The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 189

Episode 189: The Good, the Bad (2)

* * *

Kenji’s sneer.

It had meaning.

If they fall from the air like this, the guy who appears to be an assassin will have no means of escape.

We deliberately chose to open a space where there were no facilities around us that we could rely on.

Although it was great to know how to use the space movement skill using shadows…

the two were falling from the air in the middle of nowhere, making it impossible to use it as a means of escape.

“joy.”

Kenji snorted at Kang-hoo, who was looking down at him with an expressionless face, and prepared to open the space.

He planned to time it right so that only he could get in and Kang-hoo couldn’t.

I also finished all my calculations.

Fall has no wings. There is no place for a wingless assassin to go but to hell.

But right then.

“…Tsk!”

Kang-hoo made a hand gesture towards him, and then his body was irresistibly dragged towards Kang-hoo.

It was a kidnapping skill.

Kenji, who had not expected the assassin to have this kind of skill, was caught defenseless.

It was a mistake to be so confident.

However, he didn’t just open his eyes and get attacked, so he used magic skills to protect himself while being dragged away.

Thanks to this, a protective shield was created that barely covers the entire body.

Tooung!

Ganghu’s plan to stab Kenji in the stomach with all his might went astray.

Next moment.

Wow!

Ganghu, whose attack was aborted, hugged Kenji with all his might without even going deep.

It was a hug so intense that if three people saw it, they would have thought they were seeing a couple hugging each other and trying to meet their end.

“What the fuck…?”

Kenji’s face turned pale.

The space has not yet been opened.

The timing was worst.

“What are we going to do now? “Either we die together or we live together.”

Then, Kang-hu’s voice, tickling as if whispering in my ear, was eerily calm.

I wasn’t emotionally agitated, nor was I consumed by excessive anger.

“Are you a fool?”

“Introduce yourself?”

“Fuck…! “Isn’t this really crazy?”

“Why are you introducing yourself?”

Kanghu increased the intensity of his hug.

Kenji was still surrounded by a protective shield, so there was no way to wound him with a dagger.

However, it was possible to tie Kenji up entirely. In addition, it forces a choice.

“Are you saying you want to die together?”

“Then, from my perspective, it’s a cheap business.”

Ganghu laughed.

Looking at Kenji’s constellation information, no matter how low you set it, he is easily level 400 or higher.

There are many constellations that can specialize in space utilization.

Part of me wants to kill him and take the constellation, but his defensive skills are as good as his ability to utilize space.

It seemed like the original work didn’t say that the only way to kill Kenji was when he died.

A world where killing and dying are natural, but a world where people are even more desperate to protect themselves.

Kenji was a hunter who specialized in ‘not dying’ rather than killing. It can be seen as the complete opposite of Kang-hu.

Kenji glanced down. As the two tangle and fall, the acceleration is accelerating.

If we continue like this, we will die together like Kang-hu said.

No matter how much you cover yourself with a protective shield, you cannot be unharmed even if you fall from hundreds of meters in the air.

“Damn.”

Kenji opened the space.

At this rate, I would escape safely with Kang-hu, but I had no time to worry about that.

Because I can’t commit suicide with a crazy person who wants to die with me. For now, it’s something to live with and see.

Up until now, I thought I had been living in a detached or indifferent manner towards death, but

after experiencing it, I found out that was not the case.

When I thought that I could really die, my mind went blank.

Sigh!

Soon the space opens up.

Coo! Coogung! thud!

Kanghu and Kenji were caught inside and rolled for a long time on the cold asphalt.

In the meantime, Ganghu, who did not lose sight of Kenji, took out a dagger and struck it with a flash of lightning.

Easy profit! Cough!

But Kenji’s response was also quick.

As if he thought the existing shield was not enough, he created a thick mana shield in front to block the dagger early.

And by alternately accelerating and leaping, Kang-hu, who was trying to close the distance, opened up a new space and pulled away.

Kanghu did his best to create a variable in the situation, even using shadow walking.

Since there are five shadows, the calculation was that if one of them was selected as a surprise, Kenji would also be exposed to a loophole.

Sreuk! Sarah! Slurp!

But it missed spectacularly.

Kenji responded by opening several passages according to the number of shadows.

The shadows, each drawn into a new space, disappeared without a trace from Ganghu’s sight.

‘good. I like it. This is how it lives up to its name.’

Kang-hu nodded when he saw his connection was completely aborted.

Kenji’s response was neat.

He had a way to completely eliminate the variables of the shadow itself, and it matched the correct answer that Kang-hoo had thought of.

A person with good skills has both the judgment and the ability to respond appropriately to the situation. Kenzie did that.

‘It’s tricky to be picky.’

To put it broadly, Kenji is a magic hunter, but his defensive abilities are unique.

Ganghu had a hunch when the massive decapitation attack he had struck with all his might in front of his nose bounced off the shield.

It’s not a normal defense ability.

This is because the destructive power of a decapitating blow is not enough to be withstood by any defense mechanism.

Moreover, in close combat, the magic world is treated like a corpse. However, this did not apply to Kenji.

at that time.

I saw Kenji glance elsewhere.

A gap that naturally arose as we distanced ourselves from Kang-hu. It was another space creation aimed at that gap.

There is only one reason to open a space even though there is no issue you are approaching. Yuuji must be coming.

‘There is a difference between curiosity and recklessness. It’s not this university’s job. ‘Should I clean up and get out?’

Kanghu put all his strength into his two legs. It is difficult to win against the fantastic combination of Kenji and Yuuji.

It’s not because your skills are lacking, but because the gap in the total synergy that can be created through combinations is too large.

So I changed my target.

