briefly gathered in Seoul was to see Vincent and Elizabeth.

In reality, no one paid much attention to him when everyone was gathered.

Of course, I didn’t expect that to happen.

I just hoped that we would at least have a conversation about each other under the name of ‘colleague’ or ‘friend’.

They didn’t even talk to each other properly, wondering if they were busy with their own work or if they weren’t interested at all.

Emilia and Yu Qinghua, who usually treated them warmly, were preoccupied with the new member, Elizabeth.

Even after that, they both went to the dungeon and couldn’t be contacted.

Although he is a member of Justice, he feels alienated to the point of loneliness.

Takashi was not showing it, but he was feeling a cold and chilly feeling throughout his body.

“There are definitely no useful assassins. “I don’t remember seeing a decent guy recently, but he…”

Kang-hu was clearly different.

So I kept thinking about it.

It seemed like he definitely didn’t show everything in front of him, and it would be fun to take a closer look if he poked around.

However, finding Kang-hu first without a good cause somehow hurts his pride and makes him look bad.

I decided to throw some bait.

however.

“How come the guy who wants to be friends doesn’t contact me like this? “Are you the kind of friend you only find when you need it?”

While sending the message, Takashi was making noises.

He’s an annoying guy, but I still want to see him! That kind of guy was Kanghu.
