The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 202

Episode 202 Change (2)

* * *

“Whew.”

The moment Cha So-hyuk died, Kang-hoo’s first reaction was a loud sigh.

Is it relief? Or is it relief?

It seemed like it was both.

On the other hand, I thought it was a sigh of relief at the thought that he was a worthy opponent to the point where I felt like I was fighting for my life for the first time in a long time.

‘The constellation has a good harvest.’

Things that were not visible while concentrating on the battle come into view.

The constellations stolen by Cha So-hyuk and the black magic assassin are clearly visible. And the items they wore.

There are too many to check them one by one right now, and more than anything, Mad Solarchium’s duration will end soon.

In other words, it is a situation where the runaway locomotive must be stopped and the heat that has built up to the end must be cooled.

I see Ayane walking.

I had promised her the items the archer had. This is also the part where the conversation with her ended earlier.

She decided to guarantee a decent amount of loot upon the death of the hunter in whom she had 100% stake. This is so obvious.

Kang-hoo retrieved the items from the three hunters he killed and immediately called Ahn Young-ho.

– Yes, brother.

“Youngho. “I think I need to do some cleaning up.”

– yes? Did something suddenly happen? I knew you were going out, but…

“There was a hunter who had a personal grudge against me and three hunters from the Toushi Guild. “I wore epaulettes.”

– No, what is this… Are you okay, brother? Are you hurt anywhere? Are you safe? Where are you?

Kang-hoo calmly responded to Ahn Young-ho’s worry-filled voice pouring out like a rapid-fire gun.

“Oh, it’s okay because I killed them all. However, I think I need to clean up after myself. “I’ll take a picture of the address and send it to you right away.”

– Okay, brother. Since my uncle is next to me, I will tell you right away.

“Let’s do a favor.”

This is also under the jurisdiction of the Ricou Guild, so there shouldn’t be any problems with the settlement.

Kanghu planned to dispose of all the items recovered from the three hunters except for those that could be worn.

There’s also the matter of disposing of the orange magic stone obtained from the undead dungeon I went to with Ahn Young-ho before… It

feels like a lot of work in one way or another, but anyway, all the annoying parts are solved.

【The quota of 2 murders per day has been met.】

【If you perform a ritual to pray for the soul of the victim, you can gain stats twice at random.】 A

mean priest constellation who naturally shows off his presence.

Since the importance of stats cannot be overlooked, Ganghu offered his own prayer.

Of course, I did not sincerely wish for a return to paradise. I just hope that even when I go to the afterlife, I will suffer in hell.

He had no intention of peacefully praying for the rest of his life to the person who tried to take his life.

In that way, I prayed for peace twice and gained strength and agility stats of 3 each.

Since the stats don’t come from digging, it’s a benefit.

at that time.

Ayane, who had already come here from far away, looked at Ganghu with sparkling eyes and said.

“As expected, my eyes were not wrong. amazing. “You’re the assassin I want to be!”

Even when we first met, he said something like that, so I thought he would do it now.

Thanks to her, the plan was made easy.

We needed to reduce the number of players by one as we were outnumbered and outnumbered, so it helped a lot.

In fact, it was because Ayane was there that the game was planned so aggressively.

If I hadn’t had her, I would have changed my plans. Either lure out Cha So-hyuk, or go the other way and target only him.

“great job. I am indebted to you. Now then…”

“…Huh?”

Right then. Kang-hu, who continued speaking, stumbled slightly.

Cold sweat was dripping down Kang-hu’s forehead, which seemed fine until just a moment ago.

* * *

That night.

Ayane, who had settled into a hotel in downtown Osaka, was thinking about what happened today.

I drank quite a bit of wine from my wine glass, but for some reason I didn’t drink any of it.

As I was reliving vivid memories, did I even have time to get drunk? That’s how interesting today was.

“I don’t care who the dead people are. However, it reminds me of Shin Kang-hoo’s movement skills, one by one, and that’s really… cool. cool.”

Ayane smiled as she looked at the night view of Osaka city below the open window.

Until now, I have rarely had the experience of laughing while watching a hunter other than myself fight.

Because there were a lot of fights between poor hunters who had many flaws from start to finish.

Some people said she was strict about her gaze, but I thought there was nothing wrong with her having such high eyesight.

In the eyes of Ayane, who was so picky in evaluating the hunter’s movements, Ganghu was perfection itself.

That’s why you keep being mesmerized.

Admiration, respect, and curiosity for the strong. That was the driving force and source of fighting spirit that made me who I am today.

“But…”

There was just one thing that bothered me.

Just as he was about to start cleaning up, Kang-hoo broke into a cold sweat and soon sat down to rest.

I was constantly sweating and my face became pale. Like a person who is seriously ill.

He said it was okay and sat down on the rock for a while, but he also pressed his forehead while moaning softly.

“Maybe I’m terminally ill…”

That’s what I thought.

Suddenly, my heart ached.

Could it be that I’m becoming more and more lonely as I burn my little remaining life like that?

Considering Kang Hu’s first impression and appearance, it wasn’t a strange picture at all. Because it felt like I was only living for today.

What hunter in the world would think of going head-to-head with a hunter whose level is nearly three times higher than his own?

The battle between Ganghu and Jeungseonrak was exactly like that. Because I knew his level was below 200.

No matter how low you set Jeungseonrak, he was a level 550 or higher.

