The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 193
Episode 193: Joy, Hatred (2)
* * *
It started off on a good note by killing the soul hunter and luckily obtaining Dark Age 1.
Kang Hu and Ahn Yeong-ho continued to move forward after that, often encountering soul hunters.
Maybe it was because I got used to it while dealing with him, but from the second time on, I steadily crushed him without trial and error.
So Kanghu devoted himself to practicing to keep adding darkness to his basic attacks.
Ahn Young-ho followed the method taught by Kang-hu and focused on practicing attacks using healing.
Of course, there was no way he would be full after the first drink, so Ahn Young-ho failed repeatedly to the point of tears.
In the first place, Kang Hu did not give advice to Ahn Young-ho because he thought he would succeed right away.
If that were the case, all healers in the world would be combat healers. There is a reason why combat healers are valuable.
What Kanghu believed in was Ahn Young-ho’s talent. Because it seemed like he could do it.
Just as Ahn Young-ho looks at himself and says, “Even though he has many skills, I think it’s natural because he’s my older brother.”
The same was true for Kang Hu. Since it was Ahn Young-ho, I thought I could do it.
So we passed the first section of the dungeon, or what is called Area A.
We finally entered area B.
From here on, it was a section where Ahn Young-ho was absolutely necessary, and it was also a section where Kanghu welcomed Ahn Young-ho’s presence.
This is because the debuff is always activated.
From Area B, a debuff called ‘Plunder’ is activated, and the boss monster of this dungeon continuously steals stamina.
If it ended at the level of simply losing stamina, it wouldn’t actually be a big problem. Because I can endure it.
The problem is that as time passes, the status of the boss monster at the end of the dungeon recovers.
In other words, it sucks the hunter’s vitality and uses it as nutrients for one’s own recovery. It’s like throwing porridge and giving it to a dog.
So, it was necessary to move forward quickly while recovering stamina. It can be seen as a difficult two-track.
“Brother, don’t worry about my physical strength. Don’t worry about your physical strength. “I’m really good at lubricating heels.”
As soon as his stamina was reduced by the looting debuff, Ahn Young-ho’s healing came in explosively.
I was already surprised by the energy and was looking back to see Ahn Young-ho grinning and raising his thumb.
“The healing speed is very fast.”
“Yes, I have completed my own optimization. “It’s a trade secret, but I’ll tell you.”
Maybe it’s because of the Clairvoyant Constellation of Truth, but this guy doesn’t have the option of hiding. Always go straight.
Kanghu organized his thoughts before answering.
Once you say something, and if he is activating the clairvoyance of truth, he can never tell a lie.
“I would be grateful if you could tell me, but why should I, who has no business becoming a healer? “Put it away.”
“You are the savior of my life. I can tell you everything. Oh, of course, excluding guild secrets.”
This too is Ahn Young-ho’s sincerity.
Fortunately, I didn’t have any strange thoughts about being shot in the head.
The reaction would have been different if I had told him that since he was my older brother, I could also reveal guild secrets.
“Anyway, I really like the speed. “What about mana?”
“This is not even a message. “I paid a lot of attention to mana items, so it’s okay.”
“Okay then let’s go right away. “It’s a battle of speed.”
“We will support you!”
Faaah!
Kang-hu rushed out immediately.
The corrupted demon was made to roam near Ahn Yeong-ho rather than the front line.
Although it is very unlikely, a ghost-type monster could appear from the rear.
What greeted Kang-hu as he rushed forward were three monsters named ‘Slayers.’
The Assassins are guys who look like typical black masked people and can be thought of as virtual assassin opponents.
The attack was similar to the normal assassin style, but had the characteristic of losing a lot of stamina when injured.
Although durability is greatly reduced, the ‘Massage’ debuff is activated as soon as you receive three deep cuts.
The debuff effect is simple. Instant death.
Ta-da-da-da-da!
Ganghu and the assassins faced each other and ran at full speed.
As the two sides got closer at such a fast pace, the distance narrowed much faster than previously calculated.
【Shadow Walk】
【Illusion Art】
Woe!
Just before Ganghu almost collided with the assassins, he deployed two skills in succession, disturbing his vision.
In an instant, illusions and silhouettes identical to those of Ganghu poured out, causing the assassins to stop in their tracks.
It was a common reaction.
Since we cannot predict whether this will be an illusion or a shadow or what kind of threat it will pose, we stop for now.
Withholding judgment was an obvious choice for the defense, but there was one problem.
【Clone Art】
【Lateral Movement】
There are many combinations of skills that Ganghu can use.
While the murderers paused, Ganghu caught their attention with illusions and shadows.
I moved laterally behind them and immediately went into hiding. Having an alter ego set up is a bonus.
Because it happened so quickly, the assassins saw Kang Hu’s self-immolation as real.
“Keuuu!”
Making a sound that I couldn’t tell whether it was moaning or laughing, the three assassins aimed at Ganghu’s self-immolation at the same time.
They seemed to have decided that Kang-hu’s ‘shadow’ was not dangerous, so they paid attention to it for a moment and then ignored it.
However, Ganghu had moved the three shadows one after another to the backs of the murderers.
Phew! Phew! Sigh!
Soon, the daggers of the assassins fiercely cut into the body of the self-immolation. It was so powerful that it hurt just to listen to it.
Next moment.
Faaah!
【Grand Decapitation】
Pugh!
