The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 191

Episode 191: Focused Eyes (2)

* * *

Level 194.

Dark Age from 305 to 425.

Solarchium stock from 8 to 3 and Mad Solarchium stock from 9 to 4.

This was a change that happened to Kang-hoo over the past five days.

“I would like you to secure as much Solarkium Mad Solarkium inventory as possible.”

– There is no problem with solarium because I grow it myself. The problem is Mad Solarchium….

“Are you having a problem with supply and demand?”

– As you know, Mad Solarchium cannot be grown. Recently, we haven’t been able to secure stock at all.

“Is there any other way?”

– There is, but then you have to enter North Korean territory. Right now, Hyung-seo is busy and Bo-hye is also busy, so it’s not possible.

“All right. Then, I will visit Mad Solakium as soon as I return home and go rescue him myself.”

– I think we should do that now. What more do you need?

“For now, there is nothing. “I will contact you as soon as it happens.”

– okay. Take care of yourself.

And the phone call with Master K has just ended. The call was made about additional purchases.

Solar Kium was okay, but it seemed like there was no Mad Solar Kium in stock at all.

Since Mad Solarchium can only be found in nature, it was no wonder that it was difficult to secure.

Someone could come and take it first, or it could disappear at the hands of a monster.

“Whoa.”

Kang-hu lay down on the sofa, breathing heavily.

Before I knew it, level 200 was just around the corner. If you raise it a little more, you can add one basic skill.

There was no middle boss or main boss in the previous four dungeons, so I only steadily increased the darkness.

Of course, that was also a great income. Because dungeons where you can obtain Dark Ages are not that common.

In addition, the increase in the number of dark times was large because a ghost-type monster that had not been caught before was caught.

If you attack the reset dungeon again, the amount of increase in the dark age will be significantly reduced compared to now.

So Kanghu had no intention of going to the same dungeon again. The question is whether Ricou’s guild will allow it.

“It feels a little empty.”

I took care of the Dark Ages, but I felt disappointed because I couldn’t get a feel for the items or skills.

For that reason, I was looking forward to the dungeon I would go to with Ahn Young-ho.

This is because there are boss monsters in that dungeon and some loot to look forward to.

Sararak. Sarah.

Ganghu fiddled with the medicine bottle containing the Gakshin pill he took out from his pocket.

I keep it nearby so I can eat it when I need it, but I haven’t touched it yet.

It’s much harder to find than Mad Solarchium, so it’s not easy to get your hands on it.

However, just as there is a saying that if you save money, you will waste it, there will come a time when you will have to boldly eat something.

“I’m tired…”

The cozy sofa keeps pulling my damp body.

Lately, as I have been eating Solarkium Mad Solarkium non-stop, I have been feeling a lot of fatigue.

Mad Solakium is not an all-purpose medicine. It is a concept of taking the future and pouring it into the present.

Even if you recover your stamina.

Fatigue and damage accumulated in both tangible and intangible ways are accumulated throughout the body.

Kanghu thought.

I can’t confirm it directly, but if I open the entire body, I think the inside will be completely black.

It felt as if my body and mind were drugged. It looks like cabbage for kimchi that has been well seasoned with salt…

The streetlights at night seem particularly bright and the morning sunlight is not very welcoming.

On the other hand, I also have the foolish imagination that if I continue like this, I will end up becoming a bloodthirsty being.

Sigh!

I pulled back the curtain.

2AM.

The Osaka cityscape seen from outside is full of life. Although it is not as good as Seoul, it has a unique energy.

However, it was a scene that did not particularly impress Kang-hu.

Although the stage of his activities changed from Korea to Japan, the environment surrounding him did not change much.

As relationships arose, bad relationships arose, and a city steeped in darkness also existed here.

Is there no paradise in this world?

Is there no place where I can throw away the dagger in my hand and rest in peace, even just for a week, if not a month?

Where there are dungeons, there are hunters, and where there are hunters, there is always conflict.

Even if nothing seems to happen on the outside, the seeds of conflict are gestating everywhere.

“Ending… Ending…”

The words of the goal that I am moving forward to change echo in my head.

The thirteen stars are still alive and well.

As long as they exist, no matter where you go in the world, you will forever have to smell the stench of the invisible devil.

It’s a long journey.

“….”

Before we knew it, Ganghu had fallen asleep, holding the dagger tightly in his hand.

It was a pretty old habit.

* * *

That morning.

Majinho was welcoming the first and second leaders of the Guru Guild who had just returned home on the morning flight.

The two people who got off at Jeju Airport had bronze-colored skin, as if they had tanned, unlike before departure.

Oh Yu-jin and Oh Hye-jin.

He was in Sweden when Ganghu came as the master and assistant master of the Guru Guild.

As she was a hunter and sister who was recognized for her skills with the sword, she was called to many places at home and abroad.

Majinho and the Guru Guild members who came to Jeju Airport to meet them greeted them and waved happily to them.

Perhaps because we were so casual, there were no formal greetings or excessive formalities exchanged.

“Are you here?”

“No matter how close you are, what does it mean to come to the Master?”

“Are you welcome, Master?”

“Wow, that’s even worse. “Just do it the way you normally do, oppa.”

“You worked hard, Eugene and Hyejin.”

Ma Jin-ho tapped Oh Yu-jin and Oh Hye-jin on the shoulder.

It was a different scene from a typical guild.

If something like this had happened in the Jeonghwa guild, Chae Gwan-hyeong would have stepped in first and made him pay the price.

