The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 208

Episode 208: Gungyeilhak (3)

* * *

Ganghu did not insist on the left route simply because it allowed for dark era farming.

Even in the pre-briefing, it was said that the travel distance could be shortened by more than half if the left route was chosen.

However, since there were many ghost-type monsters distributed, it was natural to filter them out…

From the perspective of Ganghu, who can take advantage of the dark period, it was not an impossible target to attack.

However, if there was no benefit from the dark times, I tried to ignore it, but prey appeared from the beginning.

The name of the monster is Dark Swordsman.

Although it was a simple name that made it look like an ordinary monster, it was clear that it was someone who would help grow in the dark times.

“I will clear the way. Please only deal with non-wraith type monsters. “I will handle the rest.”

“Are you okay?”

“If you are not trustworthy, you can judge by looking at it. “Then let’s go.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Hu’s body jumped forward like a spring.

It is an eternal truth that assassins are fast, but Ganghu’s movements were much faster than the three of them expected.

As Miyuki was blankly looking at Kanghu’s back, Eto next to her asked.

“What are you thinking, team leader?”

“I just… I thought about how I would feel if I faced that hunter as my enemy.”

Virtual sparring is an image training that many hunters try.

Just like when professionals play Baduk, they casually review the process and refine their thoughts.

Skilled hunters were able to picture virtual battles by watching the movements of their colleagues, acquaintances, or partners.

“in conclusion?”

“I would like to say that we can win because there is a level difference. To be honest, I don’t think it will work.”

Just as Miyuki’s honest general review was about to end, the dark swordsman died with a whooping sound.

Kang Hu’s decapitating blow, suddenly delivered to the back of the head from behind, took his life away.

“If it can deal with such dark times, it is bound to become even more threatening. “Wow… that’s fascinating.”

“I heard you were a nameless hunter in Korea not too long ago. How did you suddenly change like that?”

“I don’t know. You may have achieved enlightenment, or you may have been lucky enough to acquire an unusual ability. Or…”

“Or?”

“Are you a returnee from the future like in a novel, or a writer in your own novel?”

“Tsk tsk. “I thought you’ve been reading a lot of novels lately, team leader.”

“That doesn’t make much sense. “Honestly, don’t you think it would be understandable if you gave a reason like that?”

“Yes, of course.”

In the short time we were talking, five more dark swordsmen died.

Beings that can only be killed when there is darkness. So these three are untouchable!

But Ganghu has already dealt with six. Perhaps as a natural result, Kang-hoo does not seem particularly impressed.

“I’m jealous… If you can handle special stats, the pool of monsters you can catch changes drastically.”

Miyuki pouted her lips.

Because she was greedy, she was so jealous of Kang-hu who had so much of what she didn’t have.

That’s why Dark Age and Holy Power stats are precious and their value is overwhelmingly higher than regular stats.

Seeing as he didn’t rest even after dealing with several ghost-type monsters, his stats seemed to be quite generous.

Otherwise, the recovery speed is fast. In any case, you can’t help but be envious.

and.

Hehehe!

In the distance, another dark swordsman fell.

It looks like Kang-hu’s body has already fully recovered.

* * *

In a short period of time, the Dark Age stat increased by 3. I didn’t invest a lot of time and hardly any effort.

I simply found a monster that could easily provide a dark period thanks to the second perk of the Apocalypse – Darkness Constellation.

In terms of the game, it feels like you know in advance which monsters will drop items and then hunt them.

felt good.

The dark age stat became 449.

In addition, since the dungeon is currently in a ‘night’ state, the skill ‘Seven Nights’ is activated, and the dark recovery speed doubles compared to before.

I felt like everything was going well from the start, so my body felt lighter.

Although he is a strong player with no real jinx, a dungeon attack that started well always ended well.

* * *

after.

The group’s strategy, which chose the left route, was a two-track strategy.

Ganghu kept sniping and catching only the ghost-type monsters, while the other three caught other monsters.

The route was definitely short, but the density of monsters was high, so the increase in experience was significant.

Maybe it’s because of the uniqueness of being a special reinforcement dungeon, but thanks to that, my level also went up.

226. You have already experienced leveling up once before facing the middle boss monster.

If it had been a normal dungeon…

I would have thought that by now I would have reached half of my experience points, or a level that could be likened to 225.5, and that it had risen a lot.

Kanghu asked Miyuki about the middle boss monster for confirmation.

“You said she was Mibo, right?”

Mibo. It is an abbreviation for middle boss.

Miyuki nodded.

“yes. This is Duke Bluth. Bluet is blooming in German, right? “It’s a name that has its own meaning.”

“It’s an outfit that lives up to its name.”

The Duke of Blut, standing in front, was fully dressed in formal attire, reminiscent of a nobleman from the Middle Ages.

It is a wizard monster and its main specialty is ‘Blink’. In other words, it means that it is good at short-distance instantaneous movement.

However, there is one variable. Besides Blink, one of the skills I like to use is ‘Vampirism’.

It is said that because of this, several of the Ricou Guild Hunters who had previously attacked died from blood sucking.

It is not easy to do because it literally provides life to Duke Blut by sucking blood, and the person dies from shock.

Once bitten, it appears that it cannot be easily escaped due to the fangs.

at that time.

Coo coo coo coo!

