The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 235

Episode 235: Underwater Battle (6)

【First, you are granted a ‘Dark Age’ stat of 100.】

【Second, you are granted the ability to recover 1 Dark Age per minute.】

【Third, perfectly mediate to prevent your body and mind from running away in the process of dealing with the Dark Age. 】

First, you can see three familiar perks.

A pure black seeker constellation brought from Jang Si-hwan using a twisted contract.

Thanks to the third effect being taken away from Jang Si-hwan, Jang Si-hwan’s stability as a warlock was greatly reduced.

Of course, Jang Si-hwan has never talked about his instability to the public.

It’s probably being kept completely secret. There is a high possibility that even Chae Gwan-hyung, his closest friend, does not know.

‘Because Jang Si-hwan is just a light to everyone around him. Because light must not waver.’

That’s why Jang Si-hwan, the person involved, must be burning inside.

You will want to somehow find out who took the Pure Dark Seeker. But there is no way to know.

Kang-hoo went directly to Jang Si-hwan’s face and said, “Your constellations are crazy?” Unless you don’t.

Twisted contract.

It would be nice to get it again, but unfortunately I don’t know anything about this.

I just hope that luck will come again. If that happens, Jang Si-hwan’s core will be stolen again.

[You can train to strengthen your ‘spiritual body’ at 6 of the 13 towers in the Fourth Dark Sanctuary.

The strengthening of the spiritual body leads to the growth of the dark age, but from the moment you enter the tower, it is impossible to contract with the constellations related to divine power.】 ‘This is it

. ‘The fourth one.’

To understand the basis of this perk, the first thing you need to know is what a Dark Sanctuary is.

Ganghu has a constellation called ‘Guardian of the Dark Sanctuary’.

In the past, when Yoon Sang-mi was in danger, he killed and robbed the fixer, and his hometown is the Dark Sanctuary.

According to the setting of the original work, the area where the constellations are located is broadly called the Great Sanctuary.

Compared to the real world, the Great Sanctuary can be seen as the Earth.

When discussing ‘humanity’, if you look at it from a larger perspective, it is true that we live on Earth. That’s exactly the concept.

Here, if we were to find a shape similar to the dark sanctuary, it would be the North or South Pole. It is an area with a special environment.

Only constellations with a tendency toward evil can reside and enter the Dark Sanctuary.

What if a neutral or good constellation tries to enter the dark sanctuary? It disappears immediately.

Conversely, what if a constellation from the Dark Sanctuary tries to change its nature to neutral or good? It also disappears.

If we compare it to human race, it is like black or white. It cannot be changed, and even if it is changed, it is not normal.

The Dark Sanctuary is basically the base and spiritual stronghold of constellations with evil tendencies.

Even though it was not possible to summon the contractee’s physical body, it was possible to summon the spirit body.

After training them here, they are sent back to help them improve their evil tendencies.

That is the dark age.

However, from the moment you enter the dark sanctuary, a kind of stigma is stamped on both your physical and spiritual body.

You will never again be able to form a relationship with a good constellation.

For example, it stands in complete opposition to the constellation based on the divine power contracted with Ahn Young-ho.

‘There is no way I can handle the power of light. ‘You can try to coexist, but you can’t become one body.’

Kanghu once again vividly captured the fourth privilege in his memory.

If there is one shortcut, it is that you can make as many contracts as you want until you enter the tower of the Dark Sanctuary.

If you want to commit contract fraud(?) against a constellation related to divine power, you can do so in advance. It will be applied retroactively in the future and will not break the contract.

‘Spiritual body strengthening training is not something to be taken lightly. If you die there, you will die spiritually and become an idiot.’

The use of the fourth perk needs to be considered carefully.

It is very attractive in that it allows growth in the dark, but it is still a one-coin coin.

【You can use the fifth constellation ability and skill, ‘Order of Nothingness’.