And Jang Si-hwan will step up to tell him not to do that, but he won’t actively stop Chae Gwan-hyung.

Could it be the role of a good cop or a bad cop? The harmony of hypocrisy and recklessness exists in the Jeonghwa guild, but not here.

The way back to the guild’s hideout.

Sister Oh Yu-jin sent the guild members away and had a delayed conversation with Ma Jin-ho.

The first topic that became a topic of discussion was the story of Kang-hu, who recently visited the Guru Guild as a bleeding dealer mercenary.

My younger sister Oh Hye-jin, who was a bit slow to understand, was busy reading the documents about Kang-hoo.

The people who mainly talked were Oh Yu-jin and Ma Jin-ho.

“I checked all the materials sent. “There was also recent news from Japan updated there, right?”

“huh. There was a code that made a man’s heart flutter. “A hero who saved a grandmother and her granddaughter.”

“It was so cool that I thought it could be called directing, right? Of course, it was not staged but a real situation.”

Oh Yu-jin’s eyes sparkled.

“According to the information, it seems like he went to Japan at the invitation of Rikou Guild. “I heard you met Fumiya Suzuki.”

“That place is originally active in recruiting foreign hunters, right? “There’s nothing strange about it.”

“It definitely seems to be getting a lot of attention. “Nikita Voronin from the Kashmar Guild also came and went some time ago.”

“Aren’t you surprised to hear that the gentleman who didn’t even show his nose when I asked him to see his face in person came?”

“So, that’s right. “The fact that Nikita came forward in person means that he had something to say from the Casmar Guild.”

“I don’t think he would have been interested simply because he was a bleeding dealer. “It’s too fragmentary, isn’t it?”

“I think the reason was that we were able to prove it to some extent by working together as mercenaries.”

The views of Guru Guild members, including Majinho, on Ganghu were all positive.

This was inevitable because I gained too much convenience from conquering dungeons with him.

In particular, even in the eyes of Ma Jin-ho, who is known for being very picky about people, Kang-hoo was flawless and perfect.

“I talked to Hyejin too. “We are trying to promote recruitment at the guild level.”

“Will it work?”

“You have to try it first to know whether it will work or not. Our guild is completely neutral, right? “That could be a big attraction.”

“Neutrality is attractive….”

“There are quite a few hunters in the Jeonghwa Guild who don’t like licking their assholes. This is especially true for noble and arrogant hunters like Shin Kang-hoo.”

“Hyejin, if you give me an example, what is an asshole?… You look frivolous on your pretty face.”

“Then where else are you licking?”

“….”

“Anyway, I plan to actively pursue it. Assassins are in short supply these days. There is also a saying that even hell cannot save a skilled assassin.”

“Is it like that in Sweden too?”

“It’s just annihilation of assassins there. no. “If I get one, I think they’ll scout me and take me even if I’m level 1.”

“That’s crazy.”

“That’s right. “Before our country gets even worse, skilled assassins need to be put on the spot first.”

* * *

That evening.

Kang-hoo, who was ready to go to the dungeon for the last dark period farming, met Ahn Young-ho.

Perhaps because it was a strategy in which Ahn Young-ho participated directly, more manpower was deployed around the dungeon than usual.

It seemed that since it was known that he was Fumiya’s nephew, he could become a target of the Toushi Guild.

Kang-hoo tilted his head as he looked at Ahn Young-ho, who was moving creakingly even in the warm weather.

“Why is it so frozen?”

“I was so nervous thinking I was going with my brother. “It’s good, but I’m really worried.”

“Your level is higher.”

“It’s not that kind of problem. “I don’t have any combat skills, so I might be a burden to you…”

“I think you’re really underestimating the role of a healer.”

“Is there anything else besides the hill shuttle?”

“You have to keep in mind that not everyone can run that shuttle. “My self-esteem is lower than I thought.”

“I’m a bit like that….”

Considering Ahn Young-ho’s inability to tell anything but the truth, those words are not humility but sincerity.

Of course, Kang Hu’s thoughts when he answered were sincere. Healers are not called the flower of dungeon strategy for nothing.

“There are benefits to having a healer’s healing as the foundation. “You can leave minor injuries to the healer and fight like crazy, and you also have the expectation that your stamina will recover at any time.”

“Do you have high expectations?”

“It’s big. “This is especially true for hunters like me, who are accustomed to shedding blood during close combat.”

Although Kang-hoo omitted the following content, there was more to expect from Ahn Young-ho.

His healing ability will be helpful in managing the aftereffects 30 minutes after taking Mad Solarchium.

The state of semi-exhaustion at that time can be minimized or, in some cases, eliminated.

“I’m sorry, brother. “I think I hit him too hard.”

“Run with me and feel it yourself. What a great help you are. “If it doesn’t seem right, I’ll tell you.”

“Yes, brother.”

“Let’s go in.”

Ganghu entered the dungeon right away.

Ahn Young-ho immediately followed, and Kang-hu called for a scouting party to be sent in advance in accordance with the dungeon’s concept.

【Summon Corrupt Demon】

Kyaaaaaaaaa!

As soon as I summoned the corrupted demon with my summoning skill, a scream that sounded like fingernails scratching a blackboard erupted.

“Ugh! What’s this? Are you a ghost? What is this?”

It was an added bonus that Ahn Young-ho was startled by the appearance of the corrupted demon.

But even for a moment.

The gaze of surprise soon turned not to the fallen demon, but to Ganghu. This is because I was curious.

“…Brother, do you have the skill to summon someone like this?”