Ganghu, who switched positions with a shadow behind the decapitator, immediately delivered a decapitation.
I felt my body becoming heavier due to the use of mana and stamina unique to Decapitation, but I ignored it.
In assassin-to-assassin battles, speed is everything.
Ganghu switched positions with two more shadows in succession and delivered two more decapitation blows.
The three murderers, who had committed self-immolation in front of them, got along so well that a hole was made in the back of their necks.
and.
[Blood Flower]
Finish with a blood flower!
With a half-beat gap in time, the murderers, spouting blood from the back of their necks, fell forward one after another.
It was difficult to survive as the explosion occurred through blood inside a pierced neck wound.
“and!”
Youngho Ahn was impressed.
How many assassins can ravage their enemies so stylishly yet so destructively?
Ahn Young-ho thought that the fight Kang-hu just saw was like a movie or a well-drawn painting.
I also felt like the main character in a novel.
Even if the enemy is flying and running, he will ultimately completely subdue and kill him… that kind of hero!
But the admiration was short-lived.
“Whoa.”
When Kang-hu stumbled slightly, breathing heavily, Ahn Young-ho quickly stretched out his hand.
The most important thing right now is the recovery of Kang-hu, the man he is working on.
Meanwhile, Ganghu picked up the orange magic stone that one of the slayers dropped when he died. It’s worth 10 billion won.
“Brother, are you okay?”
“Because it is a skill that requires some stamina. But as soon as I started to recover, I gained strength.”
“Performance is okay, right?”
“good. “I believed it.”
Ganghu nodded.
Ahn Young-ho’s healing definitely feels different. Does it feel like receiving highly concentrated recovery energy?
Perhaps because of this, the recovery speed of physical strength was fast and the extent of recovery was much greater than in normal cases.
“Brother, I am also the type of person with a quick eye. “To be honest, I didn’t know where my brother was this time.”
“I guess the connection wasn’t bad.”
“It’s not that bad, it’s absolutely amazing! “I think Godslayer is here?”
The reality is that most assassins today are called assassins who are nothing but a burden. And considering the fact that there aren’t that many of them.
In Ahn Young-ho’s eyes, the sight of Kang-hu actively planning the game and creating the situation on his own was bound to be cool.
In fact, the person involved reacted as if it was no big deal. Ahn Young-ho thought Kang-hoo was amazing.
Despite his great skills, he is never bossy or rude. Is there a virtue of humility?
“let’s go. Thanks to you, I refilled my stamina right away. “There is no need to waste time.”
“Yes brother! Let’s go right away!”
The two quickly settled a situation that had once seemed like a waste of time, and hit it off right away.
It was forward again.
* * *
While moving.
There were several battles.
However, thanks to Ahn Young-ho, who allowed me to eliminate concerns about my physical strength, I fought without any worries.
I was able to focus only on the battle, and thanks to crushing monsters one after another, my level reached 197.
And as the section with the boss monster moved to Area C, Kanghu was lost in thought for a moment.
As I felt the cool breeze blowing from somewhere, I felt like my head, which had been immersed in the battle, was slightly relaxed.
‘The supply of red stone has been cut off these days. I think I missed the task of obtaining skill books for other classes.’
The gemstones needed to upgrade skills and items are valuable as they are valuable.
In the beginning, I had a good supply of rubble stones, and thanks to that, I had fun upgrading my skills and items.
However, since I haven’t been able to get it in the dungeon lately, there hasn’t been any news since the last upgrade.
There are a few places where you can have a lot of fun with the supply and demand of rubble.
North Korea is nearby, and there are also a few places in China. This is also the place where Jang Si-hwan went in the original work.
If the time of possession had been much earlier than now, I would have had fun in many places.
However, now that some time has passed, some of the fault lies with Jang Si-hwan.
Rubber stone is a by-product with high strategic value.
At least after today, I don’t want to hand over any of Jeok Yo-seok into the hands of Jang Si-hwan and his gang.
‘I have to go to North Korea at least once. There is enough motivation to go, including the supply and demand of Mad Solarchium.’
Kanghu organized his thoughts.
If you go through Master K, you will be able to find an easy way to enter the north.
In some cases, we may have to collaborate with him, Hyung-seo Moon, or Bo-hye Hwang. You won’t be able to do it alone.
‘I need to get some skill books too.’
If you limit your scope to assassins, it is very difficult to obtain skill books.
However, if you obtain a skill book from a profession that is classified as an unpopular class, you have more options.
Since other class skills can be absorbed without penalty through tricks anyway… there is nothing to choose.
‘I’m busy.’
I’m really busy.
If I had lived a life that was complacent, it would have been a comfortable life of leisurely living each day.
The damn fate of the savior keeps looking up and constantly whipping me to run.
And since I knew the ending would lead to catastrophe, I didn’t want to let it go that way.
‘Even if it’s only half the amount, it’s not enough.’
That’s what I thought.
I wonder how convenient it would be if only five or six of the thirteen stars could escape.
Even if Takashi is taken out, there will still be twelve of the thirteen stars left.
Kang-hoo is of course a hunter with a low sense of belonging, like Yu Cheng-hwa or Emilia.
I also wanted to get rid of those who were expected to officially join in the future.
You can’t touch Jang Si-hwan, Chae Gwan-hyung, and Casey Vincent. It is meaningless because they are corrupt to the core.
However, there is room for improvement in the rest. It is not entirely impossible to create a crack.