You can burn the target’s dark energy equal to the total amount of dark energy you used.

At the same time, it inflicts 50% of the stamina loss equal to the amount of Dark Age burned and seals the opponent’s Dark Age skills for 1 minute.

Even if your total amount of Dark Age is less than that of your opponent, the mechanism applies the same, but only the sealing time is shortened to 30 seconds.】

‘It’s a Dark Age counter.’

The composition is okay.

This is the perfect ability to momentarily neutralize the opponent as long as you are confident that they have less darkness than you.

Additionally, if you have a difficult Dark Age skill, you can seal the skill for 30 seconds regardless of your superiority or inferiority.

Right now, there is no need to fight a hunter who deals with the dark ages, but in the long run, it is absolutely necessary.

Especially if you think about a warlock like Jang Si-hwan. It is a skill with high future value.

at that time.

【Special Notification】

【Displays the locations of 10 boss-level monsters that dramatically help Dark Age growth.】

Kang-hu’s eyes sparkled at the additionally activated notification.

It seemed like it was a benefit that came naturally as the pure black seeker privilege was opened up to the fifth time.

The location and name of the dungeon or field were displayed, as if indicating the location of the Corruption Set series.

Looking at the list, the closest detected location is… North Korea.

‘Is this North Korea?’

A bitter smile appears.

Since I recently had a life-or-death battle with the queen of the pack, I get very nervous when I think about North Korea.

Of course, it is also a place you must visit. Being picky also means that there is a high possibility of growth.

* * *

Items were also recovered from the dead Go Kyeong-ho.

Starting with the sword he was holding, most of it was focused on things to sell.

Among them, there was one useful item. It was a glove.

【Resentment – Gloves】

【Grade: Level 3】

【Stamina +250】

【Hatred – You can use magical power to maximize the grip strength of the gloves.】

‘In this way, even if you take off the existing soulmate gloves, you will also get 50 more stamina and the variable of grip strength. You can also add ‘.’

Ganghu carefully removed the level 5 armored soul mate, with whom he had developed a lot of affection, from his hand.

【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.】 Stamina increases

by 1 in proportion to your level until level 200, making it useful. The guy who wrote it.

However, once a higher grade is released, the fate of the item eventually disappears into the back of history.

Now it is out of Kang-hu’s hands.

The other side is wearing a pair of evil gloves that allow you to use two daggers as stats.

So, unfortunately, there was no way to be with my soulmate. It would be a good idea to find a good owner.

“Go Kyung-ho didn’t use good gloves properly. Well, it’s true that I didn’t even give myself time to write.”

After changing his gloves, Kang-hu infuses magical energy into his grudge gloves.

Ugh.

Soon, the entire glove became stronger as if veins were sprouting, and a unique strengthened grip and holding power were created.

The best test subject is Go Kyung-ho. The dead don’t speak, so you can test them with peace of mind.

Kuuk.

I grabbed Go Kyung-ho’s wrist.

And as I increased my grip strength while maximizing my horsepower, I immediately got a response from my wrist.

Wow. Wood clatter. Wow!

I heard the sound of my wrist bones breaking and shattering into pieces.

More power was applied as the magic power was injected, and soon the bone in my wrist was completely broken. It has become powder.

It seemed like it would be a useful glove for Ganghu, who often engages in close combat.

If you have to, you can just grab the neck or anything else. If the opponent is a man, vital points are also very good(?) targets.

I looked through Go Kyung-ho’s inner pocket, just in case, and found a bunch of small amounts of drugs in mini plastic bags.

“Instead of spending money on the road to the underworld, go and find something you feel like.”

Kang-hoo tore the packaging of the plastic bag with a dagger and sprinkled white powder over the dead body of Go Gyeong-ho.

“after.”

My body loses strength again.

In this condition, it seemed dangerous to go to the Pyeongtaek branch where Jeon Se-hyuk and Ban Se-young were fighting.

