The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 217
Episode 217: North Korea (3)
The Punisher, unaware of the situation beyond the Qigong River wall, condensed the Qigong bullet with all his might in his right hand.
I prepared to send the Qigong bomb beyond the silent wall.
As much as we were careful with each other, I thought Ganghu would be waiting rather than preparing to attack.
Even if they were preparing to attack, the assassin had to approach, so he thought it was his job to attack first.
but.
Kuaaaa!
“…?”
A question mark appeared on the Punisher’s face as he heard a loud roar. Have you ever heard a sound like this?…
Magpie!
Damn it!
…was.
Baekilcham flew in like an angry bull and instantly blew away the Qigong River Wall and the Punisher.
The wall shattered like a glass window, and the Punisher behind it instantly became a headless ghost.
He lost his life so suddenly that he died without even having a chance to close his eyes.
“Ugh.”
After confirming the Punisher’s death, Ganghu groaned, clutching his throbbing forehead.
When I concentrated my magic power to its limit without resorting to any other means and threw it away, I got a headache.
“But I finished it once, so it’s okay. “I feel it every time, but the performance is certain.”
It is not for nothing that White Day Strike and Black Moon Strike are called hidden skills.
Unlike regular skills, which have some limitations on maximum firepower depending on skill level and composition.
Hidden skills produce output as certain as the input invested. The stronger you are, the stronger you become.
This becomes a variable.
If you cannot predict the strength of your opponent, the power of hidden skills also goes into unpredictable territory.
That’s how the punisher dies.
Kanghu leisurely collected three Mad Solarchium flowers. A total of 15 pieces were finished on site.
In addition, I collected the Solarchium that was with the Mad Solarchium flower and cleaned it further.
15 Mad Solarkium.
20 Solar Kium.
Of the two purposes for coming here, securing Solar Kium has become somewhat of an endgame.
Although I was a bit greedy about filling up about five more Mad Solarchiums.
Since the point was too far north, I decided to give up here.
Even if it is not today, there are many days to save it, and there is a possibility that K will save it through another route.
We decided not to overdo it, as Moon Hyeong-seo or Hwang Bo-hye could step in and save the situation if the situation were to arise.
‘Now let’s find the brood queen.’
Next goal update.
The target is the Heart of the Brood Queen, which is the material to unlock the random skill book.
Since the existence of hybrids has been confirmed, there must be a brood queen somewhere.
Now it’s time to find her.
* * *
Around that time.
Gong Seok and Go Joo Hee were reporting to Jang Si Hwan about Kang Hu.
The information is carefully organized and handed over so that Jang Si-hwan, the final decision-maker, does not have to go through the trouble of looking for it.
The role of the two people was in charge of training and recruiting talent.
For the two, Kang-hoo was a talent that needed to be recruited quickly and was the number one priority of interest.
For Jang Si-hwan, the meaning was different.
From the two people’s perspective, Jang Si-hwan was a really busy person.
He had a lot going on right now and had a lot to do.
In addition, due to the personal problem of not being able to disclose it to the outside world, the training time was significantly increased compared to before.
There is a problem with the ability to deal with dark times.
A flaw in an ability that had previously been handled without problems.
This isn’t common. Unless something happens that suddenly causes you to lose your abilities.
In any case, for that reason, Jang Si-hwan had many issues to prioritize.
So, interest in Kang Hu was not as explosive as Gong Seok and Go Joo Hee.
It could have been a difference in eye level.
In the eyes of Jang Si-hwan, who has already passed level 800, Kang-hu is just a ‘slightly special’ assassin.
I thought that there was not just one assassin, but that there were equally capable assassins in other countries as well.
After carefully reviewing the contents of the document, Jang Si-hwan looked at Gong Yoo-seok and Go Joo-hee alternately and said.
“There continues to be conflict issues related to Eclipse, and this time you had a fight with Kenji and Yuuji, right? “You also killed a hunter who came to kill you and a Toushi guild member?”
Go Joo-hee answered first.
“That’s right. According to information obtained through unofficial channels, it appears that he also contributed to the downfall of the Osho mercenary group.”
At that moment, Jang Si-hwan’s eyes changed slightly and then disappeared.
“Where was Osho’s mercenary group?”
“This is a human trafficking organization operating in Gangwon-do.”
“Oh, I see. It did.”
Although Jang Si-hwan had a nervous expression, the two did not attach any particular meaning to his expression.
“Seeing as they participated as an exploration team in conquering the Hell of Judgment more than anything else, they seem to have some good feelings toward our purification guild.”
“If you look at the fact that he committed a stabbing with Eclipse and had blood on his hands in Japan, this is not a typical move. Yes?”
“I think so too.”
“But I participated in the attack on Judgment Hell, and I participated as an exploration team, not a strategy team… Why?”
Jang Si-hwan squinted one eye.
The eyes are reminiscent of a different direction from the direction that Gong Seok and Go Joo-hee are wondering about.
The hidden skill gun.
At that time, hidden skills related to assassins clearly appeared in the Hell of Judgment.
Vincent was also interested in it and came to Korea to take away the hidden skill.
Of course, at the time, there were many assassins other than Ganghu who applied for the exploration team rather than the strategy team.
