The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 251
Episode 251: The Thousand-Slayer Veteran (3)
* * *
We slowly moved forward and moved forward.
The location of the assassin was guessed, but as a skilled assassin, his appearance was not directly visible.
If I had seen him even once, I would have used Gangdong’s Great Sage Constellation to track him down in secret.
Now that he was completely in hiding and hiding from the beginning, there was no way to find him other than guessing.
In fact, Ganghu could have gone into a stealth fight by using the ‘suppression’ option on the Sea of Tranquility bracelet.
This is because if you can’t see each other, it becomes difficult to target.
Even a 1000-year-old warrior could not attack while accurately specifying Ganghu’s location like he did now.
‘If you have to solve a problem, even if it is a problem you already know, calculating it thoroughly would be good for strengthening your basic skills.’
Kang Hu wanted to feel more of the power of the 1000-year old beast. I also had a desire to endure without hiding.
It’s too easy to hide.
However, if you respond confidently and not hide, it will appeal to him a lot.
But right then.
Ugh!
“…?”
I felt the presence of magical power being sucked into somewhere in an invisible blind spot.
I thought the celestial warrior was trying to use a skill, but the magical energy that had been sucked in was rapidly condensing.
Wow!
It immediately started flying towards Ganghu.
‘Magic dagger?’
I looked into the skills of a 1000-year-old veteran.
Magic dagger.
It is an attack that can create magical energy into the shape of a dagger and send it flying even without a tangible weapon.
When struck, it pierces and rips like a dagger, so there was no need to differentiate it from a dagger.
In fact, that made it more difficult. This is because even if there are no weapons, you can continue to create them to an infinite extent.
Coo!
“Tsk!”
Ganghu’s body, which blocked the magic dagger with an infallible wall, was slightly pushed back.
Ganghu looked up.
Then, the 1000-year old man hiding between the tree branches appears.
This is because the hiding was broken due to the attack.
First, Ganghu used the Great Sage Constellation of Gangdong to quickly designate a Cheonsal Veteran.
Now, even if he hides, he will chase you. I had no intention of losing sight of his location.
Ta-tat!
Ganghu started running towards the 1000-year-old.
Since he was already perched on top of the tree, it seemed like he would have to use his leap to quickly climb up the tree.
‘Let’s cut out one option first.’
Kang Hu was predicting how the Cheonsalnosu would react to block his approach.
The options themselves were diverse, but there was a common keyword.
Dark times. The skills he used to block access were all dark age-based skills.
【Order of Nothingness】
So what was brought out was the Order of Nothingness, the fifth privilege of the Pure Dark Seeker Constellation.
Using one’s own dark energy as a sacrifice to burn the other person’s dark energy as well.
And sealing the opponent’s Dark Age skills for a certain period of time!
It was a business that Kang Hu could not lose.
As an assassin, the level is higher and the assassin will have trained for a long time, so there will be much more darkness.
【The order of nothingness has been enforced.】
【Because the target has much more darkness, some of the darkness has evaporated according to the equivalent exchange.】 【The
target’s darkness skill is completely sealed for 30 seconds.】
‘That’s it.’
With a smile of remorse, Kang-hu plunged the dagger into the tree and jumped up in one go.
“…?”
Meanwhile, the 1000-year old beast was surprised by the sudden skill seal.
Needless to say, the darkness evaporated instantly, causing damage to the entire body.
I felt like my whole body was getting heavy, and an ‘X’ mark appeared on all Dark Age-related skills.
A separately activated debuff notification displayed ‘Order of Nothingness’ and a notification that dark age skills could not be used for 30 seconds.
The plan of the Cheon-sal Veteran, who was trying to trouble Kang-hu who was approaching using the ‘Cheon-ra Illusion Art’, was broken.
I had an idea from the beginning that Kang-hoo would be able to improvise in some way.
However, I could not have imagined that that improvisation would be a way to seal the dark age skills of the Cheonsal Veteran.
“This guy!”
The thousand-year-old warrior threw his magic dagger at Kang-hu, who was climbing the tree, throwing his body backwards.
Although I was confused for a moment, the distance was not close enough to allow an attack.
Taaang! Cough!
Ganghu blocked the magic dagger with the wall of flawlessness.
I could see the durability continuing to decrease, but it seemed like I could still take a few more hits.
The problem is the damage.
The magic dagger that seemed to be thrown with great ease, befitting the reputation of a 1000-year old swordsman, was a great burden to Ganghu.
Every time I block, my entire left elbow feels like it’s shaking. I could feel the pain even through the wall.
‘I haven’t even used a real weapon, but I’m losing a lot of energy in the early exploration battle.’
Kang Hu clearly felt the difference in power that existed between himself and the 1000-year-old veteran.
I didn’t have any foolish feelings, like I couldn’t tolerate it or I was angry. He is quite capable.
I came here with the intention of having him as my teacher, and it was sincere from the beginning.
Cheongchuleoram can also be achieved after learning, and cannot be achieved before meeting.
at that time.
Huh!
The magic dagger flew in again.
But something interesting happened.
[The effect of the Patience Constellation is activated, increasing the skill evasion rate against the target by 5%.]
Although the probability is low, the skill evasion rate has been applied.
Thanks to this, the magic dagger that was flying in a straight line towards Ganghu was bent as if it was being drawn by something.
‘In Perseverance, you get the evasion rate by multiplying the level difference by 0.01. Since my level is 255… Is the 1000-year-old warrior level 755? ‘That’s huge.’
