The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 250

Episode 250: The Thousand Killer (2)

“Did you feel it?”

“You can tell when you see them hiding and waiting on the road you are about to travel. “Let’s go first.”

“hmm?”

“You’re not going to take the test together, are you?”

Kanghu pointed to a side road on the right. Because you can go to K’s villa that way too.

“You already figured it out before I even said anything.”

“I think it’s a natural process. Let’s go now. “You can’t take the test with a teacher from another class.”

“okay. Please be careful and there is no need to overdo it. “It means don’t take risks.”

“Just tell me that. All I have to do is arrive at the villa safely?”

K nodded.

What this means is that while on the way to the villa, you will be disturbed by the celestial old man in various ways.

Only if you get through this and arrive at the villa safely will you pass the test of a 1000-year-old veteran.

“be careful!”

K seemed to be worried and spoke again emphatically.

Tests are essential to win the heart of an old man, but we are cautious because we know that they are also dangerous.

Even though he had arranged today’s event from beginning to end, he wondered if it was a belated regret…

Nevertheless, K really hoped that Kang-hu would win the heart of the veteran and receive his teachings.

“Go ahead. “If you’re here, I can’t concentrate.”

“okay. “Go quickly.”

K immediately disappeared into a side road.

【Sense Concentration】

Then, Ganghu immediately used the Sensory Concentration skill. The first thing to strengthen was vision.

“….”

Even in the expanded field of view, the figure of the 1000-year old beast was not visible.

Of course, it wasn’t what I expected to see. If I had been a conspicuously poor assassin, I wouldn’t have been able to get to where I am now.

Instead, Ganghu was able to discover something unusual in a place where the flow of mana was particularly heterogeneous.

For example, it looked like a leaf or branch was pressed against something slightly transparent.

In other words, there is an invisible line. It’s like a transparent version of the diagonal line of distortion.

Once in this state, Kanghu stopped strengthening his sense of sight and continued strengthening his sense of smell.

Then, various smells that I had not felt before began to emerge. Feels like I’m a dog.

Among them, there was no smell of a person living in the past.

It’s not like there aren’t any old men alive. Probably because he hid his smell perfectly.

‘First of all, I laid down an invisible line. The presence was hidden. If it were based on the content of the original, there would be excitement.’

As he traced his memories, Ganghu strengthened his sense of touch. Then I felt a strange heat.

The heat felt foreign in the cool breeze. It will be the heat radiating from the line.

‘It’s intangible and intangible.’

Only then did Kang Hu realize that it was one of the various skills that the Cheonsal Veteran could use.

Intangible and intangible.

It is a skill designed to tangle invisible lines.

If Ganghu’s distorted diagonal skill is to create a single line and aim for the enemy’s life.

Shapeless is a form in which there are multiple lines of distorted diagonal lines.

Although its cutting ability is slightly lower than that of the Distortion Line, its threat cannot be denied.

Additionally, it was possible to link it with traps or other means of attack. It also has some kind of alarm function.

So, if you touch the incorporeal object, the ground will suddenly collapse and you will fall down and die.

Or, there were many cases where they were caught in other pre-installed rockfall traps and buried alive.

“Whoa…”

Kang Hu took a deep breath and reacquired the state of Intangible Mujin.

There is not a single line that can be visually judged through the eyes.

All judgments must be made based on the flow of mana, the appearance of surrounding natural features, and the unique heat.

As if seeing with a third eye, new lines are drawn in the space where nothing is visible.

An intangible flow that only Kanghoo can feel and see. Soon, it is determined which route is safe and which route is not.

[Acceleration]

Ta-da-da-da-da!

Ganghu started to run.

Without hesitation, Kang-hu’s body, running with long strides, came closer to the formation.

Kang Hu thought that the thousand-year old man must be hiding somewhere and watching him closely.

This means that even if you safely pass through the Intangible Mujin, the next attack or check could come from anywhere.

Faaah! Pot! Papat!

Kang-hoo leaped with strength, then lowered his body and almost crawled on the ground.

At a certain point, I turned my body at a right angle and went over as if I was doing limbo.

It wasn’t a stunt.

This is because the intangible was built in such a bad way that it could only be passed through it.

Since it is a river that can estimate its location and shape, it is possible to at least find a way to pass through it.

If someone who knew nothing had come, they would have died in the end, even if they were lucky enough to pass by a few.

‘You’re serious about the test.’

Kanghu felt it.

The truth is that the old master of a thousand years did not simply plan the situation at the level of observation.

How to treat sincerity with sincerity. So Kang Hu also began to break through with even greater speed.

The test ends when K somehow arrives at the villa along the main road rather than the side road he took.

In that case, it would have been better to pass through it as quickly as lightning, rather than giving the old man time to watch it step by step and make a judgment.

This is because the longer it takes, the more tools an observer can use.

Limit the opponent’s targets as much as possible and lead the situation as you want!

It was the picture Kanghu wanted.

* * *

Same time.

‘Look at this guy. Are you intentionally passing by like that so I can see it with my own eyes? ‘This is intentional.’

The thousand-year old monk was surprised to see Ganghu passing through the intangible mass that he had laid out so tightly.

He was a skilled craftsman who had deliberately planned intangible figures so complexly that it was dizzying to look at them and pass by them.

Yes, it was a bad taste in its own way.

Was it really because it was the first time in a long time that I was able to ‘test’ someone?