Thanks to Yu Cheong-hwa’s introduction, there were more than ten assassin hunters who came as mercenaries from the Shintu Guild.
They also applied to the search team to gain experience, so if Kang-hu was put on the list of suspects, they had to be included as well.
I also remember having Vincent kill Shin Hee-seong, a promising assassin in the guild who was under suspicion.
Of course it was a mistake. In any case, the owner of the hidden skill has not yet been revealed.
Gong Seok changed the topic.
“In fact, we can say that our activities in Japan are more dazzling than our domestic activities. “The treatment from the Ricou Guild is also quite good.”
“First of all, let’s not overheat and move. Then, guys like that will raise their noses early.”
“What should I do?”
“In my opinion, the hunter named Shin Kang-hoo is a person who wants to hide more than he wants to show.”
“You mean…”
“Go on two tracks. “The two of you should make direct contact, but keep an eye on each other separately.”
“Then, shall we arrange a meeting through Lee Ye-rin?”
“That would be good. Yerin Lee is friendly to me and our guild. Let’s go that route.”
Jang Si-hwan made a decision.
At the same time, another secret instruction was added.
“And I mean. “Do you have a list of Assassin Hunters from the Shintu Guild who previously participated in the Hell of Judgment raid?”
“Yes, there is.”
“Research everything. “It doesn’t matter what the budget is, just investigate everything and report it yourself.”
“All right.”
Ten assassins from the Shintu Guild.
And Kanghu.
Among these eleven people, there is definitely someone who possesses a hidden skill.
And if Kang-hoo possesses a hidden skill… he seems like he would be a talent I would definitely want to have by my side.
A skill that only exists 77 times in the world.
Just being selected for that skill means that it has enough potential and future value.
* * *
Time passed and it was just before noon.
Ganghu was in a certain village, although he could not specify the exact place.
Because the entire village was a hybrid paradise.
All the beings wandering the streets like zombies were hybrids.
In that case, Ganghu’s calculation was that there would be a pack queen nearby.
Ganghu was hiding in hiding and quietly watching the situation.
Hybrids that repeat a set period of time like a machine.
There are no corpses or bones to be seen around.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there are no dead people. Hybrid breeds also ‘cannibalize’ without any hesitation.
Since the bones were chewed and eaten, the possibility that the traces were completely erased could not be ruled out.
at that time.
‘It stopped.’
The entire group of hybrids stopped in place as if frozen.
Does it feel like seeing a North Korean soldier facing his leader?
There was a moderation on the subject of hybrids. Even the way he turned his head in an angular manner was truly a sight to behold.
There is only one being that can achieve this level of control all at once. The pack queen.
‘also.’
A monster in the shape of a woman is seen entering the entrance on the right side of the village.
Although she is naked, her entire skin is stained yellow and black, like the body color of a wasp.
It felt like a 2m tall woman wearing full body tights that copied the body color of a wasp.
What is different about the human figure is that both hands are trimmed like sharp thorns?
In the original work, the Brood Queen was only mentioned by name, but her appearance was never described in detail.
In the end, this is also the realm of the unconscious, and it was much more threatening than the vague image I had in my head.
at that time.
‘…hmm?’
A picture was added that was not what Kanghu expected.
A group of armed trucks arrived at the left side entrance of the village, not the right side where the group queen entered.
Because the distance was far away, I couldn’t hear their conversation, but the facial expressions were definitely not Asian people’s.
‘Kashmar Guild?’
This is a possible picture.
Even if your base is on the beach, you just need a means of transportation to get inland.
Hunters who got off the truck used specially modified guns to capture the weak hybrid species.
The hunters seemed to have no idea that there was a pack queen, so they mainly captured hybrids that were transformed into young children.
Seeing as they didn’t kill it, it seemed like there was some research or strategic purpose behind it.
An imminent situation!
just as expected.
The pack queen, sensing a suspicious feeling, suddenly became very angry and ran towards the entrance on the left.
‘Is it a reinforced type?’
The speed at which he kicked off the ground and ran was so fast that it was beyond imagination.
It was much faster than Kanghu running at maximum acceleration.
I was wondering why it didn’t use its wings, but now it seemed to run faster than fly.
and.
Soon, the hunters caught up in the angry pack queen began to die one after another.
There was no fighting.
Every time the pack queen passed by and swung her sharp arms, her body was cut like tofu.
For Kang-hu, who unintentionally becomes a viewer, it is an opportunity to observe the pack queen’s attack pattern.
But for the guys on site, it was hell itself.
‘The standard is too low.’
He is not skilled enough to be considered a hunter who has entered the dangerous area.
Of course, it could have been because of his high standards, but he seemed to lack basic response skills.
At that time, the one hunter who reacted properly plunged his greatsword into the back of the pack queen.
One of the swordsman hunters who had just been hit but survived was killed.
Sigh!
Kang-hu stood up from his seat.
I was wondering when to decide when to step forward, but now that the pack queen was injured seemed like the right time.
It is unknown who the dead hunter over there was and where he belonged.
Hunters who operate systematically in this land are 100% connected to crime. It’s not normal.
Victory and defeat.
life and death.
In a battlefield where there are only dichotomous options, the only thing that is meaningful is the result. I didn’t care about the process.