“I might not see you next time. “You could die…”

As I thought about that, sadness, loneliness, and solitude were added to Ganghu’s appearance. I also shed tears.

Ayane immediately picked up her smartphone. Today could be my last, so I wanted to leave a message.

* * *

Same time.

Kanghu burst into laughter when he saw the DM from Ayane through Huntergram.

“It’s a time-limited decision. “I didn’t know you could use your imagination like that.”

What Ayane sent was a very cautious message, asking if Kang-hu was in a lot of pain and whether there was no way to treat him.

At some point, Ayane realized that she was terminally ill with only a short life left to live.

It was understandable to think so.

From the moment I encountered her after the battle, I had to sit down and rest due to the aftereffects of Mad Solakium.

After making some adjustments, I sat down on a rock and barely moved to catch my breath.

So, I belatedly wondered if I should have taken Gaksinhwan.

Although it lasts only a short time, it enters a state of awakening that far exceeds its limits.

However, I saved it because I didn’t want to regret it later, but I thought I’d probably end up using it sooner or later.

For example, when dealing with Go Gyeong-ho for the Pure Dark Seeker’s ‘constellation test’… it seemed absolutely necessary.

Kanghu sent a reply to Ayane. Speak in a serious tone, but with a lot of fun.

[Yes, I could die as soon as tomorrow.]

That is not entirely wrong.

Even if we are terminally ill, we cannot guarantee the safety of tomorrow for everyone living in this world.

“The skills were clear.”

A gunner with the ability to kill a hunter in one hit with a magic bullet sniper from a considerable distance.

It was an unexpected connection, but Kang-hu thought it would be okay to be close to her.

It is Ban Se-young’s higher compatibility. Just by looking at it that way, Ayane’s value has increased significantly.

at that time.

A message came from Youngho Ahn.

It was said that the final appraisal of the items and magic stones he had been entrusted with to sell had been completed and sales had begun.

There was also talk that an official statement would be released at the Ricoh Guild level.

Although he was an outside guest, he entered the guild’s jurisdiction and was openly targeting Ganghu, so he seemed to think that he should not just pass by.

Since that was a matter for each guild to decide, I didn’t pay much attention to it.

first.

Kang-hoo looked at the items he had brought with him to wear, in addition to the items he had entrusted to Ahn Young-ho to sell.

First, I removed Molis Maniche, a grade 5 armor item.

And I put on the gloves I got from the assassin.

The name is ‘bad relationship’. It is a level 3 item.

There is no need for Molly Maniche anymore.

As the weapon can be retrieved at any time using the soul imprint, its former utility value has disappeared.

【Bad Relationship – Gloves】

【Grade: Grade 3】

【Dexterity +100】

【Blood Wind – Additional weapons can be used, limited to daggers. However, the additional weapon must be of a lower grade than the main weapon.】

Bloodshed effect.

This is why when Kang-hoo saw the evil-yeon gloves, he decided to wear them no matter what.

The content is simple.

This means that the use of dual daggers is possible only when wearing these gloves.

To be precise, when you pick up one more dagger, the stats of that dagger can also be applied.

According to the existing system, daggers are only permitted to be worn on one part, just like other weapons.

When there is a bloody effect, up to two are allowed.

Currently, the dagger Kanghu uses as his main weapon, Corrupted Faith, is level 2.

Then, the calculation is made that all you have to do is wear the blood clots you have in reserve. Because it’s a grade 3 dagger.

“I need to practice double dagger techniques from now on.”

I got to handle two daggers, but it would be even funnier if I just held them and didn’t use them.

I planned to train whenever I had time. Since he is ambidextrous, he can also use a dagger with his left hand, so he will adapt quickly.

Next, I took off the grade 5 shoes ‘Where the Wind Leads’ that I was previously wearing. Agility dropped by 50.

However, the agility stat of the newly worn grade 4 shoes ‘Stella’ was 100, so it went up by 50 more.

I even wore a blood clot and checked my stats for the first time in a while. Thanks to the blood flow, the amount will rise considerably.

【Shinganghu Lv. 197】

【Class: Assassin】

【Unique Talent: Fairly excellent main power / Very good body vision】

【Strength 1063】【Dexterity 1168】 【Stamina 909

】【Magic power 21】

【Anti-horsepower 560】【Toughness 710】

【* Darkness 446】

“ “By minimizing investment in stats and items for magic, you can gain a lot of stats in other areas.”

The strength and agility are well over 1,000, and the physical strength is just shy of 1,000.

For a normal hunter to use this level of setup, they must be at least level 350. Even with item investment.

However, as the surplus created by not investing in horsepower was poured into other directions, the increase was clear.

It is a spec that is incomparably superior to that of an assassin of the same level.

This is because, in order to solve a chronic problem of magic power, one usually invests in magic stat items, thereby running out of slack.

In any case, increasing magical power meant nothing to Ganghu.

The pain caused by congenital mana hypersensitivity is a phenomenon caused by the explosive absorption of mana.

It’s a matter of speed, not quantity.

In the future, there will be no need to invest in magic stats as long as you have this characteristic.

Rather, it is a situation where you have to grit your teeth and prevent the magic stat from exceeding 50.

Considering that all hunters are struggling to somehow increase their magic power…

it was a truly ironic trait.

Of course, that is also Shin Kang-hoo’s identity.

It’s a fingerprint-like characteristic that will never change.
