The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 204
Episode 204 Change (4)
【Second. In the case of monsters that provide the dark age, a separate small number display is activated above their heads.】
‘In this way, tweezer farming targeting only monsters with the dark age is possible.’
Target hunting is possible.
You can give more strength to your growth by being able to determine in advance whether there is a reward for the dark period or not.
Of course, monsters with dark ages only appear in dangerous areas such as Ground Zero or North Korea.
So, it is true that the difficulty of hunting is high regardless of whether you have Dark Age or not.
However, it was a very useful perk just to ensure that the effort was not in vain.
【third. You can entrust one of your skills to the Dark Sanctuary and ‘borrow’ one Dark Age skill.】
“This… is the key.”
Kang Hu’s eyes sparkled.
Entrusting one skill would mean a conditional seal.
Although there is an expression to borrow, it ultimately means that you can use the skill as your own during the borrowed period.
All you need to do is give away skills you don’t use and receive skills you can use often. That too with a dark age skill.
First, Ganghu entrusted his most useless skills to the Dark Sanctuary.
【Gross Eater】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max]
【This is a skill that makes even spoiled things delicious to eat.】 This
is a skill I obtained from the Goblin Middle Boss in the Golden Goblin’s Mine Dungeon.
This is a skill that I have never used before and no matter how much I think about it, I will never use it in the future.
I left it to you without any hesitation. It is a skill that causes absolutely no damage even if it disappears.
Then, a list of Dark Sanctuary skills that can be rented was displayed.
The term ‘dark sanctuary’ was not unfamiliar.
This is because there is already a guardian deity of the Dark Sanctuary among the constellations. This is the constellation that killed and robbed the Fixer in the past.
It seems that the skill was probably taken from there, but it also seemed to be connected to the power of the Apocalypse – Darkness.
A long period of worry continued.
The fact that it is a skill that utilizes the dark ages means that it is a destructive and highly valuable skill.
I shouldn’t have made an impulsive choice.
Especially considering the currently limited use of Dark Age skills, further consideration is needed.
How much time has passed?
When the water in the bathtub began to feel slightly chilly, Kanghu finished thinking and chose a skill.
【(Ashen) Thorn Hell】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max]
【Use the darkness to create a band of darkness on the ground.
Along the band, sharp dark spikes rise from the ground.
If precise control is not followed, thorns may sprout or collapse in the wrong place.】
Looking at the parentheses attached to the skill name, it seems that it is usually written as an abbreviation, ‘thorn hell’.
At the same time as learning the skill, information on how to manifest the Thorn Hell was injected.
However, the precise control and control mentioned in the skill tooltip seemed to be an area of training. It won’t be easy.
“I will borrow this.”
Ganghu made his decision.
It is the best reward for giving and receiving a strange skill that makes you eat spoiled food that you shouldn’t eat.
In addition, there seemed to be many corners that could be used to create variables in battle.
In terms of class, it is similar to warlocks and shamans, so it is a skill that is difficult to think of in an assassin.
That’s how Thorn Hell became Ganghu’s skill.
The work to be done has increased significantly.
You also need to work on increasing your skill in the Thorn Hell and train hard with the twin daggers.
Moreover, since there are still imbalance points, I need to go to Sapporo as well.
I had also received a call from Fumiya earlier.
It means that everything is ready. Kang-hu said that all he had to do was come back.
However, looking at the details of the dungeon, it is impossible to clear it solo. So I decided to just fill up my experience points and come.
* * *
After that day.
Ganghu, who was absorbed in training, devoted all his time, except for sleeping time, to training in twin dagger techniques and thorn hell.
I also went to Imbalance Point in Sapporo’s Shadow Dungeon according to my schedule.
The level increased significantly to 225.
For other hunters, the journey to level up would take at least two months, but for Kanghu, one day was enough.
It was a rapid growth that he benefited from alone. Perhaps forever… no one will ever know. If only you kept your mouth shut.
* * *
【Stealth】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max]
【This is a skill that allows you to immediately hide your appearance.
It consumes 0.1 magic power per second and cannot hide its presence or sound. Separate evasion is required.】
“As expected, the maximum effect of mastery is always a fraud.”
Kanghu looked satisfied with the stealth skill.
If skill proficiency is not maximum, mana consumed every second is 1. 10 times the current level.
So it was impossible for assassin hunters to have near-infinite hiding.
In other words, for this reason, I had to pay attention to my magic stats.
This is because a large amount of magical power is essential in order to use the stealth skill, which is no different from a food line, for a long period of time.
However, Ganghu significantly reduced the mana consumed at the maximum level of proficiency, and the amount of mana consumed by the Age of Savagery skill was reduced by half.
Additionally, thanks to mana hypersensitivity, recovery was overwhelmingly high.
It was natural that the burden would be greatly reduced since I had the fortitude to withstand the consumption of magical power.
Now it is possible to hide anytime, anywhere without having to use lateral movement to hide.
‘I’ve now had all the fun of looking at imbalance points…’
There were still two unknown locations, but I only knew the symbolic marks and didn’t know the locations.
Maybe I’ll get lucky later, but right now it seems difficult to find a needle in a sandy beach.
Meanwhile.
I also had fun as a master of the constellation Yabawi, which was activated when I surpassed level 200.
A constellation that comes like a gift every time you level up by 100 levels.
What I got this time was a ‘Random Skill Book’. A skill book where a random skill appears the moment you unlock it.
