The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 220

Episode 220: The Brood Queen (3)

* * *

Before discussing with K about disposing of the Brood Queen’s body, Ganghu first said goodbye to Jeong Yu-ri.

Jeong Yu-ri, who only rested for one day, said that starting today, she will again begin her forced march to conquer the dungeon.

Her energetic and active appearance was something that both Kanghu and K welcomed.

Maybe that’s why she waved until the two were out of sight as she left in the safety limousine.

After waving goodbye to Jeong Yu-ri for a while, K spoke to Kang-hu with a strange smile.

“I guess it’s just my imagination that Yuri seems to be greeting you more than me, right?”

“You might be mistaken.”

“Well… I guess I’d rather like a handsome and likeable young man than a dull old man.”

“Are you jealous?”

“Oh, right. “Are you saying I don’t think my granddaughter will stay as my granddaughter forever?”

“It’s a joke.”

“Cluck. “I’m joking too.”

Kang-hoo doesn’t usually joke.

However, there was a part of K that made me feel at ease while talking. Is it a unique feeling that a person gives?

“Walk. “It’s not something that can be discussed only in the office anyway.”

“Yes, of course.”

Kanghu walked at the same pace.

K walked three times slower than Kanghu.

Since he is an assassin in the first place, Kang Hu-wah has no choice but to make basic daily movements quickly.

K’s style of always living with a relaxed mind and with as much leisure as possible was very different.

So, every time Ganghu took a step, he mentally counted from two to three. That way, the steps were roughly correct.

“The brood queen’s body can be disposed of in two ways. The first is to sell it to me immediately and receive 7.5 billion won.”

“The amount is higher than I expected.”

“I can use my resourcefulness to sell it at a higher price, so what about high and low? “It’s too early to jump to conclusions.”

“Aren’t you being too honest?”

“I know. Was I being too honest? Anyway, the first is that method, and the second is receiving the gall of the pack queen.”

“Are you working on it yourself?”

“no. There is a businessman. I can’t tell you who it is. “But I guarantee you a bottle of bile.”

“In the end, one bottle of bile is worth 7.5 billion won.”

“that’s right. “It could be the difference between quick cash out or investment for the future.”

The Bile of the Brood Queen has the effect of amplifying the effects of awakening buffs or awakening drugs by three times.

It is known that the duration is 30 seconds and there are no special aftereffects.

However, you can only obtain a bottle of bile by killing a brood queen, so it is a very precious liquid.

Excluding price and looking at rarity alone, it is higher than Mad Solar Kium or Gakshinhwan.

“How long does it take to extract the bile?”

“If it is not purified, it is no different from poison, so two days at the earliest, including purification?”

“okay.”

“Once production is complete, I will deliver it either quickly or by hand, so don’t worry about delivery.”

“Is it possible even if I go abroad?”

“of course. “Delivery is what I call ‘delivery’, including making sure it gets into your hands.”

“Then I’ll take the second option. “I think the value of the bile would be several times more.”

“I already thought that would happen.”

K laughed.

It was a look in his eyes that showed that he knew from the beginning that Kang-hoo would not consider the first option.

It is true that the Bile of the Brood Queen is very effective in amplifying buffs. It’s so good that I crave it.

But that didn’t mean I wanted to catch the brood queen again. I was exhausted enough from today’s battle.

Even if I had to catch it again, I wish I had a hunter by my side to assist me at that time.

That evening.

As his body was sinking heavily, Kang-hu was able to rest at the villa thanks to K’s consideration and enjoyed a night alone.

Yesterday, when Jeong Yu-ri was there, it was still crowded, but when I was alone, it was extremely quiet.

As I replayed today’s battle with the pack queen, I remembered the feeling I felt through Gakshinhwan.

It was a feeling that the world, which was clearly full of despair and tragedy, was now filled with joy and enthusiasm.

For a moment, I felt like I would be happy even if I died like this. Excitation of the peripheral senses was also achieved.

I also thought it might be some kind of orgasm. Although it was short, that moment was a continuation of pleasure.

If I hadn’t been clenching my teeth and fighting the queen of the pack, I might have focused on the pleasure itself.

“hmm.”

Ganghu suddenly remembered several faces.

Kang Bok-hwa, Jeong Yu-ri’s grandmother.

I have a schedule to meet with her regarding the level 1 talisman ‘Infernus’.

Since there has been no contact yet, it appears that the bereaved family with the amulet has not scheduled a visit to Korea.

I had thought about how to deal with the talisman, but I was a little anxious because I was 99% sure.

“If Takashi calls, I can go to Japan. “Is Jeon Se-hyuk the hot issue?”

Half of the recent news about Hunter that I read on my smartphone was about Jeon Se-hyuk.

It appears that one or two branches of Eclipse were not touched. I definitely wasn’t moving alone.

Perhaps that’s why Kang Dong-hyun issued a ‘special kill order’. It is a higher concept than the first-degree extermination order issued to Kang-hu.

What this means is that from the moment the special killing order is issued, a dedicated team will be formed.

The goal is to build a special team within Eclipse to deal with Jeon Se-hyuk. It also means that he will definitely kill you.

I feel like I want to go to Go Kyeong-ho right now and kill him and complete the constellation test.

Unless Go Kyung-ho is an idiot, there is no way he would walk around stupidly alone. Jeon Se-hyuk’s chemistry with his ‘team’ is essential.

However, as a special killing order was issued, it seemed that Go Kyung-ho, Kang Dong-hyun’s henchman, would soon step forward.