Once the Mad Solarchium effect ends, it is clear that fatigue will hit you like an aftereffect.

If I didn’t use my skills to raise my physical strength as much as possible, my wounds would continue to eat away at my strength.

Kang-hu took out a bandage from his inner pocket, roughly assessed the location of the wound, and wrapped the bandage like a belt.

When I thought about it again, I realized that it was a good thing that I did not experience Go Kyung-ho’s awakening of Gwanghwa directly.

The success of the strategic game caught Heo off guard and harassed Ko Kyung-ho, but it was clearly not an easy victory.

Even when Go Kyung-ho was being pushed back, he took aim and stabbed backwards with his sword.

If I had let my guard down just a little bit, my life could have ended there.

‘Now does it cover up to level 400? If you think about it, I didn’t fight at full power either.’

There is a calculation that allows you to objectively look back on your own skills.

This time, no swords were used, and the battle did not last long and ended at an appropriate point.

Once again, I remembered the old days.

When I first opened my eyes in this world.

He was an inmate of the Cheongmyeong concentration camp whose body was incomparably thin compared to now.

The body of a level 10 pitiful hunter was so weak that his head would spin even after a brief fight.

At that time, I just thought about escaping the camp and making a living somehow.

Now, I am actively shaping my destiny.

At that time, it felt like Jang Si-hwan was at the end of the sky, in a place that was truly unreachable.

Now, it seemed like if I stood on tiptoe and stretched out my hand as hard as I could, I could at least grab the hanging hem of my clothes.

“For now… I guess it would be better to walk a bit and then take a rest.”

Kang-hu got up and started walking in the direction of the Pyeongtaek branch.

This is the route that Go Kyung-ho was trying to run before his death. Ganghu moved slowly.

Rather than wanting to go and fight, I was curious about how Jeon Se-hyuk, Ban Se-young, and their team fought.

If you want to deal with Eclipse in the future, you will have to meet their team frequently.

It is necessary to visually understand the strengths of prospective colleagues who will strategically join forces.

If the group consisted of yellow team members, I planned to boldly act alone.

A teammate who is a burden and does not help the team is much more useless than the enemy they have to deal with.

Kanghu thought so.

After a while.

Kang Hu, who was seated in a position with a clear view of the Pyeongtaek branch, was able to watch the scene of the great fight.

Although underwater warfare in bad weather is difficult for those fighting.

It was a lot of fun to watch from a position where I was watching with my arms crossed.

Kang Hu observed the situation under an abandoned guard post building that was moderately sheltered from wind and rain.

It was perfect.

Taang!

Eclipse’s hunters, who were running away from the branch building for their own sake, were shot by Ban Se-young.

The hunters who survived the sniping were ambushed while running away along the path that Jeon Se-hyuk had deliberately left open.

As Eclipse members kept running away from inside the building, it seemed like Jeon Se-hyuk had clearly taken control of the inside.

Otherwise, there would be no way to go through the thirty-six precepts.

Jeon Se-hyuk said he enjoys stealing Eclipse’s day more than living another day himself.

“Whew. Phew. Phew.”

When he came out of the branch chasing the fugitives, his beard was completely stained with red blood.

His beard was so soaked in blood that anyone would have thought it had been dyed red from the beginning.

That moment.

Jeon Se-hyuk, who was looking around, caught sight of Kang-hu, who was resting at the guard post on the hill.

Then, without even knowing who was first, he raised his hand as if he had made a promise.

Go Gyeong-ho’s blood, which had not yet flowed, was dripping from the tip of the dagger Kang-hu was holding.

“….”

There was no conversation between them, but that was enough to convey the results.

Jeon Se-hyuk bowed his head towards Kang-hoo and expressed his gratitude.

A perfect victory achieved by each person in his or her role!

In particular, it was an outstanding feat for Kang-hoo to kill Go Kyeong-ho, one of Eclipse’s key executives.