Learning wasn’t a problem at all since learning was done through tricks anyway. This is a problem that just requires a little extra effort.
However, unlike regular skill books, there was a separate way to unseal the random skill book obtained.
The sacrifice required to lift the seal is ‘Heart of the Brood Queen’.
This leads to the conclusion that one must visit North Korea.
Random skill books always have the potential to be a big hit, so it’s hard to ignore them thinking they won’t turn out anything special.
It was possible to develop skills at the highest level that did not match Ganghu’s current level at all.
Anyway, if you go back to Korea to get Mad Solarium, you have to go to North Korea.
It seems that the issue of going to North Korea has arisen.
It may be quite risky, but the reward is certain, so I had no intention of putting it off. If you go, you go.
‘I’ve been investing in the agility stat since level 201, so I think I’ve taken the second direction well.’
As I passed level 200, I also changed my bonus stat investment to agility.
Now that my stamina has increased enough and the synergy with the items I have has disappeared, there is no need to invest more.
【Soul Mate – Gloves】
【Grade: Level 5】
【With one-handed glove item, your stamina level increases according to your level.】
【You can increase your stamina up to 200.】
Gloves that must be unequipped when you get a higher-level glove someday.
Still, it is a very thankful glove that steadily provides 1 additional stamina until level 200.
Since it does not function from 201, Kanghudo has changed the direction of stat investment with agility and no regrets.
“Now, as long as you complete the dungeon raid promised to the Ricou Guild, you will be free to move around for the time being.”
The remaining schedule has become simpler.
Officially, the dungeon companionship with the Ricou Guild is over.
Afterwards, you can meet Takashi or Ayane, or you can go back to the country for a while.
Currently, I am still in contact with the two people.
Ayane and I decided to have a glass of whiskey in the evening.
It’s not that I don’t know that there is an implicit meaning to it being an adult drinking party.
But I thought it didn’t matter.
Because you take on all the choices and responsibilities yourself. It’s okay as long as it’s not irresponsible. All you have to do is not be selfish.
* * *
“This is the report on Cha So-hyuk’s death. “I checked it myself and there is no missing information.”
“Is that so?”
“…yes?”
“It means it has been confirmed. “He’s already dead, so there’s nothing more I need to know, right?”
“older brother.”
“why?”
“Aren’t you sad?”
“I already abandoned Sohyuk when he was playing outside of my hands. “I knew it would happen like this.”
“….”
At that time, Kim In-ho was meeting Kang Tae-yang.
Kang Tae-yang, the leader of the criminal organization ‘Taeyang’. Kim In-ho was not only his confidant, but also Cha So-hyuk’s close older brother.
Of course, Kim In-ho’s loyalty was only to Kang Tae-yang, so his heart was also inclined towards him.
Whatever it is, the priority is obviously the captain, Kang Tae-yang.
However, it was still the death of Cha So-hyuk, who was a high-ranking member of the Taeyang family…
Kim In-ho felt somehow mean-spirited that Kang Taeyang did not show regret even for a moment.
“That’s why I broke up with Donghyun. The younger brother who doesn’t listen to his older brother. “Does a younger brother like that have any meaning?”
“I was short-thinking. “I’m sorry, brother.”
“You even summoned my past because a prodigal son who ran away died. “Anyway, don’t worry about it.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Make a statement. This was Cha So-hyuk’s arbitrary action, and he would like to express his sincere apologies to both guilds. “I will prevent recurrence.”
“I will.”
Kim In-ho also had some regrets, but he did not linger on them any longer than necessary.
In the end, he is a member of the Taeyang organization and there is no member who can rule over the organization.
Obedience to Kang Tae-yang, who is the leader, older brother, and pillar, is absolute. Cha So-hyuk did not do that.
Kang Taeyang changed the topic.
“Anyway, Shin Kang-hoo is really amazing. “You mean you killed Sohyuk and all three hunters of the Toushi guild?”
“There was sniper support.”
“Anyway, the only one killed by the sniper was an archer. In the end, it means that we made sure to get one to three.”
“That is correct. The subsequent sniping was at the level of obstruction of movement. “It didn’t cause any injuries.”
At the time, Kim In-ho was inspecting the scene.
One of his specialized abilities was the ability to see a desired point clearly even from a very long distance.
Would the analogy be correct if we had the ability to zoom out and expand like a camera? There was just that kind of ability.
“I think I know why Donghyun gave the order to kill us. I must have been quite upset. “Do you have skills there?”
“From what I found, it looks like we have met in person at Club Hades.”
“But you escaped?”
“yes. “They said he used something like the ability to move through space and disappeared in front of Kang Dong-hyun.”
“Fuhaha! “Does the assassin teleport?”
“yes. “This is verified information.”
“It’s fun, it’s fun…”
Kang Taeyang licked his lips with the tip of his tongue. I was more interested in Kang-hoo’s existence than Cha So-hyuk’s death.
I had indirectly heard news about Kang Hoo before due to various issues.
However, it was Kang Tae-yang who I thought was a hunter who wasn’t particularly great.
But this time, after hearing the news of other hunters who died one after another along with Cha So-hyuk, my thoughts changed.
The assassin who was most vulnerable to one-on-many combat successfully defended himself and killed all the others?
This was absolutely impossible unless the basic skill base was at the highest level.
This means that he is not an average assassin.
