The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 199

Episode 199: The Chaser (4)

* * *

After arriving in Osaka.

From the moment Cha So-hyuk saw Kang-hoo’s car and his back, he wanted to kill Kang-hoo so much.

However, there were three hunters sent by the Toushi Guild to help Cha So-hyuk and take revenge.

This is because Kim In-ho asked him to move after confirming that there was no tail behind Kang-hoo.

I was holding on to my bubbling stomach somehow. It really felt like my blood was flowing backwards.

I tracked Kang Hu from a distance for several days.

Kang-hoo, who often goes out for drives outside the city, seemed quite cautious, as expected.

Whenever he went somewhere, he always talked to someone on the phone and looked around, looking alert.

However, there was no escort from the Ricou Guild, which was the thing I was most worried about.

Probably because he’s not a member of the guild, he doesn’t seem to care that much.

On the one hand, there seemed to be a part of me that believed that the entire city of Osaka was maintaining its own level of security.

After waiting for four days, the time has finally come to aim for Ganghu.

After tracking him for more than 30 minutes, we confirmed that there was no security from the Ricou Guild following him.

Even if something were to happen in a sufficiently nearby area, there was no possibility of immediate intervention by outside forces.

Looking at the circumstances, it seemed like they were exploring a hidden dungeon.

Was he planning to claim ownership if he found it?

Cha So-hyuk was disgusted by Kang-hoo, who was only thinking about taking care of himself even overseas.

But at some point, Ganghu stopped moving.

Then he sat down on an old rock that was nearby and looked back.

He even had his arms crossed and was clearly watching this direction.

Soon, Cha So-hyuk and Kang-hu’s eyes met. The first thing Cha So-hyuk heard from Kang-hoo was.

“Cha So-hyuk?”

It was a call from Ganghu, who knew his name exactly.

* * *

– Jang Si-hwan thought. It is better to cut the strings of bad relationships and move on.

Even if you ignore it and let it go, eventually you will catch on and the bad luck will come after you again.

So, even though it may be annoying, I never tried to ignore the bad relationship. He always took on challenges and faced challenges.

Same time.

Kanghu was recalling the words written in the original work.

Even if you think about it, it was a deeply meaningful statement. Because the current Cha So-hyuk is exactly such a case.

Even if you try to ignore it and stay away from it, the tangled threads of bad relationships cannot be easily unraveled.

There is only one way.

To cut off with death. Then, the thread will not stretch and it will not give you the feeling of anxiety that it will become tight at some point.

“Cha So-hyuk?”

Kang-hoo immediately recognized Cha So-hyuk when he saw a face that looked exactly like Cha So-hee.

It was an obvious face that anyone could tell they were brother and sister.

Even when he was living the life of the original author and even now when he is living the life of Shin Kang-hu, Kang-hu did not have any brothers.

So it was always fascinating. Do brothers and sisters all have similar faces?

How would you feel if you saw a younger sister or older sister whose face resembles yours? What if that face was smiling?

I’ve never experienced it, so I can only imagine it. However, I thought it would be really strange if he had long hair and a bright smile on his face.

“Sinjiang Funny Bog.”

Double points on first meeting.

It was an expected reaction, so it wasn’t surprising. Cha So-hyuk probably thinks that his younger brother died unjustly.

“….”

Ganghu used silence as an excuse to check the enemy’s composition.

A total of four people.

Cha So-hyuk is a prosecutor.

Prosecutors are also subdivided according to style, but can be viewed as extreme deal-type prosecutors. This is the type that focuses on attack.

And behind Cha So-hyuk, three hunters from the Toushi Guild are ready to enter battle at any time.

They each appeared to be a warlock archer assassin.

If you put prosecutor Cha So-hyuk together as a group, it is the most damned combination to deal with.

My head hurts because I came up with a combination that works for all close, long, and rear targets.

wee.

I impulsively thought about using the pre-designated location to teleport away.

But I folded it right away. Because avoidance is not the answer. It only buys you a short period of time and then comes back as a bigger wave.

【Great Sage of Gangdong】

【This is a constellation that can see through the invisible. Even when one target is designated and hidden, its appearance is identified in an opaque form.】

First, Ganghu used the Great Sage Constellation of Gangdong to secretly track the assassin.

Since there was no special effect, the assassin was assigned to Kang Hu without realizing it.

We also completed the calculation of our response to the warlock, who appears to be launching an attack targeting the mind.

【first. You are 90% immune to the hunter’s mental attacks coming from a range less than twice the contractor’s level.

Even if you fail to respond with a 10% chance, ‘Visit’ will activate and force immunity will be activated. Re-activation is not possible for only 1 day.】

The first constellation perk is immunity to mental attacks.

Considering Ganghu’s current level, the warlock only needs to be level 399 or higher.

Given the circumstances, it seemed unlikely that Cha So-hyuk would have been given a high-level warlock hunter over level 400.

Since Archer already has a plan promised with the ‘Hidden Card’, he has only thought about responding to contingency variables.

Cha So-hyuk said to Kang-hu, clutching his sword with his veiny right hand.

“Today, I will avenge Sohee and also take revenge on the Toushi guild members.”

“Tsk.”

As soon as Kang-hoo laughed, Cha So-hyuk’s forehead wrinkled. It was a sign of displeasure.

Kanghu continued.

“The message was well written. But I can’t draw a picture. Well… even dirty revenge is revenge, right?”

“You fucking bastard!”

Just like Cha So-hyuk’s temperamental personality, he immediately rolled his eyes and rushed at obvious provocative comments.

Papat! Ugh! Wow!

As soon as it started, a change occurred in the three behind them.

The assassin was seen using the level 200 basic skill, Stealth, and falling to the side.