The point of contact with Go Gyeong-ho on the battlefield may come sooner than expected. Then access becomes easier.

“Let’s unseal it.”

Ganghu placed a random skill book on the table in front of him and immediately prepared the heart of the pack queen.

Even though it had been stored outside for quite a long time, the heart was in its original condition, not shrunk or decayed.

The method of releasing the seal is simple.

You can activate it by infusing magical power after contacting the sacrifice that the target requests to release the seal.

After that, the target automatically goes through the process of breaking the seal according to the process set for it.

I immediately placed my heart on the skill book and Ganghu began to infuse magical energy into me.

Then, the skill book sparkled with a blue glow, and soon began to suck up the energy of the heart.

‘Is it black magic?’

As if a straw was inserted and everything inside was sucked out, the skill book greedily ate the heart.

The heart, which was obviously full of life just a moment ago, suddenly became a dried out piece.

Instead, the skill book, which had been glowing blue, had suddenly changed to a purple color.

Although the color does not represent a specific profession, this color is reminiscent of a warlock.

‘It has changed.’

The name change occurred immediately.

【Skill Book – Flame of Death】

【Special Note: Only for Warlocks】

It was also a skill book exclusively for Warlocks. To learn, you just had to use tricks like you did in the old days of barbarism.

Although it’s a little annoying.

There was a perk that allowed you to acquire the skills of a warlock without penalty, so there was no reason to hesitate.

Did you mention that the ox horn was also short-lived?

We immediately changed our plan to spend the night here and then leave the next morning.

I was thinking of going to Suwon.

Because there is a Baltic Dungeon managed by the Onnuri Guild. It is the closest and the place where the trick works.

* * *

Late at night.

A man who started to get annoyed when his secretary reported that there was a customer who came to him without a reservation.

After checking the visitor’s personal information, he stood up in surprise. Because it was a familiar face.

“what? Xinganghu?”

“Yes, that’s right. “Do you remember?”

“I remember! “At that time, I was a hunter who had no idea he would grow up this much…”

The man’s name was Han Seung-hyuk.

In the past, he was the team leader who lent Onnuri Guild’s Baltic Dungeon license to Kanghu for 1 billion won.

Even then and now, he was in the same position and had barely raised his level.

It was because I had no desire to grow beyond my current level.

So, I was becoming complacent and living by renting dungeon licenses and collecting fees.

When I first saw Kang-hoo, it wasn’t when his name and face were as popular as they are now.

So, when Kang-hoo said he would rent a dungeon for 1 billion won, I wondered what kind of fanboy he was.

But not now.

He came back as a big name in his own right.

I felt like I could make at least a good impression on Kang-hoo if I ran out and greeted him with socks.

If you make connections with bigwigs, something will come in handy someday.

the secretary asked.

“What should I do?”

“Take us to the guild VIP-only reception room. I do the responding. “Please get there quickly.”

“all right.”

Han Seung-hyuk is already half-bowed even though he hasn’t met Kang-hoo yet.

Han Seung-hyuk naturally had an attitude of being weak to the strong and strong to the weak.

And his judgment placed Kang Hu perfectly in the realm of the ‘strong man’.

* * *

Early morning the next day.

After completing the Baltman dungeon, Kanghu checked the new skills added to the skill window.

I couldn’t even remember what was said during the previous meeting with Han Seung-hyuk. I just remember the low attitude of a typical opportunist.

However, there is a high possibility that I will visit the Baltman Dungeon to learn skill books for other classes in the future.

They took care of Han Seung-hyuk by paying a large amount more than the existing license rental fee. Because people like that are bad with money.

Thanks to this, there is a possibility to access dungeons owned by the Onnuri Guild.

Even if it’s not necessarily a Baltic dungeon, there seem to be quite a few dungeons outside where you can rent a license.

Even though Onnuri Guild is not large, it has quite a few decent dungeons.

I thought it would be quite necessary to have a connection with Han Seung-hyuk.

From then on, I planned to roast him for money whenever I needed to.

He was a hunter who had quite a lot of authority granted by the Onnuri Guild compared to his abilities and skills.

Regardless of his personal personality, he is good at work, so the guild master probably delegated authority to him.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Ganghu was in a nearby vacant lot to measure skill firepower and test his knowledge of how to use it.

It was a space where hunters often tested their skills, so it was not a place where there was any sudden action.

【Flame of Death】

【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max】

【Infuse darkness and create an unquenchable flame of darkness.

The installation type consumes less dark energy, but the range is limited, and the active type creates flames in one’s hands.】 【

‘Extermination’ is activated as a maximum mastery effect.

In addition, you can use the darkness to explode flames.】

If you use it as an installation, it feels like it is implemented in the form of a wall of flame that is commonly seen in games.

When used in an active form, it seemed like it would be possible to manipulate a flame sphere with one’s hand.

If you activate annihilation here and cause an explosion, you could target multiple enemies in a wide area.

Or, damage can be inflicted on a single target in multiple ways. Various applications are possible.

“If you want to eat everything on your own, it’s essential to step into many boundaries. “Is it different from a warlock?”

With a smile of repentance, Ganghu raised his left hand and prepared to cast Flame of Death.

Right now at this moment.

Although it was only for a short time, Ganghu became a warlock who could handle the dark times.

The essence of being an assassin will never change.

However, I thought that if asked about identity, the word hybrid would be used.

Because Kang-hoo clearly had that much diversity.