The level of the 1000-year-old veteran was considerably higher than Kang Hu thought. At this level, he is almost close to Jang Si-hwan.
at that time.
Taaat!
As Kang Hu approached, steadfastly holding the magic dagger in check, the 1000-year-old warrior leapt to increase the distance.
This time, it seemed like they were planning to move to a different tree. So Kang Hu also threw in his own checks.
【Hwaryongchang】
Rumbling!
I used the Fire Dragon Spear skill on the powerful long spear I took out from my pocket and flew it to the predicted point of the celestial veteran’s leap.
‘Are you saying that we will never allow any further distancing?’
Admiring Kang-hu’s spirit in choosing an aggressive response, the 100-year old man changed his response.
I tried to harass Kang-hoo by keeping him in check from afar, but if it turns out like this, I have no choice but to challenge him head-on.
Papat!
The veteran of a thousand years lightly stepped on the tip of a long spear stuck in a tree and threw his body away.
【Shinyoung】
Then, the figure of the 1000-year old beast scattered and stretched out, as if he was looking at a ghost whose form he could not determine.
Kanghu paused.
It was clear that he had leapt towards him, but his figure had disappeared from sight.
It’s not hiding. If that were the case, it would have been confirmed through the effect of the Great Sage Constellation of Gangdong.
‘Ghost shadow. It’s Shinyoung’s skill.’
Kang-hoo, who soon realized the skill he had used, leaped straight ahead without hesitation.
The 1000-year old beast is still flying straight at him. It just became invisible.
Not hiding, not hallucinating.
Strictly speaking, it was a similar ability to Jeong Yu-ri’s ability to change her body into black smoke.
It becomes invisible, but even if you try to detect it using stealth detection or illusion detection, you won’t be able to see it.
“….”
Kanghu concentrated as much as he could.
The more you try, the less you see.
Rather than thinking with your head, react as your body tells you.
It may be vague, but it was a method with a much higher success rate than other methods that were not vague.
Next moment.
“…!”
Sensing a faint presence, Ganghu withdrew his right hand with all his strength and stretched out his left hand at the same time.
Sigh!
“Tsk!”
One step too late. His right hand was grabbed by the old man of a thousand years.
But it didn’t end there. Kang Hu also succeeded in grabbing the arm of the 100-year-old veteran.
The only problem is that they met each other in the air and now have no choice but to fall.
“It’s pretty good.”
“hello?”
A brief greeting was exchanged.
Shoooo!
They got along well with each other.
In the meantime, Kang-hu chose to put more pressure on the assassin than to respond after the fall.
【Hatred】
【Activates the hatred of the ‘Resentment’ gloves and utilizes the magic power to maximize grip strength.】
Knock knock!
Soon, as Kang Hu’s glove of resentment, which was gripping the wrist of a thousand-year old man, gained strength, the thousand-year old man’s expression changed.
Since I was falling from the air, I implicitly thought I would see a picture of a safe landing.
If they continued like this, they would fall entangled together and shatter their knees or something else.
Of course, Ganghu had his own insurance.
The idea was to minimize the impact by scattering the shadow and changing positions with the shadow walk just before hitting the ground.
“This guy!”
When he saw Kang Hu looking like he was planning to commit suicide, he changed his mind.
Now is not the time to pick on them, but to push back on the madness. Because the actual test and the test are completely different.
Wow!
In the air, the 100-year old man immediately grabbed Kang-hu’s hands.
While pulling up his lower body, he kicked Ganghu’s chest as hard as he could with both feet.
It was no ordinary kick. It wasn’t just a skill mask, it was a shot full of magical power.
Pow!
“Ugh!”
“after!”
Kang-hu, who was hit squarely in the chest by the celestial veteran’s foot, let out a groan and was pushed backwards in the air.
The 100-year-old monk also drew a picture of himself doing somersaults, then falling backwards and landing stably.
Kang Hu also thought that he was a veteran of a thousand years.
The 1000-year old master twisted a situation that could have been a crisis and turned it into an advantageous picture.
The one who takes his place first will be a veteran. There is no way my feet can comfortably touch the ground here.
Although Kang Hu could not see the assassin’s follow-up moves, he read his moves with the assassin’s intuition.
The direction in which you will be most vulnerable as you will land on the ground one beat late!
【Flawless Wall】
A wall was spread out there.
And when I lifted my head, which had been lowered in shock.
Cough!
As expected, the magic dagger that flew from the front hit the flawless wall.
Chi-ik!
Without even having time to properly maintain his balance, Kang-hu’s body was pushed backwards.
It was a magical dagger with more than three times the power of the one I had experienced before.
【Shadow Walk】
Ganghu performed a shadow walk backwards.
Since the center had already collapsed, there was not enough time to reorganize normally.
And the magic dagger that had left the hand of the 100-year-old veteran was flying towards Ganghu again.
The thousand-year old beast did not allow even a moment to catch his breath. It would be a picture that made no sense to allow in the first place.
That wasn’t all.
Kuddeuk!
The ground shook and the ground Kang-hu stood on became liquefied. I was on the verge of becoming like a body stuck in a swamp.
Papat!
Kanghu changed the position of the shadow that had been spread out in advance.
If it weren’t for the Shadow Walk skill, I would have been stuck as a sacrifice in a swamp.
However, thanks to his wits, Kang Hu also escaped danger and now has time to cool off even a drop of sweat.
and.
“Bold guy… he’s quite the guy.”
A strange smile appeared on the mouth of the 1000-year-old veteran, who had always had an expressionless face until now.