I decided to target Yuuji, who was likely to come in through that passage.

I would never have imagined that Kenji, who was hiding so well, would be fighting with other hunters.

Ta-da-da-da-da!

sprint!

Kenji ignored it.

And when he saw the silhouette of a man coming through the open passage, he used all his might to decapitate him.

We also did not forget to lay down torpedo pads on the passage as an auxiliary concept. It was a whirlwind.

Next moment.

“Kenji, why are you so late…gagging!”

Yuuji, who had been going inside without thinking, stopped when he felt a heavy pain in his stomach.

At the same time, the person who had stabbed something into his stomach suddenly disappeared to the other side of the aisle.

A passage that soon begins to close naturally.

“Huh?”

Yuuji was engulfed in deep pain without any time to think about who had just stabbed him.

It wasn’t just a simple slash with a dagger. It passed with all its might, tearing the muscles and flesh of the side.

Absolutely! Quick!

Moreover, the feast of electric current pouring in the air is a bonus.

Kenji, who recognized the situation, blocked it with a protective shield, but the wound on his stomach could not be reversed.

“C-C…X.”

Slurp!

Yuuji sat down.

Just a moment ago, Yuuji had been happily trampling on Rikou’s guild members and enjoying the difference in power.

And as I entered the passageway opened by Kenji, I was struck by an unexpected blow.

Yuuji looked back.

Then, she saw a man, Kang-hu, watching her from the other side of the aisle.

In addition, some of the Ricou guild members who joined Kanghu at a time lag were also witnessing the scene.

“Yuji got stabbed! “I was bullied by this person!”

“Fuck you, you bastard!”

“Did you think you would be invincible forever? uh?”

They were cheering as they felt refreshed at the sight of Yuuji being struck by Ganghu.

On the contrary, Kang-hu’s calm appearance from start to finish feels foreign.

Yuuji and Kenji clearly captured Kanghu’s appearance with their eyes.

I don’t know the name or affiliation yet, but I will find out someday.

“Cough!”

Yuuji vomited blood.

The internal injuries are worse than I thought.

For now, it seemed like leaving the scene quickly should be the priority.

But that wasn’t the end of Yuuji’s bad luck.

widely!

I heard the sound of Kang-hoo snapping his fingers.

Puff poop!

Immediately, blood sprayed out of my stomach.

and.

Sigh!

The door to the open space closed.

This was the moment when the nightmare began for Yuuji, who had come to Osaka to ‘play’ with Kenji.

Fatally injured! Urgent treatment became necessary.

* * *

after that.

Kang Hu immediately returned to his lodgings in Ricou Tower.

I had no intention of explaining the situation in detail to Rikou’s guild members, so I declined the conversation request.

Even considering the fact that there were no executives, it would have been a huge scratch on the pride of the Ricou Guild.

Fumiya and other executives will probably have a hard time trying to figure things out because of this incident.

Because their pledge to take responsibility and protect at least the safety of Osaka City was in vain.

The excuse that Kenji and Yuuji had no choice because they were named names wouldn’t really resonate with people.

Ugh! Ugh!

As soon as I plugged in the smartphone, which was turned off, and turned it on, it started vibrating.

I looked to see what was happening and saw that personal DMs from Takashi to Hunter Gram were arriving one after another.

It looks like the DM I sent earlier came as a bomb alert because I just turned on my smartphone.

– What are you doing now? Have a one-on-one with Kenji?

– Kenzie is really good at using spatial skills. The defense ability is also good. It must be difficult with your skills, right?

– He’s not dead, is he? It wasn’t caught on CCTV?

-Where did Yuuji go again? If he is still alive, see him and contact me right away. Because I’m worried.

– Are you not receiving calls? Don’t die!

“What is this madness?”

Ganghu looked embarrassed.

Originally, I knew that Takashi was the kind of person who would be considerate of even the smallest of concerns to those close to him.

However, I felt strange because I felt like they were ‘genuinely’ worried about my danger.

Have we become friends in a short period of time?

If Takashi had seen himself fighting with Kenji through CCTV…

I thought he might have felt a sense of kinship with his response to the situation based on pattern theory.

There is no need to doubt Takashi’s sincerity. I was worried because I was really worried, and fortunately, the result was good.

Kanghu contacted Takashi using Hunter Gram’s voice channel.

Then, even before the signal rang once, Takashi picked it up.

-Are you alive?

“He was alive.”

– Hey….

Takashi’s words that followed were a feast of curses that didn’t need to be listened to.

Kang-hoo, who had taken his ear off his smartphone for a moment, soon put his ear back on as Takashi’s voice quieted down.

– This is not the only hunter who fell for Kenji. Even if it was out of curiosity, it was too reckless. that.

“Was it that bad? “It seemed like something worth doing.”

– This is a scam. Very stupid… If Kenji wasn’t paying attention to Yuuji, he would have died!

“I went there because I knew I would be concerned. “Anyway, I’m still alive, so don’t worry too much.”

– Life is one coin. be careful.

Takashi’s last words made my heart tremble quite a bit.

right. When you die, there is no more.

Shin Kang-hu in the original also had a crazy spirit that rushed at him like a hunting dog.

Looking back, I realized that the possessed person looked exactly like that.

At that moment, curiosity took precedence over fear or fear. Enough to completely suppress negative thoughts.

Isn’t nature going somewhere?

It was really fun to deal with a hunter who was much stronger than me. I even got a good shot at him.

Still, as Takashi said, everyone should keep in mind that everyone has only one life.

For those who die today, tomorrow is just an imaginary time that will never exist.

And he was a person who had a reason to live more intensely tomorrow than today.