Recognizing the presence of an intruder, Duke Blut spread both hands forward and immediately made a hand sign.

This is a pre-attack movement.

Then, numerous magic spheres appeared above the magic circle and smoke began to rise.

“Ha!”

Eto cheered and raised his shield with all his might to block the forward movement.

It was not an ordinary shield, but a very sacred-looking shield that emitted golden flashes.

The range was very wide, and the sturdiness seemed so durable that Ganghu was impressed.

Quagga-ga-ga!

A considerable number of magic spheres collided in succession at once, but Eto’s shield blocked them brilliantly.

Young-ho Ahn assisted Eto’s physical strength. This is because his defense skills consume stamina.

Meanwhile, Miyuki, who had created multiple flame spears, was hiding behind Eto and deployed magic in a surprise attack.

As a wizard hunter who specializes in targeting a single target, the magic flew straight out like a huge fire dragon.

but.

Papat. Pot. Pot.

Duke Blut, who knew how to freely use Blink, escaped the scene too easily.

Miyuki’s evasion was so quick that it was disappointing. It was so excruciating that Miyuki sighed and sighed.

However, Miyuki immediately regained her composure and spoke as if making a request to Kanghu.

“First of all, since he moves quickly, look at the angles step by step… okay?”

I naturally turned my attention to where Kang-hu was, but he wasn’t there where he was supposed to be.

“Youngho, what happened?”

“What?”

“Where did Kanghu go?”

“Behind me… huh? what?”

Everyone has now become aware of the existence of Kang-hoo, who disappeared without a sound. It’s hard to tell when it disappeared.

Ganghu was already spinning hard.

This is based on the fact that Eto’s shield skill has a flashy effect and accelerates the reaction in magic collisions.

Therefore, Duke Blut was also unable to recognize the presence of Kang-hu, who had entered through a detour while in hiding.

‘You only have to stick with it once. Because people like that tend to have blind faith in their own evasion skills.’

There was a target.

Why does Ganghu feel less fear of death even when facing high-level enemies?

This is because there is psychological ‘insurance’ that allows you to use your teleportation ability to escape the scene if the situation arises.

Ganghu thought that it was because of Blink that Duke Blut was able to approach battle with ease.

So, I was confident that if I could counterpunch Blink, I would be able to create an opening.

Eventually, the distance between Ganghu and Duke Blut began to narrow to within a 15m radius.

“Heh.”

Duke Blut, aware of Ganghu’s presence, smiled at Ganghu. When I got closer, it was a smile that made me wonder what you could do.

He puts his hands together lightly.

This is a preliminary action before using the blink skill. Also called casting.

however.

“profit?”

His face turned earthy.

This is because blink was not used. It’s not that it couldn’t be used exactly, but the activation itself was blocked.

Meanwhile, Ganghu, who had already narrowed the distance, grabbed his dagger and prepared to deliver a massive beheading.

Duke Blut had time to react once more. It was a situation where defense skills could be used.

but.

‘I knew so.’

As Ganghu expected, Duke Bluet used Blink again. This is because he judged that his casting was poor.

What is the price of misjudgment?

That’s a lot of time lost.

And time lost on the battlefield means pain that will bring you closer to death.

Phew!

“Kwaaah!”

Kang Hu’s massive beheading landed in Duke Blut’s left chest. The dagger stuck so well that even Kang Hu was surprised.

Of course, due to the nature of the monster, this did not lead to instant death. But it was clear that it was a fatal blow.

The moment when Kang-hu took out the dagger and was about to put it back in.

“Kahhh!”

Duke Blut tried to suck blood, so he jumped and jumped backwards to escape.

Taking one more shot is important, but what’s more important is taking one less shot.

“After all, it’s easier to be stupid.”

Ganghu laughed as he looked at Duke Blut, who was clutching his chest with a painful expression.

Of course, Duke Blut wasn’t really stupid, just because he was playing in Ganghu’s palm.

The problem was that I blindly trusted my main skill. Confidence that Blink will not be blocked for any reason.

The immersion in this was completely shattered by the suppression of spatial movement skills, a special privilege of Ganghu’s constellation.

【Fifth, within a radius of 15m, you can suppress 99% of the spatial movement skills used by everyone except you.

However, skills that open passages between spaces or distort limited spaces are not suppressed.】

Kanghu confirmed the privilege again with a proud expression.

It was a half counter to Kenji, but it was a complete counter to Duke Blut.

It is also a counter to Chae Gwan-hyeong, a ‘space + swordsman’ hunter who frequently uses the blink skill alone.

I was confident that if I ever got into a situation where I had to deal with Chae Gwan-hyung, the special privilege would shine.

* * *

Meanwhile.

The moment when we see Duke Blut, who was struck by a decapitating blow from Ganghu not long after the battle began.

The remaining three party members who were watching the scene while responding to his magic attack were astonished.

Because something unbelievable happened.

Just a moment ago, Duke Bluet had easily avoided the attack with his blink skill.

However, he did not use the blink skill on Ganghu. No, it was clear that I couldn’t write it.

then.

“Is there something else that inhibits spatial movement?”

The conclusion comes out the other way.

Is it really right to only give Kang-hoo the title of assassin?

Although they didn’t say it out loud, all three of them were thinking the same thing.