The warlock was creating a black sphere into a beast at his fingertips.

The archer was using a skill similar to self-immolation while pulling the bowstring. The purpose seems to be to divert attention.

Kanghu immediately poured one Mad Solarium into his mouth. Now there are 3 left.

[Soul Wave]

And I immediately used Soul Wave.

Since the effects of Mad Solarchium had not yet spread, I felt a headache, but ignored it.

Next moment.

Psst…!

The archer’s appearance, which had divided into at least ten branches, disappeared, leaving only the main body clearly visible. The connection was immediately cut off.

at that time.

Taang!

Blood spurted from the archer’s temple along with a heavy gunshot. It was a sniping magic bullet.

“…?”

At that moment, the other three, including Cha So-hyuk, were shocked. This is because there were unexpected variables.

There are no buildings nearby where a sniper could be located.

The only building nearby that could be seen was an old abandoned building, about 900 meters from here.

‘With this level of firepower and speed, it is safe to say that it is close to the Gunner’s hidden skill.’

Kanghu was impressed by the sniping of ‘Ayane’, which had solid performance.

Of course, it is not a special move that can be seen again in a short period of time. It takes quite a bit of time to recharge.

In other words, one-on-three battles are inevitable from now on.

“stick!”

Cha So-hyuk shouted and rushed towards Kang-hoo.

Even though he was surprised, Cha So-hyuk made the most correct decision.

If there is sniper support, it is difficult to aim to mix in with the allies as much as possible.

Since the distance is not close, you have no choice but to be cautious about sniping unless you plan on team-killing.

When Ganghu looked at the remaining three constellation information, he realized that their level was not higher than he thought.

It was assumed that all of them, including Cha So-hyuk, would be in the 300s. If you look at it low, it can go down to the late 200s.

‘Starting with the assassin.’

Ganghu’s first target was neither the most active Cha So-hyuk nor the distant black magician.

It was an assassin of the same class.

This is because the class that is easiest to miss when there are a lot of enemies is the Assassin.

Even if you set up stealth tracking, you can miss your movements if you let your guard down for a moment. So it was a top priority for elimination.

【Immolation】

First, he created an alter ego and sent it to Cha So-hyuk.

【Illusion Art】

Here, the illusions created through illusion magic were sent towards the warlock to intentionally disturb his vision.

[Shadow Walk]

One more option has been created.

Judgment was made difficult by making the five shadows scatter in different directions.

From the opponent’s perspective, it is a mind-blowing picture of eleven different powerful figures in motion, including one alter ego, five illusions, and five shadows.

Rushed towards the assassin.

At that moment, I felt a tickling sensation in my head.

There was an attempt by a warlock to interfere with the mind. It was clear that there were related skills.

However, thanks to the wilderness strategist, the warlock hunter’s attempt was in vain.

At that moment, a strange look was exchanged between the assassin and the warlock.

The assassin looked like he was wondering what on earth was going on, and the warlock looked confused.

It seemed like there was probably a mutually agreed upon play. That was blocked by Ganghu’s mental attack immunity.

You wouldn’t have thought that an assassin with a weakness for magic would respond so easily.

Meanwhile, the assassin of the Toushi Guild was momentarily shocked when he saw Ganghu running straight towards him.

He was in hiding.

Of course, the location can be estimated to some extent by presence, ground movement, wind flow, etc.

However, the route that Ganghu was approaching now was an impossible route unless the location was accurately specified.

X, that’s right!

It doesn’t matter if I get caught.

After all, the fight between assassin and assassin is about who can plunge a dagger into a vital spot first.

I was confident that once I got close to him, I would be able to kill him properly. He also had some killer skills.

But right then.

【Veil of Technique】

Kang Hu completely disappeared from the assassin’s sight.

Kang-hoo became invisible, as if he had been instantly erased from space.

Even with my heightened senses, it was difficult to locate Ganghu.

It felt like I was playing with a concept that was much higher than general hiding. It would be more accurate to say that it is absolute concealment.

The assassin immediately calmed down his confusion.

Isn’t it a situation where we can’t see each other? Then just play tag and that’s it.

Still, just in case, I prepared by holding the dagger backwards and continuing to turn my body left and right.

Anyway, in order to attack, you have no choice but to break the stealth state. There is no permanent hiding.

However, a variable occurred.

“100 million…!”

The body of the assassin who was suddenly lifted was sucked backwards.

Ganghu, who had moved behind the assassin, used the kidnapping skill.

The assassin, who had not been able to find Kang-hu’s location until just before, was dragged away without any time to respond.

The assassin wasn’t stupid either.

He was attacked by an unexpected skill, but while being dragged away, he used self-immolation techniques and erected a shield.

Even in the current situation where it was clear that the skill had been used, it was mysterious that Ganghu’s hiding was not broken.

I did what I had to do.

I went into hiding again, eliminated any presence with martial arts, and used acceleration and lateral movement to do side evasion.

If the proficiency had been at its maximum, the lateral movement would have become a backward movement, but unfortunately, the proficiency was still insufficient.

In any case, it was a standard evasive maneuver that faithfully utilized the assassin’s basic skills.

A perfect response of 100 points, quickly deploying stealth and immediately disappearing again!

The assassin described his response as follows.

But there was one fatal problem he was not aware of.

Hunter is watching all of this from beginning to end with his own two eyes. It was Kang Hu’s presence.

Even Ganghu’s appearance inside the veil of technique was invisible to anyone.

It was perfect hiding.

Although he was an assassin whose level was more than 100 levels higher than Ganghu’s, the difference between his skill level and that world was as big as heaven and earth.

Unfortunately.

Only the assassin himself did not know that fact. There were no frogs in the well.