I developed a desire to push it to the limit by making it as difficult and complicated as possible.

So, it was a well-planned, intangible dance, and Kanghu was able to go through the difficult sections smoothly.

It was something that could never be accomplished unless one had developed a sixth sense that goes beyond the five senses.

‘First of all, there is no unnecessary movement. He’s definitely got the basics down.’

The old man’s eyes deepened.

The number one assassin style he despised the most was the assassin who pursued flashiness.

Such an assassin inevitably mixes in a lot of little moves and useless performances.

It is a style that is the opposite of an assassin who must aim for the target with the shortest path, maximum efficiency, and number of one-hit kills.

However, Kang-hu went through the entire process smoothly, using only the minimum necessary movements.

I shrank my body as much as possible to narrow the area exposed to the outside world and did not focus my gaze on one place.

The coexistence of maximum vigilance and minimum exposure was like looking at one’s old self in a mirror.

From then on, the 1000-year-old veteran continued to watch Kang Hu’s movements, ‘expecting’ him to make a mistake, but no accident occurred.

Rather, at some point, the speed seems to increase, perhaps because it has adapted to the intangible and intangible pattern of the thousand-year old master.

‘Right.’

It certainly was.

When I was designing it by twisting and twisting the intangible pieces up close, I made it without much thought.

When I looked again from a distance, I saw certain intervals and patterns.

What cannot be seen with a narrow field of view can be seen with a wide field of view.

This is a picture that passes the first test using intangibles with ease.

Actually, I was hoping to have a hard time here, but I’m a bastard, so I didn’t get stuck even once.

‘Don’t be arrogant. ‘The exam hasn’t even started yet.’

The person concerned was arrogant and had never said anything, but the old man’s bad taste had already been activated.

The more I became interested in Kang-hu, the more curious I became, the more I wanted to push Kang-hu harshly.

He thought that only by overcoming such harshness could he be qualified to become his disciple.

Isn’t that right? Becoming a disciple of the Cheon-Sal-Osu should not be a position that can be coveted by anyone, be it a dog or a cow.

The word ‘disciple’ alone should be enough to make people in the world fearful! That kind of quality is needed.

* * *

“after.”

I passed the intangible section, which seemed to be the first section, well.

Once I started to get the hang of it, it wasn’t difficult to move while avoiding it in advance.

In addition, the fact that the designer, Cheonsalnosu, showed his own patterns in the process of creating the intangible mujin also played a role.

For example, creating a safe area in three or four step increments. Conversely, it creates a dangerous area.

Although I create it thinking that it provides some variation and that it breaks the regularity.

Once you’ve finished making it, you will see a certain flow. Because we are human, it is an inevitable mistake.

Anyway, after passing the intangible section, a dense forest immediately welcomed Ganghu.

Because so many trees were growing high and receiving a lot of sunlight, it was not easy to secure visibility.

Even though it was broad daylight, the inside of the forest was dark. It feels gloomy and gloomy.

‘The ability to hide is truly excellent.’

Kang Hu laughed, feeling the presence of the 1000-year-old veteran who still could not see a single speck of dust.

At least once in the process, humanity may come out of hiding or even shed a little body odor.

Until now, Kang Hu had not even been able to figure out where the celestial old man was watching him.

Of course, if a thousand-year old man decides to attack himself, he will not be able to hide his presence even if he wants to.

Finally, the moment when Kang-hu takes a powerful step into the forest where the sunlight is cut off.

Skaang!

As if it had been waiting, something flew through the leaves between the dense trees.

At first, I thought it was a weapon like a dagger or a throwing star, but it wasn’t.

It was a ballpoint pen with a blunt tip covered with a cover.

So, if you were wondering if it was a ballpoint pen that you could safely use, it wasn’t.

‘If it had been a dagger instead of a pen, all my bones and flesh would have exploded with just a swipe.’

A red tail wrapped around a ballpoint pen stretched all the way back.

It means that it is full of magical power and has tremendous destructive power.

I threw a ballpoint pen, but if it was that bad, it would be a terrible situation to even imagine if a real weapon was used.

【Wall of Flawlessness】

Ganghu unfolded the Wall of Flawlessness.

I thought about using shadow walk or quick dodge, but that was because there were more than one or two pens flying.

From the start, more than ten pens were flying in, as if they were trying to block all avoidance routes.

And all of those pens were heading in a direction that would be good for Ganghu to avoid.

‘Is it true that assassins know the feelings of assassins best?’

If I were on defense, I would have avoided that route, so as an attacker, I want to block this path at all costs.

As if he had peered into Kang-hu’s inner thoughts, the 100-year-old veteran blocked all options for evasive routes.

In that case, I have no choice but to pick up the Flawless Wall and hit it with my own body. Skills are meant to be used in situations like this.

Next moment.

Tooung!

Kang-hoo, who raised his left arm and spread a flawless wall in the form of a block, easily blocked the ballpoint pen.

Although his body was slightly pushed back by the impact, he succeeded in completely neutralizing the damage.

If it had been countered with a protective barrier or petrification, it would have been a huge shock.

However, in front of the Flawless Wall, it was nothing more or less than just an obstacle that fell helplessly against the wall.

Is that why?

Same time.

‘her?’

Seeing that his attack was blocked so easily, the 100-year-old veteran’s expression took on a peculiar expression.

A defense skill that was not suitable for an assassin suddenly popped out. A unique skill that even I did not have.
